Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 405: Chapter 105: Lot Number 1, Li Qingqing

It wasn’t until after leaving the Guest Inn that Lin Jing suddenly remembered he hadn’t yet looked at the auction list he had received.

So, Lin Jing immediately took out the auction list and began to look through it…

This Black Shark Auction House’s auction list was indeed different from the auction lists Lin Jing had seen before.

Each page featured a ‘lot’ depicted in an image.

Moreover, the artist had used some special methods when drawing these images, making them incredibly lifelike. If one stared at them for a long time, it even felt as if the people depicted in the images could come to life.

Beyond these images, there were also some brief descriptions at the bottom of each page.

This included the person’s cultivation level, age, and some special introductions, etc…

Holding the auction list in his hands, Lin Jing carefully flipped through the pages. He hadn’t turned many when he saw Lin Jue, along with the introduction below.

Lot number sixty-two.

Age: nineteen

Gender: Male

Cultivation: Foundation Establishment second layer.

Special feature: Second-Grade Alchemist.

Auction starting price: To be determined at the auction.

Lin Jing frowned as he read the information on the auction list, pondered for a moment, and then continued to turn the pages.

The further back he went, the more precious the ‘lots’ on the auction list became. Although there were no prices marked, their descriptions made it very clear.

Aside from Human Cultivators, there were some rare beasts as well.

There was even one of the Fox Clan girls that Yan Wanfei had pretended to be.

It seemed that the Black Shark Gang was indeed not simple.

They did this without fear of retaliation.

Afterward.

Lin Jing continued to look further back, and clearly, the lots became more precious one after another, with some even having special bloodlines.

Lin Jing estimated that these ‘lots’ with special bloodlines would be worth at least several hundred thousand Spirit Stones each.

It was just unknown how valuable that last ‘lot’ must be?

Before long, Lin Jing had flipped to the last page of the auction list.

However, when Lin Jing saw the image of the last lot, he was stunned, and then an uncontrollable rage surged within him.

Because Lin Jing knew the person in the image…

Not only did he recognize her, but he was also very familiar with her.

Although he hadn’t seen her for a long time and she had grown up quite a bit, looking more mature, Lin Jing could still recognize her at a glance.

She was Li Tangyu’s sister, Li Qingqing.

For some unknown reason, she had become a ‘lot’ at the Black Shark Auction House.

And she was the final lot, no less.

Looking at the familiar and beautiful face of Li Qingqing on the auction list,

The rage in Lin Jing’s heart kept boiling over uncontrollably.

Li Qingqing was not only Li Tangyu’s sister but also his friend.

His friend had now been treated like merchandise, to be auctioned off to others.

How could Lin Jing not be angry?

Previously, Lin Jing had promised Li Tangyu to take care of his sister.

However, he encountered the incident with the Zhang Family Patriarch along the way, which led to his unexpected arrival in the Demonic Monster Sea.

Originally, Lin Jing thought that with the protection of the Li Family in the Nanming Domain, and Elder Master Li having good relations with the Qingyuan Sword Sect, nothing would happen.

But now, seeing her again on this auction list,

Lin Jing couldn’t help feeling somewhat fearful. If he hadn’t come to Black Xing Island because of Lin Jue’s matters, Li Qingqing’s fate would be hard to predict…

Although Lin Jing was furious, he also knew that this was not the time to act rashly.

So, he took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and slowly settled down.

Then, Lin Jing continued to look down…

Lot number one.

Age: twenty-six

Gender: Female

Cultivation: Foundation Establishment ninth layer

Special feature: Pure Yin Body, suitable for use as a cauldron. Also, this woman is a rare Third-Grade Alchemist.

Additional: This woman has a beast pet, a Black Kite, which is at the Golden Core Stage, can speak human language, and is exceptionally intelligent. It’s suspected to have the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan and has extraordinary potential. It once escaped from a joint encirclement by three Golden Core Cultivators.

However, it is exceptionally loyal to its master and is always ready to rescue its owner. It has already launched several attacks on this auction.

If one can obtain this woman, with just a bit of manipulation, the beast pet will surely fall into their possession. With careful cultivation, it could become a top-tier great demon.

Black Kite, Little Sparrow…

This Black Kite must be Little Sparrow.

After reading the introduction, Lin Jing understood why Li Qingqing had become the final lot.

Most of this page was about Little Sparrow.

Clearly, Little Sparrow was their main target for the auction, and Li Qingqing was merely a lure to entice Little Sparrow.

Moreover, according to the description, Little Sparrow had not yet been caught and was still trying to rescue Li Qingqing.

Although Little Sparrow was intelligent, if others utilized Li Qingqing, it would be as if Little Sparrow was caught by the handle.

Moreover, it seemed that no Nascent Soul Cultivator had made a move yet; otherwise, it would not be certain whether Little Sparrow could escape.

There was also another matter that puzzled Lin Jing.

Why would Li Qingqing appear here?

Could it be that the Nanming Domain has already fallen entirely?

During this time, Lin Jing had been cultivating and had not inquired about any news from the Nanming Domain.

Moreover, why was Li Qingqing captured, and where had Elder Master Li and the other members of the Li Family gone?

Lin Jing didn’t know any of this.

And to unravel these mysteries, the only way was to rescue Li Qingqing before discussing further.

As the final auction item, rescuing Li Qingqing would not be an easy task for Lin Jing.

Even if he wanted to win the bid for Li Qingqing, with the Spirit Stones on him, there might be some risk involved.

After thinking for a while, Lin Jing made a decision; one must always be prepared for every eventuality…

On one hand, he would attend the auction to see if he could win Li Qingqing. If successful, all would be well.

On the other hand, he also needed to prepare for the worst.

If he really didn’t have enough Spirit Stones to win the bid for Li Qingqing, he would have no choice but to take her by force…

However, before doing so, Lin Jing still needed to ascertain the situation.

Afterward, Lin Jing headed towards the trading market.

Soon, Lin Jing arrived at the entrance of the Black Shark Auction House.

At this moment, the Black Shark Auction House’s doors were tightly shut and not open to the public.

The auction hadn’t started yet, and the ‘auction items’ should currently be stored inside the auction house, inaccessible to anyone.

Even though he couldn’t directly access them, Lin Jing still had other methods.

Next, Lin Jing came to an uninhabited alley nearby the auction site, where he summoned the system, directly entering the System Space.

Upon entering the System Space, Lin Jing summoned the system once more and then spoke:

“Enter Observation Mode.”

It had to be said, Observation Mode was an indispensable and practical feature.

As Lin Jing finished speaking, the scene before his eyes began to change, and soon his perspective appeared high above the Black Shark Auction House.

After entering Observation Mode, Lin Jing directly controlled the observation viewport and began searching.

This Black Shark Auction House, when it came down to it, wasn’t very large; apart from the main auction hall at the front, there was just a moderately sized courtyard behind it.

In this courtyard, there were several rooms, and Lin Jing could clearly see that these rooms were all protected by formations, with several Foundation Establishment Cultivators guarding the entrance to the yard.

And the ‘auction items’ prepared for sale were presently locked inside these rooms.

Lin Jing directly controlled the observation viewport to peer inside the rooms. Though protected by formations, these formations were ineffective against Lin Jing’s observing perspective.

Approaching one of the rooms, it was almost identical to the shop Lin Jing had previously visited.

It was simply a cage that locked up these ‘auction items’ prepared for sale.

Lin Jing controlled the observation viewport to explore inside the room.

Soon, he found Lin Jue.

At that moment, Lin Jue was curled up in a corner of the cage, his gaze carrying traces of fear and worry. He was pursing his lips, looking towards the door.

His cage was completely trapped by a formation, and on his body, there were several talisman seals confining him.

This showed just how strict the Black Shark Auction House was with their ‘auction items’.

Lin Jing then looked over Lin Jue’s body.

He seemed all right, apart from being bound up, and had no other injuries.

Actually, it was a rule of Black Shark Auction House that every ‘auction item’ prepared for sale was not allowed to have any injuries, naturally to fetch a better price.

Only, Lin Jing wasn’t aware of this rule.

Seeing that Lin Jue was unharmed, Lin Jing relaxed a bit.

Then Lin Jing scanned around the room and saw many Cultivators who were about to be auctioned off. Most of them, like Lin Jue, were frightened and anxious.

After scanning the entire room, Lin Jing still did not find Li Qingqing.

It seemed that as the number one auction item, Li Qingqing’s treatment must have been different from the others.

Therefore, Lin Jing continued controlling the observation viewport to scout out the other rooms.

After investigating two more rooms in succession, he still did not find Li Qingqing.

Lin Jing frowned, thought for a while, and then stopped the search, controlling the observation viewport to rise again above the auction house.

Lin Jing had apparently forgotten something during his previous search.

The main reason for auctioning Li Qingqing was certainly Little Sparrow.

According to the list, Little Sparrow should be at the Golden Core Stage by now and be quite troublesome…

Lin Jing had already experienced Little Sparrow’s intelligence back in the Nanming Domain.

With several years of growth, Lin Jing estimated her intelligence would likely be even higher.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have attacked the Black Shark Auction House several times without being captured.

So, if they wanted to catch Little Sparrow, she certainly wouldn’t be kept with the rest.

Therefore, the place where Li Qingqing was detained must be more secure, and there would definitely be Golden Core Cultivators, maybe even Nascent Soul Cultivators, guarding it.

After observing the auction house area, Lin Jing’s gaze finally settled below the auction house.

The entire auction house was covered by an extremely powerful grand formation.

If there was a safest place, it could only be beneath the auction house.

After that.

Lin Jing controlled the observation viewport and delved beneath the auction house…
