Chapter 39 - Con Man : Part 1

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Li came to the night street in the western suburbs of the city, and went straight into a private room on the second floor of an old soup shop.

In the private room, an elderly man with beard wearing a tunic suit was drinking soup leisurely.

"Teacher, I am back." Lin Li bowed respectfully and stood in front of the old man.

The old man smiled and nodded, pointing to the side seat and saying: "Sit down and order a bowl of soup."

Lin Li sat down, did not order any soup, but took out a small box from his arms and handed it to the old man, "This is the golden carp you wanted."

The old man opened the box, and there were two small golden carps he wanted in there. He then put it away and nodded and said, "It must have cost you money."

"As long as teacher can practice the golden core, what is it?" Lin Li smiled.

The old man smiled and said, "It would become a waste if I were to take the golden core. I have collected these materials for fifty years and finally collected all the material needed. Unfortunately, my lifetime is approaching its end. Taking golden core at this time will do more harm than good."

"Fortunately, I met you, Lin Li, you are born a genius in qi refining, if you swallow the golden pill, I will be the happiest person in the world."

Lin Li clenched his fists with both hands under the table and couldn't help but be excited.

"Don't be anxious! Don't be impatient!" The old man suddenly said.

Lin Li stood up and said quickly: "Sorry, teacher this won't happen."

The old man looked dissatisfied: "It's no wonder that you have not been able to attract qi for a long time, and your utilitarianism is too heavy! If not for your extraordinary talent in qi refining, you will not go far with your state of mind!

"Sorry teacher..." Lin Li said disappointedly.

The old man said: "Go, go back and meditate for three days, and when your heart is settled, then come to me and ask for a golden pill."

"Oh..." Lin Li stood up, took out his wallet and was about to pay the bill and leave.

The old man stopped him with a wave of his hand, and took out one hundred yuan and said, "How can you pay for it! How many times have I said about this? You procure a golden carp, then call me your teacher, and I will grant you the golden core . Don't meddle in the rest of our own lives' cause and effect. If you can produce a breath of qi, that would be the best reward for me."

Lin Li had to put away his wallet and looked at the old man respectfully.

He only knew the old man for a month, no matter what he buys, he never let others pay.

Even if he lacked the materials for the golden core, he didn't charge him any money. He only asked him to prepare the remaining item, the golden carp.

This carp will be used on the golden core, and the golden core would be ultimately given to him, which means that he is providing materials for his own item.

"Teacher, I will go back and meditate now!" Lin Li said and was about to leave.

Suddenly, a group of people rushed to the second floor and squeezed into the box.

There were six people in total, all of them are muscular and looking fierce.

"Old man, I finally found you! Liar, pay my money back!" The bald headed man shouted angrily.

Lin Li was stunned, the amount of information he got from this sentence was huge, and he stood still.

Lie... Liar?

Lin Li quickly turned around to look at the old man, only to see the old man still taking a sip of the soup. He slowly put down the bowl and spoon, calm and relaxed, with a smile on his face.

This calmness immediately calmed Lin Li.

Lin Li thought, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding, the teacher shouldn't be a liar.

He kept telling himself that.

"Li Quan, were you beaten by your boss?" The old man said calmly.

The leading bald male Li Quan was taken aback, and then said angrily: "It was you who cheated me of 100,000 yuan. That was the boss's money. Obviously my boss can't wait to peel my skin! Quickly, return the money to me, or I'll Break your bones!"

The old man shook his head and said: "Yes, I lied to you, because you are sinful person! I have donated your money for you."

"What!" Li Quan was frightened.

Lin Li couldn't help but believe his teacher when he heard this.

It turned out that his teacher was not a liar, but deliberately used a small trick to defraud Li Quan's money and impose punishment on him!

The money was donated.
