Chapter 858 (2/2)
“Now, this pill possesses the ability to enhance Cultivation, but it cannot help one cross the divide between the mortal and the immortal realms.”
Elder Bai observed the pill in his hand for a long time before finally shifting his gaze away, then he said to Lin Jing:
“Initially…”
“When Old Lin decided to craft the Ascension Pill, I was quite skeptical, but his mind was made up and no one could dissuade him.”
“Although this pill failed, I must admit, Old Lin had more foresight and strength than I…”
“All these years, I’ve been searching for a way to achieve immortality, but after so many years of searching, I found that no method could break the insurmountable divide between the mortal and immortal realms.”
“Only this Ascension Pill holds a slim chance.”
“It seems now, Old Lin had indeed led us on the most correct path.”
“Ah…”
Elder Bai sighed, then closed the treasure box again.
Next, Elder Bai looked at Lin Jing and spoke again:
“We’ll explore the matter of this Ascension Pill further when we meet Elder Hong later.
For now, let’s talk about you…”
“How have you been feeling in the Elixir Alliance lately?”
“I also heard from Elder Qi that you went to help the Shi Family with alchemy, right!”
Lin Jing nodded and replied:
“Yes, Elder Bai.”
“I have just returned from alchemy work at the Shi Family.”
“And during this time in the Elixir Alliance, things have been quite satisfactory.”
Just as Lin Jing finished speaking, Elder Qi then said:
“Grand Elder…”
“Lin Jing was recently promoted to an Eighth Grade Alchemist; I think it might be time to arrange for his formal assessment.”
Upon hearing what Elder Qi said, Elder Bai looked at Lin Jing with surprise:
“You’re already an Eighth Grade Alchemist?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing nodded:
“Yes, Elder.”
“It was good luck that I advanced to the Eighth Grade not long ago.”
After thinking for a moment, Elder Bai then said:
“Due to the upcoming Alchemy Conference, things will be quite busy.”
“So…”
“Let’s wait until the Alchemy Conference is nearly over before conducting the assessment for an Eighth Grade Alchemist.”
After finishing, Elder Bai looked at Lin Jing and asked:
“What do you think?”
Lin Jing replied:
“I will follow your decision, Elder.”
Elder Bai nodded, then said to Elder Qi:
“Since Lin Jing has decided on the assessment, after you return, explain to him the details concerning the assessment.”
Elder Qi nodded: “Alright…”
…
…
Not staying long with Elder Bai, the Hierarch of the Elixir Alliance soon arrived to discuss matters of the Alchemy Conference with him.
