Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 136: The Eve of Tribulation



In the middle of the broken stone beach, a Formation had already taken shape, blanketing a large area with a faint white glow emitted from the intricate Formation Patterns above it. Clearly, this was the Formation Elder Bai had prepared in advance for Elder Yu. Upon seeing the three people arrive, Elder Bai walked over. Behind him followed three more individuals. Moreover, Lin Jing had seen all three of them before. The Zhang Family Patriarch. Li Family's Old Master. And the last one was the Attendant Lin Jing had met when he first came to Fang Market. Lin Jing had seen him once again during the beast tide; it was then that Lin Jing realized that he, too, was a Golden Core Immortal. Alongside Elder Bai himself, there were a total of four Golden Core Immortals ready to act as protectors for Elder Yu. Usually, when a Cultivator is undergoing Tribulation, they will have protectors. Protectors primarily ensure that no one deliberately causes destruction. It's known that Heavenly Tribulation adjusts its intensity based on the number of people within its range; the more people there are, the stronger the Tribulation Lightning becomes. Furthermore, Tribulation Lightning attacks indiscriminately. If someone enters the area mid-Tribulation, it could potentially double the Tribulation's strength, leading to the failure of the person undergoing Tribulation, resulting in their death and the dissipation of their cultivation path. "Elder Yu..." The three immortals arrived and greeted Elder Yu. Elder Yu stepped forward, cupped his fists in a salute, "Thank you, three immortals, for protecting me today..." "Now that we are fellow Daoists, such a small matter is not worth mentioning," the three responded in turn. At this moment, Elder Bai came over and said to Huang Qingling and Lin Jing: "Your cultivations aren't sufficient, making you easily susceptible to the effects of Tribulation Lightning. You can't stay too close—watch from that hillside over there later on." Elder Bai pointed towards a distant hillside. "Understood, Old Man Bai..." "We will head over there now." After instructing the two, Elder Bai also turned back and joined Elder Yu, speaking with the other three immortals about something. Meanwhile, Lin Jing and Huang Qingling made their way toward the hillside. Soon, the two reached the top of the hillside. The sparse woodland on the hillside did not obstruct their view, and looking down from their vantage point, they had the perfect angle to clearly see everything. Since it was still early, other people intending to observe Elder Yu's Tribulation had yet to arrive. With nothing to do, the two simply watched the group from afar. After a while, the spectators of Elder Yu's Tribulation began to arrive one after another. Members of various clans, and even the Wu Cai Immortal and the Golden Core Immortal from the Li Family, showed up. After all... As the current Attendant of Yuebaolou, Elder Bai had an extraordinary status and had never been in conflict with anyone. Naturally, they would also come to observe Elder Yu's Tribulation. Even if Wu Cai Immortal harbored hidden grievances against Elder Bai, he couldn't show it and had to maintain appearances. In addition, Wu Cai Immortal's presence served another crucial purpose—it was for his clan's younger generation, who was preparing to advance to the Golden Core Stage. He brought him along to observe the Heavenly Tribulation several times so he would be better prepared for his own Tribulation. For this reason, Wu Cai Immortal did not bring Liu Yiyuan. It was because he feared that Liu Yiyuan might lose control upon seeing Huang Qingling and Lin Jing, potentially causing an unpleasant incident. Wu Cai Immortal himself definitely wouldn't cause trouble; even if Elder Yu were to successfully pass the Tribulation and enter the Golden Core Stage, he would merely be a newly advanced Golden Core, posing no threat to him. Moreover, the time wasn't ripe for him to make a move against Elder Bai just yet. Down at the broken stone beach... Wu Cai Immortal and the Golden Core Immortal from the Li Family were engaged in conversation with Elder Bai and the others, appearing to be quite harmonious. ...... At this moment, a clamor approached. Lin Jing turned around and saw a group of young people walking this way, both males and females. There were even a few Lin Jing recognized. Li Tangyu, as well as the girl who appeared at the end of the auction, Lin Jing remembered, seemed to be Li Tangyu's sister. Then there was Zhang Yuan from the Zhang Family. Lin Jing had met him twice before, and he had even intervened to save Lin Jing once, although Lin Jing had been in disguise at that time. Another person was Li Yao from the Li Family, whose appearance did not surprise Lin Jing. After all, the previous incidents between the Liu and Li families and the Zhang Family had nothing to do with Elder Bai of the Yuebaolou, so it was normal for him to show up. Besides them, Lin Jing did not recognize any of the others. Then, Huang Qingling led Lin Jing to the top of the hill. A few people came over and greeted Huang Qingling. "Qing Ling Daoyou..." "Sister Qing Ling..." "Fellow Huang..." Anyway, there were all sorts of greetings, but nobody paid attention to Lin Jing. Firstly, they did not recognize Lin Jing, having never seen him before. It was clear that Lin Jing did not belong to any family of their circle. Secondly, belonging to the same circle, they naturally excluded outsiders who were not part of it. As for Lin Jing following Huang Qingling, they were simply curious. However, this curiosity was not enough to drive them to approach and make acquaintance. At this time, Li Tangyu came over and greeted Lin Jing with a fist salute: "Lin Daoyou." "Li Daoyou..." Lin Jing also saluted with a fist. "May I ask who this is?" The people felt surprised when they saw Li Tangyu taking the initiative to greet Lin Jing. They quickly enquired of Li Tangyu. They knew Li Tangyu well, being the Young Master of the Li Family. For someone who could make Li Tangyu greet them actively, this person's identity was likely not simple. Even Li Tangyu's sister, the cute-looking girl, looked puzzled at her brother. "Oh..." "This is Lin Jing. He is a distant nephew of Pill Master Yu," replied Li Tangyu. "So, it's Lin Daoyou..." Suddenly, several people greeted Lin Jing warmly. The rest, even if they didn't actively greet him, nodded to Lin Jing as a sign of recognition. In response, Lin Jing also reciprocated the greetings to everyone. After a bit of small talk, the people no longer paid attention to Lin Jing but started interacting with each other. After all, Elder Yu had not yet become a Golden Core Immortal, had he? Lin Jing was content with this, silently walked away, keeping his distance from the crowd, and leaned against a big tree on the hillside, quietly looking down at the rocky beach below. Lin Jing was very clear in his heart that he and these people were not on the same path, and there was naturally no need for too much entanglement with them. At this time, Huang Qingling was already chatting with Li Tangyu's sister, both of them chattering non-stop about something. And the rest of the people, in groups of three or two, were also having their discussions, the scene became very lively for a while. Just then, Li Tangyu came over. "Lin Daoyou, sorry to disturb you..." After saying this, he pointed towards the crowd where Huang Qingling and his sister were, and said to Lin Jing: "Those two are too noisy, I've come to borrow Lin Daoyou's quiet spot to take a break." "Lin Daoyou doesn't mind, right?" After speaking, Li Tangyu looked at Lin Jing with a smile on his face. Lin Jing couldn't help but smile: "Li Daoyou, please feel free."
