Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1462: Chapter 1462: Junior Brother Fang, you need to work harder!

Accompanying Fang Bai to Flaming Sun City, along with Sun Lin, Shi Ming, Zheng Hong, and Huang Zhong, were also two stewards from Lingxu Palace appointed by Elder Yun Feng.

The two stewards were named Ren Tianfu and Ren Tianlu, a pair of brothers who had been in Lingxu Palace for forty years. Ten years ago, both brothers advanced their cultivation level to the mid Foundation Establishment Realm, becoming stewards of Lingxu Palace.

The Ren brothers were thin and slightly dark-skinned, with eyes that shone brightly. They appeared to be around forty years old, but Fang Bai, judging from their vitality, estimated they were at least over sixty.

According to Yun Feng, the Ren brothers were formidable in strength, thoughtful, and utterly loyal to Lingxu Palace. With them accompanying, the five of Fang Bai could feel at ease.

At dawn when the sun was just rising, under the watchful eyes of a dozen high-ranking members of Lingxu Palace, the Ren brothers, one in front and one behind, escorted Fang Bai and the others in the middle as they rode on some of the best Wind-Chaser Steeds of Lingxu Palace, galloping toward Flaming Sun City.

The Ren brothers were taciturn and spoke little during the journey.

However, the five of Fang Bai, protected by the Ren brothers, spoke and laughed freely on the road, feeling quite carefree and delightfully at ease.

On this day, as the seven of them passed through a small town, they encountered some acquaintances from Medicine King Mountain.

These acquaintances were precisely Chang Shan, Tong Yaoyao, and others with whom they once collaborated in White Bone Gully.

"Haha, Brother Chang, it’s only been a few days since we parted at White Bone Gully, and here we are meeting again. We really are destined to meet!"

Shi Ming laughed heartily as he stepped forward, greeting Chang Shan and the others warmly.

Chang Shan did not expect to meet Fang Bai and the others here either, especially seeing Fang Bai still safe and sound, filled him with genuine joy.

"Brother Fang, we thought you had fallen under the attack of the Green Tail Wolf! We were sad for quite a while back then..."

Tong Yaoyao sized up Fang Bai, smiling as she spoke.

Tong Yaoyao, also possessing an Innate Spiritual Root, had keen perception. She sensed at first glance that Fang Bai seemed to have undergone significant changes compared to a few days ago, much like a Martial Artist who had reached a very high realm and returned to simplicity.

"I have a hardy life, fortunately not dead!"

Fang Bai smiled and briefly recounted his experiences after parting ways with Chang Shan and the others at White Bone Gully, naturally omitting the matter of slaying the Green Tail Wolf.

"You actually got so many spiritual medicines? And even discovered a spiritual spring? Brother Fang, your luck is unbelievably good!"

Chang Shan and the others were both amazed and envious of Fang Bai’s fortune, lamenting why such an opportunity did not befall them.

"Where are you all headed?"

Fang Bai didn’t want to dwell too much on the subject and changed the topic.

Chang Shan pointed at Tong Yaoyao and said, "Junior Sister Tong recently shows signs of a breakthrough. To ensure her successful foundation establishment, the Sect Master sent us to Flaming Sun City to ask Alchemists from the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion to help refine some Creation Pills."

Fang Bai and Sun Lin exchanged glances and then laughed in unison.

Shi Ming grinned and said, "Ha, I told you we were destined, didn’t I? We’re also going to the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion in Flaming Sun City, so we’re on the same road!"

Chang Shan said, "Are you going to the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion... also to ask the Alchemists there for help with alchemy?"

Sun Lin interjected, "Not us, it’s our Palace Master personally going to request a Spirit Pill from the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion. We’re going to Flaming Sun City to broaden our horizons and gain some insight!"

After pausing, she turned her gaze to Tong Yaoyao and praised, "Sister Tong is about to establish her foundation? Congratulations!"

She then turned back to Fang Bai and sighed, "Junior Brother Fang, I recall you mentioned that you and Sister Tong came from the Spirit Martial Realm together, didn’t you? See, Sister Tong is about to establish her foundation, and you... you need to work harder! Don’t fall too far behind!"

Fang Bai found her slightly exasperated look amusing but remained earnest in appearance, saying, "Senior Sister Sun’s criticism is spot on. I’ll work hard from now on!"

Sun Lin nodded and said, "When we get to Flaming Sun City, you should ask the Palace Master to also request the Alchemists from the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion to refine some Creation Pills and other Spirit Pills for you to speed up your foundation establishment! You have an Innate Spiritual Root and are a key disciple of Lingxu Palace; maybe the Palace Master will agree?"

Fang Bai scratched his head and said, "Um... I’ll try!"

Accompanying Chang Shan, Tong Yaoyao, and other Medicine King Mountain disciples to Flaming Sun City were also two stewards, who were the complete opposite of the Ren brothers from Lingxu Palace in temperament. Seeing the younger disciples chatting enthusiastically with those from Lingxu Palace, the stewards, having nothing better to do, initiated conversations with the Ren brothers, even though the Ren brothers barely responded, they weren’t bothered by it.

The groups had a delightful meal of spirit beast roast and spirit fruit wine at a martial artist-owned tavern in the town. After a brief rest, they prepared to set off, heading together toward Flaming Sun City.

Just as everyone mounted their Wind-Chaser Steeds, the sound of hooves filled the air. Looking up, they saw a group of Lightning Leopards galloping down the street, each ridden by a martial artist.

Like the Swiftwind Horse and Wind-Chaser Steed, Lightning Leopards are spirit beasts tamed by humans for riding. noveldrama

However, Lightning Leopards are faster, more enduring, more difficult to tame, and much more expensive than Swiftwind Horses or Wind-Chaser Steeds.

One Lightning Leopard could easily be exchanged for two or three Swiftwind Horses or Wind-Chaser Steeds.

Each martial artist having their own Lightning Leopard was a luxury, demonstrating the wealth of their sect.

"It’s people from Nine Heavens Palace!"

Seeing the martial artists riding Lightning Leopards, the Medicine King Mountain disciples, including Chang Shan, all had slightly unpleasant expressions, with a hint of resentment in their eyes.

"Brother Chang, do you have a grudge with the Nine Heavens Palace disciples?"

Observant and curious, Shi Ming couldn’t help but ask.

Chang Shan snorted, "The former Palace Master of Nine Heavens Palace snatched a Nine-Dragon Alchemy Cauldron we obtained from Medicine King Mountain. Several great battles ensued, with heavy casualties on each side, creating a deep-seated grudge! Now, whenever disciples from both sides meet, it’s common to exchange harsh words or even engage in conflict!"

Shi Ming curled his lips and said, "It seems that both Nine Heavens Palace and Soul Summoning Hall are no good! They see treasure from other sects and try to seize it forcefully and unreasonably."

As they spoke, the group of Nine Heavens Palace disciples across the street noticed Chang Shan and the others. After whispering among themselves, they rode up with provocative smiles on their faces, urging their Lightning Leopards forward.

There were ten disciples from Nine Heavens Palace, all at the Foundation Establishment Realm, along with an elder and two stewards. Such a formation made the Medicine King Mountain disciples secretly wary, increasing their vigilance as if facing a great enemy.

"Steward Mo, Steward Yue, long time no see. You both still look as dashing as ever!"

When the two groups were still several feet apart, they stopped. The elder leading the Medicine King Mountain team stepped forward, wearing a fake smile.

As his gaze swept over Tong Yaoyao, it was like a martial artist discovering a treasure, his eyes suddenly brightened.
