"I see..." Fu Xuan's feelings became even more complicated.

In the year 8072 of the Star Calendar, the Xianzhou Fanghu was nearly one-fifth destroyed by the light arrows of the Hunt Aeon during a war with the Abundance People.

Of course, this was also to save the entire Xianzhou.

The reason Fu Xuan had mixed feelings was that... it was Fu Xuan who proposed the plan to seek help from the Hunt Aeon.

"You must be Master Fu Xuan from the Tai Bu Division Fu Xuan, right? Would you like me to take your pulse and check your health?" Chen Li suddenly asked.

"Okay." Fu Xuan, as if possessed, placed his wrist on the small pillow in front of Chen Li.

Chen Li placed his fingers on Fu Xuan's meridians, pondered for a moment, and then blurted out, "You have kidney deficiency."

"???" by Fu Xuan.

Bailu, who was sitting next to her, slapped herself in the face.

Here we go again.

Chapter 81 Fu Xuan: From today onwards, Chen Li, you are an intern at the Tai Bu Division!

"Great Augur, please, don't confiscate my Physician's Practice Certificate!" Chen Li cried, clinging to Fu Xuan's white-stockinged leg.

"You quack! What good is this alchemist's license?" Fu Xuan was furious.

I have kidney deficiency? Are you serious?

"Tonic Medicine! I need this certificate to walk my path as a doctor," Chen Li cried.

"Still want to continue being a quack doctor? Show me your Business Practice Certificate, and I'll confiscate it too!"

"Huh, Business Practice Certificate?" Chen Li was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Bailu.

Do I have this?

"What? You're operating without a license?" Fu Xuan's voice suddenly rose.

Meanwhile, Bailu huddled to the side, intently eating her lollipop.

Bailu thought that if Chen Li got into trouble, he might take all her snacks back, so Bailu decided to get rid of them before Chen Li was seriously injured. (Bookshelf)

"Uh, Great Augur, please spare me again, otherwise I won't even be able to afford food. Actually, Great Augur, I do know medicine, but the medicine I studied is Surgical Operation. However, as you know, the Xianzhou natives have the strongest rejection reaction to Surgical Operation." Chen Li clung to Fu Xuan's leg and refused to let go.

Chen Li is indeed skilled in medicine. Chen Li Xianzhou Medicine level has reached level three, and he can use the Allocate Skill Points to reach level 10 at any time.

But Chen Li didn't do that; his main goal was to Extraction a term.

He's obsessed with considering What If he accumulates enough "Abundance Value" by treating kidney deficiency, it's possible to Extraction a "kidney deficiency" entry from this matter.

If we create a Miraculous Item that can make anyone suffer from kidney deficiency, wouldn't we be invincible?

"That's true... But wait, what if your indiscriminate use of drugs causes any hidden harm to those non-human beings? Wouldn't that damage the reputation of the Xianzhou?" After being persuaded for a moment, Fu Xuan quickly remembered this matter.

"I tell everyone I meet that they have kidney deficiency, and my medicine does indeed treat kidney deficiency. Even people who don't have kidney deficiency won't suffer any harm from taking it. And I don't charge any money," Chen Li explained.

"Really?" Fu Xuan glanced at it, while Chen Li, who was clinging to his leg, glanced at Bailu again.

"That's true." Bailu nodded.

Although Bailu likes to eat snacks, she still has the self-discipline of a doctor and would definitely not stand by and watch Chen Li cheat people, unless Chen Li really gives them away for free.

"Then why do you run this business? What are you after?" Fu Xuan, puzzled.

"Speaking of which, Great Augur, you might not believe me, but I like to hear people call me Divine Doctor."

"... That's it?"

"That's not all, but it's also an important reason." Chen Li nodded.

"Anything else? Tell me everything. Then I'll consider whether to return the certificate to you." Fu Xuan looked down at Chen Li. (Bookshelf)

"I want to do something big, something earth-shattering. I want to please the Lord of the Hunt and bring him victory against the Abundance!"

"What does this have to do with you giving away medicine for free here?"

"Uh, I was thinking that the definition of Path of Abundance is selfless healing and altruism, right? There are so many people outside the realm of civilization, there must be some with kidney deficiency. I keep healing them until the Aeon of Abundance thinks I have potential and comes to bless me. Wouldn't it be perfect for the Lord of the Hunt to kill Him?" Chen Li explained.

"..." Chen Li's words held Fu Xuan captive for half a minute.

Are you serious?

He was serious.

"How did you receive the blessing of the Erudition?" Fu Xuan was completely baffled by this.

With your thought process... could it be that the Aeon of Intellect only glanced at you because he thought you were too eccentric?

"What do you think?" Chen Li asked in return.

Fu Xuan suddenly sensed that the power of Path of Wisdom was surging within Chen Li again.

"..."

Fu Xuan suddenly remembered that Doctor never gave answers, only questions.

The reason I gained insight was because the other party did not answer my question, but only gave me the perspective to see the problem.

"What you received from the Aeon of Intellect, could it be a blessing from the Erudition, whereby not answering other people's questions or asking others questions will result in receiving a blessing?" Fu Xuan asked incredulously.

"Huh? How did you know?"

"... What can this blessing give you?" Fu Xuan asked, though he was starting to lose his composure.

"It will make me read and learn any knowledge faster. In other words, it will make me even more of a genius," Chen Li said quite honestly.

In fact, Chen Li didn't find the blessing difficult to guess.

"...You should give up being a doctor," Fu Xuan suddenly said.

"Ugh, I've been clinging to you for so long, can't you just give me a break?"

"Come and intern at the Tai Bu Division. We at the Tai Bu Division are in dire need of someone like you."

"Huh?" Chen Li hadn't expected this development.

Actually, before Fu Xuan, Chen Li had also encountered Cloud Knight Army checking Chen Li business license, but he was always stopped and dealt with with Karma Coin.

Business license? Dan Shu is applying for it, but it hasn't been issued yet.

When it was Fu Xuan's turn, Chen Li had originally planned to further develop his character, but things didn't turn out this way. (Bookshelf)

"It's decided then. You come with me, and I won't report you to the Di Heng Division for operating without a license, nor will I hold you accountable to the Dan Shi Chief, Dan Shu, how about it?" Fu Xuan said.

When Fu Xuan's words reached Chen Li's ears, they automatically translated into this: Chen Li, you don't want your Dan Ding Division's Dan Shi Chief to be held accountable because of you, do you?

"Well... but I don't know how to do divination," Chen Li said honestly.

"It's alright, I'll teach you," Fu Xuan said.

Fu Xuan didn't believe anyone would be noticed by the Aeon of Intellect just because they were argumentative. Fu Xuan felt that Chen Li must have some extraordinary qualities, such as Chen Li's innate intelligence and his desire to get to the bottom of things and seek answers.

This is also one of the excellent qualities of the Tai Bu Division.

"Speaking of which, if I were to intern at the Tai Bu Division, how long would it take to become a full-time employee?"

"Other diviners may need 3 to 10 years, but you will only need one year at most. But if you follow me and learn even a fraction of my skills, you can become a full-fledged diviner immediately," Fu Xuan said confidently.

"..."bookshelf

Which companies offer a proper internship period of 3 to 10 years?

Even Interastral Peace Corporation wouldn't dare to be this shady.

It can only be said that it truly deserves to be called Long-Life Species.

"So? Do you agree? If you agree, I'll return this certificate to you." Fu Xuan tossed the certificate that belonged to Chen Li in his hand.

"Sure, but I have one condition."

"What are the requirements?" Fu Xuan asked.

"I can learn from you, but you don't need to worry about how long I study. You don't need to worry about when I get off work or what I do after get off work."

"Huh?" Fu Xuan's eyes widened.

"But I guarantee that within a year, I can become a qualified diviner. Within ten years, I will surpass you," Chen Li said.

"Interesting. Okay, I agree. But if you haven't become a qualified diviner after a year, then you'll have to accept my tutoring." Fu Xuan didn't care about a year, because for Long-Life Species, it was not much longer than 10 days.

"Deal. So, Your Great Augur, could you please return my professional certificate to me first?"

"Let go of my legs, they're almost numb from being held so tightly." Moreover, the commotion had drawn in more and more people, Fu Xuan was starting to feel overwhelmed.

"Oh."

"Please wait a moment, I will have someone bring some instructional books suitable for novice readers." Fu Xuan returned Chen Li's certificate to him after seeing him sit back down at the stall.

"Alright. Then, Your Great Augur, could you please move aside slightly? Or sit in the seat next to me? Please don't disturb me while I'm treating other patients."

"..."

What you call seeing a doctor?

Fu Xuan originally wanted to say that, but considering his agreement with Chen Li, he held back. (Bookshelf)

Then Fu Xuan sat to the side and watched Chen Li repeatedly mention kidney deficiency to the curious outsiders, and after hearing them repeatedly call him a Divine Doctor, he began to worry about the current employment situation of alchemists in the Dan Ding Division.

However, Fu Xuan didn't notice was that Chen Li's remarks would occasionally provoke those outsiders.

However, before the other party could roll up their sleeves, Chen Li had already chosen to pay to avoid further trouble.

Approval of Noble Morality... truly admirable!

"My Great Augur, I'm here!" a panting voice rang out.

Fu Xuan, Chen Li, and the others turned their heads and saw Qingque struggling to walk towards them, holding a book in one hand and a burlap sack in the other.

"It's finally here. It's been so slow," Fu Xuan complained.

Chen Li has already treated more than 20 patients, and you're only arriving now? Why didn't you come any later?

While Chen Li's rapid explanation of kidney deficiency might be partly to blame, Qingque was indeed slow. (Bookshelf)

"Here you go, Chen Li. This is what you need to learn." Fu Xuan took the thick book from Qingque and handed it to Chen Li.

"Chen Li?" Qingque, who was exhausted, suddenly looked up when she heard this name.

Chen Li was always referred to as "Dad" on the Xianzhou, but the only name he left with Qingque was Chen Li.

Chen Li adjusted his glasses and then gave Qingque a friendly smile.

"That's right, it's me."

"Huh?" After Chen Li personally admitted his identity, the effect of the Disguise Glasses on Qingque instantly weakened.

After realizing Chen Li's true identity, Qingque looked at Chen Li and then at Fu Xuan.

What happened?

"You two know each other? Perfect. No, not good. Chen Li, if you encounter anything you don't understand, you can ask me, or you can ask Qingque when I'm busy, but please don't pick up Qingque's bad habit of slacking off. Don't waste the blessing the Aeon of Intellect has bestowed upon you." Fu Xuan said to Chen Li very seriously.

"Qingque, Chen Li is a trainee I just recruited for the Tai Bu Division. You mustn't corrupt him," Fu Xuan then said to Qingque.

"Who? Me?" Qingque pointed to herself in disbelief.

You mean, I, an ordinary Tai Bu Division, would corrupt a blasphemer who caused a ruckus at the Six Lords Conference, colluded with the Medicine Master's Legacy, and even planned to seize the current Marshal of the Xianzhou Marshal?

"What? You have a problem with that?"

"No." Qingque shook her head frantically.

"Great Augur, are these all the books I need to study? They look quite thick." Chen Li asked, holding the book that was thicker than a brick.

"No, this is the table of contents. Those are the books you need to study." Fu Xuan shook his head and then pointed to the sack that Qingque had dragged over.

"???"

"Do you still have the confidence to say you'll surpass me within 10 years?" Fu Xuan crossed his arms, quite pleased with the surprised expression on Chen Li's face. (Bookshelf)

I've read more books than you've eaten rice.

"Tch, I'll surpass you in three days!" Chen Li said in a low voice.

Here it comes, the most classic part is about to begin!
