Chapter 648 (2/2)

“Are you not the heir of an ancient alchemy family?

Is your confidence really that lacking?”

“Well, it’s not easy to say…” Lin Jing said sheepishly.

Now when Lin Jing practiced alchemy, the proficiency he could gain was becoming less and less; even when making low-tier elixirs, he didn’t get any proficiency at all.

And the proficiency needed to level up had become an astronomical figure.

Unless he took refuge in one of the top alchemy sects and continuously crafted fifth-grade, or even sixth-grade elixirs, to acquire proficiency,

Otherwise,

Just relying on his current method of cultivating spirit fields or using spirit stones to sporadically purchase spirit plants for refinement,

He wouldn’t be able to refine more than a few elixir furnaces in a year, so how could he continue to level up?

It’s possible that by the time they met again, Ji Xiyue would have already become a seventh-grade alchemist, while he would still be hovering at the sixth-grade.

To advance to a seventh-grade alchemist, it seemed he would need to think of more ways.

…

Ji Xiyue didn’t ask further, but by her expression, it seemed she didn’t believe Lin Jing at all and probably thought he was being modest.

And Lin Jing didn’t explain.

Afterward, the two spoke for some time.

Later, they bid farewell to each other, and Ji Xiyue left.

Ji Xiyue needed to return to the Western Demon Region first, and then from there, travel with the people from the Elixir Alliance to the Eastern Spirit Realm.

After Ji Xiyue left, Lin Jing stood in the courtyard for a long time, until the sunset began to slope westward, he seemed to come back to his senses, murmuring softly,

“It seems, I should also be heading back…”

In the following days, Lin Jing sought out Wei Zhengqing for a brief gathering.

After an extensive chat with him, Lin Jing bid farewell.

After leaving Wei Zhengqing, Lin Jing went to Linxian City, met with Ning Yue, and learned from her that the Ning family had already parted ways with the Nanming Immortal Sect.

Ever since Grandpa Shi San spoke those words in the Demon Race Secret Realm, the Qingyuan Sword Sect and Yiyun Pavilion had thoroughly investigated the Nanming Immortal Sect.

If it had been any other time, given that the Nanming Immortal Sect was one of the three major sects, no one would dare to cause trouble at Nanming Immortal Sect even if the ancestor of Nanming Immortal Sect was not present,

But this time, the trouble originated from the ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect.

And it was Grandpa Shi San who personally revealed that the ancestor of Nanming Immortal Sect was practicing demonic techniques, so naturally, the ancestors of Qingyuan Sword Sect and Yiyun Pavilion did not dare to neglect this.

They immediately initiated an investigation.

After the investigation, indeed, significant discoveries were made.

The Grand Elder of the Nanming Immortal Sect, along with several other powerful elders, were found to be practicing demonic techniques.

Even some of the core disciples of Nanming Immortal Sect were also practicing demonic techniques.

This situation shocked both Qingyuan Sword Sect and Yiyun Pavilion, who are also among the three major sects.

The ancestors of both Qingyuan Sword Sect and Yiyun Pavilion personally took action, executing all those who practiced demonic techniques,

Not a single one of those demon cultivators, including the Grand Elder of Nanming Immortal Sect, escaped.

With the loss of these individuals, the Nanming Immortal Sect no longer had the capital to be counted as one of the three major sects.

Moreover, when this incident came to light, many disciples of Nanming Immortal Sect voluntarily left the sect.

After this ordeal, the entire Nanming Immortal Sect had completely declined.

All the families and smaller sects that were affiliated with it also left following this event.

The Ning family also departed from the Nanming Immortal Sect during this time.

Upon leaving the Nanming Immortal Sect, the Ning family not only didn’t suffer any losses, but there were even signs of growth.

Upon learning of this, Lin Jing merely smiled and offered his congratulations.

Afterward, Lin Jing bid farewell to Ning Yue and then left Linxian City.

After leaving, Lin Jing set off for Sea-Watch City.

On the way, Lin Jing took a detour to Tianxin City to see Steward Cheng, then returned to Mo City, looking at Yu Yan from a distance,

And even Yu Ling, he even saw Yu Ling’s son.

Although Yu Ling didn’t have a spiritual root, her son possessed a three-attribute spiritual root,

With a three-attribute spiritual root, in Mo City, he could be described as having an exceptionally good aptitude.

Another ten years had passed since the last time, and Yu Ling had already become a woman in appearance.

Though she hadn’t aged, her youth was no longer.

This time, as Grandpa Shi San went to the Outer Spatial Void to find a cure for Shi San, it was unknown how long it would take.

It was likely to be a long time.

It is very possible that by the time Shi San woke up again, Yu Ling would have passed away.

But this is the separation between the mortal world and immortality; it cannot be changed.

Mo City was Lin Jing’s last stop in the Nanming Domain.

After leaving Mo City, Lin Jing didn’t linger any longer, instead, he flew directly towards Sea-Watch City…
