Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 649 - 648: Be Careful in the Future [Fourth Update]
"Senior Brother, it's not as serious as you say. I was probably just overexerted from participating in a rescue mission on Monday, and I haven't fully adjusted yet. Now that I've overexerted myself again, it has led to this situation. If I take some good rest for a while, my hair will turn back to black," Ge Dongxu reassured.
In fact, that was indeed the case.
During Monday's rescue, Ge Dongxu was so exhausted he fell asleep directly afterward. It's only been three to four days since then, and he has overexerted his mind again, which has led to a slight damage to his vital energy.
However, if one were to dig deeper into the cause, it also had a lot to do with the last time Ge Dongxu drew two drops of his lifebound essence to make body protection jade amulets for his parents.
If it weren't for extracting those two drops of lifebound essence during the summer vacation, the two incidents of overexertion would not have caused white hairs to appear, given Ge Dongxu's current level of cultivation.
Of course, Ge Dongxu wouldn't mention this.
Fortunately, Ge Dongxu already had the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, and a true qi vortex had formed in his kidneys. Unlike others whose intrinsic vital energy would decrease with each use, he could slowly replenish it through cultivation, including his lifebound essence blood.
So when Ge Dongxu said that he would recover well with some quiet rest and his hair would turn black again, it wasn't just something he said to comfort Yang Yinhou.
"Is that really true, Dongxu?" Wu Yili asked with eyes reddened.
"Of course, it's true," Ge Dongxu said with a smile as he nodded.

"Even if it's true, you are the Sect Leader. For your own sake, and for the sake of our Pill Talisman Sect, you must cherish yourself. You are human, not an immortal; human abilities are limited. No matter how capable you are, how skilled you are in medicine, you cannot save everyone. You have a character that is too kind and soft-hearted; you must be more cautious in the future," Yang Yinhou said with a serious face.
Seeing Yang Yinhou's serious expression, and that he had said these words in front of everyone, Ge Dongxu understood his painstaking effort. It was a warning to Tang Yiyuan, Zhu Dongyu, Principal Zhang, and others to avoid seeking him out for every issue they encountered in the future since he was known for his emotional tenderness and was likely to not refuse.
In a sense, Yang Yinhou was intentionally playing the bad guy.
"Senior Brother, I understand that one's strength is ultimately limited. That's why I've already taken up a visiting professorship at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to pass on some medical knowledge," said Ge Dongxu, acknowledging his senior brother's good intentions and nodding earnestly.
"That's very good," Yang Yinhou said, his face finally softening a bit as he nodded, then added with concern, "Your complexion doesn't look good. You should go back to the hotel for some breath regulation and recovery. The environment is better there."
Ge Dongxu had been interrupted just before and then came downstairs after hearing everyone's discussions. At that moment, he hadn't fully recovered in body or mind and needed to continue meditating in quiet rest, so he nodded in response, "I'll listen to you, Senior Brother."
Then Ge Dongxu turned to Wu Yili and said, "Teacher Wu, the old lady's condition is somewhat better than I had expected. Now I will prescribe another formula to bolster her vital energy. Let her take it for a month, and while I can't guarantee 100 years, it should be possible for her to be healthy up to 90."
Seeing that Ge Dongxu had previously only mentioned eight to ten more years but was now suggesting that the old lady could live healthily up to 90 years old, indicating another seventeen to eighteen years of life, Wu Yili was surprised and moved, with tears rolling in her eyes.
She knew that Ge Dongxu must have expended a lot of his energy for her sake, especially considering that Ge Dongxu might have shortened his own lifespan because of her grandmother, which filled her with an urge to hold him tight and cry bitterly.

"Thank you, Dongxu!" In the end, Wu Yili just looked at Ge Dongxu deeply and then hurriedly found some paper and a pen to give to him.
Ge Dongxu wrote out a prescription on the paper, then handed it back to Wu Yili and said, "Teacher Wu, I need to go back to the hotel to rest now. After resting for a night, I'll recover. I'll contact you tomorrow."
"Go on, rest well," Wu Yili nodded firmly, her eyes brimming with tears.
Ge Dongxu smiled at Wu Yili, said goodbye to her grandmother, Principal Zhang, Tang Yiyuan, and others, and then got into the Cherokee arranged for him by the Dongyue Province Special Ability Management Office, accompanied by Yang Yinhou and Zhu Dongyu.
Originally, Ge Dongxu had planned to drive himself, but now that Zhu Dongyu knew Ge Dongxu's status was even more esteemed than Yang Yinhou's, and his medical skills were almost immortal-like, National Medical Master Zhu Dongyu would not have the heart to let him drive, sitting in the back himself. As someone over seventy years old and a National Medical Master, Zhu Dongyu insisted on driving and wouldn't allow Principal Zhang or anyone else to take turns.
Ge Dongxu couldn't persuade him otherwise, and with Yang Yinhou's grand gesture saying, "Dongxu, you don't have to be polite with Dongyu, he is considered half a student of mine anyway," Ge Dongxu just went along with Zhu Dongyu.
Driving the Cherokee and gripping the steering wheel, Zhu Dongyu would occasionally glance at the rear-view mirror. Seeing that Ge Dongxu and Yang Yinhou were not resting with their eyes closed, he mustered the courage and cautiously asked, "Elder Ge, you are holding the title of visiting professor at the Jiangnan Province Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and imparting medical skills, can I also come to listen?"
At Zhu Dongyu's level, he had basically everything he needed; he no longer practiced medicine for money but rather out of a healer's benevolence and the pursuit of medical knowledge.
Until now, Zhu Dongyu had not found anyone who could still teach him something, and he had thought that his medical skills had reached their peak in this lifetime. However, he had not expected to reunite with Yang Yinhou and then discovered that Ge Dongxu's medical skills had reached a realm where they could defy fate itself. Suddenly, Zhu Dongyu's heart, which had been as still as a pond, began to surge with passion.
Had it not been for the crowd just now, and the stern look on Yang Yinhou's face, Zhu Dongyu would probably have already asked for guidance.
"Of course, you can. My original intention was to use one point to radiate to many, to genuinely promote and glorify traditional Chinese medicine. However, there are already plenty of people there, and I don't have enough time and energy to guide everyone. So, you can come, but don't bring anyone else," Ge Dongxu said.
"Thank you, elder. I understand, I understand," Zhu Dongyu, seeing Ge Dongxu agree, nodded his head excitedly in succession.
Having discussed this matter, Zhu Dongyu did not dare to disturb Ge Dongxu any further and drove quietly all the way, although his emotions were tumultuous.
The car soon arrived at the Mount Santai Golf Hotel.
The afternoon conference had not yet ended, and Zhu Dongyu, not wanting to disturb Ge Dongxu and being a major figure in the conference himself, took his leave and left after dropping Ge Dongxu off.
Yang Yinhou had little interest in the conference and, with the conference's organizer not inviting him, he naturally couldn't be bothered to attend. Thus, he stayed in the villa where Ge Dongxu was, ensuring no one would disturb him.
The day's conference ended in the evening, followed naturally by a dinner gathering.
Zhu Dongyu specially went to the villa where Ge Dongxu was to invite Yang Yinhou and Ge Dongxu to dine.
