Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 260: Chapter 245 Temporary resolution of the crisis

Upon hearing the words of the Wu Cai Immortal, a shock immediately went through Lin Jing’s heart.

He had not expected the Wu Cai Immortal to be so overbearing.

Without a second word, he went straight for a Soul Search on him.

The Soul-searching Technique.

It is an extremely malevolent Cultivation Technique.

It can forcibly search through a Cultivator’s memory, but it is only effective on those whose Cultivation is lower than one’s own.

Memory is naturally the most private and important aspect of a person, and cannot be casually searched by others.

If only that were all, the most crucial issue is that this technique is difficult to control. If the practitioner is not careful, they could damage the other’s sea of consciousness, causing them to become stupid and demented for the rest of their life.

Even more serious, turning into a vegetative state is also not impossible.

Therefore, the Soul-searching Technique is generally used against enemies and isn’t lightly employed.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wu’s brow also furrowed, and then he spoke directly:

“It’s absolutely impossible. The person from your Liu Clan who was killed had your Ten Day Soul Chasing Curse on him, and it definitely wasn’t this Lin Jing. You couldn’t possibly be unaware of that.”

“Besides, Lin Jing is only at the eighth level of Qi Refinement. How could he possibly be an opponent for your clan’s younger generation?”

After listening, the Wu Cai Immortal’s expression darkened as he looked at Lin Jing:

“Yi Yuan had a conflict with him just now at the Spirit Cleansing grounds.”

“Who knew that right after he was transmitted from the Spirit Cleansing grounds, he would be killed. How do you explain this?”

“Even if this person isn’t the murderer, he is still a major suspect.”

Having spoken, the Wu Cai Immortal stared intently at Zhang Wu, with obvious killing intent in his eyes, while saying coldly, “Today…”

“I am determined to Soul Search him, Zhang Wu, are you intending to stop me?”

It looked as though the Wu Cai Immortal didn’t put Zhang Wu in his eyes at all and was determined to proceed with the Soul Search on Lin Jing.

At this point, Zhang Wu’s expression also darkened:

“Wu Cai, aren’t you being too tyrannical? This man is on good terms with our young master. No matter what, I cannot allow you to lay a hand on him in my presence.”

Zhang Wu’s attitude was extremely resolute, standing in front of Lin Jing.

Seeing that Zhang Wu gave no ground, the Wu Cai Immortal’s aura suddenly surged, looking as though he would strike at any moment.

Lin Jing’s brows also deeply furrowed.

The Wu Cai Immortal was so unreasonable, not caring about his identity as a Golden Core Immortal and insisting on making a move against him—something Lin Jing could never have anticipated.

In this situation, even if he wanted to enter the System Space, it seemed highly unlikely.

Fortunately, they were not too far from the entrance to the Spirit Cleansing grounds at Fang Market. Should a fight break out,

Lin Jing would have no option but to do his best to help Zhang Wu hold off the Wu Cai Immortal, waiting for someone from the Fang Market to arrive.

With this in mind, Lin Jing had already reached for his Storage Bag.

As soon as the Wu Cai Immortal made a move, Lin Jing would pull out the Lu Zhen Sword that the Zhang Family Patriarch had given him.

Elder Yu had once told him that the Lu Zhen Sword could even pose a threat to a Golden Core Cultivator.

By then, even just holding it in his hands would be a threat to the Wu Cai Immortal, causing the latter to fear damaging the valuable object and not dare to exert his full strength.

Sometimes,

A trump card’s effectiveness doesn’t always require it to be played.

Just at this critical moment…

An old voice came from behind Lin Jing.

“Wu Cai Daoist friend, long time no see, hope all has been well with you.”

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a figure flying in from the direction of the Fang Market.

This person, Lin Jing had also seen before.

It was none other than the Zhang Family Patriarch, Zhang Chenfan.

Upon Zhang Chenfan’s arrival, the expression on the Wu Cai Immortal’s face grew even gloomier.

“Zhang Chenfan, what are you doing here?”

“If you intend to make a move against Zhang Wu, of course, I’d come.”

No sooner had the Zhang Family Patriarch’s words fallen, than he was already near the group.

Zhang Wu and Lin Jing both turned around and saluted Zhang Chenfan with clasped fists:

“Patriarch…”

“Immortal Chenfan…”

Zhang Chenfan nodded to both, then turned to Zhang Wu and asked:

“Little Wu, what’s going on here?”

Zhang Wu saluted and said to the Zhang Family Patriarch:

“Reporting to the Patriarch, it’s like this…”

Zhang Wu recounted the recent events to the Zhang Family Patriarch.

After listening, the Zhang Family Patriarch nodded and then turned to the Wu Cai Immortal saying:

“Wu Cai…”

“You are a well-known senior with a longstanding reputation. You must be quite clear that this matter is not something Lin Jing could have done. Why make things difficult for a junior?”

After speaking, the Zhang Family Patriarch glanced at Lin Jing, then continued:

“Lin Jing is often seen in close proximity to the young lady from the Bai Family and has some misunderstandings with your family’s younger generation. This is no secret; many people are aware of this matter…”

“Are you perhaps taking this out on him because of this affair?”

After hearing this, the Wu Cai Immortal’s face turned even uglier:

“Zhang Chenfan, it is not your place to lecture me on what I should do…”

After speaking, the Wu Cai Immortal directly pointed at the Zhang Family Patriarch, and continued:

“And you, always at odds with our Liu Clan, I’ve long found you displeasing.”

“How about it?”

“Are you willing to have a bout with me?”

At this moment, the Wu Cai Immortal’s animosity wasn’t just directed at Lin Jing anymore.

Ever since the deaths of Liu Yiyuan and his son, he had been suppressing the rage in his heart. Now, seeing the Zhang Family Patriarch, with whom he had always been at odds, a nameless anger arose within him.

Despite being confronted in such a manner, the Zhang Family Patriarch wasn’t angry but shook his head in resignation and said:

“Sigh…”

“There have been too many misfortunes in your Liu Clan recently.”

“I assume you’ve been suppressing your anger all this while. Since you want to fight, I could keep you company.”

“It could be good for you to vent out your anger.”

These words, coming from the Zhang Family Patriarch, sounded to the Wu Cai Immortal like mockery.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at the Zhang Family Patriarch and then suddenly burst into laughter:

“Hahaha…”

“Zhang Chenfan, you hypocrite!”
