CHAPTER 76: CHAPTER 76: MADMAN? SAINT MASTER!

A constellation of starlight descended, countless points of light coalesced and transformed into the likeness of Han Zhan.

When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the villa of Deep Blue City, but in a crude room.

How crude was it?

A straw mat, mud walls, a broken wooden window, and the only door was riddled with insect holes, through which sunlight streamed in, creating tiny points of light on the walls.

As Han Zhan surveyed the surroundings, he heard hurried footsteps outside, accompanied by angry shouts and frantic yelling.

"Where is that outsider, where is that outsider?!"

"Move aside, everybody move aside."

"He almost cured my daughter to death, I want him to pay with his life!"

Han Zhan was still listening to the gossip, when suddenly, with a loud bang, the only door of his room was kicked out, embedding itself into the adjacent mud wall, deeply wedged within.

Before Han Zhan could react, a tall figure appeared before him, grabbing him by the collar.

Attacked, Han Zhan instinctively reacted, planning to counter with his Tier Four Spirit Contract Master realm and maneuver against the person using Three Urgent Force, but he was met with a shocking reality.

He was completely suppressed!

Indeed, the rough man opposite him, with anger written all over his face, was completely overpowering him!

The opponent moved so fast; Han Zhan was caught before he could even react, wanting to break free, but he was tightly controlled, unable to escape.

How high was this rough man’s realm? Tier Five, Tier Six, or even higher!

Han Zhan didn’t know, he only knew that as soon as he activated Three Urgent Force, he was smacked down to the ground by the opponent.

"With your pathetic skills, you still want to resist, ha, you ignorant outsider!"

"Jiang Huo, calm down, don’t kill him." Someone advised nearby, but Han Zhan could no longer make out the words.

After being slapped unconscious by Jiang Huo, when he woke up again, he was already in jail.

One day later,

Han Zhan managed to understand from the meal delivery young man the reason he was captured and imprisoned.

As it turned out, he was transported to this world by the Bodhi Treasure Tree, a world familiar in historical legends but with slight differences.

For instance, ancient people who were supposed to be weak suddenly became stronger than him, beings capable of killing him effortlessly.

Also, the peculiar "illness."

Outsider Han Zhan claimed he could cure illnesses but ended up causing trouble, prompting the father of the little girl, Jiang Huo, to imprison him here.

This was the initial "setting" of entering the "Hundred Herbs Sacred Heart" Fruit World.

After figuring all this out, Han Zhan gradually understood what he needed to do.

Since it was a world related to the Shennong Cauldron, it naturally involved curing illnesses.

On this day, the relatively kind and talkative meal delivery young man appeared again in the jail, bringing meals, and just as he was about to leave, Han Zhan suddenly grabbed him.

Feeling his arm being suddenly seized from behind, the meal delivery young man quickly turned around,

performing a deft move, countering hold, then pressed his other hand against Han Zhan’s chest.

Han Zhan felt like he was hit by a Tier Nine Insect Race; he spewed a mouthful of blood and flew backward, slamming against the wall.

"Sor... sorry, I... I didn’t do it on purpose." The meal delivery young man apologized frantically upon seeing the scene.

"I didn’t expect you to be so weak, unable to withstand a single blow; I’m really sorry!"

Seeing the genuine expression of the meal delivery young man, Han Zhan’s mouth twitched slightly.

Unable to withstand a single blow? He was a Tier Four Spirit Contract Master, possessing Celestial Serpent Body talent, protected by Three Urgent out of Eight Urgencies.

Even against a Tier Six Insect Race, they might not break his defense.

Yet, unintentionally, he was "lightly punched" by a meal delivery young man from the Jiang Clan and was sent flying, crashing against the wall spewing blood.

Is this reasonable?!

Han Zhan didn’t have time to ponder it, quickly seized the moment before the young man left, endured the pain and spoke.

"Don’t leave, please don’t leave! I have a way to cure that little girl! Really, trust me!" Han Zhan spoke earnestly.

Hearing his words, the meal delivery young man looked at him with sympathetic eyes.

"You’re an outsider, and you have the audacity to say you can cure illnesses? Haha, cure illnesses?"

The young man suddenly laughed nervously, his gaze turned peculiarly towards Han Zhan.

What’s wrong with curing illnesses? Why is this funny? Hey, you’re staring at me like that, it’s creepy. Han Zhan complained internally while quickly reaffirming, "Yes, cure illnesses!"

"Earlier, I used the wrong medicinal herbs; can you convey a message to Jiang Huo asking him to give me another chance?"

"This time, I can guarantee at least saving her life!"

With the Shennong Cauldron’s [Creation of Living Beings] talent, he was confident.

Hearing Han Zhan’s words, seeing his resolute expression, the meal delivery young man stopped mocking, his gaze turned cold.

"If you stay here, wait for thirty days, you can freely leave. If you insist on confronting Jiang Huo, his temper is explosive; if you fail to save his daughter this time, you will die."

"Have you thought it through?"

The young man’s words seemed more like a "prompt."

This prompted Han Zhan’s mind to quickly think of a possibility.

This was the "Hundred Herbs Sacred Heart" World Fruit’s prompt, indicating that if he obediently waited for thirty days, he could return to reality.

If he chose to meet Jiang Huo, he would face possible death.

Facing this "confirmation" inquiry, Han Zhan didn’t hesitate, firmly nodded.

Since he was here, if he didn’t unravel the "Hundred Herbs Sacred Heart" secrets and merely wasted thirty days, who knows how long the external world would pass; Han Zhan could not afford to wait.

Seeing Han Zhan nod, the young man stopped urging.

His gaze returned to the initial honesty and simplicity, first apologizing to Han Zhan, then promising, "Rest assured, I will convey your message to Jiang Huo. As for whether he’ll come, I cannot guarantee."

After the meal delivery young man left, Han Zhan began to wait.

No one came that day.

The next day, Han Zhan heard a familiar voice, Jiang Huo came in cursing from outside the jail.

"I know, I know, stop nagging behind me!"

"I’ll give that lunatic one more chance. If he can wake Xiao Yue, I’ll explain to the clan leader and release him!"

Jiang Huo, persuaded by the meal delivery young man overnight, eventually agreed, entering the jail.

With a clatter.

The cell door confining Han Zhan was opened.

"Let’s go, Saint Master?"
