21: Chapter 21 I still love your rebellious side.

Nanshan Hospital — —

It was the same place, the same location, and the same person.

Li Changsheng looked nervous, and sitting opposite him was still Director Liu Dezhi.

But Director Liu was acting very strange today. He had been sitting there for a long time holding the X-ray film that had just been taken.

The key was that Director Liu was acting out of character. During this time, he had already frowned, sighed, looked at Li Changsheng, frowned again, and sighed again.

Right now, Li Changsheng was terrified of hearing from him...

"Little Li, just go back and eat and drink whatever you want."

Thump!

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng's heart sank to the bottom of a valley.

"Director, what is my situation? Has it spread again?"

Li Changsheng was anxious. It seemed that the reaction every patient dreads seeing or hearing was fully displayed on Director Liu.

He was terrified of hearing a sentence about the cancer cells spreading further.

"Oh, Little Li, don't be anxious." Seeming to realize something, Director Liu reacted and smiled.

"It's like this, I just looked at your X-rays and discovered that your condition seems to have improved; the spread of the cancer cells has been inhibited. I was wondering if you've recently had chemotherapy at another hospital?"

This was the point that puzzled Liu Dezhi the most right now. He carefully compared the two X-rays and found that the spread of the cancer cells had actually been inhibited.

This was truly unbelievable, and he couldn't quite figure it out. The key was that with Li Changsheng's symptoms, chemotherapy didn't seem like it would have much effect.

"Uh, I suppose so," Li Changsheng said vaguely.

"Hmm, the results look very good. Can you disclose where you received the treatment?" Liu Dezhi pushed up his glasses and asked curiously.

"This... it's not very convenient. It's a private institution and isn't open to the public."

"Is that so."

Director Liu was very disappointed. He was now very curious about the institution behind Li Changsheng.

To still be able to inhibit the cancer with these symptoms—and not just inhibit it, but actually have his physical condition recover to be indistinguishable from a normal person—was truly unbelievable.

You have to know that chemotherapy is very damaging to the body. He had seen people get worse after each session, but he had never seen anyone get better and better.

That's why it's said that many hospitals don't accept patients with late-stage cancer for treatment.

Because it's a bottomless pit with no hope in sight; if you do it, you're more likely to leave sooner.

Watching Li Changsheng leave with his X-rays and diagnosis results, Liu Dezhi remained sitting in his chair, dazed.

"Director Liu, is what this patient said true or false? That must be one of the most cutting-edge medical research institutions abroad, right? They must also have a very skilled Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor for recuperation, otherwise, his post-treatment recovery is just too obvious."

A junior doctor working under him spoke up from the side.

"Yes, I'm also puzzled. This Little Li doesn't look like a rich person. Could it be that rich people are so low-key these days?"

Liu Dezhi remained very confused.

Meanwhile, having walked out of the hospital, Li Changsheng felt a bit relieved.

"It looks like I can't come to the hospital anymore. I need to see where I can find some private medical examination institutions."

Li Changsheng could tell that Director Liu and the others were clearly suspicious.

However, today's news made Li Changsheng very excited.

"It's useful, it's really useful. Perhaps as long as I keep going, one day I will be able to completely defeat the cancer cells!"

Suppressing the agitation in his heart, he opened WeChat and discovered that the old man had already sent over the prescription.

Bazhen Soup

The premier soup for nourishing both Qi and blood. The main components are Ginseng, Atractylodes, Poria, Angelica Sinensis, Chuanxiong, White Peony Root, Rehmannia, and Prepared Licorice, one liang (30 grams) each.

Besides this message, the old man also sent a voice message.

"This prescription should last you about a month. If the subsequent effects still weaken, I won't prescribe this anymore; I'll prepare a medicinal bath for you."

Immediately after, the old man also said that Li Changsheng could just go to Boss Cao for this prescription.

Seeing how thoughtful the old man was, Li Changsheng was touched. They were originally just passing acquaintances, yet to be able to do this much—this kindness was hard to repay.

Li Changsheng sighed inwardly.

— —

Cao Youde was still very busy today. He was the little miracle doctor famous far and wide in this urban village.

The key was that buying medicine here was cheap, and seeing a doctor was convenient. There was no need for registration fees, outpatient fees, and all sorts of other costs like in the hospital.

You might spend hundreds or thousands on various tests before even seeing a doctor.

Aside from Boss Cao not being polite when he spoke, everything else here was great, and everyone was happy to come.

"Boss, that... that person... is here again!"

"Who?!"

Cao Youde was a bit displeased; couldn't they see he was busy?

"It's that one, the one who gave the gift money!"

"Oh, the gift money one, what?!"

Suddenly, Cao Youde turned his head to look, his eyes widening into circles. The next moment, he didn't care about handling the matter at hand anymore, bypassed the counter, and rushed straight toward Li Changsheng.

"Boss Cao, this..."

Li Changsheng was a bit confused. Why did Boss Cao change his personality today?

I still like you when you are unruly.

"You... are you human or a ghost?"

Cao Youde's voice trembled slightly. Was this even human? Last time he saw him, he estimated at most a month, at least half a month, and he would be dead. Yet looking at him today, he was even more lively than last time.

"What do you think, Boss Cao?" Li Changsheng was speechless.

"Is it convenient for me to check your pulse?"

"Feel free." Li Changsheng shrugged.

Getting the reply, Cao Youde hurriedly took his pulse, closed his eyes, and began to feel carefully, shaking his head from time to time. If he didn't look so greasy, he would really have the air of a miracle doctor.

"Are you practicing Internal Martial Arts or Health-preserving Qigong?"

As expected, those who have a friendship with the old man Zhang Youdao all have some discernment.

"Both. Taiji Stake Training and Eight Brocades, as well as the Marrow Cleansing Classic."

"No wonder. But your situation is still too shocking. Are Internal Martial Arts and Health-preserving Qigong really that effective?" Cao Youde had an expression of having seen everything.

He could be considered to have a family tradition of medicine and martial arts; his old man knew kung fu, but it didn't pass down to him.

Li Changsheng was certainly clear that normal people definitely wouldn't have such good results as him.

After all, who could simultaneously Cultivate several types of Health-preserving Qigong and progress so quickly? The key was that the System's solidification had also contributed a great effort.

Fortunately, although Cao Youde really wanted to study Li Changsheng's special case thoroughly, he was still very efficient in his work and quickly packed up the medicinal herbs.

Li Changsheng wanted to pay, but Cao Youde just said that payment wasn't necessary; he just needed to come over every time to talk about his feelings on practicing and his feelings after taking the medicine.

According to him, he wanted to use Li Changsheng as a case study to organize the influence of Internal Martial Arts and Health-preserving Qigong on diseases, preferably organizing it into a volume for research or something.

But Li Changsheng still paid; he didn't want to be studied as a monster in the future.

However, the price was truly expensive, especially the ginseng, which cost a full 50,000, and this wasn't even that wild mountain ginseng with a very long age.

Even so, the total came to 60,000. The others were cheap, but the quantity was not small.

"It looks like I need to find a way to make money. If I keep going like this, I'll soon be unable to afford to eat."

Li Changsheng really didn't expect it to be this expensive. It seemed that Boss Cao not asking for money last time was out of respect for the old man. If he had really asked, the 1,000 yuan at the time would probably have been too little.

Upon returning home, he immediately began boiling the Bazhen Soup...
