A gift returned ten thousandfold: I am the number one licker in all realms!

But what surprised Luo Xing the next second was what he discovered.

The city lord's reaction shocked everyone.

The next second, the city lord suddenly knelt down on the ground, clasped his hands together, and looked at Luo Xing with a pleading expression.

"Young Master Luo Xing, I beg for your help."

Luo Xing was stunned for a moment when he saw the city lord's actions.

The difference between their current behavior and their earlier one is quite striking. Just moments ago, the city lord was acting arrogantly and superior, a figure to be revered. But what is this reaction now?

"Lord of the City, please get up. Is there anything I can help you with? If I can, I will do my best to help. You don't need to do this."

In fact, Luo Xingcai could have guessed that it was related to his level as an eighth-grade alchemist. Otherwise, the city lord wouldn't have heard his identity and reacted so strongly afterward.

The next second, the city lord couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Young Master Luo Xing, to be honest, my daughter is seriously ill. She has been poisoned by a strange poison, and only an alchemist can save her life."

“I have some connections in this city and have invited quite a few alchemists, but unfortunately their alchemist ranks are too low. The highest is only an eighth-rank alchemist, which is simply not enough to cure my daughter.”

"I have no other choice but to beg Young Master Luo Xing. You are now an eighth-grade alchemist. I hope you can save my daughter."

"As long as you can save my daughter, whatever you want—no, even my old life, or this city—I'll give it all. As long as you can save my daughter, whatever you say goes, and I'll have no objections."

Luo Xing was taken aback, not expecting such a strong reaction. However, he was curious about what kind of poison could render even a seventh-grade brewing master helpless. After all, he was a legitimate skinner. And poisons that required the intervention of an eighth-grade alchemist were extremely rare in this world; they were probably just a few of the most notable ones.

Luo Xing didn't put on any airs. Instead, he lifted the other person up with his other hand and spoke to him respectfully.

"Lord City Lord, I'd be happy to help, but I wonder what kind of poison my daughter has been afflicted with? I also don't know if I can treat her. Although I am an eighth-grade alchemist, I've only just been promoted to the eighth grade. There's still a gap between me and a true eighth-grade alchemist."

"Therefore, I cannot guarantee whether I can save the princess."

Although Luo Xing did not explicitly agree, he knew from the other party's reaction that there was still hope, so he didn't say anything more and hurriedly pulled Luo Xing towards his city lord's mansion.

The city lord flew over quickly with Luo Xing, unwilling to delay the treatment, even though he knew that a little more time wouldn't make a difference.

His daughter is now in her thirties. Although young and beautiful, she suffers from a rare and potent poison that has tormented him for decades. If he can't find an antidote soon, she'll likely die. But what could possibly attract him to a true eighth-grade alchemist? He's merely a minor city lord; how could he possibly persuade such a master to come?

Bai Laosan and his clansmen could only watch helplessly as the two flew away, knowing there was nothing he could do to help.

He had already heard about the city lord's daughter's illness, but he wasn't qualified to intervene. After all, he was just a minor sixth-grade alchemist. To treat the city lord's daughter, at least a seventh-grade alchemist would be needed.

"Sigh, this is an eighth-grade style. Wherever he sits, he'll be the center of attention. If nothing unexpected happens, our city lord will become a little fanboy of this young master Luo Xing."

"I'm not trying to criticize you, Xiaoxue. Look at how outstanding Luo Xing is, but how could you possibly climb up to him? Alright, granddaughter, stop daydreaming. Grandpa will find you a good family later."

The girl, Bai Xue, could only watch with a wronged expression as the young master Luo Xing had already left in the distance.

In fact, he had long known that he and Luo Xing were from completely different worlds. The other party would one day stand at the top of this continent, while he could only belong to a small family.

But he just couldn't help liking Luo Xing; his heart would beat very fast every time he saw Luo Xing.

He even wished Luo Xing wasn't so outstanding, and that he himself could become more outstanding, worthy of Luo Xing. Of course, this was just his fantasy; he knew it was impossible. Without so many "what ifs," being unworthy was simply unworthy, and he would only ever be a member of a small family.

Half an hour later, the city lord led Luo Xing to an exceptionally large courtyard within their residence. This truly broadened Luo Xing's horizons; he had never seen anyone's courtyard so vast!

Then he was pulled into a room by the city lord. Even before entering the room, he could sense that something was strange.

Luo Xing subconsciously unleashed his aura, wanting to use some spiritual power to protect himself.

"Lord City Lord, something seems amiss. I can sense a poison spreading around us."

"What dangers might we encounter if we rush in? Lord City Lord, what's wrong with your daughter?"

Luo Xing was able to easily detect the toxins permeating the air; from a distance, it appeared to be a green mist. If an ordinary person inhaled this mist, they would likely collapse and die within minutes.

Before entering, the city lord gave Luo Xing a bead, an antidote bead he and some alchemists had made together. It allowed him to approach the room and defend against some of the poison's effects; inhaling the poison would result in immediate death.

"Young Master Luo Xing, I won't say anything more. Once you and I come in, everything will be clear."

Luo Xing listened to the city lord's words and didn't say anything more, so he followed the city lord inside.

Upon entering, one sees a woman lying on the bed, her entire body wrapped in white bandages.

The woman remained motionless, seemingly lifeless.

But this woman, who seemed to have lost her breath, appeared to be releasing a green toxin from her entire body.

As an eighth-grade alchemist, Luo Xing could naturally sense how powerful this poison was. He looked at the city lord with some shock.

The city lord breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Young Master Luo Xing, you are an alchemist, you should be able to sense something, right?"

You are probably unfamiliar with this kind of toxin.

"This is known as one of the ten most potent poisons in the world."

"The Poison of the Broken Ghost Flower".

"After being poisoned by this toxin, your whole body will rot after three days."

"I used all my connections and searched for alchemists all over the world to find a miraculous way to stop the spread of the poison in my daughter's body. But even so, it won't last long. In desperation, I can only let my daughter sleep here."

"But then this strange poison was continuously released through my daughter's body, eventually spreading throughout the air. At that time, this poison killed many people in my household."

"If nothing unexpected happens, my daughter's body will rot within three days, and I, as her father, am completely powerless to do anything about it."

"I beg Young Master Luo Xing to save my daughter's life."

As the city lord was speaking, he tried to kneel down on the ground again, but fortunately Luo Xing stopped him in time.

"Alright, Lord City Lord, now that I'm here and have encountered this situation, I will naturally do my best to help. However, if there is really no other way, I hope you won't blame me."

The city lord had nodded frantically, so what else could he possibly ask for? He could only place all his hopes on Luo Xing.

Afterwards, the city lord left the room and then placed all the medicinal herbs in the city lord's mansion in the courtyard, providing them to Luo Xing for his alchemy needs.

Luo Xing was selecting the medicinal herbs. After glancing at them, he couldn't help but be surprised. He hadn't expected that the city lord would have all sorts of medicinal herbs.

There were even some rare medicinal herbs that he had never seen before.

However, when Luo Xing arrived in front of the city lord's daughter and saw the patches of white marks on his body, he frowned again. He could tell that this poison was definitely not something he could easily neutralize.

Nuoxing even took out a silver needle, wanting to find out what was going on, but before the silver needle could even touch the city lord's daughter's body, it immediately turned into a pool of silver liquid.

"It seems this girl is a bit difficult to deal with."

"If it were an ordinary poison, a simple pill could solve the problem, but this poison is really a headache."

"Oh well, what can I do? I have no choice but to use this method."
