I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 103: Master Li Dan

This Dan Master surnamed Wang comes from the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom, which is an old and powerful Foundation Building family. The Dan Master surnamed Sun seems to have a connection with the Wuji Sect. As for the Dan Master surnamed Li, he has been in Chiyang Immortal City for a long time and is said to have a good relationship with the city.

After listening to the introduction of the Lin brothers, Lin Qing first ruled out the Dan Master surnamed Sun, as he has a relationship with the Wuji Sect and naturally doesn't need to be considered. Then he also eliminated the Dan Master surnamed Wang, as his family behind him is a hidden danger.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing spoke up, "Tomorrow, you two will accompany me to visit this Master Li Dan."

"Okay, father," Lin Xuzhe said.

The next day, Lin Qing prepared generous gifts and took Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuqing to Master Li Dan's residence.

Lin Xuzhe was brought along as an assistant, while Lin Xuqing volunteered to go. Now that Lin Xuqing is a first-grade high-level Dan Master and has not yet broken through to the second grade, he probably has some thoughts about going to Master Li Dan's place. Lin Qing understood this and brought him along.

When they arrived at Master Li Dan's residence, Lin Xuzhe handed the gifts to the gatekeeper and said a few words. Then the gatekeeper smiled at Lin Qing and took the gifts inside.

Before long, a Foundation Building mid-stage cultivator with white hair walked out. Lin Qing took a look and thought to himself that this must be Master Li Dan.

"Master Lin, I've heard a lot about you," Master Li Dan said with a smile.

Lin Qing quickly returned the greeting, and the two began to talk.

Unlike before, Lin Qing is now a Foundation Building cultivator and a formation master, so it is only natural for Master Li Dan to personally welcome him.

After a few words, Master Li Dan invited Lin Qing inside, and Lin Qing smiled and led Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuqing in.

On the way, Master Li Dan glanced at Lin Xuqing, who was following behind, several times. Lin Xuqing's appearance had become even more handsome, and his alchemy skills gave him a transcendent temperament. Lin Qing's family saw him every day, so it was fine, but when outsiders saw him, they couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Seeing Master Li Dan looking at Lin Xuqing, Lin Qing introduced Lin Xuqing's identity as a Dan Master to him.

"He is still a first-grade high-level Dan Master."

Master Li Dan looked even more surprised when he looked at Lin Xuqing. After looking for a while, he couldn't help but say to Lin Qing, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you have a good son."

"Thank you for your praise, Fellow Daoist Li," Lin Qing said.

Inside the house, a woman came out and served tea to Lin Qing's group. Like Master Li Dan, this woman couldn't help but keep looking at Lin Xuqing. Lin Xuqing smiled at her, and she blushed and couldn't look anymore.

Lin Qing didn't know the identity of this woman and didn't say much about it. Master Li Dan waved his hand at the woman, and she immediately left.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please don't mind. My granddaughter is usually very shy," Master Li Dan said.

Lin Qing nodded and didn't dwell on the topic. Instead, he talked about the purpose of this visit.

"Master Li Dan, I came here today without prior notice because I have a request. I would like to ask Master Li Dan to refine a batch of Foundation Building pills for me," Lin Qing said.

"I wonder what kind of pill it is?" Master Li Dan asked.

"A Foundation Building pill," Lin Qing said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Li Dan looked at Lin Qing with some shock. Lin Qing didn't understand why Master Li Dan was looking at him like this. He was a second-grade middle-level Dan Master, but his reaction seemed as if he had never heard of a Foundation Building pill before.

After a moment, Master Li Dan slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I must confess that I haven't refined a Foundation Building pill in four years."

"Four years?" Lin Qing looked at Master Li Dan. He was a second-grade middle-tier alchemist, highly sought after everywhere.

Seemingly understanding Lin Qing's confusion, Master Li Dan sighed, "It's all because of the recent situation in Zhao Country. It's getting more chaotic everywhere, and the materials for Foundation Building pills are strictly controlled. Very few people can obtain the materials, so naturally, I haven't been able to refine any."

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Lin, may I take a look at your materials?"

Upon hearing Master Li Dan's words, Lin Qing took out the prepared materials. Master Li Dan immediately noticed the Foundation Building Grass and showed a hint of surprise, "It's actually a 420-year-old Foundation Building Grass. This is quite rare. Fellow Daoist Lin is truly skilled."

Looking at the other materials, which were all complete, Master Li Dan nodded, "Fellow Daoist Lin, the materials are fine. If we proceed with the refinement, I can do it anytime."

Lin Qing nodded. It seemed that what Master Li Dan said was true. He had no pills to refine, and there was no need to wait in line.

After discussing the cost, it was agreed that it would take seven days to refine a batch. Master Li Dan gave Lin Qing a discounted price of one thousand spirit stones. This price was fixed and non-refundable, regardless of the success of the pill refinement.

Lin Qing naturally understood this. That was why he sought out a second-grade middle-tier alchemist.

With the matter of pill refinement settled, Lin Qing's attention turned to Lin Xuqing. He spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Li, my son is very fond of alchemy. Can he observe and assist you this time?"

"This..."

Master Li Dan looked at Lin Xuqing, "I never allow outsiders to enter during pill refinement."

Lin Qing and Lin Xuqing were somewhat disappointed, but at this moment, Master Li Dan smiled and said, "To be honest, Fellow Daoist Lin, you may not know that I will be leaving here in a year or two. This batch of Foundation Building pills you requested might be the last batch I refine in Zhao Country. If you really want to watch, then go ahead. It's nothing special."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li," Lin Qing said.

Lin Xuqing also stepped forward and bowed, "Thank you, Senior Li."

Master Li Dan nodded at Lin Xuqing and then said to Lin Qing, "If you were twenty years younger, I would have taken your son as my disciple. But now, I'm old and don't have the energy."

Lin Qing nodded and asked, "May I ask where Fellow Daoist is going?"

Master Li Dan smiled, "Naturally, I'm going home. I've been here for so many years, and now I want to go back and take a look. Besides, Zhao Country is restless these days. What's the point of me staying at my age?"

"You're right," Lin Qing agreed. In recent years, Zhao Country had become increasingly chaotic.

After that, Lin Qing, Lin Xuzhe, and Lin Xuqing stayed behind. Lin Xuqing followed Master Li Dan to the pill refining room, while Lin Qing and Lin Xuzhe stayed outside. Lin Qing didn't want to wait at home for such an important event.

The waiting days were not easy, but Master Li Dan's granddaughter would occasionally come out to pour tea, and Lin Qing would thank her each time.

In this way, seven days passed. Master Li Dan walked out excitedly, and Lin Xuqing also had a happy expression on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I didn't expect this batch of pills to turn out exceptionally well. I produced three pills at once."

"Oh?"

Lin Qing stood up, his face filled with joy. Three pills greatly exceeded his expectations. In Lin Qing's opinion, two pills would have been very satisfactory, but he didn't expect to get three.
