Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

``` Watching the two, Lin Jing couldn't help but laugh and cry. "Alright, alright..." Lin Jing hastily intervened, otherwise Luo Luo's bottom was probably going to "blossom" soon. "I sold some Elixir Medicine yesterday and bought some Superior Spirit Rice; we can all try it together today." "Yay!" "Thank you, Uncle Lin." After speaking, Luo Luo ran straight into the courtyard. "Lin Daoyou, now that Superior Spirit Rice is so expensive, isn't it a bit wasteful?" Ning Yue was somewhat anxious, afraid that Lin Jing was being imprudent, especially since an Alchemist's early stages were known to be quite costly in Spirit Stones. Lin Jing had already prepared for this. "Ning Daoyou, take a look." As he spoke, Lin Jing took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over. Ning Yue received the porcelain bottle and just as she opened the stopper, a distinctive aroma of Elixir Medicine greeted her, a fragrance she was very familiar with. "Supreme Elixir!!!" Ning Yue's pupils dilated as she exclaimed in surprise. She hadn't expected that Lin Jing could refine a Supreme Elixir so quickly. Afterward, Ning Yue poured the Elixir into her hand and began to observe it carefully. The Elixir was round and free of impurities, and it emitted waves of fragrance. It was undoubtedly a Supreme Elixir. Lin Jing scratched his head: "Yesterday, I had the good fortune to refine a Supreme Elixir. I wanted to reward myself, so I bought this Superior Spirit Rice." "I also have to thank Ning Daoyou. If it weren't for your help, I would have probably given up on Alchemy Technique long ago." "You're too modest, Daoyou." Ning Yue put the Elixir back into the porcelain bottle and handed it back to Lin Jing. Thinking about how, despite investing years into Alchemy, her results were not as good as what Lin Jing had achieved in a few months, Ning Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Your talent in Alchemy is truly exceptional. In fact, I haven't helped you much. It's all due to your own efforts." "Moreover, you've been taking care of Luo Luo for so long. It's only right that I do this little thing for you." Lin Jing shook his head and said, "You're being too humble, Daoyou." "Without your help, I would still be failing every day, spending all my Spirit Stones, let alone treating myself." "All this is your merit, Ning Daoyou." ...... "Mommy, Uncle Lin..." Ning Yue was about to say something more, but a sudden shout interrupted her. When Luo Luo saw that the two of them were just standing at the door and not coming in, she quickly asked, "What are you doing? I'm getting hungry." "Mommy, didn't you say you were going to learn to cook with Uncle Lin?" Luo Luo's words cause Ning Yue's face to redden slightly, and she couldn't help but give her a stern look. This little girl was getting more and more impudent. "Lin Daoyou, you see..." "It's a trivial matter, no problem at all." Before Ning Yue could finish, Lin Jing readily agreed. "It's just about lunchtime, Ning Daoyou, come with me." Saying this, Lin Jing led Ning Yue toward the kitchen. When talking about the difference between cooking and Alchemy. To Lin Jing, the difference wasn't very big; both required controlling the heat and measuring ingredients. And compared to Alchemy, cooking seemed even more straightforward. The reason Ning Yue couldn't cook was that she had never focused on cooking. Lin Jing had previously learned a bit about Ning Yue. She was the beloved daughter of an Alchemy Dao family, never having to worry about her food, clothing, shelter, or transportation. Until she met Luo Luo's father, the two fell in love at first sight, even though her family disapproved of their relationship. However, by then Ning Yue was already pregnant, so the two of them eloped to Nanshan Market. Things were still manageable when Luo Luo's father was around, as he took care of most matters, and naturally, cooking was also his responsibility. But after Luo Luo's father had an accident, all the burdens of the home fell onto Ning Yue alone. ``` ``` She not only had to take care of Luo Luo but also had to figure out ways to earn Spirit Stones, leaving her with no time to focus on learning how to cook. After all, in Fang Market, without Spirit Stones, one could barely move an inch. However, things were better now. She had earned quite a few Spirit Stones with alchemy a while ago, so she didn't have to worry about Spirit Stones for the time being. Moreover, ever since she tasted the dishes made by Lin Jing, eating her own cooking... Felt like a world apart, almost inedible. No wonder even Luo Luo came running to complain about her grievances. ...... The two of them working together at the stove was indeed much faster than Lin Jing working alone. In less than half an hour, the dishes were served on the table. And Luo Luo had already been sitting impatiently at the table for a while. Once the three of them took their seats, Luo Luo hurriedly picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. "So fragrant..." Luo Luo mumbled unclearly. "Luo Luo, try this," Lin Jing pointed to one of the green dishes as he spoke. Meanwhile, Ning Yue was somewhat nervous because she had made that dish. "Sure, anything Uncle Lin makes is delicious," Luo Luo said and picked up a piece of the green vegetable to taste. After chewing twice, something seemed off. Luo Luo's little face scrunched up, then "wa" - she spat the vegetable out. "Uncle, this isn't made by you, is it?" Luo Luo asked Lin Jing with a pained little face, casting a sideways glance at Ning Yue. The implication couldn't be clearer. Lin Jing hadn't planned to let Ning Yue cook this time, but after she watched for a while, she wanted to give it a try. So, Lin Jing agreed to it. Looking at Ning Yue now, her face had reddened to the tips of her ears. Lin Jing was also curious if it really tasted that bad. Thinking this, he reached out with his chopsticks, picked up a piece of the green vegetable, and put it in his mouth. This flavor... Salty with a hint of sour, and after chewing twice more, a bitter aftertaste filled his mouth, making it no wonder that Luo Luo spat it out straight away. Lin Jing looked at Ning Yue with a peculiar expression in his eyes. Ning Yue, feeling embarrassed, lowered her head. Lin Jing swallowed the vegetable in his mouth with difficulty and laughed with a forced smile. "Hehe..." "Not bad, keep trying next time." "Come on, eat up before the dishes get cold." It seemed teaching Ning Yue to cook was going to be a long and arduous journey... After the meal, with nothing particular to do, Lin Jing began exchanging alchemy insights with Ning Yue. Time flew by like flowing water, slipping away in the blink of an eye. When the two came to their senses, it was already time for dinner. This time, under Lin Jing's guidance, Ning Yue stir-fried another dish which, after being taste-tested by Luo Luo, received a rating of 'edible'. This caused Ning Yue to roll her eyes, but her joy was written all over her face. ...... In the following days, the two of them often came over. Every time they arrived, their hands were full of chicken, fish, meat, and vegetables; clearly, Ning Yue was determined to master cooking. And during these evenings, in addition to refining elixirs, Lin Jing also went out once or twice to sell some Elixir Medicines. Until this day. Lin Jing had just finished selling Elixir Medicines and bid farewell to the shopkeeper before leaving. Walking on the road, Lin Jing always felt something was off, as if someone had been following him all along. He quietly looked back but saw nothing. Lin Jing's eyebrows furrowed; he had been very cautious recently, selling medicines in different shops each time. Moreover, the quantities he sold were not large, so logically, he shouldn't have been followed. In the midst of his frowning pondering, an idea suddenly sprang to his mind. A smile curled up on Lin Jing's lips: "Let's see if it's just my imagination, or is someone really tailing me?" ```
