Reincarnation - The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad

Chapter 1009: Cao Yuhuan's Guess



Looking at the Dragon Spiritual Spring that was as big as a small artificial lake in front of him, he could not help being worried.

Obviously, it was unrealistic for him to absorb the Spiritual Qi here. A master at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm was on guard here. He was afraid that this master would soon notice that there was something wrong with this place.

“Looks like I can only try this!”

On the way here, he had already thought about whether he could put the spiritual water of the Dragon Spiritual Spring into the Seven Storeys Pagoda. If he succeeded, he could take the spiritual water away and use it to cultivate in the future.

After making up his mind, he focused on the spiritual water of the Dragon Spiritual Spring in front of him with his Spirit and collected it into the Seven Storeys Pagoda.

As there was too much spiritual water in front of him, he did not know if he could succeed.

After it started to collect, the spiritual water in the pool began reducing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Niu Cuihua and He Ziwei were resting when they suddenly saw a clear waterfall gush in from the outside, constantly pouring into the Seven Storeys Pagoda. For a moment, the entire pagoda was filled with rich Spiritual Qi.

Qin Haodong was overjoyed. Although he couldn’t collect all the spiritual water right off, the speed of collecting was much faster than that of his absorption.

According to the current speed, it would probably only take two or three minutes to collect 90% of the spiritual water.

Sitting beside the Dragon Spiritual Spring, Zhou Kun slowly sipped his tea.

The tea leaves were picked next to the Dragon Spiritual Spring and were nourished by rich Spiritual Qi all year round. After taking a sip of the tea, he felt warm all over.

Right at this moment, his expression changed slightly. As a master at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm, he keenly felt that the concentration of the surrounding Spiritual Qi had decreased a lot.

“Looks like they have improved quickly.”

With this thought in mind, he poured out another cup of tea.

After just two or three minutes, he realized that something was wrong. The concentration of the surrounding Spiritual Qi began to decrease sharply, at an even faster rate than before.

“What’s going on? Even if I cultivate in the pool, I won’t be able to absorb it so quickly.”

“Oh, no! Something bad is happening!”

The news of the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring being drained had spread throughout the entire Lingwu Continent. Each kingdom had strengthened the protection of its own spiritual spring because of this news and he had been sent here to guard the spiritual spring.

Thinking of this, he immediately put down the teacup and flashed to the sky above the Dragon Spiritual Spring.

After arriving there, he was shocked and almost fell from the air because of his mental fluctuations.

The Dragon Spiritual Spring was originally as big as a lake. However, its spiritual water was now less than one foot deep. Li Zhen and Li Mengyao had not been cultivating. They were lying on the ground and were unconscious.

“What could have happened?”

Zhou Kun nearly went berserk. It had only been five minutes since he left. How could there be such a big change in the Dragon Spiritual Spring?

“Where did all the spiritual water go? It can’t just vanish like that, can it?”

However, there was no one around and only a small amount of spiritual water was left. He couldn’t understand what was going on.

After his initial shock, he immediately took out a whistling arrow and shot it into the sky. Then, he shouted to alert the surrounding guards.

Upon hearing his shout and seeing the light of the whistling arrow, countless figures immediately appeared around the Dragon Spiritual Spring and rushed over.

“General, what happened?”

After the guards came to the side of the spiritual spring and saw that there was not much spiritual water left, they were shocked. This was simply unimaginable. How could so much of the spiritual water be lost?

Zhou Kun snapped, “Block the whole Dragon Spiritual Spring. No one is allowed to come in or out. Then, search carefully. Find out everything that doesn’t belong here. Even if it is an ant, you still have to catch it.”

“Yes, General!” the guards answered and immediately began to take action.

None of them could absolve themselves from the blame for such a big incident in the Dragon Spiritual Spring.

At this time, Qin Haodong was already outside the Dragon Spiritual Spring. Looking at the light of the whistling arrow in the sky, he couldn’t help but sneer. Then, his figure disappeared in the night sky.

After everything was done, Zhou Kun woke Li Zhen and Li Mengyao up and asked, “Your Highnesses, what happened? Who knocked you out?”

“I don’t know either. When I had just started cultivating, I suddenly lost consciousness.”

After that, Li Zhen saw the current Dragon Spiritual Spring in front of him and turned pale with surprise. He jumped up and shouted, “What happened? Where’s the spiritual water?”

Zhou Kun said regretfully, “I don’t know either. It had been less than 5 minutes since you entered this place. I felt that the Spiritual Qi had decreased sharply, so I came here to check. It was like this when I came over.

“Damn it! So much spiritual water suddenly disappeared!”

Li Mengyao also regained consciousness and cried, “Someone must have done it. The spiritual water of the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring was also drained in this way.”

Zhou Kun said, “I know that there must be someone hiding in the dark, but I don’t understand how he managed to take the spiritual water away. Could all the lost spiritual water have been absorbed by him?

“That’s impossible. Even an immortal can’t absorb it so speedily.”

Li Zhen and Li Mengyao were also confused. They had used all their wits and could not figure out how the spiritual water of the Dragon Spiritual Spring had disappeared.

Right at this moment, the entire Dragon City burst into an uproar.

When Li Guangyao was about to sleep with Cao Yuhuan, he suddenly received the news about the Dragon Spiritual Spring. His face turned pale with fright.

He knew about the theft of the spiritual water from the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring. Knowing that the situation was urgent, he immediately disappeared from the room and rushed toward the Dragon Spiritual Spring as fast as he could.

Behind him, countless masters rose from the Dragon City and rushed toward the Dragon Spiritual Spring.

When Li Guangyao arrived above the Dragon Spiritual Spring and saw that the pool was almost emptied, he shouted angrily, “Zhou Kun, tell me. What was going on?”

“Your Majesty, I deserve to die!”

Zhou Kun hurried over to Li Guangyao and told him what had happened.

Li Guangyao said angrily, “It took less than 5 minutes for the spiritual water of my Dragon Spiritual Spring to be drained?”

Zhou Kun said, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Li Guangyao asked, “Did you find out who did it?”

Zhou Kun lowered his head and said, “Your Majesty, our men have searched the entire Dragon Spiritual Spring. It can be said that they have dug three feet underground, but they didn’t find any suspects.”

“Bastard. Don’t tell me that my spiritual water grew wings and flew away by itself?”

Li Guangyao was furious. His powerful momentum made the people around him tremble. No one dared to make a sound.

“Don’t be angry, Your Majesty. I have a guess.”

With that, Cao Yuhuan appeared behind Li Guangyao.

Li Guangyao waved his hand and dismissed the people around him, leaving only a few core members behind. He then asked, “Do you know who did it?”

“Although I don’t know, I can make a guess.”

Li Guangyao said, “Tell me whom you are suspicious of?”

Cao Yuhuan said, “Your Majesty, I can offer you a few references.

“First, why didn’t something happen to the Dragon Spiritual Spring before, and why did something bad happen to it after the first prince and the second princess came back?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Zhen said discontentedly, “Mother, do you think I did it?”

Although he was the first prince, he wasn’t Cao Yuhuan’s biological son. The two appeared seemingly friendly with each other but their relationship was not harmonious.

“Listen to me. I am not done talking.” Cao Yuhuan continued, “Thus, the timing is a doubtful factor. In addition, I guess the thief’s cultivation must be at least at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm because he could steal so much spiritual water from the Dragon Spiritual Spring so quietly and rapidly.

“If these two points are combined, it will be easy to guess who the person is. He must have followed the first prince to our Dragon City and has very high cultivation.”

Li Mengyao’s expression changed when she heard this. “You’re saying Brother Tang did it?”

Li Guangyao’s expression also changed. Several people’s eyes were fixed on Cao Yuhuan.

“Just a guess. For so many years, nothing has happened to the Dragon Spiritual Spring, but something bad happened to it after Tang Long arrived here.

“He is at the early stage of Grand Completion Realm, and the woman beside him is at the late stage of Grand Completion Realm. Needless to say, they are the prime suspects.”

“But it’s impossible for Brother Tang to do such a thing. Even if he wants to do it, he can’t steal so much spiritual water all at once.”

In so many years, Li Mengyao had fallen in love with a man for the first time, so she didn’t believe the thief was Tang Long from the bottom of her heart.

Li Guangyao said, “The queen is right. Tang Long is the primary suspect in this matter. We’ll know the answer after checking.”

After that, he arranged for Zhou Kun and the others to continue guarding this place. Then, he led the other masters and hurriedly returned to Dragon City.

Qin Haodong returned to the courier station in the Dragon City and removed the Phantom Magic Field. Then, he summoned Niu Cuihua and He Ziwei out of the Seven Storeys Pagoda.

Niu Cuihua cried excitedly, “Hubby, you are amazing. You are actually able to put the spiritual water from the Dragon Spiritual Spring into the Seven Storeys Pagoda. How did you think of it?”

Qin Haodong said, “Don’t talk about this now. Let’s hurry up and get ready. I think the people of the Dragon Kingdom will be here soon.”

He Ziwei said, “You mean the people of the Dragon Royal Family suspect us?”

Qin Haodong nodded and said, “Of course. After all, they don’t know our background. The incident at the Dragon Spiritual Spring just happened after we came to Dragon City. We are bound to arouse their suspicion.”

He Ziwei said nervously, “Then, what should we do? Since we’ve already got the Dragon Spiritual Spring, why don’t we leave this place?”

Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “It would be unwise for us to leave now. The Medicine God Valley is about to open. If we leave now, it will inevitably arouse the suspicions of the Dragon Royal Family. At that time, it will be difficult for us to enter the Medicine God Valley.”

He Ziwei said, “But then what should we do if the Dragon Royal Family makes a move against us?”

“Right now, they should only be speculating. The spiritual water is hidden within the Seven Storeys Pagoda, which will not be found by them. If they cannot obtain any evidence, they will not act so easily against us. That is because we are masters at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm.”

Qin Haodong said, “Besides, we can attack and defend now. Cuihua’s cultivation is now at the late stage of the Grand Completion Realm. Even if we can’t defeat the people of the Dragon Kingdom, we can still run out.

“In addition, we have a life-saving trump card, the Seven Storeys Pagoda. At worst, we can hide in the pagoda in the end.”

Upon hearing his words, He Ziwei calmed down considerably.

“Well, all we have to do now is go to bed,” Qin Haodong said and pulled the two women to lie down on the big bed.
