The Medical Guru

Chapter 990 – Refining Internal Qi!

“How is it?” Standing in the newly expanded Desert Cistanche cultivation base and looking at the base that was bigger than before, Fang Qiu turned to look at He Xue who had been supervising the construction.

“Yeah, that’s pretty much it,” He Xue nodded with satisfaction and said, “According to the amount of Desert Cistanche every square meter produces every year in the cultivation base, the output should be enough to supply both the domestic and international markets.”

“In that case, there will be nothing I need to do here, right?” Fang Qiu asked again.

“No,” He Xue asked curiously while dusting off her hands, “aren’t you leaving again?”

“The world is so big that I want to go out to see it.” Fang Qiu took a deep breath.

“Are you going abroad?” He Xue was stunned.

“No,” Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “I’m going to hike in the desert.”

“Oh?” He Xue was shocked.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the desert was an extremely mysterious place, which was always associated with death.

She didn’t know why Fang Qiu suddenly wanted to have such a trip, but she could feel how difficult this journey would be. Since Fang Qiu wanted to do it, it meant that he had made up his mind.

“What?” After being amazed, He Xue suddenly chuckled and said, “Do you want to prove your courage, or do you want to suffer a little?”

“No cross, no crown,” Fang Qiu answered in a flat voice.

He Xue said, “I can help you prepare a satellite phone and a GPS receiver.”

“No need,” Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “It will be equivalent to entertainment if I know there’s a way out in my training.”

He Xue nodded her head and said, “All right. I wish you all the best.”

Fang Qiu left the cultivation base that afternoon.

He planned to go there on foot.

In fact, the reason why Fang Qiu had to have a ten-day hiking trip in the desert was that he wanted to stabilize his realm.

It had been a long time since he applied this method. This was the method that the old master told him a few years ago before he made a breakthrough and became a Guru.

This method was that he needed to completely rely on his body without using any internal Qi to push his limits continuously.

This was a process of continuously refining and stimulating internal Qi in the body. Since the internal Qi was stored in the human body, its enhancement was closely related to the body.

Of course, there were cultivation methods in Wulin that were specifically used to train the body but it did not have much effect on stabilizing one’s realm.

Fang Qiu knew it very well.

The method that the old master taught him was not only to train his body but to perfect every aspect of himself, including sprits, physical condition, endurance, and so on!

This was not only a simple journey, but it was also an experience to toughen one’s will!

After receiving the old master’s reply from the Wulin forum, Fang Qiu thought of this method in the first place. But he couldn’t set aside everything to train because there were too many things to do.

Now everything that required him to deal with was done.

He had exactly ten days before the appointment he made with Lin Rusheng.

Therefore, Fang Qiu decided to go to the desert.

When leaving the cultivation base, Fang Qiu carried a bag and set off alone step by step!

In the blazing sun, he wore a cloak and was dressed like a fakir as he set foot on the road of the Death Desert.

On the flat road, the sand was flying like fluffy catkins while being blown by the breeze, scattering on the road in waves.

This road led to Death Desert that no one dared to go deep into. One would be frightened even at the thought of it.

But even though the journey was fraught with danger, Fang Qiu still saw that all kinds of people were going to cross the Death Desert.

Of course, most of them came in groups.

Only Fang Qiu walked alone with his bag on his back.

Undoubtedly, in the eyes of these people, Fang Qiu was alien to them, which attracted almost everyone’s attention.

As Fang Qiu was walking, he saw an inn in front of him.

“Sir, is there any water?” Fang Qiu walked into the inn.

“How many bags do you want?” Asked a middle-aged man standing in front of the counter.

“Bags?” Fang Qiu was stunned.

The inn owner took out a long and flat transparent bag from the counter. The bag was filled with pure water, and a straw was attached to the corner of the bag.

“This is a water bag. Everyone in the desert likes to bring this with them. The water in it is sufficient. Generally, a water bag can help a person hold on for about three days. If you use it carefully, it can help you last for five days. The most important thing is that this water bag is convenient. You can put it in the bag or clamp it in your clothes. When you want to drink, you just need to move your lips,” said the owner.

“I want a bag,” Fang Qiu nodded with understanding and bought a bag of water.

“Young man, don’t you have any companions?” The owner of the inn glanced curiously at the outside of the door.

“No, I’m alone,” said Fang Qiu.

“You can’t go alone.” The owner furrowed his brows as he added, “This desert is incredibly dangerous. You’d better not go there alone. You might never get to come back.”

“Thank you,” Fang Qiu nodded and took the water bag from the owner.

“Alas.” Seeing this, the boss shook his head, took out a business card from the counter, handed it to Fang Qiu, and said, “Young man, this is my business card. There’s my name and phone number on it. If you run into any trouble in the desert, you can call me immediately. Maybe I can help you.”

“Okay, thank you,” Fang Qiu nodded again and expressed his gratitude. After taking over the owner’s business card, he reached out his palm and gently patted the owner’s shoulder. A stream of internal Qi flowed out and instantly helped the inn owner solve his undetectable disease.

“Hmm?” The inn owner was stunned and felt a surge of heat on his shoulders, which felt rather comfortable.

However, he didn’t think too much about it, assuming that it was only an illusion.

After buying the water, Fang Qiu left the inn and went straight into the Death Desert.

Fang Qiu had been moving forward the whole day.

Just like that, he was walking step by step. Regardless of the wind blowing, the sun shining, and his dry lips, he resisted the urge to drink a mouthful of water.

It was not just during the day.

Fang Qiu didn’t stop even at night.

They walked all the way to the next morning.

After crossing a sand dune, Fang Qiu continued to walk forward on foot in the morning wind.

“Rumble, rumble…” The roar of a car engine was heard from a distance.

He turned his head to have a look.

He saw an off-road vehicle behind him.

There was a man and a woman in the car.

“Why is there a man in the front?” The woman pointed at Fang Qiu walking in front of them and asked in surprise.

“Damn!” When the man saw Fang Qiu, he immediately exclaimed. He then pursed his lips and said, “Is this man a fool? This is the Death Desert. Even driving a car here is dangerous. How dare he travel on foot?”

“He’s too bold,” the woman echoed, and her eyes fixed on Fang Qiu. When the car was close to Fang Qiu, the woman pondered for a moment and said, “How about we give him a ride?”

“Forget it.” The man shook his head and said, “He should have heard the sound of our car. If he needs it, he will take the initiative to stop our car. If he doesn’t need it, we shouldn’t disturb him. After all, everyone needs to follow their own path. Besides, we don’t know what kind of person he is at all.”

Sure enough, when the car drove past Fang Qiu, he didn’t stop it.

The car also left quickly.

Fang Qiu continued to move forward.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day.

This time, Fang Qiu met a biker.

The biker was a young man who was tightly wrapped up in his clothes. When he saw Fang Qiu, he was extremely surprised and curious. He immediately stopped his motorcycle, jumped off it, and walked side by side with Fang Qiu while wheeling his motorcycle.

“Sir, are you alone?” Asked the young man as he looked at Fang Qiu curiously.

“Yes,” Fang Qiu nodded with a smile.

Although he wore a cloak, the young man could still feel that he was smiling.

“Awesome. You’re alone and not driving a car? How dare you enter the Death Desert?” The young man was amazed.

“Isn’t this what we need to go through if we want to train ourselves?” Fang Qiu replied with a smile and then asked, “Aren’t you the same?”

“That’s true.” The young man laughed and said, “Actually, I sneaked out of my home.”

“Huh?” Fang Qiu was stunned.

“I’m about to graduate from college and want to have a motorcycle trip. I know that my family won’t allow me to do this, so I sneaked out without telling them,” said the young man.

“It’s too dangerous.” Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “Your family will be worried when you do this.”

In Fang Qiu’s opinion, this young man was too thoughtless.

The two chatted as they walked. Fang Qiu didn’t try to reason him. They were simply asking and answering questions. After chatting for a while, the young man got on the motorcycle and left.

Before he left, he and Fang Qiu wished each other good luck.

Fang Qiu continued to move forward.

It was the fifth day.

Because he had been walking day and night, Fang Qiu felt that he had walked about two-thirds of the journey. In the past few days, he didn’t rest for a second. He had been breaking through the limit in terms of his body, soul, endurance, and spiritual force.

Soon, it was early in the morning on the sixth day.

As soon as he climbed over a particularly high sand dune and felt that the flow of sand under his feet was unusual, Fang Qiu stopped.

“With this speed, there should be quicksand below,” Fang Qiu looked down at the sand dune and saw several familiar figures.

Under this extremely high sand dune, there was indeed the quicksand that was similar to a river. At this moment, there were two people in the middle of the quicksand.

It was a man and a woman. It turned out to be the young couple driving the off-road vehicle.

The car should have sunk. The two of them were obviously standing on the roof of the car, and the quicksand already reached their waists.

At the edge of the quicksand, there was a figure two meters away from them.

It turned out to be the college student.action

His motorcycle was stopped on the sand dune not far away. It seemed that he wanted to save the young couple, but he was swept in by quicksand.

At a glance, the three of them were in a miserable state in the quicksand. It seemed that they had been tortured badly along the way. Obviously, they were about to reach their breaking point.

Especially the college student biking alone, he actually wanted to save them.

It seemed that he was also a good person.
