I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

"Look, everyone!"

"This bed is the bed that Jiang He, the number one body refinement expert in our Great Xia Dynasty, once slept on!"

Wearing a white coat, Dean An looked energetic and personally acted as a "tour guide." Seeing someone about to touch the photo of Jiang He placed on the bedside table, he quickly stopped them, saying, "Hey, hey, hey... what are you doing? You can only look, not touch..."

"This is the only photo of Jiang He, the number one body refinement expert in our Great Xia, left in our hospital. What if it gets damaged?"

"Oh, right, everyone, take a look at this bed."

"This bed belongs to Wei Jian, the only Sword Master in the entire Northwest region... As you all know, Wei Jian's father is Wei Erhe, the martial arts grandmaster of Wucheng. Wei Jian has practiced martial arts since childhood and has a grandmaster father, so why was he sent to our hospital?"

"He only stayed in our hospital for a little over a month before he awakened his extraordinary abilities!"

A tourist pointed to the painting hanging above Wei Jian's bed and asked, "Dean An, is this a picture of Wei Jian?"

The painting depicts a man completely shrouded in a black robe.

He was covered in blood and carried a battle sword. Although it was just a photo, he exuded a strong sense of oppression!
This is footage taken when Jiang He returned after killing many members of the Heavenly Demon Cult and ferocious beasts during the beast tide outbreak in Wucheng. At the time, he used the alias "Feng Shaoyu," and the media also gave him a nickname: "Black-Robed War God."

Dean An shook his head and said, "This is not a photo of Wei Jian... This painting is a photo of Wei Jian's idol!"

"what?"

"Wei Jian's idol?"

Many tourists were very curious, and one asked, "Wei Jian is already the number one Sword Master in the Northwest, so his idol... could he be the legendary saint?"

Dean An smiled faintly and said, "No, no... Wei Jian's idol actually came from our hospital. He was originally a doctor at our hospital. You can search online for information about 'Black Robe War God' Feng Shaoyu."

"Dean An."

Just then, Dean An suddenly paused and turned to look around.

Jiang He's voice echoed in his mind, saying, "Don't bother looking, I'm in your office... Dean An, could you please come over here first?"

Dean An's expression changed drastically.

He hurriedly called a doctor to escort the tourists, while he himself, looking extremely anxious, ran towards his office, muttering to himself as he ran, "Oh no... why did this little devil suddenly come back?"

"I used his identity as a gimmick to promote our hospital without his consent..."

"What if he has a relapse? Won't he tear down our hospital?"

Don't tell me yet.

Dean An is over sixty years old, but he is very healthy and runs very fast. He can run to his office in one breath without his face turning red or his heart beating, and he is not even out of breath!

He looked at Jiang He sitting behind his desk, immediately put on a smiling face, and said, "Jiang He, when did you get back? You... you didn't even let me know you were back, so I could have organized a welcome party for you with the patients and the hospital's doctors and nurses!"

Rivers rotate and shift.

He turned to Dean An, speechless, and said, "I'm just going home, why are you throwing a welcome party?"

Forehead!
Dean An was taken aback at first.

He was immediately overjoyed and said, "Yes, yes, yes... Why hold a welcome party when we're coming home? We're family, there's no need to be so formal."

"correct!"

"I heard from the media that a great victory was won at Tianmen Pass. Did you participate in the battle? Were you wounded?"

Dean An showed great concern for Jiang He, asking him all sorts of questions. Jiang He didn't show the slightest impatience, answering each question before asking, "Dean An, what's the situation with my former residence?"

"well."

Dean An smiled awkwardly and said, "Our hospital has been expanding, right? We're a little short on funds, so I came up with this way to make some money... Of course, I'll stop it immediately if you don't want to."

There's no need to stop.

Jiang He said, "I gave you a lot of treasures last time. The money from selling them should be more than enough to renovate the hospital. How can we be short of money?"

Dean An gave a wry smile and said, "It's my fault. When I took those treasures to be appraised, the price given by the Martial Arts Administration was indeed reasonable... but I thought I would sell some of them first and then sell the rest slowly to see if the price could go up."

Instead of a price increase, all sorts of treasures have seen significant price drops!

"Forehead!"

Jiang He was taken aback at first, then he realized what was happening!
The domestic situation is very different now. With the removal of the malignant tumor that is the Heavenly Demon Sect and the establishment of Tianmen Pass in Kunlun Realm, a large amount of cultivation resources from Kunlun Realm have been transported back to Great Xia, which has led to a collective price drop in various cultivation materials in Great Xia!

Martial arts techniques and other related items have seen significant price reductions.

Jiang He did not blame Dean An for using "Jiang He's Former Residence" as a gimmick. Instead, he asked, "Dean An, were the things you said to the tourists earlier true?"

Dean An was taken aback: "What did you say?"

They're just fooling tourists.

They say all sorts of things, truth and falsehood.

When Jiang He asked that, he didn't know which sentence it was for a moment.
Jiang He: "You said that our Anning Mental Health Rehabilitation Center has a special geographical location, surrounded by a magnetic field, which is why so many extraordinary awakened individuals have been born!"

Jiang He knew his own situation perfectly well; he was simply playing with superhuman abilities.

The achievements of Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi have nothing to do with the hospital.

But Wei Jian truly awakened in the hospital, as did Feng Shaoyu, Chen Yu... If we also include the old director who burned himself to protect Wu Cheng back then, this Anning Mental Health Rehabilitation Center alone has produced four extraordinary awakeners!

This is very abnormal!
"what?"

"Is this what you're talking about?"

Dean An said, "I've seen some things in the old dean's notes. Of course, the old dean only said that our hospital is somewhat extraordinary, and didn't say anything else."

"Oh?"

Jiang He's eyes flickered slightly.

That old dean actually left notes?
After chatting for a few more minutes, Dean An asked Jiang He about the purpose of his return. Jiang He replied, "I've finished the medicine you prescribed for me last time... Could you prescribe more this time? What's the expiration date of those medicines?"

"never mind."

"Prescribe me a three-year supply of medicine at once. If that's not enough, call Yincheng and the other cities to send some over."

"It's alright, even if it's past its expiration date, it's not a big problem. I'm a body cultivator, so my physical body is a little stronger than that of ordinary people. It won't make me sick even if it's expired."

Dean An: "It will take some time to transfer people from other cities."

Jiang He said, "Just make the call, and I'll talk to Director Zhou and have him arrange for someone to deliver the goods."

The "Director Zhou" he mentioned was naturally Zhou Tong.

This former captain of the Wucheng Martial Arts Administration Enforcement Team has been living a very comfortable life these past few months since taking over Liu Feng's position as director... As the branch director, he receives a fixed amount of extra resources every month.

Moreover, with a higher position comes greater authority, and the discounts on purchasing cultivation materials from headquarters are even greater!

In addition, the influx of a large amount of resources from the Kunlun Realm into the Great Xia Dynasty allowed Zhou Tong to advance directly from the seventh-grade martial arts grandmaster to the ninth-grade grandmaster realm in just a few months!
When Jiang He came to find him, he was sitting behind his desk, which was piled with a thick stack of documents, and he was busy handling official business.

Knocked on the door.

Behind the desk, Zhou Tong said, "Come in." Jiang He stepped in and said, "Director Zhou."

Zhou Tong, who had been engrossed in processing documents, suddenly looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Jiang He, you're back?"

He quickly got up, walked out from behind his desk, and said hurriedly, "Quickly...sit down, sit down."

As he spoke, he personally brewed tea for Jianghe.

As the highest-ranking official in charge of a local branch of the Martial Arts Administration, Zhou Tong obviously knew more than the average person. He had even heard about Jiang He's single-handedly slaughtering hundreds of powerful demons on the banks of the Wanqu River at Tianmen Pass.

Chatted for a long time.

Jiang He explained his purpose for coming.

Zhou Tong said, "Don't worry, I'll contact the local branches immediately and have them send someone to deliver the medicine as soon as possible!"

After personally seeing Jiang He off from the Martial Arts Administration Bureau, Zhou Tong asked, "Um... Jiang He, when are you planning to return to Tianmen Pass?"

Jiang He said, "I'll be back in a couple of days. Is Director Zhou busy?"

Zhou Tong was a little embarrassed and said, "There is indeed something I would like to trouble you with, Jiang He... After you return to Tianmen Pass and meet Minister Qin, could you please put in a good word for me with him and get me removed from my position as bureau chief?"

"what?"

Jiang He asked, "Why would we withdraw?"

How many people want to be the director but can't? As the director of the Wucheng branch, Zhou Tong is practically the most powerful person in Wucheng, able to mobilize all available resources in the city.

Zhou Tong smiled bitterly: "There is no war in the country now, and those ferocious beasts will not launch a beast tide without the leadership of the beast king... Now many martial artists rush to Tianmen Pass as soon as they become grandmasters, but I, a grandmaster, am trapped and die in Wucheng. I heard that those martial artists who went to Tianmen Pass have obtained a lot of opportunities and their cultivation has increased rapidly!"

"I have already submitted my resignation three times."

"But headquarters always brushes me off by saying that the appointment and removal documents for bureau chiefs in various regions need to be personally reviewed by Minister Qin... Jiang He, I know you have a good relationship with Minister Qin, so please put in a good word for me. If all else fails, you could transfer Director Liu back!"

Jiang He chuckled and said, "I can put in a good word for you, but there's no suitable person to take your place in Wucheng right now. As for bringing Uncle Liu back, don't even mention it... I'm afraid Uncle Liu would beat you to death if he found out!"

After leaving the Martial Arts Administration Bureau, Jiang He walked into a restaurant.

The restaurant is small, but the ambiance is elegant.

As soon as Jiang He entered, he was recognized by the waiter, who screamed and attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant. They all grabbed Jiang He to sign autographs and take photos. It took a full half hour before Jiang He finally fled to the private room and said, "Give me 5 catties of hand-pulled noodles... and one of these sand onion side dishes too."

We also ordered a few meat dishes, a few vegetable dishes, a bowl of wide noodles, and a bowl of Wucheng specialty steamed buns.

A short while later, the restaurant owner personally delivered it to Jiang He.

They even brewed Jiang He a pot of the shop's best "Eight Treasure Tea" for free.

Eat and drink enough.

After taking his medicine, Jiang He went out to pay the bill, but the owner refused to accept it. Jiang He glared at him and said, "Damn it, it's only a few hundred yuan worth of food, what are you arguing about with me here..."

The shop owner was frightened by Jiang He.

He suddenly remembered...

This man, regarded by the people of Wucheng as the "Pride of Wucheng" and the "Number One Body Refining Expert of the Great Xia Dynasty," is actually a mental patient. There is quite a bit of discussion about this online. Some say that Jiang He has recovered, while others say that Jiang He's nervous system was damaged by the poison of the Heavenly Demon Sect and he will never recover.

The shopkeeper quickly calculated the bill and said, "Mr. Jiang, the total is 1388... Let's round it down to 1380."

"........."

Jiang He was taken aback and said, "Wait... why is it so expensive? Let me see the bill!"

Hey!
Jiang He glanced at the bill and was dumbfounded.

"128 yuan for a pound of hand-pulled mutton?"

"Cucumber salad for 16? That portion probably doesn't even use a third of a cucumber, right?"

After venting his frustrations, Jiang He paid the bill and immediately called the price bureau as soon as he left.

"Hello!"

"I am Jiang He, and I want to file a complaint under my real name..."

After strolling around Wucheng, Jiang He went to a pharmacy and bought several large boxes of "Twenty-Four Flavor Rehmannia Pills." He then left Wucheng and headed straight for Helan Mountain.

Today, a demon palace has been built in the Helan Mountains, a place where the demon race of the Great Xia Dynasty passed on their demonic arts.

The demon saint from Helan Mountain went to Tianmen Pass, and the one in charge of guarding this demon palace was "Silver Moon Wolf," who had previously provided support to Jianghe on several occasions.

Silver Moon Wolf still maintained her "silver-haired girl" human form, with a curvaceous figure and wearing a Lolita outfit, looking like a girl who had stepped out of an anime. She had naturally heard some rumors about Jiang He at "Tianmen Pass" and was very respectful, immediately arranging for her subordinates to prepare a "feast" for Jiang He.

Jiang He waved his hand and said, "I've just eaten, so there's no need to prepare a banquet. I came to Helan Mountain today to ask you for help with something."

Xiao Yinmei said, "It is my honor to be able to relieve Mr. Jiang's worries."

Jiang He cut to the chase and asked, "Do you have any experts in Helan Mountain, like pangolins, who are skilled in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of martial arts technique)? I need to explore an underground place and I need an expert in earth-遁 to guide me underground."

"pangolin?"

Little Silver Girl thought for a moment and said, "We don't have any pangolin-like demons in our Helan Mountain Demon Palace, but we do have one who is good at earth escape. She is currently at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. I wonder if that's enough?"

"Enough, enough!"

Xiao Yinmei said, "Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment, I will go and call her over."

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, Little Silver Girl led a chubby girl into the Demon Palace.

After being introduced, Jiang He learned that the girl's name was "Little Dragon Girl," a name given to her by Xiao Yinmei!
Jiang He initially thought that Xiao Yinmei had learned about the story of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" in the human world and deliberately named her "Little Dragon Girl." However, after inquiring, he learned that... the little chubby girl's true form was an earth dragon, hence the name "Little Dragon Girl"!
Earth dragon.

It evolved from earthworms and is naturally adept at burrowing underground.

Jiang He knows this stuff very well; he's refined plenty of "Earth Dragon Essence Blood" before.

That evening, Jiang He brought "Little Dragon Girl" back to the Anning Mental Health Rehabilitation Center, pointed to the ground, and said, "This is it, take me down here."

Little Dragon Girl was a little embarrassed and said shyly, "My lord, my underground escape might have made quite a commotion..."

Jiang He laughed and said, "It's alright, just take me down."

Little Dragon Girl added, "Please step back a bit, my lord. After I disappear underground, you can follow me."

She transformed, revealing her true form as a giant earthworm thirty feet long, and slammed her head into the ground...

Rumble!
The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.

The hard ground shattered, and amidst the flying dust, the giant earthworm had vanished without a trace, leaving only a huge, bottomless pit in its wake!

"........."

The people of Jianghe were dumbfounded!

You call this "burrowing underground"? (End of Chapter)
