Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space - Chapter 209
Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Heading to the Zhang Family
After pondering for a moment, Lin Jing suddenly thought of the Demon Cultivator he had encountered before…
If they met him, then the Li Family Patriarch might not truly be able to escape.
Therefore, he quickly asked Huang Qingling,
“What exactly is going on?”
“Could it be that like last time, another Demon Cultivator with terrifying cultivation has emerged within the Secret Realm?”
Huang Qingling shook her head repeatedly,
“It’s still not very clear…”
“When the incident occurred, the Zhang Family Patriarch was training in the Secret Realm with Zhang Yuan, and it’s said that both of them were severely injured.”
“The news has just come out, and many people have rushed to the Zhang Family to inquire about the situation.”
“Moreover, the message coming from the Secret Realm…”
“Those who were exploring inside have all run out, scared, and the entrance to the Secret Realm has been temporarily sealed.”
“What about Zhang Yuan, Brother Zhang, is he alright?”
“I remember that recently, he has been continuously with their family’s patriarch…”
“I’m not quite sure…” Huang Qingling replied as she shook her head, then continued,
“I came to find you to say…”
“How about we call on Li Tangyu and his sister to head to the Zhang Family to see…”
“Console Zhang Yuan and also take the opportunity to find out what exactly is happening inside the Secret Realm.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing pondered for a moment and then nodded,
“That seems like a good idea…”
Subsequently…
After the two had finished discussing, they were just about to leave the house.
But just then, a knocking sound came from outside…
“Thump thump thump”
As the knocking ended, another voice came from outside the door.
“Brother Lin, are you there…?”
The voice turned out to be Li Tangyu’s; unexpectedly, he had arrived first.
“Brother Li has come; if there’s nothing wrong, he wouldn’t seek me out. It seems it must also be about the Secret Realm…” Lin Jing said to Huang Qingling.
Huang Qingling nodded in agreement,
“That’s likely…”
“Let’s go and see…”
“Brother Li, wait a moment, we’re coming…”
After speaking, Lin Jing and Huang Qingling headed toward the door together.
Upon reaching the door and opening it…
Li Tangyu and his sister Li Qingqing were standing at the doorway, with Ning Yue also behind them.
“Brother Li, Daoist Qingqing, Daoist Ning…”
“What brings you here…” Lin Jing asked.
Li Tangyu then spoke up,
“Brother Lin, an incident occurred in the Demon Race Secret Realm…”
As soon as Li Tangyu started speaking, Huang Qingling interrupted him,
“I’ve just mentioned this to Lin Jing…”
“Oh…”
Li Tangyu was momentarily stunned, but then said,
“So you all already know…”
“Yes, Daoist Qingling just came over and told me.”
“We were even saying we should find you, and then the few of us could go visit Brother Zhang together, as we heard he was injured.” Lin Jing spoke directly.
“Yes, I also heard about it and had the same intention, so that’s why I came looking for you, Brother Lin…” Li Tangyu then explained.
“Then how about we set off now?” Lin Jing asked Li Tangyu.
“Okay…” Li Tangyu nodded.
At that moment, Lin Jing looked towards Ning Yue, who was standing behind the two.
Then he asked with some confusion,
“Is Daoist Ning also coming along?”
After all, Ning Yue had never met Zhang Yuan, nor was she familiar with him, so going there at this time seemed somewhat unreasonable.
Li Tangyu hastened to explain,
“Miss Ning is here to find Sister Qingling…”
“To find Daoist Qingling?”
Lin Jing was initially taken aback, but then he quickly realized.
It likely had something to do with himself.
After all, previously, in order to deliver Elixir Medicine to Elder Yu, he had contact with Huang Qingling while posing as the Elixir Valley Heir.
And this matter was not concealed by Huang Qingling; Li Tangyu was also aware of it.
So…
Ning Yue wanted to learn about the ‘Elixir Valley Heir’ through Huang Qingling…
“Looking for me?” Huang Qingling asked, puzzled.
“Yes…”
Ning Yue nodded.
Then, she stepped forward and said to Huang Qingling:
“Huang Daoist friend…”
“I have something I’d like to ask your advice on…”
Huang Qingling looked at Ning Yue and suddenly recalled the events of the previous day, so she opened her mouth and said:
“I don’t know what Ning Daoist friend is seeking me out for. Is it related to the Elixir Valley Heir?”
“Yes…”
“I heard from Young Master Li that you’ve had interactions with the Elixir Valley Heir…”
“I would like to ask, how does Huang Daoist friend view the Elixir Valley Heir? What do you think of his character?”
Upon hearing this, Huang Qingling replied directly:
“As for the Elixir Valley Heir, I don’t know how others see him, but I think he’s quite decent…”
Having just finished speaking, Huang Qingling felt something was off, so she continued to ask:
“By the way…”
“Didn’t you go to the black market last night to find the Elixir Valley Heir?”
“Could it be that you didn’t find him?”
Li Tangyu shook his head and explained:
“We did meet the Elixir Valley Heir yesterday, but we didn’t come to an agreement…”
“Hmm? What happened?”
“That shouldn’t be! I thought the Elixir Valley Heir was quite amiable…”
“How could it be that you didn’t come to an agreement?”
“Could it be that his asking price was simply too high?”
Huang Qingling looked at the two of them, her voice filled with curiosity.
At that moment, Ning Yue truly didn’t know how to explain the situation to Huang Qingling, so she could only say:
“It’s not that!”
“It’s just that this matter, when discussed, is rather complicated…”
“Let me explain…”
Li Tangyu then took over the conversation, explaining to Huang Qingling:
“Originally, the Ning Family Patriarch wanted to enter Elixir Valley personally to seek advice from the people there…”
“But Elixir Valley does not welcome outsiders…”
“And this seed is far too precious; even the Ning Family Patriarch didn’t dare to make a decision lightly…”
Li Tangyu briefly summarized the matter to Huang Qingling.
After Li Tangyu finished explaining, Huang Qingling pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly:
“In that case…”
“Indeed, that would be difficult to handle, after all, you don’t know each other and lack a foundation of trust, so you can’t just rashly entrust the fate of your family to a stranger.”
After saying this, Huang Qingling once again turned to Ning Yue, speaking very earnestly:
“If it were up to me, I might be more inclined to trust the Elixir Valley Heir a bit more.”
“Because when facing him, I had a familiar feeling and thought that he was trustworthy…”
“Of course, this is just an intuition…”
“But I trust my intuition.”
“However, since this matter concerns the entire Ning Family, it’s not my place to make a decision for you.”
“Ultimately, you’ll have to make up your own minds about this.”
Ning Yue nodded, bowed in thanks to Huang Qingling:
“Thank you, Huang Daoist friend. I understand.”
At that moment, Lin Jing spoke up, asking Ning Yue:
“Apart from the Elixir Valley Heir, do you have any other methods?”
“In the Qingyuan Sword Sect, there is a remarkable person proficient in cultivating Spirit Plants…” Ning Yue replied.
“Now our family Patriarch, along with Young Master Li’s grandfather, have already gone up to the Qingyuan Sword Sect…”
“Before leaving, the Patriarch mentioned that he didn’t have high hopes, and they wanted to try their luck…”
“If it really doesn’t work out, we might have no choice but to approach the Elixir Valley Heir once again…”
Ning Yue stated candidly.
After Ning Yue finished speaking, Lin Jing only offered a few words of consolation and did not attempt to make excuses for the ‘Elixir Valley Heir.’
Because there was no need to do so—if they naturally trusted him, they did. If they didn’t, no amount of persuasion from Lin Jing would have any effect.
Moreover, intervening in this matter would be unreasonable for him.
Afterward, the group finished their discussion and set off toward the Zhang Family.
On the bustling street leading to the Zhang Family, the crowd surged back and forth, never ceasing.
Lin Jing, Li Tangyu, and Ning Yue talked about Alchemy as they walked.
Li Qingqing and Huang Qingling, clearly uninterested, were glancing around every which way…
But just then…
As Li Qingqing, idling about, craned her neck to look ahead, she suddenly exclaimed:
“Liu Yiyuan…”
