Chapter 52 - Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Li Tangyu [New] (2/2)

He was also familiar with the Alchemy Technique, and the ability to increase the success rate of alchemy indeed seemed exaggerated.

However, unlike Lin Jing’s reaction, his heart grew increasingly fervent.

“If that’s the case, then the Pure Body Restoration Pill he needs would have a place to go.”

Thinking of this, the man in black grew excited.

Next, Li Tangyu continued to speak:

“If I’m not mistaken, fellow Daoist must be an inheritor of the Ancient Alchemy

Path, ”

“Before this, I wasn’t sure whether the Ancient Alchemy Path had been lost, but after meeting you, I’m certain that you’re definitely an inheritor.”

“Because only the Alchemy Techniques from the Ancient Era could increase the success rate of Pure Elixir Medicine.’

Hearing this, Lin Jing finally let out a sigh of relief. “So he thinks I’m an inheritor of the Ancient Alchemy Path. ”

Lin Jing didn’t affirm or deny it, but was instead thinking.

Was it possible to use the identity of an inheritor of the Ancient Alchemy Path to create Pure Elixir Medicine so that in the future, no one would suspect him when he produced more of it?

But then, this meant that his own identity would require even more secrecy. If he carelessly exposed his true identity, it would put him in great danger.

Seeing that Lin Jing did not retort, the man in black bowed to him and said:

“Please assist me in crafting a Pure Body Restoration Pill. On the day of its completion, I will surely give you a heavy reward.”

Nonetheless, Lin Jing still did not respond, and the two remained motionless, waiting for Lin Jing’s answer.

After a while, Lin Jing spoke:

“I’m not very confident about one month.”

The man in black immediately became overjoyed and hastily said, “Thank you, fellow Daoist. ‘

“Don’t worry about it. If it’s really not successful, it can only be said that it is fate, and I won’t blame anyone.”

“Rest assured, if you can craft the Pure Body Restoration Pill, I will gift you 10,000 Spirit Stones. If you fail, I will also give you 2,000 Spirit Stones as compensation.”

Li Tangyu also spoke up at this time:

“How about including me as well?”

“I’d like to wager with you, fellow Daoist. I will also begin crafting Elixir

Medicine when I return, also aiming to produce the Rejuvenation Elixir.”

“Likewise, within one month, I’d like to see how the inheritance Alchemy

Techniques of the Li Family compare to the Ancient Alchemy Path”

“Fellow Daoist, what do you think?”

Li Tangyu’s eyes were earnest as he looked at Lin Jing, and by his demeanor, he did not appear to be joking.

Lin Jing frowned, he was not very keen on competing in alchemy techniques.

“Fellow Daoist Li, let’s not gamble on the Elixir Medicine.”

Lin Jing said.

Li Tangyu was initially taken aback, then pondered for a moment:

“I presume that, as an inheritor of the Ancient Alchemy Path, you’ve come to this black market to avoid exposing your identity.”

“Rest assured, fellow Daoist, this matter will only be known to the three of us, and it will not be divulged to outsiders. Additionally, you can rest assured about your identity; the black market is very safe and will not reveal it carelessly. ”

“I, too, couldn’t help but want to witness an Ancient Alchemy practitioner’s skills, so I hope fellow Daoist can indulge me.”

Seeing Li Tangyu’s sincere gaze and knowing his obsession with the Alchemy Dao, Lin Jing believed he could be trusted, so he agreed.

“Alright then.”

Li Tangyu’s eyes clearly lit up with excitement.

“Thank you for obliging, fellow Daoist.’

“Since it is a wager, I shall add a bonus to it.”

As he spoke, Li Tangyu took out a wooden box from his Storage Bag and immediately opened it.

Lin Jing looked inside and saw a pit that resembled a peach kernel.

This was the core of a Stay-Young Fruit, which, given the right conditions, could grow into a Stay-Young Fruit tree. However, the tree required harsh conditions to grow and was almost impossible to cultivate successfully.

Even so, the value of this Stay-Young Fruit core was not low, and it could fetch around 20,000 to 30,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

“Fellow Daoist, if you win, this Stay-Young Fruit core is yours.”

“If it happens that I win by a small margin, fellow Daoist need not contribute anything, and I will give you 1,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones as gratitude.”

An offer like this, where he wouldn’t lose out regardless of the outcome, was too good to pass up.

Lin Jing didn’t quite know what to say at the moment..
