Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space
Chapter 162: Secret Agreement
Little Sparrow cocked its head and first glanced at the Elixir Medicine in Lin Jing's hand, then looked up at Huang Qingling as if asking a question.
Huang Qingling understood Little Sparrow's intent and spoke:
"Go ahead and choose…"
As soon as Huang Qingling finished speaking, Little Sparrow hopped over to Lin Jing's hand and pecked at the Medium Grade Gathering Yuan Pill.
"Chirp…"
Then Little Sparrow looked up and chirped at Lin Jing.
"Are you saying this pill is the best?" Lin Jing asked Little Sparrow.
After hearing this, Little Sparrow nodded.
"Alright, I'll give you one..."
Having said that, Lin Jing picked up a Low Grade Gathering Yuan Pill and handed it to Little Sparrow.
Little Sparrow was incredibly fast and flew over in a swoosh. In just a flash of a dark shadow, the Low Grade Gathering Yuan Pill in Lin Jing's hand was already in its beak.
Then, Little Sparrow directly swallowed it. Lin Jing could clearly see the pill sliding down Little Sparrow's neck into its stomach.
It was a wonder how Little Sparrow managed to swallow such a large pill.
After swallowing, Little Sparrow chirped.
Then, it sneakily looked again at the other Medium Grade Gathering Yuan Pill in Lin Jing's hand.
Huang Qingling, seeing this scene, quickly voiced a warning:
"Little Sparrow, no snatching..."
Hearing Huang Qingling's words, Little Sparrow reluctantly withdrew its gaze.
Seeing this, Lin Jing thought for a moment and said to Huang Qingling:
"Brother Qingling, it seems we haven't gathered together for almost a month. How about we invite Brother Li and the others to join us tonight?"
Hearing Lin Jing's suggestion, Huang Qingling immediately nodded enthusiastically:
"That sounds great..."
"I was just about to mention the same..."
"So about that... I have some ingredients here, but I'm not sure if it's enough. Have you prepared anything, Lin Jing?"
Lin Jing spread his hands and said:
"I came straight to find you after leaving Yuebaolou, and this gathering was a spur-of-the-moment idea, so I haven't prepared anything..."
At this point, Huang Qingling said:
"Then let's split up. You go and buy some more ingredients from the market, and I'll go call Tan Yu and Qing Qing."
"No need..."
Lin Jing grinned mysteriously and then looked toward Little Sparrow.
Following Lin Jing's gaze, Huang Qingling suddenly realized.
"You mean, let Little Sparrow..."
"Exactly...!"
Lin Jing nodded and continued:
"Little Sparrow is so clever and so fast, it can perfectly handle the errand."
"As for the ingredients, see what we need and ask Brother Li to bring some over."
"Good idea, how come I didn't think of it..."
Huang Qingling immediately beamed with joy.
The only one unhappy was probably Little Sparrow, as it was glaring fiercely at Lin Jing.
Obviously, Little Sparrow had understood the conversation between Lin Jing and Huang Qingling.
However, Lin Jing was completely ignoring it at the moment.
"Friend Qingling, prepare some paper and ink, explain the situation to Brother Li, and let Little Sparrow take it over..." Lin Jing told Huang Qingling.
"Okay, just give me a moment..."
After finishing speaking, Huang Qingling left and headed toward the study.
After Huang Qingling left, Lin Jing finally turned to face Little Sparrow, whose gaze was unfriendly and fixated on him:
"Little Sparrow, how about this..."
"If you complete this task, I will also give you this pill I'm holding. How does that sound?"
As he spoke, Lin Jing lifted the Medium Grade Gathering Yuan Pill in his hand and shook it in front of Little Sparrow.
Little Sparrow's eyes were immediately drawn to the pill.
However...
Lin Jing quickly pocketed the pill, to prevent Little Sparrow from breaking the rules and flying over to snatch it.
It's not like it hadn't done that before. Now that Huang Qingling was not there, Lin Jing naturally had to be cautious.
Having seen Lin Jing put away the Elixir Medicine, Little Sparrow finally shifted her gaze, then looked at Lin Jing's head bobbing up and down, and nodded.
Seeing that Little Sparrow had understood, a smile emerged on Lin Jing's face.
He then leaned forward a bit more and whispered to Little Sparrow:
"Little Sparrow, do you want more Elixir Medicine, just like the one earlier?"
Upon seeing Lin Jing lean in, Little Sparrow instinctively wanted to back away, but upon hearing Lin Jing's words, she stopped.
She tilted her head in thought for a moment, then like a chick pecking at grains, she nodded her head.
Lin Jing continued:
"So, Little Sparrow..."
"If you complete this mission today, I will give this Elixir Medicine to you."
"Tomorrow, if you sneak over to my place and help me with some work, I will give you a few more pieces just like it."
"Do you want it?"
"Scree..."
After hearing this, Little Sparrow screeched.
"Remember, don't let Qing Ling find out, or else you won't be able to have this Elixir Medicine…"
After finishing speaking, Lin Jing glanced out the door, seeing that Huang Qingling had not yet returned, he then relaxed.
The matter with the Wang family's Pill Master was something he didn't want Huang Qingling to know, so he took this moment to discuss it specifically with Little Sparrow.
Little Sparrow also followed Lin Jing's gaze toward the door, seeing that Huang Qingling was not there, she quickly nodded her head.
The two, a man and an eagle, had thus formed a secret agreement.
......
After a while, Huang Qingling finally walked in, holding half a sheet of xuan paper with a few words written on it.
As he walked in, Huang Qingling folded the xuan paper and said to Lin Jing:
"Alright..."
"Everything that needs to be communicated is on this."
After speaking, Huang Qingling looked at Lin Jing and Little Sparrow, and said:
"Just now, while I was in the study, I heard Little Sparrow's screech, have you finished your discussion with her?"
"Yes, we've finished our discussion..." Lin Jing nodded.
"That's good..." Huang Qingling replied.
Lin Jing took the folded xuan paper from Huang Qingling's hands, then rolled it into a cylinder and tied it to Little Sparrow's leg with a thin string.
This marked the completion of their preparation.
"Alright Little Sparrow, off you go..."
Huang Qingling spoke to Little Sparrow.
"Scree..."
Little Sparrow responded with a screech, preparing to take flight, but was stopped by Lin Jing.
"Little Sparrow, wait..."
Turning around, Little Sparrow cocked her head and looked at Lin Jing, her eyes filled with confusion.
Huang Qingling also spoke at that moment:
"Lin Jing, did you forget anything else to tell Little Sparrow?"
"No, I just suddenly thought of something fun..."
Then, Lin Jing said to Little Sparrow:
"Little Sparrow, when you get to the Li family's place, sneak over there quietly, don't alarm anyone, and when you find Li Qingqing or Li Tangyu, suddenly jump out and scare them."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Little Sparrow first nodded her head, then looked towards Huang Qingling.
Huang Qingling pursed her lips:
"Lin Jing, you're really naughty..."
Then, intrigued, she continued:
"How can I miss out on such fun?"
After speaking, Huang Qingling also gave Little Sparrow further instructions.
"Little Sparrow, remember not to be discovered ahead of time, go quietly and give Li Tangyu a scare."
"Scree..."
Little Sparrow responded with a screech.
"Alright, off you go..."
As Huang Qingling's words fell, Little Sparrow transformed into a streak of black light and vanished.
Lin Jing and Huang Qingling then waited here, hoping for good news from Little Sparrow.
