Chapter 1: It's Good to Be Alive
"Sis! I found the Level 9 Dragon Source Grass. I'd spent a lot of Five Elements Essence Blood to find it. But...but why did you want to kill me? Why..."
"You are so cruel..."
Lin Yu screamed crazily. His eyes flew open, and he tried to sit up. At this moment, he was sweating all over.
Struggling, he realized he couldn't move. His surroundings were changed. He was no longer in the Cultivation World.
It was a ward reeking of disinfectant. He got something plastic covered on his nose. But it wasn't important. What was important was that there was something like a lump in his heart blocking his artery and blood vessels. It was impossible to have such a big lump there. Obviously, someone had done this to him. No wonder why he couldn't move.
"What? Am I still alive? This is... reborn?"
"That's good. It's good to be alive!"
Lin Yu was glad to have survived when he was in this extreme despair. However, the situation he was facing wasn't optimistic. He had to dissolve the lump in his artery with his True Qi as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would definitely die. As he finally found a glimmer of hope of survival, he could not die like this.
The spiritual essence here was too little. He hoped he could survive this time.
Lin Yu began to frantically gather energy. At the same time, streams of information entered his mind.
Lin Yu, 20 years old, and a freshman who had dropped out of school for nearly a year because he had suddenly become retarded. His parents were teachers in mountainous areas. He got an eleven-year-old sister named Lin Feng, and a veteran grandfather. Generally speaking, his family was poor. He was staying in the hospital to treat his mental disease, and this sudden heart attack was just a conspiracy...
Lin Yu didn't think much about this information. He just tried his best to collect the Spiritual Qi here, hoping to turn it into a wisp of True Qi and use True Qi to devour the blockage in his body.
Outside the ward, a man and a woman in their fifties, dressed in slightly wrinkled clothes, were nervously talking to the doctor. They were Lin Zizhang and Yang Lan, Lin Yu's parents.
"Doctor, how is my son? Tell me!"
"Doctor, I beg you to let us go in and have a look, okay?" Lin Zizhang and Yang Lan were so anxious that they didn't know what to do.
"The patient has a heart attack. We need to hurry up. His heart can fail at any time. Don't waste my time." The doctor said and left quickly.
"What? ... A heart attack? My son just has a poor brain. What does this have to do with a heart attack?"
Lin Zizhang and Yang Lan gasped, almost fainted.
At this moment, a man in a suit, carrying a briefcase, swaggered out of the hospital gate. Inside his briefcase was a doctor's white coat. As soon as he went out, the phone in his hand rang.
"Don't worry! The Lin family's big fool's heart should stop at this moment. Those idiots didn't have time to check anything."
The man smiled confidently as he spoke.
As the call was hung up, a message of a new money transfer arrived. The man looked at the dazzling number on it and immediately quickened his pace with excitement.
Inside the ward.
After Lin Yu had put in a lot of effort, he finally collected a thin wisp of poor Spiritual Qi. With all his strength, flush-faced Lin Yu finally broke the obstruction in the artery, which immediately relieved him.
Eventually, he collapsed. A good sleep would be the best thing to do now. But the excitement of his rebirth made Lin Yu restless. He then continued to collect Spiritual Qi, hoping to recover some vitality. This body was too weak.
"Get the defibrillator ready. Send the patient to the CT room immediately!" The attending doctor shouted as soon as he entered the ward.
Two female nurses rushed to the left and right sides of Lin Yu as fast as they could, ready to give him a dose of electric current.
"Eh? ... His electrocardiogram is normal. Look." The nurse who was about to give Lin Yu an electric shock watched his stable electrocardiogram with a surprised look.
"Ah?" The attending physician quickly looked over and was also stunned.
"Cough! Cough! Ahem! Ahem!" Lin Yu let out a series of coughs and sat up.
He was very clear that the mastermind behind the death of his previous self was truly sinister. He had to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible. Since he had merged with this body, let him deal with all its owner's grievances!
"Doctor, I'm fine. I might have lied on my side and squeezed my heart before. I'm fine now. By the way, I don't have money for the treatment. I want to be discharged now!"
As Lin Yu spoke, he got out of bed and ran straight to the door, just like a normal person.
The three medical staff were stunned witnessing all of this.
As soon as the door opened, Lin Yu saw a couple slumping on the floor of the corridor. They were Lin Yu's parent who were scared out of their wits because of their son.
"Dad, mom! Get up quickly. I'm fine. I can be discharged from the hospital!" Lin Yu hurried over.
When they heard Lin Yu's voice, the two elders on the ground trembled and quickly looked at him.
When they saw their son standing in front of them like a normal person, they rushed to hug him, overwhelmed with joy.
"My son! Lin Yu, that's great! That's great! My son is fine!"
"Let me have a look. Son, you scared me to death! Boohoo..."
His folks burst into tears in an instant. What the doctor said was really frightening and made them feel they had lost the courage to live. Now the situation had changed, and they were overjoyed.
"All right! Dad, Mom! Let's go home first!" Lin Yu said in a hurry. When he was in the Cultivation World, he had no family, except one little junior sister who had framed him at the very last moment. Today, seeing someone care about him, Lin Yu was a little moved.
"Good, good! When we get home, I'll make delicious food for you. Whatever you want to eat. By the way, you... how come you suddenly talk smoothly?" It was only then that Yang Lan realized her son didn't stutter anymore.
Lin Zizhang also recognized this.
"I don't know either. It must be a coincidence that my head has been cured!" Lin Yu blurted.
The real reason why Lin Yu had dropped out of school was that he had been beaten silly. He had lost his memory and even become stuttering. Now as he had a powerful soul, he could naturally suppress those insignificant injuries.
"Good, good! It's God's miracle! That's great!"
Soon, the family of three happily went through the discharge formalities and took a bus to the Lin Village in the suburbs.
On the bus, Yang Lan said excitedly, "Lin Yu, now you've recovered. After two days, you can go back to Jiangnan University and continue to study! After you graduate, you can get married to Xia Lingling. This is the wish of your grandfather and her grandfather."
Hearing this, Lin Yu thought of Xia Lingling. The girl was now a sophomore and the most beautiful girl in Jiangnan University. The most important thing was that the Xia family was a really rich family among the rich.
This marriage was a promise made by the two grandfathers in their early days, representing their life-and-death relationship.
Lin Yu had often showed off about this marriage promise in front of others and told everyone that Xia Lingling was his fiancée. Because, as long as he could marry into the Xia family, he could rise to the top in one step and become a member of a rich and powerful family.
This made many students envious. A fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful lady like Xia Lingling was the goddess of everyone's heart!
According to his memory, Lin Yu getting beaten up had something to do with the marriage between him and Xia Lingling.
Lin Yu now wasn't that previous Lin Yu. He really looked down on the wealth of the Xia family.
"Mom! Don't worry about these things. I know what I'm doing!" Lin Yu knew the Xia family looked down on the Lin family, and that family always disdained him, but he had never mentioned it to his parents.
As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, the bus stopped. A dozen passengers got on. At this moment, Lin Yu felt a faint murderous intent, which made him look over subconsciously.
"Freeze! Don't move, or I'll kill you!" At this moment, a man sporting sunglasses shouted with a dagger in his hand, and then the three men behind him quickly separated to control the bus.
