Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space-Chapter 369 - 70 Exploring the Island

Chapter 369: Chapter 70 Exploring the Island

Zhang Jian stepped off the Flying Boat, then cupped his fists and said to Lin Jing:

“Lin Daoyou, it’s been a long time…”

“I never imagined I would encounter Lin Daoyou here, it truly is a coincidence.”

“May I ask what Lin Daoyou is planning to do?”

Lin Jing didn’t directly answer Zhang Jian’s question. Instead, he looked at the Flying Boat behind him and then asked Zhang Jian:

“Is this Flying Boat yours?”

Zhang Jian was startled for a moment before nodding:

“Yes, it is. I spent all the savings I had recently to buy this Flying Boat.”

Following that, Lin Jing directly said:

“Zhang Daoyou, I would like to temporarily borrow this Flying Boat from you.”

“Would that be all right?”

Zhang Jian looked at Lin Jing, hesitated a moment, then replied:

“Lin Daoyou once saved my life from the hands of Master Qi Gui. As for lending the Flying Boat, naturally, there’s no problem.”

“But may I ask, Lin Daoyou, what do you intend to do with the Flying Boat?”

Lin Jing spoke up, stating directly:

“To chase an enemy.”

The moment Lin Jing’s words fell, Zhang Jian readily replied:

“Okay, I reside on Xian Yu Island…”

However.

Zhang Jian’s words were not yet finished when Lin Jing interrupted him, urging Zhang Jian directly:

“Let’s board the Flying Boat now, and you’ll come with me to chase, don’t delay…”

After listening to Lin Jing’s statement, Zhang Jian was taken aback, then pointed at himself and asked:

“Me too?”

Lin Jing was a bit astonished for a moment, as he only intended to borrow it, not expecting Zhang Jian’s idea of ‘lending’ to be taken literally.

Of course, that misleading situation was also because Lin Jing had not made himself clear, thus leading to the misunderstanding.

So, Lin Jing quickly tried to explain:

“Zhang Daoyou, you’ve misunderstood. I just want to borrow it for a while, not to take it away.”

“Also, later on, you will be responsible for steering, while I’ll rest and meditate inside the Flying Boat for a bit.”

After finishing, Lin Jing added another sentence:

“Once this matter is completed, I can also take you to meet Yan Shuishui…”

After hearing Lin Jing’s words, Zhang Jian was startled and then turned his head sharply to look at Lin Jing and said:

“Yan Shuishui?”

“Didn’t you sell her off?”

Lin Jing nodded, then responded:

“Yes, she was sold, but she returned on her own.”

“Returned on her own? What do you mean by that?”

Zhang Jian looked utterly confused, not understanding what Lin Jing meant.

However, this time Lin Jing did not answer but directly said to Zhang Jian:

“Let’s go, first get on the Flying Boat and pursue my enemy.”

“We can discuss the rest later, if we let him escape, it could become troublesome.”

Seeing that Lin Jing did not answer directly, Zhang Jian did not ask any further and said:

“Alright…”

After speaking, both men stepped onto the Flying Boat.

Then, under Zhang Jian’s control and Lin Jing’s command, the two rode the Flying Boat to chase after the cultivator in white.

As the white-robed cultivator was using the Blood Escape technique, his speed was extremely fast, and the conversation between Lin Jing and Zhang Jian caused some delay.

Only after more than half an hour did the two finally sense the residual aura of the white-robed cultivator’s escape.

So, the two continued to follow this aura, searching nonstop with the Flying Boat.

Finally, when they passed a sea island, the trail completely vanished.

Therefore.

The two stopped the Flying Boat and walked out from inside.

Observing this small island.

This was an uninhabited island, not very large in size.

But hiding a single person here would still be very easy.

Lin Jing stood in mid-air above the island with his sword.

At the same time, he extended his Divine Sense to survey the small island.

After a while, Lin Jing found no place of suspicion.

It was as if the white-robed cultivator had vanished after reaching this place.

But.

Lin Jing knew that the white-robed cultivator was on this island.

First, because after utilizing the Blood Escape technique, he was gravely injured and could not have gone far.

He had to find a place quickly to heal; otherwise, his condition would be more than just an injury.

It could even possibly lead to a fall in his cultivation level due to this incident.

Moreover, there was the lingering blood scent on his body after using the Blood Escape technique.

This scent of blood was not something easily dispersed.

And he could not hide in the sea.

With so many Demonic Beasts in the sea, his current state would easily attract numerous creatures, making him even more vulnerable.

Thus, the white-robed cultivator must indeed be on this uninhabited small island.

And it’s likely that he was using a concealment formation to hide somewhere on this island.

After analyzing.

Lin Jing descended from the air directly to the island.

At this moment.

Zhang Jian also put away the Flying Boat and followed Lin Jing down.

After landing, Zhang Jian first turned his head and looked around.

Then he said to Lin Jing:

“Are you sure that your enemy is on this island?”

Lin Jing nodded, “Of course.”

“He used the Blood Escape Technique. He couldn’t have gone far.”

Zhang Jian nodded and said,

“No wonder, so he used the Blood Escape Technique…”

“At first, I thought he was just injured.”

“However, since this person used the Blood Escape Technique, he couldn’t have escaped far. It’s very likely that he used a high-level concealment formation to hide himself, and that’s why we can’t find him.”

Lin Jing nodded at that, and then shared his own conjecture with Zhang Jian…

After listening to Lin Jing’s story, Zhang Jian nodded and said,

“If that’s the case…”

“Then there’s no need for you to continue your search. Since he knows how to set up formations, you should be cautious. What if he has set up a Fourth Rank Killing Formation on this island?”

“A Fourth Rank Killing Formation might be difficult for others…”

“But for an Array Master, it is common to carry several Array Plates or Array Flags with them for emergencies.”

Lin Jing slightly furrowed his brows upon hearing this but soon faintly nodded in agreement with Zhang Jian’s words.

Immediately after, he asked Zhang Jian,

“How do you know all this, Zhang Daoyou?”

Zhang Jian then frankly spoke,

“Not to hide it from you, Lin Daoyou, I myself am a Third-Rank Array Master.”

“You are an Array Master?” Lin Jing scrutinized Zhang Jian from top to bottom, then inquired.

Zhang Jian nodded and answered, “Yes.”

“Moreover, I have a Secret Treasure Formation Plate handed down from my family that can detect whether there is a formation nearby. Even a Fifth-Rank concealment formation can possibly be detected.”

“However, this Array Plate consumes Spirit Stones at such a rapid rate that ordinary people cannot afford it.”

Zhang Jian’s words brought a surge of excitement to Lin Jing, who hastened to suggest,

“I didn’t expect Zhang Daoyou to come from a family of formation experts…”

“The high consumption of Spirit Stones is not a problem.”

“I have plenty of Spirit Stones. How about this, Zhang Daoyou, you use the Array Plate, and I will provide the Spirit Stones, what do you think?”

Looking at Lin Jing, Zhang Jian immediately had another thought:

Therefore, he said to Lin Jing,

“Lin Daoyou, let’s make a deal, shall we?”

“I know Lin Daoyou is not the unscrupulous villain who would harm Yan Shuishui.”

“In exchange for lending the Secret Treasure Formation Plate to you, you take me to meet Yan Shuishui,”

“I wish to discuss something with her.”

“Lin Daoyou, what do you say?”

After hearing his proposal, Lin Jing’s gaze became strange as he looked at the sincere Zhang Jian:

“May I know why you wish to meet ‘Yan Shuishui’?”

Zhang Jian replied, “Actually, this is somewhat embarrassing, and I am not sure how to explain it to you, Lin Daoyou.”

“In time, I will tell you.”

Lin Jing slightly curled his lip, then said,

“If that is the case, then after some time has passed, I will take you to meet ‘Yan Shuishui’.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian immediately smiled:

“Then I’ll be troubled, Lin Daoyou…”

Lin Jing then added,

“However, since this matter is sensitive, don’t blame me after you’ve met ‘Yan Shuishui’.”

“What do you mean?”

Zhang Jian’s smile suddenly froze on his face, somewhat perplexed.

“Don’t worry, I will certainly take you to see ‘Yan Shuishui’,” Lin Jing quickly added.

“Thanks, Lin Daoyou. Rest assured, whether she agrees or not, I will not blame you,” Zhang Jian replied.

Having said this, Zhang Jian took an Array Plate out of his Storage Bag.

He then handed it to Lin Jing, saying,

“Lin Daoyou, this Array Plate is the Secret Treasure I mentioned. As long as you embed Spirit Stones in all five slots on the Array Plate, you can activate it with Spiritual Power to detect surrounding formations.”

“However, this Array Plate consumes Spiritual Power very quickly. In roughly half an hour, it can deplete an entire set of Spirit Stones.”

“Half an hour, for just five Spirit Stones…”

“The consumption of Spirit Stones for this formation isn’t too bad,” Lin Jing said questioningly.

“Of course it isn’t…”

“Because the Array Plate uses Superior Grade Spirit Stones, not Medium Grade,” Zhang Jian explained at this point.

“Superior Grade Spirit Stones…”

“No wonder you said the Array Plate consumes Spirit Stones quickly,” Lin Jing exclaimed in astonishment.

“But don’t worry…”

“The size of the island isn’t large, so there should be no problems; I can afford the cost of these Spirit Stones.”

After speaking, Lin Jing took out five Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag and placed them on the Array Plate.

As soon as the Spirit Stones were placed, Lin Jing immediately activated his Spiritual Power.

The Array Plate began operating at once.

An overhead projection of the nearby area appeared on the Array Plate.

In this miniature projection, Lin Jing could clearly see everything in the area,

Including the insects crawling underneath the soil.

Above Lin Jing’s head, two beams of light were circulating, scanning over the nearby area.

Next,

Lin Jing began to move forward, exploring.

And Zhang Jian continuously followed behind him.

Thus, the two searched for several hours, and Lin Jing scoured the southern area of the uninhabited island entirely.

Nevertheless, no abnormalities were discovered.

Subsequently, Lin Jing again explored towards the north.

This time, he would not return until he had dug out the white-robed cultivator.

It wasn’t until most of the northern region had been searched that Lin Jing finally found a suspicious spot beside a cliff.

At that moment, the Secret Treasure Formation Plate also indicated some abnormalities.
