Peach Blossom Divine Medical God-Chapter 1837 - 1831: An Unexpected Encounter

By this time, it was already daylight.

The villagers gradually emerged from their homes, astonished at the dramatic changes in the surroundings.

No one knew how the village had transformed overnight.

"What’s going on? Why are the fields ruined? Where are the trees of the forest?"

"Oh my goodness, have we been evicted?"

"There were lightning and thunderstorms last night, could it be that we got struck by lightning?"

...

The village was buzzing with discussions and speculations of all sorts, but fortunately, Ma Jiantao had left personnel behind to handle the situation.

Once the officials intervened, the village quickly returned to calm, everyone agreeing it was simply last night’s torrential rain and abundant lightning.

The village’s fields and trees had been struck by lightning, which is why they were flattened.

The forest nearby the village wasn’t extensive, and after searching for more than an hour without any results, Chen Yang decided to give up.

After all, he had only seen roughly where it was, seeming to be within this forest.

As for the exact location, he was unsure.

"If it can’t be found, it means it’s not meant to be, forget it, let’s go back."

Chen Yang shook his head, ready to leave.

But on his way back down the mountain path, he encountered a child tethering a cow to graze on the field bank.

The child seemed to be eight or nine years old, presumably a local villager.

The child looked quite ordinary and dressed plainly, but the item he was playing with in his hand made Chen Yang’s eyes widen!

The round pearl of a size similar to a billiard ball, wasn’t it a Dragon Pearl?

He had spent over an hour searching without finding it, yet unexpectedly encountered it on his way down the mountain!

Is this fate?

Chen Yang shook his head joyfully and approached.

"Little one, where did you get that thing in your hand?" Chen Yang asked kindly with a smile.

The child had already noticed Chen Yang earlier, and seeing him approach was a bit wary.

"I’m from this village, my parents are over there loosening the soil." The child said threateningly.

Chen Yang laughed.

"Little one, uncle isn’t a bad guy, I’m just asking, where did you get that thing in your hand?" Chen Yang explained, and continued his inquiry.

The child, realizing Chen Yang didn’t seem to have bad intentions, eased his guard slightly.

"This? I found it while herding cows in the woods earlier." The child lifted the pearl as if to showcase it to Chen Yang.

It truly was a Dragon Pearl!

Yesterday, Chen Yang had observed it closely, it must be, no mistake about it!

"What a perfectly round stone ball, what do you plan to do with it?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

"Of course, I’ll take it back to play marbles, nobody in the village will have marbles larger than mine." The child said excitedly.

Indeed, children are still innocent.

"Little one, uncle likes this item of yours, could you let uncle have it?" Chen Yang took out several bills from his pocket: "Uncle can trade it with you for these, with this money, you can buy many marbles."

The child, though young, recognized money.

After a brief hesitation, he agreed.

"Alright, let’s trade."

The child’s guard vanished quickly and he approached Chen Yang to hand over the pearl: "You should give me the money."

With the Dragon Pearl in hand, there was a smooth sensation, and moreover, traces of spiritual energy!

This confirmed to Chen Yang it was, indeed, no mistake.

"Good, here you go." Chen Yang kept his word, handing all the money to the child, then left with the Dragon Pearl.

After Chen Yang left, the dark shape in the river, closest to the forest, flickered a few times before entirely disappearing...

With the Dragon Pearl in hand, Chen Yang returned to the car directly.

Sitting in the car, he examined it carefully.

This item was incredibly smooth, with a conspicuous comfortable feeling to the touch.

The addition of spiritual energy was notable, aside from that, there were no other sensations.

After some research, Chen Yang couldn’t discern its substantial function, thus he chose not to think too deeply about it.

Once back, consulting Lisa might shed some light.

He placed the Dragon Pearl on the passenger seat next to him, then drove back to Liuhe Village.

Setting out early in the morning, by the time he returned to the village, it was already midday, approaching afternoon.

The first thing he did upon getting home was head to the kitchen to whip up a tasty meal to fill his stomach.

Following that, he strolled around the village.

Everything in the village’s industry was steadily developing, with hardly any incidents occurring.

After wandering about, he returned to his medical clinic intending to retreat into cultivation.

The events of last night had indeed placed a significant amount of pressure on him.

It also exposed the sheer difference between Qi Refinement and Spirit Gathering realms.

Ding ding ding...

However, before he could begin, the phone rang.

He saw the call was from Lisa.

Seeing the call from Lisa, Chen Yang wondered whether something had happened again, but upon answering he learned it was just a call to check on his safety.

The call came just in time, Chen Yang had the intention to have Lisa assist in investigating some matters.

"Alright, since you’ve safely arrived home, I will hang up now. Additionally, I have good news, many members of the Blood Wolf Sect have been captured in the past couple of days, only the Blood Wolf Sect Master and several key members have managed to escape, but they should be caught soon." Lisa said.

Hearing this news surprised Chen Yang, how could the Blood Wolf Sect Master, albeit a late-stage Qi Cultivator, be captured so easily?

He voiced his doubts, expressing his inner concerns.

"The Blood Wolf Sect publicly challenged our secret agency, and ambushed Lion Tiger Observatory disciples, naturally it must be eradicated without reserve. As for the methods, it’s not convenient to disclose." Lisa replied mysteriously.

Seeing it wasn’t convenient to discuss, Chen Yang didn’t press further.

"Alright."

"Mhm, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now, contact me if there’s anything."

Lisa said as she prepared to hang up the call, but Chen Yang promptly stopped her: "By the way, Lisa, I have another favor to ask."

"Hmm? What is it? What do you need help with?" Lisa asked.

"I’d like your help investigating three things, first is an elixir from the pre-Qin era, called the Creation Pill, checking its effects, secondly, I want to learn about some history of the Lion Tiger Observatory, your secret agency has such archives, is it not difficult to look up?" Chen Yang said.

"Hmm... that’s no problem, I’ll check the archives for you later, what’s the third thing?" With the first two requests, Lisa agreed directly, and even proactively inquired about the third item.

"The third is about yesterday’s matter, considering the dragon’s formidable combat power, I want to know about the Dragon Pearl’s information." Chen Yang said.

Lisa slightly wondered why Chen Yang was interested in these things, but didn’t comment much and straightforwardly agreed: "Alright, no problem, I’ll investigate for you and compile the information to send to you."

"Okay, thank you."

"You’re welcome."

Then the call ended.

Then Chen Yang entered into a cultivation state, until he next opened his eyes, it was already dawn.
