Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 582: Chapter 243: Inquiring about News

However, within a mere moment, Yun Long had absorbed the red glow and then opened his eyes…

At this time, the red glow in Yun Long’s eyes appeared and disappeared intermittently.

The aura surrounding his body had also become extremely sinister and strange.

Some time passed, and the red glow in Yun Long’s eyes completely vanished, along with the aura around his body.

After the aura disappeared, the cultivation aura on Yun Long’s body burst forth; clearly, it had become several degrees mightier than before.

At this time.

The two cultivators had finished dealing with the female cultivator and came back from the back of the great hall.

After the two returned, they clasped their hands towards Yun Long and said:

“Young Master…”

“Just now, while you were cultivating, the Second Steward came to report that Li Qingqing had already visited.”

“We delivered the message you told us to give him, as previously instructed by you, Young Master.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Long nodded.

“Okay…”

“I know.”

“You two stand guard here, I need to step out for a moment.”

After saying this, Yun Long walked out.

Seeing Yun Long leaving, Lin Jing soon controlled the observation perspective and followed along.

After leaving the small courtyard, Yun Long skirted around the yard and continued towards the deeper parts of the Yun Family’s inner residence. Before long, he arrived at a secluded corner in the inner court and entered another slightly shabby courtyard.

This courtyard, unlike the one where Yun Long resided, contained only a flower garden and a lone room in the center of the yard.

That was all there was.

Upon entering the courtyard, Yun Long approached the front of the room.

He bowed respectfully towards the room:

“Old Ancestor…”

As Yun Long finished speaking, the door of the room automatically swung open, and then a voice came forth from inside.

“Come in…”

Then.

Yun Long got up and stepped inside.

Lin Jing, controlling the observational view, also followed in.

Inside the room, Lin Jing scanned the area and saw that there were not many items inside.

A table, two chairs, and a somewhat old bed.

These were all the furnishings within the room.

In the center of the room sat an old man with white hair and beard, sitting on a chair, holding a carving knife in one hand and a piece of wood of unknown material in the other.

Bowing his head, he was engrossed in his carving.

This wood carving was mostly completed; its overall contours were already evident, and it appeared to be the figure of a person.

After entering the room, Yun Long clasped his hands again and said to the old man:

“Old Ancestor…”

“With Li Qingqing’s arrival, I presume you’ve already been informed, Old Ancestor.”

As it turned out, this old man was indeed the Yun Family Old Ancestor.

The Yun Family Old Ancestor, without lifting his head, spoke directly:

“I’ve been informed; there’s nothing remarkable about it…”

Yun Long then asked:

“What about Lin Jing, what cultivation level is he really at?”

“Is it truly Nascent Soul?”

The Yun Family Old Ancestor did not reply but picked up the carving knife and continued to carve into the wood for a while…

After finishing the carving, the Yun Family Old Ancestor blew out a breath of air, blowing off the wood shavings from the wood.

Once the wood shavings were gone, the carving took shape.

It was a lifelike, human-shaped wood carving with clear and discernible facial lines.

And this wooden carving depicted none other than Lin Jing.

The Yun Family Old Ancestor looked over the wood carving and then spoke:

“Although I did not expend much effort, it should be sufficient to deal with a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.”

The tone of the Yun Family Old Ancestor was casual, as if he had only undertaken a trivial task.

After finishing speaking, the Yun Family Old Ancestor lifted his head.

He directly tossed the wood carving to Yun Long.

Yun Long hurriedly caught the carving and then carefully put it away.

The Yun Family Old Ancestor then spoke again:

“In a few days, go to the Li Family by yourself.”

“The Li Family doesn’t have anyone who could threaten you.”

Yun Long nodded and then clasped his hands:

“I understand, Old Ancestor…”

“Please rest assured, Old Ancestor; in a few days, I will surely acquire the Li Family’s Inheritance Elixir Technique for you.”

The Yun Family Old Ancestor nodded slightly.

Then.

He raised his head again, looking towards Yun Long in front of him.

Yun Long immediately sensed something amiss and quickly spoke up:

“Old Ancestor, may I ask if you have further instructions?”

The Yun Family Old Ancestor then said:

“Our Yun Family, although not weak, still needs to rely on Nanming Immortal Sect for reassurance. Whatever we do, we must consider the Nanming Immortal Sect’s stance and not bring trouble down upon them…”

“Do you understand?”

With these words, the Yun Family Old Ancestor’s gaze was penetrating as it focused on Yun Long.

Yun Long immediately bowed his head and clasped his hands:

“Old Ancestor, I understand…”

However, no sooner had Yun Long spoken when the Yun Family Old Ancestor’s aura surged, and that chilling gaze had already shot over.

Yun Long broke out in a cold sweat and dropped to his knees on the ground.

The Yun Family Old Ancestor’s face was icy as he looked at Yun Long:

“I allowed you to cultivate those Demonic Techniques; do you think you’ve become so powerful that you no longer need to take me into account?”

Yun Long hastily defended himself:

“Old Ancestor, Yun Long wouldn’t dare…”

The Yun Family Old Ancestor snorted coldly:

“Humph!”

“Not dare?”

“Even the Qingyuan Sword Sect you dared to provoke, what wouldn’t you dare to do?”

“Do you know the consequences of provoking the Qingyuan Sword Sect?”

Yun Long raised his head to look at the Yun Family Old Ancestor and hurriedly explained:

“Old Ancestor…”

“The matter with the Qingyuan Sword Sect was an act of desperation.”

“At that time, I was just visiting Fang Market to take care of some business when I happened to experience a breakthrough. My Demonic Techniques became uncontrollable, the Yin Sha aura surged, and I could not suppress it.”

“This is why she noticed me.”

“If I had left her be, she would surely have reported it to the Qingyuan Sword Sect, and then they would definitely take action to investigate.”

“By that time, it would have been too late.”

“That is why I took preemptive action.”
