Chapter 1142 Crimson City

At that moment, the beast curers exchanged astonished looks with each other. Needless to say, they were beyond surprised when hearing that Rocky could pull the beast from death's grip.

"What the hell is he talking about? Master Yuri has already concluded that there's no way to cure the beast! If he says so, then it can't be wrong!"

"Master Yuri's Beast Curing Skill is well recognized in the entire Holy Dragon Empire. Moreover, I can vouch for his excellent study. In fact, he is so skilled that I never saw nor heard that he's ever made a mistake."

"What is he doing here? And why do we even have to stand here and listen to such nonsense? This is a waste! My time is precious, and I want to get back to my work!"

The beast curers began to discuss among themselves at that moment. However, their voices weren't that mellow that Mia and Rocky could hear them.

Yuri stood there quietly, not uttering a single word in his defense. He thought that he had made it clear enough since Mia was there as well. However, the arrogant expression on his face only showed that he firmly believed that his diagnosis would never be wrong.

"Uh, Guys..." Mia cleared her throat and interrupted all the whispering. At that moment, she was itching to say something to get the attention of these rude beast curers, and that Rocky didn't deserve that. Yet, Rocky waved his hand to her, signaling that she should drop the idea of calling them out.

"Okay, I know that you guys would not believe me until you see it right before your eyes. Like what they say, seeing is believing. Next, I'll show you how to treat a spirit-manipulated beast as gravely ill as this one. Please pay attention to what I am about to do next because this is what you're going to learn later," Rocky said calmly and gently as he swept his eyes over the judging crowd.

Soon after, he moved next to the spirit-manipulated beast that was at the brink of death on the operating table and took out his surgical tools. Right after he had finished preparing, he started to perform the operation on it under the watchful eyes of Mia and the beast curers.

On the other hand, all the beast curers in the room were stunned as they saw Rocky cut the spirit-manipulated beast's belly right open. He was the definition of perfection, as everything was happening as smooth as butter. Not once had he committed a single mistake as if he had already done this procedure at least a thousand times in his lifetime.

By then, an idea suddenly struck Mia's mind. "Is that... is that..." The word was on the tip of her tongue, but she was just unable to remember how to pronounce it.

"Actually, this spirit-manipulated beast is not as ill as it looks. As a matter of fact, it is the stone inside it that blocks the internal organs, therefore, also obstructing its blood supply. The moment I take the stone out, I am certain that this beast will recuperate in no time," Rocky explained in detail as he searched for the stone in the spirit-manipulated beast's body. Not long after, he took out a dark bronze, about half a finger long stone and presented it in front of Mia and the others as proof.

After the operation, Rocky sutured the wound of the beast swiftly.

As soon as Rocky was done with closing up, the beast, which appeared to be dying a moment ago, suddenly regained its v

ettled down, Rocky hopped on Ken's back again and returned to the Imperial City.

He went directly to the Palace City to see the emperor and ask his permission for his plan. Rocky gave him a brief introduction, and luckily, the emperor was convinced and gave him his full support. Immediately, he issued an imperial edict to give the small city to Rocky and named it Crimson City. In addition, he also allocated a large sum of money for Rocky to startup his Genome Research Institute.

'I bet this project will run smoothly all thanks to the emperor's support, ' Rocky said inwardly.

Two days later, Rocky, accompanied by Isis, Sabina, Lucilla, and his little son, Nigel, bid the emperor farewell and went to Crimson City to begin his work of transforming the small town into a Genome Research Institute.

A few days later, Marcia and Lena also showed up in Crimson City after finishing their respective business. Thus, their plan of cultivating together was put on the agenda.

Since Rocky possessed the Sea Blue Magic Jade, all the women found him as the perfect vessel to cultivate with. At the same time, Marcia also generously divided the power that she had acquired from the Dragon Sarira to Rocky and the girls as they cultivated together. This cultivation helped Rocky improve his speed of refusing the Holy Dragon Bead, and also helped the girls with their strength.

Another three days had slipped away, and an uninvited guest turned up in Crimson City.

"Why are you here? What is your business?" Rocky stared at Shirley, who was standing in front of him, and wondered how to get rid of her. He had heard from Sabina that Shirley had come to his place in the Imperial City to argue about why he cancelled their engagement without informing her in advance. As a matter of fact, he had already expected that this day would come, for he knew that she wouldn't let it go quietly.

"You know the exact reason!" Shirley scowled.

"If you came here to question why I called off the engagement, then you can go back, because I've got nothing to say to you, Shirley. What's done is done," Rocky said bluntly. He didn't feel sorry about what he had done. Instead, he thought that Shirley should thank him for it.
