Chapter 437: Chapter 437: 136 New System Feature: Instant Growth of Spirit Plants

Seeing that the white-robed elder indeed possessed exceptional alchemy skills, Lin Jue directly approached him for recruitment.

After speaking, Lin Jue pointed to Lin Jing and said:

“This is our master of Li Yan Pavilion, and the true owner of Li Yan Elixir Pavilion.”

At this time, Lin Jing also spoke up, asking:

“I wonder, elder, if you would be willing to stay at our Li Yan Elixir Pavilion?”

The white-robed elder, however, shook his head and said:

“Thank you both for your kind intentions, but I’m used to my freedom and prefer not to join any power.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing did not press the matter further.

Afterwards, the elder bid farewell to Lin Jing and left directly.

At this point, only the two island masters from Qianyan Island remained, standing amidst the crowd with ashen faces.

Looking at Lin Jing, they said:

“Fellow Daoist, with such actions and plans to expand the Fang Market, do you really intend to dominate all the business in the surrounding seas?”

“Aren’t you afraid that Yelin Island will cause you trouble?”

Yelin Island is the only medium-sized island in the nearby waters, and its Island Master, True Lord Yelin, is a Nascent Soul Stage expert.

Before Lin Jing’s Fang Market came into prominence, Yelin Island also had a market.

However, Yelin Island’s market was different from Lin Jing’s Li Yan Fang Market.

This was because the market on Yelin Island didn’t welcome low-level cultivators.

Those who entered the market were mainly Golden Core Cultivators and the local Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Even local cultivators with insufficient cultivation were not allowed to enter.

It is said that True Lord Yelin did not like low-level cultivators entering his island.

Therefore, Yelin Island’s market was not large and mostly catered to the business of Golden Core Cultivators.

It is precisely for this reason that despite being open for many years, Yelin Island’s market never really took off.

Nevertheless, in the eyes of the Golden Core Cultivators, Yelin Island’s market was not bad.

Lin Jing was not worried about Yelin Island.

Because Li Yan Fang Market mostly did business with the low-level cultivators from other islands, it did not conflict with Yelin Island.

Lin Jing looked at the two men and said:

“There’s no need for concern on your part.”

Upon hearing this, the two men huffed coldly and were about to leave directly.

However, at this moment, Lin Jue called out to them.

Lin Jue said:

“Have you two forgotten about the wager we made earlier?”

The two of them were immediately stunned upon hearing this.

They glanced at Lin Jing and, seeing him looking at them, their faces turned extremely unsightly.

Then, one of them took out a wooden box from their Storage Bag and threw it to Lin Jue before they both left…

After the two had departed, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed as well.

When Lin Jue opened the wooden box, he immediately burst into joy, then bouncing over to Lin Jing’s side, he said:

“Brother…”

“I was impressive, wasn’t I.”

Lin Jing nodded, then said:

“Hmm…”

“But in the future, try to keep a low profile, don’t casually compete with others in alchemy, be careful not to expose yourself.”

Lin Jue replied:

“Don’t worry, brother…”

“If those two hadn’t been too overbearing today, I wouldn’t have agreed to their request for an alchemy competition.”

“Moreover, the wager they offered was enticing.”

With that, Lin Jue presented the wooden box to Lin Jing as if offering a treasure, and then said with a smile:

“Brother, open it and see…”

Lin Jing picked up the wooden box, opened it directly, and saw that it contained the last Spirit Plant—Moonflow Pure Heart Fruit—that he needed for concocting the Nirvana Elixir.

And it was a Moonflow Pure Heart Fruit with its root intact,

which could be planted in the System Space.

No wonder Lin Jue had agreed to their challenge; it was for this Spirit Plant.

Lin Jing then looked at Lin Jue and asked:

“Was it because of this that you decided to compete with them?”

Lin Jue replied:

“Of course, didn’t you say before, brother, that with this last Spirit Plant, you could concoct the Nirvana Elixir? Now that they’ve delivered it to our doorstep, there’s no reason not to take it.”

Lin Jing looked at Lin Jue and said:

“You did well this time…”

“But next time you encounter such a situation, still be careful and not so reckless.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jue pouted, showing her dissatisfaction:

“Brother…”

“I won the Spirit Plant for you, and all you do is criticize me, not even mentioning any reward…”

Lin Jing then smiled slightly and said:

“You have done all this, there definitely will be a reward. Since I’m not too busy these days, I will take you all for a trip to Bihai City.”

“We’ll also buy a few Magical Treasures and Cultivation Techniques for you, as both your Magical Treasures and Cultivation Techniques really do need an upgrade…”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jue was immediately overjoyed and said:

“Thank you, brother…”

…

After that, the group followed Lin Jing back to the forbidden area in the northern part of Li Yan Island.

Having just passed through the Formation and speaking to Ye Yun, Lin Jue couldn’t wait to switch back to her original identity.

While they were having a good conversation, as soon as Lin Jue switched back to her original female identity, Ye Yun immediately stopped the words he was about to say.

Ye Yun’s face flushed beet-red at once.

Seeing this, Lin Jue immediately stomped her feet in annoyance.

“Ye Blockhead, how come after all this time, you still haven’t gotten used to my real identity?”

With a reddened face, Ye Yun stammered:

“It’s a bit… a bit, hard to adjust to…”

Lin Jue then walked right up to Ye Yun, looked him in the eye, and asked:

“Back in Bihai City when we used to cultivate together, and even shared a room during rest, how come you were used to it then?”

Faced with Lin Jue’s relentless questioning, Ye Yun blushed even more, his face turning red all the way to the roots of his ears:
