Decaying World

Chapter 112 Reputation Part 112 (Thanks to the Alliance Leader Xie Shuizhongyue)

"What idea?! Stop laughing, it's making me want to hit you." Lin Hui felt a chill run down his spine.

“I have someone here who’s constantly being pressured to get married and be engaged. He’s thoroughly fed up, just like you. In my opinion, why don’t you two get together? You can pretend to get married to get by, and then once you’ve officially married, you can separate and deal with each other separately. What do you think?” Wang Yueheng said with a grin.

"Stop talking, let's have a match first."

Lin Hui kicked the stool away, stood up, and drew his sword.

"Heh, you think I'm afraid of you?! Last time I told you I was going easy on you, I still have my ultimate move to use!" Wang Yueheng said angrily, and then stood up.

"Go to Gale Plains." Lin Hui's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Wang Yueheng followed closely behind.

More than ten minutes later.

Lin Hui reappeared in the pavilion, sheathed his sword, sat down cross-legged, and poured himself some tea.

Behind her, Wang Yueheng, her face bruised and swollen, with one eye larger than the other, silently returned to the prayer mat and sat down.

The two were silent for a moment.

"I was doing this for your own good, and you still hit me?" Wang Yueheng said quietly.

"You mean well? Your expression is so cunning you can't even hide it." Lin Hui glanced at him.

"I was just afraid you wouldn't agree." Wang Yueheng gave him a resentful look. "That person's situation is a bit complicated. She and my sister are good friends, and she's been single for a long time. She's already fed up with all these matchmakers, but there are still so many of them."

"Given the situation, why did you make that face?" Lin Hui questioned.

"It's mainly because she's a bit older," Wang Yueheng said, gesturing with her hand to indicate that she was a little older.

"Are you sure it will work?" Lin Hui asked.

"Yes, absolutely! You're my good friend, and your older brother is Liu Wujun. I wouldn't dare to cheat you!" Wang Yueheng quickly replied.

"Let's give it a try later. It's really annoying to keep getting asked to marry someone." Lin Hui nodded. He could tell that the other party was hiding something, but no matter what they were hiding, as long as his strength improved rapidly, nothing would be a problem.

According to the other party, he guessed that she was probably a noble lady from the inner city, from an extraordinary family, who was also troubled by marriage. Thus, the two sides hit it off and could use each other to deal with such troubles.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't even mention this to anyone else. It's only because you're an upright person with a clean private life and are solely focused on martial arts that I'm willing to make this connection. That other person is the same way, similar to you, also focused solely on martial arts and uninterested in anything else," Wang Yueheng explained.

"Alright, let's arrange a place to meet later. If there are no problems, then it's settled." Lin Hui nodded. Anyway, it was just a title, and he didn't intend to curry favor with the other party. Seeing the amethyst's growth rate and his body tempering about to break through, his rapidly increasing strength gave him absolute confidence.

If he were to fight Li Chi of the Flying Stone Sect again now, he felt that Li Chi might not be able to withstand a hundred of his moves.

The Gale Sword Technique enhances not only speed, but also all aspects of strength, reaction, physical strength, and sword speed.

This comprehensive improvement results in a significant increase in absolute lethality. And, most importantly...

He had reached the sixth level of perfect internal energy, and his internal energy covered the sword blade, greatly increasing its destructive power by breaking through the surface.

Saying that Li Chi can last for a hundred moves is an overestimation.

He had just sparred with Wang Yueheng, and after a few tentative exchanges, he easily beat her into a pulp with the side of his sword, which was covered in internal energy.

This reaffirmed the fundamental position of who was the boss between the two.

"Alright, it's settled then!" Wang Yueheng stood up and said, "I'll schedule a time for you as soon as I get back, so don't renege on your promise then."

"Don't worry, it won't happen," Lin Hui said calmly.

After seeing Wang Yueheng off, he continued to train hard in the Gale Plain with the amethyst.

Meanwhile, inside Qingfeng Temple, the process of resettling and providing compensation to the members of the expedition team who died in the ruins began.

The large sums of money paid out in compensation also spread the reputation of Qingfeng Temple for its benevolence.

It should be noted that while other expeditions also received compensation, it was not as generous as this.

Lin Hui waved his hand and ordered everyone to receive double the amount. Anyway, he had plenty of money now and didn't care about the difference.

Whether it's the tuition fees paid by his disciples, the profits from various industries, or the share from the Hundred Flowers Sect, his current income has reached an astonishing nearly eight million a month. And this is just his pure personal income, after deducting sect expenses and the profits shared with other forces.

time flies.

Before we knew it, March had passed.

As spring arrives, the chirping of insects increases, the temperature gradually rises, and the farmland around the town begins to sprout and turn green.

There were also many more flocks of birds flying overhead than before.

Lin Hui goes out to practice swordsmanship every day and can see people entering and leaving the temples with strange child statues, not knowing whether they are worshipping or something else.

He sent people to investigate briefly and learned that these people were worshipping a mist god named Bai Tong.

This white statue was discovered in a ruin in the foggy area. Later, someone accidentally discovered that if you worship it, you will receive good luck to a certain extent, so it gradually became a popular place of worship.

However, this kind of incense offering is rather unstable; people only come to worship when they are down on their luck and need a change of fortune.

The many White Boy Temples surrounding the town are remnants from a specific period.

At that time, the outer city was abandoned, and everyone, in despair, tried everything they could to save themselves.
Now in mid-April, Lin Hui has used up all his share of amethyst and successfully broken through to the seventh rank of Body Tempering with the Gale Sword Technique. The special effects of the Gale Sword Technique are finally beginning to show their extraordinary nature.

Wild Wind Plains.

Lin Hui leaned against the hill, holding his sword in both hands, carefully sensing the changes occurring on his body.

The special effect that can only be obtained after reaching the ninth rank, the wind surrounding the Gale Sword Technique, has already begun to show its initial signs at this point.

A wisp of invisible, transparent wind surrounded him, forming a transparent protective layer.

'It's not just about protection; I can clearly sense any unusual movement from any direction. As long as I activate the special effect, any attack aimed at me will automatically react at the level of the surrounding wind, reminding me to take precautions in advance,' Lin Hui summarized in his mind.

'and'

He raised his sword and gently stabbed it into his other palm.

Unconsciously, the tip of the sword was strangely tilted by a force, grazing the edge of the palm before falling into the ground and becoming stuck upside down.

"This is automatic force deflection. The effect is good, and it should be very useful against ranged attacks. I just don't know how strong it is at its limit. I'll try it out again after I reach the ninth rank and get the full version of the special effects."

Stopping the test, Lin Hui activated the Blood Seal and checked the remaining evolution time.

'7 years and 7 months.'

It's a pity there are no more Ganoderma lucidum. The idea of ​​going to Wanyao Manor again came to mind once more.

Lin Hui had previously asked Wang Yueheng to help him search, but there has been no news since, and he has no idea what's going on.

This guy talks a big game, but moves incredibly slowly.

None of those aphrodisiacs can compare to the effects of Ganoderma lucidum.

After finishing his sword practice, he leisurely returned to the Lin residence to spend time with his family, hugged Lin Xiaoliu who was crawling around everywhere, and was about to return to Qingfeng Temple to cultivate when his father, Lin Shunhe, suddenly called him back.

"By the way, Ah Hui, you're not getting any younger now. I have a business partner whose daughter is gentle, generous, understanding, and beautiful. She's also teaching at the academy. How about you arrange a time for them to meet?"

"I'm not in the mood for that right now," Lin Hui said speechlessly. Here we go again; this is the fourth time this month. "Besides, does our outer city even have an academy?"

"Yes, I asked you before if you wanted to go, and you said no, you absolutely refused. That place is quite expensive, and most families can't afford it," Dad nodded.

"What's the point of introducing a teacher to someone who practices martial arts? We have absolutely no topics to discuss," Lin Hui said again.

“Then wouldn’t that mean we can teach our children at home after we have kids?” Lin Shunhe said matter-of-factly.

"."

"Don't worry about it. You're taking so much medicine and you don't have a woman by your side. A lot of people are saying that you like men," Lin Shunhe said helplessly.

"Who's spreading the word?" Lin Hui gripped the hilt of his sword.

"There are too many people spreading rumors." Lin Shunhe glared at him. "You're unwilling to do this and unwilling to do that, but sooner or later you'll have to carry on the family line and have a child. Your mother and I only have you as our only son."

"No rush, it'll happen sooner or later. I just don't have the mind for it right now," Lin Hui said, trying to bluff his way out of the situation.

Lin Shunhe wanted to say something, but in a flash, the person was gone.

"Brother. Brother"

Lin Xiaoliu, lying on the ground, was biting on a rubber pacifier and crying. When she realized that Lin Hui was no longer in sight, she immediately pouted and was about to cry.

Startled, Lin Shunhe quickly went over and picked him up to comfort him.

On the other side, after leaving the Lin residence, Lin Hui looked up at the sky.

The hazy fog obscured the bright sunlight overhead.

"The Purple Iris Crystal is difficult to obtain for now. We'll try again at the Myriad Medicines Manor, and then check the inner city to see if we can find any medicine similar to the Spirit-Nourishing Mushroom."

Relying on others is ultimately too slow.

Although he had been to the inner city a few times, he still had a strong sense of curiosity about it.

After all, he only ever stayed in the outer ring area and never went into the legendary core area, the Moon Tower area.

He quickly returned to Qingfeng Temple, organized the information, and issued a high-level mission: to go to Wanyao Manor to collect as many Lingzhi mushrooms as possible.

Then he collected information about the inner city, unfolded the map of the outer ring area near the inner city that the Wang family had replicated, and determined his destination.

His purpose in entering the inner city this time was very clear: to find possible alternatives to the Ganoderma lucidum through channels outside the Wang family.

Wang Yueheng won't give me the prescriptions for the pills. If I can find the prescriptions myself, diversify the ingredients, and find a precious medicine like the Spirit Mushroom, the progress will probably be much faster.

To be honest, he felt that Wang Yueheng was stringing him along, since he could only rely on the Wang family for supplies of pills in the inner city.

This feeling had been there since the last time I refused to sell the pill formula. That's why this operation in the inner city came about.

It's only been a short time since the map was organized.

News came from Wang Yueheng's side that the woman in the same situation as him had agreed to meet him the day after tomorrow, and the location would be Jixiangju, an inner city restaurant near the South Ninth Gate, to accommodate him.
