C453 Powerless

From the inspection and laboratory reports that Chen Jiarou brought over, it could be seen that … Old Master Xie was in a very bad condition. The heart, spleen, kidney and other organs all showed different degrees of exhaustion.

But... However, it could not be said that the Old Master Xie had contracted some kind of disease, and these state of exhaustion were not caused by any disease, but rather, seemed to be caused by the aging of the body. This is more difficult... This was because Lu Shan didn't think that his Life Potion could even cure the condition of aging! If that was the case, wouldn't it mean that as long as he possessed enough life potions, he would theoretically be able to make a person immortal?

Of course it was impossible! Lu Shan didn't think that he had that much power either … Speaking of which, if he could really do that, wouldn't he become a god?

Actually, this isn't that hard to understand … This was because Lu Shan's Life Potion could only replenish a person's HP to the maximum. However … If they were different, the upper limit of their HP would also be different. Generally... A normal adult male should have a life limit of around 100 points. As for old people and children, the upper limit of their HP would naturally be lower.

So... The upper limit of a person's HP is not fixed, but it changes at any time depending on the condition of the body, as well as the age of the person.

It was just like Lu Shan. When he had just obtained the Upgrade Box, the upper limit of his HP was 100 points. As his physical fitness increased, the upper limit of his HP reached 420 points! This was more than four times what an ordinary person had, so … Even if the current Lu Shan received some very serious injuries, he would not be so deadly. As long as his HP did not drop by more than three hundred, his fighting strength would not be affected at all.

For example, if an ordinary person was shot in the chest or abdomen, even if they were not directly killed, they would not be able to get up!

But people like Lu Shan … Even if he was hit by two or three shots, as long as the fatal parts like his heart and head didn't get shot, it would at most reduce his HP by a little more than a hundred points. This way, his HP would still have a couple of hundred points left, which wouldn't affect his fighting strength in the slightest.

As for some of the elders that were at the brink of death, Lu Shan guessed that … It was likely that his HP had dropped to an extremely low and dangerous level. This kind of old man's HP was very likely to be lower than a newborn child. Because of this, even if an old man looked healthy, he wouldn't suffer from any disease! But it was very likely that he had just walked out of the door, fallen, and died!

But the Old Master of the Xie Family was probably in such a situation. Lu Shan even suspected that the Old Master Xie's current maximum HP might not even have 20 points! If that was really the case, then Old Master Xie was the kind of person who would accidentally fall to the ground and die.

With Old Master Xie's situation, no matter how much life potions you give him, it should be useless. As his body was not seriously ill, even if his HP was not at max HP, the effect of the Life Potion was to let his HP recover back to max HP after a fall. If this person's HP was already full, then there was no point in drinking the elixir anymore.

As for Lu Shan's Hua Tuo Nine Needles and Basic Medicine … No matter how good your medical techniques are, they can only be used to treat illnesses. If the other party doesn't have any problems, then what are you going to do with it?

Lu Shan shook his head slightly, and after putting down the dozen copies of the paper in his hand, he turned to Chen Jiarou and said: "My apologies, the old man, he … I can't see anything wrong with the reports and the checklists, according to my analysis... He shouldn't be sick, but her body is getting old naturally, so I can't do anything about it! As the saying goes … Medicine doctors do not die, Buddha has a fated person! But the old man herself is not sick, and as a doctor, I am naturally powerless as well! "

"Ah …" How is that possible? "

Chen Jiarou's face was filled with disappointment and disbelief. She grabbed onto Lu Shan's hand and said anxiously: "You must be joking with me, right? Your medical skills are so brilliant... She can even cure a terminal illness, how is this possible … Can't cure my grandfather's illness? Please... Can you save my grandfather? No matter how much money you need, it wouldn't be a problem! Even if I don't have much money, my grandfather does have money … As long as you can cure my grandfather's body, my grandfather will definitely be willing to pay this price! "

Lu Shan sighed helplessly and said, "I'm sorry … It's not a matter of money. No matter how difficult it was to treat a terminal illness, it was still an illness. However, aging and death were natural laws. This was irreversible! So... I really have no other choice! "

Actually, Lu Shan did not speak the truth this time … It was true that there was no disease, but aging didn't mean there was no way to extend one's lifespan.

For example, in the Lu Shan System's Merchant Shop, there is actually a Longevity Pill. A Longevity Pill can extend a person's lifespan by three years, and these three years will cause them to live a healthy life. It is not something that can force them to take a deep breath and stay bedridden for three years.

However, a person could only consume three Longevity Pills in their lifetime, which meant that they could extend their lifespan by up to nine years … This was already the limit of this pill. After eating three pills, eating more wouldn't have any effect.

However, this Life Extending Pill was something that defied the heavens and changed fate. If he wanted to obtain it … The price was also very high. One Life Extending Pill was worth five hundred million RMB.

Of course … Xie Family were very rich, as long as their family was willing to pay Lu Shan first, Lu Shan could convert this money into system currency, and then exchange this Life Extending Pill.

If they could increase their lifespan by 500 million, it would be acceptable to many rich people. After all, for rich people, money was just a number game when it came to situations. If it could be solved with money, then it was no big deal! And to be able to buy one's lifespan with money, no matter how much money one spent, it was still worth it.

However, the problem was … Why would they believe you, and be willing to give five hundred million to Lu Shan in advance? If Lu Shan really made such a request, then the first reaction of the Xie Family people would be that Lu Shan was a liar! Even if they really believed in Lu Shan's medical skills, they believed that Lu Shan might really be able to cure the old man … They would think that Lu Shan was taking this chance to extort rich people!

After all, what pill would require 500 million to concoct one? Isn't this a joke? I'm afraid they will think that the cost of this pill is not even worth five hundred, but Lu Shan wants to use the Old Master's life as the basis for the deal, and take this chance to earn!

This way … Even if Lu Shan had truly reached a deal with Xie Family and successfully treated Old Master Xie, allowing him to extend his life by three years, the latter might not even be grateful towards Lu Shan at all.

So... Lu Shan was not willing to do such a thankless task!
