Chapter 275 - Chapter 275: Chapter 257: Midnight Visitor (2/2)

because he was afraid someone might suddenly visit during the day.

Refining a Third-Rank elixir required too much time.

If someone were to disturb him, it would be easy for the process to be interrupted.

If that happened, the loss would be substantial.

Seeing that it was already late at night, Lin Jing thought it unlikely that anyone would come to disturb him.

So once again, he entered the System Space.

This time.

Lin Jing did not plan to directly refine the Cultivation True Elixir.

Instead, he decided to warm up with a batch of Second-Rank elixirs first.

For Lin Jing, refining Second-Rank elixirs was now a skill mastered with ease, not requiring too much effort.

Entering the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing pondered for a moment.

He directly took out a set of ingredients for the Rejuvenation Elixir from his Storage Bag.

Lin Jing decided that the elixir used for warming up would be the relatively simpler Rejuvenation Elixir.

Next, Lin Jing approached the Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace.

As usual, he followed the thoroughly familiar process step by step, preparing for the alchemy…

…

…

After more than an hour, a system voice sounded.

“Ding!”

“System Notification: Congratulations to the host for refining a Pure Elixir, reward earned: 10 Harvest Points.”

“Due to the host’s Pill Master level being too high, refining lower-rank elixirs will no longer yield proficiency.”

This time, another Pure Elixir emerged from the furnace.

The latter reminder, however, left Lin Jing somewhat stunned.

Pill Master level too high…

He was currently a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, refining a Second-Rank elixir.

That was two whole ranks apart.

It seems that if he wished to advance to a Fifth-Rank Pill Master, he would need to refine more Third-Rank elixirs in addition to Fourth-Grade ones.

Third-Rank Spiritual Plants were not as easily obtained as Second-Rank ones.

He surmised that in the future, his path as a Pill Master may become exceedingly difficult.

Afterwards.

Lin Jing opened the furnace lid and collected the few elixirs inside.

And that Pure Elixir, Lin Jing placed it into a Pure Jade Box.

Moreover, it was a Pure Jade Box marked with the insignia of Elixir Valley.

Having done all this.

Lin Jing then began to sit and meditate to recover.

Although refining Second-Rank elixirs did not consume much of his strength.

But to refine the Cultivation True Elixir.

Lin Jing needed to give it his all.

He needed to be in a perfect state before he could commence the refining process.

Just as Lin Jing was meditating.

Suddenly.

A system alert chimed:

“Alert!”

“An intruder has breached the perimeter, please respond promptly, Host.”

“Is someone coming?”

“But it’s already nighttime, who else would come at this hour?”

Hearing the system alert, Lin Jing immediately opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

Then, Lin Jing summoned the System:

“System, enter Observation Mode.”

No matter who the visitor was, it was only logical for Lin Jing to observe first.

No sooner had he spoken than his view switched to Observation Mode, appearing above the courtyard.

The Observation Mode view here was obstructed by buildings, so he couldn’t see the situation at the porch.

Lin Jing then shifted his perspective to the entrance.

At this time, two people stood at the doorway.

These two people.

Were none other than Senior Han and Chen Xing…
