The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Yan Xiaobao was exceedingly quick. Ten minutes later, a fresh-looking young man stepped out of the bathroom. Glancing at Cai Jie, who had his eyes closed, he chuckled softly, then turned his attention to Gao Yan. "I'm sorry to trouble you to find all of this for me," he said, looking at the older man with gratitude. "I truly appreciate it. Without your help, I wouldn't know where to begin searching for this information."

Hearing this, Gao Yan couldn't help but laugh. He had been working tirelessly to meet the deadline he set for himself, and he felt a sense of satisfaction that Yan Xiaobao recognized the effort he'd put in. However, he still felt the information he had was inadequate, as he knew absolutely nothing about An Hee, a name that seemed to be nonexistent.

"To be honest, the black lion is usually a place where an ordinary person can obtain gossip or information when working for merchants, nobles, or even the Royal Family. We rarely send people to actively gather information for us, but this time, I've dispatched someone I trust to investigate the matter. I trust they'll return with some details about this An Hee. If they fail to uncover anything, then it truly means there's nothing about him to be found in this city at all," Gao Yan said deeply, frowning as though admitting this felt like acknowledging defeat. The thought of not being able to find information in the city he resided in was something Gao Yan could not reconcile with. Clearing his throat, Gao Yan reached out and handed the last Memory Stone to Yan Xiaobao.

"This contains what we know about the Frozen General. The information is very vague since he's never personally appeared in this city, but we've heard tales of his actions across various cities. Additionally, it also contains why the tales of the 'Frozen Corps' have instilled fear for hundreds of years. As for how old the Frozen General might be, no one truly knows." "I understand," Yan Xiaobao replied, slipping the Memory Stone into his hand and gently rubbing its surface with his thumb. The Frozen General was indeed a figure who filled Yan Xiaobao with dread. Zhong Hui appeared to act like a friend in moments of divine splendor, but Xie Lan's death was undoubtedly Zhong Hui's doing. Yan Xiaobao found Zhong Hui to be an overwhelming presence, and all he truly knew about him was his outward appearance. The time he and his friends spent with Zhong Hui in the underground city had been brief, and sadly, aside from his name, they had gleaned almost no other information about him. Despite his seemingly easygoing demeanor, Yan Xiaobao knew Zhong Hui was someone of immense influence.

"Thank you for going to such trouble," Yan Xiaobao said gratefully as he sat in another chair, holding the Memory Stone. Looking at Cai Jie, it was easy to see he was still completely engrossed in the information he'd obtained regarding the Crusaders. Yan Xiaobao couldn't help but smile goofily as he watched the focused young man.

"I'll be fine in time," Gao Yan said. "I'm still looking for information on An Hee. It's proving to be much harder than I imagined." His brows furrowed again momentarily, but the expression quickly vanished. "Can you tell me anything about him?" Gao Yan asked. Yan Xiaobao pondered for a while. What did he truly know about An Hee? "He's at least as powerful as the Frozen General. Zhong Hui has the Frozen Corps, and An Hee has the Crusaders," he answered. Gao Yan's eyes widened, his mouth agape. "I suspected he was connected to the Crusaders, but to be their leader? And no one knew this? That's astonishing," he murmured quietly. Upon hearing this revelation, Gao Yan was clearly swept up in a flood of thoughts, murmuring to himself as he bit his lip. A few minutes later, after deep contemplation, Gao Yan broke into a slight smile. He turned to Yan Xiaobao once more, saying, "I'll do everything I can to find information about An Hee." He smiled and nodded in reassurance before excusing himself. The two cultivators parted ways. Gao Yan then hurried off to the black lion, convinced he could obtain more information about An Hee from the Tang twins.
