Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1958: The Legend of Fairy Xuanbing
Shi En met Fang Bai this time and didnβt expect that his cultivation level was already on par with his own. ππΏπππ ππππ¨πππ.ππ π
Shi En also knew that Fang Bai had the ability to challenge those a level higher, thus he speculated that Fang Baiβs combat power now should far surpass his own, and might even exceed that of City Lord Hua Yanqing.
Originally, he thought that after Fang Bai gained immense power and the status of a palace master, he would be like other rapidly rising young powerhouses, arrogant, aloof, and overlooking him from above. However, when the two met, Fang Bai was as warm and friendly as ever, treating him like an old friend, which made Shi En feel greatly comforted.
As they talked, their steps never stopped, walking side by side towards the Palace Master Hall at the top of Qiankun Peak.
"Steward Yang Qiong, who went out to train from Alchemy Immortal City, returned to the City Lord Mansion a few days ago and said she had some news about Qin Yaorao, Miss Qin..."
Shi En whispered as they walked.
Upon hearing this, Fang Bai stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Shi En with a face full of joy, saying excitedly, "Really? Yaorao... where is she now? Is she alright?"
Shi En said, "Steward Yang only heard this from hearsay, got the news from a friendβs words, and did not see Miss Qin in person. Otherwise, she would definitely have passed on word about you to Miss Qin."
Fang Bai showed a regretful expression, sighed, and said, "What a pity..."
After a pause, he continued, "But having news of Yaorao is ultimately a good thing. Elder Shi, please continue."
Shi En nodded and continued, "Friend Fang, do you know of this βFairy Xuanbingβ named Luo Yun?"
Seeing Fang Bai shake his head in confusion, Shi En remembered that he came from the secular world to the three thousand great worlds for not long and didnβt know many famous experts in the three thousand great worlds, so he continued, "This Fairy Xuanbing, Luo Yun, has reached the ninefold Thunder Tribulation Realm, and even a hundred years ago, she was already notorious, being called the foremost ninefold Thunder Tribulation expert of her time, with a power very close to the Demi-Immortal Realm..."
"That Fairy Xuanbing, in her youth, was an exceptionally talented cultivator. She had no sect and was aloof and proud, liking to act alone. It was discovered that she took a new disciple a few years ago, that disciple being named Qin Yaorao, whose age and appearance closely match the Miss Qin you described..."
"After Steward Yang brought back this news to the City Lord Mansion, City Lord Hua immediately sent me to the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace to inform you. I believe this news should be credible."
Fang Bai said upon hearing this, "Regardless of whether the news is true or false, I need to see for myself. If by chance I can find Yaorao because of this, it will ease a burden on my heart. Elder Shi, after you return, please tell Steward Yang that if I find Qin Yaorao, I will properly thank her!"
Shi En smiled and said, "Friend Fang is generous, and Steward Yang will surely be very pleased to hear this."
With Qin Yaorao on his mind, Fang Bai, having gotten news of her, decided to set off soon to find her and asked, "Does this Fairy Xuanbing, Luo Yun, have a place of residence?"
Shi En said, "Itβs said that she always resides at Xuanbing Mountain."
Fang Bai, having traveled through the three thousand great worlds in the past, knew that Xuanbing Mountain lay at the northernmost end of the Western Desolate Continent, separated by a hundred thousand miles of ice sea, facing the Extreme North Continent.
Xuanbing Mountain is the highest place on the Western Desolate Continent, and also the coldest. The peaks there are wrapped in thick snow and ice that never melts for ten thousand years. Cultivators below the Thunder Tribulation Realm did not dare to reside there.
However, because Xuanbing Mountain is near the hundred thousand miles of ice sea, the spiritual energy is extremely pure and rich, thus attracting many Thunder Tribulation experts to seek cultivation resources there, or to go into closed-door cultivation in that area.
However, ever since Fairy Xuanbing settled in Xuanbing Mountain, she designated the five-hundred-mile radius around the Xuanbing Peak she resided on as a forbidden zone. No one was allowed to enter without permission; otherwise, they would face ruthless execution.
Fairy Xuanbing is cold and indifferent, with not the slightest bit of mercy. When she says something, she means it.
It is said that ten years ago, a team of over a hundred people went to find cultivation resources around Xuanbing Mountain, ignoring the stone stele marking the forbidden zone, and forcibly entered the five-hundred-mile forbidden zone set by Fairy Xuanbing, resulting in their complete slaughter by Fairy Xuanbing with a single Xuanbing Sword, not one being spared.
That team of over a hundred were all Thunder Tribulation experts, including several with Sevenfold Thunder Tribulation, with considerable overall strength, thus after that battle, Fairy Xuanbingβs fearsome reputation spread far and wide, and no one dared to rashly offend her or enter the forbidden zone.
Thus, Xuanbing Mountain became a mysterious and terrifying place in the eyes of the many experts in the three thousand great worlds.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace is in the central part of the Western Desolate Continent, while Xuanbing Mountain is at the northernmost end, at least tens of thousands of miles apart.
However, for Fang Bai, such a distance is nothing. To find Qin Yaorao, even if it were hundreds of thousands, or millions of miles, he would still go.
Fang Bai and Shi En entered the Palace Master Hall and took their seats. Soon, Xuan Feng Venerable, Granny Yu, Lu Liyu, Xia Chenyu, and other high-level figures came to meet Shi En, and the host and guests conversed happily.
"Fang Bai has always been worried about Sister Yaorao, and now with news of her, at last he can be somewhat at ease."
Xia Chenyu and Qin Yaorao had known each other in the secular world, and their relationship was very close. Fang Bai worried about Qin Yaorao, and she also felt downcast. Now, upon hearing the news about Qin Yaorao from Shi En, her mood suddenly relaxed and a smile appeared on her face.
In the current Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, the vast majority of disciples address Fang Bai as Palace Master, yet Xia Chenyu and the other women either call Fang Bai by his name or "Brother Fang," never using "Palace Master."
In their eyes, calling him "Palace Master" seemed to create a sense of distance from Fang Bai, lacking any sense of closeness.
"Now that thereβs news of Sister Yaorao, is Brother Fang planning to find her?"
Ye Wumei looked at Fang Bai with her big, charming eyes, showing reluctance in her gaze.
She knew that upon knowing Qin Yaoraoβs news, Fang Bai would not stay in the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace for long, wishing he could set off immediately to bring Qin Yaorao back.
Lately, Fang Bai was busy overseeing the cultivation of palace disciples, so he didnβt spend much time alone with Ye Wumei and the other women. Therefore, not only Ye Wumei but also the other women felt reluctant about his impending departure.
But Qin Yaorao was like a sister in their hearts, so they naturally hoped that Qin Yaorao could reunite with everyone in the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace. Even if they were reluctant to see Fang Bai leave, they still expressed support for him in his search for Qin Yaorao.
"Itβs urgent, Iβll head to Xuanbing Mountain first thing tomorrow. The Emperorβs Palace, leave it to the Supreme Elder to look after for now."
Just as Ye Wumei expected, Fang Bai, upon learning news of Qin Yaorao, immediately decided to set off the next day to bring her back.
"Palace Master, can the four of us go with you?"
Rou Fu asked softly.
