Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Since Lin Jing's last assessment, half a month had passed in the blink of an eye. In this half-month, aside from alchemy, Lin Jing had also taken time to visit Yuebaolou to purchase ingredients for refining Second Rank elixir medicines. He did this deliberately. If others knew he had bought a large quantity of Second Rank alchemy ingredients, they would assume his production was based on quantity, and would not suspect his alchemy skills. In fact, there was another reason—he was now in great need of Spirit Stones. The scarcity of Third Rank Spirit Plants had caused their prices to remain high. Just a few days ago, Yuebaolou had a Third Rank Spirit Plant up for sale, which was an auxiliary medicine for the Refining of Cultivation True Elixirs. Moreover, although the quality of the Spirit Plant was not very good, it had roots, making it suitable for planting in the System Space. The only problem was that the Spirit Plant was too expensive, costing up to 2,000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones. However, Lin Jing only had a little over 1,000 Spirit Stones on him, which was far from enough. Therefore, Lin Jing had no choice but to utilize his identity as an Elixir Valley Heir once again and prepared to sell elixir medicines on a large scale. In purchasing these materials, no matter what, he would not suffer a loss. After this half-month, the assessment for the Offering Priests of Pill Masters had ended. Two individuals were unlucky, failing the assessment. Attendant Zheng revoked their Offering status and, having no choice, they moved to the Fang Market to live. However, even though their status as Offering Priests of Yuebaolou had been revoked, it was not much of a problem for them. Their alchemy skills were originally not bad, just unfortunate. After leaving Yuebaolou, they could continue to serve as Offering Priests elsewhere. Recently, many small clans outside the market had extended an olive branch to them. Besides the Pill Masters, the Attendant also assessed other Offering Priests. Such as Talisman Masters, Artifact Refiners, Beast Taming Masters, and so on... The assessments of these Offering Priests were underway, bustling with activity, and it was said that several people had their Offering status revoked and left Yuebaolou. ...... On this day... Lin Jing was sitting cross-legged in the Alchemy Room within the System Space. The Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace stood before him, the base of the furnace without wood yet the fire burnt on its own. This was Lin Jing using the Foundation Building True Fire. Using the Controlling Fire Technique, Lin Jing controlled the roaring Foundation Building True Fire at the base of the furnace. No wonder Brother Han Jing particularly reminded him back then to diligently practice this Controlling Fire Technique. Using the Controlling Fire Technique to manage the Foundation Building True Fire turned out to be remarkably attuned to his will. With the aid of the Controlling Fire Technique, the True Fire was more convenient to control, and it also reduced mental exhaustion. If he directly controlled the Foundation Building True Fire for alchemy, Lin Jing would need six hours to recover after refining a batch of Elixir Furnace Medicine. But with the use of the Controlling Fire Technique, Lin Jing would only need four hours to fully recover after refining a batch of Elixir Furnace Medicine. ...... And so, Lin Jing continued to use the Controlling Fire Technique, refining the Elixir Medicine in the furnace. Soon, the fragrance of elixirs wafted out; Lin Jing quickly circulated his Spiritual Power, directing it to the Foundation Building True Fire beneath the furnace, which, with a "boom," blazed up even more fiercely. Now, it was the final critical moment of pill solidification. But just at that moment... Suddenly, an emergency alert sounded from the System. "Alert! Someone has intruded into the alert perimeter; please respond promptly, host." The System's alert sound disrupted Lin Jing, and the output of Spiritual Power to the Foundation Building True Fire abruptly faltered, causing the fire to momentarily shrink. Lin Jing instantly reacted, quickly ramping up the output of Spiritual Power. The Foundation Building True Fire instantly flared back to life. Lin Jing frowned, unhappy with anyone intruding at this time. To avoid disturbance during his alchemy, at their last gathering, he had specifically mentioned this to Huang Qingling. And he said he would seek her out if there was anything he needed. Huang Qingling had also nodded in agreement, so she hadn't come to disturb him during this time. Therefore, the person seeking out Lin Jing at this time was very likely someone else. However, it was a critical moment in alchemy, and he dared not get distracted. Moments later, the Elixir Medicine finally took shape. Along with this, a prompt from the System followed. "Ding" "System notification: Congratulations to the host for successfully refining Flawless Elixir Medicine and receiving a reward: 10 Harvest Points." "Elixir Medicine refining successful, Alchemy Proficiency +30." (Note: You are currently a Third Rank Alchemist. When refining low-tier elixirs, proficiency is halved.) After completing the elixir medicine refining, Lin Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Lin Jing took the elixir medicine out from the pill furnace, and from his storage bag, he took out a Pure Jade Box and placed the Flawless Elixir Medicine inside it. Having done all this, Lin Jing then spoke again. "System, activate Observation Mode." As Lin Jing's words fell, his perspective switched to Observation Mode, rising upward until he was above the small courtyard. Subsequently, Lin Jing controlled his viewpoint to the entrance, only to find that it was that alchemist surnamed Wang standing at his courtyard gate. Through Observation Mode, Lin Jing watched him stretch out his hand to knock on the door again. "Lin Daoyou, are you home?" Lin Jing observed the alchemist surnamed Wang, pondering: "I'm not familiar with this person; why has he come?" Meanwhile, the alchemist surnamed Wang waited for a moment longer. Seeing no movement from inside, he furrowed his brows and couldn't help muttering: "Strange?" "Could it be that no one is home?" "That doesn't seem right..." Watching the alchemist surnamed Wang like that, Lin Jing decided it was best to go out and ask, to see what purpose this person had for coming here. Then, Lin Jing spoke again. "System, exit Observation Mode, leave the System Space." This time, as the scene before Lin Jing's eyes changed once again, he found himself back in the room. Lin Jing opened the door and walked out of the house. As soon as he stepped out, he heard the alchemist surnamed Wang still calling out: "Lin Daoyou, are you home? Wang is here to visit." "He really is persistent..." Lin Jing couldn't help but inwardly remark. Then, arriving at the courtyard gate, Lin Jing stretched out his hand to open the door and saw the alchemist surnamed Wang. "Wang Daoyou..." "May I know the reason for your visit today?" Lin Jing's expression remained unchanged, showing no additional emotions. Upon seeing Lin Jing, the alchemist surnamed Wang immediately showed a look of joy: "Lin Daoyou, so you are home. I knocked for quite a while and thought you weren't in." "Had Lin Daoyou not appeared, I was about to leave." Lin Jing cut to the chase: "I was here, just refining elixirs. It was at a critical moment, so I was delayed for a while." Upon hearing this, the alchemist surnamed Wang immediately became anxious and hurriedly spoke: "Lin Daoyou, how did it go, your batch of elixir furnace medicine wasn't affected, was it..." After saying that, the alchemist surnamed Wang slapped his forehead: "Oh no..." "I really should've thought of this sooner..." "Why do I always interrupt Lin Daoyou during your alchemy, it happened during the assessment last time, and now again..." Observing the alchemist surnamed Wang acting as though his heart ached, Lin Jing showed no particular reaction and simply stated: "It's fine..." The alchemist surnamed Wang patted his chest in relief: "Good, good, as long as it's fine..." "If it had been because of me that Lin Daoyou failed in alchemy again, my transgression would have been great." At this moment, Lin Jing once again asked: "May I know what Wang Daoyou is seeking from me?"
