Chapter 40 I Want to Try
"Huaizhi, Ning'er, both of you follow me into the house."
Mr. Lin gave some instructions and walked into the house.
Lin Huaizhi followed silently, but his heart was in turmoil. The time to witness a miracle had come.
Compared to the meticulous Lin Huaizhi, An Ning seemed much more naive. He cheered and jumped as he followed into the house.
"Sit down, and keep what I'm going to tell you. Don't tell anyone, including your future wives and children. If you can't do that, you can leave the room now."
Upon hearing this, the two men sat up straight and looked at Mr. Lin with solemn expressions.
"I swear that I will not reveal a single word I heard in this room today. If I break my oath, I am willing to accept any punishment."
Lin Huaizhi's expression was solemn and serious.
"Me too. Me too."
An Ning also nodded in agreement.
"It's unbelievable, but you young people are definitely more receptive than us old people."
Old Master Lin slowly told the two of them about An Ran's adventure, word by word.
As he spoke slowly, Lin Huaizhi could no longer maintain his usual calm demeanor, and a look of surprise and doubt appeared on his face. An Ning opened her mouth even more exaggeratedly, and the expression on her face became more and more excited.
His favorite thing to read on weekdays was cultivation novels. He often fantasized about becoming the protagonist in the novel, being able to call the wind and rain and be omnipotent. From what Grandpa said, is his fantasy going to become a reality?
"What do you think?"
After Mr. Lin finished explaining the story, he looked at the two of them and asked.
"Grandpa, you mean that we can practice in the future. Oh my god, it's so cool. I can't believe it. I must be dreaming. Aww..."
An Ning spoke incoherently as if she was having a hysterical attack, and finally pinched herself hard.
"It hurts so much. It hurts so much. I'm not dreaming. It's not a dream."
Old Master Lin looked at An Ning with disdain. Alas, she is still too young and has no self-control at all. But the old man forgot that he was in the same state when he first heard it.
Although Lin Huaizhi is usually steady and gentle, he is not much better now. He looked dazed and as if his mind was wandering. He suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Mr. Lin with eyes full of pity, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
It’s over. Looking at the condition of grandpa, he probably has Alzheimer’s disease. Oh, I remember that my grandfather was also a very influential figure back then. He was such a wise old man before, but now his thoughts are so wild that even he can hardly keep up.
He also obtained a space containing various elixirs and techniques. No one would believe this if they told others about it. It seems that no one can escape the ravages of time. In the future, I must be filial to my grandfather. Although he has Alzheimer's disease, I just treat him like a child and make him happy.
So, he said in a coaxing tone: "I listen to grandpa, I will do whatever grandpa says, grandpa is the best."
Old Master Lin looked at Lin Huaizhi with an indescribable look as if he was looking at a fool. How could this grandson become so stupid?
Alas, the old man sighed again. These people are really troublesome. It will not work without him.
An Ran, who had been silent all the time, looked at the old man and two children and couldn't help but want to laugh. My cousin looks at my grandfather as if he is an ignorant child, and my grandfather looks at my cousin as if he is a big fool.
I guess my cousin didn't believe what grandpa said and was just trying to coax him. Grandpa felt that my cousin was stupid and couldn't understand what people were saying.
An Ning believed it without a doubt and was laughing like a fool beside him. It was really unbearable to watch.
"Cousin." An Ran didn't want to see the grandfather and grandson staring at each other, so she spoke up: "Grandpa is telling the truth."
Lin Huaizhi knew very well that An Ran was not the kind of person who talked nonsense. When he heard An Ran also admitted what her grandfather said, he immediately became more serious.
"real?"
"Yeah, really."
An Ran nodded seriously.
"Do you want to try it now?"
"Try what?"
There was doubt in Lin Huaizhi's eyes.
An Ran didn't say anything. She walked forward and easily lifted An Ning up with one hand. Although An Ning is young, he is a tall man, about 1.8 meters tall. Now An Ran, who was a head shorter than him, was holding him up by the clothes around his waist, like a chicken. The key is still one hand, and Lin Huaizhi thinks he can't do it.
An Ning was so frightened that she screamed, but her eyes were surprisingly bright.
"Wow, sister. Hurry, put me down."
Then, An Ran picked up a stone from the flower plate, applied a little force with her hand, and the stone turned into powder and flowed out of her palm.
An Ning was stunned: "Sister, sister, can I become like you?"
"Can."
An Ran smiled slyly, but there was a glimmer in her eyes that An Ning couldn't understand.
"Ning'er, do you want to be as powerful as your sister?"
"Yes, of course I do."
An Ning dreams of becoming a person with superb martial arts skills. Just thinking about it makes him feel awesome.
However, Lin Huaizhi was never fooled by An Ran, although he also wanted to become stronger. But when he saw An Ran's malicious smile, he knew it was not that simple.
"Ran Ran, just tell me what we should do to become like you."
An Ran stopped keeping the secret and her expression became serious.
"Cousin, Ning'er. I have a kind of spring water here. Drinking it can cleanse your bones and marrow and transform you completely..."
"I want to drink, sister. I want to cleanse my tendons and marrow, open up my Ren and Du meridians and become a martial arts master..."
Before An Ran finished speaking, An Ning couldn't wait to continue.
Old Master Lin slapped him on the head and said, "Stop talking and listen to your sister."
An Ning touched his head aggrievedly and dared not say another word. I was told not to hit the head, not to hit the head. Now I feel like I’m not as smart as before after being hit.
An Ran rubbed An Ning's head with amusement, and then said, "Ning'er, stop making trouble. Listen to what I have to say before you make a decision."
"Although this spring water has the effect of cleansing the tendons and marrow and transforming one's body, the process is very painful, just like pulling out tendons and peeling skin. Because grandparents, uncle, parents are old, I was afraid they couldn't bear it, so I didn't tell them. My cousin and you are young and strong, so I wanted to ask you if you want to try it."
"Sister, have you already drunk?"
"Well, I drank it accidentally. I'm not trying to scare you, the process is really painful. You have to think carefully. If you can make it through, your body will be reborn. If you can't make it through, I don't know what will happen."
An Ran was afraid that they would act impulsively, so she emphasized it again earnestly.
"Of course, I want to try it." Lin Huaizhi looked very serious.
"Cousin, have you thought it through?"
"Yes." Lin Huaizhi nodded heavily. He must become a strong man. Before, his grandfather had told them about the reclusive Lin family, and he could hear the deep regret and reluctance in his grandfather’s words.
"I want to try it too." An Ning put aside her usual playful expression and her face was full of seriousness. He also wants to become powerful so that no one will dare to bully his parents and sister anymore. He is the man of the family and will protect them in the future.
"Good, this person is worthy of being my, Lin Zhaoxian's, descendant." There were tears of relief in Grandpa Lin's eyes.
It is better to do it today than to choose a day. An Ran took out two and a half cups of spiritual spring water from the space and handed them to Lin Huaizhi and An Ning respectively. The two of them took it and drank it without hesitation.
"It tastes good, but it's a little less."
An Ning smacked her lips, looking a little unsatisfied.
"Yeah. It tastes good, and has a fragrance of lotus. It's good water."
Lin Huaizhi also nodded in agreement.
"It doesn't hurt, sis. Are you kidding me?"
An Ning put the cup down and felt it carefully, and found nothing unusual. As soon as he finished speaking, a look of pain appeared on his face.
