“Yes, I have no doubt. Take it!” Gao Jianfei said fiercely.
Soon, the intelligent program completed the task acceptance process for Gao Jianfei, and then added, "Dear user, I have accepted 8 level 5 tasks and 11 level 4 tasks for you. The total value is 70 exorcism points. You will receive this generous amount of experience as long as you kill Uncle Nao. The task deadline is six months."
"Okay, I understand." Gao Jianfei nodded, and then, in a flash, he left the ghost den.
"Damn, I used to think that Sister Hong was a big devil, with blood and sin on her hands. But now it seems that compared to Uncle Yao, Sister Hong is just a kindergarten kid!" Gao Jianfei muttered to himself.
Over the next few days, Gao Jianfei waited for Hu Qingniu's ghost to be pieced together, while also writing down all his upcoming tasks in a notebook, reviewing them, and memorizing them.
On the other hand, Gao Jianfei began to investigate his uncle through various channels.
It involves investigating by collecting unofficial information from the public.
After a full day of investigation, Gao Jianfei learned that Uncle Yao was actually the head of the entire province's underground forces, with tens of thousands of henchmen under his command. The group possessed immense economic power and had intricate connections with officials. Moreover, Uncle Yao's thugs included black market boxing champions, Muay Thai experts, karate masters, and gunmen hired from abroad, among others.
In short, Uncle Yao is definitely a B-level big shot to Gao Jianfei right now!
Gao Jianfei wasn't in a rush to kill his uncle. He needed to take things one step at a time. In any case, he had six months to plan how to kill his uncle.
If Gao Jianfei were to impulsively rush to assassinate his uncle now, it would most likely end in a disastrous failure. He possesses the Super Ghostly Instrument; all he needs is time!
Just as Li Xunhuan said... When your martial arts reach a certain level, who in the world cannot be killed?
While Gao Jianfei stayed in D City, methodically piecing together the ghosts according to his plan, he went back to his hometown of ZG City to accept the mission. The Qingcheng Sect members, however, were growing impatient.
They staked out the location for several days. Moreover, the main roads in ZG City were completely blocked off, but Gao Jianfei remained calm and did not show his face at all.
At the entrance of the Nanhu International Community, there are usually a dozen or so disciples of the Qingcheng Sect and dozens of local underground members, taking turns to monitor the area day and night. However, they haven't been able to spot even a shadow of Gao Jianfei!
Later, the Qingcheng Sect members became anxious and even bribed several residents in the neighborhood to go check on Gao Jianfei. The result shocked them greatly… Gao Jianfei had no home!
Inside the Huidong Hotel.
"How is this possible?" Luo Huazi was almost going crazy! "What on earth is Gao Jianfei up to? He doesn't even have a home! Where is he hiding?"
Upon hearing this, the Qingcheng Sect disciples in the room fell silent.
At the beginning, they were confident that even if Gao Jianfei was just a fly, they would definitely be able to catch him, but in fact, that was not the case!
Finally, after a moment of silence, Luo Yangzi looked up and said, "Senior Brother Luo Huazi, I have to admit that we underestimated Gao Jianfei from the very beginning. We still can't be sure if he has left ZG City, but continuing to wait and wait like this is pointless!"
Luo Huazi coldly glanced at his fellow disciples. "Then tell me, what should we do now? Are we supposed to storm into this neighborhood to investigate? That's impossible! This neighborhood contains government-subsidized housing in ZG City. Fifty percent of ZG City's wealthy and upper-class residents live here. We can't openly investigate! That would inevitably cause a commotion in the secular world! If our fellow practitioners in the internal martial arts circle find out, they will surely condemn our Qingcheng Sect! Besides, we hundreds of Qingcheng disciples have blocked off several cities and still can't catch a young man. Instead, we're making such a fuss. If this gets out, how will our Qingcheng Sect save face?"
Luo Yangzi gritted his teeth, "Senior Brother Luo Huazi, in fact, things haven't gotten completely bad yet. The Song family, the top referee family in the secular gambling world, haven't we already bribed them? We can use their connections to lure Gao Jianfei out!"
"Phew..." Luo Huazi took a deep breath. "Fortunately, we had prepared for the Song family as a pawn beforehand, otherwise, we would have been in a real mess!"
"Ha, the Song family... the Song family!" The many Qingcheng Sect disciples relaxed.

Chapter 229 Exquisite Medical Skills!
After accepting a series of tasks, Gao Jianfei did not rush to take action. He waited until Hu Qingniu's soul was pieced together and then collected into the ghost den.
Well, Gao Jianfei's days weren't boring at all. Although he lived in a cramped two-story self-built house in the countryside, he had plenty of supplies, so he had no worries about food or clothing, and he could even watch TV online. His personality was such that he could endure loneliness and didn't mind being a homebody, so several days passed by in the blink of an eye.
Finally, one day, the intelligent program reminded Gao Jianfei in his ear...
"Dear user, congratulations! The soul of the Level 3 Ghost Hu Qingniu has been pieced together and placed in Ghost Nest Room 3-2. You can see him soon! For piecing together the Level 3 Ghost Hu Qingniu, you have gained a total of '5500' Ghost Exorcism Points and '5500' Experience Points. Please keep up the good work and piece together more Level 3 Ghosts to place in Ghost Nest to level up as soon as possible!"
After much anticipation, Hu Qingniu finally arrived!
Gao Jianfei was overjoyed and immediately entered the ghost's den with a single thought!
In the den of ghosts.
"Dear user, welcome to your haunted home!" the intelligent program said solicitously.
Gao Jianfei opened the virtual display screen and scanned...
"The Exorcist: Gao Jianfei"
Age: 22
Level: 3
Exorcism Point: 150/107005
Experience: 107000
Experience required to upgrade to Level 4 Exorcist: 993,000
Of course, accumulating experience points this way is very slow. You still need to gain experience by completing tasks.
Gao Jianfei ran up to the third floor of the Ghost Den. He stood at the door of room number 2.
The door was ajar.
Gao Jianfei pushed the door open and went in!
What you see before you is a beautiful outdoor place!
Green mountains, clear waters, valleys, and streams.
Gao Jianfei walked straight in, following the mountain path lined with wildflowers of various colors, and slowly entered the secluded valley.
The further you go in, the more butterflies flutter around you.
Moreover, those butterflies were not afraid of people at all; in fact, they hovered and fluttered around Gao Jianfei's body, very happily.
Gao Jianfei's heart skipped a beat... "Huh? This is Butterfly Valley?"
He knew that the place where Hu Qingniu lived in seclusion was called "Butterfly Valley." What a picturesque place!
Gao Jianfei grew increasingly curious as he walked. After walking for a few minutes, a tranquil valley came into view. In the valley, there were several thatched huts.
Several gardens filled with herbs appeared in front of the thatched house.
The valley is teeming with butterflies, a sight to behold.
A fragrant aroma of medicine wafted out from one of the thatched huts.
Gao Jianfei walked directly to the door of the thatched hut, peeked inside, and saw that the door was wide open. He craned his neck and looked inside, where he saw a lean, middle-aged man sitting beside a medicine stove, fanning the fire with a palm-leaf fan. Seeing Gao Jianfei standing at the door, the man immediately smiled and said, "So it's the owner of this place, Xiao Gao. I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner!" With that, he stood up, clasped his hands in a slight bow to Gao Jianfei.
Hu Qingniu?
Gao Jianfei glanced at the middle-aged man... It seemed that this young man was a polite person, which was a far cry from his nickname of 'refusing to help someone in distress'.
Hu Qingniu came out directly and accompanied Gao Jianfei out of the thatched hut, where they sat down at a stone table.
Gao Jianfei's first question was, "Are you the medical genius Hu Qingniu? Are you the Butterfly Valley Healer Hu Qingniu?"
"Ha," Hu Qingnian's face showed no humility whatsoever. He nodded, "I dare not accept the title of 'Immortal Healer,' but I am quite pleased that Xiao Gao told me to 'refuse to save someone in distress.'"
Gao Jianfei chuckled, thinking to himself, "This guy does have a bit of a temper." Of course, he and Hu Qingnian didn't have much in common. Gao Jianfei said, "Teacher Hu Qingniu, to be honest, the reason I brought you here today is to learn your medical skills."
Hu Qingniu smiled slightly, "Xiao Gao, I think you're quite clever. With my guidance, you'll easily reach the level of Bian Que and Hua Tuo in terms of medical skills! I have two medical books here, one is 'Treatise on the Belt Meridian,' and the other is 'Classic of Midnight-Noon Acupuncture,' which are my lifelong research in medicine and the result of my painstaking efforts. Take them and study them carefully!"
As he spoke, Hu Qingniu took out two thick, thread-bound, handwritten medical books from his bosom.
Gao Jianfei thought to himself, "Why would I need to read your damn medical book? With the learning function of the Super Ghost Instrument, all my problems will be solved."
Gao Jianfei smiled and didn't take the medical book Hu Qingniu handed him. Instead, he said with a smile, "Alright, let's start learning!"
Suddenly, Hu Qingniu said, "Xiao Gao, I have a favor to ask, I wonder if you could help me?"
"Huh?" Gao Jianfei was taken aback. He had encountered so many virtual ghosts, but none of them had ever made such a blatant request of him!
At this moment, the intelligent program's voice reminded Gao Jianfei, "Dear user, ghosts that have reached level 3 can make some requests of you. If you fulfill their requests, you can obtain some items from them for free without spending exorcism points! For example, Mu Wanqing's request is to share a room with you. If you fulfill her request, you can obtain a poison arrow firing mechanism and a large number of poison arrows from her. If you fulfill Hu Qingnian's next request, you can obtain a large number of herbs from him for free. Of course, you can also ignore these requests."
"Ah! I understand!" Gao Jianfei slapped his forehead, then turned directly to Hu Qingniu and said, "So, Teacher Hu Qingniu, what do you want me to help you with?"
Hu Qingniu said sincerely, "Xiao Gao, my wife Wang Nangu has lived a lonely and miserable life. Moreover, she has always been at odds with me. Although my wife and I love each other, we are often separated. If you could bring my beloved wife Wang Nangu here with you, I would be extremely grateful!"
As he spoke, Hu Qingnian stood up and bowed to Gao Jianfei.
By piecing together the soul of Hu Qingniu's wife, Wang Nangu, Hu Qingniu's wish can be fulfilled, thereby obtaining a large amount of medical equipment and herbs from him for free!
"Okay! I'll definitely fulfill your request when I have the chance!" Gao Jianfei readily agreed.
Hu Qingniu's request wasn't unreasonable. For Gao Jianfei, it was practically a simple matter of doing something easy. It would only take some time and a few exorcism points. Besides, Gao Jianfei had read the novel *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber*. Hu Qingniu's wife, Wang Nangu, wasn't a useless woman.
They specialize in researching poisons!
Hu Qingniu was known as the "Medical Immortal," while Wang Nangu was known as the "Poison Immortal."
Taking in Wang Nangu was actually beneficial to Gao Jianfei!
Therefore, Gao Jianfei agreed without even thinking it over.
Then, Gao Jianfei said to the intelligent program, "Alright, now you can open the learning space!"
At Gao Jianfei's command, the intelligent program naturally obeyed... "Super Ghost Instrument, learning space activated!"
In an instant, the environment in which Gao Jianfei and Hu Qingniu found themselves changed drastically.
They arrived at a pharmacy. Inside, there were a large quantity of herbs, some simple ancient medical instruments, and some doll models covered with drawings of human meridians and acupoints.
Gao Jianfei formally began learning medicine from his master, the legendary physician Hu Qingniu.
Thanks to the powerful learning capabilities of the Super Ghost Instrument Learning Space, Gao Jiande's progress in learning medical skills can be described as rapid as progressing by leaps and bounds.
Distinguish between various herbal medicines.
Carry the prescription.
Learn acupuncture.
Learn about cupping.
Learn various massage techniques.
One point is worth noting: Hu Qingniu was an outstanding traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
In fact, his method of treating illnesses is exactly the same as that of all traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in ancient times!
It's nothing more than observation, listening, questioning, and palpation.
Taking the pulse, making a diagnosis, prescribing medicine, acupuncture...
However, there are many intricacies to these basic skills.
The key to Hu Qingniu's medical skills, which surpassed all other traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in his virtual world, lies in... the dosage of the medicine when prescribing it; and the timing, depth, and force of needle insertion during acupuncture.
Even the control of patients' emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness during acupuncture is a subject of extensive research.
In Hu Qingniu's words, with traditional Chinese medicine, the same prescription can kill some doctors, fail to cure others, and even if it does cure, it can cause side effects!
