I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 102: Pleasant Surprise

Because Lin Qing was working together with Master Hua to search for the Foundation Building cultivator who attacked the Five Family District, he was especially careful in his search. He put some individual materials from the storage bag into his own storage bag. As for some formation tools, he did not put them into his storage bag. After all, if he could place the Yin-Yang Disk in the formation, others could do the same. These were hidden dangers. Even without the Yin-Yang Disk, there could be other means. A Foundation Building cultivator was not as simple as a Qi Refining cultivator. They had a reputation within the sect.

After searching for half an hour, Lin Qing finally stopped.

Among the things he put into his storage bag, in addition to nearly ten thousand spirit stones, there were more than two hundred different types of materials, large and small. Although many of them were not useful to Lin Qing now, it didn't mean they wouldn't be useful in the future. Among them were several third-grade materials, which were quite valuable.

Lin Qing estimated that the net worth of this Foundation Building cultivator was at least fifty to sixty thousand spirit stones. This value was like finding a treasure trove.

However, during his search just now, Lin Qing did not find anything that revealed the identity of this person. As for the person's corpse, Lin Qing looked at the Purple Gold Toad and knew that he didn't need to think about it.

The nearby tools had also corroded and were no longer usable. Lin Qing simply put the tools into the person's storage bag. Then he randomly caught a wild boar from the mountains and stuffed it into the person's mouth. If someone really came looking in the future, they would only find a wild boar's head.

After dealing with this person's belongings, Lin Qing turned to look for the female cultivator named Xiu Yun who had fallen to the side just now. But when he turned his head, there was no corpse around, and the Purple Gold Toad was squatting on the ground, staring at the white clouds in the sky, seemingly unaware of everything.

However, when Lin Qing saw another storage bag on the empty ground next to the Purple Gold Toad, he couldn't help but smile. This Purple Gold Toad was really greedy.

Lin Qing didn't expose the Purple Gold Toad. He picked up Xiu Yun's storage bag and opened it, feeling surprised.

"There's actually a Foundation Building Grass!"

Lin Qing took out a Foundation Building Grass from Xiu Yun's storage bag, his eyes filled with disbelief.

This grass was something his whole family had been searching for for many years, but couldn't find. The Foundation Building cultivator just now had two of them in his hands, and now this Qi Refining Ninth Layer female cultivator had one in her storage bag. Could it be that this grass was picked up from the roadside? Was it really that worthless?

Of course, Lin Qing was just complaining in his heart. He knew that this grass was most likely from the Foundation Building cultivator just now. As for why it was in Xiu Yun's hands, it was probably to tempt him.

If he had listened to Xiu Yun's temptation from the beginning, he would probably only have gotten one Foundation Building Grass and her body.

Thinking about it now, looking at this Foundation Building Grass, Lin Qing felt an indescribable joy in his heart. If the two grasses just now were what he deserved, then this one was an unexpected surprise. Surprises always make people happy.

Putting this grass into his storage bag, besides that, there wasn't much of value in Xiu Yun's storage bag. The total value didn't exceed one thousand spirit stones. Lin Qing casually took a look and put her storage bag into the other end of the wild boar, just in case.

After finishing everything, Lin Qing looked at the Purple Gold Toad still in the sky, and smiled at it. "Let's go."

"Qua."

"Qua-qua."

The Purple Gold Toad happily croaked twice, then followed Lin Qing as they left this place.

What Lin Qing didn't know was that less than three hours after he left, a large male wild boar with a storage bag was found by someone. This person, upon seeing the storage bag in the boar's stomach, had an indescribable look of astonishment.

"Damn it, you didn't let a wild boar eat it, did you?"

Then this person opened the storage bag, and upon opening it, felt a chill in their heart. If it had been eaten by the wild boar, it would have been fine, at least the things would still be there. But now, most of the things inside were gone.

Turning their head to look at the vast dense forest, and not far away, at the several female wild boars who were looking at this scene with some fear, this person felt a headache.

Now, where should they look?

Back in the Red Sun Immortal City, Lin Qing immediately used a communication talisman to summon Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuyuan who were outside.

This communication talisman was a second-grade talisman, but it wasn't expensive. It could sense each other, so as long as Lin Qing used it, Lin Xuzhe would receive it on his end.

And upon seeing the communication talisman light up, Lin Xuzhe and his brother Lin Xuyuan immediately returned home.

Late at night, Lin Qing's family gathered in the house, and Lin Qing took out a Foundation Building Grass. When everyone saw this Foundation Building Grass, their eyes lit up, especially Lin Xuqing, who exclaimed in surprise, "Dad, this grass must be four hundred years old."

Hearing Lin Xuqing's words, Lin Qing was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect it to be four hundred years old, but he smiled and said, "This time, I spent a lot of money to obtain this Foundation Building Grass. Together with the other materials I have prepared, I believe I can refine the Foundation Building Pill."

After Lin Qing finished speaking, the whole family looked at each other with joy.

As for why Lin Qing only took out one, after all, he had just killed this Foundation Building cultivator today. If he suddenly took out three Foundation Building Grasses, it would be hard to explain if it were to spread in the future. But with just one, it could be explained. After all, he was a second-grade superior formation master, and it made sense that he would spend a lot of money to obtain one.

And most importantly, his family had only collected one set of materials so far. Taking out a second Foundation Building Grass would not only surprise them, but it would also be useless.

Lin Qing looked at Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuyuan and said, "Tomorrow, the two of you will go and find out the details of the alchemists in the city. We can't afford any mistakes in this pill refinement."

"Yes, Dad," Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuyuan nodded.

Although Lin Qing had asked them to inquire about the alchemists' information when they first entered the city, many things had changed over the years, so they needed to inquire again.

Firstly, they needed to know the strength of the alchemists. Naturally, they would choose alchemists with superior alchemy skills for pill refinement. For the Foundation Building Pill, second-grade inferior alchemists could refine it, but without a doubt, second-grade medium or superior alchemists would do a better job. The success rate and quality of the pill would be far superior to that of a second-grade inferior alchemist. This was just one aspect. Secondly, the Red Sun Immortal City had complex and intertwined forces. Lin Qing didn't want to find an alchemist who had any connection with the Infinite Sect to refine the pill for him. Although the chances of exposure were small, it was better to avoid it if possible.

Although today they hadn't confirmed the identity of the Foundation Building cultivator in the middle stage, in Lin Qing's opinion, it was most likely the Infinite Sect. So he wanted to keep a distance from the Infinite Sect when refining the pill.

The next day, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuyuan inquired about the alchemists in the city one by one, and then reported it to Lin Qing.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing was first surprised. He didn't expect that there were as many as seven second-grade alchemists in the city now, and three of them were second-grade medium alchemists. Among them was the alchemist named Li, whom Lin Qing had visited when he first entered the city. At that time, Li had told him that he could only refine the pill when all the materials were ready, and it would take a long time. That was why Lin Qing had spent a lot of money to auction off the Foundation Building Pill. Besides Li, there were two other second-grade medium alchemists, one named Wang and the other named Sun.

As for the four second-grade inferior alchemists, Lin Qing didn't want to consider them unless it was absolutely necessary, as the materials were too precious.
