Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 504

Chapter 504: Chapter 148: If I Say I’ll Crush You, I Won’t Go Easy on You!

The appearance of Jing Tian caused a sensation outside the Spiritual Consciousness Tower once again.

"It’s Senior Brother Jing Tian!" The disciples of the Main Courtyard, upon seeing Jing Tian, were slightly surprised. But they quickly reacted, hurriedly making way respectfully, bowing their heads and saying—

"Senior Brother Jing Tian!"

"Senior Brother Jing Tian!"

And Jing Tian, still arrogant, walked slowly through the crowd. Such presence, in an ordinary person, would be seen as overly proud, but in him, he had the right to be.

Because he was the youngest and most gifted Spirit Level Alchemist in the Main Courtyard!

Of course, in such a harmonious and respectful scene, there were three people who appeared out of place.

These three people naturally were Mu Qingge and Zhu Ling standing under a tree, and Zhao Nanxing, who was settling a bet with Zhe Xiu.

These three did not show the same respect as the others.

In fact, seeing Zhe Xiu, who had been arguing with him a minute ago, now bowing respectfully, Zhao Nanxing couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Mu Qingge was also a Spirit Level Alchemist; why didn’t they act this way in front of her?

’It seems to be a matter of the person!’ Zhao Nanxing instantly pinpointed the root of the issue.

Jing Tian walked to the Obsidian Stele, his expression indifferent as he glanced around. Wherever his gaze landed, the Main Courtyard disciples bowed even lower without exception.

This scene seemed to please him, a proud arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

However, when he saw the three of Mu Qingge, the joy of being surrounded by the crowd was instantly shattered. Especially since he saw no trace of respect in their eyes, a slight anger rose in his heart.

Mu Qingge was understandable!

After all, she was also a Spirit Level Alchemist, and had reasons to be proud.

But who were the other two? How dare they treat him with such disrespect?

A layer of coldness appeared in Jing Tian’s arrogant eyes.

This subtle reaction was immediately understood by those familiar with him at his side.

"Hey, why don’t you three salute upon seeing Senior Brother Jing Tian?" The one standing on Jing Tian’s right immediately jumped out, scolding the three angrily while trying to please Jing Tian with his expression.

This statement immediately highlighted Mu Qingge and the other two.

Almost instantly, the gazes of the Main Courtyard disciples all fell on the three.

Of course, Mu Qingge, who had just walked out of the Spiritual Consciousness Tower, was the one being scrutinized the most.

Previously, everyone hadn’t completely recovered from the shock of her breaking the record when Jing Tian appeared, forcing them to temporarily set aside their amazement and the feeling of their wallets being emptied.

And now, many suddenly remembered, this guy from the branch before them was the one who broke Senior Brother Jing Tian’s record!

Therefore, upon looking at the two again, a thought rose in everyone’s mind—

There’s going to be a good show!

"Why should I salute?" Mu Qingge stated calmly. Her eyes, clear and vast enough to contain the whole world, were calm and devoid of any ripples.

"Indeed, is there any rule in the Medicine Tower that requires disciples to salute when meeting each other?" Zhao Nanxing followed up.

"You!" The first lackey was left speechless by their words, only able to show his anger on his face.

Meanwhile, Jing Tian’s eyes turned a few degrees colder due to Mu Qingge and Zhao Nanxing’s words, with a hint of chill in his arrogant demeanor.

The second lackey, sensing Jing Tian’s anger, quickly stood up and said righteously, "It’s naturally irrelevant for others, but seeing Senior Brother Jing Tian requires saluting!"

"Why?" Mu Qingge’s gaze swept over, questioning again.

The curiosity in her eyes seemed to ask ’What makes Jing Tian different? Why should he be treated specially?’

The second lackey immediately became smug, saying triumphantly, "Why? Our Senior Brother Jing Tian is about to be promoted to a Medicine Tower Elder, what do you say to that?"

But Mu Qingge’s reaction was merely a light "Oh."

Such indifference made both lackeys furious, and they rolled up their sleeves on the spot. Jing Tian also coldly snorted.

Instantly, outside the Spiritual Consciousness Tower, before the Obsidian Stele, the atmosphere was tense.

"Oh? Is that all your reaction?" The first lackey was not satisfied.

Mu Qingge’s gaze shifted lightly and fell on him, the clear and slightly cool look immediately quelling his anger, making him feel as if he was plunged into an icy spring.

Zhao Nanxing laughed, "You already said ’about to be promoted,’ but yet to be promoted means still a disciple, why special? When this senior brother is promoted, we will naturally perform the rite of greeting the Elder when we meet again."

Zhao Nanxing’s words brought a layer of amusement to Mu Qingge’s clear eyes.

"You ungrateful country bumpkins!" The second lackey was furious. It seemed as if he was about to step forward to teach them a lesson.

Zhu Ling leaned in close to Mu Qingge, whispering by her ear, "How come this guy conveniently appeared here?"

’Convenient?’

The smile playing on Mu Qingge’s lips took on a hint of playfulness.

She had inadvertently caused such a big stir at the Spiritual Consciousness Tower; with so many informers around Jing Tian, how could he not know?

His appearance here now was probably because of her, right?

It’s just unclear how this person would steer the topic to her.

"Who are you calling a country bumpkin?" Zhao Nanxing said with a slightly serious tone.

The second lackey spoke without thinking, "I’m calling you a country bumpkin!"

As soon as he said that, concealed laughter sounded all around. Zhao Nanxing also wore a gentle yet infuriating smile. These made him realize and angrily retort to Zhao Nanxing, "You brat, you’re playing tricks on me!"

"Shut up! Isn’t your disgraceful display enough?" The repressed laughter around made Jing Tian feel humiliated. An annoyance akin to having useless teammates rose in his heart.

Being rebuked, the second lackey immediately stifled his anger, standing respectfully behind Jing Tian, though his eyes glared at Zhao Nanxing with anger.

If looks could kill, Zhao Nanxing might have been flayed by now. Unfortunately, looks could not kill. So what’s the harm in being stared at a few times?

Zhao Nanxing met his angry gaze without discomfort, instead nodding gently with courtesy.

This casual response nearly made the second lackey cough up blood in frustration!

Successfully stopping what seemed like a meaningless quarrel to Jing Tian, the disappearance of laughter around made him feel slightly satisfied. He didn’t continue entangling with Mu Qingge’s group, as if they didn’t exist.

With a dismissive attitude he said, "Zhe Xiu, I heard you started a betting pool?"

The named person, standing before Zhao Nanxing, immediately replied to Jing Tian with a grim face, "To answer Senior Brother Jing Tian, indeed I did, but it’s already concluded."

"Oh? That means there’s a result?" Jing Tian arrogantly raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting to the Obsidian Stele.

However, Mu Qingge had already come out. The Obsidian Stele was empty, which made Jing Tian frown, seemingly surprised by this outcome.

He had come as soon as he received the news. Even if the examination in the Spiritual Consciousness Tower had ended, those who over-exhausted their Spiritual Sense would stay in the tower to recover, why weren’t they visible?

Jing Tian couldn’t comprehend, so he glanced again at the disciples around him.

He seemed to seek a satisfactory answer from them.

But everyone who met his eyes bowed their heads without exception, backing away to avoid his questioning.

This reaction only made Jing Tian more puzzled.

Their dodging appearance kindled slight anger in Jing Tian’s heart. He said to Zhe Xiu, "Since you started the betting pool, you tell me the result."

This made many people secretly breathe a sigh of relief, though internally left Zhe Xiu wailing!

What sins had he committed, thinking he’d make a fortune by opening a betting pool, only to lose everything and not even have underwear left, and now to endure Jing Tian’s impending wrath!

Jing Tian’s nature was known to anyone who had stayed in the Main Courtyard for some time.

With extraordinary talent, he had long been used to a feeling of being unrivaled, how could he tolerate someone standing on equal footing with him? Or even surpassing him?

Even if Zhe Xiu wasn’t personally involved, speaking of it might still incur Jing Tian’s displeasure.

This was why everyone was avoiding, hiding, and reluctant to speak.

But he had been named by Jing Tian.

Not speaking would also not excuse him from Jing Tian’s wrath!

After a moment of inner struggle, Zhe Xiu finally stammered, bracing himself: "P... passed..."

A mere two words, yet they nearly consumed all of Zhe Xiu’s spiritual power.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief at his answer, Jing Tian’s voice rang out once more: "Passed? Passed what?"

Zhe Xiu’s heart skipped a beat, and he sneakily glanced at Jing Tian, noticing his eyes had narrowed. A dangerous aura quietly wrapped around his neck.

Zhe Xiu instinctively raised a hand to touch his neck, his gaze tightening, and cautiously answered again: "J... just passed... passed... all... all the scales..."

As soon as Zhe Xiu finished speaking, it was as if a cold wind swept across the square outside the Obsidian Stele. The source of the cold wind was Jing Tian, standing in the center.

"Passed all the scales? How is that possible, are you seeing things!" Lackey Number Two immediately refuted.

That look of disbelief quickly gained the support of Lackey Number One!

Zhe Xiu’s heart was full of bitterness.

He too hoped he was mistaken, but...

"How exactly?" Jing Tian’s voice turned icy.

Zhe Xiu was stunned and hurriedly said: "J... just passed all the scales. Not only I saw it, everyone here saw it!" He gestured with his hand, dragging everyone down with him.

The expressions of those around suddenly became awkward.

’Did someone really clear it? Walked through the entire Spiritual Consciousness Tower and broke Jing Tian’s record.’

Lackey Number One and Two both looked at Jing Tian simultaneously.

Yet, Jing Tian’s face remained stern, leaving people unable to discern what he was thinking.

At this moment, someone in the crowd pointed to Mu Qingge and shouted: "Senior Brother Jing, it’s him! It’s that kid in red!"

After speaking, he quickly withdrew his hand and hid in the crowd.

Lackey Number One and Two were slightly shocked, swiftly looking at Mu Qingge. The latter remained calm and indifferent, as if the words were not about her.

Jing Tian’s gloomy gaze slowly fell on Mu Qingge, and he said in a deep voice: "You again?"

The three words carried a lot of meaning.

However, among those present, few could understand.

They could only judge from this sentence that there seemed to be a grudge between Jing Tian and Mu Qingge before this.

However, Mu Qingge understood the meaning in Jing Tian’s words.

This ’you again’ referred to her alchemy skill and spiritual sense strength.

Mu Qingge becoming a Spirit Level Alchemist seemed to have touched Jing Tian’s nerves, which was why he initially wanted to show the branch’s disciples a demonstration. Unfortunately, Xia Tianwu stopped him, and his plan failed.

However, before he could provoke again, Mu Qingge created such a sensational event at the Main Courtyard. Walking through all the scales of the Spiritual Consciousness Tower! This had never occurred since the Medicine Tower’s establishment, yet she did it.

Jing Tian could predict that it wouldn’t take long for this matter to reach all the Elders’ ears.

Such a disciple, stronger than him, would quickly become the focal point, perhaps... gradually replace him...

And such a result was something Jing Tian could not accept no matter what!

However, Mu Qingge understood his meaning, but it did not mean she had to respond. She didn’t even look at Jing Tian, turning to Zhao Nanxing, "Can we go now?"

Zhao Nanxing smiled at her, turned his gaze to Zhe Xiu, and swung the betting slip in his hand: "Are you thinking of reneging on the bet?"

Zhe Xiu’s face turned unpleasant, both angry and annoyed, yet he still firmly replied: "Rest assured, give me three days to prepare. After three days, I’ll settle the wager with you."

This answer left Zhao Nanxing reasonably satisfied.

He pocketed the bet slip and returned to Mu Qingge’s side.

The three of them regrouped, intending to leave.

"Stop!" Jing Tian shouted coldly, preventing them from leaving.

Lackey Number One and Two instantly caught on, rushing in front of the trio to block their way.

Facing the road-blocking lackeys, Mu Qingge’s demeanor remained calm. She slowly turned and locked eyes with Jing Tian, seemingly trying to understand what he wanted.

Mu Qingge looked at Jing Tian calmly, as if saying ’What do you want?’

Her tranquility contrasted with Jing Tian’s arrogance.

Jing Tian stared at her, the anger in his eyes gradually transforming into hatred, as if Mu Qingge were the murderer who annihilated his entire family.

This jealousy, born of narrow-mindedness and envy, was something Mu Qingge struggled to understand. She frowned slightly at Jing Tian’s open display of emotion, seemingly a little displeased.

"Hey, you called us to stop but didn’t speak, what do you want to do?" This question was not fitting for Mu Qingge to ask. So, Zhu Ling asked for her.

In reality, for Zhu Ling, who wanted to stay in the Main Courtyard, she shouldn’t have asked.

But she asked anyway, with no intention of staying uninvolved.

This made Mu Qingge glance at her.

Jing Tian’s eyes narrowed dangerously, looking at Zhu Ling: "Who do you think you are to talk to me?"

"Ha, I just arrived at the Main Courtyard today, and I truly don’t know what you are," Zhu Ling retorted, unwilling to show weakness.

"What did you say, you brat!" Lackey Number One was displeased, almost rushing over to teach Zhu Ling a lesson.

Mu Qingge raised her hand, blocking in front of Zhu Ling and shielding her behind herself.

This action made Jing Tian sneer: "Can’t see she’s quite the sentimental type." His words had underlying implications, seemingly insinuating something.

Perhaps, Mu Qingge’s earlier gesture reminded him of how Shang Zisu instinctively hid behind her, making him bear a grudge and retaliate with words.

For Jing Tian’s ’evaluation’, Mu Qingge had no need to respond.

She said blandly: "If you have something to say, say it."

This attitude seemed even more haughty than his!

Jing Tian’s expression instantly became unpleasant, looking at her with extreme gloom.

The main courtyard disciples watching around had all seen the tension between the two. However, they couldn’t figure out who Mu Qingge was, worth Jing Tian’s anger.

Suddenly, the anger on Jing Tian’s face disappeared, and he looked at Mu Qingge with a confident smile: "Do you dare to have a Dan Fighting with me!"

"Dan Fighting!"

"Senior Brother Jing actually wants to challenge him? No way!"

"Senior Brother Jing is a Spirit Level Alchemist, although this branch disciple’s spiritual sense strength is amazing, what about alchemy skills?"

"Seeing how young he is, how could he possibly be a match for Senior Brother Jing?"

With Jing Tian’s words, the crowd around them became even more excited than Mu Qingge, discussing fervently.

Of course, the discussions leaned towards skepticism about Mu Qingge.

But some dared to speak out—

"But isn’t it unfair to challenge this junior from the branch when Senior Brother Jing is already a Spirit Level Alchemist?" However, these words were spoken too timidly, too anxiously, as if afraid of angering Jing Tian, yet unable to hold back.

However, these words still floated into Jing Tian’s ears with the wind.

He seethed inwardly, wanting to find out who spoke.

However, there were hundreds of spectators, how could he find them out?

The implication of these words seemed to suggest he was taking advantage, something his pride couldn’t accept.

He snorted and said to the crowd: "This junior from the branch is a bona fide Spirit Level Alchemist. A duel between Spirit Level Alchemists, how is it unfair?"

"What! A Spirit Level Alchemist, no less!"

"Heavens! A Spirit Level Alchemist so young, how are the rest of us going to cope?"

"No way! Spiritual sense strength so monstrous and alchemy skills so formidable, is he even human?"

"So among us disciples, there’s now a second Spirit Level Alchemist?"
