Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 818: Chapter 821 The Task Arrives

After everything was over, Chen Tian’en and Ye Hai returned to Cangming County with Xia Liu.

On the way, Xia Liu asked Chen Tian’en about the situation in Yanjing.

Since the fall of Liu Dao, the Liu Family had completely declined.

It wouldn’t be long before one of the four super clans might be eliminated.

Of course, that’s not certain—what if another family suddenly rises to take their place?

The Heavenly Mansion, though it underwent some reorganization, was still stable overall.

This eased Xia Liu’s nerves considerably.

Upon returning to the inn, Xia Liu wrote a prescription and had Li Dazhuang accompany Qingzi to purchase the necessary items.

This time, Tie Shan’s injuries weren’t overly severe, but to ensure no lasting complications, the use of well-coordinated medicinal materials was essential.

Until evening, Xia Liu chatted freely with Chen Tian’en and Ye Hai.

During this time, quite a few Earth-Rank Warriors, and even Heaven-Rank Warriors, arrived outside the inn.

However, none of them dared to easily step inside.

They could see Xia Liu, Chen Tian’en, and Ye Hai chatting away leisurely.

From a distance, their gazes fixated tightly.

The inn had essentially become the most prestigious and imposing place.

However, after inquiring, they found that this inn was where relatively low-ranking martial artists stayed.

This made the martial artists outside the inn feel extremely awkward.

After all, Xia Liu was the Heavenly Mansion Chief, and the Osmanthus Sect was filled with powerful figures.

The fact that they were staying in a “higher-class” place than them was practically a slap in the face.

It wasn’t until nightfall that the martial artists in the distance finally left.

Chen Tian’en and Ye Hai also went off to find rooms to rest.

Tomorrow was the day of the Western Province representatives’ meeting—they needed to be well-prepared.

However, before Xia Liu went to sleep, a phone call left him invigorated.

The call was from the Yanjing region.

“Hello, is this Boss Ye?”

“Yes, Miss Guo has already returned from overseas. You should be preparing to set off soon.”

Ye Xuan’s voice carried a distinct anticipation, a kind of indescribable excitement.

To preserve one’s youth—who wouldn’t want that?

“She’s already back? Do you have her detailed information? Send me a copy.”

Xia Liu spoke with a grave tone.

“It’s already been sent—someone named Glasses has received it.”

“Uh, alright then. I’ll look into it once I return tomorrow.”

After a brief hesitation, Xia Liu realized Ye Xuan seemed even more anxious than himself.

“Brother Xia Liu, are you going to deal with the Youth Preserving Pill?”

Li Qianqian’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

She had overheard the content of the conversation.

“Mm-hmm, roughly time to start taking action.”

Seeing the gleam in Li Qianqian’s gentle and mysterious gaze, Xia Liu suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

“Ah, well then, let me wish Brother Xia Liu a successful return in advance.”

“That’s not quite the way to celebrate. Haha, you know what to do, don’t you, Qianqian…”

Hiss…

Before Xia Liu could finish speaking, he tilted his head up and drew in a cold breath…

The next day, Xia Liu sought out Peng Zheng and Peng Hai.

Since they were the Principal and Deputy Hall Masters of the Western Province Heavenly Mansion, he had the authority to mobilize them.

When Peng Zheng and Peng Hai saw him approach, they were so thrilled they nearly knelt before him.

“I’m here today to ask you for a favor.”

“Chief, whatever it is, please just give the word. We won’t hesitate to help!”

Peng Zheng and Peng Hai’s blood surged with excitement.

The fact that Xia Liu was “asking” for help showed the character of this newly appointed Chief.

“I’ll be leaving on a trip in a few days, and Xiaotian might not be around at the Osmanthus Sect often, so I’d like one of you to help guard it for a while.”

“I’ll go!”

“I’ll go!”

Peng Zheng and Peng Hai eagerly vied for the task.

Being able to assist Xia Liu was a lifetime honor—they couldn’t let the opportunity slip by.

“Chief, how about the two of us both go? There aren’t many matters to handle here at the branch hall anyway, and we’ll only be idle otherwise.”

“Yes, please allow us to both assist.”

“Alright, fine, but one of you will go first, and the other can head over after finishing up here. When I return, I’ll reward you with an Earth-Rank Cultivation Technique or Martial Arts Skill.”

After some consideration, Xia Liu decided to accommodate their request.

“Earth-Rank Cultivation Technique or Martial Arts Skill!!!!!!”

When they heard these words, Peng Zheng and Peng Hai were utterly stunned.

Earth-Rank Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts Skills were exceptionally rare across the entire Warrior Realm.

If such treasures were to circulate publicly, they would undoubtedly trigger a frenzy.

Such scenarios would lead to fierce battles and even bloodshed in the quest for these treasures.

One could only imagine how precious Earth-Rank Cultivation Techniques and Skills were.

And yet, all they needed to do was guard the Osmanthus Sect to receive such treasures!

For a moment, Peng Zheng and Peng Hai were at a complete loss for words.

“The details can be discussed further when I return. For now, one of you can come with me today.”

“Thank you, Chief!”

“Let Peng Zheng go with you first. In a few days, I’ll head over once I’ve wrapped things up here.”

As the Principal Hall Master, Peng Hai responsibly assigned the task.

“Alright then, gather your things and arrange for a vehicle. Wait for me outside the city.”

“Chief, we could have the car drive to—”

“No, no, rules are rules. Even I can’t break the local customs of Cangming County.”

Xia Liu promptly dismissed Peng Zheng’s suggestion. Violating the rules would send a message to the martial artists of Cangming County that regulations were arbitrary, which could tarnish his authority as Heavenly Mansion Chief.

“That was my mistake,” Peng Zheng said, bowing respectfully.

Xia Liu smiled slightly. “You’ll understand my ways as we get along. Go pack up—the disciples of the Osmanthus Sect will undoubtedly welcome you warmly.”

“Understood!”

After making these arrangements, Xia Liu returned to the inn.

Aside from Xiao Hu and Tie Shan, everyone else was gathered in the hall, chatting idly.

They all knew Xia Liu was preparing to head back.

This time, only Xia Liu and Li Qianqian would return first.

Everyone else would remain behind until the meeting concluded.

Lin Xiaotian, of course, would stay and uphold the prestige of the Osmanthus Sect.

Unexpectedly, after Xia Liu bid farewell to everyone, Li Qianqian descended from upstairs.

After greeting the others, she promptly pulled Xia Liu along, eager to leave quickly.

Seeing Xia Liu, a Path-Entering Martial Artist and a Heavenly Mansion Chief, unable to handle Li Qianqian, both Qingzi and Chen Tian’en couldn’t help but stifle their laughter.

With a hint of awkwardness, Xia Liu let himself be dragged by Li Qianqian as they made their way out of the city.

Along the way, every martial artist who saw Xia Liu bowed respectfully and cupped their fists, offering him the highest form of courtesy in the Warrior Realm.

Being pulled along by Li Qianqian, Xia Liu could only hurriedly toss out brief acknowledgments as he tried to catch up to her pace.

When the two arrived outside the city, Peng Zheng had already arranged for a car.

After asking a few questions, Li Qianqian quickly took the driver’s seat and began driving aggressively.

If she could, she’d have Xia Liu immediately carry out his task.

That way, he could return a day sooner.

During the journey back to Osmanthus Village, even Peng Zheng, with his Half-Step Path-Entering cultivation, found himself scared several times.

Li Qianqian’s driving was simply too intense.

Thankfully, they arrived safely in the end…
