If he were to go out now, his own aura would surely trigger the reaction of the spirit insect detector.

At that point, it would be able to find him based on the guidance of the spirit insect detector.

However, with The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon in his possession, Lin Jing could change his aura at will and potentially evade the detection of the spirit insect detector.

But…

Even if Lin Jing changed his disguise and aura, it would still not be wise to venture out hastily.

It would be less troublesome to wait for that Pill Master surnamed Wang to leave, and then he could go out without delay.

After all, Lin Jing was not in a rush, and instead of idling by, it seemed more practical to refine some Elixir Furnace Medicine.

“System, exit Observation Mode.”

Acting on his thoughts, Lin Jing immediately exited Observation Mode and headed to the Alchemy Room to start his busy work.

After waiting for some time and seeing no movement in the alley, the Pill Master surnamed Wang finally left the alley with furrowed brows.

After the Pill Master surnamed Wang left the alley…

It wasn’t long before Lin Jing finished refining a batch of Elixir Medicine, and he then re-entered Observation Mode to inspect the area, confirming that Pill Master Wang had indeed gone.

Only then did Lin Jing change his identity and aura again and leave through another exit of the alley.

Walking back, Lin Jing pondered continuously.

It was now impossible to follow this Pill Master Wang with the spirit insect detector present; no matter what, he could not evade it.

But without following him, he wouldn’t know the true intentions of Pill Master Wang, nor could he rashly accompany him to some Fourth Grade Pill Master’s cave dwelling.

Most importantly, he was extremely interested in acquiring that Spirit Grass.

Unless he could find a way to follow him without triggering the alarm of the spirit insect detector.

Just then, Lin Jing suddenly had a flash of inspiration as if he thought of something, and a smile played on his lips as he murmured to himself,

“How could I forget about it?”

Then…

Lin Jing strode towards his own residence.

After returning, Lin Jing didn’t go back to his own courtyard, but instead arrived at Huang Qingling’s courtyard.

The solution Lin Jing had thought of was Little Sparrow.

Little Sparrow was a Demonic Beast, and if it set out to follow, it would naturally not alert the spirit insect detector.

Moreover, it was small and swift, making it extremely difficult to detect.

Most crucially, it possessed a certain level of intelligence, which made it fully capable of completing the tracking task.

Following that, Lin Jing knocked on the door.

After a moment, Huang Qingling’s voice came from inside,

“Coming…”

However, the tone sounded somewhat subdued and lacked its usual liveliness as if she was not in a good mood.

The courtyard door then opened…

Lin Jing saw Huang Qingling, whose complexion clearly looked off, as if she had just been sulking.

Upon seeing Lin Jing standing at the doorway, her expression eased slightly.

“Lin Jing, is that you…”

“What brought you here today…”

Huang Qingling asked, looking at Lin Jing with curiosity.

“Well, I just finished submitting the Elixir Medicine today and decided to take a break from alchemy, rest a bit, and then come over to see you.” “What’s wrong with you? Who has upset you again?”

Huang Qingling huffed, “Who else could it be but that silly bird?”

“Little Sparrow?”

“How did it bother you again? Feel free to tell me…”

Lin Jing was very curious; at Huang Qingling’s place, Little Sparrow had become the typical example of the saying “every three days, without a beating, one climbs onto the roof to start trouble.”

Huang Qingling replied, posing a question back to Lin Jing,

“Since last time, has Little Sparrow come to you, asking for your help with making something to eat?”

Lin Jing thought for a moment and then suddenly remembered that Little Sparrow hadn’t come looking for him since it had been taken by Elder Bai for training last time.

With that realization, Lin Jing spoke,
