Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 309: Chapter 11 Little Gold and Little Black

“Senior, what would you have me do for you?” Lin Jing bowed with his hands clasped and asked the old ape.

“Do you see that small island over there?” the old ape pointed at the small island in the middle of the lake and inquired.

Lin Jing looked towards the small island ahead and nodded.

Following that, the old ape spoke:

“I would like you to help me ripen a Spirit Plant on that island.”

“Ripen a Spirit Plant?”

Lin Jing was quite puzzled; he did not understand how one could ripen a Spirit Plant artificially.

“Don’t worry, ripening this Spirit Plant will not harm you. On the contrary, it will be beneficial for you, it will just take some of your time,” the old ape reassured.

“Are you willing?”

The old ape looked at Lin Jing as he asked this.

“Senior, I am willing,” Lin Jing replied.

After all, faced with the old ape, Lin Jing didn’t even have the capital to resist; if he refused, who knows what might happen.

The old ape nodded, then descended from mid-air and landed in front of Lin Jing, saying:

“Good.”

“Then, put away the Eternal Life Vine and follow me. When I say I will give it to you, I mean it, and I will not go back on my word.”

“Also, from now on you can just call me Senior Ape.”

“Alright, Senior Ape,” Lin Jing responded.

Afterward, Lin Jing put away the vine and followed the old ape, moving forward.

The primary reason why Lin Jing had continued to trust Senior Ape was in fact the most crucial detail.

That is, Senior Ape had never revealed any intent to kill him, not from the beginning to the end.

The system’s warning also remained silent.

Even at the very start, when he had been threatening him, there was likewise no lethal intent.

Thus, Lin Jing came to realize:

Perhaps in consideration of the Divine Phoenix, or maybe because the task of ripening the Spirit Plant that he had mentioned was too important, Senior Ape did not presently wish to harm Lin Jing.

And Lin Jing should be safe for now as well.

Following the old ape, Lin Jing walked straight ahead until he arrived at the edge of the lake.

Only when he got closer did Lin Jing notice the extremely magnificent Spirit Tree on the small island in the middle of the lake.

This tree consisted of five differently colored root systems, intertwining and rising to the very top of the tree.

At the top grew branches and leaves of five different colors.

In the very center of that treetop was a small tree crown made up of the five-colored branches and leaves, and at its apex grew a fruit, possessing all five colors.

The fruit was round and extraordinarily plump, with a seemingly dripping luster. Its five colors intertwined and circled around it, making it breathtakingly beautiful to behold.

Senior Ape pointed at the exceedingly beautiful Spirit Tree on the island ahead and said:

“That is the Five Elements Spirit Tree, the one I plan for you to ripen. You just need to ripen the Five Elements Spirit Fruits on it, and that will be all.”

Having said this, a surge of power erupted from the old ape, who then soared into the sky, carrying Lin Jing with him, enveloped in his Spiritual Power, and flew towards the small island in the lake.

At the same time, he did not forget to explain to Lin Jing:

“This lake may appear tranquil, but in reality, it is protected by a special prohibition, and one cannot normally fly over it. Furthermore, there is great danger lurking in its depths.”

“With your level of cultivation, if you were to fall into these waters, you would likely become bones in an instant.”

Lin Jing, looking down at the waters below, couldn’t help sweating profusely.

He had previously thought about flying over the lake to take a look at the island.

If he really had done so, he probably would have been reduced to a skeleton by now.

Lin Jing quickly said to the old ape, “Thank you for the warning, Senior Ape.”

The old ape did not pay heed to Lin Jing and continued to explain:

“Once you are on the island, do not wander off. Even if you wish to leave, let Little Gold and Little Black carry you out.”

“The two of them, you’ve already met before…”

Upon saying this, Lin Jing instantly understood that the eagle and the owl must be Little Gold and Little Black.

“Yes, I understand now.”

As they spoke, the Elder Ape had already led Lin Jing to the front of the light screen on the island.

With a wave of his hand, the Elder Ape tore open a hole in the light screen and immediately flew through it with Lin Jing.

After they entered, the hole in the light screen behind them slowly healed itself.

“Little Gold, Little Black…”

Upon reaching the island, the Elder Ape began calling out.

After calling out, the Elder Ape landed with Lin Jing next to the Five Elements Spirit Tree.

Soon, two exceedingly well-behaved and enormous raptors descended from the sky: it was the Golden Giant Eagle and the black owl from the previous altercation.

Upon seeing Lin Jing, the two raptors’ eyes opened wide, and then, as if frightened, they quickly hid behind the Elder Ape.

However, given their considerable size, even when curled up, they stood several meters tall, barely finding refuge behind the Elder Ape, who was only as tall as an average person.

In doing so, they inadvertently added a touch of comedy to the scene.

The Elder Ape was quite speechless at the behavior of the two beasts.

Turning around, he slammed his staff into the ground and scolded:

“You two, can’t you be a bit more ambitious?”

“Quarreling in the nest, you’re quite fierce. But now, merely at the sight of the Divine Phoenix Aura, you’re scared to this extent…”

The two beasts hung their heads, listening to the Elder Ape’s reprimand.

Then, the Elder Ape turned back to Lin Jing and asked:

“I still don’t know, what is your name?”

Lin Jing hurriedly clasped his hands in salute and replied:

“Senior, my name is Lin Jing.”

The Elder Ape nodded, then turned to the two beasts and said:

“This is Lin Jing. When I’m not here, you must protect him and not bully him.”

“If I come back and find out you’ve bullied him, watch out. I will discipline you thoroughly when I return.”

Upon hearing this, the two beasts shivered and swiftly shook their heads.

“Also, you two stop fighting. The Eternal Life Vine, I’m giving it to Lin Jing. I’m going inside this time to find some other Spirit Fruits suitable for you to consume,”

“Each of you will have some, so there’ll be no need to fight over them anymore.”

As the Elder Ape finished speaking, the two beasts couldn’t help looking at him, their eyes shining with eagerness.

However, the Elder Ape paid them no mind.

He then turned to Lin Jing and said:

“Soon, I’ll be going into the heart of Immortal Crossing Island to find a cultivation technique for you, which will be required to ripen the Spirit Plants.”

“This trip will take a few days, so you should cultivate here during this time. Little Gold and Little Black, I’ve already told them, and they will not harm you.”

“Alright, Senior Ape,” Lin Jing responded.

After the Elder Ape had finished instructing Lin Jing and gave one last command to Little Gold and Little Black, he soared into the air and left the island.

Once the Elder Ape had gone, the two beasts cocked their heads and looked at Lin Jing.

Perhaps the Elder Ape’s words had taken effect, for the two beasts no longer seemed as scared when looking at Lin Jing.

And Lin Jing, facing two huge creatures,

and considering that they were Nascent Soul Stage titans, still felt somewhat afraid inside.

After all, he was just a Junior Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage; in a real fight, he wouldn’t be enough to fill the gap between their teeth.

However, the current docile demeanor of the two beasts considerably lessened Lin Jing’s fear for them.

In the coming days,

Lin Jing planned to communicate well with the two beasts…
