Li Tangyu also knew that it was pointless to reason with them, so he quickly changed the subject:

“Brother Lin, how is your recent progress in making second rank elixir medicines? Do you have any questions or anything that confuses you?”

Li Qingqing then eagerly spoke up:

“Yes, Brother Lin Jing…’

“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask my brother. Although he isn’t as good at cooking as you are, his alchemy skills are still very impressive…”

Upon hearing his sister’s praise, Li Tangyu immediately felt a sense of contentment.

Lin Jing clasped his fist and said:

“Thank you for your concern, Brother Li.”

“I’ve only recently become a second-grade alchemist, and so far, it’s been going well. I haven’t encountered any problems yet, but if I do, I will seek advice from Brother Li at that time.”

Two months earlier…

Lin Jing felt that the time was right, and hence he elevated his hidden cultivation to the seventh level of Qi Refinement.

At the same time…

He also revealed some of his alchemy skills, becoming a second -grade alchemist.

After all, if he continued to hide his abilities, it wouldn’t be good. Elde always been optimistic about him, believing in his talent for alchemy.

Now, after so much time had passed, it would be unreasonable for him not to advance.

Upon becoming a second-grade alchemist, he naturally became an official alchemist under the Yuebaolou, and his alchemy tasks were upgraded to making second rank elixirs.

However…

He had only been a second-grade alchemist for a short while.

Therefore, with special permission from Elder Bai, the number of elixir medicines he needed to turn in was less than others.

“Hmm, good…”

“If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to come and ask me,” said Li Tangyu.

Afterwards, the group shifted the topic again and began to talk about other things.

At one point, they even mentioned Liu Yiyuan, remarking that they hadn’t seen him for a long time and he had stopped pestering Huang Qingling.

Since the last time at the underworld market, Lin Jing had also not seen Liu Yiyuan for quite a while; he seemed to have disappeared.

Soon..

After a full meal and pleasant conversation, as night deepened, everyone bid farewell to Lin Jing and went their separate ways.

After Lin Jing saw them off…

He came back, cleaned the remaining mess on the table, put everything back in the kitchen, and then entered the System Space.

Inside the System Space, the Spirit Fields were still lush with Spirit Plants.

The last batch of Spirit Plants had already been harvested, earning another batch of Harvest Points, and the current batch had only recently been planted, with all being only seedlings.

Since third-grade Spirit Plants were hard to find, Lin Jing had to continue planting these second-grade Spirit Grasses in the space.

During this period, he had sold elixir medicines at the underworld market a few times, and had managed to save up some Spirit Stones, slowly starting to become prosperous.

However, during one visit to the underworld market, he encountered a cultivator selling a third -grade Spirit Plant that had just been picked and still had its roots.

Without any hesitation, Lin Jing purchased it.

That third -grade Spirit Plant was an auxiliary ingredient for making the Cultivation True Elixir, but it wasn’t cheap; just buying that one plant cost Lin Jing more than half of his Spirit Stones.

Nevertheless, acquiring that Spirit Plant was worth it for Lin Jing.

In the meantime, Lin Jing’s cultivation had also been steadily rising. Over four months ago, he had already crossed the ninth level of Qi Refinement, reaching the peak of Qi Refinement.

Now, his cultivation was overflowing, nearing the breakthrough point.

He entered the System Space this time to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Moreover, as soon as he had reached the peak of Qi Refinement, he started preparing the Foundation Building Elixir.

This time, for his Foundation Establishment, he directly prepared five flawless Foundation Building Elixirs. With these, even with his Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root, he should hopefully be able to break through.

Following that, Lin Jing went to the Alchemy Room.

As soon as he stepped into the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing felt that his Divine Sense had grown much stronger and become more substantial, and even the slight tipsiness from the alcohol vanished.

With the strengthening effect of the Alchemy Room on his Divine Sense, his breakthrough would be a little easier.

Upon entering the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing didn’t rush to make his breakthrough but chose to sit cross-legged first, restoring his condition.

This meditation took Lin Jing a full hour.

An hour later, Lin Jing opened his eyes, feeling that his condition had completely recovered.

Next…

He reached into his Storage Bag and pulled out five Pure Jade Boxes, which contained the Foundation Building Elixirs he had prepared.

Then, Lin Jing opened one of the Pure Jade Boxes, and instantly a fragrance filled the Alchemy Room.

Lin Jing picked up the Foundation Building Elixir inside and placed it directly into his mouth.

No sooner had the Elixir entered his mouth than it turned into a warm stream, flowing into his stomach, and then…

With a “boom”…

The vast Spiritual Power contained within the Elixir exploded within Lin Jing’s body.

Lin Jing hurriedly collected his thoughts, fully operating the Immortal Dao Five Elements Art to dissipate that huge amount of Spiritual Power.

One quarter of an hour…

Two quarters of an hour…

Time slowly passed…

Fine beads of sweat started to form on Lin Jing’s forehead.

Clearly, Lin Jing’s breakthrough was not an easy task.

After all, he had a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root, which made his breakthrough several times more difficult than others.

Especially at the critical juncture of advancing to the next realm, it was particularly tough.

If he didn’t have so many pure Foundation Building Elixirs, he might have needed decades, even a hundred years of accumulation, to have a slim chance of breakthrough.

Just like the Zhang Family Patriarch, other Golden Core Immortals were generally in their two or three hundreds of age.

Yet, he was already over five hundred years old, nearing his life’s limit, and still only at the mid Golden Core stage.

And this was with relatively good resources and luck.

The difficulty of a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root breaking through is evident.

Before long, more than two hours had passed, and Lin Jing felt he still hadn’t reached the threshold for a breakthrough.

He then opened his eyes once more.

He opened the two Pure Jade Boxes he had set aside…

This time, he directly consumed two pure Foundation Building Elixirs.

As the liquid flowed down his throat into his lower abdomen, the mighty Spiritual Power erupted once again; this time, the explosion was even more intense, and Lin Jing felt like he was almost burst by that instantaneous force.

After the explosion of Spiritual Power, Lin Jing closed his eyes and continued to refine the liquid with all his heart and effort.

Time went by slowly…

Lin Jing, fully committed to his breakthrough, finally felt the bottleneck, like a towering mountain lying before him.

At this moment, there was still a lot of Spiritual Power generated from the two pure Foundation Building Elixirs he had refined, but Lin Jing didn’t rush to challenge the bottleneck of the new realm. Instead, he continued refining…

Another hour passed, the medicinal power was completely refined, and Lin Jing operated the Immortal Dao Five Elements Art, gathering all the Spiritual Power in his body to strike at that bottleneck.

Once, without any movement…

Twice, there was some reaction…

Thrice, the bottleneck finally showed signs of loosening.

And this, was already Lin Jing’s limit, it was evident…

The Spiritual Power wasn’t enough…

This was the difficulty of breaking through with a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root; even three pure Foundation Building Elixirs hadn’t achieved a successful breakthrough.

He couldn’t help but admire the Zhang Family Patriarch, wondering how he had managed to break through in the past.

That process must have been incredibly arduous as well….
