Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 793 - 791: Out of the Sky Pit

"Damn it, this Zhone Ling Milk can actually replenish my lost drop of Lifebound Essence!" Ge Dongxu, seeing the remarkable effect of the Zhone Ling Milk, couldn't help but feel both thrilled and annoyed with regret.

Because he had already achieved the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer, even a lost drop of Lifebound Essence could gradually be replenished through cultivation. However, if ordinary people consumed this Zhone Ling Milk, it might change their physical condition and strengthen their Innate Qi, which weakens as they age.

If that were truly possible, then his parents might very well start on the path of cultivation because of this Zhone Ling Milk.

Unfortunately, such Zhone Ling Milk was a rare find, and Ge Dongxu regretted every drop he drank, as it meant one drop less.

Thankfully, there were still two more stalactite columns, each also emitting a fragrant scent, presumably also nurturing Zhone Ling Milk; otherwise, Ge Dongxu would have seriously slapped himself.

You should know, missing out on the cultivation years because his parents were older was always a regret in Ge Dongxu's heart. Now, finally seeing a glimmer of hope, if his own impulsive indulgence caused his parents to miss this opportunity, how could Ge Dongxu ever forgive himself?

Gathering his complex emotions, Ge Dongxu carefully broke off the other two stalactite columns.

"Thank goodness! Thank goodness!" Seeing that the remaining two stalactite columns also contained a drop of Zhone Ling Milk, Ge Dongxu sighed with immense relief. This time, he dared not lick it but carefully sealed them and placed them in his bag.

Having secured the two small pieces of stalactite along with the two drops of Zhone Ling Milk, Ge Dongxu saw nothing else of importance in the stone chamber. After some thought, he exited the chamber, then conjured the Life and Death Dual Aspects Sword and activated the sword technique, transforming it into a sharp precious sword.

The precious sword suddenly pierced the rock wall as easily as cutting tofu, cleanly slicing off a rectangular piece of rock.

Ge Dongxu then used the Life and Death Dual Aspects Sword to hollow out the middle of the rectangular rock before bringing it into the stone chamber.

He bowed three times to Ge Hong's skeleton, then moved the bones into the stone coffin.

After finishing all these tasks, Ge Dongxu lifted the stone coffin and walked out of the stone chamber, retracing his original path.

Though the stone coffin weighed at least a thousand jin, Ge Dongxu carried it on his shoulder with ease, his return pace much faster than when he'd arrived.

It wasn't long before Ge Dongxu reached the underground plaza at the Sky Pit's entrance.

The giant snake was still immersed in the Underground River.

Ge Dongxu looked at another cave mouth connected to the Underground River. He thought about putting down the stone coffin and exploring the other cave, but eventually decided against it. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

After all, it was the ancestor's skeleton inside the coffin, so nothing could go wrong, and who knew what strange creatures might still be lurking in the Sky Pit.

So, Ge Dongxu took several Green Vine ropes, tied the coffin securely to his body, then stepped on the overlapping rocks, climbing upwards.

Although his Cultivation was high, carrying a stone coffin weighing over a thousand jin still made it impossible for him to fly.

As he climbed upwards, he also encountered some reptiles and poisonous snakes, but he managed to drive them away with Techniques.

These reptiles and snakes lived in areas abundant with Five Element Spiritual Energy, unlike ordinary reptiles and snakes, and their use in brewing alcohol or making medicine was hundreds of times more effective, so naturally, Ge Dongxu wouldn't easily kill them.

Not long after, Ge Dongxu crawled out of the pit.

Glancing back at the pit, Ge Dongxu, carrying the stone coffin, hurried towards the mountain top where Yang Yinhou was located.

Before reaching that mountain top, Ge Dongxu saw the soldiers stationed at the foot of the mountain, and Yang Yinhou, standing on the tip of a tree, gazing into the distance against the wind.

"Dongxu, what is this?" Yang Yinhou soon spotted Ge Dongxu, leapt into the air, and stepped from tree to tree until he stood in front of Ge Dongxu in the blink of an eye.

"These are the remains of our ancestor, Ge Hong Ancestor, the founder of the Pill Talisman Sect," Ge Dongxu said solemnly.

At these words, Yang Yinhou was taken by surprise; he hastily knelt down to pay his respects, then helped Ge Dongxu carry the stone coffin back to the camp where the soldiers were stationed.

Once the stone coffin was set down, Yang Yinhou had people prepare incense and offerings for the ancestor, and then with a face full of surprise, he turned to Ge Dongxu and asked, "How come the ancestor's remains are in the Sky Pit?"

"I don't know," Ge Dongxu replied, shaking his head in confusion.

He truly had no idea why Ge Hong was in that pit; everything would have to wait until the day he could again see the Five Elements Qiankun Stone and unlock its prohibitions. Perhaps then the truth would be revealed, but for now, Ge Dongxu knew nothing.

Yang Yinhou was not very surprised by Ge Dongxu's response.

After all, according to the historical records, Ge Hong lived during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, more than seventeen hundred years ago. It was far too long ago, and who could possibly know why his remains appeared here?

"Then how did you know it was him, the ancestor?" Yang Yinhou asked.

"When I saw him, the ancestor was sitting with his legs crossed on the ground as if he were alive. Soon after he saw me, he turned into a skeleton as time seemed to pass rapidly," Ge Dongxu replied, without mentioning anything about the Five Elements Qiankun Stone.

Ge Dongxu did not mention the Five Elements Qiankun Stone, not because he did not trust Yang Yinhou, but because it was the ancestor's final instruction; ancestral commands must not be violated. Besides, the Five Elements Qiankun Stone had also vanished without trace, giving Ge Dongxu nothing to speak of.

"The ancient Immortal Technique is truly miraculous!" Yang Yinhou didn't become suspicious upon hearing this; instead, his face showed longing and anticipation.

"Because I was worried about the safety of our ancestor's remains, I brought it up first; I still need to go back down. There's another world under the Sky Pit, filled with Spiritual Energy due to being sealed underground for years. There are some poisonous snakes and creatures, some valuable Green Vine plants, and not just that, there's also a large snake I killed down there which was quite formidable. I suspect that if its original lifespan had not come to an end, it could have developed Spiritual Intelligence and cultivated into a demon after a few more hundred years of cultivation. These are all valuable things that need to be brought up. Moreover, there are still many places at the bottom of the pit I haven't had time to explore," Ge Dongxu said.

"Hmm, the ancestor's remains must not be lost, and you are being very prudent and mature in handling this," Yang Yinhou nodded, admiration in his eyes.

Ge Dongxu nodded, then suddenly remembered the good items in his bag, and his face couldn't help but reveal a slight smile as he said, "This is the Snake Gallbladder of that large snake, which can be used in Spiritual Medicine. This means you, brother, will have no difficulty breaking through to the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation. There are also these two drops of Zhong Ling Milk, which can change one's physical constitution, perhaps even allowing my parents to embark on the path of cultivation."

"Good! Good!" Yang Yinhou, upon hearing this, couldn't help but get so excited that his voice trembled.

The Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation allows for the creation of an Air Cyclone in the kidneys, shifting from Acquired to Innate. It is one of the most significant milestones in the stage of Qi Cultivation.

In fact, practitioners within the Qimen specifically separate the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation, calling it Foundation Establishment. This means that one can truly lay a solid foundation on the path of cultivation once they reach the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation.

Yang Yinhou had not expected that this journey to the Sky Pit undertaken by Ge Dongxu would turn into such a great opportunity for himself.
