“`

“Thank you, Lin Daoyou.”

Ning Yue curtsied in gratitude.

“There is no need for such courtesy,” Lin Jing said, wanting to reach out and raise her, but suddenly recalling the difference in their genders, his hand halted midair.

He then quickly recovered.

“Ning Daoyou, I also have a matter to request.”

Ning Yue stood up and replied, “Please speak, Daoyou.”

Lin Jing took out the Alchemy manual he had obtained from Manager Li and handed it to Ning Yue, saying,

“Ning Daoyou, this manual on pill concoction was acquired by chance, but during the process of making Elixir Medicine, I discovered that this manual is not complete; it contains many errors and omissions.”

“Could you please help me see if this manual can still be pursued for study?”

“Is this the manual you are currently studying?” Ning Yue took the manual but did not open it to look through.

“Yes,” Lin Jing answered.

“The manual is the foundation that each Alchemist relies upon. Do you trust me so much?” Ning Yue looked at Lin Jing earnestly.

“Naturally, since Ning Daoyou has decided to teach me the Alchemy Technique, what use is there for me to keep this incomplete manual?”

On hearing this, Ning Yue found the reasoning sound and without further words, she started to flip through the manual.

As she turned the pages faster, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

In just the time it took to finish a cup of tea, she had looked through it completely.

“Lin Daoyou,” Ning Yue said with her brows knitted tightly.

“Please speak, Ning Daoyou. Can this manual be continued?”

Lin Jing looked at Ning Yue, waiting for her response.

“I just had a quick look, and there are countless mistakes in this Alchemy manual of Lin Daoyou’s.”

“The failure rate of your Alchemy must be quite high, I presume.”

Lin Jing nodded and said,

“Just as Ning Daoyou has said, my success rate in Alchemy is indeed low, barely one in ten.”

“In that case, Daoyou should stop practicing Alchemy for the time being. I will find time to correct this manual for you, and once you study the new manual, then you can resume Alchemy.”

“Thank you, Ning Daoyou.”

Lin Jing had been worrying about the manual, and now that Ning Yue had offered to correct it, it exactly matched his wishes; how could he possibly refuse?

So, Lin Jing quickly expressed his gratitude.

Afterward, the two walked out of the house.

Seeing them come out, Luo Luo quickly went up to greet them.

“Mother, Uncle Lin.”

Ning Yue walked over and then crouched down to straighten Luo Luo’s clothes, after which she touched Luo Luo’s head and said,

“Luo Luo, your mother will be busy for a while, so during the daytime, I’ll leave you with Uncle Lin to take care of, alright?”

Luo Luo first looked at Ning Yue, then turned to look at Lin Jing, who was smiling.

“Okay…”

“I know Mother is busy, and I will be very good staying with Uncle Lin. I definitely won’t cause any trouble for Mother.”

Luo Luo’s understanding nearly brought tears to Ning Yue’s eyes.

But if she did not go to help others with Alchemy, what else could she and her daughter rely on to survive?

Ning Yue stood up, took out a stack of books from her Storage Bag, and handed them to Lin Jing.

“Lin Daoyou, these books I have collected are some Spirit Grass and Demonic Beasts pictorials, along with various anecdotes. Luo Luo loves these books; she becomes completely engrossed in them and won’t disturb you.”

“Among them, there are also a few of my own notes on Alchemy insights. You may look at them first. When I have some free time, I will help you repair the manual.”

“Alchemy insights?”

Aren’t Alchemy insights incredibly precious to every Alchemist?

She was even willing to give her Alchemy insights; it seemed that Ning Yue truly intended to teach him.

Thereafter, Ning Yue departed.

The courtyard was left with only Lin Jing and Luo Luo.

“Now that I can’t practice Alchemy, and it’s impossible to cultivate in this place where the Spiritual Energy is so scarce…”

“Luo Luo.”

“What is it, Uncle?”

Luo Luo lifted her little face, looking up at Lin Jing.

“`

“Do you want to go out and play?” Lin Jing rubbed her little head.

“I do…”

It seemed as if she remembered the incident from yesterday, and Luo Luo hesitated.

“But I can’t worry my mother.”

“It’s fine, follow Uncle, Uncle will protect you, so naturally you won’t be afraid.”

“When we get to the street, I’ll also buy you some sugar-coated hawthorns, how does that sound?”

Now that he thought about it, since coming here, apart from exploring to understand the commerce chamber, he hadn’t really taken a good stroll through Fang Market.

With nothing pressing at the moment, it was the perfect time to go out and truly experience the customs of this different world.

“Good.”

Luo Luo happily agreed.

After all, children are naturally active and don’t like to stay in one place for a long time.

The two of them left the house together, and just as they stepped out of the courtyard, they saw the neighbor’s door across from them wide open.

Luo Luo ran over with a ‘thud thud thud’.

“Uncle Wei.”

Lin Jing quickly followed.

As they reached the entrance, the little girl peeked inside.

“Uncle Wei, are you at home?”

A moment later, a young man dressed in black clothes came out.

His eyes were icy, his expression cold; he didn’t seem very approachable.

Seeing this person emerge, Luo Luo approached and said:

“Uncle Wei, I haven’t seen you in such a long time, where have you been these days?”

“Uncle Wei had some matters to attend to and left for a while.”

The black-clothed young man looked at Luo Luo, his icy gaze tinged with a hint of gentleness.

Then he raised his head, and when he looked at Lin Jing again, his eyes were sharp and cold, as if he was appraising prey.

“Uncle Wei, this is Uncle Lin, he moved here some time ago.”

“Why are you with him?” the black-clothed young man asked, looking at Luo Luo.

“My mother has been quite busy recently, so she temporarily entrusted me to Uncle Lin’s care,” said Luo Luo.

“Uncle Lin is a really good person, he even saved Luo Luo yesterday.”

“Uncle Wei, you don’t know, but yesterday, I was in the inn…”

The little girl recounted the previous day’s events in detail to the black-clothed young man.

After listening to her story, the black-clothed young man’s gaze softened slightly as he turned back to Lin Jing.

“Wei Zhengqing, a friend of Luo Luo’s father.”

The black-clothed young man introduced himself, clearly having given his approval to the young man before him.

“Lin Jing.”

Wei Zhengqing nodded.

“Uncle Wei, we are going to browse around Fang Market, do you want to come with us?”

Wei Zhengqing shook his head and said to Luo Luo.

“Luo Luo, Uncle Wei still has things to do. You two go ahead and have fun, just remember not to be out too late, you can’t make your mother worry.”

“Mhmm, Luo Luo remembers, I won’t let Mother worry.”

Afterward, Wei Zhengqing spoke to Lin Jing.

“Brother Lin, it’s fine to wander in Fang Market, but make sure not to leave it. The Demonic Beasts’ rampage has been getting more severe, even starting to attack the outskirts of Fang Market.”

“The Demonic Beasts’ rampage hasn’t subsided yet?”

Lin Jing was surprised, having heard about the Demonic Beasts’ rampage when he first moved here.

He had thought things had been so quiet lately that the rampage had already settled down.

“Not yet, Fang Market has now started to dispatch more patrols, so for the time being there isn’t much of a problem.”

“This rampage has indeed lasted a bit longer than usual, hopefully, it will subside in a while.”

Although Wei Zhengqing said this, he wasn’t certain himself; this rampage of the Demonic Beasts was indeed peculiar.

As Wei Zhengqing still had matters to handle, the two did not stay much longer and left.

Walking on the street, it was still bustling with crowds, continuous shouts from sellers filled the air, and everyone seemed oblivious to the Demonic Beasts’ rampage—as if it had become part of their usual life.

After all, Fang Market was located right next to the Night Mist Mountain Range.
