Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

"Originally, we were only going to Linxian City for other matters, but then we heard that Ning Yue's family was looking for her." "After asking around, we finally understood the reason." "It turned out that Ning Yue's grandfather's old illness had relapsed, and his remaining days were few; he wanted to find her to inherit the Ning Family's legacy." "The Ning Family's legacy?" "Didn't Ning Daoyou previously..." Lin Jing did not continue, but the others understood. In the past, Ning Yue had eloped with someone. By that logic, being expelled from the family would be considered lenient. If another family encountered such a thing, they probably would have directly captured and executed her. That the Ning Family did not capture her and bring her back was already an act of magnanimity and mercy on their part. "Could it be that the Ning Family lacks talents, with no other suitable candidates?" Lin Jing asked, puzzled. Wei Zhengqing replied: "It's more or less like that. In the past hundred years, talents have dwindled in the Ning Family, and they have gradually declined." "Especially this generation, apart from Ning Yue, not a single person has met the requirements to inherit the Ning Family's Alchemy Dao legacy." "The Ning Family is an Alchemy Dao lineage, naturally honoring those with Alchemic Cultivation Level the highest, and Ning Yue had already shown a talent that far exceeded her peers." "Had she not come here, she would probably already have been nurtured by the family to inherit the Ning Family's Inheritance Elixir Technique." "Actually, it's not only Ning Yue in the Ning Family, she has two older male cousins." "However, those two cousins, having insufficient Alchemic Talent, were fond of drinking and reveling all day, not ambitious at all." "Moreover, they abused the Ning Family's remaining influence to cause trouble everywhere." "Old Master Ning was extremely disdainful of them and naturally would not hand over the Ning Family's legacy to them." Having said this, Yan Xiong suddenly interjected, speaking indignantly: "It was those two brats who secretly conspired to ambush us." "When old Yan gets back, I'll surely skin them alive!" After speaking, Yan Xiong picked up a bowl from the table, poured himself some liquor, and then downed it in one gulp. "It becomes more frustrating the more I think about it." "Them?" Lin Jing first glanced at Yan Xiong and saw that he was only focused on drinking his sorrows away, with no intention of continuing the conversation. Then he turned his head to look at Wei Zhengqing. "Yes, them." "We originally planned to go to the Ning Family and inform Old Master Ning about Ning Yue's whereabouts, but we didn't get to see Old Master Ning." "Unexpectedly, we were spotted by those two brothers." "They recognized me, and apparently, they also didn't want Ning Yue to return." "So, after we left, they brought people and set up an ambush for us on the road." "If Ning Yue doesn't return, that means there will be no one in the Ning Family, and the successor of the Ning Family's legacy would have to be chosen from those two." Yan Xiong slammed the table, saying: "Those two despicable wretches, if they inherit the Ning Family, it's almost certain that the Ning Family will be ruined by their hands sooner or later." "Such despicable tactics; if Wei Zheng hadn't made a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage at the critical moment, both of us might have died there." With this, Lin Jing also understood. No wonder Wei Zhengqing came back with serious injuries. Lin Jing thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Will you encounter danger on the way back, that is to say, will they ambush you on the way?" "Rest assured, Brother Lin," Yan Xiong said with a smile: "Old Wei, Miss Ning, and I have already discussed it. This time on our return, we plan to take a detour to Qishan City first." "There is a Teleportation Array in Qishan City, which can take us directly to Linxian City. Although it's more expensive, it's much safer." "Once we're in Linxian City, they wouldn't dare to pull any tricks." "When we reach Linxian City, I'll definitely deal with those two brats." "Big Bear!" Wei Zhengqing called out to Yan Xiong. "You mustn't act rashly when we get there. Remember, we are helping Ning Yue return to the Ning Family." At this point, Ning Yue spoke: "Zhengqing, Yan Xiong, don't worry." "Once I'm back at the family, I will definitely seek justice for you all." ...... The meal continued into the late night. During that time, Luo Luo learned that Lin Jing would not be traveling with them, which saddened her greatly. In the end, it was Ning Yue who, with a mix of cajoling and deceiving, managed to soothe her to sleep. "Lin Daoyou," said Ning Yue. "I am very grateful for your care all this time." "When you found Luo Luo lost on the street and brought her back, that was the first time." "Then, you saved my daughter and me from the jaws of the Flame Poison Centipede, and that was the second time." "Lin Daoyou, you've saved us twice." "I, Ning Yue, am overflowing with gratitude." As she spoke, Ning Yue bowed deeply to Lin Jing. "You mustn't do this; please get up, Ning Daoyou," Lin Jing hurriedly helped Ning Yue to her feet. "Lin Daoyou, I have no way to repay such a life-saving favor..." "Now that Wei Zhengqing and Yan Xiong are here, I would like to ask them to be witnesses." Lin Jing looked at Ning Yue, not knowing what she was planning. "Why would you need someone to witness..." Lin Jing was puzzled. Wei Zhengqing and Yan Xiong were also confused. They looked toward Ning Yue, unclear about what she intended to do next. Under the gaze of the three men, Ning Yue produced a Jade Slip and said: "This is the alchemic technique passed down in my Ning Family. Didn't you ask me about this matter before?" "With this alchemic technique, your efficiency in alchemy will greatly increase and it will also reduce the consumption of your Divine Sense energy." "I plan to pass this alchemic technique on to you." "This..." Lin Jing hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Ning Daoyou, as far as I know, alchemic techniques from alchemic families are never passed outside. It isn't quite right for you to do this." "Besides, even if you agree, what about the many people from the Ning Family? Would they agree?" At this point, Wei Zhengqing also frowned, looking at Ning Yue, and said: "You need to think carefully. Are you certain about doing this?" "This relates to the legacy of the Ning Family. Just as Brother Lin said, you might be willing to give it to Brother Lin, but what about those in the Ning Family? Your grandfather, for instance, they surely won't agree." "If this causes trouble for Brother Lin, wouldn't it be bringing harm to him instead?" Yan Xiong also advised from the side: "Miss Ning, this is no small matter, please reconsider carefully." Ning Yue shook her head, then spoke again: "I have thought it through." "This alchemy technique might be precious." "But..." "Compared to Brother Lin's life-saving grace, it counts for nothing." "Moreover, this alchemy technique isn't the entirety of the Alchemy Dao inheritance." "As long as I receive the true Inheritance Elixir Technique of the Ning Family and become the heir of the Ning Family's Alchemy Dao, I will have the authority to pass on this technique to others." "Of course, the condition is that it cannot be passed to enemies or members of other alchemy families." "So..." "Lin Daoyou, please accept it with peace of mind." Wei Zhengqing frowned with concern, "Are you confident that you can inherit the Ning Family's Alchemy Dao legacy? Your two cousins will not let you succeed so easily." Ning Yue nodded with confidence: "A few days ago, when I refined the Pure Body Restoration Pill, I felt that my understanding of Alchemy Dao had deepened a lot." "If nothing goes wrong, I am now a third-grade Alchemist." "Once I reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, I will be able to try refining third-level Elixir Medicines." "Third-grade Alchemist, my goodness!" Yan Xiong exclaimed in amazement. Ning Yue nodded her head. "So..." "That's why I have absolute confidence in inheriting the Ning Family's Alchemy Dao legacy."
