"Amazing!" Gu Shijiu exclaimed in amazement.

She flipped through the skill book, and sure enough, she couldn't understand it at all.

Especially the dance moves at the end, just kidding.

As a person with Trisomy X syndrome, she used to be unable to even run 800 meters.

Fortunately, it was given to Shi Qi.

This skill doesn't appear directly on the panel, meaning the cultivator has to learn it first.

Thinking about how he would have to study hard in the future, Gu Shijiu chuckled to himself.

Shi Qi didn't mind the skill that looked difficult.

In fact, the ability to soothe the soul and nurture others is something he developed through decades of practicing medicine in the small world.

Shi Qi was already used to it.

After the points were distributed, Gu Shijiu followed Shi Qi to the hospital in the fairy tale kingdom.

The hospital was shaped like a green mushroom, which Shi Qi felt unnecessarily lowered its professionalism.

The smart bracelet scanned the 8000 yuan registration fee, and Gu Shijiu's information was entered into the hospital system.

Name: Gu Shijiu

Age: 42

Time: May 7, 962, 105th Century, Second Era of the Misty Calendar

Hospital visited: National First Hospital, Children's Kingdom

Diagnosis: Multiple tumors in the thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity, and pelvic cavity, ranging in size from...

After registering, Gu Shijiu was taken directly to a rather strange machine and underwent a full-body scan.

The results will be available immediately.

Afterwards, she and Shi Qi took the scan results to see a doctor.

The doctor was a middle-aged woman wearing glasses. She was somewhat surprised when she opened Gu Shijiu's medical record.

"She's only 42 years old, barely an adult. How could she have so many tumors? Has she not been treated before?"

If no treatment is given, it constitutes suspected child abuse, and the doctor is prepared to report it to the police.

Shi Qi explained, "We come from the lower realm."

"Ascension?" The doctor was even more puzzled. "They've cultivated to the point of ascension, how could they possibly get cancer?"

“A passage has appeared in our world that connects to this ethereal fairy realm, and high-level energy is overflowing from it.”

She was very ill at the time, and I thought it best to come here and try to find a solution.

Shi Qi touched her nose, feeling like she was an illegal immigrant.

But judging from the attitude of customer service representative Xin Xin when I came here before, it should be fine.

The doctor nodded in understanding: "So this is the mortal realm? That makes sense. Can the patient cultivate now?"

The hospital's equipment can only see the patient's body, but it cannot detect the progress of cultivation.

Gu Shijiu nodded.

As the doctor spoke, he typed, "Has the tumor shrunk?"

Gu Shijiu didn't remember; she had no idea how big the tumor had been before.

Shi Qi had always remembered it, but she was a little unsure: "The numbers are decreasing, but I don't know if there's a difference in the units of measurement on both sides."

The doctor continued typing into the virtual screen: "The problem shouldn't be serious. Come back for a follow-up check-up in a while."

If the tumor continues to shrink, it will have no effect and will disappear as your cultivation level improves.

Shi Qi was somewhat surprised: "Don't you need treatment?"

The doctor was very patient: "When cells in the body mutate, they will continue to divide uncontrollably, eventually forming a tumor."

Malignant tumor cells can invade and destroy nearby tissues and organs, making recurrence very easy.

But since you have begun your cultivation, you have embarked on a process of raising your level of life.

As your cultivation level increases, the cells in your body will also change, including those cancer cells.

When you reach the intermediate level, you'll be able to see them through internal vision.

If the very nature of the cells has changed, where would cancer cells be?

Their growth has now been suppressed, and they cannot reproduce indefinitely.

Old cancer cells die, and new ones stop growing, causing the tumor to shrink.

"That's really... wonderful." Shi Qi choked up a little.

Since Gu Shijiu was diagnosed with cancer, the two of them have traveled all over the world seeking medical treatment and tried every method imaginable.

However, most cancers are terminal illnesses for Chinese people, and Shi Qi could only watch Gu Shijiu slowly wither away.

Today is the first time they have received confirmation that they can recover.

The doctor wasn't interested in Gu Shijiu's tumor; it hardly even qualify as an illness.

Looking at the scan results, she noticed something else: "She has an extra chromosome?"

The monk's medical records are private, and she had never seen such a congenital genetic defect before.

Shi Qi nodded: "What we call Trisomy X syndrome, also known as superfemale. Do you think it's treatable?"

The doctor hesitated, saying, "Gene editing is prohibited in the Immortal Realm."

Perhaps we can see again when she reaches the intermediate level; her body will be completely different then.

Shi Qi was somewhat confused: "What if everyone has a disabled child?"

"What does it matter? There's always a suitable cultivation method. Once you reach the intermediate level, losing an arm or a leg won't be a problem."

If the child is unable to cultivate, then it doesn't matter at all.

Life expectancy is no more than 100 years; the government will provide adequate living security for people with disabilities.

The doctor didn't think there was anything wrong with the disability.

Shi Qi then asked about precautions: "Is there anything I need to take care of in my daily life?"

"Just focus on your cultivation and strive to achieve the Great Dao as soon as possible?" the doctor even joked.

Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi were both relieved.

The doctor's relaxed tone indicated that she was really fine.

Leaving the hospital, although it cost 8000 yuan for just a check-up and a few words, the two were very happy.

With the heavy burden finally lifted from their hearts, Shi Qi and Gu Shijiu decided to spend a fortune to celebrate.

They originally thought they might have to spend all their savings on the hospital and become impoverished overnight.

Now that I'm out of the hospital, I still have some money left over, so it's like I've made a profit.

The two spent 1200 yuan to buy two amusement park tickets that they had always been reluctant to buy.

The amusement park was very different from the ones the two of them had been to before.

After the ticket check, there is a small plaza entrance right inside the gate.

However, once inside, it turned out to be a completely different world, probably a virtual space, containing a whole bizarre and fantastical fairy tale world.

There are fairy tales that you can directly participate in, thrilling rides, and immersive performances.

No wonder many attractions require monks to participate.

Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi spent the whole day here, and even bought some cute merchandise and clothes.

Afterwards, we went out for a big meal.

After returning home that evening, Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi did the math.

Gu Shijiu felt very poor, and after spending so much money today, he regretted it a little.

"Oh no—where's our money?" she said with a pained expression. "That's all we have left."

Shi Qi thought it was alright: "We've only been here for a few months, and I think it's pretty good that we have this much savings."

"But the recruitment season for each sect has arrived, and I haven't saved enough for tuition fees yet."

Gu Shijiu heard Zhao Qing say that the tuition fees for good sects can be tens of thousands of yuan per year.

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry, we have plenty of time ahead of us." Shi Qi pinched Gu Shijiu's cheek.

Gu Shijiu seemed to understand but not quite, and tilted her head.
