“What would you like us to witness, Steward Zheng?”
Someone asked.
“Of course, it’s to witness the fairness and integrity of Yuebaolou,” Steward Zheng said, his expression suddenly became serious.
I’ve just arrived at Yuebaolou of Nanshan Market, and I’ve discovered something.
“As Pill Masters offering their services to Yuebaolou, some are receiving special treatment…”
“I was quite shocked to learn about this; after all, Yuebaolou has always been fair, treating every Offering Priest the same.”
“And now, someone has been given special privileges…”
“Doesn’t this compromise the principles of fairness and integrity of
Yuebaolou…”
Lin Jing immediately understood.
Among all the Offering Priests, only he received special treatment.
Steward Zheng continued to speak:
“To ensure the credibility of Yuebaolou, I’ve decided to conduct an assessment of all Offering Priests.”
“Those who pass will continue as Yuebaolou’s Offering Alchemists.”
“But those who fail will have their status as Offering Priests revoked and all benefits provided by Yuebaolou will be withdrawn.”
The newly arrived Steward Zheng spoke in front, while the Offering Priests all listened in silence, paying close attention.
Steward Zheng scanned the crowd and deliberately paused in the direction where Lin Jing stood, then continued:
“As for the content of the assessment, I have already decided.”
“That is to refine Second Rank Elixir Medicine!”
“Each Offering Priest will have three opportunities.”
“The requirement is to produce at least one Second Rank Superior Elixir Medicine among these three attempts.”
After finishing his speech, Steward Zheng glanced over the crowd and then asked:
“This should be quite easy for all of you, shouldn’t it?”
No sooner had Steward Zheng’s words ended when someone responded:
“No problem, it’s a trivial matter…”
“Of course, there’s no problem at all—it’s just one Superior Elixir Medicine…”
“A Superior Elixir Medicine, as long as we’re not extremely unlucky, with our Alchemy Technique, it should be a breeze.”
And the other Offering Priests also began discussing amongst themselves.
At this time, many people stealthily glanced at Lin Jing.
Because…
Everybody knew that this assessment wouldn’t be a problem for them…
But Lin Jing was different.
They knew Lin Jing’s situation all too well; he had been promoted to a Second -Grade Alchemist less than half a year ago, and facing this assessment now, he was likely to have difficulty passing.
Moreover, Lin Jing was Elder Yu’s nephew, and this new Steward Zheng started conducting assessments as soon as he arrived.
This inevitably led people to speculate.
Lin Jing ignored everyone’s gazes, standing calmly and steadily without any signs of panic.
Next to Steward Zheng, Steward Cheng furrowed his brow and said in a low voice:
“Steward Zheng, about Lin Jing…”
Before Steward Cheng could continue, he was interrupted by Steward Zheng.
“Haven’t I already said that this assessment will be fair and impartial, without favoritism towards anyone?”
“But Elder Yu, he…”
At that moment, Steward Zheng’s expression darkened, glancing towards Steward Cheng:
“What, are you planning to defy the rules of Yiyun Pavilion?”
“I wouldn’t dare…” Steward Cheng bowed his hands and said.
‘Good, as long as you understand,” Steward Zheng then withdrew his gaze and turned towards Lin Jing.
He continued:
“Now, since I am the Steward of Yuebaolou at Nanshan Fang Market, it goes without saying that I have Yuebaolou’s best interests in mind. Even if Elder Yu were here. I’d do the same ”
