Immortals of the End Times

Chapter 61: Zhixia's Letter, the Imperial Concubine Invites Her for a Medical Consultation

Zhao Wuji opened Nan Zhixia's letter and read it for a while.

His fiancée's words were still full of understanding, gentle care, and tenderness, every word of which was very considerate.

But at the end, it was mentioned that he should not easily try to verify his qualifications for the royal family's recruitment of immortals.

It is said that he met a fairy in Yunmeng City, who is now helping him inquire about his destiny with immortals. Therefore, she will not be able to return to the capital for a while, and he should wait patiently for good news.

"I encountered a fairy in Yunmeng City? Could she be the Supreme Holy Mother? Does Zhixia not approve of me joining Linlang Cave Heaven?"

That's true. Given the relationship between the Supreme Sect and the royal family, the Supreme Grotto-Heaven and the Jade Grotto-Heaven might not be on good terms.

Zhao Wuji looked at the post station where the letter was sent, and it was indeed sent from Yunmeng City.

If he writes to Nan Zhixia in the future, he can send it to this address.

However, he estimated that if he went to Yunmeng City to find Nan Zhixia, he might not be able to find her.

Despite Nan Zhixia's reminder, Zhao Wuji had his own plans.

He stroked the letter, a knowing glint in his eyes.

The worry revealed between the lines of Nan Zhixia's words clearly indicates that Linlang Cave is not a good place.

But Zhao Wuji knew very well that all crows are black.

If there truly were such renowned immortal sects, the cultivation environment in the four southern kingdoms wouldn't be like this; where would any virtuous sects be?
The Xuan Kingdom's royal family is busy with their own ambitions, and the Supreme Sect is nothing more than a group that uses the banner of saving the world to expand its power and stir up many unnecessary disputes. They are not good people either.

Of course, if his fiancée were to take charge of the Supreme Sect in the future, and she were to have a place in the Supreme Grotto-Heaven, he wouldn't mind going there to freeload off her.

But for now, everyone is still weak. We can support each other, but it's hard to say who will take off in the big picture. So let's climb our own ladder first and wait for the clouds to part and the moon to shine.

After noting down the address of the post station, Zhao Wuji picked up the letter left by Li Nianwei and examined it.

"This Miss Li visited us once."

Xiaoyue reminded him from the side, her eyebrows furrowing as she observed the adults' expressions and tried to figure out the relationship between them.

Zhao Wuji unfolded the letter, his fingertips pausing slightly on the four characters "Qingxia Lingzi".

Li Nianwei has already been selected as a celestial being by the Imperial Observatory, and her aptitude is extraordinary; she is considered one of the best among this batch of selected individuals.

Even better than her is Consort Li, Li Shiyu, who possesses the highest level of spiritual talent in the Golden Radiance category.

The other party reminded him in the letter that Consort Li had now regained favor, and the Dongtian Immortal Sect behind the royal family would also focus on cultivating her.

If he truly desires to attain immortality, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"I never imagined that Consort Li was also a woman of extraordinary talent. I didn't even realize it when I was giving her acupuncture in the Cold Palace."

Zhao Wuji sighed inwardly.

To express her gratitude, Consort Li once gifted him a gold hairpin.

He still keeps that gold hairpin; it can be considered a good deed.

"The Azure Cloud Spiritual Talent is already considered extremely good; the Golden Radiance Spiritual Talent, like that of Consort Li, will be the focus of our cultivation."

It seems that if I join the Linglang Grotto-Heaven with golden light, my starting point will definitely be different; however, we still need to observe further.

When it's time to fight for a position, you should fight for it; this is also a form of self-protection.

Otherwise, if they miss the opportunity and are relegated to the bottom, given the nature of this world's cultivation world, it's highly likely that the bottom-level cannon fodder will be sacrificed first.

He then picked up Liu Jianzheng's letter and opened it.

The two letters were exactly the same, both urging him to seize the opportunity to become an immortal.

"The recruitment of immortal beings is in full swing right now. But with the connection of Director Liu of the Imperial Observatory, I'm not in a hurry."

He asked Xiaoyue to grind ink and wrote a letter of several hundred words to Nan Zhixia to express his care and maintain their relationship.

He planned to visit the other two directly, and also inquire about the recruitment of immortal seeds.

However, at that very moment, a letter from the Imperial Medical Academy inviting her to a consultation arrived at her residence. The person inviting her was none other than Consort Li.

This imperial concubine had been waiting for him for many days, and this time she invited him to treat a great man's cold ailment with acupuncture.

"Big man?"

Zhao Wuji wondered, given Consort Li's current powerful position, who could be the person who still needed to be called a big shot?
With three palaces and six courtyards, it seems that apart from the Empress and the Emperor, there is no one else. But how could these two have a cold ailment?

"To the Penglai Imperial Palace for medical treatment?"

He looked at the invitation letter, lost in thought.

After hesitating and pondering for a moment.

He first stored all his spiritual power into the Nine Yin Nine Yang Pearl, carefully put away his magical artifacts, then picked up his medical kit and went to provide treatment.

Inside the Penglai Palace, the bright pearl lamps illuminated the sleeping quarters with dazzling brilliance. Consort Li stood outside the beaded curtain, her fingertips nervously tracing the patterns on the jade pot on the table.

"Physician Zhao just returned from practicing medicine in another county today,"

Her voice was soft, yet she couldn't hide a hint of nervousness, "This person is a national expert in treating cold ailments, if..."

Behind the beaded curtain came the soft sound of pages turning, and Peak Master Hua's voice flowed like a cold spring: "My cold poison originates from the peculiar nature of my cultivation technique, and even the cultivation world is helpless against it. It is only natural that a mere mortal doctor cannot cure it."

"What you say is true, senior." Consort Li felt relieved.

Just then, the coded call of magpies came from outside the window, and she immediately knew that Zhao Wuji had arrived, and said.

"Senior, Physician Zhao has arrived."

Behind the beaded curtain, a cold and aloof woman wearing a veil leaned against a brocade couch, her pale fingertips resting on the ancient book "Zhen Gao" that she had taken from the Imperial Observatory, and spoke softly.

"Let's call him in and see."

Outside the bedchamber, Zhao Wuji, who was waiting quietly, had already sensed the powerful aura inside the room with his extraordinary spiritual perception, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"This aura seems to be that of the purple-robed female cultivator who reprimanded the Empress when we were observing the Linglang Cave Heaven that day?"

Zhao Wuji took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart and trying his best to calm down.

He secretly thought it was good that he knew it was Penglai Palace and had concealed his spiritual power before coming.

Otherwise, what would this senior from the Linglang Cave Heaven think if he suddenly discovered that this imperial physician from the Xuan Kingdom was also a cultivator?

At this moment, at the respectful prompting of a pretty maid, Zhao Wuji stepped into the room.

At a glance, he spotted Consort Li sitting upright in the inner hall of the sleeping quarters.

On the opposite side, behind the beaded curtain, on a recliner, sat the graceful figure of a woman wearing a veil, casually and languidly turning the pages of a book, exuding a faintly intimidating aura.

"Doctor Zhao, you've been traveling and treating patients for many days now, and you've finally returned."

At this moment, Consort Li smiled and stood up, personally introducing, "You must have heard about the Linlang Grotto Heaven's recruitment of immortal seeds while you were traveling."

"This esteemed immortal master comes from the Linglang Grotto-heaven. Having heard of your reputation for healing cold ailments with your golden needles, the immortal master wishes to witness it firsthand. You must give it your all."

"Immortal Master, would you like me to treat you?" Zhao Wuji feigned astonishment, feigning a blank expression.

Seeing his appearance, Consort Li became anxious and was about to speak when the calm voice of Peak Master Hua came from behind the beaded curtain.

"There is no need to be afraid. The cold ailment I have contracted is no ordinary disease. Even the methods of immortals would find it difficult to diagnose and treat."

Now that Consort Li and the Emperor both praise your cold-dispelling acupuncture, I will summon you to give it a try.

A thousand thoughts raced through Zhao Wuji's mind.

Knowing that both the Emperor and Consort Li had recommended him, he knew he couldn't refuse.

Now that he had arrived here, he had no choice but to try acupuncture.
There will be an extra chapter later. I'll add one before the book goes on sale tomorrow at noon to get everyone excited.
