Mountain Stream, Magic Vial
Li Fei was always sick. Too weak to hold a job, he went back to his rural hometown, where everyone called him a useless leech. His girlfriend left him. His life hit rock bottom. Then a crab pinched his finger in a mountain stream. He fished out an ancient porcelain vase engraved with the name of Li Er. His blood awakened it. The vase was a celestial treasure—able to nourish life, heal the dying, and turn the ordinary into the miraculous. Li Fei drank from it. His illness vanished. He watered a withered rose—it bloomed into seven colors unseen on earth. He aged cheap ginseng into thirty-five-year-old premium roots, selling them for a million yuan. His rainbow roses sold for eighty thousand. In weeks, he went from broke to wealthy. The rose buyer was Chu Xinyue, owner of New Moon Restaurant. Business became partnership. Partnership became something deeper. With the vase, Li Fei grew oranges and vegetables that tasted like nothing else. He raised ordinary tilapia into ""divine fish"" that rivaled the rarest catches. New Moon Restaurant thrived, overtaking the city's biggest dining chain, Oasis Hotel. Its owner, Wu Wenzhong, and his manager Wang Chao fought back. They spread lies, monopolized the fish supply, and bribed a thug to poison Li Fei's farm. All the fish died. All the crops withered. Li Fei poured water from the vase. The fish came back to life. The plants sprouted again. And the surveillance camera had recorded everything. The climax came at the 70th birthday banquet of Chu Xinyue's grandfather. Li Fei offered a blessed Angong Niuhuang Pill as a gift. The elites laughed at him—a country boy with cheap medicine, they said. They tried to throw him out. Then the grandfather collapsed. He was bleeding from the mouth, slipping into a coma. The best doctor in the city declared it hopeless. Li Fei fed him half the pill. The old man woke up. His chronic ailments were gone. The doctor offered ten million for the remaining half. The crowd fell silent. Desperate, Wu Wenzhong pulled a knife. Li Fei disarmed him with one hand. The police arrived, armed with the poisoning evidence. Wu, Wang, and the thug were all arrested. In the end, Li Fei married Chu Xinyue. She gave him seventy percent of the group. He became the real power behind New Moon. She became pregnant. The boy once mocked as a sickly freeloader now had wealth, love, and a family. And the ancient vase, found in a mountain stream, gleamed under the sun—witness to a miracle that changed everything.
