Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

However... Huang Qingling's words inevitably made Lin Jing think more. The newly arrived Attendant Zheng had just visited the Liu Clan, and soon after, the examination incident occurred. And this examination was clearly targeted at him. So, could it be possible... that this examination was a conspiracy from the start? The purpose was to make him fail the examination, forcing him to move out of the Inner Fang Market and thereby achieve their objectives. After all, the security in the Outer Fang Market was much worse compared to the Inner Fang Market. That was the reason Lin Jing had sought to enter the Inner Fang Market. Although Lin Jing was not sure, he had serious suspicions about Attendant Zheng. ...... Meanwhile, as Lin Jing was preparing to celebrate, Inside a secret chamber within the Liu Clan's compound, Liu Yiyuan was sitting cross-legged on a Cold Jade Bed. At this moment, Liu Yiyuan's face was haggard, his eyes bloodshot, and occasionally, a flash of dark energy appeared, suggesting his condition was not good. Standing opposite him was a person. This person was the Wang-named Pill Master. Liu Yiyuan raised his head, looking at the Wang-named Pill Master: "How did the examination results turn out?" The Wang-named Pill Master bowed his head, cautiously saying, "Young Master Liu, I did my best to interfere with him, but unexpectedly, he still passed the examination." Having said this, fearing Liu Yiyuan might not believe him, The Wang-named Pill Master quickly explained: "His alchemy skills do not seem as inadequate as the rumors suggested." "I think, even if his skills are inferior to mine, they can't be much worse." Upon hearing the Wang-named Pill Master's defense, Liu Yiyuan's gaze filled with doubt. He knew this person had been a Second-Grade Alchemist for many years. How could Lin Jing possibly surpass him in alchemy so swiftly? Liu Yiyuan's tone became somewhat unfriendly: "Why couldn't you affect him? Can't you cause an explosion in the furnace?" "Exploding a furnace is a common occurrence for alchemists. If you explode the furnace, couldn't anyone be affected?" "Young Master Liu…" To avoid any misunderstanding, the Wang-named Pill Master quickly began to explain: "I already used the explosion tactic, and it did cause Lin Jing to fail once." "Because of that, I was warned by the newly arrived Attendant Zheng." "If you don't believe me, you can ask the others who were present. Many witnessed it, and for this, I was almost reprimanded by another Offering Priest." "After all, Young Master Liu, you know that as a Second-Grade Pill Master, if I continue to explode furnaces, anyone could see there's a problem." After hearing the Wang-named Pill Master's defense, Liu Yiyuan fell silent. Since many people were present during the examination, the Wang-named Pill Master could not lie or deceive him. Then, there was only one possibility left. That was, Lin Jing, despite the interference, had successfully refined superior-grade medicinal pills. If that was truly the case, it was not something that could merely be attributed to luck. This conclusion made Liu Yiyuan silent for a long time. Seeing that Liu Yiyuan showed no sign of response, the Wang-named Pill Master hastily flattered again: "Following Young Master Liu, being expelled from Yuebaolou is not something I fear." "But…" "Didn't you also ask me to inquire about Miss Qing Ling? If I am expelled from Yuebaolou, it won't be easy to gather information." Only then did Liu Yiyuan come to his senses, and then he took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I understand." "You may continue to stay at Yuebaolou, and report any situations to me immediately." "Yes…" the Wang-named Pill Master bowed. "Alright, you may leave now…" Liu Yiyuan just felt a wave of irritation and waved his hand. However, the Wang-named Pill Master did not leave. "That... Mr. Liu..." "What we agreed on before..." At this point, the Wang surnamed Pill Master stopped and did not continue. Liu Yiyuan looked up at the Wang surnamed Pill Master and then said: "What you mentioned..." "When you go out later, just find the steward who brought you here." "I have already instructed him..." "Rest assured, following me, Liu Yiyuan, you won't lack benefits." "Thank you, Mr. Liu." The Wang surnamed Pill Master quickly bowed in thanks. "Alright, you may go..." Liu Yiyuan waved his hand. "Mr. Liu, I take my leave..." After saying this, the Wang surnamed Pill Master turned and left the place. ...... Lin Jing's success in refining elixir medicine vexed him, adding to his invisible irritability. However, he couldn't lose his temper while he was with the Wang surnamed Pill Master. After all, the Wang surnamed Pill Master had just pledged his allegiance, and there were many tasks he would need him for in the future. Shortly after the Wang surnamed Pill Master left. Liu Yiyuan emerged from the secret chamber and arrived at the Liu Clan's inner courtyard, where the Wu Cai Immortal resided. "Ancestor..." Liu Yiyuan stood outside the door and bowed respectfully. "Come in." A moment later, a voice emanated from within the room, then the door automatically swung open. Seeing this, Liu Yiyuan lifted his leg and entered. As soon as Liu Yiyuan walked in, the door closed automatically behind him. Passing through the front hall into the inner chamber, Liu Yiyuan saw the Wu Cai Immortal meditating with eyes closed. Then... Liu Yiyuan clasped his hands and respectfully greeted the Wu Cai Immortal: "Ancestor." Wu Cai Immortal opened his eyes and took in Liu Yiyuan's appearance. Then, a dazzling light burst from his eyes. This light swept up and down Liu Yiyuan's body. Before long, the light faded. Wu Cai Immortal raised his eyebrows and scolded Liu Yiyuan: "Didn't I instruct you to meditate deeply and make a breakthrough?" "How have you managed to bring yourself to this state, allowing a heart demon to arise, with constricted meridians, and not the slightest progress in your cultivation?" "I'm sorry, Ancestor, I have disappointed you." Liu Yiyuan quickly prostrated himself, kneeling before Wu Cai Immortal. "I just can't overcome this inner conflict." "Whenever I cultivate, I always imagine the two of them hand in hand, especially Lin Jing's face, which constantly lingers in my mind." "Please, Ancestor, punish me." Having said this, Liu Yiyuan forcefully kowtowed. "You..." "Sigh..." Wu Cai Immortal initially wanted to say more, but seeing Liu Yiyuan like this, he couldn't begin speaking and could only sigh helplessly. Previously, the entire Liu Clan had indulged Liu Yiyuan excessively, providing whatever he desired. He had never suffered any hardship from childhood to adulthood. This had led to the current situation. This one setback had become an insurmountable heart demon for him. At that moment, even Wu Cai Immortal deeply regretted it. Sighing, Wu Cai Immortal finally said: "You, get up." Then, he reached out a hand and magically lifted Liu Yiyuan into the air. "Regarding dealing with Lin Jing, I have already taken care of it for you."
