It had been raining non-stop for 24 hours, and the already hot and humid summer day made it hard to breathe.
A skinny and sunny youth was fiddling with an old artificial intelligence phone for a long time before the phone turned on.
Lin Yuan let out a breath of relief. It was fortunate that the phone wasn't broken. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to handle a new phone.
After the phone turned on, Lin Yuan logged into the Fey Web that he frequented previously. He realized that his account actually had 99 + replies, and he had merely replied to one question.
Last night, when he was sleeping, Lin Yuan saw a thread asking what to do after getting bitten by a Ghost Shadow Bristled Spider. Lin Yuan replied as a matter of course.
"Don't panic after getting bitten by a Ghost Shadow Bristled Spider. Drink more hot water and Radix Isatidis Root before cleaning the wound. Find a shady and ventilated place to lie down under the shade of a tree to prevent the corpse from smelling. If your finances allow it, it is best to place a mat under your body."
After looking through all sorts of replies, Lin Yuan heard the sound of a thin rope, and a grayish-black kitten pounced on Lin Yuan's leg.
Just as the kitten pounced on Lin Yuan's leg, the sound of flapping wings echoed from nearby. A green sparrow-like bird perched on Lin Yuan's shoulder and chirped twice.
Lin Yuan quickly put down the phone and spoke to the grayish-black kitten on his leg.
"Smart, what's the store's temperature now?"
The kitten on Lin Yuan's leg flopped and opened its mouth before replying with a childish voice.
"The temperature inside is 34 degrees Celsius. Lin Yuan, you should go and ventilate now!"
When Lin Yuan heard it, he quickly carried the grayish-black kitten and ran downstairs with the chirping green bird on his shoulder.
The sky was just starting to brighten, but Lin Yuan had already opened the window and walked to the flower rack.
At that moment, the grayish-black kitten spoke again.
"Lin Yuan, take your medicine first!"
Lin Yuan quickly stopped and went to pour some water.
At that moment, the green bird on his shoulder had already brought the medicine tablet over.
Lin Yuan took the pill from the cyan bird and tossed it into his mouth. He then drank the water in the cup in one gulp.
At that moment, the green bird couldn't help but want to sing, but Lin Yuan quickly covered its mouth.
"Yinyin, don't attract Auntie Zhang next door when you sing now!"
The kitten on Lin Yuan's lap and the little bird that could sing on his shoulder looked rather mystical. However, 100 years after the Spirit Qi Awakening, the grayish-black kitten and the cyan bird were the most ordinary existences in the world. Almost everyone had one of them.
The kitten was called Genius. It was a Hundred Questions Beast. It was like a walking book with a hundred whys. It could also take on the role of a simple housekeeper. It could be considered a housekeeping beast.
However, compared to the White Question Beasts on the market, this greyish-black kitten was thin and small, as if it was malnourished. This was the truth.
Lin Yuan's Hundred Questions Beast was one of the cubs that the female Hundred Questions Beast had given birth to. Due to the uneven color of its fur, it looked like it was dirty and had not been able to be sold.
As such, the boss reduced the price by half, giving Lin Yuan a bargain.
The birds that could sing were called Sound Birds. It was rare to see Sound Birds being sold in the market. That was because most of the birds sold in the market were Songstress Birds, which were an advanced form of Sound Birds.
The Songstress Bird was like a living music player. A smart Songstress Bird could learn more than a hundred songs.
The cyan sparrow-like Sound Bird on Lin Yuan's shoulder was a Sound Bird that had failed to evolve into a Songstress Bird.
When the spirit pet boss saw that Lin Yuan was hesitating when buying the Hundred Questions Beast, he used this Sound Bird as a bargaining chip and gave it to Lin Yuan.
Under Lin Yuan's guidance for the past two years, the Sound Bird already knew how to sing a song.
Chimey was this little Sound Bird, and when it came home, it would always be dejected.
All living things had spirits and could naturally feel everything around them. Therefore, Lin Yuanming would always praise Chimey, slowly building up Chimey's confidence.
Especially after Chimey learned a song, it would become lively.
A malnourished and abandoned Hundred Questions Beast, a Sound Bird that had failed to evolve and was treated as trash, and a thin and weak youth.
The three of them looked rather 'weak', but they were managing the fey store that his parents had left behind in an orderly manner.
After consuming the medicine, Lin Yuan walked to the flower bed and carefully removed the black cloth that was drying on the flower bed.
Five succulent plants that looked like lotuses were growing in the clay pot. They were emerald-green in color and had a faint fragrance that was almost undetectable.
After carefully inspecting the five Jasmine Lilies, Lin Yuan couldn't help but let out a sigh when he saw one of them.
One of the Jasmine Lilies' leaves had turned soft. When will this hot weather end?
The Jasmine Lily was a commonly seen healing-type spirit plant.
100 years after the Spirit Qi Awakening, all living things in the world had been influenced by spirit qi and were evolving and mutating.
The Jasmine Lily was a type of succulent plant before the Spirit Qi Awakening, and it was one of them. It was considered a commonly seen healing-type spirit plant.
If it was placed at home and accidentally cut one's finger while cutting vegetables, one just had to place the Jasmine Lily at the bedside, and the cut on the finger would be as good as new the next day.
Of course, there were spirit qi professionals that would choose the Jasmine Lily as a contracted fey. However, the Jasmine Lily was a low-grade fey, and it was very difficult for it to evolve.
The five pots of Jasmine Lilies in Lin Yuan's store were all normal-grade.
If they surpassed elite-grade and reached bronze-grade, the Jasmine Lily would be on par with other healing-type spirit plants of the same grade.
Everything was conserved, and people despised low-grade feys because it was truly difficult for them to evolve.
However, if a low-grade fey could constantly evolve into a high-grade fey, Lin Yuan had heard rumors that it would be able to suppress other high-grade feys of the same grade in certain aspects.
The rise of a low-grade fey was like a small character that slowly climbed up the clouds from the dust. It wasn't like a high-grade fey that was born to be at the peak.
High-grade feys could also evolve, and it was much easier for them to evolve as compared to low-grade feys.
Therefore, very few people would nurture low-grade feys. With the resources to nurture low-grade feys, it was possible to nurture a few high-grade feys at the same time.
Take the Hundred Questions Beast and the Songstress Bird for example, almost everyone had one.
However, in the 100 years of the Spirit Qi Awakening, no one had heard of the Hundred Questions Beast and the Songstress Bird evolving.
After carefully tending to the five pots of Jasmine Lilies and burying them with nutrient-rich ores, Lin Yuan was already panting slightly even though he didn't do much work.
Lin Yuan's store might be a store, but there were only two types of spirit plants — five pots of Jasmine Lilies and over a dozen pots of Usneas.
The Usneas couldn't even be considered a Normal fey and were considered a variant of the Usneas before the Spirit Qi Awakening.
It eliminated the slight toxicity in the body and increased the nutrition content and growth speed of the vines.
This also made the Usneas the best fodder for low-grade herbivores or omnivores.
The dozen pots of Usneas would give Lin Yuan 100 one-meter-long vines every day.
Lin Yuan looked at the pots of Usneas like an old mother and didn't bother tending to them.
He said, "I still have to rely on these pots of Usneas to maintain my daily life. It is considered an unexpected surprise to sell one pot of Jasmine Lily."
However, Lin Yuan, who was looking at the Usneas like an old mother, didn't have any intention to tend to them. Instead, he put all his attention on the five pots of Jasmine Lilies.
