Chapter 77 - Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Terminate the Lease (2/2)
“Not to hide from you, Manager Jiang, but I’m now an Offering Priest Alchemist for Yuebaolou, so…”
“An Offering Priest Alchemist for Yuebaolou?!?” Manager Jiang was even more shocked.
Following this, Lin Jing took out the Pill Master Token of Yuebaolou and handed it over to Steward Jiang.
Steward Jiang received it with his hand, looked at it for a long time, before finally returning the token to Lin Jing and remarked sincerely,
“I didn’t expect that Lin Daoyou would become a Second-Grade Alchemist so quickly.”
Lin Jing merely smiled and did not elaborate further.
“Congratulations to Lin Daoyou.”
When the Fang Market issued tasks previously, Steward Jiang clearly knew Lin Jing was only a First-Grade Alchemist. As the saying goes, “Thirty years river east, thirty years river west.”
But how much time had passed?
He had already become a Second-Grade Alchemist and even an Offering Priest of Yuebaolou.
Looking at Lin Jing, Steward Jiang couldn’t help but sigh again.
“Lin Daoyou, since you’ve already moved into the Inner Fang Market, naturally, we can help you cancel the lease for your residence in the Outer Fang Market.”
“Please wait a moment, I will handle it for you right away.”
After saying this, Steward Jiang greeted a young cultivator from the management office.
Then the two of them began to get busy.
Lin Jing couldn’t help but wonder,
“For the lease cancellation, isn’t it enough to just inform Steward Jiang?”
Although he was puzzled, Lin Jing did not show it on the surface but quietly waited.
In a short while, Steward Jiang completed the process and came over.
“Lin Daoyou, we’ve calculated it, and there is a surplus from the rent you previously paid. Now we will refund it to you together.”
As he spoke, he took out some Spirit Stones and handed them to Lin Jing.
“Steward Jiang, this…”
Lin Jing hesitated. He had only come to talk to Steward Jiang about the house, yet there were Spirit Stones being returned.
Previously, Ning Yue and Wei Zhengqing had only mentioned it to Steward Jiang, and that was enough. They didn’t get any refund of Spirit Stones.
“Lin Daoyou, this is the excess rent you had paid in advance. Now that you’ve moved to the Inner Fang Market and no longer dwell here, it is naturally superfluous.” “Take it.”
“Alright…”
After pondering for a moment, Lin Jing accepted the Spirit Stones.
Then, after a brief chat, Lin Jing bid his farewell and left.
As soon as Lin Jing had left, the young cultivator who was there earlier came over to Steward Jiang.
“Steward Jiang, who is he, and why did you go to such lengths to assist him, even returning those Spirit Stones to him…”
“Before, wasn’t it…”
The young cultivator wanted to continue speaking but stopped abruptly when he caught Steward Jiang’s meaningful glance and immediately held his tongue.
Steward Jiang, watching Lin Jing’s departing figure, said,
“Don’t underestimate him; he is now an Offering Priest of Yuebaolou.”
“Also, be more careful with your words in the future. If something shouldn’t be said, then don’t speak recklessly…”
The young cultivator quickly bowed his head and said, “Steward Jiang, I’ll remember that.”
Then, looking at the retreating figure of Lin Jing, his face showed envy.
“An Offering Priest of Yuebaolou. If only I could have made his acquaintance earlier.”
After leaving the management office of the Outer Fang Market, Lin Jing returned to the Inner Fang Market.
He first took a tour inside the market, purchasing some food ingredients, and then made a trip to Yuebaolou to find Elder Yu.
Elder Yu informed him that he would come over after he was done in the evening.
Returning from Yuebaolou, Lin Jing went straight back to his courtyard.
As there was still plenty of time and no rush to prepare for the banquet, Lin Jing took out the Flawless Sword from his Storage Bag and continued to refine it..
