Seeing that the white-robed elder indeed possessed exceptional alchemy skills, Lin Jue directly approached him for recruitment.
After speaking, Lin Jue pointed to Lin Jing and said:
"This is our master of Li Yan Pavilion, and the true owner of Li Yan Elixir Pavilion."
At this time, Lin Jing also spoke up, asking:
"I wonder, elder, if you would be willing to stay at our Li Yan Elixir Pavilion?"
The white-robed elder, however, shook his head and said:
"Thank you both for your kind intentions, but I'm used to my freedom and prefer not to join any power."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing did not press the matter further.
Afterwards, the elder bid farewell to Lin Jing and left directly.
At this point, only the two island masters from Qianyan Island remained, standing amidst the crowd with ashen faces.
Looking at Lin Jing, they said:
"Fellow Daoist, with such actions and plans to expand the Fang Market, do you really intend to dominate all the business in the surrounding seas?"
