I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 112: Three Pills

When Lin Qing heard Lin Xuchang's question, he whispered, "Dad, there are rumors that this might be the work of Baibao Tower. Before, when Chiyang Immortal City didn't have this shop, Baibao Tower had the best business. But now that this shop exists, Baibao Tower's business has declined significantly. It is said that they sent people to do this, and all the people they sent were killed in the explosion. Chiyang Immortal City has no way to find them."

"Baibao Tower," Lin Qing repeated.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing felt it was unlikely. If it was the work of the three major sects, he would believe it, but Baibao Tower was just a commercial guild. Although they had great influence, they wouldn't dare to go this far. Moreover, their guild was spread across five or six countries. Was Chiyang Immortal City really that important to them? Was it worth their effort?

Lin Qing thought it was impossible. After all, in the current Upper Cloud State, Zhao Country was considered a weak country, and the overall strength of cultivation in the country was not that strong.

In the entire Cloud State, there were now seventeen countries, and the Cloud State was divided into Upper, Middle, and Lower Cloud States, with the division only indicating their geographical locations and not carrying any other meaning. Zhao Country was located in the Upper Cloud State and was considered one of the weakest among the five countries in the Upper Cloud State.

Baibao Tower's influence was spread throughout the entire Upper Cloud State, and its influence even extended to the Middle Cloud State. A mere Chiyang Immortal City was not worth their effort. Even if Chiyang Immortal City relied on recruiting scattered cultivators and developing resources to become a new force in the future, it would not affect their business at all.

In Lin Qing's opinion, the three major sects of Zhao Country were undoubtedly the most feared by Chiyang Immortal City. He even thought that perhaps all three major sects were involved in this matter. Judging from the scale of the explosion, although it was large, it was still controllable. It should be a warning.

With many thoughts in his mind, Lin Qing didn't voice these ideas. It was enough for him to think about them in his heart.

As for how Chiyang Immortal City would respond next, Lin Qing was curious to see.

Because there were problems with the acquired materials and the person selling the materials was killed in the explosion, Chiyang Immortal City did not make a big fuss in the city because of this incident. Everything quickly returned to normal.

Lin Qing returned to the inner city with Lin Xuen brothers. The inner city was calm and peaceful, as if the explosion had never happened.

After a month of Chao Yun's departure, Lin Qing's family finally completed the acquisition of the third set of materials. Thanks to the explosion, some scattered cultivators were eager to sell, so the materials were easier to collect than before.

After collecting the materials, the next step was alchemy. This time, the main ingredient was the 500-year-old Foundation Building Grass. The pills this time should be of good quality.

After years of accumulation, Lin Xueqing's alchemy skills had become more proficient and confident. Before entering the pill room with the materials, he smiled at Lin Qing and the others who were waiting outside.

Seven days passed. When the door of the pill room opened again, Lin Xueqing's face revealed an even brighter smile.

"Dad, I didn't disappoint you," Lin Xueqing said to Lin Qing. Lin Qing was also delighted. Did Lin Xueqing successfully refine two pills this time? After all, he was extremely disappointed with the previous one.

Thinking that there were two pills, Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that the Qi Refining Ninth Layer in their family now had Foundation Building Pills. Even if they might need Foundation Building Pills in the future, they wouldn't be in such a hurry.

In other words, with these two Foundation Building Pills, Lin Qing's family wouldn't have to worry about this matter for the next twenty or thirty years. Even if they needed Foundation Building Pills in twenty or thirty years, with Lin Qing's family and the spiritual herbs they had started cultivating, they should be able to collect more than they could now. These years, collecting these three sets of materials had truly exhausted Lin Qing.

Lin Xuyuan also smiled at this moment. With the successful alchemy, he could also attempt Foundation Building.

Although he had Five Spiritual Roots, he was much more confident because his older brother Lin Xueze had succeeded before him, even though Lin Xueze had Four Spiritual Roots.

Lin Xueqing took out the pills, which he had already put into a box. Lin Qing took a look and suddenly froze.

"One, two, three, three pills?"

Lin Qing looked at Lin Xuqing, who smiled and said, "Father, it's three pills. The success rate of pill formation is quite good, and because the grass used for Foundation Building is of a high vintage, these three pills are even more effective than the ones we made last time, with an additional 20% efficacy."

"This..."

Lin Qing looked at the pills, then at Lin Xuqing, and in that moment, her heart was filled with excitement. She couldn't help but hug Lin Xuqing.

"You, Xuqing, you're amazing."

Lin Qing said happily, and as Lin Xuqing was embraced by Lin Qing, he felt a sense of pride in his eyes.

"Three pills."

Lin Xuyuan muttered this number, his gaze also filled with excitement, and then he stepped forward and hugged Lin Xuqing.

At this moment, Lin Xuqing was enjoying this moment. For him, today would be an important milestone in his alchemy career.

After a while, Lin Qing gradually calmed down and looked at the three pills. Her face returned to calmness, and she said to Lin Xuqing and Lin Xuyuan, "Now that we have three Foundation Building pills, this is a great thing. However, I think it's better to wait for some time before taking them. Half a year or a year is fine. With the recent incident in Chiyang Immortal City, we should still keep a low profile."

Lin Xuyuan nodded. For him, having the pills was enough. What's half a year?

Lin Xuqing also nodded. Although he was immersed in alchemy, he also knew that things seemed unstable outside in recent years, especially the explosion a month ago, which even shocked him inside the house.

Looking at the pills, Lin Qing gave them to Lin Xuqing again.

"Xuqing, you stay at home most of the time, so you should keep them for now. I'm afraid they won't be safe on me."

Three Foundation Building pills made Lin Qing hesitate to keep them. Their value was just too high. It was better for Lin Xuqing, who was at home, to keep them.

Now their residence not only had defensive formations, but also had Che Yun at home. It could be said to be safer than on Lin Qing.

Lin Xuqing nodded and took the pills.

"Then I'll keep them for now. After half a year, Brother Xuyuan and I will take them."

"Okay."

Lin Qing nodded.

As for the remaining pill, Lin Qing hadn't decided how to handle it yet. For Qi Refining cultivators, it was not impossible to break through Foundation Building again as long as they had Foundation Building pills and their bodies could keep up, even if they broke through three or four times in a row. Li Qingyu and Lin Xuchang had both failed to break through, so theoretically they could try again.

But Lin Qing thought about it and decided not to mention it for now. He would first see how Lin Xuyuan and Lin Xuqing's breakthroughs went.

After another month passed, Chiyang Immortal City seemed to have no reaction to the explosion. The destroyed shops were not rebuilt, and no one knew what they were thinking.

In Lin Qing's opinion, they were probably taking time to recover. This explosion had indeed caused a lot of damage to their strength.

Because of the Foundation Building pills, Lin Qing hadn't gone out during this period, but instead planned how her two sons could break through. Last time, Lin Xuzhe borrowed the spiritual mountain from the refiner cultivator to break through. This time, she had to come up with another solution. And in Lin Qing's opinion, it would be best to keep Lin Xuyuan and Lin Xuqing in Chiyang Immortal City. The spiritual energy here was abundant after all, and it wasn't easy to find a second-order spiritual vein outside.
