As the voice faded, a burst of light appeared, and the formation in front of them parted to both sides, creating a gap large enough for one person to pass through.

Elder Yu walked inside and gestured for Lin Jing to follow.

Lin Jing nodded and then followed closely behind Elder Yu.

Upon entering, Lin Jing found the room to be very modest, with simple decorations.

However, the spiritual energy was extremely rich, so rich that it surprised Lin Jing.

The spiritual energy here was even more abundant than in his System Space, truly befitting a place where a steward of Yuebaolou resided.

They went around the screen at the entrance and entered the room.

Inside the room, Lin Jing saw an old man with white beard seated in meditation; upon their arrival, he opened his eyes and looked at them.

Lin Jing recognized him; wasn’t this the Golden Core Cultivator who was with the manager of the Inner Fang Market that day?

“This is Elder Bai, who manages Yuebaolou in Nanshan Market,”

Elder Yu said to Lin Jing.

“Junior Lin Jing pays respects to Elder Bai,” Lin Jing greeted Elder Bai with a bow.

Elder Bai nodded, sized up Lin Jing, then turned to Elder Yu and said,

“You’ve brought him here now, why? Has he really produced a supreme elixir?”

“Yes,” Elder Yu replied, handing over the porcelain bottle containing the elixir medicine.

Elder Bai took the bottle, opened the cork, then poured out the elixir and after a thorough examination, nodded and said, “Hmm, this is indeed a supreme elixir.”

“But…”

Elder Bai’s tone changed as he continued,

“This one pill doesn’t prove much, although you, Elder Yu, claimed his talent is astonishing, I haven’t seen him perform alchemy with my own eyes.”

“Moreover, becoming a Pill Master offering priest for Yuebaolou isn’t something that can be achieved with just one supreme elixir.” 𝚏𝗿𝗲ew𝐞b𝐧o𝚟𝚎𝗹.com

“Elder Bai, didn’t you say last time…”

Elder Yu immediately tried to interject, but Elder Bai raised his hand to stop him.

“Elder Yu, you’re too anxious…”

“I know you’re eager to see talent not go to waste, to see someone with such a gift for the Alchemy Dao not be buried in obscurity.”

“But one must guard against others…”

“What if he were to deceive you with just one supreme elixir? Do you know how many people are desperate to enter the Inner Fang Market?”

“Therefore, I need to assess this person myself.”

“But…”

Elder Yu still wanted to say something, but Lin Jing interrupted him. “Elder Yu, no need for further words.”

Elder Yu turned his head to look at Lin Jing, who nodded to him in acknowledgment.

Lin Jing then bowed to Elder Bai and said, “Elder Bai, I am willing to undergo the assessment.”

“Good,”

Elder Bai nodded, and continued,

“It’s too late today.”

“How about this, come to the alchemy room tomorrow, and you will concoct on the spot. Elder Yu and I will judge, how is that?”

“That’s fine,” Lin Jing nodded in agreement.

Elder Bai thought for a moment and then added, “I haven’t decided on the specific content of the assessment, I will let you know tomorrow after I’ve thought it through.”

“I will follow Elder Bai’s arrangements,” Lin Jing said with a bow.

Elder Bai nodded, and then said to Elder Yu, “Alright, you two go back for now, tomorrow just bring him directly to the alchemy room.”

After leaving Elder Bails room, Elder Yu expressed his apologies to Lin Jing,

“Initially, I had already discussed the matter with Elder Bai, but to my surprise, he added another assessment.”

“Elder Yu, you shouldn’t blame yourself. It’s only normal for me to undergo an assessment if I wish to become a pill master offering priest for Yuebaolou, isn’t

“Besides, Elder Yu, you haven’t seen me perform alchemy with your own eyes yet, now there is a good opportunity for you to see. If there is anything I’m doing wrong, please offer your guidance,” Lin Jing said.

After listening to Lin Jing’s words, Elder Yu was relieved, especially by the last sentence, which comforted him. Elder Yu kept nodding and said,

“Well said, well said…

After finishing, he reminded Lin Jing, “For tomorrow’s examination, Elder Bai might ask you to make a superior elixir for the assessment. Are you confident?”

Lin Jing thought for a moment and said, “Don’t worry, Elder Yu. As for supreme elixirs, that might be a bit difficult to say, but there should be no problem with superior elixirs. ”

This time, the use of the System Space would definitely be prohibited, which meant the success rate bonus from the System Space would no longer apply.

However, he was now a Second-Grade Alchemist. Making a first Rank elixir was still very easy for him. Even without the system’s enhancement, making a supreme elixir should also not be much of an issue.

But even so, Lin Jing dared not to be too full of himself.

After all, alchemy was never one hundred percent certain; who knew what accidents might occur?

Afterward, having chatted with Elder Yu for a while longer, Lin Jing then left.

Early the next day, Lin Jing arrived at Yuebaolou.

And Elder Yu had already been waiting there for a long time.

“Let’s go, we’ll head to the alchemy room now,” Elder Yu said upon seeing Lin Jing’s arrival.

“Okay,” Lin Jing nodded, then followed behind Elder Yu.

The two left Yuebaolou from the back, crossed the street, and walked a distance until they came to a quiet courtyard and stopped.

Elder Yu pointed to the small courtyard in front of them and said, “This is Yuebaolou’s alchemy room.”

“Elder Yu, why is the alchemy room built here? I saw there was a courtyard behind Yuebaolou, why not there?” Elder Yu sighed and replied,

“Alas…

“There used to be an alchemy room there, but later an Offering Priest, who is a pill master, had an accident while doing alchemy, which caused a furnace to explode.”

“The explosion from that event was quite powerful. It broke through the alchemy room’s defensive array and affected Yuebaolou, causing significant casualties. ”

“Therefore, since then, the alchemy room has been moved here.”

Lin Jing looked around and found that this place was indeed very quiet, and the surrounding courtyards seemed to be uninhabited.

It was unclear if this was done specifically to prevent unforeseen incidents.

Pushing open the courtyard door and walking in, Lin Jing found the space inside was not small; there was a large square in the courtyard, and behind the square was an alchemy room.

“Does no one come here usually?” Lin Jing asked, curious.

“Of course…” Elder Yu began to answer.

“Those Offering Priest pill masters aren’t here; most of them do alchemy in their own homes, and few come here to practice alchemy.”

“This place is usually only used in special circumstances, or during alchemy competitions between the offering priests.”

“Oh… I see.” Lin Jing suddenly understood.

Next, Lin Jing and Elder Yu waited there, expecting Elder Bail s arrival.

They didn’t have to wait long before Elder Bai arrived.

“Elder Bai.” Lin Jing bowed in greeting.

Elder Bai nodded in response and then said,

“For today’s assessment, I’m not planning on making it difficult for you. I’ll give you three chances, and you only need to successfully make one batch.”

“As for the final outcome, it will be decided after Elder Yu and I have inspected and consulted on it.”

“Yes, Elder Bai,” Lin Jing replied.

“Alright then, let’s go inside.” Having said that, Elder Bai led the way to the alchemy room.

Lin Jing and Elder Yu followed behind him.

Upon arriving at the alchemy room, Elder Bai took out three sets of materials for the Energy Gathering Pill and handed them to Lin Jing.

Then he told him,

“Alright, you can begin now.” “Okay,” Lin Jing nodded..
