Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2496: Chapter 2495: A Treasure from Head to Toe!

Like a ghost, Lin Dong’s figure shuttled through the Earthfire Region, his eyes sharp as a hawk, tightly locking onto the flustered Earth Spirit Beast ahead.

This demon beast should have been the overlord of this area.

However, at the moment, it was like a homeless dog, just seeking to escape to safety.

"Hmph, do you think you can escape?" Lin Dong sneered in his heart, not slowing his pace. Each step seemed to tread upon the void, light and swift.

In the blink of an eye, the Earth Spirit Beast darted into a concealed cave entrance. There, a scorching Earthfire Barrier rose like a natural blockade, attempting to halt Lin Dong’s path.

The flames roared, reflecting off Lin Dong’s determined face. The corner of his mouth curled up in a playful smile.

"A mere Earthfire Barrier, how could it stop me?" With that, Lin Dong lightly waved his hands, and within his palms, a flame of verdant green mingling with crystalline blue soared up. This was the third transformation of Alchemist Fire he had just cultivated—"Glazed Verdant Fire."

This flame, not only was the temperature astonishing, but it also contained purifying power, capable of melting all things.

At Lin Dong’s thought, the Glazed Verdant Fire transformed into a sharp, unparalleled Fire Sword. Its tip lightly pointed, as if it could pierce through all obstacles in the world.

With a clear whistle, the Fire Sword suddenly slashed down, colliding with the Earthfire Barrier.

Instantly, the booming sound was earth-shaking, fire splattered everywhere. The seemingly indestructible barrier was sliced open as easily as if it were made of paper, revealing the passageway leading deep into the cave.

Upon entering the cave, an even richer spiritual energy mingled with heat surged in. Lin Dong’s gaze was like a torch, scanning the surroundings, eventually fixing on the Earth Spirit Beast in the corner.

It trembled all over, its eyes full of despair and unwillingness, but more was a profound fear of Lin Dong.

"Human, don’t push to the brink!" The Earth Spirit Beast’s voice was hoarse and deep, with a hint of pleading.

However, Lin Dong’s response was cold and direct: "In the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, the strong survive, the weak are eliminated. Since you chose to oppose me, be prepared to bear the consequences."

After those words, the battle erupted once more.

Lin Dong’s figure moved like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, directly charging at the Earth Spirit Beast.

His physical body was incredibly strong. Each punch and leg motion was accompanied by sonic booms, forcing the Earth Spirit Beast to retreat step by step. Its flesh was instantly covered in ghastly, blood-dripping holes.

At the same time, Lin Dong’s mental power quietly gathered, transforming into an invisible sword, launching another fierce confrontation with the Earth Spirit Beast in the spirit world.

The Sword of Spiritual Power was extremely sharp. Every swing caused the Earth Spirit Beast’s spirit world to tremble violently, seemingly on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

As time passed, the Earth Spirit Beast’s resistance grew weaker and weaker. Its body was almost entirely destroyed by Lin Dong, and its spirit world was tottering, on the brink of annihilation.

"Boom!!" As Lin Dong’s "Wind Fire Thunder Heaven-Slaying Sword" slashed down, the Earth Spirit Beast was finally pierced through by Lin Dong’s sword, completely losing its vitality.

Lin Dong held a long sword, the tip slightly trembling, still bearing the dried bloodstains from the fierce battle with the Earth Spirit Beast.

His breathing was slightly hurried, but his eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Finally, it’s over." Lin Dong murmured, looking at the massive entity not far away — the Earth Spirit Beast’s corpse.

This demon beast, possessing terrifying abilities to manipulate souls, was a long-awaited trial object for countless martial artists and also an extremely dangerous existence.

And now, it lay there quietly, no longer displaying its former ferocity.

Carefully, Lin Dong approached.

He knew full well that although the Earth Spirit Beast was dead, handling its remains still required utmost caution to avoid triggering its residual power.

He first used spiritual power to investigate, confirming the Earth Spirit Beast had completely lost its vitality before slowly squatting down.

According to ancient texts, two supreme treasures were hidden within the Earth Spirit Beast: one was the ’Soul Stabilizing Bead’, capable of strengthening the Spirit and Soul, enhancing mental power. This bead is also one of the three main ingredients for refining the Nirvana Pill.

The second is the ’Demon Core’, containing powerful fire attribute energy.

These two items are invaluable treasures for martial artists.

Lin Dong took a deep breath, his hands gently gliding over the beast’s scales, as hard as iron, searching for a way inside its body.

After a careful exploration, he finally located a seemingly inconspicuous slit on the beast’s abdomen, which was the most vulnerable part of the Earth Spirit Beast and the place where treasures were hidden.

He gathered all his spiritual power, infusing it into the tip of his sword. With a clear whistle, the long sword transformed into a streak of light, piercing precisely into the slit.

Then, using finesse, Lin Dong slowly drove the sword deeper, as if cutting through a piece of hard jade stone.

Moments later, with a light "crack" sound, the Earth Spirit Beast’s abdomen was slowly cut open, a rich demonic energy mixed with faint spiritual energy emanating, overwhelmingly foul.

Lin Dong endured the discomfort, his gaze sharp as he swiftly searched inside the beast.

The first thing that caught his eye was a prayer bead emitting a faint blue glow, crystal clear—that indeed was the legendary ’Soul Stabilizing Bead’.

"Sure enough, it’s the Soul Stabilizing Bead, wonderful, one of the three main ingredients for the Nirvana Pill, the Soul Stabilizing Bead is now in hand." The Sovereign Witch’s voice of surprise came from within the Dragon Ring.

Lin Dong was also pleasantly surprised, carefully extracting it. The surface of the Soul Stabilizing Bead flowed with mysterious runes, seemingly containing the mysteries of heaven and earth.

He knew well the importance of this Soul Stabilizing Bead!

He carefully stored it within the Dragon Ring Space, cherishing it like a supreme treasure.

Next, Lin Dong’s gaze fell on a not-so-distant sphere with a demonic glow—the Earth Spirit Beast’s ’Demon Core’.

This Earth Spirit Beast’s strength was not weak, equivalent to a First Heaven Realm Warrior of human martial artists! Such a powerful Demon Core contained unimaginable energy.

Of course, the Demon Core is not like Heavenly and Earthly treasures, Lin Dong naturally couldn’t directly absorb and refine it. However, it is excellent material for refining Dan medicines.

Many fourth-tier and above Dan medicines had the powerful demon beast’s Demon Core as one of their main ingredients.

At this moment, he quickly retrieved the Demon Core from the Earth Spirit Beast’s corpse.

This Demon Core was dark red, its surface covered with intricate patterns, exuding enticing fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Holding the Demon Core in his hand, he felt the surge of energy pulsing in his palm, muttering to himself:

"This Earth Spirit Beast belongs to the spiritual demon beast category. If a five-hundred-year-old mental power herb can be found, a top-grade fourth-tier Soul Supplement Pill could be refined."

A top-grade fourth-tier Soul Supplement Pill is somewhat similar to a Deadwood Dan.

However, a Deadwood Dan is for restoring a martial artist’s Inner Qi. After a battle, a martial artist under the Heavenly Realm could rapidly reach the peak with a single Deadwood Dan.

As for the Soul Supplement Pill, it’s for replenishing mental power. Spiritual Power Monks below the fortieth level could restore their mental power to the peak with one Soul Supplement Pill.

Lin Dong had previously dreamed of refining a Soul Supplement Pill, but he could never find the raw materials.

Now, finding a crucial ingredient for refining a Soul Supplement Pill, he was naturally overjoyed.

"Lin Dong, collect the entire corpse of this Earth Spirit Beast, it is indeed full of treasures. The scales can be crafted into armor comparable to the Sky Boundary Saint Body’s defensive armor, its blood can be refined into Blood Qi Pills, and if its flesh is cooked, not only is it delicious, but for warriors of lower strength, it’s also a Great Tonic Item..." the Sovereign Witch reminded from within the Dragon Ring Space.

Lin Dong nodded continuously, this Earth Spirit Beast was practically equivalent to a Medicine King, its entire body was a treasure.

He naturally would not waste it.
