Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 201: Chapter 201 Yun Family Conspiracy

Ning Yue spoke for nearly half an hour.

It was only after half an hour that she finished telling the whole story.

And the few people sitting there finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that the whole affair went like this…

Ever since Ning Yue returned to her family, her two male cousins felt threatened.

They began to make all sorts of secret arrangements, scheming to drive Ning Yue out again.

But since Ning Yue had chosen to return, she definitely would not let them have their way.

However, with Wei Zhengqing and Yan Xiong around…

Their tactics were child’s play and posed no threat to Ning Yue whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Ning Yue was focused on making a breakthrough.

Until half a year later, Ning Yue successfully broke through the Foundation Establishment.

She also advanced to a Third-Grade Alchemist.

After becoming a Third-Grade Alchemist, Ning Yue, with the help of Wei Zhengqing and Yan Xiong, met with the Ning Family ancestor.

Once the Ning Family ancestor came out of seclusion, he personally supported Ning Yue and directly announced that she would be the next family head.

Although Ning Yue was a woman, the Ning Family, as an Alchemy Dao family, naturally revered alchemy skills above all.

Ning Yue’s uncles, in terms of alchemy cultivation, were nowhere near her, naturally they couldn’t compete with her.

Not to mention those two unworthy cousins of hers.

Felling threatened, Ning Yue’s uncles banded together, trying to find ways to deal with her.

Especially the fathers of those two cousins, who saw Ning Yue as a thorn in their side.

But Ning Yue had the support of the Ning Family ancestor.

Even though they really wanted to get rid of Ning Yue, they were completely powerless against her.

Until one day…

Ning Yue’s uncle, the father of those two male cousins, was seduced by someone’s slander.

He actually went to the Yun Family, seeking their help to eliminate Ning Yue.

And he actually managed to do it.

Ning Yue’s uncle, with help from a mysterious person, acquired the family seal.

And using the family head’s seal, he signed a contract with the Yun Family.

The contract stipulated that the Ning Family would help the Yun Family cultivate a third-grade Spirit Plant—the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit.

If the Ning Family successfully cultivated it, the Yun Family would reward them with two hundred thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

If they failed to cultivate it, the Ning Family would hand over their Inheritance Elixir Technique and from then on, would exist as a subordinate family to the Yun Family.

Besides…

There was another condition—that if the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit was not cultivated successfully, Ning Yue would have to marry into the Yun Family as a concubine to the Young Master.

Indeed, as a concubine…

Not even as a cultivator’s dao companion or anything of the sort, but a mere mortal concubine.

This was a complete insult to the Ning Family.

And yet, such an outrageous contract was signed by Ning Yue’s uncle without any hesitation.

Because…

The Yun Family promised him that if the Ning Family became a vassal to the Yun Family, he would be put in charge of the Ning Family.

They also guaranteed that the Yun Family would not interfere in the Ning Family’s affairs in the future.

Ning Yue’s ignoramus uncle didn’t care about anything else…

He thought that as long as he could sit in the family head’s seat, he could later hand it over to his son when he grew tired of it.

Wasn’t this exactly what he wanted?

However, no sooner had the contract been signed…

His dreams had not been fully realized.

The matter was directly exposed by the Yun Family.

When the Ning Family ancestor learned of this, he was so outraged his beard trembled uncontrollably, and he almost had a heart attack…

He immediately imprisoned Ning Yue’s uncle and his two sons in the family dungeon.

But the contract was finalized and stamped with the family head’s seal, and with the involvement of key members of the Ning Family, there was no reneging on it.

If they did, the Yun Family could take it as a pretext to attack the Ning Family without restraint.

This incident was clearly a scheme by the Yun Family.

From beginning to end, Ning Yue’s uncle had been led by the nose.

Not long after, people from the Yun Family arrived at the Ning Family, bringing with them a seed of the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit.

They also set a deadline: within three years, the fruit must sprout to be considered a success.

Three years was actually a sufficient time to make a normal Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit sprout.

Of course, this was for a normal Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit.

Since the Yun Family had gone through all this trouble, they certainly would not send a normal seed.

The Ning Family ancestor knew there must be something wrong with this seed.

If they could prove that the seed was abnormal, they could use it as a reason to tear up the already signed contract.

Despite the Ning Family not being as powerful as the Yun Family…

The Ning Family had been in existence for many years and certainly had its own strengths.

The Ning Family also had a backing from the Nanming Immortal Sect.

As long as they were in the right, the Yun Family wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

What the Ning Family ancestor hadn’t expected was, after the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed was delivered, he could not find any problems with it.

The seed appeared to be completely normal.

But the reality was clear…

The Yun Family definitely would not be so kind as to give them two hundred thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones for nothing.

You have to understand, that amount was equivalent to the wealth of an entire family.

The Yun Family’s confidence in their contract suggested that they were sure the Ning Family would never be able to make the seed sprout.

Also…

It was to make the contract appear to be incredibly fair.

To leave the Ning Family without a reason to refuse.

The worried Ning Family ancestor knew all this.

Therefore…

He even invited his good friend from the Nanming Immortal Sect to come over.

But the Ning Family ancestor’s friend…

After observing for quite some time, he also found no problem with the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed.

In the end…

Even the old ancestor of the Yun Family came forward to confront the friend of the Ning Family ancestor.

And, due to the contract’s limitations,

the friend of Ning Family’s ancestor was also unable to offer any more help.

They could only let the Ning Family take the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed first and then cultivate it with dedication.

There was nothing more to say beyond that.

Just like that…

After the Ning Family had taken that seed, they carefully nurtured it for two years, yet the seed still showed no signs of sprouting.

Now, there was less than a year left before the contract would expire.

Having no other choice, the Ning Family’s ancestor thought of coming to Nanshan Immortal City to seek out his friend—the Old Master of the Li Family—to see if there was a solution here.

By the end of the story, everyone was furious.

They were disgraced by the actions of Ning Yue’s uncle.

For his own greed, he was willing to let the entire family meet their doom.

At the same time, they felt even more chilled by the tactics of the Yun Family.

This was clearly a conspiracy directed at the Ning Family.

At this moment, Lin Jing was still pondering…

Ever since Ning Yue first mentioned the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed, Lin Jing had become excited.

However, because the current situation was not appropriate, Lin Jing could only suppress the excitement in his heart and continued to listen to Ning Yue’s story.

Because…

Lin Jing was only one Spirit Plant away from completing his Cultivation True Elixir,

and that was the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit.

Since the Demon Race Secret Realm had opened, many rare Spirit Plants had appeared.

Lin Jing had also been paying close attention,

all for the purpose of learning news about the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit.

But these past few months, there had been absolutely no news of the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he received news of the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit from Ning Yue.

But…

After Ning Yue finished explaining the situation, Lin Jing’s brows furrowed once more.

Then, Lin Jing spoke up, asking Ning Yue:

“Ning Daoist friend, are you certain that the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed is genuine?”

Li Qingqing also echoed:

“Yes, could it be that the seed itself is a fake, merely disguised as a Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed through special means?”

Ning Yue shook her head, saying:

“That’s highly unlikely; the seed should be genuine.”

“My ancestor once had it thoroughly examined by someone, and that person was a Nascent Soul True Monarch.”

“Even with the use of tricks, it would be impossible to deceive a Nascent Soul True Monarch.”

Having said this, Ning Yue paused for a moment before continuing:

“But there is definitely a problem with that seed—it’s just that our methods are not capable of detecting it.”

After finishing, Ning Yue turned her head to look at Li Tangyu:

“Actually, I also know that my ancestor is seeking your grandfather in desperation, with only a slim hope.”

“It seems we have no other options left now…”

As her voice trailed off…

Even the usually strong-willed Ning Yue began to look perplexed, her eyes vacant as she sat there, lost in thought.

Huang Qingling’s eyes flickered, and she suddenly spoke up:

“Can’t we just find another Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit or obtain another seed and start over?”

“After all, they only demanded the sprouting of a Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit; they didn’t specify it had to be the one they provided, did they?”

Ning Yue shook her head, saying:

“We’ve already tried that…”

“The Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit is too rare; we simply can’t find it…”

Li Tangyu also nodded his head:

“Recently in the Demon Race Secret Realm, although several Tier 3 Spirit Plants have appeared, the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit has not…”

“Is there really no other way?”

Huang Qingling furrowed her brows and then said through gritted teeth:

“Damn it…”

“That Young Master of the Yun Family is detestable to the extreme…”

“To think he wants Ning Yue to become his concubine—it’s an insult, isn’t it?”

“Yes, it’s despicable…” Li Qingqing followed with her agreement.

At this point, Li Tangyu softly spoke up, asking:

“Miss Ning…”

“If you can’t cultivate that Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit, what do you plan to do?”

“Are you really going to marry him and become his concubine?”

“If it really comes to that…”

Ning Yue’s eyes suddenly filled with resolve, and then she said:

“I would rather fight to the death than let him succeed…”

“Ning sister, why don’t you just run away…”

At this time, Li Qingqing spoke up.

“As long as you leave this place and make it impossible for them to find you, they will be powerless.”

Huang Qingling also nodded, agreeing with Li Qingqing’s words.

“Yes, if it comes to that, just run away…”

“Where there’s life, there’s hope.”

On the other hand, Li Tangyu was deep in thought with a concerned expression.

“If Miss Ning runs away, they might use that as an excuse to take action against the Ning Family.”

“Moreover…”

“The Yun Family is not a small power, and with Miss Ning’s level of cultivation, escaping might not be easy.”

Huang Qingling said somewhat angrily:

“Are we to just stand by and watch her fall into a predicament?”

As Huang Qingling’s words fell, the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.

“Actually, I might have a solution…”

Just as the mood had become heavy, Lin Jing suddenly spoke up, causing everyone to lift their heads and look at him incredulously.
