The Pill Master with the surname Wang fell silent for a moment before speaking:
“To be honest, my seeking out Lin Daoyou actually carries another meaning.”
“That is because of Elder Yu… ‘
“I am aware that you and Elder Yu share an extraordinary relationship.”
“The reason I invited Lin Daoyou is to ask you to put in a few good words for me in front of Elder Yu and, hopefully, have Elder Yu give me some guidance.”
“After all, guidance from a Golden Core Immortal is incredibly hard to come by.”
“Of course… ‘
“If you could also secure a managerial position for me at Yuebaolou, that would be even better.”
The Pill Master with the surname Wang smiled broadly as he stood up to pour Lin Jing another cup of wine.
“With Elder Yu’s recommendation, I believe even Elder Bai would take it seriously.”
“If the position of manager is too much to ask for… ”
The Pill Master with the surname Wang paused here, seemingly reluctant to continue.
After a moment, as if he had made a decision, he raised his cup towards Lin Jing across the space and said:
“Then forget it… ”
“I will just consider it having made a friend in Lin Daoyou. I only hope that Lin Daoyou can look after me a little in our future interactions, That alone would satisfy me.”
Having said that, the Pill Master with the surname Wang drained the old wine in his cup in one gulp.
After listening to what the Pill Master with the surname Wang had said, Lin Jing fell into contemplation.
From the words just spoken, Lin Jing could ascertain that eighty percent of this man’s words were false, even though the reasons he gave sounded sufficient.
However, there were significant loopholes, one being that they were not close, and he knew too little about Lin Jing, thinking Lin Jing was like him, to be tempted by the allure of a Fourth Grade Pill Master’s dwelling and be confused.
Moreover, Yuebaolou is backed by Yiyun Pavilion, and even if Elder Yu became a Golden Core Immortal, it was unlikely he would be able to influence the personnel arrangements of Yuebaolou.
Of course, Lin Jing was aware of this, but the Pill Master with the surname Wang might not be.
Yet, given their limited interactions, why would this man go to such lengths puzzled Lin Jing.
Seeing Lin Jing’s hesitation, the Pill Master with the surname Wang once again spoke:
“Lin Daoyou, what do you think?”
“You can be assured that besides myself, no one else can find that cave dwelling, so there is absolutely no need to worry about being beaten to it.” After pondering for a while, Lin Jing finally said:
“This matter is too significant, I cannot make a decision right away. I need to carefully consider it before I give you an answer.”
“I see… ”
Seeing that Lin Jing did not outright refuse, the Pill Master with the surname Wang’s face showed a hint of joy, and he said:
“Indeed… ‘
“However, Lin Daoyou, you must make your decision quickly. After all, the sooner the treasure is in one’s possession, the sooner one can be at ease, right?”
“Also, I hope Lin Daoyou will keep this matter confidential.’
“After all, this is a Fourth Grade Pill Master’s dwelling. If leaked recklessly, it might cause unnecessary trouble… ”
“I am well aware of that…” Lin Jing replied.
“Then I will return to give this further thought. If I come to a decision, I will inform you,”
“Farewell, Pill Master Wang.”
After speaking, Lin Jing turned and left the tavern.
After leaving, Lin Jing found a secluded alley and entered the System Space.
Inside the System Space, Lin Jing changed into a different set of clothes.
He then activated The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon, altering his appearance and aura, disguising himself as a stout man.
Then he exited the System Space.
The behavior of the Pill Master with the surname Wang was just too suspicious.
