“It’s all here, shopkeeper, please take a look.”

As Lin Jing finished speaking, he took out several porcelain bottles from his storage bag and placed them on the counter.

The shopkeeper’s eyes lit up, sensing a big transaction was at hand.

He picked up a porcelain bottle from the counter, poured out the elixir medicine inside it, and carefully examined it in his hands.

After a while, he nodded and said with a smile,

“Customer, these elixir medicines are of good quality, you must already be a Second-Grade Alchemist.”

The shopkeeper continued to speak, but his hands didn’t stop working.

He opened the next bottle and continued with the inspection.

“The shopkeeper is joking. The path of a pill master is filled with difficulties in advancing; it’s not so easy to be promoted to a Second-Grade Alchemist,” Lin Jing chimed in.

“What the customer says is true; the road of an alchemist is indeed difficult to ascend. Currently, in the entire Nanshan Market, there are only a handful of Second-Grade Alchemists.”

“However, I believe.”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper looked up at Lin Jing with a confident gaze.

“Considering the quality of the elixir medicines you brought out today, you’re not far from becoming a Second-Grade Alchemist.”

“Then I’ll take your auspicious words,” Lin Jing replied with a smile.

It didn’t take long for the batch of elixir medicines to be thoroughly inspected.

“Customer.”

The shopkeeper busily manipulated his abacus with clicking sounds and began to speak,

“This batch of elixir medicines has a total of 145 Medium Grade pills, 61 Superior pills, and 4 Supreme Elixirs.”

“Among them, there are Fasting Pills, Energy Gathering Pills, Energy Restoration Elixirs, and even Blood Coagulation Pills, and these elixirs have different prices.”

At this point, the sound of the abacus abruptly stopped.

He clearly had calculated the result.

“I’ve just tallied it all up for you; these elixir medicines are worth a total of 320 Spirit Stones.”

“I wonder if the customer is satisfied with this price?”

“Hmm, it’s acceptable.”

This price was nearly identical to Lin Jing’s own calculations.

“Shopkeeper.” Lin Jing suddenly spoke up.

The shopkeeper raised his head, looking at Lin Jing.

“Does the customer have any other matters?”

“I wonder if you accept Pure Elixirs here?”

“Pure Elixirs!”

The shopkeeper was shocked and then quickly replied.

“Of course, we accept it.”

“Do you have any Pure Elixirs you wish to sell?”

“Indeed.” Lin Jing nodded.

“May I have a look at them?”

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands together, eagerness apparent in his demeanor as he fixed his gaze on Lin Jing.

Pure Elixirs had not been sold for a long time; even those alchemists who managed to refine them rarely sold them.

It was the best proof of one’s alchemical prowess. Carrying one’s own Pure Elixirs to serve as an offering priest for smaller clans would ensure even family heads treat you with utmost respect.

If one was in dire straits and needed to sell them, they would typically be sold to major trading companies like Yuebaolou.

For smaller businesses like theirs, it was incredibly difficult to get a hold of Pure Elixirs.

It might be years before they even saw one.

“Of course.”

Having said that, Lin Jing took out a Pure Jade Box from his storage bag and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The Pure Jade Box was transparent, allowing a clear view of the elixir inside.

The shopkeeper held the Pure Jade Box but did not open it.

He knew that as soon as it was opened, the Pure Elixir inside would start to be tarnished by external airs.

If tarnished for too long, the Pure Elixir would degrade into a Supreme Elixir.

Watching the brilliance flowing above the elixir, the shopkeeper was ecstatic.

“Is this a freshly made Pure Elixir? Are you really planning to sell it?”

“I’ve encountered some difficulties lately and have been somewhat financially stretched. Please make me an offer, shopkeeper,” Lin Jing said, making up a reason to avoid suspicion.

The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, then said,

“This Energy Restoration Elixir, being in the middle tier among First-Grade elixirs, is not too shabby. If you are to sell it at Yuebaolou, it should be worth around 500 Spirit Stones.”

“So let’s value it at 500 Spirit Stones. What do you think?”

“That’ll do.”

Lin Jing nodded slightly, the price was already not low.

“Then, fellow daoist, if you are certain you want to make the deal, we must open the Pure Jade Box for the final step of verification.”

“Alright, open it.”

Lin Jing nodded again.

To verify the Pure Elixir, it was natural to open the Pure Jade Box; there was no fault in that.

The shopkeeper carefully and gently opened a crack in the Pure Jade Box.

In an instant, the fragrance of the elixir wafted out.

“Snap”

It was just a moment, and the Pure Jade Box was closed again.

This unique scent of the medicine could definitely not be faked.

“The check is correct, it is indeed the Pure Energy Restoration Elixir.”

The smile on the shopkeeper’s face was clearly visible, and then he put away the Pure Jade Box.

“Honored guest, please wait a moment, I will get your Spirit Stones.”

After a while, the shopkeeper counted the Spirit Stones and handed them to Lin Jing.

“A total of 820 Lower Grade Spirit Stones, please count them.”

“Hmm.”

Lin Jing received the Spirit Stones, which had already been sorted—eight small bags with 100 Spirit Stones each, plus an extra twenty, making exactly 820.

“Honored guest, if you have more elixir medicines to sell in the future, you can still come to our shop; the prices are absolutely fair.”

“Rest assured, shopkeeper.”

With the transaction complete, Lin Jing bid farewell to the shopkeeper and left the place.

With over 800 Spirit Stones in hand, he didn’t have to worry about Spirit Stones for the time being.

In the following period, he was going to start alchemy and strive to improve his cultivation.

……

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

In these two months, Lin Jing rarely left the house.

He spent the days with Luo Luo and the nights practicing alchemy in the System Space.

During this time, Lin Jing’s alchemy skills also improved by leaps and bounds.

Lin Jing could now say that crafting elixirs had become a matter of ease for him.

Perhaps it was because he often practiced alchemy in the System Space, with the strengthening of his Divine Sense and accumulating successful experience.

Even when alchemizing in the outside world, his success rate was higher than that of an average Alchemist.

Of course, Ning Yue’s contribution was far from small.

The knowledge he had learned from Ning Yue was almost all mastered by now.

In these two months, as of last night, he had produced a total of 10 Pure Energy Gathering Pills.

And without a doubt, he had swallowed all these Pure Energy Gathering Pills; he was now at the Third Layer of Qi Refinement.

Opening his panel, his cultivation status was displayed prominently.

Lin Jing (23/90)

Spiritual Root: Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root (Low Grade)

Cultivation: Third Layer of Qi Refinement (82%)

Cultivation Techniques: Qingyuan Dao Method (First Level), Qingyuan Sword Control Technique (Beginner), Controlling Fire Technique (Proficient)

Secondary Occupation: First-Grade Alchemist (1806/3000)

The Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement was not far off, and his proficiency as an Alchemist was already more than half achieved. It wouldn’t be long before Lin Jing would advance to Second-Grade Alchemist.

……

“Thump thump thump”

There was a knock at the door.

Lin Jing put on his cotton-padded jacket and stepped out of the house. It was January, and everything outside was blanketed in white, as if covered with a layer of white quilt.

Stepping outside onto the thick snow, it made a creaking sound beneath his feet.

“Creak…”

The door opened, and Ning Yue stood outside, dressed in a red jacket.

“Ning Daoyou, you’re back.”

“Mm, where’s Luo Luo?”

Ning Yue asked.

“Luo Luo is in her room, reading the storybook you bought her,” Lin Jing replied.

Then he added, “She’s quite engrossed.”

“Lin Daoyou, I’m really grateful for your help during this time.”

“What? Ning Daoyou, have you finished your alchemy?”
