Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

"Yes," Lin Jing replied. "Fellow Daoist, I am Yu Yan, having just joined Yuebaolou as an Offering Priest Pill Master. I am unaware of your distinguished name. Perhaps in the future, we can exchange insights on the path of alchemy." As Yu Yan spoke, the Pill Master surnamed Wang beside him nudged him. Yu Yan looked up in confusion, not understanding why. "Lin Jing." Lin Jing stated forthrightly. "I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now. Farewell!" After speaking, Lin Jing walked past the two men. It was only after Lin Jing had gone far that the Pill Master surnamed Wang said to Yu Yan: "No need to bother with him." "Fellow Daoist, why say such a thing?" Yu Yan asked, puzzled. "Aren't we all Offering Priest Pill Masters at Yuebaolou?" "We will inevitably run into each other in the future, so what's the harm in exchanging some ideas?" The Pill Master surnamed Wang expressed disdain: "He's merely a First-Grade Pill Master. What good is there in interacting with him?" Yu Yan, equally surprised, asked: "A First-Grade Pill Master?" "Aren't Offering Priests at Yuebaolou required to be at least Second-Grade Pill Masters? How did a First-Grade Pill Master become an Offering Priest?" The Pill Master surnamed Wang glanced back at Lin Jing, then leaned a bit closer to Yu Yan, and whispered: "Who knows? I haven't heard that he's from any notable family. Perhaps he has some special connections." "But..." "A First-Grade Pill Master is still just a First-Grade, nothing notable until he becomes a Second-Grade." "He's not one of us, so why bother with him? We just focus on refining our own elixirs." The two talked as they slowly walked away. ...... After collecting his alchemy ingredients, Lin Jing talked with Elder Yu for a while before returning home. Once home, Lin Jing rested for a while. Then, he summoned the System and entered the System Space. "Open the system panel." Upon entering the System Space, Lin Jing immediately summoned the system panel. System Space (Level 2) Remaining Time: 28 hours (Accumulable: 200 hours) Host: Lin Jing Spirit Field Range: 20 acres Spiritual Energy Density: 2 Flow of Time Speed: 2 Daily Entry Time: 4 hours Upgrade Needed: (497/500 Harvest Points) Special Functions: Alert, Observation, Time Accumulation. In two months, Lin Jing had refined quite a few Flawless Elixirs, nearly accumulating enough Harvest Points. Just 3 points shy, he could upgrade the space again. Then, he opened his personal information panel. His panel information starkly appeared. Lin Jing (24/90) Spiritual Root: Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root (Low Grade) Cultivation: Qi Refinement Fifth Level (2%) Cultivation Techniques: Qingyuan Dao Method (Second Floor), Qingyuan Sword Control Technique (Proficient), Controlling Fire Technique (Minor Achievement), Ning Pill Technique (Alchemy Technique, non-upgradeable) Sub-Occupation: Second-Grade Alchemist (3687/10000) "Qi Refinement Fifth Level." Indeed, half a month ago, Lin Jing had already reached the Fifth Level of Qi Refinement. However, instead of continuing to consume elixirs to increase his Cultivation, he chose to first solidify and stabilize his Cultivation level. His Alchemy Proficiency had also increased substantially due to the continuous practice of alchemy during this period. Through long periods of alchemy, even his Controlling Fire Technique had reached a minor achievement level. Following this, Lin Jing closed the panel and headed to the Alchemy Room. Ready to start alchemy. Just 3 Harvest Points away from upgrading, Lin Jing didn't want to delay. After some thought, he decided to first refine a First Rank elixir. If he could produce a flawless one, he could immediately upgrade the space. Next, Lin Jing took out the materials he had already prepared, processed them accordingly, started a fire, and one by one, put the materials into the Pill Furnace... Afterward, Lin Jing began using the alchemy technique passed on to him by Ning Yue, and started refining elixirs. This method of alchemy was unlike the cultivation techniques in complexity; it was easy to learn and could be mastered proficiently after being used several times. Therefore, after Ning Yue handed over the jade slip to Lin Jing, it only took him a few days to learn it before he returned the slip to Ning Yue. With this method, Lin Jing found refining elixirs much easier than before. ...... Soon, less than half an hour had passed... A system prompt arrived. "Elixir refining successful, alchemy proficiency +5." The elixir was successfully refined, but it did not yield any Flawless Elixirs. Nevertheless, Lin Jing was not in a hurry and directly started the next batch of refining. Because he used the alchemy method, Lin Jing didn't consume much energy, and when refining first rank elixir medicine, he could even do so without resting. Lin Jing prepared everything and continued refining. ...... Another nearly half an hour passed, and the system prompt sounded again. "Elixir refining successful, alchemy proficiency +7." This time was quite good; he had produced a Supreme Elixir. But he still did not produce the Flawless Elixir that Lin Jing needed. This time, Lin Jing took a brief rest to adjust his state. He continued refining... "Elixir refining successful, alchemy proficiency +8." The success continued, this time yielding two Supreme Elixirs. Unfortunately, there were still no Flawless Elixirs. Now, Lin Jing, already a Second-Grade Alchemist, refined first rank elixirs with considerable proficiency, especially with the enhancement of the alchemy room, basically ensuring no failures. Despite three batches without producing any Flawless Elixirs, Lin Jing just took a deep breath, remaining as calm and composed as ever. After all, to produce a Flawless Elixir was quite fortunate for others. Unlike Lin Jing, who could almost wholesale them. In his Storage Bag now, he had about twenty to thirty various Flawless Elixirs, not including those he had already consumed or sold. ...... Next, he continued refining... All preparations in place, Lin Jing began another batch of refining. ... ... This time seemed especially long, with Lin Jing completely focused, managing the flow of medicinal liquid inside the Pill Furnace. Meanwhile, he carefully controlled the flames. Just as the elixir was about to be completed, its fragrance permeating the entire alchemy room. "Ding." A system prompt arrived. "System notification: Congratulations host on refining a Flawless Elixir, reward: 5 Harvest Points." "Elixir refining successful, alchemy proficiency +15." Heaven does not betray the diligent, and he had finally produced a batch of Flawless Elixirs. Lin Jing smiled in satisfaction and stored the elixirs. He then opened the system panel. Lin Jing looked at the requirements for leveling up. Level-up required: (502/500 Harvest Points) The Harvest Points were full, and behind the space level, there appeared a plus sign. Lin Jing did not hesitate, placed his hand on the plus sign, and gently tapped it… "Ding." Another system prompt arrived. "System notification: System Space now upgrading, please temporarily leave the space within." "Duration of this upgrade: 2 hours." "Please wait patiently, host." Subsequently, Lin Jing was teleported out. The teleported Lin Jing was puzzled; he clearly remembered not being teleported out during the last upgrade. This time, he was forcibly teleported out. "Could it be that some new function has been activated?" Lin Jing couldn't help but ponder.
