Chapter 271: Chapter 253: Breakthrough, Foundation Establishment Level 6
Chen Xing nodded and said,
“Okay.”
After speaking, Han Jing turned to Chen Xing and reminded him,
“And you, you need to be careful as well, remember not to expose any flaws.”
Chen Xing, smiling, responded,
“With the tasks at hand, Senior Han, rest assured.”
……
Time always flies.
In a blink, another three months had passed.
Today, Lin Jing’s courtyard was bustling.
Alongside Huang Qingling, there were Elder Bai and Elder Yu.
It was now the dead of winter.
Even the phoenix tree in Lin Jing’s courtyard had shed all its leaves, leaving nothing but bare branches.
However, successive days of heavy snow had re-decorated the tree,
draping the branches of the phoenix tree in a blanket of white.
It certainly offered a unique charm.
At this moment, several people were sitting together inside the house, each with a teacup in front of them, from which wisps of steam rose.
The whole room was filled with the fragrance of tea.
This spiritual tea was part of Elder Bai’s collection, yet Elder Yu, driven by his cravings, had taken it out.
Elder Bai could only sigh in resignation at the antics of his old friend.
……
The issue Elder Yu had just mentioned left Lin Jing in a daze for a moment before he spoke up, asking Elder Yu,
“Elder Yu, did you just imply that you want me to manage Yuebaolou?”
“But I’m only at the ninth layer of Qi Refinement, not yet at the Foundation Establishment Stage, how can I manage it?”
Lin Jing looked at Elder Yu, quite puzzled.
Elder Yu picked up his teacup, took a gentle sip, and then said,
“It’s only temporary…”
“I want you to start by working with Steward Cheng for a few months. After this period, once the crisis is over, it is very likely that I will be transferred to another Immortal City.”
“I wish to have you with me for a while to train further…”
“Once you reach Foundation Establishment, basically, it’ll be up to you where you want to go.”
“What are your thoughts?”
After finishing, Elder Yu looked towards Lin Jing.
Lin Jing also instantly understood.
Elder Yu was planning to take him to another Immortal City.
Lin Jing nodded and said,
“I am naturally willing to learn under Elder Yu.”
“Just that…”
Lin Jing glanced at Elder Bai opposite him, then turned to look at Huang Qingling,
“Does this not mean I will have to part with Elder Bai and Fellow Daoist Qing Ling?”
“Ah…”
“Are Elder Yu and Lin Jing to separate from us?”
Huang Qingling, who had been gazing out at the snowy landscape through the window, only then registered the conversation.
Before Elder Yu could reply, Elder Bai immediately spoke up,
“Separation is inevitable, but do not worry.”
“The assignment for Elder Yu would likely involve one of the nearby Immortal Cities.”
“Ever since the Demon Race Secret Realm opened a few months ago, Yuebaolou in Linxian City has been in need of an attendant.”
“So, it is very likely that Elder Yu will be placed in Linxian City.”
“Linxian City…” Lin Jing spoke up, instantly recalling Ning Yue.
Ning Yue’s Ning Family was based in Linxian City.
Since the Yun Family moved to Nanshan Market, the Ning Family could be said to be the foremost cultivator family in Linxian City.
Linxian City was not exactly far from Nanshan Immortal City,
but it wasn’t close either.
However, it seemed that Elder Yu and Elder Bai had already discussed this.
Huang Qingling pouted at this moment, seemingly a bit unhappy.
“Ah…”
“Linxian City, that’s quite far…”
However, Elder Bai did not pay heed to Huang Qingling’s slight moodiness.
At this moment, Lin Jing continued to ask,
“Elder Bai, Elder Yu…”
