Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 2530: Making a Mountain Out of a Molehill

An old immortal dressed in a crimson robe, frail in stature, stood before the Island Master Hall, scratching his head helplessly as he looked at the fiery armor."Master!"

Senior Sister Li and the Dragon Maiden descended from the clouds, landing behind the frail old immortal.

The frail old immortal turned around, seeing his two disciples. His wrinkled old face bore a serious expression as he asked, "The Dragon Blood Pool will open in a few days. Why aren’t you conserving your energy but coming here instead?"

Senior Sister Li, knowing that her master had a stern exterior but a kind heart, was not afraid of him at all. She smiled and nudged the Dragon Maiden, saying, "Master, Junior Sister Long wanted to come and see you."

The frail old immortal was none other than the current Island Master of Fire Dragon Island, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor.

However, even though the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor’s battle power was at its peak now, his cultivation level had stagnated. His lifespan had entered its countdown, with only three hundred years remaining.

Thus, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor spared no effort in nurturing the Dragon Maiden in hopes she would reach the Immortal Emperor Realm before his departure, so she could inherit the position of the next Island Master of Fire Dragon Island.

Upon hearing that the Dragon Maiden came to see him, the serious face of the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor softened slightly. He nodded and asked the Dragon Maiden, "Do you have enough immortal pills?"

The Dragon Maiden did not hide it and shook her head, responding, "Master, the disciple’s immortal pills should last for about half a year. After the Dragon Blood Pool training is over, I will leave the island to seek cultivation resources and exchange some immortal pills from the Immortal City on Land."

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor waved his hand and said, "No need for you to worry about the immortal pills; Master will handle it. You just focus on cultivating diligently..."

As he spoke, he casually took out two pill bottles and handed them to the Dragon Maiden, saying, "These are Emperor Grade Healing Pills and Creation Pills, which I recently had specially made for you by an Immortal Emperor Rank Pill Master."

The Dragon Maiden understood the intention behind her master’s gift of immortal pills and displayed a grateful expression.

The Fire Immortal Power contained within the Dragon Blood Pool was extremely fierce, and the disciples eligible to enter and cultivate in it would incur some physical damage, even after immersing for forty-nine days. The Healing Pill can rapidly repair such injuries.

As for the Creation Pill, it is an essential item for immortals when breaking through barriers to advance, and the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor hoped the Dragon Maiden could ascend two levels in the Dragon Blood Pool, so he had the Creation Pills specially crafted for her.

Although Fire Dragon Island had the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, an intermediate-level Immortal Emperor, in charge, lacking a Pill Master meant that the immortal pills needed by island disciples had to be sourced from the Immortal City on Land, tens of thousands of miles away.

Years ago, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor personally left the island to commission an Immortal Emperor Rank Pill Master to craft the Healing Pills and Creation Pills in preparation for the Dragon Blood Pool’s opening, where the Dragon Maiden would cultivate by immersion.

Originally, he intended to give the immortal pills to the Dragon Maiden before she entered the Dragon Blood Pool. But now that the topic came up, he decided to give them to her ahead of time.

If other disciples of the Immortal King Cultivation Realm were to use Emperor Grade immortal pills, the resulting surge in immortal power could cause severe bodily harm.

However, the Dragon Maiden did not have this worry.

With her Innate Fire Spirit Root, the Dragon Maiden’s body was much stronger than that of regular immortals.

Moreover, after devouring the Bauhinia Immortal Fire, her body underwent further refinement, becoming even more robust.

The upper echelons of Fire Dragon Island were amazed to find that within the Dragon Maiden’s body was a circulating Taoist Rhyme, making her seem more spiritual and filled with immortal aura than other female immortals.

Unknown to them, before ascending to the Immortal Realm, the Dragon Maiden often cultivated in conjunction with Fang Bai, intertwining their Chaos Immortal Qi and immortal qi, allowing Fang Bai’s Chaos Immortal Qi to cleanse her marrow repeatedly.

As such, the extent of the Dragon Maiden’s physical resilience was beyond their imagination.

For this reason, she could easily consume the Emperor Grade immortal pills without worry of the pill’s power causing bodily harm.

Furthermore, the Dragon Maiden’s physique allowed her to enter the Dragon Blood Pool directly without issue, rendering the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor’s intention to have her wear the Dragon Scale Armor overly cautious.

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor was unaware of the Dragon Maiden’s true capabilities, though his concerns stemmed from genuine care.

Even though her body could heal faster than using Healing Pills, the Dragon Maiden graciously accepted the two bottles of immortal pills under Senior Sister Li’s envious gaze and thanked her master.

The Creation Pill proved useful for accelerating the circulation of internal immortal qi, aiding in overcoming obstacles when advancing in rank.

"What a pity..."

Seeing the Dragon Maiden accept the immortal pills, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor sighed softly and pointed to the Dragon Scale Armor hanging above the Island Master Hall entrance, smiling bitterly, "I intended to take the armor down for you to wear as extra protection in the Dragon Blood Pool, but it seems to reject me..."

The Dragon Maiden shook her head and said, "It’s fine, Master. I don’t need it."

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor replied, "I placed great hope in you and want you to be completely safe!"

The Dragon Maiden said, "I understand, Master. I will be fine!"

Just then, an urgent and sharp screech, seeming to come from beyond the sky, broke the air.

Upon hearing this sound, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, Dragon Maiden, and Senior Sister Li’s faces all changed.

"Enemies have arrived! Sound the alarm! I’m going to meet them!"

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor said, transforming into a beam of light, rushing to meet the threat. In an instant, he was hundreds of miles away.

Fire Dragon Island had domesticated many Immortal King Realm Sea Eagles to patrol the ocean a thousand miles away from the island. If enemies invaded, the Sea Eagles would relay sharp calls to warn the disciples of Fire Dragon Island.

This time, the Sea Eagle’s returned cry was more piercing than before, indicating the arrival of strong enemies.

Thus, the Dragon Maiden and Senior Sister Li hurried to soar above Fire Dragon Island, emitting high-pitched whistles to summon the disciples to prepare for the approaching threat.

Within moments, thousands of disciples in crimson robes or skirts flew out from their Immortal Residences to gather above Fire Dragon Island, forming a defensive formation.

More than a dozen high-ranking members of Fire Dragon Island stood at the forefront of the formation, forming a line, their faces serious as they looked ahead.

Their divine senses extended over a thousand miles out, detecting large masses of "red clouds" rapidly approaching Fire Dragon Island.

A hundred miles before the black clouds, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor stood on his Immortal Wand, flying back toward Fire Dragon Island.

"Nine-headed Demon Birds, seeking to occupy our Fire Dragon Island! All disciples of Fire Dragon Island, prepare for battle!"

The slightly anxious voice of the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor reached the ears of several thousand disciples on the island, causing them a moment of fear.
