...
Still quite handy.
He remembered the two aloof women reportedly from the Frost Ancient Kingdom, murmuring to himself.
Considering they are both from the Dan Dong Empire, he decided not to ask too much, that'll be the end of it, maintaining a smiling face and bidding goodbyes.
Little did he know, Lin Suo also sighed in relief internally.
If coaxing didn't work, this person was insatiably greedy.
If not careful, he might have turned into an unprofitable, fame-seeking assassin. It's best for young people to keep honest.
Especially in a situation where prosperity could follow mere survival.
Lin Suo was unwilling to take risks.
Adapting to the rules was the right thing to do. Once his capabilities were fully developed, he'd eventually enjoy freedom. Moreover, he wasn't a troublemaker by nature.
...
Half a month since arrival, today was the day Lin Suo left Charon to head for the Dan Dong Empire.
Although Carl was greedy and lustful, his efficiency in handling affairs was commendable.
Only three days had passed since the last bribe,
and he had already arranged all the documents for Lin Suo.
Everything was authentic,
including the birthplace, which Lin Suo had chosen as a remote fishing village in the Dan Dong Empire for easier fabrication and to explain his unfamiliarity with the Dan Dong people's etiquette and rules.
In Dan Dong.
As a well-known commercial empire.
Everything can be bought with money, including the Wizard's Meditation Method!!
What's circulating outside, definitely isn't the good stuff.
But Lin Suo didn't mind; if it wasn't good, he could make it good. The problem was primarily money.
To make money, one basically had to address clothing, food, shelter, and transportation.
Making money from nobility could also involve entertainment, medicine, and antique jewelry, simultaneously attaining a certain social status.
Purchase the Meditation Method, and peacefully cultivate.
As for joining a Wizard Organization, Lin Suo hardly stood a chance, he had done his research.
Wizard Organizations usually cultivate apprentices with potential from a young age, and they do not want someone as old as Lin Suo.
Whether he had the talent was irrelevant in his opinion.
"Eating books" would ensure he learned the Meditation Method.
The trait of inevitable progress signifies that even without wizardly talents, the Magic Cube can make him a wizard through the diligence rewards method.
Exploiting bugs is just about getting used to them.
This day.
Getting on the carriage arranged by Carl, Lin Suo had almost nothing, his luggage was merely meat, still just meat.
Not even a few clothes.
The money for initial expenses was about 30 gold coins, most of which Carl had embezzled, causing him great distress.
And yet, he had to be dependent on others.
The carriage route would pass through Snow Province of the Magma Kingdom, the entire way was smooth.
Passing through three kingdoms, large and small, the total journey would take up to a month.
The accompanying, other than the coachman and two Knight Attendants as guards, was no one else.
It was said that these three were only with him because they had a bad time at the embassy and were ostracized sending him, with no plans to return after reaching the Dan Dong Empire.
Transit documents and identification, all were held in Lin Suo's own hands.
Once they entered the empire's border, they would split up.
Lin Suo had already selected his destination after studying the map of the Dan Dong Empire, keeping a low profile all the way, never showing his face.
Only at night would he go out, wandering around nearby desolate mountains or forests, using his Medical Skill to gather herbs and improve his skill level.
Meanwhile, he collected some raw materials, and once by himself, he would start developing the [Logical Synthesis] plan.
His Knight training was also never neglected, training during the day and night, only sleeping four hours a day.
He was truly the ultimate workaholic.
Even the two young Knight Attendants got itchy to try after seeing him, followed him in training for a few days, couldn't feel the effect, but their bodies ached even more, eventually they simply gave up.
To this, Lin Suo turned a blind eye.
Everyone had no close relations, you live your life, I live mine, the only reason they came together was the entry documents.
Under these circumstances, as time passed.
Lin Suo has made significant progress.
The Moon Disk Breathing Technique is a relatively low-level breathing skill, yet it excels in being well-rounded.
For the ordinary version, cultivators of the same realm can be described as mediocre in all aspects.
Lin Suo's enhanced Break Limit version, when placed in the same realm, belongs to the absolute top tier.
Strength, agility, and constitution all greatly improved.
His body became more robust; full of energy every day, a single punch could easily kill a cow.
With higher energy, the consumption for synthesis also reduced. (Canyon Relativity)
Synthesizing mundane items every day, it takes hundreds of times before feeling tired.
Mainly used in synthesizing Super Supple Meat.
Occasionally encountering some beasts, it was always him who took action and slaughtered them for a feast.
Training close combat fighting skills.
This person, almost at a visibly rapid pace, became sharp and efficient; a month of long journey added a bit of agedness for no reason.
Kept himself neat and tidy.
Took many baths along the road.
Finally.
After a month, the Dan Dong Empire was reached!
"Scan"
[Lin Suo]
[Age: 19 (72)]
[Talent: Synthesize All Things]
[Rank: Upper Knight (12/100)]
[Transcendent: Moon Disk Breathing Technique (Red)]
[Skill: None]
[Art: Padolon Universal Language (Red), Elf Language (50/100), Medicine +2 (69/100)]
[Status: Healthy, Energetic]
Breaking through to Upper Knight, a status of energetic was added, to put it commonly, he can stay awake for seven days and nights.
This is just mentally unsustainable, but his body remains active.
Besides these.
In the dead of night, he also figured out many medicinal recipes, first through Medical Skill, planning the pharmacological pairing.
Then by using the Logical Synthesis method, directly making medicine, and from the same types using the Stacked Synthesis method, making an enhanced version.
Hemostatic, tonic, refreshing, body replenishing.
Various prepared medicines, packed a big bag.
All were common herbs picked on the road, but after synthesis, their medical potency increased several times.
Ordinary people really couldn't handle it.
Only a Knight's body could withstand the potency.
It has some commonalities with Wizard-made Magic Potions and witchcraft compounds; it can be considered a trick.
But there is a limit.
Lin Suo once tried to continuously synthesize a supplement, inputting hundreds of common herbs, and then reached a limit.
The limit of Stacked Synthesis is one hundred!
A hundred doses of medicine stacked up, still did not produce some kind of transcendent power, it merely made his nose bleed.
If diluted, using fifty herbs for synthesis.
It could probably sell for a good price in a noble's household, but long-term supply could easily attract attention. Without obtaining the Wizard Meditation Method, even if reaching the peak of the Knight's Path.
It's hard to say if one could have the ability to protect oneself; a spiritual system witchcraft could incapacitate a Peak Knight thoroughly.
Thus, it's wise to lay low and develop discreetly.
At the border of Dan Dong Empire.
After submitting documents and getting verified.
The trio then headed together to the nearest small town before parting ways.
Inside the Dan Dong Empire, although predominantly inhabited by yellow-skinned people.
There is no shortage of people from other races.
White-skinned, black-skinned, even Half-Beast, Goblin, and Elf are not uncommon.
Thanks to the open national policy.
Dan Dong is almost the most racially mixed empire on this continent, where merchants of all races can be found.
