Chapter 100 The Pen of Making (2/2)

In Shendu, a lot of people would pull stunts as such as a gimmick. He was young, and there were plenty of clinics around, which was why up till now he did not have any patient.

Actually, he did have one or two neighbors who came to see him. They were down with a minor illness that was along the lines of a headache or fever. They wanted to offer the pair of siblings some help, which was why they came to get some medicine. However, Shen Lian refused to treat minor illnesses as such.

This raised suspicion with regards to his medical capabilities as a healer.

As words got around, there was not even a person who was curious anymore.

The location of his shop was not central. If one did not pay close attention, one would not realize that there was a clinic here.

Shen Lian did not bother with idle chit-chat, he brought Young Ruoxi back into the house.

The valiant youth was not offended. ”Let’s go,” he said to the servant next to him.

The servant was taught a lesson by Shen Lian, and was still breathing heavily. He was not someone without knowledge, and he knew that Shen Lian was not a simple person. Moreover, the valiant youth did not want to dwell on the matter anymore. He took a hint and did not cause more trouble.

”The Shendu City is indeed a place filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons,” the youth said as they left.

”Sir, don’t we need people like these now? The kid just now was good. Even the disciples of the famed Master Kuhui could not toy around with me like he did. Do you want me to look into his background, and let’s see if we can get him to work for us? He will be a great help,” the fair servant suggested.

”I’m very glad that you can look past what happened earlier and suggest something like that. However, we just arrived in Shendu and it would be best to keep a low profile. Why do you think Qi Wang offered to throw me a welcome party tonight? He is trying to aggravate me,” the youth snickered.

Shen Lian looked at Young Ruoxi who was in front of him, ”You were not afraid just now, it seems like you have grown quite a lot lately,” he said.

”With brother here, of course, I wouldn’t be afraid of anything,” Young Ruoxi looked up and replied.

Shen Lian gave her a rub on her forehead. ”I could not possibly be bringing you around for the rest of my life,” he thought. He was not about to vocalize his thoughts, as it would be really hurtful for the little girl.

As he had dabbled in Feng Shui, he could see the purple aura shrouding the youth. He was someone of utmost importance but was trying to keep a low profile.

Within Shendu City, the dragon aura of the Empress was strong as mid-day, but there was a hint of depression to it. If nothing was done, the dragon aura would start waning after reaching its pinnacle.

As he still had no clue about the Taixu Strategy, he was studying about all these in order to facilitate his comprehension through analogies.

Shendu was the Capital City, and the entire place was a huge Feng Shui set-up. Its effect rippled out and could reach ten thousand miles from here.

The entire geographical position of Da Zhou centered on the Feng Shui set-up at Shendu, and everything would converge here. However, the Qi of earth that stemmed from all directions rushed towards Shendu; at the same time, these Qi of earth were carefully arranged in an orderly manner.

Someone penned the making of this, and the scariest part was that this was an intentional act.

Shen Lian thought if a person was capable of manipulating the river and mountains, said person might even be the likes of holy deities.

Hoping for some inspirations, he wanted to peek into the Dao meaning behind this. Maybe he could instill the eight Qi into his body and carefully arranged them in an orderly manner. That would solve the conflicts and clashes between the different types of Qi.

This was his main purpose of coming to Shendu. Moreover, he knew that the Empress was a strong believer of Buddhism, and Kuhui was an important and well-known figure in the Shendu City.

”I will start teaching you about the cultivation of Qi tomorrow. Even though I cannot teach you about the one hundred and eight techniques of Qing Xuan, by the time that you are ready for Celestialism, I should be able to return to the Mountains. Hence, we should start building a good foundation for you to work within the future,” he said.

His words were also meant as a motivation for himself, of course, Ruoxi would not be able to understand it.
