This...this... At this moment, Tedusius was rooted to the spot, both eyes staring straight ahead. The group of people from the legendary physician family were all pale and dumbfounded. The little girl, Hanna, directly jumped up to her feet. She pointed to the front and stuttered as she yelped, "S-she's alive! S-she came back to life?" Indeed! The woman was alive! The ugly woman who had been turned into a puddle of blood by Fred's finger a second ago had somehow appeared in front of the crowd in perfect condition. Seeing something this incredible and miraculous, how could they not be dumbfounded and shocked? "Does this count as the living dead?" Looking at the crowd's dumbfounded appearance, Fred asked with a faint smile. Once these words came out, everyone was speechless, except Tedusius who hurriedly asked, "H-h-how did you do it?" How did he do it? Fred smiled without answering. In fact, for this kind of miracle, Fred had already performed it for the
Entrusted with a visit to witness the arts of ancient medicine? To be honest, if it was earlier, Tedusius would certainly not show a nice expression when he heard about Fred's purpose for coming. After all, those people from South Carlos, who had come to the legendary physician family before, had also come for something related to ancient medicine. Following that, they had almost caused the entire legendary physician family to suffer. Now that Fred had revealed he came for the ancient medicine as well, how could Tedusius accept this? However, Tedusius had just witnessed Fred's moves. With a ringing finger, he blew up a person into a puddle of blood. With a grip of his hand, he restored the pool of blood back to human form. Something like this, to put it blunt, was called divine. On the other hand, it also made people feel fearful and uneasy! Obviously, Tedusius knew in his heart that offending Fred would only lead to more serious consequences than offending the Sout
With such a scene, Tedusius and the people from the legendary physician family people all looked dumbfounded.Even the little girl, Hanna, had her jaw fall. Wide-eyed and with one hand pulling her father, Tedusius, by the corner of his coat, she asked, "Daddy, is that person...a saint??" When these words came out, Tedusius immediately shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Even if he's not, he's not far off!" ... After climbing to the top of the mountain and arriving at the legendary physician family home… In order to thank Fred for helping to drive away the South Carlosians from the legendary physician family home, Tedusius, the head of the family, planned to host a banquet for Fred. Although there was no lavish and gourmet food in the mountains, Tedusius took out herbs grown by the legendary physician family and made them into medicinal meals, which had their own unique flavor. After three rounds of drinking… Tedusius told the crowd to leave the table, ma
The Nightingale. Who was the Nightingale? That was the name of a legendary physician! A place named after the Nightingale was naturally where that person stayed! Most importantly, on the platform in the mountain medicine field, Fred had heard that the reason the people from the Southern Border, represented by the red-haired woman, had come to the Nightingale to make a fuss was because of the scroll of the Nightingale. Therefore, when he heard that Tedusius was going to take him to the Nightingale, Fred knew that the name must be related to the ancient medicine that the legendary physician family had been guarding for generations! As he followed the way, even though it was in the middle of a starry night and the moon was hanging low in the sky, Fred's eyesight gave him a clear view of the Nightingale in front of him for the first time. From the looks of it, the Nightingale's residence was just a rather common-looking hut, and it can even be called simple! "Is it gre
Two weeks later, Tedusius came again. Fred laughed and said, "I did not expect time to fly so quickly! The last time I read this much was back when I was preparing for the college entrance exams!""You’re so funny, Mr. Hoffman!"Tedusius shook his head and chuckled when he heard Fred cracking a joke. Then, he asked, How was it, Mr. Hoffman?""It's a huge win!"Fred nodded slightly.That was the truth. The Nightingale had an extensive collection of medical books, arranged on different bookshelves according to increasing level of difficulty!The thought occurred to Fred more than once while he was reading the books. ‘If it wasn't for Hunter Walls's personal tutorship over several months—which laid a solid foundation for me in medicine—I wouldn’t be able to understand anything even if I got inside!’Fred looked up at Tedusius and asked, "Is the time limit up?""Of course not! Mr. Hoffman, seeing that you love these medical books so much, you’re already a kindred spirit to us of th
"The Talbots of Bayside Grove? That’s tough!"Bayside Grove was not far away from Delta Valley, about an hour's drive away.Therefore, as soon as Fred descended the mountain, he went back to Starbell Village to check on Tyne and Wester before heading to Bayside Grove.On the way back, Fred called Stellar to ask him to find out about the Talbots of Bayside Grove."My lord, the Talbots are rather notorious!"Over the phone, Stellar said, "Soren Talbot is the head of the Talbots. He was a construction site contractor in his early years. With his cunning disposition, he not only stole the boss’s wife, but even conspired with her to swindle the boss for a lot of gold."Afterward, Soren started a real estate business with this load of gold. Through various methods like coercion, deception, and forceful demolition of houses and occupied land, he became a business titan of Bayside Grove and amassed hundreds of millions in assets in just ten years. At the same time, his family, the Talbot
At this moment, a voice that was as indifferent as Fred's was heard. "It's a great honor to have you here, Mr. Hoffman!"Fred raised his eyes and saw a thin man walking out of the Talbot Residence, looking at him with a smile.Meanwhile, the servant who was rude to Fred just now instantly changed into a respectful demeanor when the thin man appeared. The servant stepped forward and asked, "Uhm… Sir, did you really invite this man?""Yes indeed! Any objections?" the man asked."No, no! Of course not!"The servant quickly waved his hand and stepped aside.The thin man walked forward slowly again. He smiled as he approached Fred. "Mr. Hoffman, you must have been troubled by the journey!""Don’t mention it!"Fred returned the pleasantries casually as he looked the man up and down.Although the man had not revealed his identity yet, Fred was almost certain that he was the successor of ancient medicine!However, this also brought some doubt to Fred.According to what Hunter said,
Chance.In this short period, Fred heard that word more than once.Previously, Tedusius, the head of the Legendary Physician family, had mentioned the word "chance" to Fred more than once when they were together.However, right now, this man who called himself The Nightingale, the successor of ancient medicine, said he had calculated all this. This made Fred frown slightly."My lineage in ancient medicine is unlike the rumors in the world. One cannot use fighting skills to supplement their medical skills! It’s about building one's morality from childhood, cultivating an impressive aura, and then achieving an ability similar to a warlord’s strength like yours!"As the man continued to speak, an extremely righteous aura burst forth from him, sweeping over Fred.However, Fred only felt a gentle sweeping of spring breeze from the man's aura, unlike the usual suppression of a warlord's aura.Alas!In the next second, like the sun shining down, a golden light gradually appeared on Fr
Marciella walking away did not bode well with the giant snake. Marciella was its food! How could it accept that its food had escaped?Marciella had not moved far yet. She reluctantly looked back at Fred.She did not know how Fred would handle the River God. She could only hope Fred would be okay!When Fred saw that she had left, he geared up, rubbing his palms in glee. He had an eager look on his face, which confused the giant snake.It was the snake’s first time meeting a man like Fred!How strange indeed!At this time!Suddenly, Fred said with hostility etched on his face, "Hey, Big Snake, what are you going to do now?"The snake's attention was entirely focused on him, which seemed off to Fred."What I’m going to do?"The giant snake fixated its eyes on Fred. It felt that it could handle a human like Fred easily.“I’m going to kill you with one bite! How dare you look down on me like this!"The giant snake rushed toward Fred fiercely at a speed so fast that no one could
Fred was annoyed by the giant snake's arrogant tone. Fred squinted his eyes at the snake and asked in confusion, "Why are you making that face?"“Huh?"The giant snake was shocked. He thought that Fred would submit to him, but to his surprise, Fred was not shaken at all.The snake was about to lose his temper.“Dirty snake, haven't I made myself clear enough? I think you are probably sleep-talking if you want me to hand over my people to you..." Fred said impatiently.At this moment…Feeling that it was being ridiculed, the snake said suddenly, "You punk, this is the first time anyone spoke to me this way. What is your name?"“Me?"Fred was stunned subconsciously, not knowing what the snake wanted. Suddenly, he understood.“Did you want to know my name so you can remember me, bow down before me, and become my follower? Sure, I’ll give you that chance!"He was adding fuel to the fire. The giant snake almost spat out blood in anger!"What? You want me to follow an immature bei
Huh!?Putting aside Marciella, even Fred could not hide his shock as a giant snake appeared from under the water!A giant snake!How could it be!?Fred's eyes widened at the sheer size of the snake. "A Giant Snake… Is this the so-called River God?"Moreover, the size was humongous. The snake must be at least ten stories high!What a huge snake!Fred finally understood why he felt a powerful force under the water!There was a sharp glint in the giant snake’s eyes! That was the blinking light from time to time!"Who comes here? Are you from the village? Who do you plan to sacrifice to me this time?" As soon as the giant snake spoke, Fred realized that this was not the first time it had done this.The snake seemed familiar with the ritual process. Obviously, the villagers had witnessed this giant snake before. This was the meeting between the two sides! Fred felt uncomfortable at this. As for the giant snake, it felt bemused when it saw Fred. The snake had never seen Fred befo
Fred was going to risk it all to open this girl's eyes!The force from the punch was extraordinary! As soon as the tree was hit by the seismic fist, it fell immediately and the whole tree split neatly in two!Marciella was dumbfounded!Although she knew how powerful Fred was, to witness his power was a different thing entirely!"Master Fred, your power is insane!"Marciella could not help but applaud.Fred seemed indifferent, as though he had no feeling at all about this."Is it? Why do you think so?"He looked so indifferent.For Ancient Martial Arts, things did not get any simpler than this!"You’re so strong. Anyway, I don’t doubt you anymore..." Marciella sighed, suddenly feeling very sad. "This is the reward of being educated. If we were more knowledgeable, we wouldn’t be so clueless.”"Haha, if you can't solve your issues, your descendants can work harder," Fred said with a wink.Marciella said, "Mr. Fred, I needed to ask you something! What if our luck was changed ju
What Fred said aroused her curiosity."What does it look like when you offer a sacrifice?"Fred knew he could not speak of this matter. Sure enough, Marciella felt a little downcast after Fred said the words. She did not know why Fred would say such a thing. Suddenly, Fred felt bad about it.He coughed and said, "Don't think too much about it... I just want to find a clue. Maybe we could find a solution. Why does it never rain in your village?""Huh?"Marciella's eyes, which were still a little dejected, suddenly realized what was important and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Fred, are you saying that the reason why it never rains in our village is because someone is behind it?"Although Fred was unwilling to admit it, he could not help but nod. "Yes, this is exactly what you thought!""For real?!"Marciella felt hopeful again when she heard this. She said hastily, "The thing you asked about is pretty simple. You can just check out that place!""That place?"Fred turned around to see w
Marciella found herself nodding in agreement with Fred's harsh assessment. "You're spot on," she said. "That woman is nothing but vile!"Seeing Marciella's reaction, a rare smile crossed Fred's face as he nodded back. "Glad you see it my way," he said.What caught Fred off guard was the villagers' reaction. One by one, their faces turned ashen with despair.It seemed to them that nothing could be worse than the predicament they were facing. The absence of the witch spelled doom for the village—it was like their last shred of hope had vanished. They had all put their faith in her to charm the River God into blessing them with rain, which would have brought some peace to their troubled lives. However, now their chances seemed to have dried up just like their fields. Fred stood there, his face a mask of serenity amidst the chaos.In the moments that followed, the village chief was a picture of despair, his only option was to send everyone home while he racked his brain for a backup pl
"What?"Fred did not even have time to blink before the witch suddenly made a move.It was like a bomb went off.Kaboom!Then, she was dead!Fred dusted off his hands, even surprising himself with his lack of tolerance for the witch.Now, though, he had a real headache. He had planned to clear the air with the witch and lay out the past so everyone would know the full picture.He thought that might just turn things around.The situation changed when she vanished, and Fred's plans were completely derailed. Then again, changing the villagers' minds was not going to be a walk in the park anyway. They were pretty set in their ways, thanks to all the stuff they had been fed.As such, just talking it out might not cut it. Heck, it could even mess with history!With the witch out of the equation, Fred figured he might as well try a different tactic. Maybe if he took out the guy in the cloak and worked his own magic to bring some rain, it could save a lot of hassle. The more he thoug
"No way!"The witch bristled with defiance. She could not accept that she was no match for Fred.As she noticed Fred's focus was locked on her, a sly idea popped up in her mind.Before she could act on it, though, she found herself pinned against the wall by Fred in a flash...Her face contorted in disbelief. She was pinned so tightly that she could not even move!The witch was completely overpowered, her heart racing with panic.How could he be so much stronger than her?Fred, on the other hand, seemed unfazed."What's going through your head? You don't seriously think you can take me on, do you?" Fred asked, his voice laced with skepticism.The witch felt utterly trapped, as if at any second, Fred might just finish her off."Look, I messed up, okay? Can we not do this? I'm old, just a pile of brittle bones—I can't take this kind of rough treatment!" the witch pleaded with Fred, trying a new tactic to get through to him.Fred was not falling for it. He looked at her with a
"Heh, I caught on to you a while back, you know. You've been tailing me, and I'm pretty sure you're here for me. Plus, you don't have the look of someone from our village. That means you are an outsider, and I'm your target, right? Listen, man, we don't have any beef with each other, so why are you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong?"The witch had sensed the raw power rolling off Fred, and it was enough to send shivers down her spine!At that moment, she knew that challenging Fred was not going to be a walk in the park! If she had spotted him earlier in the forest, it would not have been good news for her. For starters, she had no clue how many tricks Fred had up his sleeve, and if he took her down, she and her buddy would be toast.However, the witch was not about to let Fred take her out without a fight! She racked her brain and finally settled on one strategy!She would try to sweet-talk him, hoping Fred would fall for her words just like everyone else, and fall into he
