Cheng Xuri told Hou Pingzheng and his apprentice, "Each talisman is not simply a matter of drawing a pattern; it contains the spiritual power of the person who drew it. Look closely..."

He spoke very seriously, and Hou Pingzheng and Wu Guoli listened very attentively.

For a moment, the three of them formed a harmonious scene of preaching and teaching.

Caibao suddenly realized that Xuxu was a great helper; with him around, she could solve many of her problems.

For example, she doesn't really want to do those childish homework assignments from kindergarten, so she can just give them to him!

I asked a friend to do my math problems for me, and he still managed to get such simple math problems wrong!!

He broke our Caibao's perfect perfect score record, and from then on, he was stripped of the right to do homework for others, and Wenying took over.

The gifted girl is excellent at doing homework, but she's not so good at crafts.

Unlike Cheng Xuri, who is a jack-of-all-trades, knows everything, and is extremely useful.

Except for not knowing how to draw symbols.

But Grandpa said he had a real talent for feng shui.

You see, just like Dad said, everyone can sit on a small stool that suits them and wait for the teacher to ask a question at any time.

Hmm, Xu Xu is really amazing. How about we give him that assignment about digging for earthworms to catch fish and bringing the fish he catches to school?

She thought he was perfect for digging earthworms.

Cheng Xuri himself never expected that simply helping to teach Hou Pingzheng and the others would lead to him being honorably assigned the indescribable task of digging for earthworms.

Fearing being labeled as lacking talent, Hou Pingzheng insisted on going home to digest the information after the lecture before observing his performance.

Caibao, being the master, was very easy to talk to and agreed with a wave of his hand.

So Hou Pingzheng and his apprentice ran away as if they were being chased by a dog, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Chen Chuan watched his retreating figure, stroking his chin thoughtfully. It seemed that his daughter's trick had actually worked.

Otherwise, given Hou Pingzheng's age and his physical condition after just having surgery, he wouldn't be able to run that fast.

That's really great.

It seems that Lao Zheng can do more than just feng shui and change people's luck; he can also develop other businesses.

It's important to understand that for wealthy people, earning a lot or a little is important, but life and health are even more important. Some people are even willing to give up their entire fortune to obtain them.

Hmm, his little darling is still too kind-hearted. He'll teach her tonight not to let her grandfather be too idle. At sixty or seventy, he's in the prime of his life, and the more he earns, the more his sweetheart can spend. Isn't that great?

But before that—

"Caibao, has Daddy ever told you that you should do your own homework?"

Caibao's whispering with Cheng Xuri was forced to stop.

Standing in front of her father, she was being lectured.

"I don't care how you play, but you can't let others do what you're supposed to do."

"But doing homework is too boring and too easy. I don't want to do it."

"How about I send you straight to elementary school? So as not to waste your time?"

Caibao immediately lowered his head: "I'll go dig for earthworms!"

"Xuxu, grab a bucket and a shovel, let's go worm-catching!"

"Okay, okay." Cheng Xuri quickly went to find the tools his master had asked for, not daring to be negligent, and even less daring to look at Brother Chuan. He felt a little guilty.

Caibao pouted as she left the house.

She didn't want to go to primary school; she planned to stay in kindergarten so she could do simple homework every day, play happily with her younger siblings, and travel around with her apprentices.

Elementary school students are too pitiful, she won't do it!

She had seen the older children in her neighborhood carrying such big schoolbags home after school.

Then she does her homework until very late every day. Before, when Sister Alai failed her exam, her mother whipped her with a rattan cane. I heard that she does her homework until very late every day.

In Caibao's eyes, going to primary school is a miserable experience, and she plans to be a happy kindergarten student for the rest of her life.

With that thought in mind, she swung her shovel even more forcefully as she dug for earthworms.

Hou Pingzheng studied diligently for more than a week.

He studied diligently at home, trying to digest the knowledge Cheng Xuri had shared that day, and then stared blankly at the three talismans.

I'm determined to risk my life to see that so-called "qi sensation".

He was so engrossed in staring at his master that he almost went mad. Wu Guoli tried to dissuade him but to no avail. In the end, he had no choice but to stay by his master's side.

Fortunately, he recently took all the annual leave he had saved up over the past seven or eight years, otherwise he wouldn't have had so much time to stay in Hecheng.

Sure enough, hard work pays off. One day, Hou Pingzheng suddenly had an epiphany and sensed the aura that Caibao and Cheng Xuri had mentioned!

He was overjoyed.

He picked up the talisman and went to find the treasure.

Caibao, who was always good at providing emotional value, nodded with a smile and praised, "Azheng is so smart, Azheng is so amazing."

Even Wu Guoli blushed a little at such shallow praise, but Hou Pingzheng seemed to like it very much, his old face turning as red as if he were drunk.

However, he came today not only to talk to Caibao about talismans, but also to say goodbye to her.

Hou Pingzheng is from Jing City, where he works and lives. He came to Hecheng for a medical exchange conference, but he never expected that he would almost die here and never be able to return.

Fortunately, he met his master. Sometimes people say that you have a benefactor in your life, and you really can't help but believe it. His master was that benefactor in his life.

He's recovered now, and the people in Jing City are urging him to get back to work; there are still many patients waiting for him.

He has to go back.

He's been seeing Caibao every day lately, and he's grown to like and admire the little guy more and more.

In his spare time, he would teach her what he knew about medicine. To his surprise, Caibao learned everything he was taught right away.

She knows a lot about medicinal herbs; she can tell the difference between genuine and fake, good and bad, and even the year of origin with just one glance.

This... is simply a child prodigy.

Many similar medicinal herbs can be mistaken even by seasoned masters, but Caibao can distinguish them at a glance.

She really has the makings of a good doctor. If he hadn't already become her student, he would have knelt down and begged her to be his apprentice.

Hou Pingzheng taught Caibao acupuncture, which was his unique skill.

They even gave her a set of gold needles.

Caibao learned very quickly. She already knew about meridians and acupoints, and had a good memory and could remember everything she saw, so she learned very quickly.

The more familiar Hou Pingzheng became with Caibao, the more he realized the distance between a person and a genius.

Before he met Caibao, everyone praised him as a medical prodigy and a genius, and he himself actually thought so too. Now that he has met Caibao, he realizes what it means to be outdone by others.

It turns out that there are even more geniuses than geniuses.

It is a fact that cannot be surpassed and is beyond our control.

He wished he could teach her everything he had ever learned, so that she could carry on the Hou family lineage.

Unfortunately, the people in Jing City were pressing him too hard, so he had to go back.

Before leaving, he gave Caibao a jar of candied fruit.
