Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

This meal, Huang Qingling ate with such relish. Even Little Sparrow was stuffed with two big chunks of roast meat, which happened to be its favorite. Little Sparrow had been wronged this time, so naturally, Lin Jing couldn't neglect it. Seeing how well Lin Jing treated Little Sparrow, Huang Qingling's eyes twinkled, and she spoke up: "Lin Jing, I see that you and Little Sparrow—you two have a good bond." "How about this..." Lin Jing lifted his head, looking towards Huang Qingling, a face full of puzzlement. "What do you mean?" "From now on, you will make the food for Little Sparrow. You can't let it run around outside anymore." "Otherwise, if someone catches it again and sends it back to me, I'll have no face to meet them." Lin Jing could only laugh and cry: "Qing Ling, my friend, it's not that I don't want to, but I have to practice alchemy every day and don't have that much time to stay in the kitchen." "I know that, you just need to take out a little time each month, just four or five meals a month is enough," she continued, and then Huang Qingling added another sentence: "And, I will supply the ingredients." "Qing Ling, my friend, to be honest, is it that you want to eat?" Lin Jing looked at Huang Qingling with a suspicious face. "Umm..." Huang Qingling's face turned red, and she quietly hummed in agreement. The reason Huang Qingling did this was that she used to frequently visit Lin Jing for free meals, something Elder Bai became aware of and lectured her about. After that, she realized it was inappropriate and felt embarrassed to disturb Lin Jing carelessly. "Alright then..." Seeing Huang Qingling like that, Lin Jing couldn't bear to refuse and spoke helplessly. Huang Qingling smiled very happily: "Hehe... I knew it, you are the best, Lin Jing." "Don't worry, since you'll be cooking for me, from now on in Fang Market, I've got your back, and no one will dare to mess with you." "Mmm..." Lin Jing responded and did not take it to heart. ...... After the two had eaten, Huang Qingling still had to find Elder Bai to deal with the matter of Little Sparrow's theft, and so she left first. Meanwhile, Lin Jing tidied everything up and continued with his alchemy. Lin Jing rarely practiced alchemy in the outside world, and even the Alchemy Room behind his house had only been used a few times by him. Fortunately, now that his System Space had been upgraded to level 3, he could enter for 6 hours a day, and with the triple Flow of Time Speed, that amounted to 18 hours each day. Now, he didn't have to worry about not having enough time at all. ...... In the afternoon, Huang Qingling came back. Through what Huang Qingling shared, Lin Jing found out. It turned out that Little Sparrow had been caught stealing in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion before, but the person who caught it knew that it was Elder Bai's pet given to Huang Qingling, gave it a lesson, and let it go. And Elder Bai knew about this too, but in the eyes of people like him, these things were minor issues; he didn't even inform Huang Qingling about it. As for the subsequent incidents of Little Sparrow stealing again, Elder Bai's response was very straightforward. "If Little Sparrow gets caught, we'll admit it. Since it wasn't caught, what's there to admit?" Hearing Elder Bai's words, Huang Qingling was also at a loss for words, not knowing what to say. After all, except for the Drunken Immortal Pavilion where a Golden Core Cultivator was in charge, it was feared that no one else in other taverns and restaurants could catch Little Sparrow. Thus, the matter came to an end, but Little Sparrow was still warned by Huang Qingling and forbidden to go out and steal at night again. After all, she did not want a day to come when Little Sparrow was caught and she would have to personally go and apologize. Although Little Sparrow was very fast, one cannot be too careful—just in case... After sharing this with Lin Jing, Huang Qingling left with Little Sparrow. ...... And so, two more days passed. That day, Lin Jing had just finished his cultivation practice and opened his eyes. It was about time. Lin Jing got out of bed and opened the door. Although it was night outside, everything was still brightly illuminated by the snow-white light. "Hoo…" A piercing cold wind carrying white snowflakes blew on Lin Jing, and the chill instantly attacked, penetrating through his clothes and burrowing deep inside. Lin Jing hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique to expel the chill. The agreed period of a year with someone was also fast approaching. And the medicinal pills that the cultivator who sold The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon needed, he had also already gathered. Tonight, he was preparing to go to the black market to complete the transaction set a year ago. However, Lin Jing hadn't yet left his house. When a shadow flew in. Lin Jing turned his head to look, and the shadow was Little Sparrow. Little Sparrow had in its mouth a lively, wriggling fish, but it was unknown where it had gotten it from. "Little Sparrow…" "Didn't Qing Ling forbid you from stealing things? Why did you go and steal again?" Little Sparrow opened its mouth, shaking its head. The fish dropped to the ground and kept flopping about. Lin Jing looked at the fish on the ground and said, "Do you want me to cook it for you to eat?" Little Sparrow's eyes lit up, and it nodded vigorously. However, at this moment, a clear and crisp voice came. "Little Sparrow…" Before the sound fell, a beautiful figure flew over, directly blocking Little Sparrow inside the house. "Qing Ling, did you chase after it here?" Lin Jing asked the beautiful figure. The person who had just flown in was indeed Huang Qingling. "Lin Jing, I'm really sorry for troubling you." "I had just finished meditating this evening when I found it gone." Then Huang Qingling glared at Little Sparrow and said: "Luckily, I'm smart and had earlier placed a tracking mark on it, otherwise, with my speed, I would have lost it long ago." Seeing Huang Qingling arrive, Little Sparrow's head drooped down immediately. "Aren't you going to come with me?" Huang Qingling yelled, and Little Sparrow had no choice but to obediently fly over to her side. Even the fish on the ground was left unattended. Seeing this, Lin Jing also felt a bit pitiful. "Forget it, it looks quite pitiful, and since it brought the ingredients, I might as well cook it." Upon hearing this, Little Sparrow's eyes brightened, and it let out a call. "Chirp…" After that, it circled around Huang Qingling, flying back and forth. "Lin Jing…" Huang Qingling said, slightly embarrassed. "I really appreciate it." "It's nothing…" Lin Jing said with a smile. Then he suddenly asked, "By the way, where did this fish come from?" "After I disciplined it last time, it hasn't dared to steal food again. This fish, it caught from the river in Fang Market." "It's learned how to catch fish?" Lin Jing said in surprise. "I only found out today as well." Huang Qingling said helplessly, looking at Little Sparrow. "Qing Ling, take a seat first. I'll go handle this. Fish doesn't take as long as other dishes to prepare." With that, Lin Jing picked up the fish and headed for the kitchen. In no time, a fragrant grilled fish was served. Lin Jing placed the grilled fish on the table. Little Sparrow was about to pounce, but Lin Jing stopped it. "Little Sparrow, let's get one thing straight. You can't come to disturb me at night anymore. If you want me to cook for you, you must come during the day, when I'm not busy." "And…" "If you want me to cook a delicious meal for you in the future, you must bring something else in exchange. You need to understand the principle that you have to give something to get something in return." "Moreover, you can't just steal things from others wantonly; it can easily cause trouble for Qing Ling." "Do you understand?" Lin Jing said sternly, looking at Little Sparrow, who tilted its head as if contemplating.
