Urban Romantic Divine Doctor-Chapter 1486 - 1483: Public Apology to Xu Wendong

Seeing Wang Tong approach with a fawning expression.

Xu Wendong and Lu Shuling both felt a surge of contempt and disdain.

Evidently, they didn’t expect Wang Tong to back down so quickly.

It was clear.

He knew that Xu Wendong was about to apprentice under Han Hexiang to learn the Alchemy Technique.

He simply didn’t dare to offend Xu Wendong.

"Junior Brother Xu, it was my fault before. I’m here to apologize publicly and hope you can forgive my previous disrespect," Wang Tong said with a smile, taking out a Storage Bag and placing it respectfully before Xu Wendong. "This is a token of my sincerity; I had planned to visit and make amends after breakfast."

"Since we’ve met here, there’s no need to disturb you by visiting."

"Furthermore,"

"I’ve already registered your information, and your identity Dragon Talisman is also in the Storage Bag."

"Well, I won’t disturb you any longer, farewell." He bowed and retreated, appearing very humble, but there was a fleeting cold glint deep in his eyes.

This made the surrounding diners start to murmur among themselves.

Everyone knew that Wang Tong relied on being the captain of the City Defense Camp to parade his power, often bullying the common folk, not caring for ordinary people at all.

Yet now, he was groveling to an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator.

How could this not be shocking?

Watching Wang Tong’s departing figure, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but say, "I thought Wang Tong would play some tricks, didn’t expect him to back down so soon."

Lu Shuling nonchalantly said, "Although Wang Tong is arrogant and overbearing, he’s not stupid. Otherwise, he couldn’t have become the captain of the City Defense Camp."

"He must have weighed the pros and cons."

"Even if he has backing from masters in the Array Formation Hall."

"However, the Alchemy Hall supplies Elixirs for everyone’s Cultivation."

"They have to consider the consequences of angering the Alchemy Hall."

Xu Wendong nodded slightly.

Although Lu Shuling’s words made sense.

He vaguely felt that the matter wasn’t that simple.

However.

When soldiers come, we block; when water comes, we cover with earth.

As long as he can establish himself in the Underground City, he’s not afraid of the other party.

His Soul Force poured into the Storage Bag, and his eyes lit up, he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Wow, Wang Tong is really generous, he actually took out ten thousand Immortal Stones and twenty Thousand-Year Elixirs."

Although he hadn’t obtained residence rights in the Underground City before, he knew that one Immortal Stone could be exchanged for one Contribution Point, and these ten thousand Immortal Stones were quite a hefty sum!

Lu Shuling smiled and said, "Let’s eat first. After breakfast, I’ll take you to see if there are any tasks suitable for you."

Xu Wendong nodded excitedly.

He now had residence rights in the Underground City and could take on tasks to earn Contribution Points.

As long as he could earn a million Contribution Points, he could inquire about the whereabouts of Xu Fan and others.

After the meal.

Lu Shuling took Xu Wendong to the foot of a Spiritual Mountain.

The Tianji Pavilion was situated at the misty peak of the Spiritual Mountain.

It seemed like a Secret Realm within the heavens and earth, enveloped in endless mystery and solemnity.

The building was ancient yet magnificent, with green bricks and dark tiles that exuded the weight of time, each brick and tile containing ancient wisdom and secrets.

Dragons and phoenixes were carved on the pavilion’s eaves, lifelike, as if they could soar into the Nine Heavens at any moment.

All around, a light fog hovered, appearing and disappearing, like nature’s most exquisite barrier, isolating the mundane from this Holy Land.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting mottled light and shadows, draping the Tianji Pavilion in a golden veil, adding an air of inviolable sanctity.

Upon entering the pavilion, a faint sandalwood fragrance greeted the senses, calming the mind.

The hall was tall and spacious, in the center hung an ancient Celestial Diagram, with stars swirling as if probing the mysteries of the universe, foreseeing future changes.

"It’s so grand."

"I never expected that in the Underground City, there would be such a majestic Spiritual Mountain and such a grand building complex!"

"This is truly breathtaking!" Xu Wendong’s heart couldn’t calm down.

That there was a city underground, he could just barely accept.

But.

Besides the city, there was also a Spiritual Mountain, which was truly baffling.

After entering the great hall of the Tianji Pavilion.

A white curtain of light appeared in front of them, with emerald green text flashing on it. Those texts were the tasks released by the Tianji Pavilion, clearly marked with the task name, difficulty, and value.

The tasks were divided into nine levels.

Level 1 being the weakest, and offering a very meager payment, the reward for a Level 1 Task is ten Contribution Points.

Although the reward wasn’t high, the danger level of a Level 1 Task was almost zero.

For example, Xu Wendong previously went out with Lu Shuling to gather herbs, which were Level 1 Tasks. As long as the task was completed, ten Contribution Points could be earned.

At first glance, it might not seem much, but an individual could take on ten tasks at once.

Calculated this way, the proceeds from one outing could be quite substantial.

Of course.

The danger level of Level 9 Tasks was the highest, with a slim chance of survival.

However.

The reward was particularly, particularly tempting.

Completing an expansion task could earn two hundred thousand Contribution Points.

"Shuling, what does expansion mean?" Xu Wendong looked at Lu Shuling with curiosity, especially enticed by the task named "expansion".

Because to him, completing just five "expansion" tasks could earn a million Contribution Points, allowing him to have the Tianji Pavilion investigate the whereabouts of Xu Fan and others.

Lu Shuling explained, "Back when the Other Races invaded the Immortal Realm, our Beautiful Rivers and Mountains were occupied by them, forcing the Human Race to hide in the Underground City."

"The expansion task is about exploring the surrounding unclaimed areas, and once it’s ensured there are no nests of Other Races, planting a Formation Flag in the area."

"When the Formation Flags cover the entire Immortal Realm, the Infinite Life Formation can be activated. It’s said that this formation was set by a Saint before their fall, with terrifying power, aiding our Human Race to reclaim lost Beautiful Rivers and Mountains."

Xu Wendong further asked, "What if there are nests of Other Races in the unclaimed area?"

Lu Shuling: "That’s also the biggest challenge of the task. If there are nests of Other Races, the Formation Flag cannot be planted in the area, and the nests must be destroyed first."

"However, there’s only one person from our Underground City who planted a Formation Flag in the southwestern unclaimed area."

"That would be Lord Immortal King."

"Lord Immortal King battled with powerful beings of Other Races for ten days and nights, ultimately destroying the Demon Cave, but he was seriously injured and has been recuperating ever since." As she spoke, her eyes revealed a sense of awe.

The strength of the Immortal King was beyond doubt.

For once one becomes an Immortal Monarch level powerhouse, they can hold a position in the Palace of the Polestar.

To put it bluntly.

The Immortal King was the mightiest force in the entire land.

Knowing the difficulty of the "expansion" task, Xu Wendong felt a sense of bitterness in his heart.

If even the Immortal King was heavily injured while executing the "expansion" task, how could he, with his Earth Immortal Realm Cultivation Level, complete such a high-risk task?

At this moment.

Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up, he looked at the light curtain in front, a subtle smile appeared on his face: "This Level 4 Task seems quite suitable for me."
