Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

56  Chapter 56 Crisis Resolved

With his feelings in tow, Elder Yu took out his Storage Bag and pulled out a gray-black Array Plate from within.

"You are in greater danger in the Fang Market, so take this Array Plate; I'm lending it to you for now."

"Elder Yu…"

Just as Lin Jing opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Elder Yu.

"Kid, don't dawdle. I'm lending it to you, not handing it out for keeps."

"Take it!"

Lin Jing looked at Elder Yu, feeling a surge of warmth.

"Okay."

Lin Jing reached out and accepted the Array Plate from Elder Yu's hand.

The Array Plate was covered in dense Formation Patterns, with five indentations for placing Spirit Stones. The Array could only be activated by placing Spirit Stones in these slots.

"This defensive Array Plate was specially made for me by an Array Master. It's embedded with several sets of complex Formations and has astonishing defensive power."

"Despite its unassuming appearance, it can withstand any attack not exceeding the strength of a Golden Core Stage cultivator."

With that said, he took out five Medium Grade Spirit Stones from the Storage Bag and handed them to Lin Jing.

"Here, these are specifically for activating the Array Plate."

"Elder Yu, there's no need, I have my own," Lin Jing replied, taking out the Medium Grade Spirit Stones he had received from selling Seven-Star Grass and showing them to Elder Yu.

"How many can you have? Just take these; this Array Plate consumes five Medium Grade Spirit Stones each time it's activated."

Without waiting for Lin Jing to respond, he stuffed the Spirit Stones into Lin Jing's hand.

Then he continued speaking to Lin Jing:

"Lin lad, this Array Plate uses up Spirit Stones quite fast. Installing the Stones only lasts for half an hour, and if someone attacks, that duration may be even shorter."

"You must be extra cautious, and quickly replace the Spirit Stones once the spiritual power is insufficient."

"I will remember that," Lin Jing nodded.

"Thank you, Elder Yu."

......

After leaving Elder Yu's place, Lin Jing went to the talisman counter to purchase several Second Rank Talismans as a precaution.

His current level of cultivation was really too low and definitely not something he could raise in a short span of time.

And since even the Fang Market was now somewhat unsafe, he had no choice but to rely on these external objects for self-protection.

However, luckily, he could now concoct Elixir Medicines for sale and basically wouldn't lack Spirit Stones.

Once he finished buying talismans, Lin Jing returned home.

Having received the Array Plate from Elder Yu, Lin Jing now felt considerably more at ease. Next, it was time to concoct Elixir Medicines.

"Enter the System Space," Lin Jing silently recited in his heart.

Immediately after, his vision blurred, and he appeared within the System Space.

The Spirit Field inside the System Space was now sprouting Spirit Plants, which were thriving and growing robustly.

Standing by the field and looking out, the lush greenery was refreshing and pleasing to the eye.

These Spirit Plants had been planted for a month. Not long after reaping the Seven-Star Grass, Lin Jing noticed that the price of Alchemy Ingredients was showing an upward trend, so he planted these, to be used for concocting Second Rank Elixir Medicines.

And now, just one month later, the price of Alchemy Ingredients had nearly doubled, almost a full twofold increase from before.

The current batch of Spirit Plants had been planted for too short a time; to harvest them, he would likely need to wait another half a year.

Whether the price of Alchemy Ingredients would fall again by the time these Spirit Plants matured, Lin Jing couldn't tell.

However, looking at the current situation, it seems quite unlikely.

After spending some time in the Spirit Field and checking the growth conditions of the plants, finding no abnormalities, Lin Jing entered the Alchemy Room with peace of mind.

Inside the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing sat cross-legged on the ground and first calmed his mind.

Then he began Alchemy, just as he had always done: skillfully processing the ingredients, kindling the fire, and when the time was right, he added them to the Pill Furnace one by one…

This seamless sequence of actions was something that Lin Jing had done countless times before, so practiced that he couldn't become any more proficient.

...

...

...

The minutes passed, and Lin Jing entered the final, critical stage of alchemy.

Unlike the first time, the experienced Lin Jing showed no signs of panic. His gaze was steady as he watched the pill furnace.

Although beads of sweat still formed on his forehead, he had not yet reached his limit; perhaps his divine sense had strengthened with the long hours spent in alchemy.

After a while, the fragrance of elixirs wafted from the pill furnace, and the system prompt sounded at this moment.

"Elixir medicine refining successful, alchemy proficiency +24."

There was no further movement; clearly, he had not produced a Pure Elixir.

Upon opening the pill furnace, there were two superior, three medium grade, totaling five Rejuvenation Elixirs. This time, he hadn't even managed to refine a supreme elixir.

Lin Jing sighed and stored the elixirs away.

Having finished the alchemy, Lin Jing next needed to sit in meditation to recover his energy. Although he hadn't reached his limit yet, he was close.

In his current state, continuing to refine would surely end in failure.

"System."

Lin Jing summoned the System Space.

"Leave System Space."

Then, in a blur, Lin Jing found himself back in his room.

For the next few hours, he needed to meditate properly to restore his energy.

......

Once Lin Jing had recovered, he once again entered the System Space.

This time, he did not continue refining the Rejuvenation Elixirs.

Lin Jing decided to complete part of the alchemy task assigned by Fang Market first.

This time, after refining three batches of elixirs, Lin Jing didn't feel the slightest bit fatigued.

From the three furnaces, a total of twelve elixir medicines were refined, and he was quite fortunate to have produced one Pure Elixir and two Supreme Elixirs.

Lin Jing had no plans to turn in these Pure and Supreme Elixirs; instead, he intended to sell them himself.

Lin Jing estimated that he could earn a fair amount of Spirit Stones upon completing the task given by Fang Market.

After all, the price for First Rank elixir medicines was quite high.

Additionally, the Alchemy Room also boosted the chance of improving the quality of elixirs, which significantly increased his odds of refining supreme elixirs compared to others.

Moreover, he was being provided with materials and did not need to spend his own Spirit Stones.

In the following period, Lin Jing spent each day in this manner.

Until one day, news arrived that the Golden Core experts from various families of Fang Market had mobilized, venturing deep into Night Mist Mountain Range to uncover the truth behind the Demonic Beast Tide.

Before this, they charged directly into the gathering ground of the Demonic Beasts, slaughtering most of them with a thunderous strike.

The Beast Tide had disintegrated before it had even begun.

With that, the crisis of the Beast Tide was temporarily averted.

Everyone was overjoyed, spreading the news and showering praise on the Golden Core Cultivators.

With the threat of the Beast Tide gone, life temporarily returned to peace, and even the streets began to bustle with more people.

However, Lin Jing had not left his home even once during this time.

It was Ning Yue who specifically came over to inform him of the Beast Tide crisis being resolved.

By the time he learned of this news, half a month had already passed since the wager with Li Tangyu.

Yet, Lin Jing still had not refined a Pure Body Restoration Pill.

However, he had already completed the alchemy task issued by Fang Market.

But of the 200 portions of alchemy ingredients he'd been given, more than half remained unused.

With the bonus provided by the Alchemy Room, he seldom failed when refining First Rank elixir medicines.

Besides, he had successfully produced a total of 12 Pure Elixirs of the First Rank.

It had to be said, the 20% success rate for producing Pure Elixirs was indeed formidable.

As long as there were two supreme elixirs in a batch, there was a 20% chance to upgrade to a Pure Elixir.

Additionally, the Alchemy Room also boosted the chance of improving the quality of elixirs, which significantly increased his odds of refining supreme elixirs compared to others.
