Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 915: Dashan of 100,000
Chapter 915: Chapter 915: Dashan of 100,000
The setting sun cast slanting rays across the lake, creating dazzling, scintillating ripples that resembled golden dragons swimming in the water from a distance.
Under a thick weeping willow on the northern shore of the lake, Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu, two sisters, sat upright on a large, flat rock, solemnly listening as Fang Bai explained the Martial Dao to them from across.
Liu Qingqing possessed an Innate Water Spirit Root, and although Liu Liehu’s aptitude was relatively ordinary, she could also cultivate Water System Techniques. Therefore, just before, Fang Bai had taught both siblings the same set of Martial Arts Techniques, and then went on to explain it to them, sentence by sentence.
The Cultivation Techniques stored in Fang Bai’s mind were as vast as a sea of smoke, numbering in the tens of thousands. Each one, casually taken out, was profoundly arcane for the Martial Artists of the True Martial Realm. Without Fang Bai’s explanations, it would have been difficult for Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu to understand, given their current level of comprehension.
Both Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu were intelligent, especially Liu Qingqing, who, with her innate Spiritual Root, had a superior understanding of Martial Dao. She could grasp Fang Bai’s explanations immediately and integrate them on the spot.
Although Liu Liehu’s talent was somewhat inferior to her sister’s, it was still slightly better than that of an average Martial Artist. Even though she had a hard time grasping Fang Bai’s explanations at the moment, she was determined not to be outdone and would study and ponder on her own later, eventually coming to understand about seventy to eighty percent of it.
The Martial Arts Techniques and the detailed explanations of the Martial Dao Arcane taught by Fang Bai opened a new door for the two sisters, allowing them to glimpse a new realm of Martial Dao. freeweɓnovel-cøm
In the following days, the siblings followed Fang Bai to learn the Martial Dao, receiving his careful guidance and immersing themselves in the profound world of martial arts, intoxicated and inseparable.
Liu Poshan and Liu Qi felt greatly comforted seeing the sisters engrossed in Martial Dao and diligently cultivating.
Especially Liu Liehu, who was considered to have lower talent, Liu Poshan and Liu Qi were unwilling to invest much effort and Cultivation Resources in him, instead focusing the village’s efforts on cultivating Liu Qingqing.
However, seeing Liu Liehu’s current determination, Liu Poshan and Liu Qi began to consider whether they should share some of the Cultivation Resources with him in the future. Even if his achievements wouldn’t match his sister’s, advancing to the Earth Level Realm would still be beneficial.
"I’ve taught you quite a lot, and if there were Cultivation Resources to aid you, maybe you both would have advanced by now..."
That day, after explaining some Martial Dao Arcane to Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu, Fang Bai thought about how, aside from a few Spiritual Artifacts, his Spatial Ring was mostly empty, and he couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle ruefully.
Fang Bai had been in the True Martial Realm for almost ten days now. During the first half of this period, he rested and recuperated; in the latter half, he taught Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu Martial Arts Techniques and had not yet stepped out of the small mountain village.
Now that his strength had fully recovered, and Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu were set on a new path of Martial Dao, his next step was to find a way to procure Cultivation Resources.
When Liu Liehu heard Fang Bai mention Cultivation Resources, he said cheerfully, "Grandpa and Dad said that the village’s Martial Artists are preparing to go into the mountains again tomorrow! As long as they gather Spiritual Medicine and hunt Spirit Beasts to bring back, they can exchange them for Essence Stones and Elixirs at the nearby market..."
He paused, then added, "In the past, the village’s Martial Artists would go into the mountains without taking me and my sister, saying it was too dangerous and they were afraid something might happen to us... Brother Fang, would you take me and my sister with you to follow the village’s Martial Artists into the mountains this time? If you say so, Grandpa and Dad will definitely agree!"
Although Liu Qingqing did not speak, her beautiful eyes looked at Fang Bai, clearly eager to try as well.
They were both teenagers, brimming with passion and possessing a certain level of strength; they were not afraid of any dangers. Had it not been for their grandfather and father’s prohibition, they would have already joined the village’s Martial Artists on their mountain expeditions.
Now that Fang Bai, a powerful figure, was here, as long as he was willing to speak on their behalf, perhaps he could persuade grandfather and father.
Fang Bai thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Alright! You continue your cultivation here, and I’ll go talk to them!"
Saying so, he rose to his feet, leaped down from the rock, and strode towards the small courtyard where Liu Poshan lived.
"That’s great! With Brother Fang helping to speak for us, we can definitely go into the mountain this time!"
Once Fang Bai had walked away, Liu Liehu danced excitedly with his hands and feet and laughed heartily.
Liu Qingqing was clearly very happy too, her eyes curving into crescent moons as she smiled.
Whatever method Fang Bai used, he managed to persuade Liu Poshan and Liu Qi to agree to let Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu join them on their venture into the mountain. However, Liu Poshan instructed them to stick closely to Fang Bai and listen to his words, or else they would face family discipline.
After hearing this news, Liu Liehu was so excited that he howled loudly, audible throughout Liuhu Village, which angered Liu Qi and led him to fiercely scold Liehu.
The next day, dozens of martial artists from Liuhu Village, after holding a solemn blessing ceremony at the village entrance and, under the leadership of Liu Poshan and Liu Qi, equipped with swords, nets, and other items, ventured into the vast Dashan Mountain, escorted by hundreds of villagers.
Fang Bai, Liu Qingqing, and Liu Liehu, being the leading martial artists of Liuhu Village, bore the future of the village on their shoulders; hence, after entering the mountain, the group of martial artists tightly guarded the trio, marching swiftly towards the deeper parts of the mountain region.
The periphery of Dashan Mountain, where human activity was more frequent and the essence energy was thin, lacked both spirit beast activities and the growth of spiritual medicines. Martial artists around the mountain had to venture deep into the mountain to acquire cultivation resources.
However, deep within the mountain, although there were abundant spiritual medicines, it was a paradise for spirit beasts, home to thousands of spirit beasts. There were gentle herbivorous spirit beasts as well as fierce carnivorous ones.
Regardless of whether the beasts were docile or fierce, any invasion into their territory by human martial artists would result in ruthless attacks. Those who were lucky got only chased away, while the unlucky ones ended up as meals for the spirit beasts.
Human martial artists enjoyed hunting spirit beasts, either consuming their meat directly or trading their carcasses for essence stones, elixirs, and other cultivation resources. For the spirit beasts, they similarly relished the martial artists as delightful meals.
Some carnivorous spirit beasts were very skilled at camouflaging themselves. They would lurk in the dense forests of the mountain and actively attack the entering martial artists.
Moreover, with their fierce nature, tough skin, and formidable attack power, human martial artists of equivalent strength could only contend with one spirit beast between two of them.
Therefore, even Heaven Level martial artists seldom acted alone when entering the mountain. They usually moved in groups, small groups of three to five, or as many as dozens, which allowed them to pool their strength. This way, even if they encountered fierce spirit beasts, they had a better chance to fight back.
To pick spiritual medicines or hunt spirit beasts, martial artists had to venture deep into the mountain, and many conducted a blessing ceremony before entering, praying they wouldn’t encounter fierce and powerful spirit beasts.
