Lin Jing paused for a moment after listeningâ¦
Then, he seriously sized up Huang Qingling.
At this timeâ¦
On her delicate and pretty face, she wore an expression of seriousness.
After thinking for a short while, Lin Jing suddenly spoke:
âOdd changes, even remainsâ¦?â
âWhatâ¦?â
Hearing this, Huang Qingling turned her head to look at Lin Jing, her eyes filled with confusion.
It seemed she didnât understand what Lin Jing meant at all.
âOh, never mind, the moon is quite fullâ¦â
Lin Jing said this without a change in expression.
As his words ended.
Huang Qingling glanced at Lin Jing as if looking at a fool.
âYouâve ruined the good atmosphereâ¦â
After saying this, Huang Qingling strode forward and left.
Two days passed by swiftly.
This dayâ¦
Was also the day Lin Jing had agreed to meet with the elder of the Ning Family.
He waited until it was darkâ¦
When it was almost Zi Time, Lin Jing changed his appearance and assumed a disguise before leaving the house.
Familiar with the route, he made his way to the black market.
Lin Jing went straight to the designated meeting place.
Even before reaching the Secret Trade Room, from a distance, Lin Jing already saw the Ning Family elder waiting at the entrance of the Secret Trade Room.
This time, he was alone.
Even Ning Yue wasnât with him.
Today, Lin Jing had arrived relatively early.
Unexpectedly, the Ning Family elder had arrived even earlier than he had.
Possibly, he was quite anxious, which is why he had come so early.
Lin Jing then walked toward the Ning Family elder.
Before Lin Jing could reach him, the Ning Family elder already noticed him.
Seeing Lin Jing approach, the Ning Family elderâs face broke into a smile and he said:
âYoung friend, youâve finally arrivedâ¦â
Lin Jing noticed that upon seeing him, the elder appeared much more relaxed than before.
âI wonder how it turned outâ¦â
The Ning Family elder asked eagerly and cautiously, fearful of receiving any bad news.
âElder, letâs step inside and talkâ¦â
Lin Jing gestured towards the Secret Trade Room and said to the Ning Family elder.
Upon hearing this, the elderâs eyes lit up.
If they were going to the Secret Trade Room, there must be good news.
Immediately, the Ning Family elder grinned and said:
âYoung friend, please, this wayâ¦â
At this moment, he no longer cared about the dignity of an elder and simply gestured for Lin Jing to head towards the Secret Trade Room.
âElder first, pleaseâ¦â
Lin Jing certainly didnât dare to presume, after all, no matter what, he was a Golden Core Cultivator, and Lin Jing still had to give him that respect.
The Ning Family elder soon reacted.
He repeated earnestly:
âGood⦠goodâ¦â
Then, he stepped towards the Secret Trade Room.
And Lin Jing followed closely behind the Ning Family elder.
Upon reaching the counter, the Ning Family elder took out a Medium Grade Spirit Stone and tossed it to the black-robed elder manning the counter.
Afterwardsâ¦
He took the Token that the black-robed elder threw back.
By this time, Lin Jing had also come over.
The Ning Family elder glanced at the room number on the token, then he and Lin Jing headed together towards the room inside.
Once inside the roomâ¦
As soon as the door closed, the Ning Family elder couldnât wait to ask:
âYoung friendâ¦â
âAbout that seedâ¦â
The Ning Family elder rubbed his hands, looking at Lin Jing with eyes full of anticipation.
Seeing this, Lin Jing saw no need to keep him in suspense.
Instead, he said directly:
âI have not let the elder downâ¦â
âThe issue with that seed has been resolved by a senior of our Elixir Valleyâ¦â
As he spokeâ¦
Lin Jing took out the exquisite wooden box from his Storage Bag.
He then opened it and presented it to the Ning Family elder.
The moment the lid of the box was opened, the Ning Family elder could feel the abundant Spiritual Power within the seed.
When the box was opened, he craned his neck to look inside.
He saw the seed lying there, quietly.
And he also noticedâ¦
The seed was quite different from before, its outer shell had cracked open, revealing a hint of green inside.
After inspecting the seed, the Ning Family elder looked up at Lin Jing with a puzzled expression, as if he wanted to ask somethingâ¦
But before the Ning Family elder could say anything, Lin Jing pre-emptively explained:
âThis seed, after I brought it back, was planted in the Spirit Field by that senior of our Elixir Valley.â
âAfter he took the seed, he planted it in the Spirit Field.â
âHowever, he always prefers not to be disturbed.â
âAs such, Iâm not aware of how he treated the seed.â
âIn the end, when I received the seed after the treatment, it was already like this, somewhat different from before.â
âIt seems as if it is about to sprout.â
After listening to Lin Jingâs explanation, the Ning Family elder immediately understood and happily said:
âGood, as long as it has been healedâ¦â
After speaking, he picked up the wooden box and examined it closely.
Indeed.
As Lin Jing said, the seed did indeed show signs of wanting to sprout.
This was a good thing; how could he not be pleased?
He did not doubt it in the slightest.
The Ning Family elder, sensing the abundant Spiritual Power within the seed, was absolutely certain the seed had been healed.
Subsequently, the Ning Family elder closed the box.
Then, raising his head, he asked Lin Jing:
âYoung friend, did that senior from your Elixir Valley mention why the seed had become like this?â
Lin Jing nodded and said:
âWhen I went to retrieve the seed, the senior of our Elixir Valley mentioned that this seed had changed because there was something inside it.â
âSomething?â
âWhat thing?â
The Ning Family elder looked at Lin Jing, his curiosity piqued.
Lin Jing then said: âFallen Spirit Qiâ¦â
âFallen Spirit Qi?â
The Ning Family elder lowered his head, ponderingâ¦
