Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 141: In the Blink of an Eye, Half a Year

Lin Jing couldn't help but cry and laugh at the same time:

"Okay..."

At this moment, Li Qingqing, who was standing to the side, sized up Lin Jing and then turned her head to ask Huang Qingling:

"Does Lin Daoyou also cook?"

"Of course..." Huang Qingling opened her mouth as if it were obvious.

"Lin Daoyou, how are his cooking skills?" Li Qingqing asked.

"Well, let's just say, he's quite on par with the head chefs of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion..."

"Really?"

"Then one of these days, I must try Brother Lin's skills," Li Tangyu said.

"Count me in!" Zhang Yuan also chimed in at that moment.

"Qing Ling Daoyou is exaggerating. Although my cooking is passable, it's not comparable to the chefs of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion," Lin Jing modestly claimed.

"Talk is cheap. In a few days, you all come over, and let him show off his skills..."

Huang Qingling promptly decided.

"Okay..." the group responded.

......

After the banquet ended, everyone dispersed.

Lin Jing and Huang Qingling said goodbye to Li Tangyu and the other three and went back as well.

The day after returning, Elder Yu started his seclusion.

Since he needed a long time for this seclusion, he also had some matters to discuss with Lin Jing before he began.

In the days following Elder Yu's seclusion, members from both the Zhang Family and the Liu Clan underwent their Tribulations.

This time, perhaps learning from Li Family's lesson, both families were well-prepared, and both individuals succeeded in their Tribulations.

As for Fang Market, no one underwent Tribulation there. It was said that they had already sent the Cultivation True Elixir away.

The five Cultivation True Elixirs refined by Elder Master Li this time allowed three people to break through to the Golden Core Stage.

In Fang Market, this added three Golden Core Immortals.

For a while, Fang Market once again bustled with excitement.

Next...

After the hustle, days returned to their tranquil state.

......

Time passed in a whirl, and before they knew it, more than half a year had gone by.

By the end of October, the weather was cool and refreshing.

However, the nighttime weather was already cold enough to chill the bones.

On this day...

Lin Jing gathered with several others in his courtyard.

They were Huang Qingling and the siblings Li Tangyu and Zhang Yuan, among others.

Lin Jing was busy in the kitchen at the time, while Li Tangyu and Zhang Yuan were helping.

Meanwhile, Huang Qingling and Li Qingqing were chatting leisurely in the courtyard.

It was then that Li Tangyu suddenly spoke up:

"Brother Zhang, I heard that your uncle has stabilized his cultivation and emerged from seclusion?"

What Li Tangyu referred to was naturally the Zhang Family's newly ascended Golden Core and also one of Zhang Yuan's uncles.

"Mm, he just came out yesterday…" Zhang Yuan replied.

"It seems, if nothing unexpected occurs, Elder Yu should be exiting seclusion soon too..." Li Tangyu then turned to Lin Jing and said.

"Should be, and Elder Bai should be returning soon from his trip as well," Lin Jing replied.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Li..."

"I heard that you refined a batch of third-grade Elixir Medicine yesterday. How did it go?" Lin Jing turned his head and asked Li Tangyu.

Li Tangyu replied, "Not too bad, I managed a couple of Medium Grade ones at best."

After speaking, Li Tangyu sighed:

"Sigh..."

"The Spirit Plants needed to refine third-grade Elixir Medicines are too hard to find; this furnace was only the third one I've refined since advancing to a third-grade Alchemist."

"If I had the chance to refine a few more times and get more practice, I should be able to produce Superior grade Elixir Medicine."

Finding the Spirit Plants for third-grade Elixir Medicines indeed proved challenging, and even Li Tangyu, a scion of an Alchemy Dao family, rarely had the opportunity to refine third-grade Elixir Medicines.

Let alone Lin Jing.

Since Lin Jing became a third-grade Alchemist half a year ago, thanks to his proficiency.

Until now, he had not yet refined even one furnace of third-grade Elixir Medicine.

The most important reason is that the materials are hard to come by.

For Li Tangyu, Lin Jing was very envious. Born into an alchemic family, he could obtain those rare spirit plants with the help of his clan.

Whereas Lin Jing could only fend for himself.

"Are you done yet? We're starving..."

By now, Huang Qingling and Li Qingqing, who had been in the courtyard, came to the kitchen door and urged them on.

Li Tangyu looked up at the two and teased them with a smile,

"You two don't help at all, yet you have the nerve to rush us without feeling guilty?"

"Brother, don't you want to cook a delicious meal for your dearest sister..."

Having said that, Li Qingqing put on a fragile look and blinked at Li Tangyu.

Then, she turned her head towards Huang Qingling.

Huang Qingling caught on and spoke directly,

"Tang Yu..."

Before Huang Qingling finished speaking, Li Tangyu interrupted her.

"Alright..."

"No more words, I shouldn't have spoken. The two young misses, please go wait."

Li Tangyu seemed weary of the two, while Lin Jing and Zhang Yuan exchanged glances but kept a tacit silence.

At that moment, silence was the wisest decision.

Soon after, the preparations were finished, and the food was served. Everyone sat down to eat together.

"It smells so good..."

Upon smelling the aroma of the dishes, Li Qingqing's appetite was instantly aroused.

"Which dish did my brother make? I want to try that first."

"This vegetable and pork fish soup was made by him," Lin Jing said.

"Good... Let me try..."

"Lin Jing, have the Detoxification Elixir ready, just in case I accidentally poison myself. Please save me in time, Brother Lin Jing..." Li Qingqing's performance was quite exaggerated.

Since Li Qingqing was the youngest, she started calling Lin Jing "brother" after they became familiar with each other.

To differentiate from Li Tangyu, she also added Lin Jing's name, thus it became the address she used now.

Li Tangyu's face was lined with frustration.

Watching his mischievous sister, he gripped his chopsticks a bit tighter, almost ready to rap them on Li Qingqing's head next.

Li Qingqing took a spoon, scooped up some of the vegetable and pork fish soup into her bowl, picked up a slice of fish, and put it in her mouth.

"Not bad at all; my brother's cooking has improved. You all should try too..."

After speaking, she scooped soup into bowls for the others.

Lin Jing also picked up a piece of fish and tasted it.

"Hmm..."

"The fish is fresh, and the soup is delightful... Indeed, it's quite good..."

Huang Qingling and Zhang Yuan also nodded in agreement.

Just as Li Tangyu was smiling proudly to himself,

A remark from Huang Qingling made Li Tangyu's smile freeze instantly on his face. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"If you work a little harder, you might reach half the level of Lin Jing..."

"Yes, yes... I was about to say that..."

Li Qingqing nodded repeatedly, expressing her agreement.

Actually...

Li Tangyu's cooking skills were quite good, and he had at least eighty percent of Lin Jing's proficiency.

And this vegetable and pork fish soup was Li Tangyu's specialty, which he doubted even Lin Jing could surpass.

However...

Huang Qingling and Li Qingqing were just used to teasing and belittling Li Tangyu.

Outside the home, Li Tangyu was always polite and gentlemanly.

Not only was he handsome, but he also possessed cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Moreover...

He was the youngest third-grade alchemist in Fang Market.

Many daughters from families within the market had feelings for him.

But Huang Qingling felt nothing towards him.

She and Li Qingqing spent their days mocking and belittling him for fun.
