And looking at the miraculous appearance of these plants, they were definitely spiritual plants.
"I cultivated them myself, and they are all very ordinary spiritual plants. There's nothing difficult about them." Lin Yi smiled calmly.
"There's nothing difficult about it?" Zhao Aiguo sucked in a breath of cold air. "How can there be nothing difficult about nurturing spiritual plants?!"
Before he came, he had gone to the Jiangcheng Province Research Institute to understand the latest research results.
However, even if the senior researchers in the research institute cultivated spiritual plants, it wouldn't be as simple as what Lin Yi said.
Zhao Aiguo looked at the spiritual plants in the entire courtyard and then at Lin Yi. He then exhaled softly. "Xiaoyi, you've grown up. Alright, I won't interfere in your matters, but you have to be clear that your talent in spiritual plants is very high. Before your cultivation becomes more stable, don't reveal this to others."
"Alright, I know. At the moment, other than the people from the sect, Uncle Zhao, and Wanting, no one else knows about the situation in the small courtyard."
"That's good." Zhao Aiguo nodded. "I'm not restricting you. Currently, the situation in society is very unstable. The recovery of spiritual energy not only brings hope but also chaos."
"Many people will completely let go of their desires and do as they please once they obtain strength, posing a great threat to ordinary people. Even though the Supernatural Supervision Bureau is working hard to control them, as the number of people who practice martial arts and cultivate immortality increases, some unrest is unavoidable.
"Hmm? Is it that serious?" Lin Yi felt a little curious.
He had stayed in the mountains for a long time. Even if he went out, he would only buy some things and return very quickly. Hence, he wasn't particularly sensitive to the changes in today's society.
"It's not serious. I'm just saying. It's generally peaceful, but there will still be some minor chaos in certain areas." Zhao Aiguo waved his hands repeatedly. It was fine if he could scare Little Yi a little and make him more cautious. He didn't want to scare him too much and make him refuse to come out of seclusion.
However, he didn't know that Lin Yi was already frightened.
In his mind, he could already imagine how chaotic the outside world was. Those who obtained martial arts and cultivation arts would act recklessly and vent their inner desires. Ordinary people would live in the heat of life.
The Supernatural Supervision Bureau had too few people and couldn't manage everything. They could only try their best to maintain a relatively stable state.
No wonder they encountered so many rats on the way last time. It was obvious that the Supernatural Supervision Bureau couldn't set up the basic defenses properly.
The more Lin Yi thought about it, the more shocked he became. The more he thought about it, the more fearful he felt. In such a chaotic situation, he had actually gone out a few times before. Wasn't he courting death?
Fortunately, they were heading to a large city. If they went to a small place, who knew what kind of situation they would encounter?
Even though Lin Yi was at the Qi Refinement Realm and had grasped a few spells, he currently didn't have any treasures, defensive spells, or escape arts. It was fine if he encountered one or two opponents, but once he was surrounded, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape.
"No, I can't go out anymore!"
Lin Yi made up his mind to wait until he could guarantee his safety before thinking of leaving the mountain. For now, he would obediently stay in the mountains.
Right, there was also an array formation!
Lin Yi's eyes lit up. If he were to set up a few more defensive or killing formations, one illusory formation wouldn't be enough.
"Xiaoyi! Xiaoyi?"
Zhao Aiguo saw that Lin Yi was frowning in contemplation. After waiting for a while, Lin Yi still maintained this posture and called out helplessly.
"Xiaoyi, don't be afraid. I was just scaring you earlier. Society is very stable. If you don't believe me, come down the mountain with me to take a look."
"No, no." Lin Yi shook his head repeatedly. Going down the mountain? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
"Let's not talk about this for now." Zhao Aiguo smiled bitterly. "Do you still have the fruit you gave me to treat my internal injuries?"
"I do. Why, Uncle Zhao? Did you use it?" Lin Yi asked.
"I suffered some internal injuries during this operation, so I used it. The effects of the starflower seeds are really good. Right, your fruit is called the starflower, right?"
A Connate martial artist had even suffered internal injuries…
"Yes, it's starflower seeds."
Lin Yi looked at Zhao Aiguo faintly, his heart even more determined not to leave the mountain.
According to his understanding on the extraordinary forum, the Connate true qi of Connate Realm cultivators could temporarily leave their bodies and possess very strong lethality. Their combat strength was comparable to cultivators in the mid and late-stage of the Qi Refinement Realm.
Naturally, Lin Yi also didn't know how the cultivators of this world fought. He didn't know if there were any magic tools, spells, talismans, and so on that could be used together.
In the cultivation world, the combat strength of early-stage cultivators completely depended on the strength of their magic treasures. The difference between cultivators with magic tools and those without them was even greater than the difference between humans and dogs.
Lin Yi pointed to a spiritual plant in the corner and said, "That's the glass tree. The starflower seeds are hanging on it. Uncle Zhao, you can take however many you want."
Zhao Aiguo followed Lin Yi's finger and looked over. When he saw the glass pieces hanging from the treetops, he immediately felt a heart attack.
This was the precious glaze that Chief Wang had mentioned. There were at least 40 to 50 starflower seeds in this tree!
"Why are there so many?"
Lin Yi smiled. "If you nurture them well, they will naturally bear more fruits."
Even though the Starflower Tree had grown well when End of the World first sent it over, it was also Connate deficient. Lin Yi had carefully nurtured it for two days to make up for its deficiency. When it reached the stage of bearing fruit, it naturally bore many fruits.
"Little Yi, Uncle Zhao won't take advantage of you. How about this? The glass pieces in the Paranormal Supervision Bureau's exchange list cost 500 points each. I'll pay 600 points for one and buy ten from you."
Even though starflower seeds could be redeemed with points, they were always out of stock and couldn't be purchased through official channels.
Lin Yi raised his brows. "Uncle Zhao, where did you get so many points?"
"Hehehe." Zhao Aiguo rubbed his hands and smiled. "Thanks to you, I'm now the deputy director of the Baishan City Supernatural Supervision Bureau. I don't lack points. Moreover, I don't need so many points for myself. I have a few good friends who also need them."
After knowing that Zhao Aiguo had starflower seeds, not only Wang Yuande, but his friends from the Supernatural Supervision Bureau also came to beg him and put in a good word for him, hoping to buy one.
"Congratulations on Uncle Zhao's promotion and wealth."
"If it wasn't for your help, Xiaoyi, I probably wouldn't even be at the Peak Innate Realm now. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well in the future."
"Uncle Zhao, take some starflower seeds for yourself. If you want to sell the rest, then give me the points." Lin Yi declined. Then, he suddenly thought of something. "Since you've been promoted, I happen to have something I need your help with."
"Oh? If there's anything, feel free to say it. As long as your uncle can help, I will." Zhao Aiguo patted his chest and replied generously.
"There are still two years left in the contractual period for Qifeng Mountain. I'll have to trouble Uncle Zhao to make a trip to extend the lease period. We'll extend it as long as we can." The land was rented from the village. At that time, his parents had rented the land for a very cheap price.
Lin Yi wasn't sure if the village would allow him to renew his lease if he went there. If there was an accident and they didn't allow him to renew his lease, it would be easy for him to use some bad methods. It was better to be safe and let Uncle Zhao, who was the deputy director of the Supernatural Supervision Bureau, make a trip there.
