Lin Jing did soâ¦
also because he himself was a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root, his upgrade speed was already slower.
If he consumed other elixir medicines, allowing pill poison to accumulate in his body, causing the effects of other elixirs to decline, then Lin Jing would have nowhere to cry.
It must be known, even with the use of Pure Accumulation Elixirs, one cannot completely eliminate the pill poison accumulated in the body.
The most important thing was that Lin Jing had the conditions to do so.
He was now a Third Rank Alchemist, with a 20% chance of producing Pure Elixir Medicines when refining Second Rank elixirs.
This chance was already not low.
Basically, if lucky, he could roughly produce one Pure Elixir every day.
If others knew that his Pure Elixir Medicine refinement rate was so high, theyâd probably have captured him and studied him carefully long ago.
After swallowing the elixir, Lin Jing mobilized the spiritual power within his body, and then began to meditate with eyes closed.
And so, time slowly passed.
Before long, Lin Jing could feel the barrier that prevented his breakthrough.
Then, Lin Jing operated his spiritual power, aiming it at that bottleneck.
Once, twice, thriceâ¦
Lin Jing struck against it time and time again, but after numerous continuous attempts, the bottleneck showed not the slightest sign of looseningâ¦
Lin Jing then opened his eyes and took out a Pure Gathering Yuan Pill from his Storage Bag to swallow.
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it transformed into a warm current that flowed down his throat into the Dantian in his lower abdomen.
Then, Lin Jing only felt a âboomâ, as an enormous amount of spiritual power burst forth inside his body in an instantâ¦
Lin Jing hurriedly closed his eyes and operated his cultivation technique to absorb that spiritual power.
Another hour went by, and this time, the spiritual power inside Lin Jingâs body surged,
Then, with complete confidence, he operated his cultivation technique, charging at that bottleneck once more.
Onceâ¦
Twiceâ¦
Thriceâ¦
With the bottleneck that had been hindering Lin Jing slowly cracking and then shatteringâ¦
Lin Jing finally succeeded, breaking through to the Second Layer of Foundation Establishment.
Afterward, the system prompt finally came belatedly:
âSystem prompt: Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through the realm, reward obtained: 20 Harvest Points.â
Having finally succeeded in breaking through, Lin Jing took a long breath.
Then, operating his cultivation technique, he felt the spiritual power in his meridians had grown much stronger compared to before.
After feeling the change, Lin Jing then spoke up, summoning the system interface.
Soon, a system interface appeared before Lin Jing.
System Space (Level 3) (Upgradeable)
Remaining Time: 162 hours (Accumulatable: 300 hours)
Host: Lin Jing
Spirit Field Range: 30 mu
Spiritual Energy Concentration: 3
Time Flow Speed: 3
Daily Entry Time: 6 hours
Upgrade Requirement: (2000/2000 Harvest Points)
Special Functions: Alert, Observe, Time Accumulation, Four Seasons, Environmental Landscape, Spirit Plant Restoration, Additive Possession.
Now, he could basically gain around two hundred Harvest Points every month from alchemy.
Now, alchemy had become his main source of Harvest Points.
Relying on mature Spirit Plants to gain Harvest Points was simply too slow.
During this time, Lin Jing had been ceaselessly conducting alchemy, and the Harvest Points he obtained were truly not fewâ¦
Plus, the twenty Harvest Points rewarded for his breakthrough just now.
It was exactly enough to gather two thousand Harvest Points, and the system could now be upgraded.
After that, without any hesitation, Lin Jing chose to upgrade the System Space.
After Lin Jing selected to upgrade the System Space, he was transported out.
This timeâ¦
It was uncertain how long the System Space would take to upgrade.
Next, with no way to enter the System Space, Lin Jing had nothing else to do.
Although he could continue to meditate and cultivateâ¦
But after experiencing the rich spiritual energy within the System Space, the great disparity of cultivating outside made it difficult for him to settle downâ¦
Of course,
the main reason was stillâ¦
that Lin Jing now was not short on time.
Plus, he had just broken through recentlyâ¦
So, Lin Jing wanted to take some time to relax.
Afterward, Lin Jing headed to the courtyard to ponder for a moment before making a decision.
Since there was nothing to do at the moment, he might as well go look for Huang Qingling.
Then, just like last time, he let Little Sparrow call over Li Tangyu and his sister.
Finallyâ¦
he would get Li Tangyu drunk again.
See if he could, from that âdrunkardâs babblingâ, coax out some useful information againâ¦
Thinking this, Lin Jing then set out.
Lin Jingâs small courtyard was very close to the one where Huang Qingling lived.
He didnât walk many steps out the door before he arrived at the entrance of Huang Qinglingâs courtyard.
Afterward, Lin Jing stepped forwardâ¦
âKnock, knock, knockâ
He knocked on the courtyard gate.
âIs Daoist Qingling at home?â Lin Jing called out.
No sooner had Lin Jingâs voice fallen than there was movement inside.
However, it wasnât Huang Qingling, but Little Sparrowâ¦
Next, Lin Jing heard a voice down from the sky,
then, he lifted his headâ¦
and saw Little Sparrow flying out of the courtyard.
Following that, Little Sparrow fluttered its wings and landed directly on Lin Jingâs shoulder.
âYuebaolou, Yuebaolouâ¦â
The voice came from beside his own ear.
Lin Jing looked at Little Sparrow in surprise,
âLittle Sparrow, you can talkâ¦â
Lin Jing said to the little bird.
He remembered that Little Sparrow could only say the words ârobberyâ before, but now it could articulate the three words âYuebaolouâ as well.
It seemedâ¦
Huang Qingling probably hadnât neglected teaching it.
Little Sparrow then lifted its head with a look of pride.
âLittle Sparrow, are you saying that Daoist Qingling has gone to Yuebaolou?â Lin Jing continued to ask.
After hearing this, Little Sparrow nodded.
âThen do you know when Daoist Qingling leftâ¦â Lin Jing began to ask but suddenly stopped and shook his head, chuckling to himselfâ¦
âThis Little Sparrow, no matter how clever, is just a Demonic Beast, how could it possibly understand so much, and even if it really knew, it couldnât express itâ¦â
Howeverâ¦
What Little Sparrow did next took Lin Jing by surprise.
Little Sparrow tilted its head in thought for a while, then opened its mouth and called out:
âVery longâ¦â
Lin Jingâs eyes brightened as he turned to Little Sparrow and spoke:
âLittle Sparrow, do you mean to say that Daoist Qingling has been gone for a very long time?â
âVery long, very longâ¦â Little Sparrow flapped its wings and nodded incessantly.
This intelligence of Little Sparrow truly made Lin Jing take another look.
âSince you can understand that, what about something a bit more difficult?â Lin Jingâs curiosity was piquedâ¦
Then, he asked Little Sparrow once more:
âLittle Sparrowâ¦â
As Lin Jingâs voice trailed off, Little Sparrow quieted down, tilting its head, it refocused on Lin Jing.
âDo you know what Daoist Qingling went to do at Yuebaolou?â
This question, Lin Jing reckoned, might pose quite a challenge for Little Sparrow.
After speaking, Lin Jing stared at Little Sparrow, waiting for its response.
Indeedâ¦
The question had indeed stumped Little Sparrowâ¦
Little Sparrow tilted its head and started to thinkâ¦
This timeâs thinking took much longer than before.
After a long whileâ¦
Little Sparrow finally lifted its head again, looking at Lin Jing, and blurted out two words:
âFind Whiteâ¦â
