Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor
Chapter 2414: A Long and Arduous Road Ahead
On that day, Fang Bai was arranged to reside in a certain Immortal Hall of Moon Sea Sect, named Wushuang Hall, which would be Fang Bai’s Immortal Residence from now on.
Wushuang Hall is very close to the Sect Master Hall, indicating the Moon Sea Sect’s regard for Fang Bai.
The next day, Moon Sea Fairy summoned Fang Bai in the Main Hall and asked with a smile, "Wushuang Immortal King, I perceive you are a Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root of fire and wood. From what I know, immortals with these two Innate Spiritual Roots have great potential to become Alchemists, with a limitless immortal path. I wonder if Wushuang Immortal King has learned the Alchemy Dao before?"
Moon Sea Fairy had already planned to spare no expense to hire a renowned Alchemist from the nearby Immortal City to teach Wushuang Immortal King the Alchemy Dao, striving to cultivate him into an Alchemist.
If the Moon Sea Sect could have an Alchemist, it would bring unimaginable benefits for the sect’s future development and growth, and Moon Sea Fairy felt it would be worth the cost.
Fang Bai said, "Alchemy Dao? I am already an Alchemist! In some other Immortal Cities in the Immortal Realm, I, Wushuang Immortal King, still have some renown in the field of Alchemy!"
Moon Sea Fairy was momentarily stunned, then apologized with surprise, "So, Wushuang Immortal King is already an Alchemist. I was ignorant, haha!"
Her heart was filled with joy beyond words, unexpectedly finding out Fang Bai was already an Alchemist, which meant that the Moon Sea Sect gained a huge advantage by keeping him as an Elder of Tribute.
As for Fang Bai’s words about having "some renown in Alchemy," Moon Sea Fairy thought dismissively, assuming it was Wushuang Immortal King boasting to impress others.
In Moon Sea Fairy’s impression, which Immortal capable of becoming an Alchemist didn’t have an immortal age of over a thousand years? Even if Wushuang Immortal King was an Alchemist, he likely had just stepped into the Alchemy Dao, with little to no renown to speak of.
"Since I’m a sect tribute of Moon Sea Sect, I have the obligation to refine Immortal Pills for the sect. Therefore, if the sect needs any Immortal Pill, Sect Master, please feel free to let me know. Hmm, for Linghu Fairy, I will do my best. I want her to know that I, Wushuang Immortal King, am capable and worthy of her."
Fang Bai said seriously.
His first two sentences moved Moon Sea Fairy considerably, but the last two changed the mood entirely, leaving her amused and helpless, realizing that making Wushuang Immortal King give up on Linghu Qianjiao was a long and difficult road!
"If possible, can Wushuang Immortal King refine some lower-grade King Grade Marrow Cleansing Pills?"
Moon Sea Fairy pondered for a moment and said, "We have many disciples in the sect with average aptitude, and the Marrow Cleansing Pill can somewhat change their constitution. If aided by the Marrow Cleansing Pill, these disciples’ constitution would improve, which would greatly benefit their future cultivation."
Fang Bai snapped his fingers and said, "No problem! How many Marrow Cleansing Pills does the Sect Master want?"
Moon Sea Fairy counted on her fingers and said, "How about... refining dozens first?"
She wasn’t sure of Fang Bai’s Alchemy Technique, and didn’t dare to ask Fang Bai to refine too many at once, thinking if Fang Bai was a newcomer to the Alchemy Realm with a very low success rate, wouldn’t it waste cultivation resources?
So she planned to provide Fang Bai with a small amount of medicinal materials first, letting him refine them as a test. She didn’t expect Fang Bai’s success rate to reach the level of the renowned Alchemists in the nearby Immortal City; she hoped to achieve half of their success rate at best, and if so, they could supply more medicinal materials later.
Fang Bai, with his perceptive eyes, could naturally see through Moon Sea Fairy’s intentions, smiling and nodding, "Alright."
Soon after Moon Sea Fairy left, a female disciple from Moon Sea Sect came to deliver the medicinal materials needed to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pills.
That female disciple of Moon Sea Sect was the most stunning and talented in the sect. Though she slightly fell short compared to Linghu Qianjiao, she was still a rare beauty among the Female Immortals in the Immortal Realm.
"Wushuang Immortal King, my... my honorific title is Hailan Fairy, and I am the Sect Master’s Direct Disciple. The Sect Master has asked me to stay here to assist you..."
After delivering the medicinal materials, the female Moon Sea Sect disciple didn’t leave. After introducing herself, she stood silently in Wushuang Hall, gazing affectionately at Fang Bai with blushes on her cheeks.
Fang Bai was young and handsome, possessing a Five Grade Immortal King Cultivation Realm, and having a Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root with boundless potential. He had now become an Elder of Tribute in Moon Sea Sect, making him an ideal match for most female disciples of Moon Sea Sect.
Linghu Fairy was not interested in Fang Bai because she had her heart set elsewhere and already had an immortal partner. However, Moon Sea Sect’s female disciples all hoped to have more contact with Wushuang Immortal King, hoping he might give up on Linghu Fairy and turn his affections toward them.
This Moon Sea Sect female disciple, titled Hailan Fairy, was also a Direct Disciple of Moon Sea Fairy, like Linghu Qianjiao, and her appearance and talent among the young generation of female disciples were second only to Linghu Qianjiao.
Moon Sea Fairy intentionally allowed Hailan Fairy to bring the medicinal materials and stay to help, hoping Hailan Fairy’s presence could divert Fang Bai’s attention from Linghu Fairy. Perhaps over time, the relationship between the two young Immortals would deepen.
Moon Sea Fairy thought if Wushuang Immortal King and Hailan Fairy could become a pair, it would be beneficial for both Moon Sea Sect and Linghu Qianjiao.
"Oh... then you can stay! Once I refine the Immortal Pills, you can help me put them into pill bottles."
Actually, Fang Bai refined pills without needing other Immortals’ help, but since Hailan Fairy was there, Fang Bai felt it inappropriate to ask her to leave. So he assigned her this small task, sparing her from feeling unnecessary.
In his previous life, Fang Bai was known as the Passionate Immortal Emperor in the eyes of many Immortals, too tenderhearted toward Female Immortals, unable to be ruthless, which caused great losses.
"Okay. Thank you, Wushuang Immortal King. I... I’ll be diligent in my duties..."
Hailan Fairy felt excited that Wushuang Immortal King allowed her to stay, which at least indicated he didn’t dislike her. She was quite thrilled inside.
Before coming to Wushuang Hall, Moon Sea Fairy had given Hailan Fairy some hints, though not explicitly. Hailan Fairy understood her master’s intentions, hoping she could capture Wushuang Immortal King’s heart and become immortal partners.
Hailan Fairy had a very good impression of Fang Bai and wished to become immortal partners. But she worried that Fang Bai only had eyes for her junior sister Linghu Qianjiao and might be indifferent to her, causing her anxiety when delivering the medicinal materials.
However, the result surprised her. Fang Bai treated her well and allowed her to stay and assist, which delighted her immensely. She secretly reminded herself to seize the opportunity.
In Wushuang Hall, there was a dedicated Alchemy Room. Fang Bai invited Hailan Fairy to enter the Alchemy Room together, letting her prepare the pill bottles while he sat cross-legged in front of the Pill Furnace.
