Lin Jing, after parting with the two individuals, arrived at the place where elixir medicines were to be submitted.
Upon entering the room, Lin Jing did not see the steward who had always been present there before.
Instead, it was Steward Cheng.
Steward Cheng, seeing Lin Jing’s arrival, greeted him with a smile, saying,
“Ah, have you refined enough elixir medicines to come make your submission?”
Lin Jing replied,
“Yes, Steward Cheng…”
Having said this, Lin Jing then inquired,
“Steward Cheng, how come you’re here, where’s the previous steward?”
“He has some urgent matters to attend to, so he asked me to fill in for him temporarily.”
“I see…” Lin Jing responded.
Then, Lin Jing took out several small porcelain bottles from the Storage Bag and handed them to Steward Cheng,
“Steward Cheng, these are the elixir medicines I need to submit, thirty in total, please examine them.”
Since Lin Jing was now a Second Rank Alchemist, the elixir medicines he needed to submit were also upgraded to second rank medicines.
And because Lin Jing had only recently been promoted to Second-Grade Alchemist, Elder Bai had given him a certain level of consideration.
Therefore…
Lin Jing now only needed to submit thirty second rank elixir medicines each month.
While other Offering Priests had to submit at least fifty second rank elixir medicines, and they also had to include a certain number of superior grade elixir medicines to qualify.
There was no such quality requirement for the elixir medicines Lin Jing submitted.
Of course…
This consideration was definitely time-limited, it was estimated that after half a year, Lin Jing’s alchemy requirements would gradually increase until they matched everyone else’s.
In order not to draw attention, most of the elixir medicines Lin Jing submitted were of Low Grade, though there were also a few of Medium Grade.
According to the refinement success rate of a newly advanced Second-Grade Pill Master, this was just about right and would not arouse suspicion from others.
Steward Cheng opened the small porcelain bottles, checked them, and then nodded, saying,
“Hmm, this is fine, you’ve made great progress…”
“Compared to the elixir medicines you submitted last month, these are already quite good, keep it up.”
“It’s mostly thanks to Elder Yu’s previous guidance,” Lin Jing said humbly.
Steward Cheng waved his hand and said,
“Elder Yu’s guidance is only part of it…’
“Of course, you’ve worked hard yourself, there’s no need to be overly modest…”
After saying this, Steward Cheng changed the topic,
“Up next, you’ll want to collect the alchemy ingredients, right…”
“Yes, Steward Cheng…” Lin Jing said.
“I have already prepared everything…”
Upon saying this, Steward Cheng took out a package from within his Storage Bag.
“A total of 100 portions of second rank alchemy ingredients, all already sorted, so you don’t need to sort them yourself and can use them directly for alchemy.” “Thank you, Steward Cheng…” Lin Jing bowed with his hands clasped.
Having collected the materials and leaving the inner courtyard, Lin Jing was about to head back when, he saw Elder Bai walking toward this place.
Elder Bai had actually returned!
Lin Jing calculated that this time Elder Bai had been away was not short, a good month or more.
Lin Jing stepped forward and bowed with his hands clasped, saying,
‘Elder Bai…’
Elder Bai had already spotted Lin Jing. “Hmm…’
Elder Bai nodded and then spoke,
“Running into you is perfect, Elder Yu will exit seclusion tomorrow; you call Qing Ling over, and both of you come by tomorrow…”
“Once Elder Yu exits seclusion, we might have to leave for a while, and there are some matters I need to instruct you about.”
Lin Jing, puzzled, spoke,
