Chapter 359: Chapter 60 Please Have Some Self-respect; I’m Not into Guys
Subsequently, Lin Jing took out a Pure Jade Box from his Storage Bag and placed it on the table in front of the group.
The three people who had been discussing which Fourth Grade Alchemist to choose were immediately drawn to Lin Jing’s action.
When they saw the Pure Jade Box that Lin Jing placed on the table, their gazes were instantly captivated and couldn’t be shifted away.
Lin Jing, on the other hand, wore a faint smile as he watched the three, who were engrossed by the Elixir Medicine within the Pure Jade Box.
Next.
Yan Wanfei, with his quick eyes and hands, snatched the Pure Jade Box and brought it in front of him.
“Third Rank Elixir Medicine, the Spirit-Enhancing Pill.”
“Moreover, this is a Pure Spirit-Enhancing Pill…”
Holding the Pure Jade Box, Yan Wanfei couldn’t peel his eyes away from the Spirit-Enhancing Pill inside.
At that moment, Lu Youjiu snatched the Pure Jade Box from Yan Wanfei’s hands and began to examine it closely.
Although Yan Wanfei was reluctant, he didn’t dare to show anger or speak out against Lu Youjiu, and could only lean in to observe as well.
……
Moments later, after the group finished their examination, they looked up incredulously at Lin Jing and asked,
“Did you refine this?”
Lin Jing nodded and said, “Yes…”
At this point, Yan Wanfei, looking at the Pure Elixir Medicine in Lu Youjiu’s hand, couldn’t help but exclaim,
“This is a Pure Spirit-Enhancing Pill…”
“I’ve only seen it once before in the Changyun Elixir Pavilion.”
At that time, Lu Youjiu turned to Lin Jing with great seriousness and asked,
“Can you really refine a Nirvana Elixir?”
Lin Jing then spoke, “Although I have never refined one before, I believe that if I were to do it, it should be no worse than those Fourth Grade Alchemists from Bihai City.”
“Holy moly…”
“Really? Brother Lin, is your Alchemy Technique that impressive?” Yan Wanfei immediately became interested and hastily inquired.
Lin Jing didn’t answer but instead looked towards Lu Youjiu.
Lu Youjiu was also looking at Lin Jing and, seeing the firmness in Lin Jing’s eyes, he didn’t seem to be lying.
Afterward, Lu Youjiu lowered his head, deep in thought…
Until a moment later, when Lu Youjiu raised his head again and said to Lin Jing,
“Alright…”
“This time, I’ll leave the Alchemy to you, Brother Lin.”
“Is there anything you are still lacking for the Alchemy, Brother Lin? I will find a way to get it for you.”
Lin Jing pondered for a moment, then said,
“I won’t hide it from Brother Lu; if I want to refine a Fourth Rank Elixir Medicine, I’m still missing a suitable Pill Furnace and the Elixir recipe for the Nirvana Elixir.”
“My Pill Furnace is fine for refining Third Rank Elixir Medicines, but for Fourth Rank ones, it may not withstand the process.”
“Aside from that, I also need some Alchemy Ingredients for practice. They don’t have to be Fourth Rank; Second or Third Rank materials will suffice.”
After hearing Lin Jing’s request, Lu Youjiu nodded and said,
“Alchemy Ingredients are easy to deal with. The recipe for the Nirvana Elixir can be obtained through the Seven Seas Hall, so that’s not a problem. It’s just the Pill Furnace…”
At this point, Lu Youjiu paused for a moment before continuing,
“I’ll find a way. You don’t have to worry about it; just focus on refining your Elixir Medicine.”
After speaking, Lu Youjiu turned to Yan Wanfei and said,
“Niu San, bring out the Storage Bags you acquired from those two Golden Core Cultivators, one tall and one short.”
“Alright, Brother Jiu.”
Yan Wanfei replied, then took two Storage Bags from his body and handed them to Lu Youjiu.
Lu Youjiu reached out to receive them, opened the Storage Bags, and inspected them.
After the inspection, Lu Youjiu set one of the Storage Bags aside.
Next.
He took out two more Storage Bags from his own body, and along with the one from before, handed a total of three Storage Bags to Lin Jing.
“Brother Lu, what is this?” Lin Jing asked with curiosity.
“These are all Alchemy Ingredients; take them,” Lu Youjiu said.
Lin Jing accepted the Storage Bags, opened them, and let his Divine Sense probe inside.
He found out that, indeed, as Lu Youjiu had said, these Storage Bags contained Alchemy Ingredients.
Most of these materials were Second Rank, and there were also some Third Rank ingredients, but they were few and far between.
Then, Lin Jing checked all three Storage Bags one by one.
Finally, in the third Storage Bag, he found some truly good items.
This third Storage Bag was the one Yan Wanfei had earlier given to Lu Youjiu.
Inside this Storage Bag, there was a substantial amount of Third Rank Spirit Plants.
Even enough to refine several furnaces of Third Rank Elixir Medicines.
There was even a complete set of ingredients for refining a Cultivation True Elixir.
Besides that, aside from Spirit Stones, there was a Pill Furnace, and some Jade Slips and books.
And all these Jade Slips and books were related to Alchemy.
Clearly, the owner of this Storage Bag was also an Alchemist.
After examining the Storage Bag with his Divine Sense, Lin Jing looked up at Lu Youjiu and said,
“Brother Lu…”
“The owner of this Storage Bag was an Alchemist. I wonder how good his Pill Furnace is?”
Lu Youjiu shook his head and replied,
“When you two went to pick up those two little girls, we already found out.”
“That tall Golden Core Cultivator was an Alchemist, but he was just a Third Grade Alchemist. His Pill Furnace doesn’t seem very impressive, and I’m afraid it might not meet your requirements for refining Fourth Rank Elixir Medicines.”
“So that’s how it is…”
Lin Jing sighed, clearly somewhat disappointed.
Lu Youjiu then added,
“Actually, after we finish discussing in a while, you could take a look at it yourself. After all, I haven’t seen it with my own eyes.”
Lin Jing nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll have a look later.”
Lu Youjiu nodded and continued,
“You really don’t need to worry about the Pill Furnace, Brother Lin. Leave it to me.”
Lu Youjiu was full of confidence.
However, at this moment, Holaw Three Rivers spoke up:
“Are you planning to look for ‘him’?”
Lu Youjiu nodded and said, “Yes.”
San He fell silent for a while before speaking:
“Now, we can only turn to ‘him’…”
After hearing what Lu Youjiu had said, San He immediately fell silent.
The conversation between the two left Lin Jing completely confused.
Even Yan Wanfei next to them was utterly baffled.
“Who exactly are you talking about?”
Lu Youjiu glared at Yan Wanfei:
“Do your own thing, don’t nose into others’ business…”
It must be said that Yan Wanfei was terrified of Lu Youjiu down to his bones.
With that glare, Yan Wanfei immediately stopped talking and sat there obediently.
Then.
Lu Youjiu continued to instruct Yan Wanfei:
“Niu San, Lin Brother needs to do alchemy, so the task of searching for other materials will be left to you, along with the materials San He needs for formations. Collect those as well.”
“Later, I will give you all my Spirit Stones. Whatever Lin Brother and San He need, don’t be stingy; just buy it.”
“And my Spirit Stones will be handed to you as well…” San He also said at this time.
Lin Jing also made his position clear:
“I have some Spirit Stones here too…”
However, Lin Jing was interrupted by Lu Youjiu before he could finish.
“Lin Brother, there’s no need…”
“Our Spirit Stones were all earned by the three of us working on tasks together; there’s no distinction between whose is whose. Your Spirit Stones were hard-earned by yourself, so just keep them.”
Yan Wanfei also said at that moment:
“That’s right, Lin Brother…”
“Keep your Spirit Stones for yourself.”
“If we really don’t have enough when it comes time to purchase the Nirvana Flower, then we’ll come to you to borrow some.”
Lu Youjiu also nodded and said:
“Niu San is right…”
“Although we’ve earned a fair amount of Spirit Stones, acquiring a Nirvana Flower might still stretch us thin.”
“At that time, we might indeed need to trouble Lin Brother.”
At this point.
Lin Jing spoke up:
“Actually…”
“It doesn’t need to be so troublesome.”
The three of them then all looked at Lin Jing with confusion, not understanding what he meant.
Immediately thereafter.
Lin Jing reached into his Storage Bag and took out a Spirit-Quelling Box from inside, placing it in front of everyone.
The group stared at the Spirit-Quelling Box and then back at Lin Jing, not comprehending.
Lin Jing then gestured for them to open it.
Although puzzled, Lu Youjiu, trusting in Lin Jing, reached forward and opened the Spirit-Quelling Box.
The moment the Spirit-Quelling Box was opened, both Lu Youjiu and San He were left dumbfounded and frozen in place.
Since Yan Wanfei was facing the other two, he hadn’t seen what was inside the box.
Seeing Lu Youjiu and San He’s stunned faces, he couldn’t help but grow curious.
“What in the world is it that has both of you making such faces…”
While speaking, Yan Wanfei leaned over to look inside the Spirit-Quelling Box.
Once he saw what was inside, he too was left as stunned as the other two, motionless.
It was only after a long while.
That they came back to their senses.
The most excited was Yan Wanfei.
“This… this… this…”
“What have I seen?”
“This is… a Nirvana Flower…”
Having said this, Yan Wanfei, face flushed with excitement, walked over and embraced Lin Jing.
Lin Jing quickly dodged, admonishing Yan Wanfei:
“Brother Niu…”
“Please behave, I’m not into that…”
Still caught up in his excitement, Yan Wanfei paid no heed to Lin Jing’s mention of “that” or to Lin Jing evading him, and continued passionately:
“My goodness… Lin Brother…”
“You’re incredible, when did you get the Nirvana Flower? Why didn’t you give old Niu a heads-up? This really has taken me by surprise…”
At this point, even Lu Youjiu and San He looked up at Lin Jing:
“Lin Brother, where did you get this Nirvana Flower from?”
Lin Jing then said:
“To start off, this should probably be considered as something I obtained from an enemy…”
Following that, Yan Wanfei excitedly said to Lu Youjiu, “Brother Jiou, with this Nirvana Flower, a Nirvana Elixir isn’t far off.”
Lu Youjiu nodded and said:
“Indeed.”
After speaking, Lu Youjiu looked at the Nirvana Flower on the table and then said to Lin Jing:
“Lin Brother, you must be aware of the value of this Nirvana Flower…”
“I can’t just take advantage of it like this, what would you like in return for it?”
Lin Jing waved his hand and said:
“Lu Brother, you are being too formal…”
“We few are all in the same boat now; what matters most is getting past the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.”
“Let’s not talk about compensation. Lu Brother, you had better ascend to Nascent Soul soon and deal with the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch; that’s the main concern.”
