Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 262: Chapter 246: The Demonic Path Demon Cultivator Strikes Again

Not long after the Wu Cai Immortal left, Lin Jing also returned to the Lingyi Fang Market with several others.

As soon as they got back to the Lingyi Fang Market, several Elders immediately left.

After saying goodbye to the Zhang Family Patriarch and Zhang Wu, Lin Jing returned to the small courtyard where they had been staying temporarily.

It was only when Lin Jing arrived at the courtyard that he discovered that the others had already gone out to look for him.

Only Li Qingqing had stayed behind.

When Lin Jing entered the courtyard, Li Qingqing, hearing the noise, ran out of the house, and upon seeing Lin Jing…

She was first stunned, but then recovering quickly, she hurried over to Lin Jing’s side, saying excitedly,

“Lin Jing, you’ve finally come back.”

“How are you, are you hurt?”

Having said that,

Li Qingqing then looked Lin Jing up and down, inspecting him.

When she saw that Lin Jing was unharmed and his breath was stable, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“It looks like you’re okay, you haven’t been hurt.”

“You don’t know, after the incident at the Lingyi place the other day, we were so worried when you didn’t come out,” she said.

“Fortunately, Senior Han from the Qingyuan Sword Sect came later and told us that you had been transported away,” she continued.

“Only then did we start to feel relieved.”

“Right now my grandfather, my brother, and Sister Qingling have all gone out to look for you,” she added.

“Leaving only me here.”

“I didn’t expect to be right here waiting for your return; it’s really wonderful,” she stated.

“If my brother and the others knew, they would be very happy too,” she mentioned.

Before Lin Jing could speak, Li Qingqing poured out a torrent of words like spilling beans.

Lin Jing watched with a smile, quietly listening.

After saying all this, Li Qingqing changed the subject and asked again,

“By the way, Lin Jing, how did you get back?”

It wasn’t until this moment that Lin Jing got a chance to speak.

He looked at Li Qingqing, who was chirping like a little sparrow, and though her words were incessant, they were full of concern for him.

This warmed Lin Jing’s heart, making him think to himself,

“These past few days, my disappearance, not knowing if I was dead or alive…”

“Probably not just Li Qingqing, Li Tan Yu, and Huang Qingling as well, they must be very worried.”

Then Lin Jing began to explain to Li Qingqing,

“Previously, I was transported quite far away…”

…

…

“Until later on, I had good luck on the road, running into Zhang Wu, as well as Chen Fan Immortal…”

He didn’t say much more beyond that.

After hearing this, Li Qingqing couldn’t help but remark,

“So that’s what happened…”

“Lin Jing, your luck was really not good to be transported so far away…”

Lin Jing then began to comfort Li Qingqing,

“Actually, it’s okay, I didn’t encounter any powerful Demonic Beasts on the way…”

At this point, Lin Jing suddenly remembered that the others were still out looking for him, and since he was back, it was time to find a way to let them know.

He then asked Li Qingqing,

“By the way, Qingqing…”

“I’m already back, do you have a way to contact your grandfather so they can stop searching…”

Li Qingqing nodded repeatedly, and then said,

“Yes… Yes…”

“I was just so excited to see you, Lin Jing, that I forgot for the moment.”

After saying this, Li Qingqing reached into her Storage Bag and pulled out a Magic Artifact in the form of a Jade Pendant.

Then.

She began to channel her Spiritual Power into the Jade Pendant.

When the Spiritual Power entered the pendant, it began to emit a red light that flickered on and off.

After a while, Li Qingqing stopped channeling her power.

And after Li Qingqing ceased her channeling, the light from the pendant did not fade but continued to flash.

Only then did Li Qingqing turn to Lin Jing,

“It’s done, Lin Jing…”

“My brother and the others have received the message. It shouldn’t be long before they come back,” she assured him.

After speaking, Li Qingqing then put away the Jade Pendant.

“Good…”

Lin Jing replied.

……

By the time Elder Master Li returned with several people, it had already passed midday.

The mere return had taken so long; they must have covered a considerable distance searching for him.

Upon seeing Lin Jing, the group immediately gathered around him.

They gave him a thorough check-up.

Seeing that Lin Jing was unharmed, they finally relaxed.

At that moment, Elder Master Li also came over.

He inquired after Lin Jing’s wellbeing.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Lin Jing decided to tell Elder Master Li everything that had happened that day.

After all,

Elder Bai and Elder Yu were not present.

In the Demon Race Secret Realm, he was entirely dependent on Elder Master Li for protection.

And since the Wu Cai Immortal was so dissatisfied with him, naturally, he could not keep this from Elder Master Li.

After listening, Elder Master Li nodded, and aside from looking a bit off, he did not say much else.

Lin Jing’s account of the incident made Li Tan Yu, Huang Qingling, and the others exchange glances in bewilderment.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Jing was puzzled—could there be more to this matter?

Shortly afterward,

Elder Master Li cautioned them with a few words before leaving.

The others, however, had much more to discuss with Lin Jing.

So,

they took Lin Jing back to his room.

“Thank goodness the Immortal Chen Fan arrived in time; otherwise, Wu Cai Immortal really would have struck at you,” said Huang Qingling, still shaken, as she spoke to Lin Jing.

After saying this, she continued to question Lin Jing:

“Do you know why Wu Cai Immortal would act so recklessly, without any concern?”

Lin Jing nodded, then replied:

“I know some things…”

“According to what they said, Liu Yiyuan died, and it was here in the Secret Realm…”

Huang Qingling nodded, then added:

“That’s just one of the things…”

“Over the past few days, several major events have occurred.”

“Liu Yiyuan’s death is just one of them.”

“Actually, there is another reason for Wu Cai Immortal’s behavior.”

“There is?”

“What’s that reason?” Lin Jing asked urgently, puzzled.

“Liu Yiyuan’s father also died,”

“And what’s more, he died almost at the same time as Liu Yiyuan.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing’s face showed his astonishment:

“Ah…”

He indeed did not know of this.

At that time, he had killed Liu Yiyuan under a coincidental and particular set of circumstances, an act of necessity for Lin Jing.

But what about Liu Yiyuan’s father? What was going on with him?

Furthermore, both dying at the same time seemed too strange.

Besides, Liu Yiyuan’s father was a Golden Core Cultivator— who could have killed him?

Even if overpowered, a Golden Core Cultivator, if wanting to escape, could be stopped by whom?

Unless he encountered a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

With this in mind, Lin Jing asked Huang Qingling:

“Liu Yiyuan’s father, wasn’t he a Golden Core Cultivator?

“Who could have killed him? Could it be he met a Nascent Soul Cultivator?”

But this time,

before Huang Qingling could speak, Li Tan Yu, who was beside him, took over the conversation and said:

“Liu Yiyuan’s father did not die at the hands of another cultivator.”

“When he died, his body was withered like a dried corpse, his blood drained, and the state of his death was extraordinarily horrifying.”

Upon hearing Li Tan Yu’s explanation, Lin Jing immediately understood the situation.

“Demonic Path Demon Cultivator…” Lin Jing blurted out.
