Chapter 526 - Chapter 526: 211 to Spirit Rock Island, betting_2 (2/2)

“Ji Xiyue is his youngest daughter, and Ji Ling is his only grandson.”

“”They came this time to take charge of escorting the White Jade Cleansing Spirit Grass here.”

The Grand Elder of the Elixir Hall had mentioned this to Lin Jing on the journey here, via Yan Ming; naturally, Lin Jing was aware.

After introducing Lin Jing, Yan Ming once again addressed the two men:

“This person is the Pill Master I’ve invited to concoct the Cleansing Spirit Elixir, Lin Daoyou Lin Jing…”

After speaking, Yan Ming turned to Ji Xiyue and said:

“Ji Daoyou…”

“Lin Daoyou is the same as you, also a Fifth Grade Alchemist; the two of you could exchange some views. After all, it’s not fitting for alchemists to work in isolation; an exchange between you might lead to mutual improvement.”

However, no sooner had Yan Ming finished speaking than the young man Ji Ling glanced at Lin Jing and muttered under his breath:

“My aunt is recognized by our Xingluo Elixir Sect as the number one alchemical prodigy. What’s there to exchange with him?”

Although Ji Ling’s voice wasn’t loud, the least of those present was at the Golden Core Stage in cultivation.

Not just Lin Jing and the others, but even Lin Jue and Ye Yun behind Lin Jing clearly heard it.

Yan Ming himself was directly stunned for a moment; such an occurrence was probably beyond his expectations as well.

Upon hearing this, the expression on the white-dressed woman Ji Xiyue’s face turned cold, and she turned her head to look directly at the man and scolded:

“What nonsense are you talking? Apologize at once!”

Hearing Ji Xiyue’s reprimand, Ji Ling shrank his neck like a startled chick and hurriedly apologized to Lin Jing:

“I’m sorry…”

“I misspoke…”

At the same time, the white-dressed woman Ji Xiyue also opened her mouth and said to Lin Jing:

“Daoyou, I am very sorry…”

“The younger generation of my family is spoiled and rash, and spoke out of turn; I hope you won’t take it to heart.”

Lin Jing didn’t take Ji Ling’s words to heart.

Being a core disciple of an alchemical sect and having a grandfather who is both the Grand Elder of the Elixir Hall and a Seventh Grade Pill Master, it was normal for him to look down on other alchemists.

Anyway, Lin Jing would leave after finishing the elixir medicine; thereafter, he wouldn’t have anything to do with them.

Naturally, Lin Jing wouldn’t lower himself to their level.

Lin Jing then spoke directly to Ji Xiyue:

“No matter…”

…

…

Although Lin Jing was indifferent, Lin Jue, standing behind him, looked at Ji Ling with dissatisfaction.

Ye Yun, noticing this, quickly reached out, tugging at Lin Jue to remind her to be cautious.

Lin Jue slightly pursed her lips and secretly transmitted her message to Ye Yun:

“Ye Blockhead…”

“Don’t worry, I know my limits, and I won’t cause any trouble for brother.”

Ye Yun was relieved upon hearing Lin Jue’s message.

However, although Lin Jue said this, the way she looked at Ji Ling remained unfriendly…

Seeing that the situation had eased, Yan Ming quickly spoke up to mediate, and after making peace, he led the group inward into the island.

…

Two days flashed by.

In these two days, Lin Jing had not done anything, nor had he performed any alchemy; he just stayed inside the alchemy room, flipping through some alchemy texts of Spirit Rock Island.

It wasn’t until two days later, while Lin Jing was reading in the alchemy room, that he was suddenly informed that Lin Jue and Ji Ling had started arguing.

Lin Jing frowned slightly and then rose, following the person towards the location of the incident.

Upon exiting the alchemy room, just as Lin Jing turned at a corner, he encountered Yan Ming and Ji Xiyue who were coming from the opposite direction.

Seeing the two, it seemed they shared the same destination as Lin Jing.

After exchanging greetings, the three of them headed to the site together.

Before they could reach the site, still some distance away, they heard Ji Ling’s angry voice:

“You…”

“This is going too far…”

“No one has ever dared to be so arrogant in front of me; I don’t believe you’re really that incredible. I’ll bet you!”
