The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 926 - 507: Don’t Think You’ve Won

"Even if you came, think about it." Yan Xiaobao smiled and realized clearly that everyone was listening, but he couldn't care less. On his shoulder, Huli looked at Xiao Ning with interest.

"When I heard you reached Saint rank, I had to rush over." he said. He seemed unaware of the world around him, or he simply hadn't noticed that the conversations in the hall had become quieter than usual. Some people were deliberately murmuring, pretending to talk, but they weren't saying anything important. Everyone listened attentively, as they all wanted to know how Yan Xiaobao, who had just become a Saint, had the ability to cross ranks.

"Hey, is that the fox you found in the tomb?" Xiao Ning asked, and Yan Xiaobao nodded. The two began to talk about their experiences in the tomb, with Ye Ling, Zhu Jun, and Lou Qiang joining them. They brought with them storage stones filled with herbal medicine.

"We wanted to give this to you, finally achieving Saint rank." Ye Ling spoke. "But, unfortunately, we couldn't find anything that perfectly matched with you. In the end, we decided to use herbal medicine. As an Alchemist, we figured you could always use herbs. The assorted plants mostly came from the tomb and some rare ones that we consumed from treasury bonds."

Hearing their words, Yan Xiaobao was moved. These three had experienced a lot with him. Initially, he had intended to kill them, but now he was glad he hadn't. It turned out they were true friends and valued him greatly.

When he looked at the door, frowning for a moment while the four Saints he collaborated with in the tomb were speaking, someone entered, and he was surprised to see it was Rong Liang, the father of the Rong twins.

"Yan Xiaobao!" he shouted excitedly. Despite the last time Yan Xiaobao saw him was as a King, it was clear that this was no longer the case. His aura was very similar to Yan Xiaobao's, and he was obviously a Saint. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Lord Rong!" Yan Xiaobao exclaimed in surprise, his voice filled with joy. He was happy to see the City Lord, as he had not seen him since he left Liluo City long ago.

"How did you come here?" he asked curiously, looking at the old man with whom he had spent so much of his life.

"I came here to visit my children. Long ago, I also hoped to meet you, but I heard you had entered closed training. I was really shocked when I heard you broke into the Saints Team!" Rong Liang was truly excited. His eyes were full of pride, and his laughter echoed throughout the room.

Yan Xiaobao was slightly surprised to see every Saint in the room looking at Rong Liang with astonishment. Their fear was something Yan Xiaobao didn't understand.

Suddenly, the City Lord of Muchuan City got some courage and walked towards Yan Xiaobao and Rong Liang. Bowing so deeply that he nearly fell to the ground, the City Lord finally opened his mouth. "Lord Rong, I would never have thought you would have such a close relationship with our Yan Xiaobao. Can you tell us what the relationship between the two of you is?"

Seeing their treatment towards Rong Liang, Yan Xiaobao felt surprised and shocked. He knew Rong Liang, but he only knew him as the City Lord of Liluo City, yet it seemed he had another job.

"Haha, Yan Xiaobao is like a foster child of my family." Rong Liang laughed, as his words echoed throughout the room, somehow sounding like a threat. Even while Yan Xiaobao and Xiao Ning continued to chat, people were still whispering, but now no one spoke a word. Everyone focused on the two City Lords and the newly ascended young Saint.

"I... I understand." the Mayor of Muchuan City squeaked before turning to leave. Rong Liang watched as everyone stared at those who looked like frightened rabbits. Seeing this, each of them turned their heads to chat with the person closest to them.

"I suppose you are curious why they treat me that way." Rong Liang laughed and said, and Yan Xiaobao couldn't help but nod with a frown. The fox on his shoulder was constantly watching Rong Liang. Her claws embedded in Yan Xiaobao's shoulder, she glared at the old man filled with hostility.

"I have another job, not just being the City Lord of Liluo City." he admitted with a smile on his face. "After becoming a Saint, my job is to enlighten new Saints about the truths of this world." he said mysteriously, making Yan Xiaobao curious.

"My job is to inform Saints that, although they are powerful in our world, there is another world beyond. A world where God reigns supremely." Rong Liang spoke as if Yan Xiaobao had never heard of gods or other worlds, he understood because the Rong twins had never told Rong Liang about his life. Rong Liang didn't know Lan Feng at all, nor did he realize Yan Xiaobao's resentment towards An Hee.

"The Holy Level isn't the highest level you can achieve. After reaching the Holy Land, a new world will open for you, and my job is to inform every new Saint." Rong Liang said as he looked at Yan Xiaobao. "Like every level before it, God is also ranked first. The first rank is the original immortal stage, followed by the Immortals of Creation. After advancing through these two ranks, you will reach the rank of Sovereign. It is the highest rank you can attain, but it is also possible to become a Champion Monarch. To achieve such a feat, you will need the support of one of the myriad worlds behind you."

"Our world has a ruler, just like other worlds." Rong Liang continued his explanation. "The ruler of our world is called Master An Hee. He is often absent, and figures like us cannot satisfy such an exalted person, but because our world is one of the most important worlds, we actually have the strength to have a Crowned Monarch leading us!" Rong Liang's face was filled with pride, and he didn't even notice Yan Xiaobao's expression.

"I know this truly is a lot of new information for you," Liang Rong continued, "but every Saint is told about this matter."

"Thank you for telling me this." Yan Xiaobao said, a smile on his face, completely hiding his true feelings. "Please stay and enjoy some delicious food." he urged, and Rong Liang nodded, then left the young man, heading towards a nearby table.

The moment Rong Liang walked away, everyone rushed to greet him. It was clear that, even among many Saints now, his rank was quite high, and Yan Xiaobao could not help but be confused. Rong Liang shouldn't have been a Saint for long, so how everyone knew him and treated him with such respect puzzled him. How could these people have known that Rong Liang was in charge of disseminating this information? Their Saints had been around much longer.

Yan Xiaobao shook his head, continuously thinking about it, as he walked towards Rong Ming and Rong Xing. "How are you?" he curiously asked when he saw his first two friends and felt his heart warm. These siblings were very important to the white-haired young man, and he was delighted to chat with them for a long time.

After Rong Liang left, Huli began to behave better. She no longer dug her claws into Yan Xiaobao's shoulder or stared at people.

Instead, she curiously moved back and forth on his shoulder, proudly looking around. She left Yan Xiaobao, wondering if she would fall off, and eventually, she did. She was too eager and slipped off his shoulder, but Yan Xiaobao managed to catch her. Then the fox decided to just lie in his warm embrace.

"Is this the beast you discovered in the tomb?" Rong Xing asked curiously while looking at the fox. Huli spent most of her time in Yan Xiaobao's room and had never really ventured out. Although Rong Xing had seen her once before, it was a long time ago.

"That's her." Yan Xiaobao smiled, petting the soft fur with his hand. "I'm surprised your father is here." he said as he glanced around, noticing Rong Liang still surrounded by a group of Clan Leaders. Many who came to greet Yan Xiaobao and show him respect seemed no longer to be here for him, but for Rongrong's appearance. With a light laugh, Yan Xiaobao couldn't help but find it amusing.

"It's quite a coincidence." Rong Ming laughed. "Father never really visited us before, but this time he truly happened to come during your ascension to Saint. Moreover, we heard he had something important to talk to you about. It was quite coincidental." Frowning, Yan Xiaobao nodded. It was indeed a coincidence, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't deny that Rong Liang's new responsibility might have brought with it some power to know when and where someone becomes a Saint. Without such power, it would be impossible to inform all new Saints of the higher levels.

The celebration continued through the night as more and more people came to congratulate Yan Xiaobao. Some lingered at the front door, while others insisted on personally giving gifts. Seeing how many people had arrived, it was easy to see how significant a role Yan Xiaobao now played in Muchuan City.
