Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1981 - 1978: I’m Coming In
Previously on Urban Romantic Divine Doctor...
"Of course!" Elder An Guang nodded eagerly, his face full of delight.
"Lin Mo is indeed reliable, unlike Old Qi, who promised to carve runes for me yet still hasn’t delivered." As he spoke, he glanced sidelong at Qi Lechun, his tone teasing.
Qi Lechun glared at him, annoyed, but couldn’t be bothered to bicker.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Lechun walked over to Xu Wendong, his expression serious. "Lin Mo, there is something I need to tell you that may concern your future."
Xu Wendong put away his smile, straightening up and responding seriously, "Please, Elder Qi, go ahead."
Li Jiayin and Elder An Guang also perked up their ears, concentrating intently.
"You should know that the Heavenly Nether Domain is just a small part of the Netherworld." Qi Lechun gazed into the distance as if his eyes could penetrate the boundaries of heaven and earth.
"Beyond us lies the Da Yin Dynasty, and the Heavenly Nether Domain is merely a trivial corner of it."
Xu Wendong nodded, understanding the structure of the Netherworld well.
The Netherworld is vast and boundless, divided into countless sections, each crowded with powerful forces.
The section where the Heavenly Nether Domain is located is filled with kingdoms, and sects sprout up like bamboo shoots after rain, with families scattered like stars.
And the Da Yin Dynasty is controlled by the powerful Imperial Family, under which there are seven top forces, each capable of easily flattening the Heavenly Nether Sect.
"Within the Da Yin Dynasty, there’s the Dan Pavilion of the Pill Masters, the Treasure Weapon Tower of the Artifact Refiners, and our Nether Talisman Master’s Nether Talisman Hall," Qi Lechun said slowly, with a tone of pride. "I come from the Nether Talisman Hall."
Li Jiayin and Elder An Guang had already known this, but a trace of awe still flashed in their eyes at the mention of the Nether Talisman Hall.
As one of the Seven Great Forces of the Da Yin Dynasty, the Nether Talisman Hall is renowned and revered.
Xu Wendong squinted slightly, feeling a bit surprised.
He hadn’t expected Qi Lechun to be from the Nether Talisman Hall.
He had heard of this force, which specializes in recruiting and training Nether Talisman Masters and conducting grade assessments.
Members of the Nether Talisman Hall are respected wherever they go.
"Every year, our Nether Talisman Hall recruits new members. This time, I plan to recommend you and Zhou Ran to join," Qi Lechun finally revealed his purpose, eyes full of anticipation.
Xu Wendong smiled, a hint of contemplation in his voice: "I’ve already joined the Heavenly Nether Sect, can I still join the Nether Talisman Hall?"
Li Jiayin stepped forward and gently explained, "Of course you can. The Nether Talisman Hall doesn’t conflict with the Heavenly Nether Sect, Father permits disciples to join other forces."
"Ultimately, the Heavenly Nether Sect is somewhat weak..." There was a trace of helplessness in her tone, and her eyes flashed with melancholy.
Xu Wendong fell into thought.
He currently had no plans to join the Nether Talisman Hall, especially since he possessed the Painting Saint Carving Knife, a treasure of great value.
At the Heavenly Nether Sect, with Sect Master Li Lingtian’s protection, if he went elsewhere, he would be unfamiliar and vulnerable to envy.
"The Nether Talisman Hall will soon send people to participate in the Nether Ruins; then, I can arrange for someone to assess you," Qi Lechun added, his tone eager.
"The Nether Talisman Hall has collected numerous classics from the Da Yin Dynasty, and there are even records regarding the Three-Life Stone."
"Three-Life Stone?" A flash of intense interest appeared in Xu Wendong’s eyes.
His purpose in coming to the Netherworld was to search for the Three-Life Stone. If the Nether Talisman Hall truly had related information, joining would be worth considering.
"If there’s an opportunity, I will consider it." Xu Wendong said with a smile, his tone reserved.
Qi Lechun nodded in satisfaction, his face beaming with a smile: "Good, then I’ll report your name. During the Nether Ruins journey, the people from the Nether Talisman Hall will come to assess your grade."
Elder An Guang, seeing that the matter was settled, waved his hand and left freely.
Qi Lechun also left contentedly, his steps light as if ten years younger.
Only Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin were left inside the room.
"Senior sister, thank you for your hard work today." Xu Wendong’s smile was warm, his tone affectionate.
Li Jiayin looked at him, a trace of adoration in her eyes.
She always admired strength, and Xu Wendong was not only powerful but also elegant, practically perfect in her eyes.
"Not hard at all, rather delightful." Li Jiayin’s lips curved gently, her eyes smiled, as warm and bright as the spring sun.
She recalled Xu Wendong’s performance in the relics, her heart filled with awe. Seeing him being sought after even by two Elders today made her heart flutter even more.
"Senior sister, tomorrow is the selection event, I plan to get some rest." Xu Wendong’s tone carried a hint of fatigue, but in reality, he intended to return and carve the last Gold Chaos talisman just in case.
A trace of loss flashed in Li Jiayin’s eyes, and she sighed lightly: "Then have a good rest, good luck tomorrow, we’ll meet at the Nether Ruins." She turned to leave, her silhouette somewhat desolate.
Xu Wendong scratched his head, puzzled by her reaction, but didn’t think much of it and returned straight to his room.
The night was deep, and moonlight spilled into the room like water.
Xu Wendong leaned against the bedside, contemplating the journey to the Nether Ruins.
He knew well that this journey would not only involve the disciples of the Three Great Forces in the Heavenly Nether Domain but also attract the geniuses of the Da Yin Dynasty.
Facing those true children of heaven, he had to be well-prepared.
After finishing the last Gold Chaos talisman, Xu Wendong was about to rest when a gentle yet urgent voice sounded outside the door: "Lin Mo, I’m coming in."
The door was pushed open immediately.
Xu Wendong opened his eyes to see Zhao Ying’er approaching.
Her figure was graceful, her light purple dress outlining her enchanting curves, her slender waist as graceful as a willow, and the curve of her chest faintly discernible, stirring the imagination.
Her skin was fair as jade, glowing softly under the moonlight as if coated with a gentle silver sheen.
Her features were exquisitely crafted, her brows like distant mountains with a shade of indigo, her eyes like limpid autumn waters, her nose well-defined, her lips rosy, like a rosebud ready to bloom, beautiful and tender.
During this period, Xu Wendong had been busy with cultivation and various affairs, and hadn’t seen Zhao Ying’er for a long time.
No doubt she had been diligent in her cultivation, for she too was eager to join the Nether Ruins expedition.
Moreover, as Xu Wendong knew, Zhao Ying’er’s cultivation had quietly reached the Tongyou Realm, fully qualifying her for the Nether Ruins selection.
Xu Wendong smiled and said, "Miss Zhao, what brings you here?"
"Lin Mo, we haven’t seen each other for just a few days, and you’re so distant? Calling me Miss Zhao!" Zhao Ying’er frowned slightly, a hint of feigned anger in her eyes.
Her voice carried a trace of coquettishness, as if reproaching Xu Wendong for being distant.
She walked straight to Xu Wendong’s side, her steps light yet tinged with a bit of urgency and discontent.
Her long dress swayed gently with her steps, revealing a long, slender white leg, her ankle delicate as if it would shatter with a squeeze.
"Tomorrow is the selection event, and I’m a bit nervous." Zhao Ying’er’s voice was soft, like a spring breeze, carrying a thread of timidity.
She lowered her head slightly, her long lashes fluttering, her cheeks blushing faintly, like a freshly blossomed peach flower, gracefully shy.
As soon as she finished speaking, she unceremoniously sat down at the edge of Xu Wendong’s bed, her hands unconsciously tugging at her clothes.
Her actions carried a bit of a young girl’s shyness, yet also exuded an aura of bold closeness.
"So I came to find you, I want you to comfort me." Zhao Ying’er raised her head, her gaze fixed on Xu Wendong, eyes full of anticipation.
In her gaze was a hint of allure, as if silently inviting.
