Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 440: Chapter 138: A Sudden Change, A Conspiracy Emerges

Lin Jing remained calm and collected, directly throwing out a statement:

“Then do you still want the Nirvana Elixir or not?”

This line was a massive strike, making Zhang Jian immediately cease his aggressive posturing. He hastily followed up with an ingratiating smile:

“Heh heh…”

“I was just kidding just now. Don’t worry, once I advance to a Fifth-Rank Alchemist, I will definitely set up a few Formations for Brother Lin first.”

After hearing this, Lin Jing then nodded his head in satisfaction.

Zhang Jian then spoke up, once again addressing Lin Jing:

“Brother Lin…”

“You stay here at this trade conference, and I’ll go get that Formation manual. I’ll be right back.”

“It won’t take long, just wait for me…”

Lin Jing nodded and said:

“Alright, go ahead…”

Then, Zhang Jian directly pulled along the Blue-Robed Cultivator and said:

“Let’s go…”

“Together.”

The Blue-Robed Cultivator asked in surprise:

“Ah…”

“I’m going too?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Don’t you know where Old Man Liu is?”

Zhang Jian replied:

“Of course I have to bring you with me…”

“You know better than anyone how much Old Man Liu loves to trick people. I’m afraid he might raise the price at the last minute, and by bringing you along, you can help witness it.”

Upon hearing this, the Blue-Robed Cultivator slightly nodded:

“Old Man Liu, that guy, truly is somewhat underhanded, loves to rip off those he’s familiar with…”

“Alright then…”

“I’ll accompany you on this trip.”

Zhang Jian said with a smile:

“That’s more like it…”

“Having you as a witness, if he dares to call out absurd prices to me, I’ll turn his little stand upside down…”

After finishing.

Zhang Jian said goodbye to Lin Jing, then left the place together with the Blue-Robed Cultivator.

After Zhang Jian had departed, Lin Jing was left there by himself.

However, the mountaintop was still bustling with activity.

Quite over a hundred Golden Core Cultivators were present, most of them from the Thousand Islands Domain, and others came from different places, hearing the news of the Golden Core.

They had come early to this place to participate in the trade conference.

Some time later, as the time for the start of the trade conference was almost upon them,

the Cultivators who came for the trade conference had mostly all arrived.

Seeing that it was about time, the group of Cultivators at the very front of the square began to move.

Among them, a man dressed in white spoke up:

“Everyone…”

“Please quiet down for a moment and listen to me carefully.”

This voice, carrying the overwhelming force of a Golden Core Peak cultivation, quickly spread throughout the venue.

The numerous Golden Core Cultivators at the site had also quieted down at this time, paying attention to the man in white.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the man in white continued:

“This trade conference has been jointly initiated by a few of us brothers, with the purpose of making it more convenient for everyone to exchange for the cultivation resources they need.”

“Therefore…”

“To prevent anyone from causing trouble during the trade conference, we need to activate the Defensive Array on this mountaintop before the conference starts.”

“Does anyone have any objections?”

Upon hearing what the man in white had said, someone immediately responded:

“It’s naturally necessary. Otherwise, what do we do if someone steals a treasure and runs away?”

…

“Indeed…”

“Making a trade in this place without any cover, setting up a Formation is the best option…”

…

“I agree…”

…

“We agree as well…”

In an instant, everyone expressed their agreement.

But just then, suddenly, a different voice rang out.

Someone asked at this moment:

“Fellow Taoist Bai, a friend of mine hasn’t arrived yet; if we activate this Formation, how will he be able to get in?”

The man in white, with a warm smile on his face, replied to the inquirer:

“Rest assured, fellow Taoist, if your friend hasn’t arrived yet, it’s not a problem. We have deliberately left a gateway in the Formation, allowing those who come later to enter…”

Hearing what the white-robed Cultivator said, the inquirer nodded and said to the man in white:

“Thanks for the clarification, fellow Taoist. I also agree with activating the Formation…”

Afterward, no one else made a sound…

Obviously, everyone agreed to the request to activate the Formation.

Lin Jing stood in the corner at the back without speaking,

Setting up a Formation was indeed necessary.

If some particularly precious treasures were to appear, it was indeed possible that someone would snatch the treasure and immediately use a Teleportation Talisman to flee.

If that kind of situation did arise, no one would be able to stop it…

After all, those who attended this trade conference were not prohibited from hiding their identities; it’s possible some people were in disguise.

Thinking of this, Lin Jing suddenly felt regret.

If only he had disguised himself before coming here.

It was Zhang Jian’s fault for being too anxious,

which made him forget about this detail.

However, it’s also fortunate that Zhang Jian did not disguise himself.

Otherwise, it was very possible that he would’ve missed the Blue-Robed Cultivator, thus missing out on a great opportunity.

…

After obtaining the agreement of everyone at the scene, the white-robed Cultivator and those with him started moving about every corner of the plaza, beginning to take action…

It didn’t take long for the Formation atop the mountain to be activated, instantly enveloping everyone in a transparent light shield.

After activating the Formation, the man in white and the others returned to the front again.

At this point, someone from the front said:

“Fellow Taoist Bai…”

“Now that the Defensive Array has also been activated, can we start now?”

The man in white replied with a smile:

“Of course…”

“Ladies and gentlemen, this grand event will now begin.”

As he spoke, the man in white took out a Token from his Storage Bag and held it up, then said to everyone:

“Everyone, do you see this Token?”

Everyone immediately looked up, and on this Token was carved an image of a fierce ghost, looking somewhat evil and bizarre.
