n“I’m sorry, Miss Lian. I misdiagnosed you and put your body in shock by accident…” Lin Bo replied hurriedly.

n“This place looks like a…” Lian Shayu could sense that something was wrong.

n“My negligence caused you to lapse into a state of false death,” Lin Bo interjected. “The hospital did not manage to resuscitate you in time, so it was assumed that you had died for real. You were sent to the morgue…”

n“Ah!” Lian Shayu sat up in shock. Her brave nature allowed her to recover quickly from the shock, but her face remained pale.

nDi Jiu, who could sense her confusion, said simply, “Doctor Lin was planning on resuscitating you, but your family was causing too much of a scene, so he was prevented from doing so. Then, you were sent to the mortuary. Doctor Lin managed to disentangle himself from the fight by night and immediately came over to try and revive you. Fortunately, thanks to his medical expertise, he was able to save you. You have recovered fully from your disease and you run no risk of a relapse. You can be discharged from the hospital immediately.”

nLin Bo looked at Di Jiu gratefully. Di Jiu had spoken the truth. He had only omitted the fact that Lin Bo had not been the one who had healed Lian Shayu.

nEver since Lian Shayu had been misdiagnosed and pronounced dead, Lin Bo had not had a chance to see her again. He had been attacked by Lian Shayu’s family right away.

n“I’m so sorry!” Lian Shayu stood up from her bed immediately and bowed before Lin Bo apologetically.

n“Di…” Lin Bo said before Di Jiu interrupted him by saying, “I suppose that the two medicinal herbs you used were chosen specifically for her disease, Doctor Lin. She has been completely cured. She is as healthy as a horse now.”

nDi Jiu knew that Lin Bo was about to ask if Lian Shayu’s disease had been cured completely, so he had spoken before he could ask anything.

n“Thank you for your help.” Although Lin Bo was reminded of his previous conversation with Di Jiu, that did not stop him from thanking him implicitly.

nDi Jiu had helped him a lot after all. Lin Bo was planning on visiting him again to thank him personally after Lian Shayu left. Given Di Jiu’s superior medical expertise, this would be a good opportunity for him to learn some things as well.

nDi Jiu packed his bag, slung it over his shoulder and said, “You should take her back. I’m going to lock this place up.”

n“Sure, sure…” Lin Bo repeated unconsciously before leaving with Lian Shayu. He still felt shaken deep inside.

n…

nAs soon as Lin Bo and Lian Shayu had left, Di Jiu locked up the morgue and returned to the nursery. He immediately took out the Major Conduit Internal Records.

nEver since he had received the Major Conduit Internal Records, he had decided to quickly memorize the book’s important contents before returning it to Fei Qi.

nHowever, he had been able to sense the Spirit Qi really fast, so he had subsequently spent several hours practising the instructions in the book, which had left him practically no time to memorize the Major Conduit Internal Records.

nHe had only managed to practise for a short period of time before leaving for the Bi An Club. Now that his schedule had been stabilised, Di Jiu decided to read the Major Conduit Internal Records in greater detail before practising it again.

nThis time, he planned on studying the book carefully before practising it.

nThe first page of the Major Conduit Internal Records stated clearly that this technique absorbed Spirit Qi from Heaven and Earth.

nThen, the Spirit Qi Heavenly Cycle was described in detail, and the book went on to explain that the initial stage of the Major Conduit Internal Records, which was separated into nine stages, was the Qi Refinement realm.

nAfter all nine stages of Qi Refinement had been perfected, one could find the fated Foundation Establishment.

nFoundation Establishment?

nDi Jiu immediately grabbed the book “Secrets Of Becoming A Martial King” out of his backpack. His ancestor Di Yue had realized that martial arts was not the most powerful weapon in the world and abandoned the book in the Ji Nation before leaving in search of the Fairy Dao. Di Jiu believed that the thing he had been searching for had been the Foundation Establishment.

nIt all made sense! The Fairy Dao was superior to martial arts, so in order to practise it one would have to perfect their Qi Refinement before finding the Foundation Establishment.

nDi Jiu clenched his fists as his heart pounded in excitement. The Major Conduit Internal Records had been passed down the Fei Clan for many generations, but no one had been able to absorb the Spirit Qi. However, Di Jiu could absorb the Spirit Qi. This proved that he was qualified to practise this technique. Even though the Spirit Qi on Earth was most likely scarce, he could still sense it, which made him extremely qualified to learn this technique.

nDi Jiu browsed through the pages quickly and made notes. On the last page, the Major Conduit Internal Records briefly explained the ways of the Foundation Establishment. Di Jiu could not understand the simple description. However, the last half of the page caught his interest. The book stated that, in order to practise the Major Conduit Internal Records, one needed martial roots. The better one’s martial roots were, the quicker one could sense and absorb the Spirit Qi and transcend through those levels.

nDi Jiu knew that he’d had no martial roots in the past. However, ever since he had acquired the gray stone that had absorbed the golden lightning, he had obtained some. Although Di Jiu was not aware of the level of his martial roots, based on his ability to master the Di Clan’s first saber move within a few days, he could guess that it was not bad.

nIt suddenly became clear that his martial roots were better than he had expected. Otherwise, he would not have been able to sense the Spirit Qi from the Heavens and Earth within such a short period of time.

nDi Jiu closed the Major Conduit Internal Records and took a deep breath. He had decided to put tremendous effort into practising the Major Conduit Internal Records from that day on.

nAs Di Jiu initiated the Spirit Qi Heavenly Cycle, rays of invisible Spirit Qi gathered and got absorbed by his body.

nThe Spirit Qi transformed into energy and performed the Spirit Qi Heavenly Cycle on the spiritual links within Di Jiu’s body. Any impurities were expelled from his body, while the True Qi in Di Jiu got stronger and stronger. Di Jiu was increasingly gaining strength.

n…

nIn the meantime, a press conference was taking place at the Ai Bo Hospital.

nUnder normal circumstances, the hospital would only hold a press conference when there had been a ground-breaking medical discovery, or the world’s top medical experts had been invited to give a speech.

nHowever, the Ai Bo Hospital had no great research results to present that day, and no top medical experts had been invited. Despite this, the press conference was extremely crowded.

nMany journalists and medical specialists from major hospitals in Lin Chuan had gathered in the conference hall.

nThe reason was the startling news that the Deputy Chief Physician of the Department of Cardiology of the Ai Bo Hospital, Lin Bo, had managed to revive a patient who had died and been placed in the mortuary.

nThe patient had been pronounced clinically dead at the Ai Bo Hospital after several tests had been performed. It was a miracle that Lin Bo had managed to revive the patient, as according to the tests, she seemed to have lost all signs of vitality. This news was enough to create a sensation.

n“As the Director of the Ai Bo Hospital, I am proud to work with a doctor like Lin Bo, who sets high standards for medical expertise and ethics. Doctor Lin…” The hospital director, Wu Youyi, towered over the stage as he spoke. His satisfaction was evident on his face.

nBefore he could finish his sentence, the director was interrupted. “Director Wu, I am Fang Tai, a reporter from Ting Lin Daily News. I admire Doctor Lin for his ability to revive a patient in the morgue. However, I cannot understand why Doctor Lin delayed this treatment and was thus only able to revive the patient in the mortuary. She was his patient right from the start, wasn’t she?”

nDirector Wu was left speechless. He had no idea how to reply. The reporter had implied that the Ai Bo Hospital had fabricated this story for publicity’s sake.

n“I have the answer to this question,” a lady who was sitting next to Lin Bo said as she stood up.

nThe press conference hall went quiet. The woman took a bow before the audience in the conference hall and said, “Before answering this question, I would like to express my sincere apology to Doctor Lin on behalf of my family. When I suffered a heart attack yesterday, Doctor Lin immediately rushed over to resuscitate me. However, my ailment was too serious, and I lapsed into a state of false death. My family did not understand what had happened, so they attacked poor Doctor Lin.”

n“Under those circumstances, Doctor Lin did not have the time to resuscitate me or the energy to keep treating my ailments. It was not until later at night that Doctor Lin managed to disentangle himself from my family’s harassment. He knew that I had been taken to the mortuary, so he rushed over and healed me by using his exceptional medical skills.”

nLin Bo, who was sitting next to the woman, felt very grateful for her speech. Actually, he had not gone to the mortuary to revive her, but to burn some incense. As soon as Lian Shayu had been pronounced dead, he had known that he would not be able to revive her, even if her family did not harass him. Lin Bo knew that it was Di Jiu, and not him, who had saved Lian Shayu.
