I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 109: Actions of Chiyang Immortal City

Currently, the three major sects in the Zhao Kingdom are evenly matched, and Chiyang Immortal City, although powerful, is not a match for these three sects. Previously, each of the three sects had their own territories and markets. Now, Xuan Yu Market of the Wuji Sect has fallen, breaking this balance and potentially leading to unfavorable future developments.

Over the years, according to Lin Qing's observations, Chiyang Immortal City has attracted more wandering cultivators than before. Zhao Kingdom wouldn't suddenly have so many wandering cultivators, so those who come to Chiyang Immortal City must have migrated from other markets. This has contributed to the prosperity of Chiyang Immortal City, but it also reflects the decline of other markets.

In the past, wandering cultivators were spread throughout the Zhao Kingdom, but now they are leaning towards Chiyang Immortal City. For the sects, this is not a good thing. Especially for the Wuji Sect, which is the farthest from Chiyang Immortal City, they have suffered the most loss of wandering cultivators in their territory. Whether it was the Qingmu Market in the past or the Xuan Yu Market, it was a significant blow to the Wuji Sect. Perhaps the situation of the Wuji Sect will become common in the future.

A large number of wandering cultivators, as the bottom layer of the cultivation world, function like lubricants that keep the cultivation world running smoothly. Their tentacles are everywhere, and although they may be small, they are the most sensitive to danger. They cannot be compared to the cultivators who meditate in the sects. Faced with the unstable situation in the Zhao Kingdom, Chiyang Immortal City may attract more cultivators in the future.

"Dad?" Lin Xuen noticed Lin Qing's silence and called out to him.

"Oh, it's nothing." Lin Qing snapped out of his thoughts and smiled at Lin Xuen.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. Your mother has already arranged your room."

"Okay, Dad." Lin Xuen nodded.

The night passed, and early in the morning, Chao Yun started talking to Lin Xuen again, as if he had countless things to say after a night of contemplation. No one else could get a word in.

Although Lin Qing missed Lin Xuen very much, he expressed it in a different way. He specially bought some elixirs for Lin Xuen, which could be taken by mortals and had the effect of prolonging life.

Lin Xuen ate some and saved some for later.

What surprised Lin Qing was that seven days after Lin Xuen arrived in Chiyang Immortal City, the city opened its doors to recruit cultivators. Chiyang Immortal City not only recruited Foundation Building cultivators, but also some promising Qi Refining wandering cultivators.

According to them, once they joined Chiyang Immortal City, Foundation Building cultivators would have access to spiritual stones and spiritual veins, as well as other abundant resources. As for Qi Refining cultivators, as long as they made contributions, they had the opportunity to obtain Foundation Building Pills.

For a while, the Qi Refining wandering cultivators in Chiyang Immortal City were excited, and countless numbers of them wanted to join.

However, there weren't many Foundation Building cultivators.

Lin Qing had already thought about this, so he wasn't too surprised. With the increasing number of wandering cultivators in Chiyang Immortal City and the increasingly unstable situation, recruiting cultivators was a natural move. This not only strengthened the power of Chiyang Immortal City, but also benefited the wandering cultivators. It was a win-win situation.

The only downside was that the more cultivators joined Chiyang Immortal City in the future, the less friendly they would be towards those who didn't join.

Lin Qing even thought to himself that if one day Chiyang Immortal City suddenly established a sect, those who didn't join would probably be kicked out.

However, Lin Qing was just thinking about it. It's not easy to establish a sect. Daoist Chiyang is indeed powerful, but he doesn't have any extra resources outside of Chiyang Immortal City. The other three major sects won't let him establish one either. If it were so easy to establish a sect, the great Zhao country wouldn't only have three major sects now.

What Lin Qing didn't expect was that Master Hua had a new identity in this recruitment - he was the deputy city lord of Chiyang Immortal City. His cultivation level had also advanced from the mid-stage of Foundation Building to the late-stage of Foundation Building. In Chiyang Immortal City, he became a thigh second only to Daoist Chiyang.

As for Daoist Chiyang's other disciple, his cultivation level was still in the mid-stage of Foundation Building, and he was not the deputy city lord this time.

If Lin Qing had been willing to accept Master Hua's recruitment before, with Master Hua's current identity, he would probably have a high status in Chiyang Immortal City now. But Lin Qing had no regrets about this. Everything has its pros and cons, and for him, it is more important to maintain his own identity.

He doesn't lack anything now, and joining any force would only hinder his actions. Although the position of Deputy City Lord held by Master Hua looks glamorous, there are countless eyes watching him. Not to mention, are all the scattered cultivators who joined Chiyang Immortal City really devoted to Chiyang Immortal City? Or are they all just seeking personal gain?

As for his own cultivation, it would probably take him another seven or eight years to reach the mid-stage of Foundation Building. But this is already quite fast. In Lin Qing's original plan, after reaching the third level of Foundation Building, it would take at least twenty years to break through to the fourth level of Foundation Building, which is the mid-stage of Foundation Building.

But after marrying Xiao Qian and Xiao Wei last time, he made up for the shortcomings of his Metal and Earth Spiritual Roots, and his cultivation speed greatly increased. Now his Metal and Earth Spiritual Roots have reached the peak level, and combined with his already peak level Bamboo and Fire Spiritual Roots, his aptitude is between Triple Spiritual Roots and Dual Spiritual Roots.

In the future, if his Metal and Earth Spiritual Roots also reach the peak level, and he activates the Integrated Union, his aptitude will further improve, perhaps reaching an unimaginable level in the future.

So, on ordinary nights, Lin Qing often goes to Xiao Qian and Xiao Wei's room, even if his waist is sore, he is not afraid, all for the sake of cultivation.

The recruitment of Chiyang Immortal City lasted for three months and ended. It is said that they have recruited seven or eight Foundation Building cultivators and more than two hundred Qi Refining scattered cultivators. Coupled with the group of cultivators who had previously joined Daoist Chiyang, there are probably more than five hundred cultivators belonging to Chiyang Immortal City.

And these cultivators will be supported by Chiyang Immortal City. Lin Qing thinks that Chiyang Immortal City will probably have to increase its rent.

Sure enough, after another month, the rent in the city increased.

However, his housing did not increase. Lin Qing specifically sent Lin Xuchang to inquire about it, only to learn that it was Master Hua's care, and he said that his residence and shop would not increase in the future.

Regarding this, Lin Qing sighed.

He understood that this was Master Hua's intentional goodwill, but he really didn't want to join this Chiyang Immortal City.

Time passed quickly, and Lin Xuen soon lived in Chiyang Immortal City for half a year. On this day, Lin Qing saw Chao Yun asking about Lin Xuen again, so he asked Lin Xueze, who was outside the city, to go and bring Lin Xuen back.

The address given by Lin Xuen was a small town called Sanshan in the Zhao country, which was a full seven thousand miles away. It was not close at all, but from the map, it was not far from Qingmuji, about three to four hundred miles.

After Lin Xueze received Lin Qing's instructions, he quickly went to pick him up.
