Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space - Chapter 353
Chapter 353: Chapter 54 Thousand Islands Domain
Next.
Money exchanged hands, goods were delivered, everything went smoothly, and both parties were very “satisfied” with completing the transaction.
After successfully selling “Yan Shuishui,” Lin Jing did not leave immediately but instead took a couple more turns around Black Shark City.
Only after confirming that the two cultivators had not attempted to follow him did Lin Jing leave Black Xing Island.
He headed to the uninhabited island to meet up with Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers.
…
…
When Lin Jing arrived at the uninhabited island after several hours of flying, Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers immediately came to greet him.
“Is everything taken care of?” Lu Youjiu asked as soon as Lin Jing approached.
Lin Jing nodded and said, “It’s done, I’ve sold Niu San to the two of them.”
After that, Lin Jing detailed the transaction process to the two of them.
Having finished the story, Lin Jing took out a Storage Bag from his body and handed it to Lu Youjiu, saying:
“This is the Spirit Stone obtained from selling Niu San, a total of 50,000, all here.”
Lu Youjiu looked at the Storage Bag in Lin Jing’s hand and didn’t reach out to take it, but instead chuckled:
“Heh heh…”
“Niu San turned out to be quite valuable, huh? I initially thought if he could sell for 30,000 Spirit Stones, that would have already been pretty good.”
“I didn’t expect him to actually be worth 50,000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones…”
As soon as Lu Youjiu finished speaking, Holaw Three Rivers immediately said:
“If it had been a real Fox Clan girl, selling for this price would have been a bit of a loss.”
“However, we were doing it for the mission, and it’s alright to lose a bit. The price of 50,000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones is just right, and Lin Daoyou’s final action should also dispel their suspicions.”
“Lin Daoyou did well.”
Lu Youjiu nodded and then said to Holaw Three Rivers:
“Next up, it’s our turn to take action.”
“Mhm,” Holaw Three Rivers nodded in response.
Then, Lu Youjiu looked at the Storage Bag in Lin Jing’s hand and spoke again:
“You give these Spirit Stones to San He!”
“After the mission is completed, we’ll divide up these Spirit Stones with the final mission reward,” he said.
Lin Jing handed the Spirit Stones to Holaw Three Rivers and then said:
“I’ve already taken the Earthflame Marrow Crystal, so you three can divide these final Spirit Stones amongst yourselves; I don’t need them.”
But it was at this point that Holaw Three Rivers spoke up:
“These Spirit Stones are a minor matter, we’ll talk about it after the mission is completed.”
“For now, the mission is the most important.”
Hearing this, Lin Jing nodded.
Afterwards, following a discussion, they decided to start the journey immediately.
Then, Lu Youjiu summoned a Flying Boat.
And together, the three of them boarded the Flying Boat and flew in the direction of the Thousand Islands Domain.
……
Indeed, the Flying Boat was quite fast. In less than a day, they had already reached the sea region where the Thousand Islands Domain was located.
The Thousand Islands Domain, in the southern outer sea of the Demonic Monster Sea, is a very famous sea area.
It is named for the thousands of islands it contains.
The islands in the Thousand Islands Domain vary in size; the smallest are just a few square kilometers, while the largest span tens of thousands of square kilometers.
On the largest islands of the Thousand Islands Domain, there are forests, lakes, mountain ranges, and so on—almost all kinds of terrain.
They are almost comparable to the mainland.
Moreover, the Thousand Islands Domain isn’t very far from Bihai City.
As a result, many cultivators settled in the Thousand Islands Domain.
To avoid any disturbance, these powerful cultivators, some alone and others in groups, occupied an island each.
As for the lower-cultivation cultivators and some mortals who have always lived here,
they became the island inhabitants.
Because their cultivation is too weak, or they have no cultivation at all, they simply cannot leave the island too far and venture into the deep-sea region.
Reluctantly, they can only seek to survive on the various islands of the Thousand Islands Domain.
These people…
Either depend on some powerful Island Masters and work for them, or they are self-sufficient on some desolate and unclaimed small islands.
All in all, living here is not entirely impossible. If they encounter kind Island Masters, their lives can even be much better than those of some cultivators in Bihai City.
The only thing they fear is encountering those cruel and bloodthirsty Demon Cultivators.
And Dai Mao happens to be one of those Demon Cultivators, and moreover, he is exceptionally cruel and fond of killing.
Originally, after Dai Mao occupied Flame Island, he nearly exterminated all the original inhabitants and low-level cultivators on the island.
The few who were left mostly fled to other islands.
The information about the island previously obtained by Holaw Three Rivers actually came from these original island inhabitants.
……
The Flying Boat wove tirelessly through the sea, bypassing several islands on the outskirts of the Thousand Islands Domain, and finally stopped at a small island.
Stepping out of the Flying Boat, Lu Youjiu pointed to an island shrouded in a light curtain in the distance and said:
“That’s Li Yan Island.”
“Dai Mao has made too many enemies, and he seldom leaves the island. But with the Fifth-Rank Trap-Killing Formation there, nobody comes to trouble him.”
The size of Li Yan Island was actually not small; from where Lin Jing stood, he could not even see its edge.
At that moment, Holaw Three Rivers took out a communication token and handed it to Lin Jing, and then said to him:
“Lin Daoyou, keep watch in this vicinity. If those two return, you notify us.”
Lin Jing looked at the two of them, puzzled, and asked:
“`
“Then what about you?”
“To prevent any other riffraff from escaping, we still need to make some preparations and set up some formations around Li Yan Island,” Lu Youjiu subsequently said.
“Mm, good…” Lin Jing nodded in agreement.
Soon thereafter.
Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers, the two of them, left on their flying swords.
……
And so, Lin Jing waited on the island for two days.
It wasn’t until the third day that Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers had both returned, while the two Golden Core Cultivators who took ‘Yan Shuishui’ had still not come back.
The three of them continued to wait. It wasn’t until the fourth day that they finally saw the two figures from a distance.
They brought back not only Yan Shuishui but also two little girls.
No wonder they showed up so late; it turned out that after completing the transaction with Lin Jing, the two Golden Core Cultivators, one tall and one short, went to buy other little girls.
However.
These two little girls were not from the demon race, but humans.
The two approached the coast of Li Yan Island and then took out a token from their persons. They began to form hand seals and chanted softly under their breath.
After a while, a crack appeared in the light screen of the formation, large enough for the two to pass through.
Afterward, the two of them entered the crack with Yan Shuishui and the other two little girls and then flew toward the center of Li Yan Island.
After the two had gone in, the crack in the formation also disappeared.
At this moment, Lu Youjiu spoke up, wearing a light smile, “Alright…”
“Now, it’s my turn to make a move.”
As he spoke, a soaring sword aura rose from Lu Youjiu’s body.
A Cold Light Longsword filled with piercing coldness was already in his hand.
Now, looking at Lu Youjiu, his gaze was profound as he stared at Li Yan Island, and there was a kind of despising-the-world demeanor about him.
“Are we going to have a drink for today’s battle?” Holaw Three Rivers asked.
Lu Youjiu looked down at the wine gourd at his waist, and then with a smile, he said, “It depends.”
“San He, leave those riffraff to you.”
“And Brother Lin, please help San He keep an eye out. Don’t let any other riffraff escape.”
“No problem…” Lin Jing replied.
After that, Lu Youjiu took off directly, flying towards Li Yan Island.
Lin Jing and Holaw Three Rivers followed Lu Youjiu, flying together toward Li Yan Island.
When they approached close to Li Yan Island, they stopped before getting too near.
At this time, Lu Youjiu said to Lin Jing, “We can’t go any further. Ahead is the range of the Fifth-Rank Trap-Killing Formation.”
“Once we step in, we’ll trigger the Trap-Killing Formation.”
“This Trap-Killing Formation even has a hidden function?”
Lin Jing looked at the calm sea before him, where not the slightest trace of the formation could be detected.
“Of course…” Lu Youjiu stated directly.
Then, Lu Youjiu waved his hand, and a white sword qi burst forth violently, heading straight for the light barrier above Li Yan Island.
“Lin Daoyou, this…”
Lin Jing was taken aback, not understanding why Lu Youjiu suddenly unleashed a burst of sword qi at this moment.
However, right after the sword qi was released and touched the light screen,
An anomaly arose at this moment.
They saw a murky grey fog suddenly appear before the group, enveloping the island of Li Yan within it.
And within this grey fog, there were white silhouettes flashing incessantly, as if moving at high speed within the fog.
“Do you see those white silhouettes?”
Lu Youjiu lifted his sword, pointing towards the constantly flickering white shadows, and said.
“Mm,” Lin Jing nodded.
“These are actually Flying Swords, but they are mere illusions and not physical entities.”
“This is the Killing Formation within the Trap-Killing Formation, the Myriad Swords Killing Formation.”
“Don’t be fooled by the unassuming appearance of these light swords; with our level of cultivation, we could at most withstand a single strike.”
“Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator, should they arrive, wouldn’t last long. Coupled with another entrapment formation, even if a Nascent Soul Cultivator did get trapped, without special escape methods, it would be difficult to avoid death.”
“It’s that powerful…”
Lin Jing frowned as he watched the white shadows shuttling rapidly through the grey fog, and he couldn’t help feeling a chill.
“However, a Fifth-Rank Trap-Killing Formation is actually nothing much to speak of,” Lu Youjiu said at this time.
“Do you know why San He took this mission?” he asked Lin Jing soon after.
Lin Jing looked towards Holaw Three Rivers and shook his head, “I don’t…”
Holaw Three Rivers spoke up directly, “I took this mission because one of the rewards for this mission is a high-level formation tome.”
“If I can get my hands on this formation tome, it won’t be long before I can raise my formation level by another rank.”
Lu Youjiu then added, “San He is currently a Fourth-Rank Array Master. If he advances by one more rank, he will be a Fifth-Rank Array Master. By then, he alone would be able to set up a Fifth-Rank Trap-Killing Formation.”
“This mission is perfect, as it would give access not only to that formation tome.”
“Once we eliminate Dai Mao, San He can also study this Trap-Killing Formation, which might help him advance even faster.”
“So that’s how it is, no wonder…” Lin Jing realized and said.
