Such a farce made Lin Xingchen feel bored. The situation in Kalonya seemed to have some problems, otherwise how could that man named John dare to add fuel to the fire.
Du Lu's approach was very crude, as can be seen from the way he paved the way for Sophia. Lin Xingchen's idea to him was to divide the interests, but he didn't listen and it was a choice between life and death.
This also shows the control that Duru has over Kalonya. Gauss told him that 60% of the forces supported Galen, but after his brutal approach, those with ulterior motives were killed or scattered, and although the situation was stabilized, the root of disaster was also planted.
When Sophia went to his house for advice, he taught her to adopt a conciliatory approach. On the one hand, she could try her best to appease the uneasy situation caused by her father, and on the other hand, she could let those vested interests understand that Sophia was in need of them.
To be honest, he felt very uncomfortable at today's banquet. First, he had to accept the deal with Du Lu. Of course, he could go somewhere else and live well, but for his four little apprentices, he still wanted to leave a stable environment for them.
The Demon Realm might be good in other places just as Du Lu had convinced him, but the lords he met after leaving Kalonya might not be as easy to talk to as he was.
On the way back, Lin Xingchen was a little confused about what he was doing here. He even felt a little at a loss!
Daily routine returned to the same as before, except that he would disappear for a while every once in a while.
The place that Du Lu said could speed up his practice was actually under the lord's mansion, a place isolated by an isolation array. As soon as he walked in, he felt a different place.
“This is a node in the demon world. The energy contained in it is very rich. The accumulation of your cultivation here for one day is equivalent to that of two to three days in the outside world.
And as you go deeper, the energy inside becomes purer and easier to absorb. However, there is also a danger: if your conversion speed is lower than your absorption speed, you are in danger of bursting."
Du Lu, who had been lying in bed in the outside world, was now standing beside Lin Xingchen and explaining things to him in a lively manner. He did not look like he was about to die at all.
"No wonder you can become a monarch of the third level. It must be because of this place!" Although Lin Xingchen felt that Du Lu's strength was very strong early on, he really didn't expect that he would be a transcendent third level even though his vitality was almost extinguished.
"If it weren't for this place, I would have collapsed long ago. From now on, this is where you will practice. I hope you can achieve greater success!"
Just as Du Lu said, the energy here is indeed suitable for cultivation. Although this energy is not so violent, it is absorbed very quickly. After more than a month of trying, he accidentally discovered that the Tree of Life can help him cultivate faster. ? Through the Tree of Life, he absorbs the violent energy here and feeds back to himself. Although this method slightly reduces the time of cultivation, it is safer.
Moreover, after Lin Xingchen's observation, he found that the Tree of Life in the space farm was also very fond of these chaotic energies. He took a look at the three mutant snow silkworms that had been sleeping for who knows how many years. It was unknown when these three things would be able to break out of their cocoons and be reborn.
For Lin Xingchen, practicing in seclusion is a common thing, but it is a bit troublesome for his disciples. Blake hopes to get guidance from their teacher, while Xia and Ellie are afraid of not seeing their uncle for a day purely out of security.
It only took Lin Xingchen a little over three months to go from the second level of transcendence to the peak of the second level. When he appeared, Xia hugged him with a bear hug, and Ellie just hugged his thighs for a long time and refused to let go.
After the family happily ate a meal, they returned to their previous state again: "Master, the competition held by the Demon World Professional Association will be held in three months. When do you think we should leave?"
Blake asked about this matter when he was chatting with Lin Xingchen after finishing his own work.
"What does Master Brown say?"
"Master, Master Brown has come to see you several times. He naturally hopes that we can go there earlier to get familiar with the situation. I heard that this event is more lively than previous years."
"Then you make the arrangements! Let Master Brown prepare the things we need. As for when to set off, you can discuss it with Jia and the others!"
Xia and the others were much more stable when going on a long journey again. The last time, they were so excited at the beginning that they encountered the little black dragon and the Eye Demon Tyrant, which left some shadows on Xia's travels.
The venue for each association competition is not fixed. According to the rules set when the competition was first established, only the territory where the winner of the master-level competition is located can apply to be the venue.
This time the competition was held in Xiali Territory, which was about one and a half months away from Kalonya. Xiali's pharmacy master won the last master-level competition and successfully applied for the qualification to host this competition.
Although there are many types of professional associations in the demon world, Michael, the founder of the demon world who founded the association, stipulated that only those who won the master pharmacist can get the right to apply.
According to the legend that has been passed down to this day, Michael came up with this method in order to promote the original pharmacy in the demon world. Although this approach has the effect of elevating pharmacy and suppressing other disciplines, from today's perspective, pharmacy is indeed more important than other disciplines.
Lin Xingchen's carriage was specially made for him by the goblins, so he didn't feel any bumps when sitting in it.
The same carriage was also made into a magic prop. There were still some reserves of rare materials such as space stone in the Sky City, so Lin Xingchen transformed this carriage into a magic prop.
It looks like an ordinary carriage from the outside, but the space inside is as big as a large room. Blake, Jia and others are receiving Lin Xingchen's instruction in the carriage at this time.
Lin Xingchen asked them not to choose a career for their living. Xia didn't like this request. What she wanted to learn was the ability to make money, not to repeat the same failed job every day.
Lin Xingchen usually tends to be indifferent to some things, but once he makes a decision, he will stick to it.
Moreover, he did not force people to learn blindly, but made plans based on their respective habits and interests after observation.
Blake has a talent for potions, but in addition to pharmacy, he still hopes that Blake can learn some music, so that he can change his mood during the boring process of potion preparation.
Jiaya assigned her to do forging. Although it was a bit indecent for a girl to use a sledgehammer, Jiaya herself liked it very much.
Ellie had the most to learn among the four, including magic circles, inscriptions, and potions, and in the end, Xia had no choice but for Lin Xingchen to teach her business.
The ringing of the bell in the carriage interrupted everyone's study time. Everyone walked out of the carriage in an orderly manner and saw that it was already lunch time.
"Master Xingchen, you have plenty of time to teach, so you can't miss the most important lunch every day!" a man said jokingly.
"Master Kull is right! It's just that Blake's level is still not up to par, so I want to give him some supplements now."
"Haha... Master Xingchen, you are too harsh. I dare not say that Blake's level can definitely win the championship of this advanced potion competition, but at least he can qualify for the top 20.
He is only 20 years old and still has many opportunities, so don't push him too much, or it might backfire! "As soon as Kuhl finished speaking, a loud female voice started scolding him.
"Shut up right now! You don't teach your own disciples with care, but you want to teach others bad things? If you can be half as attentive as Master Xingchen, I dare to brag that our Annabelle can make it into the top 50 this time."
"Master Xingchen, please don't bother with him. He is a man of many words and is used to talking nonsense!"
"Master Patri, you are being polite. Master Kull was just joking. How could I take it seriously? Besides, what he said actually makes sense. It's just that Blake is not as talented as Annanell, so I have to use a stupid method to let him try more so that he can gain more experience."
On the way to Xiali, Lin Xingchen met a convoy led by a couple named Kul and Patty. Since they were all going to Xiali, they traveled together, which gave both sides a good opportunity to communicate.
Kul is a forging master, although he can only reach the beginner level, he is still a master after all, and Patri is a leather armor master, and a senior master at that.
The Demon World's association has broken down life skills into very clear categories, and the advantage of this is that it allows most practitioners to specialize in the one they are best at.
As for someone like Lin Xingchen, who is proficient in many things and has very good results in all of them, it is actually very rare in the demon world.
Being knowledgeable also means being messy and unsophisticated. People in the demon world are opposed to this. Only those who have lost their goals in their original career will explore a second path.
Lin Xingchen had different opinions about leather armor, but he knew something about forging. He often shared his experiences with Kul on the road.
"In two days we will be entering the sphere of influence of Xiali Territory. Whether you can achieve good results depends on your luck, little guys."
Kuhl holds similar mobilization meetings every day. He brings thirteen apprentices with him, so their motorcade is also a very large one. In addition to the participants in the competition, there are also various accompanying vehicles and carriages for transporting supplies.
According to Kul, they didn't expect to get any good name this time, they just came here to bring their silly disciples to see the world. As for Annabelle, whom the couple mentioned, she was their only daughter.
