Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

"Right..." "Brother Lin Jing..." Li Qingqing turned her head to look at Lin Jing and asked: "You just mentioned Little Sparrow has changed, what kind of change is it?" "Haven't you noticed? Little Sparrow has become even smarter," Lin Jing reminded her. "Hasn't Little Sparrow always been very smart?" Li Qingqing spoke directly, but after the words left her mouth, she felt something amiss, remembered Little Sparrow's behavior today and indeed found it somewhat odd. So she started speaking again: "It seems there is a bit of a change, but I truly haven't paid much attention to it." Lin Jing looked at Li Qingqing, somewhat exasperated, and said: "Forget it, let's wait until your brother and the others arrive before discussing it..." "Okay..." Li Qingqing nodded. ...… Soon, another hour passed before the knock on the door sounded again. Hearing the knock, Lin Jing immediately got up and walked towards the door. Upon opening the courtyard door, standing there, as expected, were Li Tangyu and Zhang Yuan. "Brother Li, Brother Zhang..." Lin Jing greeted them with clasped hands. "Brother Lin..." "Brother Lin..." The two men responded with the same greeting. "Come on in..." Lin Jing stepped aside to allow them inside. After the two entered, Lin Jing closed the courtyard door and followed them in. Arriving in the courtyard, Huang Qingling and Li Qingqing were still sitting under the large tree in the yard, drinking tea. The courtyard belonging to Huang Qingling had been selected for her by Elder Bai, and was much larger than the one Lin Jing resided in. Furthermore, within the courtyard, there was a large tree tens of meters tall with the function of Gathering Spirit. Cultivating under this tree was much more effective than in other places, a tree specially prepared for Huang Qingling by Elder Bai. Upon seeing the new arrivals, Li Qingqing got up and walked over, saying to the two: "You've finally arrived; I've been waiting so long that I'm starving..." Li Tangyu, with a smile on his face, said: "Didn't you say last time you wanted to eat Spirit Feathered Chicken? We specially brought one over for you. Spirit Feathered Chicken isn't easy to find, which is why we only just arrived now." Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing's eyes lit up as she exclaimed: "I knew my brother treats me the best." "Brother Lin Jing..." Then, Li Qingqing turned to Lin Jing and said: "I want roasted Spirit Feathered Chicken, the kind that's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sizzling with oil. You promised me..." "No problem..." Lin Jing said. At this moment... Huang Qingling also stood up and walked over, unable to hide her eagerness as she asked Li Tangyu: "Tan Yuyi..." "Did Little Sparrow frighten you when it went to call for you?" Li Tangyu said: "Was it you who taught it to stealth attack? It almost scared me..." Huang Qingling rolled her eyes upwards and replied: "I didn't. It learned that on its own." Seeing Huang Qingling refuse to admit it, Li Tangyu sighed and continued: "Lucky for me, Brother Zhang warned me in time to be on guard. Besides, I feel like Little Sparrow has become smarter and even more formidable than before." Lin Jing grew curious and then turned to ask Zhang Yuan: "Brother Zhang, how did you detect Little Sparrow's sneak attack?" Zhang Yuan answered: "The Cultivation Technique I practice is quite special, so I was able to sense Little Sparrow in advance." "I see..." Lin Jing nodded, realizing this must be the Cultivation Technique Zhang Yuan had been practicing recently with the Zhang Family Patriarch. At this time, Li Tangyu spoke up again, seriously saying: "This Little Sparrow is now very formidable. It was only when it got within five meters of me that I noticed it." "Brother Zhang and I have discussed this matter... "With its current ability, if it were to launch a sneak attack, Little Sparrow could silently take down a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage']." Next to him, Zhang Yuan also nodded in agreement. Next, Li Tan Yu turned his head to look around but did not see Little Sparrow's figure, and then said: "Where's Little Sparrow, not here now?" "Little Sparrow? It got scared by Qing Qing and hid after Qing Qing came to settle the score with it..."" Li Tan Yu: "Okay then..." ...... At this point, Lin Jing looked up at the sky and noticed that dusk was approaching, time was getting late. So he turned around and said to the others: "Let's not talk about Little Sparrow's issue for now." "It's getting late now, let's start prepping quickly before it gets completely dark." "Alright...!" Following that, the group headed to the kitchen where Li Tan Yu and Huang Qingling took out the ingredients from the Storage Bag, and then they all got busy. In no time, the ingredients were all prepared, and now it was Lin Jing's turn to showcase his skills... ... ... Almost an hour had passed before the feast was finally ready. Then, the dishes were served, and everyone took their seats. Just after sitting down, Li Qingqing couldn't wait and started to divide up the fragrant Spirit Feather Chicken among everyone. Lin Jing also poured a cup of wine for each person. Right after taking a sip, Li Tan Yu spoke: "Brother Lin, the Offering Priest task for Yuebaolou, as I recall, should be handed in today, right?" "Have you completed it?" "Not to hide from Brother Li, I've barely managed to complete it," said Lin Jing. Li Tan Yu continued: "Brother Lin's Alchemic Talent seems to be extraordinary too. In just a few months, you've been able to complete the Yuebaolou's task on your own." Lin Jing quickly waved his hands in modesty and said: "Brother Li, you flatter me..." "Compared to you, I still have a long way to go." "Brother Lin, you're far too modest. My achievements are mainly attributed to my family's support, unlike you who rely solely on yourself." At this moment, Huang Qingling couldn't watch this anymore and interjected: "Alright you two, just toast each other and stop being so modest." Embarrassed, Lin Jing and Li Tan Yu didn't know what to say. Then, Lin Jing picked up the wine jug and poured each of them a cup. "Please..." Afterward, both drank up in one gulp. At this juncture, Huang Qingling continued to question Li Tan Yu: "Qing Qing mentioned earlier that there was some bullying involving the younger members of your family. What happened?" Li Tan Yu placed his wine cup down and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Two disciples from our respective families were gathering Spirit Grass on the outskirts of the Night Mist Mountain Range when they were robbed." "Fortunately, the two were only deprived of their belongings and weren't injured." Upon hearing about the robbery, Lin Jing was shocked and suddenly thought of Little Sparrow. "It couldn't be such a coincidence..." Lin Jing thought to himself. Turning to look at Huang Qingling, he noticed that her expression was similar to his, and the two inadvertently exchanged glances. Lin Jing then swiftly asked: "Someone dares to rob the disciples of your families? Who would be behind this action?" After hearing this, Li Tan Yu shook his head. "No specific force..." "To be precise, neither of them saw the person who robbed them..." "Didn't see the person who robbed them..." Lin Jing exclaimed in shock. Then he couldn't help but wonder, "Could it really be Little Sparrow who did this?" Li Tan Yu nodded and said: "Yes, they mentioned that someone yelled 'This is a robbery,' using a very fast Black Artifact to attack them." "The attacker only ruined their clothing but did not harm them, using this as a threat to make them hand over their possessions." "Seeing the attacker's significant cultivation, they could only oblige..." "And they also mentioned that the voice of the robber was very strange, somewhat..." Li Tan Yu paused for a moment, then continued: "Unpleasant to listen to..."
