Chapter 157 - Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Rejection (2/2)
However, breakthroughs don’t happen overnight, so Lin Jing wasn’t in a hurry at all.
After packing up, Lin Jing left the house.
Arriving at Yuebaolou, he went directly to the backyard to submit the elixir medicines.
At the moment, Steward Cheng was still present there, who had previously mentioned that he would be stationed at this spot until Elder Bai and Elder Yu returned.
“Steward Cheng.”
Upon seeing Steward Cheng, Lin Jing greeted him first.
“Lin Jing, you’re here…”
“How have you been lately?”
“I’ve heard from others that you even spent your own money on some Second Rank materials…”
“How is it? Are you in need of Spirit Stones? Let me know if you are, I have some.”
The moment he saw Lin Jing, Steward Cheng blurted out a stream of words.
The concern in his voice was especially evident.
Lin Jing responded:
“Steward Cheng, don’t worry, I have enough Spirit Stones.”
“Besides, the materials I purchased were not wasted. I made extra elixir medicines and sold them directly to the pavilion, which helped me break even quite a bit.”
“To be honest, I’ve even made a little profit.”
Since becoming an Offering Priest for Yuebaolou, Lin Jing had been selling some low-grade elixir medicines to the pavilion.
After all, as an alchemist, one produces a sizable quantity of elixir medicines each month, and the low-grade ones were countless.
This was why there were grade restrictions for Yuebaolou’s Offering Priests.
In the process of making superior elixir medicines, one would inevitably produce a large amount of low-grade ones, and Yuebaolou had dozens of Offering Priests who were alchemists.
Much of the time, the cultivators in Fang Market used the low-grade elixir medicines, and even medium-grade ones only occasionally.
Not to mention the superior, supreme, and even the Pure Elixirs.
Those were exclusive to sects, clan heirs, and their ilk. The numerous loose cultivators could hardly afford them.
After listening to Lin Jing, Steward Cheng nodded, then stretched out his hand and said:
“Let’s see the elixir medicines you brought,”
“Alright…”
Finishing his reply, Lin Jing took out several small porcelain bottles from his Storage Bag and handed them to Steward Cheng.
Steward Cheng took the small bottles, poured out the elixir medicines, and examined them carefully in his hand.
After a while, Steward Cheng looked up and said:
“These elixir medicines are quite good…”
“Did you refine these alone, or did you ask Li Tangyu for help?” Steward Cheng then quietly asked.
“I’ve been alchemizing non-stop by myself recently, barely managing to complete the task,” Lin Jing replied. “Good boy, nicely done…”
Steward Cheng smiled broadly and said:
“Previously, Elder Yu said you had exceptional talent for the Alchemy Dao, I was somewhat skeptical, but now I believe it…”
“It’s been less than half a year since you were promoted to a Second Rank Pill
Master, and you’ve already been able to complete the tasks of an Offering
Priest for Yuebaolou on your own.”
“As far as I know, you’re the only one…”
“I hope Steward Cheng can keep this a secret…” Lin Jing spoke to Steward Cheng.
“Rest assured…”
Steward Cheng, knowing Lin Jing’s disposition of not enjoying socializing, agreed immediately.
Subsequently, Lin Jing stayed with Steward Cheng for a while longer, collecting his monthly alchemy ingredients.
After greeting Steward Cheng, he left.
As Lin Jing was about to go back after leaving Steward Cheng’s place, he had barely stepped out of Yuebaolou when someone called out to him.
“Lin Daoyou….”
