143: Chapter 143 The Young Medical Saint, Xu Tian Breaks Through His Defenses!

What made him feel the worst was not the ridicule of others.

Rather, he himself was beginning to doubt whether what he had learned over the years was actually useful.

Compared to Lin Yi's methods, his Taisu Origin suppression technique could only be described in two words.

Embarrassing!

Just then, the Holy Mother of Yaochi stepped down from the high platform.

Her sickly appearance was completely gone.

Her blood and Qi were abundant.

With every movement, a dao rhyme at the level of a Quasi-Emperor naturally flowed around her.

Even the spiritual mist in the center of the lake was drawn by her aura, slowly parting to both sides.

Ji Yaoguang followed behind her, her eyes still filled with uncontrollable joy.

Her heart had been hanging in suspense for the past few days.

Only now did it truly settle down.

The Holy Mother of Yaochi walked up to Lin Yi.

She did not act arrogant, nor did she put on the airs of a Holy Land Senior.

Instead, she gave Lin Yi a solemn salute.

“Lin Yi, your actions today are equivalent to saving my life, and saving the life of Yaochi!”

“Yaochi will certainly repay this favor.”

“From now on, you will be the most honored guest of our Yaochi Holy Land.”

“Whoever dares to be your enemy is making things difficult for Yaochi!”

As soon as these words were spoken,

The expressions of many prodigies in the area changed.

The Yaochi Holy Land was already transcendent.

Now that she had put it in such terms, the weight of her words was incredibly heavy.

Xu Tian felt a blockage in his chest, and his vision went black for a moment.

He had originally wanted to rely on this PanTao Feast to make a name for himself.

As it turned out, he did become famous.

It was just that he became famous as a negative example.

The Holy Mother of Yaochi paid no attention to Xu Tian.

She raised her hand, and a water ripple suddenly split open in the center of the holy lake.

A wisp of crystalline divine light flew up from the bottom of the lake, hovering above everyone's heads.

It was a fist-sized spring core.

Its entire body was pure and clear.

The light of the water circulated within it.

It contained an extremely thick vital essence; just one look at it made one's chest feel refreshed.

Many of the older generation by the lake showed shocked expressions.

“Heavens! It's actually the Yaochi Divine Spring Core!”

“The Holy Mother actually brought out such a precious treasure.”

“Even in an Imperial Rank power, this would definitely be considered one of their core foundations.”

The Holy Mother of Yaochi looked at Lin Yi, her voice sincere.

“This item is a gift for Saint Lin.”

“I hope you do not find it too meager.”

Lin Yi glanced at the spring core.

It was indeed a good thing.

But he was in no hurry to put it in his sleeve.

He raised his hand, and the spring core changed direction, landing directly in front of Su Yuxi.

“This spring core is more suitable for your Dao Embryo.”

“Take it.”

Su Yuxi was stunned.

She clearly hadn't expected that Lin Yi would give away Yaochi's valuable gift to her right in front of so many people.

Chu Wanqing reacted first, her eyes curving into crescents.

“Brother Lin Yi, you're playing favorites!”

Xu Chen added from the side,

“Sister Wanqing, with my brother's conditions,”

“his main style is giving to whoever he wants.”

“How can you call that playing favorites?”

Lin Yi smiled.

“Got an objection?”

Chu Wanqing snorted, but instead of being angry, she took half a step forward.

“I do.”

“I want one next time too!”

Shen Qingyue stood to the side, her gaze softening slightly.

She didn't speak.

But her gaze as she looked at Lin Yi was even calmer than the water in the holy lake.

Su Yuxi's fingertips touched the spring core.

The next moment, the dao patterns flared brightly.

Fine Innate patterns spread from her wrist up her arm, finally disappearing deep into her sleeve.

The Innate Dao Fetus inside her body was clearly stimulated.

As soon as that pure spring intent entered her body, it rapidly merged with her own Origin.

Many people looked on with burning eyes.

But despite their envy,

no one dared to say a word.

Everyone could see that Lin Yi gave it away casually.

And it was precisely this casualness that stung the most.

Standing on the edge of the crowd, Xu Tian felt as if it were difficult to even breathe.

He had worked so hard to put on a show here for so long, and he hadn't gained a single thing.

But Lin Yi, on the other hand,

had treated the illness, received a heavy gift, and then turned around to give it to a beauty.

The entire sequence of actions was done in one go, incredibly suave.

He also conveniently stole all the limelight, leaving not even a crumb for him.

He had truly treated him as nothing more than a source of amusement.

Just then, the long-awaited System notification sounded in Lin Yi's mind again.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for gifting the Destined Female Lead Su Yuxi an Imperial Rank peak grade item—Yaochi Divine Spring!]

[Triggered ten-thousand-fold return!]

[Received reward: Hongmeng Immortal Bone rank upgrade, Low Grade Immortal Rank to Medium Grade Immortal Rank!]

A ten-thousand-fold critical hit!

Another ten-thousand-fold critical hit!

This Yaochi Divine Spring was indeed Heaven-Defying.

What surprised Lin Yi the most was

that this Hongmeng Immortal Bone could actually still be upgraded!

If it kept upgrading like this, it wouldn't be long before his Hongmeng Immortal Bone broke through to peak grade Immortal Rank.

By then, let alone Cultivators of the same generation, even those old monsters living in seclusion would likely have to avoid his edge!

As the System notification faded, a vast immortal power instantly erupted from deep within Lin Yi's bones.

He felt warm all over, and his aura surged along with it!

“Hahaha!”

“The System is reliable; this girl Yu Xi is truly worthy of being my first wife!”

Lin Yi couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.

He clearly felt that after the upgrade, the speed at which his Hongmeng Immortal Bone absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had increased several times over.

Furthermore, the purity of the refined Spiritual Qi had also significantly improved.

He no longer had to worry about mixed Spiritual Qi affecting his cultivation progress.

More importantly, the Medium Grade Immortal Rank Hongmeng Immortal Bone came with its own Protective Immortal Light.

Ordinary weapons could no longer harm him in the slightest.

Even a full-strength strike from a Peak Saint King might not be able to break through his defense!

Just then, the Holy Mother of Yaochi spoke again.

She looked around, her voice reaching everyone in the area.

“The Medical Dao abilities of Saint Lin have been witnessed by everyone here today.”

“Tracing the root of the illness, identifying the ominous Qi, removing the focus of the disease in an instant, and then replenishing the Origin invisibly.”

“Such methods are rare in both ancient and modern times.”

“On behalf of Yaochi, I wish to grant Saint Lin a title.”

At this point, she paused.

The area around the holy lake had become completely silent.

Everyone was waiting for her next words.

The Holy Mother of Yaochi spoke each word clearly.

“The Young Medical Saint!”

As those four words fell,

The surface of the lake shook violently.

It was as if even the formation patterns of Yaochi were giving a response.

The hearts of many prodigies skipped a beat simultaneously.

The title of Young Medical Saint was not something to be said lightly.

It represented absolute recognition in the Medical Dao.

And it was given by the Holy Mother of Yaochi herself.

The weight of it was terrifyingly heavy!

The next moment, voices from all directions erupted at once.

“The Young Medical Saint!”

“Saint Lin's acquisition of the title Young Medical Saint is well-deserved!”

“Today's event has completely shattered Xu Tian's arrogant airs.”

“It truly fits that saying: Sir, the times have really changed!”

As soon as these words were spoken,

Xu Chen immediately perked up.

Holding the ancient desolate hall, he stomped over to Xu Tian and patted him on the shoulder.

“Did you hear that?”

“It's not that I want to criticize you,”

“but those old-fashioned ways of yours really should be put away.”

“Kid, the times have changed! Recognize reality!”

“The one standing before you now is my big brother, the Young Medical Saint!”

After saying this,

Xu Chen himself felt great.

The surroundings broke into a fit of laughter.

Xu Tian's shoulders trembled, as if he had been slapped into a crack in the ground.

He had stayed in the Heaven and Earth Gate since he was a child, pampered as he grew up.

The Taisu Sacred Body was rare throughout the ages.

And he was the only one in his sect compatible with the Archaic Medical Arts.

The elders of his sect said he was born to stand above everyone else.

His Revered Master had even said one thing:

In this lifetime, there should be a place for him at the Peak of the Medical Dao.

But today,

he had been crushed by Lin Yi.

And he was crushed in the field he was most proud of!

It wasn't that he couldn't win the fight.

It wasn't that he lost by a narrow margin.

He was suppressed right from the roots!

That bit of superiority he had as the successor of the Heaven and Earth Gate, that bit of conceit, that high-and-mighty attitude...

It had all become a damn joke!

He had to find a way to win it back, or else everything would be over!
