Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: The Fox Borrows the Tigers Fierceness (2/2)

“Thank you, Steward Li. I will forever remember the kindness of Steward Li, never to forget it for as long as I live.”

Lin Jing didn’t feel embarrassed at all and directly pocketed the Spirit Stones,

Steward Li watched with a pang of distress, as it had taken him quite some time to accumulate these Spirit Stones, and now he had given them all away.

Yet, even so, he still pretended to be carefree and nonchalant.

“Hmm, after you go down the mountain, you must live well, and it would be best if you learn a skill, so as not to disappoint the expectations I have for you.”

“Steward Li, rest assured, I will definitely live well and certainly not let down your expectations.”

It was a joke, how could he possibly not live well with the system by his side?

Having said that, Lin Jing looked toward Yuan Bo, who had been hiding behind Steward Li.

“Brother Yuan, I didn’t expect even you to come to see me off; I am truly overwhelmed by your gesture.”

“I never thought Brother Yuan would be so sentimental and righteous. I really didn’t know any better before and opposed you in every way. Now that I think about it, I am deeply ashamed.”

Yuan Bo glanced at Senior Han, who was looking their way, and hastily spoke:

“Yes… yes…”

“I’m also here to see you off. What happened in the past doesn’t matter; it’s all behind us now.”

With that, he took out five Spirit Stones from his person and handed them to Lin Jing.

“This is all my savings. Now I’m giving them to Brother Lin as travel expenses, and I hope you don’t find them too little.”

After finishing his words, he glanced at Senior Han to see if there was any reaction, and only then did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

“If I were to refuse Brother Yuan’s kindness, I might hurt your feelings. Since that’s the case, I must graciously accept.”

With those words, he also pocketed the five Spirit Stones.

And Yuan Bo could only look on eagerly, though feeling reluctant, he dared not make any move.

“Lin Jing, you’ve broken through to the second level of Qi Refinement; it seems you’ve been working hard regularly. Once you’re down the mountain, you must not slack off, understand?”

“Steward Li, don’t worry, I will definitely practice diligently after I go down the mountain.”

“Good, that’s good.”

“I have something else to do tomorrow, so I won’t be able to see you off. Remember not to cause any trouble for Senior Han on the way.”

“Yuan Bo, let’s go.”

After saying that, he was ready to take Yuan Bo and leave this place, a place he didn’t want to stay a moment longer.

“Steward Li, please wait a moment.”

Just as the two men were about to walk out the door, Senior Han suddenly spoke up, stopping them from leaving.

“What now?”

At this point, Steward Li couldn’t hold back his frustration anymore. He had already bled enough today; did Senior Han still not intend to let him off?

“Don’t be hasty, Steward Li. It’s like this, I’ve heard that you, Steward Li, had previously copied and sold many copies of your family’s Alchemy.”

“Now that Lin Jing is going down the mountain, he needs a skill. Why not give him a copy? That way, when he’s at the base of the mountain, he’ll have something to rely on, right?”

After hearing Senior Han’s words, Steward Li calmed down a bit. Although this matter was not a big deal for him, he still felt extremely annoyed.

Steward Li furrowed his brows, pondering for a moment.

“It’s extremely difficult to master Alchemy, and the expenditures for a beginner are substantial; often, they spend more than they earn. I’m afraid it may not be suitable for him.”

“Whether he can learn it or not depends on his own ability; we needn’t worry about that.”

“Don’t you agree, Steward Li?”

Seeing that Senior Han was determined, Steward Li didn’t dawdle and directly handed the basic copied manuals to Lin Jing.

“This is the ‘Outline of Alchemy,’ this is ‘Spiritual Herb Identification,’ and this book, it introduces various Elixir Medicines.”

“The most important is this book.” Steward Li said, picking up a book with a deep red cover.

Lin Jing looked up and saw the three big black characters ‘Controlling Fire Technique’ starkly before his eyes.

“The first step in Alchemy is being able to control fire, so the Controlling Fire Technique is very important. Do you understand?”

“Mm-hmm.” Lin Jing nodded vigorously.

Steward Li then continued, “Of course, there are no elixir formulas inside. If you want formulas, you can only find them yourself.”

“I sell this set for a hundred Spirit Stones normally; you’re getting quite the bargain today.”

“Lin Jing, aren’t you going to thank Steward Li?”

“Thank you, Steward Li.”
