Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 492 - 491: The Leading Lady’s Phone Call

"How could this be? Could it be that your Cherishing Flowers Sect transmits its teachings only through a single line?" Ge Dongxu asked, somewhat surprised by the revelation.

"This matter is actually a disgrace of our sect, which I have never discussed with anyone else, not even our leader," Ma Xiaoshuai said with a self-deprecating laugh. "Actually, our sect originally had quite a number of members, but due to the peculiar nature of our Cultivation Method, many from our sect who ran brothels were executed during the early liberation period. Later, in the crackdown of the '80s, some sect members who couldn't control themselves committed crimes despite the risks and were executed. In recent years, we had one granduncle and a few fellow sect brothers who sadly passed away from AIDS."

After hearing this, Ge Dongxu was stunned for a long time, and after a while, he could not help but say with mixed emotions, "So the so-called 'passing through a crowd of flowers without a leaf sticking' in your sect refers to harvesting yin to replenish yang!"

"It's not just that. 'Passing through a crowd of flowers without a leaf sticking' refers not only to harvesting yin to replenish yang but also to tempering one's mental state. It means one should not develop real feelings for the women involved. The reason I suffered from deviation recently is not only because, as Director Ge mentioned, my True Qi was extremely impure, but also because I mistook a college student, who was compelled by family circumstances to sell herself, for a common prostitute. This left a deep mental scar, and during cultivation, various inner demons emerged, causing me to lose control over my True Qi and leading to my deviation," Ma Xiaoshuai explained.

After hearing this, Ge Dongxu looked at Ma Xiaoshuai intently, then fell into deep thought for a long time before finally gaining some insight, "The phrase 'passing through a crowd of flowers without a leaf sticking' implies harvesting yin to replenish yang, and such a method of cultivation inevitably leads to impure True Qi. Hence, it is accompanied by 'not a leaf sticks' to continuously temper your mental state, enabling you to control the impure True Qi. Otherwise, any women you've been involved with during cultivation could trigger a deviation."

"Exactly, that's how my master taught me," Ma Xiaoshuai said with a bitter smile.

"If that's the case, I really can't offer you any guidance," Ge Dongxu said as he looked at Ma Xiaoshuai and smiled bitterly.

Ma Xiaoshuai's method of cultivation, to put it frankly, was already considered heretical.

Fortunately, Ma Xiaoshuai had a good temperament and did not become a notorious womanizer. Instead, he frequented entertainment places and engaged in dual cultivation with women of the lower class, and even inadvertently developed an attachment after an encounter with a woman of good family, instead of causing harm, which Ge Dongxu would have had to intervene to prevent.

"It is a pity that the thousand-year legacy of Cherishing Flowers Sect is going to end with me," Ma Xiaoshuai said sadly, seeing that Ge Dongxu was also at a loss to help.

If Cultivation was to stop here, spreading such a method would be no different from harming others, and with a despairing heart, Ma Xiaoshuai no longer planned to continue the Cherishing Flowers Sect's legacy.

"Thousands of years of legacy? Your Cherishing Flowers Sect has had a legacy for thousands of years?" Ge Dongxu asked, slightly stunned.

"Yes, it is said that Peng Zu was the founder of our sect, though I don't know if that's true or not. Regrettably, the loss of our sect's transmission has been severe. Before our Grandmaster Ancestor, there were a few who had reached the Qi Cultivation Sixth and Seventh Layer, but ever since him, each generation has been progressively worse. Now here I am, the sole remaining member, and unable to even reach the Qi Cultivation Third Layer in this lifetime," Ma Xiaoshuai said with a bitter smile.

In Huaxia Country, Peng Zu is also considered a legendary immortal figure who, according to legend, lived over eight hundred years and had over a hundred wives, being a progenitor of sexual practices in historical legends.

"Given your method of cultivation, unless one is exceptionally gifted, aspiring to reach the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer or higher is practically foolish dreaming. Unless 'Passing through a crowd of flowers without a leaf sticking' has some other meanings," Ge Dongxu said.

"There probably isn't any other explanation. My master taught me just that. Although much of the Cherishing Flowers Sect's transmission has been severely lost, the phrase 'Passing through a crowd of flowers without a leaf sticking' has been consistently handed down," Ma Xiaoshuai replied.

"What level did your master achieve in his cultivation?" Ge Dongxu asked.

"The same as mine, the Second Layer," Ma Xiaoshuai began to respond but then stopped halfway.

If even his master had only reached the Qi Cultivation Second Level, how could he possibly know if there was a problem with the mental method?

"Alright, don't disturb me. Let me think it through carefully; the issue should lie within this phrase," Ge Dongxu gestured with his hand.

Ma Xiaoshuai quickly closed his mouth and didn't even dare to breathe heavily, nervously watching Ge Dongxu.

This not only concerned his future cultivation, but also the inheritance of the Cherishing Flowers Sect.

The "hundred flowers" definitely referred to various types of women, and "a leaf that doesn't touch the body" meant not to harbor feelings for these women. That seemed correct too, but where exactly was the problem?

Although Ge Dongxu was convinced that the problem lay in the phrase "passing through the myriad flowers, a leaf doesn't touch the body," a saying passed down by the Cherishing Flowers Sect, he still couldn't figure it out even after sitting cross-legged on the grass for a while.

Just when he was without a clue, Ge Dongxu's phone vibrated again.

Ge Dongxu took it out and saw it was Wu Shiyi, who had become the leading hostess due to "Happy Girl Voice" on the provincial entertainment channel. He couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

Wu Shiyi was a smart woman. Since returning from the capital, she had only sent him a message during holidays to greet him and never called to bother him.

"I say, big host, what kind of wind blew today for you to call me?" Remembering everything that had happened on the plane and in the capital with Wu Shiyi, Ge Dongxu quickly replaced his surprised expression with a smile and answered the phone teasingly.

"What's up, Dongxu, you just love to tease me! In front of you, what kind of big host am I! Even if I am, that's because you supported me, that's how I got to where I am today!" A coquettish voice came from the phone.

"Haha, I didn't support you, you're good at hosting on your own. Okay, tell me, what's the reason for your call?" Ge Dongxu laughed and asked.

"It's not me looking for you, it's Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie who want to find you. I just haven't talked to you for a long time and took the opportunity to say hello," Wu Shiyi said.

"Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie? Are they still in Linzhou City?" Ge Dongxu was slightly startled, then a pang of guilt surged in his heart.

Since the last time he met Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie at the revolving restaurant at Mingyue Lake, Ge Dongxu had been busy with various things, including military training at university, and had forgotten about their filming in Linzhou.

Although Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie were just minor figures and he didn't have much friendship with them, the problem was they were roommates and close friends of Jiang Lili.

And Ge Dongxu, as Jiang Lili's boyfriend, had ignored them completely, failing to extend the hospitality due a landlord, which was clearly a neglect of them, at least that's what Ge Dongxu now believed.

As for Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie, they wouldn't think so. For a big shot like Ge Dongxu to think of them and specifically contact Wu Longcai, a major director, to arrange important supporting roles for them, they were actually overwhelmed with gratitude. If it weren't for the fact that their filming was finished and they were returning to the capital to continue their studies today, they wouldn't have dared use Wu Shiyi's phone to make this intrusive call.

"Yes, I'll let them speak to you," Wu Shiyi replied, then handed the phone to Jin Yushan.

"Dongxu, it's me, Jin Yushan," Jin Yushan took the phone, slightly excited and nervous as she spoke.

"Hello Yushan, I'm sorry, you and Sijie came to Linzhou and I haven't been a good host," Ge Dongxu said, feeling very guilty.
