Could it be that he had misjudged yesterday?
Looking at Lu Qing, who was still bewildered, Dr. Chen for the first time felt a hint of doubt about his own medical skills.
However, he quickly dismissed that thought from his mind.
He was still very confident in his medical skills.
Yesterday, Lu Qing was indeed on his deathbed; there was no way he could have misdiagnosed that.
As for why Lu Qing recovered overnight, it could only be said that there must have been some other mystery.
It was just that he couldn't unravel this mystery.
Dr. Chen pondered, still unable to understand.
Ultimately, he could only attribute it to Lu Qing's good fortune, that he was not destined to die.
At the same time, he sighed, lamenting that his medical skills were still not refined enough to uncover the many mysteries of the human body.
If he possessed the abilities of an Innate Great Grandmaster, able to observe minutely, perhaps he would have been able to see how Lu Qing had truly recovered.
Thinking of this, Dr. 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 essence."
Before Lu Qing could speak, Zhang Daye, who was beside him, was already overjoyed.
"Lu Qing, why aren't you thanking Dr. Chen? He never easily gives people acupuncture!"
Lu Qing hesitated, "But I have no possessions now, and I'm afraid I can't afford the medical fees."
"You don't need to pay," Dr. Chen said. "Your illness this time recovered somewhat strangely, and there might still be some hidden dangers that I can't diagnose. Giving you acupuncture will also allow me to verify medical principles, which will also be helpful to me."
Seeing that Dr. Chen had said so, Lu Qing could only bow in gratitude: "Then many thanks, Grandpa Chen."
It just so happened that he was also worried about not having an opportunity to approach Dr. Chen.
Now, didn't he have a reason?
As for how his illness had recovered, to be honest, even he himself wasn't clear.
Perhaps it was cured when his memories underwent Fusion.
Or perhaps it was cured by the special ability he possessed.
In any case, he didn't think Dr. Chen would be able to diagnose it.
Moreover, he didn't feel any malice from the Old Doctor towards him; with his special ability, he was quite confident in this.
Since that was the case, why wouldn't he be happy to have a skilled Old Doctor regulate his body?
Seeing Lu Qing agree, Dr. Chen also smiled.
He had dedicated his life to medical arts, and it was rare to encounter such a case that he couldn't understand, which made him somewhat curious about Lu Qing's body.
Anyway, regulating Lu Qing's body was just a small matter for him.
If it could bring him some gains in medical knowledge, he would be very happy.
"Then I'll head back first. Remember to come to my place for acupuncture tomorrow morning."
After seeing Lu Qing, Dr. Chen was ready to leave.
The medicinal herbs collected today still needed to be dried promptly, otherwise, they wouldn't be ready for the noble's medicine.
"Grandpa Chen, Zhang Grandpa, 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, Zhang Grandpa, these fish are what I caught this morning. If you don't mind, please take some back to taste."
Zhang Daye 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 for you?"
"Hmm, my father mentioned it to me before."
Lu Qing was already very adept at using this reason.
"You... you fool!" To his surprise, Zhang Daye, upon hearing this, 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 Xiao Yan eat in the future?"
"It's fine, Zhang Grandpa, with me around, Xiao Yan won't go hungry," Lu Qing said indifferently.
Fishing was not that simple; if one only knew one type of bait and could catch fish casually, then there wouldn't have been so many "empty-handed" anglers in his previous life.
Moreover, he was well aware of nature's recovery ability.
Relying solely on wild fishing, it would be impossible to catch all the fish in the river.
But how could Zhang Daye know these things?
Seeing Lu Qing's indifferent demeanor, he immediately became a little agitated but also helpless.
Finally, he could only sigh, "You, you'll know when you suffer a loss later."
Dr. Chen, who was beside them, made no comment on this.
To him, these were all minor matters, not worth his concern.
However, he was quite satisfied with the fish Lu Qing offered.
He certainly knew the current situation of the Lu family.
These small fish were probably the only thing Lu Qing could offer, and perhaps even his and his sister's rations for the next few days.
Yet, he offered them without hesitation.
This showed that Lu Qing was a grateful child.
No one would dislike such a youth.
Therefore, Dr. Chen did not refuse Lu Qing's thank-you gift.
Even Zhang Daye, wanting Lu Qing to experience a feeling 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 finally let out a deep breath, his heart pounding.
What had happened in the house just now seemed ordinary, but he had several times felt his heart leap into his throat.
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 shocking information revealed by Dr. Chen.
Fortunately, matters like Soul Fusion and Rebirth were too mysterious; no one would think in that direction.
Coupled with his possession of the original owner's memories, with deliberate concealment, he managed to maintain his composure and did not reveal himself.
And having passed this hurdle, his identity was now more secure.
He believed that after some time, 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 also experienced the immense change of losing both parents and even walked through the gates of hell once; a change in personality was only natural.
So, while Dr. Chen and Zhang Grandpa's sudden visit caught Lu Qing off guard,
It also gave him an opportunity.
The information revealed by Dr. 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 Huaxia.
Everyone living in this world was just an ordinary person like him.
But just now, he had actually seen information on the Old Doctor that defied common sense.
Cultivation, Qi cultivation, Realm... these were things that only existed in Wuxia fantasy worlds where people could move swiftly, come and go like the wind, and possess extraordinary powers.
Could it be that the world he had Transmigrated into was such a world?
Lu Qing's mood suddenly became complicated.
There was fear, confusion, and also anticipation.
