Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 307: Chapter 9: Eternal Life Vine

Continuing deeper into the dense forest, Lin Jing had been walking for nearly four hours,

finally arriving at the place where that aura originated.

At this moment, Lin Jing stood beside a giant tree hundreds of meters tall, looking ahead…

In the sky in front of him, two Demonic Beasts were engaged in battle.

One of them was the Golden Giant Eagle he had seen before, while the other was a Black Hawk roughly the same size as the eagle, with a body of pitch black.

The two Demonic Beasts were fighting fiercely in the air.

The shrill cries of the eagle and the mournful hoots of the hawk kept sounding…

Every time the giant eagle spread its wings and flapped, visible black hurricanes howled into existence, uprooting the massive trees hundreds of meters tall.

After dodging the hurricane, the Black Hawk released countless black feathers, like numerous sharp swords, which shot towards the Golden Giant Eagle.

In a short time, they pierced the eagle, leaving it with numerous wounds.

However, the eagle, far from being disheartened by its injuries, seemed to become even more enraged, creating more of those terrifying hurricanes as if its life depended on it.

In an instant, several hurricanes surrounded and trapped the Black Hawk.

Seeing the danger, the hawk quickly ascended, trying to evade the enclosing hurricanes.

Very quickly.

The hawk took flight, soaring up towards the clouds.

However, the Golden Giant Eagle followed closely behind, determined not to let it escape, and thus, the two Demonic Beasts disappeared into the clouds.

Perhaps because Lin Jing was too far away, the two Demonic Beasts did not notice him, nor did they detect the Divine Phoenix Aura emanating from him.

After the two Demonic Beasts had left, Lin Jing looked forward again, to see that the battlefield they had left behind was totally devastated.

Not one of the trees and rocks remained intact.

Lin Jing’s gaze continued into the distance, where he saw a lake, and at the center of the lake, an island.

What caught Lin Jing’s attention was the colorful light shield enveloping the island at the center of the lake.

The island quickly piqued Lin Jing’s interest, for there might be something valuable on it.

Lin Jing then decided to move closer and observe.

If there was no danger, he would find a way to make a trip to the island.

Afterward, Lin Jing set off and walked forward.

However, he had not gone far.

“Plop!”

A drop of liquid fell from the sky, landing on Lin Jing’s shoulder.

Then a strong smell of blood reached him, invading his nostrils. Touching his shoulder, Lin Jing felt something sticky.

Bringing his hand to his face to look, he realized that the drop on his shoulder was actually fresh blood.

Lin Jing then looked up towards the sky.

But the clouds obscured his vision, and he couldn’t see anything.

Just then, it seemed that an object was falling from the sky.

Lin Jing watched as the object descended and furrowed his brow slightly.

As the object drew closer to Lin Jing, he realized that it seemed to be a branch-like object falling towards his location.

Seeing where the branch was falling, Lin Jing moved a couple of steps and reached out his hand to steadily catch the falling branch.

Then.

Lin Jing brought the branch up to his face to take a closer look.

The branch-like object was entirely grey but didn’t entirely resemble a branch; it had a few tendrils here and there, more like a vine.

It was just a small segment of the whole.

Lin Jing flipped it over to observe the vine, noticing that the cut at the end of the vine was uneven, as if bitten by something. He guessed it must be the work of one of those two Demonic Beasts.

And from the mid-section break of the vine, a green liquid was oozing out. Lin Jing reached out to touch it and found the liquid to be slightly sticky…

Lin Jing then brought his hand close to his nose to smell, the liquid had a faint fragrance.

After careful observation, he felt the branch seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn’t quite recall where at the moment.

Just then, the sound of eagles screeching pierced the air once again, and that wild aura came from the sky above.

It was at that moment.

Suddenly, a piece of information from a book popped into Lin Jing’s mind.

Lin Jing looked down at the vine in his hands in disbelief, his face showing surprise.

Because.

He finally knew what he was holding…

The Eternal Life Vine.

The main ingredient for refining Lifespan Extension Pills, the Eternal Life Vine.

This was something he had come across in one of Elder Yu’s books.

The characteristics of the Eternal Life Vine described in the book were identical to the branch in front of him, overall gray, with roots…

Most importantly, the ink-green liquid and its fragrant smell made Lin Jing certain that this was the Eternal Life Vine.

However, before Lin Jing could store away the Eternal Life Vine,

two dots had already appeared in the sky.

Along with them, the sound of eagles screeching once more…

The two Demonic Beasts, radiating a terrifying aura, dived down directly from above, rushing toward where Lin Jing was.

It was clear that these two Demonic Beasts were coming to snatch the Eternal Life Vine.

Their battle was likely due to the same reason.

Lin Jing saw the ferocity of the two Demonic Beasts and knew they meant no good, it seemed that the aura emitted by the Divine Phoenix feather had no effect on them.

Just as Lin Jing was about to enter the System Space to avoid the two Demonic Beasts,

a sudden change occurred.

The two Demonic Beasts, in the midst of their dive, suddenly halted, then frantically flapped their wings to stabilize their posture.

By now, they were not too far from Lin Jing.

Concentrating Spiritual Power in his eyes, Lin Jing could clearly see the panic and disbelief in their eyes, as well as the unmistakable color of fear they couldn’t conceal.

It seemed that the might of the Divine Phoenix carried by the feather did have an effect on the beasts, after all; they just hadn’t felt it from a distance before.

Now that they were closer to Lin Jing, they had finally sensed it.

Seeing this, Lin Jing discarded the idea of retreating into the System Space.

Having obtained the Eternal Life Vine, these two Demonic Beasts certainly wouldn’t let him off easily.

If he entered the System Space, they would surely lie in wait for him here.

Lin Jing would rather use the Divine Phoenix feather to scare them away.

After halting their dive, the two Demonic Beasts quickly flew to one side, each landing on a tree, maintaining a certain distance from Lin Jing and vigilantly watching him.

Lin Jing responded with equal vigilance towards the two Demonic Beasts.

If the Demonic Beasts made any unusual moves, Lin Jing would enter the System Space immediately.

Although the two Demonic Beasts were somewhat restless, they all greedily gazed at the Eternal Life Vine in Lin Jing’s hands.

Then, when looking at Lin Jing again, their small eyes were filled with suspicion.

Clearly, these two Demonic Beasts had gained a certain level of intelligence. Although they were daunted by the aura emanating from Lin Jing and dared not make any rash moves, they were also well aware of Lin Jing’s level of Cultivation.

These two Demonic Beasts were not as easily deceived as other Demonic Beasts.
