Chapter 107 I don't have money

  Xiao Yu looked at the old man and actually felt a strong fluctuation of the heavenly and earthly yuanqi from him, which was much stronger than his own. Xiao Yu didn't know why the old man had stopped him, could he have sensed the yuanqi fluctuations on himself? It shouldn't be possible! He cultivated the Haoran Righteous Qi, although it had materialized, to outsiders it would only seem like a kind of aura, and they wouldn't be able to sense the fluctuations on his body unless they also cultivated the Haoran Righteous Qi.

  But is it possible? According to Zhong Kui's memory, although there were also those who cultivated the spirit of Haoran, such as Confucius and his 72 disciples, none of them had materialized the essence of Haoran, but only cultivated a kind of aura, a kind of moral integrity, without leaving any trace of Haoran in their bodies.

  Since ancient times, only Zhong Kui has been able to cultivate a majestic and upright energy within his body. However, Zhong Kui is a yin soul, and the heavens have limited his ultimate development from the beginning. Otherwise, with Zhong Kui's innate talent, how could he possibly fall in the great calamity of heaven and earth?

  "Old sir, something's up?" Xiao Yu turned around and looked at the old man with a thick and honest smile. Since the other party didn't see through his possibilities, he would also pretend not to know.

  "Little brother, I see that your whole body is surrounded by yin energy, you must be haunted by a ghost, if it goes on for too long, I fear there will be a disaster of losing one's life!" The old man said to Xiao Yu.

  The old man's name was Zhang Tiande, the contemporary Heavenly Master of Longhushan. He had come to Shenzhen as a guest at the invitation of an old friend and, having nothing else to do today, thought he'd take a stroll around Antique City. Unexpectedly, just as he reached the entrance, he saw a young man with a body shrouded in yin energy that refused to disperse - clear signs of being haunted by ghosts. That's why he called out to Xiao Ye.

  As for Longhushan, Xiao You also knew that in Zhong Kui's memory, he was originally listed together with the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor Zhang Daoling in the immortal class, but Zhang Daoling cultivated Taoist skills.

  To say that Zhang Daoling was also a prodigy, after Zhang Daoling cultivated the Tao and refined his elixir to great success on Mount Longhu, Mount Longhu became the ancestral home of the Zhang family. From the fourth generation Heavenly Master Zhang Sheng of the Han Dynasty onwards, successive generations of Heavenly Masters resided in this land, guarding Mount Longhu and seeking immortality, sitting in the Upper Clear Palace to teach and spread the Tao, residing in the Heavenly Master's Mansion to cultivate their character and nature. For 63 generations, they inherited the Taoist lineage for over 1800 years, and were all revered and enfeoffed by successive feudal dynasties, holding the highest official rank and position. This formed the "Southern Zhang and Northern Kong" two great hereditary families in Chinese cultural history. The Upper Clear Palace and the Heavenly Master's Mansion received countless grants of silver from successive dynasties, undergoing numerous expansions and repairs, with the palace's architectural area, scale, layout, number, and specifications setting a record in Taoist architectural history. In its heyday, Mount Longhu had over 80 Taoist temples, 36 Taoist monasteries, and several Taoist palaces, earning it the reputation as the "Taoist capital", the world kingdom of Taoist priests.

  This old man, Zhang Tian De, is a direct descendant of Zhang Daoling, the 61st generation successor of the Heavenly Master Zhang family. The Zhang family has lived in Mount Longhu for generations, so they are generally referred to as the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Masters.

  But when Xiao Yu turned around, Zhang Tian De took a closer look and found that Xiao Yu's face was rosy and didn't have the pale complexion that would result from being drained of his yang energy by the ghostly entity, and he couldn't help but show a hint of doubt on his face.

  Upon hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yu revealed a 'you're cheating' expression and hastily retreated several steps, saying: "Old sir, I don't have any money!"

  Xiao Yu didn't want to reveal his identity as the Tian Shi because he still didn't understand the situation in the Huaxia cultivation world. Since he already knew that there were other cultivators besides himself, it was better to wait until he understood things clearly before speaking out. Rushing in blindly wouldn't do; who knows, he might even end up being sold and helping others count their money!

  Moreover, he didn't want the old man to notice that his whole body was shrouded in yin energy, which was due to raising a ghost for many years.

  "Uh……." The old man heard Xiao Yu's words, stumbled and almost fell over, and was so angry that he couldn't say a word for half a day.

  He thought he was a mighty dragon and tiger, a heavenly master, but many high-ranking officials and wealthy people wanted him to help them catch ghosts and drive out evil spirits in exchange for a talisman to ensure their safety, yet they couldn't get it. Unexpectedly, when he took the initiative to offer his services, he was instead treated as a swindler.

  "What does your life or death have to do with me?" The old man said, not even bothering to reason with Xiao Yu, and turned around to enter the antique city.

  Xiao Yu saw the old man who entered the antique city disappear into the distance, put away the smile on his face, and revealed a thoughtful expression. It seems that the聚阴伞 (Yin Umbrella) cannot be carried around all the time, otherwise, if encountered by a cultivator with a strong sense of justice, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

  Although Xiao Yu wasn't afraid of any trouble, the old man from just now may look robust but he might not necessarily be Xiao Yu's opponent in a fierce battle. However, under the premise that he didn't understand the situation in the cultivation world, it was better for him to keep a low profile. Xiao Yu shook his head and entered the antique city, heading towards the medical room.

  As the old man entered the antique city, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss. The young man's spirit and complexion didn't seem to be those of someone haunted by a ghostly entity, but what about the eerie aura surrounding him? He had been too angry with the young man earlier to observe carefully. His heart couldn't help but secretly regret that his own internal energy skills had become so poor.

  However, Zhang Tiande then thought of Xiao Yu's face that said "you're a liar", and the fire in his heart burst out. When was he ever doubted by others, when did he become a liar? The more Zhang Tiande thought about it, the angrier he became, and his original intention to go back and see what Xiao Yu was thinking also faded away.

  Before long, Xiao Yu arrived at the door of the infirmary and pushed it open.

  "Are you here to see a doctor? You don't look well?" A woman in her mid-twenties sitting behind the consultation desk in the clinic asked as Xiao Yu walked in.

  Xiao Yu saw a strange female doctor sitting in the house, with a puzzled expression, and retreated to the door to take a look. It was indeed the medical room, but when did an extra woman appear?

  "Excuse me, are you uncomfortable there?" The woman saw that Xiao Yu didn't respond and asked again.

  "Huh? Oh, I'm also a doctor working here, my surname is Xiao!" Xiang Ye only reacted after confirming that he hadn't gone to the wrong place.

  The female doctor's face, which had been full of enthusiasm, suddenly turned cold when she heard that Xiao Yu was also a doctor here. She lowered her head to read a book and ignored Xiao Yu.

  This female doctor is called Cui Xiaoling. After graduating from medical vocational school, she didn't work and relied on her relatives to find connections, coming to the antique city clinic. She came in and did a few days of work, really liking it here. The salary wasn't low, and it was very leisurely, with basically nothing to do every day. However, after doing this for a few days, she found out that there was another male doctor surnamed Xiao who was on vacation, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart.

  Through these few days of work, Cui Xiaoling knew that the clinic almost never had two patients coming in a day. If they arranged for two doctors and one nurse here, it would be a waste, and the company would definitely consider laying off one doctor. Cui Xiaoling had been very fond of working here these past few days and naturally didn't want to be laid off herself. The only way she could stay was if Dr. Xiao was laid off instead.

  Cui Xiaoling naturally hoped that Dr. Xiao would never come to work on vacation, but unexpectedly thought of what didn't come, today just got off work for a while, and Dr. Xiao came, Cui Xiaoling naturally had no good face.

  Xiao Yu saw the female doctor's expression turn cold in an instant, and he looked puzzled, thinking to himself that he hadn't offended her before. Xiao Yu saw Cui Xiaoling sitting at his consultation desk without getting up, rubbed his nose, looked around, and saw a table in the corner of the medical office, so he sat down there.

  Xiao Yu had just sat down when the door was pushed open and Nurse Zhang Xinying walked in with two thermoses. Seeing Xiao Yu sitting in the room, she was stunned for a moment, then burst into joy, saying: "Dr. Xiao, you're back to work?"

  Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Yes! After resting for more than a month, it's time to go back to work!"

  "That's great, Director Fang and Director Chen said you're coming back, let me tell them right away, I'll call them now!" Zhang Xinying exclaimed when she heard Xiao Yu say he was returning to work.

  Since Xiao Wei went on vacation, Zhang Xinying's days have been relatively comfortable, with only one or two people coming to pick up medicine every day. However, since Dr. Cui arrived, Zhang Xinying's good days came to an end.

  Cui Xiaoling relied on being a doctor, while Zhang Xinying was a nurse. Cui Xiaoling's salary was also higher than Zhang Xinying's, and Cui Xiaoling was a native of the deep sea, while Zhang Xinying was an outsider who came to work in the deep sea. She had a sense of superiority in her heart, often ordering Zhang Xinying around, treating her completely like a servant girl.

  It just so happened that this morning, right after coming to work, Cui Xiaoling said that mineral water was not good and ordered Zhang Xinying to go fetch boiled water. Zhang Xinying was alone outside and had found a job with a decent income, which she cherished very much, so she could only swallow her anger. Therefore, when she saw Xiao Yu return, she was extremely delighted.

  Cui Xiaoling saw Zhang Xinying go make a phone call, and couldn't help but curl her lip. Her family's relatives were all looking for Fang Zong, so they had naturally seen Fang Zong's powerful presence and his style of being the one who has the final say here. Cui Xiaoling was relying on having Fang Zong as her backing, which is why she dared to be so reckless.

  Moreover, she had already investigated that this Dr. Xiao was just relying on his graduation from a famous university and entered here through a tenant of an antique city. A graduate of a famous medical college did not enter the hospital to work, but instead entered such a small clinic, it seems that there is no background at home either.

  "Xiao Zhang, Director Fang is so busy with work every day, how can he have time to deal with the trivial matters of a small doctor in a medical room? Alright! Dr. Xiao, you write a leave application form, I'll take it with me when I report on the medical room's work to Director Fang later!"

  Cui Xiaoling saw Zhang Xinying pick up the phone to dial and said, already considering herself as the leader of the medical room in her words.

  "But... Director Fang asked Dr. Xiao to call him when he got back!" Zhang Xinying said with a difficult expression after hearing Cui Xiaoling's words.

  "Director Fang was just being polite, you actually believed it! Now that this matter is settled, don't interfere anymore. You're just a small nurse, what's the point of meddling in so many things? Just do your job well and I'll put in a good word for you when it's time for evaluation!"

  Cui Xiaoling looked at Zhang Xinying and said, after finishing, the gaze towards Zhang Xinying still had some disdain, as if she had given Zhang Xinying a great favor.
