Regarding this natural affinity, Lin Qinghen has always had a guess that this thing is definitely more than just adding bonuses to elixirs.
As the name suggests, it should embody "affinity" in some aspect.
Besides, this wasn't the first time this happened; he was conscious of it before.
When he was at the Lin family, he had just received the natural affinity bonus and went out to take a ride on the garbage truck. The yellow-level black-armored elephant that was towing the truck was gentle and particularly friendly to Lin Qinghen, causing the originally bad-tempered breeder to become much nicer in attitude.
Lin Qinghen guessed at the time that perhaps natural affinity had some influence in this regard.
However, he did not have the chance to verify it, and later he came to the City of Tears and interacted with more people in this place.
There were many ferocious spirit beasts in the Northern Province. When Lin Qinghen's spiritual power was low, he was very careful with his life and rarely came into contact with them. He did plant quite a few yellow-grade spirit plants, but they had no self-awareness and could not give him clear feedback.
Until now, when Lin Qinghen's natural affinity has increased by 16 points and his physical strength has increased to the Xuan level, he finally has the ability and opportunity to come into contact with higher-level natural products.
This banyan tree proves this once again.
It is not to be said that this "natural affinity" can completely bewitch some people. Lin Qinghen does not believe it. At most, it can make people feel more comfortable.
The current situation was caused by, firstly, the surprise brought by Lin Qinghen's face, and secondly, these people flocked to him because Lin Qinghen had too many good things in his hands. His spiritual power was low, and at first glance, he did not seem as difficult to approach as Yin Jiuxiao, which made them come in large numbers.
To put it bluntly, it's all about profit and temporary popularity. There is no real loyalty, even the loyalty is pitiful.
Lin Qinghen was very clear-headed, so the attraction in this aspect really only brought him trouble. When he showed up less often, these people would become indifferent and would disperse soon.
Besides, compared with these people's cheap adulation and praise, submission from the heart is more meaningful.
But spiritual plants are different. Even if they have self-awareness, it is much simpler than humans.
The greatest significance of the benefits given by the system to Lin Qinghen is that it is beneficial to his farming. If he can attract Xuan-level spiritual plants, his future path will be much easier.
He observed for a while, thought for a while, and then whispered to Yin Jiuxiao to discuss it, meaning that he should step out and give it a try.
He saw that the people from Haihun City had already brought the antidote, so if it wasn't what he guessed, there wouldn't be any impact.
It's only a five-star Xuan-level magic weapon. Lin Qinghen also has some protective magic weapons on him. In addition to the Tian-level one given by Yu Yinyin, Yin Jiuxiao also added two more that he can use to protect himself.
Yin Jiuxiao frowned, but he respected Lin Qinghen's opinion and quickly agreed.
Then Lin Qinghen walked forward slowly and found a place where the old branch could reach. He saw it tentatively circle around him a few times, as if examining him. It seemed to think there was no problem, and suddenly the branch turned and poked Lin Qinghen's cheek.
Lin Qinghen:
There was no pain, as the tips of its branches were blunt. Seeing that Lin Qinghen did not seem to reject it and feeling that he was still soft, the banyan tree quickly stretched out more branches and brought him towards itself little by little.
Yin Jiuxiao could see that the tree had no ill will towards Lin Qinghen, but rather liked it quite a bit. He pulled the trunk here, bumping it left and right, with very gentle force.
Lin Qinghen was not willing to touch it. When the branches touched him, he tried to release a little spiritual power from his fingertips, and then touched it in return, like a kind of communication.
Lin Qinghen has no spiritual marrow. His spiritual power is not gained through fighting, but comes from the spiritual source he got when he got married and from his occasional practice and absorption. Therefore, it seems particularly gentle and not aggressive at all.
At the moment when Lin Qinghen touched it with his spiritual power, he seemed to be able to feel Huan Xirong's current mood more clearly.
She was obviously pleased and even a little excited, so more and more branches came towards her. She even made a swing-like seat for Lin Qinghen, asked him to sit down, and shook him.
Lin Qinghen didn't want to stay here, he always felt like a cat being rubbed. Then Yin Jiuxiao, who didn't want to look away, came up. He saw that Lin Qinghen's hair was messy, so he reached out to help him sort it out.
On the contrary, the Banyan Tree obviously didn't like him, but was a little timid and didn't dare to attack. Yin Jiuxiao clearly didn't release his spiritual essence, but when he approached, its branches shrank as if in fear.
"This, this..." The person in charge of explaining in Haihun City couldn't help but be shocked, "There is such a thing!"
She thought the tree was in a particularly good mood today, so she tried to get closer, but a branch stopped her the next second.
OK, same as before.
It's not just special treatment at the moment. No wonder these two people have become so famous in Beizhou recently. They are not simple.
Lin Qinghen couldn't stay here for too long. Huan Xirong's action was beyond his expectation. He wanted to go inside to see what attitude his spiritual plant had towards him.
This tree had been raised for a long time, and it could even understand some things. When Lin Qinghen said he was leaving, it was still a little reluctant to leave. The tree did not stop him, but patted his shoulder with its branches, then picked out two of the best fruits from its own fruits and placed them in Lin Qinghen's palm.
Lin Qinghen:…
Although I am very happy to receive the results, I always feel like I am just paying for the money.
He turned around and said to the person who was in charge of taking care of the tree: "It's too old. If you can help it cut off some old leaves and clean up some old branches, it will grow better."
Lin Qinghen's spiritual power was fine and sharp. Previously, he could observe the state of plants with his special perspective. Now that Huan Xi Rong took the initiative to let him touch it, he could see some hidden blockages in the tree and pointed them out one by one.
The keeper remembered it and replied, "Thank you for your advice, Master Lin. When it feels better, we will go and trim it."
But just as she finished speaking, someone followed up with a sentence: "This tree is difficult to take care of on a normal day, and pruning it will be even more troublesome. It seems that only Master Lin can accept this. You are very suitable for this garden."
Lin Qinghen looked over there and saw a person standing there. It seemed that he had been standing there for quite some time.
The one who was there was Old Zhou Xian, the alchemist from Haihun City.
This man, who had come to the City of Tears with Bai Muchuan and suffered at the hands of Lin Qinghen, now seemed much older and was quite polite to Lin Qinghen. When he saw him, he cupped his hands and said, "This garden has always been under your care. Although Young Master Lin told us that we are just here to take a look and there is no need to go through all the trouble, I have to introduce it to you anyway. Please follow me."
Lin Qinghen always felt that what he said just now had a hidden meaning. He exchanged a glance with Yin Jiuxiao, said goodbye to the tree, and then followed the others inside.
Zhou Xian was indeed familiar with this place and introduced it to him in great detail.
There are about a hundred Xuan-level spiritual plants being raised in the medicine garden in Haihun City. Some are gentle, while others are irritable. Even Earth-level spiritual masters dare not approach them casually, but their attitude is obviously better towards Lin Qinghen.
Even though he didn't offer the fruit like Huan Xi Rong did, he was already giving Lin Qinghen a lot of face by not attacking him when he approached him on their first meeting. Lin Qinghen wandered around here for a whole day, and he took away all the fruit he could, intending to take it back for further study.
Zhou Xian took in this scene and asked at the end, "Master Lin, is your target set on the Xuan-level spiritual plant?"
Lin Qinghen didn't hide it from him and continued, "You can't keep focusing on yellow-level spiritual plants. It's time to come up with something new."
It's not just a task requirement, it's a current requirement.
Although Diemeng now has four alchemists, all of whom are above the Earth Rank, in order to try their best, they usually produce mostly Earth Rank pills. However, compared with what Lin Qinghen provides, the few Earth Rank pills are not enough to sell and cannot become the main product.
The Yin Family and the City of Tears began to transform themselves, and Die Meng also enriched herself.
Not only does it have the basic line of yellow-grade elixirs, but it is also necessary to open up a mid-range line of mysterious-grade elixirs to fill the gap and attract higher-level spiritualist customers.
If others said this, Zhou Xian, a heavenly alchemist, would not take it to heart, but this is Lin Qinghen, he is different.
Not to mention what happened in the past, he had never seen anyone who could please the Xuan-level spiritual plants, and offering one's own fruits was unheard of. He often came to this place and thought he was very familiar with these spiritual plants, but after Lin Qinghen took a few looks, he could immediately point out some places where they were not taken care of well enough and could even give reasons.
It is because of this that he can research things that others cannot even understand.
You have to accept it.
"If Master Lin wants to buy this place, you can talk to us and sell it to you, or even give it to you as a gift. It's not impossible."
Lin Qinghen was surprised: "Would you be willing?"
In his eyes, this was the best place, it was hard to find in Tear City and Spirit Pass. Since they were now in a cooperative relationship, Lin Qinghen would not do anything to take away someone else's goodness.
"Let me tell you the truth. This medicine garden itself doesn't make much money. It's even losing money. These spiritual plants are either Xuan-level or Di-level, but it's very troublesome to raise them. It's just that the resources in Northern Province were scarce before, so we used this as a resource reserve. At least there is a stable output, which is convenient for refining medicine. The rest is useless," Zhou Xian said. "But now there are the ruins and the immortal vine. Seeing that Northern Province is about to recover, the products outside are indeed abundant, and this garden is even more useless."
This is .
Most of them are of Xuan grade, and there are about ten kinds of Di grade in the center. Overall, they are not rare and can only be considered medium in scale. They have always been a bit useless to Haihun City. It is tasteless to eat them and a pity to throw them away.
A medicinal garden that can grow spiritual plants of Xuan level and above is not just a piece of land. Lin Qinghen knew at a glance that there were detailed barriers both inside and outside. Many spiritual plants are picky about the living environment, and there would be all kinds of equipment inside to simulate a suitable living environment for them, just like the Yin family's simulated training ground. A lot of spirit stones would be consumed in its operation.
Lin Qinghen definitely wanted to do it, but if he built it from scratch, it would definitely take a lot of time, so a ready-made one would of course be better.
But he still remained suspicious of Zhou Xian's current initiative and glanced him up and down.
"Of course, it's not given away for free. I just want to use this incident to give Master Lin a suggestion," Zhou Xian continued, "In addition to this medicine garden, Haihun City has more things that need your cooperation, especially the matter of alchemists."
Zhou Xian has been feeling a lot recently.
Haihun City has been cooperating with Tear City recently. Die Meng began to provide them with secret potions, allowing the people of Haihun City to start planting his extremely effective yellow-level spiritual plants. What they enjoy now is similar to that of Tear City, but it is too late for this step. Lin Qinghen has already gone ahead.
The earliest agricultural cooperative was founded by Die Meng. During this period, Die Meng did not recruit new alchemists, but this cooperative did recruit many, mostly young ones, and then built a special alchemist school based on this.
Pills are not only for sale, but also directly become the basic material for the cultivation of these talented alchemists. Because of the support of Die Meng, it has attracted many people. This mechanism, which is cultivated from the beginning, is much more stable than the status of an association or a pharmacy.
After the ruins, the function of Tear City as a medicine market became more and more obvious, especially after the medicine refining competition with Wang Yulin made him famous. More and more alchemists, especially young ones, gathered here.
Lin Qinghen still held the medicine in his hand and did not give it away easily.
Moreover, Diemeng's elixirs have always been much better than those of his pharmacy. The alchemists under his pharmacy are all the most talented in Beizhou, and their future should not be underestimated.
If he continues to research Xuan-level elixirs, there will naturally be an even bigger storm. How can Haihun City keep up with his pace this time
Lin Qinghen blinked and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Master Lin, I think it's time for us to unite and establish a unified Alchemist Association in Beizhou."
Zhou Xian always felt that they were a step late, which made Lin Qinghen a little biased. For example, he only provided the base of medicine to the Tear City Alchemist Association at present, to ensure the advantage of Mu Jiu and the stability of Tear City.
Leicheng seems to be Lin Qinghen's biological son.
How many alchemists has Mu Jiu recruited into his association during this period? Most of them were because of Lin Qinghen. Zhou Xian couldn't help but feel jealous when he saw this.
Mu Jiu's talent is not even as good as mine, so why is he the only one who enjoys such glory
Since you can't win by competing, you might as well join.
The cooperation among the three cities has reached this point. Sooner or later, they will become one group. He might as well take the initiative and leave early.
We were already a step behind with the yellow-grade elixir, and we can’t be any slower this time.
After hearing this, Lin Qinghen turned around and glanced at Yin Jiuxiao.
It's not that he hadn't thought about what Zhou Xian said, but he certainly didn't expect the other party to be so proactive.
"The original Alchemist Association of Beizhou was unified, but it has been scattered and divided for the past ten years. It's time to reintegrate," Zhou Xian continued, "Now that all the alchemists in our three cities have gathered together, it's the best time to do this."
There were many blank areas when the four states were scattered and split, which led to chaos in the management of alchemists in Beizhou. What's the point of only managing the alchemists in Haihun City or the few pharmacies at present
The pattern of being a human being.
