Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 571: Chapter 237: Return to Nanshan Immortal City, The Mirror of Illusion Shattering_2

As Lin Jing approached, perhaps due to sensing the presence of Lin Jing and his companions,

a white-robed youth quickly emerged from within the city.

And,

this white-robed youth was also a Golden Core Cultivator.

As the youth came out, he directly looked towards Lin Jing and the others, then quickly walked over to them.

Arriving before Lin Jing and his companions, the white-robed youth first gave a fist-and-palm salute, then spoke.

...

“It seems I’ve never seen you fellows before. Is this your first time in Nanshan Immortal City?”@@novelbin@@

With that, he turned his gaze to Lin Jing, examining him carefully.

It was clear that among the group before him, Lin Jing was the leader, so naturally, he began by questioning Lin Jing.

Lin Jing then spoke:

“In a sense, yes and no. I once stayed here for a while, but later left due to certain circumstances. This might be considered my first return since the reconstruction.”

“Turns out you are fellow cultivators from the Nanming Domain, my apologies…” said the white-robed youth.

After finishing, he continued:

“Since this is your first time here, we need to verify identities before entering the city. I hope you cultivators won’t mind.”

After saying this, the white-robed youth went on to explain to Lin Jing and the others:

“Although we have driven off the Howling Sky Wolf Clan, there might still be some that eluded capture and are hiding in the dense forests and mountains.”

“These stragglers are very unruly, often disguising themselves to sneak into the city and cause trouble.”

“To prevent these stragglers from causing chaos in our city, even Golden Core Immortals like yourselves must verify your identities before entering.”

After hearing this, Lin Jing pondered for a moment and then nodded, saying:

“Understood.”

“How should we go about verifying our identities?”

“Please follow me, fellow cultivators…” said the white-robed youth as he led them into the city.

Passing through the city gate, and under the guidance of the white-robed youth, they entered a courtyard.

The courtyard was not large, housing only a single room, and as they entered, they were greeted by a massive silver mirror-like Magical Treasure.

On either side of this Magical Treasure stood two Golden Core Cultivators.

The white-robed youth then spoke, introducing the item to Lin Jing and his companions:

“This Magical Treasure is known as the Breaking Delusion Mirror, capable of breaking through all disguises. Any Demon Cultivator attempting to infiltrate Nanshan Immortal City will not escape the scrutiny of this mirror.”

“Please wait a moment, as long as you pass the inspection of the Breaking Delusion Mirror, you will be free to enter the city.”

Lin Jing, upon hearing this, immediately examined the Breaking Delusion Mirror with great interest.

This mirror, of unknown material, was entirely silver, and its grade had surpassed that of a Magical Treasure; it was a Low Grade Dao Tool.

Looking at the Breaking Delusion Mirror, Lin Jing contemplated and then turned to ask the white-robed youth:

“Can this Breaking Delusion Mirror truly thwart any disguise?”

“Does it have the ability to break through the disguises of cultivators?”

The white-robed youth nodded and responded:

“Naturally, it can.”

“The Breaking Delusion Mirror is a Dao Tool-level Magical Treasure. It can break through the disguises of not just Golden Core Cultivators, but even Divine Transformation Cultivators.”

Lin Jing nodded at these words…

Then,

Lin Jing directly said to the white-robed youth:

“We are ready, you can start now.”

Although he said this, Lin Jing did not reveal his true cultivation level, but continued to channel the Changyun Hidden Technique, keeping his cultivation disguised at the Golden Core Stage.

He wanted to see for himself just how formidable the Breaking Delusion Mirror truly was.

The others too, after giving Lin Jing a look, turned their heads away without saying anything.

Clearly, they understood Lin Jing’s intent.

“Very well…”

“If you would wait just a moment, fellow cultivators…”

After the white-robed youth had finished speaking, he went before the Breaking Delusion Mirror to speak with one of the cultivators there.

Once he had delivered his instructions, the cultivators on either side of the mirror began to act.

Both of them formed hand seals, sketching peculiar runes in mid-air, which slowly, were drawn into the Breaking Delusion Mirror.

As the runes merged into it, the Breaking Delusion Mirror emitted a beam of light, shining directly onto Lin Jing and his companions.

When the light from the mirror illuminated Lin Jing, the Spiritual Power within him instantly began to churn uncontrollably, trying to circulate on its own.

But,

the Changyun Hidden Technique was in operation within Lin Jing’s body, and just as the Spiritual Power began to surge, it was suppressed.

And that wasn’t all.

Under the illumination of the Breaking Delusion Mirror, the Changyun Hidden Technique began to operate more quickly, suppressing Lin Jing’s internal Spiritual Power while also allocating a portion of its energy to resist the beam emitted by the mirror.

Under the light of the Breaking Delusion Mirror, the cultivation levels of several individuals were immediately revealed, including Lin Jing’s disguised cultivation level.

Everything seemed incredibly normal.

A moment later.

The two cultivators once again formed hand seals, and the beam of light emitted from the Breaking Delusion Mirror was subsequently withdrawn.

Under the illumination of the Breaking Delusion Mirror, there was no anomaly with Lin Jing and the others.

Clearly, there were no issues with Lin Jing and his companions.

Afterwards, the white-robed young man apologized to them again and then escorted them out of the courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, Lin Jing and his group parted ways with the white-robed young man.

It wasn’t until then that Lin Jue spoke up:

“That so-called Breaking Delusion Mirror, they made it sound so grand…”

“It still couldn’t detect the cultivation you were hiding, brother.”

Lin Jing looked at Lin Jue and then replied:

“You can’t quite put it that way. The Changyun Hidden Technique we practice is a secret concealment technique passed down for countless years by the Changyun family.

“It’s not something that can be easily exposed by the artifact like the Breaking Delusion Mirror.

“Otherwise, the Changyun family would have probably been exterminated long ago.”

After hearing this, Lin Jue nodded and said:

“Now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case…”

Just then, Wei Zhengqing spoke up:

“Brother Lin…”

“I once had a friend who was in Nanshan Immortal City. I’m not sure if he’s still here. I’d like to go and check on him first and then I’ll come to find you at the Li Family after my visit.”

Lin Jing nodded and responded:

“Okay…”

“Then you go ahead.”

After that, Wei Zhengqing, Yan Xiong, and the other three said their goodbyes to Lin Jing and his companions and left.

After they had gone, Lin Jing continued toward the old residence of the Li Family, accompanied by Lin Jue, Ye Yun, and Little Sparrow.

Although the entire Nanshan Immortal City had been rebuilt and transformed significantly, the location of the Li Family’s place remained unchanged, and so, naturally, Lin Jing did not lose his way.

In this manner, Lin Jing, along with Lin Jue and Ye Yun, walked through the streets of Nanshan Immortal City.

The current Nanshan Immortal City no longer had a distinction between the inner and outer cities—they had all merged into one.

And those lower-ranking cultivators who previously had only been able to reside in the outskirts had moved to several Fang Markets around Nanshan Immortal City.

As Lin Jing walked the streets of Nanshan Immortal City, he looked around at the new city, which had undergone substantial changes and was no longer the Nanshan Immortal City he knew.

However.

When Lin Jing reached the center of the city…

He once again saw a familiar sign.

Yuebaolou.

Yuebaolou appeared even more magnificent than before, its floors had increased from the former seven to now nine.

Lin Jing peered inside; Yuebaolou was as before, with its spacious first-floor hall, rows of counters, and numerous beautiful maidservants bustling about to assist customers.

Looking at Yuebaolou, Lin Jing couldn’t help but remember Elder Yu, Elder Bai…

And of course, Huang Qingling…

At this time, Little Sparrow flew over from Lin Jue’s shoulder and landed on Lin Jing’s shoulder.

After Little Sparrow came over, it tilted its head and bumped Lin Jing before opening its mouth:

“Find… Qing Ling!”

Lin Jing turned his head to look at Little Sparrow and then said:

“Qing Ling isn’t here…”

Upon hearing this, Little Sparrow lowered its head.

Clearly, it also knew that Qing Ling was not there; otherwise, it would have flown in already.

Lin Jing then reached out and petted Little Sparrow, consoling it:

“Wait…”

“After a while, I’ll take you to find Qing Ling.”

Upon hearing this, Little Sparrow eagerly raised its head to look at Lin Jing and flapped its wings, saying:

“Good…”

“Find Qing Ling…”

Lin Jing lingered at the entrance of Yuebaolou for quite some time…

But in the end, he did not go in.

After a while, Lin Jing shifted his gaze and continued in the direction of the Li Family’s location.

Lin Jue and Ye Yun followed silently behind Lin Jing, without saying a word…
