Hearing Huang Qingling speak like this, Lin Jing finally felt relieved.
As long as no one was impersonating him, it was fine, otherwise, given Huang Qingling’s naive appearance, she would definitely be deceived into confusion.
“So how can you say that it was because of him that you were able to make a breakthrough?” Lin Jing asked Huang Qingling, puzzled.
“Of course, it’s because of the elixir medicine he concocted,” Huang Qingling said matter-of-factly.
“You don’t know…”
“The elixir medicines sold by the Elixir Valley Heir are almost sold out, not just the Pure Elixirs, but even other kinds, like Supreme, Superior, and even Medium Grade elixirs have been snatched up by people.”
Lin Jing nodded, “Yeah, I’ve heard…”
Indeed, it was true that, by using the identity of the Elixir Valley Heir and having the Pure Elixirs as a flagship,
Lin Jing’s other elixir medicines were naturally in high demand as well.
Everyone believed that even if they were the same Medium Grade elixirs, those sold by Lin Jing would be better than others.
Therefore, not only the Pure Elixirs but even the other elixir medicines had been snatched up by people.
“Let me tell you…”
Huang Qingling leaned in closer to Lin Jing and said,
“Now it’s being spread everywhere that Elixir Valley possesses the heritage of the Ancient Alchemy Path, which is why they can concoct so many Pure Elixirs.”
Lin Jing felt uneasy inside and quickly went along with Huang Qingling’s words,
“That should be the case, I’ve also heard many people say that, after all, common folks can’t come up with so many Pure Elixirs,” Lin Jing agreed.
Huang Qingling nodded and said,
“So now, some families and other powers are buying some elixirs from the Elixir Valley Heir to study.”
“They want to see what’s different about these elixirs compared to the ones they’ve concocted.”
“Aren’t all concocted elixirs the same? What’s there to study?” Lin Jing was full of confusion.
He continued,
“Besides, it’s not like I haven’t studied them before.”
Huang Qingling rolled her eyes at Lin Jing and continued,
“Of course, it’s different. Just because you can’t figure it out doesn’t mean others can’t.”
“And, I know that they’ve already figured out some clues.”
“What?”
Lin Jing was startled and suddenly sat up straight, feeling nervous inside.
“They can figure that out?”
“Hehe…” Huang Qingling chuckled slyly. “You didn’t know that, did you…”
“Hmm,” Lin Jing nodded, then quickly said,
“Come on, tell me, could it be that Old Man Bai and the others have figured something out?”
When Lin Jing had seen Elder Yu before, he knew that Elder Bai and Elder Yu also had some of his elixir medicines, but he hadn’t asked what they were for.
It turned out they were studying his elixir medicines.
Huang Qingling replied,
“You’ve got that wrong. Old Man Bai and Elder Yu aren’t skilled enough. I heard about this from Old Man Bai; it’s actually that old man from the Li Family who figured it out. ”
“Elder Master Li? What did he figure out, do you know?” Lin Jing hurriedly asked Huang Qingling.
If others could figure something out, Lin Jing wasn’t so convinced.
But Elder Master Li was different.
That old man had been immersed in the Alchemy Dao for hundreds of years and was the only Fourth -Grade Alchemist in the Fang Market, so if he said he had figured out something, it really might be possible.
“Let me tell you…”
As Huang Qingling spoke, she moved even closer to Lin Jing, and Lin Jing could even smell the faint scent coming from her.
“Old Man Bai said that Pure Elixirs are too special to research,”
“As for the other elixirs sold by the Elixir Valley Heir, Elder Master Li gained some clues from his research,”
“Elixir Valley must be a place where Spiritual Power is extremely abundant, as evident from the elixirs sold by the Elixir Valley Heir,”
“Additionally, when concocting those elixirs, the Elixir Valley Heir also used an alchemy technique passed down from ancient times,” At this point, Huang Qingling paused.
“What else?” Lin Jing asked, looking at Huang Qingling.
“That’s all. What else would there be?” Huang Qingling replied as if it was obvious.
“……” Lin Jing was speechless.
However, Lin Jing soon began to ponder deeply.
“Elder Master Li’s research is indeed correct. Firstly, a land rich in Spiritual Energy naturally refers to the System Space,”
“Next is the method of alchemy, which goes without saying, must be the Ning
Family’s Alchemy Technique handed down to me by Ning Yue,”
These two aspects can certainly be figured out by research; the rest should not differ much from what others concoct, fairly common and not really worth investigating,”
However, this matter also served as a warning to Lin Jing.
If these elixirs could be thoroughly researched, then wouldn’t those elixirs he submitted also be subject to study?
If one were to place the two kinds of elixirs together, wouldn’t the similarities between them become apparent?
But as an openly First-Grade Alchemist, the elixirs he submitted for his assignments were unlikely to catch the attention of a Fourth-Grade Alchemist.
Still, who knows if an unexpected event might occur?
At this thought, Lin Jing’s brows furrowed tightly.
“It seems that, moving forward, aside from those Pure Elixirs, I can’t sell the other elixirs in the black market as the Elixir Valley Heir,”
In other words, from now on, he would only sell Pure Elixirs in the black market.
Moreover, Lin Jing felt that it was necessary to switch up the elixirs he was submitting.
He could no longer use alchemy techniques when concocting elixirs for Yuebaolou assignments.
Even, he should not concoct them within the System Space.
However, fortunately, as a Second-Grade Alchemist, even if Lin Jing did not use the Alchemy Room within the System Space, his success rate when concocting these elixirs was still not low, and had even surpassed 70%.
Completing alchemy tasks was still a piece of cake.
“Lin Jing, what are you thinking about?” Huang Qingling asked, tilting her head and gazing at Lin Jing.
“Oh, sorry, Dao friend Qing Ling, I was just pondering over the matters concerning the Elixir Valley Heir and got a bit distracted. My apologies…”
“It’s fine. Given that both of you are alchemists, it’s normal for you to be more thoughtful,” Huang Qingling consoled.
“Right, Dao friend Qing Ling…”
“You haven’t mentioned how exactly you made a breakthrough because of him, ” Lin Jing hurriedly asked.
“Actually, Old Man Bai bought some of the Elixir Valley Heir’s elixirs, intending for Elder Yu to research them. Elder Yu researched for several days and couldn’t figure anything out, so they eventually just fell into my hands, ”
“At that time, I was at a crucial point in my breakthrough, so I took those Supreme Elixirs he bought, and they just happened to help me make the breakthrough,” Huang Qingling said. “I see,” Lin Jing said, suddenly understanding.
“Oh yes.”
“You said when you arrived that you brought something good for me, what is it?” Lin Jing asked with a smile.
“Hehe…”
“Naturally, it’s this…”
Huang Qingling said, while pulling out a Pure Jade Box from her Storage Bag, and inside was clearly a Pure Elixir.
Moreover, that Pure Jade Box looked very familiar to Lin Jing, with the words “Elixir Valley” engraved on it.
And these two words were carved in Chinese characters, different from the script of this world.
