The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 147: Amulet_l

Kingsley Harrison laughed and said, “It’s fine if you haven’t thought of anything yet, just call me when you’re ready.

I’m not boasting, but when it comes to running a network of contacts, I might not be as good as old Abbott, but if we’re talking about choosing locations for stores and managing hotels, he’s far behind me.

Kylie Lampe gave him a glance and complained, “What are you talking about?

Iris is still here.”

Kingsley Harrison laughed heartily and said, “Haha, no worries, Lois won’t tell

Abbott.”

“That remains to be seen.”

Lois Abbott smiled and said with a twinkle in her eye, “If Uncle Kingsley wants me to keep a secret, he’ll have to bribe me.”

“Haha, no problem.”

Kingsley Harrison laughed and said, “Tell me what you want, as long as Uncle

Kingsley has it, you can have anything.”

Lois Abbott said with a smile, “Nothing much, just craving Auntie’s sweet and

sour fish.”

“Hey, I thought it was something serious. I’ll go buy fish now, and you guys can have lunch here.”

Saying this, Kylie Lampe changed her clothes and went out to buy groceries.

The three of them sat in the living room and chatted for a while, and Kingsley

Harrison asked about the old man’s condition again.

Greg Jensen pondered and said, “Looking at the old man’s current condition, it’s quite optimistic. With some nourishment and further rehabilitation exercises, he might recover some of his ability to move.”

“Is… is that true?” Kingsley Harrison was immediately astonished. It was already amazing enough that they could wake the old man up.

And now he could possibly regain his ability to move?

He couldn’t help exclaiming, “Greg’s medical skills are really amazing!”

“You flatter me, Uncle Kingsley,” Greg Jensen said modestly.

At noon, Kylie Lampe prepared a big table of dishes, including the sweet and sour fish Lois Abbott craved the most.

The sweet and sour fish turned out to be excellent, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and deliciously sweet and sour, a feast for the eyes and palate alike.

Lois Abbott ate until her belly was full.

After the meal, Greg Jensen left behind a prescription for nourishment, instructing them to administer it to the old man on schedule, and then he left with Lois Abbott.

After getting into the car, Greg Jensen smiled happily. The hotel s general manager was settled, and he didn’t need to worry about the rest too much.

At most, he’d look over the storefront and review the renovation blueprints.

Everything else could be left to Kingsley Harrison.

In the following days, Greg Jensen threw himself into his cultivation wholeheartedly, either engaging in Dual Cultivation or on his way to do so.

Otherwise, he was consuming Qi and Blood Pills and finding a quiet place to sit in meditation and practice the Guidance Technique.

Every morning, he would also practice his physical technique facing the sunrise.

For now, physical technique was still his primary means of combat, a life­saving skill he certainly couldn’t neglect.

For several days in a row, Greg Jensen was cultivating in his room until he ran out of Qi and Blood Pills. Then he finally left the house, planning to stroll through the mall, buy some Jade Stones, and try making an Amulet.

There are generally two types of symbols: one type is the Paper Amulet made from paper or animal hides, and the other is the Jade Amulet made primarily from Jade Stone.

Paper Amulets are one-time use, while Jade Amulets can be used multiple times.

The “Yin Yang Harmony Sutras” don’t mention many symbols; most are assistive symbols like the Heart Clearing Symbol. There are almost no symbols for attack and defense.

With Greg Jensen’s insufficient cultivation level, he had only made Heart Clearing Symbols so far. This time, he planned to try making an Amulet.

If successful, he could give one to each of his friends like Lois Abbott, so if they ever encountered danger again, they would have some ability to protect themselves.

Greg Jensen drove to Riverhaven Mall and entered the Jade Shop named Treasure Mansion that he had visited before.

The shop was still quiet, with only Clara Adams there. She was sitting behind the counter, looking at her phone with a faint smile on her face.

A ray of sunlight just happened to fall on that fair and delicate hand, a sight of ethereal beauty.

” what are you looking at, smiling so happily?”

“All…”

Clara Adams was watching intently when a sudden sound by her ear startled her, causing her to stand up abruptly.

Upon seeing that it was Greg Jensen standing before her, she sighed in relief and patted her small chest, saying, “It’s Mr. Jensen, you scared me half to death.”

Looking at her adorable reaction, Greg Jensen couldn’t help but smile and said with a chuckle, “Got any good stones? Give me two pieces.”

“Uh, what kind of material are you looking for?”

“The best for jade plates, but bracelets and beads are okay too.”

Hearing this, Clara hurriedly responded, “Please wait a moment…” After a short while, she came over with a tray in her hands, on which several uncarved jade stones were laid out, along with two engraving knives placed thoughtfully on the side.

These jade stones were almost of the icy type and very moist in texture, though their colors were somewhat inferior.

Greg Jensen didn’t ask for the price and started examining them carefully.

Clara sat down opposite him, brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup for Greg Jensen, and then put on headphones to quietly watch her phone.

After inspecting for a moment, Greg Jensen started to carve with the engraving knife.

Quiet returned to the Jade Shop, interrupted only occasionally by the sound of the engraving knife scraping against the jade stone.

Under the enhancement of True Qi, each pass of the engraving knife over the surface of the jade stone left behind a trace with varying depths.

Streams of True Qi also poured into the jade stone through the engraving knife at this time.

After a while, Clara seemed to notice something and looked up to see a fine layer of sweat beads forming on Greg Jensen’s forehead.

She was worried and opened her mouth to speak but then feared interrupting Greg Jensen.

Without looking up, Greg Jensen said, “I’m fine, just a bit tired.”

“Um, shall I give you a massage then?”

“Uh…”

Before Greg Jensen could respond, Clara had already moved behind him and began to knead his shoulders with her delicate, dainty hands.

Ever since Greg Jensen had disciplined her skin before, that disgusting guy had never come back.

As a result, she was full of gratitude towards Greg Jensen and had been thinking about how to repay him, but had not yet found the opportunity.

Greg Jensen tensed up for a moment but soon relaxed and continued to concentrate on carving the symbols.

It didn’t take long for the small jade plate to be covered in complicated patterns.

A glow imperceptible to the average person suddenly lit up, then gradually dimmed.

Now, although the type and moisture of the jade plate hadn’t changed, it was much brighter than before.

It resembled what is often described in the jade world as “turning glossy, sparkling and translucent when caught in the light, and very beautiful.

This change was hard to notice for most, but Greg Jensen’s eyes were not ordinary ones.

Success!

A look of joy appeared on Greg Jensen’s face, and he instinctively squeezed the jade plate hard, causing its glow to suddenly dim before brightening up again. Seeing this, he completely let go of his concerns.

Indeed, this amulet could withstand attacks to a certain degree; each time it was struck, the glow would dim a bit, and once the glow on it completely vanished, it would no longer provide protection.

Greg Jensen now possessed exceptional strength in his hands; if it had been an ordinary stone, it would have crumbled to dust with his grip.

How could an ordinary stone remain unmarked like this amulet, not even showing a fingerprint?

When Clara saw Greg Jensen stop, she also looked down, and her big watery eyes instantly lit up: “Wow, is that the same jade stone from before? How did it become so beautiful?”

After saying this, she hesitated slightly, “It’s just… I can’t understand what’s been carved here.”
