What?! All the fairies I topped up have come true?

"puff……"

Seeing the prompt on the screen, even though Lin Xiao had successfully cultivated his Qi, he was still caught off guard.

"Sima, you're ruthless!"

Lin Xiao slammed his fist on the sofa, feeling like he'd been tricked.

Sure enough, what's free is often the most expensive.

This guy's game is practically a game where he's calculating his own savings when setting the price.

After her initial anger subsided, Lin Xiao quickly calmed down.

Lin Xiao opened her phone and looked at the remaining balance of 37624 in her bank account, carefully calculating the amount.

If you want to extract the demon core yourself, you'll need to spend at least another 29999.

This means that my savings will reach 7823.

7823 is neither a lot nor a little.

In the past, that much money would have been enough to survive for three months.

But the situation is completely different now.

Putting aside his future life, he might not even be able to support himself just by spending money on in-game purchases.

After a moment's thought, Lin Xiao had no choice but to temporarily abandon his plan to extract the Azure Wolf Demon Core.

"It seems I need to find another job, otherwise I won't be able to keep up with the recharge and other expenses."

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao subconsciously looked up at the time.

The process of cleansing the marrow and removing impurities using the Marrow Cleansing Elixir is very slow.

I spent the entire night trying to fix it.

It is now 11 a.m.

Lin Xiao got up and stretched.

Suddenly, a series of crackling sounds erupted all over his body.

"Ah, this feels so good!"

Feeling the comfort emanating from his body, Lin Xiao couldn't help but let out a cheer.

Lin Xiao quickly ate breakfast by frying two eggs and cooking a bowl of porridge.

Unlike in the past, when eating just a few bites would cause stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting.

After finishing this bowl of porridge today, I not only felt no discomfort, but also felt warm all over.

Even his previously low spirits and energy have improved significantly.

He touched his flat stomach, and a smug smile crept onto his lips.

"As expected of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, it seems that the 50,000 yuan was well spent. My stomach and intestines are finally no longer causing trouble."

But after the initial elation, he couldn't help but have some doubts.

"It costs 29,000 to extract the demon core. At this rate, my wallet will be drained dry by this damn game sooner or later. I need to hurry up and find a job."

After cleaning up the dishes, Lin Xiao put her phone and previous diagnosis report in her pocket, changed into a clean coat, and went out.

The wind outside was still quite cool, but when it blew on my body, it no longer had that biting chill of the past; instead, it made me feel refreshed.

He felt that after the marrow cleansing and meridian strengthening, his physical strength had greatly improved, and even his resistance to cold had become much stronger.

Lin Xiao took a taxi straight to the city hospital, feeling both anxious and expectant along the way.

What worries me is that if the Marrow Cleansing Pill only alleviates the surface symptoms and the cancer cells are not truly controlled, then the 50,000 yuan will have been wasted again.

He hoped that he would be able to clearly feel the changes in his body.

That feeling of complete transformation and comfort is definitely not an illusion; perhaps the stomach cancer has really lessened.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Lin Xiao, familiar with the process, registered for an appointment in the gastroenterology department.

It was the same doctor who diagnosed her with cancer before, since the doctor knew her condition best and could see the changes most clearly.

While waiting in line, he took out his phone and secretly opened a game.

Lin Qishuang was meditating and cultivating in the courtyard, surrounded by spiritual energy, when a notification popped up at the bottom of the screen.

Lin Qishuang's cultivation level is steadily improving.

"They're quite diligent," Lin Xiao nodded slightly, secretly envious.

"Once I extract the demon core, extend my lifespan, and save up some money to recharge, I'll definitely be even more powerful."

"Lin Xiao?" The nurse's voice rang out, and Lin Xiao quickly put away his phone and followed the nurse into the examination room.

The young doctor looked up at him, his brow furrowing slightly, his tone tinged with surprise:

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you only had three months left and were going home to recuperate?... Huh..."

The young doctor paused midway through his sentence, looking Lin Xiao up and down.

"You look so much better than when you last came!"

Lin Xiao was secretly delighted, but pretended to be clueless and scratched his head: "Dr. Zhang, I don't know either. I've just felt much better lately and I can eat again, so I wanted to come for a follow-up check-up to see if... if my condition has improved."

He spoke cautiously, pretending not to have too much hope.

The surprise in Dr. Zhang's eyes deepened.

When Lin Xiao came for her last follow-up visit, she was pale, thin, and unsteady on her feet. She spoke weakly, which was clearly a symptom of late-stage stomach cancer and the spread of cancer cells.

How come you've changed so much in just a few days?

Although still not particularly robust, he had a rosy complexion and bright eyes.

Even his voice is full of energy; he doesn't look like a late-stage cancer patient at all.

Have you taken any special medications or tried any folk remedies recently?

Dr. Zhang pressed for more information while picking up Lin Xiao's previous diagnostic report.

It clearly states on the label: "Late-stage stomach cancer, cancer cells have spread to multiple sites, poor prognosis, survival period is approximately 3 months."

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shook his head, pretending to be honest and simple.

"No, no, Dr. Zhang, I've been taking the medicine you prescribed on time, just as you said. I haven't taken anything else. It's just that my appetite has improved recently, and I've been sleeping better. I find that strange too."

He deliberately concealed the matter of the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Such an absurd thing was not something anyone would believe if he told them; instead, they would think he was crazy.

Dr. Zhang was skeptical, and after a moment of hesitation, he continued, "How about this, you go get a gastroscopy and a complete blood count to see how far the cancer cells have spread and whether there's any improvement. We'll know once the results are in."

"Okay, thank you, Dr. Zhang." Lin Xiao nodded quickly, took the examination form, and hurried out of the examination room.

He was very excited throughout the journey.

Even Dr. Zhang could see that his complexion had improved.

This proves that the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill are real, and the follow-up examination results will definitely be good.

Lin Xiao finished the examination very quickly.

Sitting in the corridor waiting for the results, I felt both nervous and expectant, my fingers constantly stroking my phone, my mind racing with calculations.

If the results really improve, then we'll try to raise more money to extract the inner core of the Azure Wolf and completely cure the stomach cancer.

If things don't improve, you'll have to think of other ways. If all else fails, you can spend more money to buy other cultivation items.

About an hour later, the test results came back.

Lin Xiao held the examination report, took a deep breath, and slowly unfolded it.

Upon seeing the above content, he was so excited that he trembled all over and almost jumped up.

The examination report clearly states: [Gastroscopy: The tumor in the stomach has shrunk significantly, the spread of cancer cells has decreased considerably, and no new metastatic lesions were found;]

Blood routine examination: All indicators showed significant improvement, cancer cell activity was significantly reduced, the condition was effectively controlled, and no life-threatening danger was found at present.

"It's done! It's really done!" Lin Xiao was so excited she almost cried.

Although not completely cured, the condition has been effectively controlled and the cancer cells have stopped spreading.

This means that he no longer has to face a death sentence of "at most three months"!

The effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill were even better than he had imagined!

Clutching the test results, he rushed into Dr. Zhang's office, his voice trembling with excitement: "Dr. Zhang, look! Look at my test results!"

Dr. Zhang took the examination report, looked down at it, and his previously calm face instantly showed a look of shock.

His eyes were wide open, his mouth was agape enough to fit an egg, and he almost dropped the medical report in his hand.

"This...how is this possible?!" Dr. Zhang exclaimed in disbelief, repeatedly flipping through the examination report, then looking up at Lin Xiao with disbelief in his eyes.

"How could your tumor shrink so much in just a few days? How could the cancer cells suddenly stop spreading? This doesn't make sense!"

He has been practicing medicine for several years and has seen countless patients with late-stage stomach cancer.

But I have never seen a patient whose condition has improved so dramatically in just a few days. It is simply a medical miracle!
