"Can you walk?" Jiang Mo asked.

Lin Tian nodded: "It's okay, but I'm a little weak."

"That's good, let's go back now," Jiang Mo said. "The company probably can't wait any longer."

The group packed their belongings, left the temporary base, and returned to the parking lot along the path.

On the way, Chen Jing couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Jiang, is this investigation really over?"

Jiang Mo nodded: "For the time being, yes, the Netherworld Gu has been retrieved."

"Those who were attacked but did not die will gradually recover."

"However, there are still many secrets within the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley that require further investigation."

He had the wooden box tucked into his arms, and he already had a plan in mind.

Those so-called "Gu God's Legacy" will be of great help to his cultivation.

The memories and power he gained from the stone statue gave him a deeper understanding of Gu magic.

Back in the parking lot, Wang Dashan warmly greeted them and inquired about the progress of the investigation.

Jiang Mo gave a brief explanation, and then the group got into the car and returned to Beijiang City.

On the way back, Jiang Mo looked at the mountain scenery outside the window and pondered his next plan.

He has a responsibility to report the whole story of this incident to General Manager Zhao.

They are more concerned with how to use their newly acquired power and knowledge to elevate their own level of understanding.

And that underground space, the remnant left behind by the former Gu God.

Perhaps there are even more secrets waiting for him to uncover...

The car entered Beijiang City and soon arrived at the airport.

Chen Jing has already contacted General Manager Zhao and reported the basic situation of the investigation.

Mr. Zhao was very satisfied and said he would personally meet with Jiang Mo and the old man.

Before boarding, I glanced at the distant mountains.

A strange feeling welled up in Jiang Mo's heart.

This is not just an ordinary valley, but a place full of mysterious power.

The plane slowly took off, leaving Beijiang City and flying towards the company headquarters.

Jiang Mo closed his eyes and began to organize the memories and power in his mind.

Those ancient Gu techniques and secret methods.

Those long-lost techniques of Gu refining, those supernatural powers that only the Gu God can master...

All of these will become part of his power.

To help him establish himself in this world, and to help him protect those who need protection.

......

Company headquarters, Mr. Zhao's office.

"Mr. Jiang, thank you so much for your hard work this time."

General Manager Zhao warmly shook Jiang Mo's hand, "The matter of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Grain is finally settled."

Jiang Mo nodded slightly: "Mr. Helian has agreed not to harm the innocent anymore, and the Netherworld Gu has been withdrawn."

"However, there are still many aspects of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley that are worth studying."

"I suggest the company assign someone to conduct a follow-up investigation."

Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "It's all arranged."

"However, Mr. Jiang, have you made any special discoveries?"

Jiang Mo thought for a moment, then said, "There are some ancient records of Gu techniques and Gu worm samples in the snake cave."

"I brought some back, hoping they will be helpful for the company's research."

He made no mention of the underground space and the stone statue.

The "Gu God's Legacy" in the wooden box was not displayed.

Some secrets are not suitable to be revealed yet.

Mr. Zhao nodded: "That's wonderful!"

"By the way, the reward and the precious Gu worms I promised you are ready and can be delivered at any time."

Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "No rush, let's deal with this matter first."

After leaving President Zhao's office, Jiang Mo went straight back to his residence in the Dark Fortress.

Zhang Chulan and Chen Duo had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Jiang Mo return, they immediately came to greet him.

"I'm fine." Jiang Mo smiled and then looked at Chen Duo.

"Your antidote came in very handy, saving someone's life."

Chen Duo's face lit up with a delighted smile: "Really? That's wonderful!"

Jiang Mo put her backpack on the table, then sat down on the recliner by the window and let out a long sigh.

Jiang Mo remained silent for a moment, then his gaze fell on the wooden box on the table.

"Some things might change our understanding of Gu magic."

Jiang Mo's tone was calm, but his eyes gleamed with an inexplicable light.

Zhang Chulan and Chen Duo exchanged a glance, both noticing that Jiang Mo was unusual.

"Big brother, have you... changed in any way?" Zhang Chulan asked tentatively.

Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "I suppose so, in the snake cave of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley."

"I encountered some unexpected things."

As he spoke, he slowly opened the wooden box.

An ancient and mysterious aura instantly filled the entire room.

This caused Zhang Chulan and Chen Duo to involuntarily take a few steps back.

“This is…” Chen Duo looked at the items in the wooden box in surprise, especially the book “Gu Jing”.

"I've never sensed this kind of Gu energy before; it's too pure!"

Chen Duo, a former Gu-possessed saint, possesses an extremely keen perception of Gu.

Even she was awestruck by the aura emanating from the wooden box.

"The *Gu Jing* (Scripture of Gu), the Primal Gu Egg, the Gu God Seal, and the Gu God Pill."

Jiang Mo introduced them one by one, "These are the 'Gu God's Legacy' that the Helian family has guarded for generations."

"The God of Gu?" Zhang Chulan asked in surprise, "The legendary God of Gu?"

Jiang Mo nodded: "Deep within the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley, I discovered an underground space where a stone statue of the Gu God resides."

"When I touched that stone statue, I gained some memories and power."

"According to those memories, the Gu God is not some myth or legend."

"Instead, he was a powerful figure from ancient times who was proficient in Gu poison."

"He has scattered his knowledge and expertise throughout the world, waiting for those destined to discover and inherit it."

Chen Duo asked softly, "Then, Brother Jiang Mo, what are you doing now...?"

"I am still Jiang Mo, only with more memories and power than before."

Jiang Mo smiled and replied, "But I won't call myself the God of Gu; that would be too arrogant."

Zhang Chulan breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as Big Brother is still Big Brother, that's good."

Jiang Mo turned to Chen Duo: "Chen Duo, you still have the effects of the Primal Gu in your body. The things I brought back this time might be able to help you."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Chen Duo's eyes: "Really?"

The former Gu-body Saint Child, although he has broken free from the control of the Medicine Immortal Society.

However, the primordial Gu within her body remained, eroding her life force every moment.

Jiang Mo took out the "Gu Scripture" from the wooden box, turned to a certain page, and then took out the original Gu egg.

"The Primal Gu was not originally an evil entity."

"On the contrary, it is the purest form of Gu, capable of evolving into various Gu worms."

"The methods of the Medicine Immortal Society are wrong."

"They only know how to forcibly implant the primal Gu into the human body, but they don't know how to truly control it."

A tiny light shone from Jiang Mo's fingertips, which he gently touched Chen Duo's forehead.

"I'll first help stabilize the primal Gu within your body and lessen its corrosive effects on you."

A warm energy flowed from Jiang Mo's fingertips into Chen Duo's body, making her feel more comfortable than ever before.
