Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 654: 280 Chapter 654: 280 The unfamiliar cultivator nodded and then stepped forward, coming directly in front of the Island Master of True Dragon Island.

“Senior, please look…”

The unfamiliar cultivator spoke, handing over the Five Elements Wood Command he held in his hand.

The Island Master of True Dragon Island took the token and immediately began to examine it.

After a while, the Island Master of True Dragon Island seemed to find nothing unusual and then asked the unfamiliar cultivator,

“Where did you obtain this token from?”

The unfamiliar cultivator spoke respectfully,

“To reply to senior!”

“This token was found by me on the deep seabed not far from the Thousand Islands Domain.

It was so bizarre how I obtained it that I dared not confirm whether this Five Elements Wood Command is genuine or not.”

While the two were speaking,

Divine Toad and the other three Divine Transformation Cultivators gathered around, and even the Yan Family’s ancestor hurried over.

Clearly, the Yan Family’s ancestor was also very interested in this Five Elements Command Token.

The Island Master of True Dragon Island nodded, then he observed the token in his hand again.

This time, the five of them gathered around, and soon they were closely encircling the token, making it impossible for other cultivators to see.

The group gathered, observing and discussing from time to time.

“Dragon fellow Daoist, what do you think?”

“Is this Five Elements Wood Command real or not?”

The one asking this was Divine Toad, and his query was directed to the Island Master of True Dragon Island.

The surname of the Island Master of True Dragon Island was Long, but he deliberately concealed his given name, unknown to outsiders.

It was said that because the Island Master of True Dragon Island was most skilled at divination, capable of probing the mysteries of heaven,

it was in one divination that he foresaw a sinister omen in his life, which would bring him immeasurable calamities.

And the cause seemed to be the influence of his name on his life fate.

However, this name was given by his parents and had been with him for countless years, already fused with his life fate, making it useless to change.

Therefore,

he concealed his name and since then, never revealed it.

From then on, he called himself Daoist Long,

hoping to avoid the foreseen calamity.

……

The Island Master of True Dragon Island hesitated for a moment as if contemplating, and after a good while, he finally spoke again,

“I have seen genuine Five Elements Command Tokens, and this token is not much different, and even the aura emanating from the token is very similar.”

“However, the ones I have seen before were of other attributes.

This Five Elements Wood Command is the first of its kind that I have seen.”

“So, I cannot distinguish its authenticity.”

Having said that, the Island Master of True Dragon Island then looked to the others and spoke,

“I wonder if the rest of you can deduce anything about this token?”

No sooner had the words of the Island Master of True Dragon Island fallen when the ancestor of the Yan Family looked at the Island Master of True Dragon Island and then spoke,

“Daoist Long, please let me have a look at this token.”

“I have a method that might be worth a try.”

Hearing this, the Island Master of True Dragon Island immediately showed a look of joy and quickly handed the token over.

“If that’s the case, then I will trouble Daoist Yan.”

The Yan Family’s ancestor nodded and then took the token, holding it in his hand, and began to inspect it carefully.

After a good while, the Yan Family’s ancestor withdrew his gaze and then spoke leisurely,

“Not hiding anything from my fellow Daoists, my Yan Family actually once obtained a copy of the records about the Five Elements Ruins, which detailed the ways to discern these Five Elements Command Tokens.”

As the Yan Family’s ancestor spoke, his aura revealed itself, which was very calm but as deep as an abyss.

At the same time, a green light emerged from his hand.

“A true Five Elements Command Token has a stable inner attribute aura, and it isn’t affected by external auras.”

“If you want to know the authenticity of this token, just testing it with a wood attribute cultivation technique will tell.”

“Fortunately…”

“The cultivation technique practiced by my Yan Family is of the wood attribute.”

As the words of the Yan Family’s ancestor fell, the green light in his hand grew brighter, and the wood attribute aura from the Five Elements Wood Command grew stronger as well.

After a while,

The Yan Family’s ancestor controlled the green light to weaken, and the wood attribute aura of the token also started to weaken.

With time passing bit by bit, the green light in the Yan Family’s ancestor’s hand dissipated, and the wooden attribute aura of the Five Elements Wood Command completely vanished.

With this occurrence, coupled with the method the Yan Family’s ancestor had just mentioned,

It was clear that this Five Elements Wood Command was not genuine.

Following this,

The Yan Family’s ancestor handed the now aura-less token back to the Island Master of True Dragon Island,

and then he sighed,

“Ah…

“What a pity!”

Seeing this, the others also couldn’t help but shake their heads.

Then, the group dispersed.

The Yan Family’s ancestor also returned.

The Island Master of True Dragon Island, meanwhile, handed the token back to the unfamiliar cultivator, and then he gave him a deep look before saying,

“This Five Elements Command Token is fake.”

Ever since the Yan Family’s ancestor had finished testing, the unfamiliar cultivator had looked disappointed.

“Thank you, senior!”

The unfamiliar cultivator took the token, bowed to the Island Master of True Dragon Island, and then walked back dejectedly.

The Island Master of True Dragon Island didn’t say anything further.

After this matter, this trade meeting also neared its end.

And the last item that the Island Master of True Dragon Island presented was one he intended to trade.

It was a pill furnace, and moreover, a Dao Artifact Pill Furnace.

Seeing this pill furnace, the Yan Family’s ancestor immediately turned back, looking towards Lin Jing:

“How about it?

Why not this pill furnace?”

“I will take down this Pill Furnace and then give it to you as a reward for helping our Yan Family with alchemy,” Elder Yan said.

Lin Jing shook his head and said,

“Thank you for your kindness, elder.”

“Although the Pill Furnace is not bad, mine is also quite good.”

“Elder Yan, you needn’t trouble yourself.”

“I currently lack neither Magical Treasures nor Pill Furnaces, and as for alchemy, it is but a minor effort for me.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Jing added,

“How about this…”

“I actually have a question I would like to ask Elder Yan.

How about you just answer this question for me?”

Upon hearing this, Elder Yan immediately asked,

“What question?”

Lin Jing then said,

“Elder Yan,”

“I would like to know where in the Southern Outer Sea I might find Jade Soul Algae.”

Elder Yan looked at Lin Jing and then said with a smile,

“So you are looking for Jade Soul Algae, I see…”

With that, Elder Yan took out some Jade Soul Algae and handed it to Lin Jing.

Lin Jing did not accept it and quickly said,

“Elder, this must not be done.”

“The Jade Soul Algae must be extremely important to you, elder.

I cannot take what you cherish.”

“Just tell me where the Jade Soul Algae appears, and I will find it myself.”

Just then, the items that the strange cultivator had taken out were obviously precious, but the Yan Family’s ancestor would not trade them.

It showed just how important the Jade Soul Algae was to him.

If it had not been important, it would have been one thing, but given its importance to him, Lin Jing naturally could not take what he cherished.

However,

Elder Yan seemed to see through his thoughts.

Then he asked Lin Jing,

“Do you think the Jade Soul Algae is extremely important to me, and that’s why you’re asking me for the locations where they appear, so you can go and collect them yourself?”

While Elder Yan spoke, Lin Jing felt that he was enveloped by an aura, which indeed came from Elder Yan.

Clearly, Elder Yan did not want outsiders to hear their upcoming conversation.

“Yes, elder.”

Since Elder Yan had already guessed, there was no need for Lin Jing to hide it any further.

“The reason I don’t want to trade is that, although what that man offered was precious, it was not what I wanted.”

“And…”

“The origin of that item is quite unique, and I prefer not to get involved in the karma that comes with it.”

“That’s why I didn’t want to trade with him.”

“Another point is that the Jade Soul Algae, although precious, has only limited use to me.”

“This isn’t like you.

As an alchemist, if you could consume the Jade Soul Algae to enhance your Soul Spirit, it would greatly help your alchemy.”

“I see…”

With Elder Yan’s explanation, Lin Jing immediately understood the situation.

Elder Yan continued,

“And this Jade Soul Algae, it’s not easy to obtain.”

Here, Elder Yan’s tone suddenly changed:

“Do you know about the Sea of Strange Mist?”

Lin Jing nodded, “I know.”

The Sea of Strange Mist was so well-known that Lin Jing naturally knew about it.

The Sea of Strange Mist is a special phenomenon within the Demonic Monster Sea.

It does not have a fixed location and appears sporadically in various parts of the Demonic Monster Sea.

It is indeed strange.

Whenever the Sea of Strange Mist appears, a thick white fog rises in the area, and anyone enveloped by this mist, be they human or cultivator, will disappear without a trace, never to be seen again.

The location of the Sea of Strange Mist is also completely unpredictable; sometimes one might be flying over the sea only to be suddenly engulfed by the mist, and thus disappear.

This is not something that hasn’t happened before.

Previously there were cultivators journeying with friends through the sea.

They just happened to be some distance apart.

And they encountered the Sea of Strange Mist; his friend was directly enveloped by the mist.

No matter how he shouted, his friend seemed not to hear and flew straight into the mist until completely disappearing.

Seeing the fog disperse, he did not dare linger and quickly fled.

Later, that friend never appeared again.

Of course, this is just one example.

There’s another, more famous, instance of the Sea of Strange Mist happening on an island.

It was an island in the Eastern Outer Seas, as bustling as Bihai Island.

The cultivators on the island numbered in the tens of thousands.

Yet, that island encountered the Sea of Strange Mist.

The sudden arrival of the mist engulfed nearly half of the island.

And that half had tens of thousands of cultivators within it.

After the mist dissipated, those tens of thousands of cultivators had completely vanished with the mist.

To this day, no one has returned.

This shows just how terrifying the Sea of Strange Mist is.

……

Elder Yan then said,

“I have encountered the Sea of Strange Mist before, but I was lucky not to be enveloped by the mist.

The Jade Soul Algae was left behind after the mist dissipated.”

“If there is likely any place where Jade Soul Algae might appear, it is only within the Sea of Strange Mist…”
