chapter 436: chapter 135: alchemy competition
after leaving the system space, lin jing directly appeared inside the alchemy room.
then, lin jing closed the formation and stepped out of the alchemy room…
after leaving the alchemy room, lin jing immediately released his divine sense, surveying the area, but failed to find any trace of little sparrow.
it seemed that little sparrow must have flown out to hunt on its own.
under normal circumstances, little sparrow would only move around in this northern area, and sometimes, when it had been around for a while, it would fly out to hunt demonic beasts in the sea.
however, it usually wouldn’t be gone for long, even when hunting, and remained within the nearby sea area.
moreover, little sparrow was now more formidable than before.
if measured by a cultivator’s level of cultivation, little sparrow would currently be at the mid-golden core stage.
although it was only at the mid-golden core stage, little sparrow was very fast, and not even a cultivator at the peak of the golden core could easily catch it.
therefore,
lin jing did not pay much attention to it, allowing it to hunt on its own.
with little sparrow absent, lin jing noticed using his divine sense that li qingqing, lin jue, and ye yun were not around either.
aside from cultivating in the northern part of li yan island, the three of them would sometimes go to li yan city or fang market to help…
a portion of the elixir medicines in fang market’s elixir pavilion was refined by li qingqing and lin jue.
of course, lin jing would occasionally contribute some as well.
lin jing estimated that they must be in fang market right now.
afterward,
lin jing left the courtyard and flew towards fang market.
upon reaching the entrance to fang market, huang linxian did not come out to greet him, likely because some issue had arisen inside and he was handling it.
conflicts were common within fang market.
but with the guard team around, these conflicts typically did not escalate too severely.
still, some golden core cultivators from other islands would make trouble here, usually dealt with by huang linxian.
in this regard, huang linxian did a good job; as long as it wasn’t someone intentionally causing trouble, he could solve the issue flawlessly.
if they encountered someone deliberately looking for quarrels, they would notify yue qi’s mother, and if yue qi’s mother couldn’t handle it, only then would they notify lin jing.
since the development of li yan fang market, there would naturally be some who were jealous and wanted to profit from it.
over the years, deliberate provocations had occasionally occurred, and the majority were resolved by huang linxian.
only a minimal part required lin jing’s intervention.
however…
ever since three years ago, when a golden core late stage cultivator, relying on his high cultivation, arbitrarily broke fang market’s rules and killed a cultivator from li yan island, he was forcefully killed by lin jing in public view.
no one dared to cause trouble in li yan fang market anymore.
therefore, lin jing was not particularly concerned about huang linxian’s absence, as now, anyone thinking of causing trouble would have to consider their own strength.
……
after entering fang market, lin jing headed straight for li yan elixir pavilion.
the market was still exceedingly crowded at the time.
however, the expansion of fang market had already begun planning.
moreover, the land for the market’s expansion had already been allocated, and it was expected that it would not be long before the extension was completed.
walking along the streets of fang market, lin jing heard people shouting before he even reached li yan elixir pavilion:
“there’s an alchemy contest happening at li yan elixir pavilion, hurry and see…”
…
“an alchemy contest, we have to take a good look…”
…
“let’s go, let’s go see as well…”
……
“an alchemy contest…” lin jing slightly furrowed his brows, then immediately extended his divine sense.
indeed, in an open space in front of li yan elixir pavilion, two alchemists were standing on either side, refining pills.
one of the alchemists was lin jue.
li qingqing and ye yun were also there.
besides them, huang linxian, along with several members of the guard team, was maintaining order at the scene.
lin jing then proceeded directly to li yan elixir pavilion.
upon nearing li yan elixir pavilion, lin jing discovered that its entrance was already packed and impenetrable.
even li yan elixir pavilion itself was inaccessible.
however, with everyone watching the alchemy contest, it was unlikely that many would be purchasing elixir medicines at this time.
shortly after lin jing arrived, huang linxian was the first to notice him.
huang linxian immediately walked towards lin jing.
“island master…” huang linxian came in front of lin jing and bowed his hands in greeting.
lin jing spoke up, asking huang linxian:
“what’s going on?”
“why is lin jue here competing in an alchemy contest with someone?”
“someone deliberately caused trouble in the elixir pavilion and publicly maligned our pavilion in front of everyone. young master lin couldn’t stand it and started the alchemy contest with this person.”
only in front of lin jing and the others did lin jue reveal her true appearance; whenever she was in public, she maintained the guise of a man.
therefore, even huang linxian was unaware of lin jue’s female identity, and hence addressed her as ‘young master.’
besides lin jing, li qingqing, and ye yun, only yue qi’s mother on this island knew the true identity of lin jue.
just then, li qingqing and ye yun saw lin jing and quickly ran over.
“brother lin jing…”
“master…”
