"That's about enough... With so much Wind Energy as cover, the Heaven Seed are very difficult to detect."

In fact, the Heaven Seed itself is extremely well concealed; it is directly integrated into the spatial structure.

Unless a powerful being forcibly cuts off a core space and seals it separately, the Heaven Seed can even continuously relocate.

"So, where should I integrate into?" Lin Hui gazed at the Heaven Seed, pondering for a moment.

"Black Tree Abyss is too far away. Although the Wind Energy spreads more, it's difficult to control at all times. It's better to blend in from the surrounding area. The Palace Master of the Guangxin Hall hasn't shown up yet. Finding a secluded place shouldn't be a problem."

His only worry was actually the temple master.

Whether powerful figures at the level of the Palace Master and Deputy Palace Master can discover Heaven Seed is an unknown.

However, getting to this point is a gamble. If they are discovered, the only way to survive is for the other party to completely destroy the space where the Heaven Seed are fused.

"Wait a minute. In that case, why don't I directly integrate the Heaven Seed into the most important spatial area? That way, even if it's discovered, the other party will be hesitant to act and won't dare to make a full-scale attack." Lin Hui's mind raced.

Following this line of thought, his gaze suddenly drifted slowly toward the most important thing in this space—the alchemy furnace.

The entire Guangxin Hall has only three alchemy furnaces. Each furnace requires the labor of six thousand people, and even Hongyu Chun only oversees one thousand of them. If the Heaven Seed were to be integrated into the furnace...

Lin Hui's eyes flashed, and his figure vanished instantly, appearing outside the courtyard.

Before me was a patch of white jade-colored spots on the surface of the alchemy furnace.

He knew without a doubt that the alchemy furnace must have countless top-tier protective measures that he was completely unaware of, so... directly targeting the furnace might cause problems.

So

He stretched out his hand, letting the Heaven Seed fly out of his palm and quietly merge into the air near the alchemy furnace.

After staying in place and waiting for a while, Lin Hui realized that he could not detect the location of the Heaven Seed, so he returned to the courtyard to sense the subsequent self-generating changes of the Heaven Seed.

"After the fusion of the Heaven Seed, it has a rapid promoting effect on the surrounding world. This area is full of fellow disciples of the Guangxin Hall. I have already grasped the life lines of most of them, only the six guardians of the core, including Hongyu Chun, are stuck at the position of eight life lines."

Lin Hui wasn't incapable of completing it directly, but at this level and realm, he worried that the other party would notice the moment he finished. So he temporarily stopped.

Now that the Heavenly Heaven Seed have merged, the size of the control range becomes the core key.

Therefore, he carefully sensed and observed, waiting for the Heaven Seed to undergo further changes.

Time passed slowly.

As the occasional glimpse of people passing by on the road outside faded into the distance, the Heaven Seed began to slowly grow many tiny tongues.

These tongues grew longer and longer, resembling countless tiny roots.

Numerous roots, resembling cracks, spread outwards and deeply penetrated the Four Faces space.

Lin Hui just watched, watching the roots of the Heaven Seed grow longer and longer, denser and more numerous.

An hour later, it covered more than 100,000 cubic kilometers in the surrounding area and was still expanding rapidly.

Unbeknownst to anyone, strong alchemy fluctuations were constantly emanating from inside the alchemy furnace, and this slight diffusion was easily concealed and suppressed. Invisible roots spread rapidly along the space, passing over the many fellow disciples still on the furnace, passing over the void, passing over the disciples processing various materials, and passing over the alchemy guardians who occasionally wandered slowly to supervise.

The quality of the Blood Seal's evolution is indeed impressive; not a single one of them noticed it.

The process only gradually stopped when the tentacles of the Heaven Seed completely covered the entire alchemy furnace and extended outwards for millions of kilometers, forming a huge sphere.

Heaven Seed the Wind Energy was completely stable, Lin Hui didn't rush to accelerate its spread. Instead, he waited in his courtyard.

The temple master's face is not visible, but the deputy temple master is likely to patrol, so whether it is safe enough still needs to be verified later.

After finishing all this, Lin Hui acted as if it had nothing to do with him, continuing to process materials and relax through his daily practice.

The number of Star Butterfly Fish Eye in his hands increased with each exchange among the people on Xiling Ghost's side, eventually reaching as many as six hundred.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past five years, Lin Hui has done nothing but wait. As he gradually integrates into the lives of the Fusion Faction, he has also become more and more patient.

As Wind Energy conversion increases, the Wind Energy on both sides of the Guangxin Hall and Black Tree Abyss is finally starting to attract the attention of experts from the Thunder King Sect. News has already spread that some are taking the initiative to refine and collect Wind Energy for research.

They named Wind Energy "Wind Disaster Alienation Energy," but Lin Hui remained unmoved, still waiting.

He had already obtained definite information: in two years, the Deputy Hall Master of the Guangxin Hall, True Man Feather Blood, would conduct a routine inspection.

Therefore, once he passes this hurdle, he can confidently and boldly expand the Heaven Seed.

In theory, the control range of Heaven Seed is divided according to the proportion of the area that the cultivator can control. The larger the area controlled, the stronger the feedback gained.

Therefore, although the Heaven Seed now covers the huge alchemy furnace, Lin Hui cannot actually control the furnace, so he cannot begin cultivating the Sky -Sky-Piercing Void Absorption Seal.

However, if even the deputy hall master cannot detect the Heaven Seed, then Lin Hui intends to take real action.

In any case, nowadays, the only people who pose a slight threat around the alchemy furnace in the Guangxin Hall are a few alchemy guardians.

He didn't know what would happen if he mastered all the lifelines of a master of Colloidal Dissociation.

But it's okay... the spread of Wind Energy will solve everything for him.

We'll randomly select a target to test it out. We'll use Wind Energy as an internal ally and the lifeline as an external attack, and see how a master of Colloidal Dissociation can resist it.

Just as Lin Hui was waiting patiently, Tao Zheng sent another contact request.

"Brother Lin, do you know that Dinisha is in trouble?" Tao Zheng's tone was full of sighs.

"I've been focusing on my cultivation and processing materials lately, I haven't been paying attention to this. What happened?" Lin Hui had actually had a premonition that Dinisha might be in trouble, and now... it had indeed come true.

"Her potential was damaged. During her recovery, she ignored all advice and rushed out to intercept her enemy. Although she completely mutated her enemy into a monster, she herself was also damaged by the power of the enemy's self-destruction. Now her strength is greatly diminished, and it is said that she has been kicked out of the core disciples." Tao Zheng replied. "..." Lin Hui was speechless.

"Recent rumors say she's been trying to borrow resources from everyone, hoping to return to her peak. If she comes to you, remember not to lend her any. If you lend her anything now, you'll never get it back."

Tao Zheng sighed, "Over the years, through our interactions, he's gradually revealed his true nature. He's not a bad person, just a bit timid and overly cautious." "Yes, I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Brother Tao," Lin Hui replied.

"Brother Lin, well... recently the friction between our sect and Myriad Stars Tower has started to escalate again, and we might have to fight again. You're lucky you're in the Guangxin Hall, you don't have to go to the battlefield, but we... might have to ask you for a discount on the Calamity-Defying Pills then." Tao Zheng said in a low voice.

"To be honest, Brother Tao, I've been here for over ten years, and I'm still dealing with medicinal herbs. I haven't even seen a hint of alchemy," Lin Hui sighed. "It's only just begun. No rush, no rush," Tao Zheng comforted him. "It'll be at least a hundred or two hundred years. There's still plenty of time. There's no need to rush."

The two chatted for a few more minutes about their experiences in cultivation before finally breaking off the call.

No sooner had contact been lost than Dinisha sent a contact request.

Lin Hui sensed the rapidly flashing mental energy of Dinisha on the other end of the line. He deliberately waited a while before accepting the request.

"Do you have any energy? Lend me a hundred! I'll definitely pay you back double later!" Dinisha's urgent voice came from the other end.

one hundred??

Good heavens, you can only get one energy point a month, but this guy is asking for a hundred months' worth, which is more than eight years' worth of Lin Hui's income.

Although vital energy is of little use to Lin Hui, it is very valuable because it can be exchanged for various items with other members of the Fusion Faction.

Seeing that Lin Hui hadn't replied for a long time, Dinisha asked again urgently.

"What? You look down on me now that I'm at my lowest point? You think I'll never be able to rise again?!"

Lin Hui narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Senior Sister, why do you say that? I'm just a lowly disciple who processes medicinal herbs, how could I dare look down on you? It's just that one hundred months' worth of vital energy is too much for me. Besides, empty words are meaningless; what do you have to offer as a guarantee that you'll repay me in the future?"

"Alright, you're right. Now let me tell you, this is a gamble. I can't offer you anything else as a guarantee. If you trust me, lend me the money, and I'll not only pay you back double, but you'll also gain my friendship," Dinisha said in a deep voice.

"That's not enough." Lin Hui shook his head slightly.

"Great! Great!!" Dinisha's voice suddenly rose in volume.

"Senior sister, don't be in such a hurry. Do you have any Star Butterfly Fish Eye? I want those; I can use them as the price for our exchange," Lin Hui interrupted her. "Also, I have some secret hand seal techniques that can lend you a hand."

"... Star Butterfly Fish Eye? Those things are worthless! You..." Now it was their turn to be astonished.

"I need a rather large quantity," Lin Hui said calmly.

There was no response from the communication certificate provider for a long time.

Several minutes later, Dinisha's solemn promise was finally made.

"Good! Very good! I'll remember you. Star Butterfly Fish Eye, right? I'll get it for you. When and where will we trade?"

"How much can you get, senior sister? The sooner the better."

"The Jade Brilliance Hall has quite a few of these; they're mainly for decoration. I'll take a look. With my current status as a core disciple, I can buy them directly from the treasury at a low price. Is a thousand enough?" Dinisha asked.

"... Enough! That's enough!" Lin Hui was slightly taken aback. Was this the treatment offered by the Jade Brilliance Hall?

Unfortunately, if he weren't worried about his background being exposed, he would have liked to enter the Jade Brilliance Hall as well.

"Alright! This time, I'll accept your favor! I'll come to your Guangxin Hall tomorrow, remember to prepare what I need."

With a snap, Dinisha disconnected, leaving Lin Hui with mixed feelings.

Actually, he agreed to Dinisha's request partly because of the Star Butterfly Fish Eye, and partly because he wanted to spread Wind Energy to the Jade Brilliance Hall.

The more Wind Energy spreads, the stronger the power he can mobilize in battle.

This is actually the same principle as a secondary calamity. However, its key weakness is that its own strength is too weak. If it continues to develop like this, perhaps tens of thousands of years later, it will also be able to develop into a small secondary calamity.

But this is not what he wanted.

Therefore, his current goal is to directly transform the entire Thunder King Sect into Wind Energy sect.

Thus, the moment the Thunder King Sect was completely dominated by Wind Energy, he could instantly break through to the next energy level with the help of the Heaven Seed, and might even climb to a higher level with the help of many high-level experts in the sect.
