Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor
Chapter 115: Hi, handsome!

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Hi, handsome!

"Hua’er, that Doctor Fang didn’t just save Grandpa’s life, but he also gave him a heart that is twenty years younger. Tell me, can you buy that with a mere ten million?"

Dongfang Leiming was extremely astute and didn’t view matters as superficially as his granddaughter.

He reached out to touch Dongfang Ruhua’s head and continued with a chuckle, "Besides, everyone eats grains, who doesn’t have some ailments? To make an acquaintance like Doctor Fang, that’s an extra layer of security for our lives!"

"Oh, I understand now."

Dongfang Ruhua nodded, enlightened, and the delicate visage of the smiling young man in black resurfaced in her mind.

......

Yanjing City, situated at the northern end of the North China Plain, near the Bohai Bay, with the Liaodong Peninsula above, the Shandong Peninsula below, and surrounded by mountains on the west, north, and northeast, was blessed with both mountains and waters, a place of outstanding people and magical land, the site of several ancient dynasties.

When Fang Bai took his first step into Yanjing City, he felt an extraordinary aura and couldn’t help but feel elated.

This elation was not because of the many beautiful scenes near Yanjing, nor because of the bustling Yanjing City, but because the air here carried traces of Essence Energy.

Fang Bai was certain that near Yanjing City, there must be some natural treasure containing a massive amount of Essence Energy, or even a vein of Essence Stones hidden in the nearby mountains.

Previously, in Fuhu Mountain, Fang Bai had found ten of the lowest quality Red Essence Stones and was already thrilled. If he could truly find an Essence Stone Mine near Yanjing, that would be like striking a huge windfall.

If he really found an Essence Stone Vein, then for a long time to come, Fang Bai wouldn’t have to worry about a lack of Cultivation Resources.

After arriving in Yanjing, Fang Bai contacted Su Linglong on his cell phone and learned that she had arrived a few days before him and had already reported to Yanjing Hospital.

At that time, Su Linglong was out exploring Yanjing City with a group of girlfriends.

Su Linglong wanted to rush over to meet Fang Bai and then accompany him to report to Yanjing Hospital, but Fang Bai politely declined her offer with a laugh.

After ending the call with Su Linglong, Fang Bai hailed a taxi and headed straight for Yanjing Hospital.

Yanjing Hospital, a large integrative hospital combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine, was equipped with advanced medical facilities and had highly skilled doctors. It was famous throughout Huaxia and renowned worldwide, with many of Huaxia’s leading medical figures teaching there.

Even one of the current four ’National Doctors’ of Huaxia started their career there.

Fang Bai, with his internship qualification certificate, reported to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of Yanjing Hospital. He smoothly completed all the procedures and was assigned to intern in the acupuncture and massage department, starting work three days later.

As per regulations, medical interns aren’t paid, and they’re also responsible for all of their living expenses including food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

For interns from less affluent backgrounds, spending an entire year in a high-cost city like Yanjing without earning money could be quite a burden.

However, money was currently not an issue for Fang Bai.

With the few million he had obtained from Rejuvenation Hall, coupled with the ten-million-yuan check from Dongfang Leiming that he had yet to cash, Fang Bai now had fifteen million yuan on hand.

With a bit of frugality, this amount was more than enough for Fang Bai to live comfortably in Yanjing for a while.

Of course, Fang Bai’s effort to earn money was mainly to gather Cultivation Resources. If he took a fancy to any desirable Cultivation artifact, he would spare no expense to obtain it.

In that case, over ten million yuan in his possession really wouldn’t be considered much.

In the small wooden box on Fang Bai’s person, there were still ten pieces of Red Essence Stone. To the average person, these ten pieces of Red Essence Stone were considered to be top-grade jade, which could fetch tens of millions if sold on the market.

Of course, Fang Bai had no intention of selling the hard-earned Essence Stones; he planned to use them for cultivation, to increase his own strength.

When Fang Bai used the Essence Stones to cultivate, he needed to circulate his cultivation technique to absorb the Essence Energy contained within the stones. Once the Essence Energy was drawn out, it was like a person being drained of their essence.

By then, the ten magnificent Essence Stones would become ten piles of worthless stone chips, which would be impossible to sell.

After handling the hospital matters, Fang Bai’s next step was to rent a house to serve as his base in Yanjing for the foreseeable future.

Fang Bai preferred to rent a place in a quiet suburban area, ideally one with a large courtyard and close to the mountains, which would facilitate his external cultivation.

In fact, Fang Bai had enough money to buy a house in Yanjing, but he had decided to use those funds to purchase jade instead. He felt that spending millions on a house was unnecessary for the time being.

Fang Bai took a taxi and spent nearly two hours touring the eastern and northern suburbs of Yanjing, finally arriving at a village in the northern suburban-rural border, as suggested by the taxi driver.

According to the taxi driver, this village had many houses available for rent, most of which came with courtyards.

Normally, students were the primary tenants, but since the summer break had started, many had vacated and returned home, making it quite easy for Fang Bai to find a suitable house to rent.

Having arrived near the village mentioned by the taxi driver, Fang Bai paid the fare, got out of the taxi, and walked slowly along a concrete road leading to the village.

The architecture in this village was dominated by quadrangle courtyards of various sizes, each planting willows both inside and outside the yard.

Based on the architectural style of these courtyards and the age of the willows, this village appeared to have some history.

After a stroll around the village, Fang Bai completely fell for the place.

The environment was serene, the air fresh, with little bridges over meandering water streams, and homes exuding simplicity.

Standing at the entrance to the village and gazing north, he could see the towering mountains stretching into the distance.

What thrilled Fang Bai the most was that the faint Essence Energy permeating Yanjing City seemed to emanate from the mountain range to the north.

This indicated that within those mountains lay treasures or an Essence Stone Vein suitable for martial artists to cultivate.

"I’ll settle down here!"

Fang Bai decided that no matter how expensive the rent was, he would lease a house and settle in.

The taxi driver was right; there were many households in the village with vacancies. As Fang Bai strolled through the village, he noticed many "Room for Rent Inside the Courtyard" signs posted next to the doors of numerous homes.

Fang Bai visited a few of these homes but wasn’t completely satisfied with any; either the courtyards were too small or too cluttered.

"Hey, handsome! Are you looking to rent a house?"

Not long after stepping out of one household, Fang Bai heard a crisp voice calling from behind.

Fang Bai turned around to find a beautiful young girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, with long hair reaching her waist, standing before him.
