Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 293 - 292 College Entrance Examination [Happy Chinese New Year!]
"You’re a big shot?" However, the playful remark that followed from Ge Dongxu sent shivers down Lin Jinnuo’s spine, making him suddenly realize something. If Fan Hong was a big shot and he specifically came to Changxi County to meet Ge Dongxu, what did that imply?
Could it mean that Ge Dongxu’s status might even surpass Fan Hong’s?
Could it also mean that, had there been an issue earlier, if he had called Ge Dongxu, he could have had the police in the capital arrest someone just the same?
Lin Jinnuo’s mind buzzed, struggling to keep up with such leaps in logic.
He knew Ge Dongxu was incredibly capable and wealthy!
However, Lin Jinnuo’s thoughts were still fixed on Changxi County, at most extending to the provincial capital. He had never considered that an eighteen-year-old high school student could wield influence in the capital.
"Haha!" Seeing Lin Jinnuo, the typically nonchalant boss, shaken, Ge Dongxu couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Look, whether I’m a big shot isn’t important. What’s important is that we are friends, so don’t overthink it. Just treat Fang Hong normally when you interact with him."
Fan Hong had a special identity, and Ge Dongxu was still keeping it confidential, not revealing his true identity to Lin Jinnuo and continuing to refer to him as President Fan.
"Yes, yes." Lin Jinnuo nodded repeatedly, then hung up the phone somewhat dazed. It took him quite a while to regain composure, understanding that with a son following such a person, he would definitely be left far behind.
After hanging up with Lin Jinnuo, Ge Dongxu still specifically called Fan Hong. After all, Fan Hong was the head of a special department. If it weren’t for him, he would never have personally inquired about Lin Jinnuo’s matter.
Fan Hong, upon receiving the call from Ge Dongxu, was naturally a bit excited, repeatedly saying it was his duty, and then the two exchanged a few pleasantries. One characteristic of Ge Dongxu was evident: if someone owed him a favor, he didn’t concern himself too much, but if he owed someone else, he always felt the need to show gratitude, and so he specifically asked about his recent cultivation progress during the call.

This inquiry caused Fan Hong to feel quite exhilarated. Since Ge Dongxu had improved his cultivation method, his chest felt better than ever, and he made progress daily. According to Fan Hong’s estimate, if everything went smoothly, he might break through to the Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation within three to four years.
The Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation, while nothing significant for Ge Dongxu who was almost advancing to the Seventh Layer, meant the world to Fan Hong who had been stuck on the Fourth Layer for over ten years. Thus, when discussing cultivation, Fan Hong’s tone became even more respectful.
Of course, seizing the rare opportunity, Fan Hong also specially sought advice on several cultivational issues, to which Ge Dongxu responded one by one.
As the saying goes, a word from the wise is worth ten years of study. Whether it was his cultivation level, talent, or inherited Dao lineage, Ge Dongxu surpassed Fan Hong. His simple words profoundly benefited Fan Hong, who, after expressing his gratitude, ended the call. His excitement took a good while to settle.
After hanging up with Fan Hong, Ge Dongxu began to calmly draw talismans.
Talismans are ranked into Dharma, Spirit, Treasure, and Immortal grades, each consisting of top, middle, and low grades. Previously, Ge Dongxu could only barely draw middle-grade Dharma talismans, but now he was able to draw top-grade ones.
Yet to achieve the realm of ’talisman follows the heart, landing strokes into talismans’, he still had a gap to bridge. His master, Ren Yao, told him that achieving that realm required the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation. However, Ge Dongxu had an intuition that as long as he broke through to the Eighth Layer, he might be able to barely achieve it.
Of course, this referred to the lower-grade talismans he could draw!
If he reached that realm, Ge Dongxu could substitute his hand for a brush, crafting talismans in the void, each talisman capable of controlling or killing instantly!
That would truly be ’killing invisibly’.
After drawing talismans for a while, Ge Dongxu began carving the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation on jade stones, again inevitably failing. However, compared to before, there was much improvement.
Previously, when Ge Dongxu had just started using Ice Type Jadeite to carve the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation, he had barely started carving before he lost control of his mana and it quickly collapsed. Now, Ge Dongxu was able to continuously carve half of the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation before collapsing.
According to Ge Dongxu’s estimation, once he broke through to the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, he should have a certain success rate, and even if using Ice Type Jadeite didn’t work, using higher-grade glass should help him succeed once or twice, though the cost would be incredibly high.
After continuously ruining five jade tokens made of Ice Type Jadeite, Ge Dongxu felt mentally exhausted and his head ached tremendously.
Ge Dongxu knew he had reached his limit and didn’t dare to continue. He meditated in silence for a while and started his cultivation exactly at the midnight Chinese Hour.
An hour quickly passed, and Ge Dongxu felt his True Qi was purer and more robust than before.
By the time of my high school graduation, I should be able to break through to the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer. By then, Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation definitely wouldn’t meet my cultivation needs. It seems that it’s truly necessary to take advantage of the summer vacation to visit the jade market on the border.
Lying on the bed, Ge Dongxu looked at the ceiling, thinking about the jade needed for his subsequent cultivation, and finally decided to make a trip to the jade market on the border during the summer vacation.
…
Time quickly moved to June, the days of the college entrance exams.

On the day of the college entrance exams, Ge Dongxu gave Du Yifan and Cheng Lehao each a Heart-Cleansing Talisman. As for his classmates, after the incident two years ago when Su Qian directly crumpled and threw them away, Ge Dongxu would no longer easily commit such kindhearted "foolish acts".
Ge Dongxu was a role model and leader for Du Yifan and Cheng Lehao. Not to mention asking them to keep the Heart-Cleansing Talisman close, even if Ge Dongxu told them to paste the talisman on their face, as long as the invigilators didn’t oppose it, they would do just that.
For many, the college entrance exams were a life-determining test, and almost everyone was walking on thin ice, extremely nervous.
However, for Ge Dongxu, it was similar to any regular mock test, just in a different place and a bit more formal. What made his parents exceptionally nervous, though, was that they put aside their family business two days before the exams and specifically came to the villa in the county town to cook for the three of them.
It was a very strange psychology.
Even though Ge Dongxu had already proven during his three years in high school that even if he didn’t attend college, he had already achieved things far beyond the reach of college students, a college admission notice from a prestigious university still held heavy significance in the hearts of his parents, as if no amount of money he earned could compare to that admission notice.
This may be the deep-rooted concept ingrained in the hearts of the people of Huaxia Country over thousands of years.
Scholar, farmer, worker, merchant!
All are inferior; only reading is superior!
Perhaps it was also because this had been the wish his parents had been hoping for more than a decade, ingrained so deeply that without seeing the final result, this wish always lingered unfulfilled.
Perhaps Ge Dongxu’s brilliant achievements were too dazzling for ordinary folks like his parents; indeed, not as real or as praiseworthy as a prestigious college admission notice, which could also be shown off to relatives and neighbors.
Ultimately, this college entrance exam seemed more like an ordeal for Ge Dongxu’s parents rather than for Ge Dongxu himself.
