Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space - Chapter 224: 217: Ning Yue Leaves, The Alchemy Room Upgrades Again_2

Just then…

“Knock knock knock”

There was a knock at the door.

Lin Jing was startled for a moment. Listening to the sound of the knocking, it didn’t seem like Huang Qingling.

Because when Huang Qingling knocked on the door, it was usually more urgent.

But this knocking sound was more even-tempered.

It was rather like Ning Yue’s knocking when she was in Fang Market previously.

“Could it be Ning Daoyou?”

“But what would she be doing here early in the morning?”

“Moreover…”

“She is staying with the Li Family, which is not a short distance from here.”

Lin Jing muttered to himself a few times before heading towards the entrance of the courtyard.

Reaching the courtyard’s entrance, Lin Jing reached out to open the gate.

He saw Ning Yue, dressed in white, standing at the door.

At this moment, Ning Yue didn’t have any disguise like the previous time she was at Fang Market.

Her delicate face was stunning every time you looked at it.

“Lin Daoyou, I’m leaving…”

As soon as Ning Yue saw Lin Jing, she started speaking.

“Has the problem with that seed been completely resolved?”

Lin Jing asked Ning Yue.

He actually knew that the seed, after being repaired by the System’s repair function, must be alright.

But still, he had to ask.

Ning Yue nodded and said,

“Yes…”

“After observing for a few days, that seed has no problems now.”

“That’s good…” Lin Jing said with a smile.

“After leaving this time, I will have to practice with the elder for a while to prepare to take over the position of clan leader.”

“Next time, I don’t know when I’ll be able to come here again,” she said, pursing her lips.

“Ning Daoyou, you’re going to be the Ning Family head?”

Lin Jing exclaimed in surprise.

He then gave Ning Yue a once over. Now, Ning Yue looked extremely delicate.

Just by looking at her…

You’d want to hold her in your arms and shower her with affection.

It was hard to believe that the Ning Family would really let a woman be their clan leader.

After all…

Being the clan leader wasn’t simple; interacting with other families every day required extreme caution, or else you could be devoured down to the bones.

Could Ning Yue really manage to be the clan leader?

“The Ning Family is an Alchemy Dao family, which respects Alchemy cultivation above all and doesn’t mind these matters…”

“Moreover…”

“With the elder there, the Ning Family won’t have any trouble.”

“I see…”

“Then, I’ll take this opportunity to congratulate Ning Daoyou in advance…”

Lin Jing clasped his fists and said to Ning Yue with a smile.

However, Ning Yue did not smile but looked straight at Lin Jing, her expression serious.

“Lin Daoyou, if one day…”

“You don’t want to stay in Nanshan Immortal City, and you want to change places…”

“You can come to Linxian City…”

Lin Jing looked at Ning Yue and then nodded:

“I will consider it…”

Around noon…

Ning Yue left, together with the Ning Family elder.

Before leaving, Lin Jing still went to see her off.

After all…

The two had known each other for quite some time.

Also present to send her off were the siblings Li Tangyu.

After seeing off Ning Yue, Lin Jing said goodbye to Li Tangyu and the siblings, then continued back to his own small courtyard.

Just as he returned to the small courtyard, and before Lin Jing had a moment to rest, there was another knock at the door.

This time the knocking was much more urgent.

Lin Jing shook his head helplessly and then headed towards the door.

When he got to the courtyard gate, Lin Jing stretched out his hand and opened the gate.

He was immediately greeted by the sight of Huang Qingling and the Little Sparrow on her shoulder.

Huang Qingling was very close, and Lin Jing could even smell the faint fragrance emanating from her…

As soon as Huang Qingling saw Lin Jing, she spoke directly:

“I heard, Ning Yue has left…”

“Did you go to send her off?”

Huang Qingling stood at the doorway, her gaze wandering as she carelessly looked into Lin Jing’s courtyard and spoke.

“Qing Ling Daoyou, please come in…”

Lin Jing said, inviting Huang Qingling into the courtyard.

Huang Qingling did not decline, and as if returning to her own home, she directly passed by Lin Jing and entered.

Lin Jing then closed the gate behind her.

Following behind Huang Qingling, he too walked in.

“Yes, she has left…”

Lin Jing quickened his pace to walk alongside Huang Qingling and then continued speaking.

“Mm…”

Huang Qingling nodded.

Then she spoke again:

“Actually, this morning, I saw…”

Huang Qingling stretched out her hand, teasing Little Sparrow as if she didn’t care much about it.

“Uh…”

“Why didn’t you come over…?”

Lin Jing was taken aback for a moment, and then he asked, puzzled.

“I didn’t want to intrude on your farewell, so I didn’t come over…”

Huang Qingling said, pursing her lips.

Lin Jing then scratched his head and said with a smile:

“Actually, it wouldn’t have mattered.”

“After all, we are all friends…”

“Of course I know…”

Having finished speaking, Huang Qingling turned to look at Lin Jing, and her hand stopped teasing Little Sparrow.

“Lin Jing…”

“Do you really plan to go to Linxian City?”

Huang Qingling asked, looking at Lin Jing.

Lin Jing turned his head to look at Huang Qingling.

Clearly, the conversation he had with Ning Yue earlier had been overheard by Huang Qingling.

“Maybe…”

Lin Jing looked up at the vast expanse of blue sky.

Then, looking back down at Huang Qingling, he said seriously:

“However…”

“Even if I were to go, it wouldn’t be right now.”

“There’s just too much here that I can’t bear to part with, and if I really had to leave this place, I would actually find it hard to let go.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Qingling seemed to let go of something…

Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled and said:

“Actually…”

“If one day you are truly out of options, you can also seek out Ning Yue. After all, she’s about to become the head of a family. As her friend, she definitely won’t mistreat you.”

Hearing this, Lin Jing turned his head and stared straight at Huang Qingling, making her feel a bit uneasy.

“Did you listen in on the entire conversation from start to finish…?”

Huang Qingling was clearly a bit sheepish and quickly objected:

“What… no way…”

“I just accidentally overheard a tiny bit…”

After finishing her sentence, her earlobes turned visibly red at a discernible pace.

“That’s quite the ‘tiny bit’ indeed…”

Lin Jing couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

He felt rather helpless about it and just let it be.

After this little episode…

Huang Qingling reverted back to her usual playful self.

Following that…

She talked with Lin Jing for a bit more.

Then, she said she wanted Lin Jing to accompany her to Yuebaolou.

Lin Jing was about to agree when suddenly a system notification rang out in his mind.

“System notification: Alchemy Room upgrade successful. Host can check at any time…”

This system notification made Lin Jing pause.

Then, using Alchemy as an excuse, he refused Huang Qingling’s request.

Although Huang Qingling seemed a bit disappointed, she left on her own.

However, just before she left for good, Huang Qingling suddenly looked seriously at Lin Jing and said:

“Lin Jing…”

“If you really decide to leave, please tell me…”

“I don’t have many friends, and you’re one of them…”

After that…

Huang Qingling left without looking back.

Lin Jing stood at the doorway, deep in thought for a long time.

He had known Huang Qingling for quite a while now, and indeed, as she said, aside from the few of them, Huang Qingling seemed not to have many friends.

Lin Jing wasn’t even clear about Huang Qingling’s family matters; he had never heard her mention them.

Perhaps she had some sad past she didn’t want to speak of.

And they had never broached the subject.

This had become a kind of tacit understanding between them.

“Maybe one day, she will bring it up on her own.”

With this thought…

Lin Jing sighed, closed the courtyard gate, and went back inside the house.

Back inside, Lin Jing took a deep breath, shook his head, put aside the matter with Huang Qingling,

and then called out directly for the system.

“Enter System Space!”

This time, the scene before Lin Jing blurred and then changed.

Afterward, he found himself inside the System Space.

Upon arriving at the System Space…

Lin Jing, unable to wait, headed straight for the Alchemy Room.

He wanted to see what the Alchemy Room had become now.

Soon…

Lin Jing arrived at the Alchemy Room, looked around, and felt that the Alchemy Room hadn’t changed much.

However, his Divine Sense had clearly become much more robust, which was obviously the wondrous benefit of the Alchemy Room’s upgrade.

Then…

Lin Jing said:

“System, open the Alchemy Room panel.”
