Chapter 76

Upon hearing Ji Yuebai’s inquiry, the Rabbit Demon High Priest hurriedly replied in a pleasing manner, “Yes, we have summoned the shaman, who has been waiting for your arrival.”

While nodding and bowing, it sent other rabbit demons to bring forth the shaman.

In both the human and demon realms, the profession of a healer is highly revered.

Xu Nian curiously watched as several rabbit demons escorted the shaman. To her surprise, the shaman was a ninth-rank capybara, and more importantly, it had not undergone the frightful mutations like the rabbit demons. It was just somewhat larger than an average capybara, but apart from that, it looked normal.

The Rabbit Demon High Priest glanced at Ji Yuebai, then said to the Capybara Shaman, “This esteemed person wishes to consult you for a health check.”

Ji Yuebai looked at Xu Nian and clarified, “Not for me, it’s for her.”

The High Priest’s six eyes looked confusedly at Xu Nian. The idea of the Qingxuan King Snake seeking medical advice through a rabbit demon for a capybara was certainly unusual.

The Capybara Shaman, calm and composed, approached Xu Nian and placed its furry paw on her hand, mimicking the motion of checking her pulse, “May I know what discomforts you are experiencing?”

Taking comfort from the shaman’s composed demeanor, Xu Nian felt her panic subside. After thinking briefly, she started to share her experience, saying, “It seems like I’m having hallucinations. Specifically, it goes like this…”

After listening to Xu Nian’s symptoms, the Capybara Shaman nodded and emitted several gentle waves of spiritual energy around her, explaining, “This is a preliminary physical examination.”

This method of investigation resembled modern Western medical techniques, probably to see if there were any tumors or blood clots affecting her brain.

Before coming here, Xu Nian and Ji Yuebai had agreed not to disclose anything about the Seven Passages Exquisite Lock or the demonic cultivator’s legacy.

After all, based on the experience of human cultivators, many inheritances from ascended beings come with risks and dangers. Numerous cultivators have lost their lives over them, causing countless bloody conflicts in the cultivation world.

The inheritance of a powerful demonic cultivator would likely be similarly coveted among demons. If word got out, it could lead to envy and conflict, possibly endangering Xu Nian’s life.

Seeking the shaman’s counsel was also about being cautious. After all, Ji Yuebai’s theory about the demonic cultivator’s legacy and the source of the illusion were just that – theories. The Eastern Sea Secret Realm was rarely visited by human cultivators, and many things here could not be inferred using common cultivation world logic. For Xu Nian’s safety, it was prudent to seek a knowledgeable opinion.

Since Xu Nian was a demon beast, and the shaman specialized in treating demon beasts, it was a professional match.

Observing the Capybara Shaman’s fluffy paw and shimmering golden fur, Xu Nian felt an urge to pet it, but the lingering fear from her encounter third rabbit brother held her back. She worried that this seemingly gentle and adorable appearance might also be a product of her mind’s hallucinations, so she hesitated to reach out.

Turning to Ji Yuebai, she tugged at her sleeve and asked with uncertainty, “Is it… really a capybara?”

Ji Yuebai examined the capybara intently for a while before responding to Xu Nian, “Yes, it’s no different from a normal capybara in the cultivation world.”
