Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

"Look at these people, most of them are here to find the Blood-Red Zhu Fruit Rootstalk..." Li Tangyu said, pointing to a cultivator not far away who was cleaning up broken stones and wood scraps on the ground. "Of course, there are also some other people who, I guess, are like Brother Lin, knowing nothing and just joining in on the excitement..." Lin Jing looked at Li Tangyu with concern and asked, "Your grandfather is injured, how is he? Is the injury serious?" Li Tangyu replied, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Lin..." "My grandfather is doing okay, the injury isn't that severe..." "But for others, it doesn't seem quite so optimistic..." "According to what my grandfather said, especially Elder Zhang Yuan from his family and his uncle who had just advanced to Golden Core not long ago." "It's said that both of them are severely injured..." "Because of this, when we went to find Zhang Yuan, the Zhang Family was still extremely busy, and he was not in the mood to hunt for treasure with us, so we came here..." "I see, I hope their family will be fine..." Lin Jing sighed deeply. "Yes, if there wasn't a Golden Core Immortal to support them, I'm afraid the whole Zhang Family would be in danger..." Li Tangyu followed with a deep sigh. Then, as if Lin Jing remembered something suddenly, he spoke up and looked at Li Tangyu, asking, "Right, Brother Li..." "I also heard from others that the Demonic Beasts ran out from the Demon Race Secret Realm, is that right?" Before, Lin Jing was only guessing and wasn't certain if the Demonic Beasts were indeed from the Demon Race Secret Realm, and now seemed like the right time to ask Li Tangyu. After all, Li Tangyu's grandfather was personally involved. Li Tangyu then said, "That demon cultivator, indeed, was discovered while exploring the Demon Race Secret Realm." "However..." "My grandfather didn't tell me the specifics of what happened." "So, I don't know much either..." "I see..." Lin Jing nodded. "Since that Demon Race Secret Realm is so dangerous, did your grandfather and the other Golden Core Immortals reseal the realm?" Li Tangyu nodded and said, "Yes..." "To prevent similar incidents from happening again, my grandfather and the others have resealed that entrance." "And..." "They have now informed the Qingyuan Sword Sect and plan to leave the remaining matters to the Qingyuan Sword Sect to handle." After speaking, Li Tangyu followed with a sigh, "Sigh..." "Let's not talk about that anymore." "Those are matters beyond our ability to intervene..." "Let's keep looking for the Blood-Red Zhu Fruit Rootstalk." "Although the rootstalk's value is not as great as a complete Blood Red Vermilion Fruit, as a third-tier Spirit Plant, it's still quite valuable." "If the conditions are right and it can be planted, the value of the Blood-Red Zhu Fruit Rootstalk can be much higher than that of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit." Huang Qingling and Li Qingqing both nodded in agreement, "Exactly..." "Searching for the rootstalk of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit is the main task..." Soon after... The group started digging in the ground as well. During this time, Lin Jing kept seriously searching for that black soil; perhaps his luck had run out, as he couldn't find it again... Until the sun was slanting westwards, getting close to evening, when most of the cultivators looking around had left, the group discussed and decided to leave on their swords. Right up until they were about to leave, Li Qingqing was still complaining. "I don't know which lucky fellow stepped in dog shit and found that Blood-Red Zhu Fruit Rootstalk." Seeing his sister unhappy, Li Tangyu quickly spoke to comfort her, "That Blood-Red Zhu Fruit Rootstalk might have been destroyed by the aftermath of the battle, you never know..." "To gain it is my fortune; to lose it, my fate." "Don't think too much..." "Okay..." Li Qingqing pouted. Meanwhile, Lin Jing, who had already obtained the rootstock of the Blood-Red Zhu Fruit, was bowing his head in silence. "Hmm." "This matter, no one can tell..." ...... After returning to the small courtyard. Lin Jing couldn't wait and immediately entered the System Space with that bit of black soil from the Secret Realm. Upon arriving at the Spirit Field, Lin Jing dug a hole in the soil covering the Blood-Red Zhu Fruit and then placed the small bit of black soil in it, burying it together with the Zhu Fruit. As soon as the black soil was put in, a system prompt reached Lin Jing's ears. "System prompt: An external special Secret Realm soil component is detected in the Spirit Field, detecting..." (Note: Detection successful, can activate the Secret Realm environment simulation.) Hearing the system prompt, Lin Jing felt a sudden surge of joy inside. "Could it be, is this going to work?" However, before Lin Jing could celebrate for long, the system prompt sounded again: "System prompt: The soil sample is too small, detection failed, unable to activate the Secret Realm environment simulation." This system prompt quickly calmed Lin Jing's somewhat agitated heart. After a while... Lin Jing looked at the Blood-Red Zhu Fruit Tree in the Spirit Field, which he had planted not long ago, and shook his head helplessly. Then, adjusting his mood, Lin Jing left the Spirit Field. "It seems..." "In the future, if I want it to grow, I'll have to personally visit the Secret Realm to get some soil samples." "Next, let's focus on alchemy..." Lin Jing thought to himself. ...... Time flew by in the blink of an eye. And just like that, three months had passed. A lot had happened during these three months. Firstly, there was the aftermath of the Demon Race Secret Realm. After that Demon Cultivator was slain, the Golden Core Cultivators in Fang Market also paid a hefty price. Since Elder Master Li was the least injured. So... Aside from Elder Master Li, the others were all recuperating from their injuries and were hardly seen in Fang Market anymore. Even Zheng, the new Attendant of Yuebaolou, was no exception. After the battle that day, he delegated his duties to Steward Cheng and then went into seclusion to recover from his injuries. He hasn't come out of seclusion to this day. Additionally, a piece of bad news came from the Zhang Family. It was that Zhang Yuan's newly promoted Golden Core uncle had succumbed to his severe injuries and passed away. Some time ago, Lin Jing and Huang Qingling, on behalf of Elder Bai, followed Li Tangyu to visit the Zhang Family to express their condolences and to see how Zhang Yuan was doing... However, Zhang Yuan hasn't been in a good state during this period, though fortunately, it didn't seem to be anything serious. The few could only offer him some comfort before leaving. Ever since Fang Market informed the Qingyuan Sword Sect about the Demon Race Secret Realm. The Qingyuan Sword Sect immediately sent people to explore the Secret Realm. After the investigation, the Qingyuan Sword Sect even dispatched people to guard the entrance of the Secret Realm, not allowing anyone to approach... The Qingyuan Sword Sect's vigilance lasted for three months... However, the situation soon took an unexpected turn. At first, no one felt anything was amiss. But as time wore on and the Qingyuan Sword Sect was still guarding the entrance of the Demon Race Secret Realm without withdrawing, and with no news coming from the Secret Realm during this time, people gradually began to wonder...
