Chapter 439: Chapter 137: I Treat Brother Lin as My Brother, But He Treats Like Hard Labor
After testing the new feature, Lin Jing was thoroughly satisfied.
Then, he planted the Moonflow Pure Heart Fruit which he had won through alchemy competition with Lin Jue.
After planting the Moonflow Pure Heart Fruit, Lin Jing had one more thing to do.
He was already on the verge of a breakthrough before.
That day, when Li Qingqing asked Lin Jing, he suddenly had a realization.
It was during that realization that Lin Jing knew he could continue to break through to the ninth level of the Golden Core Stage.
The best place to attempt a breakthrough in cultivation was inside the Alchemy Room.
Because inside the Alchemy Room, one would receive a Divine Sense strength bonus, making the breakthrough easier.
Lin Jing went to the Alchemy Room, sat down cross-legged, then took out a Pure Elixir from his Space Ring and consud it.
After taking the Elixir dicine and feeling the surging Spiritual Power inside his body, he imdiately began to condense the Spiritual Power…
…
…
It took twelve hours before Lin Jing had completely refined the Spiritual Power contained in the Pure Elixir.
At this point, Lin Jing’s state had already reached the limit of the eighth layer of the Golden Core Stage, and it was ti to start the assault on the ninth layer.
After that, Lin Jing circulated the Immortal Five Elents Technique, gathered the Spiritual Power within his body, and began the assault on the ninth layer of the Golden Core…
The first assault on the bottleneck of the ninth Golden Core layer had no effect whatsoever.
…
After the first assault, Lin Jing rested for a mont before gathering Spiritual Power once again for a second attempt…
The second assault provoked a slight reaction from the bottleneck of the ninth Golden Core layer.
…
Seeing the second assault achieve so effect, Lin Jing didn’t wait too long and directly launched the third assault.
Under the continuous assaults by Lin Jing, the bottleneck of the ninth Golden Core layer finally began to loosen.
Following that, Lin Jing mustered his energy and carried out the fourth and fifth assaults…
……
Eventually, after the fifth assault, the bottleneck obstructing Lin Jing’s breakthrough to the ninth Golden Core layer could no longer resist and was breached by him.
And so, Lin Jing entered the ninth level of the Golden Core Stage.
Upon reaching the ninth tier of the Golden Core Stage, just one more step forward would take him across the chasm that separated the Golden Core Realm from the Nascent Soul Realm.
The breakthrough this ti was quite smooth, and it didn’t take much effort.
After the breakthrough, Lin Jing ditated for a few more hours to stabilize his Cultivation.
Next.
Lin Jing continued his grand pursuit of Alchemy…
……
In the following few days, Lin Jing spent nearly all his ti within the System Space.
During this period of Alchemy, Lin Jing gained so more Harvest Points.
Afterward…
He used these Harvest Points to accelerate the ripening of the Moonflow Pure Heart Fruit, then planted one of them in the high-grade Spirit Field of Li Yan Island.
By doing so.
Apart from the Nirvana Flower, all the important Spirit Plants needed to concoct the Nirvana Elixir were planted by Lin Jing in the Spirit Fields of Fla Island.
In Lin Jing’s System Space, including the Nirvana Flower, all the other necessary Spirit Plants were now available.
He could concoct the Nirvana Elixir at any ti.
As for the important Fourth Rank Spirit Plants in the Spirit Fields of Fla Island, they were always protected by Formations.
Apart from Lin Jing and a few others…
Only Yue Qi and the Golden Core Cultivator managing the Spirit Fields were aware of this.
As for everyone else, they had no idea whatsoever.
After all, these Fourth Rank Spirit Plants were exceedingly precious, so naturally, the fewer people who knew about them, the better.
And so it was, not until Zhang Jian’s arrival did Lin Jing co out from the System Space again.
Eager for the trading fair, Zhang Jian was visibly excited and couldn’t wait to speak to Lin Jing:
“Brother Lin…”
“Let’s go now.”
Lin Jing nodded and replied:
“Yes, let’s go…”
Having said that, Lin Jing set off for Xian Yu Island with Zhang Jian.
On the way, Lin Jing asked Zhang Jian:
“Today, you seem especially excited. Why is that?”
Zhang Jian responded:
“Of course…”
“After I went back, I inquired a bit more, and there are quite a few people attending this trading fair. Maybe I can trade for one or two of the Spirit Plants needed for the Nirvana Elixir.”
“We had agreed that once you gather all the Spirit Plants, I get one of the Nirvana Elixirs you concoct.”
Lin Jing was at a loss for words, thinking it was sothing important, only to realize it was about this…
With a slight twist of his mouth, Lin Jing said:
“Don’t worry, you’ll have your share of the Nirvana Elixir…”
…
…
As the two neared Xian Yu Island, they encountered many other Cultivators with the sa goal.
These Cultivators, either flying with swords or steering Flying Boats, were heading toward Xian Yu Island, and they were all at the Golden Core Stage.
Just as Zhang Jian had said, there indeed were quite a few people participating in this trading fair.
Subsequently, the two joined the others and set foot on Xian Yu Island together.
Once on Xian Yu Island, Lin Jing turned to ask Zhang Jian:
“Where is the trading fair being held?”
Zhang Jian turned back and inford Lin Jing:
“With so many Cultivators participating in the trading fair this ti, the fair will be held at a mountaintop in the western part of Xian Yu Island.”
Lin Jing nodded, then told Zhang Jian:
“Now that we’re here on Xian Yu Island, you lead the way…”
Zhang Jian laughed and replied:
“No problem…”
“After all, I’m sowhat of a host here.”
Having said that, Zhang Jian took the lead and guided Lin Jing towards the western part of Fla Island.
As expected, it didn’t take long.
The two arrived at the mountaintop ntioned by Zhang Jian.
The mountaintop was as if cut horizontally by a sword, completely leveled, and a huge plaza had even been constructed upon it.
And that’s not all, at the edges of the mountain top, there were traces of Formations that had been laid out.
It seed that the mountain summit was protected by so formations.
After Lin Jing and Zhang Jian arrived at the summit, they went straight to a corner behind the plaza.
Looking down, Lin Jing noticed that the ground of the plaza was clean and tidy, and there were no signs of being exposed to wind or rain, not even the traces of the nearby formation seed very old.
Lin Jing, observing the seemingly brand new plaza, asked Zhang Jian:
“Brother Zhang…”
“Is this plaza and the formation newly constructed or refurbished for the event?”
Zhang Jian answered:
“This mountain top was flattened long ago by the sword of a Nascent Soul True Monarch…”
“The plaza and the formation were supposedly built specifically for this trading event, so they are not very old.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing thoughtfully nodded.
Then, lifting his head, he looked out toward the plaza, which was already populated by dozens of cultivators.
Furthermore, there were other cultivators flying toward them from the distance.
At this mont, Zhang Jian exclaid with so emotion:
“Such a gathering of Golden Core Cultivators in the Thousand Islands Domain is probably a first…”
Lin Jing looked ahead at the crowd and nodded:
“Whether it’s the first ti or not, I’m not sure, but there are indeed quite a few people…”
Afterwards, the two of them waited there, anticipating the beginning of the trading event.
Aside from Lin Jing and his company, other people did the sa, so standing alone, others in groups of three or five.
They all waited together for the event to start.
Right now, at the very front of the plaza, there were a few cultivators at the Golden Core Peak, who were also chatting idly.
Cultivators occasionally approached to say hello.
Each of them smiled and responded in kind, appearing quite popular.
Seeing Lin Jing look toward those cultivators, Zhang Jian started explaining:
“Those are so of the individuals who ventured into that relic and obtained treasures. They’re the ones who initiated this trading event.”
Once Lin Jing heard the explanation, he understood imdiately.
It’s no wonder that everyone was greeting them.
Lin Jing was out of the loop concerning the event due to his lack of interest previously, hence he knew none of this about the trading event.
So much so that he didn’t even recognize the initiators of the event.
However, with Zhang Jian at his side,
There was indeed no need for Lin Jing to know too much, as Zhang Jian had been paying quite a bit of attention to this trading event, and it sufficed for Lin Jing to simply follow him.
As ti slowly passed, more and more cultivators arrived at the mountain top.
The summit now had gathered over a hundred people.
It was indeed a rare spectacle.
By now, the trading event was about to begin.
Just then, a blue-robed cultivator who had just arrived approached Lin Jing and Zhang Jian.
Upon seeing Zhang Jian, the cultivator hurriedly greeted him:
“Brother Zhang…”
“I knew you would co, and sure enough, I guessed right.”
Zhang Jian, seeing the man, smiled and replied:
“Brother Li…”
“Your ho is right on Xian Yu Island, why have you co so late?”
The blue-robed cultivator said:
“It’s all because of you, Brother Zhang…”
Zhang Jian imdiately looked puzzled and responded:
“Now, Brother Li, don’t joke with , how could it be because of ?”
The blue-robed cultivator said:
“Brother Zhang…”
“Didn’t you ntion last ti that you obtained a partial Formation treatise and have been searching for the latter half? Today, I saw it.”
After hearing this, Zhang Jian was montarily stunned, then he beca extrely excited and said:
“Are you talking about the lower half of that Formation treatise?”
“Where is it?”
“Quick, tell …”
It seed that this Formation treatise was quite valuable to Zhang Jian.
The blue-robed cultivator said:
“It’s with Old Man Liu…”
“However, he’s asking for a million Midium Grade Spirit Stones. I didn’t have that much money, so I hurried over to tell you.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian imdiately broke into a wide smile:
“A million Midium Grade Spirit Stones…”
“Not expensive!”
“It’s a fair price…”
“With that Formation treatise, I could have hope of breaking through to a Fifth-Rank Array Master.”
As he spoke, Zhang Jian quickly checked his Storage Bag.
After going through it, his brow furrowed and he said:
“Still short of two-hundred thousand…”
At that mont, he looked up at Lin Jing, his furrowed brow instantly relaxing, and then directly said to Lin Jing:
“Brother Lin…”
“Lend two-hundred thousand Spirit Stones for urgent use…”
“I’ll pay you back when we return.”
Lin Jing didn’t waste words and simply took out two-hundred thousand Midium Grade Spirit Stones from his Space Ring and handed them to Zhang Jian.
He then said with a smile:
“You don’t need to pay back. Once you advance to a Fifth-Rank Array Master, just set up a few formations for .”
Zhang Jian, taking the Spirit Stones handed over by Lin Jing, hadn’t even had a chance to feel happy when he heard Lin Jing’s follow-up.
Zhang Jian was left speechless…
He had yet to beco a Fifth-Rank Array Master, and already work had been assigned to him.
Looking at the mischievous smile on Lin Jing’s face, Zhang Jian shook his head and let out a sigh and said:
“Sigh…”
“I treat you as a brother, Lin, and yet you treat like hired labor…”
“Brother Lin…”
“I really misjudged you…”
