The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

20: Chapter 20 New Job 20: Chapter 20 New Job Yellow Level, Profound Level, Earth Level, Heavenly Level…

Postnatal, Innate…

This is the division of realms in martial arts, and reaching the Heavenly Level denotes a Grandmaster!

In the Postnatal state where one can protect themselves with Gang Qi, it is comparable to the Qi Refining Third Level, where one can protect themselves with True Qi, but these two are indeed not on the same level!

In the Innate state, one can control objects with Qi and injure enemies through the air, reaching the Transformation Realm; presumably, this is roughly equivalent to the Qi Refining Fourth to Sixth Levels?!

Thinking thus, Lin Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as that Martial Arts Grandmaster wasn’t terrifying enough to compare to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he wouldn’t need to worry.

With his identity as a cultivator, possessing various unparalleled true martial spells and Immortal Battle Techniques, as long as he breaks through to the Qi Refining Third or Fourth Level, he would not fear any Martial Arts Grandmaster.

From Zhou Li’s words, Lin Tian also learned that the so-called Xuanmen Daoist realms in the secular world were divided into Xuanhai Stage, Origin Breaking Period, and Sculpting Spirit Stage — the latter presumably equal to the strength of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, which also didn’t pressure him.

But what if there were beings stronger than a Martial Arts Grandmaster in this world, even potentially comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm?

He would have to be cautious!

Moreover, since Earth was a technologically advanced civilization planet—albeit a lower-level one—various artillery and missiles pose a threat to him until he successfully achieves Foundation Establishment!

Considering this, Lin Tian felt a new sense of urgency and thought about advancing his cultivation swiftly.

“Elder Zhou, may I ask, what realm have you cultivated to?”

Lin Tian returned from his contemplative state and asked, looking up.

“How inadequate!”

Zhou Li smiled ruefully and shook his head, saying, “I am of poor aptitude, incomparable to the Master, and despite a lifetime of hard cultivation, I have only reached the Early Profound Level!”

“Really, it is poor talent.

The martial path is not the Righteous Path, being able to cultivate to be somewhat stronger than ordinary people is already good enough!”

After speaking, Lin Tian turned and prepared to step away.

However, at this moment, Zhou Xiaomeng couldn’t contain herself and rebuked indignantly, “Hmph, even if you’re a Xuan Sect Master or a Martial Arts Grandmaster, you shouldn’t be so dismissive!

What if my grandfather has poor talent?

His strength is one of the top in Bin City!

Even if he’s not as good as you, you don’t have the right to insult him!

You must apologize to my grandfather before you can leave!”

After finishing her sentence, the young girl stepped forward to block Lin Tian’s path, her beautiful eyes shining like black gems and filled with immense anger.

“Xiao Meng, show respect!

Cough cough…”

Zhou Li’s expression changed dramatically as he reprimanded sharply.

Just then, Zhou Li began to cough violently, his face turning pale and his body barely able to stand.

“Grandfather, what’s wrong, are you sick again!”

Zhou Xiaomeng quickly stepped forward to support her grandfather, her pretty face filled with anxiety and concern.

“Not a big issue, just an old ailment!”

Zhou Li waved his hand and sighed.

“The Martial Arts Technique you have cultivated is incomplete, deficient, and has damaged your organs due to years of practice.

If you don’t want to die too quickly, it’s best to stop cultivating!”

Lin Tian paused, looked back at Zhou Li, and warned, “Most importantly, the injuries you have caused yourself prevent any progression in cultivation even if you force it!

Also, do not mention our encounter today to anyone; I don’t want any disturbances!”

Having said that, he drifted away.

Today, by borrowing the other party’s cultivation site for use, Lin Tian had repaid the kindness; if Zhou Li continued to cultivate, within half a year, his internal organs would fail, leading to his death.

If he stopped now, perhaps he could live a few more years.

As for taking action to save him, Lin Tian was not that idle.

Although he was not a villain, he was not the Guanyin Bodhisattva, rescuing people from fire and water.

In his previous life, he had stepped over countless corpses and rivers of blood to become the Immortal Venerable.

If he was moved by unwarranted kindness every time, he would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

Being able to warn Zhou Li was already an exception.

In his past life, not to mention dealing with him, if he had disturbed his cultivation, at the very least, his cultivation would have been destroyed, and at worst, he would have been erased from existence.

Zhou Li and that young girl were obviously not ordinary people, but they were not significant enough for Lin Tian to be concerned about.

In the courtyard, watching the departing youth, Zhou Li, after his coughing subsided, looked complex and finally sighed deeply, whispering to himself, “Back then, at Blood Flower Mountain, I had a serendipitous encounter and obtained an Ancient Martial Technique.

Unexpectedly, I was coveted by my fellow disciples and tragically ambushed.

Injured, I fled the mountain.

Fortunately, I had a copy for my cultivation.

For decades, it allowed me to establish a formidable presence in this mundane world.

But now, storms are brewing, and my hidden injuries are worsening.

The situation is grim…”

“Grandfather, what are you talking about?”

Seeing her grandfather’s distracted expression, Zhou Xiaomeng looked worried.

“Sigh, grandfather is old.”

Zhou Li shook his head, melancholically saying, “Your second uncle is focused on business and doesn’t want to get involved in our shadowy world; your third uncle is uneducated and just a classic example of a dim-witted scion, completely useless!

I would rather nurture someone else… If only I had assistance from a figure like Master Lin, then grandfather wouldn’t have to worry.”

Saying this, Zhou Li affectionately looked towards the young girl and said, “Before, I was thinking of sending you to Blood Flower Mountain when the opportunity arises.

Now, having met Master Lin, grandfather has changed his mind.

As long as the master is still in Bin City, I will find a way to make you his disciple… Even if he doesn’t accept you, if he makes a move, my illness might be cured!”

Regarding the conversation between the grandparents, Lin Tian naturally had no idea.

After he left the park, it was already broad daylight; the sun at the end of winter in the early morning was exceptionally warm.

Bathed in sunlight, Lin Tian walked along the street and entered a nearby bank.

Withdrawing the only bank card he had, he checked the balance and seeing only three thousand deposited, Lin Tian’s brows lightly furrowed.

“These three thousand in savings aren’t enough to let me purchase sufficient medicinal materials for cultivation, not to mention covering my final semester’s tuition of senior high, let alone other living expenses!”

Lin Tian walked out of the bank with a look of melancholy and a bit of helplessness.

Afterward, Lin Tian visited a fairly large pharmacy nearby, inquiring about lingzhi, ginseng, polygonatum, and many other common earthly ingredients that could aid him in the Qi Refinement Realm.

However, upon learning the prices of these materials, Lin Tian was thoroughly stumped; his mere three thousand in savings were merely a drop in the bucket.

As for the properties and rental income transferred by Xi Zirong, he didn’t want to touch them; using a woman’s possessions was not his style.

“To think that I, Lin Beiliu, would also be stumped by money one day!”

Walking out of the pharmacy, Lin Tian inwardly gave a wry smile.

However, at that moment, a luxurious Mercedes-Benz parked right next to Lin Tian, the window rolled down, and an elderly man in Tang attire smiled warmly at him.

“Haha, young friend, I didn’t expect us to meet again!

What about the proposal I made earlier, have you thought it over?

How about getting in the car and we discuss it further?”

The person was Yu Qinghe.

He greeted Lin Tian, standing by the roadside, with a loud and hearty laugh.

Yu Qinghe!

Recognizing the elderly man, Lin Tian’s eyes brightened.

Had it not been for this chance encounter, he might have completely forgotten about this elderly man’s invitation.

Now I urgently need to enhance my cultivation, and I am short of funds.

If it does not affect my regular studies and cultivation, I could take on this job.

A monthly salary of a hundred thousand is just about enough for my cultivation needs at the Qi Refining First and Second Levels!

As for the job looking unusual, what of it?

As long as it’s legal and doesn’t go against my principles as Lin Beiliu!

With these thoughts, Lin Tian gave a calm smile and got into Yu Qinghe’s car.
