Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

And for this reason, he was even more determined to proceed to Ten Thousand Medicine Valley.

The great war was imminent, yet Granny Yuan had not fully recovered. If he lingered in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, it wouldn’t be easy to stand by idly during the capture of the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Fire Spirit.

Since this threatened the safety of the entire Fire Persimmon Immortal City, and as a part with Golden Core Cultivation within the city, Ning Jiufan must shoulder the responsibility of a Righteous Path strong figure. After all, the Ning Family lived there.

Ning Jiufan worried that if he took action this time, he might well fall into Meng Kui’s calculations and lose Granny Yuan.

His ability to command a Nascent Soul Level Magma Demon Ape was supported by the Zhu Family. The Ning Family now served as the main force to restrain the Meng Family.

If Meng Kui harbored any intentions to harm Granny Yuan in the upcoming battle, then the Ning Family would suffer a great loss!

Therefore, he needed to bring Granny Yuan’s condition to the best state possible.

“Ten Thousand Medicine Sect really is an excellent place for healing; I didn’t expect Little Zhuo to be so quick.”

“He seems to be doing quite well there, too.”

“That little brat…”

“`

Ning Jiufan secretly took Granny Yuan and quietly left Fire Persimmon Mountain, heading straight for the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect.

He was quite familiar with the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect.

In the past, the main forces of the Ning Family had used an underground river to leave the Myriad Demons Cave and directly entered the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley.

The Ning Family had recuperated in the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley for a time.

Such a thing would be almost impossible in other sects, but the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect had made it happen.

From this point of view, the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect had once given the Ning Family a lot of important, critical support.

Therefore, regarding the idea of cooperation between the Ning Family and the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect mentioned in Ning Zhuo’s letter, Ning Jiufan also tended to agree.

Ning Jiufan’s favorable impression of the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect was still quite substantial.

As he and the Demon Ape stealthily departed, a cultivator with faltering steps and stumble-prone feet entered Fire Persimmon Immortal City.

His name was Liu Zhen, and he was Lin Shanshan’s sixth senior brother.

This time, he was sent by the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect, Lin Bufan, to gather intelligence on Ning Zhuo.

The sun was well up in the sky when Liu Zhen, tottering and in poor shape, arrived. His vision blurry, head spinning, legs weak, he had no choice but to lean against the wall for support.

Unable to see the path clearly, his hand found nothing to brace against, and he collapsed, fainting on the spot.

“Alas, someone has collapsed right at our gate,” exclaimed the servant guarding the door, upon seeing this.

“Couldn’t be a beggar trying to extort from us, could it?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? This place belongs to the City Lord’s Mansion!”

“Quick, lend a hand—this cultivator is barely breathing. Get Master Sun to have a look!”

Soon after.

Liu Zhen, who had passed out, slowly regained consciousness.

His vision shifted from blurry to clear, and he found himself lying on a sickbed, with a cultivator beside him channeling the fragrance of elixir pills, letting the scent penetrate his nostrils.

“This doctor, I owe you my life…” Liu Zhen tried to speak but was interrupted.

“I know, your surname is Liu, your given name Zhen, from the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect,” said the treating cultivator. “You fainted at my courtyard gate, and servants carried you inside. I found a token on you, along with other belongings.”

“So, I learned of your identity.”

“Please don’t take offense. I am a Pill Master, after all, and healing is part of the job. I need to gather as much information as possible to make a diagnosis and treat effectively.”

Liu Zhen chuckled: “Master, don’t be troubled; being from the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect, I naturally understand these…principles.”

His face was deathly pale, without a hint of Blood Qi, his whole body nearly reduced to a skeletal frame, his life force extremely faint.

The Pill Master treating him introduced himself: “My name is Sun Lie, currently residing at Ziyang Courtyard. Your fainting at my door must be fated.”
