Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

"Young Master Li." The man in black greeted the youth in luxurious clothes with a hand-clasped bow. It seemed the man in black also recognized him. "Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities," the youth in luxurious clothes said with a gentle smile. Then he turned to look at Lin Jing: "I've been watching you for a while now…" "Since you took out that Pure Energy Gathering Pill." Lin Jing looked baffled, wondering why this youth in luxurious clothes was paying attention to him? After saying this, the youth in luxurious clothes continued: "Let me introduce myself first." "My name is Li Tangyu. I'm a member of the Li Family, a family of the Alchemy Dao. I most enjoy discussing Alchemy Techniques with others." "The Li Family of the Alchemy Dao?" Lin Jing suddenly remembered that Elder Yu had mentioned that the Li Family was the only Alchemy Dao family in Fang Market. And the Li Family's old patriarch was the only Fourth-Grade Alchemist in the entire Nanshan Market. "So it's Fellow Daoist Li," Lin Jing said with a bow. "May I ask why Fellow Daoist Li is taking an interest in me?" Lin Jing asked, puzzled. "Because of the Elixir Medicine!" Li Tangyu began. "Previously at your stall, you had a Pure Energy Gathering Pill, which someone took away in a trade just now." "However, what surprised me was that afterwards, you directly took out this Pure Blood Coagulation Pill." "Of course, someone with a bit of ability can produce two Flawless Elixir Medicines; that alone isn't anything special." "The main point is…" "If I'm not mistaken, both of these Elixir Medicines were refined recently, and there wouldn't be more than a month between the two." "Fellow Daoist, am I right?" After finishing, Li Tangyu looked at Lin Jing with a smile. The man in black, upon hearing Li Tangyu's words, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Lin Jing. One month, two Flawless Elixir Medicines… This caused his previously calm heart to start pounding again. He knew Li Tangyu; Li Tangyu was from the Li Family, a family of the Alchemy Dao, and moreover, he was the young master of the Li family. Apart from that, Li Tangyu possessed amazing Alchemical Talent and was a Second-Grade Alchemist. And, rumors said his accumulation was already enough, and it wouldn't be long before he advanced to a Third-Grade Alchemist. Without going into the rest, merely in terms of understanding Elixir Medicine, there were probably no more than a handful of people in the market who could surpass him. When he said no more than a month, it was definitely no more than a month. "Indeed," Lin Jing nodded in acknowledgment. With Lin Jing's confirmation, Li Tangyu laughed: "Just as I thought." Then, fearing Lin Jing might misunderstand, he quickly explained: "Don't take it wrong, fellow Daoist. I'm simply obsessed with the Alchemy Dao and can't help but observe when I encounter Elixirs. It's not that I was singling you out." After hearing this, Lin Jing pointed at the man in black, and frowned: "But…" "Fellow Daoist Li said just now that, apart from me, no one could produce the Elixir Medicines he wanted. What did he mean by that?" "Because, fellow Daoist, within a short month, you were able to refine two Flawless Elixir Medicines, and there might even be more than two…" "Then there's only one possibility…" "That is, you can increase the success rate of refining Flawless Elixir Medicines." Li Tangyu's eyes were fiery as he stared at Lin Jing, his tone very certain. Lin Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he was abruptly startled. "Could it be that even this can be discerned?" "The Flawless Elixir Medicines I've refined are improved by the System; there shouldn't be any flaws, right?" Li Tangyu's certainty made Lin Jing feel a wave of uncertainty in his heart. Equally startled was the black-clad young man. He, too, was familiar with the art of Alchemy Dao, and alchemy techniques that could enhance the success rate of pill refining were indeed a bit exaggerated. However, unlike Lin Jing's reaction, his heart grew increasingly fervent. "If that is truly the case, then the Pure Body Restoration Pills he needs are within reach." Upon thinking this, the black-clad man became excited. Then, they heard Li Tangyu continue, "If I'm not mistaken, fellow Daoist, you must be a successor of the Ancient Alchemy Path, "I wasn't certain before whether the Ancient Alchemy Path had been lost, but after seeing you, I'm sure you're undoubtedly a successor of that ancient tradition." "Because only the Elixir Techniques from the Ancient Era could increase the success rate of Pure Elixir Medicines." Upon hearing this, Lin Jing finally took a breath of relief. "So he thinks I'm a successor to the Ancient Alchemy Inheritance." Lin Jing neither admitted nor denied but was deep in thought. Could he use the identity of a successor of the Ancient Alchemy Path to refine Pure Elixir Medicines? That way, should he bring out more Pure Elixir Medicines in the future, nobody would suspect him. But that led to another issue: his identity needed to be even more secret. If he accidentally exposed his true identity, he would be in danger. Seeing Lin Jing offer no rebuttal, the black-clad man bowed to him and said, "Please, fellow Daoist, assist me in refining a Pure Body Restoration Pill. On the day of the pill's success, I shall reward you handsomely." However, Lin Jing still did not respond, and both men remained stationary, waiting for Lin Jing's answer. After a long while, Lin Jing spoke, "One month, I'm not very confident." The black-clad man immediately became overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist." "It's all right. If it truly can't be refined, it's just fate, and I won't blame anyone." "Rest assured, fellow Daoist, as long as you can refine the Pure Body Restoration Pill, I will present you with 10,000 Spirit Stones; and if not, I will still give you 2,000 Spirit Stones as compensation." It was then that Li Tangyu also spoke, "How about we add a wager with me as well?" "I'd like to bet against you, fellow Daoist. I will also begin refining elixirs when I return, specifically the Rejuvenation Elixir." "Within the same month, I wish to see how the Inheritance Elixir Techniques of the Li Family compare to the Ancient Alchemy Path." "What do you think, fellow Daoist?" Li Tangyu's gaze was serious, looking at Lin Jing, and by his expression, it didn't seem like he was joking. Lin Jing frowned; he was not very inclined to compete in Alchemy Technique. "Young Master Li, let's not go ahead with this elixir competition," said Lin Jing. Li Tangyu was initially stunned, then pondered for a moment: "Perhaps as a successor to the Ancient Alchemy Path, you also wish to avoid revealing your identity, which is why you've come to the black market." "Rest assured, fellow Daoist, only the three of us will know of this matter; it will not be divulged. And your identity is safe too since this black market is very secure and won't reveal information carelessly." "It is just that coming across a practitioner of the Ancient Alchemy Path, I couldn't help but wish to witness it myself. I hope you can grant me this." Seeing Li Tangyu's sincere gaze and understanding that the man was obsessed with the path of alchemy and likely trustworthy, Lin Jing agreed. "Very well, then." Li Tangyu's eyes shone with a visibly bright light. "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for obliging." "Since it's a bet, let me add a little something extra," he said as Li Tangyu took a wooden box from his Storage Bag and opened it directly. Lin Jing looked, and inside was a pit that resembled a peach pit. It was the core of a Stay-Youth fruit which, if the conditions were right, could grow into a Stay-Youth fruit tree; however, the tree had stringent growth requirements and was nearly impossible to cultivate successfully. Nevertheless, even so, this Stay-Youth fruit pit was quite valuable, worth about twenty to thirty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones. "Fellow Daoist, if you win, this Stay-Youth fruit pit is yours," "And if I happen to prevail, you need not give anything; I will give you 1,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones as thanks." Such a deal seemed too good to be true; win or lose, he wouldn't be at a loss. Lin Jing didn't quite know what to say for a moment.
