Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 882: Advancement, Surging Essence Realm!

Two spirit beasts guarding the same Spiritual Medicine at once was a rarity in both the Cultivation World and the Immortal Realm in Fang Bai’s previous life, which highlighted the preciousness of the "Earthcore Icefire Lotus."

The Red Blood Fury Frog and the Dark Ice Serpent grew stronger by absorbing the Essence Energy released from the "Earthcore Icefire Lotus." They considered the "Earthcore Icefire Lotus" their forbidden prize and would not allow any foreign creature to touch it.

The appearance of Fang Bai enraged these two small yet immensely powerful spirit beasts. Dozens of Red Blood Fury Frogs and Dark Ice Serpents surged out of the pond, attacking Fang Bai, intending to kill him.

The Red Blood Fury Frogs and the Dark Ice Serpents moved as swiftly as bullets, too fast for the naked eye to track. Their forms trailed dozens of Water Element Qi and Fire Primordial Qi trails that interwove, forming a massive net that enveloped Fang Bai.

As the piercingly cold Water Element Qi and the scorching Fire Primordial Qi streaked through the air, they emitted a piercing "hissing" sound, even stirring up waves in the very space.

If Wu De had been there, facing these entwined trails of Water Element Qi and Fire Primordial Qi, he would have felt as though half of his body was in a furnace and the other half plunged into an ice cave, experiencing a bitter taste of both fire and ice that was far from enjoyable—it could devour a life in an instant.

Of course, Fang Bai was not Wu De; he was far stronger than any Heaven Level Martial Artist, and his Chaos True Body was impervious to all poisons. Although the Red Blood Fury Frogs and the Dark Ice Serpents were formidable, they were no match for Fang Bai, posing no threat to him at all.

Faced with the sudden attack of the two highly poisonous spirit beasts, Fang Bai was slightly shocked but remained unflustered. Seeing dozens of Red Blood Fury Frogs and Dark Ice Serpents shooting towards him in an instant, his first reaction was to use the "Dragon Soaring to the Heavens" movement technique, rapidly retreating backwards.

As he retreated, the Essence Energy inside Fang Bai’s body circulated wildly. Raising both hands simultaneously, dozens of silver needles, thin as hairs and flickering with a faint silver light, shot out from between his fingers.

Each silver needle carried a strand of unstoppable Golden Essence Energy, targeting a Red Blood Fury Frog or Dark Ice Serpent.

Although Fang Bai’s realm had not yet reached the point where he could release Essence Energy to injure enemies from afar, he was always equipped with many silver needles and other hidden weapons, which he could use as long-range offensive weapons when necessary.

It may have seemed like just small silver needles, but in Fang Bai’s hands, they exhibited tremendous power, far surpassing bullets.

Thud—

Thud—

Thud—

In the incessant sounds, dozens of silver needles penetrated the bodies of the Red Blood Fury Frogs and Dark Ice Serpents.

The Essence Energy carried by the silver needles, as they passed through the bodies of the Red Blood Fury Frogs and Dark Ice Serpents, generated immense destructive power, instantly tearing apart the bodies of these mini spirit beasts, turning them into a rain of blood.

The blood of the Red Blood Fury Frogs and Dark Ice Serpents, both highly poisonous, fell on the surrounding ground and corroded the steel-hard rocks into pitted patterns, emitting wisps of green smoke.

After dealing with the dozens of Red Blood Fury Frogs and Dark Ice Serpents guarding the "Earthcore Icefire Lotus," Fang Bai moved closer to the edge of the pond. Walking from the ice-covered side to the center of the pond, he carefully reached out and plucked the "Earthcore Icefire Lotus."

Upon acquiring the "Earthcore Icefire Lotus," Fang Bai felt both cold and hot Essence Energy surge into his body through his palms. Had it not been for his special constitution, the Chaos True Body, he would hardly have been able to withstand the sudden influx of two oppositely natured Essence Energies, thinking to himself that it truly was an extraordinary millennia-old Spiritual Medicine.

Once the "Earthcore Icefire Lotus" was plucked, the water in the pond no longer boiled or froze and became just like normal water.

Fang Bai held the "Earthcore Icefire Lotus" and admired it for more than a dozen breaths before swallowing the petals one by one. He then sat cross-legged in the middle of the pond and began cultivating with the power of the spiritual medicine.

Unlike other spiritual medicines, the "Earthcore Icefire Lotus" must be consumed within dozens of breaths after picking, otherwise, its petals will wither and lose their efficacy.

Moments later, Fang Bai’s skin turned bright red, and even tiny beads of blood seeped from his body while the water in the entire pond began to boil vehemently.

After another moment, Fang Bai’s skin turned pitch black, and his body seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. The water in the pond was once again frozen over.

The skin of Fang Bai’s body kept changing like this; the pond’s water alternately boiling and freezing, repeatedly, until two hours later, when everything returned to normal.

Fang Bai, like an old Buddha in meditation, continued to sit cross-legged in the pond.

Another two hours passed, and Fang Bai’s body suddenly trembled a few times as if struck by lightning.

Immediately after, a violent aura burst forth from Fang Bai as the center, rapidly spreading outwards. The affected water in the pond exploded violently, splashing in all directions.

"Haha, I’ve finally reached the Surging Essence Realm!"

Fang Bai leaped high up from the pond and landed on the ground outside, his face brimming with ecstatic joy, and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Just a short while ago, Fang Bai had just advanced his cultivation to the Refinement Essence Realm. He thought that advancing to the higher Surging Essence Realm would require more time and specific opportunities. However, his trip to the Polar Ice Palace brought him such a marvelous opportunity, allowing him to break through several minor realms in one go and reach the Surging Essence Realm.

For Fang Bai, the Surging Essence Realm was an important watershed in the Martial Dao.

Because after advancing to the Surging Essence Realm, he could project his True Yuan outward, allowing him to attack from a distance and injure opponents through the air, greatly enhancing his combat power.

Also, upon entering the Surging Essence Realm, Fang Bai officially began his path of Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

With the aid of a thousand-year-old "Earthcore Icefire Lotus," Fang Bai had achieved a breakthrough spanning an entire major realm, surpassing his expectations and understandably filling him with immense joy.

In his ecstasy, Fang Bai couldn’t help but let out a long howl to the sky, his howl imbued with the power of Essence Energy, making the entire underground space tremble with its vibration.

"Damn, what is this guy howling about down there? Could it be that he found some incredible treasure? No way, when he comes up, I must ask him carefully. We agreed to split any good finds evenly..."

Wu De, who was mining Essence Stones between the cracks, jumped at Fang Bai’s howl and muttered to himself.

From Fang Bai’s howling, he sensed some excited and agitated undertones, convinced that Fang Bai had made a significant discovery.

After more than four hours of mining, Wu De’s Spatial Ring was filled with Essence Stones, most of which were the Earth Element Stones and Golden Essence Stones needed for his cultivation.

With a bountiful harvest from the trip to the Antarctica Continent, Wu De was also very pleased. Once his Spatial Ring was stuffed with Essence Stones, he sprang to the top of the crack, sat down cross-legged, and waited for Fang Bai to surface.
