Chapter 1136: A Miraculous Identity
"Huh! Xiangmei sis, my leg doesn't hurt anymore."
Xiao Qing was extremely surprised; this was an outcome she hadn't expected, she thought it would have no effect at all.
"Really? Jump a bit and show me."
Li Xiangmei was full of disbelief, unable to believe this was real.
Xiao Qing immediately jumped to show Li Xiangmei.
After watching, Li Xiangmei was astonished; how could such miraculous things exist in this world, could that brown-yellow pill really be an immortal pill?
"Xiao Qing, be honest with me, are you colluding with Mr. Lin to trick me?"
"How could that be? I've been with you the whole time, there's no time to plan such a scam." Xiao Qing denied.
Li Xiangmei thought for a moment and felt it made sense; Xiao Qing hadn't left her side for even half an hour these past few days, so there was no way she could have teamed up beforehand to trick her.
If that's not the case, then the immortal pill is real.
"Is there really a magical elixir in the world?" She was full of doubts.
"Magical elixirs do exist, and as for immortal pills, they're not impossible." Lin Yifan explained.
The difference between the Cultivation World and the Secular World is that the Cultivation World allows cultivation, while it's difficult in the Secular World; thus many magical treasures can only be refined by cultivators.
"Mr. Lin, where did you get this elixir? It's so miraculous, why not mass-produce it for the benefit of the people?" Li Xiangmei asked curiously.
She always cared about the common people, and upon discovering such a miraculous elixir, she naturally wouldn't let it slip by.
"I wish I could, but some miraculous things are difficult to mass-produce." Lin Yifan replied.
Elixirs aren't easy to refine, besides having to control every step, even every second of the heat, you need to accurately grasp the timing of adding the herbs.
Most crucially, some elixirs require certain rare catalysts, like the Flame Crystal Stone, and so for these reasons, elixirs are really hard to mass-produce.
"Oh, that's really too bad then."
Li Xiangmei couldn't help feeling disappointed, but soon pulled herself together.
Lin Yifan didn't seem like a selfish person, moreover, he had money; would he really not want to profit? The answer was no; thus she believed Lin Yifan's answer.
Xiao Qing grew more and more curious about Lin Yifan, with his miraculous martial arts, and miraculous elixirs, he was definitely no ordinary person.
She must analyze Lin Yifan thoroughly.
So she boldly said: "Mr. Lin, to thank you for your generous help, I would like to treat you to two meals."
Unbeknownst to her, Lin Yifan was not interested: "No need! One meal is enough, I still have things to do tomorrow."
"Alright then! Since Mr. Lin declines, that saves me some expenses."
Xiao Qing wasn't flustered because she didn't think there was anything to be embarrassed about.
Since she couldn't analyze in segments, she would do it all at once, dragging it out a bit would be fine.
Next, the three of them went to this authentic restaurant, ordered some dishes, and began to chat.
Xiao Qing personally poured tea and served water for Lin Yifan, thankful for his earlier rescue.
Li Xiangmei, embarrassed, followed suit, pouring tea and serving water for Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan felt the two little girls were being too courteous; meeting each other, and lending a helping hand was natural; even if they didn't know each other, he would still stand up for justice, so there was nothing to thank.
After the tea was served, Xiao Qing got to the point, voicing her questions directly: "Mr. Lin, do you possess some special power? Like the internal strength seen in martial arts movies?"
Lin Yifan replied with a smile: "Yes! I'm someone who practices martial arts and possesses inner strength."
"Really? Is there really inner strength in the world? Isn't it all supposed to be deceit?" Xiao Qing was full of disbelief.
Lin Yifan maintained: "Believe it, and it's there; doubt it, and it's not."
In fact, when he first encountered cultivation power, he was quite amazed, so he understood Xiao Qing's feelings at this moment.
"Since Mr. Lin has inner strength, could you demonstrate it for us?" Xiao Qing asked expectantly.
"The more you know, the less it will benefit you, so it's better to know less!" Lin Yifan advised.
Matters of the Cultivation World are always mysterious, and the more ordinary people get involved, they might attract deadly trouble, so he didn't want Xiao Qing and Li Xiangmei to get involved.
Actually, living out one's life simply as an ordinary person isn't bad either.
"Oh, I just want to see if it's real."
Xiao Qing pleaded coquettishly, making Lin Yifan relent, saying helplessly: "Alright then, I'll demonstrate it for you!"
He then picked up a stainless steel spoon, grasping it with one hand, and with a strong press of his thumb, bent the spoon.
Seeing this, Xiao Qing and Li Xiangmei were full of disbelief.
The stainless steel spoon was quite thick and rather short; the shorter it is, the harder it is to bend because of insufficient leverage, so seeing Lin Yifan bend a thick and short iron spoon with one hand, they were really shocked.
"So? Do you believe now?"
"Although it's shocking, some strongmen can do it too, it's not a big deal. Why not show something more challenging?" Xiao Qing suggested hesitantly.
There's a record for this in the Guinness book, so it's still hard to convince her.
"Alright!"
Lin Yifan immediately picked up a small rice bowl in front of him, also grasping it with one hand, and crushed it with force.
"Bang!"
Instantly, this heavy small rice bowl was crushed by Lin Yifan.
Xiao Qing and Li Xiangmei were once again shocked, they never expected Lin Yifan to have this ability; he was indeed a martial artist.
"Mr. Lin, where did you learn your martial arts? Tell me, I want to learn too."
Xiao Qing was filled with interest, extremely eager to know the answer.
"You better just stick to being a nurse and treat those tormented by severe illness."
Lin Yifan refused to answer, because the path of cultivation is extremely treacherous, and he didn't want Xiao Qing to take this no-return path.
"Mr. Lin, if I also had inner strength, I could save many people, and this is much more sacred than a nurse's duty." Xiao Qing retorted.
"Practicing martial arts isn't as fun as you think, it is filled with dangers, all sorts of schemes and intrigues, open and secret strife; so really, don't step into it." Lin Yifan advised again.
"Oh, I just want to learn for a bit, please?"
Xiao Qing pleaded again, wanting to seize the chance to learn martial arts.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yifan harshly replied: "What to learn? You think I would lie to you?"
Xiao Qing immediately shut up; she had never seen Lin Yifan this fierce, it was really too scary.
Li Xiangmei was also startled, but Xiao Qing indeed made a mistake. If someone doesn't want to talk, forcing them is useless, and might backfire instead.
In fact, Lin Yifan didn't want to get so angry, but he had firsthand experience, and he didn't want Xiao Qing to go astray.
