Early January.
Xinqu Town Qingfeng Sect Courtyard.
It has been more than ten days since everyone from the Qingfeng Sect came to Black Cloud.
In the evening, all the disciples who went to sea returned one after another and gathered here at Lin Hui to summarize the harvest during this period.
"The profit from this trip to sea was very good. I caught more than 100 sea pearls, and the third-class Sea fish weighed more than 10,000 kilograms. I also got a sea relic, although it is a very common Blue Sea Snail that can judge the direction of the wind. The overall income is about 600 to 8 million yuan." Su Yaping concluded.
"With Senior Su's strength, it is natural that the harvest will be huge. Our trip this time was purely a foil." Wang Hongshi said with a bitter smile.
"With such huge profits, you should be careful. Money is so attractive that it will definitely attract jealous people." Lin Hui reminded.
"Master, why don't you come with us? If you continue to stay there Martial Academy, how much money you have for a month is simply not enough." Xia Si suggested.
"No need." Lin Hui smiled, "As long as you are willing, you can make money at any time. The key is the ability and background to protect this income."
"You are right, so I have already gone to the corresponding mountain to worship. I also divided half of the money and gave it away." Wang Hongshi said solemnly.
"Very good, everything here is almost on track. The next step is to slowly move up. Martial Academy has a high ceiling and great potential for future development, but we can't rush it." Lin Hui has found out clearly about the Martial Academy's rising rank in the past few days.
Now he is only an assistant teacher, and he has been promoted to class teacher, then to chief class teacher, and then to deputy dean and dean.
When you reach the level of the general class teacher, the income of foreign research centers is very scary. One student's annual tuition is one million. And the general class teacher of the fifth college has a total of fifty or sixty students in the foreign research center. It all depends on how strong the students' assessment scores are.
In Black Cloud, the relationship between students and teachers actually extends to all walks of life, and has basically formed schools of different sizes.
"Our goal is to ensure that the income is self-sufficient, and then ensure the stability of the environment and concentrate on cultivation. Everything else is to serve this purpose." Lin Hui said.
He looked up at the misty night full moon in the sky.
"No matter where you are, we will get together every once in a while in the future. Qingfeng Sect will not add new members for the time being. We will only focus on the current sixty-six people."
"What Dao Lord means is that we hide behind the scenes? From an overt organization to a secret organization behind the scenes?" Su Yaping said solemnly. He recognized his identity very quickly, and he directly identified himself as a member of the Qingfeng Sect before he even learned the inherited martial arts.
"Yes. There are still too many complicated and redundant things on the surface, and they are too eye-catching. We might as well change them to behind the scenes." Lin Hui nodded.
"Then, operating expenses." Wang Hongshi hesitated.
"It is responsible for its own profits and losses. There is no organization address, no idle personnel, and no daily social interactions. It is just gatherings every once in a while, and the cost is very small. I will bear the responsibility." Lin Hui said with a smile.
"How is that possible? We are responsible. How dare you let Dao Lord spend money!?" Wang Hongshi said quickly.
The rest of the people also quickly echoed.
"Everyone, please remember that Qingfeng Sect's belonging and sincerity to our sect determine whether the Dharma Seal you obtained will be effective. So every once in a while, when everyone gets together, you need to show whether the Dharma Seal you have is still there." Lin Hui said.
"Yes! I will obey Dao Lord's order." Wang Hongshi said quickly.
The others followed suit.
"Then let's do it. We will gather at this time every year from now on." Lin Hui turned around. "If nothing happens, you can leave."
Everyone decided on the future gathering period and left one after another.
Lin Hui was left alone, standing in the yard with his eyes closed, thinking about what Precious Medicine was left in him.
Without the supply of alchemy from the forces, Black Emperor Pill was cut off while on the ship, and Blood Seal could only endure the evolution time. As before, one month was equivalent to eight months of super-fast progress, but it suddenly stopped.
Now it is back to the snail speed of one month or one month.
The huge gap caused by this made Lin Hui feel very uncomfortable.
"I have to increase my income as soon as possible and rebuild the chain of drug procurement and refining. I have the elixir here, and I can make the elixir myself. The main thing is income, channels, procurement, equipment, venues, etc. Otherwise, with the consumption of drugs such as Black Emperor Pill, my savings will not be able to support it for long."
Soon a simple but complete plan emerged in Lin Hui's mind.
He has the special alchemy effect of Harmonious Heart. It is actually very easy to make money.
"Special effect: Harmonious Heart (When refining elixir, your success rate will be increased by 30%.)"
This is a special effect that he evolved when he was refining the medicine. Now it can be of great use.
But he wants more than just making money.
Back in the room, Lin Hui sorted out the remaining Precious Medicine, as well as 14 Purple Cloud Grass plants, Spirit-Gathering Grass 21 plants, and the Medicine Garden plant over there at Maze Ruins was established. It will take at least five years to grow normally. With a harvest every five years, sixty plants can be obtained each time.
This speed is still the effect of Blood Seal's evolution, and it cost him a lot of Purple Cloud Grass. But now it seems
"Sure enough, growing your own is far better than buying and grabbing."
Sighing, Lin Hui no longer had hope in his own species.
After thinking for a while, he decided to continue evolving conceptual things like Dharma Seal. After evolving to the present, he found that only this kind of thing can move freely with it anytime, anywhere without any restrictions.
"Now that Dharma Seal has enhanced its strength, there is no point in continuing to strengthen this area. It will easily make the disciples have no ambition. It is better to evolve in other aspects, such as auxiliary abilities and long-distance contact secrets."
Although internal sound transmission is easy to use now, once it exceeds a certain distance, it will completely fail.
It would be really convenient if Qingfeng Sect could have an ultra-long-distance communication secret method for his own use.
After this aspect is settled, it's time to evolve Star Breath Sword Classic again.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, one year has passed since Lin Hui entered Martial Academy.
Typhoon Swordplay Body Tempering successfully entered the ninth level limit, and the special effect Microflash was also quietly obtained. Although Lin Hui didn't feel it at all, there seemed to be no difference between turning on Microflash and not turning on it.
For the time being, he couldn't discover the purpose of this special effect.
In addition to this, Qingfeng Sect's special contact secret method, or group special effect, Blood Seal has also evolved.
With the power of Wind Disaster as the connection, he named it Wind Chime.
Because every time the secret method is used, a translucent illusory Wind Chime will automatically be formed by internal force, with a crisp sound, hence the name.
After passing the secret method to all the cores, Lin Hui returned to the same boring and monotonous life as before Tuyue.
Teaching, practicing, buying medicine, refining elixirs every day, and so on.
With such repetition, a network belonging to the Qingfeng Sect gradually spread evenly around Xinqu Town.
Many disciples found their own paths and quickly integrated into the local area.
Everyone did not fully comply with Lin Hui's instructions and still actively contributed a small portion of their income every month as Qingfeng Sect's core operating expenses.
Over the past year, Lin Hui has gradually become familiar with and found the local Inner City drug purchasing channels, became familiar with the process, and gradually stabilized his life rhythm.
Typhoon Swordplay's Body Tempering breakthrough greatly lifted his mind, and a subtle colored light appeared between his eyebrows.
When everything was moving forward smoothly, an opportunity that Lin Hui had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived.

Taisu Martial Academy In the five-point hospital.
Lin Hui packed up the teaching documents, got up and left the office, walking along the corridor on the third floor.
Most of the colleagues and teachers who passed by him nodded slightly as a greeting to him.
During this year, Lin Hui became familiar with almost all the teachers in the hospital. After confirming that Black Cloud's Inner City was still normal, he decisively decided to start the next plan.
Walking along the corridor step by step, Lin Hui looked calm. He would only nod and smile slightly when he met his colleagues.
"Whether it is the Precious Medicine channel, the protection of my disciple's business, or the low-key stability I need for my practice, I need enough background power. I have the strength. The power needs to ensure that after I kill my opponent, I will not offend the larger power. These are all necessary."
"As for how to gain power, it's too slow to cultivate it yourself, so it's better to just borrow it."
As for how to borrow it.
Lin Hui looked down at the school field, where three young students were watching the other students demonstrate the standard Mist Cloud Seven Forms under the leadership of the head teacher.
These three students are all students with the strongest backgrounds in the five colleges.
Among the three people, two girls and one boy, they are about fifteen or sixteen years old. At this age, they don't even have internal strength. It is obvious that they either have extremely poor qualifications or are completely unmotivated and don't work hard.
"Dao Lord, the information is clear." Princess Shadow Hound Clan Li Yuanyuan quietly appeared behind Lin Hui and said as Wind Chime.
"Tell me about it." Lin Hui paused, as if looking at the scenery, stood by the fence on the third floor, and looked towards the school field.
"These three people are Xie Rongsheng, Fan Lingxi, and Zhu Fei. The three of them are from the Primal Blood Aristocrat family, and they are not very successful. Xie Rongsheng is very unmotivated, lazy, only likes to enjoy, has a stupid mind, and has average qualifications."
"Where are the other two?"
"Fan Lingxi was abandoned by his family because he was born with poor appearance and figure, had congenital deformities in his body that were difficult to repair, and had poor qualifications. He was left to fend for himself on the edge Martial Academy."
"Zhu Fei is a little different. It is said that in Moon Tower, he played too much and attracted many Primal Blood Families children to be jealous of him. They got into fights, seriously injured several people, and even had several abortions. The family couldn't stand the trouble, so they threw him here."
Li Yuanyuan is obviously a good at gathering information. From getting instructions to obtaining detailed information, it only took one month to complete it all.
"Very good. How is the information true?" Lin Hui asked via voice transmission.
"At least 60% fidelity." Li Yuanyuan said seriously.
She looked at Lin Hui's back, a little hesitant.
"Dao Lord, these three people feel like they are all abandoned people who cannot be supported. They bully other students at every turn, and their character is not very good. Isn't it a bit too casual for you to choose them? Especially Xie Rongsheng, he himself is not motivated, and no matter how much others put it in his mouth, he can't eat it?"
"To correct you, as long as you are a human being, there is no one who cannot make progress." A smile flashed in Lin Hui's eyes.
"The reason why he is not making progress now is because he has not encountered a big enough blow yet."
"You mean, we first create a blow, and then show up to save them?" Li Yuanyuan guessed.
"Why do we need redemption? It's enough to give them a little hope. What does it have to do with me whether we can save them or not?" Lin Hui said, "I just need them to be obedient."
"Disciple doesn't understand." Li Yuanyuan lowered his head.
"They were given up, and there must be a suppressed fire in their hearts that wants to rise. I just need to make them feel that they are the protagonist, the core of the story, and their strength and other things. If they didn't get it in the past, it's just that their destiny hasn't started to change yet."
Lin Hui paused and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"And now, I am that destiny."
These three people are the discarded children he cultivated who can be given up at any time. They will be kept when they are needed, and they will be pushed out and destroyed when they are not needed.
So all you need to do is contact the three of them secretly, without revealing your identity, and only let the three of them show a little bit of their strength, and then simply take advantage of the resources they have obtained.
It is actually very easy to do all this with the effect of the seal. The difference is that as long as you withdraw the seal when the opponent is not needed, you can instantly knock him down.
Of course, if one of the three people can suddenly wake up and work hard to become stronger, then it is not impossible to really take him into the family.
