Chapter 437: Chapter 136 New System Feature: Instant Growth of Spirit Plants
Seeing that the white-robed elder indeed possessed exceptional alchemy skills, Lin Jue directly approached him for recruitment.
After speaking, Lin Jue pointed to Lin Jing and said:
āThis is our master of Li Yan Pavilion, and the true owner of Li Yan Elixir Pavilion.ā
At this time, Lin Jing also spoke up, asking:
āI wonder, elder, if you would be willing to stay at our Li Yan Elixir Pavilion?ā
The white-robed elder, however, shook his head and said:
āThank you both for your kind intentions, but Iām used to my freedom and prefer not to join any power.ā
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing did not press the matter further.
Afterwards, the elder bid farewell to Lin Jing and left directly.
At this point, only the two island masters from Qianyan Island remained, standing amidst the crowd with ashen faces.
Looking at Lin Jing, they said:
āFellow Daoist, with such actions and plans to expand the Fang Market, do you really intend to dominate all the business in the surrounding seas?ā
āArenāt you afraid that Yelin Island will cause you trouble?ā
Yelin Island is the only medium-sized island in the nearby waters, and its Island Master, True Lord Yelin, is a Nascent Soul Stage expert.
Before Lin Jingās Fang Market came into prominence, Yelin Island also had a market.
However, Yelin Islandās market was different from Lin Jingās Li Yan Fang Market.
This was because the market on Yelin Island didnāt welcome low-level cultivators.
Those who entered the market were mainly Golden Core Cultivators and the local Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Even local cultivators with insufficient cultivation were not allowed to enter.
It is said that True Lord Yelin did not like low-level cultivators entering his island.
Therefore, Yelin Islandās market was not large and mostly catered to the business of Golden Core Cultivators.
It is precisely for this reason that despite being open for many years, Yelin Islandās market never really took off.
Nevertheless, in the eyes of the Golden Core Cultivators, Yelin Islandās market was not bad.
Lin Jing was not worried about Yelin Island.
Because Li Yan Fang Market mostly did business with the low-level cultivators from other islands, it did not conflict with Yelin Island.
Lin Jing looked at the two men and said:
āThereās no need for concern on your part.ā
Upon hearing this, the two men huffed coldly and were about to leave directly.
However, at this moment, Lin Jue called out to them.
Lin Jue said:
āHave you two forgotten about the wager we made earlier?ā
The two of them were immediately stunned upon hearing this.
They glanced at Lin Jing and, seeing him looking at them, their faces turned extremely unsightly.
Then, one of them took out a wooden box from their Storage Bag and threw it to Lin Jue before they both leftā¦
After the two had departed, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed as well.
When Lin Jue opened the wooden box, he immediately burst into joy, then bouncing over to Lin Jingās side, he said:
āBrotherā¦ā
āI was impressive, wasnāt I.ā
Lin Jing nodded, then said:
āHmmā¦ā
āBut in the future, try to keep a low profile, donāt casually compete with others in alchemy, be careful not to expose yourself.ā
Lin Jue replied:
āDonāt worry, brotherā¦ā
āIf those two hadnāt been too overbearing today, I wouldnāt have agreed to their request for an alchemy competition.ā
āMoreover, the wager they offered was enticing.ā
With that, Lin Jue presented the wooden box to Lin Jing as if offering a treasure, and then said with a smile:
āBrother, open it and seeā¦ā
Lin Jing picked up the wooden box, opened it directly, and saw that it contained the last Spirit PlantāMoonflow Pure Heart Fruitāthat he needed for concocting the Nirvana Elixir.
And it was a Moonflow Pure Heart Fruit with its root intact,
which could be planted in the System Space.
No wonder Lin Jue had agreed to their challenge; it was for this Spirit Plant.
Lin Jing then looked at Lin Jue and asked:
āWas it because of this that you decided to compete with them?ā
Lin Jue replied:
āOf course, didnāt you say before, brother, that with this last Spirit Plant, you could concoct the Nirvana Elixir? Now that theyāve delivered it to our doorstep, thereās no reason not to take it.ā
Lin Jing looked at Lin Jue and said:
āYou did well this timeā¦ā
āBut next time you encounter such a situation, still be careful and not so reckless.ā
Upon hearing this, Lin Jue pouted, showing her dissatisfaction:
āBrotherā¦ā
āI won the Spirit Plant for you, and all you do is criticize me, not even mentioning any rewardā¦ā
Lin Jing then smiled slightly and said:
āYou have done all this, there definitely will be a reward. Since Iām not too busy these days, I will take you all for a trip to Bihai City.ā
āWeāll also buy a few Magical Treasures and Cultivation Techniques for you, as both your Magical Treasures and Cultivation Techniques really do need an upgradeā¦ā
Upon hearing this, Lin Jue was immediately overjoyed and said:
āThank you, brotherā¦ā
ā¦
After that, the group followed Lin Jing back to the forbidden area in the northern part of Li Yan Island.
Having just passed through the Formation and speaking to Ye Yun, Lin Jue couldnāt wait to switch back to her original identity.
While they were having a good conversation, as soon as Lin Jue switched back to her original female identity, Ye Yun immediately stopped the words he was about to say.
Ye Yunās face flushed beet-red at once.
Seeing this, Lin Jue immediately stomped her feet in annoyance.
āYe Blockhead, how come after all this time, you still havenāt gotten used to my real identity?ā
With a reddened face, Ye Yun stammered:
āItās a bit⦠a bit, hard to adjust toā¦ā
Lin Jue then walked right up to Ye Yun, looked him in the eye, and asked:
āBack in Bihai City when we used to cultivate together, and even shared a room during rest, how come you were used to it then?ā
Faced with Lin Jueās relentless questioning, Ye Yun blushed even more, his face turning red all the way to the roots of his ears:
