Could it be that he had misjudged yesterday?
Looking at Lu Qing, who was utterly bewildered, Old Doctor Chen for the first time felt a touch of doubt about his medical skills.
But he quickly dismissed that thought.
He was still very confident in his medical skills.
Yesterday, Lu Qing was indeed critically ill; there was no way he could have misdiagnosed that.
As for why Lu Qing recovered overnight, it could only be said that there must be another mystery at play.
It was just that he couldn’t unravel this mystery.
Old Doctor Chen pondered, still unable to find an explanation.
Ultimately, he could only attribute it to Lu Qing’s good fortune, that it wasn't his time to die.
At the same time, he sighed, lamenting that his medical skills were still not profound enough to penetrate the many mysteries of the human body.
If he possessed the abilities of an Innate Great Grandmaster, capable of observing with extreme detail, perhaps he would be able to discern how Lu Qing had recovered.
Thinking of this, Old Doctor Chen looked at Lu Qing and suddenly said:
“Lu Qing, although your illness has improved, your body is still somewhat weak. How about this: starting tomorrow, every three days, you come to my place, and I’ll give you a few acupuncture sessions to strengthen your foundation and cultivate your Qi.”
Before Lu Qing could speak, Grandpa Zhang, who was beside him, was already overjoyed.
“Lu Qing, why aren’t you thanking Old Doctor Chen? He never easily gives people acupuncture!”
Lu Qing hesitated: “But I have nothing of value at home right now, and I’m afraid I can’t afford the medical fees.”
“You don’t need to pay.” Old Doctor Chen said, “Your illness this time recovered a bit strangely. I’m afraid there might still be some hidden issues, but I can’t diagnose them. Giving you acupuncture will also allow me to verify some medical principles, which will be helpful to me as well.”
Seeing that Old Doctor Chen had said so, Lu Qing could only bow in gratitude: “Then thank you, Grandpa Chen.”
It just so happened that he was also worried about not having an opportunity to get close to Old Doctor Chen.
Now, wasn't there a reason for it?
As for how his illness recovered, to be honest, even he himself wasn't sure.
Perhaps it was cured during the Soul Fusion, or perhaps it was healed by the Supernatural Ability he possessed.
In any case, he didn’t think Old Doctor Chen would be able to diagnose it.
Moreover, he didn’t feel any malice from the Old Doctor. With a Supernatural Ability, he was quite confident about that.
Since that was the case, why wouldn't he be happy to have a skilled Old Doctor help him recuperate?
Seeing Lu Qing agree, Old Doctor Chen also smiled.
He had dedicated his life to medical arts, and it was rare to encounter such a puzzling case that he couldn't understand, which made him curious about Lu Qing's body.
In any case, tending to Lu Qing’s body was merely a trivial matter for him.
If it could bring him some insights into medicine, he would be very pleased.
“Then I’ll be heading back now. Remember to come to my place for acupuncture tomorrow morning.”
After seeing Lu Qing, Old Doctor Chen prepared to leave.
The medicinal herbs collected today still needed to be dried in time, otherwise, they wouldn’t be ready for the noble person’s prescription.
“Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Zhang, wait a moment!”
Seeing the two old men about to leave, Lu Qing quickly got up, ran into the kitchen, and brought out two bowls of small fish.
“Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Zhang, these fish are what I caught this morning. If you don’t mind, please take some back to taste.”
Grandpa Zhang looked at the two bowls of small fish, “When I came back just now, I heard everyone in the village talking about your fishing. Lu Qing, is this method of fishing with earthworms something your father left you?”
“Hmm, my father mentioned it to me before.”
Lu Qing was already very adept at using this excuse.
“You... foolish boy!” Unexpectedly, when Grandpa Zhang heard this, he was somewhat heartbroken. “Since it’s a method your father left for you, you should have kept it a secret! How could you tell everyone in the village all at once? If they all go fishing and catch all the fish in the river, what will you and Little Yan eat in the future?”
“It’s fine, Grandpa Zhang. With me around, Little Yan won’t go hungry.” Lu Qing said nonchalantly.
Fishing was not that simple; if one only knew a bait and could easily catch fish, then there wouldn't have been so many 'empty-handed' anglers in his previous life.
Moreover, he was well aware of nature's recovery capabilities.
Relying solely on wild fishing, it would be impossible to catch all the fish in the river.
But how could Grandpa Zhang know these things?
Seeing Lu Qing’s indifferent attitude, he immediately became a little exasperated but also helpless.
Finally, he could only sigh: “You, you’ll know once you suffer a loss later.”
Old Doctor Chen, who was beside them, did not express any opinion on this matter.
To him, these were all minor issues, not worth his concern.
However, he was quite satisfied with the fish Lu Qing offered.
He, of course, knew the current situation of the Lu family.
These small fish were probably the only things Lu Qing could offer, and perhaps they were even his and his sister’s rations for the next few days.
Yet, he offered them without reservation.
This showed that Lu Qing was a grateful child.
No one would dislike such a young man.
Therefore, Old Doctor Chen did not refuse Lu Qing’s thank-you gift.
Even Grandpa Zhang, wanting Lu Qing to experience a bit of heartache, deliberately took the other bowl of fish.
After seeing the two old men out and watching them walk away, Lu Qing returned to the house.
After confirming that no one was nearby, he let out a deep breath, his heart pounding.
What had happened in the room just now seemed ordinary, but he had felt his heart in his throat several times.
On one hand, he was afraid of exposing the fact that he was not the original owner.
On the other hand, it was because of the information revealed by Old Doctor Chen that brought him shock.
Fortunately, things like Soul Fusion and Rebirth were too mysterious, and no one would think in that direction.
Coupled with his possession of the original owner’s memories, and his deliberate concealment, he managed to maintain his composure and didn’t reveal himself.
And having passed this hurdle, his identity was now more secure.
He believed that in a few more days, even if his personality changed, no one would suspect that he wasn’t the original Lu Qing.
After all, a young person’s personality is inherently dynamic, and he had experienced the drastic change of losing both parents and had even walked through the gates of hell once; a change in personality was only natural.
So, while the sudden visit of Old Doctor Chen and Grandpa Zhang caught Lu Qing off guard, it 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.
Originally, he thought he was in a world similar to ancient China.
Everyone living in this world was just an ordinary person like him.
But just now, he had actually seen information beyond common sense from the Old Doctor.
Cultivation, Qi cultivation, Realms... these were things that only existed in Wuxia fantasy worlds where people could fly high, move like the wind, and possess extraordinary powers.
Could it be that the world he had Transmigrated to was such a world?
Lu Qing’s mood instantly became complicated.
There was fear, confusion, and also anticipation.
