Chapter 358 - Chapter 358: Chapter 59 Searching for a 4th-Grade Alchemist (2/2)
“Ah…?”
“So that’s how it is…”
Yan Wanfei frowned and said,
“I had only heard that Bihai City had a Fourth-Grade Alchemist; I didn’t expect it to be so troublesome. What should we do next?”
Lu Youjiu spoke helplessly,
“We can only do this…”
“You all go and look for the materials. If we gather those materials, we’ll find an Alchemist from Bihai City to craft the Nirvana Elixir.”
“The success rate is low…”
“Let it be lower then, it’s still better than nothing.”
“It’s a pity that the rules of the Changyun Elixir Pavilion are too rigid. If possible, having a Pill Master from the Changyun Elixir Pavilion craft it would greatly increase the chances of success.”
“If we really can’t gather the remaining materials, then I plan to force a breakthrough…”
Lu Youjiu had barely finished speaking when Holaw Three Rivers and Yan Wanfei quickly objected,
“That won’t do…”
“Without the accumulation from the Nirvana Elixir, forcing an advancement and invoking the Heavenly Tribulation would be too risky with a high failure rate; it’s definitely not feasible.”
“Besides, you haven’t been accumulating for long, and your foundation isn’t sufficient, even more reason not to force the Heavenly Tribulation.”
“Cough… cough…”
Just then, Lin Jing suddenly coughed twice.
The three of them turned around, looking puzzled at Lin Jing.
“Brother Lin, what’s wrong with you? Could it be that you’re injured?” Yan Wanfei asked with concern.
Lin Jing looked at the three of them and then said,
“Actually, I am a Fourth-Grade Alchemist…”
Hearing Lin Jing’s words, the three were momentarily stunned.
“You’re a Fourth-Grade Alchemist…”
Lin Jing nodded and said,
“Yes…”
“That’s really wonderful! Now we don’t have to worry about finding another Pill Master.” Yan Wanfei was very excited.
Holaw Three Rivers then asked,
“May I ask, Brother Lin, since you advanced to a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, how many batches of Fourth-Rank Elixir Medicines have you crafted? What’s your success rate like?”
As Holaw Three Rivers’s words fell, Yan Wanfei eagerly asked,
“Yes, Brother Lin, how’s your success rate?”
“Previously, when I was in Bihai City…”
“I met those Fourth-Grade Alchemists, each bragging about how many batches of Fourth-Rank Elixir Medicines they have crafted, and their success rates were supposedly this and that…”
“Each one tilted their noses to the sky, never looking people in the eye, nearly infuriating me to death.”
“If it hadn’t been Bihai City, I would definitely have given them a thrashing.”
Lin Jing had also spent several days in Bihai City and naturally paid attention to those Fourth-Grade Alchemists, knowing their arrogance in Bihai City.
There was no helping it, after all, they were Fourth-Grade Alchemists.
Back in Nanming Immortal City, there was only one Fourth-Grade Alchemist, the old master from the Li Family.
While Bihai City was much larger than Nanshan Immortal City had been and high-grade materials were easier to obtain, the number of Fourth-Grade Alchemists was still not large.
In the entire Bihai City, they totaled no more than five.
Facing the gazes of the three, Lin Jing also felt somewhat embarrassed.
“Well…”
“It’s been some time since I advanced to a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, but due to limited conditions, I have never crafted a batch of Fourth-Rank Elixir Medicines.”
What Lin Jing said was the truth.
On his own, collecting those Fourth-Rank Spirit Plants was exceedingly difficult, even though his proficiency was sufficient to elevate himself to the level of a Fourth-Grade Alchemist.
Yet, he still hadn’t crafted even a single batch of Fourth-Rank Elixir Medicines.
Although he had never crafted Fourth-Rank Elixir Medicines,
Lin Jing believed that even without the enhancement of the system’s Alchemy Room, his success rate for crafting Fourth-Rank Elixir Medicines would definitely be far stronger than those of the Fourth-Grade Alchemists in Bihai City.
Not to mention, he had the additional success rate boost from the Alchemy Room.
……
Lin Jing’s words left Lu Youjiu and the other two feeling somewhat disheartened.
Yan Wanfei’s face showed a tinge of regret as he said,
“Brother Lin…”
“It’s not that I don’t believe you, but you’ve never crafted even one batch of Fourth-Rank Elixir Medicines.”
“The Elixir Medicine we are trying to craft this time is the Nirvana Elixir, which is among the most difficult to make within Fourth-Rank Elixir Medicines. I’m afraid you really can’t guarantee success.”
After speaking, Yan Wanfei turned his head and addressed Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers,
“I think we should find someone else. If not, we can offer a large sum of money and see if we can make arrangements with someone from the Changyun Elixir Pavilion.”
This time, Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers, unusually agreeing with Yan Wanfei’s suggestion,
The scene left Lin Jing speechless, as not a single person trusted him.
However.
According to their thinking, there was indeed no mistake.
A Fourth-Grade Alchemist who had never crafted a single batch of Fourth-Rank Elixir Medicines, how could they be trusted?
After all.
They didn’t know that Lin Jing was a descendant of the Lin Family, a lineage from the Ancient Alchemy Path, and that he possessed a heaven-defying object like the system.
This matter was of great importance and even tied to Lin Jing’s very life; entrusting the crafting of the Elixir Medicine to others, Lin Jing truly couldn’t be at ease.
Even if it was the Changyun Elixir Pavilion, another lineage from the Ancient Alchemy Path, it was the same.
He must craft the Elixir Medicine himself.
And since the three of them didn’t trust him, Lin Jing thought that if he continued to hide his abilities, it would seem unreasonable.
Now, he had to make a stand.
