Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: The Gorgeous Big Trickster

Qin Feng's face turned red, and his True Qi started to run amok again.

This was his first close encounter with the opposite sex, and Lin Nan's body was so soft, it felt incredibly comfortable to hold her.

The reason Lin Nan was so excited was because of her family's situation.

The Lin Family's strength was considered top-notch in West Capital City, having accumulated billions in assets over the past two years through the cosmetics business.

However, just as the Yangtze River's waves push forward, everything eventually declines after reaching a peak.

The Lin Family's cosmetics had been declining in recent years, and last year they were even exposed by the media in conspiracy with competitors, claiming that Lin Family's cosmetics contained carcinogenic ingredients.

They even found cancer patients to testify, insisting it was caused by using Lin Family's cosmetics, and took Lin Group to court.

It was clearly a malicious frame-up.

These cancer patients had nothing to do with cosmetics, suffering from things like colon cancer, lung cancer, or liver cancer.

But after the unscrupulous media exposure, all of Lin Group's cosmetics were pulled from shelves overnight.

Besides compensating distributors, the Lin Family also had to exhaust energy fighting the lawsuit in court.

Since the investigation was unclear, all cosmetics were prohibited from being put back on shelves.

They managed to persist for a year, consuming resources all the while.

This year, the court finally found out that it was a malicious frame-up, and Lin Group's cosmetics were not at fault.

The lawsuit was won, but consumers were not appeased.

After Lin Family's cosmetics were restocked, the sales plummeted rapidly, pushing them to the brink of bankruptcy.

Although Lin Nan was not interested in the family business, seeing her parents' hair turning white with worry made her anxious.

Now that she found an Elixir that could not only stop bleeding but also completely heal wounds, how could she not be excited?

"Big Wood, can this Elixir be mass-produced?"

Lin Nan suppressed her excitement, curiously asking.

Qin Feng, having gradually gotten used to this easily startled woman, chuckled, "My Mana is currently weak. I can only refine one batch of Elixir a week. A batch contains only nine Elixirs; mass production is out of the question."

Lin Nan sighed in disappointment, pouting, "Forget it, it's my own wishful thinking. If Immortal Pill could be mass-produced, it wouldn't be called an Immortal Pill!"

Qin Feng couldn't help but worry for the unfamiliar woman, quickly consoling, "Don't worry, there's a method, but the effect will be greatly reduced."

Lin Nan instantly regained her spirits and eagerly asked, "What method?"

Qin Feng explained, "The Elixir is essentially the essence extracted from medicinal materials. For mass production, you don't need to refine it into Elixir; using a medicinal decoction will do. However, an Elixir heals a wound in a minute, while a decoction takes a day!"

The previously despondent Lin Nan immediately regained hope, laughing, "It's fine, a day isn't long at all."

She understood women's psychology; no one wants a scar on their body. If this product hits the market, it would definitely be a bestseller.

Lin Group could use this product to regain market share and overcome their difficulties.

Lin Nan's demeanor became serious, taking on a business-like attitude, asking Qin Feng, "Idiot, name your price, I want exclusive rights to this formula!"

Qin Feng chuckled, shaking his head, "I've seen worldly money, but it's useless to me. If you consider me a friend, let's not mention money; I can give you the formula for free!"

Lin Nan looked at Qin Feng as if he were an alien, surprised. She thought he'd make an exorbitant demand, but instead, it was this answer.

She suddenly realized that this poorly clothed man might actually be telling the truth.

He really was a Cultivator, untouched by the pollution of the secular world.

She extended her hand and shook hands with Qin Feng, formally introducing, "Comrade Qin Feng, hello, I'm Lin Nan, and from now on, we are friends."

Qin Feng smiled happily, mimicking Lin Nan's tone, nodding, "Comrade Lin Nan, hello, I'm glad to be friends with you!"

Lin Nan giggled, and as she released his hand, she suddenly felt an inexplicable reluctance.

She quickly shook her head to dismiss the thought and curiously asked, "Idiot, how did you save me during the day? How come I was unharmed after falling from such a high cliff?"

Qin Feng smiled, "When you fell, I used my Spiritual Power to manipulate the Wood Elemental Power to weave a soft bed. It cushioned your fall, allowing me to catch you safely!"

"Spiritual Power?"

Lin Nan widened her eyes in curiosity, becoming more intrigued by the man opposite her.

Qin Feng nodded, "Yes, Spiritual Power, which you secular folks often refer to as Mana."

Lin Nan still listened with some confusion.

Qin Feng pointed to a teacup more than ten meters away and demonstrated, "Watch closely!"

With a gesture of his right hand, the teacup seemingly sprouted legs and instantly flew into his hand.

"Spell, so there really are spells in this world!"

Lin Nan murmured, completely awestruck by what she saw.

Such miraculous scenes she had only seen on TV; witnessing it firsthand left her understandably shocked.

At that moment, she suddenly resolved to bring this Idiot out of the forest.

He possessed Exotic Skills, and it would be a waste not to contribute to the country. At the very least, he could use his spells to easily solve Shi Yong's drug trafficking case.

Having made up her mind, she began to cozy up to Qin Feng, "Big Wood, why haven't you come down the mountain all these years?"

Qin Feng chuckled foolishly, "My master didn't let me leave, saying the temptations of the secular world are too great and detrimental to maintaining one's Dao heart."

Lin Nan frowned, "Where is your master? How come I've never seen him?"

Qin Feng replied, "He's in seclusion and won't come out for another year."

Lin Nan felt a thrill in her heart and immediately coaxed, "Idiot, your master is wrong. As the saying goes, 'Small seclusion hides in the mountains, while great seclusion hides in the world.' Precisely because your Dao heart is unstable, you need to cultivate in the secular world. Avoiding it won't solve the problem."

Qin Feng thought about it with a furrowed brow, nodding, "What you say makes sense. My cultivation has been stuck at the Heart Movement Realm recently, without any breakthrough. Moreover, my understanding of the Heavenly Dao has been diminishing. It must be because I've not undergone worldly trials!"

Moved by Lin Nan's words, he genuinely contemplated leaving the mountain to explore the world. Additionally, after meeting someone as beautiful as Lin Nan for the first time, he felt a tickling, peculiar sensation in his heart.
