“Forget it, let’s head out too,”
Steward Cheng spoke again:
“You should rest well tonight, for tomorrow you’ll need to consecutively refine three furnaces of elixir medicine, and that is indeed a very taxing task.”
“Mm…” Lin Jing nodded, acknowledging with a hum.
Then, the two of them left together.
Back to his small courtyard…
Lin Jing began to meditate and cultivate as usual.
He continued to cultivate until the afternoon when he was roused by a series of knocks on the door.
Lin Jing got up and went outside.
When he opened the courtyard door, he found Huang Qingling standing at the door, accompanied by Li Tangyu and Li Qingqing.
“Why didn’t you tell me about the examination?”
As soon as the door opened, Huang Qingling asked urgently.
“Qing Ling Daoyou, come in, let’s talk inside…”
Lin Jing said to Huang Qingling.
“Brother Li…”
“Qing Qing Daoyou, please come inside…”
Huang Qingling understood that the doorway was not the place for discussion, so he walked into the courtyard.
Li Tangyu and Li Qingqing also followed him inside.
Lin Jing then closed the courtyard gate and followed them in.
As soon as they entered the room, Huang Qingling started speaking.
“I heard that this new steward Zheng specifically came to trouble you, is that
SO
Huang Qingling’s gaze was penetrating as she looked at Lin Jing and asked.
“It’s just an examination, nothing serious. There’s actually no need to panic, Qing Ling Daoyou,”
Lin Jing’s expression remained calm, showing not the slightest bit of agitation.
“Brother Lin…”
“What did steward Zheng set for your examination this time?” Li Tangyu asked, his expression grave.
Lin Jing looked at Li Tangyu and then spoke:
“The examination is actually quite straightforward.”
“You have to refine a second-rank superior elixir within three furnaces.” “Three furnaces, to refine a single…”
“Indeed, the examination doesn’t seem difficult,” Li Tangyu nodded as he said.
After speaking, Li Tangyu lifted his head and said to Lin Jing:
“But that’s relative to others…”
“I recall that just last month you were only just able to refine medium-grade elixirs.”
After speaking, Li Tangyu’s brow furrowed:
‘You know, those are second rank superior elixirs; with your current skill level, it might be quite challenging.”
While Li Tangyu spoke of the difficulty, in his heart, he didn’t quite believe that Lin Jing could successfully refine it.
Because the improvement in alchemy skills requires a lot of time, non-stop practice and refinement to gradually get better, it’s not something that happens overnight.
And now Lin Jing, who had just advanced to a second rank Pill Master not long ago, didn’t have enough experience; the likelihood of him being able to refine a superior elixir was small.
Of course…
Unless he was very lucky, it was possible to refine one.
But that probability was incredibly slim, relying merely on chance… “If it doesn’t work out, I’ll go to steward Zheng.”
Hearing Li Tangyu’s words, Huang Qingling seemed somewhat anxious. “Qing Ling Daoyou, don’t worry, it’s okay…”
Lin Jing quickly reassured and repeated the same explanation he had given to
Steward Cheng.
“During our discussion of alchemy techniques last time, I had some realizations, and it seems like my understanding of Alchemy Dao has improved.”
“Dealing with this examination shouldn’t be a problem…”
“Brother Lin, the last time you mentioned, was it that time I got drunk?” Li Tangyu suddenly looked up and asked Lin Jing.
“Yes, that’s the time!”
“Also, I’ve found that…”
“Brother Li, when you are drunk, you tend to talk quite a bit.”
“You’re much cuter then…,” Lin Jing teased.
