Li Qingyun was a soon-to-be college student who had just graduated from high school. His college entrance examination results were excellent, and he had already received the admission notice from Imperial Capital University.
However, perhaps it was a case of the heavens being jealous of a talented individual. At such a young age, he was diagnosed with cancer, and it was already in the advanced stage.
For Li Qingyun's family, this was like a bolt from the blue.
His family wasn't exactly poor. Before he was diagnosed with cancer, their living standards had always been quite decent.
But an advanced stage of cancer was enough to bring down an entire family.
His parents were borrowing money everywhere every day to pay for his high medical expenses. The harmonious family was arguing every day because of him.
It was said that his parents had already raised the funds needed for chemotherapy.
But Li Qingyun himself didn't want to live anymore. He knew that chemotherapy was a very painful process and only treated the symptoms, not the root cause. He felt that he was just causing trouble for his family by being alive.
He had even written his will and secretly hidden it under his pillow.
Moreover, there were also a lot of sleeping pills hidden under his pillow, probably enough to make him sleep forever.
Looking at the chirping sparrows outside the window, Li Qingyun wiped away the tears that had accidentally slipped out.
"If I could live, who would want to leave?"
Just as he was feeling sad, suddenly the space in front of him trembled, and then a book dropped in front of him.
Li Qingyun: "I probably won't live long. I'm even having hallucinations. Alas, it seems I need more rest."
After muttering to himself for a while, Li Qingyun lay down on the hospital bed again.
"Huh? That's not right. Why do I feel something pressing on my legs?" He suddenly sat up, his eyes wide open.
There was indeed a strange book in front of him, the very one that had suddenly appeared just now!
Li Qingyun's hands were a little shaky as he tentatively picked up this book that had suddenly fallen on him.
When he saw the three big characters on it, his heart immediately started pounding!
"Green Wood Formula!"
He remembered that just a while ago when he was watching the live stream on Shark Live, he saw a streamer named "Big Brother Immortal" promoting his immortal cultivation technique. Since Li Qingyun had already given up on life, he thought about taking a look at what this immortal cultivation technique was all about. Besides, when science could no longer save him, he thought about giving the occult a try.
So he paid for it in that live stream room and became what others would call a big sucker. Little did he expect that this cultivation technique called "Green Wood Formula" would actually appear right in front of him, and in such a... mysterious way!
"This isn't just a magic trick, right? Even magicians can't do this!"
With a nervous heart, Li Qingyun opened the book.
The "Green Wood Formula" emitted a green light symbolizing vibrant vitality and then disappeared in his hands.
Li Qingyun was stunned. He found that there were some additional memories in his mind. The cultivation method of the "Green Wood Formula" had suddenly appeared in his mind!
He looked at his empty hands with a little tremor. The memories that had suddenly emerged in his mind told him that this was definitely not an illusion!
"It's really an immortal cultivation technique! That streamer didn't lie to me! Am I going to be saved?"
Quick as a flash, he immediately sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and then started to circulate the "Green Wood Formula".
He found that his restless heart began to gradually calm down.
The meridians inside his body started to circulate regularly, and he began to breathe in and out.
He felt as if he had become a sapling growing vigorously. Wisps of spiritual energy were constantly pouring into his body and then gradually forming a small cyclone. The cyclone was constantly circulating, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy from the outside world.
If someone were looking from the outside, they would notice that Li Qingyun was now emitting a faint green light all over.
Cultivation was something that made one easily forget about time.
When Li Qingyun opened his eyes and woke up, it was nearly four o'clock in the morning. It turned out that he had been cultivating for more than six hours.
So much time had passed, but it seemed like just the blink of an eye.
And Li Qingyun could also clearly feel that the dull feeling in his chest had eased a lot.
The tumor that had been oppressing his lungs had also been dispersed a lot due to the circulation of his own wood-attribute spiritual energy.
Incredible, it was really incredible!
He now knew very clearly that if he continued to cultivate like this, it wouldn't be long before the tumor in his lungs would disappear completely!
"I... I can actually still live!"
"Right, Big Brother Immortal! He's my savior. I need to thank him. So many people are cursing him. I need to clear his name!" But unfortunately, at this time, Chu Yang hadn't started his live stream yet!
At six o'clock in the morning, Li Qingyun's parents rushed to visit him in a hurry.
In order to raise money, the couple had to get up very early every day to go out and do as much work as they could.
Both of them looked extremely haggard.
But when they arrived at the hospital room, they found that their son was actually meditating! At that moment, Li Qingyun had just finished cultivating and was breathing in the spiritual energy of the early morning.
"Xiaoyun, what are you doing?"
Li Qingyun opened his eyes and then said with great surprise: "Mom! I'm going to be saved!"
"What do you mean you're going to be saved?"
He had never hidden anything from his parents.
So he carefully told them about how he got the "Green Wood Formula" from Chu Yang's live stream room and started to cultivate.
He thought that his parents would be happy after hearing this news.
But unexpectedly, after listening, his parents quickly asked the doctor to come in and examine Li Qingyun.
Well... they also asked for a psychiatrist to come.
"You silly child, you're already this old. How could you fall for such a trick?"
"Right! Just lie down properly. Learning to cultivate immortals and staying up all night, what if your condition worsens?" So, under the nagging of his parents, Li Qingyun was rather bewildered as he accepted the doctor's examination. This time, they re-examined the degree of cancer cell mutation in Li Qingyun's body.
"Doctor Zhang, how is Xiaoyun?"
Li's mother asked with great concern.
Looking at the diagnosis report in his hand, Doctor Zhang furrowed his brows deeply.
"Tsk... Strange!"
"What's wrong? How is our Xiaoyun?"
Seeing Doctor Zhang's expression, Li Qingyun's parents became even more uneasy.
"Oh, don't worry, you two. There seems to be some miraculous changes in your son's condition. The tumor in his lungs not only stopped spreading but also shrank by one-fifth compared to before. Your son's physique might be a bit peculiar. We still need to further study the specific diagnosis results, but for now, it's a good thing. Just continue with the current medications for now. Let's put off the chemotherapy for a while and observe for a few more days."
After saying that, Doctor Zhang still looked at the diagnosis report with a puzzled look on his face and left.
Li Qingyun's parents stared at each other in shock.
"Husband, did I hear correctly? Xiaoyun's tumor has shrunk?"
"This... Could it be that what he said about cultivating immortals is true?"
