Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 909: Pushing Things Too Far
Chapter 909: Chapter 909: Pushing Things Too Far
A young martial artist with such potential, yet suffering from amnesia and becoming homeless, was indeed a matter for sighs.
"This Fang Bai has considerable strength and immense potential. Wouldn’t it be great if we could have him stay in Liuhu Village?"
Liu Qi’s heart suddenly stirred, and he exchanged a glance with his father, Liu Poshan. The father and son communicated silently for a moment, then nodded together.
Liu Qi cleared his throat and asked, "Brother Fang, do you have any plans after your injury heals?"
"Any plans?"
Fang Bai thought for a while, then shook his head dejectedly and sighed, "I don’t know..."
Liu Qi said, "In that case, why don’t you stay in Liuhu Village for a while? When you have recovered your memory, it won’t be too late to leave. What do you think?"
"It seems like the only option..."
Under the hopeful gazes of Liu Qi and Liu Poshan, Fang Bai frowned in thought for a moment, then finally nodded and said.
Liu Qi and Liu Poshan were overjoyed. As long as Fang Bai was willing to stay, living in Liuhu Village for a long time would inevitably build some emotional ties. Even if he recovered his memory in the future, he would remember this kindness and look after Liuhu Village.
That very noon, Liu Poshan, the village chief of Liuhu Village, set up several tables of food and drink in his courtyard to welcome the martial artists who had entered the mountains and also to welcome Fang Bai as a member of Liuhu Village.
Liu Qi personally slaughtered several Red Fire Chickens and Snow Jade Rabbits to make a rich broth, while Liu Poshan took out some of his cherished liquor to feast and drink merrily with the villagers.
The Heaven and Earth Origin Energy in the True Martial Realm was much more abundant than in the Secular World where Fang Bai had been before. Outside the village, in the great Dashan, the Essence Energy was even more pure and dense. Red Fire Chickens and Snow Jade Rabbits that had grown while bathing in the Origin Energy of the mountain wilderness, whether roasted or stewed, were delicious and favored by martial artists.
The precious delicacies that Liu Poshan brought out were brewed from some flowers and fruits from the mountains. Although these were not Spiritual Medicines, they grew in the nourishing Origin Energy, and after being turned into liquor, they had a significant effect on strengthening the body and improving health.
The ordinary villagers of Liuhu Village occasionally drank such fine liquor; each was in robust health, free from sickness and disaster, and the vast majority of villagers lived well beyond a hundred years.
After the feast dispersed, Liu Qi personally arranged for Fang Bai to stay in a small courtyard inside the village.
The courtyard consisted of three stone houses, which were rather simple but were considered the best constructions in Liuhu Village.
The fact that Fang Bai was given this courtyard, which was usually reserved for important guests, indicated the importance the villagers of Liuhu Village placed on him.
In the following days, Fang Bai focused on cultivation in the small courtyard, his injuries healed rapidly, and after the scars fell off, his skin was not only free of any marks but also appeared fairer and more delicate than before, to the envy of Liu Qingqing who came to visit her.
Liu Qingqing and her brother Liu Liehu were close in age to Fang Bai and got along well with him. So, when the brother and sister had some free time, they frequently visited Fang Bai in the small courtyard to chat, and sometimes they took him to play by the great lake at the southern edge of the village.
Liu Poshan and Liu Qi watched with joy in their hearts, thinking that having fostered a good relationship with Fang Bai, it would bring many benefits to themselves and to Liuhu Village in the future.
By the third day, Fang Bai’s injuries had completely healed, and his cultivation level seemed to have improved somewhat following the incident.
With his injuries healed, Fang Bai spent more time outside. His gentle demeanor and courteous ways quickly endeared him to the villagers of Liuhu Village. In just a few days, he had earned the good opinion of almost every villager, who came to regard him as one of their own. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Liu Poshan and Liu Qi had not been seen for several days. Fang Bai heard from the siblings Liu Liehu and Liu Qingqing that they had exchanged the Red Fire Chicken and Snow Jade Rabbit they had hunted for some Essence Stones and Elixirs, then went into seclusion to cultivate.
Liu Poshan and his son were both at the Earth Level Perfection realm and had been striving to break through to the Heaven Level Realm. However, limited by their own talents and the lack of cultivation resources, they had been unable to advance.
Around the lake, including Liuhu Village, there were more than a dozen large and small villages, with many of them having Heaven Level Martial Artists in residence. Liuhu Village, on the other hand, only had Liu Poshan and Liu Qi, two Earth Level Perfection Martial Artists, and as such, they were often subjected to the bullying of Martial Artists from other villages.
Just a few months ago, Martial Artists from the neighboring Shi Village, upon learning that Liuhu Village’s Martial Artists had reaped a bountiful harvest in the mountains, ambushed them on their way back, injured many Martial Artists of Liuhu Village, and seized all the cultivation resources.
This incident infuriated all the villagers of Liuhu Village. Liu Poshan, the village head, led the village’s Martial Artists to Shi Village to reason with them, but conflict ensued. Without a Heaven Level Martial Artist, they were soundly defeated. Liu Poshan and his son Liu Qi were seriously injured and had to be carried back to the village, where it took more than two months for their injuries to heal.
Because of this, the villagers of Liuhu Village all harbored deep resentment. The Martial Artists in the village trained even harder in their cultivation, hoping that one day a Heaven Level Martial Artist, or even more, would emerge to protect the villagers from further humiliation.
Whenever Fang Bai talked about the incident with Liu Liehu and Liu Qingqing, the siblings would clench their fists tightly, their faces filled with indignation, denouncing the Martial Artists from Shi Village as excessively oppressive.
Fang Bai simply smiled faintly in response, for he knew that this was the rule of the Martial Dao World, where the strong are revered, and the weak are despised, the same everywhere.
To change this situation, one must continuously improve their cultivation level, strengthen their own power, and earn respect with their fists.
After his recovery, Fang Bai also began to consider his own cultivation.
Fang Bai was presently without any cultivation resources. Fortunately, Liuhu Village was protected by Dashan, a mountain range said to be rich in Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Beasts, which represented a treasure trove to Fang Bai.
"It’s bad! The Martial Artists from Shi Village are here again!"
That morning, while Fang Bai was cultivating in the small courtyard, he suddenly heard panicked shouts from children in the eastern part of the village.
Upon hearing the words "Martial Artists from Shi Village," Fang Bai’s heart stirred, and he extended his Divine Sense to discover a group of about fifteen Martial Artists in black robes swiftly approaching Liuhu Village.
The black-robed elder at the front had half-white hair and whiskers, was not tall, and had a lean figure with narrow eyes and a hooked nose. Based on the Essence Energy fluctuations emitted from his body, he was a Heaven Level Realm Martial Artist.
The dozen or so people following the black-robed elder were all Earth Level Realm Martial Artists.
The group of black-robed Martial Artists briskly walked to the open space at the eastern end of Liuhu Village and stopped, pointing around the village and wearing disdainful, arrogant smiles on their faces.
