The Legend of the Demon Hunter

"Knock, knock, knock!" The knock on the door sounded again. The doorman was furious and was about to open the door again to teach these two ignorant guys a lesson, but the blond boy's next words left him stunned.

"Please tell Master Xia that a man named Gu Chuan came to visit and offered a prescription to cure Miss Xia's earthly body."

The doorman raised his hand and paused in the air. He looked at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in disbelief. Although he accurately described the symptoms of Miss Xia's earth soul body, the doorman was still a little uneasy when he saw how young he was.

It is no longer a secret in Fuguang Town that Miss Xia has an earth spirit body.

Xia Meitao has no sons but a daughter, whom he dotes on. However, the daughter of the Xia family has been weak and sick since she was a child, and has been seriously ill for several times and almost died. In order to treat his daughter, Xia Meitao almost spent all his family property, but the daughter of the Xia family has not recovered from her illness.

Until one day, a wandering sorcerer told Xia Meitao that his daughter suffered from a disease called "earth soul body". Ordinary people are born with three souls and seven spirits, but she has one more spirit than ordinary people, and this extra spirit is the earth soul. If ordinary people suffer from this disease, they usually die in infancy. I don't know why Miss Xia can live to her teens.

Unfortunately, although this traveling sorcerer diagnosed the cause of the disease, he did not know how to treat it.

Afterwards, Xia Meitao began to look for someone who could treat the disease, and offered to give away all the Xia family's property to anyone who could cure his daughter. However, three years had passed, and he had not found anyone who could cure the disease, or even someone who had heard of the disease.

Today, this young boy actually vowed that he could cure Miss Xia. How could this not make the doorman shocked and suspicious?

Just as he was hesitating, a middle-aged man with gray hair and beard came over. The doorman's eyes were immediately attracted by him, and he bowed and said respectfully: "Mr. Fang, you are here, I will go and inform the master of the sect."

The middle-aged man called Mr. Fang obviously noticed everything at the door. He ignored the doorman and walked straight to Xiao Zhu who was lying on the ground, wondering, "Did he go crazy when his bloodline awakened?"

Furukawa was in awe of the middle-aged man who saw the problem at a glance, and replied, "Yes, sir, please save my friend."

"Huh? You are a demon hunter too?" The middle-aged man looked at Furukawa and asked puzzledly.

Furukawa remained silent.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I'm Fang Zhiyuan, and I'm a close friend of Patriarch Xia. You've come to the Xia Mansion for help, and you've really come to the right place. But whether your friend can be saved depends on Patriarch Xia's attitude. Just follow me!" Fang Zhiyuan said.

"Thank you, senior!" Gu Chuan said gratefully, and then followed Fang Zhiyuan towards the Xia family lobby.

Hearing Fang Zhiyuan coming, Xia Meitao was already waiting in the lobby. He walked out of the room, bowed to Fang Zhiyuan and said, "Welcome Mr. Fang... Eh? Who are these two?"

Xia Meitao's eyes were drawn to Gu Chuan and Xiao Zhu, who was supported by him. Fang Zhiyuan explained, "I just met these two brothers at the door. The tall one seemed to have gone astray when the demon hunter's bloodline awakened. Master Xia, do you want to help them?"

"This..." Xia Meitao hesitated for a moment and said, "As fellow demon hunters, my Xia family should not refuse if you need help. But this little brother has gone so far astray that I am sorry I can't do anything about it."

Gu Chuan was not surprised by Xia Meitao's polite refusal. He continued without hesitation, "I heard that the daughter of the Xia family has been troubled by the 'earth spirit body' for a long time. If I can find a way to cure your daughter, would Master Xia be willing to help?"

"Can you save Shi'er?" Xia Meitao suddenly stood up from the chair, and in desperation he broke off the handle of the chair.

"I wonder if Master Xia has ever heard of the acacia flower?" Gu Chuan asked calmly.

Xia Meitao looked confused, but Fang Zhiyuan asked, "Could it be the legendary acacia flower that has the effect of captivating people?"

Gu Chuan complimented, "Senior, you are knowledgeable and wise, I admire you! I also accidentally discovered the origin of the Acacia Flower in a book. It is said that this flower blooms on a plant called Li Grass, which is a plant that never blooms. More than a thousand years ago, there was a newlywed couple with deep feelings. The husband was killed by a monster, and the woman missed her husband every night and cried. In the end, she died of excessive grief. The Li Grass growing in her yard was irrigated by the woman's blood and tears and actually bloomed, hence the name Acacia Flower."

"It is rumored that this acacia flower has the ability to captivate people. If ordinary people eat it by mistake, their souls will leave their bodies and they will die. But with the help of this flower, the earth soul of your daughter can be drawn out of her body, and then she will be able to recover like a normal person." Furukawa vowed.

After hearing this, Xia Meitao stood in awe, and spoke to Gu Chuan in an unusually respectful tone: "My dear little brother, no, my dear sir, may I ask how to find this acacia flower?"

"In fact, there is a plant of this acacia flower near Fuguang Town." Guchuan deliberately kept the secret.

Hearing this, Xia Meitao's eyes widened suddenly, and he lost his composure in panic, and asked anxiously: "Where is it?"

"There is a mountain range called Heshan in the southwest of Fuguang Town. This mountain range stretches for dozens of miles and has four or five peaks. Because Heshan is rarely visited, people have not given any separate names to the peaks. But in the embrace of Heshan, there is a village called Heshan Village. The villagers divide Heshan into four mountains: east, west, south and north according to the direction of the peaks relative to the village. And the acacia flower is on the east mountain of Heshan."

Gu Chuan paused, then continued, "But now it is occupied by a group of demonized snow ants. Ordinary people will only die in vain if they go there. If your family can save my friend, I will take the acacia flower and give it to Sect Master Xia. Besides, the two seniors have also seen that my friend is experiencing the awakening of the demon hunter's bloodline. If the awakening is successful, facing the swarms of snow ants, my chances of taking the flower will increase by three points."

Although it was still hard to tell the truth from the false method Gu Chuan said, since he had proposed a cure and could help find the acacia flower, it was a huge surprise to Xia Meitao, who had been searching for it for more than ten years without success. Xia Meitao carefully considered Gu Chuan's words and found that there seemed to be no flaws, so he nodded and said to the servant beside him, "Go call Shi'er!"

A quarter of an hour later, a slender woman walked in. She was only sixteen years old, but already had a stunning beauty. However, her face was paler than that of ordinary people, which seemed to be related to her long-term illness.

She bowed to Xia Meitao and Fang Zhiyuan and said, "Dad, Uncle Fang!" Her voice was soft and gentle.

"Shi'er, this young man named Xiao Zhu became possessed when his bloodline awakened. Can you see if you can cure him?" Xia Meitao's voice was particularly gentle to his daughter.

Guchuan suddenly realized that the person in the Xia family who was proficient in medical skills was actually this teenage girl!

The woman nodded and walked in front of Xiao Zhu. She smiled apologetically at Gu Chuan and said, "Sir, please help the patient to the chair over here."

Even though Gu Chuan's face was as cold as an iceberg, he took another look at the woman and helped Xiao Zhu up as she said. The woman gently held Xiao Zhu's wrist with her slender jade fingers. After a moment, she frowned, her face flushed with nervousness, and said, "Please help the patient to the guest room. I need to start treatment immediately, otherwise it will be too late."

After one day and one night.

Xiao Zhu seemed to have experienced a nightmare. In the dream, the people in their village were harmed again and again by huge and terrifying monsters. He could not see the appearance of these monsters clearly, but he was also powerless to save these people.

Having a dream means having consciousness, but before that there is nothing. Compared to nightmares, that feeling of nothingness scares him even more.

Xiao Zhu woke up from a nightmare. The remaining memories of the nightmare had not completely faded away. He was gasping for breath. Only then did he realize that his clothes were soaked with sweat.

What caught Xiao Zhu's eyes was a white jade hand, gently wiping Xiao Zhu's forehead with a towel. A faint fragrance lingered in front of Xiao Zhu.

"Oh! You finally woke up!" the woman said in surprise.

Xiao Zhu finally saw the woman's face clearly. It was a beautiful face, but it was pale and tired. The woman smiled sincerely at Xiao Zhu's awakening.

"Hello...where is this?" Xiao Zhu asked puzzledly.

"Of course this is the Xia family!" the woman answered naturally.

"Xia family?" Xiao Zhu was puzzled.

At this time, Gu Chuan opened the door and walked in. He saw that Xiao Zhu had woken up. He had an indifferent expression without any surprise. He said, "Now that you are awake, get up! You should be fine."

Xiao Zhu tried to move his hands and feet, and just as Gu Chuan said, he did not feel weak at all after recovering from a serious illness, and he even felt that his limbs were stronger.

"I remember that I seemed to be frozen by those giant ants, and there were many people like me... What on earth happened?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"You have just experienced the awakening of the demon hunter's bloodline." Furukawa said.

"Miss Xia, since Xiao Zhu has woken up, let me explain everything to him! Now that he has become a demon hunter, it's time for him to know the truth about this world."
