Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space-Chapter 861 - 384 Holy Maiden of Cloud Sky Immortal Sect_2

Yan Wanfei nodded, then continued,

"The Holy Maiden of Yunxian Sect is truly incredible—a genius among geniuses. In the previous two contests, she completely overshadowed the son of the Ziyun Pill Sect Sect Master and the Seventh Grade Pill Master Loose Cultivator, securing first place in the competitions."

"If there are no surprises this time, she is bound to be the first-place winner of this contest."

Hearing this, Holaw Three Rivers curled his lip and then turned to ask Yan Wanfei,

"If the Holy Maiden of Yunxian Sect is a genius among geniuses, then what about Brother Lin?"

"You must know that Brother Lin is also under three hundred years old, yet he is already an Eighth Grade Alchemist. If not for the fact that he has already joined the Elixir Alliance, he would be eligible to participate in this Alchemy Competition."

"Moreover, Brother Lin is not only an Eighth Grade Alchemist, but also a powerhouse at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage before the age of three hundred. What do you say to that?"

Yan Wanfei was taken aback upon hearing this.

After a while, Yan Wanfei glanced at Lin Jing beside him and then said with a bitter face,

"That’s entirely different, isn’t it!"

"She’s merely a genius among geniuses, but Brother Lin is a freak among freaks. How can they be compared?"

"Think back to when we were in the Southern Outer Sea, we were all just at the Golden Core stage of cultivation..."

"How long has it been since then?"

"I’ve only just entered the Divinity Transformation Stage, while Brother Lin has already become a Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert that we can only look up to."

"Who can compare to him? Who dares to compare with Brother Lin?"

With that, Yan Wanfei changed the subject and said to Holaw Three Rivers,

"You should be extremely grateful now, it’s because of my simple and honest nature that I was able to hit it off with Brother Lin from the first meeting and become friends."

"Otherwise, with your straightforward and stubborn temperament, you would’ve offended countless people by now."

Holaw Three Rivers, upon hearing this, pursed his lips, offering no rebuttal.

When he first met Lin Jing, Holaw Three Rivers was indeed wary of him. After all, it was their first meeting and they were strangers; it was natural to be cautious.

Furthermore, afterward, Holaw Three Rivers had specifically apologized for that incident, and it was already a thing of the past.

In contrast, Yan Wanfei’s honest nature was indeed rare in the Cultivation World.

However, having bickered for many years, Holaw Three Rivers rarely lost out and was not one to be suppressed by Yan Wanfei’s words, which was clearly not his style.

So,

Holaw Three Rivers looked at Yan Wanfei and spoke in a deep voice,

"I remember someone always wanting to ask Brother Lin for a sparring match..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Wanfei shook his head frantically,

"No..."

"I dare not, I’ve learned my lesson, please have mercy."

...

...

The two enjoyed their banter, while Lin Jing and Lu Youjiu exchanged glances before helplessly shrugging.

Then, Lin Jing ignored the two of them and continued to watch the center of the arena.

At this moment, the distribution of the Alchemy Ingredients required by everyone for the contest was nearly complete, and the competition was about to truly begin.

But just then, Lin Jing suddenly felt a gaze on him.

Lin Jing followed the gaze and discovered that the person looking at him was none other than the Alliance Hierarch of the Elixir Alliance.

At this time...

The Alliance Hierarch was motioning for Lin Jing to come over.

Seeing this, Lin Jing nodded,

And after explaining to Lu Youjiu and the others, he rose to his feet and stepped forward.

The next moment...

Lin Jing appeared not far behind the Alliance Hierarch.

Seeing Lin Jing’s arrival, the Alliance Hierarch turned and said to him,

"Come..."

"Have a seat next to me."

Lin Jing looked at the seats beside the Alliance Hierarch; they were arranged for the Elixir Alliance Elders serving as judges. Since he was not yet an Elder, it seemed rather inappropriate to join them.

Thus, Lin Jing spoke up,

"Alliance Hierarch, I am currently just a disciple within the Elixir Alliance, this seems somewhat improper."

The Alliance Hierarch was unperturbed and replied,

"There’s nothing wrong with that. After all, you are now an Eighth Grade Alchemist and are about to participate in the Eighth Grade Alchemist assessment. As long as you pass, you will be the ninth Elder of the Elixir Alliance."

"Sitting with us, there’s nothing inappropriate about it."

"Moreover..."

"I plan to let you participate in the judging of the upcoming event, so naturally, you’ll need to sit here."

At this moment, the materials required for the Alchemy Competition had already been distributed, and several Elders had returned.

Seeing the Elders return, the Elixir Alliance Hierarch said to them:

"This is Lin Jing, who was previously under Elder Qi; I assume you’ve all met him before."

"Now Lin Jing has been promoted to an Eighth Grade Alchemist and is about to undergo assessment. If he passes, he will be our Elixir Alliance’s ninth Elder."

"I would like to have him join us in judging this competition, what do you all think?"

Among the Elders present, other than the Grand Elder, Elder Bai, and Elder Qi, the rest were all there.

During his decades at the Elixir Alliance, though Lin Jing seldom ventured out, he had encountered and become acquainted with the others.

However, not many knew about Lin Jing’s promotion to Eighth Grade Alchemist, as the notice for this assessment was not issued long ago.

Moreover, due to the preparations for the Alchemy Competition, everyone had been too busy to take much notice of Lin Jing’s recent advancement.

Hearing this, the Elders all turned their gaze towards Lin Jing. One of the white-bearded Elders even expressed his surprise:

"You’ve advanced to an Eighth Grade Alchemist so quickly."

This Elder with the white beard was Elder Lei.

He too was an Alchemist from Yunxian Sect, and apart from being an Elder of the Elixir Alliance,

he was also the head of Yunxian Sect’s Elixir Hall.

At that moment, Lin Jing gave a respectful bow and said to the Elders:

"Greetings to the seniors..."

"It was really by chance that I managed to break through to the Eighth Grade not long ago."

Another Elder, Elder Wen, nodded slightly at Lin Jing:

"The path of the Alchemy Dao grows ever more difficult the higher one ascends."

"Especially the last two stages, advancing is incredibly tough, and there are many who remain stuck there, never able to make further progress for the rest of their lives."

"Since you were able to break through, it surely wasn’t just luck. Aside from diligence, your innate and exceptional Alchemic Talent must have played a significant role."

After Elder Wen finished speaking, the others also voiced their agreement.

Especially the previously mentioned Elder Lei, who slapped his forehead and said with a laugh:

"I almost forgot, you come from an extraordinary background, and your Alchemic Talent is astounding. Advancing to Eighth Grade Alchemist really isn’t a difficult task for you."

With that said, Elder Lei directly addressed the Alliance Hierarch:

"I have no objections!"

"If this young man has already reached the Eighth Grade, then let him join us in the judging."

Following Elder Lei’s remarks, the other Elders also expressed their agreement.

Subsequently,

Lin Jing no longer demurred and walked forward to take his place in the seats reserved for the judging panel of Elixir Alliance Elders.

...

Lin Jing’s action immediately caused a stir, as the seat he took was almost equivalent to that of an Elixir Alliance Elder.

People observed that Lin Jing seemed quite young and were surprised, speculating about his background.

Of course,

There were others who knew Lin Jing, such as Lu Youjiu and his companions, who were aware of Lin Jing’s status as an Eighth Grade Alchemist and were not too astonished that he took that seat.

Even other disciples within the Elixir Alliance were shocked to see Lin Jing sitting there, secretly wondering

if the Elixir Alliance was about to gain another Elder...

And it wasn’t just the audience watching the Alchemy Competition; even the participants in the arena turned their gazes towards the scene.

Feeling their eyes on him, Lin Jing then looked down at the crowd.

In most of their eyes, there was bewilderment.

Of course, some people didn’t care and were planning their strategies for the upcoming alchemy process while looking at the Alchemy Ingredients in front of them.

Lin Jing also saw Lin Jue. When Lin Jue noticed Lin Jing looking over, he smiled and waved.

Lin Jing smiled back and nodded slightly.

Then, Lin Jing shifted his gaze to the forefront, where the most likely contenders for the top three spots were.

They seemed not to be paying much attention to what was happening here.

Except for one...

It was the masked Holy Maiden from Yunxian Sect, who was now looking in his direction...
