One person: Lu family bodyguard, who shattered Longhu Mountain with a single palm strike.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Si's voice sounded a little hoarse, as if he was anxious.

"Mr. Lin, my father said that you had previously massaged his meridians."

"If you can save the old man's life, the reward is up to 500,000 yuan. Name your price!"

Standing in the parking lot at the foot of Longhu Mountain, Lin Mo held his phone, his eyelids suddenly twitching.

Half a million? !

In an instant, the image of the down payment progress bar for a river-view penthouse flashed through his mind, and his professionalism soared to its peak at that moment.

"You can ask for anything under 500,000?"

Without even a second's hesitation, Lin Mo's tone was extremely crisp and decisive: "No need to mention it, let's round it up to 500,000."

"Mr. Lin, you..." Xu Si was clearly stunned for a moment on the other end of the phone, obviously not keeping up with this unconventional order-taking speed.

"Mr. Xu, since your father specifically asked me for this job, I'll take it."

Lin Mo's voice was calm and steady, carrying an extremely strong professional confidence. "The rules are very simple: a fixed price of 500,000 yuan. If it can't be cured, I'll give you a full refund. I'll cover my own travel expenses."

"If we don't dawdle, I'll book a flight to Tianjin right now."

"Great! That's a good idea!" Xu Si exclaimed, grasping at that confident tone like a lifeline. "As long as you come, 500,000 will be transferred to your account immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo put his phone back in his pocket and turned to look at Lu Jin and Lu Linglong beside him.

"Mr. Lu, boss. There's an urgent, high-risk outsourcing job. The client has offered a huge sum of 500,000 yuan."

Lin Mo reported with a sincere expression, "Old Master Xu Xiang from the North China region of Na Du Tong is critically ill and specifically requested that I go to rescue him."

"Xu Xiang? Is he dying?"

Lu Jin was slightly surprised, then put her hands behind her back and frowned: "Lin Mo, I know a little about Xu Xiang's physical condition."

"It doesn't seem like an illness; it's more like physical exhaustion caused by overwork. To put it bluntly, he's just tired."

Lu Jin sighed: "That's truly the end of life. You really have a way to bring someone who's about to die back to life? This is no joke."

"Not sure." Lin Mo shrugged honestly. "But my internal energy cultivation technique does have a life-giving effect. Why not give it a try? It's 500,000 yuan. For the sake of that money, I have to talk to the King of Hell."

Upon hearing this undisguised display of greed, Lu Jin couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, your methods are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."

"Go if you want to; consider it an act of kindness."

Lu Linglong, who was standing to the side, did not stop him. Instead, she stepped forward and whispered a reminder: "Lin Mo, taking this job is not a bad deal. If Xu Xiang steps down, Xu Si will likely be the next head of the North China region."

Lu Linglong analyzed the situation carefully: "Although our Lu family doesn't like to deal with those people in the company, they are, after all, backed by the government."

"Make good friends with the future regional head; this connections will be invaluable when you're working in the world of supernatural beings."

Lin Mo was amused to see his usually arrogant boss giving him a workplace lesson.

He gave an "OK" sign: "Don't worry, boss, as long as the money is right, I can make the client feel right at home."

Without further delay, the group immediately took a car to the airport and boarded a flight back to Tianjin.

……

Meanwhile, in Tianjin, at the Nadutong Internal Critical Care Hospital.

The corridor was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.

Xu San pushed up his reflective glasses, looked at Xu Si who had just hung up the phone, and frowned: "How did it go? Did they agree?"

"They agreed, asking for 500,000 yuan right off the bat, saying they'd give a money-back guarantee if it didn't cure the illness."

Xu Si, with an unlit cigarette between his teeth, vigorously rubbed his hair.

"Are you crazy?" Xu San's face was full of worry and disapproval. "We haven't even fully investigated who Lin Mo is yet!"

"Dad's condition can't withstand any more stress. Are you really going to let him come and treat the old man so easily?"

Xu Si blew his cigarette into the trash can and turned to stare at Xu San: "Third brother, before Dad passed out, he held my hand tightly and specifically asked to find this kid. Since he didn't tell us everything, he must have his reasons."

"The person who could get us to contact him before Dad went into a coma, and who dared to offer a 500,000 yuan refund guarantee, there's no harm in giving it a try."

Upon hearing this, Xu San took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "That's the only way."

The two brothers looked at Xu Xiang, who was pale and thin in the ward.

The two looked worried.

……

At 2 PM, the plane landed smoothly in Tianjin.

To avoid suspicion, Lu Jin very tactfully took Lu Linglong to the city to eat steamed buns and go shopping.

After all, it would be inconvenient for key figures from other factions to be present when a regional head of the All-in-One Medical Group is seen treating a patient.

Lin Mo took a taxi alone to the internal hospital of Na Du Tong.

As soon as I stepped into the corridor outside the intensive care unit, I saw Xu San and Xu Si anxiously waiting in the same spot.

"Mr. Lin! You've finally arrived!"

Xu Si's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Mo. He immediately stepped forward and grasped Lin Mo's hands tightly to express his gratitude.

He and Xu Si had already taken advantage of the time to investigate Lin Mo's situation.

The two then discovered that Lin Mo had actually been in contact with their father long ago and had even accepted his request.

The price is just too high.

However, what shocked Xu San and Xu Si the most was that Lin Mo had once dealt with a Quanxing master who broke into the Na Du Tong Park in one of his records.

They knew about the incident, but only that it had been resolved; Xu Xiang didn't allow them to ask any further questions about the specifics.

I only found out now that it was Lin Mo who solved it, and according to the video and the records, he only used three moves.

Such a master, their father actually hid him so well!

If this incident hadn't happened so suddenly, they probably wouldn't have known about it.

Xu Si lowered his voice and said with great emotional intelligence, "Mr. Lin, I will remember your kindness in coming all this way. My father's condition is not good, but please don't feel pressured."

"We all know the old man's health condition; it's a bottomless pit."

"As long as you've done your best today, even if you can't save them in the end, you'll still get that 500,000 yuan in full. I won't blame you at all!"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

Hey, this client really knows how to handle people. They laid out the disclaimer and emotional reassurances beforehand, making them feel good about earning the money.

"Mr. Xu, you're too kind. We're just doing our job. Let's see how things go first."

Lin Mo quickly switched into professional worker mode.

Pushing open the door to the intensive care unit, I heard the extremely faint electrocardiogram monitor emitting a slow and heavy "beep...beep..." sound.

On the hospital bed, Xu Xiang wore an oxygen mask, his face withered like tree bark, and his whole body exuded an extremely strong aura of death and decay.

Xu Si, looking grave, explained from the side, "We've seen all the doctors. Multiple organ failure, vital signs are being held up by machines, to be honest... we can't get to the bottom of it."

Lin Mo didn't say anything, but strode to the bedside.

He extended two fingers and placed them steadily on Xu Xiang's wrist, which was as stiff as a dead tree.

The next second, a wisp of pure Yang energy quietly probed into his fingertip.

As soon as it entered the meridian, Lin Mo felt an extremely dry and stagnant feeling, like a cracked riverbed that had been completely dried up for decades.

Lu Jin was right; this was a case of the oil lamp running out of fuel.

Two seconds later, Lin Mo withdrew his hand and calmly concluded, "He is indeed exhausted. His life force is very weak; I estimate he has less than a tenth left."

A look of despair flashed in Xu San's eyes, and Xu Si also closed his eyes in pain.

However, Lin Mo changed the subject, his tone revealing an extremely domineering confidence: "However, it can be cured. But let me be clear from the start, I can only treat the symptoms, using my unique true qi to forcibly clear the blockages and forcefully pump out a sliver of life."

Lin Mo turned to the two brothers and said, "This will keep him alive. But it will be very difficult for him to fully recover. He can only stay alive, and it's basically impossible for him to return to his normal state."

"Can it be cured?!"

Xu San and Xu Si were shocked, their eyes widening in disbelief.

They thought Lin Mo could only alleviate the pain in some way, but they never expected him to dare to say "I'll keep him alive"!

This young man dares to snatch away even destiny from heaven?!

"Mr. Lin, please act immediately! As long as you can save my father's life, I'll cover everything, even if it means emptying the entire North China region, and I'll take care of all his recovery!"

Xu Si became unusually agitated, his voice even trembling, and he immediately moved aside from the bedside.

"Step back."

Lin Mo gave the order in a deep voice.

Once the final payment of 500,000 was absolutely guaranteed, he no longer held back.

Lin Mo bent his knees slightly, and his eyes instantly became incredibly focused.

The pure internal energy accumulated over 115 years within his body surged forth like a mighty river, unleashing the domineering and inexhaustible power of the Nine Yang Divine Skill to its fullest extent.

hum!

A very deep, muffled rumble echoed through the air.

Under the extremely shocked gazes of Xu San and Xu Si, a layer of white-gold true qi, as dazzling as the blazing sun and radiating terrifying high temperature and endless vitality, suddenly burst out from Lin Mo's body!

The moment this platinum-gold true energy appeared, the cold and oppressive death aura in the ward was swept away instantly, like ice and snow meeting boiling water!

Lin Mo's hands transformed into phantoms, carrying surging platinum true energy, and he pressed his palm precisely onto Xu Xiang's chest and heart meridian!

"Beep—beep beep beep beep!"

As the overwhelming Nine Yang True Qi was forcefully poured in, the previously silent electrocardiogram monitor suddenly emitted an extremely frantic and violent alarm sound.

An electrocardiogram that was almost flat suddenly showed a terrifying peak!
