Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1988: Thunder Essence Immortal Pill?
Fang Bai remembered that within the Leiyun Mountain Range, there was a Burial Artifact Peak.
Originally, the Burial Artifact Peak was just an ordinary mountain in the Leiyun Mountain Range. Over the millennia, strong cultivators often fought battles on that peak, and the spiritual artifacts of the fallen remained there.
Over time, the number of spiritual artifacts there exceeded ten thousand, hence it was named Burial Artifact Peak.
Before flying to the Immortal Realm in the past, Fang Bai once visited the Burial Artifact Peak, hoping to find a cherished treasure, but left disappointed.
Because at that time, although there were many spiritual artifacts left on the Burial Artifact Peak, the best were merely superior royal-grade artifacts, which were of no assistance to Fang Bai anymore.
At this moment, thousands of strong cultivators were gathering from all directions, including Great Calamity Period Experts at the Thunder Tribulation Realm. Fang Bai thought their objective couldn’t just be the spiritual artifacts on the Burial Artifact Peak.
"This Leiyun Mountain Range has a unique geology that easily attracts thunder and lightning. Over thousands of years, it has continually been struck by lightning. Perhaps some treasure is really about to appear; otherwise, why would so many strong cultivators gather?"
Thinking this, Fang Bai extended his Divine Sense to eavesdrop on the movements of the strong cultivators around, hoping to gather some useful information from their conversations.
"Brother Changqing, you came as well?"
"Yes! I heard there’s a treasure appearing in the Leiyun Mountain Range. How could I miss that?"
"Brother Changqing, do you know what treasure is appearing?"
"It’s said to be the Thunder Essence Pill!"
"Thunder Essence Pill? What kind of treasure is that? Even a superior royal-grade high-ranking Thunder Essence Pill is not a rarity in the eyes of us Great Calamity Period cultivators at the Thunder Tribulation Realm!"
"Ha, I missed a word earlier. It’s said to be the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill!"
"Im... Immortal Pill? The legendary Immortal Pill?"
"Whether it’s an Immortal Pill, I only heard rumors. I came to the Thunder Tribulation Immortal Meridian this time just to verify the truth of the news!"
"If it truly is an Immortal Pill, then the Leiyun Mountain Range will definitely witness a bloody storm!"
"If I could consume an Immortal Pill, even if I can’t ascend to the Immortal Realm, my strength would certainly greatly increase!"
"Just right, my cultivation technique is thunder-based. If the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill really exists, I must compete for it this time no matter what!"
"The Thunder Essence Immortal Pill may not be useful for my cultivation, but it can be exchanged for a massive amount of cultivation resources! I might get involved as well!"
...
Fang Bai heard the conversation between two strong cultivators several miles away, and his heart stirred upon hearing the words "Thunder Essence Immortal Pill".
Though in the Immortal Realm, Immortal Pills are just ordinary cultivation resources, in this vast universe of three thousand worlds, they are considered legendary treasures, extremely rare.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that any cultivator, no matter how poor their aptitude, stands a great chance of advancement as long as they can withstand the impact of a wisp of immortal power after consuming an Immortal Pill.
There are countless cultivators in the world, with most cultivating the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. However, cultivators of wind and thunder techniques are quite rare.
Especially those practicing thunder-based cultivation techniques, even fewer exist.
In the universe of three thousand worlds, resources that can aid thunder cultivators are exceedingly rare. Due to the lack of related cultivation resources, some thunder cultivators must endure lightning to temper their bodies and challenge the might of heaven and earth to advance in their cultivation.
The benefit of this method is that it can attract a large amount of Thunder Spirit Qi, which is very beneficial for cultivation.
The downside is that inducing lightning to temper the body is akin to crossing a Heavenly Tribulation; it’s very dangerous. With the slightest carelessness, one’s physical body could be destroyed, turning to ashes.
However, among cultivators of the same realm, thunder cultivators have the most formidable attack power and the most astonishing destructive capacity.
Among Fang Bai’s disciples and beloved confidantes, only Dongfang Ruhua possesses an Innate Thunder Spirit Root. Because of this, Fang Bai taught her the Immortal Rank cultivation technique, Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Mantra.
Although Dongfang Ruhua is intelligent and diligent in her cultivation, due to the lack of thunder cultivation resources, her progress in strength isn’t rapid. Otherwise, she might have already surpassed the other beloved confidantes around Fang Bai.
Fang Bai thought if the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill truly appeared within the Leiyun Mountain Range, he couldn’t let it slip away no matter what.
If he could obtain the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill and had spares, he’d keep a few for himself; if there was only one, he would give it to Dongfang Ruhua.
Flood Dragon Venerable, Fairy Xuanbing, and others were also using their Divine Sense to probe the surrounding movements, gathering plenty of information.
"Palace Master, let’s go over and take a look together! No matter what type of Immortal Pill, it’s a treasure!"
Flood Dragon Venerable rubbed his hands together excitedly.
Even the usually aloof and reserved Fairy Xuanbing seemed tempted upon hearing an Immortal Pill might appear.
Immortal Pills are legendary elixirs from the Immortal Realm, containing supreme immortal power, refined with immortal herbs, flowers, and fruits from the Immortal Realm. Consuming them not only extends life but also enhances cultivation. Who among the cultivators of the three thousand worlds can resist such temptation?
Qin Yaorao, Liu Qingqing, Xiao Ying, Shao Qingyun, and Lin Feng, lacking the experience of Fang Bai, Flood Dragon Venerable, and Fairy Xuanbing, widened their eyes in excitement at the mention of "Immortal Pill".
To them, securing an Immortal Pill might be beyond hope, but getting to see it would be satisfaction enough.
"Great! Let’s go have a look!"
Xiao Ying, who loves excitement, clapped her hands and jumped in agreement.
Fang Bai glanced toward the Leiyun Mountain Range and said, "With an Immortal Pill appearing, there will certainly be a large gathering of strong cultivators, and the possibility of fierce battles breaking out is high. Let’s stay low-profile and not pick fights. But there’s no need to fear trouble either!"
He paused, then said to Qin Yaorao, Liu Qingqing, Xiao Ying, Shao Qingyun, and Lin Feng, "If we encounter any dangerous situations in the Thunder Mountain Range, you five must enter the Five Elements Space Ring. That way, we three won’t get distracted."
Fang Bai, Fairy Xuanbing, and Flood Dragon Venerable are all experts at the ninth level of the Thunder Tribulation Realm, capable of handling any dangerous situations. However, the five individuals, including Qin Yaorao, are too weak. If any danger arises, the three of them might not be able to take care of everyone, so they can only put them in the Five Elements Space Ring for safety.
Xiao Ying pouted, seeming somewhat reluctant, and murmured softly, "Brother Fang Bai, can we not go inside? Those two Spirit Beasts in there... they’re a bit annoying!"
Fang Bai knew she was referring to the Bixie Immortal Beast and the Lightning Mink and asked with a smile, "Why do you say they’re annoying?"
Xiao Ying snorted, "That giant Spirit Beast... uh, I don’t know what kind of Spirit Beast it is, but it looks fierce and scary. I feel suffocated in front of it..."
She seemed to recall the fierce appearance of the giant Spirit Beast inside the Five Elements Space Ring and frowned, looking a bit scared.
"And that little mink, at first, it seemed cute, but when I wanted to hold it, not only did it refuse, it growled fiercely at me. It even spoke human words, saying I’m just a little girl new to the Thunder Tribulation stage, unworthy of holding it... so infuriating!"
Xiao Ying recounted with grievance, her mouth pouting high.
