Urban Super Medical Saint

Ge Dongxu opened the stone that was blocking the cave entrance and suddenly found that it was halfway up a small mountain, about a hundred meters tall, located in the valley.

Although the mountain was not very high, especially compared to the towering mountains surrounding the valley on three sides, which made it seem insignificant in comparison, the treasure cave was set in the three-sided cliff, and despite the short height of tens of meters, climbing up there was no easy task.

The treasure was hidden inside, and with the stone blocking it, plus the exterior covered in green ivy and grass, even if people clearly knew that the treasure was hidden in this valley, it would still be incredibly difficult to locate the exact spot.

After identifying the location of the treasure, Ge Dongxu retreated back to the passage of the Sky Pit.

After retreating to the passage of the Sky Pit, Ge Dongxu re-blocked the stone wall he had "excavated" with his sword.

Having retreated to the Sky Pit, Ge Dongxu then started to catch poisonous snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and other creatures, putting each one into a hemp sack and then sealing them with runes.

The space below the Sky Pit was vast, almost like a world isolated from the outside, with many venomous beings like snakes and scorpions living there.

However, Ge Dongxu did not exterminate them all, he only caught a small portion. Even so, he filled three hemp sacks.

As for the others, Ge Dongxu did not wish to disturb them for the time being, leaving them to live in the Underground World until he needed to capture more. However, since he had taken the Five Elements Qiankun Stone, the spiritual energy of this Underground World would eventually become the same as the outside world over time. The creatures that would breed in the future would probably not be much different from those in the outside world, and each time he came back to capture venomous creatures, there would be fewer useful ones.

After sending the hemp sacks filled with venomous creatures up to the surface, Ge Dongxu also pulled up the giant snake that was roughly as thick as a bucket and about thirty meters long.

At first, when Ge Dongxu was transporting the hemp sacks filled with venomous creatures to the surface, the soldiers guarding outside did not feel much, only curious about what was inside.

But since Ge Dongxu had placed Sealing Runes on the sacks and instructed them not to open them, they were just curious and none dared to open them for a look, and so they could not know what was inside.

However, Ge Dongxu had no way to fit the thirty-meter long snake into a sack, so he had to pull it directly up to the surface.

When this colossal creature was pulled up, even though these soldiers were battle-hardened and tested by life and death, they were so frightened that almost fell to the ground, sitting down with a thud.

Once the soldiers finally came to their senses, they began to kneel down to Ge Dongxu one after another, bowing and worshipping him repeatedly.

It turned out that in the culturally backward jungle, most people lacked education, with a large number still believing in the existence of gods and ghosts.

These soldiers were mostly from poor households and had little education, so naturally, they were no different.

Having seen Ge Dongxu first descend directly to the bottom of the Sky Pit and now pull up such an enormous creature, which he clearly had killed, they all treated him as if an Immortal had descended to earth.

Watching these soldiers kneel and kowtow to him, their eyes filled with awe and admiration, Ge Dongxu could not help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration, though he was too lazy to explain. Besides, the soldiers' preconceived belief made it easier for him to carry out his subsequent actions.

Because there was still a great deal of treasures that needed to be moved from there, and because many precious creatures remained in the depths of the Sky Pit, and also because it was the place where Ge Hong had passed away, Ge Dongxu could not be sure if there were any hidden secrets or profound meanings behind Ge Hong's feathery ascent from here. Hence, whether it was for the precious creatures in the Sky Pit or the significance of it being Ge Hong's place of passing, this Sky Pit had already been designated by Ge Dongxu as a critical location for the Pill Talisman Sect, necessitating a year-round guard to prevent prying eyes.

The soldiers revered him like a god, and at his command, as though by divine edict, they would surely remain steadfast until death, which was much more effective than if he had issued orders through Gan Lei.

"This journey has chosen you all, and that is the fate between us. Eat this snake meat that I've divided among you. It will strengthen your power and enhance your physique, better preparing you to assist me in my tasks." Ge Dongxu's gaze swept over everyone before he channeled a Sword technique, sliced a large piece of meat from the giant snake, and then summoned flames with a spell, roasting the large slice of meat in midair.

Upon seeing this, the crowd once again kowtowed in succession, then, filled with excitement and anticipation, they devoured their shares of the snake meat.

This was no ordinary snake; its flesh was rich with pure energy. Although a large piece of snake meat was shared among fifty soldiers, with each man receiving only a piece as big as a fist, the moment the meat entered their bodies, everyone felt as if there was a fire burning in their bellies, and their bodies surged with strength.

"Thank you, Master Ge, for your generous gift!" Feeling the transformation inside their bodies, the soldiers looked at Ge Dongxu with eyes filled with even more reverence, admiration, and gratitude.

Ge Dongxu desired precisely such an effect. With a grand gesture, he rallied everyone and then left ten men to continue guarding the mouth of the Sky Pit, taking the others to the location of the treasure on the small hilltop.

He instructed the forty remaining soldiers to wait below while Ge Dongxu himself took flight directly toward the middle of the mountain.

Seeing Ge Dongxu soaring like an Immortal, they couldn't help but bow once more toward him in the air.

Ge Dongxu entered the mountain cave at mid-mountain and began moving down Treasure Chest after Treasure Chest.

There were over a hundred Treasure Chests, nearly every one of them half a ton in weight. Despite Ge Dongxu's advanced Cultivation, the repeated trips flying up and down were slightly exhausting.

As for the soldiers, they initially saw Ge Dongxu easily carrying the Treasure Chests down with ease and tried to lift one themselves.

Almost falling, they nearly sat down on the ground with the attempt.

Only then did they realize that, although the Treasure Chests didn't look very large and Ge Dongxu lifted them with ease, their actual weight was extraordinarily terrifying.

With such a series of shocks and awe, Ge Dongxu no longer worried that the soldiers might secretly open the Treasure Chests to take the gold and jewels inside. After giving instructions, he told them to slowly figure out how to get the Treasure Chests back to the military camp. He then returned to the mouth of the Sky Pit, taking with him the three sacks of snake and scorpion creatures and the giant snake ahead of the rest back to the military camp.

Naturally, dragging such a colossal creature caused quite the commotion.

Not to mention Gan Lei and his confidants, but even Yang Yinhou, who had already had an inkling, was so shocked he almost dropped his eyeballs.

He knew Ge Dongxu had slain a large serpent at the bottom of the Sky Pit, but the visual and psychological impact was still immense when actually laying eyes upon it.

Only at this moment did Yang Yinhou understand why Ge Dongxu suspected the large serpent might have cultivated into a demon, and why it was wise of Ge Dongxu to instruct Gan Lei to send some people away in advance.
