Decaying World

Chapter 85 085 Experience 1
It took the fifteen people Lin Hui had called over more than half an hour to slowly roll a pot of pills into balls.

The pile of meatballs varied in size, some as large as glutinous rice balls and others as small as peanuts, which made him frown.

yard.

Lin Hui looked at the disciples of the sect who were lined up and had just finished making the Cloud Water Pill.

A group of people stared at him expectantly, clearly eager to know what the pill was used for.

"This is the Cloud and Water Pill, which can accelerate the body tempering process. Its effects can be combined with the medicines used in the three meridian martial arts you are practicing. But since this is the first time it has been made, who among you is willing to try its effects?"

Lin Hui spoke frankly.

"Master, may I ask if there are any side effects?"

Among the group, an older man with some wrinkles on his brow stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked.

"The only side effect is diarrhea. I'll feel weak for a couple of days," Lin Hui replied.

“Then I’ll do it!” the man said in a deep voice, picking up a pill and examining it. “This is one pill at a time, right?”

"Not bad. What's your name?" Lin Hui nodded approvingly. This first person to dare to respond to his call naturally deserved a generous reward.

"Disciple Xu Songnian, originally from the Black Dragon Claw lineage, has only recently switched to the Seven-Section Quick Sword." The man answered earnestly, then stuffed the pill into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

"It's a bit salty and spicy, but otherwise I don't really feel anything special," he gave his assessment seriously.

"It will take half an hour for the medicine to take effect, so please wait aside. Xu Songnian, right? If the medicine works as required, the Cloud Water Pills refined later will cover your body tempering medicine expenses for one month. Of course, if the medicine doesn't work, you can switch to the medicinal powder you used before," Lin Hui said with a smile.

"Thank you, Abbot!!" Xu Songnian was overjoyed.

This scene made the others somewhat restless.

The cost of body tempering medicine this month is not a small amount. Based on the original body tempering frequency of the Black Dragon Gate, the medicine is taken at least three times a month, and each dose costs 50,000. Three doses will save 150,000!
This was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for them, who came from ordinary backgrounds.

Immediately, a second person stepped forward and decided to try the drug.

This time it was a younger woman with pigtails. She had a decent appearance but a slightly naive air about her. Her skin was also quite dark, and her hands were rough, clearly from years of doing housework at home.

"Master, my name is Luo Qianshui! I'd like to give it a try too!"

The girl spoke as if she were shouting slogans; she didn't even look at the pills, grabbed a handful and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Take one!" Lin Hui reacted swiftly, his figure flashing as he knocked the extra pills out of the girl's hand, leaving only one, before returning to his original spot.

Because he was so fast, those around him only felt a gentle breeze. The abbot's figure flashed and blurred for a moment before solidifying again.

Then Luo Qianshui lost four pills from her hand, leaving only one, which she put into her mouth.

"Huh?!" Luo Qianshui was a little stunned and missed the food. She looked up at Lin Hui and then realized that she only needed to eat one.

"Not bad, kid." Lin Hui nodded in satisfaction. Although she was a bit reckless, she was still a good disciple. At least she was willing to rush in without a care in the world when something happened.

After Xu Songnian and Luo Qianshui, the others looked at each other, and then two more people came out to start testing the medicine.

No one else came out.

Lin Hui waited patiently.

Half an hour passed quickly, and apart from his face turning slightly red, Xu Songnian showed no abnormalities.

Luo Qianshui, on the other hand, was slightly sweating and somewhat excited, but had no other side effects.

The two quickly began practicing the martial arts they were good at.

Xu Songnian wields a seven-section fast sword, while Luo Qianshui wields a Qingfeng sword.

After three rounds of body tempering through cultivation, the two showed expressions of surprise.

"The effect is much easier than before, and I should be able to do body tempering seven or eight times a day!"

Xu Songnian spoke up.

"How many times a day did you temper your body before?" Lin Hui himself had a maximum of ten times a day, but he didn't know much about the others.

"Five times. Because I often make mistakes in applying force, I fail to temper my body. On average, I have to practice many times to succeed once," Xu Songnian replied.

"Then how do you feel you can increase the number of body tempering sessions?" Lin Hui continued to press.

"It feels like when I'm practicing swordplay, it's much easier now. It seems like I don't need as much mental and physical energy for a single practice session," Xu Songnian replied.

Lin Hui then asked Luo Qianshui about her feelings, and received similar answers.

After comparing the results with those of the other two, he finally confirmed that the Cloud Water Pill had been successfully refined.

To determine the efficacy of the Cloud Water Pill, Lin Hui distributed the first batch of over two hundred pills to the disciples of the three lineages at random.

He spent three days receiving a lot of feedback, all saying that the pill significantly increased the success rate of body tempering.

Overjoyed by the results, Lin Hui immediately announced that this pill would be the main body-tempering pill for Qingfeng Temple and would be included in the sect's heritage.

The subsequent refining was handled by Chen Meng, the pharmacist.

After finishing all that, Lin Hui threw himself into what he really wanted to do—refining aphrodisiac pills.
The difficulty of the Sanyang Powder and the Daolong Pill has been carefully tested, and they are much greater than the Yunshui Pill, which has no traps.

Just as he was quickly preparing the medicinal materials and getting ready to try the new prescription.

The Lin family also received the intelligence that had just been relayed back by the guards.

"What?! The second young master of the Wang family went to find Ah Hui?!" Lin Shunhe trembled upon hearing the news. He only had this one son. Although his second wife, Liu Shenglan, was about to give birth, it was still unclear whether it was a boy or a girl. If it was a girl, he would still only have one son.

Therefore, he usually paid close attention to Lin Hui.

"Yes, when I discovered it, I also felt something was wrong and rushed back to report immediately. Wang Yueheng arrived too quickly. I'm afraid not only us, but many of the major clans in the inner city also didn't have time to react."

A masked man dressed in a gray-white, misty color was reporting the situation to Lin Shunhe.

"However, when I caught up with him later, I found that Hui Shao and Wang Yueheng did not have any conflict. On the contrary, they got along well and reached some kind of cooperation."

"That's good," Lin Shunhe breathed a sigh of relief. "If something had really gone wrong, I wouldn't have been able to handle it."

Old Du behind him nodded slightly.

"Although the Wang family is not a powerful clan in the inner city, they have many connections in the outer city, making them difficult to deal with easily. Moreover, their influence is so great that we would probably find it difficult to deal with them with our own strength."

“Yes. I didn’t expect Ah Hui to have reached this level.” Lin Shunhe sighed. “It seems that although he has reached his limit, the influence he is showing now is enough to attract the attention of the inner city forces.”

“Since nothing has happened, there’s no need to worry too much. Master is about to fuse with the replica of the evil weapon, at which point he will directly possess a Void Power comparable to that of a high-ranking official. After establishing an outer city branch, the power you can mobilize will be far beyond what the outer city forces of the Wang family can match,” Elder Du said calmly.

"But what if someone from a higher level of the Wang family comes?" Lin Shunhe frowned.

"Then it's not an external matter anymore, it's something even more serious, and naturally, Lord Blackface will handle it. The Wang family is nothing to worry about." Old Master Du said calmly.

"Then I'm relieved." Lin Shunhe said this, hoping to judge from Elder Du's reaction whether the organization behind him could protect his family.

Mr. Du's answer did indeed put his mind at ease.

When will the replica of the evil weapon arrive?

"It will take about two more months. The journey is too long, so we need to be patient," Mr. Du replied.

"Let's do it as soon as possible."

Lin Shunhe never expected that his son would cause even more trouble than he had imagined. He had actually attracted the attention of those in power.

Fortunately, no conflict broke out between the two sides, otherwise I would have had to go to the inner city to find You Ying.
After dismissing his subordinates, Lin Shunhe walked alone along the corridor to the courtyard where Liu Shenglan was.

In the courtyard, sunlight filtered through the mist, casting long, columnar shadows.

Liu Shenglan was half-lying in the courtyard, under a large locust tree, on a rattan chair, covered with a white wool blanket, sleeping soundly with his face turned to the side.

There was a book of poems she was reading next to her, and it seemed she was still slowly reading it before falling asleep.

Lin Shunhe stepped forward and gently covered her with the blanket. He then bent down and kissed her forehead.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shenglan woke up and reached out to embrace him, offering a kiss.

Both of them moved extremely gently and skillfully, clearly indicating that this was not the first time they had done this.

Just as the two were being intimate, in a room on the other side of the courtyard.

Liu Wujun and Liu Xiao stood at the window, watching this scene quietly through the crack in the window.

The warm tranquility calmed Liu Xiao, who was still undergoing the test of divine sound.

"That's good. Perhaps Mother is right. This time, Uncle Lin and she really made the right choice." Liu Xiao said softly, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

“Perhaps, nothing in this world is static,” Liu Wujun replied. “That brat from the Wang family is causing trouble again. I just received news that he went to find our adopted younger brother, Lin Hui.”

"Does he want to die?" A cold killing intent flashed in Liu Xiao's eyes.

“I went to check it out beforehand through special channels. He was there looking for cooperation. It turned out fine. Although I arrived a little late, as long as he's not there to cause trouble, there's no need to pay him any attention,” Liu Wujun replied softly.

“That kid only knows how to imitate his sister, but he can’t grasp the essence of it. He’s a complete idiot with a fake smile. Why don’t you just cripple him and send him back to the inner city?” Liu Xiao said coldly. “Anyway, as long as he has a breath left, he can recover.”

"That was my original plan. If this kid dared to cause trouble, I would intercept and cripple him. But I didn't expect that not only would he not cause trouble, but he would also reach a cooperation agreement with Lin Hui. This time, Wang Yueheng's attitude was actually quite good," Liu Wujun said calmly. "He has improved somewhat compared to before."

"That's good. It doesn't matter whether Lin Hui lives or dies, but Uncle Lin will definitely be sad, and Uncle Lin's sadness will definitely affect Mother." Liu Xiao closed her eyes, turned and left.

"I'm going to practice."

"Okay, I'll stay outside and watch over you. Call me immediately if anything happens," Liu Wujun instructed.

"it is good."

Time passed slowly.

With the help of special effects, Lin Hui also successfully refined several batches of other aphrodisiac pills after consuming hundreds of thousands of coins worth of medicinal materials.

The combination of Daolong Pill, Sanyang Powder, and Quanjing Powder makes up a one-month supply.

After ensuring that he had enough pills to last him a long time, Lin Hui once again turned his gaze to the bloodstain.

Wild Wind Plains.

Lin Hui stood in the wind and snow, sword in hand, gazing at the vast gray wall-like fog in the distance.

The air was exceptionally clear today, and the seemingly endless, exaggerated gray walls of the foggy area were also clearly visible.

From a distance, through the snow dust, you could see a team preparing to enter the fog zone.

They were dressed in thick cotton-padded clothes and leather jackets, followed by oxcarts carrying loads of heavy goods.

One of the leaders seemed to be explaining something to someone.
