Chapter 588 - Chapter 588: Chapter 246: Advancing to a Sixth-Rank Alchemist (2/2)

“Master, I’ve returned,” Ye Yun spoke again.

Then, Ye Yun took out a Storage Bag from his person and handed it over to Lin Jing.

“These are the Fourth and Fifth-Rank spirit plants you asked me to acquire; they are all here.”

Ye Yun and Lin Jue had spent nearly a year in the Nanming Domain before returning to Li Yan Island a year ago.

Before they left, Lin Jing had given Ye Yun an assignment to gather some Fourth and Fifth-Rank High-Grade Spiritual Plants.

Ye Yun continued,

“This acquisition took me beyond the Demonic Monster Sea; I even made a trip to the Western Demon Region.”

“I’ve used up all the fifteen million Midium Grade Spirit Stones you gave me on this venture.”

Lin Jing reached out, took the Storage Bag, and surveyed it with his Divine Sense. After inspecting, he stored it away and spoke:

“Hmm, you’ve done well.”

Then, Lin Jing looked at Ye Yun and asked,

“How are things now in the Thousand Islands Domain?”

Ye Yun replied,

“The Thousand Islands Domain remains as it was, with the three Island Masters still seeking Li Mingwu, who has yet to appear.”

“What about our Flame Island, how has it been doing recently?” Lin Jing inquired further.

“Flame Island is much the same; Yue Qi has been managing things, with Lin Jue occasionally lending a hand.”

As Ye Yun spoke, his tone suddenly shifted,

“Oh, Master…”

“Zhang Jian should be nearing his tribulation soon.”

“You promised him a Nirvana Elixir for his advancement, didn’t you…”

“I had it prepared for him long ago,” Lin Jing replied.

“I thought he needed more time before his tribulation to ascend to Nascent Soul, but it turns out he’s ready much sooner than I expected.”

Then, Lin Jing took out a Pure Jade Box and several small jade bottles from his Space Ring and handed them to Ye Yun.

“Hand these elixir medicines over to him once you get back,”

“And ask him when exactly he will face his tribulation. I’ll go back then to act as his protector.”

Ye Yun accepted the elixir medicines and stowed them away, then gave a cupped fist salute to Lin Jing,

“Yes, Master…”

Lin Jing nodded, then spoke,

“For the next few days, don’t return just yet; go to the Li Family and help your sister Qingqing with some tasks.”

“Once you’re done with the Li Family’s business, you can come back here. I need to concoct some elixir medicines; you’ll bring them back to Flame Island.”

Ye Yun nodded,

“Understood, Master…”

…

Afterward, Lin Jing and Ye Yun exchanged a few more pleasantries. Then Ye Yun took his leave to go to the Li Family.

Following Ye Yun’s departure, Lin Jing closed the shop and returned to the small courtyard.

Given the seclusion of his shop and the lack of visitors, and with tasks awaiting him, it made sense for Lin Jing to shut the shop outright.
