Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2789: Chapter 2788: Tian Sha’s Purpose

In the silent night, moonlight like water gently spills into the simple room where Lin Dong resides.

Inside the room, however, the atmosphere is not as peaceful as the outer world. A silent psychic battle is quietly unfolding.

Lin Dong sits cross-legged, his eyes tightly closed, his face stern, surrounded by a faintly discernible ripple of mental power.

Just shortly before, he sensed a foreign divine sense attempting to intrude into his mental domain. He immediately identified who it belonged to.

That was Tian Sha!

Tian Sha is also located in the Dragon Country War Department Base, not far from here.

Unexpectedly, he probed using such a method, which undoubtedly showed great disrespect and provocation to Lin Dong.

A rage surged in Lin Dong’s heart, but he did not lose his rationality. Instead, he countered with a more sophisticated method.

He slowly opened his eyes, wisdom glistening in his gaze, and then a mighty wave of mental power surged out from within him.

The mental power soon surrounded the room where Tian Sha was located.

Like a flood, it swept through the entire room, instantly disintegrating the prohibitions Tian Sha had arranged around. Those seemingly unbreakable barriers were fragile as thin paper in the face of Lin Dong’s mental power and were easily torn to shreds.

Next, Lin Dong’s mental power transformed into an invisible prison, tightly enveloping the entire room, forming an airtight mental domain, completely trapping Tian Sha within.

Tian Sha’s expression instantly became complex, with surprise and helplessness mixed in.

He didn’t expect the opponent’s mental power to be so strong.

Not only had it recognized his ancient martial level sensing divine sense, but it had also so easily dismantled his prohibitions.

And used mental power to surround his room.

He smiled bitterly and said, ”Brother, I have no malicious intent, it was mere curiosity. Please retract your mental power.”

Lin Dong’s lips curled into a cold smile, he did not speak but used mental power to transmit a message in a tone audible only to Tian Sha, coldly saying:

”Since you were the first to offend, don’t blame me for retaliating. In this world, strength decides everything, and rules are set by the strong.”

Tian Sha felt even more bitter upon hearing this. He knew that he was indeed at fault this time, so he had no choice but to relent again:

”Brother, I truly meant no harm, I was just too curious about you. I was wrong, truly wrong.”

Lin Dong remained unmoved, his voice still ice-cold:

”Heh, whether you had malicious intent or not, using divine sense to spy on me has violated my boundaries. Since you are so fond of peeping at others, taste what it feels like to be peeped at. In the coming days, my mental power will remain locked onto you.”

Tian Sha felt a chill in his heart. He knew that if Lin Dong’s mental power remained locked on him, he would have no privacy, an immense torture and a trampling of dignity for a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.

He hurriedly said, ”What do you need to let me go? I’m willing to compensate to make amends for my wrongdoing.”

”I have a third-grade elixir, a millennium Spring Encountering Tree, and a Semi Medicine King plant here. You can choose one as compensation for my rash actions.”

Lin Dong squinted slightly, seeming to ponder Tian Sha’s proposal.

After a moment, he slowly spoke:

”Since you like to use treasures to solve problems, show some sincerity. I want the millennium Spring Encountering Tree, but one is not enough, I need three.”

Tian Sha’s face changed slightly upon hearing this. The millennium Spring Encountering Tree is an incredibly precious spiritual material. Even for him, it was acquired by mere chance.

He hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, ”Brother, you truly ask boldly. The growth conditions for the millennium Spring Encountering Tree are harsh, and the idea that they appear in clusters isn’t accurate. I’m lucky to have one, where would more come from?”

Lin Dong snorted coldly, his eyes revealing an undeniable firmness:

”Don’t fool me, Tian Sha. Though I haven’t fully understood your background, I have my own judgment regarding the millennium Spring Encountering Tree. If you are unwilling, then we’ll settle our grievance at the War God Competition.”

No one knows better than Lin Dong the growth conditions of the millennium Spring Encountering Tree.

He is aware that the millennium Spring Encountering Tree typically grows in clusters.

If one can acquire one, naturally, more can be obtained.

Tian Sha realized that today’s issue couldn’t be settled easily. After weighing the pros and cons, he helplessly nodded:

”You’re formidable. Okay, I’m willing to pay this price. But you must ensure that after acquiring the millennium Spring Encountering Tree, this matter ends here.”

Lin Dong smiled lightly, the mental power prison dissipated, and he slowly got up, his tone carrying a subtle sense of satisfaction:

”Agreed.”

Thus, a storm triggered by spying was temporarily settled with Tian Sha’s compromise.

The negotiation’s warmth hadn’t faded, and the air was still filled with a subtle balance and relief.

Lin Dong slowly closed his eyes and withdrew the invisible mental power like a tide back within himself.

He understood that in this invisible contest, he had claimed a crucial victory without deploying any troops.

Meanwhile, Tian Sha’s silhouette appeared particularly aloof under the night, yet his eyes sparkled with a faint, undetectable admiration.

Upon sensing Lin Dong had retracted the mental power, he left his room like a gust of wind and arrived at Lin Dong’s room.

Subsequently, he retrieved three large wooden boxes from a spatial bag.

Inside these wooden boxes were the three millennium Spring Encountering Trees that Lin Dong sought, each leaf imbued with astonishing life energy, precisely the primary ingredient for ’Deadwood Dan’.

For Lin Dong, they are very precious treasures.

”Brother, you’re truly remarkable, I’m impressed.” Tian Sha’s words carried a hint of sincerity and a touch of self-mockery.

He gently placed the wooden boxes in front of Lin Dong, continuing, ”We have met through conflict but through this experience, I sincerely hope for more cooperation opportunities between us in the future.”

Lin Dong smiled faintly, with his thoughts concealed in that smile.

”Cooperation? Helping the Dragon Country War Department claim first in the War God Competition together?” He deliberately directed the conversation to a well-known yet difficult-to-reach height, his eyes glinting with cunning.

He knew someone like Tian Sha sought far more than simple honor and status.

He must have another purpose, and the following words would surely reveal his primary goal for this visit.

Tian Sha slightly furrowed his brow, seemingly weighing something. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth, his voice carrying a subtle, complex emotion:

”Brother, are you genuinely unaware or pretending? Haven’t you heard of the rumors circulating about the Five Elements Land?”

Lin Dong’s heart stirred, but he deliberately displayed a curious expression on his face:

”What rumors? I usually focus only on cultivation, knowing little about external matters.”

”All I know is that this time, the Five Elements Land is the venue for the War God Competition. As for anything else, I’m unaware.”
