Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 656: Chapter 281 Li Mingwu’s Calculations_2 Chapter 656: Chapter 281 Li Mingwu’s Calculations_2 “I’ve stayed by his side for quite some time, and I couldn’t know him better,”

“Moreover, Island Master Li, you also know that before discovering I was your man, Bai Yi had always trusted me a lot.”

“Even the affair of the Five Elements Cave Mansion was all arranged by me under your instructions.”

“Therefore, I can be certain that he definitely didn’t have time to prepare, nor did he have the ability to open the Wood Hall beforehand.”

Having heard Ling Yi’s analysis, Li Mingwu nodded.

Ling Yi had made reasonable points, and they were factual.

But…

Li Mingwu still felt there was something he was overlooking.

He then lowered his head, beginning to contemplate.

After pondering for a moment, Li Mingwu suddenly raised his head and then said to Ling Yi:

“Ling Yi.”

“Do you think it’s possible for any of the others who entered the Five Elements Cave Mansion with us that day?”

“For instance…”

“Lin Jing, the one who cultivates the Five Elements Cultivation Technique.”

“After all, it was in the Five Elements Cave Mansion, and he cultivates the Five Elements Cultivation Technique.

It’s possible that his technique has its own wonders, which could help him enter the Five Elements Wood Hall ahead of time.”

“Also…”

“Didn’t you say that Lin Jing has been missing for over twenty years?”

“And he still has not been found to this day.”

After listening, Ling Yi immediately responded:

“Island Master Li.”

“I was just about to discuss this matter with you.”

“Today, at the trade fair, I saw Lin Jing.”

“Oh?”

“You saw him?” Li Mingwu looked at Ling Yi.

Ling Yi nodded and then continued:

“Yes.”

“Lin Jing has somehow gained the support of the Yan Family.”

“At the trade fair, the Yan Family’s ancestor openly declared his protection over him.

He even got his good friend, Divine Toad, involved.”

Upon hearing this, Li Mingwu frowned:

“What exactly did he do to gain favor with the Yan Family?

Do you know?”

Ling Yi then said:

“What he exactly did, I do not know.”

“However, from their conversation, it seems that Lin Jing is also a Fifth Grade Alchemist, and it appears he helped the Yan Family with alchemy.”

As he spoke, Ling Yi’s tone shifted:

“Oh, right!”

“There’s one more thing…”

“The Jade Soul Algae you wanted me to trade with the Yan Family’s ancestor, I couldn’t get it.”

Saying so, Ling Yi took out the jade box from the Space Ring and then handed it to Li Mingwu.

Li Mingwu looked at the jade box and then took it with his hand:

“If it wasn’t secured, it doesn’t matter.

It was just a test in any case.”

“The injury to my Soul Spirit is almost healed, and once I’m healed, I can afford to delay a little longer and then begin the next plan.”

After speaking, Li Mingwu turned his attention back to Ling Yi and said:

“Since Lin Jing has returned, when the time comes, dedicate some attention to him and see if he displays any unusual behavior.”

“Also…”

“I think what you said is correct, our main suspect should still be the Demon Lord Wan Mo.”

“Although Demon Lord Wan Mo and Bai Yi do not usually interfere with each other, they are allies.”

“Most importantly, Demon Lord Wan Mo still possesses the Five Elements Water Command that he snatched from us, and both of them have Five Elements Command Tokens, and it is quite possible they have three.”

“If they then pull in one more person, and if they form an alliance of three, they will pose a huge threat to me when I enter the Five Elements Ruins with them.”

“Therefore, I must break this situation.”

There are a total of five Five Elements Command Tokens, and only those who carry these tokens can use them to enter the Five Elements Ruins.

If out of these five, three people form an alliance, it will be a tremendous threat to the remaining two.

And these Five Elements Ruins, one must enter at all costs.

Because inside the Five Elements Ruins, there reside Five Elements True Spirits, and Li Mingwu, after a lifetime of effort, has already gathered four Five Elements True Spirits, now only lacking the last one.

Once he gathers the fifth, he can coalesce the Five Elements and step into the Solidifying Body Realm.

Hence, he must go to the Five Elements Ruins.

Ling Yi, having followed Li Mingwu for a long time, naturally knew this situation as well.

So after hearing what Li Mingwu had said, he promptly asked:

“Island Master Li, what do you plan to do?”

Li Mingwu spoke, addressing True Lord Ling Yi:

“During this period, go to True Dragon Island and stay there for the time being.”

“After that, you can gradually make contact with the Dragon Cultivator.”

“The Five Elements Ruins are fatally tempting to those of us who have been at the Nascent Soul Peak for many years, and the Dragon Cultivator is no exception.”

“But he does not possess a Five Elements Command Token.”

“All you need to do is approach him at the right moment, then propose a cooperation to jointly eliminate Demon Lord Wan Mo.”

“As for the terms, it’s the Five Elements Water Command in Demon Lord Wan Mo’s possession.”

At this point, Li Mingwu sneered and continued:

“With this condition…”

“There’s no way the Dragon Cultivator could refuse.”

Upon hearing this, True Lord Ling Yi hastily spoke with flattery:

“Island Master Li, your wisdom is unparalleled.”

“Making contact with the Dragon Cultivator not only allows us to eliminate Demon Lord Wan Mo, removing one adversary but also to dissolve his alliance with Bai Yi.”

“By then, with only Bai Yi left, he certainly won’t be able to stir up any serious trouble.”

“We might even have the opportunity to eliminate Bai Yi as well.”

Li Mingwu shook his head and said:

“Bai Yi isn’t that foolish.”

“Our fight against Demon Lord Wan Mo is about taking him by surprise, to strike before he can react, and take the opportunity to join forces with the Dragon Cultivator to remove him.”

“But as soon as Demon Lord Wan Mo encounters trouble, Bai Yi will immediately become vigilant, and we will lose any chance we had.”

“We still lack the final Fire Command, which we’ve yet to find; we need to gather the other four tokens to deduce the location of the last Fire Command.”

“If we push Bai Yi into a corner, he might do something drastic, even possibly destroy the Five Elements Earth Command he holds.”

“In such a case, the loss would outweigh the gain.”

True Lord Ling Yi was embarrassed and bowed to Li Mingwu, saying:

“I understand.”

Li Mingwu nodded slightly, “Good, as long as you understand.”

“I’m going into seclusion for a while, so the task of contacting the Dragon Cultivator falls to you.”

True Lord Ling Yi nodded:

“Island Master Li, leave it to me and rest assured.”

…

…

Li Yan Island.

Ever since Lin Jing advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, Li Yan Island had once again flourished, especially the Li Yan Marketplace, which was among the top in the Thousand Islands Domain.

It could even nearly rival the marketplace of True Dragon Island.

Furthermore.

Yue Tian Island’s Island Master Bai Yi even made a point of taking care of Lin Jing.

Therefore, even though Lin Jing had been away for over twenty years, no one dared to covet the Li Yan Marketplace.

Before Lin Jing arrived at Li Yan Island, he noticed many cultivators heading there.

Most of these cultivators were at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

However, there were also quite a few at the Golden Core Stage.

Since Nascent Soul Cultivators were rare in the Thousand Islands Domain and resources weren’t abundant, not even the Li Yan Marketplace often had treasures that Nascent Soul Cultivators needed.

Hence, during the journey, Lin Jing didn’t come across any Nascent Soul Cultivators.

As he was approaching Li Yan Island, Lin Jing directly activated his Divine Sense, his abundant Divine Sense immediately surged outward, enveloping everything in front of him.

A Divinity Transformation stage’s Divine Sense could effortlessly probe hundreds of miles.

Lin Jing extended his Divine Sense like a canopy, instantly covering the nearby seas and Li Yan Island within it.

Everything on the island flashed into Lin Jing’s mind in an instant.

Of course.

Except for the northern region of Li Yan Island which was covered by a Formation, making it impossible to probe even with his Divinity Transformation stage’s Divine Sense.

Within Lin Jing’s Divine Sense, he could clearly see the happenings in the Li Yan Marketplace and the various activities within Li Yan City.

Nothing could escape his probe.

And under such an extensive Divine Sense scrutiny, the cultivators were oblivious, continuing with their own activities.

Their cultivation was simply too inferior compared to Lin Jing’s; if he didn’t want them to notice, they would never be able to detect anything.

Divine Sense works like this; as one’s Cultivation improves, the cultivator’s Divine Sense becomes more solid.

Low-grade cultivators can’t hide their actions under the Divine Sense probe of higher-grade cultivators.

Even when using Divine Sense for messaging, under the coverage of a higher-grade cultivator’s Divine Sense, it’s quite the same as broadcasting loudly.

For instance…

When Lin Jing and Zhang Jian faced Han Bingyan’s master, the message Zhang Jian transmitted to Lin Jing was heard word for word by Han Bingyan’s master.

It was for this reason that Zhang Jian ended up facing retaliation…
