Urban Super Medical Saint

Seeing Ge Dongxu put on a "silly brother" face, Liu Jiayao gave him a sideways glance and said, "What? Haven't you seen a beautiful girl before?"

"Cough cough!" Ge Dongxu suddenly felt embarrassed again.

"Giggle, your skin is still thin." Liu Jiayao started laughing, finding herself increasingly fond of seeing the boy in front of her looking embarrassed. His demeanor was simply genuine and charming.

"Right, I've been meaning to ask you a question." Seeing Ge Dongxu's face turning a bit red, Liu Jiayao finally changed the subject, still worried he might become angry out of embarrassment.

"What question?" Ge Dongxu replied, finally letting out a quiet sigh of relief. He really had been a bit dreamy moments ago.

"Since you helped me clear my meridians, does that mean you are also a martial arts expert like in the novels? Can you do qinggong or something?" Liu Jiayao whispered the question in a low voice.

This topic was a bit absurd, naturally not suitable for others around to hear.

"The novels exaggerate it quite a bit, but beating ten people alone wouldn't be a problem. As for qinggong, that's just fiction... perhaps..." Ge Dongxu heisted, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

Although he had inherited Ge Hong's "Baopu Nine Pill Mysterious Scripture", for some reason although he knew it was the complete scripture and more profound cultivation techniques should follow, he could only read up to the qi cultivation stage. Beyond that was inscrutable. The qi cultivation stage didn't mention qinggong, let alone the legendary cloud riding. Thus, when Liu Jiayao had asked, Ge Dongxu's initial reaction was to deny the existence of qinggong, but after speaking, he thought since there were more techniques, who could guarantee that qinggong would not be one of them?

After all, just because he couldn't do it didn't mean qinggong didn't exist.

Liu Jiayao was already shocked by Ge Dongxu saying he could fight ten people and hadn't noticed the speculative look in Ge Dongxu's eyes.

Keep in mind, Ge Dongxu was only sixteen years old!

However, upon reflection that he could clear her meridians, Liu Jiayao thought perhaps it wasn't so surprising after all.

"Qinggong, I can't do it, but whether it exists in the world, I can't really say right now." Mid-thought, Ge Dongxu changed his tune halfway through his sentence.

"Oh, it would be magical if you could do qinggong!" Liu Jiayao said, her eyes filled with longing.

Walking on rooftops and walls has been a dream, not just for men but also for women, since ancient times.

"Indeed!" A wishful gleam appeared in Ge Dongxu's eyes as well.

It was Ge Dongxu's first time at KFC and the food was quite tasty, with over half of the dishes ending up in his stomach. Liu Jiayao ate very little, and for most of the meal, she just quietly watched Ge Dongxu eat, a look of happiness and contentment on her face that made Ge Dongxu somewhat embarrassed.

After eating at KFC, Liu Jiayao gave Ge Dongxu her business card, carefully writing down her personal mobile number on it. She then asked for his contact details. Seeing that Ge Dongxu didn't have a mobile phone, Liu Jiayao initially wanted to buy him one, saying it would make communication easier, but Ge Dongxu refused, saying he was still a student and carrying a mobile phone was too conspicuous.

Liu Jiayao knew Ge Dongxu didn't like to draw attention, so she reluctantly let the matter drop.

Upon leaving the KFC, Ge Dongxu wasn't sure if he didn't want to part with Liu Jiayao or if he was worried about men bothering her halfway, so he escorted her back down to Yadu Park. Only then did he say, "Sister Liu, I won't accompany you upstairs. I have other matters to attend to urgently, otherwise, I'll miss my train."

"Hmm!" Liu Jiayao nodded and then stepped forward to give Ge Dongxu a gentle hug, softly saying, "Take care on your journey!"

After she finished speaking, Liu Jiayao kissed his forehead gently once again.

Ge Dongxu's body stiffened for a moment, feeling a kind of indescribable sensation spreading throughout his body—it was sweet and warm.

"I understand, Sister Liu. Take care," it took Ge Dongxu a while to nod his head and wave at Liu Jiayao before he left Yadu Garden.

After walking some distance, Ge Dongxu suddenly looked back and found Liu Jiayao still standing downstairs, quietly watching him leave.

A slight tremor ran through Ge Dongxu's heart. He quickly turned his head away, afraid that Liu Jiayao would see him looking back at her.

Standing by the roadside, Ge Dongxu waved down a taxi.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"To Renmin Road at Jiang Region Jewelry," he told the taxi driver after getting in.

Jiang Region Jewelry, managed by the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources of Jiangnan Province, boasted a professional background in geology and minerals, making its gems and jade somewhat more authentic compared to other stores.

Ge Dongxu had come to the provincial capital not just to sell thousand-year-old wild Polygonum multiflorum but also to buy jade for setting up a Spirit Gathering Array. Therefore, he had made enquiries back in Changxi County. Despite still being a young man, Ge Dongxu already demonstrated the meticulousness and steadiness of an adult in his actions.

Before coming, Ge Dongxu had looked up the route from Yongchun Hall to Jiang Region Jewelry. He knew that the distance between the two was somewhat far, but since he was departing from Yadu Garden this time, he was unsure of the distance and didn't know if the driver would overcharge him like the previous ones had.

Fortunately, with ¥1,300,000 in his account now, he had enough confidence. As long as the driver didn't deliberately take him in circles, thinking him naive, he would turn a blind eye and go along with it, as he wasn't familiar with the provincial capital anyway.

However, this time the driver didn't take advantage of him and dropped him off at Jiang Region Jewelry within the base fare.

Walking into Jiang Region Jewelry, he saw glass display cases, while a winding staircase in the sales hall led to the second floor. Behind each display case stood young sales clerks, dressed in white shirts and black skirts, with shapely figures and attractive appearances.

The glass cases displayed various gold, gem, and jade ornaments. Since Ge Dongxu was specifically there for jade, he went straight to the display case containing jade.

"Could you please take out this jade pendant for me to look at?" Ge Dongxu pointed at a jade pendant shaped closely to a rectangular jade token inside the display case and asked.

Two young sales clerks stood behind the counter. One with a melon seed face and phoenix eyes looked quite shrewd, while the other was slightly younger with an apple-shaped face.

The melon-faced clerk, standing closer to Ge Dongxu, noticing he was only a teenage boy, said indifferently, "This pendant costs three thousand yuan. Are you going to buy it?"

Then in the early 1990s, the jade market in Huaxia began to heat up, and prices have soared since then.

The jade pendant Ge Dongxu had pointed at cost three thousand yuan, which was a significant amount for an average family. For sales clerks like her, not counting commissions, it could equal almost half a year's salary, so naturally, the melon-faced clerk was not inclined to pay much attention to a young boy pointing at such an expensive item.

"Whether I buy it or not, I should at least take a look at it first," Ge Dongxu said upon seeing the clerk's indifferent attitude. He was slightly annoyed but did not lose his temper.

Just then, a man approached—it was the same man Ge Dongxu had encountered at KFC. The melon-faced clerk lit up upon seeing him. She moved a few steps aside, subtly elbowing the apple-faced clerk out of the way, all the while smiling and saying, "Oh, Manager Zheng, what brings you to our store today? Are you looking to buy some jade as a gift?"

ps: I recommend a new book by Hotpot Brother titled "Urban Peach Blossom Mad Youth." If you like it, please add it to your favorites and support. Additionally, thanks to the reader Qing Shi San Kong for pointing it out, I have changed Pepsi back to Coca-Cola. Also, the previous mention of Primordial Fierce Beasts has been changed to Water Beasts, as I've been too busy with both a new and old book recently and didn't have time to make changes, hence I forgot who reminded me. Thanks to that reader for pointing it out.
