Chapter 5: Fixed Point Teleportation
“`
“Huh, another new function has unlocked.”
Lin Jing summoned the system panel once again to check.
System Space (Level 2)
Remaining Time: 2 hours 16 minutes (Accumulable: 200 hours)
Host: Lin Jing
Spirit Field Range: 20 acres
Spiritual Energy Concentration: 2
Time Flow Speed: 2
Daily Entry Time: 4 hours
Required for Upgrade: (10/500 Harvest Points)
Special Feature: Alert (When the host enters System Space, the immediate surroundings of the host’s actual location are put under an alert state, ready to remind the host of any sudden situations.)
Observation: (Host can observe the real world within System Space.) (Note: During observation, the host’s perspective will synchronize with the external world’s time.)
Time Accumulation: (Remaining daily entry time will not be reset to zero, and can be accumulated.)
“Hmm… The entry time has increased again, now I can enter for 4 hours a day, plus the time flow speed is doubled.”
“From now on, I’ll be able to stay in the System Space for 8 hours each day, and when I go out, only 4 hours will have passed in the outside world.”
“If I calculate this, haven’t I made a huge profit?”
Just the thought excited Lin Jing—every day he would have 4 more hours than others. With this, how could he worry about his cultivation not progressing?
Besides, this was just the beginning; as the System Space upgraded, both the daily entry time and the time flow speed would increase.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Jing felt the dense spiritual energy around him and was immediately filled with confidence.
The concentration of spiritual energy at level 2 was much denser than in the yard of Manager Li, which housed a small Spirit Gathering Array.
With such dense spiritual energy, wouldn’t his cultivation in the System Space be doubly effective?
He suddenly felt assured—so what if he had a Five Elements Pseudo Spiritual Root? If his Spiritual Root wasn’t sufficient, he could make up for it with time.
With the System Space, even if he had to pile up his cultivation, he could do it.
“System, activate Fixed Point Teleportation.”
Although Lin Jing was excited, he did not forget what he needed to do next.
In the outer world, inside his hut, there were still three people waiting for him.
Then, Lin Jing’s perspective began to rise like he was accessing a godlike view, with his thatched hut as the center. His field of vision expanded more and more.
“Ding, vision extension complete. Please select a teleportation location, Host.”
It wasn’t until the system’s prompt sounded that the field of vision stopped increasing, but this area matched the size of the Spirit Field exactly, which was 20 acres.
“Right here will do.”
Lin Jing chose a spot some distance from the thatched hut.
“Initiate teleportation.”
No sooner had Lin Jing spoken than the scenery before him began to blur, and then he felt a dizzying sensation of weightlessness.
Immediately afterward, he staggered, nearly falling over, but he quickly stabilized his body. The solid touch beneath his feet returned, and the sense of weightlessness vanished.
Looking ahead, everything was pitch black. Lin Jing looked up to see a sky full of stars, the moon now hidden by clouds.
Fortunately, his night vision had significantly improved since he began his cultivation, and such darkness was hardly an inconvenience for him.
After looking around to get his bearings, Lin Jing headed towards his thatched hut.
He was far from panicked; he had already thought of explanations for the three people before coming out.
…
At this time, inside Lin Jing’s hut, Han Jing and Manager Li were sitting on either side of the table while Yuan Bo stood beside Manager Li, extremely cautious.
All three were simultaneously looking towards the door, waiting for Lin Jing’s return.
While Manager Li intended to say something, he refrained upon seeing the displeasure on Han Jing’s face.
As time passed, Lin Jing had still not returned, and the atmosphere in the hut grew increasingly tense.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Han Jing was the first to inquire.
“Are you sure he wasn’t in the house when you arrived?”
“`
Senior Han’s sudden questioning startled Yuan Bo, who was already on edge, causing him to jolt in fear.
He didn’t dare to lift his head now, completely devoid of his daytime arrogance. He spent all evening in fear, dreading that Senior Han would suddenly lash out and slay him and his uncle right there.
After all, Senior Han was a high-level cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the two of them combined were no match for him.
He had never before so desperately hoped for Lin Jing to show up.
Yet he wasn’t the only one harboring such thoughts.
Steward Li felt the same.
Although Steward Li was working for an elder and had an elder’s backing, if he truly angered Senior Han and was killed as a result, it would still be for nothing.
The other party was an Inner Sect Disciple with a much deeper background than his; even if he was really killed, the sect would probably not do much to Senior Han.
At most, they might impose some punishment and then have him reflect on his actions in seclusion.
After all, an Inner Sect Disciple was of much greater use to the sect than he was; how could the sect discard him so easily? Moreover, with the disappearance of Lin Jing and his inexplicable presence here.
If the matter were to be reported to the sect, he wouldn’t be able to explain this incident.
Therefore, Steward Li was also very nervous. Hearing Senior Han’s question, Steward Li also showed some anxiety, frowning as he said:
“When we arrived, he indeed wasn’t in the house. If Senior Han doesn’t believe me, I can swear on my Dao heart.”
This statement made Senior Han, who wanted to say more, stop speaking.
Since the other party had even mentioned swearing on his Dao heart, it seemed he really wasn’t lying.
A little while later, Senior Han turned his head and looked at Steward Li:
“Since he’s not here, it doesn’t make sense for us to just wait around. Perhaps we should go out and look for him.”
“Steward Li, what do you think?”
“That’s fine.”
Steward Li nodded in agreement.
Having said that, the two of them got up and walked out together.
Just then, Senior Han suddenly stopped, and Steward Li, with a puzzled face, looked at Senior Han.
“Senior Han, what’s wrong?”
Senior Han spoke up, “No need to search, he has returned.”
……
After Lin Jing emerged, he pretended to know nothing and headed towards his thatched cottage.
To avoid detection, he quickly ran to the cottage upon seeing the light inside his home.
Approaching the cottage and seeing the three people standing at the door, Lin Jing paused, then hurried forward and bowed in salute to the two men ahead.
“Senior Han, Steward Li, what brings you here?”
Steward Li displayed a stern demeanor as he reprimanded: “Where have you been running around in the middle of the night? Don’t you know that it’s forbidden to wander aimlessly within the sect?”
Observing Steward Li, who now looked solemn and imposing, Lin Jing couldn’t help but think he was the very image of an authoritative leader.
If he hadn’t been watching all along, he might have been deceived himself.
Lin Jing had to admire his acting skills; if this were on Earth, his former world, he surely would have earned an Oscar for Best Actor.
Lin Jing lowered his stance and replied:
“Responding to Steward Li, I felt that I was on the verge of a breakthrough earlier. To avoid any disturbances, which could ruin everything, I went out to find a secluded place to attempt the breakthrough.”
“Steward Li, please rest assured, I am aware of the sect’s rules. I was not far from here, and I didn’t wander off.”
“You broke through?”
Upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, Senior Han next to him extended his Divine Sense to check.
Lin Jing bowed and said, “Replying to Senior Han, I was fortunate enough to achieve a breakthrough just now.”
“Indeed.”
Senior Han, after a thorough check, confirmed that Lin Jing had indeed made a breakthrough.
He then turned to Steward Li and said:
“Didn’t you just say that if Lin Jing was expelled from the sect, you would also bear responsibility, and you wanted to wait for him to return so you could give him some travel expenses?”
“Well, now he’s back.”
