Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

"Big brother, I do have a method..." Zhang Lin suddenly spoke up at this time. Zhang Sen turned his head to look at his younger brother, his tone eager, "What method? Speak quickly." Zhang Lin's gaze was dark as he stared in the direction of Ning Yue's small courtyard across the way and suddenly asked Zhang Sen: "Big brother, do you think practicing alchemy techniques consumes spirit stones?" Zhang Sen nodded in affirmation: "Of course it does. Without a substantial amount of spirit stones as a foundation, how can one practice alchemy techniques?" "Especially when first starting out, the failure rate is extremely high. Without a large number of spirit stones for support, one definitely couldn't carry on." "However, once one succeeds, alchemists can be said to be the most profitable occupation, with spirit stones flowing in continuously." Having said that, Zhang Sen looked at Zhang Lin with a puzzled face: "What, do you want to practice alchemy techniques?" Then he shook his head, speaking in self-mockery: "With our current situation, it's better not to even think about it..." Zhang Lin suddenly spoke up, interrupting Zhang Sen's words: "Big brother, you've misunderstood." "Alchemy techniques are not that easy to master, I'm well aware of that and have no delusions about venturing into that area." "But isn't there someone who is practicing alchemy techniques? If he doesn't have spirit stones, how could he dare to practice these alchemy techniques?" Zhang Sen suddenly came to a realization: "Are you talking about Brother Lin?" "But there hasn't been any activity from him recently. I think he must have given up by now." "Whether he has given up, I'm not sure, but I do know that he must have a good number of spirit stones on him. If we take his spirit stones..." Zhang Lin said, his eyes filled with a ruthless gleam as he looked towards the other side. "Then won't we no longer have to worry?" Zhang Sen furrowed his brow, hesitantly saying: "Isn't it wrong to do so? Brother Lin hasn't done anything to wrong us, would it be alright for us to do this?" "Tch...!" Zhang Lin expressed his disdain with a sneer. "Big brother, have you lost your mind?" "Have you forgotten the scene from the other day when we were begging outside his door?" "You almost knelt down to him, yet did he show even the slightest bit of pity?" "Don't tell me he doesn't have spirit stones." "The aroma floating over these past few days from his house, I smelled it very clearly, it's definitely superior spirit rice." "He has the money to eat superior spirit rice but unwilling to lend a single spirit stone to us. And yet this is the neighborly relationship we have?" "What 'Brother Lin'? I spit on that...!" Zhang Lin, recalling that day's event, felt incredibly angry. The two brothers had never before begged anyone in such a low manner. Zhang Sen didn't say anything, simply bowing his head in silence. Zhang Lin looked at his older brother, seeing that he had not defended Lin Jing, and knew that his words had taken effect. He continued to add fuel to the fire, saying: "Big brother, just think about it." "When Lin Jing first arrived here, wasn't it you who introduced him to the ins and outs of this place daily? Without you, big brother, how could he have adapted so quickly here?" "Moreover, wasn't it you who introduced Ning Yue to the two of them?" "Look how close those two have gotten, sticking together day by day, even eating meals together—it's only a matter of sleeping in the same bed now." Having finished speaking, Zhang Lin then added leisurely: "Just this afternoon..." "Didn't we see him carrying things into the Su Family's door? They might still be drinking together right now. After the drinks, who knows what the two of them will do..." Zhang Sen raised his head, gazing across thoughtfully. Zhang Lin continued to speak: "They've reached this point now, not even thanking you, Big Brother, and yet they're still giving you the cold shoulder every day." "Especially that widow, Ning Yue, she's the worst." "If only I could beat her, I would've already..." Zhang Lin didn't continue with what he was about to say... Zhang Lin licked his lips, beginning to let his thoughts wander. "Although that widow Ning Yue isn't much to look at, her figure is certainly exceptional. If only..." Hearing Zhang Lin's words, Zhang Sen looked down in thought, reflecting on the recent hardships. His eyes slowly began to show a resolute determination. "What do you plan to do?" "Don't forget, Ning Yue is a Late Stage Qi Refining cultivator; we're no match for her." "She and Brother Lin... no, Lin Jing are so close, he certainly won't sit by and do nothing." "Moreover, we mustn't overlook one person—the one surnamed Wei. If he's around, I'm afraid he'd cut us down on the spot." Zhang Lin smiled and reminded, "Have you forgotten what time it is? In a few days, Ning Yue and the one surnamed Wei are bound to go out. That will be our opportunity." Zhang Sen's eyes lit up, "Ning Yue's husband's death anniversary..." Zhang Lin said, "Yes, we'll have at least a whole day's time." "Both of us are in the Mid Stage of Qi Refining, and Lin Jing is just at the Initial Stage. Are we still afraid we can't handle him?" "When the time comes, we can sneak over the wall and capture him before he hides the Spirit Stones. We can then interrogate him. After we've finished looting, we can just 'snip' him off with a knife." "That way, it will be as if nothing has happened." "What do you think, Big Brother?" After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Sen nodded in agreement. "Good, let's do that." Then, with a chilling gaze, he looked across: "If you are heartless, don't blame me for being merciless." ...... At this time, across from them, Lin Jing was drinking. He had already become somewhat drunk and had no idea about the conspiracy that was about to come his way. The gathering continued on into the deep of the night before it ended. Afterward, Lin Jing returned home and went straight into the System Space. Once inside the System Space, Lin Jing immediately sat cross-legged and began to circulate his cultivation technique to force the drunkenness from his body. Because tonight, he had an important task to do. The external world was becoming ever more chaotic, and he too needed to rapidly improve his strength. "System, open the panel." Lin Jing called out the system panel to check his cultivation level. Lin Jing (24/90) Spiritual Root: Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root (Low Grade) Cultivation: Qi Refinement Third Layer (96%) Cultivation Techniques: Qingyuan Dao Method (Level One), Qingyuan Sword Control Technique (Beginner), Controlling Fire Technique (Proficient) Sub-Occupation: First Grade Alchemist (1982/3000) "96% cultivation level, just by taking one more Flawless Elixir, I can reach the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining." Reaching the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining means entering the Mid Stage. The Mid Stage and the Initial Stage of Qi Refining are entirely different. The most significant difference is that one can fly with the sword and start practicing some intermediate spells only from the Mid Stage of Qi Refining onwards. Even at the Third Layer of Qi Refining, he could only practice some elementary spells like the Wind Blade Technique, Fireball Technique, and the Item Control Technique, among others. The Qingyuan Sword Control Technique he practiced at the Qingyuan Sword Sect was such a basic spell that even if he practiced it to the very limit, its power would not be that great. Therefore, Lin Jing had never practiced it. Using talismans was simpler and more convenient, requiring only spiritual power. Of course, the Controlling Fire Technique was different. The Controlling Fire Technique was a basic support spell that every alchemist needed to practice; it was not meant for combat. As for flying on a sword, it goes without saying that Lin Jing had been looking forward to it for a long time.
