The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 961: Chapter 955: Medicine Demon Submits

The alchemy level is full of mistakes?!

Medicine Demon Xie Qingyang frowned, looking displeased.

This was the first time someone questioned his alchemy skills!

Such a situation had never occurred before!

Even if Lin Tian had monstrous talent, Xie Qingyang was somewhat angry about this.

In the Central Continent, not even the most formidable powerhouses dared to question his alchemical methods, much less a junior like Lin Tian.

However.

Thinking that young talents are inevitably a bit arrogant, such words are understandable.

Therefore, his expression softened slightly, dismissing it, he then said, ”Instead of alchemy, Fellow Daoist, why don’t we have a duel?”

Saying this, Xie Qingyang’s gaze became fervent again, his fighting spirit soaring.

Seeing Xie Qingyang like this, Lin Tian finally nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, this guy is not only an alchemy fanatic but also a combat fanatic!

”Haha... Good! Fellow Daoist, use all your strength. To duel with a once-in-a-lifetime monster who suppresses countless geniuses like you, defeat is still an honor!”

Xie Qingyang was overjoyed, laughed loudly, and True Qi erupted from under his feet. He shot into the sky, his whole body exuding black Qi like a roaring rainbow, as if to tear the night’s curtain apart.

The Medicine Demon Xie Qingyang, in the field of alchemy, was very renowned, earning the admiration of countless cultivators.

Thus, many people overlooked his strength.

He himself is a powerful Golden Core Great Cultivator!

Moreover, what he condensed was a Flawless Golden Core, making his talent top-notch!

He is a combat fanatic, known even among the Demon Sect.

But he wouldn’t attack just anyone; he had never seen a frightening genius like Lin Tian in the Central Continent. His heart was itching, deciding he must have a match!

His sudden move scared Liu Nai’er, Liu Nianguang, and others to kneel.

Liu Nai’er wasn’t worshipping; she simply couldn’t stand steady.

”Brother Xiaotian is going to duel with this person; will it be dangerous? This person is too strong; he can even fly!”

Liu Nai’er’s beautiful eyes shimmering, filled with worry, she looked at Lin Tian, very anxious.

And Wu Jiu, Long Hentian and others, it was their first time seeing a Golden Core Great Cultivator in action, their faces turned pale with fear.

At the same time, they were filled with anticipation for the duel between the two.

Even Long Qianheng was visibly excited.

He was just one step away from stepping into the Golden Core.

But this one step seemed like an unbridgeable gap.

Perhaps by watching the battle of two Golden Core Great Cultivators, he might gain some insight!

”You are not qualified to make me use my full strength!”

Lin Tian raised his head, looked at Xie Qingyang, and shook his head slightly.

Just as he finished speaking, he took a step, as if walking on flat ground, in a flash he darted right in front of the Medicine Demon Xie Qingyang.

”What kind of movement technique is this!”

Xie Qingyang’s eyes widened in shock.

The moment before, hearing Lin Tian say he wasn’t qualified to make him use full strength, Xie Qingyang felt dissatisfied.

But seeing Lin Tian’s skill, he was secretly stunned.

Especially, he couldn’t sense a trace of True Qi fluctuation from Lin Tian.

This was a demonstration of using one’s True Qi to its utmost limit.

The subtler one is, the more terrifying their strength reveals to be!

”Take this punch! If you can withstand it, I lose!”

Lin Tian launched a Blast Flash, immediately reaching Xie Qingyang, then delivered an airborne punch.

That punch was the Sky-reaching Fist!

This was currently his most powerful boxing technique!

Because this punch technique had reached the Perfect Realm in cultivation, even higher-level techniques didn’t necessarily surpass the Sky-reaching Fist!

Xie Qingyang was prepared. As soon as Lin Tian shouted, he was already amassing his demonic Qi.

In an instant, he struck with hand seals in front of him.

The seal techniques flickered continuously in the void space, massive energy surged across the sky, like overwhelming waves,

”Good timing!”

Xie Qingyang’s fighting spirit soared, both palms merged fiercely, and he thrust them forward across the sky.

Rumble~

Their attacks connected instantly, time seemed to freeze at that moment, then exploded with a bang the next instant.

In that moment, Xie Qingyang’s face suddenly turned ashen, horror filled his eyes.

Lin Tian’s punch was light and ethereal, the swirling True Qi neither revealed nor exposed, making it appear powerless.

But the moment it solidly landed on the palm, it exerted a force like Taishan pressing down, making Xie Qingyang feel as if he was about to be crushed, his body uncontrollably hurtling backward.

”This... this boxing technique, at least a Heavenly Rank Battle Technique... might even be an Immortal Technique secret art! Oh my god, that’s reserved for Nascent Soul predecessors...”

As Xie Qingyang landed, a thought and realization flashed through his mind, causing his heart to surge with crashing waves.

Spurt~

A mouthful of fresh blood spewed from Xie Qingyang’s mouth, his face pale.

The spectators watching the brief clash, which ended almost instantaneously, were all stunned.

Especially looking at Lin Tian, Liu Nai’er, and others were all in disarray.

Long Qianheng and others were filled with shock and awe, unable to calm down.

”I lost!”

Xie Qingyang forced a bitter smile, then climbed up, disregarding his disheveled state, he clasped his fists at Lin Tian and said, ”Fellow Daoist, your power is terrifying; Xie concedes defeat! Thinking back to all those so-called geniuses in the Central Continent, they’re truly laughable...”

”You couldn’t even withstand a single punch. If I went all out, you’d be reduced to dust!”

Lin Tian shook his head slightly, speaking with a composed face, ”As for the geniuses you mentioned... Geniuses are just people who fancy themselves remarkable to fulfill their vanity and receive others’ flattery! True geniuses are not about reaching a certain cultivation level at a certain age, but about one’s perseverance, opportunities, Dao heart, nature, comprehension, and resource availability! Talent is secondary... Although comprehension and talent are somewhat related, it’s negligible...”

”Ah...”

Other than Liu Nai’er and her uncle and aunt, everyone else gasped in surprise at Lin Tian’s words.

Because Lin Tian’s remarks were too novel!

At least in the current cultivation world, it was quite unusual!

All along, they adhered to the principle of talent first, resources second, to select talents.

Many frowned upon hearing this.

Only Xie Qingyang was stunned for a while, then suddenly enlightened, bowing to Lin Tian and saying, ”Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your guidance!”

Grateful, Xie Qingyang continued, ”May I ask, Fellow Daoist, how much strength did you use in that punch just now?”

”Do you really want to know?”

Lin Tian looked at him with a half-smile, speaking calmly.

”Please, Fellow Daoist, feel free to speak!”

Xie Qingyang had a vague sense of foreboding but still clasped his fists and said.

Lin Tian nodded gently, paused for a moment, and said, ”At most, it would be a very conservative estimate of one-tenth of my strength!”

Gasp~

One... one-tenth?!!!

Xie Qingyang’s mouth opened wide, eyes bulging, in shock like his eyeballs were about to fall out.

He gasped, then his face collapsed, shaking his head with a wry smile, ”Now I finally understand what it means to be someone better out there! If Fellow Daoist went to the Central Continent, those so-called geniuses there might all collapse...”

”Today, Xie lost! If Fellow Daoist’s anger is not subdued, Xie is at your discretion!”

Seeing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction; Xie Qingyang was indeed a straightforward person.

”Based on your words, I’ll give you a couple more pointers!”

Saying this, Lin Tian walked up to the pill furnace, picked up some unused Spirit Flower materials, and threw them into the pill furnace. Then, with a slap of his hand, he controlled the pill furnace in mid-air, Samadhi True Fire flaring from his palm.

”Just now, I saw your refining process and could guess the general elixir recipe content... First, the elixir recipe has issues, your technique also has issues... Moreover, these Spirit Flowers aren’t refined this way, though it’s also my first time seeing them...”

Then, Lin Tian started explaining to Xie Qingyang while demonstrating his refining skills.

In just a few minutes, Xie Qingyang was stunned.

Then, he directly knelt and paid homage, exclaiming repeatedly, ”The teachings and transmissions from Fellow Daoist are no different from those of my mentor. Please accept my worship!”
