Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Having finished his reflections, Elder Yu pulled out a Storage Bag and took out a dark grey Array Plate from it. "It's quite dangerous for you in the outer Fang Market, so I'm lending you this Array Plate for now." "Elder Yu..." Before Lin Jing could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Elder Yu. "Kid, don't beat around the bush. I'm lending it to you, not giving it to you." "Take it!" Lin Jing looked at Elder Yu and was filled with a warm sense of gratitude. "Alright." Lin Jing reached out and took the Array Plate from Elder Yu's hand. The Array Plate was covered with dense Formation Patterns and had five indentations on top, which were meant for placing Spirit Stones. The Array Plate would only be activated when the Spirit Stones were in place. "This defensive Array Plate was specially made for me by an Array Master. It's embedded with several sets of composite formations and has astonishing defensive capabilities." "Don't be fooled by its appearance. As long as the attack is not stronger than that of a Golden Core Stage, this Array Plate can withstand it." After speaking, he took out five Mid-Grade Spirit Stones from the Storage Bag and handed them to Lin Jing. "Here, these are specifically for activating the Array Plate." "Elder Yu, it's not necessary, I have my own." Lin Jing took out a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone he'd gotten from selling Seven-Star Grass earlier and showed it to Elder Yu. "How many could you have? Take these, the Array Plate consumes five Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to activate once." Having said that, without waiting for Lin Jing to react, he stuffed the Spirit Stones into Lin Jing's hand. Then he continued to advise Lin Jing: "Little Lin, the consumption of Spirit Stones by this Array Plate is not slow. Placing the Spirit Stones can only last for half an hour, and if someone attacks, the duration will be even shorter." "You must pay attention. As soon as the Spiritual Power is insufficient, quickly replace the Spirit Stones." "Yes, I will remember," Lin Jing nodded. "Thank you, Elder Yu." ...... After leaving Elder Yu, Lin Jing went to the Talisman counter and bought a few Second-Rank Talismans for backup. His cultivation was too low now, and it definitely wouldn't improve significantly in the short term. Even the Fang Market was not very safe nowadays, so he had no choice but to rely on these external objects for protection. However, fortunately, he could now refine Elixir Medicine for sale, so he basically wouldn't lack Spirit Stones. After buying the Talismans, Lin Jing returned home. With the Array Plate given by Elder Yu, Lin Jing felt much more at ease. Next, it was time to start refining Elixir Medicines. "Enter System Space," Lin Jing thought silently. Immediately following, his vision blurred, and he appeared inside the System Space. In the Spirit Field of the System Space, Spirit Plants had already sprouted and were growing vigorously. Standing by the field and looking out, he saw a lush and refreshing green sight. These Spirit Plants had been planted for a month, shortly after harvesting Seven-Star Grass. Lin Jing noticed a rising trend in the price of Alchemy Ingredients, so he planted these to be used for Second-Rank Elixir Medicine. Sure enough, in just one month, the price of Alchemy Ingredients had nearly increased by half, almost doubling compared to before. Now, these Spirit Plants have been planted for a relatively short time. To harvest them, he would likely need to wait another half year. Whether the price of Alchemy Ingredients will decrease again by the time these Spirit Plants mature, Lin Jing didn't know. However, judging by the current situation, it seemed very unlikely. After spending some time at the Spirit Field to check the growth status of the Spirit Plants and seeing no abnormalities, he felt reassured and entered the Alchemy Room. In the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing sat cross-legged on the ground and first composed his mind. Then he began the Alchemy process. As usual, Lin Jing skillfully handled the ingredients, made the fire, and when the time was ripe, he started adding the ingredients into the Pill Furnace… This set of movements, smooth and flowing like water, had been repeated countless times by Lin Jing, to the point of mastery. ... ... ... As time ticked by, minute by minute, Lin Jing reached the critical final moments of his alchemy. Unlike his first time, Lin Jing, now experienced, was far from panicked. His gaze was steady as he fixed his eyes on the Pill Furnace. Although fine beads of sweat still appeared on his forehead, he was yet far from his limit. Apparently, the extended period of alchemy had strengthened his Divine Sense as well. A while later, the fragrance of the pills wafted from the Pill Furnace, and the System notification chimed in at that moment. "Elixir Refining Successful, Alchemy Proficiency +24." After that, there was silence, indicating that he had not produced any Flawless Elixir Medicine. Upon opening the Pill Furnace, he found two Superior Grade, three Medium Grade—a total of five Rejuvenation Elixirs. This time, he didn't even manage to refine any Supreme Grade ones. Lin Jing sighed and collected the Elixirs. After completing the alchemy, Lin Jing knew it was time to sit in meditation to recover his energy. He wasn't at his limit yet, but he was close. In his current state, any further refining would surely end in failure. "System." Lin Jing summoned the System. "Exit System Space." Then, with a blur in front of his eyes, Lin Jing reappeared in his room. For the next few hours, he would need to meditate and rest well to recover his energy. ...... Once Lin Jing had recovered, he entered the System Space once again. This time, he did not continue refining the Rejuvenation Elixirs. Intending to complete part of the Fang Market's alchemy task, Lin Jing set to work. This session, he refined three batches of pills and felt not a hint of fatigue afterward. From the three batches, he produced a total of twelve Elixir Medicines. He was in luck, having obtained one Flawless and two Supreme Elixirs. These Flawless and Supreme Elixirs, Lin Jing had no intention of handing over; he planned to sell them himself. Lin Jing estimated that he could make a tidy sum of Spirit Stones once the Fang Market task was completed. After all, even First Rank Elixir Medicines were quite expensive. Moreover, someone else was providing the materials, so he didn't need to spend his own Spirit Stones. In the following days, Lin Jing's routines remained the same. Until the day news spread that the Golden Core Cultivators from various families within the Fang Market took action, venturing deep into the Night Mist Mountain Range to investigate the truth behind the monster crisis. Before that, they had directly charged into the Demonic Beasts' gathering grounds and, with the ferocity of a thunderbolt, slaughtered a great many beasts on the spot. The anticipated beast tide had disintegrated before it even began. With that, the crisis was temporarily averted. People everywhere cheered and spread the news, heaping praise on the Golden Core Cultivators. With the threat of the beast tide gone, life temporarily returned to tranquility, evidenced by the increasing number of people on the streets. However, Lin Jing hadn't left his house even once during this time. It was Ning Yue who came specially to inform him that the crisis had been resolved. When Lin Jing learned of this, half a month had passed since his bet with Li Tangyu. Yet, Lin Jing still hadn't refined the Flawless Pure Body Restoration Pill. However, he had completed the alchemy task assigned by the Fang Market. But of the 200 sets of alchemy ingredients, he still had more than half unused. With the bonus from the Alchemy Room, his chances of failing to refine First Rank Elixir Medicines were slim. In addition, he had managed to refine an impressive total of 12 Flawless Elixir Medicines of the First Rank. It had to be said, a 20% success rate for creating Flawless Elixir Medicine was indeed frightening. For every batch where two Supreme Grade Elixirs appeared, there was a 20% chance they would be upgraded to Flawless Elixir Medicine. Furthermore, the Alchemy Room also augmented the chance of improving the quality of Elixir Medicines. With these bonuses, his odds of refining Supreme Elixirs were much higher than others.
