The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

Chapter 880 - 980: Gathering Information

Ye Tianfan didn't know that after he had removed the altar, the temperature of the lava below cooled even faster, dropping ten degrees a day instead of just one.This means that the lava which used to last for about seventy-seven years, could now only last for about seven years, a tenfold decrease!

After dismantling the altar, Ye Tianfan returned to the front of the cave, where he could still use his Divine Sense at first.

Ye Tianfan looked at the sky outside, it was still dark, so he didn't plan to go out now. After all, many Demon Beasts had nocturnal habits and would appear at night. If Ye Tianfan went out now, the journey would be very long, as he would encounter a Demon Beast every two steps.

Most importantly, there are those pesky insect Demon Beasts with very small bodies. If they are very powerful, they're quite a hassle!

Because of their small size, it's very difficult to attack them. They dodge easily, and nighttime is when these insect Demon Beasts emerge, so Ye Tianfan didn't want to face them now. Although he didn't fear those Demon Beasts, they were still a bit troublesome!

Ye Tianfan sat cross-legged, preparing to refine a batch of pills here. After all, a whole night was enough time to practice a batch!

By the time Ye Tianfan was ready to set off, it was already the next morning.

Ye Tianfan looked contently at the rather perfect batch of pills, then flew out of the cave and continued on his journey!

While traveling, Ye Tianfan suddenly saw below a town emitting a pervasive sense of evil energy!

It seemed there were Demon Beasts causing trouble in the town.

Not in a hurry to return, Ye Tianfan decided to eliminate the Demon Beasts in the town below before leaving, since vanquishing demons and devils is a fundamental duty of those on the righteous path!

Ye Tianfan flew downwards but did not immediately land in the town, because if he directly flew down and told everyone that there were Demon Beasts causing trouble, their first reaction would probably be disbelief. So Ye Tianfan decided to first gather some information in town before making further plans!

Ye Tianfan landed and took out a paper fan from his Xuanhuang Tower, started fanning himself, and slowly walked towards the town, wholly presenting himself as a nobleman on a leisurely trip!

"Stop!"

Ye Tianfan was stopped by a Gatekeeper as soon as he reached the city gate. After stopping, he discovered that whether entering or leaving the city, one needed to be questioned by these Gatekeepers. If one's responses were unsatisfactory, they would be detained!

Ye Tianfan looked rather arrogantly at the Gatekeeper and said, "Why are you stopping me!"

Since Ye Tianfan is playing the role of a carefree young noble, he naturally assumes the persona of someone with a higher status, thus looking a bit arrogantly at the Gatekeeper!

Seeing Ye Tianfan's arrogance, the Gatekeeper was momentarily stunned, uncertain if this person had some special status. Moreover, his attire didn't seem poor.

Being simply a Gatekeeper, accidentally offending a noble could result in severe punishment.

The Gatekeeper quickly plastered a smile and said to Ye Tianfan, "Esteemed gentleman, it's like this. Due to recent events, the town is on high alert. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please don't blame us; we're just following orders!"

Ye Tianfan glanced at the Gatekeeper and said, "Alright, I'm not the kind of person to hold a grudge against you lower-rank people. What do you want?"

"Thank you for your understanding, sir!" The Gatekeeper bowed deeply to Ye Tianfan, saying, "We need to record where you came from, where you're going, and your purpose in our Sand City!"

"Hmph!" Ye Tianfan sneered, "I come from Mafa City; where I'm going is not your concern. As for why I'm in your little Sand City, I'm just resting on my journey. Why else would I be here? There's nothing in this small Sand City to attract me!"

Mafa City, as mentioned by Ye Tianfan, refers to the Imperial City, the center of thousands of cities and towns, inhabited entirely by nobles. This made Ye Tianfan appear even more aristocratic!

The City Guard's heart skipped a beat. Indeed, the person before him was a noble. Lucky he didn't offend him just now; otherwise, he might not survive!

Thinking of this, the Gatekeeper's face blossomed with a fawning smile, saying, "The destination of an esteemed gentleman is beyond our scope. Naturally, if the gentleman wants to rest in Sand City, it is our honor!"

The Gatekeeper grinned, but secretly noted Ye Tianfan's words. After all, it was required by his superiors, though he didn't understand why they wanted such records. Orders were orders.

Seeing it was about time, Ye Tianfan feigned curiosity, saying, "I've rested in not ten, but at least eight towns along the way, and none asked such questions. What's going on here?"

"You may not be aware, sir," the Gatekeeper started to chatter as soon as Ye Tianfan asked, eager to please him after upsetting him earlier.

"Recently, a Demon Beast came and destroyed our crops. Then came a person who claimed to be an Immortal, professing to vanquish demons and devils. Our City Lord treated this Immortal as an honored guest, fulfilling his every need. Sir, can you guess what happened next?" the Gatekeeper left a cliffhanger!

"Hurry up, don't leave me hanging!" Ye Tianfan urged.

Looking around mysteriously, the Gatekeeper said!
