Chương 9: Chapter 9 Opportunities
Could it be that I misjudged yesterday?
Looking at the confused face of Lu Qing, Old Doctor Chen doubted his medical skills for the first time.
But he quickly dismissed the thought from his mind.
He still had confidence in his medical skills.
Lu Qing was indeed critically ill yesterday; he couldn't have misdiagnosed that.
As to why Lu Qing had recovered overnight, it could only be said that there must be another mystery.
It was just a mystery he couldn't unravel.
Old Doctor Chen pondered but still couldn't figure it out.
In the end, he could only attribute it to Lu Qing having an auspicious fate, his life not yet meant to end.
He also sighed to himself that his medical skill was still not precise enough to unravel the many mysteries of the human body.
If he possessed the abilities of an Innate Grandmaster, who could perceive the most minute details, perhaps he could have understood how Lu Qing recovered.
Thinking this, Old Doctor Chen looked at Lu Qing and suddenly said,
"Lu Qing, although your condition has improved, your body is still somewhat weak. How about this, starting from tomorrow, come to my place every three days. I'll give you a few acupuncture sessions to strengthen your foundation and nurture your vitality."
Before Lu Qing could respond, Grandpa Zhang, who was next to him, was already overjoyed.
"Lu Qing, aren't you going to thank Old Doctor Chen? He rarely offers to give acupuncture to anyone!"
Lu Qing hesitated a moment, "But I currently have nothing of value at home, I'm afraid I can't afford the medical fee."
"You don't need to pay," Old Doctor Chen said. "Your recovery this time is somewhat peculiar, and there might still be some hidden dangers that I cannot diagnose. Giving you acupuncture will also help me confirm my medical theories; it's beneficial for me as well."
Hearing Old Doctor Chen put it that way, Lu Qing could only express his gratitude, "Then, thank you very much, Grandpa Chen."
It just so happened that he was also worried about not having the chance to get close to Old Doctor Chen.
Now, he had a reason.
As for how his illness was cured, truthfully, even he himself wasn't clear.
Perhaps it was due to the integration of memories that incidentally cured his illness.
Or perhaps it was his Superpower that healed him.
Anyway, he didn't think Old Doctor Chen would be able to diagnose it.
Moreover, he didn't feel any malice from the elder doctor towards him, and with the Superpower within him, he was quite confident.
Given that, why wouldn't he be happy to have a skilled elder doctor help condition his body?
Seeing that Lu Qing had agreed, Old Doctor Chen also showed a smile.
He had immersed himself in medical skill his whole life, and it was rare to encounter a case that he couldn't understand, which made him curious about Lu Qing's body.
After all, helping Lu Qing condition his body was just a simple effort for him.
If it could lead to some gains in his medical skills, he would be very pleased.
"I'm going to head back now. Remember to come over for acupuncture tomorrow morning."
After seeing Lu Qing, Old Doctor Chen was ready to leave.
The herbs he had gathered today still needed to be dried promptly, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to prepare them in time for an important person.
"Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Zhang, wait a moment!"
Seeing the two elders about to leave, Lu Qing quickly got up, ran into the kitchen, and brought out two bowls of small fish.
"Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Zhang, I caught these fish this morning. If you don't mind, please take some home to try."
Grandpa Zhang looked at the two bowls of small fish, "When I was coming back, I heard people in the village talking about your fishing. Lu Qing, is this method of fishing with earthworms something your father left behind?"
"Yes, it's something my father mentioned to me before."
Lu Qing had become quite adept at using this excuse.
"You... are you confused?" Grandpa Zhang was unexpectedly distressed. "Since it was a technique left by your father, you should have kept it a secret. How could you let everyone in the village know? If they all go fishing and empty the river of fish, what will you and Little Yan eat?"
"It's fine, Grandpa Zhang, with me here, Little Yan won't starve," Lu Qing said nonchalantly.
Fishing wasn't such a simple matter. If knowing one bait was all it took to catch fish at will, there wouldn't have been so many airheads in his previous life.
Moreover, he was well aware of nature's regenerative capabilities.
Relying solely on wild fishing, it was impossible to deplete the river of its fish.
But how could Grandpa Zhang know these things?
Seeing Lu Qing's indifferent demeanor, he became a bit agitated but was helpless.
In the end, all he could do was sigh, "You'll understand when you suffer the consequences."
Beside them, Old Doctor Chen did not express any opinions on the matter.
These were trivial matters to him, not worth his concern.
On the other hand, he was somewhat pleased with the fish Lu Qing had brought out.
He certainly knew the current situation of the Lu Family.
This small fish was probably the only thing Lu Qing could offer; it might even be his and his sister's food for the next few days.
Yet, he willingly offered it.
This showed that Lu Qing was a grateful child.
No one dislikes such a youth.
Therefore, Old Doctor Chen did not refuse Lu Qing's gift.
Even Grandpa Zhang, wanting Lu Qing to experience a bit of heartache, deliberately took another bowl of fish.
After seeing the two elders out and watching them walk away, Lu Qing returned to his house.
Once he was sure there was no one nearby, he let out a deep sigh and his heart started pounding violently.
The events in the house seemed mundane, but his heart had been in his throat several times.
On one hand, he feared revealing that he was not the original owner of this body.
On the other hand, he was shocked by the information revealed by Old Doctor Chen.
Fortunately, the idea of soul fusion and reincarnation was too mysterious; nobody would think in that direction.
Plus, having the memories of the original owner, he deliberately disguised himself and managed to stabilize his emotions without raising suspicion.
Having passed this ordeal, his identity had become even more secure.
He believed that in a few days, even if his personality changed, no one would doubt that he wasn't the original Lu Qing.
After all, it's normal for young people's characters to be inconsistent, and he had experienced the huge change of losing his parents and had walked through the gate of hell; a change in character was more than justified.
Thus, although the sudden visit by Old Doctor Chen and Grandpa Zhang caught Lu Qing off guard,
It had also presented him with an opportunity.
The information revealed by Old Doctor Chen made Lu Qing realize that his previous guesses about this world might have been wrong.
He thought he was in a world similar to ancient China.
He assumed that everyone in this world was just an ordinary person like him.
However, just now, he had seen information beyond common sense on the elder doctor.
Cultivation, Qi Cultivation, realm... These were things belonging to a world of martial heroes and mysteries, where beings could move incredibly and have extraordinary powers.
Could it be that he had transgressed into such a world?
Lu Qing's emotions suddenly became complicated.
He felt apprehensive, confused, and also expectant.
