Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

In my previous life, between Fang Bai and the Hundred Flowers Empress, one was affectionate and the other willing; if not for the later war between the eight top-tier powers and the Emperor’s Palace, then over those thousand years they might already have become immortal partners.

In this life, after Fang Bai returned to the Immortal Realm, he learned that the Hundred Flowers Empress had gone to temper herself in the Nine Nether Thunder Sea to avenge him, hoping to use that to increase her strength.

But on Fang Bai’s trip into the Nine Nether Thunder Sea, he only found one of the Bipartite Dual Swords that the Hundred Flowers Empress left behind there, and saw no trace of her.

Fang Bai did not believe that the Hundred Flowers Empress had already fallen; in the years since leaving the Nine Nether Thunder Sea, he had been constantly searching for news of her.

What Fang Bai had not expected was that in the Space Immortal Ring of that female immortal from the Three Friends of Lonely Mountain, there would actually be one of the Hundred Flowers Empress’s Bipartite Dual Swords; this made him both happy and worried.

He was happy because the Bipartite Dual Swords were the Hundred Flowers Empress’s Emperor’s Instruments; perhaps, by relying on this sword, he could follow the clues and track down some trace of the Hundred Flowers Empress.

He was worried because, as the Hundred Flowers Empress’s personal Emperor’s Instruments, the Bipartite Dual Swords were now no longer on her person at all, which meant she might have encountered a great crisis.

The female immortal leading the way in front heard the conversation between Fang Bai and Zhuge Lian and inwardly scoffed.

In her view, that purple longsword could not possibly be an Emperor’s Instrument, and as for that young immortal claiming to be "good friends" with the Hundred Flowers Empress, that was even more laughable.

One must know that Emperor’s Instruments are extremely spiritual; once they recognize a master, they will not easily betray and change owners. If other immortals want to approach them, they will face their attacks.

Yet when she first obtained this purple longsword, she had not seen it react at all, and just now when Fang Bai held it, she had not seen it release any hostility.

From this it could be concluded that the purple longsword was definitely not an Emperor’s Instrument.

According to rumor, that Hundred Flowers Empress was cold and aloof, keeping a respectful distance from any male immortals. Other than the former Emperor’s Palace Master having some dealings with her and barely counting as a friend, she had never been heard to have entanglements with any other male immortal.

Besides, that young male immortal behind her had a light immortal age and his cultivation level was only High Rank Immortal Emperor Realm. What qualifications did he have to be friends with the Hundred Flowers Empress?

"Perhaps they are deliberately saying it for me to hear, wanting to use the name of the Hundred Flowers Empress to intimidate me?"

The female immortal thought so to herself.

As for Wu De and the other five immortals, they naturally did not doubt Fang Bai’s words.

Fang Bai wished to rebuild the Emperor’s Palace and take revenge on the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors, yet his current strength was still far too weak. Since the Hundred Flowers Empress was Fang Bai’s friend, they could only pray that on this trip to Qingping Immortal City they would be able to find her.

Qingping Immortal City was in the Northern Wasteland of the Shentian Domain, several million li away from Fang Bai and the others.

Such a distance, for immortals below the Emperor Realm, was extremely far; if they relied solely on their own flight, who knew when they would arrive.

Therefore, while flying, whenever Fang Bai and the others passed an Immortal City and found a Teleportation Array within it, they would make use of the array to speed up their journey, striving to reach Qingping Immortal City as soon as possible.

However, every Immortal City’s Teleportation Array was guarded by immortals, and immortals needed to pay a certain amount of cultivation resources to be allowed to enter the array.

Fortunately, Fang Bai had stored a large amount of cultivation resources in his Five Elements Space Ring; otherwise, after his group of six immortals had ridden the Teleportation Arrays a few times, their cultivation resources would have been completely depleted.

When they were still several hundred thousand li from Qingping Immortal City, Fang Bai and the five immortals switched to riding Immortal Birds in flight.

Those Immortal Birds had been tamed by Fang Bai and all possessed strength comparable to the Immortal Emperor Realm; their flight speed was extremely fast, and after a few days they saw the outline of Qingping Immortal City.

"Qingping Immortal City is just ahead!"

The female immortal of the Three Friends of Lonely Mountain pointed forward, quietly letting out a breath of relief, thinking that as long as she entered the Immortal City and found that stall owner in the Cultivation Resource Exchange Market, she would be able to obtain the antidote to the Erosion Pill and regain her freedom.

Qingping Immortal City was administered by two Immortal Emperor Realm Peak experts, and now belonged to one of the power spheres of the Ice River Empress.

When Fang Bai and the others arrived outside the city, in accordance with the city’s rules, they dismounted from the backs of the birds and entered the Immortal City through the city gate.

"Qingping Immortal City was founded a million years ago. In the past it was under the dominion of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, but now it has been seized by the Ice River Empress... However, what they have taken, we will reclaim sooner or later!"

Walking through Qingping Immortal City, Fang Bai sized up the Immortal Palaces and Immortal Halls all around, while transmitting a voice message to Wu De, Great Sage Sun, Zhuge Lian, and Xiao Ying.

Wu De and the other four immortals had not expected that this vast Qingping Immortal City, with its forest of Immortal Palaces, had once belonged to the Emperor’s Palace; when they heard Fang Bai’s last sentence, their blood boiled, and they all nodded heavily.

"Do you see that..."

Fang Bai pointed at the cluster of Immortal Palaces and Immortal Halls in the center of the Immortal City, his eyes flashing cold light, and said, "That palace complex is the City Lord Mansion of the Emperor’s Palace. In the past, disciples of the Emperor’s Palace were stationed there; now, however, it is garrisoned by the forces under the Ice River Empress... Since we’ve come to Qingping Immortal City this time, if we don’t present the Ice River Empress with a ’big gift’, it wouldn’t be right!"

Wu De and the other four immortals could more or less guess what Fang Bai meant by "big gift". Their spirits rose; they rubbed their fists, eager to move.

The female immortal did not know why Wu De and the others suddenly became so excited; she turned her head to glance at them, feeling very puzzled.

Qingping Immortal City had fallen into the Ice River Empress’s hands for a thousand years already; all traces of the Emperor’s Palace within the city had long been wiped clean. Now, within the Immortal City, several enormous statues of the Ice River Empress, carved from jade, stood tall, proclaiming her rule over this city.

Fang Bai’s gaze fell on those statues of the Ice River Empress, and he sneered inwardly without cease.

Before long, that female immortal of the Three Friends of Lonely Mountain led Fang Bai and the others to a Cultivation Resource Exchange Market within Qingping Immortal City and stopped in front of one of the stalls.

"Hongyu Fairy, you’ve come again? Haha, welcome, welcome!"

The stall owner was a High Rank Immortal Emperor Realm expert. Seeing the female immortal, he bowed and scraped, his face full of flattery.

The female immortal named "Hongyu Fairy" nodded to the stall owner, then turned back and said to Fang Bai, "That purple longsword was exchanged at this stall. Where is the antidote to the Erosion Pill?"

"No rush."

Fang Bai took out the purple longsword and asked the stall owner, "Is this Immortal Artifact yours?"

The stall owner saw that Fang Bai’s immortal age was very young yet his cultivation was actually equal to his own, and he was greatly surprised. After sizing up the purple longsword a few times, he smiled and said, "This Immortal Artifact was indeed mine before; later Hongyu Fairy exchanged for it from me... May I ask what business brings Fellow Immortal here?"

Fang Bai smiled, flicked an Immortal Pill to Hongyu Fairy, and then said, "Here is the antidote; you’re done here."

Then he asked the stall owner, "Fellow Immortal’s honorific title?"

The stall owner said, "This immortal is the ’Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor’. And Fellow Immortal?"

Fang Bai said, "Wushuang Immortal Emperor!"
