Chapter 233: Chapter 175: Marriage First, Love Later (7.2k+)
Wash your feet for a healthy body?
Is this a medical miracle, or perhaps is there a principle not yet fully studied by medicine?
Perhaps, it holds the secrets of health preservation recorded in ancient texts?
Or could it be...
The person giving this patient a massage has a special technique?
Upon hearing Lin Hao’s words, the intern doctor fell silent for a moment.
Lin Hao looked at him, seeing his furrowed brows, and found it amusing.
I’m here for a massage, not to watch you perform with your furrowed brows.
Under Lin Hao’s invitation, the intern doctor started preparing to give Lin Hao a massage...
But as the intern doctor paused his hand mid-air, he froze.
Doctors in hospitals, regardless of their skills, have a principle: only when there’s something wrong with your body, or when there’s a potential issue, should you come to see me.
However, for the intern doctor looking at Lin Hao’s body...
This guy’s physique is several levels above mine.
Is there any need to give him a massage?
Thoughts out loud cannot let the other party spend money for nothing.
Intern Doctor: "Patient, cough, sir, as I just said, your body is excellent, there’s no need for adjustment or massage, perhaps you should leave."
May there be no illness in the world, better to let medicine collect dust.
Even though my monthly salary is three thousand, if my massage doesn’t benefit someone’s health, it’s better not to take money.
The intern doctor still has his principles.
Lin Hao: "I just want a normal massage to relax."
After a bit of back-and-forth, the intern doctor thought about it and decided to transfer the hospital’s performance bonus for this case to Lin Hao:
"Let’s consider this as practicing a massage routine on you."
Lin Hao initially refused to accept, but the intern doctor was quite earnest.
Unable to refuse, he accepted it.
Transferring money to the hospital, getting a massage feels rightful.
When someone gives you money, don’t you think you should repay them somehow?
While the intern doctor was giving Lin Hao a massage, Lin Hao’s Divine Thought meticulously enveloped him and the consultation room.
Not missing a single detail.
Finally, Lin Hao discovered a few posters for the "88th River Debris City Medical Skill Competition" at the bottom drawer of the desk.
One of the posters contained an extremely weak "Celestial Demon Power."
If Celestial Demon Power were a drop of ink, then this power would be more like a drop extracted from water infused with ink.
The power is exceedingly thin...
If Lin Hao’s Divine Thought wasn’t carefully probing, it would be easy to overlook this power.
[Lin Hao of the Residual Pill group discovered the Celestial Demon Dao Mark]
[Celestial Demon Dao Mark can serve as a medium for the descent of Celestial Demon Power]
[One of the powers most despised in the Cultivation Realm]
[Whenever Crossing Tribulation and Ascending, if accompanied by a Celestial Demon Tribulation, the difficulty for a Cultivator nearly doubles]
Lin Hao instinctively felt a dislike for the power of the Celestial Demon Dao Mark.
Yet...
Lin Hao was already an adult; despite disliking it, from the situation just now where the intern doctor was influenced by Celestial Demon Power, this Celestial Demon Dao Mark should be releasing Celestial Demon Power.
Celestial Demon Power...
Could aid his cultivation!
So, for the intern doctor’s health, Lin Hao moved his Divine Thought, opened the supermarket shopping bag on the consultation room chair, and brought the poster with the Celestial Demon Dao Mark power into it.
Once the poster left the consultation room, the intern doctor inexplicably felt relieved, and the recent tension, frustration, and anticipation for rankings in the "Skill Competition" dissipated.
"Isn’t the original intention of the Skill Competition to showcase skills?"
"To identify shortcomings and learn, even if it’s just a single round, during the upcoming ceremony, I should adopt a learning mindset."
"..."
Suddenly, the intern doctor’s thoughts became clear, and on Lin Hao’s body, he applied all his learnings from six years of elementary, three years of middle school, three years of high school, four years of undergraduate, and three years of graduate studies...
Tap, tap, tap.
Twenty minutes quietly passed, and after the intern doctor gently tapped Lin Hao’s abdomen thrice, these taps replenished vitality and blood.
He informed Lin Hao that the treatment was complete.
Lin Hao sat up and moved around a bit:
"I must say, your massage skills are quite impressive."
However...
This massage didn’t offer any substantial help for the [Social Flower and Herb Secret Manual], it was purely a massage.
It seems that to quickly enhance the [Social Flower and Herb Secret Manual], I’ll need to visit a foot massage parlor or similar places.
Maybe it’s because such places are judged by the log to be intricately connected with the [Hehuan Sect]?
Thus, the days ahead are indeed going to be filled with arduous efforts!
But Lin Hao believes, as a Cultivator, he will surely overcome the various obstacles on the Path of Cultivation...
What’s wrong with making a trip to a foot massage parlor anyway?
It’s merely a few Spirit Stone Fragments, he, a formidable Residual Pill Ancestor, spending a few Spirit Stone Fragments to enhance a seemingly promising [Secret Manual], is there an issue?
This is a gift from the Nether Ancient Great Power.
Moreover, Lin Hao has a feeling that if the [Social Flower and Herb Secret Manual] is cultivated successfully, it should connect more deeply with the unknown Jade Scroll in the Sea of Divine Thoughts.
By then, he’ll know what purpose this Jade Scroll, crossing unknown spans of time and space, truly serves.
