Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space - C.215 - 213: The Aura of Fallen Spirits

Chapter 215: Chapter 213: The Aura of Fallen Spirits

Lin Jing paused after hearing this.

He had been so focused on the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit that he hadn’t considered the issue of compensation.

He nearly forgot that he was now representing Elixir Valley, with a different stance; naturally, he couldn’t just help solve someone’s problems for no reason.

Otherwise, it would be hard to justify.

If he was going to put on a show, it had to be the full package.

The compensation was something he must collect, just as he did when he sold Elixir Medicine to Elder Yu before.

But to think of it now on the spot…

Lin Jing couldn’t come up with any good ideas at the moment.

So, Lin Jing opened his mouth and said:

“Elder Ning, there’s no rush about this matter…”

“The seed has not yet been examined by a senior of our Elixir Valley. Once it has been examined, just let the senior from our Elixir Valley speak directly.”

After speaking, Lin Jing went on to explain:

“Please rest assured, Elder…”

“The senior from our Elixir Valley is usually only interested in various Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grasses, so I guess even when he speaks up, he probably won’t make things difficult for Elder.”

The Ning Family ancestor nodded repeatedly and said:

“Thank you for the reminder, young friend.”

“Yes, that sounds good…”

After finishing, the Ning Family ancestor asked again:

“Young friend, may I know how many days it will take to get a result?”

This time…

Lin Jing pondered for a moment and then replied:

“Elder, how about this…”

“Let’s meet at the Secret Trade Room entrance three days later. If the problem with the seed is already resolved, I will bring it directly there.”

“If it is not yet resolved, I will also come there to inform you of the progress, Elder.”

“How does that sound to you, Elder?”

“Good…”

“I have no objections…”

said the Ning Family ancestor.

Afterward, the two discussed the matter of the seed further.

Once they had agreed, they left the Secret Trade Room.

Exiting the Secret Trade Room, Lin Jing bade the others farewell, and then, via the black market’s Teleportation Array, he left the black market directly.

After leaving the black market, Lin Jing, under the cover of night, returned to his courtyard.

Since they only exchanged seeds and did not waste too much time,

therefore,

Lin Jing was back before Zi Time had passed.

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Jing immediately summoned the System and entered into System Space.

The scene in front of him changed, and by the time Lin Jing could see clearly, he was inside System Space. freeweɓnøvel.com

Right in front of him was Spirit Field No. 1.

Several tier-three Spirit Plants were thriving robustly.

Next, Lin Jing took out the wooden box he had just received from the Ning Family ancestor from his Storage Bag.

To understand the specific condition of the seed, Lin Jing needed to plant it; once the time comes, he can check the status of the seed directly through the System.

Then, Lin Jing opened the wooden box and took out the seed from inside the box.

Afterward, he walked toward Spirit Field No. 1 in front of him.

Arriving inside Spirit Field No. 1, Lin Jing crouched down, took out the Medium Grade Spiritual Tool Flying Sword he had bought solely for disguise, and used it as a shovel to dig in the field.

This Flying Sword was being put to good use by Lin Jing.

Soon, Lin Jing had dug a small hole.

Next, he placed the seed into the small hole and covered it with soil, which counted as having planted it.

After planting the seed, the System issued a prompt directly.

“Ding.”

“System prompt: Congratulations to the host for planting a high-grade Spirit Plant. The status of this Spirit Plant is abnormal, and currently, it cannot grow.” (Note: Repairable, repair requires consuming 100 Harvest Points.)

Seeing the message, Lin Jing was immediately stunned.

He had not expected that it would take 100 Harvest Points to repair it.

“This Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed, I wonder what the Yun Family did to it, that it requires 100 Harvest Points to repair,” Lin Jing muttered to himself.

Subsequently, Lin Jing summoned the System.

“System, repair the Spirit Plant.”

With Lin Jing’s words, a System notification began to sound.

“Spirit Plant repair successful, 100 Harvest Points consumed, current Harvest Points remaining: 1876 Harvest Points.”

The repair directly cost 100 Harvest Points, which made Lin Jing feel a bit of pain.

Originally, Lin Jing had said…

Once I’ve saved up 2000 Harvest Points, I’ll upgrade the Alchemy Room again.

But now…

I’ll have to save up for even longer.

Just as Lin Jing was grieving over his Harvest Points.

Suddenly…

The System’s warning went off at that moment.

“Warning!”

“Special gas ‘Degenerate Spirit Qi’ has invaded the System Space, please handle it promptly.”

“Invaded the System Space…”

Lin Jing, who saw the warning, was startled.

He hadn’t even heard of this Degenerate Spirit Qi before.

Following that…

Before Lin Jing could react, a milky-white gas slowly rose from the soil where the seeds were planted.

This milky-white gas, resembling white clouds, tumbled in mid-air as if repelled by the System Space, incompatible with it.

However…

The milky-white gas was not stationary.

It tumbled and slowly drifted toward Lin Jing as if attracted to something on him.

Seeing this…

Lin Jing quickly stepped back, wary of the gas touching him.

At the same time, his thoughts raced, and he instantly considered:

“This milky-white gas must be that Degenerate Spirit Qi, and it looks like it’s coming from inside the seed…”

“The System just finished repairing the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed, and then this Degenerate Spirit Qi appeared…”

“It must be a tactic used by the Yun Family.”

Watching the Degenerate Spirit Qi continue to slowly float towards him.

Lin Jing had no choice but to retreat further while keeping a close eye on the gas.

After all, the System had issued a warning.

That meant the Degenerate Spirit Qi was definitely not good news.

Best not to get contaminated by it.

Yet.

The Degenerate Spirit Qi seemed fixed on Lin Jing, continually tumbling and drifting toward him.

Though slow, being chased by an unknown gas made Lin Jing somewhat apprehensive.

As the Degenerate Spirit Qi drew nearer to Lin Jing.

Lin Jing couldn’t help but frown and back away further.

Simultaneously, he summoned the System again.

“System, how do I deal with this Degenerate Spirit Qi?”

As Lin Jing’s words fell, a panel appeared above the Degenerate Spirit Qi.

Degenerate Spirit Qi: A special kind of Spiritual Energy, it can attach to any item with Spiritual Energy, and upon attachment, it merges with it.

Unless the item is destroyed,

the Degenerate Spirit Qi cannot detach by itself…

Moreover, the Degenerate Spirit Qi will continuously drain the Spiritual Power of the attached item, reducing its Spiritual Power until it’s completely gone.

(Note: Once attached, the Degenerate Spirit Qi is invisible and intangible, undetectable by Divine Sense below the Divinity Transformation Stage, and extremely difficult to remove.)

After reading the description of the Degenerate Spirit Qi, Lin Jing immediately understood that the issue with the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed was indeed caused by it.

He wondered how the Yun Family had found this Degenerate Spirit Qi.

Following that…

Lin Jing looked at the Medium Grade Flying Sword in his hand, then threw it directly at the milky-white gas.

Sure enough…

The moment the Flying Sword touched the Degenerate Spirit Qi, the tumbling gas instantly entered the sword.

The sword, which had already been refined by Lin Jing, became obscured in its connection with him, leaving only a faint link.

Lin Jing then tried to make the Flying Sword fly, but despite his efforts,

he could only make it lift off with great difficulty.

It was even incapable of launching an attack.

But at least, the crisis of the Degenerate Spirit Qi was resolved.

Next.

Lin Jing carefully stored the Flying Sword away.

With the Degenerate Spirit Qi inside it, the sword was no longer usable.

But Lin Jing wasn’t upset.

Because…

With this Flying Sword, he now had an extra card up his sleeve against enemies.
