Chapter 313: 15: Foundation Establishment Level 7
Otherwise, if he had been splattered with eagle droppings, that really would have been a hoot.
This Xiao Jin was definitely taking revenge.
Lin Jing guessed that it was dissatisfied with being used as a mount.
The key issue was that Lin Jing was quite proud of it.
That was probably why Xiao Jin’s desire for revenge had intensified.
“Screech…”
Xiao Jin, seeing Lin Jing’s disheveled appearance, screeched happily before spreading its wings to fly into the sky and then disappearing from sight.
Lin Jing, watching Xiao Jin vanish, had no way to retaliate and could only say resentfully,
“Next time I see you, I’m definitely having golden roasted wings…”
After venting, Lin Jing also left the area right away.
After leaving the area, Lin Jing didn’t go far. After observing carefully for a while and seeing that there was no other activity around, he then directly entered the System Space.
Having not entered the System Space for several months, Lin Jing still missed it quite a bit.
As soon as he entered the space, the Spirit Plants of the Second Rank, already mature in the Spirit Fields behind him, displayed a variety of colors and were full of enticing fragrances from the mature Spirit Medicine, constantly swaying in the breeze.
Lin Jing flew past the Earth Spirit Fields planted with Third-Rank Spiritual Plants and went straight to the Spirit Fields in the back.
Looking at these mature Spirit Plants, Lin Jing then directly summoned the System.
“System, activate the harvesting function for Spirit Plants.”
As Lin Jing’s words fell, a System panel appeared in front of him…
On the System panel, Lin Jing directly chose the Spirit Field that needed harvesting. Once the selection was made, the System’s voice rang out again.
“Harvesting Spirit Plants requires 1 Harvest Point. Would the host like to proceed with the harvest?”
“Harvest,” Lin Jing replied without hesitation.
“Ding”
“System notification: Host has used the harvesting function for the Spirit Field, deducting 1 Harvest Point, current remaining Harvest Points: 5563.”
As the System notification sounded, the mature Spirit Plants in the fields began to uproot themselves one by one…
This speed was much faster than if Lin Jing had harvested them himself.
In just a short while, all these Spirit Plants had been harvested and were neatly stacked at the edge of the fields.
Following the completion of the harvest, the System’s notification sounded again:
“Ding”
“System notification: Congratulations to the host on the successful harvest of Second Rank Spirit Plants, reward earned: 216 Harvest Points.”
These Second-Rank Spirit Plants yielded far too few Harvest Points.
For over thirty acres of Second-Rank Spirit Plants, only a couple hundred Harvest Points were awarded.
If he were to concoct Elixir Medicine, Lin Jing could gather these Harvest Points in less than half a month, and even have plenty to spare.
After the harvest of the Spirit Plants, Lin Jing briefly processed them and then stored them inside the System Space.
Next, he went to the front, to the fields planted with High-Grade Spiritual Plants.
Once in the fields, Lin Jing took out a Spirit-Quelling Box from his Storage Bag.
Then he opened it directly.
Inside this Spirit-Quelling Box were the Eternal Life Vine that Lin Jingzhi had obtained from Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei before.
Previously, Elder Ape had already given him the Eternal Life Vine and then compensated Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei with other Spirit Fruits.
Xiao Jin’s desire for revenge against Lin Jing also included this aspect.
After all, the Eternal Life Vine was found by Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei together.
Now that Lin Jing had obtained it, Xiao Jin was bound to hold some resentment.
Since acquiring it, Lin Jing had kept the Eternal Life Vine inside the Storage Bag all this time.
Because he hadn’t had the time to enter the System Space, Lin Jing had not planted it yet.
Now that he was inside the System Space, it was the perfect opportunity to plant it.
Next, Lin Jing came to the newly opened Spirit Field, dug a hole, and planted the Eternal Life Vine.
No sooner had he planted it than a system notification arrived.
“Ding.”
“System notification: The system has detected that the host has planted a High-Grade Spiritual Plant. Due to the excessive rank of the Spirit Plant, which surpasses the system’s level, the current level’s supply of Spiritual Power is insufficient for the growth of the Spirit Plant, resulting in its inability to grow normally.”
This notification made Lin Jing frown.
He hadn’t expected the rank of the Spirit Plant to be so high that it exceeded the system’s level.
Lin Jing now had a Fourth-Rank System Space and planting Fourth-Rank High-Grade Spiritual Plants was not an issue.
Therefore, the Eternal Life Vine must be at least Fifth-Rank.
Now that the Eternal Life Vine could not grow normally, Lin Jing had no choice but to dig it up again.
He then cleaned off the soil and put it back into the Spirit-Quelling Box.
Having done all this,
Lin Jing looked at the recently harvested clearing behind him, then went to the clearing and began to plant new Spirit Plants.
……
A day later, Lin Jing came out of the System Space.
This time,
Lin Jing had stayed in the System Space directly for a whole day.
He first replanted the thirty-odd acres of Spirit Field with Second-Rank Spirit Plants, then sat down to rest and meditate.
After completing all these tasks, Lin Jing then headed to the Alchemy Room.
He went to the Alchemy Room not to perform alchemy,
but to make a breakthrough. After accumulating for such a lengthy time, Lin Jing was fully prepared and could advance to the later stages of Foundation Establishment.
However, right at the beginning on the small island in the lake, Senior Ape noticed that Lin Jing was about to break through and directly suppressed Lin Jing’s realm, pushing it down.
And he advised him to firmly condense his Spiritual Power and cleanse his body.
And just like that, as soon as he came out,
the suppressed Spiritual Power within Lin Jing burst forth.
This time, Lin Jing did not even consume any Elixir Medicines and simply succeeded in charging through the barrier, advancing to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.
He became a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
After coming out, Lin Jing stretched his body briefly, feeling the surging Spiritual Power within him, and with a smile on his face, he took a long, deep breath.
Now, Lin Jing was one step closer to the Golden Core Stage.
Then,
Lin Jing determined his direction and set off towards the desert area that Senior Ape had mentioned.
The journey to the desert area would be a long one…
……
Immortal Crossing Island was vast, to an exaggerated extent.
This time, Lin Jing walked for a full six months before he left the dense forest area and reached the edge of the desert region.
In these six months, nothing unexpected occurred.
With the breath mark that Senior Ape had left on Lin Jing’s forehead, no Demonic Beasts dared to attack him on his journey.
And just like before, Lin Jing was searching for various High-Grade Spiritual Plants. On his way, he harvested several dozen Third-Rank Spirit Plants.
However, he found all the other Spiritual Grasses,
but the main ingredient for refining the Yellow Dragon Elixir, the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass, remained elusive.
This unavoidably made Lin Jing feel a tinge of regret.
Nevertheless, now that he had already reached the desert area, Lin Jing gave up on the idea of searching further.
Otherwise, if he were to turn back, he wouldn’t know how much effort it would take, and it was still uncertain whether he would find it.
Then,
Lin Jing stood at the edge of the dense forest, gazing at the boundless desert before him, then lifted his leg and stepped forward, walking into it…
