chapter 433: chapter 133 the trade fair on xian yu island
lin jing nodded, and then asked yue qi’s mother again,
“by the way, qi mother…”
“how are the spirit fields on the island now?”
yue qi’s mother said,
“island master, after your last instruction, our island’s spirit fields have also expanded quite a bit.”
“now, practically all the places that could be cultivated into spirit fields have been done so. if we want to continue expanding the spirit fields, we can only consider taking over other islands.”
lin jing spoke,
“taking over other islands to expand, huh?”
yue qi’s mother nodded and said,
“yes…”
“and also, last time, with the help from friend zhang, we set up that spirit gathering array, i think it also needs to be upgraded…”
“there are too many spirit plants in the spirit fields now, and the spiritual energy provided by that spirit gathering array seems to be insufficient.”
“otherwise, we’ll have to grow fewer spirit plants.”
“a shortage of spiritual energy…” lin jing frowned, muttering to himself.
after finishing, lin jing nodded and said,
“alright, i understand…”
“by the way…”
“how about the spirit fields on zhang jian’s yuxing island?”
lin jing asked once more.
yue qi’s mother replied,
“friend zhang’s occupied yuxing island has a bit more spirit fields than we do.”
“the high-grade spiritual plants they have planted in those spirit fields are not yet mature, but they have already sold us some of the lower-grade ones.”
initially, lin jing had said he would help zhang jian take over yuxing island, and not long after, they had taken it over.
it must be said that zhang jian gained quite a benefit from that woman in white.
if it weren’t for zhang jian’s cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds, breaking through to the mid-stage of golden core so quickly, it would have taken them several more years to occupy yuxing island.
even though, in the process of this breakthrough, zhang jian was in pain yet delighted…
……
subsequently, lin jing said to yue qi’s mother,
“qi mother, let’s go take a look at the spirit fields…”
yue qi’s mother said,
“sure, island master…”
however, just as the two were about to leave, lin jing suddenly spoke up,
“it seems, we don’t need to go to the spirit fields for the time being…”
yue qi’s mother looked at lin jing with confusion, not understanding why he would suddenly say that.
lin jing simply smiled and said,
“we have guests coming…”
……
having said that, lin jing looked up, gazing towards the distant horizon.
yue qi’s mother also followed the direction of lin jing’s gaze and looked up towards the distance.
indeed…
it didn’t take long for them to see a figure at the edge of the sky, flying towards them on a sword.
as it drew nearer, yue qi’s mother could see clearly.
this person was none other than zhang jian.
seeing lin jing and yue qi’s mother there, zhang jian flew directly towards the city lord’s mansion.
afterward, he descended.
having landed from the sky, zhang jian approached them and said,
“brother lin, cultivator yue…”
“long time no see!”
lin jing replied with a smile,
“brother zhang…”
“what brings you here today?”
having said that, he sized up zhang jian and said,
“not bad, your cultivation has improved quickly, hasn’t it? how long has it been? you’ve already advanced to the seventh layer of golden core.”
“i must say, your luck is truly enviable…”
in contrast, upon hearing lin jing’s words, zhang jian stunned for a moment, then his face turned to one of bitter misery.
then he said, still with a pained expression,
“brother lin…”
“if you really can’t speak properly, then say less, and i’ll suffer less…”
“you know full well the pain i’ve been through.”
“thinking about that time now, i feel like slapping myself twice.”
“why did i have to be so mouthy and insist on pushing forward?”
zhang jian’s suffering was something lin jing was all too aware of.
once, during a breakthrough, zhang jian did it on li yan island.
at that time, zhang jian’s painful screams were so intense that little sparrow heard them, its feathers instantly puffing up, and it flew away in fright, not daring to come back.
it circled outside li yan island for a whole night, only daring to return after zhang jian had completed his breakthrough.
lin jing then continued,
“brother zhang…”
“that frostbone erosion…”
lin jing had just begun speaking when he was immediately interrupted by zhang jian.
zhang jian shivered and said,
“don’t… don’t…”
“don’t mention those words, i’m superstitious about them now…”
lin jing’s face immediately was drawn tight…
however, seeing zhang jian hugging his arms and trembling lips, he came to understand.
obviously, zhang jian was not lying.
he was indeed extremely sensitive to those words.
so lin jing changed his approach and asked again,
“then, brother zhang…”
“how many antidotes does she have left for you?”
hearing lin jing’s question, zhang jian frowned deeply and said,
“only the last one is left…”
“but i still have to endure three more agonies before advancing to the golden core peak.”
“moreover, these three agonies are increasingly severe, and i don’t know how i’m going to survive them…”
“if i had known this would happen, i would have held back more before and wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.”
in the face of zhang jian’s predicament, lin jing was also at a loss.
after all, the antidote given by the woman in white was only three pills; once finished, there would be none left.
moreover, they didn’t have the formula for the antidote in their hands, so even if they wanted to concoct it themselves, it was impossible.”
at this point, zhang jian sighed and said,
