Chapter 41: Visiting Elder Yu, Selling the Elixir
Translator: 549690339
Time flies, winter gives way to spring, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
In these three months, Lin Jing cultivated daily without any slackening.
Finally, today, Lin Jing felt his Divine Sense solidify, and his realm was stable. He was ready for a breakthrough.
However, Lin Jing didn’t rush to break through immediately. He needed to make a trip to Yuebaolou to sell the Elixirs he had refined during this period.
When Lin Jing left home and arrived at the Fang Market, he saw that the streets were much more crowded than they had been three months ago.
And all this was thanks to the Demonic Beasts.
Due to the relentless attacks from the Demonic Beasts, some smaller families and sects could not withstand and temporarily relocated to the outskirts of Fang Market, relying on the market’s power to resist the Demonic Beasts.
The reason these smaller families and sects did this
was that their strength was too weak. Their highest level of combat power was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and they suffered heavy losses when facing the attacks of the Demonic Beasts.
They had made this decision out of necessity.
Even those large sects with profound heritage and countless disciples were not completely unaffected.
Among these families and sects, the only one that was not affected was probably the Qingyuan Sword Sect. After all, any Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingyuan Sword Sect had the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Moreover, there were many elders in the Qingyuan Sword Sect at the Golden Core Stage, so they were not afraid of the attacks from the Demonic Beasts.
Not only that, Lin Jing had also heard that aside from the Sect Master and Grand Elder, the Qingyuan Sword Sect had a few Nascent Soul Stage old monsters hidden within.
It was just unknown whether this rumor was true or false.
Entering the Fang Market, Lin Jing headed to Yuebaolou and found Elder Yu.
“Elder Yu, I’ve come to see you.”
As Lin Jing spoke, he took out a pitcher of liquor from his Storage Bag and passed it over.
“This is your favorite Qinghua Drunk, I brought it especially for you.”
Elder Yu looked at Lin Jing, chided with a smile:
“You little rascal… This old man’s only indulgence, and you’ve got it completely in your grasp.”
Elder Yu, without any hesitation, took the Qinghua Drunk, opened the stopper, and the fragrance of the wine instantly filled the air.
“That’s the stuff…”
“So fragrant…”
Then without caring for anything else, he guzzled a large mouthful down.
“Refreshing…”
After taking a swallow, Elder Yu plugged the bottle and placed it in his chest like a treasure.
“You little rascal, are you here to sell Elixir Medicine again?
“Hehe…” Lin Jing chuckled with a grin. “Elder Yu, your insights are keen.”
Elder Yu pursed his lips and said:
“It’s been less than a month since you sold the last batch, and now you’ve refined another one.”
“Your Alchemy speed, even this old man is envious.” Having said that, Elder Yu reached out his hand.
“Come, show me the Elixirs you’ve refined, let me have a look.”
“Please wait a moment, Elder Yu.”
As he spoke, Lin Jing pulled out several bottles of Elixirs from his Storage Bag and handed them to Elder Yu.
Elder Yu opened the porcelain bottles, poured out the Elixirs, and started to carefully inspect them.
After a long while, Elder Yu lifted his head, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Lin Jing.
“Kid, your alchemy skills have improved quickly. Looking at the quality of these Elixirs, I estimate that in a few months, you’ll be able to refine Supreme Elixirs.”
Two months earlier, Lin Jing had given a Superior Elixir to Elder Yu, telling him that he had already been able to refine Superior Elixirs.
Elder Yu was startled by Lin Jing’s rapid progress and had even felt a sense of cherishing talent, offering Lin Jing further guidance.
“Kid.
“When you’ve refined a Supreme Elixir, I’ll introduce you as an Offering Priest of Yuebaolou.”
“Ah… Offering Priest?”
Lin Jing hesitated: “Isn’t it so that only Second-Grade Alchemists can become
Offering Priests?”
The Offering Priests of Yuebaolou were treated exceptionally well, and naturally, the requirements were high.
Elder Yu was disdainful:
“That’s other people. The person I introduce, nobody dares to talk nonsense.”
Lin Jing was at a loss for words. He knew before that Elder Yu’s status in the Yuebaolou was not ordinary.
Now it seemed that he was even more formidable than Lin Jing had thought.
“Elder Yu is mighty.”
Flattered by Lin Jing’s brown-nosing, Elder Yu squinted his eyes and said with a smile:
“Kid, work hard.”
“Your talent for alchemy is exceptional. I believe it won’t take long before you can become a Second -Grade Alchemist.”
After selling the elixir medicines, Lin Jing purchased a batch of materials for concocting elixirs and left the Yuebaolou.
By the time he came out of the Yuebaolou, the sky had already darkened.
The streets had also grown quieter, with only a handful of pedestrians remaining.
Lin Jing found an unoccupied corner to make some slight changes to his appearance before coming out again.
This time, he needed to buy some formulas and materials for Second Rank elixir medicines, which wasn’t very convenient to do at the Yuebaolou.
The place he chose was the small shop where he had sold the Pure Elixir Medicine previously.
“Oh… Sir, you’re here.”
As soon as he entered, the shopkeeper greeted him with a beaming smile.
During this time, Lin Jing had sold elixir medicines here numerous times, making the shopkeeper a tidy profit.
Therefore, the shopkeeper was naturally overjoyed at Lin Jing’s arrival and treated him better than he did other people.
“Shopkeeper, I want to buy a few Second Rank elixir medicine formulas. Besides that, I also need some materials for concocting Second Rank elixir medicines.”
“Sir, have you become a Second Grade Pill Master?” The shopkeeper looked at Lin Jing, momentarily stunned.
“Hmm.” Lin Jing nodded.
Seeing Lin Jing nodded, the shopkeeper immediately reacted, smiling broadly, “Congratulations, sir, on becoming a Second Grade Pill Master.”
“You flatter me, shopkeeper.”
The shopkeeper went on, “Sir, please let me know what formulas and materials you need, our shop has everything.”
Lin Jing said, “For the formulas, I want the Foundation Building Elixir, the Clear Accumulation Elixir, and the Gathering Yuan Pill, just these three for now.”
“As for the materials, I’ll need twenty sets for the Foundation Building, Clear
Accumulation, and Gathering Yuan Elixir.”
After saying that, Lin Jing thought for a moment before adding:
“That’ll be all.”
“Alright, no problem,” the shopkeeper said, stroking his chin and noding.
“Sir, please wait a moment, I’ll go fetch these for you now,” said the shopkeeper as he walked towards the back of the shop.
In just a short while, the shopkeeper returned.
“Sir, these are the materials you asked for. Please check to see if the amount is correct,” he said, placing three bags of materials on the counter and pushing them towards Lin Jing.
Lin Jing opened the bags, checked the contents, and nodded.
Then the shopkeeper took out three formulas from his Storage Bag and handed them to Lin Jing.
Lin Jing casually looked over the formulas, finding no issues.
“How many Spirit Stones will all these cost?” Lin Jing asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper replied, “Second Rank elixir materials are much more expensive than First Rank ones, as I’m sure you’re aware, sir.”
“Of course, I understand. Please feel free to tell me, shopkeeper,” said Lin Jing.
“Sir, the three formulas you requested, along with the materials, total up to 1,200 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.”
“Hmm… okay, that’s a fair price,” Lin Jing said.
He then took out the Spirit Stones and completed the transaction.
The items Lin Jing wanted would probably cost about the same even in the Yuebaolou.
Therefore, the price the shopkeeper offered wasn’t expensive.
After all, the shopkeeper wanted to maintain a long-term cooperation with Lin Jing, so it was unlikely he would overcharge him at this juncture..
