Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space
Chapter 169: Investigation
"What you're dealing with there is the real issue, my test isn't urgent..." Lin Jing said.
Li Tangyu nodded, and then immediately responded:
"Alright, Brother Lin, we'll take our leave now..."
"We still need to take Little Sparrow back to see my grandfather and the others."
"Okay..."
Lin Jing replied.
After saying goodbye to Lin Jing, the two of them left with Little Sparrow.
After seeing the two off, Lin Jing returned to the courtyard and not long after, he entered the System Space to continue alchemy.
......
Time flew by, and soon two days had passed.
That day, Lin Jing was engaged in alchemy inside the System Space, but a warning from the system came through.
"Warning!"
"Someone has intruded into the alert range. Please host respond in time."
At this moment, Lin Jing was at a critical juncture in his alchemy and didn't have the spare time to pay attention, so he ignored it and continued to focus his spirit on refining the Elixir Medicine.
It wasn't until a quarter of an hour had passed that Lin Jing finished refining this batch of Elixir Medicine.
After the Elixir Medicine was done, Lin Jing immediately packed it away, and then spoke:
"System."
"Enter Observation Mode."
After that, Lin Jing's perspective shifted to above the small courtyard.
He then moved his viewpoint toward the entrance but didn't see anyone there.
"It seems they must have seen no one was around and left already..." Lin Jing muttered to himself without much concern.
Then he turned his viewpoint around to check the surroundings of the courtyard, found nothing unusual, and exited Observation Mode.
Fearing that someone might come looking again, Lin Jing ceased his alchemy and immediately left the System Space.
After that, Lin Jing began to meditate and cultivate inside the house.
About half an hour later, Lin Jing, who was meditating, suddenly heard a noise from outside.
He opened his eyes and swept his Divine Sense outside.
To his surprise, he discovered it was Little Sparrow outside.
"It seems that the system warning earlier must have been because of Little Sparrow..." Lin Jing thought to himself.
Little Sparrow had returned at some point, indicating that the exploration of the Demon Race Secret Realm had ended, which was why she had been released to come back.
At that moment, Little Sparrow was perched at the entrance to Lin Jing's home, calling inside.
"Little Sparrow, you're here..." Lin Jing responded.
He then got up, walked over, and opened the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Little Sparrow flew out, clutching Lin Jing's sleeve in its beak.
Lin Jing was initially stunned before he realized and said to Little Sparrow:
"Little Sparrow..."
"Is it the person I asked you to track, has he gone to a new location?"
Like a pecking chick, Little Sparrow nodded its head.
"Alright, I'll follow you now..." Lin Jing said.
"It must be said, Little Sparrow is truly dedicated, having just finished scouting—without even seeing me, she has directly gone to track."
"Little Sparrow, you are indeed busy..."
Then Little Sparrow led the way, with Lin Jing quickly following behind.
In this manner, Little Sparrow led Lin Jing out of the alley and then across the bustling streets of Fang Market.
Eventually, they came near a mansion with towering gates, and looking ahead, Lin Jing saw that this compound was the Liu Clan.
Lin Jing then halted.
Afterward, Little Sparrow gestured towards the Liu Clan repeatedly, signaling to Lin Jing.
"Little Sparrow, are you saying that person went into this compound?" Lin Jing asked Little Sparrow.
After hearing this, Little Sparrow nodded.
The Pill Master with the surname Wang had actually entered the Liu residence.
Then, Lin Jing fell silent for a moment before saying to Little Sparrow,
"Little Sparrow, there is no need for you to follow him anymore. Go back for now and come find me tonight. I will give you the Elixir Medicine then."
Little Sparrow cocked her head, looked at Lin Jing for a while, then flew away directly.
"Could this Pill Master surnamed Wang really be colluding with the Liu Clan?"
"Was he sent by Liu Yiyuan?"
Lin Jing had speculated this before, but he couldn't be sure.
After all, the actions of this Pill Master surnamed Wang were just too abnormal without any cause.
As the saying goes, when something is abnormal, it is a sign of trouble.
Therefore, he had Little Sparrow follow this Pill Master surnamed Wang.
The reason Lin Jing had Little Sparrow return first was also to better eavesdrop on information.
However, the Liu Clan was heavily guarded, and Lin Jing certainly couldn't get in.
Furthermore, there was a Wu Cai Immortal inside.
So...
He did not plan to enter but would use another method to investigate.
During this time using Observation Mode, he gained new insights into it.
Observation Mode was the best for eavesdropping on information.
Because it allowed observation regardless of terrain obstacles, penetrating directly into any place. However, its only drawback was that Observation Mode had a range limit.
Lin Jing had to get close to the target he needed to investigate first. He must get as close as possible to the Liu Clan's courtyard.
Then, Lin Jing looked around...
Next to the west of the Liu Clan was another family's yard in the Inner Fang Market, with a narrow alley between the two houses.
Since the area was secluded, there were few others coming and going which made it rather quiet.
Seeing this alley, Lin Jing had an idea.
He first crossed the street and then, bypassing the entrance of the Liu Clan, he walked into the alley.
After turning two corners in the alley with no one around, Lin Jing summoned the System and entered the System Space.
As soon as he reached the System Space, Lin Jing began to call out to the system.
"System,"
"Enter Observation Mode."
Afterward, Lin Jing's viewpoint rose, appearing directly above the Liu Clan.
Next, Lin Jing controlled the observation viewpoint and started searching inside the Liu Clan's large courtyard.
However, the Liu Clan's courtyard was indeed large, and Lin Jing found that the area he could investigate with Observation Mode wasn't even half of the Liu Clan's property.
The range of Observation Mode was determined by the size of the Spirit Field in his Statistical Space.
His current Spirit Field was thirty acres, which meant that the maximum range Lin Jing could investigate was also this size, but even such a range only allowed him to see a small part of the Liu Clan.
And this was in the Inner Fang Market, indicating the Liu Clan's extraordinary strength...
Using Observation Mode, Lin Jing searched every corner he could reach, including the underground chambers.
Yet he did not see the Pill Master surnamed Wang, nor did he see Liu Yiyuan.
"No, it seems I need to change my position," Lin Jing thought to himself after completing his search.
Since the Statistical Space was centered on Lin Jing's location, and Lin Jing's current location was on the west side of the Liu Clan, he was unable to observe a significant area to the east.
To observe it, he would have to go to the east side alone, then enter the System Space to observe.
Then...
Lin Jing exited Observation Mode and left the System Space.
After leaving the System Space, Lin Jing followed the alley outside, and after turning two corners, he entered another alley.
Following the alley to the east, Lin Jing quickly arrived at the east side of the Liu Clan...
Then, at a spot where there was no one around, Lin Jing once more entered the System Space.
Next, Lin Jing activated Observation Mode and resumed his investigation.
In less than fifteen minutes, Lin Jing finally found Liu Yiyuan in one of the chambers.
At the same time, there was the Pill Master surnamed Wang standing opposite him...
"These two are indeed in cahoots..."
