The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 778: Chapter 774: The Lingering Spirit of Niu Tongtian (Third Update!)

In the private box.

Xian Jingzheng was angrily stamped on by Jin Gaopeng, and his ribs at the chest were all broken.

He screamed in agony as he curled up on the ground, his body trembling and his face filled with terror.

“Spare me…”

Xian Jingzheng wanted to roll over and cling to Jin Gaopeng’s leg or try to crawl towards Lin Tian, but the pain in his chest was so severe that he couldn’t move and could only beg in a low voice.

But at this moment, Jin Gaopeng had no intention of paying attention to Xian Jingzheng; he respectfully bowed to Lin Tian, his face uneasy.

He hadn’t been held accountable for the last incident and now he had once again crossed paths with trouble; he was truly terrified.

“How much money did you take from him?”

Lin Tian’s extremely cold gaze fell upon Jin Gaopeng, his voice indifferent to the extreme.

Bang~

Scared, Jin Gaopeng knelt on the ground, chattering teeth trembling as he replied in terror, “Mr. Lin… I… I only took two hundred thousand! I… I didn’t know it was you; I thought he was targeting some nameless nobody, and I just thought I could take the opportunity to make a quick buck…”

“Make a quick buck? Is this how you’ve always operated? Even though Hengling Gang is an underground force and somewhat shady, not everything crooked is in your line of work!”

Lin Tian frowned, and coldly said, “Deal with this man and then go and take your punishment from Huang Juun, let it be three fingers! If something like this happens again, you’ll regret it too late!”

“Thank… Thank you, Mr. Lin!”

Jin Gaopeng was not scared of losing three fingers; in fact, he was ecstatically thanking Lin Tian, then he immediately dragged away the screaming Xian Jingzheng, who had started to show signs of yellow between his legs.

In an instant, only Lin Tian and Yang Guoqun were left in the private box.

“Mr. Lin…”

Yang Guoqun swallowed nervously and started to speak cautiously.

Now alone with him, the atmosphere in the box was so oppressive that it gave him palpitations.

Lin Tian’s terrifying skill and ruthless methods made Yang Guoqun lose any thoughts of defiance.

“What’s the situation? Where exactly is the Ghost Raising Taoist?”

What Lin Tian cared about most now was the whereabouts of the Ghost Raising Taoist. As long as the other’s strength wasn’t beyond his capacity to contend with, if the Ancient Map Fragment was on him, Lin Tian might have to use every trick in the book to capture and kill him.

“Mr. Lin, we received this news near the borders of Yundian Province.”

After a brief consideration, Yang Guoqun softly began to speak, “They said the Ghost Raising Taoist had been spotted near Tusk City in Yundian Province, but no one knows exactly where he went after that! After all, the whereabouts of such esteemed figures are very hard for us to trace!”

“Then send people, help me spread the news about Changsheng Medical Hall, so that the Ghost Raising Taoist will come to us by himself!”

Lin Tian rubbed his head, feeling a bit of headache. Searching for a person like this was like finding a needle in a haystack, but for the Ancient Map, he could only rely on this most clumsy of methods.

“Sure, Mr. Lin, rest assured, I’ll take care of it smoothly!”

Yang Guoqun nodded in respect and continued to speak, “Apart from the news about the Ghost Raising Taoist, there are three other pieces of information. Mr. Huang specifically entrusted me with them, thinking they might be useful to you. He originally wanted to tell you himself, but he’s been reorganizing the internals of Hengling Gang these past few days, so he sent me. I hope you don’t blame him, Mr. Lin!”

Lin Tian slightly nodded, his face showing no emotion, and casually replied, “Let’s hear them!”

“The other three pieces of information…”

Yang Guoqun paused for a moment, carefully explaining, “First, recently, many experts have been appearing in the territory of Liiu Yuan City, coming from Thainan and the Miao Region. They haven’t caused any trouble, but it always feels like something is about to happen…”

“Second is an incident that occurred at Wuxuan City’s Xuanyuan Mountain. Rumors suggest Xuanyuan Mountain has changed hands, and Ren Jiutian, the one in charge, fled with only his most trusted few to Yundian. Their fate remains unknown…”

“Lastly, there have been small-scale Beast Tides in the Ten Thousand Mountains. The beasts that appeared aren’t the lions and tigers we normally see but all sorts of bizarre creatures, so strange!”

“These are all pieces of information obtained by our people. Although we can’t be sure if they’re true, I still wanted to inform you, Mr. Lin!”

After listening to Yang Guoqun’s words, Lin Tian fell silent for a while.

He had heard about the Beast Tide from Huangfu Cheng before.

Only Xuanyuan Mountain had nothing to do with him, whatever will be, will be!

“You just need to lead the Ghost Raising Taoist to me, don’t worry about anything else…”

Lin Tian glanced at the time, stood up, and said, “As soon as there’s any news about the Ghost Raising Taoist, call me immediately!”

“Yes, Mr. Lin!”

Yang Guoqun’s face lit up with joy when he heard Lin Tian allowing him to call directly, seeing it as a chance to directly connect with the latter.

Leaving the Manbu Bar.

Outside, the sky had already darkened.

Without any more hesitation, Lin Tian took to the quiet streets and quickly trod Shadow Step towards the Backbone of Bone Burial Mountain.

In less than ten minutes, Lin Tian arrived at the base of Bone Burial Mountain.

After surveying the surroundings with his Divine Sense and noticing no one else, he headed straight for the mountaintop, smooth as a mirror.

There, he did not rush down but sat cross-legged on the mountaintop to begin his cultivation.

The Yin Qi was too dense on the top of this ridge, he couldn’t miss out on it.

An hour later.

Lin Tian stood up, ceasing his cultivation.

The Yin Qi around him had thinned out; he had absorbed most of it from this place.

But Lin Tian couldn’t feel happy, instead frowning greatly.

Despite absorbing so much Yin Qi, the grey-black Foundation Establishment Platform in his Dantian remained still, like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

“Forget it, I have no other choice right now, I can only continue collecting cultivation resources!”

Lin Tian sighed helplessly and looked down at the valley below.

The flowers were still bright, the dilapidated hut stood there, and the tall, eerie Nine Celestial Totem Pillar pierced the sky.

With no one at the entrance to the valley, Lin Tian took a leap and swooped down.

“Death Spirit Grass, there are at least twenty plants, if refined into Elixirs, the energy provided will be substantial!”

Content, Lin Tian nodded and set about picking all the Death Spirit Grass at the entrance of the valley, tossing them into his Qiankun Bag.

However.

Just as Lin Tian had collected half, suddenly two dark shadows burst forth from the side.

“Who’s there!”

The abrupt appearance of the shadows changed Lin Tian’s expression drastically, Evil like Xiaotian appeared in his hand in an instant, and he shouted sharply.

The two shadows appeared so suddenly that he hadn’t been able to detect any trace of them.

In such a case, either the other party was so powerful that he was beyond his capacity to resist or sense, or the other party had cultivated some bizarre Cultivation Technique or Secret Skill.

“Hahaha… Daoist Master arrives! Boy, the remaining Death Spirit Grass, I, Niu Tongtian, will take them as a loan! I, the Daoist Master, will repay you double in the future…”

A strange laugh echoed as the Taoist, in a worn-out Daoist robe, ran around the entrance to the valley, quickly picking the remaining Death Spirit Grass, then turned around to Lin Tian with a big laugh.

“It’s that Taoist, Niu Tongtian, again! Who exactly is this man, he’s like a persistent ghost…”

Lin Tian’s face began to darken, that old Taoist had appeared again, the most eerie thing was his ability to come and go without a trace, leaving Lin Tian both shocked and puzzled.
