Chapter 156: Visit from the Wang Pill Master
Translator: 549690339
Since Lin Jing’s last assessnt, half a month had passed in the blink of an eye.
During this half month, aside from alchemy, Lin Jing took ti to visit Yuebaolou to purchase so ingredients for refining Second Rank Elixir dicines.
This practice was actually a deliberate decision on his part.
When others knew that he had purchased a large quantity of Second Rank alchemy ingredients, they would assu his elixirs were amassed through quantity, which would prevent them from suspecting his alchemy skills.
In fact, there was another reason—he was quite short on Spirit Stones, and the scarcity of Third Rank Spirit Plants had kept their prices exorbitantly high.
Just a few days ago, a Third Rank Spirit Plant had appeared in Yuebaolou, which was a supplent for refining Cultivation True Elixirs.
Moreover, although the quality of this Spirit Plant wasn’t the best, it ca with its rootstock, perfect for planting in the System Space.
However, that Spirit Plant was too expensive, demanding 2,000 dium Grade Spirit Stones.
And Lin Jing, after counting everything, had just over 1,000, far from enough.
Thus, Lin Jing had no choice but to utilize his identity as the Elixir Valley Heir once more, preparing to sell a large amount of elixir dicines.
So, purchasing these materials, however you looked at it, was never going to be a loss for him.
After this half month, the assessnt for Pill Master Offering Priests had already concluded.
Unfortunately, two people failed to pass the assessnt and had their Offering Priest status revoked by Steward Zheng; they had no choice but to move and reside at the Fang Market.
Nevertheless, even though they lost their status as Offering Priests for Yuebaolou, it wasn’t a big deal; their alchemy skills were quite good to begin with, they were just unlucky.
After leaving Yuebaolou, they could still continue as Offering Priests elsewhere.
Recently, many of the smaller clans outside the Fang Market had extended olive branches to them.
Apart from Pill Masters, the stewards also assessed other Offering Priests. Such as Talisman Masters, Artifact Refiners, Beast Taming Masters, and so on…
The assessnts for these Offering Priests were in full swing these past few days, and it was said that several people had already lost their Offering Priest status and left Yuebaolou.
On this day…
Lin Jing was sitting cross-legged in the Alchemy Room within the System Space.
In front of him was the Fire teor Four-Pattern Furnace, with no firewood beneath it as the fire burned spontaneously.
This was indeed the Foundation Building True Fire that Lin Jing was applying.
No wonder Brother Han Jing had specially reminded him to diligently practice this Controlling Fire Technique.
It turned out that using the Controlling Fire Technique to control the Foundation Building True Fire made the process exceptionally smooth.
With the enhancent of the Controlling Fire Technique, handling the Foundation Building True Fire beca more convenient and also reduced ntal exhaustion.
If he were to directly control the Foundation Building True Fire for alchemy, Lin Jing would need six hours to recover after refining a batch of Elixir Furnace dicine.
But with the use of the Controlling Fire Technique, Lin Jing would only need four hours to fully recover after refining a batch.
Continuing with this approach, Lin Jing persistently applied the Controlling Fire Technique to refine the Elixir dicine in the furnace.
Soon, the fragrance of elixirs wafted out. Lin Jing quickly channeled Spiritual Power toward the Foundation Building True Fire at the bottom of the furnace, which then “roared” as it grew a few sizes larger.
Now was the critical mont for the final consolidation of the elixirs.
But just at that mont…
All of a sudden, a warning from the System rang out.
“Warning! Soone has intruded into the alert periter, please respond promptly, Host.”
The System warning sounded, causing Lin Jing’s output of Spiritual Power to the Foundation Building True Fire to falter abruptly, making the fire shrink montarily.
Lin Jing quickly recovered, hastening his output of Spiritual Power.
The Foundation Building True Fire once again resud its intensity.
Lin Jing frowned, displeased with the interruption at such a ti.
He had specifically ntioned to Huang Qingling to avoid disturbing his alchemy during their last gathering.
He had said that he would seek her out himself if he needed anything.
Huang Qingling had also nodded in agreent, which is why there had been no disturbances during this period.
Therefore, the person seeking Lin Jing at this mont was likely soone else.
However, as it was a crucial mont in alchemy, he could not afford to be distracted.
Shortly after, the Elixir dicine finally took shape. At this mont, a prompt from the System followed suit.
“Ding”
“System Notification: Congratulations to the host for refining the Pure Elixir and obtaining a reward: 10 Harvest Points.”
“Elixir refinent successful, alchemy proficiency 30.” (Note: You are currently a third-rank Alchemist, when refining lower-grade elixirs, proficiency increase is halved.)
After finishing the elixir refinent, Lin Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Lin Jing took the elixir out of the Pill Furnace and, from his Storage Bag, he pulled out a Pure Jade Box and placed the Pure Elixir inside it.
Having done all this, Lin Jing spoke again.
“System, activate Observation Mode.”
As soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, his perspective switched to Observation Mode and started to ascend until it was above the small courtyard.
Afterward, Lin Jing maneuvered the viewpoint to the entrance and was surprised to find that it was Wang, the Pill Master, standing at his front door.
Lin Jing, using Observation Mode, watched him as he reached out to knock again.
“Lin Daoyou, are you ho?”
Lin Jing observed Wang, the Pill Master, and pondered:
“I’m not familiar with this person, what could he want?”
Seeing that there was still no response from inside, the Pill Master nad Wang frowned and couldn’t help muttering to himself:
“Strange?” “Is no one ho?”
“That can’t be right…’
Watching Wang, the Pill Master, behave this way, Lin Jing decided to go out and ask what the visitor’s purpose truly was.
Then, Lin Jing spoke once more.
“System, exit Observation Mode and leave the System Space.”
This ti, the scene before Lin Jing shifted once again, and he found himself back in the room.
Lin Jing opened the door and walked out of the house.
No sooner had he stepped through the door than he heard Wang, the Pill Master, still calling out:
“Lin Daoyou, are you at ho? Wang has co for a visit.”
“He’s really persistent…” Lin Jing couldn’t help thinking to himself.
Then, as he arrived at the courtyard door, Lin Jing reached out to open it and saw Wang, the Pill Master.
“Wang Daoyou…”
“May I know what brings you here today?”
Lin Jing’s expression was calm; he didn’t display any additional emotions.
Upon seeing Lin Jing, Wang, the Pill Master’s, face lit up with joy:
“Lin Daoyou, so you are ho. I’ve been knocking for quite a while, I thought you weren’t in.”
“If Lin Daoyou hadn’t shown up, I was about to leave.”
Lin Jing responded directly:
“I was in, I was just refining elixirs; it was at a critical mont, so I was delayed a bit.”
Hearing this, Wang, the Pill Master, imdiately grew anxious and hastened to say:
“Lin Daoyou, how is it going? Your batch of elixirs is unhard, I hope…”
After speaking, Wang, the Pill Master, slapped his forehead:
“That was thoughtless of …”
“I should have realized sooner…”
“Why do I always interrupt Lin Daoyou during your alchemy, last ti at the assessnt, and this ti as well…”
Observing Wang, the Pill Master, looking so remorseful, Lin Jing made no comnt and stated indifferently:
“It’s fine…”
Wang, the Pill Master, put a hand over his heart and said:
“Good, good… as long as it’s fine.”
“If my doing caused Lin Daoyou to fail at alchemy again, my sin would be great. ”
At this point, Lin Jing asked again:
“May I ask what Wang Daoyou seeks for?”
