276: Chapter 277 Parents' Recent Situation

When returning to the villa, Father Lin and Mother Lin had just logged out of the martial domain game.

At this moment, the two were sitting on the sofa drinking tea, with the television on, playing the evening news from a local channel.

Unlike Lin Ye, his parents did not stay in the game for long periods.

Basically, they would log off every day to get some fresh air, watch TV, or sit in the courtyard to bask in the sun for a while.

In Mother Lin's words, no matter how good the game world was, it always felt like there was a veil between it and reality; she still felt more grounded staying in the real world.

Perhaps this was the nostalgic mindset of the older generation; it couldn't be changed.

Lin Ye changed his shoes and walked over, plopping down onto the sofa. He casually picked up a piece of apple from the table and took a bite; it was crisp, and the juice overflowed.

These fruits were special supplies from the authorities; they couldn't be bought on the market at all.

He could be considered to have enjoyed a taste of the privileged class's life.

"Dad, Mom, how has the situation been lately? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Mother Lin was holding her teacup, sipping slowly. Hearing this, she put down the cup: "It's quite good. Every day, I just grow flowers and grass in the game, and occasionally go to the Pill Refining Room to help out. Life is very leisurely."

"The Pill Refining Room? Mom, you can perform Alchemy now?"

Lin Ye's eyes lit up.

As everyone knows, Alchemists and Blacksmiths are the two most profitable auxiliary professions, with Alchemists being the most lucrative.

There is no other reason; rarity makes things valuable.

Compared to Blacksmiths, Alchemists have a higher entry threshold.

Those without an inherently powerful Soul basically have no chance.

However, once initiated, their earning ability is incomparable to ordinary Blacksmiths.

Even the lowest-ranked ninth-grade Alchemist has a net worth in the millions, which is incomparable to Blacksmiths.

Of course, if one can forge a Spiritual Artifact, that is another matter.

"I have practiced refining a few times with my master. Currently, I can only refine eighth-grade Medicinal Pills at most. If it's any higher, my Mental Energy is not enough."

Lin Ye was even more shocked now: "Eighth-grade? Mom, you can already refine eighth-grade Medicinal Pills?"

Good heavens, could it be that the Myriad Medicine Divine Body also has a bonus in Alchemy?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable.

After all, one of the effects of the Myriad Medicine Divine Body is the ability to discern the attributes of medicinal Materials.

Once the raw Materials are fully understood, refining Medicinal Pills naturally becomes twice as effective with half the effort.

"Is this... difficult?" Mother Lin looked puzzled.

It seemed that all the Alchemists she had met started at sixth-grade Medicinal Pills; as for pills below the sixth grade, no one bothered to refine them.

As an eighth-grade Alchemist, she was hardly noteworthy among the Personal Disciples.

Hearing his mother's slightly humble-bragging tone, Lin Ye was speechless.

He almost forgot that his mother started as a Personal Disciple of the Medicine King Valley.

The people she usually came into contact with would definitely be big shots if placed in the outside world.

By that comparison, eighth-grade Medicinal Pills were indeed not very impressive.

"Uh, eighth-grade Medicinal Pills are still quite precious. Where I am, one starts at a thousand taels of silver."

Lin Ye decided to give his mother a proper education on the prices in the martial domain game, lest she be treated as a sucker when she went out to train in the future.

"That is quite expensive. However, in the Medicine King Valley, eighth-grade Medicinal Pills are given away for free and no one wants them; they are all crushed and used as fertilizer for the medicinal fields."

Mother Lin nodded seriously.

Pfft~

Lin Ye almost spat out the tea leaves in his mouth.

Is this the gold content of the Medicine King Valley?

Using eighth-grade Medicinal Pills as fertilizer, that is really... quite extravagant.

"Ahem, let's not talk about this. Mom, how much have your various attributes improved?"

Lin Ye decisively changed the subject; he felt that if he kept listening, his Dao Heart would shatter.

"In the early stages, I took quite a few Medicinal Pills, and all three attributes have exceeded 100."

"However, my master said that increasing cultivation too quickly is not a good thing, as it can easily lead to a shaky Foundation, and told me to consolidate more."

After hearing his mother's words, Lin Ye was stunned.

In just two short months, all three attributes broke through 100 points.

This rate of improvement was much faster than his own back then!

Good heavens, is the Myriad Medicine Divine Body that strong?

Of course, without the sufficient resource supply of the Medicine King Valley, no matter how powerful Mother Lin's Myriad Medicine Divine Body was, it would be difficult for even a clever housewife to cook a meal without rice.

It can only be said that she was born into a good situation.

Starting by joining the Medicine King Valley at least saved his mother three years of detours.

As for a shaky Foundation, he wasn't too worried.

How could mere natives of another world understand the gold content of a cheater?

The Myriad Medicine Divine Body is a Divine-Grade Talent certified by the System, and it has a natural advantage in the absorption of Medicinal Pills and medicinal power.

As long as it is not continuously crossing major Realms, there will basically be no major problems with the Foundation; otherwise, it wouldn't live up to the prestige of a Divine-Grade Talent.

Of course, there is no harm in consolidating more.

Therefore, Lin Ye did not express an opinion.

He then turned his head to look at his father, who was watching TV: "Dad, how about you?"

"I can't compare to your mother. In terms of cultivation, I barely entered the ninth grade, but I have made some Breakthroughs in blacksmithing."

Speaking of this, Father Lin couldn't help but curl his lips.

"I can now stably forge rare-grade equipment. Two days ago, I even successfully awakened the spirituality of a piece of equipment using the Hammer of Creation."

Lin Ye sat up straight upon hearing this: "Really?"

Lin Ye wasn't too surprised that his father could forge rare-grade equipment in two months, but creating a Spiritual Artifact directly was too exaggerated.

"Would I lie about that? It was a long sword. After finishing the forging, I tried tapping it with the Hammer of Creation. I didn't expect it to work, but as a result, light blue patterns automatically appeared on the sword body."

"Although it is still a bit lacking in spirituality compared to a real Spiritual Artifact, it is already much stronger than rare-grade equipment."

"Moreover, this matter reached the ears of an Elder of the Divine Forging Valley stationed in Divine Work City. He came to find me that very day, saying he wanted to take me as his disciple and take me to the Divine Forging Valley."

Lin Ye's face showed pleasant surprise upon hearing this: "That's a good thing! The forging techniques of the Divine Forging Valley are top-notch throughout the Great Han. If you can go there for advanced studies, Dad, your forging level will definitely be able to reach a higher level."

Father Lin nodded: "I thought so too, but I haven't agreed completely yet. I wanted to wait and discuss it with you before making a decision."

"No need to discuss, go." Lin Ye did not hesitate.

"Opportunities are rare; if you miss this, there might not be a next time."

"A place like the Divine Forging Valley is not somewhere anyone can enter just because they want to. Since the Elder took the initiative to speak, it means he truly values your Talent."

Lin Ye paused for a moment.

"Besides, you can already independently forge rare-grade equipment now. Once you enter the Divine Forging Valley, the resources and techniques you come into contact with will definitely be much stronger than now, and your future room for improvement will be even greater."

Father Lin pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll go."

Afterwards, the three of them chatted for a while longer, and Mother Lin asked about Lin Ye's situation.

Lin Ye just briefly mentioned the Sun Family and the Flying Eagle Gang, without going into too much detail.

Mother Lin didn't ask much after listening, only urging him to pay attention to safety.

As the night grew deeper, the three returned to their respective rooms.

His parents' rate of progress was much faster than he had expected, and he couldn't drag them down. He had to seize the time to push his Cultivation of the Finger of God further, at least to raise his Realm from proficient to the next level.

However, before that, he had to first break open the remaining acupoints of the Extreme Intent Limit-Breaking Method so that his Physical Body could withstand higher-level power.

Thinking of this, he moved his mind and logged back in.
