Chapter 107: Alchemy Room Upgrade
This time, what he was refining was the Clear Accumulation Elixir.
Still following the steps he had already mastered, he prepared everything until the final sealing of the pill furnace.
Then, he began the most crucial step in the entire alchemy process, the control of the heat…
This step was very draining and also related to the ultimate success or failure of the alchemy.
Time passed bit by bit, and the materials inside the pill furnace slowly transformed into medicinal liquid, beginning to churn within the furnace.
Lin Jing carefully controlled the heat, avoiding any accidents.
Another half an hour passed, and by then the fragrance of the elixir had filled the entire room of the Alchemy Room, indicating that this round of alchemy would be successful.
At that moment, a pleasant system prompt sounded, instantly invigorating Lin Jing’s spirit.
“Ding”
“System Notification: Congratulations to the host for successfully refining a
Pure Elixir and receiving a reward: 10 Harvest Points.”
“Elixir Medicine refinement success, Alchemy proficiency +30.”
The first furnace produced a Pure Elixir, and it was a Clear Accumulation Elixir no less.
Lin Jing then opened the pill furnace and placed the Pure Accumulation Pill in a Pure Jade Box, while the other elixirs he stored in small porcelain bottles.
Today was quite lucky, with two Pure Elixirs emerging consecutively, and he had gained another 15 Harvest Points.
Lin Jing then thought that with these additional 15 Harvest Points, he should have over 480 now.
And it seems that the Alchemy Room could be upgraded once more with 500 Harvest Points.
“System, check the information of the Alchemy Room.” Following that, the Alchemy Room panel appeared before Lin Jing.
Alchemy Room: Level 2
Divine Sense strength increase: 20%
Alchemy success rate increase: (First Rank 20%), (Second Rank 10%) Elixir Medicine quality enhancement: (First Rank 20%), (Second Rank %)
Pure Elixir occurrence rate: (First Rank 20%), (Second Rank 10%)
Upgrade requirement: (486/500 Harvest Points)
Indeed, with the elixirs refined in the past few days and the two Pure Elixirs from today, he had reached 486 Harvest Points.
If he could refine three more First Rank Pure Elixirs, he would be able to upgrade the level of the Alchemy Room.
After that, Lin Jing did not continue with alchemy. Having refined the Clear Accumulation Elixir, he wasn’t feeling very well at the moment.
He needed to adjust his own condition first.
Then, Lin Jing left the System Space because refining The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon in the previous period had left him with not much time remaining for entering the System Space.
So, he had to use it sparingly.
Needing to recover, it was better to simply leave the System Space and recover as he used to do.
In the following days, Lin Jing did not step out of his house at all.
During these days, in order to be able to upgrade the level of the Alchemy Room, he refined the Clear Accumulation Elixir daily, in addition to several furnaces of First Rank Elixir Medicines.
Fortunately, his luck was not bad. Over these days, Lin Jing refined two Pure Elixirs.
And just now, he finally refined the last Pure Elixir he needed.
Now, his Harvest Points were finally over 500.
“System, upgrade the Alchemy Room.”
Lin Jing couldn’t wait, not even bothering to store the elixirs before calling out to the system to upgrade the Alchemy Room.
“Okay, master.” As the system’s voice tell, the system notification came through.
“System Notification: Alchemy Room upgrading. Please, host, temporarily leave the Alchemy Room. Once the upgrade is complete, you may re-enter.”
It seems that upgrading the Alchemy Room is similar to the last System Space upgrade; both require leaving first. It’s just that I don’t know how long it will take for the upgrade to be successful this time.
“Leave the System Space.”
Since the Alchemy Room is being upgraded, Lin Jing couldn’t perform alchemy anymore. So, he might as well leave the System Space first to meditate and recover.
Then, Lin Jing packed up the Pill Furnace and came out from the System Space.
Although the system didn’t specify, Lin Jing felt that since it was the Alchemy Room that was being upgraded, it was probably best to pack away the Pill Furnace for now.
Just as he came out and was about to sit down cross-legged to meditate and recover, he was startled awake by a series of knocks at the door.
Lin Jing got up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the room.
At this time, with the auction approaching, Elder Yu probably wouldn’t have the time to come over. Apart from Huang Qingling, there shouldn’t be anyone else visiting.
As the courtyard door opened, indeed, Huang Qingling was standing outside.
On Huang Qingling’s shoulder, the Little Sparrow, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, perched there.
Seeing Lin Jing, Little Sparrow’s eyes brightened, and it chirped in greeting.
In just a few days of absence, Little Sparrow had noticeably grown in size. It wasn’t the sort of plumpness that came from overeating but a general increase in its overall body size.
This time, Little Sparrow was much quieter and stayed on Huang Qingling’s shoulder without fidgeting.
“Qing Ling, what brings you here?” Lin Jing asked.
“Little Sparrow just finished cultivation, and I came to get it some benefits from you. You don’t mind, do you?”
Huang Qingling said with a smile in her eyes.
That smile was beautiful, and combined with her delicate features, one glance was enough to intoxicate anyone.
Perhaps because Lin Jing had seen it often, he only glanced once before shifting his gaze away.
After that, Lin Jing stepped aside, and Huang Qingling hopped excitedly inside.
Following this, Lin Jing closed the courtyard door and went in as well.
“Old Man Bai said that after Little Sparrow’s recent advancement, it has become stronger than before, and its speed has also increased.”
“Moreover, Old Man Bai also mentioned that even he would have to expend quite some effort to catch Little Sparrow now.”
Huang Qingling began to chatter to Lin Jing as soon as she arrived.
“But more importantly, it is now even more obedient. I think it deserves a reward.”
“Lin Jing, what do you think?”
“Of course, it deserves a reward…” Lin Jing said with a smile.
Next, Lin Jing reached out to pet Little Sparrow.
However, Little Sparrow dodged away. Lin Jing didn’t mind and simply retracted his hand.
Clearly, although it was very familiar with Lin Jing, Little Sparrow still had some reservations and wouldn’t let Lin Jing pet it.
“What would Little Sparrow like to eat today? I’ll cook it for you,” Lin Jing said with a smile.
Hearing Lin Jing’s offer, Little Sparrow’s eyes lit up, then it turned to look at Huang Oinclinc.
“I’ve brought the ingredients with me. Seeing how it really enjoyed eating fish last time, it won’t be too much trouble today; just make it a fish,” Huang Qingling said.
“Also, I have a Spirit Feather Chicken given to me by Old Man Bai. I hear it’s only available in Linxian City.”
“You might as well cook that too. It will be a nice treat for both of us to try something new and let Little Sparrow have a taste as well.”
“Linxian City…”
Hearing this familiar name, Lin Jing immediately thought of Ning Yue and Wei Zhengqing, wondering how they were doing now…
“Li…”
Upon hearing this, Little Sparrow flapped its wings and happily chirped, clearly understanding the implication in Huang Qingling’s words.
It seems Little Sparrow has become smarter and smarter.
After a while, Lin Jing began to get busy, and Little Sparrow and Huang Qingling started playing in the courtyard.
Preparing these ingredients was simple. In no time at all, Lin Jing had finished cooking the fish and also made a few easy side dishes.
During the meal, Huang Qingling took out a booklet.
“This is the latest auction item list. Take a look and see if there’s anything you want; I’ll bid for you,” Huang Qingling said..
