Urban Super Medical Saint

This investigation almost made Ge Dongxu cry out in astonishment.

Not only had the True Qi inside his body become much more substantial than before, but it had also become much more refined and concentrated. Ge Dongxu even had an intuition that, with his current state, it would probably take only a few more days for him to step into the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation.

But the problem was that he had just broken through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation not many days ago! How could he possibly be on the verge of another breakthrough so soon?

That was secondary when Ge Dongxu's Divine Sense dived into the Sea of Consciousness. He discovered that the originally vast, barely clear space in the Sea of Consciousness had now expanded by over tenfold.

The Sea of Consciousness is the world of spiritual power.

The larger the clear space, the stronger the spiritual power.

Regarding spiritual power, Ge Dongxu was not very knowledgeable at the moment. He only knew that each time of deep contemplation, each session of cultivation, each act of carving Gathering Talismans and Formations, his spiritual power would strengthen a bit, but the increase was quite limited. It was only after breakthroughs in his Realm that relatively larger changes would appear, yet compared to this time, they could only be seen as minor.

Strange, why would such a change occur?

Ge Dongxu pulled his Divine Sense back out, returning to reality, gazing at the fragment in his hand and wiping the heavy sweat from his forehead, utterly at a loss for explanations.

In the heritage of Ge Hong, Ge Dongxu actually knew that many things were hidden inside his own brain, which likely contained many secrets that might explain the situation today. But as far as Ge Dongxu's current knowledge from his heritage was concerned, there were no records of this aspect.

Certainly, Ge Dongxu couldn't possibly know about such matters from Ge Hong's heritage so early on.

For this was the Heavenly-Man Unity realm that cultivators might encounter but could not seek out, where both body and Divine Sense were merged with heaven and earth, indistinguishable from each other.

Only when one's cultivation had reached an extremely high realm was it possible to enter this profound and mysterious realm.

Ge Dongxu, being only at the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation, had through carving the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation, mysteriously formed a profound connection with the Big Dipper through the Talisman Jade in his hand, thus touching upon that Heavenly-Man Unity realm. It could only be said that Ge Dongxu's luck today was incredibly explosive.

As for the benefits, the sudden increase in cultivation and the sudden growth in spiritual power were merely superficial. The real benefits far exceeded these, and as Ge Dongxu's cultivation became higher, he would have an increasingly profound understanding of the latter's benefits.

Ge Dongxu was never someone who liked to dwell on issues excessively.

Since he couldn't figure it out, and this matter was clearly beyond his current comprehension, Ge Dongxu decided not to dwell on it anymore, but instead took out another piece of Glass Type Jadeite.

His cultivation power had increased significantly, and he was brimming with energy.

Silently he started up his cultivation technique, his fingers touching the Jadeite.

The moment his fingers touched it, it almost startled Ge Dongxu.

For he could clearly feel the spirit energy flowing within the Jadeite, and its patterns appeared in his mind like a vivid three-dimensional map.

With thoughts aligned with his heart, his fingers moved over the Jadeite, incredibly smooth, like a fish swimming in water, because Ge Dongxu could clearly "see" the flow of the spirit energy and all its patterns within the Jadeite.

Completed in one go!

A piece of Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade was completed.

This time, the earlier situation did not recur.

However, Ge Dongxu just stared at the Talisman Jade in his hand and zoned out for a while. Although he knew his cultivation power had greatly increased, he hadn't expected to complete the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Talisman Jade so effortlessly.

Ge Dongxu, not believing in curses, carved another piece, and it was still completed in one go.

His cultivation hadn't reached the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, so such a significant improvement shouldn't have been possible. Could it be because of the spiritual power?

Yes, it must be because of the spiritual power. That's why I can now clearly sense the condition inside the Jadeite, and my control over True Qi has also reached an unprecedented level of precision.

Thinking this, Ge Dongxu was almost certain that it was because his spiritual power had surged suddenly.

Since I can now carve out the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation in one go, could I possibly…

Ge Dongxu's heart skipped a beat, and he lifted his spell hand to draw in the void, softly chanting, "One!"

An ancient Dharma Talisman condensed in the void, followed by a faint green light refracting from Ge Dongxu's body.

But in Ge Dongxu's eyes, this wasn't just a layer of faint green light, but a body armor made of condensed wood spirit energy.

Robust and solid!

Indeed! A wave of ecstasy surged in Ge Dongxu's heart.

This time, he found not only that the True Qi within his body was as easy to control as moving his own limbs, smooth and unobstructed, but also that when he cast spells, it seemed like his connection with the world suddenly grew much closer, to the extent that he could clearly sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him.

Could this also be because of the spiritual power? Ge Dongxu pondered in secret.

Ge Dongxu didn't know that the sudden intimacy with the world, in addition to being partly due to spiritual power, was primarily because he had experienced Unity of Heaven and Man.

Unity of Heaven and Man, in layman's terms, means having had an intimate contact with the world.

Think about it, once you've had intimate contact, could the relationship remain as estranged as before?

After a surge of ecstasy, Ge Dongxu was just about to draw another Talisman in the Void when he saw his phone light up from inside his slightly open bag, flashing the word "Mom."

Because he was busy carving the Talisman Jade, he had put his phone on silent.

Seeing it was his mom calling, Ge Dongxu hurriedly took out his phone to answer.

"You rascal, where have you been these past few days? Why haven't you even called home?" As soon as he answered the call, he heard his mother's complaining voice.

"Ahem, because there wasn't anything special, and since I was out of town, I didn't call back. I'll definitely remember to call next time." Ge Dongxu hurriedly answered, feeling somewhat puzzled inside. Since his family knew he was very capable, they had always been very assured of him and seldom specifically called to inquire about his affairs. Considering it hadn't been many days since he left home, why did this call come chasing after him like a "summons"?

"What do you mean nothing special? Other people's children all already know whether they have been admitted to university. How come you still don't have any news?" Xu Suya scolded right off the bat.

"Ah, mom, I completely forgot to check." Hearing this, Ge Dongxu slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing the reason his mom had called.

As far as university admission was concerned, Ge Dongxu hadn't taken it to heart at all. So after checking his scores and filling out his preferences, he had completely stopped thinking about it, just waiting for school to start.

However, it was different for Xu Suya and her husband. Their son's university education was a big deal to them; they counted days on their fingers every day, eagerly awaiting the admissions notice. Just today, they had heard that a child from the neighboring village had been admitted to a certain university, which immediately prompted Xu Suya to urgently call Ge Dongxu.
