Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space-Chapter 334 - 36 The Current Situation of the Nanming Domain
Chapter 334: Chapter 36 The Current Situation of the Nanming Domain
Not long after the two left, a wave of violent auras, followed by a series of terrible screams, emanated from the dense forest on the island.
The screams were extremely tragic yet full of vigor.
Even after a while, a huge phantom of a demonic ox appeared above that dense forest.
Subsequently, mixed within those screams of agony, were a few “moos” of oxen.
Lin Jing listened until he felt tingles on his scalp.
Lin Kai had thought it was merely a joke between friends.
He never expected the beating to be real, as the young man in white actually forced out Yan Wanfei’s true body.
No wonder Yan Wanfei shivered at the mention of special training by the young man in white.
Although Lin Jing was curious, he had no habit of peeping into others’ privacy.
Hence, Lin Jing went to the barbecue grill, picked up the jiao meat, activated the Elixir Fire in his body, and started roasting the meat.
That was all he could do for Yan Wanfei.
……
When the jiao meat was thoroughly cooked and its fragrance wafted in the air, the howl-like screams in the forest ceased.
It wasn’t long before.
The two emerged from the woods.
Yan Wanfei’s face was bruised, his body dirty and disheveled as he walked while speaking obsequiously to the young man in white:
“Hehe…”
“Brother Jiu, can you stop calling me by my old name, Niu San? It sounds terrible.”
“Look at the name I chose for myself, Yan Wanfei—it sounds pleasant and has a nice ring to it.”
“Besides, it matches perfectly with your name, Lu Youjiu.”
The young man in white glanced at him and said:
“You better change your rash temperament first.”
“Brother Jiu, don’t you know me by now…”
…
…
As they conversed, they approached Lin Jing.
Only then did Lin Jing notice.
Though Yan Wanfei looked disheveled, the aura around him was very calm, not at all like someone who had just been abused.
Moreover, Lin Jing could sense that Yan Wanfei’s cultivation aura, compared to before, seemed somewhat more grounded.
After reaching Lin Jing, the young man in white clasped his fist towards him and said:
“Lu Youjiu.”
Lin Jing also clasped his fist in return: “Lin Jing.”
At this time, Yan Wanfei came closer and said to Lin Jing:
“Brother Lin, you have no idea, Brother Jiu is no ordinary person. With his Golden Core Late Stage cultivation, he has even personally slain a Golden Core Peak cultivator. If you encounter any trouble, you can count on him.”
Lu Youjiu gave him a sidelong glance, and Yan Wanfei immediately quieted down.
Next, he came up to the barbecue grill, and when he saw that the jiao meat was ready,
he immediately cheered up again.
Then, Yan Wanfei divided the jiao meat into three portions and handed one to Lin Jing and one to Lu Youjiu.
“Brother Jiu, Brother Lin…”
“Come, this jiao meat is incredibly delicious; you mustn’t miss it.”
Lu Youjiu and Lin Jing reached out and took the grilled meat that Yan Wanfei offered.
Just then, Lu Youjiu asked Lin Jing:
“Lin Daoyou, do you drink?”
Lin Jing nodded, replying, “I do.”
After Lin Jing had spoken, with a wave of his hand, Lu Youjiu took out a set of chairs and a table that looked like white jade from his Space Ring.
“Please have a seat!”
After speaking, he reached for his waist and took down a little gourd barely two inches in size.
Then with a swipe of his hand, he took out three cups from his Space Ring, placing one in front of each person.
Soon, the gourd began to enlarge, stopping only when it reached a size similar to other gourds.
Lu Youjiu uncorked the gourd, and with a point of his finger, the gourd poured out three streams of fine liquor into the three cups.
“Please!”
After filling the cups, Lu Youjiu gestured invitingly and then downed his drink.
Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei swiftly followed suit, guzzling down the fine alcohol.
This liquor, upon entering Lin Jing’s throat, seemed to ignite the Spiritual Power within his body, making it extraordinarily active.
Moreover, a warm sensation arose from his stomach and rose to his head.
With just one cup, Lin Jing felt the uniqueness of this liquor; after drinking it, he even felt light-headed, as if floating on clouds.
It was then Yan Wanfei spoke to Lin Jing:
“What do you think? This liquor is extraordinary.”
“Us Golden Core Cultivators can only handle three cups at most—more than that, and we’d be flat out drunk.”
“Moreover, Brother Jiu made this liquor himself; it can’t even be bought with Spirit Stones.”
Yan Wanfei’s proud demeanor made it seem as though he had brewed the fine liquor himself.
“You must feel your Spiritual Power surging, right? Feels like you have unlimited strength. This fine liquor…”
Before Yan Wanfei could finish, Lu Youjiu interrupted him:
“If you keep quiet, no one will mistake you for a mute…”
As Lu Youjiu said those words, his gaze was fixed on Yan Wanfei.
Feeling the killing intent, Yan Wanfei shivered and promptly closed his mouth, sitting quietly like a well-behaved child.
Seeing that Yan Wanfei had calmed down, Lu Youjiu once more addressed Lin Jing:
“Lin Daoyou…”
“Actually, this wine isn’t much,” he said, “except that after you drink it, it can mobilize one’s Spiritual Power, allowing oneself to exert an extra ten to twenty percent of one’s strength during battle.”
“There’s not much else to it.”
“To be able to exert strength beyond one’s norm…” Lin Jing widened his eyes, obviously taken aback.
“This wine, then, really is extraordinary.”
“Lu Daoyou jests. It’s the first time I’ve heard of such marvelous wine that can enhance one’s strength; it must be extremely precious.”
“That it is, this is after Brother Jiu went through…”
Yan Wanfei couldn’t help but interject again, but as he was halfway through, he felt the icy stare from Lu Youjiu.
He immediately stopped talking and hurriedly grabbed a piece of Jiao meat and started gnawing on it voraciously.
Clearly, Lu Youjiu did not wish to disclose too much about this wine.
Subsequently, Lu Youjiu changed the subject.
“Alright, let’s not talk about the wine anymore.”
“Lin Daoyou, may I ask which island do you hail from? Have you joined any power?”
Lin Jing shook his head and then said:
“I am from the Nanming Domain, having only arrived here not long ago, so naturally I haven’t joined any power.”
“You are from the Nanming Domain?” Lu Youjiu, learning that Lin Jing was from the Nanming Domain, expressed his surprise as well.
Yan Wanfei, who was busily chewing on Jiao meat, also stopped and looked at Lin Jing incredulously.
“Yes…” affirmed Lin Jing with a nod.
“Such a big reaction from both of you, could it be that something has happened in the Nanming Domain?”
“You’re unaware of the recent events in the Nanming Domain?” Yan Wanfei asked Lin Jing with curiosity.
Lin Jing shook his head and said:
“I don’t mean to conceal anything, but prior to this, an accident happened during my teleportation, and I ended up on an uninhabited island where I cultivated for several years. Only recently did I leave that place.”
“Therefore, I am completely unaware of the recent events in the Nanming Domain and I would be grateful if you could enlighten me.”
“So that’s how it is…” Yan Wanfei nodded and said.
At this point, Lu Youjiu also spoke to Yan Wanfei:
“Niu San, since you like to talk, go ahead and say a bit more.”
“Help Lin Daoyou understand what has recently transpired in the Nanming Domain.”
Yan Wanfei, who had been about to take another bite of Jiao meat, paused and then put the meat down.
However, it was evident that he was more than willing to narrate the events.
“Brother Lin, I’m not sure if you have heard of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan?” he asked.
Hearing Yan Wanfei mention the Howling Sky Wolf Clan, Lin Jing’s heart couldn’t help but miss a beat.
“Could it be that these events really have something to do with the Howling Sky Wolf Clan?”
Lin Jing then responded to Yan Wanfei:
“I’ve heard a bit about them…”
“Before I left the Nanming Domain, I was living in Nanshan Immortal City, so of course I had heard of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan.”
Yan Wanfei nodded and said:
“Every day in the Demonic Monster Sea, we see a flurry of cultivators coming from the Nanming Domain.”
“According to the messages they bring, the Nanming Domain is on the verge of being completely overtaken by the Howling Sky Wolf Clan.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing was startled and hastily asked Yan Wanfei:
“How could this be? Doesn’t the Nanming Domain have three major sects? Could not even the united efforts of the three major sects withstand the Howling Sky Wolf Clan?”
Yan Wanfei nodded affirmatively and said:
“Pretty much. The Howling Sky Wolf Clan is also quite well-known in the Western Demon Region, as a clan its power can’t be considered top-notch, but it is definitely not weak either.”
“As for the Nanming Domain…”
“Ever since the accident that happened a million years ago, the Nanming Domain could be said to have existed in name only.”
“The inability to repel the advances of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan is not much of a surprise.”
“So now has the entire Nanming Domain fallen?” Lin Jing furrowed his brows and inquired of Yan Wanfei.
Lin Jing remembered that before he had left,
the Li Family and the Ning Family were still present in the Nanming Domain.
If the Nanming Domain truly had fallen, then the fates of the two families probably weren’t good.
He himself had previously promised Li Tangyu he would take care of his sister, but in a blink, that last accident had resulted in his companions being scattered in all directions.
Huang Qingling and Zhang Yuan were currently in deep slumber within Qinghuang Palace.
And he himself had been teleported to Immortal Crossing Island, eventually arriving in this Demonic Monster Sea.
Only Li Qingqing remained alone in the Nanming Domain.
Ning Yue, too, had stayed in Linxian City, following her family.
If the three major sects could resist the pressure of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan, then they would naturally be unharmed.
If even the three major sects couldn’t hold out, then their outcomes…
Thinking of this, Lin Jing couldn’t help but frown deeply.
However, he had no means at his disposal.
Even if he returned now, with his current strength, he couldn’t change anything.
……
Fortunately, what Yan Wanfei said next somewhat eased Lin Jing’s worries.
“Not entirely…”
“According to those who’ve escaped here from the Nanming Domain, all the Divinity Transformation old ancestors of the three major sects have come out of seclusion, trying desperately to resist the invasion of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan.”
“However…”
“The Howling Sky Wolf Clan also has several Divinity Transformation cultivators who have gone into battle. After several fierce fights, the Nanming Domain has been put at a disadvantage.”
“It’s said that the three major sects are already organizing the remnants of the Nanming Domain’s forces to gradually retreat, preparing to abandon the Nanming Domain.”
“Those who’ve already made it here to the Demonic Monster Sea are either people who fled early or those who were part of the evacuation.”
“That’s as much as I know for now,” finished Yan Wanfei. He then picked up the Jiao meat again and started gnawing on it anew.
