Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 575: Chapter 239 Traitor_2

Li Qingqing listened and frowned:

“Uncle Luo, Uncle Yang…”

“You must also know the importance of inheriting Alchemy Techniques to an alchemical family…

“Inheriting Alchemy Techniques is the foundation of our Li Family, and it’s impossible to give it away.”

Offering Priest Luo looked at Li Qingqing’s firm stance, helplessly shook his head, and sighed, then said:

“Alas…”

...

“If that’s the case, we have no other choice.”

And Offering Priest Yang felt the same way.

Li Qingqing watched the two, silent for a long time…

After a long silence, Li Qingqing spoke again:

“Let’s conclude today’s discussion here.”

“Uncle Luo, Uncle Yang, thank you for your troubles…”

The two waved their hands repeatedly, saying:

“The Family Head is too courteous…”

“It is our duty to share the Family Head’s concerns.”

After finishing, the two bade farewell to Li Qingqing and the few people with Lin Jing, and left the council hall.

After the two had left, Li Qingqing’s third uncle suddenly spoke:

“Qingqing ah…”

“Think over the suggestions from your Uncle Luo and Uncle Yang again…”

“I think what they said makes sense.”

“Our Li Family truly cannot afford to provoke the Yun Family now.”

Li Qingqing looked up at her third uncle, then spoke:

“Third Uncle…”

“During this time, just stay at home. If there’s nothing important, try not to go out.”

Li Qingqing’s third uncle wanted to say something upon hearing this.

But, seeing the sharpness in Li Qingqing’s eyes, he immediately swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

Afterward, Li Qingqing’s third uncle also left.

Following the departure of Li Qingqing’s third uncle,

only Elder Jin, Li Qingqing, and the few people with Lin Jing remained in the council hall.

Of course, there was also a Little Sparrow.

Just then, Li Qingqing spoke to Lin Jing:

“Brother Lin Jing…”

“Please shield this place. There are some matters I need to discuss with you all.”

Lin Jing nodded, then lifted his hand, and spiritual power immediately surged out, forming a light screen that enveloped the entire council hall.

Having done all this, Lin Jing said:

“It’s ready…”

Li Qingqing nodded, then spoke again:

“Brother Lin Jing…”

“The reason I concealed something earlier is that those two offering priests have already betrayed us and sided with the Yun Family.”

Lin Jing then nodded and said:

“I had guessed as much…”

Previously, when Li Qingqing introduced Lin Jing, he remained silent and didn’t reveal his true cultivation.

If Li Qingqing refused to tell the truth, it must be because there was something wrong with those two.

Li Qingqing continued to say:

“Originally…”

“If Brother Lin Jing and the others hadn’t come, I would have planned to continue dealing with them for a while.”

“But now that Brother Lin Jing and the others are here, I no longer have anything to worry about.”

“Now that you have arrived, Brother Lin Jing, I deliberately leaked the news that you are a Nascent Soul; I guess they will soon go to report to the Yun Family.”

“It won’t be long before the Yun Family takes action; when that time comes, I will need Brother Lin Jing to make a move.”

“If it’s possible, Brother Lin Jing, as long as you make a move and deter them, they should know better and dare not provoke the Li Family again.”

Lin Jing nodded and said:

“Don’t worry…”

“Leave it to me when the time comes…”

Li Qingqing nodded, then spoke again:

“Besides those two…”

“I also suspect that my third uncle is colluding with the Yun Family, although I’ve never been completely certain.”

At this point, Li Qingqing turned to Elder Jin:

“Elder Jin…”

“During this time, I will trouble you to keep an eye on my third uncle.”

“If he goes out, let him go out. Don’t stop him, just to see if he’s really colluding with the Yun Family.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Jin nodded:

“Understood, I’ll keep a close watch on the Third Master…”

…

Before long, the group finished their discussion.

Elder Jin left first, while Lin Jing and the others followed Li Qingqing back to the courtyard prepared for them by Li Qingqing.

Here, free from the trivial matters of the Li Family, they had a lively chat.

During the conversation, Li Qingqing suddenly suggested:

“Lin Jing, brother…”

“Since you left the Nanming Domain, you haven’t really tasted any delicacies, have you?”

Lin Jing thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

Since leaving the Nanming Domain, he had spent most of his time either in alchemy or cultivation, seldom taking the time to specifically indulge his appetite.

Even when he was on Li Yan Island, it was the same.

Lin Jing nodded…

Li Qingqing then continued:

“How about this—afterward, let’s go together to the Immortal Gathering Tower and try the delicacies there as well…”

“Lin Jing, brother, what do you think?”

“The Immortal Gathering Tower is still around?” Lin Jing was somewhat surprised.

“Of course…” said Li Qingqing.

“Behind the Immortal Gathering Tower is the Qingyuan Sword Sect.”

“No wonder…” Lin Jing suddenly realized.

“If that’s the case, then let’s go to the Immortal Gathering Tower,” Lin Jing said.

After discussing it, Lin Jue was also very curious about the Immortal Gathering Tower mentioned by the two.

So, at Lin Jue’s urging, the group quickly set off and left the Li Family.

Just outside the Li Family, Li Qingqing immediately spoke up.

“Lin Jing, brother…”

“It’s still early. Before we go to the Immortal Gathering Tower, I’ll take you to a place first.”

“What place?” Lin Jing asked, puzzled.

Li Qingqing gave a mysterious smile and said:

“Follow me, and you’ll know when we get there.”

Then, under Li Qingqing’s lead, the group walked down the main street and headed in another direction.

Along the way, Li Qingqing walked and introduced Lin Jing to some changes in Nanshan Immortal City during this time.

As she spoke, Li Qingqing would sometimes sigh and talk about the old days between them.

Whenever this happened, Lin Jue would ask with curiosity, incessantly inquiring about some of Lin Jing’s past.

Li Qingqing, on the other hand, spilled everything about the experiences they had shared.

…

In this way, they wandered around for quite a while.

And as they walked along the route Li Qingqing was leading them on, Lin Jing got a rough idea of where they were heading.

If Lin Jing’s guess was right, the place Li Qingqing was leading them to should be the courtyard where he and Huang Qingling used to live.

Sure enough.

After a period of trekking, the group passed through the main street and arrived at another quiet long street.

Even though the whole place had greatly changed, Lin Jing could still recognize it as the street in front of the courtyard where he and Huang Qingling had lived.

However, the alleyway in front of the courtyard had now turned into a street.

On both sides of the street were rows of shops, and some cultivators hurriedly walked on the street. Although this long street was also wide, it was much quieter compared to the main street.

Afterward.

Li Qingqing led Lin Jing to the front of a shop with its door closed on the street side.

Looking at the shop, Lin Jing felt a bit bewildered and couldn’t help but reminisce about the past…

The location of this shop was precisely where the small courtyard he had lived in for several years had been.

Back then, this place was part of Yuebaolou.@@novelbin@@

Looking again now, the two rows of shops flanking this street must have been taken back by the Nanming Immortal City a long time ago.

At this moment, Li Qingqing spoke:

“I have bought this shop…”

Having said that, Li Qingqing walked straight up and opened the door to the shop.

After the shop’s door was opened, Li Qingqing directly called out to Lin Jing:

“Lin Jing, brother, come quick…”

“I bought this shop especially for you.”

“Come inside and take a look…”

As she spoke, Li Qingqing took the lead and stepped into the shop.

Driven by curiosity, Lin Jue also went inside.

Following behind Lin Jue was Ye Yun.

Only after all three had entered did Lin Jing snap out of his reverie.

Then, Lin Jing also followed them in.

Upon entering the shop, it was completely empty inside.

“Lin Jing, brother…”

“Come over here, I have a surprise for you…”

As Li Qingqing spoke, she crossed the shop’s front hall and headed inside.

With a bout of curiosity, Lin Jing followed her inside.

Behind the shop, there was a not-so-small courtyard.

Lin Jing stopped short as soon as he entered the courtyard.

Because the courtyard behind the shop…

Was an exact replica of what it was when Lin Jing lived here before.

Whether it was the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, the rockery, or even the kitchen…

All were built exactly as they had been before.

Clearly.

This must be the surprise Li Qingqing was talking about…
