Chapter 1162: Chapter 1162: The Heart that Cherishes Talent

"Let’s go and welcome Elder Wu together!"

Stronghold Chief Gu’s first reaction upon seeing the one man and three women with Innate Spiritual Roots that Wu De brought was that these four, like Su Linglong, had followed Wu De to join Green Bamboo Stronghold. He couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. His spirit, which had been languishing since Su Linglong suffered grievous injuries, was now invigorated again. Taking the lead, he strode towards Wu De and the others.

The other high-ranking members of Green Bamboo Stronghold also wore expressions of joy as they followed behind Stronghold Chief Gu to greet Wu De and his company.

It’s well-known that when the news of Su Linglong becoming a disciple of Green Bamboo Stronghold spread, Swiftwind Valley became extremely anxious, resorting to despicable means to seriously injure Su Linglong. If these four individuals brought by Wu De were all Martial Dao Geniuses like Su Linglong, it would be of significant importance to Green Bamboo Stronghold, and Swiftwind Valley would feel even more uneasy.

"Elder Wu, we’ve been eagerly awaiting your return! These four youngsters, they are friends you made in the Secular World, aren’t they? Come, introduce them to us!"

While still dozens of meters apart, Stronghold Chief Gu laughed loudly from a distance, his gaze filled with eagerness as he looked at the four individuals beside Wu De.

As they quickly closed the distance, Chief Gu took another look at the four beside Wu De, and he was even more astonished.

Stronghold Chief Gu noticed that although the young man was a High Rank Martial Artist of the Vast Level, he didn’t show the slightest bit of constraint or unease in the face of a Cosmic Level perfection powerhouse like himself. The young man’s calm composure gave Gu a sense of unfathomable depth, as if he was dealing with a powerhouse of the same realm as Valley Master Feng Lingtian of Swiftwind Valley.

And the three young and beautiful women, even though they were Martial Artists of the Desolate Level Realm, exuded a Martial Artist Aura that suggested their combat strength was not weaker than that of the initial stage warriors of the Vast Level.

Such a group of one man and three women, judging just by their appearance and sensing their Martial Artist Aura, one could tell they were rare Martial Dao Geniuses.

"Wu De pays respects to Stronghold Head Gu."

Wu De stopped in front of Gu, cupped his fists, and bowed slightly, then asked, "May I know why Stronghold Head Gu was awaiting my return? Is there something you wish to instruct?"

"It’s naturally about Linglong."

Stronghold Chief Gu moved his gaze away from the four individuals beside Wu De and sighed, "Linglong’s injuries might only be curable by a high-grade Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill. However, concocting a Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill is not easy. Firstly, we need a Thousand-Year Blood Bodhi, and secondly, we require the help of a high-grade Alchemist. Here in Tiansheng Continent, I’ve never heard of anyone possessing either a Thousand-Year Blood Bodhi or being a high-grade Alchemist, so we have no choice but to try our luck in Shenwu Continent."

At this point, he glanced at Wu De’s expression and said with a wry smile, "After discussing with the other high-ranking members of the stronghold, we felt that you, Elder Wu, are the most suitable person to go to Shenwu Continent. However, since you were away on a training journey, we couldn’t locate you in the short term and thought we had to abandon the idea. Little did we expect that you would actually return."

Wu De laughed heartily and pointed to the young man beside him, saying to Gu, "Stronghold Head Gu, this Brother Fang and Su Linglong were Martial Dao partners in the Secular World. Aware of Linglong’s injuries, he specially came to treat her. If her condition can be cured, then there’s no need to go to Shenwu Continent."

The young man Wu De pointed to was Fang Bai, and naturally, the three women beside him were Zhuge Lian, Linghu Qianjiao, and Linghu Baimei.

Fang Bai, with Su Linglong in his heart, along with Zhuge Lian, Linghu Qianjiao, and Linghu Baimi, under the guidance of Wu De, rode the Swiftwind Horses and sped here almost without rest, using the fastest time to reach Green Bamboo Stronghold.

As they approached Green Bamboo Stronghold, Fang Bai’s Divine Sense Diffusion detected a faint breath from Su Linglong, which made him extremely anxious. He wanted to barge directly into the core area of Green Bamboo Stronghold. Wu De, worried that Fang Bai would clash with the disciples of Green Bamboo Stronghold, had Cui Zihua, who was responsible for guarding the gate, immediately report to Stronghold Master Gu Li.

Wu De understood Fang Bai well and knew that his family and beloved in the Secular World were his reverse scales. If Green Bamboo Stronghold didn’t allow him to see Su Linglong, with his fearless nature, he was absolutely capable of anything.

However, in Wu De’s eyes, although Fang Bai was able to kill the Elder of Swiftwind Valley, he was still not a match for the massive entity that is Green Bamboo Stronghold. If Stronghold Master Gu Li personally took action, Fang Bai would not escape unscathed.

Wu De, though somewhat self-interested, still considered Fang Bai a friend at heart and naturally did not want Fang Bai to come into conflict with Green Bamboo Stronghold and seek his own death.

When Gu Li heard that Fang Bai was Su Linglong’s Martial Dao partner, he paid even more attention to Fang Bai, thinking that this young man had remarkable talent and carried the air of a future great Sect Master. He could see at first glance that Fang Bai was a not a common person and was indeed a match for Su Linglong.

Gu Li had the intention of cherishing talent and wanted to allure Fang Bai to join Green Bamboo Stronghold, but he also knew that with Su Linglong currently comatose, this young man probably had no interest in considering the matter right now.

"Linglong has been injured by a disciple of Swiftwind Valley, sustaining damage to her Qi Sea and severed meridians. Our Green Bamboo Stronghold had previously invited the best Alchemist from Weixiang Nation to concoct Healing Pills, but all to no avail. I wonder if Brother Fang has any methods to heal Linglong?" asked Gu Li, recalling what Wu De had said about Fang Bai coming specifically to treat Su Linglong. He asked eagerly, not holding much hope that Fang Bai could cure Su Linglong, believing that aside from high-grade Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pills, there was no other solution.

Wu De, being an Elder of Tribute of Green Bamboo Stronghold with a status on par with the high ranks of Green Bamboo Stronghold, referred to Fang Bai as "Brother Fang," so Gu Li had to follow suit and called Fang Bai "Brother Fang" as well.

Fang Bai was just over twenty, while Gu Li appeared to be in his sixties, but in reality, he was over a hundred years old, so when he addressed Fang Bai as "Brother Fang," even he felt it awkward.

Moreover, Gu Li, a formidable Cosmic Level perfection powerhouse and the Sect Master of a second-grade Sect, was one of the top-ranking figures amongst the countless Martial Artists of Tiansheng Continent. By calling Fang Bai "Brother Fang," he was not only giving Wu De face but also paying a great courtesy to Fang Bai.

The other high-ranking members of Green Bamboo Stronghold were watching and knew that the Stronghold Chief was trying to leave a good impression on Fang Bai, so as to persuade him to join Green Bamboo Stronghold in the future.

What the Green Bamboo Stronghold high ranks did not expect was that their Stronghold Chief spoke to Fang Bai with such politeness, yet Fang Bai showed not the slightest bit of being overwhelmed by the honor. Instead, he seemed somewhat impatient and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Stronghold Head Gu is too polite. Since I have come, I naturally have a way to heal Linglong."

With that said, he walked past Gu Li, stood beside the bamboo bed, and intently observed Su Linglong, who was in a coma.

Zhuge Lian, Linghu Qianjiao, and Linghu Baimi followed behind Fang Bai and also stood in front of the bamboo bed.

Linghu Qianjiao and Linghu Baimi had known Su Linglong in the Secular World and had even listened to Fang Bai discuss Martial Arts Techniques together. They got along well with each other and now saw that Linglong’s pretty face was pale, and her breath was weak, both furrowed their brows slightly with a look of concern.

Zhuge Lian was seeing Su Linglong for the first time and thought that although this sister was in a coma, pale and haggard, it was clear that she had been a breathtaking beauty, no wonder Brother Fang traveled thousands of miles to save her. This also showed that Brother Fang was a man of deep affection.
