Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Having returned to Yuebaolou, Elder Yu first took Lin Jing to process his Offering Pill Master's Identity Token, then introduced several stewards of Yuebaolou for Lin Jing to get acquainted with. Afterward, together with Lin Jing, he went to the administrative office of the Inner Fang Market and exchanged his Outer Fang Market's Identity Token for one belonging to the Inner Fang Market. In the afternoon, led by Elder Yu, they arrived at Huang Qingling's dwelling. They first greeted Huang Qingling and then, together with her, arrived at the courtyard she had mentioned. As soon as they entered the courtyard, the rich Spiritual Power enveloped them, making Lin Jing feel extremely comfortable. Although, the Spiritual Energy here was not as abundant as at Elder Bai's place. Nonetheless, it was comparable to the courtyard where Steward Li from the Qingyuan Sword Sect had lived. The three of them continued inward, and the space suddenly opened up, revealing that it was actually a double courtyard. Furthermore, there was a small garden inside the courtyard. Although the garden wasn't large, inside there was everything from artificial hills to fish ponds, and even a pavilion under a willow tree that swayed with the breeze. It was currently summer, so taking a short rest in the pavilion after tiring from alchemy must be quite pleasant indeed. This courtyard was much better than the one Lin Jing had before in the Outer Fang Market. Elder Yu introduced it with a smiling expression, "How is it? Pretty good, isn't it?" "This is the treatment befitting an Offering Pill Master. As long as you become an Offering Pill Master for Yuebaolou, everyone gets a set of courtyards like this." "Hmm..." Lin Jing nodded. "This place is indeed nice." Elder Yu continued to explain, "Moreover, living here doesn't cost anything, as long as you complete the monthly Alchemy Tasks on time." "Of course, even if the Alchemy Tasks assigned to you are completed successfully, there will be Spirit Stone rewards." "There's no need to worry about that aspect." After hearing this, Lin Jing asked Elder Yu, "Elder Yu, may I ask how many Alchemy Tasks are there each month?" Elder Yu pondered for a moment before answering, "For you, if there are no surprises, it should be 150 pieces each month." "Of course, if you exceed that amount, you can also sell them to the tower, and it will purchase them at the market price." "150 pieces, hmm... not too many..." Lin Jing thought to himself, "The tasks issued by the Fang Market before were 150 pieces, and I completed them in half a month. After finishing these 150 pieces, I'll be able to continue refining Second Rank Elixirs." "However..." Elder Yu's tone shifted as he spoke, "These 150 pieces have certain requirements. The least should be Medium Grade Elixir Medicines, and there are also demands for Supreme Elixirs. Normally, out of these 150 Elixirs, at least 10 must be Supreme Elixirs." "Of course, you are a special case. Elder Bai said he would personally arrange your tasks." "Also, if you fail to complete the Alchemy Task three times in a row, it's very likely that your Offering Pill Master status will be revoked." "Remember this well." "I understand, Elder Yu," Lin Jing nodded. "That's about it for now, there's nothing else. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me directly." "Okay..." Lin Jing nodded again. After that, the three of them took a tour inside the room, with Lin Jing feeling quite satisfied. Upon leaving the house and following a gravel path around the building, they came to the back where there was, to his surprise, an Alchemy Room. Elder Yu pointed to the Alchemy Room and said, "This Alchemy Room is equipped with a soundproofing Formation and Defensive Array. From now on, you can do your alchemy right here." "In addition, there's a special kitchen." After saying this, Elder Yu smiled at Lin Jing and said, "Previously, that girl Luo Luo mentioned that you cook well. You can also make some food yourself when you have spare time." Upon hearing this, Huang Qingling's eyes lit up, she looked at Elder Yu and asked, "Really?" Then she turned her skeptical gaze towards Lin Jing. Elder Yu spread his hands and spoke helplessly, "I've only heard about it; I've never tasted it myself," he said, smacking his lips afterward. Lin Jing couldn't help but smile wryly; he hadn't expected that an offhand comment from Luo Luo would still be on Elder Yu's mind. "Elder Yu, how about this: today was rushed, and I didn't prepare in time." "Come over tomorrow, and I'll make a feast for you to taste, how about that?" After Lin Jing finished speaking, he leaned in close to Elder Yu and whispered: "I'll also prepare a few jars of your favorite 'Green Flower Brew' for that time." Elder Yu immediately beamed with joy: "Good..." "Can I come along too?" Huang Qingling asked with longing eyes. "Of course, if Daoist Qing Ling doesn't mind, you can join us when the time comes." Lin Jing said with a smile as he looked at Huang Qingling. "Alright, then it's settled," Huang Qingling was very happy, then it seemed she suddenly remembered something, turned her head sharply, and looked at the two: "Do you need me to bring any ingredients when I come?" Lin Jing smiled slightly: "You don't need to bring anything, just come with an empty stomach." "Mm-hmm..." Huang Qingling nodded vigorously, like a pecking chicken. Afterward, the tour of the courtyard was finished, and Elder Yu had to return to Yuebaolou, so he left first. And Lin Jing as well, now that the courtyard was settled, needed to move all his personal belongings over. After saying goodbye to Huang Qingling, the two departed. ...... On the road, they walked at an easy pace, and Elder Yu told Lin Jing a lot more about Yuebaolou. They didn't part ways until they arrived in front of Yuebaolou. After parting with Elder Yu, Lin Jing went straight back to his own yard in the Outer Fang Market. After busying himself for a while, he finally got all his personal items sorted out and packed into his Storage Bag. Then he looked up again. The previously slightly cramped room now felt considerably emptier. This was the second time he had moved since crossing over into this world. But this move was different from the first. This time, he was moving in a positive direction, and with that thought, Lin Jing felt much better inside. He then stepped out of the house and, looking at the neighboring yards, felt melancholic once again. Sitting on a stone stool under a tree in the yard, Lin Jing scanned the surroundings and couldn't help but reminisce... Even though he hadn't lived here for long, there were still quite a few memories. The friends he had made here had all left, and even their courtyards had been returned to the Fang Market. "I wonder how they're doing now..." Lin Jing couldn't help but think of Wei Zhengqing, Ning Yue, Yan Xiong, and finally Luo Luo... He had no idea when they would meet again. Especially little Luo Luo, who had no Spiritual Root – she would probably just have to live like an ordinary person, get married, have children, and then just go through life that way. Perhaps, that was the best outcome for her... At this moment, a warm crimson light bathed Lin Jing's face. Lin Jing looked up, and it turned out that it was already dusk, with the sun slanting westward... The entire sky was dyed a crimson color by the setting sun, everything looking so beautiful... It was just like before when he first brought Luo Luo back home... Then, Lin Jing got up, walked out of the courtyard, and reached for the door. Just as the door was about to close, he took one more look inside. After that... With a "bang," the door shut tight. Lin Jing then turned and walked towards the outside of the alley, the setting sun stretching his shadow long... A man and his shadow, slowly fading into the distance...
