Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2026: Torn Between Hope and Fear

After Zhongli Tian, Hua Yanqing, and Gu Feng expressed their stances, the other hundreds of guests had no objections and all nodded in agreement to the two conditions proposed by Fang Bai.

To them, the first condition proposed by Fang Bai was barely acceptable, and the second one was only beneficial with no harm. Refusing would be foolish.

Then, they once again looked at the few Immortal Rank cultivation techniques on the wooden tray held by Fairy Xuanbing, each person’s gaze filled with anticipation.

Fang Bai took in their expressions and said with a smile, "Rest assured, I, Fang Bai, am a man of my word. Since you have agreed to my two conditions, I will also allow you to peruse these Immortal Rank cultivation techniques. But..."

Upon hearing the word "but," the guests suddenly tensed up.

Fang Bai continued, "But you cannot take these cultivation techniques away. If you wish to comprehend and cultivate them, you must stay in my Emperor’s Palace."

The guests, hearing this, thought they understood and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Bai’s words were within their expectations.

After all, the Immortal Rank cultivation techniques in Fairy Xuanbing’s hand were only a few, while they numbered in the hundreds, so taking the techniques away for individual cultivation was simply impossible, and the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace would not be so generous.

"The Palace Master allows you to cultivate in the Emperor’s Palace for your own good!"

At this moment, Fairy Xuanbing, who was holding the tray, spoke coldly, "Do you think cultivating an Immortal Rank technique is that easy? It’s not that I’m underestimating everyone here, but with your talents and aptitudes, if you were to comprehend and cultivate these Immortal Rank techniques on your own, you might not understand even one-tenth of them in a hundred years..."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the guests, and she continued, "And by cultivating in our Emperor’s Palace, if there is any confusion or questions, you can always consult the Palace Master. Our Palace Master is knowledgeable and his guidance presents you with a golden opportunity!"

Though Fairy Xuanbing’s words were harsh, not a single guest dared to refute.

Fairy Xuanbing, now a Half-Immortal Rank powerhouse, stood there holding the tray, exuding immense pressure, making those guests feel a great burden.

Even Zhongli Tian, the experienced Half-Immortal Rank Sect Master of the Green Bamboo Sect, felt that Fairy Xuanbing’s cultivation level might surpass his own slightly.

Furthermore, they had all heard before that Fairy Xuanbing managed to advance from the ninth level of Heavenly Tribulation to the Half-Immortal Rank Realm rapidly after joining the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace because she cultivated an Immortal Rank technique and received guidance from Fang Bai.

Hearing Fairy Xuanbing’s words now, they realized the rumors they had previously heard were likely true.

Before them stood Fang Bai, who founded the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace; his exceptional talent and peerless aptitude, despite only having the eighth realm of Heavenly Tribulation, could easily crush them, even those at the ninth level of Heavenly Tribulation or the Half-Immortal Rank.

Fang Bai’s ability to guide Fairy Xuanbing in cultivating the Immortal Rank technique showed he understood those techniques more profoundly; his insight and comprehension were abundant enough for guiding them, the cultivators, with ease and confidence.

Then, under Fang Bai’s guidance, perhaps the path for these cultivators to ascend to the Immortal Realm might truly be opened.

"Palace Master Fang, I will return to the Green Bamboo Sect immediately to hand over the Sect Master’s position to another disciple. Then I will bring along a package of cultivation resources and settle down in the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace for cultivation!"

Zhongli Tian, the Sect Master of the Green Bamboo Sect, stood up and said a few words to Fang Bai before leaving hurriedly with a few disciples.

Zhongli Tian, being advanced in age and having limited longevity, had an even greater urgency for comprehending the Heavenly Dao and ascending to immortality. Since cultivation at the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace held hope for achieving this lifelong dream, he didn’t want to wait any longer.

Many other guests shared the same ideas as Zhongli Tian, and seeing him leave, they were afraid of falling behind themselves, so they too bade farewell to Fang Bai, intending to return to their sects to make proper arrangements before coming to the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace.

Fang Bai had Flood Dragon Venerable and Xuan Feng Venerable see the guests off from the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, then asked Fairy Xuanbing to return the few Immortal Rank cultivation techniques to the treasury.

Those Immortal Rank cultivation techniques were basic ones, and Fang Bai left them in the Emperor’s Palace for the disciples to cultivate. This way, even after he ascends to the Immortal Realm, the remaining Emperor’s Palace disciples can rely on these techniques to achieve ascension.

By evening, although the guests had left, the entire Emperor’s Palace was still immersed in a festive atmosphere.

To celebrate his union with several ladies as martial partners today, Fang Bai specially ordered that the hundred thousand disciples of the Emperor’s Palace enjoy a grand celebration.

Thus, the hundred thousand disciples of the Emperor’s Palace plunged into revelry.

They drank Spiritual Wine heartily, devoured Spirit Beast Meat in large mouthfuls, and at times, exchanged insights on the Dao of Cultivation, making noise until the middle of the night before dispersing.

Once everyone had left, some waiting menial servant disciples quickly appeared to clean up the mess.

Thus, the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace quickly restored its original state.

After night fell, Fang Bai left the Palace Master Hall and went straight to find Su Linglong.

Among the ladies, Qin Yaorao was the first woman Fang Bai saw after seizing and being reborn.

Besides that, Su Linglong was the one who had known him the longest.

Thinking of that beautiful class leader back in the mundane world, who has now become his martial partner, Fang Bai couldn’t help but feel emotional, while also guessing what Class Leader Su might be thinking at this moment.

The courtyard where Su Linglong resides, comparable in scale to the others, is situated in an elegant and tranquil valley filled with flowers and plants, located a hundred miles east of the Palace Master Hall.

Su Linglong liked this valley and courtyard very much, so she named it "Linglong Residence" after herself.

After the ceremony of formally becoming martial partners with Fang Bai during the day, Su Linglong returned to Linglong Residence in advance in the company of four female disciples from the Emperor’s Palace, waiting there.

In her heart, of course, she hoped that Fang Bai would come to her place tonight.

However, since it wasn’t just her who became martial partners with Fang Bai today, she wasn’t sure where Fang Bai would end up staying.

In fact, before today’s ceremony was held, Su Linglong, Qin Yaorao, and the others discussed that whoever Fang Bai didn’t visit by midnight could rest on their own.

According to Qin Yaorao, since they were already martial partners with Fang Bai, it didn’t matter if they spent a day sooner or later together; they would achieve their union sooner or later.

For Su Linglong, however, if Fang Bai were to come to her place tonight, it would surely make her happy.

Although it was already dark, it was still early before midnight, yet Su Linglong’s heart fluttered, unable to find peace.
