Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1283: Where is the treasure vault of Golden Crow Manor?

Just as Huang Canghai voiced his skepticism, the grand doors of the Manor Master Hall creaked open and were slowly pushed apart by someone.

Clad in white, purer than snow, Fang Bai, with his hands clasped behind his back, leisurely walked out from the Manor Master Hall.

His relaxed and serene demeanor indicated that the short period of seclusion for healing had not depleted much of his vitality and spirit.

"I just knew he could heal Senior Brother Huang’s injuries... He must always be this formidable..."

Muttering to herself, Xia Chenyu’s beautiful eyes blinked softly, her gaze full of tender infatuation as she looked at Fang Bai, the hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth quickly spreading across her charming face.

Born with enchanting beauty, Xia Chenyu, with every frown and smile, naturally exuded an inherent allure. Even Huang Canghai, who had lived over a century and had cultivated to a realm of complete equanimity, felt his heart skip a beat at the sight of her smiling, quickly averting his eyes.

Xia Chenyu and Fang Bai shared a tacit understanding, sensing each other’s presence. As Fang Bai was about to finish the healing session inside the Manor Master Hall, she already knew, so seeing Fang Bai come out only brought her joy without any surprise.

On the contrary, Huang Canghai looked stupefied, thinking he was seeing an illusion, and blinked furiously before daring to confirm that the young man in white was indeed Fang Bai.

According to Huang Canghai’s original estimation, Fang Bai would need at least three to five days, or even over ten days, to heal his son. Yet unexpectedly, Fang Bai had left the Manor Master Hall in just a few hundred breaths’ time.

From the expression on Fang Bai’s face, Huang Canghai knew his son’s life was certainly out of danger, and the heavy weight in his heart was temporarily lifted.

The only thing that made Huang Canghai anxious was whether his son’s strength could return to its peak after recovering from his injuries.

After all, for a martial artist, regression in strength instead of advancement is a very painful matter. Huang Canghai feared his son would find it difficult to cope with this blow upon awakening.

"Brother Fang..."

Seeing Fang Bai heading towards the pavilion, Huang Canghai hurriedly strode forward to greet him. As they drew closer, he blurted out, "My son... How is Yuan Qi?"

Fang Bai said, "It’s fine. Your son should wake up by tomorrow morning."

This outcome was far beyond Huang Canghai’s expectations. Suppressing his excitement, he asked again, "Then... Yuan Qi’s cultivation level..."

Fang Bai said, "Your son’s Qi Sea was severely damaged and his meridians were almost completely ruptured. It’s impossible for his cultivation level to fully recover in a short period... It will take at least three to five months!"

Huang Canghai felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing the first part of Fang Bai’s explanation.

In Huang Canghai’s mind, the "short period" Fang Bai referred to could be ten or eight years, or even longer. By that time, even if his son’s cultivation could be restored, he would have missed the golden period for martial artists’ practice. Future progress in the Martial Dao would be increasingly difficult.

However, upon hearing Fang Bai’s last words, Huang Canghai’s eyes suddenly widened in shock. Staring at Fang Bai’s smiling face, once he was sure that Fang Bai was not joking, an impulse to laugh out loud surged within him, yet his eyes were filled with warmth.

Looking at Huang Canghai, whose old tears were streaming down his face, Fang Bai joked with a smile, "Manor Huang, curing your son took a great deal of effort on my part. Considering that, could you possibly give me an extra ten or twenty percent of the Essence Stone Vein?"

Huang Canghai’s expression stiffened, and he wiped his eyes, then let out a loud laugh looking up to the sky, before pointing towards the Manor Master Hall and asking, "Can I go in now and take a look?"

Fang Bai saw him changing the subject and couldn’t help but smile secretly, playfully shaking his head as he said: "Your son is currently at the critical juncture of nearly awakening. If he is startled in the slightest, all previous efforts could be wasted. Therefore, Manor Huang, it would be best for you to personally stand guard here tonight to prevent any mishaps."

Huang Canghai took it seriously and said in a solemn and serious tone, "Very well, from this moment on, I will personally stand guard in front of the Manor Master Hall. As for Brother Fang... Chenyu, Brother Fang will be left in your care. How you wish to arrange for his accommodations is up to you. Take this manor master token; when the over ten thousand disciples of Golden Crow Manor see it, they should obey you as if they were taking orders from me personally."

As he spoke, Huang Canghai flicked a palm-sized token carved from Fire Elemental Stone to Xia Chenyu, then walked over to the front of the Manor Master Hall and sat down cross-legged right in front of the hall’s doors.

With Huang Canghai guarding the Manor Master Hall, unless there were Universe Level masters with perfect cultivation, or even stronger experts sneaking into Golden Crow Manor, no martial artist would dare to approach the Manor Master Hall.

"Chenyu, let’s go."

Fang Bai didn’t linger, and took Xia Chenyu’s small hand to leave.

Just now, inside the Manor Master Hall, Fang Bai had used a wisp of Chaos Origin Energy to rekindle the nearly extinguished lifeforce of Huang Yuanqi. Then, that wisp of Chaos Origin Energy traveled through Huang Yuanqi’s body on its own, repairing his damaged Qi Sea and connecting his severed meridians.

By tomorrow morning, Huang Yuanqi’s injuries would be seventy to eighty percent healed, and then he would wake up naturally. Thus, there was no further need for Fang Bai to remain there.

And Huang Canghai had not inquired about how Fang Bai had healed Huang Yuanqi, nor did Fang Bai tell him.

Which martial artist in the world doesn’t have some unique skills of their own? Similarly, it wouldn’t be easy for anyone to divulge such secrets.

"Where do you want to go?"

Xia Chenyu walked side by side with Fang Bai, her watery eyes tenderly gazing at him as she smiled and shook the Fire Elemental Stone token in her hand, saying, "With this, we can go anywhere we want in Golden Crow Manor without anyone stopping us."

Fang Bai said with a grin, "Do you know where the treasure vault of Golden Crow Manor is? Shall we go take a look? Eh, Golden Crow Manor, after all, is a prestigious institution with nearly ten thousand years of heritage, there must be plenty of good things in the treasure vault. We might even ’borrow’ some things on the way out..."

"..."

Xia Chenyu was momentarily stunned, listening to Fang Bai murmuring to himself, and couldn’t help but laugh lightly, "If we really do that, Manor Huang will surely fight us to the death."

Fang Bai responded, "You have a point! With over ten thousand disciples of Golden Crow Manor, it would indeed be troublesome if they really came after us... Forget it, let’s go check out Eternal Death Zone instead. Half of the Essence Stone Vein beneath it belongs to me; I can’t let others take it away."

Xia Chenyu, who also enjoyed lively excitement, nodded in agreement, "If you want to go, I’ll accompany you. I’m also curious to see what that thousand-mile Flame Elemental Stone Vein looks like!"

The two of them set off without further ado. Holding the token given by Huang Canghai, they faced no obstruction along the way, and quickly left Golden Crow Manor. They then took two Swiftwind Horses from the stables outside the manor and rode them at lightning speed towards the Eternal Death Zone, a thousand miles away.

As for Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu’s departure, Huang Canghai was naturally aware of it, but he wasn’t worried that Fang Bai, taking Xia Chenyu with him, would leave and not return.

Huang Canghai was certain that Fang Bai wouldn’t willingly give up his share of half the Essence Stone Vein beneath Eternal Death Zone, and at this moment, he could only hope to secure his share by joining forces with Golden Crow Manor.
