Now, The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon had not yet been refined, so he would have to wait a bit longer—there was no use in dwelling on it.
He decided to refine The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon first before considering anything else.
“System, open the panel.”
Lin Jing summoned the system, and then the system panel appeared.
System Space (Level 3)

Afterwards, Lin Jing checked his own information.
Lin Jing (25/90)
Spiritual Root: Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root (Low Grade)
Cultivation: Qi Refinement Sixth Layer (86%)
Cultivation Techniques: Qingyuan Dao Method (Second Level), Qingyuan
Sword Control Technique (Proficient), Controlling Fire Technique (Junior
Achievement), Ning’s Alchemy Method (Alchemy, non-upgradable) Secondary Occupation: Second-Grade Alchemist (6345/10000)
Since the upgrade of the space, the entry time to the System Space had increased,
and coupled with the time flow rate also having tripled, Lin Jing effectively had an additional 12 hours each day compared to others.
That meant his day equaled 36 hours, a full half more than ordinary people.
Moreover, out of these 36 hours, 18 hours were spent within the System Space, where the spiritual energy was particularly rich.
That was why his cultivation had improved quite a bit during this period.
It was only recently that Lin Jing had realized that since acquiring the System Space, his advancement speed seemed a bit too fast.
When he was at Qingyuan Sword Sect, he had just advanced to the Second Layer of Qi Refinement.
And now, upon arriving at Fang Market, in just a year and a half’s time, he had already reached the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement—a rate of cultivation that was nothing short of astonishing, even surpassing Huang Qingling with her Dual Attribute Spirit Root.
Most of this progress could be attributed to the consumption of Pure Elixirs, but the good thing was that the few people he knew now, whether it was Elder Bai, Elder Yu, or Huang Qingling, none of them had paid any attention to his cultivation level.
Furthermore, as an alchemist, as long as his cultivation wasn’t too high, if it improved rapidly, people would just assume it was due to consuming elixir medicines.
Therefore, nobody was currently paying attention to his cultivation.
But if he continued to level up at such a rapid pace, it would eventually be exposed sooner or later.
It was for this reason that Lin Jing needed to acquire The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon to conceal his cultivation level.
Next, Lin Jing had to hurry and refine The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon. Otherwise, if some time passed and he advanced to the Late Stage of Qi Refining, it might become impossible to avoid drawing attention.
Following that, Lin Jing went to the Alchemy Room and started refining The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon, holding it in his hand.
The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon was a Golden Core Magic Treasure, and as Lin Jing began the refining process, he found it to be exceedingly difficult.
If it continued like this, Lin Jing estimated that it would take at least a month to successfully refine The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon.
“It seems I can’t continue consuming Pure Energy Gathering Pills for the time being. I’ll break through to the Late Stage of Qi Refining once The Hidden
Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon is refined,” Lin Jing thought to himself.
The next day, Lin Jing tidied up and prepared to head to Yuebaolou.
Having spent all of last night continuously working on refining The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon, he looked somewhat exhausted now.
Originally, Lin Jing had planned to get a good rest today.
But in the morning, he suddenly remembered that today was the day to collect alchemy ingredients.
So, Lin Jing had no choice but to go to Yuebaolou to pick up the elixirs.
Now, aside from the initial three months where he collected 300 sets of ingredients each month,
Over these two months, he could only collect 200 portions of alchemy ingredients per month, but the quantity of elixir medicine he was required to submit had not changed.
Moreover, there had been a slight increase in the quality requirements.
This was Elder Bai’s way of tempering him.
However, these 200 portions of materials were more than enough for Lin Jing’s use.
And not just that, because of the System Space’s existence, he could save nearly half of the materials after each alchemy task was completed.
However, he had stored up most of these materials, waiting to sell a large quantity of elixir medicine after refining The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon.
With the materials saved over these months, plus those previously planted in Lin Jing’s spirit field, there were definitely at least 1200 portions.
Arriving at Yuebaolou, Lin Jing sought out Elder Yu first.
“Lin boy, why do you look so pale today?” Elder Yu asked with concern.
“I made an extra two batches of elixirs yesterday and came straight here without rest, Elder Yu needn’t worry,” Lin Jing replied.
“Hmm… ”
“Even in alchemy, there should be a process of gradual progression, remember to pay more attention in the future, don’t let alchemy affect your cultivation,” Elder Yu said, nodding his head.
“By the way…”
Elder Yu suddenly spoke up, asking,
“A few months ago, I noticed your cultivation was at the fifth level of Qi
Refinement, but today I see you’ve already reached the sixth level.” “Did you use elixir medicine to advance?”
“Not to hide from Elder Yu, indeed I took some,” Lin Jing nodded and said.
“Yes, I thought so.”
“I’m telling you, you cannot take too much elixir medicine. Be more cautious in the future. Cultivation isn’t something that can be achieved overnight. It’s okay to be slow, but you have to be steady.”
“Don’t worry, Elder Yu, I know my own limits,” Lin Jing said.
“You know best,” replied Elder Yu with a nod.
“Then Elder Yu, I will go get the materials,” Lin Jing said.
“Yes, go ahead.”
Afterward, Lin Jing walked through Yuebaolou to the backyard.
On the way, he greeted several Offering Priests and Pill Masters.
Ever since his return from Drunken Immortal Pavilion, these people’s attitudes toward him had improved significantly.
Lin Jing knew the reason, but just as before, he nodded in response and didn’t engage in further conversation with them.
This, however, caused some people’s dissatisfaction, thinking that he was relying on his connections and did not regard them highly.
Listening to these rumors, Lin Jing could only feel helpless because he had always been this way, and nothing had changed.
The only thing that had changed was them.
After collecting the materials, Lin Jing ran into two acquaintances.
Yu Yan and the Pill Master with the surname Ma.
“Lin Daoyou, you’ve come to collect materials as well, ” the Pill Master named Wang spoke up first.
Yu Yan also cupped his fist and said, “Lin Daoyou.”
“Hmm.”
Lin Jing responded with a word, then cupped his fist to the two and said, “Gentlemen, I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be going now.”
“Heh… Lin Daoyou is as busy as ever,” the Pill Master named Wang replied with an awkward smile.
“Yes, there are some…” Lin Jing replied.
“I’m burdened with heavy alchemy tasks, so I will take my leave.”
After speaking, Lin Jing bypassed the two and walked out.
Seeing Lin Jing walk away, the expression of the Pill Master named Wang changed instantly, and he spat out.
“Tch…
“Putting on airs, he’s just a First-Grade Pill Master. He’s just relying on his connections, that’s all.”
Meanwhile, Yu Yan, standing beside him, looked at the Pill Master named Wang with a complex expression and gently shook his head..
