Next, Lin Jing moved to the center of the alchemy room.
Then, from his Storage Bag, he took out the Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace.
Knowing there was an assessment today, Lin Jing had taken the Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace out of the System Space in advance and placed it inside the Storage Bag.
Elder Bai was taken aback by the sight of the Fire Meteor Four-Pattern
Furnace, and then he turned his head to look at Elder Yu beside him and said,
“Isn’t that your Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace?”
“You gave him that pill furnace?”
Elder Yu nodded and said,
“Yes!”
“Didn’t I just get a new pill furnace last time? Since I don’t need this one anymore, keeping it would be a waste, so it’s better to give it to him.”
“You… really are…”
Elder Bai shook his head and didn’t say anything more.
As for his old colleague who had followed him for many years, he was at a loss for words.
After setting up the Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace, Lin Jing first processed the alchemy ingredients, then took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
It was his first time doing alchemy with an audience; it was impossible not to be nervous.
Once he had calmed down, Lin Jing followed the alchemy procedure he always used, step by step…
Not until he had placed all the ingredients into the furnace and started sealing it for alchemy…
By this time, Lin Jing had completely immersed himself, as if he could not feel the presence of others at all, his mind fully focused on the pill furnace.
He carefully controlled the flames, while his Divine Sense observed the activities inside the furnace.
“Watching his handling of the ingredients earlier, he seemed very skillful; looks like he has done it many times…”
Elder Bai whispered, watching Lin Jing.
“Hmm… indeed…”
Elder Yu nodded in response.
For Elder Yu, this was no surprise, as Lin Jing often visited Yuebaolou and he had witnessed his growth all along.
A quarter of an hour…
Two auarters of an hour…
Lin Jing remained fully focused and careful in controlling the flames.
Soon, half an hour passed, and it was now a critical moment for the Elixir Medicine to solidify. Lin Jing cautiously extended his Divine Sense, observing the situation within the furnace.
At that moment…
“Bang”
The door of the alchemy room was fiercely slammed open, making a loud noise.
The working Lin Jing was also distracted by this noise, his Divine Sense faltered and directly touched the Elixir Medicine that was condensing inside the furnace.
At this crucial moment, the Elixir Medicine should not have been disturbed.
This disturbance was a recipe for disaster…
“Bang”
Another loud sound came, this time from inside the furnace.
Lin Jing had caused the furnace to explode…
Following that…
“Screech…’
A sharp cry sounded, and a dark figure suddenly rushed towards Lin Jing.
Elder Bai and Elder Yu had been too engrossed in watching and, since they were in Yuebaolou’s own alchemy room, had let their guard down.
The loud noise brought them back to their senses.
Seeing the dark figure charging at Lin Jing, both men’s faces changed dramatically.
Lin Jing felt the same.
“Black Kite!!!”
Upon recognizing the dark figure, Lin Jing’s face went pale, and he involuntarily exclaimed.
However, due to the earlier explosion, he was dizzy and slow to react, so he could only watch helplessly as the Black Kite pounced towards him.
Elder Bai reacted the fastest. Seeing that he couldn’t stop the Black Kite at this point, he waved his hand, sending a gust of wind that knocked the Black Kite to the ground.
His other hand flashed with white light, ready to cast a spell.
“Little Sparrow…”
A crisp call came through.
After hearing the call, the Black Kite rolled up from the ground and quickly flew out, eventually landing on the shoulder of a young girl standing at the door of the alchemy room.
Elder Bai saw this and immediately stopped his spellcraft, and the white light on his hand vanished.
Then, he and Elder Yu turned to look outside the door, to where the beautiful girl stood.
Upon seeing her, Elder Bai suddenly showed a helpless expression on his face.
“Why have you come here?”
Elder Bai was the first to speak.
“I came looking for you!”
The girl replied, her voice as pleasant as a silver bell.
Everything that had just happened was too abrupt, and Lin Jing hadn’t even had time to react, still in a daze, when he heard an extremely pleasing voice.
Lin Jing, puzzled, looked up.
He saw standing at the doorway of the alchemy room, a stunning girl around eighteen or nineteen, with eyes like shining stars, a youthful face with a baby’s innocence, and long black hair flowing straight down.
She even had a hint of arrogant temperament about her, suggesting that her family background was likely extraordinary.
And she was even slightly more beautiful than Ning Yue.
Lin Jing just watched her, until a moment later, when the girl walked forward, Only then did Lin Jing come to his senses.
He quickly diverted his gaze and sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to meditate and recover.
The recent incident had caused his Divine Sense to be shaken, causing him some injury.
The girl walked up to Elder Bai and stopped, pointing at Lin Jing, she asked:
“Who is this?”
Elder Bai spoke with resignation, “Qing Ling, could you not give me a heads-up before you come to find me next time?”
He then explained:
“Didn’t Elder Yu tell me before that he had encountered an alchemy prodigy?” “This is the one.”
“Just now, we were assessing his alchemy level, but you suddenly showed up and startled him, causing the furnace to explode.”
“It was a critical moment for forming the elixir, and with the fuss your Black
Kite made, he must have got injured.”
The girl named Qing Ling’s face turned slightly red, and she said apologetically:
“Old Man Bai, maybe there’s no need for an assessment.”
It seemed that Elder Bai also felt helpless towards the girl. He sighed and said:
“Let’s see how it goes first, if his injuries are serious we will skip the assessment and consider it as him having passed.”
After saying this, he looked again at the Black Kite on the girl’s shoulder, questioning:
“What’s wrong with it today? This is the first time it has attacked anyone since it was tamed.”
“I’m not sure either.”
The girl turned her head to look at the Black Kite on her shoulder, which was fixating on Lin Jing.
Both of them saw that the Black Kite really seemed to hold some grudge against Lin Jing.
Although the Black Kite had been tamed, because its realm was too low, it couldn’t communicate with humans.
It seemed that they would have to wait until Lin Jing’s injuries had healed before they could ask him.
Lin Jing had only suffered from the shock to his Divine Sense due to the explosion of the elixir, and his body was mostly unharmed, so he quickly regulated himself and recovered.
A quarter hour later, Lin Jing slowly recovered consciousness and looked at the few people in front of him.
“How do you feel?”
Seeing Lin Jing awake, Elder Yu quickly approached, asking with concern.
Lin Jing looked at Elder Yu, concern apparent in his eyes, and responded:
“Don’t worry, Elder Yu, it’s just a bit of Divine Sense shock, nothing serious.”
“I have already regulated it.”
At that moment,
Elder Bai and the girl named Qing Ling also came forward.
Elder Bai glanced at Lin Jing, then turned his head to look once again at the
Black Kite in the girl’s arms, still glaring at Lin Jing, and asked with curiosity:
“Do you have a feud with this Black Kite? Why does it attack the moment it sees you?”
Lin Jing also looked toward the girl’s arms, where the Black Kite was intently staring at him, as if ready to attack at any moment.
But fortunately, the girl held it tightly, preventing it from leaving her embrace.
Lin Jing carefully observed for a while, then asked Elder Bai:
“Elder Bai, is this Black Kite the one that invaded Fang Market a few days ago?”
