Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 536: Chapter 536: Dragon Rankings Layout

After three days, it was the day Lin Dong, Li Qing, and Li Yanran had decided to head for Shi County.

The exact location of the quasi-Medicine King was in a range of mountains just beneath Shi County.

It would still need more than ten days to mature.

However, they had to go in advance, with Shi County as their first stop.

The drive from Jianghai City to Shi County would take a little over two hours.

Among the three of them, Lin Dong did not have a driver’s license, hence he could not take the wheel.

As for Li Qing, she was even less accustomed to driving. Ultimately, the task of driving fell on Li Yanran.

While driving, Li Yanran grumbled to Lin Dong, ”Lin Dong, having me serve as your driver is something you can boast about for years.”

Lin Dong chuckled but did not reply.

Instead, he turned to look at Li Qing beside him.

This Li Qing had been unusually friendly to him, leading Lin Dong to really wonder if she had taken a liking to the idea of a cradle-snatcher.

”Lin Dong, we’ve used our connections these past two days and found some information on the people and powerful forces heading for the quasi-Medicine King. Among them, there are three we find particularly troublesome.”

Lin Dong quickly asked, ”Who are they?”

Li Qing then shared with Lin Dong about those three challenging powerful forces.

First were the deaf and blind elders from the Qiao family, who were also interested in the quasi-Medicine King and, being right here in Jianghai, planned to vie for it as well.

For martial artists of their advanced age, the quasi-Medicine King had significant effects.

If consumed, it would ease their senility.

The second formidable person was Jiaye.

This Jiaye was the fifth disciple of King Kunlun.

He was also ranked tenth in the Dragon Rankings.

”You know, Lin Dong, Jiaye is also an admirer of my little aunt,” interjected Li Yanran, while they were talking about Jiaye.

Li Qing promptly glared at her, clearly disliking her mentioning such matters.

Li Yanran stuck out her tongue and hastily shut her mouth.

Curiosity inevitably arose in Lin Dong, ”What kind of strength does this Jiaye, ranked tenth in the Dragon Rankings, possess?”

”A Half-Step Earth Realm powerhouse,” answered Li Qing. ”Everyone ranking from the second to the twelfth in the Dragon Rankings, except for King Kunlun ranking first, is a Half-Step Earth Realm powerhouse!”

”And from the thirteenth place onwards, they are all at the peak level of Energy Conversion Master!”

”The strength levels in the Dragon Rankings, there’s a huge gorge between the first and the second, and another gorge between the twelfth and the thirteenth place.”

”Where would the Gu King rank in the Dragon Rankings?” Lin Dong asked, intrigued once more.

”The strength of the Gu King should place him around the tenth position. His strength is probably similar to Jiaye’s,” said Li Qing again.

At that moment, Li Yanran chimed in again, ”My little aunt is certainly not weaker than Jiaye; she’s just low-key, so she didn’t participate in the battle for the Dragon Rankings.”

Lin Dong nodded; he knew many experts, like Li Qing, preferred not to vie for places in Dragon or Tiger Rankings.

Thus, there were far more experts than the number listed on the Dragon Rankings.

Lin Dong then asked, ”What about the third troublesome power?”

”The third challenging force comes from Jiangbei Province,” replied Li Qing, ”It’s the Chen Clan of Jiangbei.”

”The Chen Clan of Jiangbei is the first family there. They have an old monster ranked sixth in the Dragon Rankings overseeing it.”

”Of course, that old monster is currently in seclusion. He didn’t personally come, but the people he sent are definitely strong, so we must be cautious...”

”At the moment, that’s all we could find out. These three forces are the most troublesome. Each of them has a Half-Step Earth Realm powerhouse...”

While chatting with Li Qing, Lin Dong quickly drove towards Shi County.

About two hours later, the car arrived at Shi County.

Lin Dong was all too familiar with Shi County.

While Lin Dong attended elementary school and junior high school in a small town, he went to high school at County No.1 Middle School in Shi County.

Having spent three years there, Lin Dong was very familiar with every street of the relatively small county town.

Looking through the car window at the county town, Lin Dong found himself lost in memories of the past.

”Which is the best hotel in Shi County?” Li Yanran asked, turning to Lin Dong.

”Shi County Grand Hotel,” Lin Dong replied.

Being only a small county town, the best hotel was merely four stars - the Shi County Grand Hotel.

The car soon made its way to the Shi County Grand Hotel.

Looking at the hotel before her, Li Yanran frowned and said, ”This is the best hotel your county town has? It’s really so-so.”

To Li Yanran, a damsel of Capital City, a four-star hotel was merely trash in her eyes.

Li Qing spoke up, ”Stop complaining. We will need to stay in the county town for a few days. We have to study the route into the mountains and prepare some things!”

With a sigh, Li Yanran conceded, ”That’s the only option then.”

After saying this, she looked at Lin Dong and demanded, ”Lin Dong, I’m staying at such a sub-par hotel just for you for the first time, you know.”

Lin Dong glanced at her, ”I didn’t ask you to come.”

”Hey, Lin Dong, aren’t you a bit too cold?” Li Yanran pouted, ”No way, you have to make it up to me. You’re taking me out tonight!”

That was probably her real intention.

Lin Dong, feeling helpless, could only agree.

After checking into the hotel and settling their things, Lin Dong took the two of them to Shi County’s food street.

He wanted to introduce them to some of the local specialties and delicious food.
