Chapter 152 - Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Passed the Examination, The True Purpose of Steward Zheng (2/2)
Steward Zheng paused for a moment before glancing at Lin Jing and said,
“But…”
“Why are the Elixir Medicines contributed by Lin Jing so few? Can you give me an explanation?”
“As expected, this is Steward Zheng’s real purpose…”
Lin Jing thought to himself.
“To respond to Steward Zheng…”
Steward Cheng bowed with his hands in front and then replied:
“The number of Elixir Medicines that Lin Jing contributes was set by Elder Bai previously at thirty per month, without any mistake…”
Steward Zheng, with a stern face, said,
“Elder Bails arrangement was from several months ago, wasn’t it?”
“Yes…” Steward Cheng replied. “Very well…”
Steward Zheng spoke again,
“I do not know for what reason Elder Bai previously allowed Lin Jing to contribute only thirty Elixir Medicines, but now I am in charge of Yuebaolou at Nanshan Market…”
“So we’ll have to go by my rules.”
After speaking, Steward Zheng’s entire demeanor surged with authority as he looked directly at Steward Cheng:
“Starting this month, Lin Jing, like all other Offering Priests, must contribute fifty Second Rank Elixir Medicines each month.”
“And out of these fifty, at least ten must be of a Superior grade.”
“During my tenure, no one, regardless of who they are, is allowed to be treated specially. ”
“Did you understand?”
After listening, Steward Cheng frowned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak again, he was interrupted by Lin Jing.
“I agree…”
Lin Jing spoke.
Steward Cheng looked at Lin Jing and then reminded him: “Lin Jing, that’s ten Superior Elixir Medicines…”
“I know…
“Steward Cheng, you can rest assured.”
Lin Jing spoke reassuringly.
Steward Zheng nodded and looked at Lin Jing saying,
“I have seen the Elixir Medicines you’ve made, they are no worse than those of the others. For a Second-Grade Alchemist, producing fifty in a month is not a very difficult task.”
“If you truly can’t produce them, then you don’t deserve to be an Offering Priest of my Yuebaolou.”
“I don’t care about the relationship you had with Elder Bai before, but during my time in charge, everyone is the same, everything depends on one’s own strength…”
“Do you understand?”
“Understood…”
“Steward Zheng, rest assured, there will not be one less than fifty Elixir Medicines when the time comes,” Lin Jing nodded and said.
“Hmm… ”
Steward Zheng nodded in approval and then arranged some matters with Steward Cheng before leaving the place.
After Steward Zheng left, only Lin Jing and Steward Cheng were left.
Steward Cheng then said,
“Lin Jing, can you really do it?”
“Producing ten Superior Elixir Medicines in a month is not easy…”
“Don’t worry, Steward Cheng…”
Lin Jing spoke, then half-jokingly added,
“If not, I can have Li Tangyu help me produce a few Superior Elixir Medicines, wouldn’t it be a light task for him to make ten Superior ones?”
“Right, why didn’t I think of that…”
Steward Cheng slapped his forehead and exclaimed.
“The Elixir Medicines to be contributed weren’t specified to be produced by the Pill Master themselves.”
“Li Tangyu is now a Third-Grade Alchemist, wouldn’t making these Second
Rank Elixir Medicines be a breeze for him ?”
After speaking, Steward Cheng then reminded,
“However, even so, you can’t keep troubling him…”
“Don’t worry, I have a sense of measure, and I won’t bother him until it’s absolutely necessary,” Lin Jing assured.
“That’s good then…” “Alright, let’s go too…”
“Okay…”
Having said that, the two of them too left the Alchemy Room..
