Chapter 538: Chapter 221 Enchantnt_2
“`
“So…”
“That’s why I sought you out for the upcoming competition.”
“And just as expected, you won!”
At this point, Ji Xiyue looked up, staring straight at Lin Jing before speaking,
“To truly confirm your identity, it was actually just now…”
“Just now?”
Lin Jing’s brows furrowed slightly as sothing seed to dawn on him.
“Yes, just now…”
“When I asked you earlier, didn’t you respond?”
“What could be more genuine than you admitting your own identity with your own lips?”
“Isn’t that right, the heir of the Lin Family, the long-established family of the Ancient Alchemy Path, Lin Jing!”
At this, Ji Xiyue laughed again, her eyes curving like crescent moons. She seed very pleased, almost like a little fox that had stolen a chicken…
Lin Jing found himself at a loss for words, not expecting it to be like this; he had been outwitted by this woman.
“So you’ve been uncertain all along, always just probing ?” Lin Jing said, his face darkening.
Ji Xiyue nodded and spoke to Lin Jing,
“Yes, it’s exactly like that!”
After finishing, Ji Xiyue didn’t forget to console Lin Jing,
“But you don’t have to worry about it. Whether or not you admit it, it doesn’t make much difference.”
“After all…”
“The Elixir dicine you’ve concocted doesn’t lie,”
“Since I had my suspicions, I would surely use all ans to collect evidence and confirm your identity.”
Hearing this, Lin Jing looked up at Ji Xiyue.
Ji Xiyue hurriedly said,
“Don’t look at like that…”
“You should understand that it’s not just — as long as you continue alchemy, soone will always be skeptical.”
“Your identity won’t stay hidden for long.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing also fell silent.
He understood this truth all too well.
He needed Elixir dicine to enhance his cultivation, and those around him needed them as well. The more Elixir dicines he produced, the more inevitable it was that flaws would be exposed, greatly increasing the chances of being discovered.
But that didn’t an he could afford to give up on Alchemy for fear of choking.
Moreover, Lin Jing, aside from practicing the Alchemy Techniques of the Lin Family, also had access to the System Space.
And the Alchemy Dao of the Lin Family could serve as a cover for the existence of the System Space, preventing unnecessary suspicion.
Therefore, he was determined to continue with alchemy.
What Lin Jing could do was to try his best not to concoct Elixir dicines in front of others, thereby delaying the ti of exposure.
“So that’s the first question asked, right?” Ji Xiyue said, addressing Lin Jing.
Lin Jing nodded and answered,
“Yes…”
“I’ve finished asking the first question.”
Then, Lin Jing turned to Ji Xiyue to say,
“Now, onto the second question.”
“What is your true intention in doing this?”
…
…
“I want to take you as my master and beco your disciple!!!”
Ji Xiyue looked directly at Lin Jing and said it straight out.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing’s eyebrows imdiately knitted together, then he answered,
“Impossible…”
“You should know, the Alchemy Techniques aren’t sothing to be passed on lightly.”
“Moreover, since you have your own Sect, it’s even less likely that I would take you as my disciple.”
However, Ji Xiyue’s next words left Lin Jing completely silent.
“What if I leave the Xingluo Elixir Sect, would you take on then?”
The top talent of the Xingluo Elixir Sect planning to leave…
Even if Ji Xiyue dared to leave, Lin Jing wouldn’t dare to accept her as a disciple.
Furthermore, Ji Xiyue’s father was the Grand Elder of the Xingluo Elixir Sect—could she even manage to leave if she wished to?
Lin Jing looked at Ji Xiyue and saw that she was gazing back at him, her expression extrely serious.
Lin Jing couldn’t help but feel a sinking feeling,
“Could Ji Xiyue really be considering leaving the Xingluo Elixir Sect to beco my disciple?”
Then, Lin Jing quickly shook his head, outright refusing,
“That’s not possible…”
“`
“You are the first genius Alchemist of the Xingluo Elixir Sect, how could you possibly take as your master? If you were to suddenly beco my disciple, not to ntion the other mbers of the Xingluo Elixir Sect, I’m afraid even your father would not let off the hook,”
However, at this mont, Ji Xiyue took a step forward, approaching Lin Jing and whispered softly:
“How about I secretly beco your disciple?”
“To the outside world we would still be considered fellow Daoists, but if there are no outsiders around, you would be my master. If Master wants to do anything at that ti, I won’t have any problems with it…”
“As long as you pass on so Alchemy Techniques to , that would be enough…”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing suddenly turned his head to look at Ji Xiyue.
And Ji Xiyue, not avoiding his gaze at all, looked into Lin Jing’s eyes with so longing…
This eye contact between the two lasted for a full quarter of an hour.
Not until a quarter of an hour later did Ji Xiyue lower her head with a blushing face.
And Lin Jing’s expression had beco much colder:
“Ji Daoyou…”
“I think there’s nothing left to talk about between us.”
On hearing this, Ji Xiyue’s face turned slightly red as she bowed her hands towards Lin Jing:
“Lin Daoyou, I’m sorry…”
“It was presumptuous of . I will definitely not use any charm enchantnts on Lin Daoyou again.”
…
In fact.
The reason Ji Xiyue acted the way she did was because she practiced a kind of charm enchantnt.
This charm enchantnt was different from others. It slowly infiltrated the sea of consciousness and subtly changed so of a person’s thoughts.
Most people would not notice it.
The reason Lin Jing suddenly changed his attitude was because he discovered Ji Xiyue was secretly using the charm enchantnt on him.
And Ji Xiyue’s objective, needless to say, was directly aid at the Lin Family’s Alchemy Techniques.
Originally, that charm enchantnt should have been very difficult for Lin Jing to detect.
Only, Lin Jing’s Divine Sense was extrely powerful. Although his Cultivation was only at the seventh layer of Nascent Soul, his Divine Sense had long surpassed Ji Xiyue’s and reached the Nascent Soul Peak Stage.
It was precisely because his Divine Sense was so strong that Lin Jing was not influenced by Ji Xiyue and was able to detect the inappropriateness.
Moreover, Ji Xiyue seed to be too hasty in her action, which was also too irrational.
Such behavior from Ji Xiyue had touched Lin Jing’s bottom line, thus his face turned cold at that mont.
…
After that.
Seeing that Lin Jing’s expression did not improve, Ji Xiyue quickly spoke up to explain:
“Lin Daoyou, it was indeed my fault just now, and I apologize to you.”
“In fact, my goal was not to beco your disciple, and I know that to ask you to be my master is impossible.”
“I just wanted you to help repair the incomplete technique I had previously obtained.”
“As long as Lin Daoyou can help repair that technique, whatever you need, just say it, and I will try my best to satisfy your request.”
When Lin Jing looked at Ji Xiyue again, his expression was indifferent as he spoke directly:
“Ji Daoyou…”
“I think you have misunderstood. Between us, there is only the wager on those three questions. Besides that, there are no other ties.”
“Also, it seems you have overestimated .”
“The books of Ancient Alchemy Path handed down from ancient tis are not sothing anyone can repair.”
“Well then…”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now, farewell!”
After saying that, Lin Jing began to walk down the mountain.
At this mont, Ji Xiyue quickly spoke up and called out to Lin Jing:
“Lin Jing…”
“There’s still one question you haven’t asked…”
However, without turning back, Lin Jing replied:
“No need, it’s no longer necessary.”
Then, without any pause, Lin Jing continued down the mountain.
Only after Lin Jing had been gone for a long ti…
Did Ji Xiyue, who had been staring at his departing figure, finally snap back to reality.
Looking in the direction where Lin Jing had gone, Ji Xiyue furrowed her brows and after a while, muttered to herself:
“It’s over now, he’s really angry…”
Then, glancing down the mountain again and not seeing that familiar figure, she imdiately looked dejected.
After a while, Ji Xiyue said indignantly:
“Ji Xiyue, how could you be so foolish to think of using charm enchantnts on a descendant of the Ancient Alchemy Path with strong Divine Sense.”
“Now look what you’ve done, you’ve ssed it all up…”
Afterward, Ji Xiyue’s brows furrowed again as she looked up in the direction Lin Jing had left:
“Looks like it’s going to take a lot of effort to nd my relationship with him from now on…”
