Chapter 14 - Chapter 14 Revisiting Yuebaolou (2/2)

“If it hadn’t been for that Alchemist’s urgent need for Spirit Stones, it wouldn’t have sold so cheap. It should have cost at least twenty to thirty percent more.”

“The person certainly got a great deal.”

Elder Yu was filled with emotion, thinking that if he had not been short of Spirit Stones at the time, he would have wanted to acquire it himself.

Especially the Alchemy experience of a third-grade Alchemist, the temptation for an Alchemist is not small.

“If a fellow Daoist wants to buy an Alchemy book, you’d need to prepare tens of thousands of Spirit Stones at least.”

“Tens of thousands…”

Upon hearing this number, Lin Jing’s eyes widened in shock, and his eyelid twitched uncontrollably.

It took a while for Lin Jing to regain his composure.

“Hehe…”

Lin Jing felt somewhat embarrassed.

“I still think my Alchemy book is quite adequate, I won’t change it for now.”

Seeing Lin Jing’s reaction, Elder Yu knew he didn’t have that much money.

He quickly started to give guidance: “In Alchemy, the most important thing is the mindset. As long as one’s mindset is stable, the success rate will naturally be high.”

“Of course, besides mindset, other factors are also crucial, not just the Alchemy book.”

“For instance, the cultivator’s own cultivation level, strength of Divine Sense, Alchemy experience, and control of flames are all extremely important.”

“Besides these, there are also some external factors, like the Pill Furnace, environment, and Spiritual Energy, which are all essential.”

“So, an Alchemist must first control their own mindset, then improve their own abilities and experience, and finally address the external environmental factors.”

“Once you have achieved these, your Alchemy success rate will definitely increase substantially.”

“Lastly, one more thing, if possible, try to find a prestigious teacher to instruct you.”

“It is said that listening to a wise person’s words is better than reading books for ten years. Sometimes, a single sentence from a teacher is worth years of your own research.”

“Elder Yu, I have learned much.”

Lin Jing clasped his hands together and gave Elder Yu a salute.

Elder Yu’s words were like enlightening Lin Jing.

“Right, he is just a Qi Refinement Level Two minor cultivator, having just studied for a little while and he thinks he knows it all?”

“Though the Alchemy book from Manager Li has some flaws, the overall direction is correct. I can start practicing with that, then summarizing my experience and filling in the mistakes.”

“In any case, I have the System Space, and I won’t lack money. I don’t need to run around tirelessly like other cultivators.”

“So, I should first improve myself. As for changing the Alchemy book, that can wait until later.”

Elder Yu hurriedly helped Lin Jing up: “Fellow Daoist, there’s no need for such formalities. I’m merely offering some advice as a senior.”

“My name is Lin Jing. Elder Yu can call me by my name. ‘To the capable goes the teaching.’ You are a senior, I dare not presume to be called a fellow Daoist,” Lin Jing said humbly.

The term ‘senior’ deeply touched Elder Yu’s heart, and he no longer insisted on formality: “Then, as you wish, I will call you Lin Xiaozi (young Lin).”

“Lin Xiaozi, how many times did you fail at Alchemy yesterday?” Elder Yu was intent on giving guidance, hence the question.

“Elder Yu, after I returned yesterday, out of thirteen attempts at Alchemy, I succeeded in making Elixir Medicine in one batch.”

While speaking, Lin Jing took out a small porcelain bottle from his person and handed it over.

“However, it’s just Low Grade Fasting Pills, a total of three. I consumed one, and the remaining two are all here.”

“I didn’t expect you would actually succeed,” Elder Yu said in surprise.

“It’s rare for someone to succeed on their first attempt at Alchemy. When you came to ask about the Alchemy Technique before, I thought all of your attempts had failed.”

“It was purely luck,” Lin Jing spoke.

He knew that if it were not for the existence of the System Space, he would not have had any chance of success.

Elder Yu looked at Lin Jing as if seeing him for the first time, examining him carefully.

“There is no such thing as luck in Alchemy.”

“Lin Xiaozi, your talent in Alchemy is perhaps not low,” he said.
