Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2272: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand
Seeing with his own eyes the First Grade Immortal King Realm expert severing one arm to save his life, Qingyun Immortal Venerable felt a chill in his heart. He gained a deeper understanding of the terrifying power of the sparkling demon flames, so he obediently followed Fang Bai, not daring to covet the demon crystals anymore.
However, among the many immortals entering the Demon Flame Crystal Sea, adventurers were never scarce. Although the demon flames could claim lives, they did not scare them away. They teamed up in threes and fives, cooperating with each other—some to restrain the demon flames, others to snatch the demon crystals. Although there were many failures, successes were not lacking.
Successful ones obtained demon crystals as they wished, attracting the attention and envy of other immortals. The outcome for the failures, however, was quite tragic. The lighter consequence was severed limbs to save their lives, greatly reducing their combat power, whereas the heavier consequence was being consumed by the demon flames, leaving only a pile of bones.
"Excuse me, fellow immortal, have you seen my sister... Her honorific title is Qingfeng Fairy, she wears a green dress, her hair is styled in double top-knots, and she’s quite tall..."
On his way, Qingyun Immortal Venerable approached every immortal he encountered, hoping to learn about his sister Qingfeng Fairy’s whereabouts.
The party Qingfeng Fairy was with consisted of ten immortals; it was unlikely that they all ran into danger. Moreover, all ten were extraordinarily beautiful female immortals, making them stand out wherever they went. Qingyun Immortal Venerable believed that as long as any immortal had seen them, they would surely remember.
However, the immortals he inquired focused either on the cultivation resources within the Demon Flame Crystal Sea, showing no interest in his questions, or they shook their heads, indicating they didn’t know, leaving him greatly disappointed.
"This won’t work..."
Fang Bai thought for a moment, took out a bottle of pills, and handed it to him, then whispered a few words in Qingyun Immortal Venerable’s ear.
Qingyun Immortal Venerable glanced at the pill bottle in his hand and couldn’t help but feel excited. He thanked Fang Bai, and as he passed by a group of immortals, he raised the pill bottle high and shouted, "Whoever can tell me my sister’s whereabouts will receive this bottle of medium-grade King Grade Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill!"
Upon hearing "medium-grade King Grade Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill," that group of immortals simultaneously turned their heads to look at Qingyun Immortal Venerable, their gazes immediately falling on the pill bottle in his hand.
A First Grade Immortal King Realm expert flew to Qingyun Immortal Venerable’s side, pointing at the pill bottle and asking, "Is this really a Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill? Medium-grade King Grade?"
Qingyun Immortal Venerable opened the bottle cork, and a whiff of pill fragrance instantly wafted out. He said, "See for yourself whether it’s real or not?"
That First Grade Immortal King Realm expert diffused his divine sense into the pill bottle to take a look, then licked his lips and said with bright eyes, "Who is your sister? What are her characteristics? Quickly tell me..."
The Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill, capable of reversing the Qi Sea and regenerating severed limbs, is an incredibly marvelous Immortal Pill within the Immortal Realm. However, because the main ingredient for this pill is hard to find, and because it’s exceedingly difficult to refine, it is incredibly precious. Ordinary immortals find it hard to obtain even a single pill, let alone a whole bottle.
In the Demon Flame Crystal Sea, if one mistakenly comes into contact with demon flames, they are forced to sever a part of their body. But if they have a medium-grade King Grade Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill, they can regenerate severed limbs. Though the process is extremely slow, for immortals who have lost limbs, it’s an extraordinarily good outcome.
Thus, when Qingyun Immortal Venerable mentioned the "medium-grade King Grade Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill," it immediately caught the attention of that group of immortals.
"As for the Qingfeng Fairy you mentioned... I’ve never seen her..."
After Qingyun Immortal Venerable described his sister Qingfeng Fairy’s features, the First Grade Immortal King Realm expert carefully thought for a moment, then regretfully shook his head.
Qingyun Immortal Venerable noticed the greed in the immortal’s gaze as he looked at the pill bottle in his hand and couldn’t help but become wary.
"My sister is in the Demon Flame Crystal Sea, and it’s not too late for you fellow immortals to look for her now. If you can bring back news of her, this bottle of Immortal Pill is still yours."
Qingyun Immortal Venerable said solemnly.
"In this vast Demon Flame Crystal Sea spanning ten thousand miles, finding an immortal isn’t that easy?"
The First Grade Immortal King Realm expert suddenly stepped forward, approaching Qingyun Immortal Venerable with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. "You, a mere Ninth Grade Immortal Venerable Realm small immortal, carrying such a high-level Immortal Pill, that’s asking for trouble. You better hand it over to me for safekeeping!"
As he spoke, his figure lunged forward, extending a large hand to snatch the pill bottle from Qingyun Immortal Venerable’s hand.
When Qingyun Immortal Venerable came to inquire this immortal about his sister Qingfeng Fairy, Fang Bai wasn’t beside him, staying some distance away. Hence, this immortal thought he was alone. Seeing that he wasn’t an Immortal King Realm expert, he became tempted to seize the pill bottle.
Seizing a bottle of medium-grade King Grade Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill would be an unexpected windfall. The immortal thought that if he didn’t take action, sooner or later another immortal would, so he decided to strike first before others could. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"You..."
Qingyun Immortal Venerable had been secretly guarding against him. Seeing him indeed attempt to rob, he shouted angrily and rapidly retreated.
"Hand it over!"
The immortal was determined to get the pill bottle. How could he let him escape? His arm suddenly extended several feet, grabbing Qingyun Immortal Venerable’s wrist holding the pill bottle.
"Haha... uh..."
The immortal was about to laugh triumphantly into the sky, but abruptly stopped, as if he had seen something terrifying. His eyes rounded, his soul seemingly flying out of his body.
Clusters of demon flames, glowing a dim yellow, appeared around him at some unknown moment, no more than two feet from his body. These demon flames flickered incessantly, as if the eyes of death were fixed upon him, ready to pounce and devour him at any moment.
His body stiffened, not daring to move, his clothing soaked by the cold sweat constantly pouring out.
He didn’t know what was happening or why these fearsome demon flames had appeared around him.
"If you don’t want to die, let him go!"
Fang Bai slowly walked over, indifferently looking at the immortal grasping Qingyun Immortal Venerable’s wrist, and said.
The First Grade Immortal King Realm expert glanced at Fang Bai, seeing mockery, disdain, contempt, and a trace of killing intent in his eyes.
He believed that if he didn’t let go, the clusters of damned demon flames would, in the next moment, descend upon him and claim his life.
"These demon flames must have something to do with him!"
A wise man knows when to retreat from danger. The First Grade Immortal King Realm expert immediately released his grip, then looked at Fang Bai, pleading, "Upper Immortal, spare my life..."
Fang Bai ignored him and turned to leave.
As he turned, the demon flames surrounding the First Grade Immortal King Realm expert slowly drifted away.
"Phew..."
Having narrowly escaped death, the First Grade Immortal King Realm expert exhaled deeply, feeling his legs go weak, almost collapsing to the ground.
"To be able to control demon flames, truly a terrifying immortal..."
The First Grade Immortal King Realm expert wiped the sweat from his forehead, still frightened, as he watched Fang Bai’s distant back.
In this Demon Flame Crystal Sea, an immortal capable of controlling the demon flames could roam unchallenged, couldn’t they?
"If I encounter this immortal again in the future, the further away, the better!"
The First Grade Immortal King Realm expert secretly thought.
