The Luckiest Dumb Doctor - Chapter 437

Chapter 437: Chapter 437 Gourd Cave_1

Streams of gloomy and evil Qi, carrying cold and chaos, surged wildly within his body.

Greg Jensen focused his mind, using his Divine Sense to marshal the True Qi and started to eradicate the malevolence within.

A moment later, all the malevolent Qi was enveloped by the True Qi and rushed towards the Dantian.

In this process, the malevolent Qi slowly transformed into True Qi, replenishing the nearly depleted Dantian.

Time ticked away, and soon it was evening.

“A blessing in disguise indeed!”

Greg Jensen suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of excitement in his gaze. Feeling the abundant True Qi inside his body, he couldn’t help but laugh.

After refining all that malevolent Qi, his True Qi had surged greatly, bringing him very close to the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

He believed that with enough malevolence, he could continue to cultivate and easily advance to the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

Greg Jensen slowly stood up, stretched his body, and pushed the door to exit Lukas Simon’s tent.

Guard Commander Elijah Hall personally stood at the entrance, guarding the door for Greg Jensen, and immediately straightened up when he saw him come out.

As he was about to greet him, Greg Jensen just happened to look over.

Upon exchanging glances with him, Elijah Hall’s heart trembled; it was as if he could see the vast ocean within those profound eyes.

Within that ocean, it seemed like a giant wave was surging directly toward him.

Elijah Hall instinctively stepped back, stumbling, and was about to fall.

But at that moment, a large hand reached out, firmly grasping his shoulder and steadying his form.

He snapped out of it, looking up only to see Greg Jensen standing right in front of him. He quickly bowed his head and respectfully said:

“Mr. Jensen, hello.”

“Mmm, thank you for your hard work.”

“Not… not at all tiring!”

Elijah Hall swallowed, his voice hoarse as he replied, and waited with his head lowered, but heard not a sound.

When he looked up again, he discovered Greg Jensen was already far away.

He watched Greg Jensen’s retreating figure and let out a long breath of relief.

As the evening breeze blew, he couldn’t help but shiver, realizing that his clothes were already drenched with cold sweat.

Greg Jensen wandered around the camp, looking at the thick malevolent Qi and fell into deep thought.

Unquestionably, this malevolent Qi all came from that mysterious cave. What could exist to breed such abundant malevolent Qi?

Greg Jensen was pondering whether or not to enter the cave to cultivate.

If he didn’t go in, how could he prevent the spread of the malevolence?

After thinking for a long time, he could not come up with a solution. He turned his head toward the cave, his mind set on a firm decision.

Fortune favors the bold!

The cave was definitely worth exploring; it was crucial for his quick advancement to the eighth level of Qi Refinement. He felt that as long as he was cautious, there shouldn’t be any major problems.

At that moment, upon receiving news, Lukas Simon came over and asked with concern, “Young Jensen, how are you? Are you alright now?”

Greg Jensen nodded, “Mmm, it’s nothing serious, I’m fine now.”

“That’s great.”

Lukas Simon’s face lit up with joy, then cautiously inquired, “But can you deal with this malevolent Qi in the camp?”

Greg Jensen took another look at the cave and asked, “Lukas, can you tell me exactly what’s the situation with this cave?”

“This…”

Lukas Simon hesitated, as though making a significant decision, and said, “When they sent us here, the orders were simply to station us here, using the vigor of soldiers to combat the malevolent Qi.

So, the actual situation inside, I’m not very clear on it myself.”

He paused, a hint of worry in his voice, “Does young brother Xu plan to go inside to take a look?”

Greg Jensen nodded and said, “Hmm, even if the evil spirits outside are cleared, it’s only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. We still need to go inside and check it out.”

Lukas Simon couldn’t help but remind him, “Young brother Xu, after Randy Locke went there, he almost didn’t come back alive. You should know the dangers inside.

My suggestion is, if you can avoid going in, then don’t. It’s best to resolve the matter from the outside.”

Greg Jensen chuckled and shook his head, “You don’t have to worry, even if I can’t settle the trouble in the cave, looking after myself shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Well… okay, then you must be careful in there.”

“Hmm, I will.”

Lukas Simon nodded, asking, “Do you need me to do anything?”

Greg Jensen said with a smile, “Could you get me something to eat first? I haven’t eaten all day, I’m starving.”

Lukas Simon’s face turned red with embarrassment, “Sorry, my oversight. I was only thinking about the evil spirits.”

“Haha, it’s alright.”

“Come, big brother will take you to eat, and have a couple of drinks on the way.”

Lukas Simon took Greg Jensen to the canteen, where he ordered the cook to prepare several special dishes, and the two of them chatted while they ate.

Lukas Simon was also a master of Dark Strength and held great admiration for Greg Jensen, who had become a Grandmaster at such a young age.

Greg Jensen likewise admired him for being able to lead an army at his age.

The two talked very harmoniously.

Finally, when they brought up Alberto Simon, Greg Jensen also appropriately expressed his apologies, saying things like “I shouldn’t have been so harsh.”

Lukas Simon waved his hand disinterestedly, snorted, and said, “That scoundrel, once his injury heals, I’ll break one of his legs myself, to save him from causing trouble out there every day.”

“It’s not that serious…”

Greg Jensen responded noncommittally, but inwardly he scoffed, one leg was too lenient; it would be best to break all three so he wouldn’t mess around.

After the meal, Greg Jensen found Randy Locke, who was recuperating, wanting to ask about the situation inside the cave.

But after asking, Greg Jensen was even more puzzled.

According to Randy Locke, upon entering, he had only seen a stone door. He’d pushed it slightly and then, holding the statue of Guan Yu, stumbled his way back out.

Could there be something behind that stone door?

Generally speaking, places with a dense concentration of evil Yin energy are common burial grounds, with dead soldiers and generals being the most typical.

For instance, on certain ancient battlefields, the evil Yin energy is incredibly intense.

If it is an open area, the evil Yin energy would dissipate quickly, but if it’s a cave, situated in a particular type of Feng Shui terrain, the Yin energy would condense and not scatter, accumulating more and more over time.

The corpses buried within, nourished by the Yinn energy, would undergo a transformation, and after becoming undead, produce even more Yin energy.

In this cycle, the Yin energy becomes even stronger.

To clarify the situation was actually quite simple: just go in and see if there was any undead. That would be enough.

However, Randy Locke had barely opened a crack, and such intense Yin energy surged out. If the door were fully opened, it might lead to an even greater disaster.

Greg Jensen considered for a moment and decided to first enter the cave to take a look. As for whether to go through the stone door, that would depend on the specific situation.

He returned to Lukas Simon’s quarters to rest for a while before heading to the cave.

Lukas Simon personally led the soldiers, ready for action at the entrance of the cave.

“Young brother Xu, be careful in all things, and prioritize your own safety above all else.”

“Don’t worry, big brother Lukas. If it’s not feasible, I won’t force it.”

Lukas Simon nodded, patted Greg Jensen’s shoulder, and said, “No matter what, I have made you my friend, and from now on, you are my sworn brother.”

“Haha, no need to be so formal, big brother Lukas.”

Greg Jensen grinned, gazed into the deep cave, and then stepped forward into it.
