Chapter 54: Fang Market Mission
Translator: 549690339
The beast tide this ti lasted a full two days.
However, thanks to the defensive array, they managed to keep the beast tide outside the Fang Market, preventing any impact on the market itself.
But still, many people were unable to survive the beast tide, dying at the mouths of the demonic beasts.
After the beast tide, many empty courtyards appeared on the outskirts of the market. Those people had, without exception, all died on the battlefield fighting against the beast tide.
Even the alley where Lin Jing resided saw three households change owners.
Of course.
So people, because of their brave performance during the fight against the beast tide, received handso rewards.
These individuals, all smiles, swaggered about, forming a stark contrast with the bereaved families of those who had perished.
It wasn’t until this day that an announcent was once again issued by the Fang Market.
The beast tide hadn’t ceased, and investigations into the Night Mist Mountain Range showed signs of demonic beasts gathering once more.
To resist the next beast tide, starting from today, all cultivators within the Fang Market were to contribute their effort in the fight.
As soon as the announcent went out, there was an uproar, many people started to worry about being drafted to fight against the demonic beasts.
But now, other than the Fang Market, there probably wasn’t a safer place within thousands of miles.
Of course, so would say that the Qingyuan Sword Sect was safer, but the Qingyuan Sword Sect was not about to take in these people.
Therefore, they could only stand united at the back of the Fang Market, to resist the beast tide together.
In the afternoon, Manager Jiang ca here.
“Lin Daoyou,” Manager Jiang said with a smile as he greeted Lin Jing.
Lin Jing spoke directly, “Manager Jiang, I’ve seen the announcent. What do I need to do this ti? Please speak frankly.”
Since Lin Daoyou is so straightforward, I’ll get to the point,” he said.
“The beast tide that’s gathering now is expected to be even more ferocious. It’s no longer enough to just pay Spirit Stones; every person has to exert effort.” As he said this, Manager Jiang leaned in closer, lowering his voice a bit:
“I know Lin Daoyou is an alchemist, so I have registered you as a Pill Master with the managent of the Fang Market.”
“From now on, Lin Daoyou only needs to focus on alchemy, there’s no need for you to go to the frontline to fight against the demonic beasts.”
“Thank you, Manager Jiang,” Lin Jing said as he bowed in gratitude.
Fighting on the frontline was extrely perilous, and with Lin Jing’s level of cultivation, he likely wouldn’t survive even the first day.
In such a chaotic battlefield, even having the System Space would be of no help, after all, he couldn’t just stay hidden within the System Space, could he?
Besides, entering the System Space had a limited duration, once the ti was up, he would be transported out, and by then, he would certainly be dood.
This Manager Jiang, although Lin Jing didn’t have a very good impression of him when they first t, he found him to be not so bad after several encounters.
“Then, Manager Jiang, are there any restrictions on the elixir-making?” inquired Lin Jing.
Of course, there are,” Manager Jiang nodded.
“You are a First-Grade Alchemist, so the market has set a requirent for you to submit 150 First Rank Elixir dicines each month, of course, you won’t have to provide the alchemy ingredients.”
“The market will prepare 200 portions of alchemy ingredients for you every month for your use. If you’ve used up all 200 portions of alchemy ingredients and still haven’t t the requirent, you will be sent to the frontline to fight the demonic beasts.”
Additionally, the Elixir dicines you produce must be at least of dium
Grade or higher in quality; Low Grade elixir dicines won’t be counted.”
150 Elixir dicines a month was certainly a lot, and with the added restriction on the quality of the Elixir dicines, probably only those veteran alchemists could fulfill the demand.
Those novice alchemists with only a year or two of experience usually had a success rate of only about thirty percent. With 200 portions of ingredients used up, it would likely be very difficult to et the requirent.
Not to ntion the restriction on the quality of the Elixir dicines.
“Lin Daoyou, is there a problem?”
After speaking, Manager Jiang stepped forward again, approaching and speaking in a low voice:
“If you find that you can’t complete the task during your alchemy process, you can go to the shops within the Fang Market to buy so. As long as you have enough Spirit Stones, you should definitely be able to complete the task.” “Thank you for the reminder, Manager Jiang.”
“Manager Jiang, rest assured, I am still quite confident in my own alchemy skills.”
Manager Jiang nodded, “Good, then it’s settled.”
Having said that, Manager Jiang turned and spoke to one of the people behind him.
Then, soone stepped forward and took out a large bundle from a Storage Bag, which contained those 200 portions of alchemy ingredients.
Another person, holding a booklet, registered Lin Jing’s na in it, and with that, the matter was considered settled.
From now on, Lin Jing rely needed to submit 150 First Rank Elixir dicines each month on ti, without needing to fight the Demonic Beasts like the others.
Once everything was handled properly, Steward Jiang took his leave.
Before departing, Lin Jing gave several small gifts to Steward Jiang.
Apart from this matter, the words Steward Jiang said last ti had saved Lin Jing a considerable amount of Spirit Stones. He felt he needed to show so appreciation.
Steward Jiang initially declined, but after persisting without success, he accepted the gifts and left with the two n.
After Steward Jiang left, Lin Jing returned to his room.
He took out the 200 sets of Alchemy Ingredients to organize them.
“Knock, knock, knock”
It wasn’t long before soone knocked on Lin Jing’s door.
Lin Jing placed the yet-to-be-organized dicinal herbs on the table and walked over to the door.
Upon opening the courtyard door, he saw Ning Yue standing at the entrance.
“It turns out to be Ning Daoyou, please co in.”
Ning Yue didn’t stand on ceremony and walked straight in.
Seeing Ning Yue enter without Luo Luo by her side, Lin Jing asked:
“Where’s Luo Luo? Why didn’t she co with you?”
Ning Yue replied, “Luo Luo is tired from playing; she’s asleep at ho right now. ”
“Oh… I see,” Lin Jing nodded, then continued to ask, “May I inquire as to why
Ning Daoyou has co?”
Ning Yue turned her head, looked at Lin Jing, and asked,
“I heard from Steward Jiang that you were assigned Alchemy tasks?” “Yes,” Lin Jing nodded.
“I heard that in Fang Market, they are giving quite a lot of tasks to you First
Rank Alchemists, as many as 150 dium Grade or higher Elixir dicines.” “What do you think? Is this difficult for you?”
“If you find the task volu too large, I can help you refine so to lessen your burden.”
Lin Jing was taken aback, not expecting her to co for this reason. “Thank you for your concern, Ning Daoyou, but there’s no need,” he said.
“150 First Rank Elixir dicines are not a problem for .”
After saying this, Lin Jing looked at Ning Yue and asked,
“Ning Daoyou, may I ask what tasks are given to Second -Grade Alchemists like you?”
“We’re doing okay; we just need to provide 20 dium Grade or higher Second Rank Elixir dicines each month, and they’ve given us 50 sets of ingredients, which is quite sufficient.”
Because the main force resisting the beast tide consists of the Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, and the Elixir dicines they use are all Second Rank.
The refining of Second-Grade Elixir dicines is mainly dependent on these Second-Grade Alchemists; the Fang Market naturally wouldn’t dare to press them too hard.
“That’s good to hear,” said Lin Jing.
Having said this, Lin Jing didn’t know what else to say.
Ning Yue felt the sa, and for a mont, the two fell into silence…
“Ning Daoyou…”
“Lin Daoyou…”
Both spoke simultaneously, then abruptly stopped. “Ning Daoyou, you go first…”
A mont later, Lin Jing broke the silence..
