Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2218: You Have Fists, So Do I!

The immortal might released by Gu He naturally had no effect on Fang Bai.

Even Xiao Ping found it strange, thinking that since Gu He was clearly angry, the following should be an oppressive wave of immortal might, yet she felt no discomfort at all.

However, when she saw the falling leaves not far ahead being lifted into the air and turning into powder, she suddenly understood that all the immortal might released by Gu He was blocked outside by Fang Bai.

Without Fang Bai, she would have faced Gu He’s immortal might directly, and by now she would have been seriously injured.

"To be able to withstand the immortal might of the Ancient Alchemy Master, this Upper Immortal is really formidable!"

Xiao Ping retracted her gaze from Gu He and looked at Fang Bai’s tall back with admiration, mixed with some hope.

She had already offended Gu He, and if Fang Bai were driven away, her situation would be dire. Now she hoped that Fang Bai could establish himself in the cultivation resource exchange market of Ice Emperor City, thus providing her a layer of protection.

"You mean, no matter how many cultivation resources I obtain, I have to give you fifty percent?"

Fang Bai stroked his chin, glanced sideways at Gu He, and asked with a frown.

Gu He nodded and said, "That’s right, fifty percent! Not a bit less!"

"Based on what?"

Fang Bai sneered, "The cultivation resources I obtain, why should I give them to you? Give me a reason at least?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"A reason?"

Gu He clenched his fist, waving it in front of Fang Bai, and said coldly, "In the Immortal Realm, fists represent strength, and my strength is greater than yours. That’s the reason! Do you accept it or not?"

"The Ancient Alchemy Master is so domineering!"

The three alchemists and artifact refiners behind Gu He complimented in unison.

Gu He’s strength might not be much stronger than the three of them, but he was intimately tied to Ice Emperor City. It was precisely because of this that Gu He dared to be so arrogant in this cultivation resource exchange market, and those three alchemists and artifact refiners always followed his lead.

Fang Bai saw the smug look on Gu He’s face and couldn’t help but chuckle silently, shaking his head, "You have fists; I do too! Moreover, your strength may not be stronger than mine. So, no, I don’t accept it!"

"Haha..."

Gu He laughed loudly, "I know you have the ability to challenge beyond your level, but so do I! And you’re at the fourth rank of the Immortal Venerable Realm, but I’m at the fifth! Besides, in this Ice Emperor City, I have the advantage of the right time, place, and people, so no matter what, I’m ahead! On what grounds do you compare with me?"

Hiding behind Fang Bai, Xiao Ping listened to Gu He’s words, and her face turned pale. She thought Gu He made sense; in Ice Emperor City, even if Fang Bai’s cultivation level was equivalent to his, he might still not be able to compete against him.

Fang Bai pouted, shrugged his hands, dismissing, "You talk big, but what’s the use? Every cultivation resource exchange market in the Immortal Realm has its rules, so even if you are stronger than me, you wouldn’t dare to attack me. Otherwise, you’d be breaking the rules. Am I right?"

"You..."

Gu He didn’t expect Fang Bai to be completely unfazed by his threats, squinting at him with an uncertain expression.

"If you dare, come and fight; if not, then get lost! Don’t interfere with my business!"

Fang Bai glanced contemptuously at Gu He and the three immortals with him, then sat cross-legged on the mat behind the stall.

Although Xiao Ping felt scared, she couldn’t help but be deeply impressed by Fang Bai’s disregard for Gu He and the three immortals.

Originally, Fang Bai’s stall required her to actively solicit immortals passing by, but with Gu He and the three immortals not leaving, she dared not leave Fang Bai’s side.

"Do you dare to follow me to the War Immortal Platform in the city for a match? If you can win against me, you will have a foothold in Ice Emperor City thereafter! Otherwise, don’t even think of getting any business!"

Gu He couldn’t attack Fang Bai in the cultivation resource exchange market, so he tried to provoke Fang Bai to battle on the War Immortal Platform.

The War Immortal Platform was a place in Immortal City used to resolve personal feuds; once there, Fang Bai’s life and death would be uncontrollable.

He originally thought that Fang Bai, young and impulsive, would agree under provocation, but Fang Bai didn’t even give him any notice; instead, he closed his eyes, adjusting his breath quietly.

Fang Bai didn’t refuse the challenge, but he wasn’t interested in fighting him.

In Fang Bai’s eyes, killing Gu He was easier than slaughtering a chicken, and running to the War Immortal Platform with him would simply be a waste of time.

It could be said that this was a disdain for the weak.

Gu He clenched his fists, his murderous intent surging, wishing he could punch Fang Bai to death.

"Ancient Alchemy Master, don’t be impulsive!"

"Yes! We can’t break the rules in the exchange market!"

"With our connections and network in Ice Emperor City, it shouldn’t be hard to deal with him!"

The three immortals accompanying Gu He persuaded him in unison.

Gu He had been in Ice Emperor City for a hundred years. As an outstanding alchemist, even the strong ones in Ice Emperor City treated him with respect. When had he ever received such provocation and disdain from Fang Bai?

But he was not someone impulsive and reckless. Suppressing his anger, he pointed at Fang Bai and said "Wait and see," then turned and left with the three immortals who had come with him.

"Upper Immortal, you have offended the Ancient Alchemy Master; this will be a big trouble!"

After Gu He and the three immortals had gone far, Xiao Ping breathed a sigh of relief, then, with a frown, she said to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai opened his eyes to look at Xiao Ping, smiling, "Your trouble doesn’t seem to be small either!"

"Indeed!"

Xiao Ping’s shoulders slumped, her face showed a hint of despair, and she murmured, "Not only is the Ancient Alchemy Master powerful, but he also has extensive connections. Offend him, and I definitely won’t find a foothold in Ice Emperor City in the future. That’s actually a small matter; I’m afraid he’ll bear a grudge and might do away with me."

Seeing that she was badly frightened and her voice was trembling, Fang Bai said, "If you trust me, follow me. With me here, Gu He won’t be able to harm you."

Xiao Ping really wanted to say that he himself couldn’t be guaranteed, then how could he protect her? But thinking that Fang Bai’s intentions were kind, she couldn’t bring herself to voice it, and nodded miserably.

"Do you want cultivation resources? A lot of cultivation resources..."

Fang Bai suddenly asked.

Xiao Ping nodded. Running errands and doing odd jobs for Fang Bai was just to earn some cultivation resources as a reward, useful for her future cultivation.

Fang Bai said, "If you want them, go drum up business! The more cultivation resources I get, the more you’ll receive!"

Seeing that Fang Bai wasn’t worried or scared at having offended Gu He and was even thinking of attracting business, Xiao Ping was even more impressed, thinking, "This Upper Immortal is new here; he has no acquaintances, yet he’s not afraid. What should I fear? At worst, it’ll just mean death!"

Thinking of this, she was not as afraid anymore, so she nodded, stood outside the stall on the street, and began ringing out loudly to attract business for Fang Bai.

Previously, when Fang Bai and Gu He nearly had a confrontation, many immortals in the cultivation resource exchange market had seen it. Unwilling to offend Gu He, they were also afraid of entrusting their painstakingly gathered alchemy and crafting materials to Fang Bai. Under this mindset of avoiding harm, even though Fang Bai’s banners were alluring, no immortals dared approach his stall.

Fang Bai’s stall remained deserted and cold for an entire day, as all the immortals kept their distance.

Though Xiao Ping did exert herself and occasionally called out energetically, her spirit was visibly waning.

"Upper Immortal, there are no customers; what should we do?"

Xiao Ping turned her head to look at Fang Bai, asking helplessly.

With no customers for Fang Bai, it meant she could only receive a small reward, thus her expression bore deep disappointment.
