The garbage truck team that had been walking around outside was also very lively. The keepers of the black elephants stopped talking to him. They huddled together in the back carriage, talking about what they had seen and heard today.
"It's really impressive..."
"Are all the people from the One Alliance, Three Mountains and Seven Aristocratic Families coming?"
"Our Lin family is just prestigious!"
Lin Qinghen heard everything.
Apart from the matter of selling medicine, before he went out today, he had no idea that the outside was already so busy.
Lin Qingshuang is about to come of age, and Lin Chongtian is hosting a banquet for his beloved daughter. Dongtian Mansion is home to many of the continent's top forces, so it naturally attracts a lot of attention.
The classification of these top forces is abbreviated in the folks, which is the one alliance, three mountains and seven families that they just mentioned in their discussion. Lin Qinghen had only seen it on paper and heard about it before, and this is the first time he has come into contact with it in reality.
The first alliance refers to the Spiritual Master Alliance. In Lin Qinghen's opinion, this cannot be said to be a "force", but a bit like a government agency that maintains basic order in the Spirit World Continent.
Every city has a branch alliance, which has many departments and can provide spiritual masters with some functions such as strength testing and registration. The alliance also has a bounty task release platform such as the Mercenary Association. It also undertakes some economic functions, including coin minting. The 1,000 spirit baht chip that Lin Qinghen earned today has the seal of the Spiritual Master Alliance on it.
The three mountains represent the Suye Immortal Mountain, which is represented by combat spiritualists, the Fuxin Miaofa, which is a group of alchemists and weapon refiners, and the Bailu Zongheng, the first chamber of commerce in the rich continent. Their headquarters are all built on the mountains, so they are called the Three Mountains.
Lin Qinghen had never seen anyone from Suye Fairy Mountain, but he had seen the other two.
Bailu Pharmacy was the first pharmacy he went to today. It was owned by Bailu Zongheng, and they were trying to make a quick buck from him.
There is a division within Fuxin Miaofa. Alchemists belong to Fuxin Hall, and weapon refiners belong to Miaofa Hall.
He saw the dark patterns on the sleeves of the little girl who came to look for the dog today. She was from Fuxintang.
As for the seven families, they are clan-like families that have been passed down from generation to generation. The spiritual essences inherited from these seven families are all top-notch, and the Lin family is a representative example.
In the seventh generation family, three are combat-type, two are auxiliary-type, and one each is alchemy and weapon refining. The distribution is quite even. There are also some people who have a bad relationship with the Lin family, so they may not all come this time.
The Lin family has developed well in recent years, and has the potential to become the leader of the seven great families. When Lin Qingshuang was preparing to go out for training half a year ago, she was already an eighth-star Xuan rank, a well-known leader among the younger generation, and her future prospects were limitless.
From Lin Qinghen's point of view, the purpose of holding this birthday party was actually to confirm the family's status and show off its power.
However, when it comes to the best of the younger generation, in addition to Lin Qingshuang, Lin Qinghen also thinks of someone else.
This person's name existed in the original owner's memory, but he had never seen him.
When Lin Qingshuang's talent was measured at the age of three, it was said that she was rare in the world, but she was still one step away from Yin Jiuxiao of the Yin family.
—Yin Jiuxiao, the fallen genius.
Lin Qinghen has been secluded in the Lin family for a long time, taking care of his own little piece of land. He doesn't know much about what's happening outside.
Eleven years ago, when something happened to the Yin family far away in Beizhou, he could only hear vague news. After the incident was over, apart from hearing people say a few dry words about the "Yin family's high righteousness", it greatly deepened his impression that the outside world was full of dangers, pushing Lin Qinghen to hide deeper in the Lin family.
However, before the Yin family encountered trouble, the top forces were divided into "one alliance, three mountains and eight aristocratic families". The Yin family was the head of the aristocratic families who risked their lives for justice, but after the disaster, they only received a little gratitude and quickly declined, which is a pity.
When Lin Qinghen went out this time, his tentacles seemed to touch upon some of the changing forces on this continent.
The world outside is too big. He holds the system in his hand, and besides some memories churning around, he can't help but think more at this moment.
He sat in a daze on the back of the black elephant while the garbage truck went back and stopped at the plantation.
Lin Qinghen pulled himself out of his thoughts and just wanted to go to his two acres of field to check out the newly grown round wheat seedlings and pick out the ones that have turned red.
But when he passed through the door of the formation and went to his two acres of land, he saw a man there.
The man was squatting on the ground with a lamp in his hand. The lamp illuminated Lin Qinghen's seedling field.
Who discovered it
His heart tightened, but after seeing it clearly, he relaxed completely.
"... Master?"
Lin Qinghen spoke.
He recognized the person as Yu Yinyin.
When Yu Yinyin heard his voice, she seemed stunned for a moment, then turned around to look at him, her eyes staring at him from afar with complicated emotions, as if she didn't know how to start.
However, after Lin Qinghen recognized the person, he was just a little surprised, but not very scared.
This place didn't originally belong to him, it was circled out by Yu Yinyin. His master led a dull life and didn't seem to care about anything. After circled out this place for him, he rarely came in to look at it.
Now that it has been discovered, it is not surprising.
It's hard to say about the system. If she found out during Yuanmai, there's no reason why Lin Qinghen couldn't tell her.
He was not worried that Yu Yinyin would harm him. After being together for more than ten years, he could see this clearly.
When he came forward, Yu Yinyin had finally asked what she wanted to say. She pointed at the round wheat seedlings and said in a trembling voice, "This thing... Tell me honestly, where did you get it from?"
Lin Qinghen went out today and actually left a note for her, but Yu Yinyin happened not to see it.
The child had fallen on his head a few days ago, and he was a little abnormal after waking up. She was a little worried. She hadn't seen him all day, so in the evening, she thought about it and came here on a whim.
Then, she saw a very shocking scene here.
Although this area is full of seedlings that have not yet grown, you can tell at a glance that this is not simple.
This was the first time she had seen round wheat mutate when it was only palm-high. The red color in this nursery field was really dense, at least one in ten. More importantly...
"I grew them myself," Lin Qinghen explained to her, "I've been busy with this over the years, and I've made some progress."
He also tried to explain the principles of hybridization and genetic modification to Yu Yinyin. Yu Yinyin didn't understand, but she seemed to realize something. Her face turned strange, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Just, some results?"
She took a few deep breaths, her emotions fluctuating the most in the past ten years: "Lin Qinghen, I don't think you understand what you have planted."
"Why don't I understand, Yuanmai!" Lin Qinghen said sincerely, "It's just that the spiritual power is a little more concentrated, the mutation period is a little shorter, and the yield is a little higher, that's all... right?"
But looking at Yu Yinyin's expression, he felt something was not right, and the end of his voice began to sound a little uncertain.
Yu Yinyin tried to calm herself down: "Even though they are just seedlings, these mutant round wheat plants are no longer three stars. This one, no, these... are all four stars, all of them."
Four-star mutant round wheat!
It had been a long time since she had seen anything that surprised her to this extent over the years.
She really underestimated the child she had raised. Lin Qinghen was far more surprising than she had imagined.
"ah?"
This time it was Lin Qinghen's turn to be surprised.
It's not his fault that he is not well-trained. Whether it is elixir or spiritual plant, its identification and grading is a highly professional skill that requires repeated practice. A spiritual master with good talent can practice it by the way, but Lin Qinghen cannot.
There are certain requirements for the level of spiritual power for grade appraisal, which must at least be of the same level or higher than the item being appraised.
Lin Qinghen is now at the second level of the Yellow Rank. He can only feel that the spiritual power contained in the round wheat he grows is denser than others and has better effects than others, but he cannot tell exactly how much denser or how much better it is.
He had tried the medicine on chickens, but the chickens couldn't give him any feedback.
In short, this was the first time he knew about a breakthrough in rank.
Yu Yinyin stared at him, still a little incredulous: "If it is used to make medicine..."
Lin Qinghen's heart trembled.
According to this logic, the elixir he refined did not seem to be as simple as he imagined.
He has rich theoretical knowledge and knows that if the main ingredient for alchemy is four-star, then even if the base medicine used is not very good, the finished elixir must be four-star. The main ingredient determines the finished product, which is an unchanging law.
What Yin Jiuxiao could think of in the inn, Yu Yinyin and Lin Qinghen could also think of at this moment.
Yu Yinyin's expression became more and more serious: "Qinghen, this matter is more serious than you think. Tell me honestly, does anyone else know about this?"
Lin Qinghen: "Hmm..."
What can I say
He had just sold two bottles of medicine, and it was too late to undo what had been done. Even though he now knew that what he had created was a bit beyond common sense, when he thought about it carefully, he did not regret it.
Compared to himself, the master who had always been indifferent seemed to be much more excited. Lin Qinghen could even keenly feel that her spiritual energy was unstable and was vibrating along with her emotions.
Lin Qinghen still did not have a clear ability to identify things with higher spiritual power than him, but he felt for a moment that the spiritual power vibrating from the excited Yu Yinyin's body was a bit too strong, as if it was far more than one star of the Xuan level.
But it was only for a moment.
