Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space
Chapter 105: Celebrating the Festival
"Elder Yu, if I remember correctly, the Lifespan Extension Pill should be a Fourth Order Elixir Medicine, right?" Lin Jing looked up, addressing Elder Yu.
Elder Yu nodded and replied, "Yes, indeed it is a Fourth Order Elixir Medicine."
"At this auction, the most valuable item is this Lifespan Extension Pill."
"If the ownership of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit is the result of deliberations among the families within the Fang Market, then this Superior Lifespan Extension Pill, being the only one, will probably make the major families desperate to obtain it."
After scrutinizing the item list, Lin Jing immediately handed it to Huang Qingling.
He then turned to Elder Yu and asked:
"Elder Yu..."
"You mentioned before that you could take me to the auction venue, but is the venue not even accessible to us, the Offering Priests of Yuebaolou?"
Elder Yu took a sip of his drink, then said, "This auction is no ordinary event."
"Didn't you see the items on that list? Each one is exceptionally rare, most of them necessary for Golden Core Immortals and their families."
"Hmm..."
"Indeed so."
Lin Jing recollected the items on the auction list and nodded.
"If one were to speak of it, this auction could actually be considered a top-tier event."
"So..."
"This auction is essentially not open to the public, unless you belong to one of the major families, or have some connections within the Fang Market..."
"Otherwise, if you have items to auction yourself, then naturally you can enter the venue."
"No wonder..."
Lin Jing came to a realization and continued to ask:
"Elder Yu, you previously said that the auction would start in half a month, but now that the list of auction items has been released, could it be that the auction is starting earlier?"
"Not so fast..." Elder Yu shook his head.
"More auction items will be delivered in the coming days. This list only contains the initially scheduled items, and it's far from complete."
"The auction date has been set and will commence in ten days."
By then, Huang Qingling had finished reading and closed the list, addressing Lin Jing:
"I want to go too, Lin Jing. Why don't you come with us, and we can check out the auction together?"
After pondering for a moment, Lin Jing shook his head:
"I'd rather not go. You all go ahead."
"What's wrong? Don't you want to see it?" asked Elder Yu, puzzled.
"Exactly, let's go together. With me there, what are you afraid of?" Huang Qingling spoke with hands on her hips, the very embodiment of fearlessness.
"Besides, an auction of this caliber is not a common occurrence. Sometimes it can take more than a decade to see one."
After Elder Yu finished speaking, he paused for a moment before continuing:
"It's actually not just because of the auction itself..."
He looked at Lin Jing with a serious expression and said:
"Living here in the Fang Market, we have to deal with the various families sooner or later, especially since you're an Alchemist—it's absolutely necessary."
"My intention in bringing you to the auction is also for you to get acquainted with the younger generation of those families in advance."
Lin Jing first frowned, then sighed helplessly and said to Elder Yu:
"Elder Yu, to be honest with you..."
"I have some personal conflict with the Wu Cai Immortal's descendant, that is, Liu Yiyuan from the Liu Clan."
"What exactly happened? You rarely go out; how did you manage to provoke him?" asked Elder Yu, his brows furrowing.
"Did he bully you? I'll take care of him for you," Huang Qingling stood up indignantly, ready to take action.
Huang Qingling already disliked Liu Yiyuan, and before even understanding the situation, wanted to stand up for Lin Jing.
In her opinion, Lin Jing, a Junior Cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refinement, simply couldn't have been the one to provoke Liu Yiyuan, who was at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment. It must have been Liu Yiyuan, taking advantage of his higher cultivation, bullying Lin Jing.
"It's not like that."
"Qing Ling, please sit down first. I'll explain it to you slowly," Lin Jing said.
After hearing this, Huang Qingling also sat down and then said, "If he's bullying you, you can't hide it from me. I'll stand up for you."
"Tell us, what's going on? How did you come to have a grudge with him?" Elder Yu spoke at this time.
However, from his serious expression, it was evident that the issue wasn't so easy to deal with.
"This matter goes back to the time when the Flame Poison Centipede caused chaos in Fang Market..."
Elder Yu and Huang Qingling pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
It didn't take long, and soon he got to the key part of the story...
......
"But just then, Liu Yiyuan flew towards us, and all we could do was try to evade, but we couldn't match his speed..."
......
"But next, who would have thought he'd actually grab Luo Luo and throw her towards the Flame Poison Centipede..."
At this point, Huang Qingling suddenly stood up with a swoosh, slammed the table, and angrily said,
"This bastard, how shameless..."
"Luo Luo, isn't that the little girl you brought to see me before?" Elder Yu asked.
"Yes, Elder Yu, that's her," Lin Jing replied.
"Such a cute little girl, and he could bear to harm her, this Liu Yiyuan..." Elder Yu frowned deeply.
"Sigh..." Having said this, Elder Yu sighed again.
"If only I had known, I wouldn't have helped him with alchemy no matter what. I didn't expect to have helped a scourge."
"Elder Yu, you didn't know at the time, it's not your fault."
"Besides, he's a descendant of Wu Cai Immortal, and with Wu Cai Immortal's invitation, it was difficult for you to refuse, wasn't it?"
"What happened next..." Huang Qingling hurriedly asked.
"How is Luo Luo now..."
"After Liu Yiyuan threw Luo Luo towards the Flame Poison Centipede, Luo Luo's mother didn't care for anything else and rushed straight towards Luo Luo..."
"Didn't you say she only had the cultivation of the Late Stage Qi Refining? Charging like that towards the Flame Poison Centipede, wasn't she putting herself in danger too?" Huang Qingling said with concern.
"Yes, Late Stage Qi Refining..." Lin Jing spoke slowly, once again recalling the scene from that day.
"Keep going..." Elder Yu's brow furrowed tighter.
"Hmm..." Lin Jing responded and then continued with the story.
When Lin Jing finished telling the story, Huang Qingling was even more enthusiastic, clapping in approval.
"He really got what he deserved... bitten by the Flame Poison Variant."
"And you, actually daring to chase after him, I really admire you," Huang Qingling said, patting Lin Jing's shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you get even, and give him trouble."
"Qing Ling..." Elder Yu called out to Huang Qingling.
"You can't get involved in this. After all, Liu Yiyuan has Wu Cai Immortal behind him, and if you cause trouble without a good reason, it won't be justified in front of Elder Bai."
"So we just let him get away with it?" Huang Qingling said indignantly.
Lin Jing quickly tried to calm Huang Qingling:
"Friend Qing Ling, it's really not necessary. After all, I didn't lose out in that incident; in fact, he was the one at a disadvantage."
"The reason I don't want to see him is also to avoid causing Elder Yu and Elder Bai too much trouble."
