The Wang-surnamed Pill Master quickly said:

“It’s like this, Lin Daoyou…”

“Because last time during the assessment, I accidentally disturbed your alchemy, I’ve felt extremely guilty.”

“So, I specifically came here today to apologize to you, Lin Daoyou.”

“I’ve booked a table at Drunken Immortal Pavilion and would like to invite Lin Daoyou to the banquet as a gesture of apology.”

After listening, Lin Jing’s eyebrows furrowed.

He was not particularly close with this Wang-surnamed Pill Master; apart from greeting each other when they met, they had no private communications.

Now, why would he want to apologize to him?

Moreover…

Lin Jing already had a clear grasp of this Wang-surnamed Pill Master’s temperament. This person was not the kind to rise early if there wasn’t benefit involved, which was apparent from their several meetings and the way his attitude towards Lin Jing had changed.

And a banquet at Drunken Immortal Pavilion was not cheap; considering their acquaintance, it seemed far too extravagant.

Unless he needed a favor from Lin Jing, or perhaps from Elder Yu behind Lin Jing, only then would he do this.

With these thoughts, Lin Jing directly replied:

“Sorry, I need to focus on my alchemy and don’t have any spare time, so I will not be attending.”

Thinking that Lin Jing was trying to avoid trouble, the Wang-surnamed Pill Master hurriedly continued:

“Lin Daoyou, I know you usually don’t like to be disturbed, so this time I only invited you. I hope you can grace me with your presence.”

Lin Jing spoke again:

“My alchemy skills cannot compare to yours, and I cannot delay the tasks assigned to me here in the building. Please go back.”

Having said that, Lin Jing prepared to close the door and return.

“Lin Daoyou…”

The Wang-surnamed Pill Master wanted to say something else but was directly cut off by Lin Jing.

Lin Jing’s expression turned cold as he said:

“During the previous assessment, Steward Zheng made himself very clear. Do you, Wang Daoyou, wish for me to be expelled from Yuebaolou?”

Seeing Lin Jing’s unfriendly face, the Wang-surnamed Pill Master was momentarily stunned, then quickly waved his hands and said with a smile:

“Lin Daoyou, you’ve misunderstood me. I simply wanted to apologize, I did not mean that at all.”

After listening to the Wang-surnamed Pill Master’s defense, Lin Jing’s expression eased slightly, but his stance remained unchanged.

“I need to go back to alchemy, please make yourself at home, Wang Daoyou.” After speaking, Lin Jing closed the courtyard door and went inside.

Leaving the Wang-surnamed Pill Master outside.

Right after Lin Jing left, the Wang-surnamed Pill Master’s face immediately changed, drastically different from before.

He glared viciously at the courtyard, then turned and left.

After going back, Lin Jing didn’t dwell on the matter and started to meditate and rest immediately.

Several days quickly passed.

Today was the day to hand over the elixir medicines.

Lin Jing had already prepared the necessary elixirs to submit.

Ten second -rank superior elixirs were placed in a small porcelain bottle in his Storage Bag, no more, no less.

Plus forty lower-grade elixirs.

These elixirs were very simple for Lin Jing to produce.

With the bonus from the Alchemy Room in System Space, his success rate in concocting elixirs was very high.

Every month, he could produce at least a few hundred second-rank elixirs, of which more than fifty were supreme elixirs.

Moreover, ever since the Alchemy Room was upgraded to level three, both the success rate of concocting second-rank elixirs and the chances of producing Pure Elixirs had increased to 20%.

Every month, even just the Pure Elixirs, he could make well over a dozen.

Most of these elixirs were sold, and a small portion of them was consumed by him.

Otherwise, with Lin Jing’s talent and aptitude, he could not have improved so quickly. Plus, now that Lin Jing was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, advancement was much slower than in the Qi Refinement Realm.

Since his last breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had consumed several Pure Elixirs. The improvement was significant, but there were still no signs of a breakthrough.

However, breakthroughs don’t happen overnight, so Lin Jing wasn’t in a hurry at all.

After packing up, Lin Jing left the house.

Arriving at Yuebaolou, he went directly to the backyard to submit the elixir medicines.

At the moment, Steward Cheng was still present there, who had previously mentioned that he would be stationed at this spot until Elder Bai and Elder Yu returned.

“Steward Cheng.”

Upon seeing Steward Cheng, Lin Jing greeted him first.

“Lin Jing, you’re here…”

“How have you been lately?”

“I’ve heard from others that you even spent your own money on some Second Rank materials…”

“How is it? Are you in need of Spirit Stones? Let me know if you are, I have some.”

The moment he saw Lin Jing, Steward Cheng blurted out a stream of words.

The concern in his voice was especially evident.

Lin Jing responded:

“Steward Cheng, don’t worry, I have enough Spirit Stones.”

“Besides, the materials I purchased were not wasted. I made extra elixir medicines and sold them directly to the pavilion, which helped me break even quite a bit.”

“To be honest, I’ve even made a little profit.”

Since becoming an Offering Priest for Yuebaolou, Lin Jing had been selling some low-grade elixir medicines to the pavilion.

After all, as an alchemist, one produces a sizable quantity of elixir medicines each month, and the low-grade ones were countless.

This was why there were grade restrictions for Yuebaolou’s Offering Priests.

In the process of making superior elixir medicines, one would inevitably produce a large amount of low-grade ones, and Yuebaolou had dozens of Offering Priests who were alchemists.

Much of the time, the cultivators in Fang Market used the low-grade elixir medicines, and even medium-grade ones only occasionally.

Not to mention the superior, supreme, and even the Pure Elixirs.

Those were exclusive to sects, clan heirs, and their ilk. The numerous loose cultivators could hardly afford them.

After listening to Lin Jing, Steward Cheng nodded, then stretched out his hand and said:

“Let’s see the elixir medicines you brought,”

“Alright…”

Finishing his reply, Lin Jing took out several small porcelain bottles from his Storage Bag and handed them to Steward Cheng.

Steward Cheng took the small bottles, poured out the elixir medicines, and examined them carefully in his hand.

After a while, Steward Cheng looked up and said:

“These elixir medicines are quite good…”

“Did you refine these alone, or did you ask Li Tangyu for help?” Steward Cheng then quietly asked.

“I’ve been alchemizing non-stop by myself recently, barely managing to complete the task,” Lin Jing replied. “Good boy, nicely done…”

Steward Cheng smiled broadly and said:

“Previously, Elder Yu said you had exceptional talent for the Alchemy Dao, I was somewhat skeptical, but now I believe it…”

“It’s been less than half a year since you were promoted to a Second Rank Pill

Master, and you’ve already been able to complete the tasks of an Offering

Priest for Yuebaolou on your own.”

“As far as I know, you’re the only one…”

“I hope Steward Cheng can keep this a secret…” Lin Jing spoke to Steward Cheng.

“Rest assured…”

Steward Cheng, knowing Lin Jing’s disposition of not enjoying socializing, agreed immediately.

Subsequently, Lin Jing stayed with Steward Cheng for a while longer, collecting his monthly alchemy ingredients.

After greeting Steward Cheng, he left.

As Lin Jing was about to go back after leaving Steward Cheng’s place, he had barely stepped out of Yuebaolou when someone called out to him.

“Lin Daoyou….”
