As Lin Yuan entered the house, the doorbell rang automatically.
"I'm back."
Lin Yuan said it out of habit, but the little figure he expected did not appear.
"Okay, the store is closed, and so are the people." Lin Yuan said helplessly.
On the mahogany counter, Lina lay quietly, like a lazy kitten.
The summer sunshine passed through the purple wisteria in front of the wooden window, covering her body like gold, as if covered with a thin gauze, and the forest edge was dazzled for a moment.
Speaking of which, it was the same scene when we first met.
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's lips, remembering the scene when he first met the girl on the Hailuo Star.
Unknowingly, so much time has passed. You haven't changed at all.
Lin Yuan sat next to the girl, looked at her quietly, and smoothed her slightly raised white hair.
The soft and soft hair slipped between his fingers, always giving him an indescribable feeling of cold comfort.
"Have a sweet dream."
Lin Yuan stretched out two fingers, and the golden sunlight gathered and woven into a thin quilt. He pinched it and gently covered Lina's body.
"Well, Xiaolin, are you back?"
The girl's beautiful eyelashes trembled, but she did not wake up. She seemed to feel the warmth on her body, and her little hands instinctively grabbed the quilt and wrapped herself tighter.
"I'm talking in my sleep."
Lin Yuan smiled hoarsely and put away the lists scattered on the counter.
"Big Black Bear, you need 2 Anthel Herbs, pay 20 shells, and make a big profit of 3 pieces."
"Three-legged toad, you need 1 ten-year-old secret sesame, pay 9 shells, and make a small profit of 1 piece"
"One eye..."
Lin Yuan roughly scanned the list, cast an illusion on himself, and walked out of the store.
"Which of you wants to buy something?" Lin Yuan said loudly.
"Me me me!"
"I want to buy it too!"
"First come, first served, I came first!"
"The old Taoist also wants to buy some Wu Bao Cao."
For a time, the front of Lina's house became the busiest place on the street.
…
"Ah, what happened, I overslept!"
"The products for our customers are not ready yet."
"But I slept really well today."
Lina rubbed her sleepy eyes, and after seeing the clock on the opposite wall, she let out a lovely cry.
The sunlight covering her body fell to the ground and shattered into golden streams of light.
Dang Dang Dang!
Lin Yuan rang the bell.
"Don't panic. I've finished the customer's list for you."
"Little lazy boy, when you wake up, come over and eat."
A dining table was set up in the house.
Under the bright yellow candlelight, Lin Yuan stood by the table, holding an iron spoon and pouring steaming soup into two white porcelain bowls.
"I'm not a slacker! I just slept a little longer, just a little while." Lina retorted weakly, with a shy blush on her face.
"Xiao Lin, when did you come back?"
Lina jumped off the high stool and came to the dining table and asked.
"We arrived at noon. Then seeing how soundly someone slept, the store manager had to fend for himself."
Lin Yuan looked at the girl with a smile and said.
"Arrived at noon?"
"I, I'm going to wash my face first! Come and eat after washing."
Lina felt that her cheeks were hot and steam seemed to be coming out of her head. She felt dizzy and ran away.
After dinner, the two of them happily played games together with the controller, and Lin Yuan walked into his workshop.
On the spacious desk, a large number of complex drawings are scattered everywhere.
The blackboards next to them are also covered with triangles, nested circles and other unknown symbols.
At present, a stable connection has been established between the spiritual world and the present world.
Lu Qing, Carlos and others are like nails, firmly anchoring the two worlds.
The distance between this world and the spiritual world is constantly shortening.
But at this rate, it may still take thousands of years for the current world to completely fall into the spiritual world.
Lin Yuan couldn't wait so long.
"Based on the Star Gate of the Galaxy World, integrated with the teleportation array technology of the Immortal World, plus soul reflection, soul-flesh transformation... let's call it the 'Gate of the World'."
"After the research on the World Gate is successful, we can start the era of time travel for all people. By then, my real cultivation level can continue to improve."
At present, his true cultivation level is only Foundation Establishment, which is equivalent to the peak level 2.
It is because in the spiritual world, relying on his authority, he possesses a power that is close to that of the Creator God.
Once he leaves the spirit world, Lin Yuan will be immediately knocked back to his original form.
This is also the reason why he set the upper limit of death in the pit world to build foundations.
This way, it will not only put strong pressure on the time-travelers from this world, but also avoid beating them to death with a hammer.
When the people in this world become stronger, the time and space in this world will loosen, and Lin Yuan can further improve his true cultivation.
"Oh, it's so difficult for me."
"Other me, if you still have any conscience, give me something to compensate me immediately."
Lin Yuan held the pen in his hand and looked at the mysterious and complicated design of the World Gate in front of him, his scalp felt numb for a while.
In the void, two points of silver light leaked out, illuminating a pair of cold eyes.
"You know, as a moral person, I have no emotions and no conscience."
"It is progressing smoothly at present, and the world's sea of possibilities is closing. Some of the different time and space have been anchored to the present world. There will be contact in 6 months, and there will be two sixth-level beings among them."
The pen in Lin Yuan's hand paused, and the veins on his forehead pulsed.
"So, you showed up specially to bring me such bad news?"
"Six months in this world, and only 50 years in the spiritual world. When the time comes, all that will return to this world will be a bunch of foundations, and I will take the lead to resist the alien space and time?"
puff.
Lin Yuan inserted the pen into his silver-white eyes and stirred it twice in frustration.
"It's not a serious problem. From what I can see, Lina, as a heaven-level star user, is equivalent to an ordinary sixth-level star even without the support of the universe source."
"At your request, she will burn her origin. It will be enough to knock two level 6 people back to different time and space and destroy the time and space anchor." Daoxing Lin Yuan said calmly.
"What will happen to Lina?" Lin Yuan asked.
"There is a 20% chance of death and an 80% chance of serious injury. But with my guidance, she will only be seriously injured."
"You planned it really well." Lin Yuan exclaimed, the pen in his hand being bent due to pinching.
"That's the best I've seen possible."
"I understand. You can disappear."
The silver-white eyes gradually faded and disappeared. Lin Yuan sighed, threw the pen into the trash can, and rubbed his temples with both hands.
"What a heartless bastard."
"Are you two people of level 6? You seem to have forgotten that I, the Taoist, belong to the same body and are not among the infinite possibilities you can see."
"I will create better possibilities!"
Snap.
Lin Yuan took out a new pen, spread out the paper, and meticulously described the spell runes and mechanical structure.
Under the dark night sky, in the streets of Sanwang City, the light of a small room stayed on for a long time, illuminating a figure sitting at his desk.
…
Early the next morning, Lin Yuan let out a long yawn and woke up from his desk.
The research on the Gate of the World consumed too much mental energy and energy. Lin Yuan couldn't bear it until late at night and fell asleep.
"There are still too many problems, and the coupling between various systems is really frustrating. We can only take our time."
"Hmm, it smells so good. Is this the scent of oat milk?"
Lin Yuan organized the drawings, sniffed the air, and followed the scent out of the workshop.
I saw Lina wearing a pure white apron, staring at the tin pot as if facing an enemy.
In the pot was milk that was starting to bubble, with oats sloshing around in the middle.
Because she was so focused, she didn't even notice that Lin Yuan had also walked to the pot.
"It's amazing, Lina. You can actually boil milk!" Lin Yuan praised.
"ah!"
Lina exclaimed, and the flame controlled in her hand suddenly exploded.
The iron pan didn't hold on for even half a second, and the upper part melted into molten iron, dripping into the browned milk, and mixed into an indescribable black liquid.
"..."
Lin Yuan's half-stretched thumb froze in the air.
"Failed."
"It failed again."
"I obviously worked hard to get up early and wanted to boil some milk for Xiaolin."
"It's better to eat fruit. Fruit is also very sweet."
Lina murmured to herself, with a desperate face. She put down the iron pot, walked to Lin Yuan, stuffed a red apple to Lin Yuan, and then walked to the sofa step by step.
"Hey, are you okay?" Lin Yuan turned around and shouted towards Lina.
Lina took off her apron, threw herself on the sofa, casually pulled the air-conditioning quilt, and buried herself.
After a while, the quilt was lifted, Lina shook her hair, patted her chest and said fearfully:
"Huh, uh~ It turns out it was a dream. How could Lina not be able to boil milk? This is really a nightmare."
Lin Yuan's eyebrows twitched and he was speechless for a while.
Girl, you have a lot of roles. You have learned selective amnesia on your own without a teacher, right?
The melting iron pot is crying! Apologize for the dead oat milk!
After thinking about it, in order not to dampen her enthusiasm, it was mainly because she was the one causing the fright.
Click.
Lin Yuan ate the apple honestly and cleared away the debris at the scene.
Well, this apple is also quite delicious.
After the two of them washed up, Lin Yuan personally made some simple breakfast to get through the morning.
Then, Lena's Cabin opened.
The 7 or 8 customers who had been waiting early rushed into the store.
There is no way, the owner of this shop is very willful. He will close it when he says it is closed. He might open it now and kick them out after a while.
"Boss, 1 bundle of butterfly grass!"
"Boss, there are 8 red blood roots!"
"boss……"
"It's all there! It's all there!"
Lin Yuan waved his hand, and a tornado rose in the room.
Customers waving shell currency were all sucked in, and then spit out one by one, forming a neat queue.
"How's it going? Are there more customers now?"
Under the counter, Lina held her face in her hands and stared at Lin Yuan with her big eyes, looking like she was praising me.
My boutique route, Yuanzhiwu Qiyu Pavilion, has become the popular route, Lina’s House Herbal Shop, and of course there are more customers.
"Yes, yes, I will give you an outstanding store manager award at the end of the year!" Lin Yuan touched Lina's hair and said.
"If you touch your head too often, you won't grow taller." Lina said dissatisfiedly as she broke her head away from Lin Yuan's hand.
"Ah this..."
So many years have passed in the spiritual world. Girl, accept the reality.
Lin Yuan looked at Lina, who was not yet a girl, above the lolita, shook her head, and began to solve the customer's needs.
There was an endless stream of customers throughout the morning. Lina left early, leaving Lin Yuanchu alone at the counter, unable to fish.
"Store manager, store manager! I want 2 hundred-year-old raw blood ginseng! Hurry!"
A leopard man with a bruised nose and swollen face rushed into the shop and shouted.
"This injury looks like a recent beating. Do you want to use it yourself?"
Lin Yuan asked while making medicinal materials out of thin air under the counter.
"Oh, it's my two brothers. They were beaten severely and now they can't even get out of bed."
"I don't know where the human race found three ruthless men. They set up a ring in the middle of the street, and all the races were beaten into a pot of porridge!"
The leopard man took the medicine and hurried away.
"Is it Lu Qing and the others?"
Lin Yuan touched his chin, showing an interested expression.
…
"Who else!!!"
In the middle of the street, Zhuo Li stood proudly on the ring, with aqua blue filaments surrounding him, cutting the air into a whistling sound of wind.
At his feet, a turtle man with a swollen head and a mouth full of blood struggled to climb down from the ring.
"Strong, too strong!"
"Where did this ruthless person come from? Lord Turtle, who was at the fifth level of Qi Refining and had invincible defense, fell down!"
"Where is the master of the sixth level of Qi Refining? How can a human race be so arrogant!"
Around the ring, there were densely packed orcs and monsters shouting and cursing, but no one dared to step onto the ring.
This human race is too strong!
The filaments surrounding the surface of the body can be gathered or dispersed. When gathered together, it is a powerful water punch, and when spread out, it is a seamless cutting filament.
The Rabbit Tribe, Leopard Tribe, and Turtle Tribe all lost some of their best players, all of them with bruises and swollen faces. I'm afraid even my mother won't recognize them when I get home.
"This kid Zhuo Li is very good at it. He actually learned such a trick in the Special Investigation Bureau, 'Rouchang Baizhen'. No wonder he has the confidence to be the first to enter the ring." Ji Mian laughed.
"The disadvantage of this move is that it consumes too much mana. Moreover, it requires very high control on the part of the caster. If Zhuo Li can control the filaments around him to prevent them from colliding with each other, the power will be even higher."
Lu Qing gathered magic power in her eyes and carefully observed Zhuo Li's situation.
Lin Yuan and Lina also moved small benches and sat in the seats on the mezzanine of the space, eating melon and watching with relish.
"These monsters in the spirit world are still too naive, and they were successfully tricked by him!" Lin Yuan shook his head and said.
"Pretended?" Lina put down the watermelon in her hand and looked at Lin Yuan doubtfully.
"You don't understand. Delicious melon." Lin Yuan said.
"oh."
Lina put aside her doubts, took a bite of watermelon, and continued to watch the battle happily.
On the ring, Zhuo Li looked around, smiling heartily.
After today, there will be no one in Shanwang City who does not recognize Master Zhuo’s reputation!
This is Master Zhuo’s cultivation of immortality!
Even though Mr. Zhuo’s mana is at its lowest now and he can’t even defeat the third level of Qi Refining, Mr. Zhuo can still pretend!
Under Master Zhuo's momentum, don't you monsters have trembling legs and dare not face Master Zhuo directly?
"Hmph! The hero is not here, let Shuzi show off his power!"
In the distance, a big man from the Lion Clan walked over, his mane fluttering around his neck and his body full of breath.
"Oh my God, it's Lion-Hearted Crazy! A master at the sixth level of Qi Refining!"
"Haha, this human race is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, so he's in trouble! Look how arrogant he is!"
The monsters onlookers were so excited, as if they had seen the great savior, and the depression in their hearts suddenly relaxed.
"Alas, there is no one who can fight! Master Zhuo is tired today. Next, I will let my companions fight with you."
Zhuo Li took a look at the strong man's posture and said, "Good guy, if you don't leave, I'm afraid I'll have to lie down on the ring."
Without saying a word, Zhuo Li made a strategic move and turned his whole body into a puddle of water, returning to Ji Mian's side with his water escape technique.
"The rest is up to you." Zhuo Li said with a smile.
Ji Mian rolled his eyes: "You have already beaten your opponent to the sixth level of Qi Refining. Let me hammer you."
"I'll do it. According to Tang's prophecy, only two people are needed to compete in the arena."
Lu Qing took a step forward, and her Taoist robe was filled with wind.
His body seemed to have lost weight, moving with the wind, like a legendary immortal, floating lightly above everyone and falling in the center of the ring.
The tip of his toes touched the ground, and the dissipated wind blew a circular, dust-free and clean area around him.
Lu Qing stroked his beard with one hand and held a whisk in the other, and said calmly to the red-haired lion man:
"Master of the Human Race Immortality Temple, Lu Qing, please enlighten me."
Bang!
The lion man jumped onto the ring:
"The lion-hearted lion of the lion tribe! Lu Qing, I recognize your strength."
