Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 277: Chapter 259: Lin Family’s Pill Dao

Senior Han was about to get up…

Lin Jing saw that even standing up was extremely difficult for Senior Han.

He hastily placed the secret box on the table and, together with Chen Xing, helped him up.

Then, under Lin Jing’s lead…

The two of them helped Senior Han into Lin Jing’s bedroom.

Even then, Lin Jing also took a few pieces of warm jade and thoughtfully placed them beside Senior Han.

It wasn’t until Senior Han sat cross-legged and swallowed a Pure Body Restoration Pill that he began to recover.

Only then did Lin Jing and Chen Xing quietly leave the room.

After stepping out, both returned to the living room.

At this time, Chen Xing had visibly relaxed a great deal.

He quickly said to Lin Jing,

“I really owe it to you, Junior Brother Lin. If not for your Pure Body Restoration Pill, the consequences would have been unthinkable.”

After speaking, Chen Xing bowed to Lin Jing:

“Junior Brother Lin, I thank you for this.”

“Brother Chen, there’s no need for this…”

Lin Jing quickly stepped forward and helped Chen Xing up.

“Initially, if not for Senior Han, I wouldn’t have been able to safely descend the mountain, and would have been targeted long ago.”

“There’s also what Senior Han gifted me; without those, I would have had a hundred or even a thousand times harder time surviving in the Fang Market…”

Back then, it was only because Lin Jing had been given those 500 Spirit Stones by Han Jing that he dared to invest heavily in alchemy…

Without those Spirit Stones, Lin Jing might have given up on alchemy after failing for a while and looked for other ways out.

Although he had the System Space and his life wasn’t miserable, it definitely wouldn’t have been as good as it was now.

He might still be mingling elsewhere, being a minor Spirit Farmer, relying on harvesting Spirit Plants, slowly accumulating Harvest Points, and upgrading his space…

No sooner had Lin Jing finished speaking than Chen Xing immediately added,

“Speaking of back then, Junior Brother Lin…”

“After Senior Han brought you down the mountain, he didn’t interfere or inquire further, and I hope you don’t hold that against Senior Han…”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing frowned slightly:

“Brother Chen, why would you say that? Senior Han has been so kind to me, how could I possibly bear any grudge?”

“As an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingyuan Sword Sect, Senior Han must also have many sect duties to attend to.”

“I naturally understand this.”

Chen Xing then explained:

“Actually, the reason Senior Han did so was because he simply couldn’t spare the time.”

“He’s been busy fulfilling your father Lin Yue’s dying wish, trying to retrieve the Lin Family’s heritage secret box from one of your father’s enemies.”

“The very one he just handed to you…”

Upon hearing Chen Xing’s words, Lin Jing looked at the purple secret box on the table beside him.

Then, Chen Xing continued to speak:

“This secret box is your Lin Family’s heritage secret box. It can only be opened with your blood.”

“Heritage secret box?” Lin Jing looked at the purple secret box in front of him, puzzled.

“Exactly, don’t believe me? Look at the pattern,” Chen Xing spoke.

After hearing Chen Xing’s words, Lin Jing picked up the strange purple secret box and started to examine it.

Especially the pattern on it. It wasn’t until he observed it closely that Lin Jing realized…

From the design on this secret box, he could vaguely see the character ‘Lin’.

But this ‘Lin’ character was almost perfectly integrated into the design, making it hard to distinguish without close inspection.

“Brother Chen, if this secret box belongs to our Lin Family, why have I never seen it before?”

Gazing at the secret box, Lin Jing couldn’t help but wonder.

Did his original identity have some secret background?

Because, in the memories Lin Jingzhi had prior to this,

his father Lin Yue seemed to be just a Spirit Farmer of Qingyuan Sword Sect, with not much of a secret to speak of.

But ever since Steward Li targeted him, and since Senior Han’s arrival, Lin Jingzhi had heard other tales from Senior Han’s mouth.

Yet, all these put together,

still couldn’t explain the origin of this heritage secret box.

Even though Lin Jingzhi had never seen it before, he knew the box wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

It wasn’t something an ordinary person could possess.

Chen Xing then continued to explain,

“This secret box was lost by your father a long time ago when you were still very young, so naturally you don’t remember it.”

“However, I was about your age at that time, and all this was told to me by Senior Han.”

“Junior Brother Lin, wouldn’t you like to open it and see…”

“Inside, there might be the Lin Family’s heritage cultivation techniques…”

Chen Xing looked at the secret box with interest; it seemed he was also quite curious about it.

After speaking, Chen Xing suddenly remembered his identity and felt that his words were somewhat inappropriate.

So he added,

“Let’s wait until Senior Han has completely healed before we open it…”

Lin Jing immediately understood what Chen Xing was thinking and then thought to himself:

“This secret box was brought here by both Senior Han and Chen Xing. There is no need to be so wary around them.”

“If they wanted to misappropriate it, they would have simply hidden this matter and not told me about it.”

“Even Senior Han could have just made up a pretext, and I would have willingly given him some of my blood, enabling them to open this box themselves.”

“Why would they specifically bring it to me then?”

“Moreover, Chen Xing and Senior Han are on very good terms; they hardly seem like cold-hearted individuals…”

Therefore, Lin Jing quickly said,

“No need…”

“Do I just need to drip blood onto it?”

Lin Jing looked up and asked Chen Xing again.

“Hmm…”

Chen Xing nodded.

Lin Jing then gathered his spiritual power to form a tiny blade of spiritual power and, with a thought, the blade swiftly cut across his finger.

Immediately following this, a deep red color began to seep out…

Lin Jing extended his hand downward, and the blood began to flow down, dripping onto the secret box.

As more blood dripped down, the blood seemed to be drawn by something, spreading along the pattern on the top of the box.

And quickly, the entire pattern turned red.

At that moment, a burst of purple light exploded forth.

Gradually, the purple light grew brighter, making it difficult to keep one’s eyes open.

Suddenly.

A series of “click, clack” sounds came from the box.

Following these sounds, the purple light also slowly retracted.

Finally, it completely disappeared.

Lin Jing and Chen Xing then looked over.

At this point, the appearance of the secret box looked no different from before.

Lin Jing reached out, just about to pick it up, when the lid of the box was moved slightly ajar.

Lin Jing immediately lifted the lid, and the contents inside the box were revealed to both of them.

Inside the box, there was a purple jade slip.

Lin Jing then picked up the jade slip to see several golden characters inscribed on it—Lin Family’s Pill Dao.

Chen Xing was also quite curious, peering over to read the inscription.

He then showed a look of disappointment.

“I thought it would be some cultivation manual or something. It turns out to be just a pill scripture.”

Then, Chen Xing smiled and said to Lin Jing,

“Junior Brother Lin, this pill scripture is indeed a good fit for you, especially since you are a Pill Master yourself.”

“Indeed…” Lin Jing nodded.

Upon discovering it was a Pill Scripture, Lin Jing did not immediately examine it but instead put it away again.

Seeing Lin Jing storing the jade slip Pill Scripture, Chen Xing asked in confusion,

“Junior Brother Lin, aren’t you going to take a look?”

Lin Jing replied,

“Currently, Senior Han is still healing, and it’s not quite the right time to delve into this Pill Scripture. Let’s wait till Senior Han has completely healed.”

“That’s probably best…” Chen Xing nodded his head.

After storing the Pill Scripture, Lin Jing and Chen Xing changed the subject and continued chatting…
