Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space - Chapter 497

Chapter 497: Chapter 193: The Purpose of Regional Division

Following that, Lin Jing walked into Yue Tian Hall together with Xue Yilin.

The interior of Yue Tian Hall was equally dignified.

At the very back of Yue Tian Hall, there stood a young man around thirty, with a handsome face.

There was actually something astonishing about this person, his eyes calm, and his gaze piercing as if tangible, directed at Lin Jing and his company.

Lin Jing even had the feeling as if this person could see right through him.

At this moment, Xue Yilin stepped forward, clasped his hands towards the man, and said,

“Island Master…”

“This is Lin Daoyou from Li Yan Island.”

By then, Lin Jing knew who the man before him was; he was the current Island Master of Yue Tian Island, the Divine Transformation Cultivator Bai Yi.

In the presence of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, Lin Jing naturally didn’t dare to act carelessly, so he also followed Xue Yilin’s lead and clasped his hands towards Bai Yi, saying,

“I am Lin Jing, and I have had the honor of meeting Lord Bai.”

Bai Yi looked down at Lin Jing, and then with a smile on his face, he said,

“Island Master Lin is far too courteous.”

“I must apologize for not informing you in advance and suddenly requesting your presence, I hope you do not take offense.”

Lin Jing then spoke,

“Lord Bai jests…”

“If Lord Bai has summoned me here, there must certainly be a pressing matter.”

Bai Yi nodded and said,

“Indeed…”

“I have come to seek your help with a certain matter.”

“Xue Yilin, explain it to him.”

Xue Yilin nodded and said,

“Yes, Island Master.”

Then, turning to Lin Jing, Xue Yilin said,

“Lin Daoyou, we would like you to use the Five Elements Divine Art to help us open a cavern.”

“Moreover, this cavern has something to do with the previous Island Master of Yue Tian Island, Li Mingwu.”

“Li Mingwu?” Lin Jing asked, puzzled, and then continued, “Wasn’t it said that he had vanished hundreds of years ago and is now presumed dead?”

Xue Yilin shook his head and replied,

“Previously…”

“We indeed thought that Li Mingwu had died.”

“You must have heard about the incident with the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm not too long ago.”

“A mysterious Divine Transformation Cultivator used the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm in an attempt to refine a thousand Golden Core Cultivators to assist his breakthrough and reach beyond the realm of Divinity Transformation.”

Lin Jing then looked at Xue Yilin and asked,

“Xue Daoyou, are you saying that this mysterious Divine Transformation Cultivator is none other than Li Mingwu?”

Xue Yilin nodded and said,

“Indeed, as you have guessed, Lin Daoyou, that mysterious cultivator is Li Mingwu.”

Upon hearing Xue Yilin’s confirmation,

Lin Jing was utterly shocked; he could hardly believe that the withered old man he had seen through Observation Mode before was actually Li Mingwu.

This was truly beyond belief.

Previously, Lin Jing had made specific inquiries from various sources and the information he got was that Li Mingwu had disappeared when his lifespan was nearing its end.

Now, hundreds of years later, it was feared that he had long since turned to dust.

Yet, unexpectedly, he was still alive.

Afterward, Lin Jing spoke, asking Xue Yilin,

“Xue Daoyou, has this been confirmed?”

Xue Yilin nodded and said,

“Lord Bai had hypothesized that Li Mingwu might have taken the Longevity Life-Extension Elixir, which is why he has not reached the end of his lifespan after all these years.”

“The Longevity Life-Extension Elixir?” Lin Jing asked, puzzled, and then continued, “I have heard of Lifespan Extension Pills, but never the Longevity Life-Extension Elixir.”

Xue Yilin spoke,

“The Longevity Life-Extension Elixir is an ancient recipe passed down from antiquity, a seventh-grade elixir medicine that is extremely rare. It is normal that Lin Daoyou has not seen it,”

“The Longevity Life-Extension Elixir’s effect of increasing one’s lifespan is tenfold that of the Lifespan Extension Pill.”

“However, now the main ingredient, Longevity Grass, for crafting the Longevity Life-Extension Elixir is nearly extinct, and even the recipe itself has been almost lost to time, which is why very few are aware of it.”

“No wonder…” Lin Jing nodded.

……

“Additionally…”

After explaining the Longevity Life-Extension Elixir to Lin Jing, Xue Yilin continued,

“The reason we are certain that the mysterious cultivator in the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm is Li Mingwu actually involves another factor…”

As he spoke, Xue Yilin glanced towards Bai Yi…

Seeing this, Bai Yi took out an ancient-looking scroll and threw it to Lin Jing.

“This scroll was found in a secret vault left by Li Mingwu; it records the evil sacrificial technique he used. You can take a look…”

Lin Jing caught the ancient-looking scroll and opened it carefully, then began to read intently.

…

…

After a while, Lin Jing lifted his head, suddenly saying,

“So that’s how it is…”

Inside the scroll was the exact sacrificial rite Li Mingwu had used in the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm.

It required the Golden Cores of a thousand Golden Core Cultivators, melted together to craft a single Blood Elixir, which after consumption, could help one break through to a realm above Divinity Transformation.

As for what lay beyond the realm of Divinity Transformation, the scroll did not specify.

Following that.

Lin Jing rolled the scroll back up and handed it to Bai Yi.

Bai Yi gestured with his hand, and the scroll flew back into his possession.

He then continued to speak,

“From the cultivators who were deceived into the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm, I learned that in a bid for self-rescue, they summoned the Heavenly Tribulation, disrupting Li Mingwu’s plan, and Li Mingwu was heavily injured trying to stop the tribulation.”

“Even though he once consumed a Longevity Life-Extension Elixir, I estimate it was at most of superior quality. After so many years, I suspect he is still on the verge of his life’s end.”

“Therefore…”

“Li Mingwu must have thought of using that evil sacrificial technique to attempt a breakthrough in his realm.”

“And now that his plan has failed and he has been injured by the Heavenly Tribulation, recovery will be extremely difficult.”

Bai Yi paused for a moment, then continued,

“To my knowledge, Li Mingwu had previously found an ancient cave hidden away by a great power within the Thousand Islands Domain. That cave may contain methods to heal, and Li Mingwu is very likely to head there.”

“Opening that cave requires a person who has cultivated the Five Elements Cultivation Technique. This is exactly why I asked Xue Yilin to invite you here, to help us open that cave.”

After listening, Lin Jing then asked,

“May I know where this cave is located?”

Bai Yi shook his head and said,

“I don’t know…”

“The location of that cave, only Li Mingwu knows.”

As soon as Bai Yi finished speaking, Xue Yilin addressed Lin Jing,

“Lin Daoyou, do you know why there is a regional power division conference this time?”

Lin Jing shook his head and then said,

“Please enlighten me, Xue Daoyou…”

Xue Yilin nodded and said,

“The division of the three major islands’ territories is actually to set up a surveillance array that can cover the entire Thousand Islands Domain, to monitor all unusual activities within it.”

“Additionally…”

“It is also to keep an eye on the actions of Li Mingwu.”

“When Li Mingwu attempts to open the cave, it will inevitably cause a special fluctuation in spiritual power. As soon as any such fluctuations arise, they cannot escape the surveillance of the formation.”

“At that time, we will be able to locate that cave through the formation.”

“However, constructing this large formation is quite costly, and at each critical point of the formation, the presence of at least one Nascent Soul Cultivator is required to oversee it.”

“Hence, there is this regional power division conference.”
