From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 363 - 338: I’ll Evaluate It for You

Tong Guangsheng could completely let go of this matter and leave it to Xu Chunliang, Shu Yuanhang, and Wang Jinwu to handle together.

Xu Chunliang chatted with Tong Guangsheng for a while, naturally segueing the topic to the Immortal Cave.

Tong Guangsheng was visibly startled when he mentioned the Immortal Cave, surprised, he said, "You actually know about this story?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I just heard about it recently. It seems to be over by Erdaoya. If I have the chance, I’d like to take a look."

"There’s nothing to see there, just a broken cave," Tong Guangsheng blurted out.

Xu Chunliang looked at Tong Guangsheng and said, "Uncle Tong has been there?"

Tong Guangsheng nodded; how could he not have been there? That was the most unforgettable place for him.

Xu Chunliang said, "I heard it’s where Chi Songzi taught Zhang Liang to cultivate."

Tong Guangsheng shook his head and said, "Don’t listen to that nonsense. Where on earth are there any immortals? Even if there were, would they not choose the Three Mountains and Five Peaks but insist on this little hill?"

"Uncle Tong, that’s a mistaken notion. A mountain doesn’t have to be high; it’s famous if there’s an immortal. Is there truly nothing in the Immortal Cave?"

"There’s nothing!" Tong Guangsheng felt a bit guilty. Could this kid have discovered the secret he left in the cave back then? Someday, he must find a chance to seal that cave. If someone discovers it, it would be quite embarrassing; that place was once where he had rendezvoused with his former wife.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Are there any artifacts or anything like that inside?"

Tong Guangsheng thought carefully and said, "Now that you mention it, I remember there is something strange. Follow me."

Xu Chunliang followed Tong Guangsheng into the room. Tong Guangsheng fetched a willow box, opened it, and inside was a wooden box that looked aged. Opening the wooden box, it was wrapped in cotton cloth inside.

Tong Guangsheng unfolded the cotton cloth layer by layer, revealing two copper figures, a man and a woman, each about a foot long. The copper figures were dressed in clothes that were probably sewn by someone later.

Tong Guangsheng’s eyes were filled with sorrow. These copper figures were discovered by him and his ex-wife in the Immortal Cave. At the time, the copper figures were naked, and his ex-wife found it inappropriate, so she made clothes for them, even saying these dolls represented them. He thought he could grow old with his wife, but unexpectedly she left when he was down and out.

Now with the divide between life and death, Tong Guangsheng no longer harbors hatred. What remains is just memories and regrets.

With Tong Guangsheng’s permission, Xu Chunliang removed the clothes from the copper figures. To his surprise, the figures were densely marked with meridians and acupoints. When the two copper figures were joined together, the concave and convex parts fit perfectly, yet it looked quite explicit.

Tong Guangsheng felt a bit awkward and said, "It looks better with the clothes on."

Xu Chunliang sighed internally. This thing is a treasure. Not only are there detailed markings of meridians and acupoints, but it also conceals a Qi cultivation technique with Yin and Yang elements. While the "Tianyang Chapter" can cleanse with the Book of Changes and return one to the innate state, that belongs to solo practice. These little figures seem to be for joint practice beneficial to another.

Xu Chunliang couldn’t be sure if these figures were unrelated to the "Tianyang Chapter," but he was unsure about their connection to the Inner Canon of Huangdi.

The most crucial point is that whether practicing the "Tianyang Chapter" or his "Tongtian Baodian," one must maintain virginity. With these copper figures, perhaps exploring the path of Yin-Yang joint cultivation could be possible.

Tong Guangsheng noticed Xu Chunliang fondling the copper figures lovingly. These copper figures were ingeniously designed, fitting together seamlessly, either face-to-face or back-to-back.

Even though Tong Guangsheng was experienced, he felt his face flush as he watched the young man fiddle with the copper figures. "If you like them, I’ll give them to you."

Xu Chunliang said, "I’ll take them back and give them a good polish for you, and return them once they’re polished."

Tong Guangsheng thought to himself that this was the first time he’d heard of polishing such things. He was generous and straightforward, especially since Xu Chunliang asked directly. "No need to return them, they’re yours now, but I’ll keep the clothes." Actually, the copper figures held little meaning for him. What was truly worth keeping were the little clothes on the copper figures, sewn stitch by stitch by his ex-wife.

Xu Chunliang didn’t want the clothes, happily stored away the copper figures, and began teaching Tong Guangsheng the Blood Nourishing and Essence Returning Skill. Tong Guangsheng diligently practiced as instructed over this period and significantly felt his physical improvement, although he believed it was mainly due to post-surgery recovery.

Tong Guangsheng didn’t stay long on Weishan Island, as his daughter-in-law urged him to return to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up, necessary for subsequent treatments based on his condition.

Tong Guangsheng listened to his daughter-in-law without objection, so two days later he went to stay in Changxing Hospital. Xu Chunliang and Shu Yuanhang accompanied him back to Dongzhou.

Upon hearing that Tong Guangsheng was admitted to Changxing Hospital, Zhao Feiyang made special arrangements for a VIP room and, along with Secretary Gao Xinhua, came to visit him right away. Zhao Feiyang’s eagerness to recruit talent was demonstrated to the fullest.

Tong Guangsheng knew very well that Zhao Feiyang wasn’t coming over for him. He expressed his gratitude for Zhao Feiyang’s arrangements, and Zhao Feiyang exchanged a few pleasantries, asking Gao Xinhua to accompany Tong Guangsheng to catch up.

Shu Yuanhang saw Zhao Feiyang out. Zhao Feiyang smiled and asked, "Professor Shu, have you made your decision?"

Shu Yuanhang replied, "I’ve discussed it with my family. We’ve decided to join Changxing."

"That’s great! I’ll have someone arrange the contract right away. We must give this a grand announcement." They had already discussed most of it when they met in Nanjiang last time. Shu Yuanhang didn’t decide immediately because he wanted to discuss it further with his wife, which is a proper respect between a couple. Although Ruan Xingmei is from An Nan, she respects Chinese traditions even more than most Chinese nationals. She believes that it’s natural for a wife to follow her husband.

Shu Yuanhang knew it was impossible to join quietly. Changxing would certainly not miss out on such a great opportunity for publicity. His and his wife’s joining would raise Changxing’s thoracic and hematology departments to a higher level and, without modesty, would make them stand out in the entire Dongzhou Region.

Shu Yuanhang expressed his desire to assemble his own team to Zhao Feiyang.

Zhao Feiyang said, "No problem. You can choose freely from our hospital’s surgical staff. If you feel that the current staff doesn’t meet the requirements, I can recruit from outside."

Shu Yuanhang smiled and said, "I’ve just arrived and am not completely familiar with the real standards of your hospital’s cardiothoracic department. How about this: arrange for me to work in the cardiothoracic department for a month as a trial period, and treat me like an ordinary doctor. After a month, I will make my choices."

Zhao Feiyang nodded. Even though Shu Yuanhang had a great reputation, Zhao Feiyang hadn’t witnessed his actual abilities. A month would be enough to assess his skills. It wasn’t that Zhao Feiyang didn’t trust him; rather, it would allow Shu Yuanhang to win over the others in that month.

The phenomenon of the intelligent belittling each other exists in hospitals too, with peers or even superiors and subordinates often being competitive and secretly challenging one another. This becomes one of the main reasons for internal friction in hospitals. Which department doesn’t have cliques? Which specialty is free from intrigue?

A trial period wasn’t necessary at all. Regardless of Shu Yuanhang’s skills, his fame alone was enough to bring about significant social effects for Changxing, and where there are effects, there will be benefits. Zhao Feiyang was very optimistic about Shu Yuanhang and believed he could single-handedly elevate Changxing Hospital’s cardiothoracic department to the top level in the entire Dongzhou.

Shu Yuanhang further said, "As for you wanting me to take up the role of vice dean, I cannot accept. I come from a professional background, and treating patients is my primary duty. I don’t have the energy to handle other administrative tasks."

Zhao Feiyang laughed, "Don’t worry. There won’t be specific tasks arranged." Changxing generally gave the honorary title of vice dean to those introduced as discipline leaders. This led to a swift increase in vice deans recently, and the staff often joked that the vice deanship at Changxing was like a wholesale product, almost worthless, with less real power than even a dean’s assistant. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Shu Yuanhang smiled and said, "If there are no specific tasks, then being a vice dean holds no meaning for me. I personally don’t care much for such honorary titles."

Zhao Feiyang, seeing his insistence, could only let it go. Given Shu Yuanhang’s past operating environment was vastly different from that in the country, he didn’t understand the local rules. However, this was perhaps a good thing, allowing him to focus solely on the business aspect.

At this time, Xu Chunliang walked over, and seeing the two of them, he quickly came over to say hello.

Zhao Feiyang said, "Xiaoxu, I’ve been looking for you."

Xu Chunliang knew that Zhao Feiyang had not been having a smooth time recently and might look for trouble with him. However, it didn’t matter to him; he wasn’t afraid before, and he’s not afraid now. If Zhao Feiyang dared to make things difficult for him, he could bring in Tang Jinglun to handle it, believing that every tough situation can be managed with the right approach.

Shu Yuanhang noticed they had things to discuss and left, citing an excuse of having another engagement.

Xu Chunliang, grinning, said, "Dean Zhao, how did the talk with Shu Yuanhang go?"

"Not bad. You deserve some credit for this," Zhao Feiyang hadn’t forgotten that it was Xu Chunliang who recommended Shu Yuanhang to him.

"Let’s get practical here. How about some bonus?"

Zhao Feiyang glared at him, "Are you still short on money, kid?"

"Of course I am. How could I not be? I’m not married yet, and it’s precisely the time when I need money."

Zhao Feiyang frowned at the mention of marriage. He was extremely resistant to the idea. Ever since Pei Lin got pregnant, he felt things hadn’t been going smoothly for him.

This woman was no easy matter, having caused him endless trouble lately. First, there were rumors with Xu Chunliang, and now she was planning to join Huanyan Health, never giving him a break.

Zhao Feiyang had just learned that Tang Jinglun met Pei Lin privately and planned to have her responsible for the physical examination and cosmetic treatments. He had no excessive reaction this time because he was very clear that, no matter how he opposed it, Pei Lin wouldn’t change her decision.

Zhao Feiyang realized he was just beginning to understand Pei Lin. This woman not only lacked a sense of security but was also quite selfish. She wasn’t content to be his supportive wife and could never sacrifice everything for him. Instead, she wanted to use her identity and status to create value for herself.
