Chapter 198: Chapter 198 Another Alchemy Dao Genius

Afterward, Lin Jing retied the bundle of soil and put it away.

This soil wasn’t black, but rather a dark red color.

During this time, Lin Jing also grabbed a handful and sniffed it.

From the fragrance emitted by the soil, Lin Jing felt…

that this soil wasn’t much different from the yellow soil Huang Qingling had brought back last time.

He just didn’t know whether this dark red soil could be used.

Honestly, Lin Jing had no confidence in it.

He could only wait until he had some free time to try it out in the System Space.

After putting the package away, Lin Jing looked at Qing Ling and said,

“Qing Ling, what would you like to eat? I’ll cook it for you.”

As soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, Li Qingqing hurriedly said to Lin Jing,

“Maybe not today…”

“Qing Ling and I came over together to find you.”

Lin Jing looked at Li Qingqing in confusion and asked,

“To find me?”

“May I know what matter brings you here, Qing Qing?”

“Lin Jing, you’ve misunderstood…”

Li Qingqing shook her head and then continued,

“It’s my grandfather…”

“One of my grandfather’s friends has come to visit him at our house…”

“And this friend brought along a junior from his family.”

“My grandfather asked us to take that friend’s family junior around Nanshan Immortal City.”

“My brother said that today at noon he’s hosting a table at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.”

“And he wanted me to invite you and Qing Ling to come along.”

“So we can all get to know each other…”

“So…”

“If you were planning to cook, Lin Jing, let’s leave it for another day.”

After listening, Lin Jing furrowed his brow slightly, hesitating,

“If I go…”

“Wouldn’t it be somewhat inappropriate?”

“After all, that is the junior of a good friend of your grandfather.”

Li Qingqing quickly said,

“How is it inappropriate?”

“It’s most suitable for you to go, my brother even specifically told me to invite you.”

“That person is a Pill Master too, and although younger than my brother, they are already a third-grade Pill Master. In terms of talent in the Alchemy Dao, they are not inferior to my brother.”

“You’re a Pill Master as well, so wouldn’t it be nice for the three of you to exchange ideas…”

“Also being a third-grade Pill Master…”

Lin Jing was somewhat surprised, then thought of the other person’s elder, who was a friend of the Li Family patriarch, and then he understood.

“If I’m not wrong, he must be from an Alchemy Dao family, right?”

Li Qingqing nodded repeatedly.

“Lin Jing, you’re really clever…”

“Yes, her family is also an Alchemy Dao family.”

Lin Jing nodded in agreement,

“No wonder she’s already a third-grade Pill Master at such a young age.”

Then, Lin Jing let out a wry smile and said,

“However…”

“Qing Qing, you think too highly of me. Your brother and the junior of your grandfather’s friend are both third-grade Pill Masters.”

“But I’m only a second-grade Pill Master; in their company, I wouldn’t be able to contribute much to the conversation, at most I’d just get lectured.”

After hearing this, Li Qingqing burst out laughing,

“Hahaha…”

“Lin Jing…”

“Being lectured is also good, right? At the very least, you could learn quite a lot of good things.”

“What’s the harm in being educated by them? After all, it’s not a loss.”

“Besides, she is an exceptional beauty. If she educates you, you should just count yourself lucky…”

Lin Jing was somewhat astonished and asked again for confirmation,

“A woman?”

Li Qingqing nodded and said,

“Yes…”

“Lin Jing, when you go, you must take a good look. She’s very beautiful and also has a very graceful demeanor.”

“Even I’m quite envious when I look at her.”

“What do you take me for…”

Lin Jing looked at Li Qingqing, utterly speechless.

Huang Qingling suddenly interjected at this moment:

“A third-rank pill master younger than your brother, and a woman at that…”

“Qing Qing, now that you mention it, I’m quite intrigued…”

“I’m curious to see what she actually looks like…”

“Qing Qing, when do we set off?”

Li Qingqing thought for a moment, then said:

“Let’s go now…”

“My brother and the rest are probably still taking her around, by the time we get there from here, it’ll be almost noon.”

“We can just head straight for the Drunken Immortal Pavilion…”

Huang Qingling nodded in response:

“Good, let’s set off right now.”

Following that…

Lin Jing closed the courtyard door and, along with Li Qingqing and Huang Qingling, headed towards the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

The Drunken Immortal Pavilion was still in the Inner Fang Market, which is the inner city of the new Nanshan Immortal City.

Although it was not close to the outer city, the cultivation of the few of them was not low either.

Even if Lin Jing rushed on his journey with the cultivation of Qi Refinement Level Eight, his speed was not slow.

That’s right, the current Lin Jing had once again raised the cultivation level he displayed to others by one level.

To others, he now appeared to be at Qi Refinement Level Eight.

But in reality, Lin Jing had already reached the cultivation of Foundation Establishment Level Three.

Moreover, it probably wouldn’t be long before he could advance to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Of course, all of this was thanks to the System Space.

With the System Space now at Level Four, the concentration of Spiritual Energy inside was so rich that even with Lin Jing’s Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root aptitude, his cultivation speed was extremely fast.

Add to that the fact that he now had eight hours a day to enter the System Space, which, when converted to the time flow rate within the System Space, was thirty-two hours each day.

In other words, his one day was equivalent to twice that of others.

With this, whether he was practicing Alchemy or cultivating,

he had plenty of time.

Moreover, occasionally, Lin Jing would also take the Unguiled Gathering Yuan Pill to improve his cultivation.

Hence, over the past half a year, Lin Jing’s cultivation speed had soared, and his cultivation was rising rapidly.

It was even faster than Huang Qingling’s, who had a Dual Attribute Spiritual Root.

Furthermore, this was after he had already consolidated his foundation, so he had no worries about his foundation being unstable due to the rapid advancement.

Just like that…

The three took just over half an hour to reach the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

As the precious gem of the Li Family, Li Qingqing was naturally recognized by the attendants of Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

As soon as the three arrived, a servant approached and said to Li Qingqing:

“Miss Qing Qing…”

“Master Li has ordered that as soon as you and your party arrive, I am to take you to the private room…”

“This way, please…”

After speaking, the servant gestured with a hand, guiding the three upstairs.

Under the servant’s guidance, Lin Jing and the others made their way upward.

Reaching the third floor, the three, led by the servant, passed through the hall to the private rooms.

Then, the servant stopped, pointed to the innermost private room, and said:

“Master Li’s private room is right there; I should not intrude. Please go ahead on your own.”

“Farewell…”

With that, he turned and left the place.

After the servant left, the three made their way to the private room he had pointed out.

They hadn’t yet reached the door.

Lin Jing heard voices talking inside the private room.

“Master Li, I know that your Li Family has considerable influence in Nanshan Immortal City.”

“I have a favor to ask of you, Master Li…”

The voice sounded pleasant, yet Lin Jing felt an eerily familiar sensation.

Hearing the voice, Li Qingqing and Huang Qingling, walking ahead of Lin Jing, noticeably slowed their pace.

Probably they wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two inside.

And Lin Jing, trailing behind them, also slowed down his steps along with them.

“Miss Ning, please speak. If you are in any trouble, I will do my best to help…”

Only to hear the person addressed as Miss Ning continue:

“I would like to ask Master Li to help me find someone.”

Li Tangyu spoke up again.

“May I ask whom Miss Ning is looking to find?”

As Li Tangyu’s voice fell.

The woman named Ning blurted out two words:

“Lin Jing…”
