Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Huang Qingling's courtyard was much larger than the one Lin Jing lived in, and it was specially granted by Elder Bai for the use of attendants' relatives. Even Zheng, the attendant, didn't bring up this courtyard because it was a privilege inherent to attendants. Lin Jing followed Huang Qingling into the courtyard and then walked into her boudoir behind her. This was Lin Jing's first time entering Huang Qingling's boudoir. As soon as he entered, a burst of fragrance hit him, and Lin Jing instinctively took a deep breath. Then Lin Jing realized that he might have acted inappropriately. Quickly turning his head to Huang Qingling, he saw that she was merely sulking and hadn't noticed Lin Jing's behavior. After the two had walked in, Little Sparrow raised its head and tilted it at Lin Jing, seemingly puzzled by Lin Jing's presence. Then, seeing the downcast Huang Qingling next to Lin Jing, Little Sparrow quickly drooped its head too. "This Little Sparrow..." "Although it often makes Huang Qingling angry, it seems to be really afraid of her." Lin Jing couldn't help but laugh quietly to himself. As they walked in, Huang Qingling warned Lin Jing: "Be careful what you say in front of it. Little Sparrow has become very smart now. It can understand almost everything we say." "Why has Little Sparrow's intelligence increased?" asked Lin Jing, puzzled. "Perhaps it had some serendipitous adventures, I'm not exactly sure how..." Huang Qingling said helplessly. "Recently, Little Sparrow kept running out. Since it didn't disturb you or cause any trouble..." "I just let it be and didn't pay much attention to it." "It was during that time that Little Sparrow would fly into the Night Mist Mountain Range every day, sometimes not returning for days..." "I think it must have encountered something incredible in the mountains, which is why it has become increasingly formidable and smart." Lin Jing wore an intrigued expression, eyeing Little Sparrow with great curiosity. "How did Little Sparrow become a robber?" Upon hearing Lin Jing's question, Little Sparrow tilted its head, glanced at him, and then looked down again. "How did it become a robber?" Huang Qingling curled the corner of her mouth and then said to Little Sparrow: "Little Sparrow, speak..." Little Sparrow raised its head, looking timidly at Huang Qingling but remained silent. Lin Jing, hearing Huang Qingling's words, was completely baffled and thought: "Can Little Sparrow actually talk?" "Before, it could only chirp and screech." Seeing Little Sparrow daring not to speak, Huang Qingling pointed at Lin Jing. "Speak to him..." Only then did Little Sparrow turn its head towards Lin Jing. After a moment, Little Sparrow opened its mouth, and two clear words popped out of its beak. "Robbery..." ... The voice was a bit peculiar and not very pleasant, somewhat reminiscent of the speaking voice of a mynah Lin Jing had heard in his past life. But just those two words stunned Lin Jing on the spot; it took him a while to recover. "So, Little Sparrow has become a robber like this..." "It can even commit robbery..." It seemed almost cunningly brilliant. Facing Lin Jing's astonishment, Huang Qingling helplessly spread her hands. "You heard it..." Then... Huang Qingling pointed towards a table on the side, where a few low-grade magic artifacts were placed next to some spirit grasses and even a few elixir medicines, all carelessly piled up there. "There..." "These are its spoils from the last few days..." Lin Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly; Little Sparrow was really something, and he wondered where it had learned to do such things. At that time... Lin Jing remembered another sentence Huang Qingling had just mentioned. "Qing Ling, my friend, did you say that Little Sparrow can now understand us when we speak?" "Hmm…" Huang Qingling nodded. Lin Jing looked at Little Sparrow, who was tilting its head and looking at the two of them as if it really understood. Previously, Little Sparrow could understand them, but sometimes there were misinterpretations, but now… "I want to try…" Lin Jing told Huang Qingling. Huang Qingling nodded before saying, "Alright, Little Sparrow can only say those two words right now. If you want to ask it other questions, it can only express through actions." "And…" "Don't ask it anything too profound; it won't be able to answer those." "I understand…" Lin Jing nodded. Having said that, Lin Jing gave Little Sparrow a mischievous look. Startled by Lin Jing's gaze, Little Sparrow shivered and then stared back defiantly. "Little Sparrow, your voice is really unpleasant…" As soon as Lin Jing spoke, Little Sparrow was momentarily stunned. Then, it screamed angrily. "Squawk" Next, it flapped its wings and charged towards Lin Jing. Lin Jing quickly circulated his spiritual power to form a Spiritual Power Shield for defense, but the shield barely held up before being shattered by Little Sparrow's attack. Suddenly, a frenzied brawl between man and bird ensued, creating quite a spectacle. Meanwhile, Huang Qingling was speechless. She had originally thought that Lin Jing was going to ask Little Sparrow some profound question, even giving him a warning. This Lin Jing, really never failed to be a handful. … … "I surrender, your voice is the most pleasant…" With Lin Jing's final surrender, the grand man-bird battle finally came to an end. At the end, Lin Jing's hair was a mess, and his clothes were torn in several places by Little Sparrow, and on his head was a large bump pecked as a warning. After the big fight, Little Sparrow stood triumphantly looking at Lin Jing, appearing ready for another round. But, since Huang Qingling was also there, it calmed down. After this simple test, Lin Jing understood. This Little Sparrow had developed a sense of self and was already different from other Demonic Beasts, and it couldn't be viewed as just a beast anymore. Before he had met Little Sparrow, Lin Jing still had some doubts whether Little Sparrow could successfully complete a tracking task, especially since it involved tracking a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. But now, Lin Jing was reassured. The current Little Sparrow, as long as he communicated well with it, could easily complete the tracking task. "Qing Ling, my friend, why do you say Little Sparrow eats Elixir Medicine?" Lin Jing continued to ask. Huang Qingling then explained, "It's that, Little Sparrow now only eats Elixir Medicine that increases cultivation and doesn't eat any other food." "I don't know why Little Sparrow has turned out this way; it's a pity Old Man Bai isn't here, or we could ask him." Huang Qingling was puzzled by the changes in Little Sparrow's behavior during this period. This matter had also sparked considerable curiosity in Lin Jing. "Could it be related to Little Sparrow's awakening of self-awareness?" Lin Jing couldn't help but ponder to himself. Afterward, Lin Jing took out a small porcelain bottle from his Storage Bag, then opened the cork and poured out two Elixir Medicines. A low-grade Gathering Yuan Pill and a medium-grade Gathering Yuan Pill, Lin Jing placed these two pills in the palm of his hand and extended it towards Little Sparrow. Then he said, "Little Sparrow, can you tell which of these two Elixir Medicines is better?" "If you can distinguish between them, I'll give you one."
