Xuan Zi, Scorned by the Medicine Immortal Douluo, and a Deal with Her
After dealing with Chen Zifeng and the others who wanted to express their gratitude but were all inarticulate, Jiang Yu ordered four meals.
Every day was filled with troubles, and it wasn't until everything was resolved that Jiang Yu belatedly realized he was hungry.
As expected of the Star Emperor Hotel, the largest hotel in the Imperial Capital directly under the Star Luo Imperial Family, its speed of action was beyond imagination. Jiang Yu barely entered the room and hadn't even sat down properly when four very generous and exquisitely prepared meals were brought over by two beautiful and scantily clad maids.
The speed was so fast that Jiang Yu even suspected that the Star Emperor Hotel was using pre-made dishes.
Of course, this was just Jiang Yu things.
To provide the best living environment for the more than 100 teams participating in this competition, the Star Emperor Hotel has specially hired more than 100 food-type Soul Master to take turns on duty. In fact, if you wish, the Star Emperor Hotel is even willing to provide you with some private services that cannot be mentioned.
After all, those who can come to Star Luo City, known as the "Imperial Capital that will never fall," to participate in the competition are all top geniuses on the continent. And if someone is "lucky enough" enough to get a soul in one shot, the Star Luo Empire will have a chance to obtain the inheritance of a top-level Martial Soul for free. This can be considered a kind of implicit transaction in which neither side feels they are losing out.
As for the title of this Imperial Capital that will never fall, Jiang Yu felt that the Star Luo Imperial Family had never taken historical patterns into account.
Often, the higher and more extraordinary the title of a power, the more its final development almost always goes in the opposite direction of what people expect.
Take, for example, the Spirit Hall, the Soul Master Holy Land ten thousand years ago. At that time, the Spirit Hall had won the hearts of almost all the common people, but it was still defeated by the combined forces of the two great empires in the Battle of Jialing Pass and eventually disappeared into the long river of history.
Later that evening, Xuan Zi returned to the Star Emperor Hotel with an elderly woman with white hair and a face full of wrinkles.
The old woman glanced at the ten injured people lined up neatly in the hall, and her brows immediately furrowed.
After releasing her Soul Power to examine Yao Haoxuan's body, she turned her head and looked at Xuan Zi beside her, asking:
"Xuan Zi, what exactly happened? Logically speaking, even a Soul Sage- level Evil Soul Master shouldn't be able to put your Main Team Shrek Seven Monsters. Could it be that you encountered Evil Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level or higher?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi closed his eyes in pain, then shook his head and said:
"No, the opponent was only a Soul King, but he controlled the terrifying Soul Skill Corpse Explosion. The corpses of over a hundred Soul Master exploded simultaneously, including three Soul King. Furthermore, this happened when they were completely unprepared, which is why these little guys..."
"Then where are you?" Wang Xian'er frowned even more. "With your Level 98 cultivation, even if it's just for a split second and these little guys can't react in time, are you really incapable of doing it?"
"I..."
Xuan Zi was speechless.
He couldn't very well say that he found the cave smelly and full of corpses unappetizing, so he stayed outside eating and drinking, could he?
Seeing Xuan Zi's appearance, the Immortal Medicine Immortal Douluo understood perfectly well.
She and Mu En were geniuses of the same era. In fact, she had even clashed head-on with the Shrek Seven Monsters led by Xuan Zi when she was young. Therefore, she knew her old friend Xuan Zi far more than Jiang Yu and the others imagined.
"You've already risen to the position of leader of the Sea God Pavilion, yet your personality remains unchanged from back then. In this respect, I despise you and feel sorry for these kids."
"As an old friend, let me remind you, Xuan Zi, if you continue like this, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later."
The Medicine Immortal Douluo shook her head and then said no more. A light flashed in her eyes, and her eyes instantly turned emerald green, a feeling full of sunlight and life. Immediately afterward, the Medicine Immortal Douluo's body also underwent a strange change.
Behind her, pairs of emerald green wings slowly unfurled. These emerald green wings were not large, but there were as many as five pairs. With each pair of wings appearing, the life force in the air would become stronger. When all the wings appeared, the entire space was like an ocean of life, making people feel very comfortable.
When the fifth pair of wings finally appeared, the increasingly youthful Medicine Immortal Douluo had become like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, with bright, beautiful eyes and captivating charm. It was a beauty full of Life Aura, and everyone who saw her immediately felt a strong sense of kinship and couldn't help but want to get close to her.
Upon seeing the Medicine Immortal Douluo in this state, everyone's faces showed amazement.
If they hadn't witnessed the changes in the Medicine Immortal Douluo with their own eyes, they would never have imagined that just thirty seconds ago she was an old woman on the verge of death.
The Medicine Immortal Douluo's treatment method is very simple: he extracts the life force from the surrounding space and continuously injects it into the injured person's body to awaken the injured person's own potential.
This method addresses both the symptoms and the root cause, and is considered the highest level of treatment.
The treatment method used by Elder Zhuang of the Sea God Pavilion, which accelerates wound healing by infusing life force, is indeed much inferior to the treatment method of the Medicine Immortal Douluo.
The instant the Medicine Immortal Douluo made his move, a massive emerald green vortex appeared above the Star Emperor Hotel, frantically devouring the surrounding life force.
About fifteen minutes later, the Medicine Immortal Douluo slowly withdrew her hand. After dispelling the Martial Soul Possession, she transformed back into the form of an old woman.
She then gave everyone a few words of advice before gracefully departing under Xuan Zi's grateful gaze.
Given the current situation, Shrek Academy will be a formidable rival to the Star Luo National Academy after the competition begins. The Medicine Immortal Douluo is treating members of the Shrek delegation at this moment undoubtedly carries a hint of aiding the enemy.
But after hearing Xuan Zi's request, she still came.
Seeing that everyone was in much better condition than before, Xuan Zi couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps in terms of beauty alone Medicine Immortal Douluo might not be the most beautiful woman of their era, but if you add her temperament and personality, then the title of the most beautiful woman of the Medicine Immortal Douluo is well-deserved.
Having resolved the major issue, Xuan Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and disappeared again with his wine gourd.
Seeing that everyone had regained much of their energy, Wang Yan, the team leader, smiled. He was just about to call everyone together to discuss tactics when he turned around and found that Jiang Yu, who had been standing next to Ning Tian and the other person, had disappeared.
"Well?"
Wang Yan was taken aback, then quickly asked everyone if they knew where Jiang Yu had gone. But it was obvious that if Jiang Yu wanted to leave, not only would they, a group of mid-level Soul Master, be able to find him, but even Xuan Zi would have to use his Spiritual Power to conduct a large-scale search to locate him.
Meanwhile, the Medicine Immortal Douluo, who was returning to the Imperial City's Worship Hall, suddenly seemed to sense something, stopped, and turned to look at the void beside him.
"Young man, you've gone to all this trouble to follow me, is there something you want to ask of me? If so, say it here. If you go any further in, be careful that the royal family's honored Douluo doesn't mistake you for a threat and eliminate you."
The Medicine Immortal Douluo spoke softly, but his voice quickly dissipated with the sound of the wind in mid-air.
"Hehe... Immortal Medicine Immortal, please forgive me. I Jiang Yu, and I would like to make a deal with you that would be of great benefit to both of us. What do you think?"
Amidst the howling wind, a flash of silver light appeared, Jiang Yu slowly stepped out of the spatial rift, revealing a perfect smile to the Medicine Immortal Douluo.
