Reborn Medicine King

These past few days have been incredibly fulfilling for Jiang Fann. He's been in seclusion with a few novice alchemists, guiding them from the basics of alchemy. Just as he remembered, the three disciples, though not highly skilled yet, showed remarkable talent in alchemy.    

Even Zhang Shuang, who just started training, quickly grasped the introductory concepts of alchemy. These three were like blank slates, eager to learn and filled with a desire for power, studying with great dedication.    

Jiang Fann tailored his teaching to each of them, using his knowledge of their strengths to impart the most suitable techniques. He also clarified the best alchemy paths for them early on, helping them avoid unnecessary shortcuts.    

During these three days of seclusion, Jiang Fann crafted several high-quality elixirs for their training. Given their current level, advancing their skills wasn't difficult, especially with the environment of Myriad Clouds Mountain aiding them.    

As soon as he emerged from seclusion, Tao Zhen approached him, looking serious.    

"There's an emergency in the Southern Rain Continent. A rift in the world has appeared, and several powerful beings have emerged. Elder Mo Jiuyou arrived yesterday and, along with two others, has already gone to provide support."    

"Several powerful beings? Got it."    

Jiang Fann turned to the three disciples beside him and said, "I need to head out for a while. You three focus on your training. Practice your fire control techniques during your breaks. You started much later than those young prodigies from other sects. To catch up, you can't rely on me; it's up to you."    

"We understand," Jiang Fann nodded at them before flying directly toward the teleportation array at the back of the mountain. As he flew, he retrieved the Spirit Attached Jade belonging to Wan Chengfeng.    

"Have you talked enough? It's time for you to show yourself," he said.    

About five minutes later, the teleportation array at the back of the mountain activated, and two figures appeared above it—Wan Chengfeng and the elder of the Wan family.    

Wan Chengfeng looked at Jiang Fann. "What's so urgent?"    

"We'll discuss it on the way. Elder Wan, it's best you don't follow us. The level of combat we're heading into could be dangerous for you."    

Hearing this, Elder Wan quickly responded, "Take care, my lord."    

Jiang Fann acknowledged him and then flew down the mountain with Wan Chengfeng.    

Tao Zhen was astounded to see the young Wan Chengfeng, surprised that Jiang Fann had found another cultivator of such high caliber.    

Jiang Fann knew time was of the essence. He led Wan Chengfeng to the grand array and contacted Xiao Ai to activate the teleportation array, heading straight to the Southern Rain region.    

Sensing Xiao Mo's location, Jiang Fann and Wan Chengfeng moved swiftly in that direction to provide support.    

On the way, Jiang Fann briefed Wan Chengfeng on the situation. The latter was eager to engage with cultivators of the same level.    

As they neared Xiao Mo's position, the Purple Jade Eagle suddenly spoke, "It's him... he's here!"    

The little one in seclusion suddenly woke up, exclaiming, "This is bad."    

Jiang Fann understood their concern and reassured them, "You have nothing to worry about. I won't let you be exposed. Since they're coming, it's a good chance to make them give up."    

He wasn't afraid. If he hadn't gone to the higher realms and stayed in the Nine Wilderness, he might not have been able to handle this. But now, with so many allies by his side, he was confident he could protect the little ones. After all, they were his people, and he didn't care about their past.    

Before they arrived, from a distance, they could see the sky changing colors where Xiao Mo was, with powerful energies clashing.    

Wan Chengfeng, beside him, was equally astonished by the scene.    

"Wow! No wonder they're top-tier fighters, even when suppressing their power. They're on a whole different level."    

"Don't worry, you won't have to deal with those big shots."    

As they got closer, they looked toward the battle and saw Xiao Mo and two others locked in a fierce struggle with six opponents.    

Xiao Mo was being held back by a giant. Although she had the upper hand, defeating her opponent wasn't going to be easy. Another giant joined in, bringing the fight to a stalemate.    

The purple eagle was clashing with Mo Jiuyou. Despite Mo Jiuyou's injuries, he maintained formidable strength at his current level. However, the expert from the Purple Jade Eagle Clan was equally strong.    

The old dragon was in a tough spot, being attacked by a member of the God Clan and two Purple Jade Eagles. It was a chaotic scene, and he was taking quite a beating, unable to get any help from Mo Jiuyou or Xiao Mo.    

Just then, Wan Chengfeng charged into the fray, weapon in hand, heading straight for one of the Purple Jade Eagles. Alongside him appeared a massive bear, which lunged at the God Clan giant attacking the old dragon.    

Seeing reinforcements arrive, the old dragon perked up, growing larger and exuding the aura of a holy beast, as if his strength had significantly increased.    

The God Clan leader, who was keeping Xiao Mo occupied, spotted Jiang Fann and immediately turned to his elder ally, saying, "That's Jiang Fann. I'll hold her off; you go capture him. Your spiritual bodies are with him."    

The elder's mind locked onto Jiang Fann, transforming into a streak of silver light as he charged toward him.    

Suddenly, a red glow emanated from Jiang Fann, unleashing the power of his divine blood. The next moment, they collided, and Jiang Fann was sent flying a considerable distance.    

Feeling the turmoil within his veins, Jiang Fann was frustrated. Even with his opponent suppressing their power, a master at the eighth level of the reincarnation realm was still far superior in combat strength. Yet, he could manage to hold his ground for a few exchanges.    

The elder didn't pause, immediately pursuing Jiang Fann again.    

As he approached Jiang Fann, a flash of golden light streaked by, followed by a massive skeletal claw that seized the light. Gu Xie appeared to save his master. Although his level was slightly lower than the opponent's, Gu Xie's bloodline power was several times stronger. Once he appeared, the opponent was instantly halted, and Gu Xie's dark arts rapidly consumed his strength.    

The elder of the God Clan sensed a hint of unease and quickly retreated, but Gu Xie didn't stop and pursued him directly. It was six against six, and Xiao Mo and her group quickly gained an overwhelming advantage.    

Witnessing this, Jiang Fann let his divine blood dissipate and quietly observed the unfolding events. Sensing the aura of these Ancient God Clan members, he could almost instantly identify which two were the true forms of Xiao Budian and the others.    

Meanwhile, far to the north in a restricted area, an old man leisurely fishing suddenly paused, then smiled. "Back again?" he murmured. In his fishing basket, a few Dragon Fish, on the brink of a breakthrough, trembled. They had already seen a few of their kind eaten by this old man, whom they found utterly terrifying.    

The old man glanced at the sky. His barrier still hung in the air, its power preventing any breakthroughs to the next level in the vast world.    

"Should we take a look first?"    

The old man hesitated, clearly unsure about making a decision.    

Meanwhile, the little one and the bird remained silent, using Jiang Fann's spiritual sense to gauge the situation outside. They didn't dare to unleash their own spiritual strength, fearing it might affect their true forms.    

The elder tried several times to bypass Gu Xie but was blocked each time. Even direct attacks were deflected, showing he was no match for Gu Xie in a head-on confrontation.    

Blocking Gu Xie's assault, the God Clan elder glared at Jiang Fann.    

"Return our spiritual bodies, and we promise never to enter the Nine Desolations again."    

He realized they had lost their advantage and would need more experts to regain it. But they couldn't be sure if the Nine Desolations harbored other powerful beings.    

On the other side, Xiao Mo was overpowering her opponent. The God Clan leader, though not weak, was steadily losing ground under Xiao Mo's relentless attack. Alone, he was no match.    

Jiang Fann spoke up, "Look at the situation now. You're threatening me? Doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"    

The Purple Jade Eagle, battling Mo Jiuyou, let out a sharp cry, then charged toward Jiang Fann. But before it got far, Mo Jiuyou blocked it again. It wasn't easy to break through.    

The eagle retorted, "Jiang Fann, if the Heaven Pavilion doesn't elevate the Great World's status, to us of the Ancient God Clan, you're just sitting ducks. Do you think we won't recruit more experts? Let's see how your Nine Desolations withstands that."    

The Purple Jade Eagle Clan, known for their demonic beast lineage, tends to be more impulsive and hot-tempered than the God Clan. At this moment, they glared angrily at Jiang Fann, clearly hoping he would back down.    

However, Jiang Fann looked over at Xiao Mo in the distance, his expression relaxed, and said, "Since they've already said so, just go ahead and destroy the spatial rift. Leave them all here. We might as well finish off these two and be done with it. As for the others, seal their powers and lock them up for a few hundred years. If they still want revenge after that, we'll just wipe them out."    

After speaking, he took out a Spirit Attached Jade from his Hundred Treasures Bag and spoke into it, "Senior, they have more people this time. Send a few more experts over. We'll hold them off until you arrive."    

Xiao Mo's lips curled into a smile, knowing Jiang Fann was putting on a show, but she played along and flew toward the rift, no longer suppressing the God Clan's leader. This move truly shocked the cultivators from both clans, causing them to break away from their opponents and quickly regroup.    

The God Clan's leader chased after Xiao Mo, preventing her from getting close to the spatial rift. Meanwhile, Mo Jiuyou and others caught up, their presence now completely overpowering the opposition.    

Seeing the Ancient God Clan's growing fear, Jiang Fann seized the moment to further ignite the tension.    

"Don't let them get away. It's best to wipe out their souls directly. Those two bodies could be useful for the little ones..."    

The leader of the Divine Clan frowned and said, "Let's pull back for now."    

With that, he launched an attack, forcing Mo Jiuyou and his group to retreat, buying his people some time. He even took a hit from Xiao Mo, using that force to quickly widen the gap between them.    

Six figures reached the spatial rift and, without hesitation, stepped inside.    

From behind, Jiang Fann's voice echoed, full of regret.    

"Sigh! How did they manage to escape? Mr. Chen's people sure took their time..."    

He said it loudly, making sure those few could hear him.    

Xiao Mo chased into the rift but quickly withdrew, sensing it was closing fast.
