Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 423: Chapter 123 Crescent Jade Pendant

Lin Jing looked at the beautiful girl before him and nodded.

Even now, he could hardly believe that Lin Jue was a girl.

He had checked many times over.

After examining her carefully, Lin Jing nodded and said,

“Indeed…”

“I’ve examined you several times before and had never discovered that you were a girl.”

Finishing his words, Lin Jing looked at Lin Jue and asked,

“How did you hide it? Even my Divine Sense was deceived.”

Lin Jue stretched out her delicate hand to Lin Jing and said,

“It’s this thing that has allowed me to stay hidden.”

In Lin Jue’s palm lay a light purple Jade Pendant, which was not the usual round shape, but rather crescent-shaped.

Moreover, there were many different shaped hollows on the Jade Pendant, making it look quite peculiar.

Lin Jing looked at the Jade Pendant in Lin Jue’s hand and inquired,

“What is this?”

Lin Jue responded,

“This is a possession of the Lin Family. According to Grandfather, it should be the key to entering the Lin Family’s secret domain. Since I was a child, Grandfather placed this key within my body and nurtured it with my blood.”

“It’s because of this item that I’ve been able to alter my appearance and pose as someone else.”

“Furthermore, as Grandfather said, this Jade Pendant is not just a key, but also a dao treasure of considerable quality. However, it can neither attack nor defend. It only provides a concealing effect. Once concealed by it, very few can detect it.”

After listening to Lin Jue’s explanation, Lin Jing nodded.

If this Jade Pendant was indeed a dao treasure, then it would make sense that Lin Jing could not detect it.

Afterward, Lin Jue handed the purple Jade Pendant to Lin Jing, saying,

“Brother…”

“From now on, you should keep this Jade Pendant.”

Lin Jing did not speak but reached out and took the crescent-shaped purple Jade Pendant from Lin Jue’s hand.

Perhaps because Lin Jue had nurtured it with her blood for a long time, Lin Jing felt an extremely comfortable sense of familiarity as he took the Jade Pendant.

Having taken the Jade Pendant, Lin Jing then carefully examined it…

A moment later.

After completing the inspection, Lin Jing returned the Jade Pendant to Lin Jue.

He then spoke to Lin Jue,

“Keep this Jade Pendant with you.”

Lin Jue looked at him, puzzled, and asked,

“Brother, don’t you want to visit our Lin Family’s secret domain to take a look?”

Lin Jing shook his head and replied,

“For us now, the Lin Family is too dangerous. We better avoid getting involved with anything related to the Lin Family from the past.”

“Do you understand?”

After hearing this, Lin Jue nodded and said,

“I understand…”

“We are too weak right now. If we recklessly get involved with things left by the Lin Family from the past, it could easily reveal us and put us in danger.”

Having said this, Lin Jue continued to explain,

“It’s just that, I wanted to give this Jade Pendant to you for safekeeping. I’m worried that if something unexpected happens to me one day, this Jade Pendant will fall into enemy hands with me…”

Before Lin Jue could finish, Lin Jing interrupted her.

Looking at Lin Jue earnestly, he declared,

“Stay by my side, and I will protect you, ensuring nothing will happen.”

Lin Jue looked at Lin Jing’s serious expression, paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously,

“Brother, I understand…”

Lin Jing then spoke to Lin Jue,

“Alright, then keep the Jade Pendant secured.”

Lin Jue nodded and said,

“Okay, brother…”

After finishing her words, Lin Jue once again recited an incantation and fused the Jade Pendant into her glabella.

However, even after the merging, Lin Jue still retained her vivacious and beautiful girl’s appearance, not reverting to the previous Lin Jue.

Seeing this, Lin Jing asked,

“Can you control this transformation by yourself?”

Lin Jue nodded and replied,

“Yes, the Jade Pendant has been nurtured by me for a long time and has almost become one with me. I’ve long been able to use it at will, so I can control the Jade Pendant to hide my true appearance at any time.”

Lin Jing nodded and continued,

“Then how long have you concealed your female identity? Now, besides me, who else knows about this?”

Lin Jue then said,

“In the past, only Grandfather knew.”

“Now, apart from you, brother, no one else knows about my identity as a girl.”

“Not even Ye Yun?” Lin Jing asked with curiosity.

Lin Jue nodded and answered,

“Hmm…”

“He has never seen my true appearance.”

Lin Jing nodded again and further inquired,

“So now, do you plan to continue living under your previous identity, or reveal your true identity?”

Lin Jue took two steps forward, approached Lin Jing, smiled, and said to him,

“In the future, I will show my true appearance in front of brother. Outside, I will continue to disguise myself. What do you think, brother?”

Lin Jing gave a nod of approval and replied,

“As long as you’re happy, that’s what matters…”

Then Lin Jue spoke again, saying,

“Actually, here in front of my brother, besides Han Bingyan, none are strangers. Even if I show my true appearance here, it shouldn’t matter.”

At this point, Lin Jue’s eyes twinkled, and she spoke in a quieter voice,

“Or maybe, brother, you could take Han Bingyan as your dao companion…”

“Her constitution is special and can help you cultivate quickly. Plus, she’s very beautiful…”

Lin Jing was suddenly at a loss for words…

He then scolded,

“What are you thinking about all day long?”

“I have my own cultivation methods. There’s no need for…”

“And you, stop thinking about all sorts of things all day and focus more on cultivating…”

Lin Jue pouted and said,

“I know, brother…”

Then Lin Jing said to Lin Jue,

“That’s enough…”

“You should go back first.”

Lin Jue nodded, saying:

“Alright…”

“Then I won’t disturb you any longer, brother…”

Lin Jing nodded, then withdrew his Spiritual Power protection.

Just as Lin Jue was about to walk out, Lin Jing called out to her.

“Wait a moment…”

Lin Jue turned her head, looking at Lin Jing with confusion and asked:

“Brother, what’s the matter?”

Lin Jing then said:

“Ye Yun has arrived…”

After saying this, Lin Jing looked at Lin Jue and said:

“Aren’t you planning to change back to your original appearance first?”

A moment ago, when withdrawing his Spiritual Power, Lin Jing habitually used his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings.

That scan allowed him to detect Ye Yun, who was coming towards him.

Upon hearing that Ye Yun had come, Lin Jue’s eyes gleamed, and she said to Lin Jing with a smile:

“Brother…”

“Keep quiet for a while, I want to tease that silly boy Ye Yun.”

Lin Jing looked at Lin Jue, who was smiling like a little fox, and was helpless:

“Fine…”

……

Shortly after, Ye Yun’s voice could be heard outside:

“Senior…”

Lin Jing then waved his hand, and the door automatically opened:

“Enter…”

Ye Yun walked in, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Lin Jing.

Additionally, there was a lively and beautiful young lady standing next to Lin Jing.

Upon seeing the young lady, Ye Yun was immediately stunned.

He did not recognize this girl, but there was an extremely familiar feeling about her.

It was as if he had known her for a long time…

…

…

It was at this moment, Ye Yun suddenly realized that staring this way might be rather inappropriate.

After all, gazing like that at the young lady next to Senior Lin was extremely impolite behavior.

Even if he felt a familiar sense of déjà vu towards her…

As a result, Lin Jue bowed, paying her respects to Lin Jing with a salutation and said:

“Senior…”

“I am very sorry, I was rude just now without realizing it…”

Seeing Ye Yun apologize, Lin Jue’s lips curled up into a smug smile.

“Ahem…”

Lin Jing gave Lin Jue a glance, coughed lightly as a reminder to be mindful.

Then, Lin Jing said to Ye Yun:

“That’s enough, rise…”

“What is the matter that you came to see me for?”

Ye Yun then stood up straight, looking at Lin Jing with a focused gaze, and said:

“Senior…”

“I have been practicing the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique for some time now, and lately, I feel the progress has been slow.”

“Senior, you mentioned before that if I felt my progress was slow, I should come to see you, as you have a place that could speed up Body Refinement.”

“So, that’s why I have come to seek you, Senior…”

By this time, Lin Jue, who had already concealed any hint of a smile, stood beside Lin Jing as properly as a maidservant.

However, Ye Yun kept his gaze steadily on Lin Jing, without even glancing at Lin Jue standing next to him.

Seeing that Ye Yun was so focused and did not even look at her, Lin Jue showed no emotion, but just secretly curled her lip…

……

Bringing Lin Jue to a location for Body Refinement was indeed something Lin Jingzhi had spoken of before.

Body Refinement Cultivators often need extremely harsh environments to improve quickly.

And for Ye Yun practicing the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique, the Earthflame Spring would be the most suitable place.

However, initially, on the one hand, Ye Yun’s bodily strength was not enough, and there was no need to go to the Earthflame Spring.

On the other hand, Lin Jing had been observing Ye Yun to see what kind of person he was and whether he was trustworthy.

After some time of observation, Lin Jing had gained a thorough understanding.

He knew that Ye Yun was not the kind of person who would betray trust and indeed was reliable.

Therefore, Lin Jing told him about the Earthflame Spring.

However.

Lin Jing did not explicitly mention the Earthflame Spring but only said there was a place that could speed up Body Refinement.

He told Ye Yun to seek him out when his progress slowed.

And so, he came today.

Knowing the reason for Ye Yun’s visit, Lin Jing then spoke:

“I understand…”

“Thus, tomorrow morning, I will take you to that place…”

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun was immediately elated, and he bowed deeply, thanking Lin Jing:

“Thank you, Senior…”

“If that’s the case, I won’t disturb you any longer and will take my leave…”

Lin Jing nodded, responding:

“Mm, go ahead…”

After that, Ye Yun left.

After Ye Yun had departed, Lin Jing turned his head to look at Lin Jue standing beside him and asked:

“How’s that?”

Lin Jue nodded, then spoke:

“That kid Ye Yun, he really is a bit silly…”

After speaking, Lin Jue said to Lin Jing:

“Brother…”

“Then I won’t bother you any longer either and will head back now.”

Afterward, Lin Jue quickly left.

And Lin Jing, looking at the retreating figure of Lin Jue, fell into deep thought…
