Lin Yi couldn't make sense of this chain of coincidences. Was there some sort of secret behind all this? He thought back to when he gave the jade and the Art of Dragon Mastery to Old Lin in the Xuanyuan cave. Old Lin didn't say anything and only told him to practice. Could it be that he was hiding something?
He shook his head and turned his eyes back to the jade. "Xinyan, this jade of yours is probably a treasure that provides energy to your body. The reason why the jade's color is fading is probably because the energy is being drained out of it. It's a little similar to the energy stone Sun Jingyi and I found in the Wulonhaote Mountains- the color of an energy stone would darken after releasing its energy. Of course, this is just my guess- you'll have to ask my old man about the specifics."
"Okay!" Xinyan was very happy at this moment. She forgot her embarrassment and said, "If we can solve this problem, then you can practice all you want in the future. You don't have to worry about me anymore."
"That's true, but before I get in touch with my old man, I don't want to." Lin Yi shook his head with lingering fear. If it wasn't for this series of coincidences, Xinyan might not have had any hope. Lin Yi would live in self-blame and guilt for the rest of his life.
"Shield Bro, I think you have a jade like that?" Yushu had seen Lin Yi shirtless before, and remembered that he had a jade on him as well.
"Yeah, I have one too. But it's a little different from Xinyan's." Lin Yi didn't go into details about the secret of the jade. He didn't want to expose it for now.
"Oh …" Yushu just mentioned it casually. She didn't pay much attention to it.
While they were talking. Lin Yi's phone suddenly rang. Lin Yi looked at the caller ID. It was Old Lin. Lin Yi quickly walked into his room and picked up the phone.
"Old man, you're back from drinking water?" Lin Yi asked anxiously.
"Yep, you're back. Why are you looking for me? "Old Lin asked." You even called Widow Wang's grocery store at the entrance of the village. Is there something urgent? "
"Yes, it's urgent!" Lin Yi said anxiously, "Eighteen years ago, didn't you treat a little girl?"
"…" Old Lin was speechless. "I've treated too many little girls. I'm the only doctor in this area. How could I remember so many of them? Is there a problem? "
"No. What I mean is, there is a rather special one. Not only did you treat her, you even gave her a jade pendant! "Lin Yi quickly explained.
"Oh?" Old Man Lin paused, then immediately remembered the person Lin Yi was talking about. "That's right, I remember this person. I met him when I was picking herbs with an old friend in the valley. How did you know? "
"It's a long story. I have a friend named Wang Xinyan, I met her the first time I came to Songshan. When I first came to Songshan, I met her on the train … "Lin Yi said, then told Old Lin about how he met Wang Xinyan and what happened after that. "Now, that's the situation. If I knew you were the one who treated her, I would've looked for you earlier. I wouldn't have waited until now."
Old Lin listened to Lin Yi's words, but he didn't respond immediately. Instead, he fell into silence. After a long time, Old Lin finally said, "What if … I said I couldn't do anything?"
"You couldn't do anything?" Lin Yi froze on the spot. He even thought he heard wrong. "Old man, what did you say? Didn't you treat her back then? "
"The medicine I gave her was actually just a normal medicine, similar to the one you made." Old Lin smiled bitterly and told the truth. "The medicine was only supplementary. The key was the herb and the jade."
"Weren't you the one who gave her the elixir and the jade pendant?" Lin Yi asked anxiously.
"I did, but the herb and the jade aren't mine. They're someone else's." Old Lin sighed and said, "Your previous guess was right. That jade pendant was actually a trial product. It was made by the same person as your jade pendant, but this person … is no longer on this planet …"
"Wha?!" Lin Yi's eyes widened. "Not on this planet? What do you mean? Already dead? "
"No. It's a long story, and you don't need to know the details right now. All you need to know is that this person won't give you the jade anymore." Old Lin said. "Without the jade and the herb, her lifespan will only be extended for another year or so …"
"One year … Then what about the herb after a year?" Lin Yi asked.
"Let's not talk about whether or not we can find the elixir. Even if we can find it, the effect will be greatly reduced. I'm talking about the effect of the first time. In fact, the second time should be less than a year. After that, the effect will become less and less …" Old Lin said, "So, this is not the best solution!"
"Then what do we do with the jade?" Lin Yi regretted it very much. His greed for training had led to this result!
"There's nothing I can do about the jade pendant for now. If you hadn't forcefully absorbed the energy within that jade pendant, it would have been enough for her to use for the rest of her life. You forcefully absorbed the fragrance from her body, causing the jade pendant to continuously replenish her energy, so the jade pendant was quickly used up …" Old Lin explained.
"That … What about your friend? Does he have a solution? "Lin Yi asked.
"He doesn't have one, and he's not the jade's creator." Old Lin said. "Actually, Wang Xinyan's constitution is very special. I've studied it before, and her constitution is even more special than Xiaoxiao's …"
"Then what's the result of your research?" Lin Yi said, panicking.
"I gave the jade to her, and I stopped studying it after that." Old Lin said honestly.
"…" Lin Yi was a little speechless. He didn't want to give up. "Is there really no other way? Then can I give my jade pendant to her? "
"The jade is a one-time use, you can't use it. Other people can't use yours, and you can't use hers either." Old Lin said. "You don't have to think about that."
"So you knew about the jade from the start?" This was the first time Lin Yi knew that the jade was a one-time use.
