Urban Dominating Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1216 1208: Congratulations (Part 2)

The sound of the piano was melodious, softly echoing in the lakeside pavilion.

"This Marquis truly did not expect that the dark-cloaked person who competed for the Lord's position that day was him, and that the Venerable-Breaking Pill was also consigned for auction by him."

The Celestial Cyan Marquis' eyes slightly narrowed, his tone carrying a hint of surprise as he spoke solemnly.

"Marquis, this young man is not simple; that recruitment notice already explained everything. Anyone at the peak of the Immortal Spirit Realm or the Half-Step Immortal Venerable Realm who joins the Lord's Mansion will be granted a Venerable-Breaking Pill."

The elderly Sun Cheng elder, clad in a white robe, also showed a trace of gravity on his face as he looked at the Celestial Cyan Marquis and said.

"Elder Sun Cheng, do you think that Venerable-Breaking Pill was personally refined by him?"

The Celestial Cyan Marquis' eyes flickered with light for a moment before he abruptly asked.

"This..."

Hearing this, Elder Sun Cheng was momentarily stunned.

"Marquis, the Pill Thunder phenomenon that appeared at the Bai Mansion that day should have been triggered by the refining of the Venerable-Breaking Pill. However, at that time, that young man was only at the peak of the Immortal Spirit Realm. Refining a fourth-grade intermediate elixir like the Venerable-Breaking Pill would truly be astonishing."

Elder Sun Cheng spoke gravely.

After a long silence, Elder Sun Cheng's tone shifted, looking at the Celestial Cyan Marquis, as he solemnly said, "However, although this situation is somewhat extraordinary, it is not impossible."

"Our Great Xia Dynasty is, after all, just a corner of the Nine Provinces Sacred Domain. This domain is vast and boundless, and it is not too surprising for extraordinary talents to emerge beyond our imagination."

Elder Sun Cheng spoke solemnly.

"Hmm."

Hearing this, the Celestial Cyan Marquis' majestic eyes flickered, revealing a hint of contemplation.

Ding-dong~!

In the pavilion, the melodious sound of the piano paused.

The blue-clad girl playing the piano noticed that the two were engrossed in conversation and not attending to her music. Her rosy lips couldn't help but pout.

"Father Marquis, Elder Sun, is that young man called 'Qin Yang' really that incredible? You two are so caught up in your conversation, you didn't even listen to my new piece."

The blue-clad girl stood up and sat next to the Celestial Cyan Marquis, a hint of displeasure on her delicate face as she took a bite of a Spirit Fruit in a huff.

Hearing this, the Celestial Cyan Marquis and Elder Sun Cheng exchanged a glance, silently sighing at their oversight for upsetting the young Commandery Princess.

"Ahem, the Commandery Princess' piano skills are extraordinary. This piece is exceptionally crafted and resounds like immortal music..."

Elder Sun Cheng coughed lightly, offering his praise.

However, before he could finish, Xia Yu'Er rolled her eyes at him.

"Elder Sun, can't you even blush when telling a lie?"

"Uh..."

Hearing the Commandery Princess' direct words, Elder Sun Cheng couldn't suppress a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Yu'Er, don't be rude."

The Celestial Cyan Marquis said sternly.

"Yes, Father Marquis."

Xia Yu'Er responded, then secretly turned away, sticking her tongue out playfully at Elder Sun Cheng.

"But, Father Marquis, is that young man Qin Yang really that impressive? I heard he only beat Yuan Ming and made a name for himself."

Xia Yu'Er sat beside the Celestial Cyan Marquis, blinking her eyes as she spoke.

"Not only did he defeat Yuan Ming, but having just broken through to the Immortal Venerable Realm, he also slew the Water and Fire Dual Venerable. He even drove off the Blood Evil Sect's Blood Moon Elder. One could say the Yuan Family was wiped out by his hand."

The Celestial Cyan Marquis nodded and said.

"So, he's even more impressive than me, Xia Yu'Er."

In Xia Yu'Er's beautiful eyes, a competitive fire glowed.

She had been cultivating near Moon Jade Lake by the Royal Capital these days and was not very informed about recent events in Celestial Cyan City.

"Yu'Er, the Venerable-Breaking Pill you consumed to break through to the Immortal Venerable Realm was auctioned by your father, and your father and Elder Sun suspect that it was refined by him."

The Celestial Cyan Marquis' eyes slightly narrowed as he spoke solemnly.

"What?"

Hearing this, Xia Yu'Er paused mid-chew of her Spirit Fruit, her delicate face filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible, Father Marquis? The alchemists capable of refining the Venerable-Breaking Pill in the entire Great Xia Dynasty wouldn't even be a handful, and he's around my age, his cultivation already broke through to the Immortal Venerable Realm, and his talent in alchemy is this impressive—is he even human..."

Xia Yu'Er took a fierce bite of the Spirit Fruit, defiantly said.

"In this Nine Provinces Sacred Domain, among the thousands of cultivators, encountering some with extraordinary talent is not all that surprising. Just like the Commandery Princess, your cultivation is not weak and you also have an exceptional talent in music."

Beside her, Elder Sun Cheng said with a smile, subtly making up for not listening to her music earlier.

"True, now I'm really eager to meet him."

Xia Yu'Er nodded her fair chin in satisfaction, swallowing the Spirit Fruit in her mouth as she spoke.

Hearing this, Elder Sun Cheng and the Celestial Cyan Marquis exchanged a knowing glance, smiles playing in their eyes.

"Well then, this young man has just succeeded to the position of Lord of Wind Ridge Town. I am planning to send Elder Sun Cheng to offer congratulations. Yu'Er, if you'd like to go, you can accompany Elder Sun Cheng."

The Celestial Cyan Marquis said.

"Sure, I'd like to meet this guy."

Xia Yu'Er's eyes sparkled as she nodded.

"Yu'Er, you're not so young anymore. That youth named 'Qin Yang'—if you like him, I can arrange..."

The Celestial Cyan Marquis' gaze was full of warmth and affection as he looked at the girl beside him, smiling as he spoke.

"Father Marquis, what are you saying? Yu'Er's standards are high, and I don't want to get married so early. I still need to focus on cultivation and play the piano; there's so much to do."

Hearing this, Xia Yu'Er blushed slightly, casting her father a playful glare.

In Celestial Cyan City,

the Marquis's Mansion and the Bai Family, being the city's foremost family, set off a noticeable spectacle heading to Wind Ridge Town for congratulations.

Rows of carriages adorned with bright red satin were neatly lined up in front of both families' mansions.

This grandeur did not go unnoticed by other families, who moved with the opportunity.

Meanwhile, in Wind Ridge Town, Qin Yang had not expected that having just succeeded the Lordship of Wind Ridge Town, instead of facing the formidable Blood Evil Sect, he was met with numerous congratulations.

Within Wind Ridge Town, while the discussions about the recruitment at the Lord's Mansion were lively.

Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop...

A procession of fifty Fiery Fire Horses drawing carriages laden with generous gifts, traversed through Wind Ridge Town, finally stopping at the entrance to the Lord's Mansion, attracting countless cultivators to watch.

"It's the Bai Family, the first family of Celestial Cyan City."

"They must be here to congratulate the new Lord on succeeding the Lordship."

"What a grand spectacle."

"I heard the Bai Family has a very close relationship with the Lord. The destruction of the Yuan Family was jointly orchestrated by the Bai Family and the Lord."

"Look, many high-ranking members of the Bai Family are here. That middle-aged man must be the Patriarch of the Bai Family."

"..."

Faced with the procession of carriages bearing generous gifts, the cultivators at the entrance to the Lord's Mansion erupted in discussions.
