Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space - Chapter 349

Chapter 349: Chapter 50 Tracking

Two days later.

Lin Jing, still peddling ‘Yan Shuishui’ as usual, finally received the message from Lu Youjiu.

According to their previous discussion, once Lin Jing and his companion received the message, they were to meet up with Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers first.

And the meeting place was a Nameless Isle, located between the Thousand Islands Domain and Black Xing Island.

The happiest person upon receiving the message wasn’t Lin Jing but Yan Wanfei.

Because in the coming time, he could finally stop pretending.

Eventually,

under Yan Wanfei’s urging, Lin Jing continued to carry the ‘Yan Shuishui’ and left Black Xing Island.

Soon after leaving Black Xing Island, Lin Jing sensed something was amiss.

Then, he directly deployed his Divine Sense to probe behind him.

With Lin Jing’s Golden Core Late Stage Divine Sense, he could scan a great distance even without using additional enhancements.

Quickly, Lin Jing detected a sneaky figure.

That figure was none other than the old man who had previously attempted to attack Lin Jing with Divine Sense, only to be injured by Lin Jing’s counterattack with Divine Sense.

This person was actually trailing behind Lin Jing, tracking him.

It seemed,

he held a grudge over what had happened that day, which is why he took advantage of Lin Jing’s departure from the island to target him.

However, after scanning the area with his Divine Sense, Lin Jing found only this one person and no accomplices.

Relying solely on himself to ambush them, it was unclear how he could be so bold.

But Lin Jing made no sound about it, pretending as though he hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

At the same time, Lin Jing transmitted a message to Yan Wanfei:

“We are being followed…”

Upon hearing this, Yan Wanfei likewise sent a message back to Lin Jing, saying:

“I had a feeling something was off. So we’re being followed, and I thought it was just my imagination.”

“The person tracking us is too far for my Divine Sense to detect. Do you know who it is?”

As the two communicated silently, Lin Jing maintained his speed and continued flying forward.

Lin Jing sent a message back to Yan Wanfei:

“I know, it’s that ‘old geezer’ you mentioned before, the first one who wanted to buy you, and there’s no one else, just him alone.”

Yan Wanfei was shocked, and then spoke:

“It’s him…”

The voice was crisp and pleasant, and incredibly childish.

It was the voice Yan Wanfei had imitated when he was pretending to be Yan Shuishui.

Lin Jing hurriedly transmitted a message:

“Be careful not to give anything away…”

“Oh, right…”

Yan Wanfei quickly stopped talking and sent a message back to Lin Jing.

“Damn it, that old geezer hasn’t learned his lesson? He dares to follow us, must think he has the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard.”

“As far as I remember, he only has the Cultivation of the Golden Core Middle Stage. Brother Lin, I want to take him down…”

“How about this, we work together and you play along?”

Lin Jing, puzzled, then transmitted back to Yan Wanfei:

“What do you plan to do?”

Yan Wanfei chuckled, saying:

“Hehe…”

“He wants me, right? So it’s about time I ‘give’ myself to him…”

“When I get close to him, I’ll catch him off guard and give him a jab. This time, I’ve got to stab a few holes in him, no matter what.”

As he spoke, Yan Wanfei started grinding his teeth with hatred:

“This old geezer, daring to harbor thoughts about me, I’ll make sure he doesn’t live to tell the tale.”

Lin Jing was at a loss for words, and after a moment, he replied:

“Alright…”

And so, Lin Jing continued to fly forward at an unhurried pace.

And that ‘old geezer’ continued trailing behind them.

……

Until they had traveled far from Black Xing Island, to an area void of human presence.

Just then,

a middle-aged cultivator clad in a green robe suddenly appeared in front of them,

Hovering in the air, the cultivator’s Golden Core Early Stage Cultivation burst forth, his powerful aura calming the nearby sea.

At the same time, his Flying Sword was already levitated and pointed directly at Lin Jing ahead.

Besides this, a treasure pearl hovered above his head, emitting a purple glow that enveloped him.

Seeing the situation, he seemed ready to attack.

Seeing the cultivator block his way, Lin Jing’s eyebrows knitted together, and he stopped in his tracks.

At this moment, the old man who had been hanging behind swiftly caught up to them.

Soon, Lin Jing was surrounded by both men.

After catching up, the old man was sneering sinisterly at Lin Jing:

“Hehehe…”

“Boy, you sure are arrogant. I really don’t know where someone with just the Golden Core First Layer Cultivation gets their confidence from, even daring to provoke me, Senior Qi Gui.”

Lin Jing turned around, glaring coldly at the old man who claimed to be Senior Qi Gui, while being cautious of the Golden Core Early Stage cultivator who seemed ready to attack at any moment.

“It seems you’ve been planning this for a while,” Lin Jing said to Senior Qi Gui.

“Hehehehe…”

“Of course.”

“Hmph!” Lin Jing snorted coldly before saying,

“Do you really think just the two of you can keep me here?”

As Lin Jing spoke, his aura gathered and pressed directly towards the two cultivators, unafraid and willing to face them both.

It seemed as though he was prepared to take on both at the same time.

“I know your Divine Sense is special, comparable to a Nascent Soul. How could you not be prepared?”

With that said, the Elder Qi Gui reached into his Storage Bag and took out a purple bead, just like the one the middle-aged cultivator had.

After infusing Spiritual Power into it, the purple light emanating from the bead engulfed Elder Qi Gui within its glow.

“Under the protection of the Void Soul Bead, any attack of the Divine Sense will be weakened. Your Divine Sense attacks pose no threat to us.”

“Otherwise, why do you think I’d dare to trouble you?”

After hearing this, Lin Jing fell silent.

“Brother Lin, do you have a strategy?”

Surrounded by two Golden Core cultivators, Yan Wanfei also realized the situation was dire and quickly asked Lin Jing.

Lin Jing communicated telepathically to Yan Wanfei:

“Do you have the confidence to deal with that ‘old geezer’?”

“I want you to take on the ‘old geezer’, while I handle the middle-aged cultivator myself.”

Yan Wanfei responded telepathically:

“No problem. Although the ‘old geezer’ is at the fourth layer of Golden Core, I’m from the Green Illusion Demon Ox clan, and with my cultivation at the third layer of Golden Core, I can handle him easily.”

“I’m more worried about you, Brother Lin. You only have a first-layer Golden Core, while that middle-aged cultivator is at the third layer.”

“And also…”

“They have the Void Soul Bead, and your Divine Sense attack won’t work.”

Hearing Yan Wanfei’s telepathic message, Lin Jing then sent back:

“As long as you’re fine, that’s all that matters. Don’t forget, I’m also a Body Refinement Cultivator…”

“Later on, we’ll stick to the original plan. I will surrender you to the ‘old geezer’ and then you can act when the opportunity arises.”

“No problem, leave it to me when the time comes. You hold them off first. After I deal with the ‘old geezer’, I’ll come help you.”

Within moments, Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei had already finished their deliberations.

The auras of Elder Qi Gui and the middle-aged cultivator had accumulated to the point of attack.

Just then, Lin Jing suddenly spoke out to Elder Qi Gui:

“You want this little Fox Clan girl?”

Elder Qi Gui was momentarily stunned, his gaze turning toward ‘Yan Shuishui’ filled with greed.

He then directed his intense gaze back to Lin Jing, revealing a trace of cruelty in his eyes.

“Once I kill you, that little Fox Clan girl will still be mine.”

Lin Jing then said:

“If that’s the case, I’ll just destroy this little demon girl now and make sure neither of you gets her.”

As he spoke, Lin Jing grabbed ‘Yan Shuishui’ and lifted her over his head, channeling all his Spiritual Power, ready to destroy her.

Yan Wanfei, too, very appropriately showed an expression of panic and despair.

Seeing this, Elder Qi Gui became desperate.

His vendetta against Lin Jing was partly due to the injury Lin Jing inflicted on him.

Another reason was his desire for the little Fox Clan girl Lin Jing had, who was of great use to him.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have specifically called his friend to help capture Lin Jing.

“You dare…”

Elder Qi Gui bellowed angrily, about to rush at Lin Jing.

“If you dare touch a hair on this little girl, I’ll make sure you wish you were dead.”

No sooner had Elder Qi Gui finished speaking when Lin Jing’s next move took both Elder Qi Gui and the middle-aged cultivator by surprise.

Lin Jing abruptly threw ‘Yan Shuishui’ towards Elder Qi Gui and dashed in the opposite direction.

Elder Qi Gui saw Lin Jing’s action, but his mind was completely focused on ‘Yan Shuishui’, who Lin Jing had thrown.

Without giving Lin Jing another glance, he promptly said to the other man:

“He’s trying to escape, stop him and activate the Void Soul Bead at full strength. Watch out for his Divine Sense attack.”

The middle-aged cultivator had also been preoccupied with ‘Yan Shuishui’ until he heard Elder Qi Gui’s warning. He quickly came to his senses, channeling his Spiritual Power to drive the Void Soul Bead fully.

And tried to prevent Lin Jing’s escape attempt.

But…

At that moment, the unexpected occurred.

Two strong auras erupted simultaneously.

One came from Lin Jing, and the other from the seemingly harmless little Fox Clan girl.

The suddenness of the auras caught both cultivators off-guard.

……

Just as the middle-aged cultivator above him wanted to intercept his escape with the Void Soul Bead, a smile crossed Lin Jing’s lips, and at that moment, he and Yan Wanfei simultaneously sprang into action.

The middle-aged cultivator, who had been flying towards Lin Jing’s direction to intercept, was not far from him.

Such a short distance was extremely dangerous for a Body Refinement Cultivator to close in.

However, by the time the middle-aged cultivator realized this, it was too late.

Because Lin Jing, with the terrifying speed of a Body Refinement Cultivator, charged straight in front of the middle-aged cultivator.

Seeing Lin Jing rush at him with such speed, the middle-aged cultivator was shocked and pale.

Just as he tried to defend, Lin Jing threw a punch down.

The middle-aged cultivator had just barely managed to conjure up a double-layered Spiritual Shield when it was shattered by Lin Jing’s fist, which then landed squarely on him.

As the fist struck his body, the Spiritual Power from within Lin Jing burst forth through his fist, rushing directly into the middle-aged cultivator’s body.

“Pu…”

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the middle-aged cultivator, not even having the chance to react, was severely injured by Lin Jing’s punch.
