Chapter 20 - Chapter 20 Repair of the Alchemy Book Completed (2/2)

The System Space was different from the outside world; the Spirit Rice and Seven-Star Grass inside didn’t require any care from him.

And now, Ning Yue was helping repair the pill book for Lin Jing, so alchemy could wait until the book was fully restored.

Therefore, there was no need to waste entry time into the System Space; it was entirely possible to accumulate the time instead.

……

The following days continued in this fashion.

In the mornings, Ning Yue would bring Luo Luo over and then go practice alchemy.

In the evenings, she would return to explain alchemy knowledge to Lin Jing, each time staying until late at night before leaving.

And the restoration of the pill book was nearing completion.

Lin Jing and Luo Luo spent most of their time at home, though of course, they occasionally went out for a stroll.

During this time, they only saw Wei Zhengqing twice; he seemed to be quite busy as well and often went out.

As for the Zhang siblings, who knew what they were up to during this period—they were frequently seen heading out.

Though they occasionally crossed paths and exchanged greetings, the twins always excused themselves, claiming to be busy and never brought up the matter of returning the Spirit Stones.

However, it was only five Spirit Stones; Lin Jing didn’t really care about it.

If this had been a few months earlier, tsk tsk…

Five Spirit Stones would have been unimaginable.

People really do change…

Apart from them, Ning Yue had been eating at Lin Jing’s place every day during this period and had visibly filled out a bit, giving her a more charming appearance.

Nevertheless, Ning Yue mentioned that she should be able to finish repairing the pill book by tomorrow, and by then, 70 hours had already accumulated in the System Space.

Next, they just had to wait for the restoration of the pill book…

That day, Ning Yue came back with good news: the pill book was finally repaired.

At the dinner table, Ning Yue handed the repaired pill book to Lin Jing.

“I’ve made some revisions to the contents and supplemented some of the missing parts; it should be fine now,” she said.

“If you encounter any problems while practicing alchemy, tell me in time, and I will offer you solutions,” she added.

“Sure,” Lin Jing answered.

Today, they wrapped up quite early. After more than half a month of instruction, most of what needed to be conveyed had been covered.

The most critical element of alchemy was still experimentation; only through continuous experimentation could one gradually correct mistakes.

In the evening, Lin Jing, alone, perused the newly repaired pill book. Areas that were previously obscure were now clear to him.

Even some of his previous thoughts were mentioned in the book.

That night, he still didn’t practice alchemy but went to bed early instead.

He needed to reread the pill book and understand its contents.

Perhaps because of the time spent listening to Ning Yue’s explanations, it only took three days for Lin Jing to memorize the content of the pill book and reach a level of thorough understanding.

Only on this evening did Lin Jing enter the System Space again.

Arriving at the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing prepared the materials and began his first attempt at refinement.

Lighting the fire, he added the Spirit Grass in batches and covered the Pill Furnace.

Lin Jing’s movements were fluid and executed in one smooth motion.

He then carefully controlled the flame…

After half an hour, the fragrance wafted through the air, and Lin Jing was certain the pill would be a success.

Indeed

Before long, a system prompt appeared.

“Elixir Medicine refinement successful, Alchemy proficiency +6”

He lifted the lid of the furnace and took out the Elixir, inspecting it in his hand.

The Medium Grade Fasting Pill looked smoother than the previous ones.

Indeed

The problems with the previous pill book had indeed been significant. Now, after the pill book had been repaired, the first refinement yielded a Medium Grade Elixir, and there were three of them.

Then, the Pure Elixir would certainly be within reach soon.
