Chapter 27 You've gotten stronger again?
Lin Er returned to the forest where he practiced swordsmanship. He took out the Moonlight Sword, cast a spell, and the Moonlight Sword floated into the air.
With his control, the plane flew freely, and in the blink of an eye, a white light shot out twenty or thirty meters.
Lin Er felt that his control had not weakened and continued to drive the Moonlight Sword to fly further away. Under his gaze, the Moonlight Sword had flown fifty meters away, nearly sixty meters away.
Only then did he begin to feel the strain.
After several more tests, it was finally determined that the Moonlight Sword's attack range was within a radius of sixty meters.
This is a significant improvement over the previous version, reaching the range of a short bow. In the future, we won't be so afraid of ranged attacks anymore. Of course, we still need to avoid ultra-long-range attacks.
Lin Er's perception has also increased by several meters, now reaching a radius of twenty meters, with the perception becoming stronger the closer one gets.
When he wields his flying sword, if the sword is within his perception range, both its lethality and controllability are greatly enhanced.
If the attack is outside the range of perception, its effectiveness is significantly reduced.
This means he will have to prepare two attack plans, one for close-range attacks and one for long-range attacks.
Lin Er tried again to see if he could control two flying swords at the same time, but found that he couldn't and had to give up.
After testing his flying sword technique, he also tried his wind manipulation and protective techniques, both of which were strengthened as his cultivation level increased.
In particular, the protective spell will envelop the user in a golden light when cast, automatically blocking any external or magical attacks and ensuring that the user will not be harmed.
During his training these past few days, Lin Er learned about a spell called "Mage Shield," which creates a visible, transparent magical shield when cast, somewhat similar to a protective spell.
He can conveniently present himself as a mage, allowing protective spells to masquerade as a mage's shield.
After fully comprehending his magic, Lin Er did not linger in the forest and turned back to Blackrock City.
As he stepped into Blackrock City, heading back to the Broken Sword Tavern, he heard someone calling his name from afar; the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Lin Er turned his head and saw a man in a pharmacist's robe jogging towards him. He had been running all the way and was panting heavily when he arrived in front of him.
It turned out to be Carlyle.
After parting ways with him that day, Lin Er received another sum of money from Yin Dun's family and was not short of money for the time being, so he stopped dealing in the business of selling the Spring Dew and focused on cultivation.
Unbeknownst to Lin Er, Carlisle had been trying to concoct the Rejuvenating Dew according to the notes ever since their parting that day, but without success. He tried again and again, but still failed.
Carlisle finally realized that he could not easily concoct this healing potion, because Lin Er had left in a hurry and he did not know his contact information or address, so he waited at home for Lin Er to come to his door.
More than a week has passed, and there's still no news.
Carlisle was extremely anxious, fearing that Lin Er was collaborating with other pharmacists, and sent someone to find him.
This morning, someone saw Lin'er leaving the city. Upon receiving this news, Carlisle hurriedly waited at the city gate.
Lin Er finally understood the whole story after hearing Carlisle's flustered explanation.
Carlisle quickly said, "Mr. Lin'er, please cooperate with me. I only need a profit of 2 square coins. What do you think?"
Lin Er replied calmly, "I'm not short of money for the time being."
Carlisle's expression changed, and he became even more anxious. He gritted his teeth and said, "I only want 1 unit of currency as profit. Please cooperate with me."
Lin Er shook his head and explained, "I'm not trying to lower your price. I wanted to sell potions before because I didn't have any money, but now that I have some, I don't want to spend time making potions for the time being."
In his view, money was merely an external possession, and besides, having enough gold and silver was sufficient. His main focus should be on cultivation and improving his spiritual level.
Carlisle was somewhat taken aback by this. After a moment of thought, he said, "Mr. Lin'er, you must be an adventurer, right?"
Lin Er nodded, somewhat puzzled as to why Carlisle was asking this.
Carlisle continued, "If I may ask, how much liquid capital do you currently have, and how much real estate do you own in Blackrock City?"
Lin Er replied, "I still have about a hundred coins, but I don't own any real estate in Blackrock City."
Upon hearing this, Carlisle made up his mind and said, "Mr. Lin'er, please forgive my rudeness, but a hundred or so coins can only buy a set of ordinary armor at most, not even a magical weapon."
Even if you don't care about houses and don't need to buy property in Blackrock City, you should still buy one or two suitable magical equipment.
"To be honest, your cheap equipment is not worthy of your superb alchemy skills."
Lin Er glanced at his clothes, which were indeed quite cheap. He hadn't bought any new clothes yet, and his equipment was very ordinary, offering virtually no defense.
He looked up at Carlisle, who had already raised his head, full of confidence.
Lin Er suspected that he was being manipulated by PUA.
However, what he said wasn't without merit. One shouldn't only focus on cultivation items; useful magical equipment should naturally be used whenever possible.
At this point, Carlisle pressed his advantage, saying, "Mr. Lin'er, you only need to spend a little time to obtain a set of magnificent magical equipment, so why waste your talent?"
Lin Er was finally persuaded and said, "Okay, I agree to cooperate with you. As for 9 Fang coins, it's still too expensive. According to the original request, I only want 7 Fang coins."
Carlisle was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Lin, you are truly a kind-hearted person."
Lin Er waved his hand and said, "I also have a request. You need to provide the materials and tools, how about it?"
Carlisle agreed without hesitation. He was just thinking about how to get Lin Er to refine medicine at his home so he could learn by stealing his skills.
Unexpectedly, Lin Er came to us of his own accord.
Carlisle believed that even if he couldn't learn it now, as long as he diligently studied it, if a month wasn't enough, he could learn it in a year, and if a year wasn't enough, he could learn it in ten years. Sooner or later, he would be able to learn this skill from Lin Er.
Little did Carlyle know that this learning experience would last a lifetime.
……
After discussing the relevant matters with Carlisle, Lin Er signed a business contract.
Carlisle immediately took out the prepared wild orchid and assisted him like an apprentice.
Seeing how dedicated he was, Lin Er handed over the grinding work to him as well, and focused on refining the Rejuvenating Dew himself.
Two hours later, a pot of Rejuvenating Dew was successfully made.
The two divided the contents into twenty bottles using glass jars. According to the contract, Carlisle was to pay Liner 140 francs.
Carlisle said somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Lin, my shop is short of working capital. Can you give me three days' grace so I can sell these healing potions first?"
He has been refining wild orchids every day during this period. Even though the cost of wild orchids is not high, it has accumulated to a huge amount of money. Now the shop really doesn't have much money left.
Seeing that Carlisle's sincerity was tinged with embarrassment, Lin Er was not afraid that Carlisle was lying to him. After all, only he could refine the Rejuvenating Dew, and three days was not a long time, so he agreed.
Carlisle breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Lin Er repeatedly, and then placed the packaged Rejuvenating Dew on the shelf, waiting for customers.
Lin Er knew that Carlisle was a pharmacist, so he asked him about the Nine Spirit Grass and the Spirit Ginseng, which were also called Star Vein Silver Fern and Dragon Blood Essence Ginseng here.
Carlisle hesitated before replying, "These two magical plants you mentioned are extremely rare. I don't have any here; you'll need to place a request with the guild."
Lin Er nodded in agreement; issuing a commission was indeed a viable option.
But when Carlisle said that a commission would cost at least 50 francs, he immediately shut up.
That's way too expensive.
He should go find it himself.
After instructing Carlisle to keep a close eye on things, Lin Er left.
Since he has already broken through to the second level of Qi Refining, there is no need to wait until the tenth day.
He turned and went to find Flora, and soon found her at the guild.
Upon meeting, Flora looked at her intently and pondered, "You've gotten stronger again?"
