The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 361

Chapter 361: 347 Ancestor, One Face-Slapping Skill Every Day [3 Updates]

The voice wasn’t loud, very faint and light, yet it possessed a power that could shake the heart.

Ling Dan and Ling Shuang’s expressions both involuntarily changed, and they stopped in their tracks.

The two of them even felt a kind of oppressive force, their nerves tensing up in an instant.

The three elders abruptly stood up and turned their heads.

It was a woman in her thirties, dressed very simply.

Her appearance had nothing special, ordinary, but one could sense her extraordinariness.

Upon seeing the woman, the Third Elder’s sleepiness completely vanished.

He adjusted his hat and “thud,” knelt down at once.

The Great Elder and the Second Elder widened their eyes and hurriedly followed suit, kneeling down.

All three old men were very reverent.

“Paying respects to the Ancestor.”

As soon as this title was uttered, Ling Dan and Ling Shuang were instantly shocked.

This young woman was the Ancestor of the Foo Family?

No, that’s not the main point, powerful practitioners of Ancient Medicine could keep their appearance youthful forever.

The main point was, the Ancestor of the Foo Family was actually making an appearance?

Despite the current head of the Ling Family being Ling Zhonglou, in reality, several previous heads were still alive.

It’s just that upon reaching a certain age, they would abdicate and retire.

Ling Dan and Ling Shuang were masters among Ling Zhonglou’s generation, but naturally, they couldn’t compare with ancient martial artists who had trained for over a hundred years.

Those true masters in the Ancient Martial World usually kept to themselves in seclusion.

Even members of their own clans found it difficult to see them.

Let alone the Ancestor.

In both Ancient Medicine and Ancient Martial Arts, each family typically only had one living Ancestor, the highest generation still alive within the family.

After this Ancestor passed away, the first in the next generation would be able to take this title.

Ling Dan and Ling Shuang had also never seen the current Ancestor of the Ling Family, nor did they know who it was.

They had only seen the portraits of the past heads of the Ling Family in the ancestral hall and would go to offer incense.

According to Ling Dan and Ling Shuang’s guess, if possible, the current Ancestor of the Ling Family was likely the one who founded the Ling household.

Ancient martial arts appeared in the late 16th century, while the Ling Family’s history wasn’t that long but was still over three hundred years.

Ancient Medicine appeared later than ancient martial arts, in the late 18th century.

“It’s not ancient times anymore, no need for such formalities,” the woman coughed and raised her hand, signaling the three elders to rise, “I am Foo Xi, don’t be afraid, I have something I want to ask you.”

The remark was directed at Ling Dan and Ling Shuang.

Yet Ling Dan and Ling Shuang were still very nervous.

Who knew how many generations older this Foo Xi was than them?

“I heard that your young master’s inner strength turmoil has been completely settled,” Foo Xi nodded slightly, “I’m wondering who helped with the treatment?”

Ling Dan and Ling Shuang immediately became alert.

Jiang Ran’s recovery was something that couldn’t be concealed.

Ling Zhonglou was the head of the Ling Family, but Jiang Huaping was an ordinary person; all the major clans were watching her, and Jiang Ran was a thorn in the eyes of many.

A short while ago, the Ancient Martial World was too chaotic, so Ling Zhonglou had no choice but to send Jiang Ran to Shanghai City to take refuge.

The Ling Family didn’t have marital ties with the Foo Family; their alliance was with another Ancient Medicine Family.

But even within allies, nothing was eternal.

What was Foo Xi trying to do by asking this?

“Sorry, senior,” Ling Shuang and Ling Dan exchanged glances, then spoke in unison, “Someone did save the young master, but we’re not aware of who it was. The head of the family guesses it was a Hidden World Divine Doctor.”

This statement was, in fact, true.

Ling Zhonglou indeed didn’t know who had saved Jiang Ran.

But whoever had completely cured Jiang Ran’s condition definitely wasn’t just an ordinary doctor.

Foo Xi fell silent for a moment: “I see.”

With her not speaking, no one else dared to move.

“This is a pill I refined,” after a long spell of silence, Foo Xi took out a box, “It extends life by eighty years and can also preserve youth.”

Ling Dan and Ling Shuang couldn’t help but be astonished.

The three elders were also surprised.

Such a pill, even for Foo Xi, would require a great deal of energy.

Ancient Medics often had short lifespans because they used their own life force to refine medicine.

Medicines for extending life were very demanding, diminishing their own lifespan.

So to this day, in the Ancient Martial World, only a Beautifying Pill that only females could use to extend lifespan had been developed.

Moreover, one must be able to withstand the impact of the medicine’s power.

This required the protection of a powerful ancient martial artist nearby to help the user regulate their acupoints.

Moreso, like Alchemy which alters the body to slow down the pace of cellular aging, there was also an age limit.

Beyond fifty years old, there was simply no way.

“Take it,” Foo Xi smiled, “Consider it a gift for our meeting.”
