Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

``` As the two entered the house, Luo Luo saw Ning Yue coming in and ran over. "Mother." At that time, the fire basin inside the house was burning vigorously, making the entire room incredibly warm, and Luo Luo's little face was somewhat rosy. "Good girl, tomorrow your mother will be able to stay at home with Luo Luo." Ning Yue reached out to brush Luo Luo's fringe away from her forehead, whispering softly. "Mother doesn't have to go out anymore?" "That's wonderful." Luo Luo cheered. "Uncle Lin mentioned that outside, there are more and more Demonic Beasts appearing; every time Mother leaves, Luo Luo is very worried." "Mother is fine; from tomorrow on, Mother will be at home with Luo Luo every day." As Ning Yue spoke, she rubbed Luo Luo's head. "Yay..." Luo Luo cheered; children are always so pure and simple. Since a month ago, the beast tide intensified, with Demonic Beasts ceaselessly attacking human settlements, causing severe damage to many families. Some families' Spirit Fields were even destroyed by the Demonic Beasts. Many families have also pulled back their external businesses to fully resist the beast tide, while smaller families have banded together for mutual protection. Furthermore, even the outskirts of Fang Market have experienced attacks by Demonic Beasts. Although they were eventually killed by the patrolling guards of Fang Market, several Cultivators living on the edges of Fang Market lost their lives to the beasts. Hence, during this period, there was widespread anxiety within Fang Market, with everyone fearing an attack by Demonic Beasts, especially those like Lin Jing who lived on the outskirts. Fortunately, earlier, Lin Jingzhi heeded the advice of the person in charge and rented a courtyard that was closer to the interior of Fang Market. Thus, they were relatively safe during this time and had not encountered any attacks by Demonic Beasts. After the three of them had dinner, the other two left. Tonight, he had tasks to attend to because the Spirit Rice and Seven-Star Grass in the Spirit Field space were mature and ready for harvesting. Entering the System Space, Lin Jing directly opened the Alchemy Room panel. Alchemy Room: Level 1 Divine Sense strength increase: 10% Alchemy success rate increase: (Tier one 10%) Elixir Medicine quality improvement: (Tier one 10%) Pure Elixir occurrence rate: (Tier one 10%) Upgrade requirement: (94/100 Harvest Points) Looking at the system panel, Lin Jing murmured to himself, "After harvesting the Spirit Plants this time, the Alchemy Room can be upgraded." Then, picking up a sickle, Lin Jing began to get busy. With his realm improved, Lin Jing's speed at harvesting Spirit Plants had also increased significantly. In a short while, an acre of Spirit Rice was harvested by Lin Jing. "System prompt: Congratulations to the host for harvesting an acre of Superior Spirit Rice, reward: 2 Harvest Points." "As expected, the higher the grade of the Spirit Plant, the more Harvest Points are awarded." Without delay, Lin Jing continued the harvest. This time, he chose an acre of Seven-Star Grass. Soon, the Seven-Star Grass too was harvested, yielding a reward of 3 Harvest Points. Seems like the Seven-Star Grass is of a slightly higher quality than the Superior Spirit Rice. Lin Jing spent about twenty hours harvesting the twenty acres of Spirit Field, After the harvest was complete, 10 acres of Superior Spirit Rice and 10 acres of Seven-Star Grass yielded a total of 50 Harvest Points. Sitting at the edge of the field, Lin Jing opened the panel again. Upgrade requirement: (144/100 Harvest Points) (Upgrade available) The Harvest Points were sufficient, and an option to upgrade appeared as well. Without hesitation, Lin Jing chose to upgrade. Soon, the system interface changed. Alchemy Room: Level 2 Divine Sense strength increase: 20% Alchemy success rate increase: (Tier one 20%), (Tier two 10%) Elixir Medicine quality improvement: (Tier one 20%), (Tier two 10%) ``` Flawless Elixir Medicine appearance rate: (Grade 1 20%), (Grade 2 10%) Required for upgrade: (44/500 Harvest Points) Looking at the panel, Lin Jing smiled contentedly. "The success rate of alchemy has increased again." By the time he emerged from the System Space, it was already dawn of the next day. After a busy day, he paid no mind to anything else and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. ...... "Thud thud thud" A series of urgent knocks sounded from outside the door. Lin Jing, who had been sleeping soundly, was awakened by this sudden noise. Lin Jing got up and walked out of the house. "Who could it be at this hour?" "Judging by the sound, it doesn't seem like Ning Yue. Her knocks are always very gentle, but this sound is very urgent." As Lin Jing pondered, he opened the door, and a familiar face came into view. It was Manager Jiang, the one who had led Lin Jing here when he rented the place. "Manager Jiang." Lin Jing had learned the man's surname was Jiang through Zhang Sen. "Lin Daoyou." Seeing Lin Jing, Manager Jiang's eyes lit up. "I've been knocking for a long time, thought you might not be home, Daoyou." "I was exhausted from something yesterday, so I slept more deeply than usual." "Sorry about that." "Not at all," waved Manager Jiang. "Manager Jiang, may I ask why you are here?" Lin Jing regarded Manager Jiang, this being only the second time he had seen him since moving in, guessing that unless it was something important, Manager Jiang probably wouldn't have come. "Lin Daoyou, you must have heard about some of the recent events, right?" Manager Jiang began. "Yes, I've heard there have been several demonic beast attacks lately. All occurred on the outskirts of the Fang Market, causing a lot of panic." "That's the matter," sighed Manager Jiang. "Alas…" "This outbreak of demonic beasts has had a huge impact, causing widespread panic within the Fang Market." "My visit is regarding this issue." "Oh?" Lin Jing then inquired, "Manager Jiang, does the Fang Market have a countermeasure?" "The Fang Market has issued a notice, recruiting personnel to join the Guard Team to maintain peace in the market." "However, given the difficult current situation and the need for a substantial amount of Spirit Stones to recruit people…" "Therefore… the Fang Market has decided that each household needs to contribute ten Spirit Stones as funds for recruiting the Guard Team." "I see," said Lin Jing. "Just wait a moment, Manager Jiang, I'll go get them for you." Rushed to come out, Lin Jing hadn't brought any Spirit Stones with him. After responding to Manager Jiang, he headed inside the house. Shortly after, Lin Jing came out from the house and handed ten Spirit Stones to Manager Jiang. After taking the Spirit Stones, Manager Jiang spoke again: "Lin Daoyou, as you can see the current situation, the rent for next year… it won't be this price anymore. I think you can understand, Daoyou." "I'm telling you in advance, so you can prepare." "Naturally," Lin Jing replied. "Well, then I'll move on to the next house." "Lin Daoyou, you should stock up on some living supplies if possible. With the Demonic Beasts' rampage, we don't know how long it will continue." "Lin Daoyou, I'll take my leave." After reminding Lin Jing, Manager Jiang took his leave and left. After Manager Jiang had gone, Lin Jing also closed the door and returned inside the house. Instead of resuming his rest, he considered Manager Jiang's words. "Stock up on living supplies?" It seems he might know something.
