Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 120 -120 Qualification for Qualification

"Right, there's one more thing,"

"Old Man Bai told me to let you know, you don't need to worry about your old feud with Liu Yiyuan. Things will remain as they are, and he will help you resolve the issue,"

"Hmm, I understand,"

Lin Jing nodded.

......

It wasn't until nightfall that Huang Qingling could bring herself to leave.

Of course, before leaving, she also conveniently helped herself to a meal.

After Huang Qingling had left, Lin Jing continued back to his room to meditate and recover.

Meanwhile,

In the Zhang Family's back courtyard, within an exceedingly ordinary cottage,

Elder Bai and another old man were seated at a table.

On the table, in front of each of them, was a cup of tea, still emitting wisps of steam.

"Zhang Dao-friend, after so many years, you're still as plain and simple," Elder Bai began, glancing around the room.

The room was very ordinary and simple, even its furniture was of the most straightforward kind.

And this ordinary room was the dwelling of the Zhang Family Patriarch, Zhang Chenfan, as unassuming as his name suggested.

Elder Bai then directed his gaze toward the elderly man opposite him, with white flecked hair and a face full of wrinkles.

This elderly man was the host of the cottage, the Zhang Family Patriarch—Zhang Chenfan himself.

"As one grows old, one fondly clings to the past, which must be amusing to see, Elder Bai," he replied.

The Patriarch's voice was hoarse and carried an aged fatigue, and he seemed winded even just by speaking.

Moreover, his current appearance was like that of a withered tree, seemingly close to collapsing at any moment.

The Patriarch lifted his teacup and took a gentle sip before asking,

"What brings Elder Bai to my humble abode today?"

Without speaking, Elder Bai reached out, produced two Pure Jade Boxes, placed them on the table, and then gently pushed them toward the Patriarch.

Upon seeing the Pure Jade Boxes, the Patriarch's eyes flickered with sharpness, the decrepitude vanished instantaneously, replaced by an oppressive aura.

"Pure Accumulation Pills!"

The Patriarch, visibly excited, picked up one of the Pure Jade Boxes and inspected it closely.

"And there are two of them."

"Could it be that someone is planning to auction these?"

The Patriarch looked up at Elder Bai seated across from him.

"Yes."

"If nothing unexpected happens, these two Pure Accumulation Pills will appear in tomorrow's auction," said Elder Bai.

"Then Elder Bai, what does this mean?"

The Patriarch's eyes regained their calmness as he directly addressed Elder Bai.

"If these two Elixir Medicines go up for auction tomorrow, I'd like to ask Zhang Dao-friend, will you bid or not?" inquired Elder Bai, looking straight at the Patriarch.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I probably won't bid," the Patriarch said, shaking his head with a wry smile.

"If I bid for them, the Lifespan Extension Pill will likely end up in someone else's hands."

"Surely Elder Bai knows…"

"In the Nanshan Market, how much wealth the major clans have, we all know it well."

"What the Zhang Family can afford, they know it all too well. The moment I show interest in these two Pure Accumulation Pills, they will definitely go all in and cut off the Zhang Family's retreat once and for all."

As he said this, the Patriarch's face bore a smile as he looked toward Elder Bai,

"Since Elder Bai has brought these Pure Accumulation Pills to my humble home…"

"Then I think, there might be a turnaround in this matter, right?"

Elder Bai picked up his teacup, unhurriedly took a sip, and then spoke,

"I can work in the middle to help manipulate the situation, so that it won't appear in tomorrow's auction."

"Indeed…"

The Zhang Family Patriarch said with a smile,

"But I wonder what you desire, Elder Bai? In pursuit of that Lifespan Extension Pill, my Zhang Family is now really poor."

"Of course, there is something..."

Elder Bai lifted his head, looking at the Zhang Family Patriarch opposite him.

"The qualification to obtain a Cultivation True Elixir."

"The Blood Red Vermilion Fruit appeared at this auction, and on behalf of Yuebaolou, I pooled resources with several major families to gather the necessary materials to refine a batch of Cultivation True Elixirs." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"However, given the materials I contributed, if fewer than six Cultivation True Elixirs are actually produced, I'm afraid it won't be my turn, and at most I would receive some compensation."

Previously...

When the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit appeared, the major families discussed and decided to pool materials together, having an elder from the Li Family to refine a batch of Cultivation True Elixirs.

If six are produced, then each family would get one; if fewer than six are produced, then the families that don't receive a Cultivation True Elixir would still be compensated.

And this qualification is naturally divided based on each family's status and contribution.

Since Elder Bai does not belong to these major families, and his contribution wasn't very significant,

he would probably rank sixth in order.

Ranking sixth means that there must be six Cultivation True Elixirs produced in one batch for him to get one, but the likelihood of this is actually quite small.

It was also to secure the Zhang Family's Cultivation True Elixir qualification that brought Elder Bai here.

The Zhang Family Patriarch nodded slightly and then asked,

"Who are you planning to use this Cultivation True Elixir for? Your little niece? Isn't it a bit early for her...?"

"Elder Yu..."

"If he misses this opportunity, he likely won't have any hope of forming his pill in this lifetime."

Elder Bai did not hide anything and said directly.

The Zhang Family Patriarch suddenly understood:

"Pill Master Yu..."

"That makes sense, considering the close relationship between you two, it must be for him."

The Zhang Family Patriarch caressed the Pure Jade Box in front of him with one hand and, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, he said,

"Are you planning to use these two Pure Accumulation Pills to exchange for my Zhang Family's Cultivation True Elixir qualification?"

"You wish." Elder Bai's mouth twisted into a wry smile.

"Although I am a steward of Yuebaolou, in charge of the entire Yuebaolou in Nanshan Market, you surely know our Yuebaolou's rules."

"There are some things that even I dare not do."

"At most, within the scope of my authority, I can do you a small favor."

"The reason I am here is to exchange one qualification for another."

"I will not let this Pure Accumulation Pill appear at the auction, and I will contact the seller for you, arranging a private trade between the two of you."

"As for how exactly the trade goes, that will be for the two of you to negotiate."

"Of course..."

"If you don't agree, then forget it. I can leave right now."

Having said that, Elder Bai made to get up.

"Wait... wait..."

"I'm just joking with you..."

The Zhang Family Patriarch hastily persuaded Elder Bai to stay.

"Of course, I know the rules of Yuebaolou."

"In that case, let's do it your way. When the time comes, you make the arrangements, and I'll deal with the person," the Zhang Family Patriarch said.

"But..."

"I'm still very curious, what exactly are you planning to trade with this person?" Elder Bai looked at the Zhang Family Patriarch and asked in surprise.

The Zhang Family Patriarch sighed resignedly:

"Ah..."

"At this time, my Zhang Family doesn't have much to offer, and it seems all I can put forward is the cultivation technique that I have been practicing."
