Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

The next day, Liu Yanjuan got up early for the first time ever. She couldn't even wait for breakfast and asked Li Mu to cast a divination to predict whether she could win at mahjong.

Li Mu deliberately feigned impatience as he cast a divination for her, then said, "You can win today, but not very quickly. Remember, yesterday your body hexagram was Fire (Li), which needed Wood to assist it. Today, your body hexagram is Earth (Kun). The stronger the Earth, the better your luck. In the Five Elements theory, Fire generates Earth, so you should sit in the South. Also, if you want to win even more, you can carry something with a strong Earth element on you. For example, jade, or even just some soil in your pocket. It's best to carry eight ounces of dry soil."

"I do have jade artifacts, and a little dirt on them... that's fine. Why would you need eight ounces of dirt?"

Liu Yanjuan asked.

"Eight is the number of Kun Earth in the I Ching, and it is also the number with the strongest Earth attribute among the ten numbers."

"Then why dry soil?"

"If there is moisture in the soil, water will suppress fire, weakening the fire and harming the raw soil. Besides, dry soil is also easier to carry."

Li Mu explained.

"Tsk tsk, Dad, what you said really makes sense! Okay, today I'm going to win big! I'll win ten phones!"

Liu Yanjuan was as excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood. She now believed Li Mu's fortune telling without a doubt. After saying that, she immediately went straight to the mahjong parlor.

But now, every time Li Mu hears this wicked woman call him "Dad," he can't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"First loss, second injury, hmph, Liu Yanjuan, let's see if you can leave unscathed today!"

After Liu Yanjuan left, Li Mu sneered and muttered to himself, a look of hatred flashing in his eyes.

After finishing breakfast, Li Mu went out.

He was going to find the best place to train.

This place not only needs to be rich in spiritual energy, but it must also be a quiet and secluded place with few people around.

He felt that in this city, such places were either in large parks or on Qianlong Mountain on the outskirts of the city.

Although there were some secluded spots in the park, Li Mu felt that those places were not quiet enough, so he decided to go to Qianlong Mountain instead.

Qianlong Mountain is only six or seven kilometers away from his community, which is not far. It takes about ten minutes by bus or taxi to get there.

Having been frugal his whole life, Li Mu still decided to go to the bus station to take the bus after leaving the residential area.

As he passed by the entrance of a large shopping mall, he saw a crowd gathered there watching the spectacle, with bursts of laughter and applause erupting from time to time.

Li Mu walked over out of curiosity.

It turns out someone was doing some kind of street challenge livestream.

The challenge is to lift a 100-kilogram dumbbell. Men can lift it with one hand, and women with both hands. If you can successfully lift the dumbbell above your knees, you will receive a cash reward of 2000 yuan.

People tried to take the challenge, but no one, whether a burly man or a strong woman, could succeed.

Lifting a 100-kilogram dumbbell with one hand...

With my current physical strength, I should be able to do it, right?

Li Mu was also eager to try.

Firstly, he genuinely wanted to test his own strength.

Since receiving the inheritance yesterday, he has mainly tested his divination and medical skills, but he is not yet very clear about his current physical strength.

Secondly, Li Mu just heard from the people on the live stream that if women and people over 65 years old can successfully complete the challenge with one hand, the prize money will be increased fivefold, which is 10,000 yuan!

This was indeed quite tempting for Li Mu.

You know, his monthly pension is only a few thousand dollars, but he can earn ten thousand dollars just by lifting dumbbells. Why not give it a try?

Moreover, he believed that the other party wouldn't cheat him by doing a live broadcast in front of so many people.

At this point, a food delivery guy in his thirties went up to try. This big guy, who was over 1.8 meters tall, used almost all his strength but still couldn't lift the dumbbell off the ground.

"This challenge is way too hard! Isn't this just a scam?"

The delivery driver seemed a little annoyed and complained to the man doing the live stream.

"Hehe, would it be a challenge if it weren't difficult? Besides, a guy with a similar build to you succeeded yesterday! And a fitness enthusiast also succeeded!"

The man in the live stream said with a laugh, clearly implying that the delivery guy wasn't strong enough.

The delivery driver could only shake his head and leave.

The onlookers burst into laughter.

"Anyone else want to take on the challenge? Whether you can do it or not, you can come up and give it a try! You don't even have the courage to try? Look, these are brand new real banknotes. If you succeed in the challenge, you'll receive a bonus on the spot. It's absolutely no scam!"

The man broadcasting the live stream waved a wad of hundred-yuan bills in his hand and shouted to the onlookers.

At this moment, to everyone's surprise, a hunched-over, rather withered old man walked up.

Yes, this old man is Li Mu.

"Hahaha! No way? This old man can't even stand up straight, and he still wants to go up and challenge us?"

"This old man must be obsessed with money!"

"I'm afraid he'll break his arm if he exerts too much force!"

"Hehe, I don't think he went up there to challenge anyone, he was just doing it for fun!"

……

As soon as Li Mu stepped forward, he was met with a burst of mocking laughter from everyone.

"Hey! Sir, are you sure you want to come up and take on this challenge?"

The man doing the live stream seemed surprised to see an elderly man approaching and asked in astonishment.

"Young man, you just said that if a person over 65 years old can successfully complete the challenge with one hand, they will receive a reward of 10,000 yuan. Does that count?"

Li Mu did not answer the other party's question, but looked at the man and asked.

"...Yes, yes! Absolutely! In front of so many people, and with so many fans in my live stream, I certainly can't lie to anyone! Sir, are you sure you want to take on this challenge? I'm worried you might get hurt! If you do get injured, don't try to extort money from me!"

After making his assurance, the man on the live stream asked another question.

As he spoke, he looked Li Mu up and down, his eyes filled with doubt and disdain.

It seemed that in his eyes, Li Mu was just trying to scam him.

"I'll give it a try. It's just lifting a dumbbell, what harm could I possibly do? Even if I do get hurt, it's none of your business. Everyone can testify to that, I promise I won't try to scam you!"

Li Mu rolled up his sleeves and said.

"Alright! With you saying that, sir, I'm relieved! I also promise you! If you succeed in the challenge, I'll give you a reward of ten thousand yuan on the spot! But... hehe! To be fair, could you show me your ID card to make sure you're over 65 years old?"

The man in the live stream asked again with a smile.

Li Mu didn't say anything, but directly took out his ID card to show him.

"Wow, you're 68 years old! You're the oldest challenger I've ever seen in my street challenge live streams! I really admire your courage! But I still suggest you don't act impulsively. Older people are weaker, and it's easy to get injured if you exert too much force."

"That's right! Grandpa, stop showing off! Get down! Don't break your back, then you won't be able to do your square dancing anymore!"

"Old man, stop making a fool of yourself! At your age, you should stick to your birdcage!"

"Hahaha!"

……

Upon learning that this ignorant and fearless old man was actually 68 years old, the crowd began to jeer and laugh loudly.

Hearing the jeers of the onlookers and seeing the undisguised doubt and contempt in the eyes of the man doing the live stream, Li Mu felt a nameless anger rise in his heart.

He stopped talking, put his ID card away, and walked directly to the dumbbells.

At this moment, the man doing the live stream was stunned for a second or two. He knew that the old man was serious, so he quickly interacted with his fans on his phone screen to liven up the atmosphere.

Li Mu bent down, grabbed the dumbbell with his right hand, and briefly felt the weight of 100 kilograms.

Then hold your breath, grip the dumbbell tightly with your right hand, and use your waist and legs to exert force.

call!

To the astonishment of everyone present, the 100-kilogram dumbbell slowly lifted off the ground!

Huh?

Is this 100 kilograms?

It doesn't feel heavy at all!

Oh no, is there something wrong with these dumbbells?

Or is my power really that abnormal?!

Li Mu was also surprised; he hadn't expected that the 100-kilogram dumbbell would feel so light in his hands!

call!

Then, he effortlessly lifted the dumbbells directly above his knees, almost reaching his waist!

"..."

At this moment, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

The man watching the live stream was also stunned!

However, Li Mu's next move left everyone present speechless!
