Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

He opened his mouth, bit off a large piece of fish, chewed it casually a couple of times, and then swallowed it directly.

No sooner had he swallowed that bite than he took another large one…

He ate ravenously, much faster than Lin Jing.

After swallowing that mouthful, Yan Wanfei looked at Lin Jing and said seriously,

“You don’t have to look at me like that, I am indeed a Demon Cultivator, with the Green Illusion Demon Ox as my original form.”

“This title of ‘Ox-Head Warrior’ is the recognition I receive from my tribe.”

Lin Jing looked at Yan Wanfei who seemed no different from an ordinary person; not a hint of a Demonic Beast could be seen on him.

Even the demonic aura was undetectable to Lin Jing.

Thus, Lin Jing asked with confusion,

“But, Fellow Daoist Yan, you don’t look like…”

Yan Wanfei swallowed the fish in his mouth and then said proudly,

“You can’t tell, can you? Of course you can’t…”

“This is the innate mystical ability of our Green Illusion Demon Ox tribe, which allows us to change our form at will.”

As he spoke, a misty aura emanated from the Green Illusion Demon Ox, blurring his entire figure.

After a while, the misty aura dissipated, and the Green Illusion Demon Ox before Lin Jing’s eyes had changed.

Now, in front of Lin Jing, another ‘Lin Jing’ appeared.

He heard this Lin Jing say,

“Unless one’s cultivation is far superior to ours, one simply cannot detect it.”

Having said this, the misty aura appeared once more, and Yan Wanfei changed back into the burly man he was before.

Afterwards, Yan Wanfei spoke again,

“In fact, it was after seeing you that I decided.”

“I’m a man who speaks plainly…”

“Brother Lin, I want to have a fight with you.”

Yan Wanfei ate as he spoke, but his words left Lin Jing completely speechless.

A fight with him for no reason at all.

And he was in the Golden Core Stage, while Lin Jing was just a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

How could they fight?

Although if Lin Jing really were to fight, he would not fear Yan Wanfei.

But that would only be if they were enemies and used all means at their disposal.

And since Yan Wanfei arrived here, he had shown no hostility towards him.

Lin Jing simply didn’t understand why Yan Wanfei wanted to fight with him.

“Fellow Daoist Yan, I see you bear no ill will towards me. Why then do you wish to duel?”

Facing Yan Wanfei, Lin Jing directly voiced his confusion.

After speaking, he looked straight at Yan Wanfei, waiting for his answer.

Yan Wanfei was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then realizing the misunderstanding, he turned to Lin Jing and explained,

“I didn’t make myself clear before…”

“To exchange pointers, just an exchange of moves, and without the use of spells, relying solely on physical prowess.”

“Moreover, it’s not right now but after you advance to the Golden Core Stage.”

“It’s just so hard to come across a Body Refinement Cultivator; I want to test and see, between our Green Illusion Demon Ox tribe’s physique and that of you Body Refinement Cultivators, which is stronger.”

Lin Jing was speechless for a moment, not expecting Yan Wanfei to be such a cultivation lunatic.

To meet a stranger and dare to propose an exchange of pointers.

His nerve was indeed unusually bold.

One just wonders if the entire Green Illusion Demon Ox tribe was the same as he was.

After that, Yan Wanfei grinned and said to Lin Jing,

“Brother Lin, I can sense that you must be close to undergoing your tribulation, right?”

“Ever since I arrived to now, the aura around you has been becoming increasingly dense; this is the prelude to a tribulation.”

“Brother Lin, rest assured, if you are to undergo tribulation, I will stay here as your protector, ensuring that no one disturbs you.”

“After you advance to the Golden Core Stage, we can have a proper exchange of pointers then.”

“……”

Looking at Yan Wanfei’s somewhat simple and honest appearance, Lin Jing found himself at a loss for words for a moment.

However, Yan Wanfei had not misspoken. Lin Jing was indeed about to undergo tribulation.

After leaving Immortal Crossing Island, Lin Jing had finally relaxed.

And the cultivation he had been suppressing began to loosen, about to break through the restraints he had placed upon it.

If Lin Jing wished to continue the suppression, in fact, he still could for some time.

But at this moment, it was indeed unnecessary.

Hence, Lin Jing had released the suppression, allowing Yan Wanfei to sense the aura of imminent breakthrough around him.

Soon, the two of them finished eating.

Yan Wanfei stood up, brushed the sand from his clothes, and then chuckled,

“Hehe…”

“Being full feels comfortable.”

“I remember when I was just a little calf…”

At this point, Yan Wanfei suddenly stopped abruptly, bowing his head and muttering softly,

“That was close, I almost forgot the warning about the wine…”

Afterward, Yan Wanfei looked at Lin Jing and asked again,

“Brother Lin, when do you plan to undergo the tribulation?”

“I’d like to help you as your protector.”

“If it’s going to be a long wait, you might as well come with me to Bihai City. I have some matters to attend to there, and after I’m done, we can have our match,”

Faced with Yan Wanfei’s enthusiastic invitation, Lin Jing really felt overwhelmed and didn’t know how to respond, so he could only force a dry laugh and said,

“Hehe…”

“Yan, my fellow Daoist, you are truly too generous,”

Yan Wanfei didn’t mind and simply waved his hand, saying,

“It’s nothing. In this Demonic Monster Sea, there are many Demon Cultivators who crave slaughter and follow no rules whatsoever.”

“During Tribulation, if one doesn’t have a protector, these Demon Cultivators will seize the opportunity to launch surprise attacks and plunder those enduring their Tribulation.”

“This has happened many times here in the Demonic Monster Sea, and having someone to act as a protector can make things much better,”

“Is that so?” Lin Jing asked with a frown.

Yan Wanfei nodded as if it was only natural, saying,

“Of course, you must know that this is the Demonic Monster Sea, aside from the few big sea cities, there are no rules to speak of anywhere else.”

After that, Lin Jing fell deep into thought.

He had heard some things about the Demonic Monster Sea before.

The place was very chaotic, Lin Jing knew, but he never had a deep understanding of it.

Having listened to Yan Wanfei, Lin Jing finally began to truly feel the chaos of the Demonic Monster Sea.

It seemed that if one wished to survive here, cultivation was of utmost importance.

However, Lin Jing was still somewhat wary of Yan Wanfei.

After all, this Tribulation was unlike any other; Lin Jing needed to face the Heavenly Tribulation with all his might, and if someone were to interfere unexpectedly, it would put him in a passive position.

Having thought it through, Lin Jing said to Yan Wanfei,

“Fellow Daoist Yan, I won’t lie to you. I’m not quite ready yet. I intend to wait a bit longer, to make more preparations. I’ll begin the Tribulation after some time because the Heavenly Tribulation is no trifling matter,”

After hearing this, Yan Wanfei nodded and said,

“That’s fine too…”

“Brother Lin, since that’s the case, then I will take my leave first.”

After speaking, Yan Wanfei took out a jade pendant and handed it to Lin Jing, saying,

“Brother Lin, this is a Transmission Jade. Take it with you when you go to Bihai City, and you can use it to contact me. Then we can still enjoy a couple of drinks together,”

“Alright…” Lin Jing accepted the Transmission Jade and replied.

Afterward, Yan Wanfei gave Lin Jing a few more instructions and then left the place.

Not long after Yan Wanfei’s departure, Lin Jing left the small island by sword flight.

……

After Lin Jing left, he continued to search for another uninhabited small island.

He really was due for his Tribulation.

Yan Wanfei seemed enthusiastic and apparently had no ill-intent.

However, Lin Jing had only spent a short time with Yan Wanfei and was unclear about his character.

Lin Jing did not like to entrust his safety to someone he was not familiar with; thus, he used the excuse of postponing his Tribulation to leave that place.

Then, Lin Jing continued his search above the sea.

This search went on for more than ten days.

During this time, he did come across several other small islands, but they clearly had signs of someone passing by frequently.

Lin Jing chose not to settle on those islands and continued his search.

Finally, he found a rarely visited small island at last.

And there were no formidable Demonic Beasts on the island either.

After finding the island, Lin Jing began his preparations.

Earlier, on Immortal Crossing Island, Lin Jing had concocted a total of three Flawless Cultivation True Elixirs.

Now was the perfect time to make use of them.

Lin Jing sat cross-legged on the small island, took a Flawless Cultivation True Elixir, then released his cultivation, feeling the breath of heaven and earth.

Given Lin Jing’s present level of cultivation, it probably wouldn’t take long for the Heavenly Tribulation to sense it and then the Tribulation Clouds would come.

This time, Lin Jing did not prepare anything for his Tribulation other than Elixir Medicine.

The reason for this was also related to Lin Jing’s cultivation of the Overlord Divine Physique.

For the Overlord Divine Physique to advance to the Golden Core Stage, it was essential to endure the purification of the Heavenly Tribulation.

This step was known as ‘Drawing Lightning Into the Body’.

Using the domineering destructive power of the Heavenly Tribulation to reshape one’s own body and fully unleash the potential within it.

In fact, this was a necessary step for every Body Refinement Cultivator.

Spell Cultivators rely on their own spells and Magical Treasures to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, while Body Refinement Cultivators have to physically withstand it, the danger of which is self-evident.

If it were not so, there wouldn’t be so few Body Refinement Cultivators.

And it was precisely because of this that Lin Jing wanted to find an uninhabited place to undergo the Tribulation alone.

An hour passed by.

Lin Jing, occupied with circulating his Cultivation Technique and consolidating his cultivation, suddenly felt a terrifying pressure descending from the heavens and the earth.

The pressure, originating between heaven and earth, felt different from the atmosphere of the Trial Grounds on Immortal Crossing Island; it came from all directions, as if the whole world was rejecting him.

Especially Lin Jing, sitting on the island, felt it most acutely.

In the sky, some black clouds began to form, and they were gathering directly above Lin Jing’s head.

Everything around him became eerily silent at this moment; even the leaves on the island stopped stirring.

For a time, the entire island and the surrounding area became extremely tense.

As time slowly passed, the black clouds above Lin Jing’s head grew thicker and more numerous, even surpassing the Tribulation Clouds of Elder Yu’s previously endured Tribulation.

Yet even so, the thunder in the skies still did not descend.

The black clouds continued to gather.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense…
