Chapter 144 - Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Elder Yu Emerges from Seclusion (2/2)
“Elder Bai, you’ve just returned and are going out again?
Elder Bai nodded:
‘Yes!”
“This time leaving is different from before, and the time may be longer…” “So before departing, there are still some matters I must explain to you.”
“Understood, Elder Bai…” Lin Jing nodded. Elder Bai gave an approving nod and said:
“Alright…”
“You may go back first, I still have some matters to attend to here.”
“Elder Bai, I take my leave.” Lin Jing bowed with his hands clasped and bid farewell to Elder Bai.
“Hmm… ”
Elder Bai uttered a response and then headed inside Yuebaolou.
After returning from Yuebaolou, Lin Jing did not go back to the small courtyard where he lived but instead sought out Huang Qingling first.
After informing Huang Qingling about the matters entrusted by Elder Bai, Lin Jing returned home.
Back at his own small courtyard, Lin Jing took a brief rest, then summoned the system and entered the System Space.
Upon arriving at the System Space, Lin Jing walked to Spirit Field Number One and looked at the few spirit plants in the field.
The Youth-Retaining Fruit Tree had already grown to ten feet tall and was still more than seven years from maturity.
There was also the Biling Flower, which grew quite slowly; it looked like only a seedling now, still eight years away from maturity.
The last was the Second Rank spirit plant Rockheart Grass, an auxiliary herb for creating Cultivation True Elixir, also growing in Spirit Field Number One.
These three spirit plants were the most precious ones Lin Jing had acquired so far.
Lin Jing checked the growing condition of the three spirit plants and found everything to be normal, so he paid them no further attention. He then went directly to the Alchemy Room to start stabilizing his cultivation base.
After cultivating through the night, Lin Jing tidied up and left the house, heading straight for Huang Qingling’s courtyard.
Arriving at Huang Qingling’s gate, he knocked.
Before long, Huang Qingling came out, and it appeared that it was just Huang Qingling alone.
Lin Jing asked:
“Where’s Little Sparrow?”
“It has flown out to hunt, no need to mind it. It will return on its own when it’s time,” Huang Qingling replied. “It has been like this for a while.” “I see…
“Let’s go then…” Lin Jing said.
“Alright…” Huang Qingling nodded.
Thereafter, the two of them walked together towards Yuebaolou.
Arriving at Yuebaolou, Lin Jing followed Huang Qingling, heading straight up the building, all the way to the top floor where Elder Bai used for his cultivation practice.
Just stepping into the top floor, the area was shrouded in formations as before, with a misty expanse around them.
“Old Man Bai, we’re here…” Huang Qingling called out.
No sooner had the words been spoken than the formation opened, and the white mist in front of them instantly dissipated.
They walked straight in and upon entering the room, saw Elder Bai and Elder Yu sitting there, drinking tea.
Seeing Lin Jing come over, Elder Yu spoke up immediately:
“Lin lad, I hear that during the time of my seclusion, you’ve advanced to a Second -Grade Alchemist?”
“Yes, Elder Yu…” Lin Jing replied.
“Not bad at all, just today I’ve seen the elixir medicines you submitted.
Although there are some imperfections, they indeed are at the level of a
Second -Grade Alchemist. ”
“It seems my judgement was not wrong, your talent for alchemy is indeed undeniable.”
“Thanks to Elder Yu’s guidance, without you, I could not have made such quick progress…” Lin Jing spoke.
Touching his beard, Elder Yu’s smile could not be concealed.
“Old man, I haven’t really done much to help you; it’s all due to your own efforts.”
“Enough about this…”
Continuing…
Elder Yu changed the subject and continued:
“You must already know about the departure of Old Bai and me….”
