95: Chapter 95 Mysterious Ice Realm

Yingshui City was truly and genuinely lively today.

The arrival of the three Foundation Establishment Masters caused the watching Cultivators to fall silent instantly; they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

There were certainly quite a few Foundation Establishment Masters in Yingshui City, but very few were truly famous.

And these three who had appeared.

In the Yingshui City territory, they were ceiling-level existences among Foundation Establishment Masters—big shots who could make the entire city shake just by stamping their feet.

Usually, let alone meeting them, even catching a glimpse from afar would be considered good fortune.

But today, three had arrived at once!

Within the crowd, some recognized two of them, and their legs began to tremble.

"Oh my goodness... Isn't that the Gao Family's Old Ancestor, Gao Qingxiong? Look at that black robe, and the Evil Qi in his eyes—it can't be wrong!"

"The one next to him is also familiar; it's the Sun Family's Old Ancestor, Ancestor Sun Zhenhai! The two of them came together; this is going to be interesting."

The Old Ancestors of the Gao Family and Sun Family were Inner Sect Deacons of the Luoshui Sect.

The fact that both families dared to arrest people in Yingshui City without any interference from the Luoshui Sect relied entirely on the prestige of these two Old Ancestors.

What was even more surprising was the third Foundation Establishment Master who appeared.

This old man was wearing a faded green cloth robe and looked ordinary, just like an old traditional doctor setting up a stall on the street.

But no one dared to underestimate him.

Divine Doctor Wei!

This name carried enough weight to walk anywhere in Yingshui City.

Regardless of whether you were a wealthy merchant with vast fortunes, a Cultivator with astonishing strength, or just an ordinary commoner, as long as you fell ill, being examined by Divine Doctor Wei was like getting half your life back.

His medical skills were miraculous; it was said that even those high-and-mighty Core Formation Masters of the Luoshui Sect had to give him some Face.

Today, Divine Doctor Wei was actually standing in opposition to the Gao and Sun Family Old Ancestors!

What made everyone's scalp tingle even more was that, judging by the situation, Divine Doctor Wei was clearly here to protect someone!

Protecting whom?

Everyone subconsciously looked toward the center of the scene and, sure enough, saw that familiar figure—Li Qing.

A Loose Cultivator with no Sect or faction.

In an instant, the crowd was filled with wild speculation!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this plot twist is too intense, isn't it?"

"Indeed! The Gao Family Old Ancestor and Sun Family Old Ancestor coming out clearly meant they were looking to settle scores with Li Hu. First, to avenge their Juniors, and second, to regain Face for both families! But who could have guessed that Divine Doctor Wei would come out to stir things up!"

The crowd of onlookers exploded, and various whispers surged like a tide.

Everyone was guessing, what exactly was Divine Doctor Wei after? As a divine doctor who saves the world, why would he get involved in such grievances?

The expressions of Gao Qingxiong and Ancestor Sun Zhenhai were extremely ugly.

As Foundation Establishment Masters who had lived for over a hundred years, when had they ever suffered such frustration?

The fact that many experts from the Gao and Sun Families had been suppressed by a Loose Cultivator to the point where they couldn't lift their heads had already spread throughout Yingshui City, causing the Gao and Sun Families to lose all their Face.

Upon hearing this, they had come to demand an explanation. Firstly, they wanted to personally cripple Li Qing to vent their anger, and secondly, they wanted to intimidate those forces in Yingshui City that loved watching the excitement.

But they never expected that Divine Doctor Wei would emerge halfway!

"Old Man Wei," Gao Qingxiong spoke first, his voice booming in the air like muffled thunder, carrying uncontrollable anger.

"What is the meaning of this today?"

He stared fixedly at Divine Doctor Wei, his eyes full of malice.

Ancestor Sun Zhenhai also snorted coldly, his voice bone-chillingly cold:

"For the sake of a mere Qi Refining Stage Loose Cultivator, are you really going to tear up relations with our Gao and Sun Families and openly make things difficult for us?"

Once these words were spoken, the onlookers held their breath even more.

Tear up relations?

These three words carried too much weight!

In Yingshui City, the combined forces of the Gao and Sun Families were like the sky itself.

No matter how high Divine Doctor Wei's medical skills were, he was ultimately just one person.

If they really fought, it would be a question of whether Divine Doctor Wei could escape unscathed, let alone protect Li Qing.

Divine Doctor Wei, however, seemed not to hear the Killing Intent in their words, remaining as unhurried and composed as ever.

He stroked his goatee, looked at Gao Qingxiong and Ancestor Sun Zhenhai, and suddenly grinned:

"I say, Old Gao, Old Sun, don't be so hot-headed. I, Wei, did not come here to fight with you."

He paused, his gaze landing on Li Qing in the distance, his eyes carrying a hint of appreciation: "I have come to bring you two old friends a massive Immortal Opportunity!"

"Immortal Opportunity?"

Gao Qingxiong and Ancestor Sun Zhenhai were both taken aback simultaneously.

As soon as these two words were spoken, the anger on their Faces froze, replaced by total confusion.

Immortal Opportunity?

What was this old thing up to?

They had known Divine Doctor Wei for more than a year or two, and they both knew this Old Man Wei was an old fox, extremely cunning.

Now that he suddenly said he wanted to offer an Immortal Opportunity, it forced them to reconsider.

In the cultivation world, the words "Immortal Opportunity" were worth more than a thousand pieces of gold!

It represented Opportunity, represented Breakthrough, and represented reaching the pinnacle of life!

Gao Qingxiong and Ancestor Sun Zhenhai looked at each other, both seeing confusion in the other's eyes.

"What Immortal Opportunity?"

Gao Qingxiong couldn't help but ask, his tone softening slightly.

Divine Doctor Wei didn't waste words, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, and he suddenly closed his mouth.

No sound?

Not right!

Gao Qingxiong and Ancestor Sun Zhenhai only felt a crystal-clear voice suddenly ring in their ears, every word drilled clearly into their Sea of Consciousness:

"Xuanbing Secret Realm."

These four words had no aura fluctuation, no release of Spiritual Qi, as if they had sounded directly in their Sea of Consciousness.

This was a high-level technique of Sound Transmission!

"Xuanbing Secret Realm?"

Gao Qingxiong and Ancestor Sun Zhenhai's brains "buzzed," and they were instantly stunned.

They both certainly knew of the Xuanbing Secret Realm!

That was a Secret Realm exclusive to the five Sects!

The Luoshui Sect, Houtu Sect, Blazing Flame Sect, Golden Light Sect, and Green Wood Sect—these five major Sects could only open the Xuanbing Secret Realm once every fifty years. It was rich in resources and dense with Spiritual Qi, and most importantly, it grew the main herb for refining the foundation establishment pill—the mysterious ice flower.

The foundation establishment pill!

That was the necessary Medicinal Pill for breaking through from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage; it was priceless and impossible to obtain even with a thousand gold!

How many Cultivators were stuck in the Qi Refining Stage their whole lives simply because they lacked the foundation establishment pill and could not break through the Bottleneck.

But this Xuanbing Secret Realm, although precious, had frighteningly large Restrictions!

The entrance to the Secret Realm had a powerful Restriction, and only Cultivators with Qi Refining Stage cultivation could enter.

Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage had cultivation that was too high and could only sigh in despair.

Forcing their way in would not only lead to their death, but the Secret Realm might also be destroyed.

Gao Qingxiong and Ancestor Sun Zhenhai were both Foundation Establishment Masters; no matter how strong they were, they could not enter the Xuanbing Secret Realm.

They both realized it instantly.

This Immortal Opportunity that Divine Doctor Wei mentioned had nothing to do with them!

Then... who did it have to do with?

Both of their gazes turned in unison toward Li Qing.

Li Qing?

A Loose Cultivator, how could he possibly be related to the Xuanbing Secret Realm?

Just when the two were full of doubt, Divine Doctor Wei spoke again, this time still using Sound Transmission, his voice still clear:

"My little friend Li Hu, what is his strength like? You should have an idea in your hearts, right?"

What is his strength like?

Gao Qingxiong and Ancestor Sun Zhenhai's hearts skipped a beat.

Of course they had an idea!

Gao Quan was the Grand Elder of the Gao Family and was no ordinary Qi Refining Perfection; yet what was the result? He was defeated by Li Qing in a single move!

What did this indicate? It indicated that Li Qing's strength, while nominally at the Qi Refining Peak, was actually definitely above Qi Refining Perfection!
