Unfortunately, Yin Jiuxiao is not strong enough now, and the shadow he summoned cannot last too long. He has to go back now. Otherwise, he would definitely follow Lin Qinghen to see what this person looks like.
To Lin Qinghen, what happened in the morning was just a minor episode. He turned around and forgot about it and quickly returned to the plantation.
Although he got into a little trouble by going out to look up information, it was valuable after all. Lin Qinghen spent a day and finally taught the bee crystal butterfly how to spread pollen.
The communication between him and Die gradually became smoother.
He also controlled the concentration of the ripening agent so that the red round wheat used in the experiment would grow to the right time to bloom, and then let bees and butterflies pollinate it.
Spirit beasts are spirit beasts after all, their efficiency is different, and they have their own special skills.
They don't need to go from flower to flower. They just need to hover in front of a bunch of flowers and flutter their wings slightly. Then they can see the pollen floating out. Then they flap their wings again and it will fall where it should go.
Lin Qinghen, who didn't have the ability to do so, just watched helplessly from the side and thought it was miraculous.
It only took a few seconds for the butterflies to complete the task easily and then stopped to rest in his hair.
Lin Qinghen then carefully ripened and harvested the round wheat plants used in the experiment to see how effective they were.
As it turned out, he was right.
After scientific pollination, the round wheat he grew was significantly improved again.
Pollination is the process of crop gestation. After artificial control, it means more fertilization, higher fruit set rate and higher quality. This can be regarded as eugenics in the plant world.
The first thing to improve is production.
The yield of his round wheat was already about 1.5 times the normal yield before, and the increase this time was even more amazing. It easily doubled from the original yield and has now reached more than 3 times.
Lin Qinghen doesn't know how to make an appraisal, so he can't say anything definite about the quality, but based on pure feeling, there has been a clear improvement, but it should still be within the four-star range.
He is already very satisfied.
With the output doubled, the cost of making pills will be even lower. From a business perspective, the significance of his improvement this time is no less than breaking through the four-star level.
This will make it much smoother for you to run your own business in the future.
He will tell his master about this when he comes back. Lin Qinghen thought that after all, he did not have the real ability to control butterflies, and he would definitely need the master's help in the future.
Now he can save some energy when completing Task 3, but the system's medicine production speed is stuck there, and it will take twenty days to farm even if he farms faster.
Lin Qinghen was doing something important there silently. No one outside could hear or see him in the formation he was in. Yu Yinyin was quite capable. She hid two acres of land in a tree hole, but she could hear and see the sounds outside through the tree hole to ensure that she would not be accidentally seen when entering and leaving.
Lin Qinghen was busy during this period, and he was also busy outside.
About two days later, more people came to the Lin family, and the people in the plantation became busy as well.
Lin Qinghen listened and knew that the Lin family had other actions before the banquet today.
In fact, Lin Qingshuang had said before, and Lin Qinghen had also heard it, that Lin Fei's assessment as a pharmacist was one of them.
Lin Fei has been stuck at the three-star level in the Yellow Rank for several years. The level and star upgrade of an alchemist is not like that of a combat-type spiritualist who can be determined by simply testing with a soul stone. They need to actually make the pills.
There is a gap between three stars and four stars, which is between low and medium quality. It is very difficult to break through. This is true for elixirs and people who practice medicine.
In order to avoid luck, the alchemist must make three batches of pills on the spot during the assessment, and each batch must reach the level required by the assessment in order to pass.
This kind of examination used to be held uniformly in the branches of Fuxin Hall in various cities. Only the ring-shaped qualification certificate issued by Fuxin Hall after the examination could serve as ironclad evidence of the alchemist's identity and strength. This was what the receptionist was talking about when Lin Qinghen went to Bailu Pharmacy last time.
However, today, the recent alchemist assessment in Dongtian Mansion was moved to the Lin family.
Of course it is not just about assessment, it is more about display.
Many people who were going to attend the banquet have arrived. After all, there is more than one alliance, three mountains and seven families in this world. There are also many second-rate and third-rate forces who have come to join in the fun. When put together, it is also very lively.
Of course, there is nothing interesting about Lin Fei's low-level exam. They are just on the sidelines, just a foil. The protagonists today are other people.
Among the younger generations of the Lin family, the one with the best talent in alchemy is Lin Yunsi, who has some relationship with Lin Fei. He is the son of the ninth elder, Lin Shushuzhengjun, and is a few months younger than Lin Fei.
Generally speaking, in a family like the Lin family with a strong inheritance of the Sui Liuli two-handed blade, it would not be a good thing if someone with talent in alchemy occasionally appeared. However, Lin Yunsi was an exception. At such a young age, he was promoted to the seventh star of the Xuan level not long ago, and today he is about to take the eighth star exam. Many good seedlings in alchemist families are not as good as him.
This time it is called an assessment, but in fact it is just a secret competition among different forces represented by the younger generation.
He heard the servants passing by discussing how there were more than 300 medicine cauldrons that were all lit up at the same time, and how the flames were controlled by the alchemists like fire dragons. They also said that the fragrance of the elixirs was everywhere and refreshing. Although it was a competition among the younger generation, it was indeed a rare grand scene.
Lin Qinghen didn't like to join in the fun. He had a little free time at the moment, and there was only one thing he could think of.
—He felt that Lin Fei was trying to cheat this time.
It’s not that he has a dark mind. According to Lin Fei’s level, he will never be able to pass four stars.
Lin Qinghen knew him. The last time he beat and scolded the farmer, he failed to refine the elixir. To pass the test, he had to succeed three times on the spot. According to his progress, even once would be difficult.
No matter whether he wanted to go himself or others wanted him to go, with so many eyes watching him, and he still had the name of the Lin family, he was carrying the face of the Lin family, which was different from ordinary times.
If he failed, he would be beaten to death by the Ninth Elder, but now he had the leisure to hang out with Lin Qingshuang, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
There is no other explanation except that he is trying to take some unconventional means.
Even though Lin Qinghen realized it, he just frowned and had no intention of interfering and exposing his intention.
In his current situation, he should just take care of himself and there is no need to take risks to retaliate against others.
What he didn't know was that someone helped him do this today.
The atmosphere in the Lin Family Alchemy Square today is very different from the past.
It is naturally lively. The entire medicine refining square is circular in shape, and the closer to the center of the circle, the better.
There were two people standing at the center of the circle, one was Lin Yunsi from the Lin family, and the other was Yuan Rongrong from Fuxin Hall. These two people were of similar age and had great talents. They were also the two most eye-catching people in the field.
The stands are also clearly divided, with people from various major forces sitting in the front with the best view.
But upon closer inspection, there was something strange about the seating in the first few rows. The seats for the seven invited families were reserved, but there seemed to be an extra space at the back, with two people sitting there.
A young man in plain clothes, with his head slightly lowered and his eyes invisible, seemed to be sitting there a little awkwardly. The other was a slightly fat middle-aged man with a smile on his face, as if he wanted to talk to the person next to him, but few people in the aristocratic family paid attention to him.
Lin Zhongtian was sitting at the front row. He had a very handsome face, somewhat like a scholar, but he also had an air of dignity. The scholarly air on his face mixed with the dignity of a patriarch made him stand out.
At this moment, he was not very happy because of the sudden arrival of the Yin family.
The two people sitting there who cut in line were Yin Jiuxiao and the other was an elder of the Yin family who came to propose marriage on behalf of the Yin family. His name was Yin Miao and he was Yin Jiuxiao’s cousin.
Today, Lin Zhongtian originally went to the gate to greet the visitors from Sanshan, but a group of people from the Yin family suddenly appeared, as if at the right time.
At that time, the people around Lin Zhongtian tried to stop him, saying that they had not sent an invitation to the Yin family, and they wanted to kick them out first. But Yin Miao was not panicked at all. In front of the people from Sanshan, he said that he was not coming to the banquet, but to propose marriage.
"Everyone knows that Jiuxiao and Qingshuang have an engagement arranged by their elders. Both children will be eighteen years old soon, and now is the time to fulfill it," Yin Miao said with a simple smile, "I came here specially to discuss this matter with Patriarch Lin."
If it wasn't for that kind of environment, how could Lin Zhongtian take him seriously? Just drive him out.
Yin Miao was only a one-star Heaven Rank, and the few Earth Rank guards around him were of no use. A dozen or so of them could not withstand a single blow from Lin Zhongtian, who was an eight-star Heaven Rank.
But everyone from the Three Mountains was there, and they all knew about the engagement. If he took action in front of them, he would be criticized.
The relationship between top forces is complicated, with both cooperation and competition. The Lin family has become powerful in recent years, so it is impossible for them not to be on guard. While being polite on the surface, they also have to find ways to restrain each other. Now that the handle has been handed to them, how can they not use it
Lin Zhongtian obviously did not want to fulfill this engagement. Lin Qingshuang was so talented that she was the candidate for the next head of the family. Her marriage was a family affair and could never be given to a loser.
But the oath between heaven and earth is here, how can we break it
The people of Sanshan had never expected that the Yin family, who had fallen to such a state, could be so brave and really take a chance, running so far, and coming to the Lin family's door to propose marriage in full view of everyone.
The people of Bai Lu Zongheng were most afraid of chaos in the world, so after a few words, they invited everyone in, including the dozen or so guards.
You and I even talked to each other, and settled the Yin family's people in the Lin family's guest room, and then brought Yin Jiuxiao and Yin Miao here openly.
There was no purpose, just to make Lin Zhongtian unhappy, and also to enjoy the misfortune of others.
Lin Zhongtian was angry, but he was not an impulsive person.
The Yin family is not important, but too many people know about the engagement. It is not easy to ruin the marriage in front of so many people.
The elders of the Heaven and Earth Covenant swore an oath of moral blackmail, and several sects suppressed him. What he did was too ruthless, and he would definitely be criticized. There were many forces who wanted to add insult to injury.
Yin Jiuxiao was sitting there, and he knew this best in his heart.
But that’s not enough.
He knew that many people were just there to watch the fun and add fuel to the fire. It was their natural instinct to stir up trouble, and no one would really stand up for the Yin family.
But what if at this very moment, something attractive and contending arises in the Lin family
At first, some people looked at him out of curiosity, but after seeing him, they all sighed. This once favored child of heaven has now become an ordinary person. The Yin family has fallen on hard times, and Yin Jiuxiao has a chaotic temperament and is blind. He is really not worthy of being on the stage.
Soon, fewer people were looking at him.
Yin Jiuxiao still had his head slightly lowered, his eyes dull, but at a certain moment, his eyes moved slightly and aimed at someone on the field.
Lin Fei.
This person was assessed as a yellow rank four-star. He was at the very edge of the place and no one paid attention to him. Amidst the haze of pill fire and smoke, Lin Fei seemed particularly nervous.
Maybe the dumb ugly duckling named Lin Qinghen has to thank me.
Yin Jiuxiao thought, and then a very faint smile appeared on his face.
I guess I'm helping him vent his anger about being bullied.
