Chapter 202: Chapter 202 - 202 Lin Jing’s Method

“Brother Lin, do you really have a method?”

Li Tangyu asked.

Ning Yue beside him was also looking at Lin Jing with a puzzled gaze, yet within that look, there was a glimmer of hope.

Huang Qingling, however, wore a face filled with doubt.

“You’re not going to say, it’s about the soil you brought me…”

“Exactly…”

“If it were that simple, things would be easy…” Li Qingqing also chimed in.

“Soil?”

“What soil?”

Li Tangyu was completely clueless, not understanding what they were talking about.

“Lin Jing asked Qing Ling to bring him some soil from the Demon Race Secret Realm, claiming he wanted to use that soil for researching Spirit Plant cultivation,” Li Qingqing explained.

After hearing this, Li Tangyu couldn’t help but laugh and cry in frustration.

“Brother Lin, you think too much…”

“Your method simply won’t work. The soil from the Demon Race Secret Realm has already been collected by our Li family, and we’ve started experimenting with it.”

“The soil from that secret realm isn’t much different from that of the outside world, without any value worth researching.”

Upon hearing this, the thread of hope in Ning Yue’s eyes quietly dissipated.

But Lin Jing’s eyes gleamed with light.

“Brother Li, did you collect all the different colors of soil from inside the Demon Race Secret Realm?”

“Of course…”

“Earth-yellow, dark red, black, and even some soils mixed with light green sand were collected…”

When Lin Jing heard Li Tangyu mention that their home had black soil from the Demon Race Secret Realm, he quickly asked:

“I wonder if Brother Li could gift me some of that.”

Li Tangyu said:

“We have already studied those soils, and they are of no use now; we had planned on throwing them away.”

“Since Brother Lin likes them, I can give them all to you.”

After hearing Li Tangyu’s words, Lin Jing was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

The precious item that he desired but couldn’t obtain was considered useless and ready to be discarded by others.

“How about this, Brother Lin…”

“I will keep that soil for you, and you can come to collect it at any time.”

Lin Jing bowed with his hands clasped:

“Thank you, Brother Li…”

“You’re too polite, Brother Lin…” Li Tangyu said.

The conversation between them concluded.

The private room fell silent once more, the atmosphere becoming somewhat awkward.

Lin Jing turned his head and saw Ning Yue’s desolate eyes…

Then, slapping his forehead, he said:n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Oh dear, look at me, I got sidetracked discussing soil…”

“Apologies, Daoist Ning…”

Lin Jing quickly explained:

“The method I mentioned earlier is not about soil.”

As Lin Jing finished speaking, the other three looked at him with curiosity.

Even Ning Yue looked up.

However, there was no longer any light in his eyes.

“Brother Lin, do you truly have a method?” Li Tangyu asked skeptically.

“Have you all forgotten a place, or perhaps a person…”

“If we wish to germinate the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit, I believe only a person from that place might be able to accomplish it…”

“What place?”

“Who?”

As Lin Jing spoke with such conviction, even Huang Qingling began to wonder, her head lowered in deep thought…

Yet she couldn’t remember any place that possessed such an expert in Spirit Plant cultivation.

Seeing this, Lin Jing straightforwardly said:

“The Elixir Valley Heir, the Elixir Valley…”

After Lin Jing finished, Li Tangyu suddenly came to a realization, slapping his forehead and exclaiming:

“Right…”

“How could I forget the Elixir Valley.”

“It’s said that there are several top Pill Masters in that valley, and they are fond of researching Elixir Medicines, so they must be very knowledgeable about the Spirit Plants used in alchemy.”

“The most important thing is, they are suspected to have an inheritance from the Ancient Alchemy Path.”

“Maybe, they have some way to solve the problem of the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed not germinating.”

“Right, and there’s also Elixir Valley. I was so focused on cultivating the Spirit Plant that I forgot about Elixir Valley…”

Huang Qingling also came to this realization.

Hearing them all say this,

Ning Yue, who had already given up hope, once again saw a spark in her eyes.

“Really?”

Ning Yue asked, turning to Lin Jing.

Lin Jing nodded and said:

“Yes, besides him, I can’t think of anyone else who could resolve this issue.”

Li Tangyu also chimed in:

“Lin Brother is right…”

“If someone can solve such a problem, Elixir Valley is the most likely candidate…”

The reason for saying this…

Was because Lin Jing did indeed want to help Ning Yue.

However, he couldn’t offer help in his own identity, and the identity of the Elixir Valley Heir was perfect for this occasion.

Lin Jing had a system, and he could plant that seed in the Spirit Field when the time came to see if the Spiritual Plant Restoration Function could be used to fix it.

However…

Having not seen that seed, Lin Jing didn’t know what the issue was with it, or whether it could be fixed.

“Also…”

At this moment, Li Tangyu continued to speak, reminding:

“The Elixir Valley Heir only sells Elixir Medicines and it’s not known whether he would be willing to help you.”

“Miss Ning should definitely prepare herself for the possibility of refusal.”

“Yes, I understand…”

Ning Yue nodded her head, then asked:

“Li Daoyou…”

“Do you know where I can find this Elixir Valley Heir?”

Li Tangyu then spoke again:

“The Elixir Valley Heir only appears in the Black Market and the timing is not fixed, sometimes it’s several days, and other times it may be several months before he appears.”

“If Miss Ning plans to go, she should try to set off as early as possible.”

“And she should visit multiple times, just in case she happens to meet him.”

Ning Yue frowned slightly and said:

“I understand…”

Following that, she looked towards Lin Jing:

“Lin Daoyou, I remember you used to frequent the Black Market, I wonder if you could accompany me to find the Elixir Valley Heir there?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing was stunned in the moment.

He couldn’t help but complain internally:

“If I were to accompany you…”

“Then in this lifetime, forget about ever finding the Elixir Valley Heir.”

However, in reality, Lin Jing wore a helpless expression and let out a wry smile.

“Ning Daoyou, I would like to accompany you…

“But unfortunately, I am currently an Offering Priest and Pill Master for the Yuebaolou, with monthly Alchemy tasks that I simply cannot break away from.”

“Perhaps Brother Li could accompany you on the journey…”

And Li Tangyu readily agreed, saying that he would bring Ning Yue to the Black Market to look around…

After thanking Li Tangyu, Ning Yue became somewhat restless and wanted to inform her family’s ancestors of the news as soon as possible.

Not long after, the group left the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

After leaving the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, they unanimously decided to first head to the Li Family.

And Lin Jing was to follow Li Tangyu to collect that soil.

Together, they set off towards the Li Family.

Upon arriving at the Li Family, they went their separate ways…

Li Qingqing took Huang Qingling to her boudoir.

Meanwhile, Ning Yue went to find the Ning Family ancestor to discuss the trip to the Black Market.

Soon, only Li Tangyu and Lin Jing remained.

“Lin Brother, come with me…”

Saying that, Li Tangyu led Lin Jing towards the back courtyard of the Li Family.
