e and his excellent relationship with the city party secretary, but he didn't know about his specific background because they were not very familiar with each other.However, when he came home a few mo...Chapter 540: Detoxification

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Master Whitecloud was momentarily stunned. Back then when he first saw the ape at night, it wasn't very clear to him either. Although he had felt that the ape was quite large back then, he hadn't expected it to be this big. Despite his extensive life experience and years of cultivation, he had never seen such a massive ape before.

"Let's hurry up and leave!" Without waiting for Master Whitecloud to respond, Xiao Yu immediately instructed them again.

"Alright!" Li Suijun also responded in agreement. The three of them then rushed towards their campsite.

About half an hour later, the trio arrived at the entrance of the campsite, where several fully armed soldiers were patrolling.

"Grandpa Li, Xiao Yu, Master Daoist, you're back!" Seeing Xiao Yu and the others return, Ye Fei, who had been standing by the campsite entrance all along, revealed a look of surprise and joy as he said to them.

After Xiao Yu left, Ye Fei was extremely worried. He didn't want anything bad to happen to Xiao Yu; after all, Xiao Yu was his eldest brother's only descendant.

"Uncle Ye, find me a quieter tent and prepare a pot and stove for me!" Hearing Ye Fei's greeting, Xiao Yu nodded at him before saying in no uncertain terms without any politeness.

"Sure thing! Follow me!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Ye Fei said to Xiao Yu. After that, he gave Li Suijun a nod and led Xiao Yu towards one of the tents.

After entering the tent, Xiao Yu took out the medicinal herbs from his bag, then retrieved the detoxifying grass and the ape’s blood.

Xiao Yu had collected four types of rare and precious medicinal herbs from the small herb garden in the swamp. These herbs were: Polygonatum sibiricum, Fo-Ti, Lingzhi, and Poria cocos. The minimum age for these herbs was five hundred years old.

Xiao Yu tidied up these medicinal herbs and put them aside, then took out a folded cloth bag from his fabric pouch.

Once Xiao Yu opened the bag, its true appearance was revealed. One side of this bag had twenty miniature bags sewn onto it, each with the names of different medicinal herbs written on them.

In fact, this bag was made by Xiao Yu's mother for him to carry commonly used auxiliary medicinal herbs when going out in case of emergencies.

Xiao Yu took out five types of medicinal herbs from his fabric pouch and added several plants of detoxifying grass into the pot for boiling.

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and then took out a porcelain bottle from his bag, pouring several black herbal medicine pills out of it. Then he crushed these pills and put them into the pot.

There was no way around it; there were no tools available in the wilderness to boil medicinal herbs, so he had to use the pot instead. Thankfully, this wouldn't significantly affect the efficacy of the medicine.

Camp entrance!

"Ye Fei, order the joint forces from the thirteen locations in Xiangxi and local garrison troops to control the mountain pass filled with thick fog from the peak. No one is allowed entry without orders, and this must be communicated to the garrison troops as well. Nobody can go down the mountain peak; not even them, otherwise military law will be enforced!"

Right after Ye Fei brought Xiao Yu into the tent, Li Suijun instructed him.

"Yes!" Upon hearing Li Suijun's words, Ye Fei quickly saluted and responded. Although he didn't know why Li Suijun gave such instructions, his grandfather would surely have a reason for issuing them.

And given the relationship between him and Li Suijun, Li Suijun would definitely explain to him later. So after responding, Ye Fei issued orders to the middle-aged officer standing not far from him.

The middle-aged officer immediately went over to make a phone call upon receiving Ye Fei's instructions.

After giving instructions to Ye Fei and others, Li Suijun walked into a corner of the camp and threw the corpse of that ape on the ground.

A little while ago, both Ye Fei and the patrolling soldiers saw what was slung over Old Ye's shoulder. When they saw it, they were startled.

They had seen quite a few apes before, but none of them were even one-third the size of this one. It was their first time seeing such a large creature like this.

In particular, the soldiers and the middle-aged officer standing at Zhang Dahan's tent entrance watched Li Suijun carrying that ape with ease. This left them speechless.

When Li Suijun arrived earlier, he said he wanted to find Xiao Yu and others. The middle-aged officer initially harbored disdain for such an old man, despite his robust appearance; after all, the older one gets, the weaker one becomes due to a decline in vital energy.

For someone like Li Suijun to look for Xiao Yu and others Although he didn't say it out loud, the officer was full of disdain in his heart.

But now, seeing how effortlessly Li Suijun carried that ape, even this middle-aged officer couldn't help but take a fresh look at him.

The appearance of this ape was quite imposing, comparable to the size of gorillas seen on TV, indicating its sheer mass. Moreover, it could be observed from how far he had traveled that despite bringing back such a heavy load, Grandpa didn't break a sweat or appear out of breath, which clearly demonstrated his capability.

The middle-aged officer was unaware of Li Suijun's identity; all he knew was that the old man might have been someone important from Beijing. Otherwise, those two bigwigs from the headquarters in Beijing wouldn't have followed this elderly man's instructions so meticulously.

"Reporting to Commander-in-Chief! I've contacted the garrison stationed here. They will send people over shortly!" After making a call, the middle-aged man quickly ran back and saluted Li Suijun before speaking.

This middle-aged officer was the head of the Thirteenth Bureau's Hunan branch with considerable authority. Mobilizing local troops wasn't too difficult for him.

Hearing this, Li Suijun nodded approvingly. "Brother White, you may go ahead and get things ready."

Master Cloud, upon hearing what Li Suijun said, simply nodded his head before heading towards Zhang Dahai’s tent to keep watch over them since Xiao Yu was busy with the medicinal brew and his own medical skills were quite decent.

The middle-aged officer also turned around to head toward the camp entrance, taking over Ye Fei's role.

"Little Fly, contact Beijing and arrange for a team of researchers. Also, bring equipment to prevent toxic fumes; they need to prepare to conduct an investigation in the valley bottom!" Li Suijun instructed Ye Fei once Master Cloud had left.

“Grandpa Li! What’s up Is there something down below” After hearing what Li Suijun said, Ye Fei felt that things didn't seem right. Not only was he setting up troops to guard the area but also dispatching a research team; clearly, there must be something significant in the valley bottom! Thus, he asked Li Suijun.

Seeing no one around them, Li Suijun began recounting their observations from the valley bottom.

Hearing what Li Suijun described, Ye Fei was stunned. He never would have thought there could be such an existence in that valley bottom.

Especially when he heard about that mysterious scene, he absolutely wouldn't believe it to be a natural formation. Such a perfectly round dome exactly covering the entire small village couldn’t possibly be naturally formed; hence, it must be man-made.

This was precisely what Li Suijun had in mind as well; thus, he planned on having Master Cloud join them to see if there would be any gains. After all, Master White now belonged to their group, and even from his master's generation onwards, the White Cloud Temple had joined forces with them.

“Grandpa Li, how should we handle this ape” It took Ye Fei a moment before he could gather his thoughts, pointing at the ape and asking Li Suijun.

"Hmm... Let's keep it here for now. But no one is allowed to get close as its claws are highly toxic, lest anyone gets hurt! We'll take this thing back to Beijing once we leave here and let those scientists study it."

After hearing Ye Fei's words, Li Suijun thought for a moment and then spoke to Ye Fei.

After finishing his conversation with Ye Fei, Li Suijun waved at him.

Seeing Old Li wave at him, Ye Fei walked away from there and took out his phone to contact the research personnel.

Li Suijun also arrived at Zhang Dahai's tent. Inside the tent, Daoist Master Baiyun was sitting cross-legged on the ground. When Li Suijun entered the room, it seemed that Daoist Master Baiyun had heard something and opened his eyes to look at Li Suijun.

Seeing that Daoist Master Baiyun had opened his eyes, Li Suijun said to him, "Baiyun, how are they doing"

About Daoist Master Baiyun's medical skills, Li Suijun knew a little. Although Daoist Master Baiyun’s medical skills didn't reach the level of an expert, he was still much better than some so-called famous doctors.

"There are no major issues for now, but I feel that the effect of sealing their heart meridians with acupuncture is gradually weakening!" After hearing Li Suijun's words, Daoist Master Baiyun thought about the pulse diagnosis results when he just felt Zhang Dahai and others' pulses. He then said to Li Suijun.

Hearing what Daoist Master Baiyun had to say, Li Suijun understood his meaning and nodded solemnly.

Now they could only hope that Xiao Yu would quickly finish making the medicine. After all, Zhang Dahai and others might die at any moment, and the effect of sealing their heart meridians with acupuncture was gradually weakening, adding several unexpected factors to the situation.

About an hour later, Xiao Yu carried a pot from another tent to Zhang Dahai's tent, while Ye Fei followed him closely behind.

"Uncle Ye, come here and let some soldiers help you. Have them give this medicine to the wounded!" After putting down the pot on the ground in the tent, Xiao Yu said to Ye Fei who was standing behind him.

After speaking with Ye Fei, Xiao Yu took out a spoon and bowl. He used the spoon to scoop up the cooked medicinal herbs into the bowl, then walked towards Zhang Dahai.

Around Zhang Dahai, Xiao Yu opened his mouth and poured all of this medicine inside. He also gave some medicine to Song Hushan in the same way.

Meanwhile, Ye Fei had already given the rest of the soldiers their doses from the pot.

"Burp... burp... burp..." About twenty minutes later, Zhang Dahai's stomach made a drum-like rumbling noise. Then there was a continuous low sound coming out of his belly before an unpleasant smell started to fill up the tent. (To be continued...)their heads down and focused solely on eating the hearty stew, afraid that stopping would mean missing out on a bite.Lǐ Suíjūn saw that these people were not influenced by his words and couldn't help...
