Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space-Chapter 267 - 250 Autumn Gathering

Chapter 267: Chapter 250 Autumn Gathering

The Five Elements Spiritual Root represents Lin Jing’s Spiritual Root, incorporating the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Born with the Five Elements, one’s fate is sealed for life.

The subsequent Medium Grade, then, is an assessment of the Spiritual Root’s talent.

The most direct manifestation of this is in spiritual energy perception and cultivation speed.

Normally, under ordinary circumstances,

the more diverse and numerous the attributes combined in a Spiritual Root, the poorer its quality becomes.

Just as it was for Lin Jing before.

Conversely, the fewer the attributes a Spiritual Root combines, the better its talent.

The best, of course, are the single-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

Such cultivators are naturally inclined to cultivate a single attribute and their cultivation speed is considerably faster than that of other cultivators.

Additionally, because of their Spiritual Root’s nature, they are more attuned to the spiritual power of a single attribute.

Cultivating such techniques becomes much easier for them.

Of course, cultivators with single-attribute Spiritual Roots are extremely rare.

It’s possible to encounter just one such individual among hundreds of thousands of cultivators.

They are exceptionally rare genius-type cultivators.

On the other hand, Lin Jing, who possesses the Five Elements Spiritual Root, naturally belongs to the worst kind.

Yet, Lin Jing managed to elevate his talent to Medium Grade with the aid of the Cleansing Spirit Liquid.

Although he still has the Five Elements Spiritual Root, it’s already much better than before.

The Cleansing Spirit Liquid is indeed a rare and precious natural treasure.

Lin Jing couldn’t help but think of the disaster that occurred in the land of spiritual cleansing.

“Could it be that the priest of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan attacked them because of the Cleansing Spirit Liquid?”

Soon after, Lin Jing dismissed this thought.

Since the Cleansing Spirit Liquid couldn’t be taken away, attacking them would be futile.

Truth be told, those who entered the realm of spiritual cleansing were important disciples from the three great Sects and from various families.

The likelihood that the Demon Cultivator Priest controlled the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants for revenge seemed more credible.

If that were the case, then it’s possible that the Cleansing Spirit Liquid was seized from this Demon Cultivator Priest.

However, this matter had nothing to do with Lin Jing, and knowing the truth wouldn’t be of any use.

……

Sometime later,

Lin Jing gathered his thoughts, stood up, and left the System Space.

After exiting the System Space, Lin Jing left his room, ventured into the yard, and stretched out lazily.

He took a deep breath.

Lin Jing felt that the Spiritual Energy inside Immortal City seemed much denser now.

Previously, limited by his Spiritual Root, the Spiritual Energy he could sense was not so dense and even somewhat thin.

Now, after the enhancement of his Spiritual Root’s talent, his perception was completely different from before.

This is the benefit of having an increased Spiritual Root talent.

This uplifted Lin Jing’s spirits tremendously.

It was nearing October at this time.

The afternoon sunlight wasn’t blinding.

The weather was no longer as sweltering as summer, and a gentle breeze was blowing, stirring the yellowing leaves and bringing a hint of cool autumn air.

Every deep autumn season, for some reason…

It always seems to evoke memories of hard-to-part waysides, making one unable to resist reminiscing…

Lin Jing looked up at the yellowing plane tree in the courtyard, his thoughts drifting far away as if returning to times past…

…

…

At that moment,

a series of knocks sounded on the door.

This knocking brought Lin Jing back from his complex reverie. After regaining his senses, he got up and walked towards the entrance.

Today,

who could the visitor be at the door?

Approaching the door, Lin Jing reached out and opened it.

Standing outside at this moment was Li Tangyu.

He was dressed in a snow-white robe with a straight collar, standing serenely with a gentle smile on his face.

“Brother Lin, sorry to disturb you…”

Li Tangyu began, his voice as amiable as ever.

This had always been his manner since Lin Jing knew him.

Describing him as ‘gentle and refined’ couldn’t be more fitting.

“Brother Li, it’s been a while,” Lin Jing greeted.

“Please, come in…”

With that, Lin Jing invited Li Tangyu into the yard.

Upon seeing the plane tree in the yard, Li Tangyu looked up and paused for a moment. After a short while, he said,

“Brother Lin, this plane tree in your courtyard lends a rather artistic touch at this time…”

Lin Jing gazed at the plane trees, covered in a layer of golden yellow, and couldn’t help but utter a sigh.

“Yes, autumn has arrived…”

Hearing this, Li Tangyu gave a light smile, then teased,

“I did not expect Brother Lin to have such sentimental moments.”

“It’s indeed rare…”

Lin Jing did not turn around, continuing to look at the yellowing plane trees in front of him, feeling the strong sense of autumn.

“Indeed…”

“Whenever autumn comes and I see these plane trees covered in yellow leaves, I can’t help but think, maybe someone is about to part ways again.”

As he said this, the smile that had been on Li Tangyu’s face suddenly turned somewhat unnatural.

Lin Jing was engrossed in the sense of autumn before him and didn’t notice the change.

Then there was a moment of silence, with neither of them speaking.

After a while,

Lin Jing shook off his emotions and asked with a smile to Li Tangyu,

“Brother Li, what brings you here today?”

Li Tangyu also smiled, though his smile seemed somewhat forced:

“It’s been a while since a few of us gathered.”

After hearing this, Lin Jing nodded:

“It’s been some time indeed.”

“Originally, after we emerged from the Demon Race Secret Realm, we mentioned getting together. But afterwards, we each got quite busy and never managed to do so.”

“What is it, Brother Li? Bringing this up now, do you have something in mind?”

Li Tangyu nodded and said,

“I won’t hide it from you, Brother Lin, indeed…”

“I came looking for you because I thought it would be good for us to get together here. Zhang Yuan just came out of the Demon Race Secret Realm and is now at home…”

“This time, we won’t go to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, but will meet directly at your place. I’ve noticed that your courtyard is actually quite nice…”

“Also, I haven’t had a taste of Brother Lin’s cooking in a long time, and I’m really starting to miss it.”

Li Tangyu spoke with utter sincerity.

Lin Jing, after hearing this, nodded in agreement:

“Brother Li’s suggestion, I think, is a good one.”

“We can summon Qing Ling, Qing Qing, and Zhang Yuan, a few of us…”

“It would be perfect for a reunion.”

“There’s no better day than today, how about it?” Lin Jing asked Li Tangyu.

“That’s exactly what I had in mind…” Li Tangyu said with a smile.

Lin Jing thought for a moment, then spoke:

“I’ll go inform Qing Ling, and then the two of us can go buy food ingredients.”

“You go back and inform Qing Qing, and then, let’s have Little Sparrow call Zhang Yuan over. What do you think, Brother Li?”

“Good…”

Li Tangyu nodded, agreeing to the plan.

The two of them then left together, heading out of the courtyard.

Once outside, they parted ways.

Lin Jing headed towards Huang Qingling’s courtyard, while Li Tangyu went back home to inform Li Qingqing.

Lin Jing’s courtyard was not far from Huang Qingling’s.

Soon, he arrived at Huang Qingling’s place.

After knocking on the door, it wasn’t long before Huang Qingling came out.

Huang Qingling was somewhat surprised by Lin Jing’s arrival.

But after Lin Jing explained his reason for coming, Huang Qingling agreed without hesitation.

The two of them made arrangements for Little Sparrow and then set out together to buy food ingredients.

……

Four hours later.

Lin Jing’s small courtyard was once again buzzing with an atmosphere of long-lost liveliness.

Lin Jing was busying himself in the kitchen, with Li Tangyu helping out beside him.

The others were in the pavilion in the yard, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

Lin Jing could even hear Li Qingqing constantly complaining to Huang Qingling and Zhang Yuan about her brother.

Of course.

These complaints were all about trivial matters.

For instance:

Li Tangyu had forgotten about a promise they made as children, or the gifts he gave her that weren’t quite to her liking.

Even when there was good food, he didn’t let her have her way, all of which were brought up by Li Qingqing.

Hearing these things, Lin Jing, who was bustling about in the kitchen, laughed out loud.

He then glanced at Li Tangyu.

To this, Li Tangyu could only give a bitter smile and spread his hands towards Lin Jing to show his helplessness.

After all, his sister had always been like this; the two had been inseparable since childhood, never apart, with Li Qingqing always clinging most to him, her elder brother.
