Urban Martial Saint

While everyone was waiting, Shen Tianjun finally regained consciousness. Just as Bai Li Xi had said, although that pill could awaken Shen Tianjun, his Inner Strength could not be restored. So, now Shen Tianjun was no different from an ordinary person, completely unable to wield his once powerful Inner Strength.

Ye Qing was initially worried that after Shen Tianjun woke up, he would ask about the Shen Family Manor. With its current state, Ye Qing truly didn’t know how to tell Shen Tianjun, fearing that he would not be able to accept it. However, strangely enough, after Shen Tianjun awoke, he did not inquire about the Shen Family Manor, nor did he say much at all. But it was clear that his emotions were very suppressed.

After all, with such events occurring, he didn’t need to ask to know that the Shen Family Manor’s situation couldn’t be good. Thus, Shen Tianjun didn’t plan on asking, as it would only add to his distress. His only thought now was to quickly regain his strength so he could subdue the Corpse Ghost Dragon and prevent similar incidents from happening again.

Bai Li Xi, on the other hand, seemed leisurely. After reviving Shen Tianjun, he directly walked over to Ding Lianshun’s side, watching Ning Qianshu take the pulse of Yin Xianzi.

Ding Lianshun and Ning Qianshu should have just reunited today. When they arrived early, Ning Qianshu hadn’t had time to treat Yin Xianzi’s injuries. Now they needed to wait, so he found some time to first examine Yin Xianzi.

After checking the pulse for a while, Ning Qianshu’s brows furrowed noticeably, indicating the situation was not optimistic.

”Mr. Ning, how is it?” Ding Lianshun asked anxiously, his face full of worry.

”From the pulse reading, she has no apparent problems.” Ning Qianshu frowned deeply.

”Nonsense, of course, there’s no apparent problem!” Bai Li Xi couldn’t help but interject, ”She’s been mentally controlled by someone, almost like being hypnotized. There’s no physical problem, the key is the mental aspect. Taking her pulse like this is pointless; you might as well prick her with a needle, maybe the pain will wake her up!”

”You’re just talking nonsense!” Ning Qianshu said impatiently, ”I’ve never heard of anyone who could be awakened from hypnosis with just a needle prick.”

”I was just using it as a metaphor, mainly to say that your method won’t work. I’m not saying a needle can actually wake her up,” Bai Li Xi said.

”I can’t do it, but can you?” Ning Qianshu shot Bai Li Xi a glance, ”If you’re so capable, why don’t you wake her up yourself?”

”I may not be able to wake her up, but at least I wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake,” Bai Li Xi responded unhappily.

Ning Qianshu replied, ”Why is this low-level? Of course, I know, it’s impossible to treat such mental hypnosis. I just wanted to make sure the Corpse Ghost Dragon hadn’t cast some other sorcery on her.”

”Stop babbling. It’s clear you don’t understand and just want to argue when I hit the mark. Ning Qianshu, you are such a stubborn duck!”

”Oh please! You talk so big, yet just like me, you still can’t save her.”

”At least theoretically, I’m right.”

”Does theoretical stuff even need you to say it? Anyone knows that!”

”Hey, what do you mean by that? Are you aware that’s a personal attack?”

The two most famous Divine Doctors in the world were bickering like children. Ye Qing and the others listened, stunned. Who could have imagined these two, whose fame spread across the land, would argue like squabbling kids when they met?

Ding Lianshun, holding Yin Xianzi among them, could not endure the buzzing in his eardrums from their argument any longer and urgently said, ”Can you two say a bit less? If you’re really capable, then tell us how to bring Yin Xianzi back!”

Ning Qianshu and Bai Li Xi immediately fell silent, looking at each other. After a long pause, Bai Li Xi finally said mysteriously, ”I do have a way.”

”What way?” Ding Lianshun looked at Bai Li Xi immediately, completely disregarding the grudges between Bai Li Xi and Ning Qianshu, only wanting to save Yin Xianzi as soon as possible.

Ning Qianshu also looked at Bai Li Xi with astonishment. He knew very well that this wasn’t something they could solve. That Bai Li Xi claimed to have a solution—how could this be? Did his Master teach him some ultimate Secret Technique?

Everyone was looking at Bai Li Xi, who took a deep breath, looked at Ding Lianshun, and suddenly said sheepishly, ”Why don’t you find a hypnosis expert to take a look at her?”

”Tsk!” Everyone in the room, without any prompting, expressed their disdain for Bai Li Xi in both voice and action. They thought he had some miraculous method, but this was it!

”Why ’tsk’?” Bai Li Xi glared at everyone and said, ”What? Doesn’t this count as a method?”

Ning Qianshu said, ”Did you really need to say this method? Acting all mysterious, as if you had some great skills. Turns out it’s just this!”

”If you’re so great, you save her!” Bai Li Xi stepped back, pointing at Yin Xianzi, ”Come on, you do it, if you have the ability!”

”I may not have the ability, but I also don’t boast!” Ning Qianshu replied leisurely.

Bai Li Xi was furious, pointing at Ning Qianshu, he said, ”Who are you calling boastful? Who are you calling boastful?!”

”I’m talking about you, what of it?”

Everyone nearby covered their ears. These two world-renowned Divine Doctors were once again arguing like children, and it was an endless quarrel.

Ye Qing and others simply ignored them, letting these two argue like old children. These two had grown up together, and although they looked down on each other, despite all the quarreling, they never came to blows, which was quite surprising to everyone.

No one knew how long they argued, but Bai Li Xi suddenly waved his hand and said, ”Alright, enough for today. Let’s get down to business, Medicine King Mountain is about to open.”

Ning Qianshu seemed somewhat unsatisfied, but hearing about the main business, he also didn’t continue. After all, he came here for the inheritance of Divine Doctor An Shiping. As for quarrelling with his senior brother, that could continue later.

Upon hearing Bai Li Xi’s words, Ye Qing and the others immediately looked over. Bai Li Xi was staring at the hillside ahead, with no idea what he was looking at.

Everyone followed Bai Li Xi’s gaze; Medicine King Mountain was right in front of them. However, Medicine King Mountain was perpetually shrouded in mist, even the nearby villagers couldn’t see the whole picture of the mountain clearly.

Ye Qing and the others had arrived at Medicine King Mountain the previous night, and it had been enveloped in fog, making it impossible to see inside. This morning, the fog was even denser, completely covering the entire mountain.

But now, the fog on Medicine King Mountain was gradually dissipating, as if blown away by the mountain wind.

Seeing this, everyone’s expressions changed. The year-round fog on Medicine King Mountain was now dissipating. As Bai Li Xi said, it seemed Medicine King Mountain was indeed about to open. Otherwise, the fog wouldn’t be dissipating.

Watching the fog slowly clearing, even Ning Qianshu showed an expression of longing. Looking at all the familiar sights on the mountain, he couldn’t help but whisper, ”Medicine King Mountain, how many years has it been? Finally, I can see your full view again!”

Bai Li Xi was equally shocked. In fact, he was just like Ning Qianshu. Since the mountain was sealed, he hadn’t been back nor seen anything inside Medicine King Mountain. Although Divine Doctor An Shiping had told him when and how the mountain would open, until that time came, knowing the method was useless for returning to Medicine King Mountain.

”Stop getting emotional!” Ye Qing looked at Bai Li Xi and said, ”What should we do next? Didn’t you say Wanyan Hongfeng set up a great formation here? Shouldn’t we think of a way to break Wanyan Hongfeng’s formation first?”

”No need to break it. Last time I came from Wan Yan Manor, I returned to Medicine King Mountain and checked. Although Wanyan Hongfeng’s great formation is powerful, his study of formations isn’t as advanced as my master’s was. So, we can easily walk into this great formation without expending energy to break it.” Bai Li Xi paused, ”Besides, the Corpse Ghost Dragon should be arriving at Medicine King Mountain soon. Keeping Wanyan Hongfeng’s formation here can hold off the Corpse Ghost Dragon for a while, which is also good for us!”

”But how long can Wanyan Hongfeng’s formation hold off the Corpse Ghost Dragon?” Huangfu Ziyu frowned and said, ”With its strength, breaking Wanyan Hongfeng’s formation is easy. Once it breaks into Medicine King Mountain, we won’t be able to handle it!”

”You don’t have to worry about that!” Bai Li Xi said confidently, ”My master’s formation isn’t that easy to break. Alright, let’s not waste time here. Follow me closely, let’s go into Medicine King Mountain first!”

Led by Bai Li Xi, they all followed him into Medicine King Mountain. There was no path to enter Medicine King Mountain, as it had been sealed for decades and no one had entered. Even if there were paths before, they’d long been covered by wild plants. Fortunately, Bai Li Xi seemed familiar with the area, leading them through the mountain in twists and turns for about ten minutes until they finally emerged from a small grove.

”Alright, we’re finally out!” Bai Li Xi turned to look at the grove and said, ”This is Wanyan Hongfeng’s great formation. Only after walking out of this grove do you truly reach Medicine King Mountain. But entering Medicine King Mountain isn’t easy. The mountain is sealed by my master’s formation; practically no one in the world can enter Medicine King Mountain!”
