At this moment…

Lin Jing seemed unaffected, still refining his elixir, a sheen of sweat having already emerged on his forehead.

Lin Jing simply reached out to wipe his brow, his gaze never leaving the pill furnace.

Thus, another quarter of an hour passed.

Only then did a faint fragrance of elixir drift from Lin Jing’s pill furnace.

As time ticked away, the scent of the elixir became increasingly strong, eventually pervading the entire courtyard.

At this point…

Lin Jing’s elixir furnace medicine had reached the final stage of condensation.

This was the last, and most crucial step of the entire alchemy process.

As time passed incrementally, Lin Jing dared not be negligent, continuously monitoring the inside of the pill furnace with his divine sense, while simultaneously turning up the flame.

With the final medicinal liquid coalescing together and beginning to solidify within the pill furnace.

At last…

The elixir medicine was refined.

Lin Jing finally relaxed.

After waiting a while longer, Lin Jing opened the pill furnace.

As the pill furnace opened, the fragrance instantly wafted out, spreading all around.

Lin Jing extended his hand to retrieve the successfully refined elixir medicine from the furnace.

This batch of elixir medicine yielded a total of four pills, one superior, one medium grade, and two low-grade.

Not bad.

The results matched closely with what Lin Jing had anticipated.

In fact, Lin Jing had intentionally controlled the outcome of the pills to yield.

He needed to produce a superior pill without being too conspicuous.

Therefore, even with his rank as a Third-Grade Alchemist, this batch had been challenging to refine.

Especially considering he was outside the alchemy room, without the aid of system enhancements.

Originally…

Lin Jing had considered using the system’s enhancement feature.

But then he gave it further thought.

This assessment required only one superior elixir medicine.

If he used the enhancement feature, he would very likely produce a supreme elixir.

It might even result in a Pure Elixir.

That would be far too conspicuous.

Therefore, Lin Jing decided against using the enhancement feature.

Upon seeing the superior elixir in Lin Jing’s hand, joy unconcealably spread across Steward Cheng’s face.

He had not expected Lin Jing to actually produce a superior elixir, which eased his anxious heart immediately.

Then, Lin Jing took a small porcelain bottle out of his storage bag, placed the elixir into it, and handed it to the steward standing beside him.

The steward took the elixir and promptly walked over to Steward Zheng.

Approaching Steward Zheng, he passed the elixir to him.

Steward Zheng took the elixir, opened the porcelain bottle, poured out the pills, and scrutinized them carefully.

After a long pause.

Having examined the pills, Steward Zheng kept them and handed them back to the steward.

Following this, Steward Zheng advanced a few steps forward, turned to address everyone, and said:

“You’ve all performed well today. In this assessment. you have all passed.’

“Your abilities have been recognized by Yuebaolou. We hope to continue working closely together, and Yuebaolou will certainly not fail to reward each of you.”

“Alright, Steward Cheng and Lin Jing, the two of you stay behind; the rest may leave…”

After Steward Zheng finished speaking, the others exchanged glances and then walked out.

With everyone else gone, only Steward Zheng, Steward Cheng, and Lin Jing remained in the courtyard.

At this moment, Steward Cheng took the lead to ask:

“May I inquire, Steward Zheng, why have you asked us two to stay? What are your instructions?”

Steward Zheng looked at Steward Cheng and said:

“Steward Cheng, you’ve been in charge of collecting the elixir offerings submitted by the offering priests these past few months, haven’t you?” “Yes…” Steward Cheng nodded and responded.

“I’ve reviewed the elixirs you’ve collected, and the rest seem fine…” At this point.

Steward Zheng paused for a moment before glancing at Lin Jing and said,

“But…”

“Why are the Elixir Medicines contributed by Lin Jing so few? Can you give me an explanation?”

“As expected, this is Steward Zheng’s real purpose…”

Lin Jing thought to himself.

“To respond to Steward Zheng…”

Steward Cheng bowed with his hands in front and then replied:

“The number of Elixir Medicines that Lin Jing contributes was set by Elder Bai previously at thirty per month, without any mistake…”

Steward Zheng, with a stern face, said,

“Elder Bails arrangement was from several months ago, wasn’t it?”

“Yes…” Steward Cheng replied. “Very well…”

Steward Zheng spoke again,

“I do not know for what reason Elder Bai previously allowed Lin Jing to contribute only thirty Elixir Medicines, but now I am in charge of Yuebaolou at Nanshan Market…”

“So we’ll have to go by my rules.”

After speaking, Steward Zheng’s entire demeanor surged with authority as he looked directly at Steward Cheng:

“Starting this month, Lin Jing, like all other Offering Priests, must contribute fifty Second Rank Elixir Medicines each month.”

“And out of these fifty, at least ten must be of a Superior grade.”

“During my tenure, no one, regardless of who they are, is allowed to be treated specially. ”

“Did you understand?”

After listening, Steward Cheng frowned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak again, he was interrupted by Lin Jing.

“I agree…”

Lin Jing spoke.

Steward Cheng looked at Lin Jing and then reminded him: “Lin Jing, that’s ten Superior Elixir Medicines…”

“I know…

“Steward Cheng, you can rest assured.”

Lin Jing spoke reassuringly.

Steward Zheng nodded and looked at Lin Jing saying,

“I have seen the Elixir Medicines you’ve made, they are no worse than those of the others. For a Second-Grade Alchemist, producing fifty in a month is not a very difficult task.”

“If you truly can’t produce them, then you don’t deserve to be an Offering Priest of my Yuebaolou.”

“I don’t care about the relationship you had with Elder Bai before, but during my time in charge, everyone is the same, everything depends on one’s own strength…”

“Do you understand?”

“Understood…”

“Steward Zheng, rest assured, there will not be one less than fifty Elixir Medicines when the time comes,” Lin Jing nodded and said.

“Hmm… ”

Steward Zheng nodded in approval and then arranged some matters with Steward Cheng before leaving the place.

After Steward Zheng left, only Lin Jing and Steward Cheng were left.

Steward Cheng then said,

“Lin Jing, can you really do it?”

“Producing ten Superior Elixir Medicines in a month is not easy…”

“Don’t worry, Steward Cheng…”

Lin Jing spoke, then half-jokingly added,

“If not, I can have Li Tangyu help me produce a few Superior Elixir Medicines, wouldn’t it be a light task for him to make ten Superior ones?”

“Right, why didn’t I think of that…”

Steward Cheng slapped his forehead and exclaimed.

“The Elixir Medicines to be contributed weren’t specified to be produced by the Pill Master themselves.”

“Li Tangyu is now a Third-Grade Alchemist, wouldn’t making these Second

Rank Elixir Medicines be a breeze for him ?”

After speaking, Steward Cheng then reminded,

“However, even so, you can’t keep troubling him…”

“Don’t worry, I have a sense of measure, and I won’t bother him until it’s absolutely necessary,” Lin Jing assured.

“That’s good then…” “Alright, let’s go too…”

“Okay…”

Having said that, the two of them too left the Alchemy Room..
