He saw a flash of light in Chu Wei's sleeves. He didn't know what kind of spiritual weapon it was. It might be used on him. But after saying that, he seemed to lose his temper again.

The spiritual weapon that was ready to be used could not be taken back. Lin Qinghen saw him pull out a long chain from his sleeve and come towards him, but Lin Qinghen did not dodge and just stood there. At the critical moment, his hand turned again, and the chain went towards Lin Qinghen and hit the ground. A deep crack instantly appeared on the bluestone slab.

However, Lin Qinghen, who was standing opposite him, still showed no sign of fear, and his body did not move, as if he had already expected this to happen.

Chu Wei really couldn't do anything to him, and before leaving, he threw down a sentence: "You will regret it sooner or later!

That's all I'm talking about, little brat.

Then Lin Qinghen returned to the carriage with an expressionless face, and said to the Yin family who were watching the excitement: "Let's go, don't waste time."

After he finished dealing with this small matter, he came back and saw Yin Jiuxiao still sitting there obediently. As if he sensed his return, he turned his head slightly and smiled in the direction of Lin Qinghen.

"I'm back."

His tone softened. Lin Qinghen was originally in a bad mood because of this mess, but when she saw him like this, her anger subsided a lot.

Little did he know that, hidden under the covers of Yin Jiuxiao's clothes and the cushion, the chair he was sitting on had two broken corners.

"It's nothing," Lin Qinghen comforted him, "It's just a child. He left when he had enough trouble."

The Yin family did not waste time, and at this moment, the car had already moved forward.

After being disturbed by such a small matter, Lin Qinghen quickly got down to business.

He carried a book with him, which Yu Yinyin had found for him. The book mainly introduced some conditions in Beizhou. This continent was too big, and Lin Qinghen had not even left his house many times, let alone travel far away. Now he could only cram and make up some relevant knowledge.

But as soon as he opened it, he heard Yin Jiuxiao speaking.

"I heard it all. Suye Fairy Mountain is a great place to go. Why doesn't Qinghen want to go?"

Lin Qinghen looked up at him and replied, "No reason, I just don't want to go."

Suye Fairy Mountain is indeed a good place, but in my current situation, leaving the Lin family and entering Suye Fairy Mountain is just like escaping from a wolf's den and falling into a tiger's mouth. The only person I can rely on is the unreliable Chu Wei.

Relying on others for your life is not a good choice.

Then he heard Yin Jiuxiao laugh softly.

"You don't even want the promise of the chief disciple of Suye Immortal Mountain. Qinghen, what do you want?"

Lin Qinghen turned a page of the book and answered him immediately: "I want you. If you behave yourself in the future, I will be much happier than going to Suyexian Mountain."

Yin Jiuxiao stopped talking and just sat there with his eyes lowered. The two of them fell silent for a while.

But at this moment, Lin Qinghen was looking at the pages of the book, but his thoughts drifted a little further away.

What does he want

Lin Qinghen had thought very simply before. He just wanted to leave the Lin family and have a place of his own.

But the facts proved that there was no such thing as a peaceful and tranquil time in the spiritual world. As long as one was in a weak position, he would always be bullied. Without any ability, he could not escape wherever he went.

No matter whether it was these people from the Lin family or Chu Wei who treated himself as an interesting object, they were all just being looked down upon and trampled upon.

What he wanted changed.

He wanted a day when no one would dare to talk to him like this.

But… who can I tell this big talk to right now? They are too far away.

Yin Jiuxiao didn’t understand again.

He lowered his head and began to flip through the book again.

The Yin family's car quickly left the city, and after arriving at the city gate, everyone began to transfer.

It was a huge ship, with the word "Yin" written on the flag flying at the bow. When Lin Qinghen looked over, he could see that the hull was slightly suspended in the air, and the oars were pushed by an invisible force, sliding slowly and regularly.

This is a spaceship driven by spiritual power. It looks quite impressive, but when you get closer you can see clearly that many parts of the ship are old and it can only barely maintain its appearance.

Apart from the interior, the exterior looks even more dilapidated. You can hear a creaking sound when you step on the ground. It looks like there is not much money to repair it.

This flying spaceship is like a microcosm of the Yin family’s current situation. It is a glorious past, but its prosperity is no longer there.

Lin Qinghen didn't mind. As long as the boat didn't collapse, it would be fine. He wasn't in a hurry if the boat went slower. What really shocked him was the thick fog he saw when the boat flew to the border between Zhongzhou and Beizhou.

The fog was not white, but a thick, lingering gray-black color. When the ship sailed into it, it was like a drop of light blending into a drop of ink.

He had seen it in the book given by Yu Yinyin.

This can be traced back to the demonic energy rift in Beizhou eleven years ago that almost destroyed the world. Although it was finally blocked, the disaster did spread to almost the entire Beizhou before it was resolved. The thick fog between states is one of the aftereffects left over from that time.

Perhaps after hearing Lin Qinghen's sigh, Yin Jiuxiao, who was sitting beside the table, turned his head slightly and said, "This is not caused by the cracks in the demonic energy."

There was a subtle hint of sarcasm in his tone: "The other states were afraid that the disaster would spread and affect them, but they were unwilling to lend a hand, so they spent a lot of energy trying to isolate the infected scar of Beizhou. Unexpectedly, the barrier was not completed, and the Yin family died in it, leaving behind this unfinished product, which has been lingering for a long time."

After listening to what he said, Lin Qinghen stared at Yin Jiuxiao for a long time without saying anything. He just sat quietly beside him and patted his hands.

Yin Jiuxiao held him back: "I'm fine."

No wonder the book in Lin Qinghen's hand did not explain much about this. Perhaps this situation could not be made public.

The few words in the book were indeed not as impressive as the real scene that we saw before us. The spaceship flew for several hours before the thick gray-black fog gradually dissipated.

This fog has caused Beizhou to be semi-isolated from the outside world for decades. The Yin family had no choice but to drive this shabby spaceship out. There were very few people and tools that could penetrate the thick fog, which resulted in the news from Beizhou being out of sync with other states in the spiritual world, as if they were in two different worlds.

When the fog dissipated and he could finally see the situation under the boat, Lin Qinghen knew why this Beizhou was called an abandoned land by the outside world.

The ground in the Northern Province is mostly barren with little vegetation. When looking down, one can see some small remaining demonic cracks. These are too small to cause any major disasters, just like wounds on the flesh that have never healed. They remain here in tiny pieces, making the entire land look tattered.

Occasionally, I saw a few cities, but they looked gray and gloomy, which could not be compared with the prosperity of Zhongzhou.

Yin Jiuxiao couldn't see, and there was little he could do on a daily basis. When Lin Qinghen saw him sitting there alone, he thought he looked lonely. Since they were both on the boat, they couldn't do anything else, so Lin Qinghen would look for opportunities to talk to him from time to time.

Lin Qinghen is a very pragmatic person. Even if he wants to chat, he will not talk about meaningless topics. The specific situation of Beizhou is the most important topic he has talked about with Yin Jiuxiao these days.

"The situation in Beizhou is in chaos. Many places are affected by the residual demonic energy. No grass grows and resources are exhausted, making the fighting more intense," Yin Jiuxiao told him. "The Yin family was originally the largest family in Beizhou, but now it is a ruined family hiding in a small border town. Qinghen, now that you see this scene, do you regret rejecting the invitation from Suye Xianshan and running here?"

He heard Lin Qinghen smile and replied, "I don't regret it."

Can the poor mountains and bad waters deter farmers

Not only does he not regret it, he also has a lot of things to do.

The Yin family's spaceship was really old and worn out, and it kept stopping and moving. The Northern State was also large, and the family in front of them had been traveling for five or six days, and they were still some distance away from their destination.

Lin Qinghen's novice mission three was completed at this point in time.

He was calculating the time, and at noon one day, a "ding" sound suddenly came from his mind, and he knew that it was done.

Lin Qinghen quickly turned on the system.

After completing the novice mission, the interface of the entire system did not change much. At the production table, under the influence of the natural force, the quality of the pills increased to 6%. In addition to this, the most important change was the unlocking factor.

—Elixir proficiency.

When Lin Qinghen saw this for the first time, he had some ideas in his mind about what this thing affected.

Facts have proved that there is a reason why this reward is placed at the intersection of the novice mission and the advanced stage. Because of this, this system is truly a miracle.

Proficiency affects the production speed column.

The production interface of the hemostatic powder changed. Lin Qinghen stared at it and saw that a bracket was added after the original "one furnace can be produced in 30 minutes".

It is written in the brackets that the production time will be reduced accordingly for each pill made, depending on the level of proficiency in making pills.

The influence of proficiency is applied to basic elixirs such as Hemostatic Powder. The effect is that for each bottle produced, the production time will be reduced by 0.05%.

More importantly, the system adds a sentence at the end - there is no limit to the production speed of hemostatic powder. When the production time of each bottle drops to an incalculable low point, the output quantity will be increased to reflect the increase in production speed.

Judging from the proportion given by the current system, the impact of 0.05% per bottle is indeed not low.

Moreover, the system is quite considerate. It also takes into account the previous ones and all the 1,000 pills that Lin Qinghen has successfully made. He has reduced the production time by 50%.

At present, the system only takes 15 minutes to make a bottle of hemostatic powder. It won’t take him long to reduce this time even further.

Even if Lin Qinghen is no longer a high-ranking official, this alone is enough for him to run a small pharmacy.

However, when he came to Beizhou, he naturally did not expect to survive by relying on this simple hemostatic powder. The latest task released by the system was also intended to push him to move forward.

"Level 1 Mission 1: The fate of a pharmacist is to never stop."

“Requirement: Complete the improvement of 5 yellow-grade four-star (including four-star) and above medicinal materials, and increase the efficacy by no less than 100%.

"Rewards: 5 points of natural affinity, 1/4 of a detoxification tablet, 3 yellow-grade pill recipes of your choice. If you exceed the target, there is a chance that a hidden reward will be unlocked based on the completion status."

Lin Qinghen: …

The requirements for me are quite high.

Anyway, after reading this task, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Indeed, the rewards were very generous. He had taken the detoxifying tablets once and knew that they were really useful. Giving him three pill recipes at once was quite generous, and there were also hidden rewards.

But the content of this task is really not something that is easy to complete.

There are 5 kinds in total, he really is like a god.
