The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 810: Chapter 806: The Mountain Rain is Coming and the Wind Fills the Tower (Part 2) (Second Update!)

“Is the Holy Gu Sect really coming to our doorstep?”

Shi Youxuan’s face was both grave and anxious as she said to Ren Woxiao, “Uncle Xiao, what should we do? Xiao Meng possesses the Xuanyin Body, and the Holy Gu Sect will undoubtedly stop at nothing to obtain her!”

“Indeed, the people of the Holy Gu Sect coming here want to annihilate Nine Heavens and his group as an afterthought; their real purpose is certainly Xiao Meng!”

Ren Woxiao looked at Ren Jiutian, whose condition was worsening on the ground, but he was powerless to help. He explained the situation on Xuanyuan Mountain to Shi Youxuan and others, then added, “Originally, Xiao Meng’s Xuanyin Body was an extraordinarily strong talent physique. If she could find a suitable cultivation technique, she would have been a prodigy in cultivation! Unfortunately… now it’s become a disaster falling from the sky!”

“Ancestor… The Holy Gu Sect attacking our Xuanyuan Mountain was not just for swiftly controlling the underworld forces for their convenience, but also because Xuanyuan Mountain’s current plight is due to me!”

At this moment, Ren Jiutian’s eldest disciple, the young man Yuan Qun, kneeling on the ground, choked and said, “I… I am said to have the Xuanyin Body as well! It’s because Master learned from my junior sister Cao Geyun’s betrayal of the sect that the Holy Gu Sect is looking for me because of my Xuanyin Physique!”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those present changed dramatically once more.

This means that Dragon Slayer Valley harbors two hot potatoes, and if strong figures from the Holy Gu Sect arrive, they won’t rest until they have them!

Upon hearing Yuan Qun’s words, everyone realized that it was Ren Jiutian’s youngest female disciple, Cao Geyun, who had fallen in love with someone outside the sect and leaked the news about Yuan Qun’s Xuanyin Physique. It turned out that the young man was a disciple of the Holy Gu Sect, and for the sake of the man she loved, she led the Holy Gu Sect to their doorstep.

Fortunately, when Cao Geyun betrayed them, Ren Jiutian got wind of it in time and fled overnight with Yuan Qun and Linghu Tai.

However, Cao Geyun’s betrayal did not end well; she was killed on the spot by the young man from the Holy Gu Sect when they failed to capture Ren Jiutian and Yuan Qun. It was both pitiful and hateful.

“Uncle Xiao, what should we do now?”

Shi Youxuan’s face was even more anxious, and then she said to Elder Jiang and He Chen, “Elder Jiang, Brother He, after you refine the elixir and examine the ailments of our clan members, you should leave! There’s no need to wade into these murky waters!”

This…

Elder Jiang and He Chen exchanged a glance, hesitated, and then nodded somewhat shamefully.

However, He Chen was obviously reluctant and said to Shi Youxuan, “Junior Sister, why don’t you leave with us?”

“No, I must stay to protect my sister!”

Shi Youxuan bit her lip, shook her head resolutely, and then said to Ren Woxiao, “Uncle Xiao, if only the elders of the Holy Gu Sect come, can you handle it?”

“Ah, it’s hard to say! After all, my cultivation compared to the old days is like heaven and earth!”

Ren Woxiao shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “However, I can still hold them off for a bit!”

“That old bastard, to shed into a Flawless Golden Core and achieve Golden Core Supreme, he is willing to sacrifice others!”

Shi Youxuan’s face was full of indignation, and she said to Ren Woxiao, “Uncle Xiao, what exactly is the Flawless Golden Core? You should know, right?”

“You haven’t reached that level yet, so knowing might not be good. But since you’re asking, I’ll briefly explain. The Golden Core of a Golden Core Cultivator and the Foundation Establishment Platform of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator also have different levels and qualities! Besides being divided into Defective, Flawless, and Perfect, there’s also Fission and Divine Hidden above that. The quality of a Golden Core can be enhanced using higher-level cultivation techniques or spiritual pills and treasures. The higher the Golden Core’s grade, the more powerful the cultivator. If one can condense a Hidden Golden Core, they can dominate their level and even rival other powerhouses beyond their level! That is truly being supreme at your level…”

Ren Woxiao briefly explained to Shi Youxuan and the others, and then looked at Lin Tian and said, “Brother Lin, would you treat this junior of mine?”

“Wait, Uncle Xiao, you’re asking him to do it?”

At this moment, Shi Youxuan suddenly reacted and looked at Lin Tian, saying, “He has no cultivation, so even if his medical skills are superb, how good can they be? You must be fooled by him!”

Fooled?

Ren Woxiao was unaware of the previous conflict between Lin Tian and Shi Youxuan, so seeing this girl’s contentious tone, he was somewhat puzzled.

He asked Lin Tian to help not only to save Ren Jiutian but also to see how advanced Lin Tian’s medical skills were!

He had witnessed Lin Tian’s alchemy skills and was amazed, and he was even more eagerly anticipating his medical skills.

Seeing Shi Youxuan stopping him, he couldn’t help but feel confused.

“If you confirm I’m to do it, I’ll heal him now!”

Lin Tian ignored Shi Youxuan and turned to Ren Woxiao.

“No way!”

Before Ren Woxiao could respond, Shi Youxuan directly interrupted and scolded Lin Tian, “I don’t know what kind of enchanting potion you’ve given Uncle Ren to make him trust you so much, but this matter involves human lives, it absolutely cannot be done recklessly!”

At this moment, Shi Youxuan made a decision on her own and turned back to Elder Jiang, saying, “Elder Jiang, please take a look at Uncle Ren Jiutian!”

Elder Jiang stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Ren Woxiao.

“Enough, let Elder Jiang examine Jiutian’s condition!”

Ren Jiutian shook his head helplessly at Shi Youxuan, clearly indulging Shi Youxuan and Shi Xiaomeng, and said to Elder Jiang, “You are from the Ancient Medicine Sect, and your research in medical skills is certainly beyond mine! Moreover, I’ve heard that in ancient times, the Ancient Medicine Sect was a major sect with the purpose of healing the world, possessing its own set of alchemy and medical secret techniques!”

“Elder Ren, you praise us too much; our Ancient Medicine Sect has fallen into such a state that it’s hardly worth mentioning!”

Elder Jiang sighed, then bowed again before lowering himself to examine Ren Jiutian’s condition.

He placed his finger on Ren Jiutian’s wrist, surrounded by a faint green aura exuding abundant vitality.

A long while.

Elder Jiang stood up with a solemn face, then shook his head with a bitter smile.

“Elder Ren, he… he’s been poisoned! It’s the Miao Region’s Gu poison!”

Elder Jiang frowned slightly and said solemnly, “If I’m not mistaken, the Gu poison he’s afflicted with should be personally concocted by that Holy Gu Sect leader! There is nothing I can do!”

What!

Everyone’s expression changed dramatically, showing shock.

…

Huaxia, vast and boundless.

Deep in the mainland, giant mountains loom.

Wuyou Ridge, Star Mountain.

Towering mountains, dense primitive forests, abyss canyons connected with streams and ravines, crisscrossing.

On a long, winding stone staircase of the main peak of Star Mountain, two figures walked down from the mountain.

They were two women, both dressed in moon-white long dresses, graceful and ethereal like immortals.

One woman appeared to be in her thirties or forties, her black hair tied high, with extraordinary poise and unfathomable cultivation.

The other was a girl looking about seventeen years old, her long hair draped over her shoulders, her face free from makeup yet exceptionally beautiful. She wore a bracelet inlaid with tricolor gemstones on her creamy-white hands, a light-patterned silk belt around her waist with a plain-patterend sachet hanging from it, and soft-soled boots on her feet, as if an immortal descended to the mortal world.

“Master, how can the sect let you go to the Southwest alone? It would be better if some other elders accompanied you!”

The girl followed the woman down the mountain, asking somewhat confused.

“The Holy Master Hong Qi of the Southwest Holy Gu Sect has been restless for years, and now, to increase his cultivation and ambition, he colludes with many cultivators from Thainan Yin Du and the South Seas, causing disturbances that must be quelled! As for going alone, it’s sufficient, even if Hong Qi’s cultivation has greatly increased, he is beneath my notice! Besides, I also want to travel the mundane world alone for a while? I’ll meet you in Yanjing, and then we’ll return to the sect together as master and disciple!”

The woman said calmly with a smile, “But you, are you really planning to break off that engagement this time you go back home?”

“Hmph, of course! My husband, Jii Xiaoyao’s, should at least be someone like our Star Mountain’s prodigious Brother Shi Baitian!”

The girl snorted softly and said, “Recently, a message came from the family, saying the one I’m engaged to is just a mere mortal ant, unworthy of my attention as Jii Xiaoyao!”

This girl was none other than Jii Xiyao, the daughter of the Jii family engaged to Lin Tian.

As for the woman, she was Elder Weng Xiyun of Star Mountain, Jii Xiaoyao’s master, who possessed a terrifying middle-stage Golden Core cultivation!

“Well, as long as it’s your own decision, Master will support you!”

Weng Xiyun fondly patted Jii Xiaoyao’s head with a smile, “Now you’ve reached the tenth level of the Qi Refinement Stage. It was rare in the sect for anyone to reach this level. Only Shi Baitian achieved it! Your talent is no less than his! Indeed, to match you, Xiaoyao, one needs to be at least someone like Shi Baitian!”

“Hmph, of course! Many so-called talents seem laughable in front of me, Jii Xiaoyao! Let alone a mere mortal ant, how could he be fitting as my fiancé?”

Jii Xiaoyao proudly lifted her chin slightly and then voiced her concern to Weng Xiyun, “Master, please be careful on your trip to the Southwest!”

Weng Xiyun nodded with a smile and, with Jii Xiaoyao, descended Star Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, they parted ways, with one heading towards Yanjing and the other rushing towards the Southwest.
