Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Li Tan Yu also knew that he couldn't reason with the two, so he quickly shifted the subject: "Brother Lin, how goes your refining of Second Rank elixir medicine recently? Have you encountered any issues that you don't understand?" Li Qingqing then hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, Brother Lin Jing..." "If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask my brother. Although he's not as good at cooking as you are, he's still very impressive when it comes to alchemy..." Hearing his sister's praise, Li Tan Yu felt a surge of gratification. Lin Jing clasped his fists and said: "Thank you for the concern, Brother Li." "I've only recently advanced to be a Second-Grade Alchemist, and things have been fine for now. If I encounter any issues, I will seek guidance from Brother Li then." Two months ago... Lin Jing felt that the time was ripe, so he revealed his concealed cultivation, advancing to the seventh level of Qi Refinement. At the same time... He also revealed some of his skills in alchemy, becoming a Second-Grade Alchemist. After all, if he continued to hide his abilities, it wouldn't be good. Elder Yu had always been optimistic about his alchemy talents and believed in him. Now that so much time had passed, it would have been unreasonable not to advance. Upon becoming a Second-Grade Alchemist, he naturally became an official Offering Priest Alchemist of Yuebaolou, and his alchemy tasks were now focused on Second Rank elixir medicines. However... He had only been promoted to a Second-Grade Alchemist recently. Therefore, with Elder Bai's special permission, the quantity of elixir medicine he needed to submit was less than others. "Alright, good..." "If there's anything you don't understand, just come and ask me," said Li Tan Yu. Then, the group shifted the topic again and started discussing other matters. At one point, the conversation even turned to Liu Yiyuan, mentioning that no one had seen him for a long time and he hadn't shown up to bother Huang Qingling either. Since the last black market event, Lin Jing had not seen Liu Yiyuan for a long time; he seemed to have disappeared. Soon... After they had eaten and drunk their fill and the conversation had run its course, but with the night growing deep, the group took their leave from Lin Jing, each going their separate ways. After seeing them out... Lin Jing returned to clean up the remnants on the table, putting everything back in the kitchen, and then he entered the System Space. Within the System Space at that moment, the spirit fields were still lushly populated with spirit plants. The previous batch of spirit plants had been harvested, earning him a batch of Harvest Points, while the current batch had only been planted not long ago and were still just seedlings. Owing to the scarcity of Third Rank spirit plants, Lin Jing had to continue planting these Second Rank spirit grasses in the space. During this time, after selling some elixir medicines at the black market a few times, he had saved up some Spirit Stones and had started to accumulate wealth. Yet, on a visit to the black market, he encountered a cultivator selling a Third Rank spirit grass, freshly picked and still with roots. Without hesitation, Lin Jing made the purchase. That Third Rank spirit grass, an auxiliary ingredient for refining Cultivation True Elixirs, was not cheap. Buying that one plant cost Lin Jing over half of his Spirit Stones. However, acquiring that spirit grass was a profitable deal for Lin Jing. Over this period, Lin Jing's cultivation had been steadily rising, having stepped past the ninth level of Qi Refinement and reached the peak of Qi Refinement over four months ago. Now, his cultivation was brimming, nearing a breakthrough state. He entered the System Space this time to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Furthermore, as soon as he had reached the peak of Qi Refinement, he had started preparing Foundation Building Elixirs. This time, for his Foundation Establishment, he directly prepared five Flawless Foundation Building Elixirs. With these elixirs, even with his Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root, he should be able to break through. Next, Lin Jing headed to the Alchemy Room. As soon as he stepped into the Alchemy Room, he sensed that his Divine Sense had grown substantially stronger and more condensed, and even the slight buzz from drinking vanished. With the enhancement in Divine Sense strength provided by the Alchemy Room, his breakthrough would be a bit easier. Upon arriving in the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing did not rush to breakthrough, but instead sat down cross-legged to restore his condition. This meditation took Lin Jing an hour. An hour later, Lin Jing opened his eyes and felt that his condition had fully recovered. Then... He reached into his Storage Bag and took out five Pure Jade Boxes, which were the Foundation Building Elixirs Lin Jing had prepared. Afterward, Lin Jing opened one of the Pure Jade Boxes, and a rush of fragrance immediately filled the Alchemy Room. Lin Jing picked up the Foundation Building Elixir inside and put it directly into his mouth. No sooner had the Foundation Building Elixir entered his mouth than it turned into a warm current that flowed into his stomach, and then... With a "boom"... The tremendous Spiritual Power contained within the Foundation Building Elixir burst open inside Lin Jing's body. Lin Jing hastily gathered his mind and operated the Immortal Dao Five Elements Technique to full power, dissolving the massive Spiritual Power. One quarter of an hour... Two quarters of an hour... ... Time gradually passed... Fine beads of sweat began to appear on Lin Jing's forehead. It was clear that Lin Jing's breakthrough was not easy. After all, he had a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root, which made his breakthrough several times more difficult than for others. Especially at the critical junctures of advancing to the next realm, it was particularly tough. If it weren't for his possession of so many Flawless Foundation Building Elixirs, he might have had to go through decades, or even hundreds of years of accumulation to have a sliver of a chance at a breakthrough. Just like the Zhang Family Patriarch, where other Golden Core Immortals were usually over two hundred or three hundred years old. He was already over five hundred years old, approaching the end of his lifespan, and he was still at the Mid Golden Core Stage. And this was despite having relatively good resources and luck. The difficulty of a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root breaking through is thus evident. Soon, more than two hours had passed, and Lin Jing felt he still hadn't encountered the threshold of breakthrough. Then, he opened his eyes again. He opened the two Pure Jade Boxes that had been set aside... This time, he took two Flawless Foundation Building Elixirs at once. As the medicinal liquid flowed down his throat into his abdomen, the torrential Spiritual Power burst forth once more, with such intensity that Lin Jing felt he might have been blown apart by that momentary force. After the eruption of Spiritual Power, Lin Jing closed his eyes and continued to focus on refining the medicinal liquid entirely. Time slowly passed... Lin Jing, who was fully focused on breaking through, finally sensed the bottleneck, which seemed like a towering mountain in his path. At this moment, there was still a great deal of Spiritual Power from the two Flawless Foundation Building Elixirs that had been assimilated, and Lin Jing did not rush to assault the bottleneck of the new realm. Instead, he continued refining... Another hour passed, the medicinal power was completely refined, Lin Jing operated the Immortal Dao Five Elements Technique, gathering all the Spiritual Power in his body, and charged towards the bottleneck. Once, unmoved... Twice, there was some reaction... Thrice, the bottleneck finally showed signs of loosening. And this was already Lin Jing's limit, it was clear... The Spiritual Power was not enough... This was the difficulty of a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root's breakthrough; even three Flawless Foundation Building Elixirs were not enough to succeed. He couldn't help but admire the Zhang Family Patriarch, wondering how he managed to break through back then. That process must have been incredibly arduous as well...
