Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 997: Why Not Dare?

Fang Bai walked up to Huang Miao and her three companions, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth as he watched them wave their weapons, slicing off all the antlers from the dozens of Antlered Silver Lions and hanging them at their waists.

After harvesting the most valuable antlers from all the Antlered Silver Lions’ corpses at the scene, Huang Miao and the other three gathered around Fang Bai with beaming smiles.

"Junior Brother Fang, once we exchange these for Cultivation Resources, each of us will give you half of our share," Huang Miao said to Fang Bai with a laugh.

Without Fang Bai, they could not possibly have obtained so many precious antlers. That’s why Huang Miao proposed to give Fang Bai half of the Cultivation Resources they would exchange later, a suggestion that the other three unanimously agreed upon.

After all, their haul of so many antlers was almost entirely thanks to Fang Bai alone; even if they gave him half, they still benefited greatly. fгeewebnovёl.com

Fang Bai smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Liu Liehu ran over to the two halves of the iron rod that Fang Bai had discarded, picked them up, and said regretfully, "I found this iron rod very handy to use. I never expected that it would be in two pieces thanks to Senior Brother Tu’s sword. Well, I’ll take the broken rod back and have someone forge it again later."

"Your iron rod was destroyed by me; I’ll give you a better one later," Fang Bai said, patting Liu Liehu on the shoulder.

Liu Liehu’s iron rod was made of ordinary steel. While it seemed formidable, it was prone to damage when faced with weapons made from Hundred Refined Essence Steel. In the clash between Fang Bai and Tu Hu, as the sword and rod struck each other, the rod was not only deeply scarred but eventually snapped in half.

Fang Bai was now capable of refining Spiritual Artifacts, and he planned to forge a rod-shaped Spiritual Artifact to gift to Liu Liehu in the future, which would greatly enhance Liu Liehu’s combat ability.

The iron rod had been with Liu Liehu for many years, and now that it was snapped in two, it was impossible for Liu Liehu not to feel distressed. Hearing that Fang Bai would give him another rod in the future, Liu Liehu immediately cheered up. Knowing Fang Bai’s reputation for generosity, whatever he was to give would certainly not be subpar.

"Junior Brother Fang, how is Senior Brother Tu doing?" Huang Miao glanced toward Tu Hu’s team and casually asked.

"There’s no serious damage; he’ll come around soon," Fang Bai replied.

"That’s good to hear." Huang Miao let out a sigh of relief, a smile forming on her face, thinking that as long as Tu Hu was fine, the grudges between the two sides wouldn’t deepen too severely, leaving room for future reconciliation.

"What shall we do next? Where do we go?" Hou Ziping asked.

Huang Miao and the Liu siblings all looked at Fang Bai, waiting for him to decide.

Fang Bai looked up at the distant undulating mountain ridges and said, "Deeper into the Bitao Mountain Range, there are certainly more treasures to be found. But if we continue forward, we are likely to encounter Spirit Beasts even fiercer than the Antlered Silver Lions. Are you still willing to go on?"

"I’ll follow Brother Fang! As long as Brother Fang moves forward, even if ahead lies a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den, I will follow!" Liu Liehu said loudly, slapping his chest vigorously.

"Yes, wherever Brother Fang goes, that’s where we’ll go!"

Liu Qingqing nodded vigorously.

The siblings had always been Fang Bai’s most loyal followers, even if it meant braving life-threatening dangers, they were willing to take the risk with Fang Bai.

Huang Miao and Hou Ziping exchanged glances, then said in unison, "If Junior Brother Fang dares, why shouldn’t we?"

Their five-member team had faced many dangers together on their journey, forging a deep friendship. Especially after Fang Bai had revealed his astonishing strength, their team’s confidence soared to unprecedented heights, and they were less afraid of the unknown risks ahead.

They also knew that the further they went, the greater the risks—but also the greater the opportunities. If they could harvest a middle-grade Spiritual Medicine or hunt a mid-tier Spirit Beast, it would be far more valuable than the dozens of Antlered Silver Lions’ antlers they had previously collected.

It was said that a mid-tier Spirit Beast’s body contained a Spirit Core, the essence of the beast, extremely valuable and with marvelous effects in both Alchemy and Artifact Refining when added to the process.

And middle-grade Spiritual Medicine could be used to make middle-grade Elixirs.

In the True Martial Realm, even low-grade Elixirs were a rare and expensive Cultivation Resource, let alone middle-grade Elixirs?

While Martial Artists were numerous in the True Martial Realm, it was exceedingly rare to find an Alchemist with the dual attributes of fire and wood, truly a one in a million occurrence.

Such scarcity was why Alchemists held such lofty status in the True Martial Realm and were coveted by all powers.

Among the already rare Alchemists in the True Martial Realm, the vast majority could only concoct low-grade Elixirs. Those capable of making middle-grade Elixirs were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and most chose to live in seclusion, indifferent to worldly affairs.

For common Martial Artists, seeking a middle-grade Alchemist to make a middle-grade Elixir was more difficult than ascending to the heavens.

This illustrated the immense value middle-grade Elixirs held in the True Martial Realm.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the appearance of any bottle of middle-grade Elixir could provoke the greed and attention of tens of thousands of Martial Artists and even spark a bloody conflict.

Therefore, every time a disciple from Bitao Martial Academy went into the mountains for cultivation training, their greatest hope was to harvest a middle-grade Spiritual Medicine or hunt a mid-tier Spirit Beast.

However, a mid-tier Spirit Medicine was usually guarded by a mid-tier Spirit Beast, making it a daunting task to obtain the medicine without dealing with its fierce protector.

Moreover, middle-grade Spiritual Medicine typically grew in the core area of the Bitao Mountain Range, where the greatest number of mid-tier Spirit Beasts resided. Even someone as powerful as Ren Jingbo, the Grand Martial Artist of the Bitao Martial Academy, did not dare to tread lightly in that area.

For Bitao Martial Academy disciples teaming up for mountain training, even with ten members working together, hunting a mid-tier Spirit Beast was fraught with difficulties. It all depended on luck. One wrong move, and they might end up as a feast in the belly of a mid-tier Spirit Beast, their lives lost.

Hence, stumbling upon middle-grade Spiritual Medicine by chance was a more realistic hope than actively hunting a mid-tier Spirit Beast.

Due to the unknown risks ahead, Fang Bai took up the lead with Huang Miao and Hou Ziping covering the rear, keeping Liu Qingqing and her brother Liu Liehu safely in the middle.

With his Divine Sense, Fang Bai could detect Spirit Beast trails within a two-thousand-meter radius. Along the way, he discovered several mid-tier Spirit Beast lairs and led the group on detours to avoid entering the beasts’ territories, preventing several potential battles.

It wasn’t that Fang Bai feared those mid-tier Spirit Beasts; he simply didn’t want to clash with them in front of people like Huang Miao. Doing so would force him to reveal stronger Martial Arts Techniques, surprising Huang Miao and others, and making it difficult to continue living inconspicuously at Bitao Martial Academy.

Fang Bai’s current plan was to collect five middle-grade Spiritual Medicines without engaging mid-tier Spirit Beasts and return to Bitao Martial Academy.

If other cultivation teams knew of Fang Bai’s intention, they would surely think Fang Bai was insane.

Other teams would feel blessed to obtain just one middle-grade Spiritual Medicine together. For Fang Bai to want his team members to each have one was dreamlike to other teams.

However, Fang Bai was full of confidence about it.
