Looking at the two, Lin Jing couldn’t help chuckling and crying at the same time.

“Alright, alright…”

Lin Jing quickly intervened, worried that Luo Luo’s bottom might soon get smacked if this continued.

“Yesterday, I sold some elixir medicine and bought some Superior Spirit Rice, so today we can try it together.”

“Yay!”

“Thank you, Uncle Lin.”

After speaking, Luo Luo immediately ran into the courtyard.

“Lin Daoyou, the price of Superior Spirit Rice is so high nowadays, isn’t that a bit wasteful?”

Ning Yue was somewhat worried, fearing that Lin Jing was being extravagant, especially since alchemists tend to spend a lot of Spirit Stones in the early days.

Lin Jing was well-prepared for such concerns.

“Ning Daoyou, take a look inside.”

With that, Lin Jing took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over.

Ning Yue took the bottle, and as soon as she opened the stopper, a distinct fragrance unique to elixir medicines assaulted her senses, a scent she was very familiar with.

“Supreme Elixir Medicine!! ! ”

Ning Yue’s pupils dilated as she cried out in surprise.

She hadn’t expected that Lin Jing would be able to produce Supreme Elixir Medicine so quickly.

Afterward, Ning Yue poured the elixirs into her hand and started to examine them closely.

The elixir medicine was smooth and free of any impurities, all the while emitting bursts of fragrance.

It was undoubtedly a Supreme Elixir.

Lin Jing scratched his head:

“Yesterday, I had the good fortune to concoct a Supreme Elixir, and I thought I’d reward myself, so I bought this Superior Spirit Rice.”

“I also have to thank Ning Daoyou. If it weren’t for your help, I would have probably given up on alchemy a long time ago.”

“You’re too modest, my friend.”

Ning Yue put the elixirs back in the bottle and handed it to Lin Jing.

Thinking about how she had spent several years in alchemy yet hadn’t achieved the results that Lin Jing had in just a few months, Ning Yue couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

“Your talent in alchemy is truly remarkable. I didn’t really help you much; it’s all down to your own efforts.”

“Besides, you’ve been taking care of Luo Luo for so long. It’s only right that I do these little things.”

Lin Jing shook his head and said, “You’re being too humble.”

“Without the help of Ning Daoyou, I would probably still be failing every day and have run out of Spirit Stones by now, let alone treat myself.”

“All of this is thanks to your contributions.”

“Mommy, Uncle Lin…”

Ning Yue was about to say more when a sudden shout interrupted her.

Seeing the two just standing at the doorway and not entering, Luo Luo quickly asked:

“What are you two doing? I’m getting hungry.”

“Mommy, didn’t you say you wanted to learn cooking from Uncle Lin?”

Luo Luo’s words made Ning Yue’s face turn slightly red, causing her to give Luo Luo a glare.

This little girl was becoming more and more cheeky.

“Lin Daoyou, look…”

“It’s no big deal, sure.”

Lin Jing agreed before Ning Yue could finish her sentence. “It’s just about lunchtime now. Ning Daoyou, let’s go together.” Saying this, Lin Jing led Ning Yue towards the kitchen.

When it comes to cooking versus alchemy,

Lin Jing felt that the difference wasn’t significant; both required control over the heat and mastery of ingredient proportions.

Compared to alchemy, in fact, cooking seemed somewhat simpler.

The reason Ning Yue couldn’t cook was because she had never focused on cooking.

Lin Jing had some understanding of Ning Yue’s background.

Ning Yue herself was the treasured pearl of an Alchemy Dao family, where she never had to worry about her basic needs.

That is until she met Luo Luo’s father and they fell in love at first sight. However, her family did not approve of their relationship.

But by that time, Ning Yue was already pregnant, so the two of them eloped to Nanshan Market together.

Things were alright before, with Luo Luo’s father around to take care of most matters, and naturally, the cooking fell on his shoulders as well.

But after an accident befell Luo Luo’s father, all the household responsibilities fell squarely on Ning Yue’s shoulders.

Not only did she have to take care of Luo Luo, but she also had to find ways to earn Spirit Stones, leaving her no time to specifically learn how to cook.

After all, in Fang Market, one could hardly move an inch without Spirit Stones.

But now things were okay, as she had earned quite a few Spirit Stones from alchemy a while ago, and she didn’t have to worry about Spirit Stones for the time being.

Moreover, ever since she had tasted the food made by Lin Jing, eating her own cooking…

Was like eating chalk and cheese, simply too hard to swallow.

No wonder even Luo Luo would come over to air her grievances.

Both of them busied themselves with the cooking, and indeed, it was much faster than when Lin Jing worked alone; in less than half an hour, the meal had already been served.

And Luo Luo had already been sitting at the table, unable to contain her impatience.

Once the three of them were seated, Luo Luo quickly picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

“So delicious…” Luo Luo mumbled unclearly.

“Luo Luo, try this one.”

Lin Jing pointed to a plate of green vegetables as he spoke.

Ning Yue felt somewhat nervous beside him because she was the one who had cooked this dish.

“Okay, Uncle Lin’s cooking is always delicious.”

As she spoke, Luo Luo picked up a piece of the vegetable and put it in her mouth.

After chewing twice, she seemed to sense something wrong; her small face scrunched up, and then with a “wah,” she spat the vegetable out. “Uncle, this isn’t made by you, is it?”

Luo Luo asked with a pained expression, looking at Lin Jing and simultaneously giving Ning Yue a sidelong glance that could not have been more obvious.

Initially, he hadn’t planned on letting Ning Yue try her hand at cooking, but after watching for a while, she wanted to give it a try.

So, Lin Jing agreed to it.

Turning to Ning Yue, her face was already beet red to the tips of her ears at this moment.

Lin Jing also felt curious; was it really that bad?

With that thought, he reached out with his chopsticks, picked up a piece of green vegetable, and put it into his mouth.

This taste…

Salty mixed with sour, and after chewing twice more, a bitter taste spread throughout his mouth, which was no wonder Luo Luo had spat it out directly.

Lin Jing looked at Ning Yue with a strange look in his eyes.

Ning Yue, feeling embarrassed, lowered her head.

Lin Jing swallowed the green vegetable in his mouth with difficulty and chuckled.

“Hehe…”

“Not bad, keep trying next time.”

“Let’s hurry up and eat before the dishes get cold.”

It seemed teaching Ning Yue how to cook was going to be quite the long and arduous journey…

After the meal, with nothing much to do, Lin Jing started discussing alchemy with Ning Yue.

Time flowed like water and slipped away in an instant.

When the two of them snapped back to reality, it was already time to have dinner.

This time, under Lin Jing’s guidance, Ning Yue stir-fried another dish, which, after being tasted by their little taste tester Luo Luo…

Received a verdict of ‘edible’.

Ning Yue rolled her eyes, but her joy was evident in her expression.

In the following days, the two of them came over often.

Each time they arrived, they would bring some chicken, fish, meat, and vegetables, clearly showing Ning Yue’s determination to learn cooking well.

During these evenings, besides practicing alchemy, Lin Jing also went out once or twice, selling some elixir medicines.

Until this day.

Lin Jing had just finished selling some Elixir Medicine and bid farewell to the Shopkeeper.

As he walked down the street, Lin Jing consistently felt something was off—he had the sense that someone was following him.

He stealthily looked back but saw nothing.

Lin Jing’s brow furrowed tightly; during this time, he had been very careful, selling Elixir Medicines in different shops every time.

Plus, the quantity sold was not large, so certainly, he should not have drawn any tailing from anyone.

As he pondered with his brows knitted, a plan suddenly sprang up in his mind.

Lin Jing’s lips curved into a smile:

“Let’s see whether it’s just my imagination or if someone is indeed following
