The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 793: Chapter 789: The Female Pharmacist’s Whereabouts (Part 2) (Second Update!)

The old man beside Dai Mao, clad in traditional Miao ethnic clothing with white eyebrows and long beard, had a pair of cloudy eyes flanking his aquiline nose.

Throughout the entire event, from the appearance of Lin Tian and others to Situ Xiu’s intervention, he remained composed and unruffled.

Upon closer inspection, one would realize that within a half-meter radius around him and Dai Mao, the corpse Qi released by Situ Xiu was completely warded off by an invisible aura.

At this moment,

Situ Xiu also noticed this circumstance, and his expression changed abruptly as his gaze swiftly turned to the old man in Miao attire, “You’re a Gu Dao cultivator from the Miao Region!”

As he spoke, Situ Xiu couldn’t help but instinctively step back.

Although he had once been a cultivator of Corpse Soul Mountain,

This elderly man was obviously much more powerful than him.

The fact that he could silently block the corpse Qi he had released showed his strength.

In a battle of equals, he naturally wouldn’t fear, but he was only a Qi Refining First Level cultivator!

However,

Thinking of Lin Tian standing next to him, Situ Xiu slightly regained his composure.

Yet, he was still somewhat apprehensive; after all, this Miao Region Gu cultivator was no less bizarre than their Corpse Soul evil cultivators.

Miao Region Gu cultivators, in plain terms, specialize in practicing the unique Gu Dao cultivation of the Miao Region.

Ancient, mysterious, powerful!

Gu cultivators – their methods and directions of practice are akin to the curse masters of Thainan.

Gu Dao cultivators mainly focus on cultivating Gu worms, Gu poisons, and Gu medicines.

Among these, Gu worms and Gu poisons are the most common paths for Miao Region Gu cultivators, with some even practicing both.

As for Gu medicines, it might sound daunting, but it’s akin to the Pharmacists in the Cultivation World, similar to medical skill practitioners.

They are doctors who save the dying and heal the injured.

For example, Duan Shiyi is a female pharmacist who practiced Gu medicines.

But the elder opposite them was likely a powerful Gu poison cultivator.

“You cultivate some strange things, your whole body is filled with corpse poison energy!”

The old man stared coldly at Situ Xiu and said icily, “Cripple your cultivation and kneel down. Confess your origin, and I may spare your life!”

“As for you…”

Saying so, the elder’s gaze turned back to Lin Tian, squinting as he spoke, “Do you know Duan Shiyi?”

It was evident that the elder could not recognize Situ Xiu’s origin.

After all, an existence like Corpse Soul Mountain was not something that an ordinary Miao Region cultivator could easily come into contact with.

Upon hearing the elder’s words, Situ Xiu’s expression underwent another change, and he took another step back.

Being much weaker than the elder, if the other party released Gu poison, it could silently kill him, possibly even before Lin Tian could intervene.

As for Lin Tian, his expression remained unchanged, indifferent as he said, “You just need to tell me how to find Duan Shiyi. Don’t wait for me to make a move!”

To Lin Tian, the elder before him didn’t warrant any concern.

He was merely a Qi Refining Ninth Level Gu cultivator.

However, the elder grew furious and shouted, “You insignificant ant, how arrogant!”

With that, the elder flicked his finger, and several green streaks of energy swept toward Lin Tian.

That was Gu poison!

“Courting death!”

Lin Tian snorted coldly, and with a flick of his finger as well, True Qi wrapped in Samadhi True Fire formed a radiant beam, instantly burning away those streaks of Gu poison energy.

The True Qi wrapped in Samadhi True Fire continued its trajectory unfettered and with a bang hit the elder.

“Ah… you… you’re also a cultivator! You’ve cultivated Samadhi True Fire… you… you’re a Foundation Establishment senior!”

The elder let out a horrific scream, his face was covered with endless panic, his expression utterly terrified.

But, no sooner had his words fallen than his whole body exploded into a pile of ash with a bang, scattering over the sofa.

Dai Mao, who sat to one side, was instantly petrified with fear.

His eyes wide open, he watched as the elder turned to dust, his heart clenched violently with chilling dread.

“Yao… Senior Yao is… is like an immortal being in the Miao Region, you… you… you actually killed him…”

Dai Mao stared with bulging eyes at the now-empty sofa and then at Lin Tian, “Could it be that you… you also are…”

As he spoke, Dai Mao trembled all over, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to his knees on the ground.

“Immortal Master, please spare my life…”

Dai Mao shook like chaff, pleading again and again.

“Where is Duan Shiyi?”

Lin Tian asked with an icy face.

“Ah… I… we don’t know either! We’re also looking for her!”

Dai Mao’s face showed surprise, then he pointed to the dumbfounded beautiful woman, the youth, and Miao Jianfeng and others beside him, shouting, “They should know… I… I was originally going to force Miao Jianfeng to submit to me, make him drink the Gu Xin Water, then pretended to release Meng Sina and Lei Yangbing, mother and son, and have someone follow them as they leave to find out Duan Shiyi’s whereabouts. They are Lei Chongtian’s family; they should know where Duan Shiyi is… Immortal Master, have mercy!”

“What! Dai Mao, your heart is so venomous!”

Miao Jianfeng’s face suddenly filled with rage and he shouted.

So the other side had no intention of releasing the mother and son; they wanted to use them to reel in the big fish.

“Oh, Lei Chongtian doesn’t know where Duan Shiyi is? What do you want with Duan Shiyi?”

Lin Tian was somewhat surprised and could not help but ask.

“Ah, it’s not us looking for her; it’s the Holy Gu Sect’s Immortal Master from the Miao Region who wants to find her. It’s said she took the Supreme Treasure of the Ancient Medicine Sect!”

Dai Mao kowtowed repeatedly, spilling everything he knew, “And the Ancient Medicine Sect, it seems to be an affiliated power of the Holy Gu Sect! Now it appears to have split… As for Lei Chongtian, Duan Shiyi has a lifesaving grace for their family, he definitely won’t talk. So we could only use his wife and child to lead us there… That’s all I know, everything was arranged by the now-deceased Senior Yao…”

“Holy Gu Sect? How come there are shadows of this power everywhere in the Southwest!”

After hearing Dai Mao’s words, Lin Tian murmured to himself, then flicked his hand, and a streak of flame shot out, incinerating the other party into ash with a bang.

Across from him.

Miao Jianfeng’s face turned deathly pale, his legs trembling, and he quickly kneeled on the ground.

“Young one Miao Jianfeng, has had the honor of meeting Immortal Master!”

It was the first time Miao Jianfeng had ever seen such a powerful youth.

Though he was an Earth-level martial artist, he’d heard somewhat of cultivators from the cultivation world, but had never seen one with his own eyes.

Now that he witnessed Lin Tian destroy Dai Mao and the others with a mere wave of his hand, his heart was filled with thick fear and veneration.

Meng Sina and her son Lei Yangbing also knelt down following him.

“Immortal Master…”

Meng Sina said with a trembling voice.

“Call me Mr. Lin!”

Lin Tian looked at Meng Sina, paused, and then said, “My name is… Lin Beiliu!”

He had decided not to let others know his previous name; he feared it would bring too much trouble to his parents and family in the future.

“Mr. Lin, what are you looking for Duan Shiyi for?”

Meng Sina’s voice trembled with fear, yet she bit her lip and cautiously asked Lin Tian.

“Don’t worry, I’m looking for her to take me to a place; I won’t harm her!”

Lin Tian immediately reassured Meng Sina when he saw her hesitation.

“She… she’s in Tusk Forest! Only my husband knows the details. We received news that there was trouble at the Ancient Medicine Sect, and we also got news of the alliance between Liangshan Gang and New Shida Gang. So my husband secretly kept Shiyi away…”

Meng Sina bit her lip, apparently making a decision, and said, “As for the specifics, I can’t tell you. If you can save my husband’s life, I will tell you her exact location!”

“Fine! You lead me to Medicine Mountain! After I save your husband, you tell me where Duan Shiyi is!”

Lin Tian nodded, agreeing straightforwardly, then he turned to Situ Xiu and Song Manshan, “You two stay behind… help get this cleaned up, then return on your own! We don’t need you for the rest… Oh, and carry this with you; it can withstand a full blow from a cultivator below the Foundation Establishment Stage!”

Saying so, Lin Tian threw two jade talismans that he had kept on his person to Situ Xiu and Song Manshan.

Both of them were overjoyed and thanked him profusely.

Soon after, Lin Tian followed Meng Sina and her son out of the Tower Village, into their car, and headed for Medicine Mountain in Tusk City.
