Chapter 220: Then the Whole Village Will Feast!
Luo Bingning's expression relaxed significantly.
She giggled, "I believe you. If I really only had a few months to live, husband, and you're this good at cooking but keeping it to yourself, then I'll come find you every night."
"A love story between a human and a ghost?"
Lin Tian chuckled.
Luo Bingning rolled her eyes at Lin Tian.
"Bingning, you should eat more. We have our roles, you cook and I wash dishes. So, you should keep cooking."
Luo Bingning pouted, "Husband, your cooking is so good. Why don't you take over from now on?"
Lin Tian shook his head repeatedly, "I may know how to cook, but I don't enjoy it. Besides, isn't it your hobby?"
"I don't mind teaching you, though."
Luo Bingning felt even more at ease.
She had told Lin Tian about the hospital's diagnosis, and yet he was still asking her to cook. This wasn't how one would treat someone who was terminally ill.
"Husband, why was the hospital's diagnosis so bad?" Luo Bingning asked while eating.
Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, "The icy essence in your dantian is like a supervolcano about to erupt."
"The cold energy in your dantian can't be channeled out because your body can't handle it."
"But now that you've absorbed spirit jade and your physique has improved, your body can withstand some of the cold energy from time to time."
Luo Bingning listened attentively.
"That cold energy is like scorching lava. As it passes through your meridians, it will undoubtedly cause damage."
"The meridians connect to your limbs and your internal organs. With damaged meridians, how could the hospital's results be good? How could your condition be good?"
Luo Bingning shook her head.
Lin Tian smiled, "While the meridians are damaged, my treatment helps them recover quickly. Your own cultivation also aids in their recovery."
"With continuous damage and recovery, your meridians will grow stronger."
"As your physique strengthens and your meridians become more resilient, your internal energy will also grow. Eventually, you'll be able to withstand the icy essence when it erupts."
Luo Bingning nodded.
"The hospital only detected surface issues. The real condition of your meridians and dantian can't be detected by their tests."
Luo Bingning asked curiously, "Husband, how skilled are you in medicine now?"
Lin Tian smiled, "What do you think of my martial arts skills?"
Luo Bingning guessed, "Over eighty percent of people online think you should be at the peak of grandmaster level."
"Regardless of whether that's true or not, it's incredibly impressive."
Lin Tian chuckled, "The netizens are right. I'm at the peak of grandmaster level in martial arts, and my medical skills are also at grandmaster level now."
—In reality, both were at the great grandmaster level.
His parents knew he was a martial arts great grandmaster, but Luo Bingning only knew he was a martial arts grandmaster.
If he told Luo Bingning he was a martial arts great grandmaster, she wouldn't worry as much when he was out.
Generally, one would say that.
But his situation was unique; Luo Bingning's worry helped him get treasure chests, and he could get divine ancient medical skills sooner.
It was better for both him and Luo Bingning.
"Husband, you're already at the peak of grandmaster level in martial arts?" Luo Bingning said joyfully.
Lin Tian nodded with a smile, "Shouldn't your focus be on the latter part? My ancient medical skills are also at grandmaster level."
"When my ancient medical skills reach great grandmaster level, solving your current condition won't be difficult."
By downplaying his medical skill level, Lin Tian made it seem more hopeful for Luo Bingning.
"Husband, when will the icy essence in my body erupt? If you haven't made a breakthrough by then, what happens if it erupts?"
Luo Bingning asked.
"If that really happens, then the whole village will feast," Lin Tian said.
Luo Bingning: "..."
Lin Tian chuckled, "Bingning, so you don't worry unnecessarily, I'll be straightforward. With my current methods, keeping you alive for three to five years is no problem."
"If I haven't made a breakthrough in five years, then do you prefer a coffin with a flip lid or a sliding lid?"
Luo Bingning rolled her eyes at Lin Tian.
She was completely at ease now. If Lin Tian could joke like this, he was at least ninety percent confident.
"Bad guy, I'm not talking to you anymore."
"I'm so full. You wash the dishes, hehe."
Luo Bingning giggled and went back to her room to cultivate.
Lin Tian let out a silent sigh of relief.
If Luo Bingning didn't maintain a positive mindset, her cultivation would be affected, making her situation much more problematic.
"To help Bingning grow stronger quickly, more spirit jade is needed. I wonder how Uncle's search for the second spirit jade is going."
Lin Tian thought to himself.
Somewhere in Europe.
"Mr. Ryan, didn't we agree on twenty thousand euros? Raising the price suddenly like this isn't right," Xu Yongjun frowned.
They had just agreed on a price. To avoid appearing too eager and arousing suspicion, Xu Yongjun hadn't paid immediately.
But after taking a phone call, the other party suddenly tripled the price, raising it from twenty thousand euros to sixty thousand euros.
"Mr. Xu, you haven't paid yet, have you?"
"Someone is willing to pay one hundred thousand euros. I'm offering it to you for sixty thousand euros out of our agreement."
"Do you still want it?"
Across from Xu Yongjun sat a European man named Darcy Ryan, a collector.
"Who offered one hundred thousand euros?" Xu Yongjun asked.
Darcy Ryan shook his head, "Mr. Xu, I can't disclose other clients' information."
"You have ten minutes to decide."
Xu Yongjun frowned deeply. After five minutes, he sighed, "We have a saying in China: money can't buy you a treasure. Since I want it, I'll take it for sixty thousand euros."
Soon, Xu Yongjun paid the sixty thousand euros, and Darcy Ryan handed him a safe.
Xu Yongjun opened the safe to check. It indeed contained the jade he wanted, and this piece was larger.
"Mr. Ryan, I paid an extra forty thousand euros. Now, can you tell me who was causing me trouble?"
"Or were you just bluffing? If it's the latter, I must say you're very clever. I admire that."
Xu Yongjun locked the safe and said.
Darcy Ryan smiled, "The person who called me is named Clarence. He's also a collector."
"He offered fifty thousand euros."
Xu Yongjun gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Ryan, you're good. I'll come to learn from you when I have time."
Soon, Xu Yongjun left.
"To the airport," he said, getting into a taxi.
"Clarence, sorry. You offered fifty thousand euros, but Mr. Xu raised it to sixty thousand euros."
"So, I sold it to him."
Darcy Ryan informed Clarence of the situation.
"He initially only wanted to pay twenty thousand euros, but he raised it to sixty thousand euros and still bought it?"
Clarence was surprised.
"That's right. He has already taken the item."
"Alright, we'll work together again."
Clarence quickly dialed another number, "Mr. Harry, I have a report."
"Luo Bingning's uncle, Xu Yongjun, bought a piece of jade. The price suddenly tripled, yet he still bought it."
On the other end of the line was an old man whose eyes narrowed.
He knew who Xu Yongjun was.
He was part of the Tudor family.
"I want all the information on that piece of jade, immediately!"
