Chapter 34: Breakthrough Failure

Following that, Lin Jing took out a Pure Jade Box from his Storage Bag, containing a Pure Energy Gathering Pill.

This Energy Gathering Pill had only been refined a few days ago and he had yet to take it.

After adjusting his condition, Lin Jing began preparations for his breakthrough.

Opening the Pure Jade Box, Lin Jing picked up the Energy Gathering Pill and placed it directly into his mouth.

He then closed his eyes and started to operate his cultivation technique.

Soon, the Spiritual Power contained within the Energy Gathering Pill burst forth; Lin Jing felt a surge of comfort and immediately, without delay, he began to exert his full strength in operating his cultivation technique to absorb the potency of the elixir.

Time was untrackable…

It was at this critical moment, while Lin Jing was frowning in deep concentration, absorbing the elixir’s potency and attempting to break through. Suddenly, a system warning sounded, abruptly awakening Lin Jing.

“Ding”

“Warning! The host’s foundation is detected to be unstable while forcibly attempting to break through to the next realm. The host is advised to cease immediately.”

At this moment, the recently startled Lin Jing had a confused expression, unclear about the current situation.

The System had actually taken the initiative to prevent his breakthrough.

“System.”

“What’s going on?”

Lin Jing called out to the System and asked aloud.

Soon after, the System’s voice resonated.

“Host, the System has detected that the time since your last breakthrough is too short. Your Divine Sense Realm is not stable and cannot support the host’s breakthrough to the next stage. Forcing a breakthrough could, at best, result in severe injury or, at worst, death.”

“Please, host, cultivate diligently and wait for your Divine Sense Realm to stabilize before attempting to break through on your own.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Lin Jing suddenly realized; he had been trying repeatedly to break through with great difficulty, none of which had been successful.

Originally, he thought it was because of his low talent that he had difficulties in breaking through and was exerting his utmost effort to do so.

As these thoughts passed through his mind, Lin Jing suddenly noticed something was amiss.

The abrupt interruption of his breakthrough did not calm the Spiritual Power within his body, which was continuing to grow.

A vast amount of Spiritual Power was bombarding his meridians, causing Lin Jing to feel as if his body was swelling, ready to burst, and the discomfort was unbearable.

“System.”

Lin Jing hurriedly called out to the System.

“A large amount of Spiritual Power is accumulating in my meridians; is there a way to resolve this?”

“Please wait, host. The System is working on a solution for you,” responded the System.

No sooner had the System’s words fallen than Lin Jing felt the Spiritual Power within his meridians dissipating slowly.

In no time, Lin Jing’s body returned to normal. Only then did Lin Jing breathe a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness for the System.”

Afterward, he carefully reflected on the recent times. Besides Alchemy and reviewing elixir recipes, he occasionally took Luo Luo out to the Fang Market.

He seldom meditated for cultivation, thinking he could rely on Elixir Medicine to breakthrough, but who knew he would encounter this situation.

No wonder, considering that he previously had an exceptionally poor talent for cultivation, identified as a Five-Element Mixed Spiritual Root. It was impossible for him to have breakthroughs so swiftly, and naturally, he had never faced an unstable Divine Sense Realm before.

Probably even his predecessor’s father hadn’t expected that one day he could break through so quickly, and so he had never explained so much to him.

Faced with such a big blunder, Lin Jing could only smile wryly.

Cultivation, cultivation—it seems that I need to focus on it after all.

Following this.

Lin Jing decided not to waste any more time and immediately began to sit in meditation for cultivation.

In the following days, Lin Jing stopped wandering around aimlessly.

He stayed home and cultivated earnestly.

Early this morning, Ning Yue and Wei Zhengqing took Luo Luo with them and left the house.

Lin Jing knew that today was the memorial day for Luo Luo’s father, and they were heading up the mountain outside the Fang Market to pay their respects.

Although Demonic Beasts were present outside the Fang Market, with both Wei Zhengqing and Ning Yue being at the Late Stage Qi Refining, there shouldn’t be any problems.

Even if he came across Demonic Beasts he couldn’t defeat, escaping was still not a problem.

As for Ning Yue, she still, as always, hid her true appearance, which made Lin Jing, who had seen her real face, somewhat unaccustomed.

Such an unparalleled beauty, yet forced to disguise herself every day, afraid to display her looks in front of others.

It showed the chaos of the Cultivation World.

Lin Jing was also alerted by this, realizing he must keep the fact that he could craft Pure Elixirs a secret from others.

If by accident someone discovered his high success rate in crafting Pure Elixirs, what awaited him would likely not be admiration, but captivity.

Then, he would become another’s tool for Alchemy.

If he were even more careless and people found out about the System, the consequence, he need not think about it, was outright destruction.

In the room, Lin Jing was meditating and cultivating, condensing his Divine Sense.

Although Spiritual Energy was scarce here, it did not affect the cultivation of Divine Sense; there was no need for Lin Jing to enter the System Space to cultivate.

And so he continued, until night fell.

Lin Jing still seemingly unaware, was engrossed in his cultivation.

Suddenly, the system alert sounded.

“Warning! Someone has breached the perimeter. Host, please respond in time.”

Lin Jing, who was meditating, instantly opened his eyes, sensing that two people had climbed over the wall and into his yard.

The perimeter he had set was based on the entire yard; as soon as any strangers broke into the yard, the system would sound an alert to notify Lin Jing.

“Enter System Space.”

Lin Jing’s first reaction was to duck into the safety of the System Space.

Putting aside the intentions of the two individuals in the yard, with Lin Jing’s current level of cultivation, no matter who it was, he feared he would not be a match for them.

Therefore, ensuring his own safety was of utmost importance.

Besides, sneaking into someone else’s yard by climbing the wall late at night, could it ever be for a good reason? “System.”

“Activate Observation Mode.”

After taking refuge in the System Space, Lin Jing immediately activated Observation Mode, wanting to see who had suddenly broken into his home at this hour.

Just as Lin Jing entered the System Space, the two people in the yard were taken aback and stood still.

Zhang Lin was the first to speak:

“Big brother, what’s going on?”

“Just now I could still sense his presence, how did it suddenly disappear?”

“Could I have sensed it wrong? We’ve been watching all day, and he definitely hasn’t left the house.”

Zhang Sen stared intently at the house. No lights were on inside, it was pitch black. Moments before, just like Zhanz Lin, he had also felt Lin Jing’s presence suddenly vanish.

Then, he stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Lin, who was about to move forward, and whispered:

“Be careful, something’s off.”

Under Observation Mode, even though the two had taken some basic precautions to conceal themselves, Lin Jing could still make out their appearances.

“It’s actually those two, what are they trying to do?”

Lin Jing’s brows furrowed tightly, and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

He didn’t recall offending them, and he had even helped them previously, paying off their debts.

And yet, in the blink of an eye, they had snuck into his home.

It seemed, one really couldn’t be too trusting of others.

Lin Jing kept his eyes fixed on the two, pondering. He still had one Five Thunder Talisman, but facing both of them at once, he probably wouldn’t succeed.

The two, due to Lin Jing’s sudden disappearance, were now very cautious, constantly on the alert.

If Lin Jing were to suddenly appear, chances were they would become even more vigilant, and even if he threw the Five Thunder Talisman…

With their current level of caution, it probably wouldn’t have much of an effect.

“Could it be that I need to use Fixed Point Teleportation again?
