C453 Powerless (1/2)
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! ”
