Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

In the next instant, the longsword unsheathed, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Hai and the others were dead!

"Hmph! You are just like Xia Liu, all thieves!"

Ye Chen had no idea how much effort he had put in for the Ice Fire Fierce Lotus.

This time, he even borrowed a treasure from his sect to come.

Who would have thought he'd watch helplessly as the treasure was snatched away.

However, knowing Xia Liu's background, Ye Chen wasn't too upset.

Xia Liu might have helped him.

Even if he relied on the sect's secret treasure, he might not get the Fierce Lotus.

Instead of watching the Ice Lotus rot in the lava, having Xia Liu pick it might be the best way.

As long as he can find him.

The gains might be more than just the Ice Fire Fierce Lotus, but also the Storage Container on Xia Liu!

That's the rare and precious treasure in this realm!

"Heavenly Mansion Chief Xia Liu! Your legend ends here!"

Mumbling to himself, Ye Chen passed through the water curtain and appeared on Bro Lake.

...

Meanwhile, inside a certain house in Bitter Realm Town.

Zhao Li and Xiao Fei rubbed their stomachs, feeling they had eaten too much.

"You two, Chief Xia is here, be mindful."

Yao Kun timidly reminded them.

"Haha, Chief Xia, did you enter Loulan and acquire the treasure you wanted?"

Sensing something amiss, Zhao Li immediately composed herself and asked Xia Liu with a wry smile.

"Thank you, Miss Zhao, for your concern. I've already completed my original goal, what about you? Did you gain anything good?"

Xia Liu said politely.

"Congratulations to Chief Xia on your success!"

"Brother Yao, seeing your joyful face, you must have gained quite a bit."

Xia Liu gestured with his hand.

"Our harvest was the same, we divided twenty Fire Spirit Fruits equally."

Yao Kun made no secret of it.

The Fire Spirit Fruit, a miraculous fruit growing in hot regions, when consumed, can enhance a Martial Artist's Inner Strength.

The degree of enhancement depends on one's physique.

For some, it has no effect, for others, it leaps a thousand miles.

After hearing Yao Kun's introduction to the effects of the Fire Spirit Fruit, Xia Liu wished them well.

"Chief Xia, throughout this journey, we've relied on your protection. This Fire Spirit Fruit..."

"I know what you want to say, but it's fine for you to divide them. Even if you give me a thousand Fire Spirit Fruits, it's no use to me."

Xia Liu repeatedly waved his hand; Yao Kun indeed knows how to behave, but these fruits were of no use to him at all.

Even if they were, they would be so minute as to be immeasurable.

"Chief Xia, it's our token of gratitude, hope you can accept it."

Not taking them made Yao Kun feel uneasy.

After several refusals, Xia Liu brought Ma Xing forward: "Brother Ma, say something."

"Brother Yao, indeed this fruit is of no use to Chief Xia, and even for me, its effect is very small."

"Brother Ma, you shouldn't be deceiving me, is this fruit really so inferior?"

Yao Kun was utterly perplexed; what was going on, a treasure valued by Martial Artists was worthless to Ma Xing and Xia Liu.

"No, no, this fruit is very helpful to you. You can divide my share between the two of you."

"Oh, oh, can't understand Brother Ma, rather call a piece of stone a treasure, yet disdain the Fire Spirit Fruit..."

Zhao Li also seemed helpless, unable to communicate further.

"Stone?"

Xia Liu showed interest.

"It's some Spirit Stones, the grade is middle to supreme."

Saying this, Ma Xing took out the stones.

"Mm, indeed suitable for you now, congratulations."

Xia Liu had no hint of envy.

Middle Grade Spirit Stones no longer held value for him.

Without Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, he couldn't even feel any increase in Spiritual Energy.

Ma Xing felt excited because Xia Liu showed no interest in the stones.

If Xia Liu needed them, he would definitely give them up despite the pain.

After all, throughout the journey, the help Xia Liu provided was immense.

"That's about it, Brother Ma, come with me for a moment."

After chatting for a while, Xia Liu gestured for Ma Xing to step outside to speak privately.

Yao Kun and Zhao Li understood.

They always remembered that Xia Liu and Ma Xing shared the same cultivation system.

It's likely they had common topics to discuss.

Ma Xing followed Xia Liu to a certain teahouse in Bitter Realm Town, while listening to the tea house owner persuading people who wanted to enter Loulan.

After pouring tea for Xia Liu, Ma Xing softly asked, "I wonder what Chief Xia wants to talk to me about?"

"Brother Ma, no need to be nervous. I just want to chat about everyday life, because I haven't met many cultivators..."

Most importantly, Xia Liu didn't know how cultivators were spread throughout Huaxia.

Cultivators like Ma Xing might be numerous, but he was unaware.

They might all be living similar lives.

Are they like him, tirelessly striving to elevate their cultivation?

Understanding Xia Liu's thoughts, Ma Xing discussed his background with him.

In truth, Ma Xing had no particular background.

He was merely a child from a regular family.

Ancestors had left quite a few books behind.

Then one day, he inadvertently discovered a Cultivator's Spell.

After much research, he finally began cultivation and surprisingly succeeded in running it.

Even now, he dared not tell his parents; he had become somewhat strong.

By chance, he heard about the existence of Loulan Ancient Country.

In pursuit of more Cultivation Resources, to enhance his cultivation.

He arrived in Huachun City, where he met Yao Kun, becoming friends since then.

Eventually, he met Xia Liu.

"Brother Ma, people like us, in Huaxia and even worldwide, there are many. I must remind you, unless you have absolute power, do not easily reveal your identity as a cultivator, or you risk being plotted against by those with malicious intent."

"Yes, all the way here, I've experienced some of that. Even if they can't cultivate, just exposing the identity invites schemes."

Ma Xing nodded at this point.

His age wasn't very large, but he had gone through quite a lot.

"It's good you understand. If there ever comes a time, come find me at Osmanthus Sect."

"When the time comes, I will surely visit Senior Xia."

Ma Xing felt his blood heat up.

With Xia Liu being a senior, he guided him on paths for the future.

Simply concealing identity alone was enough for him to benefit from.

"It's fate we've met, close your eyes, open your heart, and I'll impart some small Spirit Arts through Divine Sense."

"Thank you, Senior!"

Feeling excited, Ma Xing kept calming himself, taking ten minutes to get into the state.

"Fireball Technique, Wind Blade Technique, Divine Consciousness Control Technique..."

Looking over the techniques appearing in his mind repeatedly, Ma Xing found it hard to remain calm.

Yet he must regain his composure, not let Xia Liu wait too long for him.

But when he opened his eyes, he found Xia Liu was no longer there.

"Brother Ma, whether or not you can successfully cultivate these Spirit Arts is on you, my help may end here. Once your cultivation improves, come find me at Osmanthus Sect."

Plop!

As Xia Liu's voice echoed in his mind, Ma Xing's knees instantly hit the ground: "Chief Xia, I will remember forever!"
