Mad Doctor No. 9

The raging power of the earth veins, guided by the starlight chains, split off a small portion and directed it into deeper and more stable earth veins. Another small portion was neutralized and transformed by Wang Tian's stellar power, while the remaining small portion, under his guidance, followed the original structure of the altar and the residual runes, and was released into the underground space in a gentler way.

It is extremely dangerous. If one is not careful, Wang Tian will be smashed to pieces, and the explosion of the earth veins will occur prematurely.

Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment, each second feeling like an entire year.

Blood flowed from Wang Tian's seven orifices, his body trembled slightly, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Finally, after several centuries, the violent energy fluctuations in the crack gradually subsided.

The light of the starlight chains dimmed, but the surge of earth vein power was contained!

"It's...it's done." Wang Tian said weakly, then could no longer hold on, his vision went black, and he fell backward.

Before he lost consciousness, he felt a hand supporting him; it was Zhang Tianshi.

A moment later, a warm feeling came over him, and Wang Tian slowly woke up.

He found himself lying in a clean and tidy tent, covered with a thin blanket. Although his internal energy was depleted, the injuries to his meridians and internal organs were rapidly healing under the influence of a gentle and effective medicine.

"President Wang, you're awake!" Qin Yuwei exclaimed in surprise.

She, Zhang Qingyun, and Su Qingxuan were also there, guarding the bedside, their eyes filled with tears, their faces full of joy.

"How many hours have you slept? In the underground cave..." Wang Tian said hoarsely.

"You've been unconscious for three days!" Zhang Qingyun walked in carrying hot water. "The underground cave crisis has been resolved! The Yin energy has dissipated, and the earth's veins have returned to calm. Only the entrance became somewhat unstable due to the impact of that force earlier, but it has now been completely sealed and reinforced."

The people outside have all woken up and are still recovering.

Master, you really did save thousands of people this time!

Su Qingxuan said softly, "This time, Chairman Wang deserves great credit."

It has been decided that you will be awarded the highest-ranking "National Protection Medal," as well as the leading role in the subsequent exploration and research of the Jiuyou Cave Ruins, and the right of priority allocation.

Zhang Tianshi and Master Yuxu have both praised you to the skies, saying you will become a pillar of the Chinese martial arts world in the future.

Wang Tian smiled faintly, not taking these empty titles to heart.

What he cared more about was his own gains.

He examined his body internally and found that although he was still very weak, he had not suffered much damage. Moreover, after this period of intense exertion, he had gained a better understanding of his own strength, and his Astrological Body Tempering Technique had shown signs of improvement.

Most importantly, there is the "Supreme Yin Mystic Crystal" and the last drop of "Earth Vein Life Essence," two rare treasures that are hard to come by.

"Master, this was left by Zhang Tianshi before he left. He said it was to express his gratitude to you, and also to express his apology." Qin Yuwei handed over an old wooden box.

Wang Tian opened the jade slip, inside which was a fragment of a scroll called "General Outline of the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin Thunder Technique" and a talisman called "Purple Heaven Divine Thunder".

The bamboo slips contain the essence of the supreme thunder magic of Longhu Mountain. Although incomplete, they are of great help to Wang Tian in comprehending the power of thunder and lightning and perfecting his star attack techniques.

As for the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Talisman, it goes without saying that it is an extremely powerful treasure, whether used for saving one's life or for attacking.

Yu Xuzi also sent over a copy of "Annotations on the Taiji Yin Yang Sword Intent," which recorded Wang Tian's lifelong insights into swordsmanship and could be used as a reference for his swordsmanship practice.

In addition, the military and relevant departments also donated a large number of rare medicinal materials and rare metals as a token of their gratitude.

It can be said that although this trip to the Nine Netherworld Caves was fraught with peril, Wang Tian's gains were unprecedented! His strength, his reputation, his connections, and his treasures all saw tremendous improvements! He went from a "powerful figure in Jiangnan" to a "pillar of the nation"!

After Wang Tian woke up and rested for a few days, the crisis in western Sichuan was completely resolved, and relevant personnel began to withdraw one after another.

The local government and the military jointly held a grand celebration, partly to commend those who had made contributions, and partly to appease the public and demonstrate their strength.

The banquet was held at the best hotel in the area. Among the invitees were Wang Tian, ​​Zhang Tianshi, Yu Xuzi, Shan Yue, Li Ren, and others, as well as local leaders, representatives from various sects, and important figures from other regions who had come after hearing about the event. It was a very high-profile event.

Wang Tian was the main character at this banquet.

He changed into a sharp suit. Although he was young, he had a calm demeanor honed by the experience of great battles, and the air of treating Zhang Tianshi and others as equals, even subtly considering himself the chief, which was enough to make everyone present understand his importance.

At the start of the banquet, the leaders delivered speeches, praising the courage and contributions of the action team, and especially commending Wang Tian for his heroic act of "turning the tide and saving the world." They announced on the spot that Wang Tian would be awarded the "National Protection Medal" and other honors, which was met with thunderous applause.

Zhang Tianshi and Yu Xuzi also expressed their opinions, praising Wang Tian's strength, courage, and sense of responsibility. Their words were full of admiration, once again proving Wang Tian's status among the extraordinary experts in China.

Wang Tian simply said thank you, his humble attitude revealing the demeanor of a highly accomplished person.

As the banquet entered the free discussion phase, Wang Tian was surrounded by a group of people.

Some people are genuinely respectful, some come to see a doctor, and some simply want to get to know each other.

Wang Tianjie remained calm, showing neither excessive enthusiasm nor excessive rudeness.

However, just as the atmosphere was harmonious, a voice suddenly rang out.

"President Wang truly deserves to be called one of the best among the younger generation. I admire him." A middle-aged man in an expensive suit, holding a glass of wine, walked over with a hint of arrogance on his face.

Behind him followed several distinguished-looking people.

"I am Zhao Yuanqi, a member of the Zhao family in the capital."

I've heard that Chairman Wang is not only skilled in martial arts and medicine, but also far surpasses ordinary people in alchemy, even being able to refine pills of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Dan level.

"I just don't know if Chairman Wang has any left? My Zhao family is willing to offer a high price to buy them; Chairman Wang, please feel free to name your price."

What kind of place is the Zhao family in the capital? They are one of the most powerful families in China, with deep roots and extensive influence, holding a pivotal position in both the military and business worlds.

As one of the most influential figures among the younger generation of the Zhao family, Zhao Yuanqi's words carry considerable weight.

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Many eyes were on Wang Tian, ​​waiting for his answer.

The Zhao family is powerful, but Wang Tian is currently riding high and is equally difficult to deal with.
