Chapter 31: Unparalleled Beauty

Lin Jing once again entered the System Space and bustled about all evening before finally filling the Spirit Field with Spirit Plants. These Spirit Plants, unlike Spirit Rice, mature in half a year.

However, they mature quite rapidly.

But, the longer the age of the Spirit Plants, the better the effects of the Elixir Medicine refined from them.

Especially the main ingredient for the Energy Gathering Pill, Three-Leaf Spirit Grass, the older it is, the easier it is to refine high-quality Energy Gathering Pills.

If there is enough Spiritual Energy, the Three-Leaf Spirit Grass can even evolve again, growing into Five-Leaf Spirit Grass.

Five-Leaf Spirit Grass is extraordinary, as it is the main ingredient for refining the Second Rank Elixir, Gathering Yuan Pill.

By planting them in advance now, when the System Space upgrades and the concentration of Spiritual Energy increases again, these Three-Leaf Spirit Grasses are highly likely to evolve into Five-Leaf Spirit Grass.

By then, Lin Jing’s Alchemy skills should also have reached the Second Rank. Having these Five -Leaf Spirit Grasses, he can start refining Gathering Yuan Pills directly.

Of course, even if they don’t evolve into Five-Leaf Spirit Grass by then, it won’t matter.

With these Three-Leaf Spirit Grasses, he can continue to refine Energy Gathering Pills and sell them, earning a good amount of Spirit Stones.

Time flew by, and soon it was New Year’s Eve.

Just past noon, Lin Jing left the house.

Even though Demonic Beasts were causing trouble, the Fang Market was still full of New Year spirit, with crowded bustling streets, hawkers calls rising and falling one after another, and everyone dressed up and smiling.

It was as if the Demonic Beast uprising had never happened.

Perhaps this was the difference between the inside and the outskirts of the Fang Market.

Lin Jing bought some gifts and headed towards Yuebaolou.

With New Year’s almost upon them, he planned to visit Elder Yu, who had been good to him and had also helped him in the past.

Also, Lin Jing intended to ask Elder Yu about the Black Market Token.

In Lin Jing’s view, Elder Yu should know how to use the Token.

When he arrived at Yuebaolou, Elder Yu wasn’t there.

After some inquiries, Lin Jing learned that Elder Yu had already left Nanshan Market some time ago and was not expected to return until after the New Year.

With no choice, Lin Jing had to leave.

After a stroll around the street, he specifically prepared a gift for Luo Luo and bought some food ingredients before heading home.

Close to home, Lin Jing bumped into the brothers Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin. Perhaps due to the previous incident, this time, contrary to usual, Zhang Sen didn’t take the initiative to greet Lin Jing.

The two were dressed rather disheveled, heads lowered, hurrying past Lin Jing. As they got closer, Lin Jing saw that their complexions were slightly pale, as if they had been injured.

“They’re probably being chased for debts by Qianjin Fang,” Lin Jing thought.

The reason for this suspicion was that Ning Yue had mentioned this matter a couple of days earlier.

They had accumulated a batch of gambling debts at Qianjin Fang and were currently being pursued for payment.

Though they looked miserable now, Lin Jing had no sympathy for them; still gambling despite being in such a dire situation.

They had brought this upon themselves.

Lin Jing didn’t return to his own courtyard but went to Ning Yue’s front door instead.

“Knock knock knock”

Lin Jing knocked on Ning Yue’s courtyard gate.

Then he heard Luo Luo’s voice coming from inside the yard.

“Is that Uncle Lin?”

“It’s me, Luo Luo, open the door,” Lin Jing called out.

Soon, the door was opened by Luo Luo, and behind her stood Wei Zhengqing.

“Brother Wei.”

Lin Jing greeted with clasped hands.

Wei Zhengqing nodded and responded with clasped hands, “Brother Lin.”

Luo Luo immediately came over and grabbed Lin Jing’s hand, saying happily:

“Uncle Lin, you’ve finally come.”

“Mhm,” Lin Jing said as he patted Luo Luo’s head.

Then he handed over the puppet that he was holding in his other hand.

“Luo Luo, here, this is a gift for you.”

“Thank you, Uncle Lin,” Luo Luo took the puppet, her face brightening with joy.

“Uncle Lin, come in, this is your first time at our house, right?”

Luo Luo said, pulling Lin Jing toward the courtyard.

At this moment, Ning Yue also walked out from the kitchen and greeted Lin Jing before getting back to her busy tasks.

Seeing this, Lin Jing also went to the kitchen to help, while Wei Zhengqing, who could not cook, could only play with Luo Luo.

The bustle lasted for most of the day, and it quickly got dark outside as the households lit their lamps.

By now, everyone was seated at the table, which was covered with a feast of delicious food, making Luo Luo’s mouth water almost to the point of drooling.

It was then that Ning Yue spoke up:

“Brother Zhengqing, Lin Daoyou,”

“Please wait a moment, I’ll go and dress up.”

Wei Zhengqing nodded his head.

Lin Jing, on the other hand, was somewhat baffled. She looked fine as she was, so why did she need to dress up?

Although he was curious, he did not voice his questions, instead nodding in response.

After all, that was a woman’s private matter, and it would be rude to ask.

It was then that Luo Luo came over to Lin Jing’s side, tugging on his sleeve.

Lin Jing looked down at Luo Luo.

“Don’t be shocked later…”

Luo Luo whispered, as if she had a secret.

As Lin Jing pondered this, he saw Luo Luo wink mischievously.

He suddenly remembered.

Luo Luo had mentioned before that her mother was actually very beautiful.

“Could it be…”

After a while, Ning Yue, having dressed and made up, walked out slowly.

Seeing Ning Yue, Lin Jing was stunned on the spot.

He saw her eyes shining like bright moons, her face clear and beautiful, and her demeanor exceedingly charming, with a pure white long dress that perfectly outlined her figure…

She was truly a peerless beauty.

For so long, Lin Jing had never seen anyone who could compare to her.

“Ning Daoyou?

Lin Jing couldn’t be sure and asked with a hint of doubt.

Ning Yue’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she nodded.

“I apologize for not daring to show my true face due to the circumstances and keeping Lin Daoyou in the dark for so long.”

Lin Jing took her in from head to toe, then waved his hand and said:

“It’s alright, in these times, for someone with your looks…”

“It’s indeed not suitable to show your true face. You’ve done the right thing.”

Lin Jing was being sincere. If Ning Yue had not hidden her true appearance, she probably would have been captured as a dual cultivation furnace cauldron long ago, even with her late-stage Qi refining cultivation.

And the fact that Ning Yue would reveal her true appearance in front of Lin Jing clearly showed that she had complete trust in him. She believed he would never disclose her secret.

Lin Jing, of course, understood this.

They trusted him so much, and he would certainly keep their secret.

“Uncle Lin, what do you think? I told you my mother is beautiful, right?”

Luo Luo said proudly.

“Hmm?”

“Did you already tell Uncle Lin about this before?

Ning Yue pretended to be angry.

Frightened, Luo Luo shrank her neck and secretly hid behind Lin Jing, saying softly:

“Yes.”

Ning Yue then lectured Luo Luo:

“Lucky for you, Uncle Lin is a good person.”

“Otherwise, if others knew about this, we both wouldn’t be able to run away. Do you understand?”

“Don’t ever do this again, do you hear me?”

Knowing she was at fault, Luo Luo slowly came out and hastily apologized:

“Mother, I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again.”

Seeing Luo Luo admit her mistake, Ning Yue softened her tone. “Alright, stop hiding behind Uncle Lin. Come over, let’s start our meal..”
