Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

The Pill Master surnamed Wang fell silent for a moment, then said: "To be honest, my seeking out Lin Daoyou actually has another layer of meaning." "And that is because of Elder Yu..." "I know that your relationship with Elder Yu is not an ordinary one." "My reason for inviting Lin Daoyou is to kindly ask you to put in a good word for me in front of Elder Yu and, incidentally, to see if Elder Yu can give me some guidance." "After all, guidance from a Golden Core Immortal is incredibly rare and valuable." "Of course..." "If I could secure a managerial position in Yuebaolou through your efforts, that would be even better." The Pill Master surnamed Wang's face was all smiles as he rose to his feet and poured a cup of wine for Lin Jing. "With Elder Yu speaking on my behalf, I think even Elder Bai would seriously consider it." "If the managerial position is a bit too much to ask for..." The Pill Master surnamed Wang paused at this point, seemingly reluctant to continue. After a moment, he seemed to make up his mind, raised his wine cup, and toasted Lin Jing from across the void, saying: "Then forget about it..." "I'll simply consider it as making a friend with Lin Daoyou. I just hope that in our future interactions, Lin Daoyou could look out for me a bit. I would be deeply satisfied with just that." Having said that, the Pill Master surnamed Wang drained the old wine in his cup in one gulp. After listening to the Pill Master surnamed Wang's words, Lin Jing fell into deep thought. From the conversation just now, Lin Jing could determine that eighty percent of this man's words were false, even though the reasons he gave sounded quite sufficient. But there was a significant flaw: they weren't close, and he didn't know Lin Jing well enough, thinking that Lin Jing, like himself, would be blinded by the temptation of the Fourth Grade Pill Master's cave dwelling. Furthermore, the backers of Yuebaolou were Yiyun Pavilion; even if Elder Yu became a Golden Core Immortal, he likely couldn't influence the staffing decisions of Yuebaolou. Of course, Lin Jing knew this, but it was uncertain whether the Pill Master surnamed Wang did. However, since their usual interactions were sparse, why this man would do such a thing baffled Lin Jing. Seeing Lin Jing's indecisiveness, the Pill Master surnamed Wang spoke up again: "Lin Daoyou, what are your thoughts?" "You can rest assured that, aside from myself, no one else could ever find that cave dwelling, so you don't have to worry about someone getting there before you." After pondering for a while, Lin Jing said: "This matter is too significant, and I cannot decide hastily. I need to consider it carefully before responding to you." "I see..." Seeing that Lin Jing had not outright refused, a hint of joy appeared on the Pill Master surnamed Wang's face, and he said: "Indeed..." "But Lin Daoyou must consider it quickly. After all, the sooner you get the treasure, the sooner you can rest easy." "Also, I hope Lin Daoyou will keep this matter confidential." "Such a discovery of a Fourth Grade Pill Master's cave dwelling could cause needless trouble if revealed carelessly..." "Of course, I am aware of that..." Lin Jing replied. "Then I will go back and think it over. If I decide, I will inform you." "Wang Daoyou, I take my leave." Lin Jing finished speaking and immediately turned and left the tavern. ...... After Lin Jing had left, he found a deserted alley and entered the System Space directly. Within the System Space, Lin Jing changed into a different outfit. Next, he activated The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon, changing his appearance and aura, disguising himself as a burly man. Then he stepped out of the System Space. The actions of the Pill Master surnamed Wang were far too suspicious. Lin Jing had some guesses but wasn't very sure. So... Lin Jing decided to follow this person to see what he really wanted to do. After leaving the System Space, Lin Jing, in the guise of a burly man, entered the small tavern. The door to the private room where the two had been before was open, and the server was busy tidying up inside, but the Pill Master surnamed Wang was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that the Pill Master surnamed Wang had already left. It hadn't been very long since Lin Jing had left, changed his disguise, and returned, so it stood to reason that the Pill Master surnamed Wang couldn't have gone far. Lin Jing hurried out the door and continued to search... Before long, Lin Jing indeed spotted the Pill Master surnamed Wang. He was walking on the main street at that moment. Lin Jing quietly followed him from behind. The street was bustling with people, and the Pill Master surnamed Wang didn't notice Lin Jing, strolling so casually. It was only a short while later that Lin Jing, to avoid losing him, sent a wisp of his presence onto the man. The Pill Master surnamed Wang seemed to sense something and turned his head to look back. Fortunately, Lin Jing reacted in time and quickly turned into a nearby alley. At this point, Lin Jing understood that this person must have had some kind of magic artifact to prevent tracking, making it nearly impossible to follow him. Lin Jing then decided to give up on the pursuit immediately. After that... Lin Jing continued along the alley, winding his way forward until there was no one else around, and then he entered System Space. Not long after Lin Jing entered System Space, the Pill Master surnamed Wang also appeared in the same alley. In his hand, there was a greenish insect with a shiny scale on its head, emitting a faint light, flickering on and off. Upon reaching the alley, the Pill Master surnamed Wang held the small insect and made a round, then frowned: "Strange..." "How did that presence suddenly disappear here..." Then, the Pill Master surnamed Wang stroked the insect in his hand and muttered to himself: "This Spirit Sensing Insect would never make a mistake, someone was definitely trying to track me just now." At this moment... Lin Jing, inside the System Space, finally understood why he had been discovered—his opponent had a Spirit Sensing Insect. This Spirit Sensing Insect was a rare and seldom-seen insect with an extremely sensitive response to spiritual power and various other presences. Moreover, it could easily capture a trace of presence aimed at itself, even in a complex atmosphere. For tracking purposes, the Spirit Sensing Insect was even more effective than other creatures, such as Spirit Tracking Hounds. Just now, Lin Jing had unintentionally revealed his presence while trying to follow the Pill Master surnamed Wang, which triggered the insect's senses, and it had captured his own presence. That's why Lin Jing had been exposed and the Pill Master surnamed Wang had managed to trace him. Luckily, Lin Jing had sensed something amiss as soon as the tracking effort had failed. Upon entering System Space, Lin Jing immediately activated Observation Mode. Sure enough, it wasn't long before... The Pill Master surnamed Wang came looking. ...... The Pill Master surnamed Wang was still searching at this point. Seeing that there was no one else around and that the light on the Spirit Sensing Insect's scale had completely dimmed, it was clear that the presence he was tracking had vanished completely. The Pill Master surnamed Wang circled the area a bit longer, then left, muttering to himself with a furrowed brow. After the Pill Master surnamed Wang had left, Lin Jing didn't choose to come out right away. Instead, he elevated his viewpoint, watching the Pill Master surnamed Wang's movements from a higher perspective. Indeed, the Pill Master surnamed Wang hadn't truly left, but was hiding around a corner of the alley, all the while looking at the Spirit Sensing Insect in his hand. Lin Jing couldn't help but let out a cold chuckle. This fellow was really quite clever.
