Lin Jingshen took a deep breath, the air filled with a fresh scent as if he truly was in the midst of the forests.
Then, Lin Jing continued to speak,
“System, check the current status of the Staying Youthful Fruit Tree.”
As Lin Jing’s voice fell, the information of the Staying Youthful Fruit Tree appeared.
“Staying Youthful Fruit Tree: Current environment matched, rapid growth in progress, time remaining until maturation: 9 years and 312 days.”
After matching its environment, the growth speed of the Staying Youthful Fruit Tree had tripled. Previously, it needed 30 years to mature, but now it only required 10 years.
Indeed, it was much faster than before.
However…
Ten years was still not a short period, even with the time acceleration in the System Space, it would still take over three years to mature.
Three years, to ordinary people, might seem long, but for cultivators, it was relatively brief.
“Only three years, it’s nothing. Just wait,” Lin Jing murmured to himself as he looked at the sapling of the Staying Youthful Fruit Tree.
The only regret was that once this No. 1 Spirit Field had its environment changed, it could no longer be used to cultivate other spirit plants.
Lin Jing could only plan to find other spirit plants suitable for deep forest environments to plant in the future.
Having dealt with the Staying Youthful Fruit Tree, Lin Jing then spoke again,
“Open the system panel.”
Following that, the system panel appeared.
System Space (Level 3)
Remaining Time: 12 hours (Accumulatable: 300 hours)
Host: Lin Jing
Spirit Field Range: 30 mu
Spiritual Energy Density: 3 Time Flow Rate: 3
Daily Entry Time: 6 hours
Required for Upgrade: (446/2000 Harvest Points)
Special Functions: Alert, Observe, Time Accumulation, Four Seasons, Environmental Terrain.
These past two months, besides the increase in Harvest Points, the most significant change was in the accumulated time.
Previously, to quickly assimilate the Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon, he had spent most of his time inside the System Space every day.
Moreover, with alchemy still to do, this had led to almost all of his previously accumulated System Space entry time being used up.
Then, Lin Jing reached out his hand to tap on the system panel, at the column with his name, to check his personal information.
Lin Jing (25/95)
Spiritual Root: Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root (Low Grade)

Cultivation Techniques: Qingyuan Dao Method (Third Layer), Qingyuan Sword
Control Technique (Proficient), Controlling Fire Technique (Major
Achievement)
Sub-Occupation: Second-Grade Alchemist (8553/10000)
Ever since assimilating the Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon, Lin
Jing had not deliberately suppressed his cultivation level but continued taking Pure Energy Gathering Pills to increase his cultivation.
Indeed, within two months, he had already advanced to the late stages of Qi Refining.
Of course…
After his cultivation level increased, he had been using the Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon to hide his true power, always maintaining the appearance of being at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining.
Thus, to outsiders, he still seemed to be a minor cultivator at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining.
In this way, he would not attract other people’s attention.
Besides that, what had improved the most was naturally his proficiency in alchemy.
Constant alchemy had his skills improving rapidly, and now the proficiency had soared to over 8000.
If this went on, within two months, Lin Jing would be able to become a Third -Grade Alchemist.
It was also time for him to think about getting some Third Rank Spirit Grass.
Because the Third Rank Spirit Grass needed to refine Third Rank elixirs was different from the lower rank Spirit Grass used for First and Second Rank elixirs.
The low-ranking Spirit Grass necessary for First and Second Rank elixirs could be cultivated; as long as there was sufficient Spiritual Energy, one could open up a Spirit Field to plant them.
Many small families lived by cultivating low-rank Spirit Grass.
This was why these Spirit Plants could easily be bought in the Fang Market.
Of course, some even smaller families, with lesser power, could only occupy areas with sparser Spiritual Energy as their family bases.
And their Spirit Fields, with even thinner Spiritual Energy, made cultivating even low-rank Spirit Grass quite difficult. Such families could only grow Spirit Rice.
The reason why so many sects and families were gathered here at Nanshan
Market was that, compared to other places, this area had richer Spiritual Energy,
and it was near the Night Mist Mountain Range, which was rich in resources. Even if they didn’t plant Spirit Plants, they could collect them in the mountains or hunt Demonic Beasts.
Though it was more dangerous, if one were lucky with their harvest, the rewards could be significant.
However, Third Rank Spirit Grass was different; the most important point was that Third Rank Spirit Plants couldn’t be cultivated.
Because Third Rank Spirit Plants required copious amounts of Spiritual Energy, the Spiritual Energy in most places simply didn’t meet the needs for planting them.
Furthermore, many Third Rank Spirit Plants had special environmental requirements; even if the Spiritual Energy were sufficient, transplanting them into Spirit Fields could very quickly result in their death.
It was because of these reasons that Third Rank Spirit Grass was incredibly scarce in the Fang Market, obtainable only by venturing deep into uninhabited mountains or forbidden secret realms.
Even the seeds of Third Rank Spirit Plants were exceedingly rare in the market for this reason.
So if Lin Jing wanted to refine Third Rank elixirs to become a Third-Grade Pill Master, he still needed to find a way to acquire Third Rank Spirit Plants first.
In fact, Lin Jing faced an even bigger problem.
That was his cultivation technique.
Previously, at Qingyuan Sword Sect, Lin Jing had only received the first three levels of the Qingyuan Dao Method; these three levels of the cultivation technique could support his practice up to the peak of Qi Refinement.
Once he entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would have no cultivation technique to practice.
So now, he had to think of ways to obtain a new cultivation technique.
The good news was that he currently had plenty of Spirit Stones. In this period of selling elixirs, he had made tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
If he wanted to exchange for a Foundation Establishment cultivation technique, he already had more than enough.
However, Lin Jing had not yet made the exchange. He wanted to earn more Spirit Stones to see if he could exchange them for a cultivation technique that could carry him through to the Golden Core Stage,
It would be too troublesome to keep switching cultivation techniques otherwise. And when switching, there was even the risk of damaging his cultivation.
Thus, he had to continue refining some Pure Elixirs.
He believed it wouldn’t be long before he saved enough Spirit Stones to purchase a cultivation technique.
After processing the harvested Spirit Plants, Lin Jing took the usable parts of the herbs and stored them in his Storage Bag.
Then, Lin Jing left the System Space.
With the advancement of his cultivation, Lin Jing’s speed in handling Spirit Plants had also significantly increased.
After dealing with the Spirit Plants and leaving the System Space, it was still early; it wasn’t even Zi Time yet.
Lin Jing then tidied up a bit and went out.
He had another trip to the black market tonight.
After leaving the Inner Fang Market, Lin Jing activated his Spiritual Power and stimulated the Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon.
In an instant, Lin Jing’s appearance began to change.
In just a short while, the transformation was complete; a somewhat slender young man appeared.
And it didn’t stop there; even his presence had changed, becoming somewhat gloomy.
This was very different from his usual self, so much so that even Elder Yu or Huang Qingling, if here, probably wouldn’t recognize him.
Soon, Lin Jing arrived at a secluded Teleportation Array in the outer Fang Market and entered the black market.
