Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space - Chapter 340

Chapter 340: Chapter 42 Lin Jue Gives Spirit Grass

As the dark-skinned youth’s words fell.

Immediately, everyone turned their heads and looked in their direction.

At this moment, Lin Jing did not conceal his cultivation.

When these people saw Lin Jing, they immediately felt the overwhelming aura of cultivation emanating from him.

Additionally, the demeanor produced by cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique, combined with Lin Jing’s stature, made him look immensely oppressive.

Seeing Lin Jing approaching, the previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

Lin Jing even saw the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, who had been very arrogant just now, their legs slightly trembling. After taking one look at Lin Jing, they quickly lowered their heads.

Lin Jing walked over and finally saw Lin Jue in the crowd, with a slight redness around his eyes.

At that moment, although his eyes were red, Lin Jue still clenched his teeth, staring steadfastly at those two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

“What happened?” Lin Jing asked Lin Jue.

Subsequently, Lin Jue relayed the events that had just occurred in detail.

Following that.

Lin Jing scanned the onlookers, each of whom lowered their heads, not daring to meet Lin Jing’s gaze.

Not to mention anything else, merely the aura of authority that Lin Jing exuded made these people too intimidated to move unnecessarily.

Suffice it to say.

The difference in cultivation between Lin Jing and these people was too great, not even daring to leave without Lin Jing’s permission.

Following that.

Lin Jing once again looked at Lin Jue and said,

“Where is the Spirit Stone I gave you?”

As his words fell, Lin Jue took out a Storage Bag from his chest and handed it to Lin Jing.

Lin Jing did not reach out to take it but instead told Lin Jue,

“Pay them whatever you owe them in Spirit Stones.”

Lin Jing didn’t need to intervene in this matter himself.

The two only dared to invert justice intending to seize Lin Jue’s Spirit Stone because they were of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and because Lin Jue had no backing.

Now.

With Lin Jing, a Golden Core Cultivator, standing behind Lin Jue and speaking for him,

the legs of those two Foundation Establishment Cultivators were trembling even more.

Not to mention the rest.

They likely regretted their earlier actions deeply now.

Lin Jue nodded slightly, then opened the Storage Bag. He took out fifty Spirit Stones from inside and handed them to the two men.

The two looked up at Lin Jing.

Seeing that Lin Jing showed no reaction,

a hint of joy immediately spread across their faces.

They didn’t expect that with Lin Jing present, Lin Jue would still return the Spirit Stones to them.

They had thought that after this affair, they would definitely not get their money back.

The two men accepted the Spirit Stones handed by Lin Jue, continuously expressing their thanks.

“Thank you, thank you…”

After that, they turned around, bowed to Lin Jing and said:

“Thank you, senior…”

“Thank you, senior…”

Saying so, the two were about to leave.

“Wait…”

However, just then, Lin Jing called out to them.

Hearing Lin Jing’s voice, the two shuddered and stopped their departing steps.

Then, the two exchanged glances, both seeing the foreboding expression in each other’s eyes.

It seemed the inevitable was upon them, unavoidable.

Before Lin Jing could even ask,

the two “thudded” to their knees, kneeling on the ground.

They began pleading incessantly.

“Senior, we didn’t know you had a relationship with him. If we had known, we would have never dared target him.”

“Please, senior, spare us.”

Lin Jing ignored their pleas, and simply asked:

“You said he stole those Spirit Stones from you?”

As soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, suddenly “slap,” one of them slapped himself across the face.

Seeing this, the other followed suit, “slap,” hitting himself too.

The two continued.

“Slap…slap…slap…”

They slapped themselves several times,

until their cheeks were swollen and blood dripped from the corners of their mouths. Only then did they stop.

“Senior, it was our greed, our lies, hoping to obtain the Spirit Stones in his possession through deceit.”

As their words ended, murmurs immediately arose from the crowd, most of them decrying the two’s shamelessness and defending Lin Jue.

This was a stark contrast to the atmosphere before Lin Jing had arrived.

Regarding these people, Lin Jing paid them no mind, nor did he care about their attitudes.

“Earlier in the Fang Market, I heard you say…”

“That as long as Lin Jue returned the Spirit Stones to you, you would return every Elixir Medicine you took from him, correct?”

Hearing this, the two lowered their heads, exchanged glances, and appeared puzzled…

Lin Jing paid no attention to their subtle gestures, but continued to say:

“Now that he has returned the Spirit Stones he owed you, shouldn’t you fulfill your promise?”

“Yes, yes…”

“We will return the Elixir Medicines to him right away.”

The two nodded continuously, like chickens pecking at rice.

However.

Just as they finished speaking, they froze.

With bitter faces, they looked up at Lin Jing and asked:

“Senior, we have consumed those Elixir Medicines, can we replace them with Spirit Stones?”

Lin Jing then looked at Lin Jue and said:

“This is a matter between you two, you should ask him, not me.”

“Yes, yes…”

Both men nodded hastily and then stood up, asking Lin Jue for confirmation.

Lin Jue agreed to their request.

With Lin Jue’s calculations and the assistance of the dark-skinned youth by his side, they finally settled the value of the Elixir Medicine that the two men had taken.

It amounted to twenty Midium Grade Spirit Stones.

Lin Jing, however, remained silent, merely glancing at them.

The two men then honestly returned the twenty Midium Grade Spirit Stones to Lin Jue.

Afterward, the men looked back at Lin Jing, waiting for him to speak.

If Lin Jing did not dare to speak, they would not dare to leave under any circumstances.

“If I catch you bullying him again, you should know what the consequences will be.”

Lin Jing stared at them, while also intensifying his Divine Sense, infiltrating their consciousness.

Nevertheless, Lin Jing did not do anything else to them.

He simply planted a seed of fear in their consciousness, which, if they saw Lin Jing again, would remind them of today’s events and fill their minds with fear.

Even if they only saw Lin Jue, it would trigger their memory of today’s events and evoke fear in their hearts.

Thus preventing them from seeking revenge on Lin Jue.

After all.

This was in Bihai City, where Lin Jing could not kill without reason, as it would violate the rules established by Bihai City.

Otherwise, he would find himself in a difficult position.

Confronted with Lin Jing’s Divine Sense, both men became as silent as cicadas in winter, nearly losing their balance.

Then, Lin Jing waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

At this moment, the other onlookers also hurriedly left the area.

Soon, the crowd dispersed.

Only Lin Jing, the dark-skinned youth, and Lin Jue were left at the site.

At this moment.

Lin Jue approached and bowed deeply to Lin Jing:

“Thank you, senior, for your help.”

Lin Jing just extended his hand, and Lin Jue was lifted up by an invisible force of Spiritual Power.

“It’s nothing,” Lin Jing said.

“Since you are alright now, I will be leaving,” he added.

Having said that, Lin Jing turned around, ready to leave.

However, just then, Lin Jue called out to him.

“Senior, please wait a moment…” Lin Jue suddenly called out to Lin Jing.

Lin Jing then turned around, looking at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue first whispered a few words to the dark-skinned youth, asking him to leave ahead of time.

He then approached Lin Jing and said:

“Senior, after what happened today, I have come to a realization.”

“If I keep the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass with me, I won’t be able to protect it.”

“I have decided to give this Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass to you, senior.”

Lin Jing then inquired of Lin Jue:

“Isn’t this Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass of significant importance to you? Are you really giving it to me just like that?”

Lin Jue merely shook his head with a bitter smile:

“My grandfather has already passed away. Keeping this Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass doesn’t serve any purpose for me now…”

Lin Jing fell silent for a moment.

“Senior, please follow me,” Lin Jue said.

Following this…

Lin Jue led the way, passing through streets and heading towards an alley.

This alley was similar to the one Lin Jing had traveled through earlier.

It was not very wide, even somewhat crowded.

Following this alley to near its end, Lin Jue finally opened the gate of a somewhat dilapidated courtyard.

“Senior, please come in…”

Lin Jue stood at the doorway, gesturing for Lin Jing to enter.

Lin Jing did not hesitate and stepped inside.

The courtyard was small and only had one room.

However, everything inside the courtyard was neatly arranged.

At this moment, Lin Jue also closed the courtyard door and came inside.

“This courtyard was rented by my grandfather before,” he explained.

“If it wasn’t for the Yellow Dragon Elixir that I sold when my grandfather was critically injured, he and I might have been evicted from Bihai City due to our inability to pay the rent.”

“It’s just a pity…”

“Even selling the Yellow Dragon Elixir couldn’t save my grandfather…”

As he spoke, Lin Jue’s voice was low, his eyes clearly filled with sorrow.

Following this…

Lin Jue opened the door to the room and then invited Lin Jing inside.

Lin Jing accepted the invitation and entered the room, which, like the outside, was plain but well-kept, with everything in perfect order.

Even…

There was a faint, barely perceptible fragrance inside the room…

It was apparent that Lin Jue had been well-educated by his grandfather from an early age.

That’s why he had developed such habits.

Inside the room, Lin Jue asked Lin Jing to wait by the table for a moment while he went into the inner room.

When he returned, Lin Jue held two boxes, both covered with some dirt.

It seemed like they had just been dug out of the ground.

Lin Jue then opened one of the Spirit-Quelling Boxes.

Inside, a Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass lay intact, with its roots and stem.

“This is the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass,” Lin Jue said, pushing the Spirit-Quelling Box containing the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass towards Lin Jing.

“Now that I have offended those two, they definitely won’t let me off after you leave, senior. I might not be able to keep the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass safe.”

“It would be better to give it to you, senior.”
