I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 105: Chè Yùn's Foundation Building

One day later, Lin Qing looked towards the residence of Zhao Xiu, which was originally where Chè Yùn lived. He saw that the spiritual energy in the sky was unusually active. After a full quarter of an hour, the abnormality gradually calmed down. He felt delighted in his heart. Chè Yùn had successfully achieved Foundation Building.

Chè Yùn returned to his residence, and when Lin Qing looked at him, not only was there a joyful expression on his face, but he also appeared much younger. His cultivation had naturally reached Foundation Building.

"Good," Lin Qing nodded and said.

As a Four Spiritual Roots cultivator and an alchemist, Chè Yùn's successful Foundation Building held great significance for Lin Qing's family.

Before they could offer their congratulations, Li Qingyu, who was at home, came out. However, she had failed to make a breakthrough.

Not only did she fail to make a breakthrough, but she also didn't even trigger any spiritual energy anomalies. Lin Qing sighed, and Li Qingyu instantly seemed to have aged significantly. This was especially evident when compared to Chè Yùn, who had successfully achieved Foundation Building.

"Qingyu, achieving Foundation Building is an extremely difficult task. There's no need to be sad," Lin Qing said.

Li Qingyu nodded, looking at Lin Qing, but she didn't say anything. It was true that failure shouldn't be a cause for sadness, but who could avoid feeling sad?

After a while, Li Qingyu stared blankly at Lin Xuzé and Lin Xuchang, Lin Qing knew what Li Qingyu was thinking. She was thinking that the pills were better off given to Lin Xuzé and Lin Xuchang, as they would be wasted on her.

Lin Qing held Li Qingyu's hand and squeezed it tightly without saying a word.

Then, the whole family looked towards Lin Xuchang, who was in Zhao Xiu's original residence. At this moment, spiritual energy anomalies had already appeared in the vicinity of his residence. The spiritual energy gradually became denser. Lin Qing's family held their breath. This was the most critical moment. If he could successfully make a breakthrough, Lin Qing's family would have three Foundation Building cultivators.

But...

The spiritual energy didn't gather for long before it dissipated in an instant.

"Ah," Li Qingyu sighed. Not only had she failed to make a breakthrough, but her eldest son, Lin Xuchang, had also failed.

"Dad, I..." After a moment, Lin Xuchang, who had returned home from the next room, looked at Lin Qing, not knowing what to say. Lin Qing comfortingly patted his shoulder, feeling calm in his heart.

After all, Lin Xuchang had Five Spiritual Roots, and the chances of success were already slim. Failure was to be expected. In fact, it was a miracle that he could achieve Foundation Building.

Lin Qing himself was able to achieve Foundation Building because his aptitude was changed by the Goldfinger.

In the cultivation world, the influence of spiritual roots was not an empty statement.

Five Spiritual Roots were actually fundamentally incompatible with Foundation Building. Lin Qing knew this from the fact that he gave the pill to Lin Xuchang.

But he still gave it to him.

However, out of the three Foundation Building pills this time, only one was successful. A success rate of one in three was already very good.

Foundation Building pills only increased the success rate of Foundation Building, not guaranteeing a hundred percent success.

Lin Qing had heard before that in a certain family, five Qi Refining cultivators at the ninth level had taken Foundation Building pills consecutively, but none of them successfully achieved Foundation Building. That was truly a tragedy, and the family declined rapidly due to the enormous cost of Foundation Building pills.

This time, Che Yun successfully reached Foundation Building, which can be said to have greatly strengthened the power of his family.

Thinking about the two Foundation Building grasses that will follow, Lin Qing is full of anticipation for the future. Lin Xuzhe has four spiritual roots, Lin Xuyuan has five spiritual roots, and Lin Xuqing has three spiritual roots. If the three of them can successfully break through again, it can be said that the power of their family will be considered top-notch among the Zhao family.

After Che Yun's successful breakthrough, just like Lin Qing before, many people came to congratulate him. However, when they learned that they were Lin Qing's wives and concubines, they all ended up congratulating Lin Qing instead.

In the eyes of some people, Lin Qing's weight has increased significantly. Not only is he at the Foundation Building stage himself, but he is also a formation master. His wives and concubines are also at the Foundation Building stage. With these multiple advantages, Lin Qing's treatment is almost comparable to that of a late Foundation Building cultivator.

The next day, Hua Xiu, who had previously met Lin Qing, also came to congratulate him.

Lin Qing was somewhat surprised by this. Who is Hua Xiu? Although they had spent two days together on the flying boat before, Hua Xiu's identity in the Chiyang Immortal City was extremely noble. He was a disciple of Daoist Chiyang, and countless people wanted to establish a connection with him. Lin Qing's family breaking through to Foundation Building was enough for Hua Xiu to come and congratulate him, which made Lin Qing think more.

Sure enough, in his words, Hua Xiu still wanted Lin Qing to join the Chiyang Immortal City. Hua Xiu even said that he would take special care of Lin Qing after he joined.

However, Lin Qing refused Hua Xiu. Considering their previous encounter on the flying boat, Hua Xiu didn't say much and left.

But this reminded Lin Qing that if they were to have more family members breaking through to Foundation Building in the future, it would probably not be so simple.

Perhaps the breakthroughs of the other sons should be done outside?

Lin Qing thought to himself.

There are still disadvantages to not having their own foundation. In someone else's territory, they are restricted in many ways.

Being weak is a crime, but being powerful is also a kind of crime. It's never good.

Afterwards, Che Yun chose a second-tier cultivation technique obtained from the Wu family's cemetery as his cultivation technique after Foundation Building. This technique is helpful for alchemy and is suitable for Che Yun.

Although this cultivation technique is only second-tier, for Che Yun, breaking through to Foundation Building is a great joy. Zi Fu didn't even hesitate.

In the past half month, the matter of Che Yun's breakthrough gradually faded away. During this period, some people came to ask where Lin Qing obtained the Foundation Building pill, and some even inquired about Lin Qing's alchemy at Master Li Dan's place.

In response, Lin Qing explained that he obtained the pill at a high cost. Lin Qing's strength as a formation master has been known to many people over the years, so they didn't doubt his words.

Two years have passed, and Lin Qing's family has collected a complete set of materials for Foundation Building pills. Compared to before, these materials are even more difficult to collect. In addition to the Foundation Building grass, other materials for making Foundation Building pills are also restricted. However, Lin Qing had materials obtained from the storage bag of a mid-Foundation Building cultivator, which made up for a lot.

Although the materials were fully collected and Lin Xuqing had just reached the strength of a lower-grade pill master at the second-tier, it would still take a few more years to refine the Foundation Building pill. Lin Xuqing needed to practice with other pills first, otherwise the success rate would be too low.

In response, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuyuan were willing to wait.

Another three years passed, and on this day, Lin Xuqing officially started refining pills.

For this pill refinement, he chose a 300-year-old Foundation Building grass, leaving the 500-year-old one for next time. In addition to the Foundation Building grass, all the other necessary materials were ready. In front of Lin Xuqing was a second-tier high-grade pill furnace that Lin Qing had bought at a high price, which greatly improved the success rate of refining Foundation Building pills. Lin Xuqing had also refined many second-tier low-grade pills in the past three years, so the overall success rate was not low.

With everything prepared, Lin Xuqing closed the door and began refining pills.

Outside, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuyuan were both excited. Needless to say, if a Foundation Building pill was successfully refined, it would belong to the two of them. They were already fifty-one years old, and in the mortal world, they probably would have had grandchildren by now. But at this moment, they were waiting for a pill the size of a thumb. They had been waiting for this pill for many years, and their temples had turned slightly gray, but their hearts were still burning with excitement.
