The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 690: Chapter 686: Engagement?

“Give me one reason not to kill you?”

Everyone in the private room felt a sudden jolt, their bodies chilling from head to toe.

Facing such a person, everyone present was just an ordinary human, what could they possibly offer that would interest a master who could control their fates with a mere flip of his hand!

Remembering how Maoo Qijun had died just moments ago and hearing Lin Tianhan’s bone-chilling voice, everyone trembled involuntarily, their hearts filled with dread and panic.

And Cheen Chaoya, Lin Tian nearly scared him to death.

A reason… a reason…

Cheen Chaoya wailed internally.

Power? Benefits? Money?

None were sufficient!

It wasn’t just Cheen Chaoya who realized this; even the others knew that such things could be obtained by such a person with just a flick of his wrist!

For a moment, Cheen Chaoya was like an ant on a hot pan, cold sweat pouring down like rain.

But, after a long pause, he suddenly lifted his head and looked at Lin Tian with a pleading face, “Senior… I am willing to become your loyal servant, and do anything for you, to follow your commands at all costs! I would climb a mountain of swords or descend into a sea of flames without hesitation. My life is yours…”

Bang~

However, Lin Tian’s response to Cheen Chaoya was a raised foot, kicking Cheen Chaoya and sending him flying.

After being kicked away, Cheen Chaoya was terrified. After rolling around once, ignoring the severe pain and embarrassment, he quickly crawled back on his knees.

“How much is your life worth?”

Lin Tian’s eyes were as sharp as blades as he looked back at Cheen Chaoya, then casually sat down on the sofa and said indifferently, “With your current state, you’re not even qualified to be my servant, let alone lay down your life for Lin Beiliu. This is your last chance…”

At this moment, Cheen Chaoya could feel the sharp gaze hanging over his head like the grim reaper’s scythe, causing his body to tremble even more.

My life is already forfeit, what else do I have to save myself?

Cheen Chaoya internally wailed and racked his brains, but found no solution.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Nie Xingchen for help.

“Dragon Creek Mountain!”

Nie Xingchen took a deep breath and reminded Cheen Chaoya with these words.

Initially, Nie Xingchen wanted to secretly retrieve the treasure that appeared on Dragon Creek Mountain, and he could have disregarded Cheen Chaoya’s life.

But, since the latter had been secretly following him for many years and his subordinates had also collected many medicinal herbs for cultivation,

when he was pursued and fell off a cliff by Shui Ku and Yun Jing, grievously wounded but not dead, it was Cheen Chaoya who provided him with accommodation and medicine for healing.

If the treasure from Dragon Creek Mountain could save Cheen Chaoya’s life, then it was worth it!

With the reminder, Cheen Chaoya’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly crawled to Lin Tian’s feet, excitedly saying, “Senior… senior… I’ve thought of something! Dragon Creek Mountain, there’s a treasure! A stone that emits firelight throughout, it must be a treasure. I only mentioned this to my ancestor… Senior Nie!”

“A stone that emits light throughout?”

Lin Tian was momentarily stunned, then looked at Cheen Chaoya and asked, “What kind of aura does it have inside? Or what does it specifically look like?”

“I don’t know about the aura, senior. It’s a dark place, with a terrifying fierce beast guarding it, and I dared not get close!”

Cheen Chaoya hurriedly replied, “But I saw the stone. It rolled down from the shadowy valley but fell into a crevice, unreachable! The beast is too terrifying! The stone is all red as if there are flames inside trying to burst forth; even from a distance, one could feel an intense heat, but I couldn’t find out more…”

“Earthfire Stone!”

Lin Tian’s eyes suddenly twinkled with a sharp gleam, he took a slight breath and spoke softly.

From Cheen Chaoya’s brief description, Lin Tian had already guessed what that stone might be.

The Earthfire Stone, a treasure formed from gradual Earthfire suitable for cultivation, containing objective Fire Spiritual Energy inside.

Although it’s not a real Spirit Stone, it’s extremely precious, and if used for cultivating Fire Magic or Cultivation Techniques, the effect is doubled and is not inferior to real Spiritual Fire.

Now Lin Tian had three Mid-grade Spirit Stones and over a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones with him, but he did not use them lightly.

These items, in the current Earth, were too precious, to be used for critical breakthroughs to exert their maximum effect.

As for the Earthfire Stone, it was just right for his cultivation. Besides, the Earthfire Stone could not be taken away, as once removed from its original location, the source of its Earthfire energy would quickly dissipate.

“In that case, will you take me there tomorrow?”

Lin Tian pondered slightly before speaking to Cheen Chaoya.

“Yes, yes, yes… Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life!”

Cheen Chaoya’s face showed ecstatic joy as he kowtowed, “However, it’s best to go tomorrow evening when the fierce beast is at its weakest!”

“Senior, shall I and Chaoya accompany you at that time?”

At this moment, Nie Xingchen timely added his voice.

“Alright!”

Lin Tian stood up, nodded in agreement, glanced at Jia Yanjun and Jiang Huijun, feeling bored and uninterested, he turned to leave. However, as he reached the doorway of the private room, he looked back and said, “Cheen Chaoya, if you dare deceive me, I will scatter your soul!”

After leaving the Dragon Mountain Manor, he took a taxi back to Xuantang Bay.

However, before he reached Xuantang Bay, Lin Tian got out of the car again.

At this time, it was already getting dark. He hadn’t forgotten the dinner appointment with Shu Yi tonight.

If it weren’t for Shu Yi, he would have already rushed to Dragon Creek Mountain with Cheen Chaoya.

Standing by the Cold Water River, Lin Tian took out his mobile phone and called Zhou Zhiyao to let them know everything was settled and asked them not to mention it to the Xiang Family or Xiang Shanshan.

Lin Tian didn’t want to alarm the Xiang Family to avoid Shu Yi worrying unnecessarily; some things were better not known to Shu Yi for now.

Right after he hung up, Shu Yi called him. Lin Tian gave her his location, and she drove over to pick him up.

After dinner together, they went to a hotel called Hua Jiang near Xuantang Bay.

… (This part is omitted!)

In the room.

“I’m thinking of leaving tomorrow. Will you come with me?”

Lin Tian looked down at Shu Yi, pondered for a moment, and then spoke straightforwardly.

Shu Yi’s eyes reddened slightly as she lifted her head, looked at Lin Tian, and shook her head with a forced smile, “I’m sorry, I can’t leave with you! I have something very important tomorrow. If… if there’s a chance, you can come find me in East Continent! Okay? I also want to be with you all the time, but I… I’m not free to make my own decisions!”

“Alright! I’ll come to the East Continent to find you!”

Lin Tian could see the deep longing on Shu Yi’s face. He knew Shu Yi’s family was in the East Continent, so he agreed right away. After all, once he returned to Liiu Yuan City and obtained the Ancient Map Fragment, he would head to the East Continent, which coincidentally was also the start of college, allowing him to return to his family.

Soon, Lin Tian held Shu Yi as they both fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, when he opened his eyes and woke up, he found Shu Yi’s form was no longer beside him.

Thinking of giving Shu Yi a call, but just as he was turning over, the phone rang. It was Xiang Daisan’s voice, “You big bully, I had Uncle Lv and Aunt Zhou go to help you, they said you were alright?”

“It’s alright, I’ll leave today. Do you need anything?”

Lin Tian’s tone cooled slightly as he frowned and replied.

“Are you just going to leave like that?”

Xiang Daisan’s words carried a hint of dissatisfaction and she coldly snorted, “After all, you’re my cousin’s friend. How can you not attend her engagement ceremony?”

Engagement?

Lin Tian suddenly stood up from the bed, his expression drastically changed, his eyes emitting a chilling air.
