LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 387 This Book is for You
Sitting beside Lin Yi, he felt somewhat ill at ease.
After all, when it came to these matters, he really had no way to join in on the discussion.
All he could do was sit silently, savoring his tea, occasionally standing up to stretch his legs around the area.
Finally, he saw the two people stop and also heard the hearty laughter of Director Lin.
He looked up at the wall clock; it was already past 10 pm.
The two had been discussing here, unaware of the time, for an hour and a half.
For them, time seemed to fly by, but for Lin Yi, it truly felt like an ordeal.
Even, he began to feel a wave of sleepiness wash over him.
Unconsciously, he let out a long yawn.
"Hehe, sorry about that. As soon as we met, we found so much in common to talk about, we kind of left you out."
"It's okay, it's okay, I wouldn't understand those things anyway."
"But, I find it curious that you seem to know a lot. Since you understand drug development and the human skeletal chart, why are you so unfamiliar with the human meridians?"
"This..."
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, unable to answer the question.
He couldn't possibly admit that it was the system within his body that had granted him this half of his abilities, while the other things hadn't been given to him at all. Most likely, no one would believe such a tale if he told it.
"Alright, if you don't want to answer that's fine. I understand you must have your reasons, don't worry, I won't press you further."
"Thank you, Elder Lin."
Lin Yi truly admired the old man.
He hadn't tried to force an answer out of him and hadn't dug further.
To him, that was enough respect.
"Ling'er, I never expected you to be so gifted, and that you would study the book so thoroughly. It seems I truly am old, and that the new waves indeed push the old ones forward, serving no further purpose."
"Master, you mustn't say that. The inventions you've created are still displayed at our sect."
"Haha, this guy, I didn't expect you to think about these things. By the way, where is he now?"
"Master has always been accustomed to wandering the four seas and never appeared for many years. The only time was the year before last when he sent me a letter, saying he was living well."
"Good, good, that's just his character. But for him, it's probably the greatest blessing."
"Master, do you have any plans for what's next?"
"What plans can I have? Just to live out my days here in peace. As I'm getting older, my health is becoming even more important. So, I'll give you this book."
"You, what are you saying? You're going to give it to me, elder?"
Startled, Ling'er's mouth hung open, never having imagined such a precious book could fall into her hands, let alone become its owner.
"Yes, I'm giving it to you. I'm of such an age now; I doubt I'll accomplish any more great deeds. In your hands, it might have a better effect. Study it well; it's fated to be with you."
"Apprentice-niece thanks you, elder."
"Alright, enough of that. Since we're family, we needn't be so formal. I believe your father's spirit can rest in peace now."

"That's right, ever since my father passed, I've been more determined, dedicating myself to our goals. After so many years, I've achieved some success, especially with Brother Lin, who has shared much with me."
Lin Yi never forgot who had helped him.
He too could recall how Brother Lin had brought him out into the world.
"Good, seeing the accomplishments of you two today, honestly, it excites me inside. But today, he told me, you want to go to Xi Lian Mountain, is that it?"
He brought the question up once more.
After all, for all of them, it was a great challenge, so, honestly, Lin Yi didn't want to bring up the matter at the moment.
"Yes, Brother Lin and I discussed going. Xi Lian Mountain has many regular herbs. If we could take them out, we probably could accomplish a lot. And when the herbs interact with each other, they could create a new type of herb, truly an unprecedented event."
"Yes, I know that too. But do you know just how dangerous Xi Lian Mountain is?"
"That, I'm well aware of."
"So, are you still willing to go? I urge you not to, and not to waste your lives for nothing."
"Elder Lin, honestly, if you tell me not to go, I'm sure to be unwilling."
"Yes, I understand that, but..."
"Elder Lin, please, no more. Brother Lin and I made our decision together. No matter how dangerous it is ahead, we will make sure to be thoroughly prepared. And now, with more advanced technology, dealing with the fierce beasts of the primeval forest isn't so difficult."
"Are you, are you sure you want to go?"
"Yes, I'm sure. It's my life's work, and I will never easily give it up."
Upon saying this, Elder Lin sighed deeply, apparently having some regrets about their decision.
"If you really want to go, I might not be able to offer much, but wait, let me get something for you. Keep it with you; maybe it will come in handy later on."
With those words, Elder Lin stood up and went into the other room.
"Ling'er, what is he going to fetch?"
"I'm not sure, but the elder has always been a person of respect. So, my master often mentioned him back in the day, and I believe he wouldn't harm us; rather, he would provide the greatest help."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi simply nodded his head.
If the old man could provide them with some clues at this time, it indeed could be a huge help to them.
