Chapter 431 - Chapter 431: Chapter 131: 10 Years (2/2)

“i want to know, what is really going on with my brother?”

seeing the resolute li qingqing before him, lin jing sighed helplessly and said:

“qingqing…”

“sometimes, when we don’t tell you things, it’s actually because we don’t want you to worry.”

“we are already figuring out a solution to your brother’s issue, so don’t stress over it. just focus on your cultivation and strive to advance to the golden core stage as soon as possible.”

after saying this, lin jing planned to leave.

but li qingqing was somewhat anxious, and immediately extended her arms, blocking lin jing’s way:

“lin jing, are you going to keep it from me too?”

“my brother is now in the demon cave, how can i not worry?”

“lin jing…”

“even if i beg you, just tell me…”

“also, how can i help my brother?”

seeing li qingqing’s pitiful, pleading eyes, lin jing’s heart softened, and then he said:

“qing qing…”

“you actually don’t need to be like this; in fact, there are some issues with the cultivation technique your brother is practicing.”

“however…”

“we have already figured out a solution just now.”

“your brother, for the time being, won’t be in any danger, so you can rest assured…”

“and…”

“if you want to help your brother, then work hard on your cultivation and strive to advance to the golden core stage as soon as possible.”

“when you reach the golden core stage and have a certain amount of strength, you should be able to help him.”

li qingqing lifted her head and looked into lin jing’s eyes, asking:

“is that really so?”

lin jing looked straight into li qingqing’s eyes and nodded:

“yes…”

only then did li qingqing feel relieved, and she said to lin jing:

“alright, lin jing…”

“i will focus on my cultivation and strive to advance to the golden core stage as soon as possible.”

after speaking, li qingqing left…

after li qingqing departed, lin jing also turned around and went back to his own room.

then he took out a prescription from his storage bag and started to examine it.

this prescription was what the lady in white had given, the formula for the cleansing spirit elixir.

this cleansing spirit elixir was indeed a good thing; lin jing still needed to study it thoroughly…

…

…

time flies quickly, and before you know it, it has already passed…

soon.

ten years had already gone by.

during these ten years, lin jing seldom went out, spending most of his time cultivating on li yan island, as well as practicing alchemy.

meanwhile, li yan island continued to develop steadily.

now, li yan island had gained some fame in the nearby waters.

especially li yan fang market, where there was a large influx of cultivators from other islands coming to trade every day.

even some island masters would occasionally come to li yan fang market, seeking the spirit plants or elixir medicines they needed.

actually, this was all thanks to the cultivation of spirit plants on li yan island and the elixir medicines that lin jing had refined…

……

since lin jing had spoken about that matter to li qingqing ten years ago, li qingqing started to cultivate wholeheartedly.

finally, she successfully passed the heavenly tribulation and advanced to the golden core stage after one year.

apart from li qingqing, several others on flame island also advanced to the golden core stage with lin jing’s assistance.

these individuals all made significant contributions to flame island and, after being tested, proved they would never betray lin jing.

as for the others, even if they had been at the foundation establishment peak for many years, lin jing wouldn’t lend them a hand.

even.

lin jue and ye yun also advanced to the golden core stage two years ago, one after another.

and lin jue, just like li qingqing, is now a third-grade pill master.

only, li qingqing is about to be promoted to a fourth-grade pill master.

as for ye yun, he is now a disciple of lin jing.

after ye yun had perfected the seven refinement body forging technique and entered the golden core stage, lin jing passed on the overlord divine physique to him as well.

upon receiving the inheritance of the overlord divine physique, ye yun immediately knelt down and asked to take lin jing as his master.

and with lin jue’s persuasion, lin jing also accepted ye yun.

after such a long time together, lin jing had long recognized that ye yun was loyal and utterly reliable.

there was also an interesting development; lin jue had revealed her true identity to both ye yun and li qingqing.

after learning of this, li qingqing was a little surprised but didn’t have much of a reaction.

ye yun, on the other hand, was flustered and at a loss.

due to ye yun’s personality, he had never been good at interacting with girls since he was young.

before, when lin jue pretended to be a boy, ye yun didn’t think much of it, but now that his comrade of many years suddenly became a girl, he didn’t know how to interact with her.

the two could never return to their previous way of interaction.

especially ye yun, who now turns red-faced and makes excuses to get away after only speaking a few words to lin jue.

which frustrated lin jue to no end.

and now, to avoid lin jue, ye yun spent most of his time at the earthflame spring, practicing cultivation.

of course, besides cultivating and practicing alchemy, lin jing would at times go to li yan city to spend some time with yue qi’s mother.

he let them slowly familiarize themselves with li yan city and li yan fang market because, after all, they were expected to help manage flame island in the future.

…

…

of course…

apart from them, the one who made the most rapid progress in these ten years was unquestionably lin jing.

whether it was his cultivation or his alchemy dao, lin jing had improved significantly…
