Urban Super Medical Sage

Chapter 2182 - 227

Tianheng Holy Realm, Tianheng City.

The entire Tianheng City is vast, stretching thousands of meters vertically and horizontally. Within the city, there are Spirit Pools, Mystic Pavilions, Martial Mountains, fighting arenas, Martial Training Fields, Cultivation Altars, and various other venues.

The busiest areas in Tianheng City are the East and West Streets.

East Street is densely packed with buildings, Cloud Ladders hanging in the air, and shops layered like fish scales. East Street has a total of 390,000 shops, mostly selling food, drinks, entertainment, accommodation, leisure, and so on...

In contrast, West Street is more luxurious. East Street is also called Goddess Street, where houses are exquisite like works of art, Spirit Rivers flow freely, and colorful Crystal Lamps are everywhere. East Street is mostly for selling women’s products, such as clothing shops, jewelry shops, cosmetic shops, etc.

Because the daughter of the Tianheng Holy Realm’s Territory Master is organizing a matchmaking event, the normally bustling Tianheng City has become astonishingly lively; both East and West Streets have completely transformed into a Sleepless City.

The martial cultivators coming and going are densely packed, mostly young people and predominantly men. Some hold Longswords, standing tall and impressive; some appear ordinary but possess strong strength and wear confident smiles; others are proud and cool, accompanied by sword-wielding maids and guards.

However, no matter who they are, everyone behaves honestly. Even though the streets have accommodated up to three billion cultivators over the past couple of days, there are virtually no private fights or conflicts visible outside designated venues like fighting arenas.

It’s not that these young martial cultivators have changed their nature, but rather they dare not.

The order in Tianheng City is maintained exceedingly well.

This order is upheld by the Tianheng Guard.

These Tianheng Guards are extremely powerful, and they only take orders from the Territory Master Shee Tianshi. They are quite impartial. If anyone dares to fight privately and gets caught, they might end up confined in Tianheng City’s Water Prison, and it’s uncertain when they might be released.

Of course, there are no absolutes.

Ninety-nine percent of the martial cultivators dare not fight privately and must obey Tianheng City’s rules. However, there is always that one percent or even fewer cultivators who have no fear of Tianheng City’s rules, or even Shee Tianshi. These are naturally those top-level Monsters or those with sufficient backgrounds.

East Street.

Listening River Building.

Compared to the bustling noise elsewhere on East Street, Listening River Building is quite the exception, being very quiet.

Listening River Building is a teahouse.

This teahouse has a very, very, very long history and is one of the oldest shops on East Street.

The third floor of Listening River Building.

At this moment, on the listening platform on the third floor, a beautifully dressed, graceful woman is singing. As she sings, she plays the Spirit Zither in her hands.

The woman’s voice is very pleasing, her gentle singing possessing a mesmerizing quality that calms the mind and soothes the soul.

Beneath the listening platform, there are nine tables.

Of those, only four tables are currently occupied.

This is mainly because the consumption at Listening River Pavilion is exceedingly high.

Unless one’s financial resources are extraordinary, they simply cannot afford it.

Among the four occupied tables, the table near the window is seated with two young individuals.

Clearly women, but dressed as men.

Especially the woman dressed in exquisite purple attire; her ears were delicate, she possessed beautiful and refined features, her skin pale like that of a baby. Any discerning person could tell at a glance that she was a woman, yet she feigned holding a Gentleman’s Fan in her hand, drinking tea while enjoying the singing of the woman on the listening platform.

Beside the woman in purple attire is another petite woman in white clothing, who seems a bit anxious.

Suddenly.

The petite woman in white clothing spoke, "Miss, you sneaked out. If the Territory Master finds out, you’ll definitely be reprimanded."

This petite woman in white clothing is named Little Pear.

And the woman in purple attire is named Shee Mi, the only daughter of Shee Tianshi, the Territory Master’s daughter, known as the Tianheng Holy Maiden.

Little Pear is Shee Mi’s Maid.

The matchmaking day is approaching, and Shee Mi’s duty was to remain in her boudoir, quietly awaiting the matchmaking conference.

But Shee Mi has a rebellious nature.

She simply cannot sit still.

Moreover, she loves shopping very much.

These past two days, with such bustling activity on both East and West Streets, how could she not join in the excitement?

Besides, she wanted to know how many young talents were coming to participate in the matchmaking conference.

Shee Mi, in fact, doesn’t oppose the matchmaking conference because her childhood dream was to marry an extremely powerful Monster. Her man must be a champion who suppresses everything and pushes through the Eternal Ages.

And the matchmaking conference is a contest of strength, talent, and so on, which is just right for her.

Why did Shee Mi sneak out and choose to listen to music at Listening River Pavilion?

The reason is simple; anyone she encounters in Listening River Pavilion will definitely be a genius, a Monster, a strong contender, far superior to the mobs squeezed along the streets. The frightening expense at Listening River Pavilion can only be borne by those geniuses, Monsters, and strong contenders.

Just like the other three tables in the third-floor hall at the moment.

One table is occupied by a single man, ordinary-looking yet exceptionally imposing, with a Heavy Sword on the table. Even though the sword hasn’t left its scabbard, it conveys a sense of pressure and suffocation. This individual is at the Peak of the Eighth Layer of the Divine Lord Realm. Having gathered information through Tianheng Holy Realm, Shee Mi understands the cultivators on the Ascension List; this man is named Sui Jiu, ranked seventy-third on the Ascension List, and considered a top-level genius.

Another table is occupied by a man in luxurious blue attire, accompanied by two beautiful maids beside him, with guards behind him, making quite a display. This man is named Wu Gong, ranked sixtieth in the Four Clouds Sector on the Ascension List, also at the Peak of the Eighth Layer of the Divine Lord Realm.

The other table is occupied by a man in red robes, appearing noble and handsome. This person is named Zheng Qi, at the Early Stage of the Ninth Level of the Divine Lord Realm, ranked thirty-ninth on the Ascension List.

All three are quite impressive, especially Zheng Qi. Yet Shee Mi’s standards are exceedingly high, naturally dismissing all three.

Her man must at least be among the top five, or even better ranked on the Ascension List, right?

"Let’s wait and see if anyone else comes to listen to music and drink tea. If not, we’ll head back," Shee Mi whispers.

"But..." Little Pear begins to say something.

Suddenly.

"It’s quite a nice environment." A soft voice is heard.

At the same time, a new person appears on the third floor.

A man in a white robe.

His arrival momentarily pauses the singing woman on the listening platform.

Both Sui Jiu and Wu Gong jump up involuntarily, a harsh change evident in the faces of Sui Jiu, Wu Gong, and Zheng Qi.

"Fourth on the Ascension List, Lin Fu." Shee Mi whispers, her beautiful watery eyes finally sparkling with interest as she raises her eyes and examines Lin Fu, curious and appraising.
