Chapter 341: Chapter 43 Forgetful Cow 3
Lin Jing looked at Lin Jue and consoled him:
“Actually, you don’t need to worry about those two at all. After today’s incident, it’s unlikely that they will dare to seek revenge against you.”
Lin Jing didn’t mention that he had used special methods on those two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
“Moreover, in Bihai City, they wouldn’t dare do anything to you, right?”
Lin Jue nodded and said:
“Bihai City has strict rules; they wouldn’t dare to openly attack me. If they want to deal with me, they can only use other means.”
At this point, Lin Jue’s tone changed, and then he added:
“Even without them, there would be other cultivators.”
“If other Golden Core Immortals knew that I have this Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be as courteous as you, senior.”
“In the end, I still wouldn’t be able to keep it.”
“Senior, you might as well take it.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing thought for a moment, then he said:
“Alright…”
“Then I will accept this Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass, but don’t worry, I will compensate you with other things.”
“Senior, you really don’t have to…”
However, before Lin Jue could finish, Lin Jing interrupted him.
“Given how precious the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass is, I certainly have no reason to take it for nothing. There’s no need for further words…”
Having said that, Lin Jing abruptly changed the subject, pointing at another wooden box under the Spirit-Quelling Box and asked:
“What is this?”
Lin Jue replied:
“This is the Lin Family Elixir Method!”
“I lied to you earlier, senior. What I practice is indeed this Lin Family Elixir Method.”
Lin Jue’s words surprised Lin Jing.
This was the Lin Family Elixir Method?
Lin Jing looked at Lin Jue, puzzled, and asked:
“Is this Lin Family Elixir Method so secret? Why are you telling me all this?”
Lin Jue then explained: “Previously, when senior inquired about matters regarding the Lin Family, I knew that senior held no ill will towards the Lin Family.”
“Moreover, senior has helped me several times. Although I do not know the reason, I am aware that surely, senior would not harm me.”
After listening to Lin Jue’s explanation, Lin Jing looked at him, not sure what to say.
“May I take a look?”
Lin Jing pointed to the wooden box and asked Lin Jue.
“Of course…” Lin Jue said, pushing the wooden box towards Lin Jing.
Lin Jing took the wooden box and immediately opened it.
Inside the box, a somewhat ancient-looking book was placed, with ‘Lin Family Elixir Method’ written in four big, black characters on it.
“It’s actually a book, not a jade slip.”
Lin Jing frowned slightly and thought to himself, then picked up the book and began to read it carefully.
After advancing to the Golden Core Stage, Lin Jing’s Divine Sense had greatly strengthened, which also sped up the process of reading the book significantly.
He only took less than a quarter of an hour to finish reading the entire Elixir Method.
At this time,
Lin Jing also understood what this so-called ‘Lin Family Elixir Method’ was—this method was essentially not the ‘Lin Family Alchemy Dao’ he held, but rather seemed to be a small part of an Elixir Method derived from the Alchemy Dao of the Lin Family.
It simply couldn’t be compared with the Lin Family Alchemy Dao.
Not to mention, the miraculous methods of the Ancient Alchemy Path that could increase the chance of creating Pure Elixir Medicines.
Those methods were not even mentioned in this Elixir Method.
Furthermore, this Elixir Method was incomplete; it was an unfinished method.
After looking through the Lin Family Elixir Method, Lin Jing put it back into the wooden box.
Then he asked Lin Jue:
“Is this Lin Family Elixir Method the Lin Family’s ancestral Elixir Method?”
Lin Jue shook his head and said:
“The Lin Family’s ancestral Elixir Method has long been lost.”
“This Elixir Method, according to my grandfather, was compiled by the surviving members of the Lin Family after its destruction, based on their own memories. That’s how it has been passed down.”
“Moreover, this Elixir Method is incomplete, and it is even inferior to some ordinary complete Elixir Methods.”
Lin Jing nodded and replied:
“Just now, when I was reading this Elixir Method, I also noticed this issue.”
“However, with this method, at least you shouldn’t have any problems when refining First Rank and Second Rank Elixir Medicines.”
After speaking, Lin Jing looked at Lin Jue, who was at the peak of Qi Refinement.
At his age, this was actually quite good.
Afterwards,
Lin Jing reached into his Storage Bag, searching for something.
After a short while, Lin Jing took out two Pure Foundation Building Elixirs from the Storage Bag.
He also took out a Defensive Magical Treasure and a top-quality Flying Sword Magic Artifact.
All these items, added together, were quite valuable, enough to match the value of that Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass.
These were all obtained from the Wu Cai Immortal and the Zhang Family Patriarch.
Now, as a Golden Core Cultivator,
that top-quality Magic Artifact was completely useless to Lin Jing, as was that Defensive Magical Treasure.
Even though it was a Magical Treasure used by Golden Core Cultivators, in terms of defensive capabilities, it was not necessarily better than Lin Jing’s Overlord Divine Physique.
To Lin Jing, they were superfluous to the point of being useless.
Moreover, if Lin Jing wanted to use it, he would have to go through a process of refining it before it could be used.
Such a hassle, Lin Jing naturally wouldn’t bother with it.
It was better to simply give them to Lin Jue.
Although these treasures were of little use to Lin Jing, to Lin Jue, who was just at the peak of Qi Refinement,
they were extremely precious.
After that, Lin Jing put all these items into a Storage Bag, then took out a thousand Midium Grade Spirit Stones and placed them into it as well.
He then put the Lin Family Elixir Method back into its box, closed the box, and pushed the Storage Bag, along with the box, back in front of Lin Jue.
He, on the other hand, took the Spirit-Quelling Box containing the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass and stored it away.
After storing the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass, Lin Jing said to Lin Jue:
“I’ll use the items in that Storage Bag to compensate you for this Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass.”
Lin Jue first looked towards Lin Jing with a puzzled expression, but under Lin Jing’s gesture, he extended his Divine Sense into the Storage Bag.
As soon as he probed it, he immediately withdrew.
“Senior…this…this…”
Lin Jue was utterly shocked at this moment, to the extent that he had lost the ability to speak.
It was simply because the items inside were far too precious for him.
“Accept them. I have said that after accepting your Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass, I would compensate you in another way.”
“But…but this is too valuable…” Lin Jue was somewhat overwhelmed at the moment.
“The Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass is the main ingredient for refining Yellow Dragon Elixir. Its rarity and value are naturally higher than other third-rank Spirit Plants.”
“Moreover, your Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass was so intact that it has saved me a lot of effort.”
Lin Jing meant this of course during the planting in the System Space.
With a complete root system, Lin Jing could directly plant the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass in the System Space without needing to use Harvest Points for repairs.
For Lin Jing, this saved yet another sum of Harvest Points, which was quite satisfactory.
In the end,
after Lin Jing’s persuasion, Lin Jue eventually put the Storage Bag away.
After that, Lin Jing did not linger at Lin Jue’s place and soon left after making small talk.
After Lin Jing had gone,
Lin Jue, who saw Lin Jing off, clutched the corner of his robe tightly and watched his departing figure, lost in thought.
Clearly, his heart was not at ease.
……
After leaving Lin Jue’s place, Lin Jing walked straight in the direction he had come from.
He had come out in the late morning, but by the time he was returning, evening was approaching.
Lin Jing walked out of the ‘slums’ in the southwestern corner of Bihai City and onto the spacious street.
Then, he followed the street north.
He just didn’t know whether Yan Wanfei had finished discussing the matter with the other two.
Just as Lin Jing was passing by the Fang Market again along the street,
suddenly a familiar voice reached his ears.
“Brother Lin, where have you been? You’ve given me quite the search…”
Lin Jing turned his head towards the direction the voice came from.
He saw a burly man, looking excitedly, walking towards him.
This big man was none other than Yan Wanfei.
Soon after, Yan Wanfei approached Lin Jing and said,
“Brother Lin, let’s go…”
“I’ll take you to meet Lu Youjiu and the others, we’ve already discussed it and we want to invite you to join us on this task.”
Lin Jing, upon hearing this, was instantly baffled:
“What business do I have in this?”
Yan Wanfei nodded and then said,
“Aren’t you in need of an Earthflame Marrow Crystal?”
“I mentioned before that my friend has an Earthflame Marrow Crystal, and that crystal belongs to San He. I also mentioned to him the matter of you needing an Earthflame Marrow Crystal.”
“In the end, after our discussion, we decided to have you join us in completing this task, and once it’s done, he will gift you the Earthflame Marrow Crystal.”
“I just was not sure if you’d be willing, so they asked me to come find you…”
After listening to Yan Wanfei, Lin Jing frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked Yan Wanfei:
“May I know what exactly is this task about?”
Yan Wanfei glanced around and then said,
“This place is crowded and complicated, let’s first go to meet Lu Youjiu and the others, after meeting them, they will explain everything clearly to you.”
After hearing what Yan Wanfei said, Lin Jing considered it for a moment.
Although he did not know much about Holaw Three Rivers, through the interactions over the past few days,
Lin Jing had gained a general understanding. He trusted both Yan Wanfei and Lu Youjiu to some extent.
They probably would not harm him.
If there were any issues with the task, he could simply refuse at that time.
With this thought, Lin Jing nodded and said,
“Alright…”
Saying no more, he left the Fang Market with Yan Wanfei.
……
Following Yan Wanfei, they continued northward along the street, and the two of them returned to the incredibly bustling main street of Bihai City.
When they passed the alley leading to the small courtyard, Lin Jing was extremely surprised and quickly called out to Yan Wanfei, who had continued walking forward:
“Daoist Yan, going back to the courtyard should take this alley, you’ve passed it…”
Yan Wanfei turned around, looked towards Lin Jing standing at the entrance of the courtyard, then slapped his forehead and exclaimed,
“Oh no… look at my brains, forgetting again…”
“Lu Youjiu and San He are not in the courtyard, they’re waiting for us at Yingxian Residence ahead.”
Lin Jing was speechless; this seemed not to be the first time.
Last time, he even got a beating from Lu Youjiu because of this.
“Daoist Yan, you…”
Lin Jing wanted to say something, then thought better of it and let it go.
Yan Wanfei then said to Lin Jing,
“I know what Brother Lin wants to say, this is actually one of the characteristics of our Green Illusion Demon Ox Clan, being broad-minded and often forgetting minor details.”
“No wonder, I misunderstood Daoist Yan…”
Hearing Yan Wanfei’s explanation, Lin Jing then understood what was going on.
“No problem, no problem…”
Yan Wanfei then smiled and said.
After speaking, Yan Wanfei further reassured Lin Jing,
“Brother Lin, rest assured, I definitely won’t forget anything particularly important…”
Seeing the earnest look on Yan Wanfei’s face, Lin Jing couldn’t help but feel skeptical.
……
Before long, Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei arrived at Yingxian Residence.
No sooner had they arrived than from an open window on the third floor above, a familiar voice came:
“Niu San, Lin Daoyou…”
The two looked up to see Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers, leaning against the window and looking out.
