I rode my motorcycle, speeding down the highway, heading straight for Zhen Tian Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.
At that moment, a snake as thick as an adult's arm lay across the middle of the road ahead.
Normally, I would get off and drive it away, but right now, Old Cao's life was hanging by a thread; I couldn't afford to waste even half a second.
So, I slightly reduced my speed, planning to rush past it.
The large snake, seeing me approach, swiftly raised its head, opened its massive mouth, and lunged at me with its flicking tongue.
Instinctively, I twisted the throttle to the right, and my motorcycle roared past on the left.
I successfully got through, but before I could celebrate, the snake's tail swept toward me with lightning speed.
Bang!
I was knocked off the cliff and fell into the bottomless abyss below, thinking it was all over.
To my surprise, mid-air, my body was caught by a small tree, which cushioned my fall and saved my life.
In the center of the cliff, there was a naturally formed cave.
At this moment, I found myself inside this cave.
"Chirp chirp chirp~"
"Hiss hiss hiss~"
I looked up to see a large black rat struggling against a giant snake; it was clear that the black rat was no match for it.
The large black rat saw me as if it had found a lifeline, squeaking at me as if asking for help.
I casually picked up a stone and threw it at the snake's head.
The snake reacted quickly, easily dodging the stone.
But then, a second stone came flying.
This time, the giant snake wasn't so lucky; the stone hit it precisely on its vital spot, and after struggling a few times, it lay still.
The large black rat cast a grateful glance at me before running deeper into the cave.
It seemed to want to take me somewhere.
I picked up the herbal pouch on the ground and followed the large black rat into the depths of the cave.
At the deepest part of the cave, there was a skeleton.
This skeleton was distinctly different from that of a human.
Above the skull, there were two obvious protrusions that looked like horns.
"An alien?" I widened my eyes in disbelief.
Aliens were actually real!
I examined the skeleton closely; it was missing a piece of its skull, seemingly removed by someone.
Beneath the withered bones, I found a palm-sized stone.
The moment this stone touched my fingertip, it transformed into a white light and merged into my forehead.
Countless medical knowledge and cultivation techniques surged into my mind.
"So, your name is Xiao Bai," I said as I turned to look at the big black rat.
"Zhi zhi zhi~"
The big black rat chirped happily.
"Thank you for your gift, but I must be on my way." I waved goodbye to Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai squeaked at me a few times, then ran over to the cave wall and pressed its forelimb against a stone.
The previously sealed cave wall slowly opened.
"You have a secret passage?" I asked in surprise.
"Zhi zhi zhi~"
I followed Xiao Bai through the secret passage and discovered that we were outside on the slope behind a cliff.
My motorcycle was parked on the road not far away.
I hopped on my motorcycle and sped towards Zhen Tian Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.
Upon arriving at the clinic, I handed the medicine package to Director Zhao.
"Lin Yang, you're back?" Director Zhao took the package, opened it, and his expression changed dramatically.
"What happened?" I felt a tightening in my chest.
Director Zhao threw the package directly on the ground, and when I looked down, I gasped in shock.
The century-old Wild Ginseng was gone, replaced by a carrot.
"A carrot? Did a donkey kick your brain?" Director Zhao exclaimed furiously.
I was also confused; I clearly remembered packing the Wild Ginseng. How did it turn into a carrot?
"Lin Yang, this is your doing!"
"With this mess you've made, the clinic will have to close, and we'll all be left to fend for ourselves!"
The other staff members in the clinic glared at me with anger.
"Lin Yang, what on earth is going on?" Director Zhao asked seriously.
