Chapter 55 Then you'll have to spend 50 years with me!
Flora thought this situation would only last for today, but after seeing Lin Er's confirming expression, she fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Lin Er couldn't help but ask, "Is it that difficult to do?"
"It's not that difficult to do."
Flora hesitated.
"What difficulties could there be? I would be happy to help if I could."
After careful consideration, Flora decided that Lin Er was trustworthy and finally made her decision.
"I am currently at the A-level wind element affinity level. These wind elements will unconsciously gravitate towards me, but the range is not very large."
If we can further increase the affinity, all the wind elements within a radius of tens of meters will be drawn in.
Lin Er understood what Flora meant.
"You mean, you can increase elemental affinity?"
Flora shook her head and replied:
"I actually have a top-tier S-level wind element affinity, but I deliberately suppressed it to A-level."
Lin Er was startled. For him, A-level elemental affinity was already a distant dream, let alone S-level.
"That must be pretty amazing."
"That's right. As far as I know, there are very few A-level elemental affinity in the entire Blackrock Town, and I've never even heard of an S-level one. Sometimes, having too much talent isn't a good thing when you're out in the world."
Upon hearing this, Lin Er realized the seriousness of the matter and was flattered by Flora's trust, never expecting her to tell him so openly.
"I understand, I'll keep it a secret."
"Please keep this confidential."
Flora's expression was very serious, and it also carried a strong pleading tone.
Lin Er looked sincerely into Flora's eyes and made his promise to her again.
At the same time, he was also somewhat worried.
"If you restore your S-rank elemental affinity, wouldn't that be extremely dangerous?"
"Actually, elemental affinity is relatively easy to suppress. I have a treasure for suppressing it."
After saying that, Flora took out a silver ring from her bosom. It had a green gemstone set in it, but the luster was rather dull and it didn't look very eye-catching.
She then explained to Lin Er that pressing the gemstones takes an hour, so they cannot be removed casually.
This is why Flora wanted to confirm with Lin Er the duration of the abundant wind element.
"Don't worry, the wind element will be very strong these next few days."
"Okay, I believe you."
Flora immediately took off the ring, and almost at the same time, Lin Er felt a gentle breeze.
This is indoors, with all the doors and windows closed.
Under Lin Er's gaze, a gentle breeze swept towards Flora, making her golden hair flutter and her clothes dance, as if she were standing in the center of a tornado, exuding a heroic aura.
After a period of time, the whirlwind gradually subsided.
"The food is ready, let's eat."
Flora's sudden change of tone almost surprised Lin Er.
However, he did not forget the purpose of his visit, and while eating, he suggested to Flora that they share the cost of their meals.
Flora paused briefly to consider the suggestion.
"Then let's split it in half."
"You still have to spend time cooking, so why don't I contribute a little more?"
"No need. Cooking one serving or two servings of rice makes no difference to me. Besides, with you helping to share the expenses, my food costs are actually reduced."
"Won't this make things too hard for you?"
"Are you underestimating elves? Besides, I've recently discovered that cooking can actually be quite fun."
"Judging from your expression, you really do seem to be enjoying it."
"I'm prepared to spend 50 years becoming a master in this field."
50 years? Flora naively uttered an incredible statement.
She made such a significant decision so easily, considering that life doesn't offer many 50-year periods.
Lin Er saw Flora's nonchalant demeanor, as if this was something very easy for her.
Speaking of which, as an elf, she has a lifespan of a thousand years, and now she is so young, so a mere 50 years is really nothing. Is this the confidence of an immortal species?
Flora also noticed Lin's unusual behavior and asked:
"What's wrong? You seem surprised?"
"It's nothing, I wish you become a master chef soon."
"Then you'll have to stay with me for 50 years, okay?"
Ok?
Lin Er was taken aback, but seeing Flora's calm demeanor, he realized that there were differences between elves and humans, and that he had been overthinking things.
He thought for a moment, then replied with a smile, "Then you'll have to cook for me for 50 years."
Flora was taken aback when she heard this. This time she realized what she had just said. That sentence was completely ambiguous in human society, and a blush immediately flashed across her face.
"Please don't misunderstand, I'm cooking for you because you're my companion."
"I understand, don't worry."
"I'm not in a hurry."
When Lin Er saw Flora's pretty face turn bright red, it was the first time he had ever seen Flora so shy, and he found it rather amusing.
He didn't provoke her further, and lowered his head to eat in silence.
Flora gradually calmed down.
After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Er returned home, intending to cultivate for a little while before resting.
He sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, silently sensing the spiritual energy gathering around him.
Because he had already used the formation, Lin Er had long ago discovered that the speed at which spiritual energy gathered was very uniform, and it would gradually stop once it reached a certain upper limit.
This time, Lin Er noticed that the Spirit Gathering Array was gathering spiritual energy faster than usual, which puzzled him slightly.
He didn't replace the spiritual objects in the five elements positions of the formation with better ones. Logically speaking, the gathering speed shouldn't suddenly increase just because he went out for a trip.
"Could it be because Flora just absorbed wind element?"
Lin Er vaguely guessed what was going on. His Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array just happened to not need the wind element, which explained why there was a large amount of wind element gathering nearby.
In this way, Flora essentially helped him solve a small problem.
At the same time, Lin Er also thought of a problem.
"Could it be that the gathered spiritual energy was all converted from elemental power by the formation?"
Lin Er suddenly realized something. If that was the case, then he couldn't use elemental power directly; he needed to convert it beforehand.
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that this was the right answer, and he gained a deeper understanding of the world.
Several days have passed.
Lin Er diligently cultivated every day, and since acquiring the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array, his cultivation speed had increased by leaps and bounds. However, because he was refining spiritual energy so quickly, he suddenly found himself running out of it.
Low-grade spirit stones contain little spiritual energy, while Peiyuan Pills contain more, but neither mid-grade nor high-grade spirit stones can compare to top-grade spirit stones.
He simply swallowed five or six Qi-cultivating pills at once, along with some spirit stones, to reach the level where he could cultivate a full cycle of Qi.
In just a few days, all the Qi-Nourishing Pills he had refined himself, as well as those extracted from his monthly salary, were completely used up.
Now only a few spirit stones remain.
Lin Er could also sense that his progress in Qi Refining Level 3 had increased by more than half. When his monthly salary was paid again next time, he would definitely be able to break through to Qi Refining Level 4.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
……
Ever since Luna learned that Lin Er had obtained the Silver Badge, she found Gareth's behavior increasingly strange.
Instead of going directly to Lin Er, she went to Rose Bay, a place Gareth frequented, and found her brother's old flame.
Luna spent a sum of money, along with coercion and enticement, to get this woman to gather information from her brother.
A few days have passed.
Luna finally found out the specific information: that idiot Gareth, in his drunken state, blurted out everything.
It turns out that Lin Er did indeed obtain the Silver Badge, but he did so through the Raven family because Miss Ellie was very fond of him.
"So it turns out he used connections; my stupid brother was trying to scam me."
I almost fell for it.
