He Kao’s words were sothing Xiaopang quite liked listening to. He ran over the next day and told him, "Out of the thirty-odd people in our departnt, I’ve only found two who aren’t sick. Should I be careful when dealing with these two?"
He Kao: "Who are they?"
Xiaopang: "One is you, and the other is President E."
He Kao laughed: "Of course you have to be careful. Your master entrusted to supervise your cultivation, and President E is the head of our departnt."
Xiaopang scratched his head and said, "Why do so many people have problems?"
He Kao: "You’re not a doctor. You haven’t figured out the difference between having issues and being sick. So people just aren’t completely healthy; certain functions might be weaker, but it doesn’t an they’re sick."
Xiaopang: "Your tone sounds quite similar to my master’s."
He Kao: "Elder Lin said the sa thing?"
Xiaopang: "Yeah."
He Kao: "Then why do you say everyone is sick? Their constitution is just not perfect. Your master wants you to observe one person a day, accumulate a hundred virtues, until you reach Tier One Perfection... Did you do your howork today?"
Xiaopang: "I did! Early this morning, I found a bunch of issues with Old Zhang."
He Kao: "What about Old Zhang? Why didn’t he co for lunch?"
They were talking in the company’s cafeteria, lowering their voices as if discussing so secret. At this point, He Kao realized Old Zhang seed to be missing.
Xiaopang: "He’s already gone to the hospital, looking as pale as a ghost... Does this count as accumulating a virtue?"
He Kao sternly said: "Elder Lin’s original words were, ’observe one person a day, accumulate a hundred virtues,’ not about doing good deeds daily! Moreover, this isn’t a good deed; you were just deliberately scaring him, right?"
The so-called "observe one person a day" ans picking one observation target each day, carefully experiencing their ridians, qi, and blood flow, observing their characteristics, and analyzing possible causes if abnormalities are found.
The so-called "accumulate a hundred virtues" ans analyzing these samples to draw conclusions about balanced qi for a hundred cases. The term "virtues" here ans perfection, not performing good deeds.
Individual differences between people are huge, so enough sample size is needed to know who is relatively normal in different situations.
This is very important because the so-called normal state varies from person to person. A recovery standard for an athlete might be being able to play a soccer ga, which won’t be the sa for an old math teacher.
This is the daily cultivation for a Tier One Diagnoser.
Of course, when necessary and possible, if sothing needs tily treatnt, one could try to remind the person.
This morning, Xiaopang targeted Old Zhang because Old Zhang actively ca for a chat. Xiaopang, acting concerned, said Old Zhang looked unwell, with dark circles and purplish lips — could there be heart issues?
Then he asked Old Zhang if he had been feeling this way or that. The more he asked, the more Old Zhang felt it. Originally fine, once back at his desk, Old Zhang inexplicably started sweating coldly.
Not even lunchti yet, Old Zhang clutched his chest and went to ask President E for leave, saying he was uncomfortable and needed a hospital check-up. From his appearance, it was as if he feared sudden death at any mont...
Old Zhang indeed wasn’t too healthy, with his heart and certain other functions not being great, mainly due to lifestyle habits. But as long as he doesn’t do anything reckless, sudden death is unlikely.
Getting a check-up at the hospital is not a bad thing anyway.
Old Zhang’s case was just a little episode, sothing Xiaopang could easily get into given his temperant. He Kao only reminded him of the precautions Lin Qingshuang had instructed.
Xiaopang couldn’t find any problem with Gao Xue’e, and he didn’t pay much attention anyway. In a departnt with so many people, there have to be a few who are healthy across the board, right? He simply categorized them as "good constitution, no issues."
As for He Kao, Xiaopang’s current level couldn’t see through him.
There are various thods and summarized experiences from predecessors to determine if soone is a sorcerer, but it’s still difficult because nobody displays their cultivation realm on their forehead.
For example, Lin Qingshuang is good at Concealing Breath, and He Kao’s cultivated Stealth Skill also has excellent Concealing Breath effects, making it hard to notice anything in normal situations.
Qian Guran was the cultivator who observed He Kao the most. He previously judged He Kao’s cultivation to be at least Tier Two, mainly because ordinary people rarely have such an abundant state of Divine Qi.
But this judgnt is only a guess and doesn’t reveal what path the other person is on. However, once techniques are perford, the Divine Qi fluctuations can’t be hidden.
On the day He Kao and Ren Zhongqing clashed, not only did it expose his Tier Three Cultivation, but it also confird to Qian Guran that he was indeed Earth Master Gu Chun’s secret disciple since the Earth Formation Skill He Kao used was as skilled as Ren Zhongqing’s.
He Kao’s current situation is actually far more dangerous than Xiaopang’s, so how does he judge if soone he encounters is a sorcerer? Jiang Daozhen had considered this issue long ago, so he gave He Kao a hack by leaving him with that Divine Thought Heart Seal.
In last October’s Magic Sect disciple census, all formally registered sorcerers can be recognized by He Kao upon eting, knowing their cultivation background... as long as the person doesn’t deliberately hide.
This allows him to imdiately recognize Second Uncle Xiao Guangnian and instantly identify Ren Zhongqing.
But the hack isn’t omnipotent. Firstly, information about Elder Level sorcerers isn’t included in this Divine Thought Heart Seal, and many "wild" sorcerers lack Magic Sect records.
