Lin Zhenyi did not spend much time at home, so she rarely had the opportunity to verify these things. However, because everyone else in the family badmouthed Lin Ge, she chose to believe them. Yet, Lin Zhenyi was reserved by nature; she disliked Lin Ge, but she wouldn't curse or scold him like her other sisters. She mostly showed him cold indifference.
Lin Ge, however, seemed oblivious to her chill and continued to treat her well. Once, when she accidentally aggravated a lingering injury in her leg, it became difficult for her to walk. She covered it up well, and no one else in the house noticed, but Lin Ge sensed her discomfort. He didn't say a word, but the next day, he appeared with Chinese herbs he’d sourced from somewhere, brewed a dark medicinal decoction, and told her to soak in it. After soaking for ten consecutive days, her chronic ailment was cured. Moreover, she felt her reflexes and physical strength had improved significantly.
It was during one of those ten days that Lin Ge had spoken of this technique, appearing to do so unintentionally. He said that when he was seeking medical advice, an old doctor who knew a bit of Chinese martial arts told him that if a person shut off their other senses, the remaining ones would become extremely sharp.
