"Lin Qingquan." The old man casually picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote down three characters. Then he said, "If you still don’t believe me, you can take my prescription to a reputable Grade III hospital. Find some experts and have them look at my prescription to see if there’s anything wrong.
You can even tell them that the prescription is from me, Lin Qingquan... The name ’Lin Qingquan’ still holds some weight in the field of traditional Chinese medicine."
Seeing the old man so confident and assertive, Chen Yan’s intention to find fault with him diminished a bit.
It seemed... to be just as he said.
"You and I have no grudges, why would I harm you? Me harming you? Besides, I live right next door to you. I spent more than twenty million yuan to buy such a big house. If I harmed you, I could run, but I couldn’t hide.
Besides, I gave you a prescription without charging you a single penny—if I wanted to harm you, what would I gain?"
Chen Yan took a deep breath. After thinking for a while, he said, "But I took this medicine, and it gave me diarrhea for an entire day. That surely can’t be good for my body?"
"It’s fine," Lin Qingquan glanced at Chen Yan and waved his hand: "Your health is fundamentally sound. The effect of the medicine is just a bit strong. Your day of diarrhea has probably expelled a lot of the built-up fire energy in your body.
It’s not too harmful to your body. In the next few days, take it easy, eat lightly, and you’ll be fine.
Yeah, you should continue taking the medicine..."
"Continue taking it?" Chen Yan was stunned.
"Yeah, but your medicine is of good quality, so you can reduce the dosage. Take the dosage that used to be for one day and spread it out over three days."
Chen Yan put away his phone: "Alright, I’ll give you another chance."
"By the way," Lin Qingquan looked at Chen Yan: "There’s one more thing to be mindful of when taking my medicine."
"Huh?" Chen Yan was taken aback.
Lin Qingquan chuckled and said lightly: "You have too much fire energy. Blood and Qi fire is also fire, and Heart fire is also fire.
If you kill, the evil Qi you encounter will increase the fire in your heart. It’s not good for your body.
Don’t kill livestock, poultry, live fish, or live shrimp. You can eat them, but don’t personally kill them."
Chen Yan’s expression turned peculiar: "Old Man Lin, is this traditional medicine or fortune telling? Talking about evil Qi, what’s all this about?"
"Believe it if you want!" Lin Qingquan shook his head, waved his hand, and said: "Alright, that’s all. You can get lost now. I originally planned to take my bird for a walk, but now I’ve lost the mood due to your interruption. Leave quickly, I’m going back to my room to take a nap."
Seeing the old man drive him away, Chen Yan could only leave, still half-doubting. The old man didn’t even see him off.
After Chen Yan left, Lin Qingquan snorted, turned around, and went upstairs back to his room.
The ungrateful kid, I’m telling you to kill less for your own good.
Killing Mountain Demons is fine, as they are spirit monsters born in this world.
But killing that White Fox was different; it came from the Domain Realm, its fate governed by the Heavenly Dao of that realm. Killing creatures from the Domain Realm means the consequences are also counted by the Heavenly Dao of that realm. If you do this often... it will inevitably lead to trouble!
The old man walked into a room on the second floor.
The room was empty except for a figure standing in the corner.
Upon closer inspection, it was a human-shaped paper figure!
The craftsmanship of the paper figure was exquisite, with clothes painted vividly. The face was intricately designed, with well-defined features.
It was exactly like his bouncing, adorable granddaughter!
Lin Qingquan squinted his eyes, and with a gentle touch, sent a strand of primordial Qi towards the paper figure. It immediately emitted a glow and transformed into a human form!
The girl opened her eyes, then excitedly hopped over to Lin Qingquan’s side, holding his arm with a sweet smile: "Grandpa! What would you like to eat today? I’ll go buy the groceries!"
The old man looked at his "granddaughter" with a gaze full of affection, and smiled lightly: "I feel like eating some sausages. Later, we’ll go out together to buy some for the New Year."
"Great! Let’s buy sausages and some salted meat. We can steam them together; it will be delicious!"
Seeing the joyful smile on the girl’s face, Lin Qingquan also smiled, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes...
After returning home, Chen Yan hesitantly followed Old Man Lin’s prescription for another day. After reducing the dosage, his diarrhea symptoms indeed lessened considerably. But he still went to the bathroom seven or eight times a day.
On the second day, his symptoms eased even more and he only went three to five times.
For the next three or four days, Chen Yan didn’t go out at all. He stayed at home cultivating and practicing the Transformation Technique.
During this period, he also got a beating from his Consort Mother—it was deserved.
He had used the Transformation Technique to turn into Gu Qingyi’s appearance and tried to scare her in the living room.
It just so happened that Consort Mother was watching "Annual Comedy Competition" and enjoying a skit.
Chen Yan jumped over in Gu Qingyi’s form.
"I’m your twin brother~!"
Then... he was pinned to the ground by Gu Qingyi, and his face was swollen from the beating!
Actually, during those days at home, Chen Yan wanted to sneak out to find Lu Sisi.
However, since his diarrhea hadn’t completely stopped, he gave up on the idea.
Dating a girl and running to the bathroom constantly; wouldn’t that be too embarrassing?
So he stayed at home, occasionally chatting with Lu Sisi on WeChat, sending funny or gossip videos.
Over time, their relationship grew tighter and emotions began to heat up.
Just like that, uneventfully, they reached the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.
