Although Juey hadn't been to the Beast Master Contest before, she knew that the contest was one of the most renowned ceremonies in the whole Timber Deity Empire, even the emperor would take his time off to watch it. Thus, the contest held a huge influence over the empire.
The ones who had the strength and guts to participate in the Beast Master Contest were the elite Beast Masters from the major clans of the Timber Deity Empire. They were the disciples of the most famous Beast Masters in the whole empire. There was no doubt that they had tremendous skill in this aspect.
So naturally, Juey was utterly confused about why Lucas would recommend Rocky to take part in this prestigious, highly-skilled contest.
"Rookie, I think Miss Queenie is behind the idea why Master Lucas recommended you to take part in the Beast Master Contest. This is her way of taking revenge on you. If that's the case, you can't go to the Cao Clan's residence. Otherwise, she won't let you go," Juey said worriedly.
"There must be another reason why Master Lucas recommended me," Rocky said. Although Rocky only met Lucas once, he could tell that he was a man of principles and morality. He would never endanger Rocky just to help Queenie take revenge on him. The reason why Lucas recommended Rocky was that he had seen through Rocky and known he was a powerful man. After all, Lucas was a master at the Divine Stage and a powerful beast evaluator of the Timber Deity Empire. He had the skills to know how powerful Rocky truly was. Moreover, Rocky had saved Queenie in the dense forest. Lucas was also able to speculate that from his experience.
Therefore, Rocky did not worry about Lucas' intention, but Queenie should have known that Lucas recommended him. If Rocky went to the Cao Clan's residence, she would surely not let him go.
Rocky couldn't help but smile at the thought of this.
"Rookie, what are you laughing at?" Juey asked in confusion.
"Nothing. I was just thinking about something interesting. Don't worry about me. I'm not going there an
learn. I know about medicinal herbs and flowers used to treat spirit-manipulated beasts and refine pills more than anyone in the Xiao Clan. But I don't have the talent to learn the Beast Curing Skill of my clan. You should have seen it. My sister has performed it before. If I want to become a real beast curer, I must be able to learn the Beast Curing Skill..."
"What's the Beast Curing Skill of the Xiao Clan called?" Rocky did see Mary perform a Beast Curing Skill that was like using spiritual power to heal spirit-manipulated beasts.
"Holy Life Saving Hand!" Juey answered.
"Do you know the formula of the skill?" Rocky asked.
"Yes, I do. But what do you need it for? It's no use even if I tell you, because ordinary people can't learn it," Juey said while blinking her beautiful eyes.
"Just tell me." The corners of Rocky's mouth curled.
Juey hesitated to tell Rocky. The Holy Life Saving Hand was inherited only to Xiao Clan members. It was prohibited to teach it to an outsider. But deep down she knew she trusted Rocky, and she didn't see him as an outsider. She only knew the first two grades of the Holy Life Saving Hand, and there were nine in total. Plus, even if he knew it, he wouldn't be able to learn the skill. After all, only a really talented person could truly master the Holy Life Saving Hand and even Juey couldn't master it.
