My Amazing WeChat is Connected to the Three Realms - Chapter 25
“Are you the patient’s family member?”
“Yes, I’m his friend,” Lin Hai quickly replied.
“Multiple blood vessels in his brain have ruptured. There’s no hope left.”
“What?!” Lin Hai was stunned.
“I’m sorry,” Director Du shook his head and walked away.
“Dammit, no! I have to save Baldy Qiang.”
Lin Hai took out his phone and opened the Heavenly Court Trading Group.
Little Confused Immortal: Does anyone have a pill that can bring a mortal back from the dead? Urgent!!!
For a long time, no one responded.
“Damn it!”
Usually, they’re all chatting and joking non-stop, but when there’s something serious, they all disappear.
Little Confused Immortal: @Taishang Laojun, do you have one? It’s a matter of life and death!
He had no choice but to ask the old man.
Taishang Laojun: 100,000 merit points!
“Your sister! You’re asking for 100,000 just like that? Where am I supposed to get that?”
Little Confused Immortal: Can I owe you? I promise I’ll pay you back.
He waited for ten minutes, but Taishang Laojun didn’t respond.
“Damn it!” Lin Hai was getting desperate.
After thinking for a moment, he sent a message to all the immortals he had added as friends.
“Can any fellow Daoist help me get a pill that can bring a mortal back from the dead? I’ll repay you generously!”
Soon, replies started coming in.
Sun Wukong: For mortals? There’s nowhere to steal that.
Jade Rabbit: Nope.
Moli Qing: Currently transcending tribulations… (Auto-reply)
Golden Flower Boy: It’ll take ten days, and the materials are expensive. The success rate is also low. Do you still want it?
Tieguai Li: The Golden Needle Soul Revival technique can bring someone back from the brink of death, but the cost is high.
“Whoa, there’s actually someone reliable here. How could I forget Tieguai Li? He’s the Medicine King!”
Lin Hai quickly sent a private message to Tieguai Li.
Little Confused Immortal: Can you explain in more detail?
Tieguai Li: Sure. Basically…
Lin Hai listened for a bit but quickly got frustrated.
“Damn it, I can’t understand a word of this.”
Little Confused Immortal: I don’t understand. What should I do?
Tieguai Li: How about I sell you my medical knowledge?
Little Confused Immortal: Sure!
Lin Hai’s spirits lifted.
Tieguai Li: 200,000 merit points.
Lin Hai almost fainted.
“Damn it, why is everyone asking for so much?”
Before Lin Hai could respond, Tieguai Li sent another message.
Tieguai Li: But since you’re helping me find my wife and child, I can give you a 20% discount.
A 20% discount? Even a 90% discount wouldn’t help. I only have 100 merit points. I’m broke as hell.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Hai had an idea.
“Can I pay in installments?”
Tieguai Li: What do you mean?
Little Confused Immortal: I’ll pay you 100 merit points every month. With the 20% discount, that’s 160,000 merit points, which would take 1,600 months, or about 130 years to pay off. How’s that?
Tieguai Li: Immortal, you’re joking. Maybe 10,000 a month. But since you’re helping me find my family, I’ll consider it.
10,000? Damn it, where am I supposed to get that?
It seemed Tieguai Li could tell Lin Hai was poor, so he offered a solution.
Tieguai Li: If you don’t have enough merit points, you can also pay with items.
Pay with items? Damn it, what do I have that’s valuable?
After racking his brain, Lin Hai suddenly remembered the time he sent carrots to the Jade Rabbit.
Maybe something ordinary in the mortal world is a rare treasure in the Heavenly Court.
Whatever, it’s worth a try.
Lin Hai went back to his car, took a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from the trunk, and scanned it.
You sent Tieguai Li a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes.
Tieguai Li: Immortal, what is this?
Little Confused Immortal: It’s called cigarettes. Haven’t you heard the saying? ‘A cigarette after a meal makes you feel like an immortal!’
Tieguai Li: Oh? How do you use it?
Seeing that Tieguai Li was interested, Lin Hai quickly explained how to smoke and even sent him a lighter.
After a while.
Tieguai Li: Immortal, where did you get such a treasure? (Followed by a row of astonished emojis)
Little Confused Immortal: I found it in a secret realm.
Seeing Tieguai Li refer to the cigarettes as a treasure, Lin Hai knew he was close to sealing the deal.
The more mysterious he made it sound, the better the bargaining position.
Little Confused Immortal: So, how many merit points is it worth?
Tieguai Li: It’s a treasure, but it’s consumable. At most, one pack is worth 5,000.
Little Confused Immortal: Fellow Daoist, this treasure is extremely rare. Last time, the Jade Emperor offered me 8,000 for a pack, and I refused.
Tieguai Li: You’ve met the Jade Emperor? (Another row of shocked emojis)
Lin Hai chuckled to himself. Tieguai Li had been shocked so many times since they started chatting.
Little Confused Immortal: We meet occasionally.
He was just bluffing. Lin Hai figured someone like Tieguai Li probably didn’t have the status to meet the Jade Emperor, so there was no risk of being exposed.
Tieguai Li: Since even the Jade Emperor values this treasure so highly, I’ll accept it as 10,000 merit points.
“Yes!”
Lin Hai clenched his fist in excitement.
Little Confused Immortal: In that case, I’ll send you one pack every month as part of the installment plan.
Ding!
Tieguai Li has sent you the Medicine King’s knowledge.
Tieguai Li has sent you a set of golden needles.
Tieguai Li: Since you’re in a hurry to save someone, I’ll throw in this set of golden needles for free.
“Thank you!” Lin Hai expressed his gratitude and quickly opened the Qiankun Bag.
Extract!
Learn!
You have learned the Mortal Chapter of the Medicine King’s knowledge.
Failed to learn the Immortal Chapter of the Medicine King’s knowledge.
Failed to learn the Ghost Chapter of the Medicine King’s knowledge.
“Huh? There’s a Mortal Chapter, Immortal Chapter, and Ghost Chapter? What does ‘failed to learn’ mean?”
Whatever, no time to think about that. Baldy Qiang’s life is on the line.
Lin Hai rushed upstairs and saw the medical staff preparing to wheel Baldy Qiang out of the operating room.
Although Baldy Qiang wasn’t dead yet, Director Du’s words had sealed his fate. Any further treatment would be pointless.
All they could do now was wait for him to die.
“Wait!” Lin Hai stopped the medical staff.
“He can still be saved.”
The staff rolled their eyes. “We understand how you feel, but Director Du has already said there’s no hope.”
“Just because he can’t save him doesn’t mean I can’t. You all need to leave.”
“Hey, you can’t just barge into the operating room. It’s a restricted area!”
Lin Hai was in a hurry to save Baldy Qiang and didn’t have time to argue. He pushed them out and locked the door.
“You’re lucky!” Lin Hai checked Baldy Qiang’s pulse and breathed a sigh of relief. If he had been any later, even the Golden Needle Soul Revival technique wouldn’t have worked.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Open the door! Open it now!”
Outside, the medical staff were pounding on the door while someone ran to call security.
Disturbances were the last thing he needed during the procedure.
After learning Tieguai Li’s medical knowledge, Lin Hai had a complete understanding of all the acupoints in the human body.
He pressed a hidden acupoint on his head, temporarily blocking his hearing.
“No time to waste. Let’s begin.” Lin Hai took a deep breath, pulled out a golden needle, and swiftly inserted it.
Buzz!
The moment the needle entered Baldy Qiang’s body, Lin Hai felt a sharp pain in his head.
For a moment, it felt like his soul was being pulled out of his body.
The golden needle in his hand began to tremble uncontrollably, as if some force was resisting its insertion.
“Damn it, get in there!” Lin Hai gritted his teeth, channeling his innate Qi through his arm and into the needle.
The resisting force intensified, as if trying to overpower Lin Hai. The needle felt like it was pushing against an identical magnetic pole, requiring immense effort to move even a fraction of an inch.
After what felt like an eternity, when Lin Hai’s consciousness was on the verge of fading, the needle finally went in completely, and the resisting force vanished.
Lin Hai collapsed to the floor, gasping for breath.
“Damn it, I finally did it. No wonder Tieguai Li said the cost was high. This wasn’t just high—it nearly killed me!”
He unblocked his hearing, as being deaf was quite uncomfortable.
Bang!
As soon as his hearing returned, the operating room door was kicked open. Several security guards rushed in, followed by the neurology staff.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you crazy…”
A doctor started yelling at Lin Hai but was abruptly pushed aside by someone behind him.
Director Du stepped forward, staring at the acupoint where the golden needle was inserted, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
“Golden Needle Soul Revival!”
Director Du turned to Lin Hai, his expression one of utter astonishment.
