The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

And Tian Chu Zhenren and others, waited here until the Evil Qi of Heaven-Reaching Town was completely eliminated, and then rescued hundreds of thousands of those townspeople.

But after rescuing those townspeople, not only Tian Chu Zhenren, but even Ye Tianfan and those ordinary disciples could see that those townspeople wouldn't live long, because their Divine Souls had suffered severe damage.

Ye Tianfan took a look and realized they basically wouldn't live more than three years.

Some might even live shorter.

Moreover, after death, they would turn into Demons.

Fortunately, the Kind Sect has taken over the situation. The Kind Sect decided to stay here until everyone died, and then their disciples would leave.

This decision was wholeheartedly supported by Ye Tianfan because if the Kind Sect stayed here, then other sects wouldn't need to send people over.

After everything concluded, Ye Tianfan discussed with Tian Chu Zhenren that he would not return to his sect and wanted to go on an adventure. After all, his strength in this incident was too weak; he didn't help much. In Copper Gong Town, he was somewhat useful, but in Heaven-Reaching Town, he was basically of no use!

Additionally, Linghua, still known as Guang Meili, would return at some point, and then, the situation would be even more troublesome. If poorly handled, it could be a catastrophe for the cultivation world. Not just the cultivation world, even the Evil Qi alone would be enough to affect ordinary people.

Thus, Ye Tianfan bid farewell to Tian Chu Zhenren and Master Brother Yun Tian, and joyfully embarked on his journey of adventure.

After leaving Tian Chu Zhenren, Ye Tianfan flew alone towards the east.

It was noon, the sun shining brightly on the earth. After crossing a mountainous area, there was a vast plain, empty and sparsely populated. Only an ancient path, trodden by countless people in history, stretched straight ahead across the wilderness.

Upon seeing the ancient path, Ye Tianfan descended from the sky. This journey was not urgent; there was no specific destination. He would go wherever fate led, no longer pursuing combat, because Ye Tianfan discovered that his strength had matched his heart and mind. If the mind did not improve, even if strength increased, it would be useless, overshadowed by power.

Ye Tianfan walked silently on the ancient path. As he walked, he reminisced about how he used to stroll with Qin Ruomeng after eating. In truth, he wasn't fond of walking, but Qin Ruomeng insisted on taking him for a walk, saying that walking a hundred steps after meals could make one live until ninety-nine. He was a medical student, so how could he not know? Even without walking, he could let Qin Ruomeng live until ninety-nine. No, forget ninety-nine, even one hundred and ninety-nine might be possible.

Now, he could easily live until two hundred and ninety-nine, or even three hundred and ninety-nine, but what meaning would it have?

If he truly lived to three hundred and ninety-nine here, he would likely be extremely lonely!

On the ancient path, burdened with thoughts, Ye Tianfan suddenly stopped walking and looked up at the sky.

The sky was azure, distant and high, appearing unattainably lofty.

Ye Tianfan gazed blankly, his lips moved slightly, brows furrowed, and in a low voice, seemingly addressing the depths of someone's heart, he softly asked:

"What is the real reason the Nine Dragon Cup brought me here? Is it a mission or coincidence?"

In the following days, Ye Tianfan ate and slept exposed to the elements, not specifically seeking towns. Though he had few silver taels, he would find something to eat when hungry in the wild or fetch food he had previously bought from the Xuanhuang Tower. When tired, he would find shelter to sleep for the night; if none was available, he would use his fists to carve a hole in a rock and sleep inside!

Had he controlled the flying sword, he could find a town in less than a day. But Ye Tianfan had no such plan because he was cultivating his heart and mind.

If he dealt with everything using the ways of a cultivator, Ye Tianfan feared he would forget he was once an ordinary person, and become as arrogant as other cultivators.

Though some people did not feel arrogant inside, an inherent pride could never completely be erased!

Nonetheless, after traversing such a lengthy journey, Ye Tianfan felt much more at ease, not only because of the scenery he saw along the way but also because these sights brought a slight improvement in his heart and mind.

Yet even after his heart improved, Ye Tianfan still felt no urge to take flight again. Walking on the ground enriched his heart and mind, and such a benefit should not be missed!

Thus, Ye Tianfan walked on the ancient path for seven entire days; had he not been a cultivator untouched by dirt, he would have been a disheveled beggar by now!

However, in the past two days, Ye Tianfan noticed that people gradually appeared more frequently on the road. Squinting ahead, he saw that at the end of the ancient path, there was a small town.

Have I arrived at a populated place? Ye Tianfan looked at the town ahead and walked over with a smile.

After all, he hadn't interacted with people for several days and felt too lonely, even though solitude could enhance one's mental state. But balancing work and rest, if continually lonely, could turn one into a recluse.

Moreover, Ye Tianfan wanted to enter the town and take a good bath!

When Ye Tianfan approached the town's entrance, he found a sign with large characters that read: Huo Rong Town!

It must be said, this name is quite apt; clearly, there must be fire around here.

Thus, Ye Tianfan entered the town. If there was fire nearby, it was perfect for him because although Ye Tianfan could absorb any type of Spiritual Qi now, he was still most comfortable with fire attribute Spiritual Qi.

After entering the town, Ye Tianfan immediately asked someone about the largest inn in town, preferably one with bath facilities.

The person he asked initially responded with a sleazy grin before recommending an inn.

Initially, Ye Tianfan didn't notice the person's sleaziness, but upon arriving at the recommended inn, he realized that the person had steered him towards the Lichun Courtyard, which indeed offered bathing services.

This infuriated Ye Tianfan. Do I really seem like that kind of sleazy person? Steering me towards such a place, I want a proper place, not here!

Thus, Ye Tianfan asked another person at the entrance, emphasizing this time that he did not want such a place, only a legitimate establishment.
