Xu Qing's recent work brought significant rewards, both from the silver taels and coins he earned from officiating funerals.
But the greatest reward was the information and gifts he acquired after delivering the old doctor.
This doctor, posthumously recognized by Master Li Si as a godfather, was no ordinary man.
His real name was Yang Chunfu. He was born into a wealthy family, and since childhood, he had a fondness for Daoist texts and medical classics. At thirteen, he set his ambitions, and at fifteen, he bade farewell to his parents and went to Henglu Mountain to seek knowledge and the Dao.
On Henglu Mountain, there was a Songyun Temple. The temple master Ge Hongwen was a Sage of profound skills; in the harsh winter, he could make withered branches bloom, and during severe droughts, he could keep the mountain streams flowing and the wells at the foothills filled.
After hearing about the various feats of Immortal Master Ge, Yang Chunfu was determined to become his disciple.
