Best Soldier Son-in-law

The three bows represented Mr. Gu's mental journey.    

The first time he bowed was because Mr. Gu urgently wanted to know the medicinal effects of the medicinal formula. He wanted to ask Lin Nan for help.    

The second time he bowed was when Mr. Gu sincerely apologized to Lin Nan and asked for forgiveness.    

The third time he bowed was when Mr. Gu expressed his respect for Lin Nan.    

The best way to deal with such an arrogant person was to defeat him in his field of expertise.    

Obviously, Lin Nan had succeeded.    

"Mr. Gu, I'm very embarrassed that you repeatedly bowed to me."    

Lin Nan took a sip of the tea that his assistant handed over and found that Mr. Gu knew how to enjoy it.    

"I admire you from the bottom of my heart. That is why I did such a thing." Mr. Gu smiled awkwardly.    

He was a little shy.    

Just now, he even suspected that Lin Nan was a liar.    

Lin Nan could also keep his cool and slowly drink his tea.    

Seeing Lin Nan drinking tea all the time, Mr. Gu became somewhat anxious.    

He lightly coughed and took the initiative to say, "How should I address you?"    

"Oh, you can just call me Lin Nan." Lin Nan said casually.    

"Mr. Lin, what is the purpose of the formula you mentioned just now?" Mr. Gu smiled apologetically.    

Here it comes. He got to the point.    

Lin Nan unhurriedly put down the teacup, then slowly asked, "Mr. Gu, do you have a habit of practicing martial arts?"    

Mr. Gu was shocked, and then he answered truthfully, "Yes, my ancestors passed down a set of body refining technique that can refine the skin of bones. Although it isn't some kind of advanced body refining technique, it is passed down from generation to generation in our Gu family, and it requires every single descendant to practice it."    

"Oh?"    

Lin Nan furrowed his brows and asked, "Mr. Gu, can you demonstrate it so that I can open my eyes?"    

"Is it here?" Mr. Gu looked troubled.    

"If you don't want to, then forget it." Lin Nan shook his head.    

"No, I just feel that this place is too small, and I'm afraid I can't use it."    

Mr. Gu quickly explained. "If you don't mind, can you come with me to the backyard?"    

"Sure."    

Lin Nan immediately stood up.    

He and Mr. Gu went to the backyard of Huichun Hall.    

The backyard of Huichun Hall was a big mansion.    

Mr. Gu stood in the middle of the yard and cupped his fists, "Mr. Lin, I'm going to start."    

After saying that, Mr. Gu started the body refining technique.    

Although it was called the body refining technique, it was more accurate to say that it was a fist technique that was derived from Tai Chi.    

However, this fist technique was very powerful.    

Although Old Gu was not young, he was very stable when he punched. When he punched, there was whistling wind, his body was light, and his steps were nimble.    

With this fist technique, even a few young people would not be able to deal with him.    

After the set of fist techniques was done, Mr. Gu's breathing became rapid, and his face was slightly red.    

He took a deep breath, cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Lin, sorry for making you laugh."    

Lin Nan nodded, and then said, "Mr. Gu, I have a question. I don't know if I should ask it or not."    

"Mr. Lin, you and I don't have to be polite. You can ask me anything." Mr. Gu said with a loud voice.    

"Have your ancestors never lived past seventy years?" Lin Nan asked.    

"This..."    

Mr. Gu's face was full of shock.    

That's right, the Gu family had always had a secret.    

From the ancestors of the Gu family, no man could live past seventy years old.    

Before seventy years old, their bodies were very good, and they even felt that they could kill a cow.    

However, once they reached seventy years old, the physical condition of the men from the Gu family would rapidly deteriorate, and they would eventually vomit blood and die.    

This sudden death at seventy years of age was more like a curse, covering the heads of all the Gu family members.    

However, this did not affect the females. Each of them lived for a hundred years.    

"Mr. Lin, your guess is correct. We, the men of Gu family, have never had more than seventy years of life. This might be a vicious curse. " Mr. Gu sighed.    

He was already sixty-eight years old.    

He only had two years left.    

No one would complain about having a long life, and Mr. Gu was even more so.    

Now, the average lifespan of humans had increased, but as a member of a famous family, he was unable to resist fate.    

This feeling was really uncomfortable.    

"No, this is not a curse." Lin Nan concluded.    

"What did you say?" Mr. Gu's eyes lit up.    

He quickly stepped forward and excitedly grabbed Lin Nan's hands. "Mr. Lin, you said this is not a curse?"    

Mr. Gu had a lot of strength, and Lin Nan felt a lot of pain in his hands.    

Lin Nan quietly broke free from his comfort and said, "Yes, it is not a curse, but it has something to do with the body refining technique you are practicing."    

"What do you mean by that?" Mr. Gu was curious.    

"Think about it carefully. Have you never caught a cold since you were young? Your body is very strong, and you almost never get sick?" Lin Nan patiently asked again.    

Mr. Gu lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded seriously. "You are right. Ever since I started practicing this fist technique, I have always been strong and healthy, and have never fallen ill."    

"That's right." Lin Nan smiled faintly.    

Mr. Gu was even more confused when he saw Lin Nan's natural smile.    

If the body refining technique was good, it would make people immune to all kinds of diseases. Then it should be a very good fitness exercise. How could it be related to curses?    

"Mr. Gu, you should know an old saying in TCM, 'Yin-Yang Harmony', right?" Lin Nan asked.    

"That's right." Mr. Gu nodded.    

In TCM, the theory of Yin-Yang Harmony was very important.    

However, what did this have to do with his body refining technique?    

Lin Nan continued, "The body refining technique you are using is a Yang body refining technique. If you practice it at the beginning, the effect will be very good. It will also be beneficial to your body."    

"But..."    

Lin Nan's words made Mr. Gu very nervous.    

"There is a limit to everything. If you have been cultivating the body refining technique for a long period of time, there will be too many Yang Qi in your body, and it will continue to accumulate in your body. If this continues, your body will become like an explosive barrel. "    

" When your body starts to decline from its peak and gradually degenerate, the extra Yang Qi will become a fuse. "    

"The final outcome is that one day, you will suddenly explode."    

Lin Nan tried his best to speak in a calm tone, then looked at Mr. Gu.    

Mr. Gu was silent for a while, then suddenly said excitedly as if he had gone crazy. "I understand, I understand."    

"The human body is just a container with a limited capacity. When I am at the peak of my prime, I may still be able to withstand this Yang energy. However, when I started to grow old, the things my body contained became more and more fierce, and I couldn't bear it anymore. "    

"That's right!" Lin Nan nodded.    

Mr. Gu was a famous doctor, and his comprehension ability was quite good.    

"Mr. Lin, is there any way to resolve my crisis?" Mr. Gu asked helplessly.    

Lin Nan thought for a while.    

Mr. Gu and his son actually kneeled down and said with an excited expression, "If you can help me get out of this predicament, then you will forever be my benefactor."
