Lin Jing hadn’t left his house during this time and had no idea how the auction preparation was going.

In fact, he was quite curious about the list of items and wanted to see what new treasures had been added recently.

However, since he had already said he wouldn’t attend the auction, it seemed somewhat improper to ask Elder Yu about the item list again.

But now, Huang Qingling had just brought the auction item list, and naturally, he was extremely delighted.

“Qing Ling, you jest…”

“I can’t afford the items on this list, but I’m still very curious and want to see what new treasures the auction has added.”

With that, Lin Jing picked up the list booklet, opened it, and began to flip through it.

This time, there indeed had been quite a few additions, and Lin Jing noticed that this time there were even a few cultivation techniques listed.

However, while these techniques appeared to be good, they all had certain restrictions; either they required compatibility with a particular spiritual root attribute, or they could only unleash their greatest effect when practiced by cultivators with more than three attributes in their spiritual roots.

For someone like Lin Jing with a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root, it would be better to practice the Qingyuan Dao Method from the Qingyuan Sword Sect than these techniques.

Then there were spells. Although Lin Jing was in need of spells, his spiritual root quality was too poor, which meant that practicing spells would be inefficient, and it was difficult to find relatively compatible ones.

Therefore, he could only practice attribute-less spells, much like the Sword Control Technique.

However, Lin Jing was engaged in alchemy every day and did not have the energy or time to waste learning other spells.

Lin Jing then shifted his gaze and continued to flip through the pages.

As he browsed, he saw a cultivation technique and subconsciously thought to skip over it, but then his eyes casually glanced at the introduction following the technique, and he couldn’t look away.

Lingyin Yu Jian Jue: Practicing this sword technique allows one to conceal the spiritual power fluctuations of a flying sword, silently approaching the enemy. If paired with an invisible and intangible flying sword, the true power of this technique could be maximally utilized.

The introduction was simple, but upon reading about this sword technique, Lin Jing thought of the Flawless Sword that had been collecting dust in his Storage Bag.

The Flawless Sword and this technique were a perfect match—if he learned this Lingyin Yu Jian Jue, wouldn’t it fill the gap in his offensive capabilities?

That way, if he encountered danger in the future, he wouldn’t always have to resort to using talismans.

He just didn’t know how much this Lingyin Yu Jian Jue would cost. The introduction alone didn’t reveal much; he guessed the details would only be provided at the auction.

Lin Jing could only note it down for now and check it out when the time came. If the price wasn’t too expensive, he would bid for it directly.

He also had to get his hands on that Biling Flower rhizome.

But the spirit stones he had on him were clearly not enough to obtain both items; he would have to earn more spirit stones through alchemy.

After that, Lin Jing continued to flip through the booklet. There were even more treasures toward the back, including several third -tier spirit plants, which also tempted Lin Jing.

Only, the prices of these spirit plants would definitely not be cheap.

Soon, Lin Jing finished looking through the booklet and returned it to Huang Qingling.

Huang Qingling took the booklet with her hand and then casually placed it aside.

“Lin Jing, do you know?”

“There’s a rumor going around the Fang Market.”

Having put down her chopsticks, Huang Qingling looked up at Lin Jing and spoke.

“What rumor?”

Lin Jing also looked towards Huang Qingling, curiously asking.

“It’s about the recent speculation concerning the Clear Accumulation Elixir and the Dust Purging Grass affair,” Huang Qingling began.

“Come on, tell me what this is all about,” Lin Jing said, his interest piqued and wanting to know the full story.

“It’s like this…”

“Recently, someone has been buying up Pure Accumulation Pills and Dust

Purging Grass in large quantities. It is said that this is actually for the Zhang

Family Patriarch, Zhang Chenfan.”

“The Zhang Family Patriarch? What does he have to do with the Clear Accumulation Elixir incident?” Lin Jing asked.

“You must also be aware that the Zhang Family Patriarch is nearing the end of his lifespan and doesn’t have much time left to live, ” Huang Qingling continued to speak.

Lin Jing nodded and said, “Right, Elder Yu mentioned it when I visited the

Drunken Immortal Pavilion before, so naturally, I’m aware of it.”

“Then let me ask you another question, what is the finale auction item for this

auction?” Huang Qingling looked at Lin Jing and asked.

“If my guess is correct, it should be that Lifespan Extension Pill…” “You mean, it has something to do with the Lifespan Extension Pill.”

“Given that the Zhang Family Patriarch’s days are numbered, the Zhang Family will definitely try every means to win that Lifespan Extension Pill.” “Right, it’s that very Lifespan Extension Pill,” Huang Qingling nodded. “I didn’t know why before, but later I asked Old Man Bai. Old Man Bai told me…”

“Some families do not wish for the Zhang Family Patriarch to continue living, so they are causing trouble from the shadows.” At this point, Lin Jing suddenly realized the truth.

“I understand…”

“This Zhang Family Patriarch, Zhang Chenfan, Elder Yu had mentioned…”

“He himself is a legendary figure, with the Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root talent reaching the Golden Core Stage, probably the only one in the entire Nanming Domain.”

“But, it is precisely because he has the Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root that his path to increasing his cultivation must be extremely difficult.”

“If I’m not mistaken, his cultivation level, it can be said, is entirely built upon Elixir Medicine.”

“With so many Elixir Medicines accumulated, one can imagine the elixir poisoning in his body, although it’s not too harmful ordinarily.”

“However, it significantly reduces the effectiveness when he consumes Elixir Medicine.”

“And now he plans to bid for that Lifespan Extension Pill, taking it to increase his lifespan.”

“But he also needs to prepare the Clear Accumulation Elixir in advance to reduce the elixir poison in his body, so that when he takes the Lifespan Extension Pill, he achieves the maximum effect and lives a few more years to preside over the Zhang Family.”

“Therefore, someone has targeted the Clear Accumulation Elixir, and in doing so, even if he obtains that Lifespan Extension Pill, his life won’t be extended for much longer.”

“Heh heh…”

Huang Qingling laughed twice, then said:

“That’s exactly it, Old Man Bai said so.”

Lin Jing continued to speak:n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“If I’m not wrong, they are not only targeting the Clear Accumulation Elixir and the Dust-Cleaning Herb, but they’ll probably also try to bid for that Lifespan

Extension Pill during the auction event.”

“Exactly, that’s a certainty,” Huang Qingling said.

“However…”

“It won’t be so easy for them to get their hands on it, let’s not talk about the Clear Accumulation Elixir for the moment, the Zhang Family is certainly determined to get the Lifespan Extension Pill.”

“After all, the Lifespan Extension Pill is what’s most important.” “Without the Lifespan Extension Pill, all else is meaningless.”

“Indeed,” Lin Jing nodded in agreement.

Soon after, not much later, after finishing the meal, Huang Qingling left with Little Sparrow.

This time Huang Qingling’s visit was brief; she did not even stay for a full hour before she returned.

Meanwhile, the Alchemy Room had still not succeeded in upgrading.

Afterward, Lin Jing returned to his room and began to resume his meditation to recover.

He did not know how much time had passed when he was suddenly awakened by a system notification sound while meditating to restore his energy.

“Ding. ”

“System notification: Alchemy Room upgrade complete..”
