Reborn Medicine King

Upon reaching the pavilion where Li Xingchen and his companion were, the first official stepped forward.    

"Greetings, Your Highness."    

Li Xingchen replied, "This isn't the palace, no need for formalities. Tell me, have you caught the person?"    

Beside him, Xingtian Yong looked hopeful. If they had indeed caught Jiang Fann here, it would save him a lot of trouble.    

The official responded directly, "We haven't caught anyone. When we reached the plaza, the teleportation array was activated, and a group of practitioners used it to leave the city. I can't confirm if those three were among them."    

The manager stepped forward and reported the events in detail to Li Xingchen, who frowned slightly but showed no sign of blame.    

Xingtian Yong, however, was blunt, "Looks like your people are as useless as mine, can't even handle a small task!"    

Li Xingchen retorted, "My people are not for you to criticize. You heard him; there was an expert in formations involved. It might not have been Jiang Fann and his group."    

Xingtian Yong stood up, dusting off his clothes, ready to leave. He looked at Li Xingchen and said, "Seems I can't rely on you. I'll have to come up with more ideas myself. When I catch that scoundrel, I'll let you know right away. Remember to buy me a drink then."    

"Are you so sure they've already left?"    

"Don't underestimate that guy, Jiang Fann. I used to think he was just tagging along with Fang Xiang from the Heaven Pavilion, but it turns out it's the other way around. Even that arrogant Wan Chengfeng treats him with respect. Someone like that isn't just some reckless fool."    

"Take my meeting with him, for instance. There's no way he didn't know who I was. He just wanted to provoke me, hoping I'd make a move in the city. Too bad for him, I'm not that easy to bait. He'll end up in my hands sooner or later, just wait and see."    

With that, he left the pavilion without saying goodbye to Li Xingchen, clearly familiar with the estate.    

Once Xing Tianyong was gone, Li Xingchen turned to the two others, his expression much more serious than before. "Who exactly is this Jiang Fann?"    

The cultivator, who had been following Jiang Fann for two days, replied, "I can't figure him out. He showed no fear facing Xing Tianyong and even provoked him. His healing methods are quite unique. Do you remember Guo Xu, who sought help at the palace last year?"    

"Of course, I remember. I tried to recruit him back then, but he was too greedy for power and ended up ruining himself, losing most of his life expectancy. He doesn't have much time left."    

"Yesterday, Jiang Fann completely healed his injuries in just half a day. It's said to be a result of some spiritual damage, but Guo Xu's cultivation level dropped significantly. Still, for him, staying alive is more important. If I recall correctly, the Guo Family spent a fortune hiring three alchemists to help him, but they couldn't solve his problem."    

"Is he really that powerful?"    

"Absolutely. That's why I'm not sure if Jiang Fann was among those people when they left."    

The man lowered his head and continued, "Your Highness, I believe someone like Jiang Fann could be a valuable ally. In the future, we might need his skills to solve problems rather than causing trouble for him alongside Xingtian Yong and pushing him to a corner."    

Li Xingchen replied calmly, "What good is saying this now? It's too late. He challenged the authority of the capital by forcefully operating the grand formation with his own power. Even if I tried to protect him now, it wouldn't help. No one can save him at this point."    

...    

Meanwhile, Jiang Fann and his two companions used the teleportation array several times and finally arrived at the capital of the Sui Tian Dynasty. With their new identities, they weren't worried about being recognized.    

Once there, Fang Xiang continued to use the Yang Thunder Pearl to determine their location, while Wan Chengfeng suddenly called Jiang Fann over. As Jiang Fann approached, he immediately noticed a wanted poster. Issued by the royal palace, it featured only images without any description or names, but it promised a generous reward. The likeness was unmistakably Jiang Fann, along with the disguise he used after the auction.    

Just as Wan Chengfeng had warned earlier, Xingtian Yong had clearly already taken action. However, the wanted posters hadn't been distributed to places like the Heaven Pavilion, as he evidently didn't want to cause too much of a stir.    

Fang Xiang arrived and frowned slightly when he saw Jiang Fann's wanted poster.    

Jiang Fann, on the other hand, didn't seem too bothered. He looked at Fang Xiang and joked, "It's always better to have someone backing you up. Looks like this Xing Tianyong wants to cut you some slack. You still have time to leave."    

Fang Xiang replied with a hint of annoyance, "What's the point of saying that now? We still have to keep moving, and our direction hasn't changed. We need to keep going. Does this thing really expect us to cross the entire continent?"    

Even though they had been using teleportation arrays, the cost was starting to feel wasteful to him, but he couldn't afford to waste time traveling slowly.    

Originally, Jiang Fann had planned to leave something behind to surprise Xing Tianyong, but Fang Xiang didn't give him the chance. He dragged Jiang Fann through the teleportation array, deciding to take them directly to the border city. This way, if they missed their mark, they could simply return.    

Upon reaching the border city, Fang Xiang took the Sun Thunder Pearl from Jiang Fann and sensed the direction it indicated. To his surprise, the direction had started to change, confirming that the place they needed to go and the secret realm they needed to unlock were within the Suotian Dynasty.

Wan Chengfeng chuckled, "Is it really such a coincidence? Finding treasure right under Xing Tianyong's nose? If he finds out, he’ll be furious. That guy is the most petty person I know."    

Jiang Fann put away the Thunder Pearl and checked the general direction himself. From the look of things, the city had indeed shifted its course.    

"Let's not worry about any 'Xingtian Warriors' for now. We're here for the treasure, after all. Should we use the teleportation array to head to a town between here and the capital, or just leave the city and travel on foot? That way, we might avoid drawing attention, but it could waste a lot of time since we can't pinpoint the exact location yet."    

After weighing his options, Fang Xiang decided to head to another town along the way. It would save time, and he was eager to get moving.    

Without wasting any more time, the three of them quickly vanished from the plaza.    

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Fann and his companions left the last town, traveling through the sky by day and resting on the ground at night. They passed through some forests but encountered no trouble. The occasional travelers they met were friendly enough.    

However, Fang Xiang studied the map and felt a growing unease about the route.    

That night, he sat by the campfire, staring seriously at the map without saying a word.    

Wan Chengfeng, sitting nearby, asked, "You've been wearing that serious look for half the day. What's up?"    

Fang Xiang replied, "We might be in for some trouble. If we keep following this route, we'll reach this point after another half-day's flight."    

He pointed to a marked spot on the map.    

The map from the Heaven Pavilion marked it as a danger zone, a forbidden area where even straying near the edge could be deadly. Every kingdom had such areas, and this was one of two in the Sui Tian Kingdom. Its vast expanse meant that going around it would take several months.    

Jiang Fann said, "If the Thunder Sect is hidden here, it makes perfect sense to me."    

Wan Chengfeng nodded in agreement. He clearly shared Jiang Fann's view; after all, if such a sect were out in the open, it would have been discovered long ago.    

Fang Xiang commented, "Even so, us three going into the restricted area seems like a suicide mission, doesn't it?"    

Jiang Fann chuckled, "You can wait outside. Once I confirm it's safe, you can come in."    

"I'm not that cowardly. It's not like I haven't been to a restricted area before. Last time, my mentor was there to protect me, but even he got pretty hurt. You guys should really think this through."    

Wan Chengfeng laughed, "Don't worry. You might underestimate me, but don't underestimate Brother Jiang. His skills are more impressive than you think."    

Back at the ant nest, Wan Chengfeng had witnessed Jiang Fann's combat abilities. He was well aware of the risks in the restricted area, but for him, constant breakthroughs were the way forward. His high ranking in the Star Sea list wasn't without reason. His standards for himself were almost unreasonably high, which explained why he was so shaken after his recent setback.    

Jiang Fann said, "Brother Wan, we might head to the restricted area tomorrow. You should take out the pill now, and I'll help you with your meridian issues."    

Without hesitation, Wan Chengfeng retrieved the Nine-Turn Meridian Pill and took it immediately.    

He had personally witnessed Jiang Fann treat Guo Xu and had complete trust in Jiang Fann's abilities, while Fang Xiang stood by to assist.    

At this moment, Wan Chengfeng's body was brimming with vibrant spiritual strength, yet it couldn't converge into his Qi Sea. This didn't hinder his ability to perform his techniques, but the damaged meridians restricted his potential to advance. Both his meridians and Qi Sea couldn't progress further, marking a dead end in his cultivation journey unless changes were made.    

Recently, Jiang Fann had resolved several issues related to meridians, and Wan Chengfeng's condition wasn't as severe as Zhu Ying's had been.    

Jiang Fann used his medicine arts to unleash the power of the elixirs, meticulously reconfiguring Wan Chengfeng's damaged meridians. He severed and reconnected them, but given Wan Chengfeng's high level, Jiang Fann had to expend significant spiritual strength to suppress the process. However, this was not a challenge for him now.    

The moment the meridians were severed, Wan Chengfeng's spiritual strength surged chaotically, nearly overwhelming his physical body. Fortunately, Jiang Fann suppressed it with his own strength, using silver needles to seal the spiritual strength within key meridians. He then swiftly repaired the damaged meridians, guiding the spiritual strength back into the Qi Sea.
