Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1778: Suspicion (part two)

Lin Yi thought that it was too much of a coincidence that old Lin had sent him to the bottom of the valley and right in front of the cave.

And especially that time when he had just returned and showed the Jade in the box to old Lin, the old man had been very surprised! Old Lin wasn’t even that surprised when he showed him the box, as if he’d known all along.

But when he saw the Jade, he was shocked beyond words. He couldn’t figure out what was hidden in that expression back then, but now that he thought about it, he could pretty much guess it! The only possibility was that old Lin knew about the cave and knew that there was a small box in the cave with the art of Dragon mastery inside!

Otherwise, old Lin wouldn’t have been able to concoct the medicine for him to temper his body before this! But the existence of the Jade seemed to have exceeded old Lin’s expectations! Old Lin must have known about the Jade, but he was surprised that it was in the box too!

This meant that the Jade was a very important treasure, but old Lin wouldn’t say anything. Lin Yi knew that it was useless to ask. Old Lin wanted to say it, but he did.

“I know.” “That old friend of mine told me about it!” Old Lin said.

“That fortune-teller?” Lin Yi asked.

“That’s right, it’s him!” Old man Lin nodded.

“Can you be more specific?” “I feel like there’s a lot of things I don’t know, including my master’s sudden departure. You must know.” Lin Yi frowned.

“No, I’ll tell you when it’s time.” Old Lin’s expression was the same as usual, but his words were firm.

…

“Alright, let’s continue with the research on the prescription.” Lin Yi knew the old man’s personality, so he didn’t say anything more. He gave the recipe he copied to the old man,”Most of the commonly used medicinal herbs can be obtained here. There are many of them in your herb garden!”

In the West Valley, old Lin had his own herb garden, and there were many precious herbs planted there. Most of the herbs on the recipe were there, but there were a few that Lin Yi had never even heard of.

“Grain grass? Resting fruit? Ponytail bamboo … Old Lin mumbled to himself, then shook his head. “I’ve never heard of it either. Let’s look it up in the pharmacological books together. Perhaps there’s an ancient book that has it …”

“Still investigating?” Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel bitter. It took a lot of effort to get Xiaoxiao’s fire spirit fruit, and now they were missing three ingredients. How long would it take?

“It shouldn’t be too hard to find. I don’t think it’s something as heaven-defying as the fire Spirit’s fruit. It’s probably just rare, or there might be other names. Let’s look for it!” Old man Lin said as he got up and walked towards the study.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, had no choice but to follow old Lin into the study.

Old Lin had a lot of books in the library, but Lin Yi’s computer had scanned versions. Lin Yi flipped through the books on the computer, while old Lin flipped through the books on the shelves. Old Lin wasn’t used to using the computer, but the two of them didn’t have any conflicts.

Three days passed by in the blink of an eye.

Old Lin was right about these three herbs. They were extremely rare herbs. Grain grass and ponytail bamboo had other common names, and they were grown in old Lin’s herb garden. As for resting fruit, they didn ‘t!

Old Lin could only ask a few suppliers, but it was to no avail. Lin Yi also told fatty Lai to look for it, but there was still no news of resting fruit even with miracle doctor Guan’s medical company’s channels. It seemed that this herb was really rare.

“Can I not add this herb?” Lin Yi frowned, but shook his head after that.”It shouldn’t be possible. The resting fruit is essential for suppressing fire and concentrating the mind in the entire prescription …”

With Lin Yi’s medical skills, it was natural that he could understand the effects of the various herbs in the recipe. Even if he couldn’t write the recipe down, he could understand it by looking at it.

“You already know and you still ask?” Old Lin shrugged.”There’s nothing I can do. I didn’t find the common name for the resting fruit in the information. I only found some introduction to the medicinal properties and Pharmacology of the resting fruit. This means that this thing definitely exists, but I don’t know where it grows.”

“Yes, there are many herbs that can suppress fire and concentrate. This resting fruit is not a necessary herb. If it was a relatively rare herb, it would have been replaced by other herbs … Yes, replacement!” Lin Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up as he slapped his thigh,”It can be replaced, why didn’t I think of it earlier?”

“Hmm … If we’re talking about substitutes, there are some medicinal herbs with similar medicinal properties and Pharmacology!” Old Lin nodded. “I’ll look up the medicinal effects of resting fruit and find a similar medicinal herb …”

“There’s no need to look for it, I just know how to blindly!” Lin Yi shook his head. It seemed that he and old Lin had both walked into a dead end. Changing recipes was his specialty. The Golden creation medicine and the longevity and toxin cleansing recipe were all modified by Lin Yi, and there were no problems with the effects. Lin Yi was very confident in this!

In the next few days, old Lin and Lin Yi started making the body strengthening medicine. Tang Yun, Chu Mengyao, and Chen Yushu knew that Lin Yi was preparing for his next level of cultivation, so they naturally didn’t disturb him. Besides, they still hadn’t had enough fun yet. Er goudan would bring them around the mountains and forests every day, making them have a lot of fun!

When everything was ready, Lin Yi finished making the body-strengthening medicine for both internal and external use and prepared to go into isolated practitioning. With old Lin here to guard him, it was the safest for him! Old Lin’s attack power wasn’t any weaker than er goudan ‘s, and while er goudan was a bit stronger, it was more than enough for old Lin to deal with a normal enemy. Plus, old Lin had an obvious advantage over er goudan, and that was his golden clock protection skill. Normal people couldn’t do anything to him.

However, old Lin was the same as er goudan-he couldn’t leave the village because of the spring.

However, while Lin Yi was in his retreat, not long after the noble House meeting ended, the hidden houses all sent their important figures to hold a meeting for a big discussion!
