Because of Old Man Chai's insistence, the weakened Shang Lin had no say at the moment. He couldn't stop him, nor did he bother; his body was truly too weak, comparable to when he first transmigrated.
However, during the waiting time, Shang Lin also came to a conclusion. He wanted to take this opportunity to see what other illnesses the original owner of the body might have that he was unaware of, since illnesses and pains were irrelevant to him in the cultivation world.
However, to Shang Lin's surprise, in the human realm, there was no observation, listening, questioning, or palpation for seeing a doctor. Instead, they would simply ask the patient about their condition and then order a bunch of tests.
this……
Okay, machine inspection can complement manual inspection now.
There are almost no times when there are no queues at hospitals, especially in hospitals in big cities, where the queues can be so long that you'll question your existence.
The money was enough to cover Shang Lin's tests, but it took three whole days: finding the department, queuing, making an appointment, waiting for the results, and finally collecting all the reports before they could go to the doctor who would treat them.
During his three days in the hospital, Shang Lin gained a profound understanding of human fragility and finally understood why people cultivate immortality. Perhaps it wasn't just for eternal life, but also for freedom from illness and pain.
However, the original owner's physical condition was truly appalling; most of her illnesses were congenital, meaning they were present from the womb. Such illnesses are a difficult problem to treat for any living being.
Moreover, Shang Lin's condition shocked the doctors. After all, it's already tragic enough for someone to have a congenital disease, but this child...
It was absolutely horrific, wasn't it?
How did he survive? Based on these test results, he shouldn't have lived much longer.
However, a doctor with professional ethics would never say such a thing in front of a patient; they would only advise them to go home and rest, as for hospitalization...
Haha, it's no longer of any therapeutic value; it's just a matter of getting through the days.
Despite the doctor's advice to rest at home, Old Man Chai looked at Shang Lin with a heavy heart. Could he not protect one and not this one either?
Even if they are not medical professionals and cannot understand various films, they can still understand some of the final results of the test reports.
Shang Lin was quite open-minded. If there really was something wrong, it was probably all because he used the dragon bones of an ancient divine dragon and a trace of its remaining divine soul to refine the Dragon Spirit Tower. No one else was to blame.
Even if that wisp of dragon soul was willing, Heaven would still hold it against him. However, this would mean his plan to return to the cultivation world would likely never be realized.
However, all life eventually dies. Even ancient dragons eventually perish, so Shang Lin simply smiled and said to Old Man Chai, "Let's go back to the village."
Not to mention that they had already spent most of the money they brought with them, even with Shang Lin in his current situation, they had no choice but to return to the village. Although Old Man Chai was extremely unwilling, he had to bow to reality.
I came with hope, but left with nothing but disappointment. I guess that's how life is most of the time.
As soon as Shang Lin and Old Man Chai returned home, Li Hongjin rushed over. Upon seeing Old Man Chai, he asked with some surprise, "Uncle Chai, you're back from visiting relatives so quickly?"
Old Man Chai forced a smile. "We came back because Tie Dan wasn't feeling well."
Li Hongjin's expression immediately changed. "What's wrong?" he asked as he walked into Shang Lin's room.
It was common knowledge in the village that Shang Lin was in poor health. After all, they had come to the village in the first place to help him recover. They had only been able to see him for the past two years. Before that, they would never see him at home unless he came to visit, which showed that he was quite ill.
Li Hongjin and Shang Lin became acquainted in the last two years. Before that, when Shang Lin was recuperating from an illness, Li Hongjin was in junior high school and had little opportunity to interact with him.
Shang Lin had just finished changing and lay down when he saw Li Hongjin rushing in. He was taken aback for a moment before laughing and saying, "Your ears are really sharp. I haven't even gotten my footing yet and you're already here."
Li Hongjin ignored Shang Lin's words and looked him up and down, front and back, but couldn't tell anything else about him except that his complexion wasn't good.
Shang Lin chuckled again, "What are you looking for?"
Li Hongjin asked in a serious tone, "Grandpa Chai said you're sick again. Is it serious?"
Shang Lin nestled into the blankets without any hesitation. "It's nothing. Look at me, I'm perfectly fine. It's just that my godfather is too nervous."
However, Li Hongjin's expression did not relax. "Are you really alright?"
"It's really nothing." Shang Lin pointed to the chair. "You should sit down. Looking up is tiring, okay?"
Li Hongjin readily sat down, but suddenly launched into a nagging mode like an old father, "Look at you, you've always been sickly since you were little, and you never take care of yourself when you're out. Now look what's happened, you still have to cover yourself with a blanket in this sweltering heat. Don't think you can take your health for granted just because you're young, this is..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Shang Lin interrupted Li Hongjin with amusement. "Stop your nagging. Even my godfather isn't as nagging as you. Tell me what you've been busy with these past few days while I was gone?"
Li Hongjin glared at Shang Lin without any decorum, but immediately went along with him and said, "I'll just keep busy with what I need to do. Manager Duan came to see you yesterday. He knew you were visiting relatives and didn't know when you'd be back, so he left me his phone number and asked me to notify him as soon as you got back."
Shang Lin understood that Manager Duan must have come to him about the mountain products. No, it should be said that the mountain products produced in the Dragon Spirit Tower were different. Even if he mixed them with ordinary mountain products, he would gradually discover the difference.
But now...
There's a ghost cultivator imprisoned in the Dragon Spirit Tower, and I don't dare to touch him! Most importantly, he might have destroyed everything inside, and just thinking about it makes my heart ache.
Although there aren't many precious medicinal herbs in the herb garden, they can be sold for money. Even if the herbs aren't sold, the mountain products can be sold. Otherwise, given my current physical condition, Old Man Chai wouldn't even let me get out of bed, let alone go into the mountains.
Haha, are you kidding me?
Li Hongjin naturally had no idea what Shang Lin was thinking, but said with some regret, "You can't go into the mountains like this, so just take good care of yourself and I won't call Manager Duan."
Li Hongjin could guess why Manager Duan wanted to see Shang Lin, but given his current state, it was strange that he would even be allowed into the mountains. Even if Shang Lin were eager, Grandpa Chai wouldn't agree.
It has to be said that Li Hongjin is very familiar with Shang Lin's family situation, and the two of them basically thought of the same thing.
Shang Lin was somewhat surprised by Li Hongjin's quick reaction, "Delaying it for a few days is fine, maybe I can go into the mountains in a few days..."
It's a way to make money, after all, and it would be a shame to lose it. Given my current health condition, it's my only way to earn money right now.
Li Hongjin hurriedly said, "You should focus on getting better. There's no rush to go into the mountains."
"Um."
Fearing he might disturb Shang Lin's rest, Li Hongjin hurriedly left again, displaying an air of coming and going like the wind.
