Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Visit from the Wang Pill Master
Translator: 549690339
Since Lin Jing’s last assessment, half a month had passed in the blink of an eye.
During this half month, aside from alchemy, Lin Jing took time to visit Yuebaolou to purchase some ingredients for refining Second Rank Elixir medicines.
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 assume 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 supplement for refining Cultivation True Elixirs.
Moreover, although the quality of this Spirit Plant wasn’t the best, it came with its rootstock, perfect for planting in the System Space.
However, that Spirit Plant was too expensive, demanding 2,000 Medium 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 medicines.
So, purchasing these materials, however you looked at it, was never going to be a loss for him.
After this half month, the assessment for Pill Master Offering Priests had already concluded.
Unfortunately, two people failed to pass the assessment 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 assessments 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 Meteor 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. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
It turned out that using the Controlling Fire Technique to control the Foundation Building True Fire made the process exceptionally smooth.
With the enhancement of the Controlling Fire Technique, handling the Foundation Building True Fire became more convenient and also reduced mental 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 Medicine.
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 Medicine 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 moment for the final consolidation of the elixirs.
But just at that moment…
All of a sudden, a warning from the System rang out.
“Warning! Someone has intruded into the alert perimeter, 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 momentarily.
Lin Jing quickly recovered, hastening his output of Spiritual Power.
The Foundation Building True Fire once again resumed its intensity.
Lin Jing frowned, displeased with the interruption at such a time.
He had specifically mentioned 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 agreement, which is why there had been no disturbances during this period.
Therefore, the person seeking Lin Jing at this moment was likely someone else.
However, as it was a crucial moment in alchemy, he could not afford to be distracted.
Shortly after, the Elixir Medicine finally took shape. At this moment, 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 refinement 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 refinement, 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 home?”
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 named Wang frowned and couldn’t help muttering to himself:
“Strange?” “Is no one home?”
“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 time, 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 home? Wang has come 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 home. 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 moment, so I was delayed a bit.”
Hearing this, Wang, the Pill Master, immediately grew anxious and hastened to say:
“Lin Daoyou, how is it going? Your batch of elixirs is unharmed, I hope…”
After speaking, Wang, the Pill Master, slapped his forehead:
“That was thoughtless of me…”
“I should have realized sooner…”
“Why do I always interrupt Lin Daoyou during your alchemy, last time at the assessment, and this time as well…”
Observing Wang, the Pill Master, looking so remorseful, Lin Jing made no comment 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 me for?”
