Chapter 1

Longford Kingdom, in a deep mountain forest in the north.

“Chief, I’m back. Tonight’s dinner is hare meat.”

In the deep mountain forest, there were several wooden houses.

A teenager who looked sixteen or seventeen years old named Seth Yeager held onto several plump hares and leaped vigorously on the uneven rocks to reach the front of a wooden house.

Seth had lived with Chief since he was a child, practicing martial arts, collecting herbs, learning medicine, and reading.

Creak.

Seth pushed the door open, and his face changed dramatically in the next second.

He threw the hares in his hands away.

On the futon was an elderly person sitting cross-legged, head drooped, and seemingly breathless.

“Chief, Chief! What’s wrong?!”

Seth was shocked.

He first checked Chief’s wrist and found that there was no pulse.

Seth quickly took out a silver needle and tried to do dry needling on Chief.

‘It didn’t work!’

He tried to pass his own energy over, but it was still useless.

A strong feeling of sadness welled up in his heart.

He had lived with Chief since he was a child, and he found it difficult to accept this sudden bad news.

At this time, he found a note next to him.

He picked it up and read it.

[My dear apprentice, A few days ago, I had a feeling that my time was coming to an end. After I die, there are several things I want you to do.

[First, I saved the chairman of Herman Corp many years ago, and he had given me a 5% share in his company. Last year, I transferred them to your name. After you leave the mountain, go and look for him.

[Second, I had run a thorough investigation on ‘King Pearl’ and found out who possesses it at the moment.

[It’s with a rich merchant’s daughter named Alaska Lowle in Jonesville.

[She’s now a freshman at Jonesville, and I have arranged for you to enroll in her university. You can go and register before the 8th.

[Remember to get your hands on the King Pearl. Only by obtaining it can you break through that barrier and become the Medicine King.

[Third, do not bury me after I leave. Just burn everything to the ground.]

“Chief, I’ll definitely fulfill your wishes!”

Seth bowed his head to Chief three times and turned to leave.

He set a big fire and burned down several of the wooden houses.

In the fire, the “dead” Chief suddenly opened his eyes.

He reached out and pulled off a human skin mask, revealing an unprecedentedly beautiful face.

The woman looked so noble and unsullied!

She had bright and shining starry eyes that could make people fall in love with her at first sight.

An invisible force surrounded her body, preventing the fire from getting closer.

From afar and with a hint of reluctance in her eyes, she looked in the direction that Seth had gone. “The young one has now dived into the sea. I hope you grow up quickly, or else when disaster strikes, no one will be able to escape…”

…

An hour later, Seth came down from the mountain.

He was wearing a pair of washed-out jeans and a T-shirt, canvas shoes on his feet.

He was also carrying a cloth bag with some dry food and medical supplies inside.

“Hmm?”

An expensive-looking car was parked in front of him.

There were two strong men with short sticks in their hands, looking nervous.

In front of them was a wild beast over two meters long.

The beast had a donkey’s head, a wolf’s body, and a ferocious look in its eyes.

Even though the two burly men were skilled, they were extremely frightened at the moment.

The fierce aura emanating from the beast made them shudder.

However, they could not retreat as their boss was behind them.

“D*mn it, what bad luck! Why did the fuel tank have to break down right now?!”

“If something happens to the boss, we’re done for!”

The man in the car had tremendous influence, and if something happened to him, God knows how big of a storm it would cause.

“Gramps, you have to hold on!”

Inside the car, Sage Summer anxiously watched over her grandfather.

They were initially planning to take a break today, and Sage planned on having her grandfather keep her company.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly fell ill.

Then, the fuel tank started leaking, and a wild beast emerged in front of them.

This made Sage feel endless despair.

Roar!

Outside the car, the wild beast let out a roar, making Sage’s heart tremble.

Immediately after, screams were heard.

The two strong men were knocked down to the ground.

The beast’s cold teeth shimmered with terrifying luster.

“What do we do, what do we do?” Sage was so anxious that tears flowed down her face.

Just when she was completely at a loss, she suddenly saw a dark shadow flash outside the car window.

Then, she heard the wild beast’s shriek

Sage quickly looked ahead.

That was when she saw a scene that she would never forget her entire life.

The wild beast with a ferocious appearance, and a body the size of a tiger, was actually sent flying by a young man!

Seth waved his fist and snorted, “A donkey-headed wolf, huh? That’s rare.”

Roar!

Blood flowed from the corner of the donkey-headed wolf’s mouth. It crouched down, its eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light, constantly changing its position.

It was very frightened of the man in front of it!

Seth stamped his right foot on the ground, and several stones bounced up, which he caught and threw as weapons.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…!

The stones flew through the air.

The donkey-headed wolf was too large to dodge the attack.

The force of each stone was terrible and made the beast scream loudly.

In the end, it turned and ran away.

Seth looked at the two strong men’s injuries.

He looked around and picked some small horseweeds from the roadside, crushed them, and then applied them to the wounds of the two men.

Horseweeds looked like wild daisies and had very good hemostatic and pain-relieving effects.

“Thank you, young man!

“Are you a doctor, young man?”

Seth nodded slightly. “I know a thing or two about medicine.”

The two were overjoyed.

“Please save our chairman!

“He’s in the car right now.”

Seth nodded and walked to the side of the car, opening up the door.

Sage looked over at Seth, who appeared like a wild man, and instinctively shrank back.

“What are you doing?”

Seth looked at the old man. “I’m here to save him.”

Sage immediately refused. “No way! You’re just a random wild man. How can you save my grandfather? Don’t make it worse for him!”

Even though Seth had just saved her, she was not very grateful about it.

Nonetheless, her grandfather had been suffering from this disease for many years, and even many famous doctors in the country were helpless.

How can a little wild man like him have the ability to help her grandfather?

Seth explained, “I used to travel around with Chief and practice medicine.

“My medical skills are pretty good, and I’ve never killed anyone so far.”

Sage asked, “Do you have a medical license?”

Seth shook his head. “No.”

Sage was angry. “No? A self-proclaimed doctor who dares to treat my grandfather? Get lost!”

Seth frowned.

He had a bad temper and was a little tyrant in the mountains.

If it were not for Chief constantly urging him not to hit women, he would have slapped her across the face.

Suppressing his anger, Seth said coldly, “Whatever. Then you can watch your grandfather die.”

He turned around and wanted to leave.

“Young...man...please...help me…”

The old man spoke up with difficulty.

Sage was shocked. “Grandfather, he’s just some random wild man. How can he save you?

“What if he makes it worse?”

“It’s...okay...I believe...in this young man’s...medical skills…I’ll…leave it up to you…now.”

Seth nodded slightly.

Well, Chief often said that saving one life was the most important thing above all else.

Hence, Seth went into the car.

Nonetheless, Sage pounced on him, waving her hands around. “You stinky wild man, get out of here!”
