Chapter 22 Ning Yue's Shock

"Flawless"

Lin Jing cried out in excitement.

Unfortunately, this was within the System Space, where no one could hear him, nor share in his joy.

Lin Jing's expression was exhilarated, his heart pounded uncontrollably, and due to the overwhelming excitement, his hands trembled incessantly.

"Whew..."

He exhaled a breath of turbid air, trying to stabilize his emotions.

However, from the continuous trembling of his hands, it seemed to have little effect.

He carefully approached the pill furnace and reached out to lift the lid.

A radiant Elixir Medicine caught his eye, and the fragrance that filled the alchemy room emanated from this very pill.

Lin Jing picked up the Elixir Medicine and held it in his hand.

A flawless Energy Gathering Pill, significantly larger than the other pills in the same furnace, after all, it was the fusion of two Supreme Elixirs.

The brilliance flowed over the Elixir Medicine, semi-translucent in form, allowing a clear view of the mist-like energy continuously flowing inside it.

This flawless Elixir Medicine could be sold for a few hundred Spirit Stones, worth hundreds of times more than ordinary ones, and even tens of times pricier compared to Supreme Elixirs.

A dream for many Alchemists.

"If Elder Yu and Ning Yue knew that I only took such a short time to refine a flawless Elixir Medicine,"

"they would be so shocked they'd pop their eyes out."

Lin Jing couldn't help but think excitedly.

This Elixir Medicine, Lin Jing decided to consume it directly.

Although its value was precious, his current self was not suitable to reveal it; if he did, it would likely bring countless troubles, even possibly disasters.

With that thought, he'd rather consume it himself.

He first collected one Superior and two Medium Grade Energy Gathering Pills from the same furnace.

Lin Jing took the flawless Energy Gathering Pill and placed it directly into his mouth.

Upon entering the mouth, the Elixir Medicine immediately dissolved, a sensation of floating like an immortal instantly spread throughout Lin Jing's body, almost causing his Soul Spirit to be lost.

Lin Jing quickly became alert and hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique to digest the medicinal power.

......

After an unknown time, the majestic Spiritual Power within Lin Jing's body had been completely absorbed, transformed into his own Cultivation.

Feeling the Cultivation within his body, it had grown considerably compared to before.

"System."

Lin Jing called out the system to check his current status.

"Open the system panel."

System Space (Level 2)

Remaining Time: 32 hours 33 minutes (Accumulative: 200 hours)

Host: Lin Jing

Spirit Field Size: 20 acres

Spiritual Energy Density: 2

Flow of Time Speed: 2

Daily Entry Time: 4 hours

Required for Upgrade: (34/500 Harvest Points)

Special Functions: Alert (Upon entering System Space, it will include the host's nearby real world in the alert zone, ready to notify the host of any emergencies.)

Observation: (The host can observe the real world from within System Space.)(Note: The host's perspective will sync with the external world's time during observation.)

Time Cumulative: (Remaining entry time each day will not reset but can be accumulated.)

Noticing his accumulated time was only left at 32 hours, Lin Jing was stunned.

He had nearly 80 hours accumulated before; he hadn't realized he had used this much during this period.

After thinking, Lin Jing then realized that all the time was not wasted. Just this one flawless Elixir Medicine could make up for his losses during this time.

Moreover, how else did he want to enhance his Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root?

Aside from consuming elixirs, there was no other way.

Following that, Lin Jing opened his panel information.

Lin Jing (23/90)

Spiritual Root: Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root (Low Grade)

Cultivation: Qi Refinement Second Layer (32%)

Cultivation Technique: Qingyuan Dao Method (first layer), Qingyuan Sword Control Technique (beginner), Controlling Fire Technique (proficient)

Sub-Occupation: First-grade Alchemist (382/3000)

Lin Jing remembered that his previous cultivation was only at 12%, but this one Flawless Energy Gathering Pill had directly increased his cultivation by 20%.

A single Energy Gathering Pill was equivalent to a few months of his arduous cultivation.

Lin Jing couldn't help but laugh and cry, as the few months of his painstaking effort couldn't even match the effect of a single elixir.

But thinking about it, it was a Flawless Energy Gathering Pill, merging the essence of two Supreme Energy Gathering Pills. How could its effect be anything but excellent?

Moreover,

Lin Jing also saw that his Controlling Fire Technique had reached a proficient level.

All of these were the fruits of his recent alchemy endeavors.

"Phew..."

"Let's continue. If another Flawless Elixir comes out, that would be even better."

Lin Jing continued refining elixirs.

One furnace

Two furnaces

Three furnaces

......

That night, Lin Jing refined a total of five furnace loads of elixirs.

Unfortunately, there was no Flawless Elixir this time. Only one was of Supreme Grade, and the rest were Medium and Superior Grades.

Lin Jing planned to sell some of these elixirs.

However, to make the process of selling them smoother and less suspicious,

Lin Jing decided to gradually show some 'talent in the Alchemy Dao'.

After all, it didn't make sense for someone just starting with alchemy to be able to refine Supreme-grade medicinal pills. It was simply too illogical.

Especially since he had already managed to refine a Flawless Elixir.

This situation could only be explained by the system being too indefensible.

Therefore, he needed to keep those Supreme Grade elixirs hidden for a while and not sell them yet.

Since he needed to 'show his talent',

he would start with Ning Yue.

The next day, after Ning Yue returned,

after the three of them had finished eating, Lin Jing brought out the elixirs.

"Ning Daoyou, these are what I refined yesterday. What do you think?"

This time, Lin Jing took out one Superior Grade, two Medium Grades, and two Low-grade Energy Gathering Pills.

"Superior-grade Energy Gathering Pill!!!"

Ning Yue exclaimed.

It had not been long since he started, and Lin Jing had already managed to refine a superior-grade Energy Gathering Pill.

"These were refined last night?"

Ning Yue found it hard to believe, as she was quite aware of what Lin Jing's skill level had been at the start.

However, holding the Energy Gathering Pills in her hand, she couldn't help but believe them. As an alchemist, she could clearly discern the state of the pills.

Indeed, they had been refined not long ago.

"However, it was just luck to refine one, I only managed to refine this one superior grade out of three furnaces yesterday," Lin Jing replied.

"Only one superior grade, and yet..."

Ning Yue couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She was born into a family of alchemists, had been learning the Alchemy Technique since childhood, and it had taken her several years of study to refine her first superior-grade medicinal pill.

"I'm still grateful for the comprehensive advice from Ning Daoyou, otherwise I'd still be blowing up furnaces daily."

Lin Jing said this with utmost sincerity, and indeed, that was the case.

"The failures before were due to the Pill Scripture, not your fault."

"To be honest, your talent in alchemy is really good, to say it's the best I've encountered wouldn't be an exaggeration,"

At this point, Ning Yue looked earnestly at Lin Jing and said,

"Lin Daoyou, remember not to overly display your talent, especially in front of unfamiliar people."
