Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Lin Jing hadn't left his home for some time and didn't know how the auction preparations were going. Actually, he was quite curious about the item list, wanting to know what new and good items had been added recently. However, since he had already mentioned that he wouldn't be attending the auction, asking Elder Yu about the item list seemed somewhat inappropriate. But just then, Huang Qingling had sent over the auction item list, which naturally delighted him. "Qing Ling, you jest..." "I can't afford the items listed here, but I am very curious to see what new and good items have been added to this auction." As he spoke, Lin Jing picked up the list, opened it, and began to browse through it. This time, indeed, there were quite a few more items. Lin Jing also noticed that there were even several cultivation techniques this time. Although these techniques seemed decent, they all had certain restrictions — either they required a matching spiritual root attribute, or they needed cultivation of three or more attributes to unleash the greatest potential of the techniques. With Lin Jing's Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root aptitude, cultivating these techniques would not be as effective as practicing the Qingyuan Sword Sect's Qingyuan Dao Method. Moreover, there were some spells. Although Lin Jing currently lacked spells, his poor spiritual root aptitude made spell cultivation doubly difficult, and it was challenging to find spells that matched well. Therefore, he could only practice attribute-less spells, such as the Sword Control Technique. However, Lin Jing was busy with alchemy daily and didn't have the energy to waste time practicing other spells. Lin Jing then shifted his gaze and continued flipping through. As he browsed, he saw a cultivation technique and instinctively wanted to skip it, but then his gaze involuntarily fixated on the introduction to the technique, and he couldn't look away. Lingyin Yu Jian Jue: This sword technique allows one to hide the spiritual power fluctuations of a flying sword, silently approaching the enemy. If used in conjunction with a formless and shadowless flying sword, the power of this technique can be maximized. The introduction was straightforward. Seeing this technique, Lin Jing thought of the Flawless Sword that had been sitting idle in his Storage Bag. The Flawless Sword and this technique complemented each other well. If he were to practice this Lingyin Yu Jian Jue, wouldn't it fill the gap in his lack of offensive capabilities? Then, if he encountered danger in the future, he wouldn't always have to rely on talismans. He just didn't know what the price of the Lingyin Yu Jian Jue would be. Just from this introduction, he couldn't tell much, and he guessed that a detailed description would only be available at the auction. Lin Jing could only note it down for now and see what it would go for. If the price wasn't too high, he would bid on it directly. There was also the Biling Flower stem that Lin Jing was determined to obtain. However, the spirit stones he had were clearly not enough to buy both items, so he still needed to earn more spirit stones through alchemy. Then, Lin Jing continued flipping through, finding even more exciting items toward the back, including several third-tier Spirit Plants, which also tempted him greatly. However, the prices of these Spirit Plants were definitely not cheap. Soon, Lin Jing finished browsing and handed the list back to Huang Qingling. Huang Qingling reached out to take it, then casually set it aside. "Lin Jing, do you know?" "A new rumor has spread through Fang Market." Huang Qingling laid down her chopsticks and looked up at Lin Jing. "What rumor?" Lin Jing also looked at Huang Qingling, curiously asking. "About the recent speculation regarding the Clear Accumulation Elixir and the Dust Cleansing Herb incidents," Huang Qingling began. "Come on, tell me, what's really going on?" Lin Jing became interested and wanted to know the full story of the matter. "Well..." "Recently, the Pure Accumulation Pill and the Dust Cleansing Herb have been bought in large quantities. It is said that this is actually for the Zhang Family Patriarch, Zhang Chenfan." "The Zhang Family Patriarch? What does he have to do with the Clear Accumulation Elixir?" Lin Jing asked. "I suppose you also know that the Zhang Family Patriarch's lifespan is nearly at its end, and he doesn't have much time left to live," Huang Qingling continued. Lin Jing nodded and said, "Yes, Elder Yu mentioned that when we were at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion before. Naturally, I am aware of it." "Then let me ask you, what is the finale item at this auction?" Huang Qingling looked at Lin Jing and asked. "If I'm not mistaken, it should be that Lifespan Extension Pill..." "You mean, it's related to the Lifespan Extension Pill." "The Zhang Family Patriarch's days are numbered, so the Zhang Family will definitely do everything they can to obtain that Lifespan Extension Pill." "Yes, it's that Lifespan Extension Pill," Huang Qingling nodded. "I wasn't aware of the reason before, but later, after asking Old Man Bai, Old Man Bai told me..." "Some families don't want the Zhang Family Patriarch to continue living, so they're creating trouble behind the scenes." Upon hearing this, Lin Jing suddenly realized. "I understand now..." "This Zhang Family Patriarch, Zhang Chenfan, as Elder Yu has mentioned..." "He himself is a legendary figure, having cultivated to the Golden Core Stage with the aptitude of a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root. In the entire Nanming Domain, he is probably the only one." "But, it is precisely because he has a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root that his path to increasing his cultivation must be incredibly difficult." "If I'm not mistaken, his cultivation can be said to be completely bolstered by Elixir Medicines." "With so many Elixir Medicines accumulated, you can imagine the Elixir Poisoning within his body, although its presence is normally not very harmful." "However, it also causes the effectiveness of the Elixir Medicines he takes to be greatly reduced." "And he plans to bid on that Lifespan Extension Pill next, consume it, and extend his life." "But he also needs to prepare Clear Accumulation Pills in advance to reduce the Elixir Poisoning in his body, enabling him to achieve the maximum effect when taking the Lifespan Extension Pill and consequently live a few more years to oversee the Zhang Family." "Thus, some people are targeting the Clear Accumulation Pills, ensuring that even if he obtains the Lifespan Extension Pill, it will not extend his lifespan by much." "Hehe..." Huang Qingling chuckled twice and then said: "That's the situation, that's exactly what Old Man Bai said." Lin Jing continued: "If I'm not mistaken, they probably won't just target the Clear Accumulation Pills and Dust Removal Grass; they likely will also try to bid on that Lifespan Extension Pill during the auction." "Exactly, that's a certainty," Huang Qingling said. "However..." "It won't be that easy for them to succeed. Let's not discuss the Clear Accumulation Pills for now; the Zhang Family is definitely determined to obtain that Lifespan Extension Pill." "After all, the Lifespan Extension Pill is the most important thing." "Without the Lifespan Extension Pill, all of it is meaningless." "Indeed." Lin Jing nodded. ..... Not long afterward, after finishing their meal, Huang Qingling left with Little Sparrow. This visit by Huang Qingling was brief; she didn't even stay one hour before going back. Meanwhile, the Alchemy Room still hadn't finished its upgrade. Subsequently, Lin Jing returned to his room and began to continue meditating and recovering. After some time, Lin Jing, who was meditating to restore his energy, was awakened by a system notification sound. "Ding." "System notification: Alchemy Room upgrade completed."
