Lin Xuan did not know that Lin Qingming was nearby, but even if he knew, he would not have cared.
After leaving the teahouse, he went directly to the ability user guild. The new type of body refining secret medicine needed to be re-selected, and the external use of oral medicine needed to be changed. Drug resistance was something he wanted to avoid. Therefore, the combination of external use and oral use was the key.
The ability user guild in the Imperial City was the headquarters. It had the same layout of having three buildings, but regardless of whether it was in terms of size or style, it far surpassed the ability user guild in Dongning City.
In the cultivation building’s medicine dispensing room, Lin Xuan selected a potion formula that had not been used before. Then, he directly spent one million to purchase the dosage for ten days.
He would be spending 100,000 dollars a day. This was very expensive. The average low-level yellow-rank ability user would spend about 100,000 dollars a week on cultivation. However, this was something that he was willing to spend on. The body-refining secret medicine was applied externally and consumed internally. Once a day, it must be paired with a medicinal diet and spiritual food. In addition to the ancient method of massage, it was much more efficient.
Today, Zhu Yuan wasted too much time with useless people. It was already half past four in the afternoon. By the time he chose a new body-refining secret medicine and paid, it was already five in the afternoon. He divided that it was time to eat.
After eating, Lin Xuan lay in the hot tub and sighed comfortably. This fire source secret medicine mainly relied on a large amount of heat to stimulate the body to relax and absorb the medicinal effects. The hotter the water, the better the effect, Lin Xuan increased the temperature from 60 degrees to 100 degrees. The water boiled, and it was the perfect temperature for him.
At this moment, the Dragon Ephant technique revolved rapidly. Now that Lin Xuan had reached the fourth level of the Dragon Elephant technique, the speed at which it revolved was much faster. The large amount of energy that he had absorbed from the outside world was directly used by that technique to strengthen his body.
Picking up the secret medicine that he had consumed turned out to be frighteningly cold. This time, the secret medicine combination that Lin Xuan had chosen was very famous in the secret medicine world — ice and fire. It used heat externally, but it was cold internally. Ice and fire revolved around his body, strengthening it greatly!
Whether the effects were strong or not, Lin Xuan had yet to feel it. However, it felt truly refreshing. That feeling was like soaking in a hot spring and drinking a cold cup of coffee. It was refreshing and invigorating!
After that was the ancient method of massage. The moment the masseuse touched Lin Xuan, he could feel the tremor force. Every press that landed on Lin Xuan’s body caused his bones to go numb, his muscles to go soft, his veins to relax, and his skin to become more resilient. For an entire hour, the massage caused Lin Xuan’s entire body to go numb. In the end, the masseuse applied a layer of secret medicinal oil on Lin Xuan’s body and left silently.
This new round of body strengthening began. Lin Xuan realized that his previous terrifying improvement had returned. However, the twelfth dragon elephant transformation was like an endless sea that could not be touched. All kinds of buffs and enhancements still did not matter if it was accumulated over time or overnight. No matter how hard Lin Xuan worked, he still could not reach that threshold!
It was still early. Moreover, the distance from the ability user guild to where he lived in the Imperial City was relatively close. He might as well go home. Coincidentally, he bought the skill that he added to the shopping cart today. With the extra points, he took a look at the items that could strengthen his body excitedly.
He bought eight steps, zen dragon chant, explosive fist flame, willow wind, sword draw, and domineering sword which summed up to 1,550 points.
When the order went through, Lin Xuan’s heart ached a little from the loss of points.
Lin Xuan’s hands trembled as he opened up the treasures again. Right now, his body strengthening had reached a stage where it was difficult to advance even an inch. He had to use strong medicine to improve himself!
Lin Xuan looked at the remaining 450 points again and again. In the end, he bought all the thousand-year stalactite milk. This item had mild medicinal properties and could effectively strengthen the foundation of the ability user. It could even take it further by allowing one to break through another level.
A total of 45 drops of thousand-year stalactite milk, 10 points for one drop. It was not cheap, so he bought it reluctantly.
As the cold wind blew, Lin Xuan leisurely looked at the scenery. He thought about how prosperous Imperial City felt.
Highly talented ability users did not busy themselves with cultivation. On the contrary, they liked to spend time on more artistic things, which was euphemistically called cultivating one’s sentiments. Lin Xuan had never understood what the meaning of that meant.
Perhaps, it was not of any use in the first place!
Right then, the doorbell rang.
‘ Wow, the order for the milk arrived pretty quickly!’ Lin Xuan thought as he walked over to open the door. Unexpectedly, there were three people outside the door.
A senior wearing the school’s uniform with a small box in her hand and the Lin sisters.
“This is your express delivery. Please sign for it and confirm if the items are all here.”
The senior handed the box over. Lin Xuan used his watch to scan it and signed it. Then, he checked the skill cards inside as well as the thousand-year stalactite milk in the small bottle. After confirming the quantity, he accepted the order.
The senior received the message that the express delivery had been accepted. She greeted them and immediately left. As for the Lin sisters, they stood by the side while the exchange happened.
“Come in.”
Lin Xuan was a little helpless as to what to do, but he still could not make the two of them stand at the door and not come in. He stuck to his principles — if there was a problem, solve it. Of course, the initiative was now in the hands of the Lin sisters, and if they did not want to solve it, lin Xuan would not be bothered to solve it as well. After three years, he would be free from the contract anyways!
“So, what do you have to say?”
Each of them took a cup of boiled water. Because the weather had turned cold, these two cups were both warm and plain.
“No, before we talk, I want to hear what requirements you have for your teammates.”
Lin Zhenyue held the cup in her hand and sipped it carefully. When she heard Lin Xuan’s words, she could not help but reply.
“If it’s a temporary team, then it’s enough as long as it doesn’t drag us down.”
Lin Xuan said softly.
“We are an official team that has signed a three-year contract. Tell me your other requirements.”
Lin Zhenyue narrowed her eyes and tightened the cup in her hand.
“Three years is still temporary!” Lin Xuan shook his head. “I don’t have any requirements for my teammates. It’s fine as long as they don’t drag me down and don’t waste my time.”
Lin Zhenxing looked at him in a daze. The lively and naive Lin Zhenxing immediately noticed the coldness in Lin Xuan’s heart. In his heart, he only cared about himself!
