Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1938 - 1935: Public Display of Affection

"Jiayin, the Golden Healing Ointment is a third-grade treasure medicine. Even in the Treasure Hall, there aren’t many; usually, it’s used for those who’ve made significant contributions to the sect."

"Did you just use it on that kid?"

"That’s against the rules!" Wu Tianxiong was filled with jealousy, his voice trembling slightly.

Actually, what he cared about wasn’t the ointment itself, but Li Jiayin’s special attention to Xu Wendong.

"What’s against the rules?"

"Since the Golden Healing Ointment is in the Treasure Hall, it can be exchanged. I used my own points to exchange for it, so why not?" Li Jiayin didn’t lift her head, her voice tinged with impatience.

At this moment, her mind was entirely focused on Xu Wendong’s injuries, completely disregarding whatever Wu Tianxiong was saying.

Xu Wendong felt Li Jiayin’s tender, boneless hand gently rubbing on his palm, a warm sensation emanating from his palm and quickly spreading throughout his body.

The Golden Healing Ointment truly was miraculous, after application, he clearly felt a change in his palm.

It was as if a lifeforce was slowly reviving, the originally dried-up palm gradually recovering some flesh and blood.

The tingling sensation made Xu Wendong thoroughly enjoy it, he slightly squinted his eyes, showing a hint of a content expression on his face.

Seeing Xu Wendong’s expression, Wu Tianxiong was even more enraged.

That kid actually seemed to be enjoying it, wasn’t he clearly provoking him?

Ah, ah, ah, he wanted to slice him into pieces!

"Junior Brother, you’ve been through hard times." After applying the medicine, Li Jiayin lifted her head, looking at Xu Wendong with a face filled with pity.

She reached out, gently stroked Xu Wendong’s face, the tenderness in her gaze seemed like it could melt a person.

This scene left the surrounding disciples dumbfounded, filled with envy and jealousy in their hearts.

"Damn it! Curse you, Lin Mo!"

"Ah, ah, ah! If I could swap places with him, I’d be willing to live ten fewer years!"

"If only I could receive Senior Sister’s care too..."

Everyone’s hearts were full of bitterness, who would’ve thought that the Iceberg Beauty of the Heavenly Nether Sect was conquered by a newcomer like Xu Wendong?

And to publicly show such intimacy, that’s simply flaunting their relationship!

Wu Tianxiong was also furious, he clenched his fists tightly, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, blood slowly dripping down his fingers.

"Lin Mo, I’ve memorized your name!" he said through gritted teeth, eyes filled with a cold murderous intent.

At this moment, he felt a murderous intent towards Xu Wendong, wishing he could slice him into pieces.

"Kid, this time you’re lucky that Jiayin is protecting you."

"But next time, you won’t be so fortunate."

"Soon it will be the selection tournament for the Nether Ruins, by then all disciples have to participate. Pray you don’t come across me, otherwise..." Wu Tianxiong glared viciously at Xu Wendong, eyes seemingly burning with two flames.

Xu Wendong was unafraid, his gaze showed arrogance, he sneered: "So what if we come across each other?"

"Would you kneel and surrender?"

"Brother Wu, don’t be so spineless. Even if you surrender, I’ll still beat you until you’re looking for your teeth on the ground." He raised his eyebrows, seemingly provoking the opponent.

Wu Tianxiong was so enraged by Xu Wendong’s extremely arrogant words that his whole body trembled, his eyes wide as if they were about to emit flames.

His chest heaved violently, breathing heavily, the anger within him burned fiercely, almost consuming him whole.

He never expected that Xu Wendong would dare to provoke him so brazenly in public.

The numerous disciples saw this, collectively gasping, the sound rising and falling like a cold wind blowing through.

Their eyes were full of surprise and excitement, whispering amongst themselves.

It was as if they could already foresee the intense clash at the upcoming selection tournament, a strong sense of anticipation rising in their hearts.

There was no need to think, this tournament would definitely be a spectacle!

"Hmph, just you wait and see." Wu Tianxiong snorted coldly, he noticed Li Jiayin staring at him with a disapproving look, and though he was angry, he didn’t dare to be too presumptuous in front of Li Jiayin.

He gave Xu Wendong a fierce glare, then abruptly turned around, flicking his sleeves, leaving in large strides, the sound of his footsteps heavy and urgent, as if venting his inner anger.

Gu Lingtong squinted, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam, he gave Xu Wendong a meaningful look, as if he could see through Xu Wendong’s thoughts.

Afterward, he followed behind Wu Tianxiong unhurriedly, hands behind his back, walking away with measured steps.

His silhouette gradually receded, leaving only a blurry outline.

Seeing everyone had left, Li Jiayin sighed helplessly, that sigh seemed to carry all her exhaustion and helplessness.

She shook her head slightly, her gaze revealing a hint of worry.

"Senior Sister, what is the selection tournament?" Xu Wendong asked curiously, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

He had just heard the keyword "Nether Ruins" and couldn’t help but recall when Li Jiayin had mentioned that all Eight Great Elders hoped to take him as a disciple, wanting him to venture into the Nether Ruins to seize opportunities, yet he hadn’t expected a selection tournament was necessary to go to the Nether Ruins.

"It has to do with the Nether Ruins. Simply put, it’s to select the strongest sect disciples to compete with disciples from the other two great sects." Li Jiayin explained to Xu Wendong with a serious expression.

Her voice was soft but carried a trace of seriousness.

When the Nether Ruins open, it will surely be bloody.

Although the Three Great Sects are eager to send their disciples to seize opportunities, they are reluctant for their lives to be lost in the Nether Ruins.

Therefore, increasing the disciples’ survival rate is crucial.

To achieve this, naturally, the most formidable disciples should be sent. On one hand, it can increase the survival rate, and on the other, it can showcase the strength of the sect.

That’s why an internal selection is necessary.

"I see!" Xu Wendong nodded in realization.

He secretly thought to himself that he must go to the Nether Ruins to find the whereabouts of the Three-Life Stone, and it seems this selection tournament is a must-attend.

Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Let’s go back. Father’s condition is unfavorable." Li Jiayin said hurriedly, her brow furrowed with worry.

She was well aware that her father’s illness could not be delayed even for a moment.

With that, she picked up the herbs and hurriedly headed towards Sect Master Peak.

To restore Li Lingtian to peak condition, Xu Wendong only needs to transfer yang energy, but doing so would expose his identity.

So, he decided to refine an elixir.

This way, the most that would happen is Li Lingtian and others would be surprised by his alchemy skills without suspecting his identity.

Having made up his mind, Xu Wendong asked Li Jiayin for the herbs.

Then.

He found a secluded place, requested a pill furnace, and began refining!
