Chapter 839 (1/2)

Chapter 839: 374 Chapter 839: 374 “I’ve already spoken to the Alliance Hierarch about this matter; the other Elders already have quite a few people under them, and it wouldn’t be right to trouble them further,”

“You three will remain under my tutelage for now, but once a new Elder appears, you will be transferred under his mentorship,”

“As for me, I am still not suited to take on disciples.

In the future, I will continue to focus on my elixir recipes,”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing immediately fell silent.

It seems…

That this must be the matter discussed between Elder Qi and the Elixir Alliance Hierarch.

At that moment,

Elder Qi looked at Lin Jing and suddenly said,

“I talked a lot with the Alliance Hierarch yesterday, and you also came up in our conversation…”

“As the Lin Family heir, with the Lin Family’s heritage, and your alchemic talent is also exceedingly exceptional,”

“Both the Alliance Hierarch and I believe that you are the most likely to advance to an Eighth-Grade Alchemist and become the ninth Elder of the Elixir Alliance,”

“The Alliance Hierarch is also very concerned about you,”

“Furthermore, I heard from the Alliance Hierarch that recently, you have been tirelessly completing Alchemy Hall missions, accumulating Contribution Points,”

“Could it be that you’ve encountered some issue?”

“If there’s anything, just tell me directly.

After all, I am still your mentor.

If it’s within my power, I will help you resolve it,”

Lin Jing was silent for a moment, and then he spoke:

“To be frank with you, Master…”

“Actually, I’ve had a premonition recently that I should be close to making a breakthrough to an Eighth-Grade Alchemist,”

Lin Jing didn’t reveal that he was already an Eighth-Grade Alchemist, as his advance to Eighth-Grade was achieved with the help of System Space, and he had not yet concocted any Eighth-Grade Elixir Medicines.

Such a matter, if spoken aloud, would be far too astonishing.

Therefore, it was best to keep it to himself for the time being.

Upon hearing this, Elder Qi’s lips immediately turned up in a smile,

“Just as we thought…”

“We weren’t wrong.”

Then, Lin Jing continued:

“And the reason I’ve been accumulating Harvest Points is to exchange for a material in the Treasure Hall, in order to create a new Pill Furnace,”

“A Pill Furnace…”

After hearing this, Elder Qi nodded and then said,

“Indeed!”

“The one you had before is certainly no longer sufficient.

Once you advance to an Eighth-Grade Alchemist, that Pill Furnace will be thoroughly obsolete,”

“May I ask what material you plan to exchange for?”

Lin Jing replied:

“The Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal from the Treasure Hall,”

After hearing this, Elder Qi furrowed his brows in thought and then said,

“The Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal…”

“If I remember correctly, that is one of the top materials for artifact refining, requiring a substantial amount of Contribution Points to exchange,”

Lin Jing nodded in agreement and said,

“To exchange for the Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal requires three billion Contribution Points,”

After hearing this, Elder Qi looked at Lin Jing and asked again,

“How many Contribution Points have you saved up so far?”

“I’ve already accrued one point six billion; I’m not even halfway to exchanging for that Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal,” said Lin Jing.

Once Lin Jing had finished speaking, Elder Qi said,

“As your mentor, I’ve not really fulfilled my teaching responsibilities,”

“Well then…”

“The Harvest Points you’re missing—I’ll provide them for you.

This is the only thing I, as your mentor, can do for you now,”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing didn’t refuse, but promptly clasped his hands together and thanked Elder Qi,

“Thank you, Master!”

Elder Qi gave a gentle nod and then spoke again,

“Crafting a Pill Furnace is not just about one single material; do you need anything else?

I can exchange those for you too.

After all, I still have plenty of Contribution Points, enough to exchange for several types of materials,”

Lin Jing replied,

“No need, Master…”

“Most of the other materials needed for the Pill Furnace are already gathered, and for those not yet collected, I already know where to procure them.

Now I’m just missing the final material,”

“However, this last material is extremely rare, and I haven’t found it yet,”

Upon hearing this, Elder Qi asked with curiosity,

“What is this last material you lack?”
