Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 246: Chapter 232: The Nascent Soul Elder’s Conjecture

However…

Lin Jing had just disappeared, less than a moment’s time had passed.

An elder at the Nascent Soul Stage appeared at the breached cave entrance.

At this time, his expression was somber as he slowly walked out of the broken cave.

He entered the cavern.

In this cavern, the only thing left was the stone automaton.

From Lin Jing’s appearance to his ultimate disappearance…

it might seem slow to speak of, but it happened very quickly, taking only a moment.

Aside from the initial attack, the stone automaton, just as it rushed to the formation, had only struck two or three times before Lin Jing vanished.

After Lin Jing’s disappearance.

The stone automaton also stopped there, motionless.

Unlike a human cultivator, it could only detect its enemy through their aura.

Now that Lin Jing had entered the System Space and his aura had disappeared with him, it naturally stayed put, unable to sense anything.

The elder who walked in with a gloomy face looked towards the central stone pillar.

This elder was the same one who had placed the stone automaton there before.

He had already left.

But while he was in the midst of the fiercest battle with the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants, he suddenly felt the stone automaton stir.

The stone automaton was a unique magical treasure he had acquired while adventuring through ancient relics in the past.

After refining it, it became attuned to his will, and any unusual movements of the automaton were immediately perceptible to him.

When he sensed the stone automaton stirring, he immediately deployed his Divine Sense to probe this area.

The range of a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Divine Sense was truly vast.

Even while battling with the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants, they could easily sense into this cave.

As his Divine Sense penetrated the cave, he detected a strange presence beside the stone pillar within the formation.

He was taken aback at that moment.

Because…

The formation protecting the Cleansing Spirit Pool was no simple matter, even for him, it was difficult to break through in a short time.

Moreover.

To prevent other high-level cultivators from causing trouble,

the formation could also shield against Divine Sense.

Even the Divine Sense of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, after passing through this formation, would be greatly weakened.

Especially when probing from outside the formation to the inside…

The power of the formation was terrifying, and there was nothing that could be done except for faintly sensing a hint of a strange aura.

So…

This Nascent Soul elder had not directly discovered Lin Jing.

He had only sensed some strange aura.

And the abnormality of the stone automaton…

made him very certain that someone must have been here.

Following that.

He came to the side of the stone pillar, outside the formation.

He circled around the stone pillar, examining it.

Seeing the stones scattered on the ground, he was even more assured of his guess.

These stones were in fact the result of the stone automaton attacking the formation and the resulting fluctuations causing them to fall.

Afterwards.

He turned his gaze towards the Cleansing Spirit Pool, where the Cleansing Spirit Liquid was the most critical.

This Cleansing Spirit Pool was not large, and the Cleansing Spirit Liquid inside was extremely scarce, only about as much as a small wine cup.

The elder looked and saw that the Cleansing Spirit Liquid seemed as abundant as before, as if it hadn’t been touched at all.

Since Lin Jing was in a hurry, he only took away two drops.

Two drops, in the context of a whole cup of Cleansing Spirit Liquid, was still very little.

If one wasn’t looking carefully, it would be impossible to notice.

But this elder was clearly a very meticulous person.

After noticing nothing unusual about the Cleansing Spirit Pool at first glance, he did not immediately relax.

Instead, he moved in a bit closer.

He examined it closely once more.

Moments later…

He finished his observation.

And then he muttered to himself:

“It is indeed less, looking at it, this person only took one or two drops…”

“Not much…”

“However…”

“The formation has not been damaged, so how did he pass through the formation and enter inside?”

“And how did he…”

“To suddenly appear within such a short time and then disappear before I returned?”

Having said this, he walked around the stone pillar once more.

But he found nothing.

Then, furrowing his brow, he muttered to himself:

“To leave not a single trace behind…”

“Indeed, that is unfathomable.”

“Or perhaps…”

“This person has an extremely powerful Magical Treasure with instant teleportation capabilities…”

“And has been monitoring us all along.”

“That’s why they appeared and stole the Cleansing Spirit Liquid as soon as we left.”

The Elder looked down in contemplation, then raised his head to gaze at the broken entrance:

“So, was the appearance of the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants their doing, or was it an accident?”

A moment passed.

The Elder’s tightly knit brows finally relaxed:

“Regardless of the connection to the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants, since he dares not to show himself openly, it is obvious that his Cultivation is not strong.”

“And furthermore…”

“It is very likely that he possesses an extremely powerful Magical Treasure…”

“I have already memorized his aura, should I encounter him again, he will certainly not escape.”

“Once I capture him, that mysterious Magical Treasure will be mine…”

Having finished speaking.

The Elder looked at the stone statue, then his lips moved slightly, reciting a long incantation.

The stone statue also returned to its previous state.

Continuing to patrol inside the cave.

Only after doing all of this did the Elder leave.

However, what he did not know.

Was that the aura of Cultivation on Lin Jing’s body was also fake.

All of it was a disguise created by the Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon.

After the Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon merged into one, its grade substantially increased, and its ability to conceal was incredibly strong, even capable of deceiving the Divine Sense of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

……

Lin Jing, having entered the System Space, was unaware of everything that happened in the cave.

Just as he entered the System Space, a system notification reached his ears.

“Ding.”

“System Notification: Congratulations to the host for obtaining the special Spiritual Spring: Cleansing Spirit Liquid. The Cleansing Spirit Liquid environment simulation has been activated, and the host can initiate it at any time.”

Upon hearing this system notification, Lin Jing knew that his mission was accomplished.

Then.

He did not activate it immediately but instead began to meditate, trying to absorb the drop of Cleansing Spirit Liquid he had just placed in his mouth.

The Cleansing Spirit Liquid was indeed absorbed very quickly.

His Cultivation Technique had only made one cycle, and the drop of Cleansing Spirit Liquid was already assimilated.

Lin Jing clearly felt that the drop of Cleansing Spirit Liquid had merged into his body.

Perhaps because the amount of Cleansing Spirit Liquid was too small, Lin Jing did not feel anything different from before.

Afterwards.

Lin Jing did not dare to delay and quickly used Fixed Point Teleportation to return to his cave dwelling.

When Lin Jing returned to his cave dwelling, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at that moment, nobody was looking for him.

However, Lin Jing could clearly hear.

The outside of the cave was noisy and chaotic, clearly the commotion from earlier had disturbed the people who were meditating.

At this time, Lin Jing.

With a face full of confusion, opened his cave dwelling and walked outside.

After coming out, Lin Jing discovered.

That many people had already left their cave dwellings.

Like the others, Lin Jing walked out of his cave dwelling.

And saw up ahead…

He saw several people gathered together, seemingly asking something from a Qingyuan Sword Sect Disciple.

Among these people, Lin Jing caught sight of Liu Yiyuan at first glance.

His presence in this core area didn’t surprise Lin Jing.

It seemed.

That his cave dwelling was not far from here.

When Lin Jing came out.

Liu Yiyuan, as if sensing something, glanced this way and then froze.

He had never expected.

To encounter Lin Jing in this core area.
