Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 265 Traveling with a Beauty
On the ship, Fang Yu took out the demon's gall bladder, which was called the Sea Demon's Gallbladder, and used his mind to imprison it in his palm.

Looking at the transparent demon gall, Mu Ningxue's exquisite face showed a hint of curiosity as she asked, "Is this the Curse of Evil?"

“Yes, the demon gall of the Sword-Called Sea Monster is the Curse, from which vaccine tissue can be extracted,” Fang Yu explained.

Mu Ningxue asked Fang Yu a series of questions seriously...

"The evil maggot has two forms. The first form is the evil maggot embryo, which grows by frantically absorbing energy from weak organisms. After it matures, it manipulates the host's mind to force them to go to the water area, instantly draining the host's body. After that, the evil maggot will return to the sea."

"In the second stage, after entering the ocean, they will seek out stronger demons to parasitize. Once they successfully parasitize a demon, they will slowly take over its nest, devour the host, and evolve into the host themselves," Fang Yu explained.

Mu Ningxue listened intently, but her expression gradually froze: "What a terrifying life form! Under normal circumstances, it's impossible to defend against. Isn't this just too chilling?"

"The world is vast and full of wonders. After extracting the vaccine, we can say that the matter of the Drowning Curse has been resolved. It's just that we don't know if the Cursed Clan will mutate again many years later and evolve into an even more terrifying parasitic demon that can bypass the protection of the vaccine we found this time," Fang Yu sighed.

Fang Yu's words also made Mu Ningxue fall into deep thought.

Seeing Mu Ningxue's state, Fang Yu pulled her into his arms, leaned down and kissed her cheek, and said gently, "Don't think about it. There's no need to worry too much about some things. I'll take you back to rest later, and leave the rest to me."

“Okay,” Mu Ningxue said.

After returning home, Fang Yu took Mu Ningxue back to her hotel and then went to Bobby's place...

Fang Yu handed the demon's gall bladder, which was said to be from a sea monster, to Lingling so she could extract the vaccine. He then explained the situation to the two of them.

"Damn, so you've solved the drowning curse problem," Mo Fan said excitedly.

“Yes, but your mission must continue. I will still have a use for this cursed creature in Lingling’s hands after it grows up,” Fang Yu replied.

"Why? Wasn't it already resolved?" Mo Fan asked, puzzled.

"You don't mean you're planning to train him, do you?" Lingling guessed immediately.

“Yes, they were tamed using mind magic, reaching the ‘five-star level’ where they could be used by humans, and then trained as beasts,” Fang Yu said.

"You really have a unique way of thinking. If you succeed, it's like having a high-level demon beast directly." Lingling said with some surprise.

"Holy crap, this works too." Mo Fan's mouth dropped open in astonishment.

“There’s still a challenge. It’s not at a high enough level yet. The Commander level isn’t my goal,” Fang Yu explained.

"As a gathering place for insect-like demons, I wonder if there are any cultivation programs in the Demon Capital. It seems I should inform Dean Xiao in advance," Fang Yu thought to himself.

……

Afterwards, Lingling also extracted the vaccine from the demon gall. Fang Yu attributed the title to the Azure Sky Hunter and became a low-key person. It is not appropriate for a high-level person to focus too much attention.

Those veteran hunter masters are probably still analyzing the Drowning Curse incident, only to have it solved by a young man in his twenties. Where do they put their old faces now?

The Qingtian Hunting Agency already has a great reputation in China, so attributing such a major event to them is not a big problem.

When the reward was received, the bounty had reached a staggering 370 million. As for the funds in the bounty pool, Fang Yu divided them equally among those who had tracked down the curse, using it as compensation.

Mo Fan was significantly weakened compared to the original timeline due to the absence of Yan Ji, and was simply not enough to deal with the Wu Hai pseudo-dragon, so Mu Ningxue had to stay behind to assist him.

……

Fang Yu needed to return to China for some business, so he went back to Shanghai that same day...

Fang Yu went straight to Mingzhu Academy and headed to Dean Xiao's office. As soon as he entered, Fang Yu respectfully greeted, "Good morning, Dean."

On the desk, Dean Xiao looked at Fang Yu gently and praised him, "You've come. I didn't expect you to be able to crack the secret of the evil curse. Well done."

"It was just a coincidence. The area around Tinoaia is quite densely populated with curses," Fang Yu replied.

"Dean Xiao, is there any intelligence from the Demon Capital?" Fang Yu continued to ask.

Dean Xiao adjusted his glasses and said, "Not yet. Didn't you say you had another mature Curse? Give it to me when it's ready, and I'll send someone to deliver it."

“Okay, there’s one more thing,” Fang Yu said.

"What's the matter?" Dean Xiao asked, puzzled.

"It's a personal matter. I need to go to Dunhuang and I need Ding Yumin's assistance," Fang Yu said.

He plans to take this opportunity to strengthen Little Flame Princess.

In the original timeline, Mo Fan went to the Taklamakan Desert in the Tarim Basin to obtain the 'Flame of Blazing Clouds', but that area was home to a top-tier demon tribe with over a million demons. Without a route, it was impossible to enter. This matter could only be put on the agenda after the Nationalist government struggle.

Fang Yu plans to go to Dunhuang this time to see if there are any clues about the Flame Witch.

Dean Xiao pondered for a moment and replied, "Ding Yumin has broken through to the advanced level of magician and adapted to her special abilities. It's good for her to go out and travel. These past years have been tough on her."

……

Pearl University Lakeside...

Fang Yu gazed at the calm, still lake before him, its surface reflecting the clouds like a mirror.

A moment later, Fang Yu heard footsteps approaching. He turned around and saw a graceful figure walking towards him. It was Ding Yumin.

As they approached, Ding Yumin's gentle voice rang out: "It's quite a distance from here, we're late."

"I just arrived too," Fang Yu said.

Looking at Ding Yumin in front of him, she was dressed in a white dress, standing tall and graceful like a bright and beautiful white lotus, pure and flawless yet charming and graceful. Her hair, which was piled high and hung down to her chest, was so eye-catching.

"Is there something that made you come back specifically to see me?" Ding Yumin asked, puzzled.

"I need your help to accompany me to the North Corner of Zhuoyuan," Fang Yu explained.

Ding Yumin paused slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Fang Yu, and after a moment's hesitation, she asked, "May I?"

Fang Yu smiled and said calmly, "You don't need to be afraid. At your advanced level, you can already use your special talents. Be confident. Besides, I'm here for you."

Ding Yumin nodded slightly upon hearing this.

The two acted swiftly and decisively, booking their plane tickets and preparing to head to Dunhuang.

On the plane, Ding Yumin was holding Xiao Yanji, pinching her chubby little face, gazing at the scenery outside the window, and letting out a melodious laugh as beautiful as a mountain wind chime. Clearly, everything outside was so new and exciting to her.

Hearing Ding Yumin's laughter, Fang Yu sighed, perhaps experiencing a scene so different from Shanghai was something she longed for...
