Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the Zhang Family Patriarch, murmuring under their breath:
“This old fox is the true master of keeping a low profile.”
Elder Bai curled his lips and continued:
“Elder Yu still has two Pure Elixirs, one Restorative Elixir and one Healing Elixir.”
“If you want them, of course, it’s not impossible…”
“Look, Elder Yu has just advanced to Golden Core, aren’t you going to offer your
congratulations?”
After finishing his sentence, Elder Bai even rubbed his hands together.
At this moment, Elder Bai bore not a hint of the demeanor of a Golden Core Immortal, but rather resembled a petty old man from the market.
“I knew it…”
“You were waiting here for this,” the Zhang Family Patriarch said with a smile.
“Alright… No problem…”
“I haven’t had the time to prepare anything now…” “How about tomorrow?”
“Of course, that’s fine…” Elder Bai nodded again and again. Afterwards…
After chatting for a while, everyone took their disciples and left.
After returning to Yuebaolou, because Elder Yu needed to go into seclusion to stabilize his cultivation,
Elder Bai reminded the two of them a few words, and Lin Jing and Huang Qingling went back first.
The next day…
When Lin Jing and Huang Qingling arrived at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, many people had already gathered.
This time…
Not only did people from various families come, but also managers of Yuebaolou, Pill Masters, Talisman Masters, and various other Offering Priests were present.
Just as Lin Jing reached the entrance, he saw two people standing on the street not far from the door of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, in conversation.
One of the figures seemed somehow familiar to Lin Jing, prompting him to slow his pace.
Meanwhile, Huang Qingling was only looking towards the inside of the Pavilion, utterly unaware that Lin Jing had slowed down.
Since they were quite close, Lin Jing heard their conversation clearly.
“This time Elder Yu of Yuebaolou has been promoted to Golden Core; many honored guests will come to celebrate. You must be careful and cautious, not to offend them in any way.”
“Also…”
“Remember to listen more, speak less, and make sure to greet everyone with respect, do you hear me?”
“Yes, Master, I’ve got it,” the other voice replied.
Recognizing the voice, Lin Jing felt a sense of familiarity and, glancing over, realized it was Wu Nie—the man who had lived opposite him back in Fang Market.
Wu Nie also noticed him.
“Lin Daoyou, what are you doing here?” Wu Nie asked, somewhat puzzled on spotting Lin Jing.
The other person, who had been facing away from Lin Jing, turned around and hurried over upon seeing him.
“Pill Master Lin…”
The newcomer greeted Lin Jing with a fist and palm salute; Lin Jing had seen him before and knew he was a Talisman Master and Offering Priest of Yuebaolou.
Considering that Wu Nie had mentioned finding a mentor from Yuebaolou, it must be this person.
He quickly introduced:
“This is the nephew of Immortal Yu, Pill Master Lin.”
“Elder Yu’s nephew…” Wu Nie was stunned, hardly able to believe it. ‘Why are you standing there dumbstruck? Hurry up and address him
properly…” the Talisman Master scolded.
“Lin… Pill Master Lin.’
Wu Nie was incredulous, his words almost halting.
He could not fathom how the man who was once his neighbor in Fang Market had suddenly become a nephew of a Golden Core Immortal.
“Wu Daoyou…” Lin Jing said, smiling.
Having met this person several times and exchanged a few words, they could be considered to have met by chance. He didn’t dislike him…
He had nothing to hide about his previous stay in Fang Market nor any reason to conceal it.
So…
Lin Jing forthrightly admitted:
“I was neighbors with Wu Daoyou before, you could say we’re old acquaintances. There is no need for such formality…” “So, it turns out,” Wu Nie’s master hastily said. “He is indeed fortunate…” “Lin Jing, hurry up! What are you doing over there?”
At this moment, Huang Qingling, who had already entered the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, stuck her head out and called to Lin Jing.
“Alright, coming right now…” Lin Jing replied.
Then, he turned and said to the two with a fist salute:
“Gentlemen, someone is urging me, so I’ll go ahead…”
Wu Nie’s master, the Offering Priest Talisman Master from Yuebaolou, returned the salute to Lin Jing:
“Pill Master Lin, please go ahead…”
Wu Nie also hurriedly saluted Lin Jing: “Lin Dao… Pill Master Lin, take care…”
Lin Jing could tell he was a bit at a loss.
However, Lin Jing did not say anything else and then turned to leave…
After Lin Jing left, Wu Nie stood there, staring blankly at Lin Jing’s back, muttering to himself:
“How could he be the nephew of a Golden Core Immortal…”
Wu Nie’s master, at this point, patted him on the shoulder, and Wu Nie then came to his senses.
“Stop thinking about it, you two are not destined to walk the same path…” However, Wu Nie simply lowered his head and remained silent…
Arriving at the entrance of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, Huang Qingling glanced at Wu Nie and his master, then asked Lin Jing with curiosity:
“What, do you know them?”
“I don’t recall you being close with the other Offering Priests in the Pavilion?”
“That Offering Priest’s disciple was my neighbor in the external Fang Market. I saw him today and chatted for a while,” Lin Jing responded.
“Oh, I see…” Huang Qingling suddenly realized. “Let’s go, let’s head upstairs…”
“Tan Yuyi and the others are already up there.”
Upon hearing ‘Tan Yuyi,’ Lin Jing couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
“Alright…”
After speaking, the two of them walked towards the upstairs.
When they reached the third floor of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, indeed, Li Tangyu, Li Qingqing, and Zhang Yuan were sitting together.
Upon seeing Lin Jing and Huang Qingling, Li Tangyu hurriedly motioned for them.
Also, on this third floor were several others from yesterday on the hillside.
Lin Jing even spotted Li Yao.
He and a few disciples from other families were sitting at a table by the window, seemingly discussing something.
Many people came over to greet Huang Qingling and Lin Jing as they arrived.
“Qing Ling Daoyou…”
“Lin Daoyou…”
The two of them also briefly responded before joining Li Tangyu and the others.
Huang Qingling came over and sat right next to Li Qingqing, while Lin Jing greeted a few people and then took a seat as well.
No sooner had he sat down than he heard Li Qingqing complain:
“You don’t know, my brother is just too stingy. Because of him not being willing during the last auction, I missed out on a rare and good sword manual.” “That’s just how Tan Yuyi always is…”
“Aside from alchemy, he’s uninterested in anything else. To make him spend Spirit Stones is probably asking too much.”
Huang Qingling spoke openly, holding nothing back.
Again hearing ‘Tan Yuyi,’ Li Tangyu couldn’t help but speak up:
“Sister Qing Ling, could you please change the way you address me? This ‘Tan
Yuyi’ really doesn’t sound good.”
“Okay, Tan Yuyi…”
“I got it, Tan Yuyi…”
The relentless teasing from Huang Qingling left Li Tangyu with a headache, but he had no other recourse.
This made Li Qingqing at his side giggle non-stop. And she forgot all about her complaints.
“What sword manual?”
Huang Qingling became interested at this point and asked..
