Chapter 586: Chapter 245: Ji Xiyue’s Wager, Repairing the Elixir Manuscript
After hearing this, Lin Jing spoke directly:
“Repairing the pill book, we have discussed this matter before, and I will certainly do my best to help you repair it.”
Ji Xiyue’s pretty face blushed, seemingly slightly embarrassed, and then she said:
“This time, I might have to trouble you to make it as quick as possible.”
“I am quite in a hurry this time.”
Looking puzzled, Lin Jing turned to Ji Xiyue:
“Ji Daoyou, have you encountered some special circumstances?”
Ji Xiyue nodded and then said:
“You have also heard about the marriage proposal from Yuling Dao Sect. I won’t hide it from you.”
“This time, Yuling Dao Sect has proposed to my Xingluo Elixir Sect, wanting an alliance through marriage, and many within our sect are supportive of it.”
“Even the attitude of the Sect Master is ambiguous.”
“I also know Mo Chengxuan. He has expressed his fondness for me before, but this man is too arrogant for my liking.”
Lin Jing looked at Ji Xiyue and asked:

“So, you refused?”
Ji Xiyue nodded and said:
“Yes…”
“I refused.”
After saying this, Ji Xiyue sighed in resignation and continued:
“However, for someone like me, born and raised in a sect, it is not easy to refuse such an arranged marriage.”
“A suitable reason must be found.”
“Otherwise, if I outright reject the proposal from Yuling Dao Sect and compromise the relationship between the two sects, causing damage to our sect, I will surely not escape punishment from the sect.”
“So, I came up with a reason!”
“That is to wager on my talent, betting that I can advance to a Sixth Rank Pill Master within twelve years.”
“In twelve years, there will be an Alchemy Conference in the Western Demon Region, and all the top Pill Masters of the region will participate.”
“Only by advancing to a Sixth Rank Pill Master will I have a chance to place in the top three in the competition and show my value to the sect, thus freeing myself from this marriage alliance.”
“I have been secluded in the sect recently just for this matter…”
Lin Jing, looking at Ji Xiyue, said:
“Twelve years to advance to a Sixth Rank Pill Master will not be easy.”
“Also, is that pill book really so important? Are you sure that with that book, you can become a Sixth Rank Pill Master?”
Ji Xiyue nodded and said:
“I’ve been studying that pill book for at least a hundred years, and it has given me a great deal of inspiration, including my previous advancements, which are also related to that book.”
“Plus, I have a hunch.”
“To continue advancing, I can only rely on that pill book.”
After listening, Lin Jing fell silent for a moment.
After the silence, Lin Jing nodded and said:
“I can try to help you repair that pill book, but you must understand that the book is only a part of it.”
“To become a Sixth Rank Pill Master requires a lot more hard work.”
Ji Xiyue nodded and responded:
“I am well aware of that.”
