Starry Sky Professional

“Thus have I heard...”

Fang Xing consumed a drop of Bodhi Dew, and his entire being seemed to enter a state of enlightenment and meditation.

In this state, his practice of the 'Vajra Bodhi Divine Strength' was several times more efficient than before!

Golden lines of the Dragon Elephant Art appeared around him, as if he were draped in a golden-threaded jade robe.

“Indeed, there's a strong connection between the Dragon Elephant Art and the Vajra Bodhi Divine Strength... Practicing both martial arts together truly assists significantly...”

An hour later, Fang Xing stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and cast a glance at his status panel:

【Dragon Elephant Art: 359/400】

【Vajra Bodhi Divine Strength: 55/200】

“Once these two martial arts approaches near perfection, I can further comprehend the 'Universal Records of All Spirits'... According to Teacher Pan Xiong, when martial arts hit a bottleneck, understanding the Universal Records often results in miraculous breakthroughs...”

“It seems the indestructible Vajra Divine Power is not far off.”

Fang Xing felt a sense of relief and glanced again at the age displayed on his status panel: “20 years old already... Last year when I turned 19, Xia Long was with me for my birthday... Has he really been at the secret realm battlefield for a whole year?”

Even he had to admit, university was the easiest time for ordinary students to access top-tier resources.

Once the opportunity passed, after graduation, one would have to risk their life and might not even succeed in obtaining them.

Many items in the treasury, even someone as resourceful as Yin Huan truly covets.

"From the records of Immortal Realm artifacts bought, that Heavenly Gang and Earth Fiend energy... corresponds to unique cosmic qi here."

"Although one can form a Golden Core without this unique cosmic qi, integrating it during Golden Core formation can significantly strengthen the martial foundation!"

"In martial arts, foundation is paramount... The strength of the Golden Core also crucially affects the rotation numbers in the Vajra Stage!"

"Therefore, those Gang Sha energies must be collected as much as possible..."

"Apart from that, resort to top-tier healing methods, elixirs..."

At the moment Fang Xing was lost in thought, a communication came through.

"Is this Fang Xing? It's Lu Guangming!"

"Principal Lu?"

Fang Xing was surprised: "Aren't you on Starlet Eagle?"

"I've reached Blue Star on a temporary business trip, and there's something urgent..."

Lu Guangming gave a wry smile: "It's best if you come as well, to the 'Newly Established Third Hospital in the Central District'..."

A sense of foreboding welled up in Fang Xing: "I'm on my way."

...

At the Newly Established Third Hospital in the Central District.

Outside a treatment room.

Fang Xing and Lu Guangming stood side by side, peering through the glass at Xia Long, who was wearing an oxygen mask.

Or rather... half of Xia Long.

Currently, he was immersed in nutrient fluid, his damaged organs rapidly regenerating, and his limbs growing back...

Half an hour passed.

Xia Long opened his eyes, took the clothes handed to him by a nurse, and walked out of the treatment pod.

"Hmm?"

Fang Xing frowned, clearly noticing something different.

"In terms of spirit... It's still not fully healed?"

If the Xia Long who previously drank and feasted with him was a being of spiritual completion and vitality, then this Xia Long resembled his former state during training, exuding a sort of mental fatigue...

This was a very subtle impression.

“How should I put it... Fang Xing realizes that he’s not a match for Xia Long, who once celebrated his birthday with him. But the Xia Long of now, he surely can defeat!”

“It's not that he wasn't healed, it's that he got injured again...”

Lu Guangming let out a bitter laugh. “Xia Long has had bad luck. He harbors a knot in his heart and once again encountered the 'Eye of the Moon'. Without hesitation, he joined the battle, thinking it foolproof; yet, unexpectedly, this 'Eye of the Moon' was a mutant version—a 'Moon Emperor', an upper-rank kin... Even I would have to flee if I came across it...”

"Xia Long may have been unlucky, but his fate was favorable... he encountered emergency support from the Federation. Although severely injured, he was eventually saved. However, he was afflicted with the 'psychic fatigue' from the 'Moon Emperor'. Without a 'Source Sea-level' therapeutic chamber, he would have languished for many years...”

Fang Xing was at a loss for words.

Perhaps Xia Long is just fated to clash with the Moon God’s followers?

“A Source Sea-level therapeutic chamber?”

Of course, Fang Xing knew how rare such an opportunity was. Yet, having seen one in the treasury, he remarked, “Just five academic credits can grant one session of healing. I can exchange for one on your behalf...”

He possessed resources from another cultivation realm and didn't particularly value the treasury’s resources.

After all, once he mastered the ‘Dragon Elephant Invincible Divine Art’, he could dominate the duel rankings and even team up with Hu Yan Qiushui to easily complete student council tasks, ensuring no shortage of academic credits.

In gratitude, he reflected that it was Xia Long who taught him the ‘Dragon Elephant Technique’, and he shouldn’t be stingy.

Lu Guangming’s face revealed a sliver of emotion.

Though he was a Martial Arts Gold Core, obtaining a Source Sea-level recuperation opportunity was challenging.

However, students of Blue Star University had priority privileges.

“I refuse! University resources are for university students only. This is a privilege our human civilization grants you... even as an advance, betting that you will one day ascend to higher realms and contribute significantly to the Blue Star Federation!”

He gave a self-deprecating smile. “Perhaps... I am not meant for the Gold Core, but you are different. You can surely achieve it, and even the Diamond Realm wouldn't be beyond you... If because of me, the Federation loses a future Martial Sage or Martial God, I would be but a sinner of the Federation!”

Fang Xing: “Teacher Xia Long... you should have been teaching moral philosophy.”

“Haha...” Xia Long let out an awkward laugh, scratching the back of his head. “At worst, I'll just go back to teaching, slowly accumulate, and there will be other opportunities... Old Lu, you wouldn’t refuse me, right?”

Lu Guangming smiled faintly: “Of course, I’d welcome Teacher Xia Long back to the faculty...”

“No hurry for now, isn’t there another way?”

Fang Xing inquired.

“Some of the top pharmacists can also create healing potions... but the cost is even higher than a 'Source Sea-level' healing chamber... After all, it can be carried on one's person, essentially an extra life during battle...”

Lu Guangming shook his head, "Alas, I'm just a graduate from a third-rate university, and it was only after many years that I barely managed to condense a Martial Core. Here on Blue Star, I truly lack connections. Otherwise, I could have found a high-level healer, and there might still be a chance..."

"Connections? Blue Star University should have a decent network. Wait for me..."

Fang Xing stepped out of the treatment room and went to a secluded balcony, taking out his communicator.

After a moment of thought, he called the only pharmacist he knew: "Hello? Is this Li Wei?"

"What's up?" Li Wei answered, already feeling a ghostly pain in his cheek.

"It's like this, do you know any healer or pharmacist who can treat level V psychic pollution injuries?" Fang Xing asked.

"I..." Li Wei was about to say they weren't that close, but feeling his cheek, he thought better of provoking Fang Xing: "This kind of injury is quite severe, yet not lethal, truly troublesome... among the people I know, my teacher 'Ling Xu' can definitely treat it..."

"Is your teacher available?"

"Certainly not, his schedule is packed daily, appointments are booked twenty years ahead, and even for our classes, he barely carves out some time... He warned us about this the very first class: no butting in line..." Li Wei admitted openly.

"So, what's the point of saying that then?" Fang Xing frowned.

"There is still someone else... but I'm unsure if it will work... you might want to think this over." Li Wei reiterated.

"Who?"

Intrigued, Fang Xing continued, "It’s better than having nothing."

"He's a senior of mine, once extremely formidable... Teacher Ling Xu even said he had the potential to surpass him, but later he encountered the whispers of an Outer Deity during a Secret Realm battle... his current state, it's hard to say." Li Wei explained, "We met during a student council mission, he's incredibly talented, but sometimes a bit unreliable... it's your decision."

"Then... let's meet him first." Fang Xing hesitated.

"Alright, but my senior is in a unique location, we’ll likely have to go see him." Li Wei stated.

"That's fine."

After setting the time and place, Fang Xing returned to the treatment room. "Teacher Xia Long, I've scheduled a meeting with a doctor... We can only discuss the situation in person, and there's no guarantee of a cure."

"An experienced healer confident in treatment?" Lu Guangming's eyes lit up. "I didn’t expect you, Xing, to have such connections... Blue Star University truly is a top-tier institution."

Establishing ties with a high-level healer like this could be a lifesaver at critical moments, even for someone like Lu Guangming who couldn't help but envy such connections.

"They can’t guarantee a cure anyway. Regardless... let's meet them first. Teacher Xia Long, I'll come to pick you up tomorrow, is that alright?"

"No problem."

Xia Long wasn’t willing to bring harm to Fang Xing. If there was a chance for healing, he was ready to try.

...

The next day.

Early in the morning, Fang Xing left with Xia Long and headed to the location Li Wei had set.

They were surrounded by lush mountains and clear waters, a tranquil forest with birds softly chirping, creating a truly soothing environment.

In front of them lay a large hospital, where harmonious interactions between doctors, nurses, and patients could be seen from time to time.

"Green Hill Psychiatric Hospital?!"

Seeing the hospital's sign, Xia Long couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. "Back when we battled Outer Deities, the Federation's warriors suffered batches of post-traumatic stress and psychic pollution, urgently needing treatment. Consequently, numerous sanatoriums and psychiatric hospitals were built... This must be one of the oldest, and to be located on Blue Star, the doctors here must be highly skilled..."

He inexplicably felt confident about the doctor they were about to meet.

"Fang Xing."

At this moment, Li Wei arrived, carrying a basket of fruit in his hands.

Xia Long, feeling somewhat embarrassed, said, "I neglected to bring a gift; that was our oversight."

"It's alright. Senior Xu doesn't care about such things... I promised to visit him often last time."

Li Wei waved it off.

Fang Xing, however, keenly caught a different tone. "Visit? Is your senior a physician here?"

"Who told you he was a doctor?"

Li Wei replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, "Just because someone stays at a psychiatric hospital doesn’t mean they’re a doctor. He's a psychiatric patient here!"

Xia Long: "…"
