Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

“The owner of the beast pet just now was from the Liu Clan, and the one conversing with him was none other than the Liu family ancestor, the Wu Cai Immortal.”

“Fellow Daoist, patience brings a peaceful and tranquil moment.” Zhang Yuan reminded.

“Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. I understand,” Lin Jing said.

“Zhang Yuan, what’s with you today? You’re usually the least talkative, aren’t you?” Huang Qingling looked at Zhang Yuan with puzzled inquiry.

“Fellow Daoist Qing Ling jests. I am indeed less talkative usually, but today’s matters concern life and death,” Zhang Yuan replied.

“I used to think you were rather dull and not very talkative, but it turns out you’re pretty decent after all,” she commented.

“Let’s go, let’s go inside together…” Huang Qingling invited Zhang Yuan.

“Alright…”

Zhang Yuan seemed unaccustomed and hesitated for a moment before responding.

“Farewell, fellow Daoist,” Zhang Yuan said to Lin Jing with a cupped fist salute.

“Farewell,” Lin Jing replied with a cupped fist salute.

After the two left, Lin Jing also made his way to the auction hall.

This little episode might not mean much to others, but for Lin Jing, the person involved, it instilled in him a sense of crisis.

Here, his strength was far too weak.

Lin Jing arrived at the entrance of the venue, showed his token, and then a maid led him into the hall.

Upon entering the hall, Lin Jing felt his Divine Sense being suppressed; it turned out that, just like the black market, this place also had a Formation that blocked Divine Sense.

At this moment, the maid by his side explained:

“Immortal, to protect the privacy of all buyers, this auction has activated a

Formation that blocks Divine Sense. If you wish not to expose your true identity, you may use Spiritual Power to change your appearance.”

“With Divine Sense blocked in this auction hall, no one will be able to recognize your true face.”

“Hmm.”

Lin Jing nodded and continued to walk inside.

He had already changed his appearance, so naturally, he had no worries.

Once inside the hall, Lin Jing looked around to find that the interior decor was extremely opulent. The seats in the hall were all made from Red Spirit Wood and shone with a crimson hue.

Moreover, at the top of the four corners of the hall, there were high-level Magic Artifacts emitting a soft glow, illuminating the entire hall, yet not harsh to the eyes.

With the maid’s guidance, Lin Jing took his seat.

The auction hall was very spacious, accommodating hundreds of people in just this one large hall without feeling crowded.

Not far from the entrance, there were two sets of stairs leading upward, where members of the various large clans were seated in private boxes on the upper floor.

The spot where Lin Jing was seated wasn’t too close to the front but was rather off to the side and towards the rear.

However, the location was still acceptable, and it was not likely that many people would notice him.

Of course, when bidding, it would definitely attract the attention of others.

After guiding Lin Jing to his seat, the maid spoke again, explaining to him:

“Beside each seat, there is a token. If you wish to participate in the bidding, you just need to raise your token and then state your bid.”

“After a successful bid, you may proceed to the back of the hall to transact and collect the item you won.”

“To head to the back of the hall, go through here, and you will reach it directly, ” the maid pointed to an entrance not far in front of Lin Jing’s left.

After explaining, she handed Lin Jing a booklet that was the listing of today’s auction items and then withdrew.

At this point, there was still some time before the start of the auction, and a portion of the people hadn’t arrived yet in the large hall.

The others who had arrived were engaged in small groups, discussing among familiar faces.

“Have you checked the list? This time’s auction items actually include the Pure

Accumulation Pill.”

“Yeah, I saw that too…”

“The appearance of the Pure Accumulation Pill at this time, I wonder which family is behind it…”

Clearly, this person knew something about the inside story.

“Shh…”

“Stop talking about it; this isn’t for us to discuss. Be careful not to bring trouble upon ourselves.”

“Right… right..

“Let’s talk about something else.”

Lin Jing at this moment picked up the list of items for auction and started to look through it carefully.

As he browsed through the list, Lin Jing realized that it was different from the one he had seen before.

The first few items were not particularly impressive, comprising advanced magic artifacts, rare ores and metals for artifact-crafting, and spells that could be practiced only by Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Compared to the standards of this auction, these were rather common items, so they were placed at the forefront to be auctioned off first.

Lin Jing casually skimmed through them and continued flipping towards the back.

As Lin Jing flipped through, the items started to become increasingly precious.

Finally, Lin Jing saw the Biling Flower Rhizome that he was interested in.

Although Lin Jing had an idea of the rough value of the Biling Flower Rhizome, he had never participated in an auction before and had no idea what final price it would fetch.

Moreover, with so many large clans present, if they took an interest, then the Spirit Stones that Lin Jing carried would not be enough.

He couldn’t help but feel apprehensive.

Continuing onwards, Lin Jing saw the Pure Accumulation Pill that he was auctioning, right next to the rhizome.

Lin Jing then kept flipping, and the quality of the items continued to improve.

Right until he reached the last page, he saw a few items that were quite impressive, but with his current financial situation, they were nothing but wishful thinking.

After a while, the people attending the auction gradually arrived, and the venue was soon packed with participants.

At that time, the auction house doors closed.

Then, the light from the magic artifacts around the auction house dimmed, causing the entire venue to fall into a subdued glow.

Above the auction stage in the front, a brighter magic artifact lit up, instantly turning the auction stage into the focal point of the whole venue.

Elder Bai stepped onto the stage at this time, and a manager from Yuebaolou followed behind him.

Lin Jing recognized him at a glance, he was Steward Cheng from Yuebaolou, who usually had a good relationship with Elder Yu.

Presumably, Steward Cheng should be the host of today’s auction event.

Elder Bai stood on the stage, glanced around the room, and then began to speak.

“Welcome, everyone, to the Yuebaolou auction.”

Elder Bai’s voice was not loud, but it was clear, as if he was standing right in front of you.

“Many of you must be old friends who have attended our Yuebaolou auctions many times, so I’ll spare you the usual spiel.” “Now, I’ll explain to those who are here for the first time.”

“There are three rules for this auction.”

“First: No malicious bidding. If anyone is discovered lacking sufficient Spirit Stones and is bidding maliciously, the penalty will be ejection from the event at the least, or executed on the spot at most.”

“Second: Fighting within the premises is prohibited. If there’s enmity between parties, it may be settled outside the venue. If any fights break out inside, do not blame me for being impolite.”

When Elder Bai said this, his eyes were cold, sweeping over everyone seated in the hall.

Instantly, everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Lin Jing also felt uncomfortable, so he circulated his cultivation technique to counter the feeling.

After scanning the room, Elder Bai continued:

“And third: During the auction, no one is to use their influence to pressure others. Everyone will bid fairly..”
