Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 188 - 188 Treasure Hunt

Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Treasure Hunt

After listening, Lin Jing pondered for a while.

He decided not to go to Yuebaolou, but to head directly to that place to have a look and search for the soil he had left behind.

As soon as he thought of it, he did it…

Then, Lin Jing made his way out of the outer Fang Market,

Upon leaving the Fang Market, Lin Jing rose on his Flying Sword and flew towards the Night Mist Mountain Range.

On this journey…

He occasionally encountered groups of cultivators flying past on their swords.

And since their direction was similar to Lin Jing’s, it seemed the news of the Golden Core battle had already spread.

These people were probably also heading to the battlefield to observe the aftermath of the Golden Core cultivator’s fight.

Or perhaps…

To see if there was an opportunity to scavenge any leftovers…

The Flying Sword Lin Jing was using this time was the Medium Grade magic artifact he had recently purchased.

The characteristics of the Flawless Sword were too conspicuous, not suitable for exposure to others.

But this Medium Grade flying sword was different; it was very ordinary and wouldn’t attract attention.

After not much time, Lin Jing arrived at the battlefield.

He surveyed the scene, a complete mess.

The dense jungle that was there just yesterday was now nothing but a bare clearing.

On the ground, the few standing trees that were left were broken, their splintered remains mixed with stones, scattered everywhere.

It looked extremely disordered.

At that moment, on the chaotic ground…

Some were rummaging among the broken stones and wood chips, apparently searching for something.

Others were even using their Divine Sense, which puzzled Lin Jing even more.

There didn’t seem to be anything worth searching for here.

Lin Jing knew that there weren’t any rare Spirit Plants in the area and even with an intense battle, it was unlikely any rare items like fragments of Magical Treasures would be left behind.

Then, shaking his head and sighing, Lin Jing stopped paying attention to those people.

Instead, he scanned the area from the sky, trying to recognize the spot where he was the day before.

After identifying it approximately, based on some distant scenery, Lin Jing confirmed his position from the previous day.

Then…

He came to a spot full of ruins on the ground and landed, retracting his flying sword.

This place should be where he had previously entered the System Space.

Lin Jing could be sure that even if there was some discrepancy, it wasn’t significant.

The ground here was ravaged as if it had been turned over by someone.

Furthermore, just now there were two cultivators on the ground discussing what they were searching for.

From their conversation, Lin Jing learned…

That this was the very spot where the final decisive battle had taken place.

It was here, in the market, that the Golden Core cultivators had slain the Demon Cultivator.

Initially, Lin Jing had felt this place was not safe, so he had taken the opportunity to flee.

Now, it seemed his decision was indeed justified.

Next, Lin Jing, like the others, started to search the ground.

However, what he was looking for…

Was the black soil that had clung to the roots and stem of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit, which was harder to find than what others were seeking…

After searching for over half an hour, Lin Jing still hadn’t found any trace of the black soil.

It figured…

After all, there was only a small amount of that black soil initially, and after the Golden Core cultivators’ battle, the ground had probably been completely overturned.

If it were so easy to find, that would be the real surprise…

Fortunately, the soil here was a yellowish-brown, starkly different from the black soil, making it somewhat easier to distinguish.

Otherwise, Lin Jing would have probably left long ago…

Lin Jing continued searching like this…

As he flipped a piece of broken stone, suddenly…

Lin Jing saw a black granule stuck on a piece of broken wood beneath it.

He quickly picked up the piece of broken wood and then took the black granule off.

Next, Lin Jing pinched it between his fingers, and that texture…

Was indeed undoubtedly that of soil.

I never expected to actually find it myself.

Lin Jing’s heart instantly swelled with joy.

However, just at that moment.

A crisp and familiar voice came from behind Lin Jing.

“Lin Jing…?”

There was a hint of uncertainty in that voice.

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Jing turned around and to his surprise, he saw Huang Qingling standing there with a lively expression.

Behind Huang Qingling stood Li Tangyu and Li Qingqing.

Seeing Lin Jing turn around, Huang Qingling immediately smiled happily:

“It really is you, I thought I was seeing things…”

“Who would have thought, without a word, you also came treasure hunting…”

In theory…

At this time, Lin Jing was supposed to be in his courtyard, engaged in alchemy.

But, he had come out.

And now he had been caught red-handed by Huang Qingling.

At the moment, Lin Jing was holding a piece of broken wood, which made the situation somewhat awkward.

Fortunately, Lin Jing responded quickly, releasing his hold and letting the wood fall to the ground, hastily replying:

“Yes…”

“After a failed alchemy attempt last night, I felt somewhat downcast, so I went out today for a stroll and heard news of a Golden Core battle, so I thought I’d come and have a look.”

“After arriving here, seeing many people treasure hunting, I was taken by the moment and started searching as well.”

“Fellow Daoist Qingling, brother Li, Qingqing…”

“What brings you here, too…”

At that point, Li Tangyu approached Lin Jing and said:

“To be honest, Lin brother, like you, they were impulsive to come treasure hunting…”

“And I didn’t have any pressing matters, so I joined them…”

“If I’d known you were also interested, I would have asked you to join us,” Huang Qingling said.

“It’s the same now…” Lin Jing said with a smile.

Then, Lin Jing asked Li Tangyu:

“Brother Li, why are there so many people here looking for treasure? Is there really something valuable?”

The battle from yesterday had already ended, and Elder Master Li had probably already returned to the Li Family.

Therefore, Lin Jing thought to ask Li Tangyu to see if anything had been left behind after the great battle of yesterday.

Li Tangyu replied with a smile:

“So Lin brother, you didn’t know what was going on either.”

“Yeah, I was just out for a stroll today when I heard about the battle and got curious, so I followed over…” Lin Jing replied.

“To tell the truth, there really is…” Li Tangyu began.

“Oh…?”

“Please, I’d like to hear more about it…”

Lin Jing was now also showing interest.

After that, Li Tangyu continued:

“It’s just that yesterday, during their fight, a rootstock of the Blood Red Zhu Fruit dropped here on the battlefield.”

“Blood Red Zhu Fruit rootstock…” Lin Jing appeared astonished.

“Yes, the Blood Red Zhu Fruit rootstock…”

Li Tangyu nodded.

“We also found out from Grandfather that a rootstock of the Blood Red Zhu Fruit was lost on the battlefield, and that’s why we thought to come here and look,” Li Qingqing spoke up at this moment.

“I see…” Lin Jing nodded slightly.

Then, Li Tangyu continued:

“Because the fight yesterday was too intense, they could not afford to be distracted to search for it.”

“In the end…”

“That battle almost turned the entire area upside down.”

“And those Golden Core Immortals from the Fang Market managed to claim a narrow victory, hurrying back to heal their wounds, and temporarily put this matter out of their minds.”

“However, looking at the situation…”

“Somehow, this information was leaked…”
