The rain hadnt stopped pouring for 24 hours. When the originally hot and stuffy summer

The rain hadnt stopped pouring for 24 hours. When the originally hot and stuffy summer was complemented with the moisture, it made it rather hard for anyone to breathe in this environment.
In this humid heat, an outgoing but frail-looking youth was holding an old-fashioned AI mobile phone. He was fiddling with it for a long time before the phone finally let out its distinctive startup sound.
Lin Yuan sighed in relief when he found out that his mobile phone wasnt faulty. He wouldnt be able to afford a new one.
After switching it on, Lin Yuan logged into the fey website that he frequented. He discovered that his account actually had 99 notifications when he had merely replied to one question.
When he had been unable to sleep that night, Lin Yuan had stumbled upon a forum post where someone asked for a solution after getting bitten by a Ghost Shadow Bristled Spider. He had answered it in a casual manner.
Do not panic when bitten by the Ghost Shadow Bristled Spider. Drink hot water with Woad Root, then clean the wound. To prevent your corpse from smelling bad, find a shady and ventilated place under a tree, and lie down. If your finances are enough, it is best to lay down a bamboo mat under your body.
While looking through all sorts of fancy replies, Lin Yuan heard a delicate sound. Suddenly, an ash-black cat pounced on his legs, which was followed by the sounds of flapping wings.
A sparrow-like bird that was entirely cyan landed on Lin Yuans shoulders and let out two chirps.
He quickly put down his mobile phone and asked the ash-black cat that was clinging to his legs, Genius, what is the temperature of the store now?
The cat leaped off from Lin Yuans legs before replying with a coquettish and sweet voice, The room temperature is 34C. Yuan, it is time for you to ventilate it and dissipate the heat.
In response, Lin Yuan carried the ash-black cat in a practiced motion before running downstairs, with the cyan bird that had been chirping still on his shoulder.
As dawn broke across the sky, Lin Yuan opened up the windows in an efficient manner before he carefully walked in front of the flower racks.
At that moment, the ash-black cat spoke again. Lin Yuan, eat your medicine first!
Lin Yuan immediately stopped in his tracks and went to pour some water instead. At the same time, the cyan bird brought over the medicine tablet with its beak.
Lin Yuan received the tablet from the bird and threw the tablet into his mouth before gulping it down with a cup of water.
The cyan bird then started a song involuntarily, but Lin Yuan swiftly covered its beak.
Chimey, if you sing now, Auntie Zhang from next door will come over again!
The talking cat, which was previously on Lin Yuans legs, and the bird on his shoulder, which could sing, seemed mystical. However, a century after the Spirit Qi Awakening, the ash-black cat and cyan bird were now common existences. Almost everyone had one of them.
The cat was called Genius, and it was a Hundred Questions Beast. It was a walking encyclopedia and could even fill in the role of a simple lifestyle butler. It was considered a housekeeping beast. However, it was different from other Hundred Questions Beasts on the market, as this ash-black cat was much skinnier and smaller. It truly looked like it was undernourished.
This cat may have been birthed by a mother Hundred Questions Beast, but because its fur didnt have an even distribution of black, it looked as though it was dirty, and consequently, its owner couldnt sell it for a long time.
The boss that was selling spirit pets had simply given a 50 discount on the price and let Lin Yuan have it.
As for the singing bird, it was a Sound Bird. It was very rare to see Sound Birds getting sold on the market due to the fact that most of the Sound Birds had already evolved into Songstress Birds. A Songstress Bird was just like a living music player, and clever Songstress Birds could learn over 100 songs.
As for this cyan and sparrow-like Sound Bird on Lin Yuans shoulder, it was a Sound Bird that had failed to evolve into a Songstress Bird.
When the boss had seen Lin Yuan hesitating to buy the Hundred Questions Beast, he had added this Sound Bird as a gift to Lin Yuan.
After receiving Lin Yuans training for over two years, the Sound Bird was able to sing one song now.
Chimey was the name of this little Sound Bird. When it had first arrived in this home, it had always been disheartened and drooping its head. All living things had a spirit and could naturally feel everything in their vicinity. Therefore, Lin Yuan would always praise Chimey to slowly build its confidence. As a result, Chimey had been especially lively after learning one song.
An undernourished and abandoned Hundred Questions Beast, a Sound Bird that had been treated like trash after failing to evolve, and a frail youth. No matter what, the trio looked like a rather weak combination. However, they were managing the fey store left behind by his parents in an orderly manner.
After consuming the medicine, Lin Yuan walked to the flower racks and carefully took down the black cloth that covered them.
Five succulent lotus flower-like plants were growing in the pots. They had an emerald green color and a faint fragrance that was almost undetectable.
When Lin Yuan took a closer look at these five stalks of Jasmine Lilies, he couldnt help but sigh after seeing one of the stalks. One of the Jasmine Lilies leaves had turned soft.
When is this scorching weather going to end?
The Jasmine Lilies were a class of common healing-type fey plants.
A century after the Spirit Qi Awakening, all living things in the world were influenced by the Spirit Qi and had different evolution variations.
The Jasmine Lily had been a type of succulent plant before the Spirit Qi Awakening, and it was one of those plants that had evolved.
If its owner accidentally cut their finger when chopping ingredients, they simply had to put a Jasmine Lily at the bedside, and by the next day, the cut on the finger would be completely healed.
Of course, there were also spirit qi professionals that chose the Jasmine Lily as a contract fey. However, the Jasmine Lily was a fey of the lowest grade, and it was extremely difficult to evolve.
These five pots of Jasmine Lilies in Lin Yuans store were all normal-grade. If they could pass elite-grade and reach the doorsteps of bronze-grade, then the Jasmine Lilies would be comparable with other excellent healing-type fey plants.
All living things had their status determined by fate low-grade feys were neglected because it was truly hard to evolve them. However, it would have been different if a low-grade fey was guaranteed to evolve into a high-grade fey. In fact, Lin Yuan heard rumors that low-grade feys had certain aspects that would enable them to suppress high-grade feys.
The rise of a low-grade fey was just like an insignificant person climbing to the clouds step by step from the earth. They were unlike high-grade feys that were born at the pinnacle.
High-grade feys could also evolve, and it was relatively easier as compared to low-grade feys.
Thats why it was rare for people to nurture low-grade feys. The resources required to nurture a low-grade fey were enough to nurture a few high-grade feys. A good example would be why almost every individual possessed a Hundred Questions Beast and Songstress Bird.
In this century, after the Spirit Qi Awakening, there had never been a case of a Hundred Questions Beast or a Songstress Bird evolving.
Lin Yuan carefully tended to the five pots of Jasmine Lilies by burying nutritional minerals into their soil. It might not be much of a labor, but Lin Yuan was already panting slightly.
Lin Yuans store might be called a store, but it only contained two types of fey plants five pots of Jasmine Lilies and over a dozen pots of Usnea. These Usneas couldnt even be considered Normal1 feys. They were only considered a variant of the original Usneas before the Spirit Qi Awakening.
Apart from the mild toxins, its vines now grew faster, and these vines also had increased nutrition within them. This was also why the Usnea was the best fodder for low-grade herbivorous or omnivorous fey pets.
Each day, these pots of Usneas would give around 100 one-meter-long vines for Lin Yuan.
To maintain my daily life, I still have to rely on these Usneas. If I can sell one pot of these Jasmine Lilies, it will be considered a pleasant surprise.
However, even as Lin Yuan looked at the Usneas like an elderly mother, he didnt have any intention to tend to them. He basically put in all his efforts on the five pots of Jasmine Lilies.
After Lin Yuan cleaned up the dust, this little fey store started its operations as usual after the morning rain.
When Lin Yuan opened the store, it was just a few minutes before 7 a.m.
Presently, Lin Yuan was standing beside the flower racks and felt he was more tired than normal. This was the reason why he looked frail.
The feeling of fatigue when he was opening the store every day was something that Lin Yuan was already used to. However, he could feel a spell of dizziness in the depths of his head, and it was seemingly getting more intensive.
Meow, Yuan, go to the chair and sit for a moment.
The ash-black cat immediately started to walk on Lin Yuans pants and clothes before climbing up to his neck. The cat then trembled as it stood up and used its paws soft pad to give Lin Yuans head a gentle massage.
The Sound Bird was also flying around anxiously as though it was asking why Lin Yuan looked weaker than normal.
Lin Yuan then forcefully invigorated himself before hugging the Hundred Questions Beast, Genius, in his arms. His fair fingers had very obvious and distinct bone lines as they stroked across the Hundred Questions Beasts fur.
Genius, Chimey, you dont have to worry about me. I probably didnt sleep well yesterday. While Lin Yuan was speaking, he started to ponder whether he had really caught a cold again.
His finances to maintain his familys store were very tight, and it was barely enough to support his younger sisters school fees. During normal times, he would be frugal on his own meals to save up money.
Poor people were most fearful of falling ill.
After a century since the Spirit Qi Awakening, all of the previously terminal illnesses were now curable with ease. As long as one could find a spirit qi professional, who had contracted a high-grade healing-type fey, treatment could be completed in a single session.
However, the fees for hiring spirit qi professionals with high-grade feys would be more than three months of operation fees for his store.
Lin Yuan might have said so, but Genius and Chimeys anxiety didnt reduce at all. It was as though they were afraid of losing their most precious treasure.
To Genius and Chimey, they were two inferior housekeeping pets that had been neglected and rejected, and Lin Yuan was their entire world.
When it was at exactly 7 a.m., a forthright and shrewish voice echoed punctually at the entrance.
Little Yuan, I have told you so many times not to open your store so early. You just have to open it after 8 a.m. so you can have more rest too.
The one speaking was a middle-aged lady who had placed a wooden square box on Lin Yuans reception counter. She then looked at Lin Yuan with a gentle glance before saying, Same old thing. Give me ten Usnea vines.
When Lin Yuan heard this rather passionate and shrewish voice, his face immediately put on a warm smile. Lin Yuans face looked extremely amiable from afar when he had this warm smile, just like the summer breeze.
Auntie Zhang, I have told you so many times that you shouldnt bring me breakfast when you come over to buy something! While speaking, Lin Yuan had already gone to harvest the Usnea vines in a quick and efficient manner.
A pot of Usnea would grow around 13 or 14 vines, which were around 1.5-meter long, per day.
One portion of the Usnea vine was exactly one meter long. Lin Yuans scissors snipped off ten vines, which were all exactly 1.5 meters in length. He then used a piece of cloth to tightly wrap all ten of the 1.5-meter vines together.
Lin Yuan packed the well-grown and fresh Usnea vines nicely.
As Auntie Zhang was watching how Lin Yuan crouched down and proficiently packed the Usnea vines, her eyes flashed with benevolence while feeling heartbroken.
As an old neighbor, Auntie Zhang had been watching as Lin Yuan had no choice but to become independent at the age of 12 to support this store in order to provide for himself and his younger sister. He could barely support his younger sister to study, and Auntie Zhang could no longer remember if this was the sixth or the seventh year.
When Lin Yuan brought the Usnea vines to the reception counter, he just happened to see Auntie Zhang looking at him.
Auntie Zhang, if I were to open my store at 8 a.m., you wouldnt be able to buy such fresh Usnea vines, right? he asked.
Auntie Zhang quickly withdrew her emotional eyes and laughed while saying, That is true. Why dont you learn from how the other stores are doing? These are just Usneas, and you are still putting energy ores in them. How much can you earn with each Usnea vine?
Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head without saying anything as he listened to Auntie Zhangs suggestion. At that moment, Lin Yuan was doing his best to support his body as the spell of dizziness plaguing his mind was so intense that he felt he might collapse at any moment.
Auntie Zhang understood that this youth had his own principles. Be it the opening of the store at exactly 7 a.m. each day or how he stubbornly insisted on putting energy ores in the Usneas soil.
While feeling heartbroken, Auntie Zhang still felt a vague admiration for this child that she had been watching grow up. It felt just like how a senior watched the junior grow into a responsible person.
Auntie Zhang left behind 75 Federation dollars before turning and walking to the entrance. She said before leaving, Little Yuan, your Uncle Li specially baked the flat sesame bread and mung bean milk for you. If you want your Uncle Li to be sad, then dont eat them.
When Lin Yuan saw the extra 25 Federation dollars on the table, he took the money and was about to call out to Auntie Zhang. All of a sudden, his dizziness intensified, and his eyes turned blurry before he fainted.
When Auntie Zhang walked away, she felt rather pleased. Every time when she wanted to give Little Yuan extra money, he would never accept it. This time, since she had walked away fast enough, Little Yuan would probably accept it.
However, just as she was at the stores entrance, she heard a clatter as though something had fallen onto the ground. Just before the clattering sound echoed, the Sound Bird and the Hundred Questions Beast let out anxious cries.
Auntie Zhang quickly turned around and noticed that Lin Yuan had collapsed on the ground with the 25 dollars in his hand. His eyes were silently closed, and his face looked calm, as though he was sleeping.
Auntie Zhang hurried over with worry to help up Lin Yuan.
The moment before Lin Yuan closed his eyes and fainted, his ears could vaguely hear the anxious cries of Genius, Chimey, and Auntie Zhang. Immediately after, his consciousness became murky.
In this murky state, it felt just like a swamp that would trap a persons feet, making it hard to move. It was viscous and deathly still.
After fainting, Lin Yuan gradually awakened in a strange environment. His mind flashed with the face of his younger sister, Genius, and Chimey.
These three individuals were his closest kin and his greatest worries. If he died, he didnt know how heartbroken his young sister would be, nor whether anyone would take care of Chimey and Genius.
It was fortunate that he had already saved up enough to pay for his young sisters school fees for next year.
Lin Yuans consciousness started walking around in this chaotic place. It was unknown how long he had been walking. All of a sudden, at the end of the chaotic place, Lin Yuan saw something that he was extremely familiar with.
It was a simple and unadorned copper-colored bracelet.
This bracelet had been Lin Yuans secret for all this time. In fact, this life was actually Lin Yuans second life.
His previous life had been high-spirited, and he had been in his prime. Unfortunately, he had died early at the age of 30. Upon opening his eyes, he was a newly born infant one century after the Spirit Qi Awakening. When he had been reborn, this copper bracelet had accompanied him.
Since then, he had been wearing this bracelet on his wrist. However, when he was eight years old, it had accidentally gotten smeared by his own blood and mysteriously vanished.
He would never have expected to discover the copper-colored bracelet in the depths of this place. The copper bracelet was currently flickering with a faint light. It caused the depths of his consciousness to be brimming with a tea-like ripple with jade luster.
This bracelet was just like a door that was waiting for Lin Yuans consciousness to step across it.
It was a kind of intangible calling, yet it was also the most congenial type of calling.
It was just like how fate subtly had guided Newton to the apple tree, and with great coincidence, the apple had fallen off from the tree.
Just as Lin Yuans consciousness crossed into the simple copper-colored ring of light, the light ring suddenly lit up with mottled and complicated patterns.
These patterns couldnt be described as anything else but strange. They were all intersected with each other but had this unimaginable swiftness.
Lin Yuan felt indescribably relaxed after passing through this simple and unadorned ring of light. In this relaxed state, Lin Yuan was actually able to sense the worlds spirit qi that was surrounding his body.
It was a kind of sensation that Lin Yuan hadnt felt since he had been eight years old when the copper bracelet had been stained with his blood and vanished without a trace.
When the copper bracelet had vanished, it hadnt just robbed his senses toward the worlds spirit qi, but it had also robbed his spiritual energy.
Presently, his spiritual energy might still be as dried up as before, but now, he could at least sense the spirit qi in the world.
His body had become so frail because he could no longer sense the worlds spirit qi.
After the Spirit Qi Awakening, spirit qi had become this worlds most fundamental energy. The planets native animals and plants had all been able to evolve toward two traits due to spirit qis influence.
One of the traits was to revert to their ancestors wild nature, enhancing the physical bodys capabilities. The other trait was to transform spiritually and focus on energy attacks.
As for humans, they had also developed spirit qi occupations under the influence of spirit qi. There were all sorts of spirit qi occupations, but they fundamentally used spirit qi to enhance the body.
Since Lin Yuan had stopped sensing spirit qi at the age of eight, he had no longer relied on spirit qi to improve his bodys capabilities. He had been relying on nature to grow and food to obtain energy.
Lin Yuan felt involuntarily excited. Although he didnt know why his body was unable to store spirit qi, he could at least sense its existence now. He might be able to absorb spirit qi at an appalling speed that no one had witnessed before, but the spirit qi that gathered in his body would quickly leak out of his hands.
His body was just like a funnel, and this was why Lin Yuan knew that he was destined to fail as a spirit qi professional. Despite the case that all spirit qi coursing through the body wouldnt remain, he would still be able to enhance his bodys capabilities through this process. This way, he would no longer have to consume medicine, which was meant to nurture his body.
Over the span of a year, he would be able to save up a huge sum of money. His young sister was already coming to the age that she could form a contract with her first fey.
With all the money that he saved up, he would be able to purchase a fey, which would be considered superior among Normal feys, for his young sister. In fact, he might be able to purchase a low-tier Elite fey.
This body can finally sense spirit qi! However Lin Yuan didnt finish the rest of the sentence.
Lin Yuan was always optimistic. However, even though he could sense spirit qi now, Lin Yuan felt it was a pity that his spiritual energy remained weak like before.
A century after the Spirit Qi Awakening, the spiritual energy was something that was as important as spirit qi.
Spirit qi professionals could form contracts with feys. Feys were sorted into healing-type, offense-type, defense-type, and support-type. Among them, offense-type and support-type feys were the most in numbers.
In order to form a contract with feys, one would require spiritual energy.
A regular person would be able to form contracts with two to three feys in a lifetime, and prodigies might be able to form up to five contracts.
Ones strength would undergo a significant increase with each additional fey. Nevertheless, the resources required to nurture an additional fey would also increase significantly.
In regard to feys, the most difficult aspect was to evolve them. The resources required for each evolution was far beyond what Lin Yuan, an owner of a small spirit store, could afford.
Lin Yuans spiritual energy was weak and frail, like a thread of hair. Back when Lin Yuan had formed contracts with domestic feys like the Hundred Questions Beast and the Sound Bird, he had fainted and had been unconscious for three full days.
After waking up, Lin Yuan had had a splitting headache for at least half a month. This had given Lin Yuan a direct cognition of how frail his spiritual energy was.
When he had been born, his spiritual energy hadnt been superior, but it hadnt been inferior either. His spiritual energy had become frail at the same time when he could no longer sense spirit qi. The reason that his spiritual energy had been weak was probably due to this copper bracelet.
This copper bracelet had transmigrated to this world along with him, but it was also the reason he had become weak and useless.
Lin Yuan couldnt help but have a complicated opinion of the copper bracelet.
At that moment, Lin Yuan could only feel his feet stepping on the grounds hard surface. When he looked up, Lin Yuan noticed he was in another spatial zone, which was around 40 square meters. The ground was copper in color within this spatial zone, and there was a five-meter or six-meter pool.
Apart from that, there was nothing else.
When Lin Yuan walked to the poolside, he noticed that the water was extremely clear, and it could reflect a youths face.
The pool wasnt deep, as it was only around half a meter in depth. Lin Yuan crouched down and scooped up a handful of water. He could feel that the water was mild in temperature. When he smelled the water, he realized that it was just regular water as it didnt contain spirit qi.
While pondering, Lin Yuan felt his wrist area becoming heavy. He noticed that his wrist was now wearing that simple and unadorned copper bracelet. At that moment, the copper bracelet emitted a trace of desire to communicate with him.
This desire to communicate contained feelings of fondness, timidness, and confusion. It felt just like a childs wisdom that had just been developed.
As soon as Lin Yuan used his consciousness to make contact with the copper bracelet, everything that Lin Yuan didnt understand ever since the age of eight had all been answered.
It turns out that this copper bracelet, which transmigrated with me, is actually a fey. When I was eight years old, I stained the copper bracelet with my blood and actually formed a contract with it because of my mistake. I actually formed a contract with a fey at the age of eight by accident!
Lin Yuan was in disbelief. He used his left hand to touch the copper bracelet that was on his right wrist, and immediately a wave of calmness washed over him, helping him recover from the state of instability. He now had a contracted fey too, and he might be able to earn much more money from now on.
Furthermore, his young sisters fey wouldnt need to be of the Normal or Elite grade anymore. If he worked hard, he might be able to give his younger sister a Bronze fey, right?
In fact, to a certain extent, only when a fey reached bronze-grade would it be considered as a true fey.
Previously, Lin Yuan had complicated thoughts toward this copper bracelet. However, after thinking it through, Lin Yuan understood why he only had a trace of spiritual energy, which had been just enough for him to lead a normal life for the past ten years.
He also understood why the copper bracelet had been silent and had not communicated with him for ten years.
The copper bracelet had been trying to protect the 8-year-old Lin Yuan, who hadnt had powerful spiritual energy. Thus, it had chosen to hibernate.
The hibernation had slowed down the contracts forming, so it had taken ten years to form the complete contract. Today was also the day when the copper bracelet awakened.
When it sensed Lin Yuans emotional reactions, the copper bracelet on his right wrist emitted a gentle feeling. It felt like it was trying to soothe or mentally hint for Lin Yuan to calm down.
Upon sensing that Lin Yuan was calming down, the copper bracelet tightened and secured itself firmly on Lin Yuans right wrist. It felt as though it was holding Lin Yuans hands tightly and saying, Pleased to meet you, Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan revealed a smile, which was like the sunshine during dawn that broke through the darkness. It was just like the rising suns silhouette behind the mountain.
The youth then said with a gentle and mild voice, Pleased to meet you, Morbius.
