Xiao Shi finished speaking his summary in a high-pitched voice, which gave Lin Jingge goosebumps.

Judging from the other person's appearance, it seems they don't know Chu Wang yet.

What kind of karma did Lin Jingge create? She was the first to encounter almost all of the male lead's harem members. And to make matters worse, nothing good ever came of it.

For a moment, Lin Jingge didn't know where to begin her rant.

Old Qin, whose reaction was similar to Lin Jingge's, was also disgusted by the other party's words.

"Who says a weapon refiner has to be a weapon refiner?!" Old Qin shouted, interrupting the other's incessant chatter: "In the past, weapon refining and array formations and talismans were inseparable! The three complemented each other, but it's only now that things have become like this!"

"I was planning to take her as my disciple today anyway. If it weren't for you, she would have already completed the apprenticeship ceremony!" Old Qin said, pointing at Lin Jingge. Then, he seemed to realize that he hadn't asked Lin Jingge's opinion: "Don't you think so?!"

He asked a question, and as for the answer, he didn't even need to think about it; he knew the other party would definitely say yes. He was a renowned array master on the Cloud Cauldron Continent, and everyone was eager to become his disciple.

“No, I don’t want to…” Lin Jingge said expressionlessly.

"See, I told you..." Old Qin's lips were already parted in a smile when he heard Lin Jingge's reply, but it took him a second to realize what she meant.

"What did you say?" Old Qin was incredulous. How could anyone refuse him?!

"I said I don't want to learn formations." After saying that, Lin Jingge felt that it was a bit hurtful, so she softened her tone: "What I mean is that I only love weapon crafting, and I really have no interest in learning formations as well."

"What's so great about learning weapon crafting? I saw you inscribing the array just now, and you did it all in one go. Don't waste your talent. I'll give you another chance to reconsider!" Old Qin put away his joking tone and became serious.

Lin Jingge shook her head again.

She really enjoys weapon crafting, and even though there aren't any specific rules for it right now, she has no intention of changing careers.

As for what kind of formation it was, Lin Jingge had no idea; she was just rigidly following the instructions in the book, which was like an "instruction manual."

Su Ru stared at Lin Jingge for several moments, as if trying to memorize her, her gaze almost murderous.

Lin Jingge felt as if she were being targeted by a venomous snake, and her refusal became even more resolute.

Seeing this, Old Qin was somewhat disappointed. But such things cannot be forced.

For reasons unknown, he took out a plaque and handed it to Lin Jingge.

"This is the recruitment plaque for all students on the Cloud Cauldron Continent. With it, you're considered half a student. Keep it." Old Qin truly valued talent, which is why he gave away such a plaque.

Lin Jingge had seen this sign before; it was the identity token issued when Yunding Continent came to recruit people.

Her piece, however, turned to ashes after she fell from the ring.

After handing the items to Lin Jin, Old Qin left.

Seeing that Elder Qin had left, Su Ru quickly chased after him.

Lin Jingge looked at the sign in her hand and sighed inwardly.

She looked at the token in her hand with a complicated expression. What she had tried so hard to obtain before, she had now obtained with ease.

"Hmm, which student are you planning to join?" A question interrupted Lin Jingge's thoughts.

Lin Jingge then realized that the vendors next door hadn't left yet.

Seeing that the other person was staring at him without saying anything, the vendor thought that Lin Jingge had not understood.

He then pointed to the token in Lin Jin's hand: "I have this too. I'm planning to go to the South Courtyard. Where are you planning to go?"

[The students of Yunding Continent are divided into four academies: East, South, West, and North, each located in a corresponding direction on the continent. There is also the Yunding Sect, located in the center of the continent.] Xiao Shi quickly gave Lin Jingge a brief explanation.

Lin Jingge had a plan in mind. She glanced down at the token in her hand and replied, "I don't know which academy to go to. I haven't decided whether to go or not."

"If you like weapon crafting, you can go to Yunding Sect. Yunding Sect's weapon crafting is one of the best on our continent. The weapon crafting elder is the number one weapon crafter in Yunding. You can give it a try."

Clearly, the vendor knew a lot about the college.

"So you want to go to the South Academy because you like alchemy?" Lin Jingge asked.

The street vendor rarely talked about his hobbies with others, but when he heard Lin Jingge say this, he got excited, casually put down the muddy, messy things his men were planning to collect, and then told Lin Jingge about his dreams.

"I want to become a great alchemist like Senior Su Ning!" the vendor said.

Humans seem insignificant in the face of dreams, yet they shine brightly when they are mentioned.

Although Lin Jingge didn't know who Su Ning was, she still nodded as if to show respect for the other party's dream.

[Isn't it said that alchemists are very rich, and can become wealthy by simply refining a pill? How come this kid looks so poor?] Xiao Shi muttered to himself.

Lin Jingge glanced at it, signaling it to tone it down.

Xiao Shi wagged its tail in dissatisfaction at Lin Jingge's warning look, then jumped off Lin Jingge's back. It lost its balance and landed right in the muddy spiritual plants that the vendor hadn't had time to pack up.

Xiao Shi was first stunned, then shocked, and finally overjoyed.

[Ahhh, Gege, Fireflower! It's Fireflower! We've struck it rich! It's come to us so easily!] Xiao Shi exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Jingge was immediately drawn to Xiao Shi's words.

Lin Jingge knew almost all the spiritual plants needed to refine the Life-Generating Pill by heart. Upon hearing the words "Fire-Generating Flower," Lin Jingge instantly realized what it meant.

Without Xiao Shi needing to say anything more, she immediately looked at the stall vendor with fervor.

“I’ll buy all of these.” Lin Jingge pointed to the remaining spiritual plants on the other party’s property.

The vendors arrived in a hurry and hadn't washed the plants, so no one could see that they were all covered in mud.

How many spirit stones do you need?

"No need for spirit stones, it's nothing valuable, you can take it."

The vendor ultimately did not accept the spirit stones.

Lin Jingge felt somewhat helpless and could only put the spirit stones away.

The first thing I did after parting ways with the vendor was to wash all the things I had in my hands.

After washing it clean, I discovered that there was only one pearl inside, and the others were just other varieties that looked similar.

Lin Jingge was somewhat disappointed. She took the box and placed it next to where Grandma Lin was lying.

Lin Jingge glanced at Granny Lin's appearance and whispered, "Granny, don't worry, I'll bring you back to life soon."

Lin Jingge entered and exited the space in less than two minutes, and quickly left.
