Even Lin Yaoyang himself would struggle to buy a house within Jinling Pass because his strength was insufficient.
But now Lin Hao had such an opportunity. How could he not be shocked?
Houses within Jinling Pass started at several million, with even the cheapest costing more than two million.
This was indeed a tremendous benefit.
After all, how many people worried about buying a house and worked for decades just to afford one?
Lin Hao was tempted too. Xu Mingyuan's Promise was sincere.
He had never imagined that after coming to Jinling, he would be able to own a house.
At that moment, the system emitted a ding and said, "quest: Treat Old Master Xu and receive a reward!"
This was worth doing!
With the system's feedback, Lin Hao made up his mind to treat Old Master Xu. This was a double reward, and he could not miss it!
Thus, they went to visit Old Master Xu.
Old Master Xu was still conscious, but he was paralyzed from the waist down, as if he were destined to remain confined to his bed forever. He needed someone to care for him, which was extremely tragic.
When his beloved grandson entered, Old Master Xu smiled and said, "Grandson, what good things have you been busy with lately?"
Xu Ying wiped his grandfather's sweat with a towel and said, "Grandpa, I finished the Gaokao and am preparing to attend university."
Old Master Xu said, "Is that so? Then you can get a girlfriend. Bring a girlfriend home to meet your grandpa sometime."
Xu Ying nodded. "All right, Grandpa. I will bring my Girlfriend back to visit you."
A sound of footsteps arose. Lin Hao and the other two had entered the room.
Xu Mingyuan trembled. "Dad."
Old Master Xu glared at his son. "You've been running the family for so long, yet you're still like this. Calm down."
Xu Mingyuan could not calm down because this might be a chance to cure the Old Master of his illness.
As long as the old master could get back on his feet, the Xu Family could return to its former glory!
Xu Mingyuan introduced him. "Dad, this is Lin Hao. He wants to treat your illness."
Old Master Xu thought he had misheard and Waved a Hand. "Don't joke around. So many veteran doctors examined me and could only shake their heads. What can this young man do?"
Lin Hao stepped forward and said, "Old Master Xu, if I can't cure you, I'll take your surname."
"Hahahaha!"
Old Master Xu burst out laughing. "Young man, you're interesting. You are worth cultivating."
Lin Hao glanced at Xu Mingyuan.
Xu Mingyuan nodded at him, then said to his dad, "dad, I'll have to trouble you for a moment."
"You dare use force?"
Old Master Xu glared with tiger-like eyes. A trace of majesty still remained on his aged face, showing how formidable he must have been in his youth.
Lin Hao flashed forward and pressed his palm against Old Master Xu's crown of the head. Under that pressure, Old Master Xu lost consciousness and sank into a deep sleep.
"This..."
Xu Ying stood dumbfounded, unsure what to do.
Xu Mingyuan grabbed his Son and shook his head. "Let Lin Hao treat your grandfather. Didn't you want a life of Lying Flat? Your grandfather must recover before you can lie flat in comfort."
"Oh."
Xu Ying smiled. "I didn't see anything."
Lin Hao used a single strike of Frost Qi to put Old Master Xu into a deep sleep, placing his body in a state of dormancy.
His subsequent actions would not harm Old Master Xu.
Lin Hao saw many problems within Old Master Xu's body, including his spine, nerves, and blood vessels.
Conventional medical treatment could address the spine and blood vessels, but not the nerves.
Fortunately, Lin Hao practiced the Icebound Art, which could regulate the nerves and restore them to normal.
The room fell silent as Lin Hao placed his palm against Old Master Xu's forehead.
A great deal of Mist rose from the top of Old Master Xu's head, creating a strange sight.
Everyone watched without even daring to breathe heavily.
Xu Mingyuan kept Both Eyes fixed on the scene, afraid of missing a single second.
Xu Ying was initially skeptical, then gradually became astonished, and eventually was completely stunned.
Lin Yaoyang was shaken. Lin Hao seemed capable of anything. His youthful face appeared veiled by layer upon layer of mystery, impossible to see through.
Time passed second by second, and they even began to sweat.
Forty minutes passed before Lin Hao ended the treatment.
Lin Hao was sweating too. He had poured his entire heart and soul into using Frost Qi, and without reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, the treatment would have been even more difficult.
Xu Mingyuan asked, "How is it?"
Lin Hao wiped away his sweat. "I have fulfilled my duty. Old Master Xu will wake up within ten minutes."
Xu Mingyuan was anxious. "Good. Then we'll wait another ten minutes."
They continued watching. Waiting like this was agonizing.
Before ten minutes had passed, Old Master Xu's fingers moved, and he opened his eyes with difficulty.
Old Master Xu's first act was to turn over and curse. "What kind of thing did you do? How dare you use force against me?"
Xu Mingyuan took the scolding without getting angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Dad, you can move!"
Xu Ying's mouth fell open. "Grandpa, you're better!"
Only then did Old Master Xu come to his senses. Looking at his own body, a rare smile appeared on his wrinkled face. "I can get out of bed!"
Old Master Xu sat up on the bed. Excitement, exhilaration, and joy filled his face. He brimmed with vitality, no longer resembling the withered tree he had been, seemingly on the verge of death.
In less than an hour, Old Master Xu's body had undergone a tremendous transformation.
And the person responsible for all of this was naturally Lin Hao!
Old Master Xu bowed in thanks. "Brother Lin Hao, thank you for saving my life!"
Lin Hao smiled. "Congratulations on escaping your predicament, Old Master Xu. May you remain healthy and happy from now on."
Old Master Xu was overjoyed. He rose from the bed and said, "Son, what benefit did you promise Lin Hao?"
Xu Mingyuan replied, "I promised to buy Lin Hao a house."
Old Master Xu looked satisfied. "Brother Lin Hao, I'll give you a car—a Porsche."
"Hiss."
Lin Yaoyang was envious. Lin Hao now had a house and a car, making him the very definition of a Successful Person.
Xu Mingyuan was not stingy. Instead, he urged, "Brother Lin Hao, hurry and agree."
Lin Hao felt that his efforts deserved this reward and considered it only natural, so he nodded. "All right. Thank you, Old Master Xu."
By curing Old Master Xu, Lin Hao had also completed the system's quest.
Old Master Xu was grateful to Lin Hao, but his legs were still weak after getting out of bed. He needed a cane for support for several days.
At the Xu Family, Lin Hao received excellent treatment. They regarded him as their Benefactor.
Old Master Xu's recovery was a major event. Xu Mingyuan gathered the family members and announced the news.
These people were all extraordinary. Among them were presidents of major Companies, principals, and deans of hospitals.
They initially doubted Xu Mingyuan's message, but what they saw and heard later overturned their understanding.
"The old master has really recovered?"
"A medical miracle!"
"Mingyuan, who cured your dad?"
Everyone gathered around Old Master Xu, examining him and chatting with the Elder. The scene radiated happiness.
Xu Mingyuan pointed at Lin Hao. "He cured dad. His name is Lin Hao."
"Lin Hao."
Everyone sized Lin Hao up, unsure what capabilities this young man possessed.
Lin Hao's name spread throughout the Xu Family.
The process of Lin Hao's treatment was also revealed through Xu Mingyuan and Xu Ying's descriptions.
The dean from the Xu Family said, "To be honest, we had no way to cure Dad and did not believe anyone could. But the facts are before us. Brother Lin Hao, you are no ordinary person. Would you help me treat a few Patients sometime?"
Lin Hao Waved a Hand. "I don't have time right now. If everyone came to me for treatment, I'd work myself to death."
In Lin Hao's plans, he preferred to do things with quality rather than quantity. Even when treating people, he would choose his patients selectively rather than treating everyone indiscriminately, since the returns might otherwise be too low.
Therefore, he rejected the dean's proposal.
"Not bad. Brother Lin Hao is assertive. That makes him likable."
Everyone laughed.
