"Not only are there fifty tons of gold, but there's also a large amount of jewelry, jade, and antiques. It's certainly not appropriate for me to hold onto such a large quantity of gold, so I plan to entrust someone to transfer it to the state," Ge Dongxu replied.

"Transferring it to the state is good, given your identity, the state wouldn't simply take this batch of gold from you for nothing, you should get a monetary compensation for it," Yang Yinhou said, nodding his head upon hearing this.

"That's what I was thinking," Ge Dongxu nodded in agreement.

Although Ge Dongxu was patriotic, he wouldn't simply hand over fifty tons of gold to the state treasury without any compensation. He was still going to take what he was due.

"As for the jewelry, jade, and antiques, I guess we really have to transport them back to Baiyun Mountain first and see how to deal with them slowly," Ge Dongxu continued.

"I've worked hard all my life and have saved up a little, but it's nothing compared to you!" Yang Yinhou couldn't help but express his deep feelings.

"Would you, my brother, really care about these external possessions?" Ge Dongxu asked with a smile.

"Cultivators speak of companions, Dharma, wealth, and land; how could I not care about wealth? If I truly didn't care, I wouldn't have been dealing with the jade business at the border all these years by leveraging our master's influence. Of course, once one's wealth accumulates to a certain level, enough to meet the needs of cultivation, wealth becomes just a number. You're already at that level now, where you no longer need to toil for money, and thanks to you, I also no longer need to work for it now," Yang Yinhou said with a wave of his hand.

Ge Dongxu smiled upon hearing this. When it came to wealth, he had no need to be modest in front of his own brother.

The two brothers then talked a lot more, including the matter of Sexin knowing Ren Yao.

Previously, Ge Dongxu had been focused on the Sky Pit and had not brought up Sexin's matter with Yang Yinhou.

"Sexin, I've heard of him. He has quite a reputation in Thailand's Qimen; it's said his cultivation has already reached the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, and his Cursing Magic is unpredictable -- he's a truly formidable person. I didn't expect he would have such a connection with our master," Yang Yinhou said, expressing his surprise when Ge Dongxu brought up Sexin.

"His cultivation indeed has reached the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer," Ge Dongxu nodded.

"Although Sexin is a sorcerer and his Cursing Magic is mysterious, his actions and character are said to be quite upright. Moreover, he had a relationship with General Duan Xiwen in the past, and the general thought highly of him. Now that he turns out to have such a connection with our sect, and from what you just said, you think highly of him, you might take this opportunity to bring him along to pay respects to our master. Observe him further, and if he proves to be worthy, it wouldn't hurt to show him some favor. In doing so, outside of the Sky Pit, we would have both Bacha's and Gan Lei's forces -- that way, we'll encounter no mishaps," Yang Yinhou pondered aloud.

Duan Xiwen was a legendary Nationalist Army general of the 93rd Division during the years of anti-Japanese war, later becoming the garrison commander of Wuhan. After suffering defeat in the civil war, he ended up in the jungles along the Thai-Myanmar border, the so-called Golden Triangle. He once commanded forces to help Thailand suppress a rebellion and passed away in Bangkok in the eighties, a highly legendary figure.

Yang Yinhou was also a Nationalist Army general, and later he mainly operated in the forests of Northern Myanmar, so naturally, he had a relationship with General Duan.

"That's exactly my intention. There are few of us in the Pill Talisman Sect, just you, me, and Murong. It's necessary to develop a few peripheral members. Since our master once gave his father some guidance, if Sexin today proves to be cultivable, I wouldn't mind giving him some advice," Ge Dongxu nodded.

"Ha ha, it turns out you already had an idea in mind, so I was being redundant," Yang Yinhou laughed.

"Why would that be? With Brother Yang's words, I have a much clearer picture now," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

Yang Yinhou smiled, and the two brothers continued to talk for a while.

As they were talking, people gradually brought back boxes of treasure chests to the temporary military camp.

Yang Yinhou checked each treasure chest and then said to Ge Dongxu, "Most of these items were looted by the Japanese from Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and other Southeast Asian countries during World War II, and some were looted from our country. It's difficult to estimate the value of these jewels, jade, and antiques, but all of them are valuable and should be comparable to this batch of gold."

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Ge Dongxu's face. Although he knew that the batch of jewelry, jade, and antiques were valuable, his estimate was only about ten billion. Now, after listening to Yang Yinhou, he realized the value of these items was comparable to fifty tons of gold.

After all, Gan Lei was the leader. He moved a treasure chest once to vent some energy and no longer felt uncomfortable, so he did not continue to work as a porter.

When Yang Yinhou opened the treasure chests, Gan Lei stood by and watched. Seeing the bars of gold and a large number of jewels, jade, and antiques, his eyes shone as brightly as the jewels, but he dared not harbor any greed.

"These items are not suitable to leave with you. Starting this year, I will arrange for someone to secretly provide you with some funds. Use them to develop your territory. Drugs are harmful to others as well as to oneself; it's better to eradicate them altogether," Ge Dongxu said, noting Gan Lei's shining eyes and patting his shoulder.

"Thank you, Master Ge," Gan Lei said with great joy upon hearing this.

As Ge Dongxu had said, drugs harm both others and oneself, which Gan Lei understood well. However, the area was impoverished and backward, with almost no economic or industrial foundation. He had to support so many people and guns, so out of desperation, he chose this evil path that brought in quick money.

If Ge Dongxu was willing to finance him and allow him to peacefully develop his territory, Gan Lei was naturally eager for such an opportunity.

All the treasure chests were eventually brought back.

Gan Lei ordered his men to gather vehicles, while Ge Dongxu called Director Fan Hong of the Special Ability Management Bureau to arrange for vehicles to meet them and also told him about the fifty tons of gold that he would transfer to the state.

Fifty tons of gold, converted into money, is naturally not a large sum for a major country like Huaxia. However, gold reserves are an important indicator of a country's economic strength, future direction of gold prices, and even a significant determinant of foreign currency exchange rates. The publicly disclosed gold reserves of Huaxia are just over one thousand tons; even if the actual figure is much more, fifty tons of gold is certainly not a small number for Huaxia's gold reserves.

So even though Fan Hong was in a high position and a cultivator himself, he was taken aback by the mention of fifty tons of gold. After hanging up the phone, he immediately reported and communicated about the matter to the relevant leaders.

Given Ge Dongxu's current status and the buzz he created after going to university, including the visit of the King of Reel Country to Huaxia especially because of him, those at the lower levels might not know that the driving force behind these events was a young man, but those few at the top certainly did.

Hearing that Ge Dongxu had obtained fifty tons of gold from the jungles of Myanmar,
