Chapter 838 (2/2)
“That would be nice…”
“Master, please…” As Elder Qi finished speaking, Lin Jing led him into the cave abode.
Once they reached the main hall of the cave abode, Lin Jing arranged for Elder Qi to be seated and, after some bustling about, brewed some Spiritual Tea.
He then poured a full cup and placed it in front of Elder Qi.
Elder Qi picked up the tea cup, sipped a little, set the cup down, and then looked at Lin Jing before starting to speak:
“I didn’t know until I came out of seclusion yesterday and met with the Alliance Hierarch that both your junior brother and sister have become Seventh Grade Alchemists.”
Lin Jing nodded and said:
“Yes, Master.”
“My junior brother and sister have been very diligent and have both made a breakthrough to Seventh Grade Alchemists not long ago.”
Elder Qi heard this and looked towards Lin Jing, saying:
“All of this is thanks to you.”
“It’s quite embarrassing to say, but as your nominal master, I have always been secluding myself and haven’t truly taught you anything.”
Indeed.
In the time since Lin Jing and his peers had become disciples of Elder Qi, the elder spent most of his time secluded, researching elixir recipes, and rarely emerged.
As for their guidance…
Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei each had their own legacy and needed no teaching, while Ji Xiyue also went to Lin Jing because of the Elixir Scripture, eliminating the need to trouble Elder Qi.
Speaking honestly, Elder Qi hadn’t really instructed them much.
Even though Elder Qi had never taught them, Lin Jing was extremely content with this arrangement.
Having been in the Elixir Alliance for many years, Lin Jing had some understanding of the disciples under other elders.
While the disciples of other elders received guidance from time to time, they were not as free.
There were many areas within the Elixir Alliance that needed to be supervised, and a lot of this responsibility fell on disciples like Lin Jing.
From time to time, there were also important tasks within the Elixir Alliance that required arrangement and execution.

Naturally, the disciples of those elders were the first choices.
However, things were different with Elder Qi.
Because of Elder Qi’s nature, even if there were tasks within the Elixir Alliance, the Alliance Hierarch would first tend to disregard them.
As a result, Elder Qi’s three disciples, including Lin Jing, were directly overlooked; three more or three fewer made no difference to the Alliance…
But if there were tasks to be done, the first one to be contacted would naturally be Elder Qi.
The last person the Elixir Alliance Hierarch wanted to face was Elder Qi, and he would rather handle the tasks himself than disturb Elder Qi over trivial matters.
Moreover.
The other elders seemed to share the same attitude as the Alliance Hierarch, seldom interacting with Elder Qi and thus naturally ignoring Lin Jing and his peers.
With that, Lin Jing and his companions became the most carefree within the entire Elixir Alliance.
As soon as Elder Qi finished speaking, Lin Jing promptly said:
“Master, you need not worry…”
“We three each have our own legacy, and there’s no need to trouble you for the time being…”
But just as he was saying this, Elder Qi interrupted him:
