Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

In the evening, the two left. Lin Jing entered the System Space again and busied himself for an entire night, only then filling the Spirit Field with Spirit Plants. These Spirit Plants, unlike Spirit Rice, could not mature in half a year. However, they matured very quickly. But, the older the Spirit Plants, the better the effects of the Elixir Medicine refined from them. Especially the Three-Leaf Spirit Grass, the main ingredient for refining Energy Gathering Pills, the older it was, the easier it was to refine high-quality Energy Gathering Pills. If there was enough spiritual energy, the Three-Leaf Spirit Grass could even evolve again and grow into Five-Leaf Spirit Grass. Five-Leaf Spirit Grass was extraordinary; it was the main ingredient for refining the second rank Elixir Medicine, Gathering Yuan Pill. Planting them now, when the System Space upgrades and the density of Spiritual Energy increases again, these Three-Leaf Spirit Grasses could very likely evolve into Five-Leaf Spirit Grasses. By then, Lin Jing's Alchemy skill would have also advanced to the second rank, and with these Five-Leaf Spirit Grasses, he could start refining Gathering Yuan Pills directly. Of course, even if they did not evolve into Five-Leaf Spirit Grass, it was not a problem. With these Three-Leaf Spirit Grasses, he could continue refining Energy Gathering Pills then sell them, earning quite a few Spirit Stones. ...... Time flew; it quickly reached New Year's Eve. Just past noon, Lin Jing left his home. Although Demonic Beasts were causing trouble, the festive atmosphere was still very strong in the Fang Market, with bustling crowds on the streets, vendors calling out one after another, everyone dressed brightly and wearing smiles on their faces. It was as if the rampaging of Demonic Beasts hadn't happened at all. Perhaps this was the difference between the interior of the Fang Market and the periphery. Lin Jing bought some gifts and headed towards Yuebaolou. It was almost the New Year, and he planned to visit Elder Yu, who had been kind and helpful to him in the past. Also, Lin Jing intended to ask Elder Yu about the Black Market Token. Lin Jing thought that Elder Yu would know how to use the token. Upon reaching Yuebaolou, Elder Yu was not there. After some inquiries, Lin Jing learned that Elder Yu had left Nanshan Market some time ago and was expected to return only after the New Year. With no choice, Lin Jing had to leave. After wandering the streets, Lin Jing specifically prepared a gift for Luo Luo and bought some groceries before returning home. Just as he was about to reach home, Lin Jing unexpectedly ran into Zhang Sen and his brother Zhang Lin. Perhaps due to the incident last time, this encounter saw Zhang Sen unusually refraining from greeting Lin Jing. The two were slightly disheveled and walked past Lin Jing with their heads down, in a hurry. Only when they were close did Lin Jing see that their faces were somewhat pale, seemingly wounded. "They must be being chased for debts by the people from Qianjin Fang," Lin Jing thought. He thought this because Ning Yue had mentioned this matter a couple of days ago. The two had accumulated a gambling debt at Qianjin Fang and were currently being chased by its enforcers. Although they looked miserable now, Lin Jing felt no pity for them—they continued gambling even to this extent. This was all the consequence of their own actions. ...... Lin Jing did not head back to his small courtyard but went to Ning Yue's front door. "Knock, knock, knock" Lin Jing knocked on Ning Yue's front door. Then, he heard the voice of Luo Luo speaking from inside the courtyard. "Is that Uncle Lin?" "It's me, Luo Luo, open the door," Lin Jing called out. Soon, the door was opened by Luo Luo, who was followed by Wei Zhengqing. "Brother Wei." Lin Jing greeted with a cupped fist salute. Wei Zhengqing also nodded and returned the salute with a cupped fist, "Brother Lin." Luo Luo immediately came over, holding Lin Jing's hand excitedly, "Uncle Lin, you finally came." "Hmm," Lin Jing patted Luo Luo's head. Then, he handed over the puppet doll he was holding in his other hand. "Luo Luo, here, this is a gift for you." "Thank you, Uncle Lin," Luo Luo took the puppet doll and was instantly overjoyed. "Uncle Lin, come in quickly, this must be your first visit to our house." Luo Luo said, pulling Lin Jing towards the courtyard. At this moment, Ning Yue also came out of the kitchen, greeted Lin Jing, and then continued to be busy. Seeing this, Lin Jing also went to the kitchen to help, while Wei Zhengqing, who couldn't cook, could only play with Luo Luo. This busyness lasted for most of the day, and it quickly grew dark, with every household lighting their lamps. At this point, everyone was seated, and the table was filled with a feast, causing Luo Luo's mouth to water almost to the point of drooling. It was then that Ning Yue spoke: "Brother Zhengqing, Lin Daoyou," "Please wait a moment, I'm going to freshen up." Wei Zhengqing nodded. Lin Jing, however, was somewhat puzzled. She looked fine as she was, why did she need to freshen up? Although curious, Lin Jing didn't voice it, and nodded in response as well. After all, it was a woman's private matter, and to ask would be impolite. It was then that Luo Luo came up to Lin Jing, tugging on his sleeve. Lin Jing looked down at Luo Luo. "Don't be stunned later…" Luo Luo whispered, as if harboring a secret. "Don't be stunned, what do you mean?" As Lin Jing was pondering this, he saw Luo Luo wink playfully. He suddenly remembered. Luo Luo had mentioned before that her mother, in fact, was very beautiful. "Could it be that…" Not long after, Ning Yue, having dressed up, slowly walked out. Upon seeing Ning Yue, Lin Jing suddenly stood there dumbstruck. Her eyes were like the bright moon, her beauty fresh and pure, her aura charming, and a white long dress perfectly outlining her figure... She was a peerless beauty indeed. All this long, Lin Jing had never seen anyone who could compare to her. "Ning Daoyou?" Lin Jing, unsure, blurted out with a hint of questioning. Ning Yue's cheeks blushed slightly as she nodded. "I'm sorry, due to the circumstances, I dared not to show my true face and have kept this hidden from you, Lin Daoyou, for so long." Lin Jing sized her up and waved his hand, saying: "No matter, in these times, Ning Daoyou's appearance…" "Indeed, revealing your true face wouldn't be safe, you did the right thing." Lin Jing meant every word, for if Ning Yue hadn't hidden her real appearance, she would have probably been captured as a dual cultivation furnace cauldron long ago, even with her cultivation in the late-stage of Qi Refining. That Ning Yue revealed her true face in front of Lin Jing obviously meant she trusted him completely. Trusted that he would definitely not disclose this matter. Lin Jing was aware of this, too. They trusted him so much, and he would certainly keep their secret. "Uncle Lin, how about it, didn't I tell you my mother was beautiful?" Luo Luo said proudly. "Huh?" "Did you already tell Uncle Lin about this?" Ning Yue pretended to be angry. Luo Luo shrank her neck in fear and secretly hid behind Lin Jing, whispering softly: "Yes." Ning Yue then lectured Luo Luo: "You're lucky Uncle Lin is a good person." "Otherwise, if you let others know about this, neither of us could escape, do you understand?" "Don't do this again, do you hear?" Luo Luo, knowing she was at fault, slowly came out and quickly apologized: "Mom, I was wrong, I won't dare again." Seeing that Luo Luo realized her mistake, Ning Yue's tone softened. "Alright, stop hiding behind your Uncle Lin, come here, let's start our meal."
