Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 794 - 792: Treasure
Ge Dongxu saw the excitement on Yang Yinhou's face and felt very happy himself.
He had always held a unique and profound affection for Yang Yinhou, for he, like Dongxu, was a Direct Disciple of their master. Seeing him sometimes felt to Ge Dongxu like seeing his own master. Although they shared no blood relation, their bond ran deep in their veins, in their very bones.
"Brother, please keep these safe for me. I need to make another trip to the Sky Pit," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Yang Yinhou nodded repeatedly, then carefully stowed away the snake gallbladder and the two drops of Zhone Ling Milk, fearing they might be damaged.
Once Ge Dongxu saw Yang Yinhou had properly stored the snake gallbladder and Zhone Ling Milk, he set off again.
This time, however, he chose some people to accompany him, and had others bring along some tools like long ropes and sacks.
Beneath the Sky Pit, there were many valuable items, and Ge Dongxu needed some extra hands to help bring them back.
Moreover, he had Gan Lei send some of the other soldiers back to the mountain top camp, leaving only a few trusted people at the temporary camp at the foot of the mountain.
Bringing the selected fifty people back to the edge of the Sky Pit, Ge Dongxu instructed the leading officer, also a trusted subordinate of Gan Lei, before he leaped alone into the seemingly bottomless Sky Pit, leaving the soldiers who came with him pale-faced and frightened.
This time, Ge Dongxu returned to the bottom of the pit with ease.
Once at the bottom, Ge Dongxu first visited the cave they had discovered earlier.
The cave twisted and turned, with many forks along the way that Ge Dongxu had not investigated before; this time, naturally, he planned to explore them thoroughly.
Strangely enough, ever since Ge Dongxu had put away the Five Elements Qiankun Stone, his Divine Sense had resumed functioning normally underground.
As a result, Ge Dongxu's movements were much faster than before.
In no time at all, he had explored all the branches within the original cave and found nothing of particular interest, except for capturing some poisonous snakes, centipedes, and scorpions he encountered along the way and putting them into a sack.
Quickly returning to the underground plaza directly opposite the entrance of the pit, Ge Dongxu then followed the underground river to another cave entrance.
This cave entrance led upwards, but was much shallower than the other, with almost no branches. Ge Dongxu walked about a thousand meters, but the path ended, and he discovered no rare treasures along the way.
All of this had been within Ge Dongxu's expectations, yet the lack of discovery still left him slightly disappointed.
However, the thought of the many poisons, plants, and the large snake body submerged in the underground river within the Sky Pit—items that money could not buy—quickly rekindled his excitement, preparing him to turn around and head back.
Just as he was about to turn back, Ge Dongxu suddenly felt a few drafts of cold air seeping in through the cracks in the stone walls.
"Huh!" Ge Dongxu's interest piqued, he forcefully slapped the stone wall with his hand several times.
The force of Ge Dongxu's slap was naturally different from that of an ordinary person; with it, he discovered there was a space behind the stone wall.
In the darkness, Ge Dongxu's eyebrows lifted slightly as he immediately took out the Life and Death Dual Aspects Sword, initiated the sword technique, and began cutting into the stone wall.
The stone wall, under the illumination of the Sword Beam of the Life and Death Dual Aspects Sword, was like paper, continuously having large chunks of stone cut from it.
After "digging" for about three to four meters, suddenly there was emptiness ahead.
Then Ge Dongxu saw a cave, where boxes that clearly looked ancient were placed.
Ge Dongxu casually opened one, and under the headlamp's illumination, the opened box instantly reflected a dazzling golden glow.
Inside the box were stacks of gold bricks.
"Could it be? A treasure!" Ge Dongxu's eyes gleamed slightly, his face showing a hint of surprise.
He had not expected the coincidental link, that the treasure buried by the Japanese during World War II was connected to the Sky Pit Cave passage.
But obviously, the Japanese back then had not discovered that there was a void behind the stone wall, and even if they had, in their haste, they wouldn't have taken the effort to cause major disturbances by digging through the tough stone wall.
After all, a rock wall three to four meters thick might not require much effort for Ge Dongxu, but for ordinary people, both the effort and the arising disturbances would not be small.
There were easily a hundred treasure chests, most of which contained dazzling gold bricks, and others were filled with pure gold buddha statues, handicrafts, jewelry, and precious antique items. freёwebnoѵel.com
Ge Dongxu hefted a treasure chest filled with gold blocks; it weighed at least half a ton.
"It seems Tanaka Motoyoshi was right, the Japanese really buried nearly fifty tons of gold here during World War II, along with all sorts of valuable items," Ge Dongxu scanned the boxes in the cave and mentally calculated.
Even though Ge Dongxu was no longer short of money these days, and his yearning for money wasn't as intense as it was during his high school days, he couldn't help but feel his pulse quicken at this moment.
Because, calculated at the current price of gold, these golds would amount to about four billion RMB, and the value of other jewels and precious antique items was still beyond estimation. However, Ge Dongxu now had some understanding of jewels and estimated roughly that just these high-quality jewels alone, if sold on the market, could easily fetch seven to eight hundred million.
Of course, top-grade jewels like Imperial Green amongst those would certainly not be sold by Ge Dongxu for money, as he still needed good quality jade.
All in all, this batch of treasure was worth at least five billion RMB.
Just this fortune alone would suffice for Ge Dongxu to place in the top three of last year's Huaxia Country's rich list, not to mention that he also owned several highly profitable companies. During the annihilation of the Japanese Anri Organization, he had amassed over a hundred million US dollars, as well as some jewelries and antiques, and earlier this year in Australia, he made a little over ten million Australian dollars.
It can be said, with this batch of treasure, Ge Dongxu, who was not even twenty years old, had firmly become Huaxia Country's wealthiest person.
However, Ge Dongxu was, after all, a cultivator and soon resumed a calm demeanor.
His gaze shifted away from the treasure chests, beginning to survey his surroundings.
The place where the treasure chests were stored was clearly a small cave, but the entrance of the cave was securely blocked by stones, with only very small crevices letting in slivers of light and air, allowing a bit of airflow in the cave.
It was this slight airflow that led Ge Dongxu to discover the treasures hidden in this cave, something that would have been impossible for anyone else.
Of course, without being someone else, it would also be impossible to safely reach the bottom of the Sky Pit.
