Chapter 439 - Chapter 439: Chapter 137: I Treat Brother Lin as My Brother, But He Treats Me Like Hard Labor (1/2)
chapter 439: chapter 137: i treat brother lin as my brother, but he treats me like hard labor
after testing the new feature, lin jing was thoroughly satisfied.
then, he planted the moonflow pure heart fruit which he had won through alchemy competition with lin jue.
after planting the moonflow pure heart fruit, lin jing had one more thing to do.
he was already on the verge of a breakthrough before.
that day, when li qingqing asked lin jing, he suddenly had a realization.
it was during that realization that lin jing knew he could continue to break through to the ninth level of the golden core stage.
the best place to attempt a breakthrough in cultivation was inside the alchemy room.
because inside the alchemy room, one would receive a divine sense strength bonus, making the breakthrough easier.
lin jing went to the alchemy room, sat down cross-legged, then took out a pure elixir from his space ring and consumed it.
after taking the elixir medicine and feeling the surging spiritual power inside his body, he immediately began to condense the spiritual power…
…
…
it took twelve hours before lin jing had completely refined the spiritual power contained in the pure elixir.
at this point, lin jing’s state had already reached the limit of the eighth layer of the golden core stage, and it was time to start the assault on the ninth layer.
after that, lin jing circulated the immortal five elements technique, gathered the spiritual power within his body, and began the assault on the ninth layer of the golden core…
the first assault on the bottleneck of the ninth golden core layer had no effect whatsoever.
…
after the first assault, lin jing rested for a moment before gathering spiritual power once again for a second attempt…
the second assault provoked a slight reaction from the bottleneck of the ninth golden core layer.
…
seeing the second assault achieve some effect, lin jing didn’t wait too long and directly launched the third assault.
under the continuous assaults by lin jing, the bottleneck of the ninth golden core layer finally began to loosen.
following that, lin jing mustered his energy and carried out the fourth and fifth assaults…
……
eventually, after the fifth assault, the bottleneck obstructing lin jing’s breakthrough to the ninth golden core layer could no longer resist and was breached by him.
and so, lin jing entered the ninth level of the golden core stage.
upon reaching the ninth tier of the golden core stage, just one more step forward would take him across the chasm that separated the golden core realm from the nascent soul realm.
the breakthrough this time was quite smooth, and it didn’t take much effort.
after the breakthrough, lin jing meditated for a few more hours to stabilize his cultivation.
next.
lin jing continued his grand pursuit of alchemy…
……
in the following few days, lin jing spent nearly all his time within the system space.
during this period of alchemy, lin jing gained some more harvest points.
afterward…
he used these harvest points to accelerate the ripening of the moonflow pure heart fruit, then planted one of them in the high-grade spirit field of li yan island.
by doing so.
apart from the nirvana flower, all the important spirit plants needed to concoct the nirvana elixir were planted by lin jing in the spirit fields of flame island.
in lin jing’s system space, including the nirvana flower, all the other necessary spirit plants were now available.
he could concoct the nirvana elixir at any time.
as for the important fourth rank spirit plants in the spirit fields of flame island, they were always protected by formations.
apart from lin jing and a few others…
only yue qi and the golden core cultivator managing the spirit fields were aware of this.
as for everyone else, they had no idea whatsoever.
after all, these fourth rank spirit plants were exceedingly precious, so naturally, the fewer people who knew about them, the better.
and so it was, not until zhang jian’s arrival did lin jing come out from the system space again.
eager for the trading fair, zhang jian was visibly excited and couldn’t wait to speak to lin jing:
“brother lin…”
“let’s go now.”
lin jing nodded and replied:
“yes, let’s go…”
having said that, lin jing set off for xian yu island with zhang jian.
on the way, lin jing asked zhang jian:
“today, you seem especially excited. why is that?”
zhang jian responded:
“of course…”
“after i went back, i inquired a bit more, and there are quite a few people attending this trading fair. maybe i can trade for one or two of the spirit plants needed for the nirvana elixir.”
“we had agreed that once you gather all the spirit plants, i get one of the nirvana elixirs you concoct.”
lin jing was at a loss for words, thinking it was something important, only to realize it was about this…
with a slight twist of his mouth, lin jing said:
“don’t worry, you’ll have your share of the nirvana elixir…”
…
…
as the two neared xian yu island, they encountered many other cultivators with the same goal.
these cultivators, either flying with swords or steering flying boats, were heading toward xian yu island, and they were all at the golden core stage.
just as zhang jian had said, there indeed were quite a few people participating in this trading fair.
subsequently, the two joined the others and set foot on xian yu island together.
once on xian yu island, lin jing turned to ask zhang jian:
“where is the trading fair being held?”
zhang jian turned back and informed lin jing:
“with so many cultivators participating in the trading fair this time, the fair will be held at a mountaintop in the western part of xian yu island.”
lin jing nodded, then told zhang jian:
“now that we’re here on xian yu island, you lead the way…”
zhang jian laughed and replied:
“no problem…”
“after all, i’m somewhat of a host here.”
having said that, zhang jian took the lead and guided lin jing towards the western part of flame island.
as expected, it didn’t take long.
the two arrived at the mountaintop mentioned by zhang jian.
the mountaintop was as if cut horizontally by a sword, completely leveled, and a huge plaza had even been constructed upon it.
