Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2844 - 2843: Got Rich!

Lin Dong finds himself standing upon a seemingly tranquil yet hazardous water surface, enveloped in an unending expanse of somber mist. The heavens above appear to be captured by an unseen force, forming a dense barrier that permits not a single ray of light to penetrate.

He inhales deeply, striving to quell the frantic beating within his chest, his thoughts replaying past knowledge of this specific water realm.

It's a dimension that possesses the ability to distort reality, instantaneously transporting one from their original location.

"Maintain composure, Lin Dong, remain calm," he coaches himself, beginning to meticulously retrace his every action prior to entering this strange space.

He recalls how, upon entry, the air seemed to exhibit a subtle, almost imperceptible tremor, as if the very fabric of the space whispered a premonition of impending transformation.

If this faint disturbance was the gateway into the chaotic expanse, could it also hold the secret to his escape?

Lin Dong gently closes his eyes, attempting to perceive his surroundings with his spirit, as if seeking a solitary glimmer of light amidst the profound darkness.

The passage of time becomes indistinct; each passing second stretches into what feels like an eternity.

At long last, just as his awareness teeters on the brink of succumbing to the boundless void, an unusual ripple once more grazes his spirit – weak, yet undeniably distinct.

His eyes snap open in an instant, and he moves deliberately towards the source of that faint disturbance.

"I have found a way. I finally understand how to traverse out of this chaotic water domain," Lin Dong utters softly, a peculiar light flickering in his eyes.

Within this seemingly endless aquatic realm, he had been adrift for an immeasurable duration, each attempt to locate an exit proving to be a frustratingly circular futility.

However, a novel strategy now forms within his mind.

He meticulously etches a mental waypoint, akin to implanting an invisible beacon in the emptiness, ensuring his orientation remains steadfast during his exploration.

Having completed this crucial step, Lin Dong draws another deep breath and resolutely strides forth into the uncharted waters.

Initially, the environment appears unchanged, the surrounding vistas remaining a blur of monotony, punctuated only by the gentle sound of flowing water and the occasional, strange calls of unseen creatures.

Yet, after Lin Dong ventures a considerable distance, he experiences a startling revelation: he has arrived in an entirely novel locale, one utterly dissimilar to any he has encountered previously.

The currents here churn with greater ferocity, and the ambient light is considerably dimmer, as though he has stepped into an alternate dimension.

Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Dong establishes another mental marker in this new spot.

This practice evolves into a pivotal element of his exploratory endeavor; each time he reaches an unfamiliar territory, he replicates this action, not only securing his return path but also laying the groundwork for the eventual mapping of the entire water domain.

In this disorienting water domain, the concept of time appears to dissolve. Lin Dong has no notion of how far he has traveled, nor the number of markers he has placed and the subsequent steps taken.

Yet, in his mind's eye, these mental markers coalesce into an intricate labyrinthine pattern, where each intersection signifies a location he has attained, and each connecting line represents a path of his exploration.

Finally, as Lin Dong pauses once more, his gaze fixed upon the burgeoning maze formed by countless markers, a breathtaking insight dawns upon him.

"The path lies beneath me, not ahead, but downwards," he whispers, an overwhelming surge of exhilaration coursing through him.

Through relentless comparison and meticulous analysis, Lin Dong uncovers a singular route, one that deviates from conventional forward progression and distinctly points towards the depths below.

It is a direction he had previously hesitated to consider, for venturing downwards in this water domain typically signified descent into greater unknowns and more perilous abysses.

But now, the map meticulously assembled from his numerous mental markers unequivocally declares it the sole passage to liberation.

Without hesitation, Lin Dong harmonizes his breathing, fortifies his entire mental fortitude, preparing himself for the challenge that awaits.

He closes his eyes, completely channeling his perception into the maze construct, feeling the subtle rhythm of each potential passage, ultimately fixing his focus on the route leading into the subterranean abyss.

As Lin Dong begins his descent, the ambient pressure intensifies, and the water currents become increasingly turbulent.

Unyielding, driven by an unwavering objective, he plunges deeper, step by deliberate step.

Eventually, as the first beam of sunlight, foreign to this water domain, pierces the surface and touches his face, Lin Dong comprehends his success.

Lin Dong emerges from that bewildering water domain, as if crossing a veil between dimensions, and a new world instantly unfurls before his eyes.

The scenery here bears a remarkably striking resemblance to the Five Elements Land he had previously navigated.

Similarly, dense forestation covers the land, with colossal ancient trees reaching towards the sky, their canopies allowing sunlight to filter through in intricate patterns, casting dappled shadows upon the ground.

However, the pervasive, abundant water element saturating the very air stands in stark contrast to any portion of the Five Elements Land. It is so potent it is almost overwhelming, as if the entire realm has been condensed from pure humidity.

Lin Dong inhales deeply, endeavoring to acclimate himself to this unprecedented environment.

He surveys his surroundings, noting how every leaf and every dewdrop emits a strange, blue luminescence, a clear indicator of the highly concentrated water element pervading the area.

A truly breathtaking and moving spectacle unfolded before him, filling Lin Dong with profound awe for this enigmatic realm.

He turned his gaze back, only to find the tumultuous water domain he had just escaped now veiled by a dense, impenetrable mist. It seemed like an ethereal barrier, erected by some ancient power to safeguard this nascent world.

Lin Dong’s attempts to probe the mist with his mental power proved futile; it could neither pierce its surface nor glean any information from the water domain beyond.

"It appears Tian Sha, the Golden Buddha Kuerzan, Gale Queen, and Dragon Knight Vincent are still sequestered within," Lin Dong mused to himself.

While he harbored no affection for these past adversaries, a sliver of sympathy arose within him at their predicament.

After all, being confined to such a chaotic expanse was surely an agonizing form of torture.

Nevertheless, Lin Dong swiftly dismissed these sentiments, his mind singularly focused on one objective: the pursuit of the Water Origin.

He surmised that the extraordinary abundance of water elements in this new world was almost certainly a direct consequence of the Water Origin being concealed here.

Once this conjecture took root, it flourished in his mind like an unstoppable vine, compelling him onward.

Lin Dong navigated the dense forest with extreme caution, each footstep deliberately measured.

He was acutely aware that in this world where water elements held such potent sway, even the slightest oversight could precipitate unforeseen and perilous outcomes.

Employing his heightened senses and mental acuity, he meticulously gathered intelligence about his surroundings, diligently searching for any hint of the Water Origin.

As time wore on, Lin Dong began to discern a subtle yet consistent pattern. Within the forest, specific locales exhibited an astonishing concentration of water elements, manifesting as small pools or even miniature waterfalls.

Flourishing in the vicinity of these watery havens were unusual flora, some shimmering with an ethereal blue luminescence, others exuding a gentle, cool moisture – seemingly nature’s sentinels guarding the abundant water essence.

"Remarkable! Numerous heavenly and earthly treasures imbued with water attributes reside here! That one is the primary ingredient for the Water Repelling Pill in alchemy – the 'Water Spirit Flower'.

"And that is the key component for the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, the 'Green Water Spirit Grass', alongside several hundred-year-old specimens of Water Ganoderma… This is a treasure trove! I'm going to be rich!"

Lin Dong gazed upon these invaluable natural riches, his eyes alight with fervent excitement.
