Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Sun Zhe leaped onto the peak of the strange mountain, gazing thoughtfully at the nearly broken airplane in front of him.

The damaged fuselage had lost its paint in many places, corroded with rust, and was covered in unknown green vines with poisonous snakes crawling all over, ants and bugs scuttling around, like a natural pit of vipers.

This aerospace giant, brought here by accident, sat lonely on the mountain peak, its age unknown, seemingly forgotten by time.

Sun Zhe quietly activated his Yin Yang X-ray Vision, discovering numerous scattered skeletons in the cabin, most of which had been gnawed by beasts, exuding a faintly melancholic and terrifying aura.

He bowed deeply and murmured, ”Rest in peace. Surely your families have never given up searching for you all these years.”

Little Dragon Girl transformed into a small silver dragon about the length of an arm, flying out from the Ring Space, circled around, and landed on Sun Zhe’s head, saying, ”Xiao Zhezi, there’s more below.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe collected his thoughts and quickly walked to the edge of the cliff, looking out, his gaze involuntarily trembling.

At the bottom of the peak’s valley and ravines stood numerous gigantic objects, including cruise ships, freighters, airplanes...

It was like a post-apocalyptic junkyard from a movie.

The products of modern technology combined with ancient exotic plants, desolate yet impactful, stirred one’s spirit.

Yet behind this shocking spectacle was extreme cruelty.

Sun Zhe dared not imagine how many Earthlings were buried here.

Suddenly, he understood how the name ”Valley of Ten Thousand Burials” came to be.

”Roar——!”

Just as he was lamenting, a roar suddenly echoed from afar.

The terrifying sound wave contained spiritual power fluctuations, rolling towards all directions as if even the space was being shattered.

Even from a distance, Sun Zhe inexplicably felt chills.

What kind of terrifying giant beast could make such a sound?

Sun Zhe followed the sound to the distant mountain’s outline and asked, ”Sister Long, what kind of Jiao Beast is this?”

”I don’t know either, but there’s a very strong spiritual Qi fluctuation over there. Let’s go take a look, we might find a great opportunity.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe didn’t hesitate and flew through the air.

The eerie roars were transmitted intermittently, and the closer Sun Zhe got, the more anxious he felt. If it weren’t for the strong presence of Little Dragon Girl accompanying him, he wouldn’t dare to approach so easily.

Before long.

Sun Zhe flew into the majestic mountain range, landing casually on a peak, and looked down to find a vast lake below.

The lake was an irregular circle, like a pancake nibbled by ants, with steep cliffs all around, and the dark green water exuded an extremely dangerous aura.

At that moment, light and shadow flickered on the cliffs surrounding the lake, forming some kind of array barrier encompassing the entire lake, and cultivators could occasionally be seen flying back and forth.

Suddenly, a giant water column dozens of feet high erupted from the surface of the lake, and a gigantic creature flew out, hovering in midair, emitting a bellow like a bull.

The outer world cultivators shouted and clamored at the sight, appearing extremely panicked.

Sun Zhe focused his gaze to see that the gigantic creature was a completely golden-red goldfish, as big as a heavy truck!

”What kind of Jiao Beast is that?”

After observing for a moment, Little Dragon Girl said, ”It should be a Henggong Fish.”

”Is this the Henggong Fish?” Sun Zhe was amazed, suddenly recalling the ancient scriptures he often read as a child.

”You know about the Henggong Fish?”

Sun Zhe said, ”The ’Classic of God and Anomalies: Northern Wilderness’ says: In the North, there is a stone lake, the stone water does not freeze. It lives in deep valleys during the day, and transforms into a man at night. It cannot be pierced, nor can it be cooked, indestructible like vajra.”

”You know quite a lot.”

”I happened to read a few books with some records,” Sun Zhe lamented, ”Didn’t expect such a Jiao Beast to actually exist in the world, you live and learn!”

”You’ve even seen a dragon, what’s there to be surprised about? But this is not a Jiao Beast, it’s a Great Demon.”

Sun Zhe looked puzzled, ”A Great Demon?”

Little Dragon Girl said, ”When Jiao Beasts cultivate to a certain level, they can transform into Great Demons with the power to destroy the world. Their descendants are born with Great Demon bloodlines, far surpassing ordinary Jiao Beasts, and even possess bloodline-bestowed divine skills.”

”And this Henggong Fish is probably the offspring of a Great Demon from ancient times.”

Sun Zhe laughed, ”As expected, strength depends on whether your ancestors were powerful.”

Little Dragon Girl continued to observe and said after a moment, ”But I don’t think these outer world cultivators are trying to kill this Henggong Fish. Their real goal should be to seize the spiritual vein beneath the lake. This Henggong Fish likely guards the spiritual vein.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe was intrigued, ”A spiritual vein, you mean that thing in the underground arena?”

”Yes, but the spiritual vein here is much stronger than the one in the underground arena.”

Sun Zhe asked, ”What does a spiritual vein look like?”

”Spiritual veins vary in form, there’s no specific appearance. Xiao Zhezi, if we obtain this spiritual vein and bury it in the land within the Ring Space... it’ll make our cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.”

”So, do you want to hit it big with me?”

Sun Zhe gave a crafty smile, ”I’ve been thinking the same thing.”

Little Dragon Girl said, ”While these outer world cultivators are helping us trap the Henggong Fish, let’s hurry and find a place to retrieve the spiritual vein.”

”Alright! But how do we find the spiritual vein?”

”I’ll use my Dragon Path Heavenly Eye.”

Little Dragon Girl lay on top of Sun Zhe’s head, her eyes glowing with a golden light, starting to observe the mountains and landscape around the giant lake.

In just a few minutes, she made a discovery, immediately flying as a silver streak, ”Found it, found it, Xiao Zhezi, follow me.”

Sun Zhe moved swiftly and followed right after.

”Remember to conceal your aura, don’t let those outer world cultivators find out.”

”Got it.”

Before long.

The dragon and man flew to a peculiar peak, finding a fissure leading underground midway up the mountain.

The fissure was only half a meter wide and more than two meters long, like an inconspicuous scar on a giant’s body. Sun Zhe took a look, and even using his X-ray Vision, he couldn’t penetrate the darkness to see the bottom.

The dense darkness was suffocating, exuding a mysterious and unknown terror.

”Xiao Zhezi, it’s right down there, once you go down, you can find the spiritual vein.”

Sun Zhe hesitated, ”Are you serious?”

Little Dragon Girl flew over and patted his head with her small, fleshy dragon claw, ”Would sister lie to you? I’ve seen it.”

Sun Zhe steeled himself and decisively squeezed into the fissure, using his hands to support the smooth rock walls on both sides, slowly moving downward.

He descended diagonally for nearly fifty meters before reaching a vertical dark space.

In this darkness, Sun Zhe inexplicably felt anxious, immediately activated his X-ray Vision, and controlled his spiritual power underfoot, slowly flying downward.

”Roar——!”

Suddenly, an earth-shaking roar reverberated from the depths of the darkness.

Sun Zhe’s heart sank, immediately hovering in midair and asked, ”It doesn’t sound like the Henggong Fish’s roar, could there be another Jiao Beast below?”

Little Dragon Girl’s heart sank slightly, saying, ”That’s the roar of a dragon.”

”...”
