I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 12: Teaching Formation Techniques

Lin Qing pondered for a while, looking at this powerful formation. It was impossible for him to abandon it, but creating it was also out of the question. He found himself in a dilemma.

Perhaps, could this formation be dismantled?

Suddenly, an idea popped into Lin Qing's mind. The formation was called the Seven Linked Water Formation, which required seven people to use. If it could be dismantled and turned into a Two Linked Water Formation or a Three Linked Water Formation, he could try to create it himself, and the cost would not be high.

"Hiss!"

Lin Qing was surprised by his own idea.

Before long, he decided to try to dismantle and create this formation in the future. Although his cultivation level was not high, only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, his formation cultivation had already reached the first-grade superior level, which many late-stage Qi Refining formation masters couldn't achieve.

Moreover, dismantling and simplifying a formation was much simpler than creating a new one.

Putting away the initial understanding of the formation, Lin Qing fell asleep that night in a strange excitement. He had a feeling that his idea might be right.

The next day, Lin Qing bought the necessary materials and tried them out. If Qingmuji didn't have them, he tried to exchange them with similar materials. Dismantling this Seven Linked Water Formation was not only for successful creation but also to hone his own formation cultivation. Goldfinger had brought him great benefits, but he also had to work hard himself.

With the Xuanmu Formation and the Falling Stone Formation, he had the ability to continuously experiment and make mistakes, at least within a controllable range.

His formations had gained quite a reputation in Qingmuji. Last time, someone used his Falling Stone Formation to kill two mid-stage Qi Refining demonic beasts in one go, causing a sensation. It was worth noting that the Falling Stone Formation only cost twenty spirit stones, while two mid-stage Qi Refining demonic beasts could be sold for about twelve or thirteen spirit stones. The math was not difficult to calculate.

Moreover, the Xuanmu Formation was also very powerful. Some people had used it to assist in killing demonic beasts, so its sales had always been good.

That day, when Lin Qing was making formations in the back, Li Qingyu, who was helping to lay them out in the front, suddenly knocked on his door.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qing thought there might be something urgent.

"Somebody wants to buy the Concealment Formation. I don't know what kind of formation it is, but he said he bought it here before and asked me to ask you." Li Qingyu spoke up.

"Concealment Formation?" Lin Qing was a little surprised. He did sell that formation before, but he stopped selling it after he made the Xuanmu Formation and the Falling Stone Formation. After all, no one was buying the Concealment Formation, and the profit was too low.

"I'll go take a look." Lin Qing said. Originally, he could have just let Li Qingyu reject the person directly, but since this person had bought from him before, he decided to go and see.

"Fellow Daoist, do you still have the Concealment Formation?" Just as Lin Qing came out, a second-level Qi Refining cultivator standing by the stall asked.

Lin Qing thought for a moment and didn't recognize this person, but since he had come, he took out a set of Concealment Formation from his storage bag. After all, he didn't need it anymore.

"Fellow Daoist, it's this formation. Two spirit stones, right?" The cultivator's eyes lit up, and he smiled.

"Yes." Hearing the cultivator's words, Lin Qing nodded in response.

Although he didn't value this business now, if he was going to sell it, he would definitely be honest and not engage in temporary price increases.

"These are two spirit stones."

Taking the spirit stones handed over by the person, Lin Qing handed over the formation. As he watched the person leave and looked at Li Qingyu beside him, Lin Qing suddenly thought of something.

"Qingyu, would you like to learn formation techniques from me?"

"What? Me?" Li Qingyu was a little surprised. Generally speaking, in the cultivation world, cultivation techniques were something one had to learn on their own. Few people were willing to teach others, as it was said that teaching an apprentice would starve the master.

But Lin Qing didn't think so. Now, he spent a lot of time making the Xuanmu Formation, the Falling Stone Formation, and researching the Seven Linked Water Formation. Before, no one bought them, but now someone wanted to buy the Concealment Formation, which meant that there was still a market for it. But he didn't want to waste time making it himself anymore. Teaching Li Qingyu and letting her make it would be a good thing, and there would be benefits as well. It could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

As for the expenses before the church, he can afford them.

"Are you willing?" Lin Qing asked again.

"Husband, of course I am willing," Li Qingyu said excitedly.

From that day on, Lin Qing would spend half an hour every day teaching Li Qingyu formation making. Li Qingyu also learned quickly. With the guidance of a first-class formation master, it only took her less than a month to achieve a balance in the income and expenses of the Concealment Formation. Of course, this was also because the Concealment Formation was relatively simple.

After learning it, Li Qingyu added the words "selling Concealment Formation" to the signboard of the shop. To Lin Qing's surprise, they sold two sets within a month.

This made him wonder why it was so difficult to sell them in the beginning. Was it because Li Qingyu was beautiful, or was there another reason? Lin Qing couldn't figure it out.

As the seasons changed, Lin Xuen had already turned one year old. Lin Qing, Chao Yun, and Li Qingyu held a first birthday banquet for him in the courtyard. When Lin Xuen called him "father" while eating, it made Lin Qing extremely happy. He drank a lot of alcohol that day and almost got drunk.

After Lin Xuen turned one year old, Lin Qing made great progress.

[Formation Master: First-class (8503/50000)]

[Water Elemental Root: Intermediate (6943/10000)]

[Wood Elemental Root: Intermediate (6932/10000)]

Although he had not successfully dismantled the Seven Consecutive Water Formation, it was not far from being able to control the Two Consecutive Water Formation. His cultivation had also reached the fifth level of Qi Refining half a month ago. Li Qingyu had also reached the third level of Qi Refining four months ago.

He had done a booming business in formation making this year, accumulating over two hundred spirit stones. Many of them were used for cultivation. If he didn't cultivate, he would probably have even more.

The next day, when he woke up and thought about his child calling him "father" yesterday, Lin Qing's excitement had not subsided, but he soon became worried.

The formation shop had attracted a lot of attention due to its good business. A Qi Refining seventh-level cultivator who was in charge of managing Qingmu Market came to him a few days ago and said that he should not have connected the two shops at the back, as it was against the rules.

In response to this, Lin Qing had no choice but to spend money to resolve the issue. Although he had promised to restore it to its original state if it was not rented out when he registered, arguing with a cultivator at the later stage of Qi Refining would be futile, especially since he was also responsible for managing the market.

This was not the most serious matter, after all, he was the visible manager and had to follow certain rules. Others didn't have it so easy.

Thinking of the envious looks coming from outside the door from time to time, Lin Qing decided to buy more things.

Spirit stones were always just spirit stones.

On this day, Lin Qing first spent 120 spirit stones to reserve a first-class intermediate-grade defensive magic weapon and bought a first-class lower-grade sword. He would use the defensive magic weapon himself, while the sword would be used by Li Qingyu.

In order to enhance their strength faster, Lin Qing also bought pills for Li Qingyu. If she broke through to the middle stage of Qi Refining earlier, she would have an additional force that couldn't be ignored. By then, they could switch to intermediate-grade magic weapons and have a sparring match even with the later stage of Qi Refining.

However, although Li Qingyu had four elemental roots, her aptitude was not good enough to surpass him.

To break through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level, it would take at least two years.

Thinking of this gap, Lin Qing spent a lot of money to buy nearly a hundred intermediate-grade talismans, directly emptying the three talisman shops in Qingmu Market.

As for high-grade talismans, they were not available in Qingmu Market at all.

These intermediate-grade talismans included Fireball Talismans, which cost three spirit stones for one, Thornwood Talismans, which cost two spirit stones for one, and Firebird Talismans, which cost one spirit stone for two. They were all offensive talismans, with Fireball Talismans being the most numerous.

After buying these talismans, the number of curious onlookers at the door decreased significantly.

Lin Qing also estimated that once his Water Elemental Root and Wood Elemental Root were both upgraded to high-grade, his aptitude should be similar to someone with four elemental roots. His cultivation speed would further increase, so he and Li Qingyu were always busy.
