Chapter 821: Chapter 365: The Frenzied Elixir Alliance Hierarch_2 Chapter 821: Chapter 365: The Frenzied Elixir Alliance Hierarch_2 “I never thought that today, I would still encounter someone from the Lin Family.”

Having spoken, the Alliance Hierarch of the Elixir Alliance took out a purple token emanating a special aura from his person, and then with a wave of his hand, the purple token flew to Lin Jing.

Next, the Alliance Hierarch spoke:

“Take this token.”

“With this token, you will have much convenience within the Elixir Alliance.

If you need to find me, this token can be used.”

Lin Jing looked at the token, was stunned for a moment, and then looked towards the Alliance Hierarch.

The Alliance Hierarch looked at Lin Jing and then spoke:

“Accept it.”

“Initially, I couldn’t locate Feiling; I’ve felt guilty about it.

Now that I have encountered his descendant, I should naturally take extra care of you.”

Lin Jing nodded and then said,

“Thank you, elder…”

After speaking, Lin Jing took the token that was in front of him.

After receiving the token, Lin Jing pondered for a moment and then said,

“Elder…”

“The ancestor Feiling, he has actually been found.”

Upon hearing this, the Alliance Hierarch immediately looked up, eagerly asking Lin Jing:

“Where is Feiling?”

Lin Jing spoke:

“Ancestor Feiling was deceived by a friend and accidentally fell into Immortal Crossing Island.

At Immortal Crossing Island, he perished together with his foe.”

Upon hearing this, the Alliance Hierarch suddenly became absent-minded, murmuring:

“Deceived by a friend, Immortal Crossing Island…”

After a long moment, the Alliance Hierarch looked disheartened and said,

“I understand…”

…

...

Just as the Alliance Hierarch finished speaking, a presence approached from a distance, rapidly closing in on this location.

A moment later, an old man with disheveled hair but clean and tidy robes arrived.

After arriving, the old man directly addressed the Alliance Hierarch:

“Hierarch, what do you need me for this time?”

“I was busy on my end, then I received your message.”

Seeing the old man arrive, the Alliance Hierarch came back to his senses, composed himself, and then said to the old man:

“Elder Qi…”

“These two individuals have just joined our Elixir Alliance.

From now on, they will follow you; take them for the assessment first.”

Hearing the Alliance Hierarch say this, Elder Qi immediately frowned, seemingly very reluctant.

Then, he directly addressed the Alliance Hierarch:

“Wait, Hierarch.”

“The Alchemy Conference hasn’t started yet, so why are you placing them here now?”

“Moreover…”

“I’ve always been busy, as you well know.

My hands are full with the elixir recipe, and I’m at a critical moment; I really can’t spare a single moment.

“For them to follow me, I really don’t have the time to teach them.

Just like that last girl you sent to me, I am still letting her farm.”

The Alliance Hierarch looked at Elder Qi, seemingly helpless, sighed, and then explained:

“Ah…

“Elder Qi, surely you know the state of our alliance.

Under every other elder, there are at least several people.”

“You alone have only one girl, and you’ve left her to her own devices for a long time.

The others already have complaints.”

“These two seats were previously assigned by Elder Bai.

Now that Elder Bai is not here, I’ve temporarily placed them under your care.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Qi immediately looked at Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei, observing them closely, and then, puzzled, he spoke:

“Grand Elder?”

Having said this, he turned back to the Alliance Hierarch and continued:

“Even if they were granted seats by the Grand Elder, if you place them under my care, I truly don’t have the time to teach them.”

The Alliance Hierarch then spoke to Elder Qi:

“You need not worry about teaching them.”

“They come from the Changyun Clan and have their own Alchemy Dao heritage; they really don’t need your instruction.

Only guide them a little when they encounter some difficult problems, that’s all.”

“It won’t take much of your time.”

“Changyun Clan…”

Elder Qi turned again to face Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei, and after scrutinizing them both,

having looked them over, Elder Qi returned his gaze to the Alliance Hierarch, saying:

“Their cultivation is quite decent, but are they really from the Changyun Clan?”

“Do you really not need me to teach?”

After being asked twice, a slight twitch formed at the corner of the Elixir Alliance Hierarch’s mouth…

In the Eastern Spirit Realm, the reputation of the Elixir Alliance was extraordinary.

Besides its long-standing neutrality, the most important aspect was that once someone successfully joined the Elixir Alliance, they would receive selfless instruction from the seniors within the alliance.

The path of the Alchemy Dao is not easy.

Apart from those who either have a master or are from Alchemy Dao families, there are many loose cultivators who have taken this path.

There’s no need to talk about those with a master or family background, as they naturally don’t need to worry with someone to guide them.

But there are many loose cultivators who have chosen this path, among whom many are exceptionally talented but have taken many wrong turns due to lack of guidance.

The establishment of the Elixir Alliance actually provided these individuals with some opportunities.

Once able to join the Elixir Alliance, they could not only obtain numerous cultivation resources through the alliance but could even receive instruction from the seniors which could save them many detours.

Allowing them to go further on the path of the Alchemy Dao.

Therefore,

everyone who joins the Elixir Alliance is assigned a mentor who is one level higher than themselves in Alchemy Dao, to instruct and help them make quick progress.

However, Elder Qi was different.

Although one of the elders of the Elixir Alliance, he greatly favored researching elixir recipes and spirit plants and disliked interacting with people, let alone teaching disciples.

This undeniably made him an oddity among the many elders.

Facing such an elder who disliked contact and teaching, even the Elixir Alliance Hierarch felt quite helpless.

However…

Although Elder Qi seldom taught disciples, since joining the Elixir Alliance, he had studied numerous elixir recipes, making significant contributions to the alliance.

While the Elixir Alliance Hierarch was somewhat speechless when facing Elder Qi, he quickly stabilized his emotions and, with a smile, said again to Elder Qi:

“Of course…”

“Otherwise, why do you think I placed them under you?”

“I know you’re busy and don’t have time.”

“And these two, coming from the Changyun Clan, really don’t need much instruction from you.”

As he spoke, the Elixir Alliance Hierarch pointed towards Lin Jing and continued:

“Especially this one, who is already a Seventh Grade Alchemist.”

“The girl I arranged under you before, didn’t you say you didn’t have time to teach?

Why not just let him teach her on your behalf?”

“This arrangement is actually for your benefit.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Qi’s eyes lit up, and then he looked towards Lin Jing:

“This kid is a Seventh Grade Alchemist, you aren’t fooling me, are you?”

Even for the Elixir Alliance Hierarch, getting doubted again was somewhat straining.

However, as the leader of the alliance, he maintained his composure and after taking a deep breath, he patiently continued:

“Certainly…”

“They have just arrived, and will soon partake in an examination.”

“I plan to have you oversee the examination.

Whether he is a Seventh Grade Alchemist or not, won’t you know then?”

Under the persuasive guidance of the Elixir Alliance Hierarch, Elder Qi finally nodded:

“Alright…”

“We’ll do it your way.”

“I’ll take them to the examination shortly.

If they pass, then all is well; if not, I will bring them back to you for handling.”

“Alliance Hierarch.”

“Let me be upfront, even if they pass, I won’t have much time to teach them.”

“If you trouble me over this matter, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

With Elder Qi dragging his feet and repeatedly trying to shirk responsibility, even the Elixir Alliance Hierarch found it hard to contain himself.

The Elixir Alliance Hierarch fixed his gaze on Elder Qi, barely suppressing his anger as he spoke:

“Fine, should they come to me instead?”

“I have already given them my token, so if there really is any problem, let them come straight to me.”

Seeing the Elixir Alliance Hierarch in such a state, Elder Qi knew that his patience might have reached its limit; if he continued to drag this out, he might actually find himself on the receiving end of a beating.

If that were to happen, it wouldn’t be worth it.

With that thought, Elder Qi quickly became much more compliant.

He dared not look directly at the Elixir Alliance Hierarch again, but turned to Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei, saying:

“Let’s go…”

“I’ll take you to the examination now.”

With that, Elder Qi took the lead and walked out.

After Elder Qi had left, Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei bowed to the Elixir Alliance Hierarch and, following Elder Qi, also departed.

Only after they had all left did the Elixir Alliance Hierarch reveal a look of extreme frustration:

“Hisss…”

“Why did my mind go blank and I chose him?

This is just purely making things difficult for myself…”
