Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 77: Termination of Lease



After returning to the small courtyard in the Inner Fang Market, Lin Jing took out his daily necessities and placed them one by one. By the time he was finished, it was already Hai Time. On his first day here, Lin Jing was not in a hurry to engage in alchemy, or cultivation. Instead, he took out the Flawless Sword that Wei Zhengqing had previously given him from his Storage Bag. Lin Jing had also thought about buying a Flying Sword as a Magic Artifact before, but these high-grade Magic Artifacts were each more expensive than the last. And he looked down on those of inferior quality, so he had always put it off. With this Flawless Sword, it could be said that it perfectly filled the void of him not having a Magic Artifact. Moreover, it was a Supreme Grade Flying Sword Magic Artifact, which could even be used until he reached the Golden Core Stage. However, since Lin Jing's current level of cultivation was too low, refining this Flying Sword would probably take some days. Thus, Lin Jing decided that his current task was to first refine this Flying Sword, and by then, not only would he have an additional method of attack, but he would also experience the sensation of flying through the heavens and earth. Lin Jing had always remembered this little wish of his. Thinking this, Lin Jing did not hesitate any longer and began the refinement process. ...... Early the next morning, Lin Jing left his home and headed for the Outer Fang Market. Now that he no longer resided in the courtyard there, he still had to speak to Manager Jiang of the Outer Fang Market. Upon arriving at the administration office of the Outer Fang Market, Lin Jing met Manager Jiang. "Manager Jiang," Lin Jing greeted him. Manager Jiang looked at Lin Jing and asked with a puzzled expression, "It's Lin Dao, brother, what brings you here today?" It was, after all, the first time Lin Jing had taken the initiative to visit him, so he was somewhat surprised. "Manager Jiang, I am not planning to live in that small courtyard anymore, so I came to tell you," Lin Jing said. "Lin Dao, brother, are you planning to leave the market to go to another major cultivation city?" In recent days, many people wanted to leave here to go to other major cultivation cities, something Manager Jiang was naturally aware of. He thought that Lin Jing might also be afraid of another attack from Demonic Beasts, and so planned to leave Nanshan Market. "Manager Jiang, you misunderstood, I am just planning to move somewhere else, not to stay here any longer," Lin Jing said. Upon hearing this, Manager Jiang couldn't help but sigh, "Ah..." "Lin Dao, brother, it's true that the market has been continuously increasing various charge collections due to the beast tide, causing many people to be strained financially. "I suppose, Lin Dao, brother, you too are running low on Spirit Stones, which is why you chose to move away from the market." "But at this time, other than the market, there probably isn't a safer place." After saying this, Manager Jiang moved closer and spoke, "I heard there are rumors within the market that some Sects around are recruiting people; could it be that Lin Dao, brother, you are considering joining them?" "You should be careful, Lin Dao, brother; those Sects might just be planning to recruit cultivators to help defend against the Demonic Beasts tide." "Joining them might not be as safe as staying with the market's Guard Team." After hearing what Manager Jiang had said, Lin Jing knew he had misunderstood, and quickly clarified, "Manager Jiang, you've misunderstood." "Actually, I'm not planning to go elsewhere; I am preparing to move to the Inner Fang Market." "The Inner Fang Market?" Manager Jiang stepped back, surprised. Then he scrutinized Lin Jing with a skeptical gaze, "Lin Dao, brother, don't joke; how could it be that easy to get into the Inner Fang Market?" "Especially at this time, many people want to move into the Inner Fang Market, but without someone to vouch for them, even if they have Spirit Stones, they can't get in." Lin Jing continued to explain, "Manager Jiang, not to hide it from you, I have now become an Offering Priest Pill Master at Yuebaolou, so…" "A Pill Master at Yuebaolou!!!" Manager Jiang was even more astonished. Then, Lin Jing took out the Yuebaolou Pill Master token and handed it to Manager Jiang. Manager Jiang reached out to take it and, after a long look, returned the token to Lin Jing, sincerely sighing, "I didn't expect, Lin Daoyou, that you would become a Second-Grade Alchemist so quickly." Lin Jing just smiled and did not offer much of an explanation. "Congratulations, Lin Daoyou." Previously, when the Fang Market had assigned tasks, Manager Jiang knew very well that Lin Jing was just a First-Grade Alchemist. As the saying goes, "Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river." But how much time had passed? He had already become a Second-Grade Alchemist and even an Offering Priest for Yuebaolou. Manager Jiang couldn't help but sigh again as he looked at Lin Jing. "Lin Daoyou, since you have already moved into the Inner Fang Market, we can naturally cancel your residence in the Outer Fang Market for you." "Just give me a moment, and I'll sort it out for you." Having said that, Manager Jiang greeted a young cultivator from the management office. Subsequently, the two began to get busy. Lin Jing couldn't help but wonder: "Shouldn't the matter of canceling the lease be as simple as informing Manager Jiang?" However, despite his confusion, Lin Jing did not show it outwardly and quietly waited instead. After a short while, Manager Jiang finished, came over, and said, "Lin Daoyou, we've calculated it, and there is a balance left from the rent you previously paid, which will now be refunded to you." As he spoke, he took out some Spirit Stones and handed them to Lin Jing. "Manager Jiang, this..." Lin Jing hesitated, as he had only come to inform Manager Jiang about the housing matter, yet there were Spirit Stones being returned. Previously, Ning Yue and Wei Zhengqing had merely informed Manager Jiang, and that had been enough without any Spirit Stones being returned. "Lin Daoyou, these are the overpayments you made on your rent. Now that you have moved to the Inner Fang Market and do not reside here, this amount has become surplus." "Take it." "Okay..." Lin Jing pondered for a moment, then accepted the Spirit Stones. Then, after chatting for a few more moments, Lin Jing bid farewell and left. No sooner had Lin Jing left than the young cultivator approached Manager Jiang. "Manager Jiang, who is he that you go to such lengths to assist him and even return those Spirit Stones to him..." "Wasn't it always..." The young cultivator wanted to continue, but seeing the look Manager Jiang gave him, he quickly held his tongue. Watching Lin Jing's departing figure, Manager Jiang spoke: "Do not underestimate him, he is now the Offering Priest for Yuebaolou." "Also, be mindful of your words in the future. Some things are better left unsaid..." The young cultivator quickly bowed his head and responded, "Manager Jiang, I will remember that." Then, looking at the departing Lin Jing, he felt a pang of envy. "To have become acquainted with an Offering Priest at Yuebaolou earlier would have been beneficial." ...... After leaving the Outer Fang Market management office, Lin Jing returned to the Inner Fang Market. He first toured the market, purchasing some food supplies, and then made a trip to Yuebaolou to visit Elder Yu. Elder Yu informed him that he would be over after finishing his work in the evening. Returning from Yuebaolou, Lin Jing went straight back to his courtyard. As it was still early, and there was no rush to prepare for the feast, Lin Jing took the Flawless Sword out of his Storage Bag and continued its refinement.
