"Father... what kind of poison did he take? Brother, how is this possible? I have always been the one to handle his meals personally, how could he be poisoned?"
Ye Shuang's face was somewhat pale as he said, "Brother, did you make a mistake?"
Ye Yang shook his head and replied, "My True Qi penetrated Second Uncle's Bloodline, and I can sense some black energy surging within the Fire God Bloodline, causing blockages in the blood vessels and leading to illness both inside and out. That is why Second Uncle looks so unwell. This black energy originates from the gastrointestinal tract and has gradually spread; he must have eaten something toxic."
"Brother, can you detoxify him?" Ye Shuang asked anxiously.
Ye Yang smiled and said to Ye Beichi, "Second Uncle, please don't worry. Fortunately, I returned early. With the strength of my True Qi, I have at least an eighty percent chance of completely expelling the poison. Well, it will take me a few days to do so. A month ago, I might have been helpless against such poisoning. Also, thankfully Second Uncle's cultivation is not weak; his True Qi has protected his Heart Vein. Otherwise, if the Heart Vein were damaged, it would be too late."
Ye Beichi smiled broadly, "Ah, having Zi Yu around is truly wonderful..."
...
Yun Xiaoxi approached from behind and respectfully greeted Ye Beichi before saying, "Poison enters through the mouth; Zi Yu should investigate who is trying to harm Second Uncle."
"Yes," Ye Yang nodded and asked Ye Shuang, "Since you are responsible for Second Uncle's meals, has he eaten anything else?"
"No..."
Ye Shuang pondered for a moment before suddenly brightening up: "Oh, I remember now! Father also ate a type of healing and nourishing Ganoderma. His internal injuries from being wounded by Fire Plow had not fully healed. That healing Ganoderma was sent over by Qi Wang Mansion, so we didn't suspect anything and let Father consume it."
"Healing Ganoderma? Qi Wang Mansion?" Ye Yang's expression suddenly turned cold: "Damn it, could it be that Qi King is trying to frame Second Uncle?"
Ye Shuang said, "It's possible. The General's Mansion in Linzi City is directly controlled by Dragon Armored Warriors; they only take orders from you. So Qi King might have grievances. These Ganoderma were sent over a month ago. Strangely enough, after consuming the Ganoderma, Father's health has been deteriorating day by day."
As she spoke, Ye Shuang took a half-decayed piece of Ganoderma from the side that resembled a twisting dragon and said, "Here it is; it's not finished yet. Brother, take a look!"
Ye Yang took the Lingzhi, sniffed it but couldn't detect any scent, and then handed it to Yun Xiaoxi, saying, "Xiaoxi, do you recognize what this is?"
Yun Xiaoxi looked at it for a while and shook her head. "I don't know. Yan Yao, do you recognize it?"
Yan Yao also shook her head. "I've never seen such a strange Lingzhi."
Ye Shuang said, "Miss Lei Xiaodie from the Azure Thunder Merchant Association has a wide knowledge; she might know."
"Okay, I'll be back soon!"
Ye Yang placed a hand on Ye Beichi's shoulder, channeling a vast amount of Starlight Power and True Qi to help Ye Beichi stabilize his Heart Vein, then turned and left, disappearing into the twilight.
...
In the bustling city, the convoy and merchants of the Azure Thunder Merchant Association came and went in an endless stream.
Ye Yang, draped in a red cloak, quietly entered the Guild and found a Guild supervisor. He grabbed the supervisor by the collar and said, "I am Ye Yang. Where is Lei Xiaodie?"
"Ah? Young Master Ye?" The supervisor recognized him and couldn't help but smile. "Miss Lei has been constantly mentioning you. I didn't expect you to come to the Azure Thunder Merchant Association today; it's quite rare!"
Ye Yang smiled. "Where is Lei Xiaodie?"
"She's in the warehouse. I'll take you to find her right away!"
"Alright!"
After passing through more than a dozen Auction Houses, a forest of Rockeries appeared ahead. The Azure Thunder Merchant Association had moved to Linzi, but it was built even more magnificently, exuding the grandeur of a prestigious family estate.
"Young Miss, Young Master Ziyu is here!" the supervisor said with a cheerful smile.
In the crowd, a girl dressed in green turned around gracefully. When she saw Ye Yang, she couldn't help but show a sweet smile: "Zi Yu, you finally decided to come back to Linzi?!"
Ye Yang chuckled and stepped forward: "Lei Xiaodie, long time no see, I've missed you!"
Lei Xiaodie pouted: "Come on, that's so insincere. You didn't even bring me a gift!"
Ye Yang paused for a moment, then quickly took out a Starry Second-Stage Beast Core from his Cosmic Bag and said, "Here, I prepared this for you long ago. This Crystal Core is for you, how about that?"
"Wow?"
Lei Xiaodie opened her mouth wide, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise: "This... this Core with such rich spiritual energy must be from a Starry Sky Beast, right?"
"Yes!"
"Hehe, that's great!" Lei Xiaodie suddenly tilted her head and looked at Ye Yang, saying, "You’re being so nice to me and giving me such a rare Treasure; you must have some ulterior motive, right?"
"Not really. You helped our Fire God Clan sell Weapons and Armor at the Forge, allowing us to earn a lot of money. This is just a small gift to express my gratitude!" As he spoke, Ye Yang quickly pulled out a piece of spiritual mushroom from his pocket and asked, "Lei Xiaodie, do you recognize what this is?"
Lei Xiaodie took it and looked at it for a while. Suddenly her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment: "This... this is the legendary Dragon Horn Ganoderma! I never expected such a thing actually exists..."
"Dragon Horn Ganoderma?"
"Well, growing from the Dragon Lair, generally speaking, the Ancient Dragon Clan will reside in the Dragon Tomb after death, and the land infused with Dragon Soul can produce this kind of Dragon Horn Ganoderma. It is highly toxic; even a Starry Sky Beast could be killed by it. However, the toxicity manifests slowly, taking about half a year to a year before it leads to death. I've only seen this in ancient texts; this is my first time encountering it in reality!"
"A highly toxic ganoderma..." Ye Yang pondered for a moment and said, "This ganoderma was a gift from the Qi King to my Second Uncle. After my Second Uncle consumed it, he indeed fell victim to severe poisoning. That Tian is truly not a good person. Although I plundered Qi Land, I treated him with considerable courtesy. How could he want to harm my Second Uncle!"
Lei Xiaodie was slightly taken aback. "This ganoderma was sent by the Qi King to Ye Beichi, your Second Uncle? That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, Ye Beichi is known for his integrity and is praised by everyone. Under his management, the Fire God Clan has not harmed the surrounding people at all. Moreover, that Qi King is weak and not someone who can achieve great things; he wouldn't dare to harm your Second Uncle. Zi Yu, could you be mistaken? Although this ganoderma was sent by the Qi King, it doesn't necessarily mean he intended to harm your Second Uncle. At least, based on my understanding of Qi Ling Wang, he doesn't have the courage nor would he do such a thing."
"Oh?" Ye Yang stared at the Dragon Horn Ganoderma and said, "Lei Xiaodie, shall we go to the palace together?"
"Sure!"
With that, Lei Xiaodie reached out and linked her arm with Ye Yang's. She knew that Ye Yang was already a Starry Sky Level expert capable of flying.
A whirlwind stirred up around them as Ye Yang lifted off with Lei Xiaodie. In less than three minutes, they descended directly outside the palace.
"My lord!" A Dragon Armored Warrior guarding the entrance knelt on one knee.
Ye Yang nodded and surveyed his surroundings; there were nearly a hundred guards present. The Qi Wang Mansion was indeed heavily fortified. To protect Qi King, this living symbol, Ye Yang had put in considerable effort.
"Bang!"
Kicking open the main door, he heard the sound of laughter and chatter. There lay Qi King with a smile on his face beside a couch while a maid was massaging his legs.
"Tian Fu!" Ye Yang called out in a low voice, his tone carrying pressure.
"Ah..."
Tian Fu suddenly rolled off the couch, scrambling to his feet. He looked at Ye Yang and recognized him, quickly kneeling down and saying, "General Ye Yang, I... I haven't done anything to make you angry, have I?"
Ye Yang abruptly threw the Dragon Horn Ganoderma to the ground and asked, "What is this?"
"This... this is a tribute..."
"What tribute?"
"The tribute sent by the Wei Kingdom envoy..."
"Wei Kingdom envoy?"
"Yes, a general named Peng Yue, said to be the first Divine Weapon of Wei Kingdom!"
"Peng Yue?!"
Ye Yang's eyes filled with killing intent, and in an instant, he understood everything.
