Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1007: Entering Ice Peak

Seeing the Spatial Ring on Fang Bai’s finger, Huang Miao and the others felt shocked and envied Fang Bai for his fortunate encounter.

Soon after, they thought about the advantages of Fang Bai having a Spatial Ring, and they all became excited.

"That’s great, Junior Brother Fang has a treasure like the Spatial Ring, it’s just right for putting the two Spirit Cores in it without worrying about being discovered by the higher-ups of the Martial Academy."

Huang Miao was in high spirits and said with a beaming smile.

"All the other Cultivation Resources we’ve collected on this trip can also be temporarily placed in Junior Brother Fang’s Spatial Ring, that’s the safest way. Ah! Junior Brother Fang, why didn’t you tell us earlier about the Spatial Ring? You’ve kept us in such agony!"

Hou Ziping thought of some Cultivation Resources they had previously collected, which they had to abandon because they couldn’t carry them. If they had known Fang Bai had a Spatial Ring back then, perhaps it wouldn’t have been necessary, and he couldn’t help stomping his feet with a sigh.

Before Fang Bai could speak, Huang Miao continued, "A treasure as valuable as the Spatial Ring, how can one show it off easily? It’s only natural for Junior Brother Fang to be cautious. Just think about it, what would happen if others knew that Junior Brother Fang had a Spatial Ring? You should understand, right, Junior Brother Hou?"

Hou Ziping was stunned for a moment, then he forced a smile and said, "I understand. If others knew that Junior Brother Fang had a Spatial Ring, they would inevitably covet it and might even harbor murderous intentions towards Junior Brother Fang."

Huang Miao nodded and said, "Exactly. Therefore, we must keep the fact that Junior Brother Fang has a Spatial Ring confidential, and must not reveal it to others."

She looked at Fang Bai and said earnestly, "Junior Brother Fang, rest assured, we will keep the affair of the Spatial Ring a secret. If anyone leaks this information, I’ll be the first to not forgive him!"

When she said the last sentence, her pretty face contained a hint of threat, and the aura of Killing Qi around her was nearly suffocating. Hou Ziping, Liu Qingqing, and Liu Liehu all felt an almost suffocating pressure.

Fang Bai smiled calmly and scanned his eyes over the faces of the four, saying, "We’ve shared hardships and exchanged our hearts with each other. I believe you would not do anything to harm me."

In fact, with Fang Bai’s strength, he was not worried about the news of the Spatial Ring being leaked, even if someone as powerful as Ren Jingbo, a Desolate Level Perfection expert from Bitao Martial Academy, coveted his Spatial Ring and tried to seize it by force, it would be impossible to succeed.

For an expert like Ren Jingbo with Desolate Level Perfection, Fang Bai had a completely overwhelming advantage; if he wished, he could kill him with a slap.

However, Fang Bai, with his experience from two lifetimes spanning tens of thousands of years, had an accurate judgment of people and knew Ren Jingbo to be a straightforward and honest person. Even if Ren Jingbo knew about the Spatial Ring, he would probably only envy it, without harboring any malicious intentions.

However, the intentions of other higher-ups in the Martial Academy were less predictable.

From Fang Bai’s observations, he knew that several high-ranking members of the Martial Academy were very tactful, ruthless, and if they knew that he owned a Spatial Ring, they would surely harbor murderous intentions.

Fang Bai was naturally unafraid of this, and he was prepared to meet force with force if anyone dared to make a move against him.

As Huang Miao and the others marvelled, Fang Bai collected the two Spirit Cores into the Spatial Ring, then smiled and said, "The Gigantopithecus Thunderape and Golden Scaled Rhinoceros killed each other in their attack, and I have collected all the useful things from their bodies into the Spatial Ring, to be shared among us in the future. You guys don’t have any objections, right?"

"Of course not!"

"Junior Brother Fang has a Spatial Ring, and among the five of us, his strength is the strongest, so it’s safest in your hands!"

"I’m at ease with Brother Fang in charge!"

"Mid-tier Spirit Beasts are treasures all over, if we could bring them all back, we’d make a fortune!"

...

Huang Miao and the others expressed their positions one after another.

They all had come to know Fang Bai well, aware that he was open-minded, generous, and righteous, and therefore a trustworthy person.

"Should we return now?"

After the excitement, Huang Miao calmed down and looked towards Ice Peak in the distance, asking Fang Bai.

Their gains from this mountain expedition had already far exceeded expectations, beyond what they had ever dreamed of, and returning now would be most appropriate.

While the Ice Peaks ahead might contain greater fortunes, the extreme cold between them was a Forbidden Zone of Life for humans, with various unknown risks, and Huang Miao and the others felt there was no need to take further risks.

Fang Bai, born loving adventure, sensed Essence Energy fluctuations between those eighteen Ice Peaks and knew there must be treasures there. He wouldn’t be content without exploring them to understand them clearly.

As for the risks potentially existing between the Ice Peaks, Fang Bai had many life-saving methods and feared nothing.

Fang Bai decided to continue forward, entering Ice Peak to seek fortune, but he also knew that Huang Miao and the others were not strong enough to withstand the cold there, and he couldn’t split his focus to take care of them, so they had to stay here.

"I’ll go to Ice Peak alone, and you four wait here. Within one day, whether or not I find anything, I will definitely return."

Fang Bai told Huang Miao and the others.

"Brother Fang, I’ll go with you!"

"Me too!"

Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu, the two siblings, were Fang Bai’s most loyal followers. Upon hearing this, they boldly stood up.

Fang Bai waved his hand and said, "You might not be able to endure the temperature between the Ice Peaks, and if you go, you might perish there. That’s enough, you two behave yourselves and patiently wait here with Senior Sister Huang and Senior Brother Hou... if you don’t listen, I’ll be very angry."

Fang Bai said this with a stern face and a serious expression, his innate authority making Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu feel even more reverence and dare not plead further with Fang Bai to take them along, instead staying obediently with Huang Miao and Hou Ziping.

"Actually, our gains this time are unprecedented in the nearly ten thousand year history of Bitao Martial Academy. To be able to bring back these Cultivation Resources, I’m already satisfied. But Junior Brother Fang... why does he do this to himself?" observed Hou Ziping, watching Fang Bai’s retreating figure as he moved towards the Ice Peaks using his movement technique.

Huang Miao sighed, "We are overly cautious and tend to retreat when facing danger, thus missing many opportunities. Whereas Junior Brother Fang chooses to face the dangers... I think, this is probably the reason why Junior Brother Fang, despite being younger, surpasses us in strength."

She paused, a look of shame on her face, thinking that while Junior Brother Fang dared to venture into Ice Peak, she didn’t dare to take risks. Compared to Fang Bai, what she lacked was the courage to disregard hardships and put life and death aside.

Hou Ziping also reflected similarly, like Huang Miao, facing any life-threatening danger, they would prefer to evade, rather than gamble with their lives.
