BXBX NOVEL Chapter 83 - 83 Elder Master Li
Afterwards, Lin Jing began to furrow his brows in thought, looking for a solution.
It didn’t take long for Lin Jing to think of something, and then he slapped his forehead.
“Right, let’s do that.”
“Exit the System Space.”
With that, Lin Jing left the System Space with a smile on his lips.
Upon leaving the System Space, Lin Jing took out a piece of cooked meat from his Storage Bag, an extra portion from his cooking earlier in the afternoon.
Then, he pushed open the door and walked out.
Little Sparrow, busy in the kitchen, heard the noise and hurriedly flew out trying to escap.
“Little Sparrow…” Lin Jing called out.
At the same time, he shook the cooked meat in his hand.
The Little Sparrow that had wanted to flee stopped in its tracks at the sight of the cooked meat, its eyes widening as it transformed into a black shadow and pounced towards Lin Jing.
Lin Jing was already prepared for it. As soon as it made a move, he put the cooked meat back into the Storage Bag.
“Squee…”
Little Sparrow let out a shrill cry, clearly displeased with Lin Jing, and landed across from him with a huff.
“Don’t worry, the roast meat is for you to eat, but if you plan on snatching it, be careful, I might tell Daoist Qing Ling that you sneak out to steal every night.”
Lin Jing knew it could understand him, so he threatened.
Hearing this, the Little Sparrow kept its distance from Lin Jing.
“Let’s make a deal. As long as you don’t sneak in here anymore, I’ll show you a great place where you can eat delicious food every day.”
“Nod if you understand…”
After hearing this, the Little Sparrow nodded its head like a pecking chicken.
“Then come over here, and I’ll tell you…”
The Little Sparrow edged closer, and Lin Jing then spoke.
“In two days, Daoist Qing Ling and I will go to a wonderful place with lots of tasty things… ”
Lin Jing spun a captivating tale, and the Little Sparrow drooled with anticipation…
Seeing that he had successfully tricked the Little Sparrow, Lin Jing tossed the cooked meat to it.
The Little Sparrow dived and caught the meat, then flew away…
“Remember, the day after tomorrow…”
Lin Jing called out a reminder while the Little Sparrow flew off with the meat, disappearing from view.
On the third morning, as the sun climbed high, Lin Jing finally woke from meditation.
Checking the time, it was just about right to leave. Huang Qingling, who had agreed to come over and accompany him, strangely hadn’t shown up yet.
Lin Jing gathered his things and left the courtyard, heading towards Huang Qingling’s residence.
“Knock, knock, knock…’
Arriving at the entrance, Lin Jing knocked on Huang Qingling’s door.
Before long, the courtyard door opened. Lin Jing saw Huang Qingling looking haggard and seemingly tired.
“Daoist Qing Ling, what’s wrong with you? You seem not to have rested well,” Lin Jing said in surprise.
“It’s all because of Little Sparrow…” Huang Qingling glanced at the Black Kite on his shoulder, his eyes filled with grievances.
“For some reason, it was restless all night, preventing me from meditating peacefully, and even from resting properly.”
Lin Jing looked at Little Sparrow, which was unusually excited now, and even the gaze it cast at Lin Jing was different from before.
“Could it be because of what happened the night before last?”
Lin Jing eyed Little Sparrow, muttering to himself, but kept a calm expression and said:
“Daoist Qing Ling, we should be going.” Huang Qingling nodded and replied,
“Alright, just wait a moment, I need to get ready.”
After finishing her words, Huang Qingling went into the yard.
It wasn’t long before Huang Qingling came out again, this time dressed differently and having tidied herself up a bit.
Now, she looked much better than she had before.
Afterward, the two set off toward Yuebaolou.
Upon arrival at Yuebaolou, Elder Bai and Elder Yu were already waiting there. After the four met, they walked together toward the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
During this time, Elder Bai also noticed something was off about Huang Qingling. After asking about it, he learned it was because of Little Sparrow and decided not to say much more.
However, Elder Bai unintentionally glanced at Little Sparrow, making the initially excited pet suddenly feel like it had been doused with a bucket of cold water, quieting down significantly.
Arriving at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, Lin Jing looked up to see a five-story ancient-style building come into view. The exterior was adorned with carved dragons and phoenixes, exceptionally luxurious, and it looked extraordinary.
As the largest pavilion in Fang Market, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion naturally could not be compared with other pavilions.
Not only was it beautifully decorated, but the culinary skills of the immortal chefs inside were also unquestionably superior. Any dish that came from their hands was extraordinarily delicious.
And that wasn’t all; they could even prepare feasts that increased one’s cultivation.
This was unique in the entire Fang Market.
The group arrived at the entrance of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, where someone from the Li Family was already there to greet them.
The one leading the way was an old man with a robust spirit.
“Old Man Bai, you’ve finally arrived; you’ve made me wait quite a while. That’s it, I’ll have to make you drink as a penalty later.” The old man said to Elder Bai with a smile.
Elder Bai also went forward, sizing up the old man:
“Elder Master Li, looking quite spirited I see.”
At this point, Elder Yu turned back and whispered to Lin Jing:
“This is the backbone of the Li Family, the only Fourth Grade Pill Master in
Fang Market, Elder Master Li.”
“At the same time, he is also a Golden Core Immortal.”
Having said that, Elder Yu stepped forward to greet Elder Master Li.
“Real Person Li…’
Lin Jing and Huang Qingling followed behind, clasping their fists and saying:
“Grandfather Li…”
“Real Person Li…
“Pill Master Yu, I heard that not long ago you crafted a flawless Detoxification Elixir and even saved a descendant of the Wü Cåi,” Elder Master Li said with a smile.
“Not bad at all. It seems that your comprehension of the Alchemy Dao has greatly increased, Pill Master Yu. You’re probably not far from the Fourth Grade now. ”
“Real Person Li, you jest. On the path of Alchemy Dao, I have much to learn from Real Person Li,” said Elder Yu humbly.
Elder Master Li nodded: “Mm… Attitude is very important on the way of
Alchemy Dao…”
“I believe one day you will undoubtedly advance to become a Fourth Grade Pill Master…”
After speaking, Elder Master Li looked toward the two behind Elder Yu. “What’s wrong with niece Qingling? Why do you look so listless?
“Thank you for your concern, Elder Grandfather. I just haven’t had good rest, but it will be fine with a bit more rest, so there’s no need to trouble Elder Grandfather,” Huang Qingling spoke up.
At that moment, Elder Bai let out a sigh:
“This is because I got her a pet, and that thing has too much energy; it wore her out.”
“Are you talking about that Black Kite?”
Elder Master Li looked toward the obediently perched Little Sparrow on Huang Qingling’s shoulder.
“Of course, if I knew it would be such trouble, I wouldn’t have kept it in the first place,” Elder Bai said, his eyes full of satisfaction as he looked at Little Sparrow, betraying no hint of regret.
Seeing Elder Bai like this, Elder Master Li couldn’t help but twist his mouth:
“Old Man Bai, don’t pretend to be regretful after taking advantage. When you first subdued that Black Kite, you didn’t hold back from showing it off to us..”
