Reborn Medicine King

1Wansheng Feng cut his finger and signed the contract with his own blood. The giant blue bear used its spiritual strength to seal the pact, acknowledging Wansheng Feng as its master. In the next moment, the bear transformed into a blue light and vanished, entering the space where Wansheng Feng kept his pets.    

    

Clearly in a good mood, Wansheng Feng released his power to summon the giant blue bear again. With the contract's strength enhancing it, the bear appeared more alert than before. Jiang Fann then used the Divine Wood Scripture to channel his power into the bear. The Natural Aura began to heal the bear's wounds.    

    

Xiaomo also lent a hand, extracting the lingering bone tribe energy from the bear. The blood from the wounds turned red and quickly clotted under the influence of the Natural Aura, with the injuries slowly healing.    

    

Generous with his pet, Wansheng Feng found a few high-quality healing pills and tossed them into the bear's mouth. He then asked Jiang Fann to use Medicine Arts to activate the pills' essence, speeding up their absorption.    

    

"Thank you, Master..." the bear murmured.    

    

Jiang Fann then said, "Shrink down a bit. Your large size is really draining my spiritual strength."    

    

Despite its weakness, the giant blue bear began to shrink, eventually becoming the size of a regular brown bear, though still entirely blue. Its injuries remained severe, but the smaller size made treatment much easier. While the spiritual strength used was about the same, it saved Jiang Fann a lot of mental energy.    

    

Xiao Mo stood guard for Gu Xie and Jiang Fann, ready to intervene at a moment’s notice if there was any disturbance nearby. Suddenly, Jiang Fann and his companions sensed a surge in Gu Xie's energy within the bone wall, indicating he had broken through to the fifth level of the Reincarnation Realm. Xiao Mo couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy at such rapid progress.    

    

"If he keeps advancing like this, it won't be long before he catches up to my level," she mused. "I wonder when I'll be able to break through."    

    

Jiang Fann chuckled, "I'm looking forward to the day you reach the Celestial Realm. Then I can walk the skies with ease."    

    

Wan Chengfeng chimed in, "You're already pretty much walking on air now..."    

    

The Azure Bear's eyes gradually regained their luster, and it was able to channel its own strength to aid Jiang Fann in recovering his power. The bear's body was remarkable, possessing an extraordinary healing ability, likely due to its innate bloodline talent.    

    

As Jiang Fann helped heal the bear, he inquired, "Was it you who disrupted the formation trapping that demon?"    

    

The Azure Bear nodded without hesitation, confirming Jiang Fann's suspicion.    

    

Wan Chengfeng frowned, "That was reckless. Didn't you know about the demon's reputation? Why release it?"    

    

"It wasn't intentional," the bear explained. "The demon used a special method to implant a bone spell into a beast, which was then sent past the barrier. When the secret realm closed, it ambushed me. The power of that bone spell was overwhelming. While I was unconscious, it took control of my body and destroyed the tree. By the time I awoke, it was too late..."    

    

As the conversation continued, the sky-blue bear still seemed a bit shaken, showing just how much it feared the situation. Jiang Fann understood what it meant; the bones it referred to were the golden ones that Xiao Mo had just pulled from him.    

    

The bear glanced at the bones in the nearby crevice, regret evident in its eyes. It clearly knew the whole story, but being controlled left it powerless to resist, especially since the Bone Clan's abilities surpassed its own.    

    

Due to his own limitations, Jiang Fann had already expended a significant amount of his spiritual strength just to heal most of the bear's injuries. The bear, aware of how much energy it had absorbed, turned to Jiang Fann and said, "Thank you, healer, for saving me. I'll handle the rest of my recovery once I'm back in my space. I should be fully healed in less than a month."    

    

Jiang Fann nodded, withdrawing his spiritual strength and taking a pill to replenish his energy. Wan Chengfeng patted the bear and said, "Stick with me, and you'll be living the good life."    

    

"Always at your service, master!" the bear replied. With that, it released its spiritual strength and returned to its pet space, leaving the three of them standing there.    

    

Wan Chengfeng was in high spirits. He hadn't expected to gain so much from accompanying Jiang Fann here. As for the situation with Gu Xie, he didn't care to know the details. What mattered to him was not whether the power was good or evil, but how it was used.    

    

Jiang Fann sensed the aura of Gu Xie. Even after breaking through, its presence remained stable, and the bone wall was now brimming with spiritual strength. The power contained within a super strong entity at the seventh level of the Reincarnation Stage was truly terrifying.    

    

Standing beside Jiang Fann, Xiao Mo asked directly, "Master, are you sure there are no cultivators at the Reincarnation Stage in the Nine Desolations?"    

    

Jiang Fann nodded. "You'll need to completely suppress your aura there, or it could affect both you and the natural order. But I've been away for a long time, so the Nine Desolations might have changed. If I remember correctly, when I left, several continents were on the verge of connecting, which might be a sign of the world advancing."    

    

Xiao Mo reminded Jiang Fann, "But such an environment might hinder your cultivation progress."    

    

Jiang Fann was unconcerned. "Not necessarily. I'm only at the Dao Understanding Stage, so it shouldn't affect me much."    

    

Three days later, Gu Xie's aura surged again, reaching the sixth level of the Reincarnation Stage, causing even Wan Chengfeng nearby to lose his composure.    

    

"Isn't such rapid advancement risky? How will you stabilize your level?"    

    

Jiang Fann replied, "Did you ever think about that when you received spiritual strength inheritance? You're just envious..."    

    

"It's not envy, it's admiration and frustration..."    

    

Xiao Mo approached the bone wall, placing her hand on it to carefully sense the changes within.    

    

Returning to Jiang Fann, she said, "If I'm sensing this correctly, sir, you should at least reach the seventh level of the Reincarnation Stage this time. Only a third of the bone clan's power has been absorbed."    

    

Jiang Fann replied, "So, if we find a few more of these creatures to absorb, Gu Xie could reach the peak of the Reincarnation Stage?"    

    

Wan Chengfeng exclaimed, "You sure have big dreams. Creatures of this level aren't exactly common..."    

    

Xiao Mo shook her head, "It's not that simple. After the fifth level of the Reincarnation Stage, each breakthrough requires spiritual strength dozens of times greater than the previous minor stages. Beyond the eighth level, it’s hundreds of times more. This is why there's such a disparity among practitioners in the Reincarnation Stage. This particular bone clan's energy was uniquely suited for the master, allowing for such rapid progress. But future breakthroughs will require more than just a few of these creatures."    

    

Seven days later, Gu Xie's aura surged again, reaching the seventh level of the Reincarnation Stage. The golden bones Xiao Mo had pulled from the giant bear had turned to white bone, scattered on the ground, seemingly lifeless. This mirrored Gu Xie's own state. Two hours later, Gu Xie's bone wall slowly crumbled into dust, and he emerged, radiating a powerful life force as he approached Jiang Fann.    

    

"Master, I need to go into seclusion..." Jiang Fann nodded at her, then brought her into the pocket dimension, along with Xiao Mo. The power Gu Xie absorbed was just enough for her to break through to the next level, so she now needed time in seclusion to stabilize her progress.    

    

Jiang Fann and his companion arrived at the area previously covered by the bone wall. All that remained was a pile of lifeless bones, indistinguishable from ordinary ones. This must have been the Bone Realm royalty, now completely eradicated.    

    

Wan Chengfeng couldn't help but reflect, "Who would've thought such a powerful demon would meet this end? There's always a bigger fish. We really need to keep pushing ourselves..."    

    

Jiang Fann summoned the Star River Cauldron and brought Wan Chengfeng inside. He chuckled, "When I saw Xiao Mo get injured by that expert with just one move, I felt the pressure. If you want to continue training in the Upper Heavens, I can arrange for you to stay. I have to return to the Nine Desolations; there's something I need to handle there."    

    

Wan Chengfeng laughed, "After being trapped in that ant nest for two hundred years, I learned that rushing doesn't guarantee success. Some things can't be forced; you just have to strive for them. If I hadn't come out with you, I wouldn't have reached my current level. It's better to stick with you and gain more experience. Who knows what else I might discover?"    

    

Jiang Fann didn't say more. He simply found a high-quality spiritual stone and handed it to the Formation Spirit.    

    

"Galaxy, let's head straight back to the Ninth Wilderness the way we came."    

    

"Got it!"    

    

With that, the Galaxy Cauldron activated its formation. In the next moment, it released an immense spiritual strength, shooting straight into the sky. Once it reached a certain speed, it pierced through the spatial barrier, and in the blink of an eye, the two found themselves amidst the starry sea.    

    

Looking at the Ninth Heaven, Wan Chengfeng felt a rush of excitement. It was his first time leaving the great world, and he was filled with anticipation for what lay ahead. As for Jiang Fann, he seemed much calmer, as this was the journey home. He was eager to see his family again.    

    

The lively atmosphere from their departure was replaced by a solitary return, which left Jiang Fann feeling a bit helpless. However, the Spirit Attached Jades of his companions emitted a steady aura, giving him hope that they would reunite in the future, perhaps sooner than expected.    

    

As they traveled through the starry sea, the Galaxy Cauldron's internal star map guided them, requiring no input from Jiang Fann. He and Wan Chengfeng could focus on their cultivation, taking advantage of the travel time to reflect on their recent experiences and growth.    

    

Occasionally, Wan Chengfeng would summon the Sky Blue Bear to check on its injuries, while Jiang Fann would enter the mystical space within the cauldron. Mo Jiuyou's injuries were steadily healing, and each visit saw Jiang Fann's own cultivation improve.    

    

Knowing they were on their way home, Mo Jiuyou shared in the excitement.    

    

"Kid, do you really have to go back to the Nine Desolations?"    

    

"It'll take some time before we get there. You should prepare in advance."    

    

Mo Jiuyou replied, "Then there's no rush for my injuries to heal quickly. I can't use my abilities once we're back anyway. Once we reach the Nine Desolations, just let me out. I plan to visit the Nine Desolations Palace first, then I'll head to Myriad Clouds Mountain to find you. My injuries will take a long time to heal by the sacred tree."
