"Indeed!" Several doctors and experts nodded in agreement.

Li Fei frowned. "But we’ve tested the water source and found no harmful substances."

"Science isn’t everything. You put too much blind faith in science," Yang Qi said, shaking his head. "Science is just another academic discipline, like philosophy, law, or music. It’s merely a subject; it doesn’t represent absolute truth, nor can it explain everything. You claim to debunk superstition, yet you’ve fallen into another kind of fanatical belief."

He continued, "Enough talk. Since this concerns the safety of the people of Sea City, I’ll go with you. As for the patients, just have these Medicine Pills made according to the prescription I provided. I guarantee a cure. Now, let’s go to the water source. We will undoubtedly find the problem there."

"I’ve already examined the water source. There’s nothing wrong with it," Master Zhang interjected. "Scientific tests revealed no issues, and my Feng Shui observations show nothing wrong either. What problem could there possibly be?"

"Why don’t we find out by looking?" Yang Qi no longer paid him any mind, turning only to Li Fei. "City Lord Li, please lead the way."

"Yes, of course!" At this point, Li Fei’s trust in Yang Qi had grown even stronger. Although Yang Qi didn’t quote ancient texts like Master Zhang, his results were simply astonishing.

And so, the group departed from the hospital, leaving a few doctors behind with the prescription to begin making the Medicine Pills and saving lives.

「Sea City Water Source.」

This was the only river flowing through Sea City, and it was the key to solving the water crisis for its inhabitants.

Master Zhang had tagged along, clearly hoping to watch Yang Qi make a fool of himself. He wanted to see what kind of tricks this kid had up his sleeve to dare call him a fraud. While his prices were steep, giving him the air of a swindler, the formations he laid were genuinely effective. He was known as Master Zhang, a famous and respected figure in the south, known to all. Besides, he had solved numerous problems before—those that science could explain, and those it could not. He had once even cured a widespread blight on the rice paddies in a southern region by setting up a formation, a feat that became a celebrated local legend. This was precisely why Li Fei had invited him. He refused to believe that some punk who knew a little about Medical Skills would dare to show off his paltry skills before an expert. It was blatant disrespect!

Standing by the riverbank, Yang Qi activated his Heavenly Eye, simultaneously sending a wisp of Divine Thought into the water.

"The Heavenly Eye Divine Power!" Master Zhang cried out in shock.

"What? The Heavenly Eye Divine Power?" The other Feng Shui Masters were stunned as well.

In the world of Feng Shui Masters, being able to open the Heavenly Eye was an extremely rare ability. Anyone who achieved it was considered a top-tier Feng Shui Master. In the entire south, only one person had opened the Heavenly Eye—a man naturally more powerful than Master Zhang, though Master Zhang was definitely ranked second. In fact, Master Zhang’s greatest regret was his inability to open the Heavenly Eye.

Though the others didn’t know what the Heavenly Eye was, seeing the excitement of the Feng Shui Masters told them it was something extraordinary. A sliver of hope began to grow within them. Perhaps this Mr. Yang truly possessed heaven-defying abilities?

"Yi Yang, use your Divine Skills. Have the fish retrieve something from the riverbed," Yang Qi said, turning to the perpetually silent Master Yi Yang.

"Master Yi Yang!"

"Master!" Zhang Wude froze. His attention had been so fixed on Yang Qi that he hadn’t noticed who was with him. Hearing Yang Qi’s words, he instinctively looked toward Master Yi Yang and finally realized it was his own master—the national treasure-level master who was once renowned throughout the entire Dragon Country for his many miraculous feats.

"Hmph. I have no disciple like you. Using what I taught you to go out and swindle people... you bring shame to our Celestial Master Sect," Master Yi Yang said, giving Zhang Wude a cold glance. He had remained silent this whole time, unable to bear the disgrace.

Zhang Wude lowered his head. "Master, I’m truly not a fraud, just not skilled enough. Please, don’t misunderstand. And this Mr. Yang is...?"

"Mr. Yang is practically half a master to me," Master Yi Yang stated flatly.

What!

This was a monumental blunder—an offense against his own lineage! Startled, Zhang Wude scrambled to his knees. "So it is Grandmaster! This junior was rude."

Li Fei, Li Tian, and Li Yang could only stare, dumbfounded. Just moments ago, Zhang Wude had been brimming with confidence. And now, he was calling Yang Qi ’Grandmaster’?

Li Yang was ecstatic. He had truly found the right person this time.

Yang Qi paid Zhang Wude no mind and continued giving instructions to Master Yi Yang. A moment later, a fish leaped from the river and landed in Master Yi Yang’s hands, a small stone in its mouth. Master Yi Yang released the fish back into the water and handed the stone to Yang Qi.

As Yang Qi felt the stone, he noticed a series of peculiar patterns on its surface, like a seal. However, this seal appeared to be damaged.

"I’ve found the problem," Yang Qi announced, looking at Li Fei. "This is called a ’Spirit Passage Stone.’ Who knows how long ago it was left in this river. Initially, it was sealed, so it caused no trouble. But over time, the seal has worn down, and that’s what created the issue. Now that the Spirit Passage Stone has been removed, the water will no longer be contaminated. I will set up one more formation to purify the water and ensure it is completely safe."

With that, Yang Qi produced twelve Spirit Talismans and flung them into the air, where they formed a massive array pattern. As he infused his Spiritual Power into them, streams of Golden Light shot into the water. The light began to purify the river, flowing downstream through the water channels and into every home. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

A full hour passed before Yang Qi finally let out a breath of relief as the Spirit Talismans crumbled into dust, the purification complete.

To create a formation with bare hands! Mr. Yang is a true grandmaster. Zhang Wude remained knelt there, utterly stunned for a long time.

"I don’t want what happened today to become public knowledge. City Lord Li, I’ll have to trouble you with that," Yang Qi said. "I’m exhausted. Farewell."

After speaking, he got into the car with Tong Wu and left the water source.

It wasn’t until much later that the remaining crowd erupted into wild cheers. Good news soon arrived from the hospital as well: everyone who took the medicine had fully recovered. The great problem that had plagued Sea City was finally solved.

Because purifying the water had consumed so much of his energy, Yang Qi had to abandon his plans to return home, instead staying in the hotel for a few more days. He certainly wasn’t idle during that time. He spent his days recovering his strength and crafting Magic Artifacts, since he already had all the necessary materials. Although it was his first time crafting Magic Artifacts, the process felt remarkably intuitive, as if the knowledge was ingrained in his very genes.

The first step was to shape the materials, forging them with Spiritual Fire. Normally, this process would take dozens of days to succeed. For Yang Qi, however, it took only three. This was partly due to the special forging methods from the Dragon God Technique and partly because he had mastered five different types of Spiritual Fire. In short, he was incredibly fast.

Next came the carving of the Spell Seal patterns. This step took him less than a day to complete.

A glittering, golden Feathered Wings Magic Artifact was successfully crafted. Its power felt even greater than that of the small bronze sword, which he could now pass on to someone else.
