Looking at the two, Lin Jing couldn’t help chuckling and crying at the same time.
“Alright, alright…”
Lin Jing quickly intervened, worried that Luo Luo’s bottom might soon get smacked if this continued.
“Yesterday, I sold some elixir medicine and bought some Superior Spirit Rice, so today we can try it together.”
“Yay!”
“Thank you, Uncle Lin.”
After speaking, Luo Luo immediately ran into the courtyard.
“Lin Daoyou, the price of Superior Spirit Rice is so high nowadays, isn’t that a bit wasteful?”
Ning Yue was somewhat worried, fearing that Lin Jing was being extravagant, especially since alchemists tend to spend a lot of Spirit Stones in the early days.
Lin Jing was well-prepared for such concerns.
“Ning Daoyou, take a look inside.”
With that, Lin Jing took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over.
Ning Yue took the bottle, and as soon as she opened the stopper, a distinct fragrance unique to elixir medicines assaulted her senses, a scent she was very familiar with.
“Supreme Elixir Medicine!! ! ”
Ning Yue’s pupils dilated as she cried out in surprise.
She hadn’t expected that Lin Jing would be able to produce Supreme Elixir Medicine so quickly.
Afterward, Ning Yue poured the elixirs into her hand and started to examine them closely.
The elixir medicine was smooth and free of any impurities, all the while emitting bursts of fragrance.
It was undoubtedly a Supreme Elixir.
Lin Jing scratched his head:
“Yesterday, I had the good fortune to concoct a Supreme Elixir, and I thought I’d reward myself, so I bought this Superior Spirit Rice.”
“I also have to thank Ning Daoyou. If it weren’t for your help, I would have probably given up on alchemy a long time ago.”
“You’re too modest, my friend.”
Ning Yue put the elixirs back in the bottle and handed it to Lin Jing.
Thinking about how she had spent several years in alchemy yet hadn’t achieved the results that Lin Jing had in just a few months, Ning Yue couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“Your talent in alchemy is truly remarkable. I didn’t really help you much; it’s all down to your own efforts.”
“Besides, you’ve been taking care of Luo Luo for so long. It’s only right that I do these little things.”
Lin Jing shook his head and said, “You’re being too humble.”
“Without the help of Ning Daoyou, I would probably still be failing every day and have run out of Spirit Stones by now, let alone treat myself.”
“All of this is thanks to your contributions.”
“Mommy, Uncle Lin…”
Ning Yue was about to say more when a sudden shout interrupted her.
Seeing the two just standing at the doorway and not entering, Luo Luo quickly asked:
“What are you two doing? I’m getting hungry.”
“Mommy, didn’t you say you wanted to learn cooking from Uncle Lin?”
Luo Luo’s words made Ning Yue’s face turn slightly red, causing her to give Luo Luo a glare.
This little girl was becoming more and more cheeky.
“Lin Daoyou, look…”
“It’s no big deal, sure.”
Lin Jing agreed before Ning Yue could finish her sentence. “It’s just about lunchtime now. Ning Daoyou, let’s go together.” Saying this, Lin Jing led Ning Yue towards the kitchen.
When it comes to cooking versus alchemy,
Lin Jing felt that the difference wasn’t significant; both required control over the heat and mastery of ingredient proportions.
Compared to alchemy, in fact, cooking seemed somewhat simpler.
The reason Ning Yue couldn’t cook was because she had never focused on cooking.
Lin Jing had some understanding of Ning Yue’s background.
Ning Yue herself was the treasured pearl of an Alchemy Dao family, where she never had to worry about her basic needs.
That is until she met Luo Luo’s father and they fell in love at first sight. However, her family did not approve of their relationship.
But by that time, Ning Yue was already pregnant, so the two of them eloped to Nanshan Market together.
Things were alright before, with Luo Luo’s father around to take care of most matters, and naturally, the cooking fell on his shoulders as well.
