Chapter 23 - 23 Selling the Elixir

Lin Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously.

“Yes, I understand.”

Afterwards, Ning Yue handed the elixir medicine to Lin Jing and then left with Luo Luo.

Lin Jing was left alone, standing there in a daze.

“Ning Yue values it so highly, could it be that I’ve revealed too much?”

Lin Jing carefully thought back, how long had it been since Ning Yue started to repair the pill book for him?

And right off the bat, I brought out a superior elixir; did I really scare her?

On further thought, it seemed likely; Ning Yue, who had been teaching me all along, knew exactly what level I was at.

Lin Jing vaguely remembered it had only been a little over half a month since Ning Yue completed the repairs on the pill book and handed it over to him.

And in just over half a month, I had managed to produce a superior elixir.

“Sigh!”

“I’ve been muddled with alchemy; I should have known not to bring out that superior Energy Gathering Pill.”

But, at least she’s a good person.

Evening

As usual, he came to the Alchemy Room to begin alchemy.

He planned to refine all the materials he had on hand. After that, Lin Jing was not going to buy Fasting Pill materials to practice with anymore.

Instead, he would directly purchase Energy Gathering Pill materials. He needed to improve his cultivation, and also, he should buy a few more Pure Jade Boxes. Who knows, he might be able to refine Pure Elixir Medicine.

Another night of alchemy passed without the creation of Pure Elixir Medicine, but he did produce one Supreme Elixir.

Time flew by in this way for several days.

Lin Jing had refined all the materials he had into elixir medicine.

In these few days, he produced two Pure Elixir Medicines, one of which was an Energy Gathering Pill, and he had already swallowed it.

The other one was an Energy Restoration Elixir, used for rapid recovery of spiritual power during combat, which he did not need right now.

Having created two Pure Elixir Medicines, I had gained another 10 Harvest Points, and my cultivation had increased by another 20%.

I have to say, the system really is stingy. Only when you create Pure Elixir Medicine does it add 5 Harvest Points.

Creating any other elixir medicine doesn’t earn a single point, even if it’s a Supreme Elixir.

Lin Jing decided to sell them for some Spirit Stones.

All this time, aside from the Spirit Rice he sold, he had been spending money.

Now, he did not have many Spirit Stones left.

The next day

After Ning Yue left, Lin Jing took Luo Luo to Yuebaolou.

“Elder Yu.”

“Grandpa Yu, hello.”

Luo Luo also greeted him; she had been to Yuebaolou once before with Lin Jing.

As a result, Luo Luo knew Elder Yu.

When Elder Yu saw Luo Luo, he was very fond of her and smilingly said:

“Ah…”

“It’s Luo Luo, eh? Why aren’t you staying at home today? Did you think of visiting Grandpa Yu?”

“I came with Uncle Lin today to sell elixir medicine.”

Luo Luo was very honest.

After hearing this, Elder Yu turned his head to look at Lin Jing.

“Lin lad, your progress isn’t bad, to have refined them so quickly.”

“Come.”

“Let me see the elixir medicine you’ve refined.”

Lin Jing took out several small porcelain bottles from his chest, handed them to Elder Yu, and spoke:

“Elder Yu, I’m just starting out, so my success rate is quite low. Please don’t laugh at me.”

“Inside there are 50 Low Grade Fasting Pills and 8 Medium Grade.”

“Energy Gathering Pills, Energy Restoration Pills, and Blood Coagulation Pills together total 13 pills, and fortunately, there’s one Medium Grade Energy Gathering Pill.”

“They’re all here.”

Elder Yu nodded.

“It’s indeed like this when you start out with alchemy; the success rate is low, and that’s normal. The fact that you were able to produce a few Medium Grade pills is already quite good.”

Elder Yu opened the porcelain bottle and poured out the elixir medicines to inspect them.

He quickly finished the inspection.

Elder Yu raised his head and said to Lin Jing,

“All these together, I’ll give you 10 Spirit Stones, don’t think it’s too little.”

Lin Jing knew that the elixirs he handed over were definitely not worth 10 Spirit Stones.

Obviously, Elder Yu had overestimated their value for him.

However, compared to the Spirit Stones he had spent on buying materials, it was a huge loss.

Elder Yu continued,

“It’s always like this for an alchemist at the beginning, often spending more than one earns, but you’re already doing not too bad.”

“It will get better with more practice.”

“Thank you, Elder Yu, for the 10 Spirit Stones, I am already content,” replied Lin Jing.

After that, he chatted with Elder Yu for a while longer.

Before leaving, Lin Jing bought materials for fifty batches of Energy Gathering Pills.

This trip, he did not make a single Spirit Stone.

However, just before leaving, Elder Yu specifically reminded Lin Jing.

Due to the recent rampage of Demonic Beasts, the price of Blood Coagulation Pills had risen, and Lin Jing could try making them.

Nevertheless, Lin Jing found an excuse to decline.

After all, it was more important for him to increase his strength now.

In the evening, after dinner.

Ning Yue left with Luo Luo.

Not long after their departure, Lin Jing went out.

He seldom went out at night, although there was no curfew in the Fang Market at night.

But as the saying goes, “A dark and windy night is the time for murder.”

In the cover of darkness, it is the perfect time to do those things that cannot bear the light.

However, he must go out this time.

Because he still had a large quantity of Medium Grade and above elixirs that he hadn’t sold.

Since he had known Elder Yu for some time, it wasn’t suitable to sell them at his place.

And with Luo Luo in tow, it was also not very convenient.

Could there be shops in the Fang Market that operated at night?

Yes…

Of course, there were…

And not just a few, but most closed around Zi Time. Of course, there were a very few that operated all night.

After all, this is the Fang Market, and most of the people here are cultivators.

Lin Jing dressed up carefully, making himself look much older. Although not as effective as a disguise technique, it was almost as good.

Besides, cultivators all have Divine Sense, and disguise techniques might not necessarily work. Sometimes the truth mixed with falsehoods could deceive others more easily than pure deceit.

To thoroughly deceive others, one would need a magic artifact that could avoid detection by Divine Sense, or some cultivation techniques that, once practiced, could also elude Divine Sense.

This was also why Lin Jing was eager to find an artifact that could conceal Divine Sense.

It was already dark, and the streets were not crowded.

Especially for someone at the early stages of Qi Refinement like Lin Jing, they were even less common.

It was now November, and the night had grown very cold. Lin Jing, draped in a large cloak, tucked his hands inside to shield them from the cold.

However, in his hand, he was constantly gripping a Five Thunder Talisman.

Although the Fang Market seemed safe, he couldn’t afford to be unprepared.

“Shopkeeper.”

Lin Jing entered a trading establishment, one he had noticed before while walking around with Luo Luo.

The shopkeeper’s cultivation was not high, like him, at the second layer of Qi Refinement, specializing in buying and selling various elixir medicines and spiritual materials.

“Ah… honored guest, out so late, are you planning to buy some elixir medicines?” the shopkeeper said with a smile, perhaps because of the cold weather, he immediately rubbed his hands together.

I’d like to sell some elixir medicines, do you accept them here?

“Of course, we do,” he replied.

“May I know how many elixir medicines the guest has to sell?”
