Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space - Chapter 263: Elder Wang’s Invitation

Li Tangyu nodded and said:

“Yes, it’s that demon cultivator from the Demonic Path that led to the destruction of the Li Family.”

Lin Jing thought back to the incident a few months ago when the three major sects had sent people to capture the demon cultivator from the Demonic Path in this Demon Race Secret Realm, and the affair had become widely known.

This demon cultivator, it seems, had somehow made it outside and started causing trouble.

Lin Jing then asked:

“Wasn’t it said that the demon cultivator was always within this Secret Realm? When did he leave the realm?”

Li Tangyu shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, saying:

“This, we are not clear about…”

“But that demon cultivator is indeed outside.”

“Elder Bai and Elder Yu didn’t come to find you because they were arranged by Yiyun Pavilion to go to the Night Mist Mountain Range to search for that demon cultivator.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing was startled:

“Ah…”

“They went to search for that demon cultivator?”

He then frowned, worriedly saying:

“Could they be in danger?”

As soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, Huang Qingling spoke up to reassure him:

“Don’t worry, this time to find the demon cultivator, the three major sects dispatched more than a dozen Golden Cores, and two Nascent Souls are overseeing the operation.”

“Nothing unexpected should happen.”

“I see, that’s good,” Lin Jing said, relieved.

Elder Bai and Elder Yu had always been good to him.

Naturally, Lin Jing did not wish for any mishaps to befall them.

……

At this point.

Lin Jing suddenly asked Li Tangyu again:

“You mentioned earlier there was another incident; what was it?”

Li Tangyu then said:

“Also, there’s the matter about the soul-cleansing place.”

Speaking of the soul-cleansing place, Lin Jing recalled that day, and then he asked the others:

“Speaking of the soul-cleansing place…”

“At that time, was the region you were in infested with Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants?”

The others nodded.

“Yes, at that time the entire soul-cleansing place was swarming with Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants.”

“How did you manage to escape?” asked Lin Jing, very curious, looking at them.

Li Qingqing then spoke:

“We were quite lucky at the time.”

“We just got out and encountered a Golden Core Elder, and along the way, we didn’t run into any particularly dangerous Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants.”

“So, we made it out unscathed.”

“But for some of the others, it was quite tragic.”

“On our way out, we saw many people who had died at the jaws of the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants.”

As Li Qingqing finished speaking, Huang Qingling looked at Lin Jing, unable to hide some of her bitterness:

“We even went looking for you at the time. When we arrived at your cave dwelling, it was already empty.”

“We thought you had already left, and we asked quite a few people, none of whom had seen you.”

“It was only after we got out that we lost track of you, and we were worried for a while…”

“If it hadn’t been for Senior Han’s arrival, we might have never known that you had gone into the core area…”

Lin Jing felt quite embarrassed; at the time, he hadn’t thought much about it and had planned to inform them after getting out.

But unexpectedly, in just two days, an accident had occurred.

Lin Jing quickly apologized to everyone:

“I’m sorry, it was urgent at the time, and I forgot to notify you.”

“I’m sorry for making you worry.”

The others quickly assured him it was all right, as long as Lin Jing was safe.

Huang Qingling then said:

“Forget it, I’m a big person who doesn’t hold onto small grudges, I’ll forgive you this time.”

Following that.

The others then told Lin Jing about the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants.

It was also from them that Lin Jing learned about it.

Indeed, someone was controlling the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants.

It wasn’t exactly a person, but rather a demon cultivator.

Moreover, this demon cultivator had some connection with the wolf-headed demon cultivator, who was previously surrounded and killed by the Golden Core cultivators at the Fang Market.

It was he who launched this attack involving the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants.

However, this demon cultivator was extremely cunning. After launching the attack, he fled.

He has yet to be found.

……

As the group chatted, several hours passed.

It was almost evening when a disciple from the Qingyuan Sword Sect arrived, saying that Elder Wang was looking for Lin Jing.

That was when their conversation ended.

Subsequently.

Lin Jing followed the Qingyuan Sword Sect disciple and left together.

On their way, the disciple led Lin Jing to a small courtyard.

Upon reaching the entrance of the courtyard, the disciple stopped and, bowing respectfully, said facing the courtyard:

“Elder Wang, I have brought him here.”

As soon as the disciple finished speaking, a familiar voice came from inside.

“Bring him in!”

That voice belonged to Elder Wang.

Subsequently.

He led Lin Jing inside.

Once inside the room, Lin Jing realized that Elder Master Li was also there.

“Real Man Li, Elder Wang…”

Lin Jing bowed to the two men.

“No need for excessive formalities,” said Elder Wang to Lin Jing.

At that moment.

The Qingyuan Sword Sect disciple also bowed respectfully to Elder Wang:

“Elder Wang, as I have brought the person, I will take my leave now.”

“Hmm, you may go,” Elder Wang nodded and responded.

Afterward.

The disciple then took his leave.

After the disciple had left, Elder Wang looked at Lin Jing with interest and then spoke:

“Your name is Lin Jing, right?”

Lin Jing was startled, then nodded:

“Yes, Elder Wang.”

Elder Wang nodded after hearing this:

“It was only recently that I heard you are actually a disciple of our Qingyuan Sword Sect, isn’t that right?”

Lin Jing hastily bowed and said to Elder Wang:

“Replying to Elder Wang, I was indeed a Spirit Farmer of the Qingyuan Sword Sect previously, but due to my negligence in taking care of the Spirit Field, I was long ago expelled from the sect.”

After Lin Jing finished speaking, Elder Wang snorted coldly.

“Humph!”

“Those fools, truly good-for-nothings…”

“Having you serve as a Spirit Farmer, completely burying your talent in alchemy.”

After speaking, Elder Wang glanced at Elder Master Li sitting beside him, then turned back to Lin Jing and said:

“I have heard from Elder Li that in less than four years, you went from a novice in alchemy who knew nothing, to not only advancing to a Second-Grade Alchemist but also becoming an Alchemist Offering Priest at the Yuebaolou.”

“The Offering Priest of Yuebaolou, I am well aware: it’s not a position just anyone can hold…”

As he said this, Elder Wang appeared quite infuriated:

“That bunch of blockheads, driving such a promising alchemy talent down the mountain, what good can they possibly achieve?”

As Elder Wang’s words ended, Lin Jing hastily replied:

“Elder Wang, the mishap was indeed due to my oversight, and no one else is to blame. Being driven down the mountain is solely my fault…”

However, before Lin Jing could finish, Elder Wang raised his hand, cutting off Lin Jing’s words.

“Let’s leave that in the past.”

“Now, I would like to invite you to rejoin the Qingyuan Sword Sect and enter my Jade Pill Peak to become my direct disciple. Are you interested?”

“Once you become my direct disciple, rest assured, let alone at Jade Pill Peak, even within the entire Qingyuan Sword Sect, no one will dare to bully you!”
