Chapter 146 - Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Deacon Zheng (2/2)
So, if Lin Jing fails to pass the assessment this time, his identity as an offering Pill Master might very likely be revoked.
“All right, I have delivered the message.”
“I need to inform the other Daoyous, so I will take my leave now…” Having said that, Yu Yan turned and prepared to leave.
“Thank you, Yu Daoyou, for informing me of this matter,” Lin Jing said, clasping his fists in gratitude.
“It’s not necessary…”
“Lin Daoyou, it would be best if you prepare in advance…”
Yu Yan turned back, advising Lin Jing.
After finishing his words, Yu Yan left.
After Yu Yan departed, Lin Jing shut the door and returned to his small courtyard.
Back inside his house, Lin Jing sat there pondering the matter.
He wondered whether the assessment mentioned by Yu Yan was a spontaneous decision by Steward Zheng or if there were other reasons behind it…
Lin Jing had no way of knowing.
But…
He wasn’t worried at all, as with his true level, passing the assessment would be a breeze.
If even with his skill level of a third-grade alchemist he couldn’t pass this assessment, then even less so could anyone else.
Moreover…
Lin Jing also didn’t have to worry about his true strength being exposed because, aside from technique, luck also played a significant part in alchemy.
Even those alchemists whose skills were not quite mature could sometimes have exceptionally good luck, producing elixirs that were even better than those made by more experienced Pill Masters.
It was even possible to directly produce a Pure Elixir.
So there was absolutely no need for concern.
Having thought this through, Lin Jing continued back to the System Space to start making elixirs.
The next day…
Lin Jing arrived early at the Yuebaolou.
After reaching Yuebaolou, he was told to directly gather at the alchemy room of Yuebaolou.
“Alchemy room…”
Lin Jing’s heart stirred, and he thought to himself: “As expected, is this the assessment?”
Then, Lin Jing made his way toward the alchemy room.
On the way, Lin Jing also encountered several Pill Master offering priests.
And like Lin Jing, they were also heading to the alchemy room to gather.
Lin Jing followed them and together they arrived at the alchemy room.
Upon entering, Lin Jing found that many Pill Master offering priests were already there.
At the same time…
Lin Jing also saw Yu Yan and a Pill Master with the surname Wang.
After Lin Jing arrived,
Many people greeted Lin Jing upon seeing him, and Lin Jing responded simply to their greetings.
Afterward, he stayed in an inconspicuous corner, waiting for everyone to arrive.
As they did so, they waited another half an hour before all the offering priests were fully assembled.
It was only then…
Two people pushed the door and walked in.
Lin Jing recognized one of them; it was Steward Cheng, who was close to Elder
The other, a dark-faced elder who walked in front of Steward Cheng, was someone Lin Jing had never seen before.
Presumably, he must be the new Steward Zheng.
The two made their way through the crowd and came to the front of everyone.
At this moment, the dark-faced elder began to speak.
“I apologize for keeping everyone waiting…”
“I assume some of you do not know me yet, so let me introduce myself.”
“I am the new steward of Yuebaolou, my surname is Zheng, and you can just call me Steward Zheng.”
“We have seen Steward Zheng…”
Immediately, some people clasped their hands and addressed Steward Zheng. “There is no need to be so formal…” Steward Zheng raised his hand to stop them.
“Before Elder Bai returns, I will be temporarily managing the Yuebaolou in Nanshan Market.”
“The reason I called everyone here today is to simply talk to you all and also to have you witness something..”
