Chapter 363: Chapter 64 Spirit Rock Island
Afterward,
Lin Jing exited the System Space.
The system upgrade actually required 120 hours.
A full five days.
During these five days, he didn’t have much to do.
Having left the System Space, Lin Jing straightened out his clothes and then directly departed from the Alchemy Room.
As soon as he stepped out of the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing went to check on the two high-grade Spirit Fields.
In the Spirit Fields, several third-grade Spirit Plants swayed in the breeze.
Moreover, these Spirit Plants were thriving, showing no signs of wilting and looking very healthy.
This was actually the result of Yue Qi’s care.
In the past, when Dai Mao occupied Li Yan Island, she managed the Spirit Fields on this hillside.
Now, although Lin Jing and the others had taken over Li Yan Island and become the Island Master,
they still let them carry out their duties, which made things more convenient.
It had to be said that Yue Qi was quite skilled in caring for Spirit Plants.
The Spirit Plants in this field didn’t seem to be affected at all by the island’s harsh weather conditions.
Moreover, it seemed she also practiced a certain Spell that could promote the growth of Spirit Plants.
Lin Jing was very curious about that Spell; it was just that he had been busy with alchemy recently and had no time.
Otherwise…
Lin Jing actually intended to ask Yue Qi about that Spell.
If possible, he planned to practice it and see what effect it would have on the Spirit Plants in the System Space?
After observing, Lin Jing left the mountaintop and headed down the hill.
It had been a long time since Lin Jing had come down the hill as he had been engaged in alchemy; he wasn’t sure what the situation was like at the foot of the mountain.
It was a good opportunity to go down and have a look.
The foot of the mountain now should be different from before.
Because in these past days, Yan Wanfei had nothing to do and, on a whim, had completely rebuilt the area that Dai Mao had once occupied as a palace.
Afterward, following the advice of the original resident cultivators of the island, Yan Wanfei expanded that area and turned the whole place into a town.
And renamed it to Li Yan City.
Lin Jing only learned about the establishment of Li Yan City a few days ago; according to Yan Wanfei who came to see Lin Jing, the main facilities of Li Yan City were almost completed.
What remained was some detailed planning.
However,
at this stage, there was nothing more for Yan Wanfei to do.
Now, he just strolled around Li Yan City whenever he had no other business.
Then he enjoyed people calling him Island Master Yan; it was exceedingly comfortable.
The only thing that probably bothered him was not having anyone to spar with him in his Body Refining Techniques.
……
After going down the mountain, Lin Jing directly headed to Li Yan City.
Li Yan City had indeed changed a lot compared to before.
In Li Yan City, one could still see many busy figures.
However, Lin Jing didn’t pay much attention to these matters; what was important now was to find Yan Wanfei.
Afterward,
Lin Jing made a round in Li Yan City and the nearby island but found no trace of Yan Wanfei.
So, he asked around.
After inquiring, Lin Jing learned that Yan Wanfei and Holaw Three Rivers had gone to Bihai City two days ago.
Upon knowing this, Lin Jing could only shake his head helplessly.
Then, he went straight to Lu Youjiu’s closed-off retreat area.
When Lin Jing arrived at Lu Youjiu’s retreat, he had just finished a stage of meditation and was about to go out for a walk.
Seeing Lin Jing arrive, Lu Youjiu immediately abandoned the idea of going out and instead returned to the room with Lin Jing.
No sooner had the two of them arrived in the room than Lin Jing took out a Pure Jade Box and several small jade vials and handed them over.
“Brother Lu…”
“I’ve refined all the third-grade materials I’ve collected during this time into Elixir Medicines.”
“I was fortunate to concoct a Pure Elixir, as well as the other Elixirs in these vials.”
During this time, Lin Jing had refined all the third-grade materials he had acquired into Elixir Medicines.
Previously, he had scavenged quite a few Alchemy Ingredients from Dai Mao. Though they seemed plentiful, they were only enough for concocting a dozen or so batches of Elixirs.
Together with those collected later by Yan Wanfei, all combined, they could at most concoct around twenty batches of Elixirs.
Twenty-something batches of Elixirs, in fact, wasn’t a small amount.
Using twenty-something batches of Alchemy Ingredients to concoct a single Pure Elixir wouldn’t be considered a big deal for an ancient Alchemy Path family.
However, with the bonus from the System Alchemy Room, the Pure Elixirs that Lin Jing concocted weren’t just one.
They were four.
But, he didn’t dare to take out all these Pure Elixirs now.
Otherwise, using twenty-something batches of Alchemy Ingredients to concoct four Pure Elixirs would be too shocking.
Lin Jing planned to find a reason before Lu Youjiu was ready to face his Tribulation, to take out these Pure Elixirs.
Because out of these four Elixirs,
besides the Pure Elixir for Lu Youjiu, the Nascent Soul Essence Pure Elixir,
the other three…
Two were Yellow Dragon Elixirs for the quick recovery of Spiritual Power, and one was the Healing Elixir for fast injury recovery.
All these Elixirs were necessary during Tribulation.
With these Pure Elixirs, Lu Youjiu’s success rate in advancing to the Nascent Soul stage would increase significantly when facing his Tribulation.
Afterward,
once Lu Youjiu had checked the Pure Elixir, he then opened the jade vial.
Upon seeing the Elixirs inside, he couldn’t help but express his surprise with a remark,
“The Elixir Medicines you’ve concocted are all of quite good quality.”
“Before, a friend of mine mentioned that Lin Family’s Alchemy Techniques are more formidable than those of the Changyun Family.”
“I didn’t believe it before…”
“Now, I truly do.”
Lin Jing felt somewhat embarrassed.
The high quality of these Elixir Medicines was of course due to the System Space.
However, the System Space must never be exposed no matter what.
So, Lin Jing chuckled twice and said,
“I think they are just fine…”
Lu Youjiu then shook his head and said,
“The Supreme Elixirs you’ve made account for more than thirty percent, doesn’t that say something?”
“Moreover, aside from the Supreme Elixirs, most of them are Superior and Medium Grade, with only two Low Grade Elixir Medicines.”
“If there really were an alchemy competition, I’m afraid no other Alchemist would be your match, except for those older generation Pill Masters.”
“That includes the younger generation of the Changyun Clan.”
Just as Lu Youjiu finished speaking, a rough voice came from outside,
“Competition? What competition?”
This voice could only belong to Yan Wanfei returning.
No sooner had the voice died away than two people walked in.
These two people were none other than Yan Wanfei and Holaw Three Rivers.
Yan Wanfei entered the room and addressed Lu Youjiu directly,
“Brother Jiu, we’re back…”
After that, he turned his head with a grin and said to Lin Jing,
“Brother Lin…”
“You’ve finally decided to come down from the mountain.”
“When Three Rivers and I went into the city, we heard someone saying you had come down from the mountain and were looking for me…”
“Knowing you wouldn’t find me, you’d definitely come here, so we came here directly.”
“Also, what competition were you just talking about?”
Lin Jing then said,
“I had just finished refining some Elixirs and thought I’d rest for a few days. When I couldn’t find you, I came looking for Brother Lu.”
“And no, there’s no competition.”
“We were just chatting idly, using a metaphor.”
“Oh, I see…”
At that moment, Yan Wanfei’s eyes casually swept over and spotted the Pure Jade Box on the table.
His eyes immediately lit up, and he reached out and snatched the box.
Then, Yan Wanfei started to flip the Pure Jade Box over and over in his hands.
On the other hand, Holaw Three Rivers also noticed the box.
But he was not as excited as Yan Wanfei.
Instead, he looked at the Pure Jade Box thoughtfully.
After a long moment.
Yan Wanfei finally finished examining it and then, pointing to the Pure Elixir inside the box, he said to Lin Jing,
“Did you refine this?”
Lin Jing nodded and replied, “I was rather lucky and managed to produce a Pure Elixir Medicine.”
“Brother Lin, seriously, you’re amazing…”
“Third-grade Pure Elixirs are sought by many out there, and to think in such a short time, Brother Lin, you’ve already refined another one.”
“Now, I’m completely convinced by what you said before.”
“Really, you’re much stronger than those Fourth-Grade Pill Masters from Bihai City.”
At this time, Lu Youjiu spoke up to Yan Wanfei,
“Alright, now that you know, don’t go around talking carelessly.”
Yan Wanfei patted his chest and assured,
“Don’t worry, Brother Jiu, I know when to keep quiet.”
Lu Youjiu nodded.
Then,
standing to the side, Holaw Three Rivers suddenly spoke to Lu Youjiu,
“Youjiu, on our trip to Bihai City, while checking the assignments at the Covenant Hall, we discovered that the family of Yan Xing and Yan Yue posted a mission to find the two of them.”
Yan Xing and Yan Yue were the two little girls who, with Yan Wanfei, had been bought back.
They had ventured out for a lark, straying from their clan’s territory.
Unfortunately, they stumbled into trouble, the servants who were protecting them got killed, and the two girls were kidnapped and eventually sold in the Black Xing Island’s trade market.
It wasn’t until later that they were bought by Dai Mao’s people and then rescued by Yan Wanfei.
Upon hearing this, Lu Youjiu forthrightly said,
“Since their families are looking for them, it’s about time we sent them on their way.”
Yan Wanfei quickly said,
“Brother Jiu…”
“The one who posted the mission this time is the Island Master of Spirit Rock Island.”
Spirit Rock Island.
It’s a highly mysterious, secluded island.
There lives a family, almost hidden from the world, proficient in cultivating High-Grade Spiritual Plants.
Every so often, Spirit Rock Island would offer some of these Plants for sale, which is why it had gained such fame.
However, Spirit Rock Island is always covered by a high-level Formation that forbids outsiders from prying, and those who attempt to land on the island can’t even break through the surrounding Formations.
Therefore,
nobody has ever really known what the inside of Spirit Rock Island is like.
