I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 104: Foundation Building Pill

Master Li Dan stroked his beard and said, "This might be the last batch of pills. I haven't refined any in the past few years, but instead of getting rusty, I've become even more proficient. That's why I achieved this result."

"Master Li's alchemy skills are truly unfathomable," Lin Xuqing said beside him.

Master Li Dan smiled and then handed three Foundation Building Pills to Lin Qing. "Fellow Daoist Lin, take them."

Lin Qing took the three Foundation Building Pills and looked at the fully rounded pills with complete medicinal effects. He took out a small box that had been prepared in advance from his storage bag and slowly placed the pills inside. A smile appeared on his face.

This can be considered a success.

"Well then, Fellow Daoist Li, we will take our leave," Lin Qing said. Now that they had the Foundation Building Pills, they naturally had to take them as soon as possible.

"Safe travels, Fellow Daoist Lin."

Master Li Dan saw Lin Qing off at the door, and then Lin Qing took Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuqing home.

"Grandfather, why didn't you offer some water to Senior Lin?" Master Li Dan's granddaughter pulled on his arm and said.

Master Li Dan smiled and looked at his granddaughter. "I see that you didn't want to offer water to Senior Lin, but rather to that child named Lin Xuqing."

"Grandfather, you..."

"Hahaha." Master Li Dan laughed heartily, then sighed and said, "If only I were twenty years younger. I would have liked to take him as my disciple. But alas, time waits for no one."

Upon hearing Master Li Dan's words, his granddaughter looked at the departing Lin Qing and said, "But isn't cultivating immortality all about not caring about time? What's twenty years?"

Master Li Dan turned his head and looked at his granddaughter, his face twitching slightly, and didn't say anything more.

When Lin Qing returned home, he shared the good news of refining three pills with his family. Everyone was overjoyed, but along with the joy came a question: who should take the three pills?

Thanks to abundant cultivation resources, Li Qingyu, Che Yun, Lin Xuchang, Lin Xuzhe, and even Lin Xuqing were all at the ninth level of Qi Refining and could take the Foundation Building Pills.

Considering this, Lin Qing thought for a moment and decided to go by age.

Lin Qing married Li Qingyu at the age of forty-eight. Now, at the age of one hundred and eight, Li Qingyu was already seventy-eight and definitely had one Foundation Building Pill. After that, there was Lin Xuchang, who was now fifty-four years old and should have one. Although Che Yun married Lin Qing later, she was older than Lin Xuchang and, as an elder, should also have one.

With this calculation, the three pills found their recipients.

However, Lin Xuzhe, Lin Xuyuan, and Lin Xuqing were left without pills. Lin Xuqing, at the age of forty, could still wait, but Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuyuan were not young anymore. Moreover, they had put in a lot of effort during the process of finding materials, so not receiving a pill was a problem.

The most crucial point was that Li Qingyu and Che Yun were both Four Spiritual Roots, while Lin Xuchang was only a Five Spiritual Roots. Even if he had the Foundation Building Pill, the success rate of Foundation Building would not be high.

These thoughts circled in Lin Qing's mind for a while. Looking at his family, Lin Qing finally made a decision.

"Qingyu, Yun, Xuchang, you three should take these three pills first."

Lin Qing said, although from the best perspective, Lin Xuchang's pill is best for Lin Xuze or Lin Xuqing, but Lin Qing doesn't want to do that. Even though Lin Xuchang wouldn't say anything if he did, as a family, Lin Qing doesn't want anyone to sacrifice like that. Sacrificing for the sake of the family's interests should not happen at this time.

Family interests are important, but individual talents are the pillars that support the family.

If the pillar collapses, it's useless to just focus on repairing the roof. Lin Xuchang has been managing the shop for many years, and his contributions are not small. He deserves recognition, and he has also collected the necessary materials.

Most importantly, Lin Qing still has two Foundation Building herbs.

Lin Qing, Li Qingyu, and Lin Xuzhe each took a Foundation Building pill, their eyes filled with anticipation. As Qi Refining cultivators, who wouldn't want to successfully build their foundation? Li Qingyu wanted to say something while looking at the pill and then at Lin Xuze and Lin Xuqing, but Lin Qing didn't let her speak.

"Alright, next I will rent two more houses, and each of you will break through separately."

Lin Qing said.

Actually, they could have broken through Foundation Building at home, one by one. But Lin Qing didn't want to do that. After all, the person who starts first, regardless of whether they successfully break through or not, will create pressure for the others. It's not beneficial for Foundation Building. Lin Qing didn't want any additional variables with such precious Foundation Building pills.

After Senior Zhao and Senior Zhou left, the two houses next to Lin Qing's place have been rented out intermittently over the years. Now that they are vacant, Lin Qing directly rented them and let the three of them break through separately.

Lin Xuchang stayed in Senior Zhou's former residence, Che Yun stayed in Senior Zhao's former residence, and Li Qingyu stayed at her own home.

While the three of them started their breakthroughs, Lin Qing and Lin Xuze guarded the courtyard. The others who hadn't reached Foundation Building yet couldn't help but feel a bit envious. Although they didn't say anything, Lin Qing could tell that they were disappointed without the Foundation Building pills. After thinking for a moment, Lin Qing took Lin Xuze, Lin Xuyuan, and Lin Xuqing to a room.

In the room, Lin Qing took out the other two Foundation Building herbs.

"Father, these..." Lin Xuyuan almost exclaimed when he saw the Foundation Building herbs, and Lin Xuze and Lin Xuqing were also extremely shocked.

"Father, where did you get these?" Lin Xuze asked. He knew how difficult it was to find Foundation Building herbs.

Lin Qing smiled and didn't explain. Then, holding the Foundation Building herbs, he said, "I know you are disappointed because you didn't get the Foundation Building pills, but your mother and your older brother are not young anymore, and they need these Foundation Building pills more. With these herbs, the Foundation Building pills are just a matter of time. As long as we collect another set of materials, we can refine more Foundation Building pills. It won't take long. Don't blame me for not giving you the Foundation Building pills. These herbs are what I leave for you."

"Father, we understand," Lin Xuze and the others said.

Lin Qing nodded, and Lin Xuqing, with a happy expression, said, "Father, one herb is three hundred years old, and the other is five hundred years old. We can refine several pills."

Speaking of this, Lin Xuqing continued, "Father, after observing Master Li's pill refining, I have learned a lot. I think I can reach the level of a second-grade pill master in at most two years."

"Oh, really?" Lin Qing looked at Lin Xuqing. Although he knew that his son would eventually become a second-grade pill master, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Lin Qing was pleasantly surprised. With Lin Xuqing, he wouldn't have to rely on other pill masters to refine the Foundation Building pills in the future. This was a great thing.

"If you can break through, you will be in charge of refining all the Foundation Building pills for our family in the future," Lin Qing said.

Of course, it would be better if a second-grade pill master could refine the Foundation Building pills. Even if Lin Xuqing breaks through to the second grade, the success rate is still not high. But now that Master Li is leaving and the other two Lin Qing are not at ease, it's better to let Lin Xuqing refine them.

After speaking, Lin Qing put the Foundation Building herbs back into the storage bag and then walked out of the room with his three sons.

Although the three sons who walked out of the house maintained calm expressions, they couldn't hide their joy.
