Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Firstly, the materials needed for refining the Foundation Building Elixir, Clear Accumulation Elixir, and Gathering Yuan Pill needed to be purchased. Previously in the black market, he had taken a liking to someone's Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon, and the deal between them had not yet been completed. He wanted to refine the elixir medicine needed by the other party, which also required a large amount of materials. In addition, he planned to stock up on materials for refining the Wound Healing Elixir and Restorative Elixir as well. The Wound Healing Elixir was used for healing injuries. And the Restorative Elixir was for quickly recovering spiritual power after battles. With Demonic Beasts attacking, these two types of elixir medicine were very important. He assumed their prices would skyrocket. Lin Jing then thought about the Spirit Plants in the System Space that were used for refining Energy Gathering Pills, which had matured by now. Originally, he had wanted to refine a large number of Energy Gathering Pills to increase his cultivation. However, it was only when he failed in his recent breakthrough attempt that he realized he could not rely solely on elixir medicine to advance; he also needed to meditate and improve his Divine Sense Realm. So, he could not increase his level in a short time. As a result, Lin Jing decided to sell most of these materials, only keeping a small portion enough for his practice. However, even if he wanted to sell them, it wasn't for now; naturally, he would wait until the material prices had increased before selling them. As for what Spirit Plant to grow in the System Space afterward, he had not decided yet. He could only wait a few days, see what was available in the Fang Market, and then decide. Apart from that. Lin Jing felt that even in the Fang Market now, it wasn't very safe—a single Flame Poison Centipede had caused such great casualties. That incident made Lin Jing aware of the dangers outside. If another beast tide occurred someday, and a few more Demonic Beasts broke in, with his current strength, wouldn't he be dead? Therefore, he needed to earn more Spirit Stones to prepare early. Next time he encountered Demonic Beasts, he'd try to kill them with a Talisman; if that didn't work, he would directly buy a Forbidden Artifact. A Forbidden Artifact was akin to a one-time use Magical Treasure with enormous power. Lin Jing heard that the power of some Forbidden Artifacts was comparable to one attack from a Golden Core Cultivator. However, those Forbidden Artifacts were not cheap. But, as long as he had enough Spirit Stones, he could definitely buy them. ...... At noon, Luo Luo woke up. Not long after, Ning Yue also woke up. Lin Jing told Ning Yue about the earlier events; Ning Yue wanted to return the Spirit Stones to Lin Jing but he refused. Since it was noon already and their house had collapsed, naturally, they couldn't cook themselves, so the two took Luo Luo to a restaurant in the Fang Market and had a meal. After eating, the three of them strolled around the Fang Market. Due to the collapse of their house, some of the household items were unusable, so they bought some necessities for daily life. It wasn't until dusk that they returned. When they reached the outskirts of the Fang Market, their house had been repaired, looking as if it was newly built. Mr. Jiang's words were indeed correct. They were professionals indeed, and the speed was very fast. In the evening, Lin Jing entered the System Space and began to bustle around. "System prompt: Congratulations, host has harvested one acre of Spirit Plants, reward: 5 Harvest Points." "System prompt: Congratulations, host has harvested one acre of Spirit Plants, reward: 8 Harvest Points." "System prompt: Congratulations, host has harvested one acre of Spirit Plants, reward: 5 Harvest Points." ... ... ...... Overnight, Lin Jing had harvested eighteen acres of Spirit Field. There were two more acres planted with Three-Leaf Spirit Grass which Lin Jing specifically left to continue growing, waiting for the day they transformed into Five-Leaf Spirit Grass. These eighteen acres of Spirit Field earned Lin Jing a total of 99 Harvest Points. Together with those he had before, he now had a total of 232 Harvest Points, taking another step closer to the System Space upgrade. As for the harvested Spirit Plants, Lin Jing calculated that if he sold them all, they would be worth about 4000 Spirit Stones. Of course, that was at the current price, If he waited a few more days after the price of alchemy ingredients increased, they would be even more expensive. Moreover, these Spirit Plants would need to be dried for a while before they could become alchemy ingredients. The System Space was the best place for that. The next day, Lin Jing went to the Fang Market alone again, visited a few shops, and incidentally bought some alchemy ingredients. Then the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day. Lin Jing went to the Fang Market every day, and unconsciously, he spent nearly all his Spirit Stones. He only saved a few hundred Spirit Stones as a reserve. Since the materials for second-grade Elixir Medicine were quite expensive, Lin Jing didn't actually buy much, all alchemy ingredients together amounted to just over 500 portions. Almost exactly 100 portions for each type of Elixir ingredient. ...... After buying the Elixir, Lin Jing didn't idle, and he entered the System Space that evening, ready to start Alchemy. As usual, sitting in the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing first calmed his mind and allowed himself to settle down. A stable mental state greatly aids Alchemy. Lin Jing first processed all the Spirit Plants, then kindled the fire, and sequentially threw the alchemy ingredients into the Pill Furnace. Finally, he sealed the furnace and carefully controlled the flame. The refining time for second-grade Elixir Medicine was much longer than for first-grade ones; a furnace of Elixir Medicine took about an hour. Therefore, the requirement for Alchemists' Divine Sense was very high; other Alchemists only dared attempt to refine second-grade Elixir Medicine in the late stage of Qi Refining. Lin Jing was different; he had a 20% increase in Divine Sense strength from the Alchemy Room, and even though he was at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, there was no problem in refining second-grade Elixir Medicine. During Alchemy, one must focus entirely, oblivious to the passage of time. Soon, half an hour had passed. At this time, Lin Jing's forehead was dripping with sweat; perhaps because it was his first time refining second-grade Elixir Medicine, the process seemed particularly draining. Lin Jing felt that he was at his limit. Nevertheless, he clenched his teeth and endured. Just as the Elixir Medicine was about to be formed, Lin Jing suddenly felt a blur, followed by... "Bang" A loud explosion; the Pill Furnace burst open. Lin Jing was hit by the blast and flew backward, crashing heavily against the wall. "Puh" He spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell limp to the ground. ...... After a long while... Lin Jing barely regained some strength and struggled to sit up. Looking at the messy scene in front of him, Lin Jing silently pondered: "Is second-grade Elixir Medicine this difficult? Could it be that mid-stage Qi Refining truly isn't sufficient for refining it?" Previously, in conversations with Elder Yu and Ning Yue, both had said that one needed to be at least at the late stage of Qi Refining to attempt refining second-grade Elixir Medicine. When Lin Jing asked why, both gave the same answer: due to the intensity of Divine Sense required during Alchemy, if one's Divine Sense isn't strong enough, it's impossible to perform Alchemy. Lin Jing had not taken this to heart before, especially after the Alchemy Room was upgraded to level two. The 20% increase in Divine Sense strength made his alchemy unstoppable and even quite effortless. Hence, back at the black market, he had been so arrogant as to declare that he would gather all the necessary Elixir Medicine within a year. But with the current situation...
