Urban Super Medical Saint

A trace of magical power emanated from the talisman, casting a net that gathered the surrounding spiritual energy.

As more and more spiritual energy accumulated, a large amount of impure energy followed.

Clearly, the formation was of a low level, its "filtering" function not very strong.

However, feeling the rich spiritual energy around him, Ge Dongxu was already fully satisfied. As long as he chose to cultivate during the hours when the impure energy of heaven and earth was relatively low, then with the help of the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade, even cultivating in the county city would be twice as effective as in Baiyun Mountain.

Do not underestimate this double efficiency, as it meant that Ge Dongxu now cultivating for one year was equivalent to two years previously in Baiyun Mountain.

Ge Dongxu waited until the designated hour to begin his cultivation, and indeed, traces of cool spiritual energy flowed through his meridians toward his dantian, constantly nourishing and expanding his meridians, while also enriching and tempering the various organs they passed through.

When his cultivation at that hour ended, not only did Ge Dongxu feel the fatigue from earlier symbol drawing disappear, but he also felt full of strength, and his mind seemed exceptionally clear and alert.

"The Spirit Gathering Formation really is extraordinary. If I continue cultivating at this pace, perhaps in a year and a half, I might break through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation," Ge Dongxu felt the harvest of this hour's cultivation, and his mood was very good.

However, when his gaze fell on the jade token in his hand, a twinge of pain involuntarily rose in his heart. Not only because he had previously spent nearly 280,000 RMB for this jade talisman, but also because he found that there were faint cracks on the jade token that were difficult for the naked eye to see.

Clearly, although a jade talisman was not the same as a paper talisman and could be reused, it also had a limit to the number of times it could be used.

"It seems I still need to work hard to earn money," Ge Dongxu caressed the jade talisman in his hand, his face showing a bitter smile.

...

The next day, before the evening self-study began, the life committee member Lin Yaran, who Du Yifan described as a girl of average appearance but long legs, brought Ge Dongxu a letter.

Since going to the provincial capital over two months ago, Ge Dongxu had regularly received letters from Tang Yiyuan instructing him about once a month. Ge Dongxu thought this was another from Tang Yiyuan, but upon receiving it, he discovered it was sent by Liu Jiayao.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Only then did Ge Dongxu remember that the three-month agreement he had made with Liu Jiayao was nearly up. Indeed, upon opening the letter, Liu Jiayao was inquiring about this matter.

Thinking of having to treat Liu Jiayao again, Ge Dongxu felt a mix of anticipation, but more so nervousness and fear.

Since returning from the provincial capital, Ge Dongxu had consecutive dreams for a week or two, where Liu Jiayao would appear lying naked in bed in the dreams, and on a couple of occasions she suddenly turned into Wu Yili, and once even Jiang Lili, though Dong Yuxin hardly ever appeared in the dreams.

Upon waking, there were even a couple of instances where Ge Dongxu's pants were wet, which was quite embarrassing for him.

Later, as time passed, Liu Jiayao gradually stopped appearing in his dreams, at least not naked.

So when Ge Dongxu suddenly received a letter from Liu Jiayao and thought about having to treat her again, his emotions instantly became complex. However, Liu Jiayao's illness definitely needed ongoing treatment, so after his emotions had been complicated for a while, he planned to call her at noon the next day and tell her he would visit the Provincial Capital that weekend.

In the end, Ge Dongxu decided to go to the Provincial Capital himself instead of having her come to Changxi County to find him.

One reason was that Ge Dongxu worried the back-and-forth would tire her, and secondly, Ge Dongxu felt it was necessary to meet Tang Yiyuan in person. While some of Tang Yiyuan's inquiries from these past days could be clarified through letters, others could not be explained clearly in writing and needed face-to-face guidance.

Since he considered Liu Jiayao and Tang Yiyuan his friends, Ge Dongxu definitely had to treat them sincerely, and it was only natural for him to look out for them.

While Ge Dongxu was thinking about going to the Provincial Capital, his arm was gently nudged by his deskmate, and Du Yifan's whispered exclamation reached his ears,"Boss, quick, look outside, there's a beauty on the prowl!"

"I say, Yifan, can't you focus on your studies instead? Always thinking about beauties!" Ge Dongxu replied irritably, but his gaze nevertheless followed the direction of Du Yifan's pointing finger toward the window.

"I'm combining work and leisure!" Du Yifan retorted, then seeing Ge Dongxu also looking out the window, he laughed slyly, lowered his voice, and said,"Boss, spot on, right? Look at those black leather pants, how shapely they wrap around her butt! Oh, it seems like she's here to find someone."

"Shapely, my foot! Focus on your studies!" Ge Dongxu was startled when he saw the woman, grabbed a textbook, smacked it on Du Yifan's head, and then quickly left the classroom.

"Damn, no way? Is the boss really going to hit on this woman? She's not exactly a schoolgirl!" Seeing Ge Dongxu leaving the classroom, Du Yifan rubbed his head and muttered to himself.

While he was muttering, Du Yifan saw the woman suddenly walk briskly towards Ge Dongxu, then hurriedly grabbed his hand.

"Damn! No way, this is too awesome!" Du Yifan was immediately struck dumb.

"What's the matter, Yue Ting, why did you come to our school? And you look a bit pale," Ge Dongxu patted Yue Ting's hand, signaling her to calm down.

"Damn, he's already holding her hand!" Du Yifan watched the scene unfold, his admiration for Ge Dongxu flowing endlessly like the Yangtze River.

"Xu, Brother Xu, can you treat illnesses?" Yue Ting finally stabilized her emotions, then looked at Ge Dongxu with anticipation and asked.

"A bit, what's the matter?" Ge Dongxu hesitated, then finally nodded and asked.

"Then, you must save my uncle! My uncle, he's critically ill!" Upon hearing this, Yue Ting's eyes suddenly lit up, her tears brimming as she pleaded.

"Yue Ting, I'm just a high school student, and if your uncle is critically ill, the hospital doctors should be saving him. I can't help you with this," Ge Dongxu said with a flicker of hesitation in his eyes, but ultimately he wisely declined.

This wasn't to say that Ge Dongxu was indifferent to someone's plight, but he was young, had no medical license, and why would someone let him participate in a rescue? Besides, he didn't know Yue Ting's uncle—whether he was a good person or a bad one. At best, his connection to Yue Ting was nothing more than a coincidence, not a genuine relationship. Moreover, Ge Dongxu's medical skills were not omnipotent and not every illness was within his ability to cure. What if he went, and it didn't work? Could he, a sixteen-year-old boy, bear that responsibility?

ps: Currently ranked fourth on QiDian, we only need a little more to reach third in the new book rankings. On QQ Browser, we are ranked tenth in the recommendations and not far from the top three, while on QQ Bookstore we are seventeenth. So, I am setting a small target for next Monday—if you help me get this book into the top three of QiDian's new book rankings on Monday, I will strive to release five chapters. If the readers on QQ Browser also come through and get this book's recommendation tickets into the top three, I will add two more chapters. If QQ Bookstore also rises, I will agonizingly add two more chapters. Of course, this is for Monday only, not for the entire week—I couldn't handle that.
