Reborn Medicine King

Xiao Mo seemed quite nervous and quickly spoke up, "Sir, I haven't done anything wrong in a long time..."    

Hong Chao replied, "I didn't say you did anything wrong, so don't worry. Even though I don't have a great impression of the Immortal World cultivators, I'm not going to deal with you directly, especially since you have some connection with Jiang Fann."    

However, Hong Chao then turned his gaze to Gu Xie, his eyes narrowing.    

"An Immortal Clan member!"    

Although Gu Xie felt immense pressure from him, she didn't react much. She wasn't a cultivator who had left the Immortal World and didn't know what the so-called Immortal Clan was.    

Xiao Mo quickly explained, "She's a descendant who's been living outside, not born in the Immortal World."    

Hong Chao ignored this and looked over at Jiang Fann.    

"Why are you, kid, entangled with the Immortal World? If it were just one person, it might be a coincidence, but you even have someone with Immortal Clan blood with you."    

Jiang Fann didn't hide anything, "Sir, Gu Xie isn't from the Immortal World. She's actually royalty from the Bone Realm. She awakened her bloodline powers after absorbing the royal blood of two other clans."    

Hong Chao sighed, "The Bone Realm? So, it's the life created by that guy. That explains it. Only he would have such abilities. It seems he might have actually succeeded."    

Hong Chao wasn't too concerned about the issue with Gu Xie, as he didn't consider Gu Xie's malevolent power to be a threat.    

Jiang Fann said, "They’re allies I gained during my journeys. They won't cause any trouble."    

Hong Chao chuckled, "I know your character well. You can take the demon cores from these five creatures to try absorbing them, and use their bodies as materials. Is that enough to show my sincerity? Can we head to the Sanctum Academy now?"    

Instead of explaining, Jiang Fann released his aura. The power was intense, but as it reached a certain level, it started to fluctuate. Jiang Fann had to suppress it to stabilize.    

Seeing this, Hong Chao was taken aback and quickly said, "After facing such a strong heavenly tribulation, your level still hasn't fully stabilized. It's not that easy, is it?"    

Jiang Fann replied helplessly, "I can't leave immediately. If I could, I wouldn't have returned right after the tribulation. Once I finish my seclusion, I'll head to Sanctum Academy as promised. I haven't forgotten our agreement."    

At this point, Jiang Shuai chimed in, "If you’re not going, what's the point of me going alone? With my good looks, people will definitely get jealous. If they pick on me and I can't fight back, that would be a real bummer."    

Jiang Fann withdrew his aura and laughed, "You're a reincarnation realm cultivator now. It's good enough if you don't bully others. Besides, I have something I need your help with."    

Jiang Shuai frowned at Jiang Fann, "You're not coming with me, yet you want this handsome guy to help you out? Doesn't your conscience bother you?"    

Jiang Fann chuckled, "Why would I stand on ceremony with you? Ling'er and the others were training with me up in the skies when a mysterious expert took them away. They're missing, but I know their life force is stable. Once you get to the Sanctum Academy, I need you to keep an eye out for any news about them."    

Hearing this, Jiang Shuai's demeanor turned serious, and he stopped joking around.    

"Not even a single clue?"    

Jiang Fann thought for a moment and replied, "I suspect it might be related to cultivators who left the Nine Desolations before. Just keep an eye out for me, but don't let it interfere with your training. Once I reach the academy, we'll need to train together."    

Jiang Shuai seemed a bit surprised by Jiang Fann's words.    

"Cultivators from the Nine Desolations? The outside world is vast, and I've never heard of any big names coming from there. But since you're asking, of course, I'll keep an eye out. Once you're done with your retreat, head to the Sanctum Academy as soon as you can. I'll go check out the situation there first."    

Nearby, Hong Chao couldn't help but feel a bit regretful. He had planned to take Jiang Fann back, thinking that since Jiang Fann had already reached the Mortal Separating Stage, he should be brought back for further training to avoid wasting time.    

Hong Chao began, "You're at the perfect stage to advance your skills. Once you're done with your retreat, make sure to head to the academy right away. Even though you've reached the Mortal Separating Stage, some of your peers have already pulled ahead. Take your friend here, for example—doing well, but still pretty average. Don't waste too much time."    

Suddenly, Hong Chao remembered something and asked, "Even though you have some tricks up your sleeve, the distance to our academy is vast. With your current abilities, you can't make the journey alone. How about I come to get you when the time comes?"    

Jiang Fann replied, "Sir, I have a way to get there. Just let me know which world the academy is in."    

Hearing this, Hong Chao recalled that Jiang Fann had previously ventured beyond the Nine Desolations, suggesting he had some unique means of traveling through the stars. Since Jiang Fann was so determined, Hong Chao decided not to press further. At least Jiang Fann had agreed to go to the academy, which was enough for now.    

Hong Chao handed Jiang Fann a token. "The academy is located in the Southern Sky Realm, not far from the Human Clan's ancestral world. Once you arrive, I'll arrange for someone to take you there for some training. As a member of the Human Clan, visiting that place will be incredibly beneficial for you."    

Jiang Fann accepted the token and nodded in agreement.    

"I've got it, don't worry. I won't miss this chance. Once I wrap things up here, I'll head to the Sanctuary Academy as soon as possible. I'll take care of these God Clan members and plan to start my retreat soon."    

Hong Chao said, "Good, it's important to understand the urgency. As for the person you're looking for, I'll have the academy's students keep an eye out for you. Focus on your retreat and make sure your foundation is completely stable before coming out. If your level drops, it'll be tough to find another chance to break through, so take this opportunity seriously."    

"I understand."    

Hong Chao gave Jiang Fann a few more glances, then said no more. He placed his hand on Jiang Shuai, tore through space, and disappeared without a trace.    

Jiang Fann knew he needed to begin his retreat soon, so he turned to Xiao Mo and Gu Xie.    

"Take care of these five bodies. Just save their cores and some of their true blood for me."    

Hearing Jiang Fann's words, Xiao Mo's eyes lit up with excitement.    

"Master, are you serious? These are bodies of the Celestial Realm!"    

Jiang Fann replied, "These bodies are of no use to me, but they should be quite beneficial for you. I'll be in retreat for an unknown amount of time, so Myriad Clouds Mountain is in your hands. If any cultivators from the vast world intrude again, don't hesitate to eliminate them. I'll handle any consequences."    

Xiao Mo quickly nodded, agreeing without hesitation.    

Jiang Fann continued, "Now that the world has undergone a breakthrough, the Nine Desolations will certainly change significantly. You all need to treat the Heaven Pavilion as your own territory and take care of it."    

"We understand!"    

Jiang Fann didn't say more. He sensed his own aura becoming extremely unstable and knew he had to retreat into seclusion to stabilize his condition.    

At that moment, the Heaven Supporting Divine Wood released a vibrant green spiritual energy, enveloping Jiang Fann. In the next instant, he was pulled into the tree trunk and vanished from sight.    

Gu Xie hurriedly collected the bodies, aware that others were arriving. They all knew Jiang Fann was in a hurry, so they didn't engage him in conversation. Normally, Jiang Fann would have thoroughly examined these God Clan bodies, as they were the nightmares of the world.    

Wan Chengfeng ran up from the mountain, looking around but not seeing Jiang Fann.    

"Where's Jiang Fann?"    

Xiao Mo replied, "You might need to stay in the Nine Desolations for a while. The master just completed a breakthrough, but his foundation is still unstable. He needs to retreat for a while, and we can't say exactly when he'll come out."    

Hearing this, Wan Chengfeng said, "Time isn't an issue. I've already sensed some unusual changes nearby. With the world's level increasing, treasures are bound to appear. Since he's in seclusion, I'll take the opportunity to explore and see if I can gain some benefits with my current skills."    

Gu Xie said, "When you're out there, you can say you're with the Heaven Pavilion. You're a friend of the master, so if you run into trouble, just come to me."    

With that, he handed a piece of Spirit Attached Jade to Wan Chengfeng. Wan accepted it without hesitation and replied, "When Jiang Fann finishes his retreat, have him contact me immediately."    

After saying goodbye to the Heaven Supporting Divine Wood, he didn't linger long at Myriad Clouds Mountain. With his abilities, he was well aware of the changes happening in the vast world. He was certain that many experts would soon reveal themselves, as the Nine Desolations seemed to be restoring their level rather than merely advancing. There had to be significant figures hidden here, and those so-called forbidden zones were proof.    

In the coming period, the Heaven Pavilion would also become busy again. In just an hour, Tao Zhen had already gathered information from various factions. Mysterious mountain gates had appeared out of nowhere near these factions, with figures visible inside, though most were blocked by barriers, preventing closer investigation.    

Meanwhile, the border of the Heaven's Radiance Wilderness was in chaos. Nine continents had connected, and many factions were unaware of the existence of other continents. The Endless Sea surrounded this entire landmass, but the Nine Desolations had gained many water systems. Rivers that had been dry for countless years were flowing again, linking the various regions.    

The larger factions were working hard to stabilize their territories. Having held their positions for so many years, they were keen to avoid upheaval and hoped to navigate this period as smoothly as possible.    

Surrounded by the Natural Aura, Jiang Fann found himself in a space where he was completely alone. Even the Heaven Supporting Divine Wood refrained from extending its Spiritual Sense here, ensuring he wouldn't be disturbed. This environment was perfect for deep meditation.    

Feeling the changes in his inner energy, Jiang Fann remained vigilant. He calmed himself completely, clearing away all distractions, hoping to stabilize his state as quickly as possible.
