Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2890 - 2889: Arrogant? Kindhearted?

Tian Sha was astounded; he couldn't fathom his master's absence, believing him to be an unstoppable force who would never shy away from a challenge.

The notion that Tian Sha's master would refuse to appear out of fear was unthinkable to him.

Yet, he found no reason to refute this unsettling possibility.

For in that precise moment, he sensed that the connection to his true self had been severed, vanishing into the distance.

With this severing, the link between them was completely cut.

If not for fear, what other explanation could exist?

Would his master still make an appearance?

Meanwhile, Lin Dong had observed Tian Sha's peculiar reaction and inquired, "What troubles you, Tian Sha? Don't tell me, as I suggested, that your true body is too afraid to show up, do you?"

Tian Sha's expression turned exceedingly grim as he responded in a low voice, "Do not press me. My true body has severed all contact with me."

"Severed contact? Isn't that simply because he fears coming?" Lin Dong taunted.

"Severing contact does not necessarily mean my true body fears coming. Perhaps, he simply wishes to deny you any bargaining chips in this affair," Tian Sha offered, attempting to rationalize the situation.

However, even he struggled to fully accept his own explanation.

It felt like a self-deception!

"Very well, I shall grant him two days. If he fails to appear by then, I will consider him cowardly. At that point, I will personally eliminate you," Lin Dong declared.

This reprieve would also serve Lin Dong well, allowing him two days to solidify his cultivation at the Third Layer of the Heavenly Realm.

Having just ascended to this level, he required time to stabilize his newfound strength.

Concurrently, he was also preparing to refine a batch of elixirs.

These elixirs were not intended for his own consumption but were designated for Tian Sha.

His intention was to employ the Devouring Technique, necessitating the prior 'fattening' of Tian Sha, effectively turning him into a 'living medicine cauldron.'

Naturally, Lin Dong had not yet disclosed this plan to Tian Sha.

Consequently, when Tian Sha witnessed Lin Dong sparing his life temporarily and agreeing to await his master's arrival for two more days, his face lit up with relief.

"Oh, Lin Dong, the arrogance you display will surely be your undoing," he mused, believing Lin Dong had become overconfident.

His breakthrough to the Third Layer of the Heavenly Realm had apparently led Lin Dong to become complacent.

Lin Dong, oblivious to Tian Sha's inner thoughts and harboring no desire to know them, proceeded with his plans.

After dedicating a few hours to consolidating his cultivation, he turned to the White-clothed Blood Monk beside him. "Esteemed Senior, I would be grateful if you would keep watch over Tian Sha and our surroundings."

"I intend to refine some elixirs now."

The White-clothed Blood Monk inclined his head in affirmation. "Lin Dong, Benefactor, rest assured. The responsibility is mine."

Following this, Lin Dong commenced the intricate process of elixir refinement.

The elixir he was preparing for Tian Sha was named the 'Replenishing Essence Pill,' a potent remedy for restoring Blood Essence.

He was aware that a significant portion of his Lifebound Essence Blood had been expended during their recent confrontation, and direct absorption would drastically reduce its efficacy.

While it might offer some benefit, it wouldn't substantially aid Lin Dong's own advancement.

Therefore, he resolved to craft this 'Replenishing Essence Pill' to bolster Tian Sha's condition.

The 'Replenishing Essence Pill' was classified as a second-grade elixir, an undertaking that would prove exceedingly difficult for most cultivators.

However, for Lin Dong, the process presented no significant challenge whatsoever.

His alchemical prowess extended to the refinement of fifth-grade Dan medicines.

Holding the esteemed title of Alchemist, he surpassed Qin Feng in skill, truly an Alchemy King in his own right.

Refining this second-grade elixir, even as a preliminary attempt, was a trivial matter, accomplished with effortless grace.

After several hours of dedicated work, Lin Dong successfully completed the alchemical process, producing two furnaces filled with hundreds of 'Replenishing Essence Pills.'

Subsequently, he gathered these refined elixirs and approached Tian Sha.

Tian Sha felt a sense of bewilderment. He had initially observed Lin Dong's extensive refining activities, assuming the elixirs were for Lin Dong's personal use.

Now, however, it appeared they were being prepared for him. What intricate scheme was Lin Dong orchestrating?

Even the White-clothed Blood Monk, standing guard, was perplexed and voiced his query, "Lin Dong, Benefactor, were these elixirs not intended for your own consumption?"

Lin Dong gently shook his head. "No, these elixirs have been specifically prepared for Tian Sha!"

"Oh?" The White-clothed Blood Monk grew even more bewildered. Given Tian Sha's intent to kill him, why would Lin Dong expend such effort to refine elixirs for his adversary?

Could it be that these elixirs were, in fact, a potent poison, intended to inflict prolonged suffering before death?

This was the only conceivable explanation the White-clothed Blood Monk could fathom for Lin Dong's elaborate actions.

It wasn't solely the White-clothed Blood Monk who harbored such suspicions; Tian Sha himself shared this unsettling thought.

Trembling with apprehension, he implored, "Lin Dong, if your intention is to end my life, must you resort to such cruel methods of torture with elixirs?"

Lin Dong responded with a light chuckle, "These are not instruments of torture. These elixirs are, in fact, beneficial to you."

"They are designed to mend your injuries."

Having spoken these words, Lin Dong had already reached Tian Sha's side, preparing to administer the elixirs.

Tian Sha was entirely unconvinced, mistakenly believing these were elixirs for torture. "Lin Dong, you truly are ruthless? Forging poison pills solely to torment me? You surpass even our Blood Clan in cruelty!"

Lin Dong offered a subtle smile, deeming further explanation or argument a waste of time.

Instead, he directly pried Tian Sha’s mouth open and forcefully administered the elixirs.

Despite Tian Sha’s attempts to resist, he found himself utterly powerless at this moment.

Currently, he was akin to a defenseless lamb awaiting slaughter, stripped of any ability to fight back.

From the two furnaces, Lin Dong proceeded to feed him pill after pill—hundreds in total, all directed towards Tian Sha.

After this, he ceased paying attention to Tian Sha.

He then turned his efforts towards his own tasks.

His intention was to continue refining more elixirs, but this time, not for Tian Sha, but for his own use.

The specific elixirs he planned to craft were ’Deadwood Dan’ and ’Soul Supplement Pills.’

Both of these formulations proved immensely beneficial to him in his current state.

The function of ’Deadwood Dan’ was to aid in the restoration of his Inner Qi. Sufficient consumption would allow his Inner Qi to recover from near depletion back to its absolute peak.

However, with his continuously growing strength, replenishing Inner Qi to its zenith demanded an increasing quantity of Deadwood Dan. Presently, recuperating from a severely depleted state to full power required around ten Deadwood Dan.

As for the Soul Supplement Pill, its purpose was to restore Mental Power. Lin Dong’s Mental Power had now ascended to the level of Spiritual Power, the 40th Rank.

Furthermore, he commanded a Spiritual Power Domain and possessed the capability to influence Heavenly Realm Martial Artists. Sustained utilization of these profound abilities exacted a tremendous toll.

Should he have Soul Supplement Pills readily available, recovery would also be swift.

Consequently, these two types of elixirs were absolutely indispensable for him at this juncture.

Naturally, the more he possessed, the better his situation would be.

Fortunately, he had an abundance of the primary ingredients required for their refinement, such as the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree, of which he held hundreds upon thousands.

He also had a considerable stock of ’soul stones.’

While Lin Dong was engrossed in refining these two particular elixirs, Tian Sha directed furious and aggrieved glares at him.

He firmly believed the elixirs Lin Dong had forced upon him were instruments of torture, designed to inflict unimaginable agony.

Yet, as a significant amount of time elapsed, he experienced no trace of pain whatsoever.

Instead, he distinctly felt his Blood Essence beginning to mend and recover.

"What exactly is going on here? Is Lin Dong actually this benevolent? Did he truly craft elixirs with the intent to heal me?"

"Or is his arrogance so profound that he holds no fear of my regaining my full strength?"

Contemplating these possibilities, Tian Sha’s expression morphed into one of mingled resentment and fury. He then silently vowed in his heart:

"Very well, Lin Dong, you shall undoubtedly come to regret this. Once I reclaim my true state and my actual self arrives, I shall then assist my true body in your utter annihilation."

"At that future moment, I will plant my foot upon your face, witnessing your agonizing expression of regret..."
