Chapter 238 — The Wuling Man Made Fishing His Livelihood, and Came to a Sorry End

It had then been transformed by an eighth-tier Life Fruit, the super-tier skill Source of Life, the skill Sweet Breath That Borders on the Dao, Slow Healing, and more—and added to that, the nutrient bonus multiplier from the Sweet Breath That Borders on the Dao skill. The fruit it condensed might be an exaggeration to call something that could raise the dead and flesh out bare bones, but it could indeed be called a miracle drug of medicine.
At the very least, no matter how badly Buggy and Eleven were injured in training, one fruit and they were instantly as good as new; even a hole through the body would slowly heal, and it would subtly reshape their constitution—dozens of times more effective than their own rapid healing.
"Not interested." Shi Jin turned him down flat.
Ginseng Baby's nutrient fruits really could save many people, but where would Ginseng Baby find the energy to produce them in bulk? Besides, once they entered the market, they would surely become the exclusive preserve of the upper crust. The rich could cure their ailments no matter what; the poor's illnesses went untreated simply because they had no money—nothing to do with the medicine. Cooperating with Wuling Hospital was not very meaningful.
One day, when Ginseng Baby developed a miracle drug for the common folk with an off-the-charts cost-performance ratio, how wonderful it would be to cooperate directly with the Medical Bureau of the Donghuang Thirteen Bureaus? Then he'd have another bureau to join...
[Ginseng Baby: ...]
"Ah, this." Hearing Shi Jin refuse so bluntly, Director Yao on the other end was taken aback. Across from him, an old man in a white coat was glaring wide-eyed.
Just then, Shi Ying's voice rang out again.
"Oh, right—can An Chang's mother's illness be cured? Is his money enough?"
Shi Jin had remembered the most important thing. He had picked up a divine artifact from the other party, and giving him just five million felt a little wrong to him. Never mind anything else, but at the very least the money for treatment must not fall short.
"There shouldn't be any problem."
"Shouldn't be??" Shi Jin: "You mean it's not 100 percent?"
"Is there any treatment plan that guarantees a full recovery?"
The other end: "..."
"Forget it. Wuling City Hospital, is it? I'll come over and take a look now." Shi Jin glanced at Shi Yun. It was still early; the two seniors had probably not finished shopping yet.
Meanwhile, after Shi Jin hung up, inside an office at Wuling City Hospital, Director Yao, the director of Wuling City Hospital, and several other physicians sat staring at the nutrient fruit in its container on the table, sunk in thought.
"Is the other party really named Shi Jin?" Director Bai asked Yao Jie again and again to confirm.
"Yes, Director. Is something the matter?" Yao Jie asked.
"That name sounds a little familiar," one of the female chief physicians said.
"Shi Jin, a student at the Ancient Capital University, and this year's top scorer in the university's professional assessment. Of course, none of that amounts to much." Dean Bai shook his head and said:
"The main thing is, Shi Jin took first place at this year's Imperial Capital Breeding Conference. He led the Ancient Capital University breeding team—whose members included the legendary Hua Xiajin and Dr. Zuo Jiangyun—and developed the Green Worm Cocoon evolution scheme that sent shockwaves through the beast-taming field. He himself is the beast tamer of the Overlord-species pet, the Fantasy Butterfly... rated by the media as one of the year's outstanding young people... Could it be him?"
When Dean Bai finished speaking, the several physicians in the room stared wide-eyed.
"Of course, we can't be sure it's actually him. It might just be someone with the same name?"
...
A short while later, at Wuling City Hospital.
Shi Jin arrived by teleportation at the address they had agreed upon.
