Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space - Chapter 71: The Golden Core Strikes

Meanwhile, Wei Zhengqing showed no reaction as he drew a crimson Magic Artifact longsword from his Storage Bag and held it in his hand.

Lin Jing then controlled the Array Plate, and on the light screen of the Formation in front, an opening the size of a person appeared.

After that, with a “whoosh,” Wei Zhengqing disappeared into the Formation, charging towards the Red-Robed Cultivator outside.

The Red -Robed Cultivator’s heart leaped with joy, not expecting them to actually dare to rush out from the Formation.

He then sneered coldly, forming a hand gesture, and retreated.

As Wei Zhengqing rushed towards the Red-Robed Cultivator, he suddenly turned, unexpectedly raising his arm and blocking ahead with his sword.

“Clang”

The sound of metal clashing rang out.

Turned out the Red-Robed Cultivator had been maneuvering the Flawless Sword to launch a sneak attack on Wei Zhengqing.

Previously, the power of this Flawless Sword seemed considerable, yet it was easily caught by Wei Zhengqing.

This indicated that Wei Zhengqing’s strength was far from ordinary.

Seeing this, the Red-Robed Cultivator did not linger, instead he continued retreating backward, persistently using the Flawless Sword to attempt sneak attacks on Wei Zhengqing.

And Wei Zhengqing, as if he could predict the attacks in advance, managed to block each sneak attack.

Thus, the two of them, one advancing and the other retreating, gradually moved away.

It was only when the two figures were out of sight that Lin Jing came back to his senses.

He looked towards Yan Xiong and asked, “Old Yan, is Brother Wei really okay?”

Old Yan cracked a big smile and replied,

“Don’t worry, Brother Lin, Old Wei is no simple character. He killed a Cultivator at the first level of Foundation Establishment when he was at the peak of Qi Refinement.”

“You mustn’t underestimate him.”

“That powerful!” Lin Jing exclaimed in surprise.

“Of course, Old Wei’s Cultivation Technique is different from ours, he’s best at assault and killing techniques,” said Yan Xiong cheerfully.

“That’s good to know.”

It wasn’t long before Wei Zhengqing returned.

He was covered in blood, holding that crimson longsword, walking towards them.

By now, there were no Demonic Beasts around, nor were there other people, so Lin Jing deactivated the Defensive Array.

“Brother Wei…”

“How are you? Are you injured?” Lin Jing stepped forward and asked.

“Rest assured, except for his Magic Artifact being somewhat formidable, that man was no match for me.”

“Brother Lin, catch this.”

After speaking, Wei Zhengqing threw something transparent over. If it wasn’t for Wei Zhengqing’s reminder and the specks of blood on it, Lin Jing might have completely overlooked it.

Lin Jing caught it and found that it was the Red-Robed Cultivator’s Flawless Sword. This sword was completely transparent, resembling the transparent glass of a bygone era, and it felt like cold metal to the touch, although he didn’t know what material it was made of.

“Brother Wei, what is the meaning of this?” Lin Jing looked towards Wei Zhengqing with puzzlement.

“Brother Lin, this is for you.”

“I see you’ve been without a Magic Artifact, so I’m giving this Flying Sword to you. I think it suits you well.”

“Brother Wei, this is your spoils of battle, and moreover, this Flawless Sword is an exceptional Magic Artifact, extremely precious. How could I accept it? Please take it back,” Lin Jing said as he offered the Flawless Sword back to Wei Zhengqing.

“Brother Lin, please accept it; consider it as compensation for that Pure Body Restoration Pill of yours.”

“That’s right, Brother Lin, just take it. Old Wei is not in need of exceptional Magic Artifacts; the one in his hand is an exceptional Magic Artifact too,” Yan Xiong interjected.

Lin Jing couldn’t help but laugh and cry,

“This exceptional Magic Artifact is way more valuable than a Pure Body

Restoration Pill, worth at least tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.”

“Brother Lin, there’s no need for further words. If it weren’t for Brother Lin’s Formation protecting us, we might have died at the paws of Demonic Beasts long ago.”

“Alright then…”

Seeing Wei Zhengqing was insistent, he didn’t say any more and instead accepted the Flawless Sword.

Then, Yan Xiong spoke,

“Elder Wei, what do you think…”

“What should we do next, stay here or go somewhere else?”

Wei Zhengqing furrowed his brows in thought for a moment before speaking.

“I believe we should stay here for the time being. There are no Demonic Beasts here now, so it’s relatively safe. Other places might not be as safe.” After saying that, Wei Zhengqing thought for a while longer and then said,

“We could go to the Inner Fang Market and wait for its grand formation to activate.”

Lin Jing, however, shook his head and said,

“Brother Wei, Elder Yan…’

“There’s no use counting on those people in the Inner Fang Market anymore. If they wanted to open the defensive formation, they most likely would have done so already.”

“I heard from Elder Yu before that the formation was activated because the Golden Core Cultivators who went deep into the Night Mist Mountain Range demanded it.”

“The reason was that they feared Demonic Beasts might attack while they were away and that beasts or outer sect Cultivators might enter the Fang Market and harm their properties within the Inner Fang Market, so they activated the grand formation of the Inner Fang Market.”

“Now that this situation has truly arisen, they certainly won’t open it.”

Wei Zhengqing frowned; this was the first time he had heard about this.

“Since that’s the case, let’s just stay here and not go anywhere.”

“Alright…”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, the chaos caused by the Demonic Beasts continued.

Lin Jing and his group stayed in this place that was still relatively safe for the moment.

Every now and then, a roar from some beast or the scream of a Human Cultivator could be heard in the distance.

Clearly, the danger was still ongoing.

About half an hour later, two elders flew in from outside the Fang Market.

Lin Jing and the others looked up to see the two elders.

One of them, Lin Jing actually recognized.

It was the manager whom Lin Jing had met when he first visited the Fang Market, at the management office of the Inner Fang Market.

The other elder with white whiskers, however, was unfamiliar to Lin Jing.

The two stood in the air, their brows locked in worry as they looked down upon the ground left in tatters after the Demonic Beasts’ rampage.

At that moment…

A group of Cultivators being chased by Demonic Beasts arrived here.

Upon seeing the two elders, sensing their powerful aura, the group of Cultivators ran swiftly towards them.

“Elders, save us…”

The Cultivators being pursued by the Demonic Beasts quickly called out to the two elders for help.

Up in the air, the manager of the Inner Fang Market said to the elder with white whiskers,

“Old Bai, how about you take care of it?”

“Sure…”

The white-whiskered elder nodded, then flew towards the group of Cultivators.

Suddenly, a beam of white light shot out from the sleeve of the white-whiskered elder towards the group of Demonic Beasts at breakneck speed.

The white light entered among the beasts like a wild lightning bolt, darting through the herd, swiftly slashing as it went,

And the cries of the Demonic Beasts were unceasing, one after another in rapid succession.

In no time, the ground was a mess, with the Demonic Beasts sliced and scattered everywhere.

This white-whiskered elder was indeed a Golden Core Cultivator.

The surviving Cultivators, overjoyed, hurried to offer their respects to the white-whiskered elder.

“Thank you, elder.”

However, the white-whiskered elder paid them no attention and flew directly towards the distant roars of beasts.

It seemed he was preparing to take action and clear out all the Demonic Beasts.

“With a Golden Core Immortal stepping in, we’re finally saved.” Many people sighed with relief, their hearts finally put at ease..
