Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Hui looked at the three evolutionary branches below his field of vision.
"Hell-Shocking Wind Sword is polluting and can easily attract extra attention beyond my level. Not suitable.
Arcane Wind Element Sword The main range of damage is huge, and the cost is huge. The key is that it is difficult to sit still for so long in a windy place. Here you have to get up at night to find shelter to isolate the fog, and there are too many variables in thirteen days."
Finally he set his sights on Typhoon Swordplay.
This is the only one that is most suitable, clean and pollution-free, and powerful in environmental protection. The most important thing is that the conditions for evolution are simple.
It only takes two seven years, that is, fourteen years.
"I have a medicine combination that can shorten the time to a quarter. Add in the remaining thirteen strains of Spirit-Gathering Grass, and each plant will reduce the time by three months, which is more than three years. In total, for fourteen years, take Spirit-Gathering Grass first, reduce it by more than three years, and then slowly take the medicine combination. All evolution should be completed within three years."
"This is the limit, we can't shorten it any longer..." Lin Hui sighed and turned around to go back.
Suddenly, his body stiffened and he stood still.
Behind him, on the right side of the hill, at some point stood a quiet man in a goat's silver mask.
The other person has a similar build to him, wears a long knife on his waist, and wears a black leather windbreaker, revealing his strong chest muscles, and a bunch of golden chest hair fluttering in the wind, like a golden red scarf.
"Friend, have I disturbed you?" the goat-masked man said softly, "I happened to pass by here and heard you sigh, so I became curious and stopped to see what the reason was."
"This reason is far-fetched." Lin Hui said calmly.
"I'm just looking for an excuse, just listen to it." Goat Mask smiled, with a hearty voice. He seemed to be a young man.
"Your Excellency is looking for me, but something is wrong?" Lin Hui looked at the other party, as if he had guessed the other party's intention.
"Let me introduce, I, Fang Tiancheng, come from Inner City Fang Family. Fang Family is a powerful clan within the government. Many members of the clan hold important positions in the government." Goat Mask introduced.
"So, Brother Fang also came to me for cooperation?" Lin Hui asked.
"Exactly. However, now it seems that it is a little late." Fang Tiancheng smiled, not disappointed, but took off the mask, revealing a sunny and handsome face.
"You don't seem to care at all?" Lin Hui was a little curious.
"Yeah, it's the family that's not cooperating to the point of loss. What does it have to do with me personally? Anyway, I'm getting a fixed benefit fee for this trip." Fang Tiancheng said with a smile.
"That's right... it's better for you Inner City people, you don't have to worry about anything, you don't have to worry every day..." Lin Hui said.
"What are you talking about?" Fang Tiancheng was speechless, "There's something wrong with your persecuted state of mind. Outer City Although it's a bit dangerous, it's not as exaggerated as you said, right?"
"Mist Zone Monsters, Mist at night, disappearances every year... Isn't this dangerous enough?" Lin Hui laughed.
"Have you seen it with your own eyes?" Fang Tiancheng asked.
"..." This question made Lin Hui himself stunned.
Seeing this, Fang Tiancheng continued, "I think you have practiced hard and are out of touch with ordinary people's lives. If Outer City is really so dangerous, how did you grow so big? How did the people around you, friends, and companions grow so big for so many years?"
"..." This question really made Lin Hui stuck.
"Guanzhu Lin, Outer City people's lives, you don't actually understand. Maybe you once did, but you are no longer the same as you were before." Fang Tiancheng replied. "However, although the agreement cannot be signed, you can try private cooperation. Guanzhu Lin's skills are indeed outstanding."
"What kind of cooperation method?" Lin Hui then directly identified Blood Seal and chose the evolution of Typhoon Swordplay. The writing disappeared for a moment, and then he mainly looked at Fang Tiancheng.
"It's very simple..." Fang Tiancheng quickly described the next plan that was much worse than the one given by Wang Yueheng.
Lin Hui has no objection. To him, money is just a number, as long as he can buy enough medicine. Now that his father is making money, their family is making money every day, so he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
After confirming the new cooperation model with this Fang Tiancheng, Lin Hui kept thinking back in his mind what this person said when they first met.
When he returned to the mansion, he stayed behind closed doors and ate all the Spirit-Gathering Grass one by one. Apart from eating, drinking and defecating, he kept in seclusion to practice his internal strength and gnawed on the Spirit-Gathering Grass.
For two consecutive weeks, Lin Hui didn't go out even once. He ate all the Spirit-Gathering Grass until he felt like vomiting when he saw Spirit-Gathering Grass.
But the benefits have also emerged.
Fourteen years Typhoon Swordplay was reduced to ten years and five months at the beginning.
Then Lin Hui started taking the medicine regularly every day.
While taking the medicine, he can basically move around freely.
Now that there is no imminent danger approaching, the opponents are also very sensible, and they have become collaborators.
Qingfeng Temple officially has the indicator to send people into Inner City.
Lin Hui simply took advantage of the break to prepare for the celebration and went home first to visit his mother and father, Second Mother.
Then Body Tempering finished cultivating his inner strength, and he recalled what Fang Tiancheng said before. He still couldn't feel at ease in his heart.
So, he left Qingfeng Temple, and even left Xinyu Town, and walked aimlessly along the road away from the town.
From time to time, fast galloping express trains pass by on the road, and their wheels grind out new traces on the slowly accumulating thick snow.
On both sides of the avenue, wooden houses with small courtyards passed by him one after another.
In these yards, you can hear the sound of brooms sweeping snow from time to time.
Unknowingly, Lin Hui came to the tall fog wall again.
There was a group of exhausted caravans in front of him, slowly driving out of the fog and passing slowly on his right.
Lin Hui was watching them and was still guessing which force they belonged to, when suddenly more than a dozen men in black vests wearing melon-skin hats rushed out of a courtyard on one side of the avenue.
These men skillfully rushed to the side of the caravan, helped up some obviously injured members, and rushed towards the yard.
They began to treat the injuries, and then the people from the caravan took out some of the goods to trade off the price.
Soon, the delivered goods were transferred to the men in black vests in the small courtyard.
Both parties hand over the money and deliver the goods, and their proficiency has obviously been that they have done this many times.
This action attracted not only Lin Hui, but also several other passers-by to stop and watch this scene.
One of them got closer and couldn't help but sigh when he saw the fresh look on Lin Hui's face.
"You are also here to wait for your family and friends?"
"..." Lin Hui didn't reply, just glanced at him.
The old man seemed to have figured out the specific plot by himself and sighed again.
"This Mist Zone caravan, although the road is already a very mature route, still suffered a lot of casualties. My eldest son died in the middle of the group... Now Second Elder's third son continues to work in this business. I don't know when I will be relieved..."
"Why don't you find another job?" Lin Hui was silent for a while and then asked.
"What to change? These days, every job has risks. It's better to do the job we are most familiar with and experienced. At least this job can last for a year." The old man smiled to himself, took out a dry cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a puff, blowing out a puff of smoke.
"My family originally farmed, but because we couldn't work at night and it got dark, we had to leave time to go back, otherwise it would be too dangerous at night. So the harvest was not high all year round. As a result, my wife suddenly fell ill one day and had no money to go to the doctor, so he left in just a few days.
From then on, my two sons and I understood that this person doesn't just want to live, he also has to make money! He also has to live like a human being!"
"Outer City, even if you go out, you can't go very far. When it gets dark, you have to calculate the time to go back. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous to be dragged outside for the night." He said softly.
"If you are unlucky and encounter a windy situation and spend the night outside, once the wind blows away a little of the fur covering your body, even Jade Talisman will be of no use. The person will be gone in a swish." The old man waved his hands, trying to describe the fast movement.
"When I went on a business trip for the first time, I stayed overnight at Mist Zone. I saw with my own eyes that a veteran in the team was blown open by the wind. I didn't notice it, but..."
The old man was talking nonchalantly, and it seemed that Lin Hui was very interested in listening quietly like this, so he kept talking, as if he wanted to end the chatterbox he had accumulated for many years at once.
Lin Hui listened to him quietly without interrupting.
Inexplicably, he felt as if he somewhat understood the way to survive for ordinary people who had the least sense of existence in this world.
They are like ants, taking risks as much as possible to make money and earn their own living space in the only safe time.
If they are like this, what about themselves?
He was suddenly confused. After awakening his memories of his previous life, he had been forced to move forward by a huge sense of crisis.
But now, because of the improvement in strength, the once strong sense of crisis has slowly faded and become weaker.
The disappearance case will never be traced to him. Dad is also doing well. He is also connected to Inner City. Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
But are you really happy?
Is this kind of life really what you want?
For a moment, Lin Hui felt confused as if he had lost his goal.
He stared at the caravan, and after removing the goods and wounded, he quickly took over the new truck that was transported from the small courtyard, turned around, slowly approached Mist Zone, and embarked on the return journey.
"Perhaps it's time to clarify the matter of Jade Talisman. Then use the Invocation quota to train some of our own people and stabilize the situation. Let's go to Inner City to have a look..."
Compared with the vast Inner City, Outer City is like a gray area, a buffer zone between Mist Zone.
"After reading what I want to see, maybe I will quietly find a place I like, marry a wife, have a child, and then live quietly and wait for old age. Maybe one day, I will be like this old man, standing at the entrance of Mist Zone, waiting for my child to come home safely."
Lin Hui had complicated thoughts in his heart. Inexplicably, he looked up at the sky filled with snowflakes.
The gray sky was also blown by some invisible cold wind, blowing the snowflakes into various diagonal lines and falling down.
Staring at the cold wind blowing the snowflakes, even though I couldn't see it, Lin Hui seemed to have a strange feeling.
He seemed to understand a certain nature of the wind. It was just like what the elder brother said about his family's fate: it was impermanent, disorderly, and unpredictable.
"Did the snow bring the wind, or did the wind bring the snow?"
Lin Hui gently caught a piece of snow and watched it melt in the palm of his hand.
At this moment, a line of writing appeared inexplicably below his field of vision.
"Tip: Because your understanding of the characteristics of the wind of natural disaster has been improved, the progress of Typhoon Swordplay has been shortened by one month."
"!!?" Lin Hui was startled.
Can the evolution progress be shortened like this??
