Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

"Golden Core Magic Treasure?" Interested, Lin Jing followed the restless crowd forward. He arrived at a stall, where a crowd had already packed in front of it. Looking through the crowd, he could see a delicate wooden box in front of the vendor. Inside the box lay a circular jade pendant emitting a misty green light, almost as if it were shrouded. Next to the wooden box stood a sign that read: [The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon] A Golden Core Stage concealing magical treasure that can change one's appearance and aura. Its effects are extraordinary, capable of deceiving the divine sense of Golden Core Stage cultivators. This magical treasure is only for exchange, not for sale. Required for exchange: three Pure Quality Clear Accumulation Elixirs, three Pure Quality Foundation Building Elixirs, plus ten Supreme Grade Foundation Building Elixirs and twenty Supreme Grade Gathering Yuan Pills. By then, the crowd had already become agitated. "My god, has this person gone mad, asking for so many, all of Pure Quality elixir medicines?" "Exactly, so many Pure Elixirs. I'm afraid even the entire Fang Market can't gather that much." "This is too expensive, adding all together, it must be several tens of thousands of Spirit Stones." "Don't say that, this is a Golden Core cultivator's refined magical treasure. A few tens of thousands of Spirit Stones are not expensive at all." "Even if it's a Golden Core magical treasure, those Pure Elixirs, even if you have the money, where can you go to buy them? You simply can't find them." "Exactly, exactly." "I also think so, if it were just tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, that would be manageable, but Pure Elixirs, money might not even buy them." "Besides, this is just a supplementary magical treasure with concealing functions, not an attacking or defensive magical treasure. What's the use of having it?" "For attacking magical treasures, the price would probably be much higher." "Sigh..." "Forget it, can't afford it, can't afford it." Those who were just watching for fun quickly dispersed, and the previously crowded stall was now significantly emptier. In front of the stall, only a few people remained, seemingly those who were genuinely interested in acquiring this magical treasure. At that time, Lin Jing arrived in front of the stall where the vendor, wearing a broad-brimmed hat that covered his face well, was likely trying to avoid being recognized. At that moment, a young man was negotiating with the vendor. "Boss, I've calculated, the items you're asking for add up to about seventy thousand Spirit Stones." "How about this—I have a Pure Quality grade Foundation Building Elixir. I'll give you an additional seventy thousand Spirit Stones in exchange for this magical treasure. What do you think, boss?" Upon hearing this, the vendor shook his head and pointed at the sign: "I don't want Spirit Stones, I only exchange for elixirs. If you're interested in this jade pendant, you should collect them on your own and then come trade with me." "I will come here from time to time to offer the jade pendant until it is traded away." The young man's face looked slightly displeased. "Boss, you are making this very difficult. Other elixirs, I can manage, but the Pure Elixirs, I fear the entire Fang Market can't even gather them." "How about this—value one Pure Elixir as equivalent to twenty same grade Supreme Elixirs, how does that sound?" "You know, the price of a Pure Elixir is almost ten times that of a Supreme Elixir. I'm offering twice the market price, which is a huge advantage for you." The vendor shook his head again. "Young master, as you said yourself, Pure Elixirs are hard to find; their value cannot be compared with Supreme Elixirs." "Can't really sell it?" the young man asked coldly. "Cannot," the vendor continued shaking his head, very firm in his stance. "Do you know who I am?" The young man wanted to say more, but was held back by someone beside him. "Forget it, let's not bother." "This is a black market; it's better not to stir up trouble." Hearing this, the young man frowned, shook off the hand, and walked away from there. After this incident, the others also knew that without Pure Elixir, they could not exchange for this Magical Treasure, so everyone felt a sense of regret before they all left the place. At this point, only Lin Jing remained in front of the stall. The stall owner looked at Lin Jing and asked, "Are you also interested in this Jade Pendant?" "Yes," Lin Jing replied. "I want to ask the proprietor how long you plan to sell here, as I intend to collect Elixir Medicines to exchange for this Jade Pendant." The stall owner was taken aback, then realizing what was asked, extended two fingers and said, "Two years. I will be here for at most two years. After that, whether you have gathered them or not, I will leave." "Okay," Lin Jing said. "I will gather all the Elixir Medicines within a year." "Fellow Daoist, that seems rather far-fetched," the stall owner changed his tone dramatically, clearly suppressing his anger. It appeared that he thought Lin Jing was mocking him. "I'm not joking," Lin Jing said earnestly. "Since you won't be leaving anytime soon, why not wait and see? After all, you won't suffer any loss." "Do you think there are others who can gather what you need?" The stall owner looked up at the person before him, noting the youthful voice but bold assertions, even more arrogant than the young man before. Yet, hearing what he said, the stall owner hesitated again. "Could it be true? Can he really gather so many Pure Elixirs within a year?" After some contemplation, the stall owner finally made up his mind. "Alright, fellow Daoist, I'll trust you this time." "From now on, I will come to this black market every few days. I'll wait for one year." Lin Jing responded, "Good, then please keep your eyes open." One year was a conservative estimate for Lin Jing; he could probably reach the status of a Second-Grade Alchemist within six months and directly refine second-grade Elixir Medicines. Why would he need a year? However, it was better to give himself some buffer time, just in case something came up. After leaving the stall that sold the Magical Treasure Jade Pendant, Lin Jing wandered around the black market a few more times, casually learning about some market trends. Eventually, he discovered that the prices in the black market were about twenty to thirty percent higher than in the outside world. After gathering this information, Lin Jing calculated that the time he had agreed upon with Wei Zhengqing was almost upon them. Then, he returned to the initially agreed meeting spot. After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Wei Zhengqing and Yan Xiong appeared. The three discussed briefly and decided to leave. At the departure, they were at the end of the street, where several Teleportation Arrays were located. Unlike the Teleportation Array they had used to enter, these arrays teleported randomly to any area near Fang Market. This arrangement was also made to prevent people from engaging in robbery or murder, which was incredibly thoughtful. After coming out, Lin Jing surveyed his surroundings and found himself on the edge of Fang Market, fortunately having good luck. When he got home, Wei Zhengqing was not back yet; possibly he was teleported far away, or he might have gone directly to meet Yan Xiong. Being at the Late Stage Qi Refining, the chances of him encountering any danger were slim. Afterwards, Lin Jing stopped worrying, steadied his mind, and began to meditate and cultivate. It was not until the next day at noon that Wei Zhengqing returned, accompanied by Yan Xiong. This time, Wei Zhengqing bid farewell to Lin Jing and Ning Yue, saying he would be away for some time. He also asked Lin Jing to take care of Luo Luo when Ning Yue was particularly busy. Lin Jing naturally agreed without hesitation. Finally, after they had all eaten together, Wei Zhengqing and Yan Xiong left directly.
