Lin Yi couldn't wrap his head around this series of coincidences-was there some hidden reason behind this? He thought back to when he gave the jade pendant and the art of Dragon mastery to old Lin. Old Lin didn't say anything at the time and only asked him to cultivate it. Was he hiding something?
Shaking his head, Lin Yi turned his eyes back to the Jade and told Xinyan his theory."Xinyan, this jade pendant of yours should be a treasure that provides energy to your body. The color of the Jade is fading, probably because the energy within is quickly being lost. It's a bit similar, the energy stone that Jingyi and I found in the Wulong hao te mountain range, the color of the energy stone would also become dull after releasing the energy within. Of course, this is just my guess, you'll still have to ask my old man about the details."
"En!" Xinyan was very happy as well, and she forgot all about the embarrassment and shyness she'd felt before."If you can solve this problem, you can continue to cultivate in the future. You don't have to worry about me anymore."
"That's true, but before I get in touch with the old man, I'd better not. " Lin Yi shook his head, still a little scared. If it weren't for the series of coincidences, there really would be no hope for Xinyan, and Lin Yi would live in self-blame and guilt for the rest of his life.
"Shield bro, I think you have a similar Jade too?" Chen Yushu saw Lin Yi's bare arms before and remembered that he had a Jade on him.
"Yeah, I have one too, but it's a little different from Xinyan 's." Lin Yi didn't go into too much detail-he didn't want to reveal the secret of the Jade yet.
"Oh ..." Yushu didn't really mind.
As he spoke, Lin Yi's phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was old Lin. He quickly walked into his room and answered the call.
"Old man, you're back from drinking water?" Lin Yi asked urgently.
"En, I'm back. What's the matter?" "You even called widow Wang's eatery. Is there an emergency?" old Lin asked.
"En, there's an urgent matter!" "Eighteen years ago, didn't you treat a little girl?" Lin Yi asked quickly.
Old Lin was speechless.""I've treated many little girls, and I'm the only doctor in the village. How can I remember so many? Is there a problem?"
"No, I mean, there's a special one. Not only did you treat her, but you also gave her a jade pendant!" Lin Yi quickly explained.
"Oh?" Old Lin blinked, remembering the person Lin Yi was talking about. "That's right. I remember this. I met him when I came back from picking herbs in the valley with an old friend. How did you know?"
"It's a long story, I have a friend called Wang Xinyan, I met her on the train when I first came to Songshan ..." Lin Yi started explaining how he met Wang Xinyan and what happened after that," "That's the situation now. If I had known that you were the one who treated her, I would have come to you long ago and not wait until now."
Old Lin didn't reply immediately after hearing Lin Yi's words, falling into silence. After a long while, old Lin finally spoke,""What if ... I say I have no other choice?"
"You don't have a way?" Lin Yi froze, thinking that he'd heard wrong."Old man, what did you say? Weren't you the one who cured him back then?"
"The medicine I gave her was just an ordinary medicine. The prescription was similar to the one you made." Old Lin smiled bitterly, telling the truth."The medicine is only a supplement. The key is the spiritual medicine and the jade pendant."
"Didn't you also give her the spirit herbs and the jade pendant?" Lin Yi asked anxiously.
"I did give them to you, but they are not mine. They are someone else 's." Old Lin sighed."Your previous guess was right. That jade pendant is actually a trial product. It's made by the same person as your jade pendant. But this person ... Is no longer on this planet ..."
"Gah?!" Lin Yi's eyes went wide,"not on this planet anymore?" What did that mean? He's already dead?"
"Not really. It's a long story and it's hard to explain. You don't need to know the details now. You just need to know that this person can't provide the jade pendant." "Without the Jade," old Lin said,"with only the spirit herbs, she'll only be able to live for another year or so ..."
"One year ... What if I take the spiritual medicine one year later?" Lin Yi asked.
"Let's not talk about whether we can find the medicine or not-even if we do, the effect will be greatly reduced. I'm still talking about the effect of the first time I take it, but the second time should be less than a year, and it'll get lesser and lesser ..." Old Lin said,""So, this isn't the fundamental solution!"
"Then what about the jade pendant?" Lin Yi was extremely regretful-he'd ended up like this because he'd been too greedy!
"The Jade, I can't do anything about it for now. If you didn't forcefully absorb the energy in it, it would've been enough for her to use for the rest of her life. You forcefully absorbed the fragrance from her body, causing the Jade to continuously replenish her energy, so the Jade was quickly used up ..." Old Lin explained.
"Then ... What about your friend? Does he have a way?" Lin Yi asked.
"He didn't either, and he's not the creator of the Jade." "Xinyan's body is very special,"old Lin said."I've done research on it before, and her body is even more special than Xiaoxiao's ..."
"What are the results of the research?" Lin Yi said, worried.
"After that, I gave her the jade pendant, and I didn't continue to study it." Old Lin said honestly.
"..." Lin Yi was speechless."Is there really no other way? Then can I let her use my jade pendant?"
"This jade pendant is a one-time binding. You can't use it. Your other people can't use it, and you can't use her either." "You don't need to think about that," said old Lin.
"So you already knew about the jade pendant?" This was the first time Lin Yi knew that the Jade could only be bound once.
"I didn't want to talk to you about this when you were still young. Now that you've matured, I've revealed some of it." Old Lin said. (To be continued.)
