The Fierce and Powerful Immortal Physician

"Sigh~"

Xia Zhongjing sighed and shut his mouth.

He wasn't too fond of rich kids like Jin Feng and Shen Zeyu, and worried that his two daughters would be taken advantage of. But his wife, a real shrew, was determined to marry into a powerful and wealthy family, and he was afraid of missing out on two rich husbands.

They'd risk their lives to curry favor; they're completely out of their minds.

"Mom, I think Dad is right. Our family doesn't have that much capital to invest." Xia Ziruo sensed something was wrong and, remembering Zhou Hao's reminder, tried to dissuade him.

"Shut up, you're just like your dad, all you do is make me angry."

Qiu Shulan said angrily.

"Auntie, Uncle, don't be angry. If you're short on cash, I can lend you some money first." Jin Feng's eyes darted around as he pretended to be generous, glancing at Xia Ziruo's tense face. "Pay me back when you earn the money."

"Xiaofeng, that won't do. One thing at a time. I've made the decision. I'll go and process the payment this afternoon."

Qiu Shulan became happier and happier as she listened; this was truly a perfect son-in-law.

During casual conversation,

Once the dishes and drinks were served, Qiu Shulan invited everyone to start eating and drinking.

......

the other side.

The second floor.

After Zhou Hao finished Guo Kai and Guo Xuan's acupuncture treatment, the three of them walked into the private room diagonally opposite.

There were already seven or eight guests inside.

Sitting at the head of the table was Mayor Guo Songtao, next to Police Chief Fan Yunzhou and Health Director Deng Ruilin; I didn't recognize the others.

Guo Kai introduced Zhou Hao to everyone.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Hao was seated in the empty seat to Guo Songtao's left.

This is the highest level of courtesy and respect.

The dishes and drinks were served one after another.

"Teacher Zhou, thank you for your help. I'm usually very busy and haven't been able to take good care of you. Please forgive me. I'd like to offer you a toast." Guo Songtao raised his glass and turned to Zhou Hao.

"You're welcome."

Zhou Hao raised his glass and clinked it with his, and the two drank it all in one gulp.

Led by the mayor, everyone toasted Zhou Hao, and he accepted every toast, drinking one glass after another, which drew gasps of amazement from the crowd.

With his cultivation at the mid-stage of the 9th level of Qi Refining, digesting this bit of alcohol was effortless.

After several rounds of drinks, everyone was slightly tipsy and started talking.

"I have personally witnessed Master Zhou's exquisite medical skills and mysterious esoteric arts. Could you perhaps demonstrate a little more of your skills for everyone today?"

Fan Yunzhou made the suggestion while he was still in high spirits from the alcohol.

Besides witnessing Zhou Hao's prowess firsthand at the teahouse, and having heard about his subordinates Feng Yan and Xu Zhenwu, I was utterly impressed by Zhou Hao's extraordinary abilities.

He went from being a staunch atheist to becoming a die-hard fan of Zhou Hao.

"Yes, we've heard that Master Zhou's medical skills and mystical arts are extraordinary. We humbly request that you allow us to broaden our horizons," a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses chimed in.

This person is Ma Junchi, the director of the Yunyang branch of the Financial Regulatory Bureau, who holds a significant position in the banking, securities, and insurance sectors.

Guo Songtao smiled without speaking, clearly acquiescing to the request. After all, as the head of a city, it was inappropriate for him to directly discuss things like mystical arts.

The crowd, observing the expressions and understanding the situation, began to stir up trouble.

"Alright, let's cast a divination for Director Fan. Please silently think of the things you are concerned about recently, but don't say them out loud."

Zhou Hao smiled faintly, his palm trembling slightly. Three copper coins, gleaming with a faint light, were already lying in his palm. These were the Three Yangs Bring Prosperity Coins recorded in the Yin Yang Medical Immortal's Scripture.

"That's fine."

Fan Yunzhou nodded, his mind racing. People within the system are most concerned about their future, so let's see if we can take another step forward?

now,

Sitting at the lower end of the table, Xiao Ruyu stared wide-eyed at Zhou Hao's sunny and handsome face, her gaze never leaving him.

Oh my god,

How does he know so much? His astonishing medical skills and unfathomable martial arts cultivation are already shocking enough, but he's also proficient in mystical arts?

No one of your peers could reach this level.

Could he be a celestial being descended to earth, like in the novels?

"it is good."

Zhou Hao gently tossed the copper coins into the air, and the three coins tumbled and landed one after another on the table in front of him.

The copper coin displayed two characters, one on the back and one on the other: Lesser Yin.

With a slight movement of his fingertips, a wisp of true energy overflowed, lifting three copper coins into the air. After spinning a few times, they landed back on the table.

One character, two backs; Lesser Yang.

Repeat the process six times.

The third hexagram: Two characters on one side, Lesser Yin.

The fourth hexagram: Two characters on one side, Lesser Yin.

The fifth hexagram: three reverse sides, old yang, moving line.

The sixth hexagram: Two characters on one side, Lesser Yin.

The whole process was so smooth and seamless, like a magic trick, that it left all the bigwigs in awe.

"It's done!"

With the hexagrams in his mind, Zhou Hao waved his hand to collect the copper coins, calculated with his fingers, and said calmly:

"The original hexagram is Earth over Wind (升), and the changing hexagram is Fire over Earth (晋), also known as the Ascension Hexagram. The Ascension Hexagram is the forty-sixth hexagram, with Wind below and Earth above, representing wood growing from the earth."

The hexagram's text reads: "Great success. See a great man, do not worry. Southern expedition is auspicious."

This is an auspicious sign, indicating that your position will definitely change this time, and it will be very beneficial, a blessing rather than a curse.

Looking at the hexagram again, line 65 indicates good fortune and advancement.

The hexagram changes to Fire over Earth (晋), signifying the rising sun and progress towards enlightenment.

It means climbing the ranks step by step, rising through the ranks, and potentially taking another step up to the deputy director level.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in a commotion, with everyone whispering among themselves.

"Entering the deputy director-general level means that Director Fan is going to be promoted to deputy mayor. There was no prior indication of this, which is impossible."

"Yes, there's a specific role for each position. It's not time for a leadership transition yet, so we can't just promote someone out of thin air; that doesn't follow the proper procedures."

"The mayor is right here. He knows best about Director Fan's promotion. I think this Master Zhou is going to be proven wrong. How can he just spout nonsense like that?"

"..."

"Oh? When?"

Fan Yunzhou was stunned for a moment, then shook his head very firmly and said, "That's absolutely impossible."

Just kidding, for most public officials, being promoted to deputy director-general level is an insurmountable hurdle.

If there were any rumors or disturbances, I would have been informed long ago.

Besides, he has a very good personal relationship with the mayor. Whether or not he can get promoted is just a matter of his word. If he really has this opportunity, would he really hide it from him?

"It should be today."

Zhou Hao said calmly.

The entire audience erupted in uproar once again.

Only Mayor Guo Songtao was truly taken aback.

He plans to nominate Fan Yunzhou as deputy mayor in the next term, in charge of culture, health, hospitals, sports, and public security, and concurrently serve as police chief.

However, there is still more than a year before the change of leadership in the municipal government, and this idea has not even been communicated to the members of the municipal party committee yet; only I know about it.

It's simply unbelievable that Zhou Hao could actually divine this.

but,

While the general direction of the prediction was correct, it would be inaccurate to say it should have happened today, unless the current Deputy Mayor, Kim Kang, is transferred today.

That's almost impossible.

Although Jin Gang's political performance was not good, he did not make any major mistakes on the surface, and he also had certain connections in the provincial capital.

It will be difficult to remove him or transfer him before the leadership reshuffle.

at this time,

"Master, you have a call~"

Guo Songtao's cell phone suddenly rang.
