He saw that Shen Luoying was probably nervous, but he didn't know what to say to Lin Qinghen.
There was originally some distance between the two people, and at first no one moved. There was silence for a while, and then Shen Luoying hesitantly took a few steps forward.
Lin Qinghen heard her speak softly, "I have to thank you for the divorce. And, Qinghen, I... I'm sorry."
Lin Qinghen was still worried that she would think he was fierce, but in fact, this kind of character of his was exactly what Shen Luoying expected.
If she had been like Lin Qinghen at the time, acting decisively, not being entangled by the mess, and returning to the Shen family as soon as she found out she was pregnant, insisting on divorce no matter what, and staying away from the mess of the Lin family, perhaps the situation would not have turned out like this.
After hearing this, Lin Qinghen was stunned for a moment and replied, "It doesn't matter."
Then he moved forward, paused, then reached out and hugged her, patting her back to comfort her.
Shen Luoying is a very good person. He can feel a strange but gentle kind of familial affection from this person.
It turned out that he had lost his life when he was six years old. Lin Qinghen thought it was a coincidence that he came here. The Lin family treated him badly, and he always had a feeling of being out of touch. When he looked at the face under the birthmark that was very similar to his previous life, and now when he stood with Shen Luoying, he felt a strange throbbing from the bottom of his heart... Maybe everything is destined.
At this time, everyone else knew what to do and just left, leaving this place to this ill-fated mother and son.
Yin Jiuxiao thought about it and wanted to leave, but Lin Qinghen moved his hand, turned around and grabbed him.
"Jiuxiao won't leave," Lin Qinghen looked back at him, took a step back, and continued, "Well, mother, I was just about to introduce him to you. He is Yin Jiuxiao, the young lady of the Yin family, and also... my husband."
Shen Luoying's eyes fell on their clasped hands.
Because of that hug, she was about to hold back her tears, but now, she had mixed feelings in her heart and immediately held back her tears.
... What is it like to wake up and find that your beautiful daughter is married? It's not a very good experience anyway.
And it was the first time I heard him call her mother, but he was introducing her husband. I felt like my own daughter was being taken away by someone else before I even had a good look at her.
"What I experienced in the Lin family is really over. It's not my mother's fault, so relax and don't worry about it. They can't bother you in the future," Lin Qinghen emphasized, then looked at Yin Jiuxiao with a smile on his face, "Besides, you see, not all the things I encountered were bad."
At that time, she was indeed very reluctant to be married off, but now it seems to be the greatest good fortune that has happened to her. Because of this, she and Yin Jiuxiao met and walked together.
It's a mutual affection and also destiny.
Seeing this, Shen Luoying was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Qinghen, you don't want to stay with me anymore, right?"
Her children have really grown up.
"Of course I will accompany you during this period of time. But after you have recovered, Jiuxiao and I will go back to Beizhou," Lin Qinghen said, blinking his eyes, "but if you want, you can go to Beizhou with me. It's very interesting there, and I think you will like it."
When he left Beizhou, he asked Mu Jiu to expand his garden. Today he received news from him that it has become quite large.
After dealing with all the mess outside, Lin Qinghen will definitely return to his accustomed research life in the future. This is his main job.
He also takes on the responsibility of the Beizhou Alchemist Association. As the president of the association, he has to constantly update the research progress and provide guidance or reference opinions to all the alchemists in the association in order to maintain the vitality of the association and last long.
There are too many Xuan-level prescriptions, and there are naturally many ways and methods to be improved, so there is always a lot of work to do.
After Lin Qinghen completed the previous system task, his system also underwent a change.
Including the hidden rewards before, his platform now has four production lines. Four copies of the Yellow Grade Pill Recipe, the output speed has been suppressed to an extremely low level, the supply volume has been steadily increasing, five copies of the Earth Grade Pill Recipe, plus Lin Qinghen's 23% bonus, although the pharmaceutical level is not high, but in terms of quality and speed, Lin Qinghen's current significance is probably no less than that of a Heaven Grade Nine Star Alchemist.
The system's antidote had been given out, and the advanced task stage had been completed. After a period of upgrading, the system prompted him that it had entered the advanced stage.
From now on, the system no longer requires him to do anything based on the task situation, but requires him to give full play to his subjective initiative, draw inferences from one instance to another, and strive to promote the overall improvement of the spirit world's medicine refining capabilities.
Therefore, the system's task interface has now been changed to a points system, and he can freely choose his research direction.
Lin Qinghen looked at it carefully. No matter if he improved the pill formula or any raw materials, as long as it was the kind of replicable and popularizable results, they could be put here in the task interface for testing.
The system calculates points for him based on the extent of improvement and actual utility. Points can be exchanged for various rewards, including natural affinity, pill recipes that he can produce on the crafting table, or new production lines, but the prices are not cheap.
Lin Qinghen tried it, not everything has to be put in, a Xuan-level pill recipe with an improvement of about 10% can be exchanged for a few points. And a point of natural affinity is 100 points, and the price has to increase in the future. After all, the higher the bonus is, the more difficult it is.
The price of a Xuan-level pill recipe that can be put on stage ranges from thirty to fifty points, and a complete production line costs five hundred points.
As expected, life never stops, and research never stops. According to the system's asking price, Lin Qinghen's previous work was quite fulfilling.
He had heard from Zhang Fu that Shen Luoying was also interested in this research. If she recovered and wanted to do something, she could do it with him. If she didn't want to be tired, the environment in Beizhou was recovering, and Leicheng was originally a beautiful place. She could live there for retirement, whatever she wanted.
Shen Luoying was really interested when she heard Lin Qinghen describe the situation in Beizhou. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Okay."
She has never been an idle eldest sister. If it weren't for her engagement and her slightly poor health, it is not certain who will be the head of the household between her and Shen Luofei.
Shen Luoying herself is an extremely talented alchemist. Before she fell asleep, she was at the eighth star of the Heavenly Rank. Once she has truly recovered, she will go to Beizhou with Lin Qinghen. There, she will be the highest-level alchemist and a powerful aid to the Beizhou Alchemist Association.
Lin Qinghen recognized his mother and beat Lin Zhongtian up. He was in a good mood, so he talked to Shen Luoying for a while and told her about his research direction in detail. He asked her to go to bed early to avoid being caught by Yin Jiuxiao.
The Shen family arranged his residence in a courtyard very close to Shen Luoying, just opposite the door. Lin Qinghen had just come out of the room over there when Yin Jiuxiao hugged him back to his own residence. Before the door was closed tightly, he pressed him on the bed and kissed him.
“… W-what are you doing?!”
Lin Qinghen was panting, and it took him a long time to catch his breath. He felt that he had made his body go limp, and he couldn't get up. He then glared at him.
"It's late!" he said, "My mother has just fallen asleep, you woke her up later."
He always felt that Yin Jiuxiao had been going crazy for a while recently, and no one could handle it.
Yin Jiuxiao, however, held his waist tightly, lowered his head and bit the corner of Lin Qinghen's lips, saying, "I have been worried about your reunion, and I have endured it for a long time. Now I don't want to endure it anymore. Qinghen, be good, call me again?"
Lin Qinghen: "What's your name?"
"Husband."
Lin Qinghen: …
How come he still remembers
Not only was it the first time that Shen Luoying heard him introduce this title, but it was also the first time that Yin Jiuxiao heard it.
Where had Lin Qinghen called him before? For a long time at the beginning, he was still stubborn and believed that he was the one who married Yin Jiuxiao. He was very thoughtful and spoiled the other party as his wife. Moreover, he had been suppressed for a long time and he had not changed this mentality.
Besides, he usually called him "Jiuxiao" and had never called him by this name. Yin Jiuxiao had not paid attention to such details before, but when Lin Qinghen opened his mouth like this, he could not bear it.
That night, Lin Qinghen insisted that he make up for what he had missed before.
Lin Qinghen always spoiled him. Even though she was embarrassed and was teased by him for a while, she still followed his thoughts and called out softly a few times. But it seemed that this person was getting more and more excited, and he felt that something was wrong.
It turns out that wolves cannot be fed too much, otherwise they will be the only ones to suffer.
The next day, Shen Luoying, who was in poor health, got up, but Lin Qinghen was still not up. Yin Jiuxiao woke up early, closed the door quietly, and explained, "He is too tired, let him sleep later."
Shen Luoying: “…Oh.”
She was not stupid. She knew what was going on as soon as she saw the situation.
Looking at the expression on Yin Jiuxiao's face... the feeling of having his own dish taken away is indeed even stronger.
Lin Qinghen lived in the Shen family for half a month. In addition to taking care of Shen Luoying and dealing with Yin Jiuxiao, he also handled official business.
Now that all the identities have been chosen, the cooperation with the Shen family and Fuxin Miaofa seems to be more solid.
The issue of the supply of Xuan-grade elixirs has not been discussed yet. Die Meng had used this to fish in Suyexian Mountain before. As for the real channel, Lin Qinghen still chose them.
In the previous cooperation, the Shen family paid more. Leng Qiuyue was secretly happy at the time, thinking that she had picked up a big bargain. But now she sees that Lin Qinghen is waiting for them here.
The existence of Diemeng Pharmacy is nothing, except for the other identity that Lin Qinghen chose - the assistant director of Beizhou Alchemists.
In the past, all the alchemists in the entire spiritual world were managed by Fuxintang. After the incident in Beizhou, they lost contact with them and had to become independent. But now that Beizhou's alchemy has risen, they have their own independent association, which is naturally separate from Fuxintang. If you think about it carefully, there are many conflicts here.
So from the beginning, it wasn't that Fu Xin Miao Fa was lucky, it was that Lin Qinghen had set his sights on them early on. Under such a cooperative relationship, a lot of friction was reduced, and Leng Qiuyue was also willing to sit down and discuss with him, which was actually paving the way for the Beizhou Alchemist Association.
