Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Fang Market Mission (2/2)
Manager Jiang nodded, “Good, then it’s settled.”
Having said that, Manager Jiang turned and spoke to one of the people behind him.
Then, someone stepped forward and took out a large bundle from a Storage Bag, which contained those 200 portions of alchemy ingredients.
Another person, holding a booklet, registered Lin Jing’s name in it, and with that, the matter was considered settled.
From now on, Lin Jing merely needed to submit 150 First Rank Elixir Medicines each month on time, without needing to fight the Demonic Beasts like the others.
Once everything was handled properly, Steward Jiang took his leave.
Before departing, Lin Jing gave several small gifts to Steward Jiang.
Apart from this matter, the words Steward Jiang said last time had saved Lin Jing a considerable amount of Spirit Stones. He felt he needed to show some appreciation.
Steward Jiang initially declined, but after persisting without success, he accepted the gifts and left with the two men.
After Steward Jiang left, Lin Jing returned to his room.
He took out the 200 sets of Alchemy Ingredients to organize them.
“Knock, knock, knock”
It wasn’t long before someone knocked on Lin Jing’s door.
Lin Jing placed the yet-to-be-organized medicinal herbs on the table and walked over to the door.
Upon opening the courtyard door, he saw Ning Yue standing at the entrance.
“It turns out to be Ning Daoyou, please come in.”
Ning Yue didn’t stand on ceremony and walked straight in.
Seeing Ning Yue enter without Luo Luo by her side, Lin Jing asked:
“Where’s Luo Luo? Why didn’t she come with you?”
Ning Yue replied, “Luo Luo is tired from playing; she’s asleep at home right now. ”
“Oh… I see,” Lin Jing nodded, then continued to ask, “May I inquire as to why
Ning Daoyou has come?”
Ning Yue turned her head, looked at Lin Jing, and asked,
“I heard from Steward Jiang that you were assigned Alchemy tasks?” “Yes,” Lin Jing nodded.
“I heard that in Fang Market, they are giving quite a lot of tasks to you First
Rank Alchemists, as many as 150 Medium Grade or higher Elixir Medicines.” “What do you think? Is this difficult for you?”
“If you find the task volume too large, I can help you refine some to lessen your burden.”
Lin Jing was taken aback, not expecting her to come for this reason. “Thank you for your concern, Ning Daoyou, but there’s no need,” he said.
“150 First Rank Elixir Medicines are not a problem for me.”
After saying this, Lin Jing looked at Ning Yue and asked,
“Ning Daoyou, may I ask what tasks are given to Second -Grade Alchemists like you?”
“We’re doing okay; we just need to provide 20 Medium Grade or higher Second Rank Elixir Medicines each month, and they’ve given us 50 sets of ingredients, which is quite sufficient.”
Because the main force resisting the beast tide consists of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and the Elixir Medicines they use are all Second Rank.
The refining of Second-Grade Elixir Medicines is mainly dependent on these Second-Grade Alchemists; the Fang Market naturally wouldn’t dare to press them too hard.
“That’s good to hear,” said Lin Jing.
Having said this, Lin Jing didn’t know what else to say.
Ning Yue felt the same, and for a moment, the two fell into silence…
“Ning Daoyou…”
“Lin Daoyou…”
Both spoke simultaneously, then abruptly stopped. “Ning Daoyou, you go first…”
A moment later, Lin Jing broke the silence..
