I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 106: Producing the Foundation Building Pill

After all, this pill called the Foundation Building Pill is not just a pill for any Qi Refining ninth-level cultivator. It is an opportunity to test the first half of their life and determine the second half.

For several consecutive days, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuyuan were particularly anxious while waiting. But for many wandering cultivators, there was nowhere to wait.

After a full seven days, Lin Xuqing's door slowly opened. Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuyuan, who had been waiting outside, felt a chill in their hearts. Lin Xuqing's face was serious and somewhat disappointed.

"Xuqing, what happened?" Lin Qing asked as he walked forward. It doesn't seem like he failed, right?

"I..." Lin Xuqing couldn't speak for a moment.

Lin Qing looked at Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuyuan, and all three of them had a bad feeling. Although there was still one Foundation Building herb left, if this one couldn't be refined, the other one after refining might not be enough.

"Ah!" Lin Xuqing sighed again and took out a Foundation Building Pill. "I'm really sorry. I thought I could refine at least two, but in the end, there's only one. I apologize to both of you."

"Having one is still good." Lin Qing spoke up.

Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuyuan also relaxed a bit. Although there was only one pill, it was normal. Refining the Foundation Building Pill was an unpredictable matter. The highest one could produce three at once, and sometimes not even one. Having one or two pills was considered normal. It was the same for second-grade pill masters. It was acceptable.

And Lin Xuqing, who had just broken through to become a second-grade lower-level pill master a few years ago, was already impressive to be able to successfully refine it.

"Xuqing, you've worked hard." Lin Qing said.

However, Lin Xuqing shook his head at this moment. In his opinion, even if he couldn't reach Li Dan's three pills this time, he should have at least two. But in the end, there was only one, and he was somewhat disappointed.

Looking at Lin Xuqing, Lin Qing didn't say anything else. His son had an extraordinary persistence in pill refining.

After handing the Foundation Building Pill to Lin Qing, Lin Xuqing sat on the side and started to think. He recalled the situation when he observed pill refining at Li Dan's place several years ago, and also recalled his own pill refining process in the past few days. As he thought about it, he suddenly became excited.

"So that's how it is. I understand now."

Lin Xuqing seemed to have figured something out and then looked at Lin Qing, saying, "Dad, if I refine it again next time, I'm confident that I can produce at least two pills."

"Hmm? That's good." Lin Qing nodded, but didn't say much. Producing the Foundation Building Pill is not that easy. If he could be confident in producing at least two pills every time, then Foundation Building cultivators wouldn't be so rare now.

After Lin Xuqing finished speaking, he fell into contemplation. Lin Qing didn't disturb him and instead looked at Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuyuan with the Foundation Building Pill in his hand. If there were two pills, the two brothers wouldn't need to share, but now there was only one.

At this moment, seeing the look in Lin Qing's eyes, before Lin Qing could speak, Lin Xuyuan said, "Father, give this Foundation Building Pill to my brother."

Lin Qing looked at Lin Xuzhe again. Lin Xuzhe's lips moved slightly but he didn't say anything. Instead, he heavily patted Lin Xuyuan's shoulder with his lonely arm, conveying everything without words. Lin Xuyuan smiled, Lin Qing also smiled, and then Lin Qing gave the Foundation Building Pill to Lin Xuzhe.

"Xuzhe, you can break through first this time," Lin Qing said.

Lin Xuzhe took the pill, nodded, and stared at the Foundation Building Pill with a determined gaze. "I will definitely break through," he said.

Seeing this, Lin Qing quickly said, "Xuzhe, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Lin Xuzhe smiled at Lin Qing and didn't say much.

Because of the matter of breaking through with the Chariot Rhyme, Lin Qing didn't want Lin Xuzhe to break through in Chiyang City. If the breakthrough failed, it goes without saying that it would be bad. And if the breakthrough succeeded, it would not be advantageous for the people in Chiyang City to know that Lin Qing's family had another Foundation Building cultivator. Although Lin Qing had some relationship with Hua Xiu, he didn't want him to come to his residence again.

The most crucial point was that in the current scarcity of Foundation Building Pills, Lin Qing, as a wandering cultivator, continuously supplied his family with Foundation Building Pills, which naturally made people think.

If they didn't break through in Chiyang City, they would have to find another place. But to break through to Foundation Building, not only did they need Foundation Building Pills, but they also needed sufficient spiritual veins. At the very least, they needed second-grade inferior spiritual veins in order to gather enough spiritual energy during the breakthrough. It wasn't something that could be done just anywhere.

The current Chiyang Immortal City was built on a third-grade spiritual vein, with seven or eight branches of second-grade spiritual veins. The place Lin Qing's family rented was located on one of these second-grade spiritual veins, with abundant spiritual energy.

It can be said that in Chiyang Immortal City, these second-grade spiritual veins were not lacking at all, so there was no need to worry about the breakthrough.

But outside, a second-grade spiritual vein was extremely precious.

Many families had second-grade spiritual veins, but how could they let an outsider break through on their spiritual veins? That was impossible. In Chiyang Immortal City, because the second-grade spiritual veins were all branches of the third-grade spiritual vein, the impact of absorbing spiritual energy after breaking through Foundation Building was not significant. But on some individual second-grade spiritual veins, breaking through to Foundation Building would absorb a large amount of spiritual energy, which might take several years to recover. It had a significant impact on the spiritual veins. Who would be willing to let their own spiritual veins be used by outsiders for breakthroughs?

Thinking about it one by one, Lin Qing wanted to find a place where Lin Xuzhe could break through, but recalling his many years of experience in setting up formations, Lin Qing found that it was not easy to find such a suitable place.

Each of the second-grade spiritual veins outside had an owner, either belonging to a family or a market. It was inconvenient for Lin Xuzhe to break through on them.

If it were Lin Xuyuan and Lin Xuqing, there might still be some ways. They could disguise themselves in Chiyang Immortal City, rent a residence, and break through. After the breakthrough, it would be difficult for others to see through them. But Lin Xuzhe had previously lost an arm, which was too obvious. This method was simply not feasible.

Suddenly, Lin Qing thought of someone.

He remembered that he had set up a gathering formation for a Foundation Building cultivator who was also a refiner. The place where that cultivator lived had a second-grade inferior spiritual vein, and that person was particularly kind and also a wandering cultivator. If he paid a certain price, he should be able to let Lin Xuzhe break through.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing immediately prepared some refining materials and spiritual stones, and then went to visit.

This was a spiritual mountain. The refiner cultivator lived on top of the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, there were many wandering cultivators gathering, benefiting from the overflowing spiritual energy. Lin Qing remembered that when he set up the formation here, he also saw a female cultivator named Xiuyun.

At that time, there weren't many wandering cultivators gathered at the foot of the mountain, but when Lin Qing came this time, he was surprised to find that there were probably more than a hundred wandering cultivators gathered here, which was comparable to the Qingmuji back then. Lin Qing thought to himself that he didn't know if the spiritual energy that overflowed here would be enough for so many people, but then he thought again, regardless of whether it was enough or not, this spiritual energy was free, and free things were the most attractive.
