Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space-Chapter 858 - 383: Inner Sea Affairs Concluded, Alchemy Conference Begins

Not long after, Elder Qi came looking.

Following that, Lin Jing accompanied Elder Qi to meet Elder Bai.

Elder Bai, being a Grand Elder of the Elixir Alliance, usually stayed in his own cave dwelling unless there was some business.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

But now, with the Alchemy Conference about to commence, even Elder Bai, as the Grand Elder, was much busier than usual.

Therefore, to meet Elder Bai, one could no longer go to his cave dwelling.

Lin Jing followed Elder Qi back to the Inner City.

Later, on the top floor of a tower-like building within the Elixir Alliance’s Inner City, they met Elder Bai.

Elder Bai, with hair and beard all white, wore flowing white robes, giving him an almost ethereal aura that seemed to lift him above the mundane world.

However, his aged features were hard to conceal, adding a sense of twilight years to his otherworldly demeanor.

Elder Bai, the ancestral patriarch of the Lin Family, and the patriarch of the Changyun Clan were all contemporaries and good friends with a close relationship.

The patriarch of the Changyun Clan had previously, due to his short remaining lifespan, intended to forcefully act to kill Ye Mingyi using his last years.

It was the ancestor of the Lin Family who had advised against it, causing the Changyun Clan’s patriarch to change his mind.

In the end, it was Lin Jing who had crafted a Flawless grade Longevity Life-Extension Elixir that temporarily resolved the lifespan crisis of the Changyun Clan’s patriarch.

Since Elder Bai was from the same era, it was likely that his remaining lifespan was not much either, which explained his aged appearance.

Upon seeing Lin Jing, Elder Bai immediately showed a warm smile, examining Lin Jing carefully:

"I’ve heard about you, you’re a child of the old Lin family..."

Lin Jing clasped his hands together and said to Elder Bai:

"Yes, Elder..."

Elder Bai looked at Lin Jing, nodding with satisfaction:

"Good... good..."

"Although Old Lin is no longer with us, as long as you are here, the Lin Family still exists, and that’s good..."

No sooner had Elder Bai finished speaking, than Lin Jing took out an unimposing looking treasure box and handed it to Elder Bai:

"Elder Bai..."

"This is from Elder Changyun for you."

Elder Bai looked curiously at the treasure box in Lin Jing’s hand, but accepted it nonetheless:

"What’s inside here?"

Taking the treasure box, Elder Bai didn’t open it right away, instead asking Lin Jing first.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing directly said:

"An Ascension Pill!"

"An Ascension Pill?" Elder Bai, upon hearing this, was immediately astonished.

Lin Jing nodded, then added:

"This was crafted by my ancestor, a failed Ascension Pill. Elder Changyun asked me to pass it on to you so that you might study it, in hopes of being able to craft a genuine Ascension Pill in the future."

Subsequently, Elder Bai opened the treasure box, and saw the half-pill emitting a rainbow glow lying inside.

At this moment, Lin Jing spoke again to Elder Bai:

"The calamity that nearly destroyed my Lin Family was because of this Ascension Pill."

"My ancestor said the reason the Ascension Pill failed was due to the lack of a certain Immortal Yuan. Only by infusing an Immortal Yuan during the crafting process could the Ascension Pill truly succeed."

"Now, this pill possesses the ability to enhance Cultivation, but it cannot help one cross the divide between the mortal and the immortal realms."

Elder Bai observed the pill in his hand for a long time before finally shifting his gaze away, then he said to Lin Jing:

"Initially..."

"When Old Lin decided to craft the Ascension Pill, I was quite skeptical, but his mind was made up and no one could dissuade him."

"Although this pill failed, I must admit, Old Lin had more foresight and strength than I..."

"All these years, I’ve been searching for a way to achieve immortality, but after so many years of searching, I found that no method could break the insurmountable divide between the mortal and immortal realms."

"Only this Ascension Pill holds a slim chance."

"It seems now, Old Lin had indeed led us on the most correct path."

"Ah..."

Elder Bai sighed, then closed the treasure box again.

Next, Elder Bai looked at Lin Jing and spoke again:

"We’ll explore the matter of this Ascension Pill further when we meet Elder Hong later. For now, let’s talk about you..."

"How have you been feeling in the Elixir Alliance lately?"

"I also heard from Elder Qi that you went to help the Shi Family with alchemy, right!"

Lin Jing nodded and replied:

"Yes, Elder Bai."

"I have just returned from alchemy work at the Shi Family."

"And during this time in the Elixir Alliance, things have been quite satisfactory."

Just as Lin Jing finished speaking, Elder Qi then said:

"Grand Elder..."

"Lin Jing was recently promoted to an Eighth Grade Alchemist; I think it might be time to arrange for his formal assessment."

Upon hearing what Elder Qi said, Elder Bai looked at Lin Jing with surprise:

"You’re already an Eighth Grade Alchemist?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing nodded:

"Yes, Elder."

"It was good luck that I advanced to the Eighth Grade not long ago."

After thinking for a moment, Elder Bai then said:

"Due to the upcoming Alchemy Conference, things will be quite busy."

"So..."

"Let’s wait until the Alchemy Conference is nearly over before conducting the assessment for an Eighth Grade Alchemist."

After finishing, Elder Bai looked at Lin Jing and asked:

"What do you think?"

Lin Jing replied:

"I will follow your decision, Elder."

Elder Bai nodded, then said to Elder Qi:

"Since Lin Jing has decided on the assessment, after you return, explain to him the details concerning the assessment."

Elder Qi nodded: "Alright..."

...

...

Not staying long with Elder Bai, the Hierarch of the Elixir Alliance soon arrived to discuss matters of the Alchemy Conference with him.
