You Told Me to Practice Life Skills, You Leveled Up to Divine Positions

A cool breeze rustled the white cloth in Cheng Sufeng's hand.

Qin An shook his head and didn't do as Cheng Sufeng suggested. "It's getting late, I'm leaving first."

Cheng Sufeng's eyes widened. Seeing Qin An already at the door, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Only after Qin An's figure disappeared did Cheng Sufeng snap back to reality.

"He's eccentric and aloof, but incredibly talented in healing. This kid isn't simple."

The medicine cabinet was still open, filled with angelica root.

Cheng Sufeng grabbed one, brought it to his nose, and took a sniff.

To pick out angelica root from so many medicinal herbs, without being disturbed by the scent of other ingredients, required arduous practice.

His interest in Qin An grew.

Footsteps sounded outside the door.

A middle-aged man, exuding an aura as fierce as a dragon, strode into the inner courtyard and clasped his fists. "Lord Li is very displeased."

Cheng Sufeng withdrew his thoughts, glanced at the man, and said dismissively, "The newly appointed Bronze Captain has no power or influence. If I mention him under my command, how can he be displeased? He's just unhappy with my methods and wants to compare himself to me."

The middle-aged man looked up. "Lord Li says that according to regulations, anyone assigned to him, even if they die, their bodies belong to him."

Cheng Sufeng sneered. "Give him five days to complete all the procedures. If he doesn't agree, I'll make him agree."

The middle-aged man was surprised. "You want me to relay that exact message?"

Cheng Sufeng nodded, playing with the white cloth in his hand.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment. "Is it worth falling out with Lord Li over a new Bronze Captain?"

Cheng Sufeng narrowed his eyes and handed the white cloth to the middle-aged man. "Look at this white cloth. How is it different from a three-foot white silk ribbon?"

Cold sweat poured down the middle-aged man's face. "Your subordinate knows his mistake."

Cheng Sufeng said indifferently, "My colleagues in Ling Prefecture all say I'm crazy, and that I'm riding on my father's coattails. Fine, I'll show them how crazy I can be. Give me people, and I'll remember his kindness. If not..."

Cheng Sufeng didn't finish his sentence.

The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, said no more, and left the courtyard, clutching the white cloth.

Cheng Sufeng walked to the old tree in the courtyard and brushed his hand over its trunk.

The withered trunk instantly regained its vitality, its branches and leaves flourishing as if reborn.

"Interesting, so interesting. He has neither the corruption of officials nor the coldness of ice."

"I want someone like that so badly."

Time passed, fleetingly.

Ling Prefecture remained prosperous and bustling, its people still concerned with their daily lives.

Qin An, as usual, walked into East Glow Hall.

Inside East Glow Hall, there were few people.

Cheng Sufeng was packing things, fiddling with a medicine box in his hand.

Seeing Qin An enter, Cheng Sufeng pointed to the distance as usual.

"There are only a few more commoners left."

Qin An nodded and sat down at the table.

Smoke snaked upwards into the air.

[Healer Lv.2 (200/200): You have some effect in treating patients.]
[Advancement Condition: Treat ten patients (5/10)]

Since yesterday, his Healer profession had reached the peak of level two.

The advancement condition was to treat ten patients. Qin An immediately put it into practice at East Glow Hall.

He had treated five yesterday, and there were only a few people left today, not as lively as before.

The commoners came and went, and Qin An skillfully took their pulses. His diagnosis – looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse – was as natural as drinking water.

The higher his Healer proficiency, the more Qin An understood the art of healing.

The medical skills that ordinary healers spent years honing came effortlessly to Qin An.

After the five patients were treated, Qin An stood up and motioned for Cheng Sufeng to come over, while he stepped aside.

Cheng Sufeng had just finished packing and took Qin An's place, treating the remaining patients.

Qin An stood by, hand on the Black Blade, observing the snake-like smoke.

[Healer Lv.3 (0/400): You have some effect in treating patients.]
[Talent: Proficient in Qi Concealment Realm medical cultivation methods.]

Qi Concealment Realm, medical cultivation methods?

Qin An frowned.

It wasn't surprising that he had developed this talent.

As his Healer profession became more proficient, Qin An gained insights with every reading of Reversing Gang Qi.

This defensive cultivation method was more like a variation of a medical cultivation method, just disguised. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to see through it.

And because of this, no one was willing to learn it.

With the time spent practicing the art of a Healer, one might as well switch to a simpler, more direct cultivation method. It was like the Mountain-Lifting Fist before; in these dangerous times, no one would be willing to spend time on tedious, slow progress.

Fortunately, Qin An had his professional talent.

The last few patients had already left.

Cheng Sufeng packed his medicine box and looked calmly at Qin An.

The East Glow Hall had fewer and fewer people because Cheng Sufeng was about to close it.

To break through the Suwen Cultivation Method, one needed to experience the mortal world as a Healer.

But recently, he had hit a bottleneck. Cheng Sufeng felt he might need to find another way.

"I won't be opening the hall tomorrow. If you want to find me, you can go to the Evil Extermination Division," Cheng Sufeng said.

He thought that after he spoke, Qin An would surely be surprised.

But Qin An's expression remained as calm as a lake.

Cheng Sufeng hung the medicine box on his shoulder. "You're not surprised?"

Qin An shook his head. "I'm not surprised."

Cheng Sufeng asked curiously, "Why aren't you surprised?"

Qin An walked towards the door and paused slightly. "You see me without surprise, so I see you without surprise."

Cheng Sufeng watched Qin An leave, a look of realization on his face.

Ordinary citizens would likely be terrified if they saw a Bronze Captain of the Evil Extermination Division.

Yet, he had spent so much time with Qin An and hadn't shown the slightest emotion.

He was probably suspected long ago.

"What a strange person."

Cheng Sufeng shook his head and thought to himself, "See you tomorrow."

He blew out the oil lamp on the table and strode out of the East Glow Hall.

Evil Extermination Division.

The night was as dark as ink.

Qin An sat cross-legged and began circulating the Reversing Gang Qi method.

The so-called Reversing Gang Qi involved condensing Qi into needles and piercing the acupoints all over the body.

The process of cultivation was incredibly painful, like being gnawed by ants.

As soon as he began cultivating, Qin An felt intense pain throughout his body, causing cold sweat to bead on his forehead.

Fortunately, the smoke appeared in time, floating in mid-air.

[You are cultivating Reversing Gang Qi, triggering the Qi Concealment Realm medical cultivation method mastery talent]

[You discovered that Reversing Gang Qi is actually a medical cultivation method and had a sudden realization]

[You only have Qi Concealment Realm talent and cannot break through. You hardened your heart and spent a lot of Blood Essence to deduce it through tedious effort]

[Reversing Gang Qi (Initial Comprehension)]
