Chapter 3

Luyao returned to his room, preparing to activate the dimensional gate.

His room was located in a remote area, quite far from the main house, after all, men and women should be separated. But it also made it convenient to avoid prying eyes.

Luyao closed the doors and windows, and called out in his heart, "Star Key, open the dimensional gate!"

[Command confirmed, dimensional gate activated]

A vortex-like "light gate" about ten square meters in size appeared. Luyao felt that it actually looked more like a "teleportation array."

Stepping into the light gate, after a brief sensation of weightlessness, he was already back in the hospital room on Blue Star.

Since he was waiting to die, he had chosen a small hospital with a good environment, which surprisingly had a rare private room.

"Back at the hospital... It seems that wherever I open the door, I return to the same place."

Putting on clothes he hadn't worn in a long time, he turned on his phone, which hadn't been used for ages. The previous experience felt like a dream, but now there was a glimmer of hope!

Luyao gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Xin, just wait! I have to thank you for the Star Key you gave me!"

He ran a small logistics company, and Zhang Xin came to talk business.

Feeling that transporting several hundred tons of cold medicine was suspicious, he firmly refused. But he never expected this person to be so vicious!

~~~

Taking advantage of the effects of the acupuncture, Luyao quickly took action.

On Blue Star, silver was much cheaper than in the other world, and it could be bought without leaving home.

Online shopping in modern society is very convenient. If you're in a hurry, you can search for local merchants and have the boss deliver the goods directly.

Luyao found a local shop selling silver through a shopping app. He spent 5,000 yuan to buy 1 kilogram of pure silver, which is 20 taels.

He asked the shop to cut it into various sizes and left a message, "Boss, I need the silver urgently. Can you deliver it today?"

The other party immediately replied, "No problem, I see your order. We're in the same city, I'll cut it and deliver it right away."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. For the sake of being fellow townspeople, please give me a good review with pictures~"

"No problem!"

The entire shopping process took less than 10 minutes, and now he just had to wait for the delivery.

To avoid prying eyes, Luyao quietly left the hospital, took a taxi back home, and left the delivery address as his home.

As soon as he got home, his phone rang. Coincidentally, he and the delivery person arrived at the same time.

The 20 taels of silver were only as big as a fist, cut into exquisite ingots, shining in the sunlight.

After inspecting the goods, Luyao took them back home. At this moment, he was drenched in sweat, his back completely wet.

Sitting on the sofa and catching his breath for a while, he finally felt better.

"My current body is even weaker than a three-year-old! I don't even have the strength to wipe after using the toilet!"

Only when you lose something do you realize its value. Luyao deeply missed his former healthy body.

"At least there's a glimmer of hope!"

"But... I'm out of money..."

Luyao frowned—there was only 6,000 yuan left in his bank account!

He was not a wealthy person. To raise money for treatment, he had already sold his company to a relative. But cancer is a bottomless pit, and ordinary people can't afford it. His family had no money left.

"Let's save my life first. This money will last for a while."

Putting aside his worries, Luyao opened the dimensional gate and returned to the other world with the silver.

~~~

After the teleportation ended, the dimensional gate immediately disappeared.

Luyao pushed open the door and faintly heard the sounds of people practicing martial arts.

"Hey!"

"Ha!"

"Use your strength, hold your stance!"

The Liao Family Martial Arts Hall had already started its daily morning practice.

Today, Master Liao was wearing dark training clothes, but his slim waist, long legs, and round buttocks, along with his bulging chest, showed the physique of a martial artist.

Liao Qi, the little money lover, was also in the practice group, but she was distracted and frequently daydreaming, getting hit several times on her big bottom by her sister with a bamboo stick.

"You despicable little guy, you said you were going home to get money... didn't you run away!? Did I really misjudge you! Damn! My money!!"

Luyao had not returned home all night, which made her very anxious, fearing she had been taken advantage of.

The male disciples kept sneaking glances at her, having ideas about the beautiful "little sister."

Actually, they wanted to look at the master more, but they didn't dare. The master was a Zang martial artist and could sense their gazes.

At this moment, a thin young man walked in, it was Luyao.

Liao Qi, the little money lover, eyes wide open, full of killing intent, approached and snarled, "You dare to skip the medical fee..."

Seeing the little tiger about to pounce, Luyao promptly threw a shiny object at her.

Liao Qi instinctively caught it and froze on the spot.

"What is this beautiful, shiny thing? Let me taste it~"

The little money lover picked up the metal strip, about the size of a pinky finger, and bit it. The delightful texture told her—it was extremely pure silver!

The strong body control of a martial artist instantly determined the weight—1 tael!!!

This was 10,000 copper coins! At that moment, Liao Qi was rolling on the ground and dancing in her inner world:

"The martial arts hall's annual tuition is 100 copper coins, this silver is equivalent to 100 years of tuition! Lord Lu is really rich! I didn't misjudge him! Ahahaha!"

Seeing the girl frozen in place, Luyao waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Hey, what's wrong? Is this enough for the medical fee?"

Liao Qi came to her senses and flicked her hair.

Originally, her eyes were wide open, and her face was full of killing intent. But using the flick of her hair to cover her face, she instantly transformed into a cute fairy.

In a sweet voice, she said, "Lord Lu, you didn't come back all night, I was so worried~"

"I made you worry, it's my fault. Here, take another one." Luyao waved his hand, and another silver ingot flew over.

This one was much larger, its silver glow dazzling Liao Qi's eyes.

With a thud, she was hit on the forehead and then tightly held it, repeatedly confirming—10 taels of silver!!!

The silver ingot had a vivid carp engraving, symbolizing good fortune. Liao Qi found it hard to believe, as if in a dream:

"Is this 10 taels of silver... really... for me? Equivalent to 1,000 years of tuition... just given to me?"

Luyao, who had spent half of the 20 taels of silver he brought, remained calm and nodded with a smile, "Yes, it's for you, it belongs to you."

He sincerely thanked the girl for saving his life. If it weren't for the need to save money for his treatment, Luyao would have given all the silver away.

The little money lover was dazed and smiling, a trace of clear saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, Liao Ya came over. She first gave her sister a tap on the head, "Snap out of it! Don't make a fool of yourself!"

Then she said to Luyao, "Lord Lu, just a few acupuncture sessions don't cost this much..."

While saying this, she tried to take the silver from her sister's hand. Her dignity as a strong person, good upbringing, and kind nature made her unwilling to accept such a "huge" amount of silver.

But Liao Qi immediately clung to it, letting out a mournful cry, "No, it's mine!!!"

Liao Ya's face was stern, and she said seriously, "Liao Qi! Have you forgotten Father's teachings? Martial artists must avoid greed! What is not ours, we must not take!"

Luyao was moved, never expecting to meet such a principled and determined girl. It was truly his luck to encounter someone like her!

He quickly said, "Master Liao, this is my sincere gratitude, please don't refuse!"

Liao Qi also whispered, "Sister, you need a lot of money to advance to the Xishui realm..."

Liao Ya's body stiffened, and her movements slowed.

Luyao seized the opportunity, clasped his hands together, and said solemnly, "Master Liao, I hate owing others, and I'm more eager to repay kindness than to seek revenge. Please accept it, don't refuse, or my condition will worsen!"

His words were sincere, and since Liao Ya couldn't take the silver after trying for a long time, she felt it was inappropriate to refuse further. She let her sister take it, blushing, "Thank you, Lord Lu."

"Not at all, my condition still needs your care!"

The girl's face was flushed, and after exchanging pleasantries with Luyao, she still felt she had taken a big favor, so she said to her sister, "Quickly, go get a portion of the medicine from the hall for Lord Lu."

Liao Qi nodded, "I'm already boiling it, we can eat it together later."

"Medicine?" Luyao's eyes lit up.
