Chapter 839
?Chapter 839: 374 Chapter 839: 374 “I’ve already spoken to the Alliance Hierarch about this matter; the other Elders already have quite a few people under them, and it wouldn’t be right to trouble them further,”
“You three will remain under my tutelage for now, but once a new Elder appears, you will be transferred under his mentorship,”
“As for me, I am still not suited to take on disciples.
In the future, I will continue to focus on my elixir recipes,”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing immediately fell silent.
It seems…
That this must be the matter discussed between Elder Qi and the Elixir Alliance Hierarch.
At that moment,
Elder Qi looked at Lin Jing and suddenly said,
“I talked a lot with the Alliance Hierarch yesterday, and you also came up in our conversation…”
“As the Lin Family heir, with the Lin Family’s heritage, and your alchemic talent is also exceedingly exceptional,”
“Both the Alliance Hierarch and I believe that you are the most likely to advance to an Eighth-Grade Alchemist and become the ninth Elder of the Elixir Alliance,”
“The Alliance Hierarch is also very concerned about you,”
“Furthermore, I heard from the Alliance Hierarch that recently, you have been tirelessly completing Alchemy Hall missions, accumulating Contribution Points,”
“Could it be that you’ve encountered some issue?”
“If there’s anything, just tell me directly.
After all, I am still your mentor.
If it’s within my power, I will help you resolve it,”
Lin Jing was silent for a moment, and then he spoke:
“To be frank with you, Master…”
“Actually, I’ve had a premonition recently that I should be close to making a breakthrough to an Eighth-Grade Alchemist,”
Lin Jing didn’t reveal that he was already an Eighth-Grade Alchemist, as his advance to Eighth-Grade was achieved with the help of System Space, and he had not yet concocted any Eighth-Grade Elixir Medicines.
Such a matter, if spoken aloud, would be far too astonishing.
Therefore, it was best to keep it to himself for the time being.
Upon hearing this, Elder Qi’s lips immediately turned up in a smile,
“Just as we thought…”
“We weren’t wrong.”
Then, Lin Jing continued:
“And the reason I’ve been accumulating Harvest Points is to exchange for a material in the Treasure Hall, in order to create a new Pill Furnace,”
“A Pill Furnace…”
After hearing this, Elder Qi nodded and then said,
“Indeed!”
“The one you had before is certainly no longer sufficient.
Once you advance to an Eighth-Grade Alchemist, that Pill Furnace will be thoroughly obsolete,”
“May I ask what material you plan to exchange for?”
Lin Jing replied:
“The Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal from the Treasure Hall,”
After hearing this, Elder Qi furrowed his brows in thought and then said,
“The Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal…”
“If I remember correctly, that is one of the top materials for artifact refining, requiring a substantial amount of Contribution Points to exchange,”
Lin Jing nodded in agreement and said,
“To exchange for the Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal requires three billion Contribution Points,”
After hearing this, Elder Qi looked at Lin Jing and asked again,
“How many Contribution Points have you saved up so far?”
“I’ve already accrued one point six billion; I’m not even halfway to exchanging for that Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal,” said Lin Jing.
Once Lin Jing had finished speaking, Elder Qi said,
“As your mentor, I’ve not really fulfilled my teaching responsibilities,”
“Well then…”
“The Harvest Points you’re missing—I’ll provide them for you.
This is the only thing I, as your mentor, can do for you now,”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing didn’t refuse, but promptly clasped his hands together and thanked Elder Qi,
“Thank you, Master!”
Elder Qi gave a gentle nod and then spoke again,
“Crafting a Pill Furnace is not just about one single material; do you need anything else?
I can exchange those for you too.
After all, I still have plenty of Contribution Points, enough to exchange for several types of materials,”
Lin Jing replied,
“No need, Master…”
“Most of the other materials needed for the Pill Furnace are already gathered, and for those not yet collected, I already know where to procure them.
Now I’m just missing the final material,”
“However, this last material is extremely rare, and I haven’t found it yet,”
Upon hearing this, Elder Qi asked with curiosity,
“What is this last material you lack?”
“The Void Celestial Thunder Stone!” Lin Jing said directly.
But as soon as Lin Jing spoke, Elder Qi’s brow furrowed,
“Void Celestial Thunder Stone…”
“I have heard of it, it is a kind of rare Exotic Stone that only appears in the Outer Spatial Void, indeed extremely scarce, our Elixir Alliance currently indeed does not possess it.”
Having said that…
Elder Qi looked towards Lin Jing, unable to hide his confusion, and said:
“Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal, Void Celestial Thunder Stone, these are those extremely hard to find, top-tier artifact crafting materials.”
“What exactly is the Pill Furnace you wish to craft?”
Lin Jing paused for a moment before responding:
“I do not wish to deceive you, Master, but actually, I am not crafting a Pill Furnace, but rather reforging one.”
“Our Lin Family’s Jingshun Furnace was shattered due to certain reasons a millennia ago, and I need these materials to reforge the Jingshun Furnace.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Qi suddenly understood:
“So that’s how it is…”
“The Lin Family’s Jingshun Furnace, if you wish to reforge it, naturally requires extraordinary materials.”
Just as Elder Qi finished speaking, he immediately continued, cautioning Lin Jing:
“The number of Artifact Refiners capable of repairing your Lin Family’s Jingshun Furnace is extremely few.
You must be careful not to choose the wrong person.”
Lin Jing nodded and said:
“Rest assured, Master, I understand this.”
“The one who will help me repair the Pill Furnace is none other than the Celestial Forging Elder.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Qi gave Lin Jing a meaningful look:
“It seems you had quite a lot of knowledge about this beforehand.
Since that is the case, I will not ask further.
As long as you are aware of what to do…”
“As for the Void Celestial Thunder Stone, the Elixir Alliance currently really does not have it.
I will help you keep an eye out for it, and if there is news, I will inform you.”
“Many thanks, Master!” Lin Jing said with a bow.
Elder Qi waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.
Afterward.
Elder Qi and Lin Jing talked about many things, until at last Elder Qi revealed the purpose of his visit.
It turned out that Elder Qi was about to leave to aid a friend in Alchemy.
This departure was likely to take a good while before he could return.
His visit to Lin Jing this time was to inform him of this matter, and now that he had finished, Elder Qi was ready to leave.
Then…
He took Lin Jing with him, flying towards the Inner City of the Elixir Alliance.
????0.??
The two of them first arrived at the Treasure Hall, where with Elder Qi’s help, Lin Jing successfully obtained the Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal.
Having helped Lin Jing obtain the Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal, Elder Qi did not stay any longer, leaving directly.
…
After Elder Qi’s departure, Lin Jing did not delay, immediately contacting Senior Han, and then under Senior Han’s guidance, took the Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal to the Celestial Forging Mansion.
Upon reaching the Celestial Forging Mansion, Lin Jing handed over the Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal to the Celestial Forging Elder, who was surprised to see Lin Jing had obtained it so quickly.
Lin Jing then explained to the Celestial Forging Elder, who finally understood.
Afterward, the Celestial Forging Elder told Lin Jing that he still had not located the Void Celestial Thunder Stone, and it would take some more time for him to wait.
Knowing this, Lin Jing couldn’t help feeling somewhat disappointed.
However, Lin Jing then came to terms with it.
After all, the Void Celestial Thunder Stone only appeared in the Outer Spatial Void; encountering it was incredibly unlikely, and even if one were lucky enough to find it, it would not be easy to obtain; naturally, it would not be easy to find.
If he couldn’t find it, he could only continue to wait.
…
…
Time always flies quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Elder Qi had been gone for a month.
After Elder Qi’s departure, Lin Jing’s life seemed to carry on as usual.
It’s just that he took on fewer missions.
With the Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal in hand, Lin Jing’s need for Contribution Points was not as high, taking advantage of this time, Lin Jing could indeed relax and rest a bit.
And then, he could also casually seek out information about the Void Celestial Thunder Stone.
Unfortunately…
Although Lin Jing tried all means to seek out information, so far, he had not heard anything about the Void Celestial Thunder Stone.
Until this day, when a turning point finally arrived.
Today, Lin Jing had just left the Mission Hall and returned to his dwelling, only to see a floating white light in front of it.
Lin Jing approached, walking up to the door of the dwelling; only after getting close did he realize that the aura within the white light was the same as Elder Qi’s.
It seemed that this white light was indeed from Elder Qi.
Lin Jing stepped forward, wanting to see what this white light truly was.
However, the white light, sensing Lin Jing’s approach, scattered immediately, transforming into a Divine Sense voice transmission that entered Lin Jing’s consciousness:
“Hurry to Shi Family in East Continent, there is news of the Void Celestial Thunder Stone…”
