Chapter 265: Chapter 248 Delivering the Pill_2
Having finished speaking,
Senior Han directly channeled his spiritual power, revealing his cultivation realm to Lin Jing.
The aura of cultivation exuded by Senior Han was carefully felt by Lin Jing, who found it to be considerably stronger than his own.
Lin Jing estimated that it was probably around the eighth or ninth level of Foundation Establishment.
Thereafter, Senior Han continued,
“Given my current situation, wishing to break through again in a short period of time, no elixir medicine would work, unless it is the Flawless Gathering Yuan Pill.”
“I’ve also heard that there is an Elixir Valley Heir in the black market down the mountain, who often sells various flawless elixir medicines.”
“However, this person appears and disappears unpredictably, and the times of appearance are not fixed, while I need to focus on my cultivation and can’t spare the time.”
“So, I was hoping you could keep an eye out for me.”
“If you encounter that Elixir Valley Heir, help me buy two Flawless Gathering Yuan Pills.”
“Of course, you don’t need to spend your own Spirit Stones, I can give you the Spirit Stones in advance.”
As he spoke,
Senior Han immediately took out a small trading Storage Bag, placed it on the table, and then pushed it in front of Lin Jing.
After Senior Han had finished speaking, Lin Jing immediately understood.
“So that’s what it is, Senior Han, you really didn’t need to go to such lengths…”
Lin Jing, having said this, immediately pushed the Storage Bag back in front of Senior Han.
The action of Lin Jing left Senior Han and Chen Xing quite puzzled; both lifted their heads and involuntarily looked at him.
Lin Jing then spoke up,
“Since Senior Han needs Flawless Gathering Yuan Pills, just saying so would suffice, I happen to have them on me…”
“You have them on you?”
Senior Han looked at Lin Jing with a face full of confusion.
Chen Xing, standing beside them, felt the same and was very skeptical of Lin Jing’s words.
Being close friends with Senior Han, he naturally had also heard some things about Lin Jing.
The rarity of the Flawless Gathering Yuan Pills goes without saying.
How could Lin Jing possibly have them?
He had left the sect not long ago. Where would he get so many Spirit Stones to buy Flawless Gathering Yuan Pills?
Even the Spirit Stones of Senior Han had been saved over a long period, just enough to afford two Flawless Gathering Yuan Pills, and likely nothing would remain after that.
At this moment,
he suddenly remembered Lin Jing’s identity as a Pill Master…
“Could it be that he himself refined them?”
This thought had just emerged when it was immediately dismissed.
“That seems even more unlikely?”
The difficulty of refining flawless elixir medicines are well known, even to someone like him who knew nothing about alchemy.
To suggest that Lin Jing could manufacture flawless elixir medicines, Chen Xing would rather believe that Lin Jing made a fortune and bought the elixir medicines himself.
Seeing that the two were somewhat incredulous, Lin Jing, feeling helpless, then took out a Pure Jade Box from the Storage Bag and placed it on the table.
Upon seeing the Pure Jade Box, Senior Han and Chen Xing were instantly dumbstruck on the spot.
Especially Chen Xing, who almost popped his eyes out.
However, that wasn’t the end of it.
After taking out one box, Lin Jing continued, reaching into the Storage Bag again, and then took out a second Pure Jade Box.
Two Pure Jade Boxes were laid out on the table.
And inside each box was a Flawless Gathering Yuan Pill.
A total of two.
“I just happen to have two Flawless Gathering Yuan Pills. If Senior Han had asked for one more, I really wouldn’t have been able to provide it,” Lin Jing said to Senior Han with a smile.
In fact, Lin Jing certainly had more than these on him, but under the current circumstances, taking out two seemed more reasonable.
If he had taken out more, it would have been hard to explain.
As Senior Han beheld the two Pure Jade Boxes on the table, his heart was profoundly shocked and couldn’t help exclaiming:
“These… where did you get these from?”
After speaking, Senior Han picked up one of the Pure Jade Boxes and began to examine it closely:
“Furthermore…”
“This box is even inscribed with the characters ‘Elixir Valley,’ these are actually Elixir Valley’s elixir medicines.”
“How do you have Elixir Valley’s elixir medicines?”
Seeing both were staring at him, eager for an answer, Lin Jing then began to explain:
“Senior Han, you might not be aware since you haven’t left the mountain for a long while.”
“Now, many people buy up these flawless elixir medicines from Elixir Valley to keep, ready to use them when the moment is critical.”
“Even if they don’t need them, many would still buy some and wait until the price of the Elixir Medicine increases, then sell them.”
“I bought these Elixir Medicines for the same reason.”
Upon hearing this, Senior Han suddenly had an epiphany:
“So that’s how it is; it has indeed been a long time since I last descended the mountain.”
After speaking, Senior Han looked at the two Pure Jade Boxes on the table and then, raising his head, asked Lin Jing:
“How about selling these two Elixir Medicines to me?”
Lin Jing shook his head.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xing frowned and was about to say something when Lin Jing spoke first.
“Senior Han, I’ll give these two Elixir Medicines to you!”
For Lin Jing, two Pure Gathering Yuan Pills were of little significance; his Elixir Medicine production had a high chance of being flawless.
In just a few days, he could refine another two.
However, these Elixir Medicines meant something different for Senior Han.
With these Elixir Medicines, Senior Han could achieve a breakthrough before the Disciple Martial Arts Tournament started, securing a spot among the top three in the event.
The difference between being a Core Disciple and an Inner Sect Disciple was as vast as the sky from the earth, a matter that could benefit him for a lifetime.
As soon as Lin Jing spoke, Chen Xing immediately fell silent. Even Senior Han, after pondering for a moment, shook his head.
Following that, he pushed the Storage Bag towards Lin Jing and said:
“These Pure Elixir Medicines are too valuable, I can’t simply take them from you. Keep these Spirit Stones as if I was buying them from you.”
“Senior Han…”
Lin Jing shook his head, then told Han Jing:
“You know I’m now an Offering Priest Pill Master at Yuebaolou, their treatment is very good, and I truly don’t lack Spirit Stones…”
“As for you, you still need to prepare for the Disciple Tournament, and there are many uses for Spirit Stones. Don’t refuse, Senior Han.”
“Let’s talk about everything after you advance to Core Disciple.”
As Lin Jing finished speaking, Chen Xing also became anxious and chimed in:
“Yes, Senior Han…”
“Junior Brother Lin is right. To secure a top-three position in the Disciple Martial Arts Tournament, you’ll need to boost your Cultivation and make other preparations.”
After speaking, Chen Xing glanced secretly at Lin Jing, then told Han Jing:
“Senior Han, don’t forget, we still have one thing left undone…”
Hearing this, Han Jing thought for a moment and then agreed to accept the Elixir Medicine and the Spirit Stones, then said to Lin Jing:
“Since that is the case, I will accept them with gratitude.”
“Consider these two Elixir Medicines a debt I owe you.”
“Rest assured…”
“After some time, I will definitely give you a surprise.”
“Alright…” Lin Jing responded.
Lin Jing didn’t really consider the surprise that Senior Han mentioned; at this point, his own goal was already achieved, and whatever Senior Han said would be just fine…
Afterward.
The three of them chatted for a while longer.
Senior Han also inquired about Lin Jing’s address in Immortal City, saying it would be convenient to visit him after descending the mountain.
Naturally, Lin Jing warmly welcomed the prospect of Senior Han visiting, so he gave his address to Senior Han.
…
Early the next morning.
Elder Master Li informed everyone that it was time to leave the Secret Realm.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing went to say goodbye to Senior Han right away.
After that, he returned, and it was almost time to depart.
This exploration of the Secret Realm had been quite fruitful for Lin Jing.
Not only had he built a Cleansing Spirit Pool in his own space, he no longer had to worry about sourcing Cleansing Spirit Liquid.
He had also accidentally eliminated Liu Yiyuan, a constant, looming threat.
This relieved much of Lin Jing’s worry.
Otherwise, given Liu Yiyuan’s nature,
if he had not died, he might have continued plotting against Lin Jing.
There was also that gourd, whose purpose was unknown; Lin Jing had kept it in the Alchemy Room in his System Space.
By noon, under Elder Master Li’s lead, they departed.
They had arrived with six people, and were leaving with only five…
Zhang Yuan stayed behind with the Zhang Family Patriarch.
Everyone understood and, after arranging a meet-up for later, they said their farewells and Lin Jing and his companions departed.
