After Yin Jiuxiao returned, he had not been practicing for long when he heard a sound outside the door.
Lin Qinghen did not leave, and was now escorted to the door of his room by Yu Yinyin. His departure and return were both silent, and no one else noticed.
So Yin Jiuxiao waited for him to push the door and come in, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see anyone.
What are you doing outside
It was strange that he went outside to look for it. Yin Jiuxiao always remembered that he was a blind man and normally could not move around.
So he thought about it, and based on his recent experience, he leaned on the edge of the bed very skillfully and began to act pitiful.
Lin Qinghen just came back and squatted outside for a while, then he heard Yin Jiuxiao's voice inside.
"Qinghen, Qinghen?" The voice sounded like someone who had just woken up. "Are you there?"
Lin Qinghen didn't reply to him for a while, then he heard a "bang" in the room. He thought something was wrong and hurried into the room to see. Sure enough, Yin Jiuxiao had woken up and couldn't find him for a while, and fell when he got up from the bed.
When Lin Qinghen rushed in, Yin Jiuxiao was trying to stand up from the ground, his hair was a little messy, and when he heard footsteps, he turned to look in his direction, his gray eyes showing a bit of aggrieved.
"You're here. Where have you been?"
Lin Qinghen helped the man over and asked if he had fallen anywhere. He looked carefully and was relieved to see that nothing was wrong.
"Would I run away?" Lin Qinghen said to him, "Why are you in such a hurry? Just sit and wait, I'll be here soon."
Yin Jiuxiao thought that you might really be able to run with this ability, and you have walked past him just now. When Lin Qinghen came closer, he reached out and grabbed his wrist.
Then he quickly noticed that Lin Qinghen's hands did not seem to be clean. When he helped him up, he did not have time to wash his hands, leaving several handprints on Yin Jiuxiao's clothes.
Before he could ask, Lin Qinghen spoke first: "I was digging outside. I didn't walk far and your clothes got dirty. I'll change them for you later."
Then Lin Qinghen reached out and patted his clothes to get rid of some of the dirt and dust on them.
Digging
Before Yin Jiuxiao could speak again, Lin Qinghen saw that he was fine, said "Be good", and ran out again. After a while, he came back with two jars in his hands.
It was two jars filled with soil.
He and Yu Yinyin went to the herbal medicine garden and brought back this
Since he said that, Yin Jiuxiao asked directly: "Why are you digging the soil?"
Lin Qinghen had wanted to discuss this with him, but he did not answer directly. Instead, he thought about it and asked back, "Jiuxiao, do you remember that before we got here, you told me that there was something abnormal about the soil in Beizhou?"
Yin Jiuxiao would naturally not forget this.
He thought that Lin Qinghen was planning to do something with farming again, but the soil in Beizhou really didn't provide him with any good conditions.
In the end, we have to go back to the incident of the demonic energy rift eleven years ago, which also involves the negative attribute of "demonic energy" that appears very frequently in the spiritual world and always needs to be resisted.
When Lin Qinghen first came to this world, he carefully studied the most basic knowledge such as "demonic energy".
Legend has it that there is a back door in the spirit world, which is another world where all the turbid air, also known as demonic air, is stagnant. It is a purgatory on earth, a gathering place for all dirty things.
However, the two places are not connected, and no creatures from the other side have appeared in the spiritual world. Many legends are just guesses. The magic cracks that often appear on the surface of the continent are real and appear from time to time, just like a long and narrow cut on the ground.
The so-called "demonic energy" surging in the crack has no substance, and you can soon see the animals and plants around the crack begin to quickly wither and die.
If one's strength is too weak, the person whose body is invaded by evil spirits will feel a corrosive pain and his spiritual power will drop rapidly. If he is not treated in time, he will inevitably die.
Generally speaking, if the demonic energy cracks are not resolved in time, they will indeed spread, but they all have a certain range and will not spread indefinitely, and they will basically not appear inside populated cities.
The previous one in Beizhou is unique and there is no similar record in history.
It may seem like a pure disaster, but in fact, like the rat plague, it is profitable.
Demonic rifts bring death, but also extremely rare treasures and wealth.
The vast majority of animals and plants infected by the evil spirit will die, but a small number will survive. Not only will they not die, but they will seem to be chosen by the evil spirit and will instantly absorb extremely powerful forces and go into a rampage state of indiscriminate attacks.
Once these things in the violent state are dealt with, and until they die, the cracks will heal and the problem of the demonic cracks will be solved.
After Lin Qinghen traveled through time, it was the first time he heard and felt something about the demonic energy rift. It was also a matter concerning the Lin family, and Lin Zhongtian went there in person.
The most powerful thing in the second crack was a violent ghost-eyed thousand-handed vine, which was originally just a one-star earth-level spiritual plant with a not-so-strong attack power. After being driven by the demonic energy to grow rapidly, its power increased to a terrifying level, and it even had obvious intelligence and combat awareness.
With just a few shots, he killed more than a hundred people from seven or eight teams of the Lin family, all of whom were earth-level masters.
Two three-star Heavenly Rank elders of the Lin family also died in the incident. Lin Zhongtian broke an arm and almost died. He was finally saved by the family secret treasure.
However, even with such sacrifices, after each vine of the Ghost-Eyed Thousand-Handed Vine that was finally destroyed was dug up, it was found to be filled with densely packed crystals of pure power.
This is one of the commonly used materials for earth-level refining tools and medicines. It is difficult to find normally, but the crystals dug out from this vine filled two entire warehouses.
This was only the most basic gain. After getting this thing, every part of the body was a treasure. The most precious vine heart was exchanged by Lin Zhongtian, and he got a lot of benefits in return.
It was probably because of this harvest that the Lin family had the opportunity to climb up from the bottom of the aristocratic families to this position step by step.
Danger brings opportunity, this is the spirit world.
The high-risk and high-return gamble of Demonic Rift is indeed more attractive than ordinary adventures.
Looking at the catastrophe in Beizhou from this perspective, in fact, the demonic energy rift was not really resolved.
The Yin family's solution was to perish together. They were once the top family in the continent, with more than a hundred heavenly-level masters and countless spiritual treasures in the family, almost all of which were destroyed.
Although the matter was over, there was almost nothing left around the crack at that time, and the secret treasures that were quickly created by the demonic energy were all turned into powder, and no one benefited from it.
There are still ruins of the City of Tears, which look very tragic. The city can be rebuilt, but the changed soil will remain forever as an unresolved sequelae.
Much of the soil in the Northern Province has already taken on a faint demonic aura.
Ordinary spiritual plants cannot survive in this kind of soil, so when Lin Qinghen looked down from the spaceship, his first impression was that it was desolate.
This place is not like Zhongzhou, where you can't just mark out a piece of land to make a medicinal garden. All plots of land need to be divided, and only some unpolluted land can be used to grow crops.
So when Lin Qinghen went to see it just now, he could see that all the medicine gardens of the pharmacies were crowded together.
As for Lin Qinghen's feeling, the first time he stepped on it, he felt that the soil in the garden was different from that in Zhongzhou, although it was not polluted.
Yu Yinyin has already planted some things on it. The soil has been transformed by her bees and butterflies. She feels it is similar to the Lin family's.
But Lin Qinghen felt uncomfortable.
His spiritual power had been trained in great detail by himself, and with the bonus from the system, the six points of natural affinity did not only add to the quality of his pills.
Lin Qinghen just felt as if he had a pair of eyes on his body, and he looked at these things differently.
In order to make a comparison, he dug up the soil in the yard when he came back. There was no grass growing in Yin Jiuxiao's yard, which was the type of polluted yard.
Lin Qinghen went through all these things, and then Yin Jiuxiao saw him looking at him, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or asking himself: "Jiuxiao, what do you think the devil energy is?"
Yin Jiuxiao, whose body is half demonic, said: "..."
Honestly speaking, as far as he felt, demonic energy and spiritual energy were just two different kinds of power, not completely opposite. In his previous life, he practiced with these two kinds of power until the end, and he did feel a sense of mutual promotion and mutual restraint between them.
The spiritual plants and beasts that Lin Qinghen just mentioned that were affected by the evil spirit and went berserk, it wasn’t really accurate to say that they were “infected”, it was more like a kind of… rebirth after being left alone.
Yin Jiuxiao is someone who has experienced this state. To a certain extent, the spiritual and demonic energies can even obviously promote each other. What is difficult to grasp is that fleeting balance.
He didn't hide this. When Lin Qinghen asked, he answered casually.
Anyway, it's just a saying, and Lin Qinghen couldn't delve into it further.
Lin Qinghen knew that he would speak, and after listening to him, she smiled.
Yin Jiuxiao may seem weak at first glance, but judging from the fact that he still refuses to give up his cultivation, he must have some thoughts in his mind. What he just said is actually somewhat similar to Lin Qinghen's thoughts.
It's a bit hard to find resonance.
The more they get along, the more they realize that they are becoming more and more alike.
"Some people once tried to cultivate demonic energy, or even to cultivate small demonic energy cracks, in order to gain benefits, but all of them ended in failure." Lin Qinghen's fingers tapped the table unconsciously, which was a sign that he was thinking about something. "Jiuxiao, the spirit and demon energies are in conflict, so... "
He didn't say the following words, his eyes turned and fell on the two bottles of dug out soil.
In the past, Lin Qinghen didn't dare to touch the demonic energy. He valued his life, and this thing was extremely dangerous and could easily cause harm once touched.
But it’s different here in Beizhou. The demonic energy contained in the soil is weak. It’s just not suitable for plant growth. It won’t be a problem if people touch it.
What if the subtle demonic energy in all things could be used for his benefit in a different way
Lin Qinghen seemed to have found a solution to the task at hand.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. He was cautious before, but he has always been bold in his research.
This thing called demonic energy... Lin Qinghen wanted to give it a try.
Yin Jiuxiao was just about to hear what he had to say next, and also wanted to know what Lin Qinghen was going to do next, but he saw this person's attention suddenly shifted to himself, and then suddenly changed the subject.
"Your clothes are dirty. I'll change them for you." Lin Qinghen came forward and helped him take off the outermost layer of his clothes. "Please extend your hand."
Yin Jiuxiao moved according to his request, his grey eyes still staring at Lin Qinghen.
His shadow had followed before, and he also knew that Yu Yinyin, his master, always wanted to take Lin Qinghen away.
If she really insisted, Yin Jiuxiao, with his current strength, would not be able to resist her.
Lin Qinghen can't leave.
While Yin Jiuxiao was working hard to improve his own strength, he was also using other methods to try to stay in the enemy's sight.
He is a person who will do anything to achieve his goals. In his two lifetimes, only Lin Qinghen can make him interested in this, no matter what the method is.
After changing his clothes, he took Lin Qinghen's sleeve.
"Qinghen, when I woke up today, the room was too quiet, which scared me a little," Yin Jiuxiao said in a low voice, "Can you please not go too far in the future? I don't know what to do now. As for the affairs of Beizhou, I will tell you everything you want to know. If you want something, I..."
"Okay."
Seeing him like this, Lin Qinghen's heart couldn't help but soften a little. When Yin Jiuxiao lowered his eyes, he looked pitiful, but he really fell for it.
"Now that I'm here, where can I go?"
Yin Jiuxiao: "Really?"
Lin Qinghen put the clothes he had changed aside, then turned his back and pulled out the two cans of soil he had prepared, and replied, "Really, really, I promise, I promise, okay?"
