Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

"Brother Lin, please accept this." "Besides, I fear I have no better way to repay you." Wei Zhengqing also nodded and said: "Brother Lin, take it. Since Ning Yue has already said so, there's definitely no problem." "Alright then..." Lin Jing replied. ...... In the following two days, through his connections, Wei Zhengqing contacted a merchant company's caravan, planning to depart with them in a few days. After all, with the Demonic Beasts causing chaos outside, it was unlikely they could make it out on their own. Everything was already prepared. But then, on this day... The personnel manning the outer defense array sent a message: the beast tide had launched a surprise attack, requiring urgent assistance. Upon receiving the message, the Fang Market urgently dispatched additional forces to join the defense at the outer array. However, just one day later... A commotion arose within the market; a group of Demonic Beasts suddenly appeared at the edge of the market, and those living at the outskirts of the Outer Fang Market ran non-stop towards the inner areas. During this, people were continuously shouting: "It's not good, the Defense Array has been breached, the Demonic Beasts are all coming in." "Everyone hurry towards the Inner Fang Market. There's a formation there that can block the Demonic Beasts." A chaotic crowd surged, running toward the direction of the Inner Fang Market. Lin Jing heard the commotion and went out immediately to check the situation. Along with him, Ning Yue, Wei Zhengqing, and Yan Xiong— all three emerged. Wei Zhengqing's brow was furrowed as he watched the approaching swarm of Demonic Beasts. Lin Jing did likewise, observing carefully. He hadn't expected this beast tide to be so ferocious; in just a day, the Defense Array had been broken. Seeing more and more Demonic Beasts, Wei Zhengqing spoke directly. "There are too many Demonic Beasts. Let's go to the Inner Fang Market." The rest nodded, and Yan Xiong took the lead with the others following behind, with Ning Yue picking up Luo Luo, who was frightened pale. However, as they were just about to head to the Inner Fang Market, they saw a huge light screen rise. The Defense Array of the Inner Fang Market had been activated. It immediately blocked off the people from the Outer Fang Market from the outside. "Hurry up and open the array, let us in, the Demonic Beasts are coming." "Open the array, let us in." "Hurry...!!!" As the Demonic Beasts pressed closer to the people, panic ensued. "Quick, do you want to kill us?" "Please, open the Defense Array quickly." However, no matter how desperately they pleaded, it was to no avail. As the horde of Demonic Beasts charged toward them, getting closer and closer, someone couldn't hold back anymore. "Those in the Inner Fang Market want us dead. Everyone, hurry and attack the array, open a breach." However, hardly anyone heeded his words; most knew that the array could defend against attacks from Golden Core Cultivators, and for people like them, trying to create an opening was nothing but a fool's dream. The people frantically scattered in all directions, trying to get away from the Demonic Beasts. The Demonic Beasts were fast, especially a few at the Foundation Establishment Stage, which were at the forefront of the charge. The Cultivators who ran slowly were directly turned to mush with a single swipe of a paw. Seeing this, many Cultivators quickly took to their swords and flew up, trying to bypass the Inner Fang Market and flee elsewhere. The cultivators who hadn't reached the Qi Refinement mid-stage were truly miserable; they were incapable of sword flight and could only wish for a couple more legs to speed their escape from this place. Of course, there were also some cultivators who, knowing they couldn't outrun the Demonic Beasts, quickly found a place to hide. Some of the smarter ones even used Invisibility Talismans, sticking them onto their bodies while also concealing their auras. Some of these people actually managed to survive. Of course, many more were unfortunately discovered by the Demonic Beasts and were devoured on the spot. Then there were the cultivators who took to the skies on their swords, and their situation wasn't much better. Among the Demonic Beasts, there were also some capable of flight. Some were even predatory birds, with speeds that were many times faster than those on the ground. In the sky, a Qi Refinement mid-stage cultivator was desperately fleeing on his sword. But he was suddenly attacked by a streak of black light. Before he could even see what the black light was, he had already lost consciousness and plummeted from the sky. There was a "smack" as he hit the ground, and from his mangled corpse, one could see that his chest was hollowed out, his heart having been gouged out. A few others, not far from him, saw this scene and broke out in a cold sweat, turning their heads to look. They saw the black light circling in the air, its sharp gaze fixed on them. It was actually a Black Kite. The Black Kite was no ordinary Demonic Beast; it was the overlord of the skies. Though it was not large, roughly the size of a pigeon, its speed was incredibly fast. As a Foundation Establishment stage Demonic Beast, it could match the speed of a Golden Core Cultivator. Moreover, its beak was exceedingly hard and sharp, the best material for making attack-oriented Magic Artifacts. Ordinary defensive magical artifacts couldn't block it at all. Seeing the Black Kite, the group of cultivators hurriedly descended to the ground, not daring to linger in the air. Because the Black Kite usually wouldn't attack prey on the ground; instead, it was almost impossible to escape from its pursuit in the sky. At that moment, Lin Jing and his group also witnessed the scene of the Demonic Beasts' slaughter, and their faces grew ugly. "We can't get into the Inner Fang Market now, so how about we just fight our way out from another direction?" Yan Xiong suggested. "No, that's impossible with so many Demonic Beasts," Ning Yue said as she looked at the chaotic crowd and the frenzied Demonic Beasts, frowning deeply. "Then what do we do, think of something quick! The Demonic Beasts are already charging over here," Yan Xiong was getting anxious at this point. At that time, several Foundation Establishment stage Demonic Beasts took the lead and were charging in their direction. "Brother Wei." "Elder Yan." "Cultivator Ning." "Quickly, come over to me, I have a way out," Lin Jing called out. The trio turned around, saw the determined look in Lin Jing's eyes, and without hesitation, they went over to his side. Lin Jing took out an Array Plate from his Storage Bag, then embedded five Spirit Stones into the grooves of the Array Plate. Soon after, a light screen rose up, enveloping the group within it, and then it slowly expanded, covering half of Lin Jing's courtyard before it stopped. "A Defense Array Plate!" Yan Xiong exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Lin, when did you get your hands on this wonderful thing?" "Someone lent it to me, I didn't expect it would come in handy just now," Lin Jing replied. This Defense Array Plate had been lent to Lin Jing by Elder Yu because of a previous beast tide threat. But the beast tide had not yet triggered and was eradicated by the Golden Core Cultivators who had entered the Night Mist Mountain Range. Lin Jing had been meaning to return the Array Plate to Elder Yu, but he had been too busy and had not done so, never expecting it would be useful just now. It was fortunate he hadn't returned it, or else their fate today would have been sealed. "How effective is this Array Plate?" Wei Zhengqing was still somewhat worried. After all, there were several Foundation Establishment stage Demonic Beasts outside, and if the defense was not up to par, they might all end up as Demonic Beast fodder. "Brother Wei, don't worry," The defensive capability of the Formation within this Array Plate was extraordinary; as long as it was not an attack exceeding the strength of the Golden Core stage, it could withstand it. Upon hearing that, Wei Zhengqing also breathed a sigh of relief.
