Chapter Forty-Four: Farewell, Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox

  Wen Tao's body instantly entered a state of combat readiness. If an ordinary person were to encounter such a situation, they would be terrified, but Wen Tao was only startled. As a master who had achieved the Xiantian realm through his family's martial arts, he was naturally astonished that someone could sneak up to the window without making a sound.

  "Please come in..." Wentao followed the usual procedure, just like when a patient knocks on the door. Since the other party had knocked first, he would also show courtesy first, so on the surface, there was not a single change.

  The window was pulled open and a beautiful big beauty jumped into the room.

  Ling Lan... Although Ling Lan at this time was greatly different from the last time she saw herself, whether it was her expression, complexion or attire, they seemed like two completely different people. After all, that was her most miserable moment, Tian Jie, being ambushed by others, suffering heavy injuries and then having a small Tian Jie, it would be strange if she were to recover.

  At this time, Ling Lan was full of spirit and charm, even without any movement, she still looked extremely charming, exuding endless charm from all over her body.

  "Doctor Wen......" The Cultivation Realm has its own rules, Ling Lan cupped her hands and knelt in worship, but the master had become Doctor Wen, which seemed out of place.

  "En" knew it was their rule, so Wentao didn't stop him and let him kneel down. Afterwards, he said: "Get up, I didn't expect you to come back so quickly!"

  Wen Tao had Ling Lan collect various medicinal materials from the Cultivation Realm, regardless of their value. Apart from wanting to research them himself, another meaning was that he wanted her to appear less often in his presence. There wasn't much to it, Wen Tao tried not to get entangled with people from the Cultivation Realm as much as possible, considering it a preventive measure. At least for now, he didn't want to have too much contact with the Cultivation Realm.

  Since Gu Han's ascension to the Immortal Realm, the rules set by Mount Shu Sword Sect have been that only the sect leader can know about the matter of ascension, even if someone from Mount Shu Sword Sect seeks to ascend with Wen Tao. Others are kept in the dark until they are introduced to Wen Tao by the sect leader and then directly ascend upon learning of Wen Tao's existence.

  This is Wen Tao's way of protecting himself.

  Ling Lan stood there respectfully and replied, "I have a friend who is mainly engaged in alchemy and medicine. As a nine-tailed celestial fox, my tribe only has a sense of some rare spiritual medicines, and we are not familiar with ordinary medicines. So I came to my friend's place for two reasons: one is to inquire and understand, and the other is to take some medicines from him for Dr. Wen to use. Later, I will go to collect more medicines."

  So that's how it is. Listening to Ling Lan's response and seeing her serious attitude towards work, Wen Tao really wants to keep him by his side to help out, because the clinic has been extremely busy lately. They still need to hire more people, and now they've hired another person to grab medicine, along with Li Jie and Yanlin, if they hire even more people.

  Wen Tao now wants to find someone who is more to his liking and easier to get along with, to help him directly record some prescriptions and various situations. If he can get these things done while seeing patients, it will save himself a lot of time.

  Watching Ling Lan's calm and collected demeanor, handling matters with meticulous care, it was actually quite suitable. Unfortunately, after weighing the pros and cons, Wen Tao dispelled this idea for now. It would be better to recruit two more people first, then transfer Yan Lin out and spend a bit more time cultivating her instead.

  It's better to be with ordinary people, if Ling Lan stays by my side, I'm afraid that in the future, I'll gradually get entangled with the Cultivation world and its cultivators, bringing trouble. Wen Tao likes the Cultivation world, but now he doesn't have the ability, it's not the right time to make contact.

  Ling Lan respectfully handed over a storage ring with both hands, but Wen Tao didn't take it: "I can't use the storage ring through spiritual energy now, you set up a spiritual wave recognition array, and I'll recognize it by dripping blood."

  “……” Ling Lan stared at Wen Tao in surprise, from the beginning to now, Wen Tao had given her too many surprises, but she never thought that the master who helped her through so many small crises with just a wave of his hand would actually be unable to use spiritual energy. Was he really an ordinary person? Impossible. However, as a nine-tailed fox, she had already made a vow, and so Wen Tao was now like a baby to her, and she would keep her promise.

  Ling Lan paused for a moment, then said: "Dr. Wen, I don't know how to use this formation method. This is a relatively rare formation method in the cultivation world, and non-human cultivators generally have a relatively poor grasp of formation methods. The Spiritual Wave Control Formation belongs to the rare and extremely advanced formation methods, and only some high-ranking people from major sects will use it."

  Oh! So that's how it is. Wēn Tāo only now realized that the formation method to recognize the master of a storage ring wasn't simple at all. Because those he had previously come into contact with used it very easily, Wēn Tāo didn't know how this formation worked.

  Wen Tao thought for a moment, opened his own storage ring, and let Ling Lan take out the things and put them back into his own storage ring. Although it was a bit troublesome, it wasn't slow either.

  Afterwards, Wentao didn't say much to her either, instructing her to leave. However, this time he told her not to rush and that it would be fine if she came once a month or every two months. Wentao also told her that gathering herbs was just one aspect of things, and she didn't need to waste all her time on it; in her free time, she could do whatever she wanted or needed to do.

  Ling Lan didn't expect that Wen Tao not only let her leave freely, but also gave her such great freedom again. She was naturally grateful in her heart. However, Ling Lan wasn't good at expressing herself either, so after bowing to thank him, she flashed away and left.

  Watching her fly away, Wentao stood there daydreaming, wondering when he could freely soar through the skies. But looking at their cultivation path, it seemed quite lonely too. Since he couldn't cultivate now, he might as well enjoy this wonderful life he had today.

  But thinking of Ling Lan's silent approach earlier, Wentao thought to himself that if he could cultivate freely, with so many magical treasures at his disposal, who would be able to get close to him so easily.

  Thinking of this, he began to summon the only spiritual energy that could gather together. Instantly activating the public utility of the Spirit Gathering Robe, Wentai's spiritual consciousness was instantly amplified and expanded, with everything within a thousand meters under his control. This state was one of the defensive protection utilities of the Spirit Gathering Robe; if it had been activated earlier, Linglan would not have been able to approach silently.

  It's just that Wén Tāo can only start for a few minutes now, today is just an impromptu move, starting the protective commonality of Jù Líng Yī, but didn't think.

  At the moment when his spiritual awareness opened up, Wentao immediately felt that something was off. Linglan's speed had not fully unfolded, and she flew out for a segment before falling down. After all, she didn't dare to fly recklessly in the city either.

  What surprised Wen Tao was that there were actually three others with no weaker powers than his own following closely behind Ling Lan.

  No matter what, Ling Lan is now under his own command. These three guys are not ordinary people, and they must be up to no good with their sneaky behavior. Wentai immediately jumped out of the window as well, quickly approaching while his spiritual sense was still active.
