Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 747: Chapter 745, Found a Backer

Xu Wendong always believed that the spiritual energy revival was a good thing, after all, without spiritual energy, a cultivator could not cultivate, or even survive.

But now, it seemed that the spiritual energy revival was definitely not a good thing.

Because, when the spiritual energy revived, some terrifying entities would also awaken in the world.

Like the mountain spirit in front of him, whose true form he had not even seen.

At the same time, he also understood why so many cultivators from the Kunlun Mountains Minor World entered the mundane world to seek opportunities during this time.

There truly were many heart-throbbing opportunities in the mundane world.

However, to seize these opportunities, one had to see if their strength was formidable enough.

”Let’s leave here first.” Xu Wendong abandoned the idea of picking the White Jade Lingzhi for now. Although his strength wasn’t enough to approach the White Jade Lingzhi, if he hid inside the Minor World, even a powerful mountain spirit living here wouldn’t be able to hurt him.

However, if he picked the White Jade Lingzhi first, it would definitely anger the powerful mountain spirit, which would affect his search for opportunities in the Qinling Mountains.

Therefore, he planned to head to the Baiyue Stone first. If there was nothing to gain from the Baiyue Stone, he could pick the White Jade Lingzhi on the return trip.

In this way, even if the mountain spirit wanted revenge, it couldn’t find him.

After bypassing this desolate area, the three continued towards the Baiyue Stone, but Xu Wendong, due to his injuries, moved much slower than before.

”I think I know what that is.”

Looking at the wound that wouldn’t heal, a trace of fear flashed across Xu Wendong’s face, ”Legend has it that there’s a kind of vine in the world that can slay immortals and gods, and even pierce through voids, destroying everything.”

”The Slayer Vine?”

Ye Qingxin and Qian Duoduo shouted the name in unison, their pupils trembling, eyes full of astonishment.

Xu Wendong nodded solemnly, ”There are many powerful mountain spirits in the world, and the Slayer Vine is definitely first among them. Once trapped by it, very few escape.”

”Moreover, even if someone does escape, the wounds are difficult to heal.”

Xu Wendong had read about the Slayer Vine in the books of the Penglai Immortal Island Minor World. Clearly, his current injuries matched the characteristics of being hurt by the Slayer Vine.

Ye Qingxin’s heart was shaken, ”I really didn’t expect the Qinling Mountains to nurture a Slayer Vine, luckily its strength isn’t too strong, otherwise we’d be done for.”

Xu Wendong nodded with lingering fear, then, as he continued on the road, he looked around, picking some herbs to apply to the wound.

Though his injury wasn’t too severe, it affected his walking; with the aid of herbs, recovery would be faster and also helped relieve pain.

Eventually, the three still arrived at their destination: the Baiyue Stone.

This mountain stood at an elevation of 2,800 meters, and atop the mountain one could clearly see a human-shaped stone statue kneeling on the ground, hands clasped at its brow, worshiping westward.

Xu Wendong sat on the ground, murmuring to himself, ”What’s the connection between Moonwatch Village and the Baiyue Stone?”

Ye Qingxin said, ”There seems to be some kind of karmic relationship.”

Xu Wendong remained silent, quietly sitting on the ground to heal his injuries. Although wounded by the Slayer Vine, his injuries were not severe, and with some herbal application, his body’s recovery was strong, and the pain in his limbs had lessened significantly.

”Wendong, this stone statue seems to be looking in the direction of Moonwatch Village.” Qian Duoduo handed his phone to Xu Wendong; on it was the satellite map of the area they were in, and according to the direction of the statue’s eyes, it pointed to Moonwatch Village.

”No, no.” Xu Wendong felt confused, ”Moonwatch Village is near the entry point of the Qinling Mountains, and it’s built on the back side of the Qinling Mountains, you can’t see the moon from that village.”

”It might just be a coincidence between them, and there’s no evidence the Baiyue Stone has a direct relation with Medicine King Valley.”

”Let’s not overthink it, let’s return tomorrow!”

Having encountered the Slayer Vine coming here, Xu Wendong dared not let down his guard. Though the Qinling Mountains might hold many opportunities, his strength was too weak; he did not want to take the risk.

Just then, a rustling footstep sounded from a distance, followed by a surge of powerful auras, causing Xu Wendong’s face to change abruptly.

He sensed a familiar presence, it was the rich second-generation youth Han Kai, whom he had met at the airport. Without thinking too much, he immediately told Ye Qingxin and Qian Duoduo, ”You two, hide quickly!” and with that, he brought both of them into the Minor World.

Actually, Xu Wendong could have hidden too. By hiding in the Minor World, no one could discover their presence. The opponent had three Foundation Establishment Stage experts and over a dozen Qi Refinement Realm experts. Even if he had two magic artifacts, confronting them head-on wasn’t feasible.

But he still wanted to take a gamble.

As the saying goes, risk it for a bicycle and it might turn into a motorcycle!

In the darkness, Han Kai stormed over in a rage, ”Qian Duoduo, damn it, come out, you bastard! Eh, why’s it only you, you little wretch? Where’s Qian Duoduo?”

The cultivators beside him also showed puzzled expressions. They could sense the aura of Qian Duoduo and Ye Qingxin, but for some reason, their auras suddenly disappeared, a situation they had never encountered before.

Xu Wendong smiled slightly, ”Looks like Young Master Han found himself a backer!”

Han Kai replied smugly, ”It’s not my Han family finding a backer, it’s my Han family reuniting with the clan, becoming an affiliated family of the Kunlun Mountains Minor World.”

Han Kai hadn’t known about the Kunlun Mountains Minor World before. But after his naked run, his father had informed him about the Kunlun Mountains Minor World and told him that the Han family had ancestors living there with great power.

Han Kai didn’t know how strong his family’s experts were, but his father had said that even ten Qian Wantian wouldn’t be their match.

Because of this, he brought the Han family’s experts into the Qinling Mountains because he knew Qian Duoduo had also come here.

Of course, coming here wasn’t just because of Qian Duoduo.

More so, the Han family seniors from Kunlun Mountains wanted to come here to seek opportunities, dealing with Qian Duoduo and Xu Wendong was just a little matter on the side.

Xu Wendong sighed helplessly, ”Becoming someone’s lackey and speaking so grandiosely, none of your actions align with human decency!”

”Damn it, you’re at death’s door and still have the nerve to quibble? Do you believe I’ll dismember you right now?” Han Kai’s face darkened, recalling the public streaking incident at the airport; although he had worn underwear on his head, it had become a lifelong disgrace.

”Dismember me?” Xu Wendong smirked disdainfully, ”Do you think these guys can hurt me?”
