Chapter 53: Chapter 53 - 53 Misunderstanding

Soon, the two had settled their arrangement.

One month later, they would meet here again.

Lin Jing and Li Tangyu brought out the Elixir Medicines they each had refined, and whoever could produce a Pure Elixir would be considered the victor.

If neither could produce a Pure Elixir, then the quality of their Elixir Medicines would determine the winner.

Of course, winning or losing didn’t have much impact on Lin Jing, and he wouldn’t suffer any loss either.

The man in black was extremely excited and thanked the two profusely.

Now that there was an additional person to help with refining, and this person was also the Young Master of an Alchemy Dao family, the chances of successfully producing a Pure Elixir Medicine would also increase greatly.

Before long, after bidding farewell to each other, they each went their separate ways.

And Lin Jing no longer continued his stall and left the black market.

In the following days, Lin Jing refined two batches of Elixir Medicine every day, and after each Alchemy session, he would not only recuperate but also constantly review the mistakes he made while refining.

His main priority now was to keep practicing and then summarizing is lessons until he could proficiently refine second-grade Elixir Medicines, and then he could try to refine Pure Body Restoration Pills.

And becoming familiar with the refining process happened quickly.

You see…

That day, Lin Jing’s batch of Elixir Medicine already included a Supreme Elixir.

Lin Jing also sighed with regret, thinking that if there had been two Supreme Elixirs, perhaps the Pure Body Restoration Pill would have already been produced.

Indeed, the Elixir Medicine Lin Jing used for practice was a Rejuvenation Elixir.

After completing the refining, he came out from the System Space.

Lin Jing was about to meditate to recover his state when he heard a commotion outside, which completely distracted him from settling down.

Helplessly, Lin Jing went out to see what was going on.

However, just as he stepped out, he saw the Talisman Master from across the street.

The Talisman Master approached Lin Jing and greeted him.

“Lin Daoyou,” Lin Jing nodded, then asked, “Do you know what has caused such a big commotion?

“Lin Daoyou, you don’t know?” asked the Talisman Master in confusion.

Lin Jing replied, “I’ve been cultivating until now and was just interrupted by the noise, so I came out to check. I hope you can enlighten me.” “Oh, I see, no wonder…’

“It’s said that news just came in—the beast tide is coming again.”

“After the last beast tide, didn’t some Cultivators join the Guard Team because they couldn’t pay the Spirit Stones and became members of the temporary Guard Team?”

“The noise outside is the Fang Market Guard Squad assembling manpower, preparing to go and resist the beast tide.”

“The beast tide is coming again?” Lin Jing frowned.

This Fang Market is becoming increasingly unsafe, yet it seems everyvvhere else is even more dangerous.

Of course, there is one place that must also be very safe, which is the Qingyuan Sword Sect. Unfortunately, Lin Jing had been expelled from the Sect and couldn’t return anymore.

“Lin Daoyou, I must leave now to prepare early. You should also prepare yourself,” said the Talisman Master.

“After this beast tide is over, next time you go to the Yichun Building, don’t forget to bring me along, Brother Lin.”

“Yichun Building?”

“What do you mean, Daoyou?” Lin Jing was completely puzzled.

Yichun Building, just by its name, one could tell what kind of place it was.

Lin Jing had no recollection of ever going to this Yichun Building.

“Lin Daoyou, hogging all the fun isn’t a good habit…” teased the Talisman Master.

“Daoyou, don’t talk nonsense; I have never been to this Yichun Building,” Lin Jing stated straightforwardly.

“Could you have forgotten?”

The Talisman Master asked doubtfully?

“Just a few nights ago, at the Shengyuan Gambling House…”

“I saw with my own eyes that you left from the back door of the gambling house. What else is there except for the Yichun Building?”

Lin Jing was ashamed as he instantly understood.

It turned out to be about that gambling house he passed by on his way to the black market last time.

Lin Jing quickly tried to explain: “Daoyou misunderstood; I went there because I had something to do.”

The corners of the Talisman Master’s mouth twitched:

“We are all fellow daoists.”

“Fellow daoist, that’s not very righteous of you. Who goes there without any business to attend to?”

After speaking, he looked at Lin Jing with a strange gleam in his eyes:

“You were in such a hurry. I saw it very clearly at the time, you entered the gambling house but didn’t even stay, directly leaving through the back door.”

“Just a few days have passed and you’re already denying it?” At this point, he spoke with righteous indignation:

“As one of us, one must not cower in fear…

“Having gone means having gone, one should boldly admit it.” “Fine, if you say so, then so be it.”

Lin Jing, feeling helpless, could only respond in that way.

As for the issue with the entrance to the black market, it was not wise to reveal it to this man, and he didn’t want to explain any further.

The talisman master chuckled with a sneer:

“Heh heh… that’s more like it…

“Lin Daoyou, next time you ‘have business’ at the Yichun House, don’t forget to call me along.”

Seeing his suggestive winking, Lin Jing really wanted to rush up and punch him.

But on second thought, he decided against it.

“Alright, I can’t talk with you any longer, I need to go back and prepare. Lin Daoyou bids farewell.”

Having said that, the talisman master returned to his own courtyard.

Lin Jing then sighed and thought to himself:

“It seems I should try to avoid contact with this person in the future.”

Having thought this, Lin Jing decided to head home and make some preparations in advance.

However, as soon as Lin Jing turned around, he caught sight of two figures, one tall and one short, out of the corner of his eye.

Lin Jing quickly turned his head and saw the two figures were Ning Yue and her daughter Luo Luo; he just didn’t know when they had appeared.

Lin Jing’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

“They didn’t overhear something, did they? I hope they’ve just arrived and didn’t hear anything.”

Lin Jing silently prayed.

Then, he walked up to them to greet the two.

“Fellow Ning. ”

“Luo Luo.”

“Uncle Lin,” Luo Luo greeted Lin Jing happily.

But then, the next thing Luo Luo said made Lin Jing instantly die of embarrassment on the spot.

“Uncle Lin, what kind of place is Yichun House? Is it fun inside?”

After Luo Luo spoke, Lin Jing was momentarily stunned and did not know how to answer.

“Children shouldn’t be nosing about in adults’ affairs.”

Ning Yue admonished Luo Luo.

“Oh…

Luo Luo’s previously cheerful face instantly fell.

Hanging her head low, she kicked the fallen leaves on the ground in dispirited silence.

She felt wronged for having been scolded by her mother for no reason, just for asking a question.

Fortunately, this also indirectly extricated Lin Jing from the awkward situation.

However, Lin Jing felt even more embarrassed now; clearly, they had overheard everything.

“Fellow Ning…”

Lin Jing wanted to explain, but Ning Yue cut him off outright.

“Fellow Lin, it’s chaotic outside now, don’t go wandering off. We’re also heading back. ”

Then, as if to avoid Lin Jing, or maybe for another reason,

As soon as Ning Yue finished speaking, she took Luo Luo with her and left.

Leaving Lin Jing alone in his disarray to face the wind. “Forget it, I can only wait until the next time we meet to explain things clearly.”

With a silent sigh, Lin Jing also returned to his own home..
