Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space - Chapter 339

Chapter 339: Chapter 41 Helping Lin Jue

Lin Jing then simply waved his hand and said to the fair-skinned young man,

“Don’t be nervous; I am well aware of that.”

He understood that the fair-skinned young man must have misunderstood his words.

Lin Jing certainly knew that he couldn’t possibly have the Lin Family’s alchemy heritage.

Because that alchemy heritage was in Lin Jing’s own hands.

After that.

Lin Jing spoke again, asking the fair-skinned young man,

“How many Spirit Stones do you owe those two people in total?”

Upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, the fair-skinned young man first paused, then fell silent for a while before he replied,

“Previously, Grandfather borrowed a total of sixty Midium Grade Spirit Stones from them. After Grandfather died in an accident, I repaid them ten Spirit Stones. Now, I still owe them fifty Midium Grade Spirit Stones.”

After speaking, the fair-skinned young man bit his lip and said,

“I don’t know, senior, what would you like me to do?”

“I know the Elixir Medicines I refine are not worth many Spirit Stones and will not catch your esteemed eye.”

“If senior desires that Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass, then I am afraid I will not be able to fulfill your wish.”

Lin Jing first shook his head, and then said to the fair-skinned young man,

“I don’t want anything else, just a few drops of your blood. Rest assured, it won’t harm you…”

“And additionally, I will give you a certain compensation, enough to clear your debt to those two people.”

“Would you be willing?”

After finishing his words, Lin Jing stared intently at the fair-skinned young man, waiting for his reply.

Lin Jing wanted his blood just to learn whether he was truly a Descendant of the Lin Family.

If it turned out to be so, given Lin Jing had time, he might well take care of him a bit.

If not, then he would consider it as having built good karma.

After all, a few dozen Spirit Stones were at most trivial to Lin Jing.

The fair-skinned young man first examined Lin Jing and then lowered his head to ponder for a while.

Following that…

The fair-skinned young man looked at Lin Jing and nodded,

“Alright, I trust senior.”

With that, the fair-skinned young man extended a hand toward Lin Jing and then said, “Please, senior…”

Lin Jing nodded and then reached out, a strand of Spiritual Power emerging from his fingertip and directly wrapping around the fair-skinned young man’s hand.

Next.

This Spiritual Power swept over, and a wound appeared on the young man’s hand, from which crimson blood immediately flowed…

Lin Jing first enveloped the spilling blood with Spiritual Power and brought it in front of him.

Then, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his Storage Bag and filled it with the blood.

To ensure he had enough, Lin Jing took the liberty of collecting a bit extra.

Once the blood was securely bottled, Lin Jing used Spiritual Power to seal the young man’s wound.

The wound wasn’t large and would heal on its own in a few hours.

After putting away the small porcelain bottle, Lin Jing then took out another small Storage Bag from his own and placed a hundred Midium Grade Spirit Stones inside it.

He then tossed it directly to the fair-skinned young man.

“I took a bit more blood and thus compensated you with some extra Spirit Stones,” Lin Jing said afterward.

The fair-skinned young man caught the Storage Bag Lin Jing threw over.

He quickly reached inside, and soon afterward, he looked at Lin Jing with a shocked expression,

“Senior, are… are these all for me?”

Lin Jing nodded and said,

“We agreed earlier. Take it.”

Upon hearing this, the fair-skinned young man couldn’t contain his joy and quickly said to Lin Jing,

“Thank you, senior.”

Lin Jing waved his hand and replied, “No need, this was merely a transaction.”

Having completed this, Lin Jing saw that his objective had been achieved.

Immediately after.

He exchanged a few more words with the fair-skinned young man before leaving the place.

After leaving, Lin Jing continued to stroll around the Fang Market.

Returning to the busy area he visited before, Lin Jing looked through each stall one by one, and even visited a few shops along the streets.

After this excursion.

Lin Jing had a basic understanding of the price levels at the Bihai City Fang Market.

In the Demonic Monster Sea, due to its richer Spirit Vein resources compared to the Nanming Domain, the prices of items were also quite different.

For example, a Foundation Building Elixir of ordinary quality would cost between two to three thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones in the Nanming Domain.

But in Bihai City, it could sell for nearly a hundred Midium Grade Spirit Stones.

Most importantly, although the Demonic Monster Sea was rich in resources, it consisted of islands, which led to the scarcity of Spirit Fields, and Low-Tier Spiritual Plants could not be cultivated on a large scale.

Because of this, the prices of Low-Tier Elixirs remained high.

However, in this Fang Market.

Lin Jing unexpectedly discovered that one of the shops even sold Cultivation True Elixirs required for advancing to the Golden Core Stage.

This wasn’t like the Nanming Domain, where, although Low-Tier materials could be cultivated, the High-Grade Spiritual Plants required for refining Cultivation True Elixirs were hard to find in the Nanming Domain.

This made crafting a batch of Cultivation True Elixirs considerably difficult there.

By contrast, the Demonic Monster Sea was quite different; its expanse was unusually vast, its resources abundant, and even the concentration of Spiritual Energy was much denser than in the Nanming Domain.

Therefore, it was more suitable for the growth of High-Grade Spiritual Plants, which were significantly better than those in the Nanming Domain.

Moreover, within the Demonic Monster Sea, there were many Secret Realms and ruins, within which one could find an even greater number of High-Grade Spiritual Plants.

Nonetheless.

Although the resources of the Demonic Monster Sea were plentiful, correspondingly, there were also more Cultivators.

“`

Therefore, elixirs like the Cultivation True Elixir, which are essential for advancement, are exceptionally valuable…

…

…

Lin Jing had been wandering around the Fang Market for a full four hours.

Just when Lin Jing was about to leave,

suddenly, someone came looking for him.

It was that dark-skinned youth.

“Senior… Senior…” The dark-skinned youth, seeing Lin Jing, ran over with a face full of joy.

Not until he reached Lin Jing’s side did he start speaking, panting:

“Senior… Senior…”

“Bother… could you please help Lin Jue, he… he’s been bullied.”

Lin Jue was the fair-skinned youth suspected to be a descendant of the Lin Family.

Lin Jing frowned and asked, “What exactly happened?”

“Senior, it’s like this…”

…

…

Afterward, the dark-skinned youth began to recount the events.

…

…

“That’s roughly the situation; I hope the senior can help Lin Jue,” he concluded, after a while.

By the end, his tone was nearly pleading. It seemed their relationship was quite good; otherwise, the youth wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.

Lin Jing also came to understand the whole story.

It turns out, after Lin Jing left,

the fair-skinned youth Lin Jue packed up his stall and, taking the Spirit Stones Lin Jing had given him, went to repay the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

He had thought everything would go smoothly.

But unexpectedly, those two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, disregarding the previous friendship with his grandfather, shamelessly claimed that the Spirit Stones had been stolen from them.

Since everyone was clear about Lin Jue’s previous circumstances, even though he tried his best to explain, no one believed the stones were earned by him.

In the end,

it was the quick-witted dark-skinned youth who thought to find Lin Jing and ask him to bear witness.

After Lin Jing had understood the situation, he said to the dark-skinned youth directly:

“Where are they? You lead the way.”

The dark-skinned youth’s face lit up with joy, and then he quickly bowed in thanks:

“Thank you, Senior. Please follow me.”

Having said that, he led the way out of the Fang Market.

Lin Jing followed at a leisurely pace.

After leaving the Fang Market, they headed south and, after some time on the road, Lin Jing, following the dark-skinned youth, finally arrived at the southwest corner of Bihai City.

Along the way, perhaps due to his urgency, the dark-skinned youth kept accelerating.

If it hadn’t been for the flight prohibition in Bihai City, he would have probably taken out a sword to fly—that’s how concerned the dark-skinned youth was for his friend.

However, no matter how fast the dark-skinned youth went, Lin Jing was still able to keep pace with him effortlessly.

Upon arrival in the southwest corner of Bihai City, Lin Jing discovered that even such a bustling city held such inconspicuous corners.

This entire southwest area was like a slum, where countless low-level cultivators gathered.

The alleys here were narrow, houses old and low, and it was particularly crowded—even less spacious than the outskirts of Nanshan Market they had been in before.

When Lin Jing arrived, the cultivators he encountered on the road quickly made way for him, even fearful of breathing loudly near him.

Most people here were in the Qi Refinement Realm, with a few in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but not many.

For Lin Jing, a Golden Core Cultivator, his presence naturally caused an inexplicable panic among the others, so much so that cultivators who had been chatting on the road now fell silent.

Continuing down the alley, just as they were about to exit, Lin Jing heard arguing voices ahead.

“My Spirit Stones were obtained through a transaction with a senior; they were not stolen,” a slightly immature voice argued loudly.

By the sound of it, the person arguing was the fair-skinned Lin Jue.

From his voice, one could even discern Lin Jue’s suppressed anger and the unfair treatment he was enduring.

“You shouldn’t bully me too far…”

As soon as Lin Jue finished speaking, another voice followed:

“Lin Jue, at such a young age, you not only steal but also dare to quibble. Despite my previous consideration for your grandfather’s sake in taking care of your elixirs business…”

“Yet you treat us like this, it’s utterly disheartening. Is this how you honor your late grandfather?”

“Fellow Daoists, tell me, isn’t that right?”

Lin Jing heard this voice loud and clear.

It was from one of the cultivators who had taken Lin Jue’s elixirs back at the market.

As soon as this person finished speaking, a clamor of various noisy reactions followed.

Listening carefully, most of the noises were accusations against Lin Jue, with only a very few people defending him…

Following that,

Lin Jing stepped out of the alley with the dark-skinned youth.

Exiting the alley led to a dead end of a street, which was much broader than the alley.

A crowd of people was gathered at the end of the street, and the voices just heard were coming from that group.

At that moment,

the dark-skinned youth dashed towards the crowd, shouting as he ran:

“Make way, please make way…”

“The senior who traded with Lin Jue and gave him Spirit Stones has arrived…”
