"Demons and ghosts, I happen to know a demon exorcist, but she’s like a divine dragon that’s elusive, I can’t get in touch with her," Lin Tian said regretfully.
"What’s the point of saying that if you can’t help? Never mind, if it doesn’t work out, let’s ask my master to diagnose again, to see if it’s an illness or sothing unclean," Zi Yan said, feeling troubled.
"Don’t worry, senior sister. Although I’m not a demon exorcist, I’ve dealt with Onmyoji from Japan before, seen their Shishen, and encountered demons and ghosts. I’m willing to assist in solving senior sister’s troubles," Lin Tian said humbly.
Zi Yan was surprised for a mont and then laughed, "I didn’t expect that junior brother has experience with Onmyoji. Early Onmyoji in Japan originally ca from our Huaxia demon exorcists, and back then they were quite upright. However, after thousands of years of developnt, they have changed greatly, becoming a mix of good and evil."
"Senior sister is truly knowledgeable. You’re right, the one I encountered happened to be an evil Onmyoji, and I must say he was quite formidable," Lin Tian was impressed by Zi Yan’s knowledge, surprised that she was aware of Onmyoji. Most people would suspect you were boasting, influenced by too many movies.
"Does that an you can help take a look?" Zi Yan asked with delight.
"Of course! If senior sister doesn’t need beauty sleep, we can set out now," Lin Tian said with a slight smile.
Zi Yan hesitated for a mont and said, "Weren’t you planning to go back and read, to think about the old master’s treatnt plan? If you co with to the shop, will it delay the old master’s condition?"
Lin Tian pointed at his head and laughed, "All the books are stored here, I can think anywhere." What he ant by reading was just an excuse; the actual reading was all in his mind.
"Alright then, I’ve heard about your extraordinary mory. Given that, let’s go and take my car." Zi Yan was not indecisive, she made the decision right away.
Initially, Lin Tian considered trying out Mo Mingda’s modified Ferrari, but thought it over and realized he needed to ponder over the treatnt plan en route, so he changed his mind.
Zi Yan’s car in Xikou City was different; it was a red Maserati, with a rounded body that matched her charming allure.
"I’ll drive, you can think slowly in the car; it won’t delay your consideration of the treatnt plan," Zi Yan said elegantly as she got in the car, reversed, turned, and accelerated, all in one seamless motion, earning Lin Tian’s admiration.
It’s generally more challenging for won to handle chanical things, hence driving often poses more difficulty than for n. Driving a powerful car is even harder. Yet, Zi Yan controlled it effortlessly.
Lin Tian realized that the won around him are not only stunningly beautiful but also excel in everything that makes n feel ashad. Even in driving, they perform no less than n. What kind of man has the courage to marry such a woman?
"Junior brother, why are you staring so blatantly? Aren’t you afraid senior sister will gouge your eyeballs out?" Zi Yan glanced at Lin Tian, noticing his eyes wandering over her long legs, she joked with a smile.
The reason Lin Tian was looking at Zi Yan’s long legs wasn’t due to their seductive whiteness and smoothness, but because of the natural beauty with which she pressed the gas pedal.
There’s a difference here—the forr is the act of a lecher, while the latter is an appreciation of beauty. Lin Tian shalessly defended himself without blushing.
"Uh, you can’t bla , it’s because senior sister is too beautiful, I couldn’t help it," Lin Tian said innocently.
"Hmph, if I believed your nonsense, I’d have a problem with my intelligence. Don’t think foolishly, focus on your real work, or senior sister won’t forgive you," Zi Yan huffed softly.
"Senior sister, regarding the treatnt plan, actually I have so idea already. It’s just that the dicinal ingredients in that elixir recipe are really hard to find, which is why I haven’t ntioned it," Lin Tian said seriously.
"Elixir recipe? Did you say elixir recipe, not a regular prescription?" Zi Yan asked in surprise, clearly understanding the difference.
Lin Tian nodded matter-of-factly, "Yes, an elixir recipe."
Zi Yan turned to look at Lin Tian, seeing his expression without deceit, her deanor beca serious, "Junior brother, the elixir recipe you ntioned is from the Shennong Emperor’s dical Scripture, right? In front of outsiders, never reveal you possess an elixir recipe, let alone say it cos from the Shennong Emperor’s Scripture, it’ll bring imnse trouble, like the example of the Xiao Family."
"Just assu senior sister didn’t hear it this ti. In the future, talk about prescriptions with ; I can understand," Zi Yan said solemnly.
"I don’t consider senior sister an outsider," Lin Tian replied earnestly.
Zi Yan was montarily stunned, showed a charming smile, then said, "Junior brother, do you always speak to won with lethal charm? No wonder you’re surrounded by beauties and they’re all so kind to you."
"I’m just speaking from the heart," Lin Tian replied honestly.
Zi Yan chuckled again and said, "No matter what, rember senior sister’s words, they won’t harm you. Right, the dicinal ingredients on the prescription are difficult to find; what exactly are they? Even with the Yun Family’s resources, can’t they be gathered?"
"I understand senior sister’s aning. The fact that the Ghost Valley Inheritor’s prescription could be gathered makes you think mine should be as well. But having looked at the prescription, I fear it’s not that simple," Lin Tian shook his head.
"What kind of prescription is it?" Zi Yan asked with a knitted brow.
"Yin Yang Life Elixir," Lin Tian replied. Zi Yan seed puzzled, apparently having never heard of it.
"Yin Yang Life Elixir has only one effect, which is to replenish and stimulate vitality. So of the ingredients I already have, others can be found slowly, but one ingredient is extrely difficult to find, almost impossible," Lin Tian explained.
"Which ingredient is so hard to find?" Zi Yan asked.
"Yin Yang Life Fruit," Lin Tian said slowly, word by word.
Zi Yan furrowed her brows, thought for a while, then shook her head, "What’s that supposed to be? I’ve never heard of it. I checked the Compendium of Materia dica, and there’s no ntion of the Yin Yang Life Fruit."
"That’s why it’s extrely difficult; furthermore, the bad news is the Yin Yang Life Fruit may be extinct, yet it’s the primary ingredient, with no substitute. So I didn’t ntion it in front of the Yun Family to avoid disappointing them," Lin Tian said earnestly.
Zi Yan understood Lin Tian’s reasoning. If the Yun Family knew an elixir recipe could cure the old master, but the primary ingredient was extinct, unable to complete the prescription, they would certainly be very frustrated.
Better not to ntion it at all, Zi Yan thought, having considered the situation. Both she and Lin Tian fell into contemplation, seemingly pondering solutions, neither speaking.
