Afterward, Wu Tian and Bai Ruoqi returned to the office together.
The two sat on the sofa, and Wu Tian teased Bai Ruoqi, "What's going on with you?"
"I've only been gone for a little over a month, and you've already encountered this kind of trouble?"
"It's a good thing I'm back this time. If I hadn't returned, and that guy had been given more time, wouldn't even I have been deceived?"
Bai Ruoqi pouted and said, "What could I do? Do you think everyone is a spiritual cultivator like you?"
"I'm just an ordinary person. If a spiritual cultivator wanted to deal with me, with my abilities, how could I possibly resist?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "You can rest assured this time."
"As long as your brother is confirmed to have AIDS, he probably won't have the mind to bother you for quite some time."
"However, for safety's sake..."
As he spoke, Wu Tian suddenly stood up and walked in front of Bai Ruoqi.
Enveloped by Wu Tian's presence, Bai Ruoqi felt a sense of bewilderment and involuntarily became nervous.
She flashed a hint of fear and said with a slight twitch of her lips, "What... what do you want to do?"
Wu Tian said, "To prevent you from being attacked by other spiritual cultivators in the future, I must set up a defense for you."
Wu Tian pulled Bai Ruoqi up, and then his face slowly moved closer to hers.
Bai Ruoqi was so scared she felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand steadily.
She wondered what Wu Tian was trying to do.
Could it be that he was going to kiss her?
Even though she wouldn't mind him doing such a thing, she wasn't ready yet!
Just as Bai Ruoqi's mind was racing with wild thoughts, Wu Tian gently touched his forehead to hers.
Her delicate body trembled instantly, and then she felt a warm current quickly spread throughout her entire body.
Then Wu Tian moved away from Bai Ruoqi and said, "I just injected spiritual energy into your body. From now on, spiritual cultivators below level seven generally won't be able to harm you."
Bai Ruoqi's thoughts hadn't caught up yet, and the blush on her face lingered for a long time.
Wu Tian asked curiously, "What's wrong? Why aren't you speaking?"
Bai Ruoqi suddenly snapped back to reality and said indignantly, "You, you were too sudden!"
"Who knew what you were doing just now? You scared me, you know."
Wu Tian chuckled and said, "What's wrong? The dignified eldest daughter of the Bai family can't even handle this much?"
Bai Ruoqi knew Wu Tian was joking with her, so she snorted again and sat back on the sofa.
At this moment, she did indeed feel that something ethereal had appeared in her body.
That thing was protecting her body and also made her feel comfortable.
She recalled what Wu Tian had just said and couldn't help but be surprised.
She exclaimed in astonishment, "Wait, Wu Tian, what did you just say?"
"Spiritual cultivators below level seven can't harm me? No way?"
"If you can do something like that, then how high must your level be?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's nothing, just reached level nine."
"What! Level nine?" Hearing this, Bai Ruoqi was so shocked that she stood up from the sofa.
She found it hard to believe Wu Tian's words. How could this be? How long had it been, and Wu Tian had actually become a level nine spiritual cultivator?
Such a thing, no matter how you looked at it, seemed too incredible.
Wu Tian waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, don't overreact. It's just that some things happened."
"In short, the trials of the Five Sects and Six Schools are no longer related to me. This trip out has been a great fortune."
Bai Ruoqi still hadn't fully recovered.
It wasn't until she had a cup of tea that her emotions finally calmed down.
She said in disbelief, "This is truly astonishing!"
"Since you've reached level nine spiritual cultivator, it means you're already at the peak of spiritual cultivators!"
"Does this mean you can go to the Divine Doctor Sect now?"
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. With my current strength, going to the Divine Doctor Sect would be seeking death."
"Level nine spiritual cultivator is not the peak. For a place like the Divine Doctor Sect, it's just the beginning."
"Therefore, the path I have to walk is still very long."
Wu Tian's words once again made Bai Ruoqi feel suffocated.
In her understanding, the highest level for a spiritual cultivator was nine.
But according to Wu Tian, there were even higher levels beyond level nine?
Oh heavens, level nine was already so powerful! Then how powerful would it be to reach beyond level nine!
Seeing that Bai Ruoqi was speechless, Wu Tian chuckled again, "Oh dear, why are you so surprised?"
"All you need to know now is that under the protection of my spiritual energy, you won't be in danger anymore."
"By the way, you are from the Bai family. Your connections and intelligence are better than mine. So I want to ask you, have you ever heard of an immortal root?"
"Immortal root?" Hearing this, Bai Ruoqi was stunned.
She shook her head and asked doubtfully, "No, what is that?"
Wu Tian didn't intend to tell Bai Ruoqi about the immortal realm. He said, "This is something extremely important to me."
"If you hear any news about an immortal root in the future, you must tell me immediately."
"Even at all costs, I must obtain the immortal root."
Seeing Wu Tian so serious, Bai Ruoqi knew in her heart that this so-called immortal root must be something extraordinary.
So she nodded and said, "I understand. I'll mobilize my intelligence network and see if there's any news about immortal roots."
"If I find one later, I will do everything I can to help you get it back."
Wu Tian didn't stand on ceremony with Bai Ruoqi. He nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you to pay close attention to this matter."
After that, the two stopped discussing this topic and chatted about some more relaxed subjects.
After chatting for a while, Wu Tian drove back to Peach Blossom Village.
For the next period, Wu Tian had nothing much to do, so he wandered around here and there, living a rather comfortable life.
But on the evening of the third day, as he was lying in bed reading a novel, Wang Shenshou suddenly called him.
He answered the phone, and Wang Shenshou immediately said, "Master, where are you enjoying yourself? I have something very important to discuss with you."
Wu Tian said, "I'm at home, what's wrong?"
Wang Shenshou said happily, "You're at home? That's great."
"Come to our hospital tomorrow. I want to talk to you about the Asian Traditional Chinese Medicine Exchange Competition..."
