Urban Super Medical Saint

"Mr. Ge, this is Fan Hong. May I ask what is the matter?" The phone was quickly answered, and Fan Hong’s voice came through, respectful with a hint of excitement.

"There’s something I might need your help with," Ge Dongxu explained the matter briefly.

"Okay, I will head to the Kunting Hotel right away," Fan Hong said immediately after hearing the details.

"Hmm, bring some white-back notoginseng, octagonal maple leaves, and kadsura leaves..." Ge Dongxu intended to hang up the phone, but as his gaze swept over the perfect body of the blonde woman on the bed and noticed her wounds, he hesitated and then listed a series of herbs.

Although Ge Dongxu had already treated the wounds with his True Qi, there would probably still be some slight scars after healing.

Though the scars would certainly be faint, looking at such a flawless body as if it were a masterpiece from heaven, Ge Dongxu felt that even a slight scar was regrettable, so he decided to do a good deed thoroughly.

"Alright," Fan Hong noted the names of the herbs and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up with Fan Hong, Ge Dongxu covered Nico with a blanket and then took a special look at her features.

Seeing that there was no longer the dark shade on her forehead that he had noticed on the plane, and that the very obvious capillaries on her nose were now hidden under her fair skin, barely noticeable, Ge Dongxu roughly surmised that Nico’s crisis in the capital was now over.

Knowing that Nico’s crisis had passed, Ge Dongxu began to carefully examine the blonde beauty on the bed.

At that moment, Nico resembled a sleeping beauty from the legends, tranquil and beautiful, her golden hair reflecting a soft luster under the light, making it hard for anyone to associate her with the blood-soaked woman she had been earlier.

But at this moment, Ge Dongxu knew that the woman before him was far more complex than she appeared on the surface. As for who she really was or her background, as long as she wasn’t here to harm Huaxia Country, he wasn’t concerned and didn’t wish to inquire further.

It was merely a chance meeting, and he had initially helped her because he saw that she had a heart for helping others and had enjoyed their conversation. Beyond that, Ge Dongxu did not want to become involved further.

Ge Dongxu quickly averted his gaze, then stood up and washed off the bloodstains on the floor and walls of the bathroom, also secretly feeling fortunate that he had come in time. Otherwise, Nico would certainly have died from splenic rupture and excessive blood loss, and this new branch of the Kunting Hotel in the capital might have encountered serious trouble, casting a shadow over it.

Fan Hong soon arrived at the hotel. By then, Ge Dongxu had cleaned the bathroom and disposed of some blood-stained clothes and bandages in the trash can, so when Fan Hong entered, he couldn’t see any signs of the incident, only Nico still sweetly asleep on the bed.

"It’s this woman right here. Investigate her discreetly. If she’s not a spy or anything, just let her be, don’t manage her affairs or tell me about them. She and I are merely passing acquaintances, and I do not want to get involved in this matter," Ge Dongxu said.

"Understood," Fan Hong nodded and replied, "These are the herbs you wanted. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go arrange for people to investigate."

"How’s your cultivation going recently?" Ge Dongxu asked with a smile.

"Very well, I should be able to break through in a few years." Fan Hong respectfully replied, his eyes showing reverence and gratitude.

If it were not for Ge Dongxu, not only would he not be talking about breaking through, but continuing cultivation might have endangered his life.

"Give me your hand, I’ll take a look," Ge Dongxu said upon hearing this.

Fan Hong quickly extended his hand, and Ge Dongxu checked his pulse, saying gravely, "Not bad, but your True Qi is too mixed. If you continue at this pace, even if you do break through to the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, you’ll probably be stuck at that level for the rest of your life."

"Please enlighten me, Mr. Ge," Fan Hong said, his heart pounding fiercely as he hastily asked for guidance with respect.

It’s the Dharma Ending Age now; breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer is already a significant achievement.

For the former Fan Hong, reaching the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer was a mere wishful thinking; now having hope to break through to the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, he was actually very satisfied and dared not hope for more.

Because the path of cultivation is like climbing a mountain, the higher you go, the harder it becomes. Fan Hong was no longer young, and the chances of breaking through beyond the Fifth Layer were very slim, so he had already given up on such extravagant hopes.

However, Fan Hong never expected Ge Dongxu to say these words, suddenly stirring the contentment in his heart, as if a calm lake had been hit by a sudden storm.

"From now on, during your daily cultivation, do not merely focus on absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, but temper your internal True Qi and keep the essence while discarding the dross," Ge Dongxu instructed.

"If that’s the case, when can I expect to reach the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer?" Fan Hong asked with a bitter smile upon hearing this.

Human life is limited, and cultivation itself is a race against time.

Nowadays, nature’s spiritual energy is scarce, so modern cultivators usually don’t care about the quality of spiritual energy, focusing only on quantity to advance their cultivation realms as quickly as possible before the end of their lives.

It’s like when people are starving; they simply eat whatever fills the stomach first without caring about its nutritional value or taste.

And now Ge Dongxu is telling him to temper the internal True Qi and keep the essence while discarding the dross. Doing this not only means Fan Hong’s cultivation would stall, but also that some of his previously acquired mana, because of this refinement process, might be depleted. It’s like having to pluck rotten leaves off a plant, inevitably discarding some good parts in the process to clean it thoroughly.

In doing so, Fan Hong’s painstakingly cultivated mana might even regress.

"As a leader, you should understand the principle that in war, the quality of troops is more important than quantity. The same applies to nature’s spiritual energy. If you don’t want to stop at the Fifth Layer, you must take this step. If your goal is only to reach the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, then pretend I never mentioned anything," Ge Dongxu said solemnly.

"Thank you for your guidance! From today, I will temper my internal True Qi and keep the essence while discarding the dross," Fan Hong, being astute and decisive, immediately bowed solemnly upon hearing these words.

"When you feel you have tempered it to its limit, come find me, and I will lend you a helping hand," Ge Dongxu said, noting Fan Hong’s resolute heart and lack of hesitation after his explanation, and he nodded approvingly.

If Fan Hong had shown any hesitation, perhaps Ge Dongxu would not guide him anymore.

Because his heart would have settled for reaching only the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer!

"Thank you, sir, Fan Hong takes leave!" Fan Hong’s eyes flashed with excitement, he bowed again, and then left.

After Fan Hong left, Ge Dongxu took out some herbs, forcing them with mana, and soon obtained a few drops of greenish liquid.

Ge Dongxu applied it to Nico’s wounds, covered her back with a blanket, left her a note directing her not to look for him or call him, declaring that their affair was over, and then he drifted away.
