The Luckiest Dumb Doctor-Chapter 613 - : Emptying Flora Valley_1
Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Emptying Flora Valley_1
Upon hearing the offer, Old Yellow’s eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Greg Jensen, waiting for his decision.
After all, in this age of decline for cultivators, resources were of utmost importance.
According to what Hall Master Gong had said, as long as one joined Yama Hall, these benefits awaited, and afterwards, Greg Jensen could rest easy and focus on cultivating in peace.
However, Greg Jensen suddenly stood up and said indifferently, “I’m sorry, Hall Master Gong, I’m used to my freedom and must decline your generous offer.”
Hall Master Gong’s expression changed slightly as he said, “Won’t Master Xu reconsider?”
In an age where resources are so crucial, what right does a mere hall master have to promise such substantial benefits on behalf of Yama Hall?”
Greg Jensen replied calmly, “Must I really spell things out so clearly?”
Hall Master Gong’s expression turned cold as he said, “Master Xu, I’d advise you not to spurn the wine of toast for that of penalty.
Come back with me to the main hall obediently, and I assure you, you’ll be safe. Otherwise…”
“Why waste words? Let’s get on with it. I still need to make a trip to Flora Valley after this.”
With a cold snort, Greg Jensen immediately wielded the Sword of Coagulated Frost and charged towards Hall Master Gong.
“Flying Swords?”
Hall Master Gong was taken aback at the sight of the flying swords. Like Peter Simmons, he too had assumed that Greg Jensen’s realm wasn’t high; he didn’t expect such a powerful move right from the start.
He had just thought of dodging when another blade of light came slashing towards him.
“Be careful, Hall Master!”
Before the words were finished, there was a ‘pfft’ sound, and Hall Master Gong collapsed onto the ground, his body twitching once before he breathed his last.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before the others from Yama Hall could react, streaks of violet lightning rained down from the sky.
The men didn’t even get a chance to scream before they were killed outright.
Silence fell at that moment!
All around was the silence of death.
Old Yellow, clutching the short sword, was about to rush over to grapple with Hall Master Gong, but seeing this scene, he was instantly petrified.
“It’s… it’s over just like that?”
In his mind, as Hall Master Gong had come bearing down with his men, a brutal fight was inevitable.
Yet before he could take action, the battle was already over.
“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and see if they have anything good on them; afterwards, we still need to go to Flora Valley.”
“Ah, right.”
Old Yellow searched the bodies and found nothing of value except for the Qi Blood Pills that Hall Master Gong carried, which belonged to Greg Jensen.
“You keep them,” Greg Jensen said, glancing at the Qi Blood Pills without taking them back. He then tossed several fireballs, incinerating the bodies of Hall Master Gong and the others, before returning to Flora Valley with Old Yellow.
Two individuals were still standing in Flora Valley.
But this time, they had lost their previous vigilance and were leisurely sitting by the mouth of the valley, smoking and chatting.
“Master Xu? Why have you returned?”
“We’re back to fetch something.”
One of them asked blankly, “Fetch what?”
“Fetch the treasures of your Flora Valley.”
Greg Jensen casually replied and had already reached the two men. Before they could react, he knocked them out with two slaps and then strutted into Flora Valley.
Upon the two’s entry into Flora Valley, others immediately took notice.
Greg Jensen repeated his earlier tactics, knocking them all to the ground before they could respond and then walked into a four-story building, stopping in the lobby on the first floor.
“Master Xu, why have we stopped?” Old Yellow asked.
“Hold on, I’m checking where their treasury might be.”
Greg Jensen took a deep breath, and his Divine Sense spread out like a tide. After a while, he detected something amiss in an office on the second floor.
The office was very large, with a massive desk, and behind it a row of bookshelves displaying various kinds of books, totaling up to a thousand.
However, with so many books on the shelves, it still seemed somewhat empty.
Greg Jensen approached the bookshelves and ran his hand over them, finally stopping in front of a sky-blue vase, gently giving it a twist.
After a squeaking noise, the bookshelf parted to both sides, revealing a pitch-black secret chamber.
Greg Jensen released his Divine Sense to explore for a while, and seeing no danger, he walked in.
Once inside, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.
He thought that the treasury of Flora Valley would at least contain some useful Magic Artifacts, but it turned out to be all rare medicinal herbs and the like.
Most of the other Magic Artifacts were damaged and worthless.
Nevertheless, it was the market of the Infernal Court; there were indeed many rare medicinal herbs. Greg Jensen casually looked around and, surprisingly, gathered enough materials for a batch of Foundation Building Pills.
Greg Jensen cleared out the herbs and then left Flora Valley with Peter Simmons.
The two returned to Great Bright City to rest for the night, and the next day they took a flight back to Grey Province.
…
At the entrance of East Peak Manor, all the Family Heads who had received the news were standing at the entrance waiting.
“Master Xu, you’re back.”
When they saw Greg Jensen get out of the car, the crowd quickly went up to greet him respectfully.
Greg Jensen nodded and said as he walked, “Issac Grey, the rest of you stay, the rest can disperse.”
“Yes.”
Hearing Greg Jensen’s words, the lesser Family Heads, though somewhat reluctant, didn’t dare to defy Greg Jensen and respectfully left.
Greg Jensen paused in his step and said to Carmen Stuart, “Arrange a courtyard for Peter Simmons, let him settle in first.”
“Certainly, boss.”
Carmen Stuart replied and said to Peter Simmons, “Mr. Simmons, please follow me.”
“Of course.”
Peter Simmons glanced at Greg Jensen, nodded, and followed Carmen Stuart away.
Greg Jensen led several people to the study, sat down behind the desk, and only then did he completely relax.
The trip to Danu was very fruitful, as he had obtained a large amount of rare medicinal herbs, and even managed to acquire a Pill Furnace.
Most importantly, he had finally gained a certain understanding of the Cultivation world’s structure.
If things went as planned, Aaron Gill’s Sect should be among those several Sects mentioned by Peter Simmons.
“Who will give an update on the situation in Jiangnan?”
After being silent for a while, Greg Jensen looked up at everyone; seeing their gaze fall on Issac Grey, he couldn’t help but frown.
Issac Grey smiled and said, “The control of the oil field has been completely reclaimed, and many of the industries that belonged to the Duncan Family have also been taken over by us.”
Upon hearing his report, everyone’s expression lightened, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Although Greg Jensen had thoroughly subdued them in the martial arts competition of the seven provinces, deep down some were still somewhat resistant.
However, any unwillingness and resistance dissipated after the downfall of the Duncan Family.
Because following Greg Jensen meant reaping rewards.
Without Greg Jensen in the past, they were always suppressed by the eighteen cities of Jiangnan, and many benefits that should have been theirs were taken away by these cities.
Now, having pledged loyalty to Greg Jensen, not only did they suffer no losses, but they also gained even greater benefits. How could they have any grievances?
“Hmm.”
After Issac Grey reported the Jiangnan situation, Greg Jensen asked, “What’s the situation with Walter Locke?”
The others exchanged glances, all falling silent.
Issac Grey hesitated a moment before saying, “Master Xu, it’s said that Walter Locke has somehow obtained a long-lost Cultivation Technique and is attempting to combine martial arts with cultivaton.”
Greg Jensen was startled and asked, “What do you mean?”
Issac Grey said, “I suspect he might be trying to break through to the Dao realm, to shatter the martial artist’s shackles, and enter the mythical realm of Cultivation.”
