Chapter 34 - Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Breakthrough Failure (2/2)

Lin Jing knew that today was the memorial day for Luo Luo’s father, and they were heading up the mountain outside the Fang Market to pay their respects.

Although Demonic Beasts were present outside the Fang Market, with both Wei Zhengqing and Ning Yue being at the Late Stage Qi Refining, there shouldn’t be any problems.

Even if he came across Demonic Beasts he couldn’t defeat, escaping was still not a problem.

As for Ning Yue, she still, as always, hid her true appearance, which made Lin Jing, who had seen her real face, somewhat unaccustomed.

Such an unparalleled beauty, yet forced to disguise herself every day, afraid to display her looks in front of others.

It showed the chaos of the Cultivation World.

Lin Jing was also alerted by this, realizing he must keep the fact that he could craft Pure Elixirs a secret from others.

If by accident someone discovered his high success rate in crafting Pure Elixirs, what awaited him would likely not be admiration, but captivity.

Then, he would become another’s tool for Alchemy.

If he were even more careless and people found out about the System, the consequence, he need not think about it, was outright destruction.

In the room, Lin Jing was meditating and cultivating, condensing his Divine Sense.

Although Spiritual Energy was scarce here, it did not affect the cultivation of Divine Sense; there was no need for Lin Jing to enter the System Space to cultivate.

And so he continued, until night fell.

Lin Jing still seemingly unaware, was engrossed in his cultivation.

Suddenly, the system alert sounded.

“Warning! Someone has breached the perimeter. Host, please respond in time.”

Lin Jing, who was meditating, instantly opened his eyes, sensing that two people had climbed over the wall and into his yard.

The perimeter he had set was based on the entire yard; as soon as any strangers broke into the yard, the system would sound an alert to notify Lin Jing.

“Enter System Space.”

Lin Jing’s first reaction was to duck into the safety of the System Space.

Putting aside the intentions of the two individuals in the yard, with Lin Jing’s current level of cultivation, no matter who it was, he feared he would not be a match for them.

Therefore, ensuring his own safety was of utmost importance.

Besides, sneaking into someone else’s yard by climbing the wall late at night, could it ever be for a good reason? “System.”

“Activate Observation Mode.”

After taking refuge in the System Space, Lin Jing immediately activated Observation Mode, wanting to see who had suddenly broken into his home at this hour.

Just as Lin Jing entered the System Space, the two people in the yard were taken aback and stood still.

Zhang Lin was the first to speak:

“Big brother, what’s going on?”

“Just now I could still sense his presence, how did it suddenly disappear?”

“Could I have sensed it wrong? We’ve been watching all day, and he definitely hasn’t left the house.”

Zhang Sen stared intently at the house. No lights were on inside, it was pitch black. Moments before, just like Zhanz Lin, he had also felt Lin Jing’s presence suddenly vanish.

Then, he stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Lin, who was about to move forward, and whispered:

“Be careful, something’s off.”

Under Observation Mode, even though the two had taken some basic precautions to conceal themselves, Lin Jing could still make out their appearances.

“It’s actually those two, what are they trying to do?”

Lin Jing’s brows furrowed tightly, and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

He didn’t recall offending them, and he had even helped them previously, paying off their debts.

And yet, in the blink of an eye, they had snuck into his home.

It seemed, one really couldn’t be too trusting of others.

Lin Jing kept his eyes fixed on the two, pondering. He still had one Five Thunder Talisman, but facing both of them at once, he probably wouldn’t succeed.

The two, due to Lin Jing’s sudden disappearance, were now very cautious, constantly on the alert.

If Lin Jing were to suddenly appear, chances were they would become even more vigilant, and even if he threw the Five Thunder Talisman…

With their current level of caution, it probably wouldn’t have much of an effect.

“Could it be that I need to use Fixed Point Teleportation again?
