I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 126: One-Armed Old Demon?

Lin Qing and Lin Xuzhe spent a month recruiting outside and managed to recruit over four thousand people. Lin Qing decided to stop there, as these mortals were enough. As for Lin Xuzhe, he would continue recruiting for a while longer, but now he was recruiting people with skills. Previously, they had focused on recruiting people and neglected to fill in the gaps in certain areas with the appropriate professionals. Lin Xuzhe would now work on rectifying this.

As for Lin Qing, he returned to the Lin family's mountain and, after going through the mortal workers' tasks, began to carefully study the future family industry.

In this area, there were six secondary main veins and thirteen supporting veins, like roots, covering the surrounding thirteen mountains. In terms of location, if we take Qingmuji as an example, it is located northeast of Qingmuji, about 150 miles away horizontally, and about 100 miles away in a straight line from the outside of the mountain.

Among them, the second-grade superior main vein is located in the center of a large mountain. This place will be the future location of the Lin family. Lin Qing had already decided that outsiders would not be allowed to enter.

The second-grade inferior supporting veins are located to the north, encompassing three mountains. One of the mountains will serve as a future market, with roads to be built to connect it with the outside world. The other two mountains can be used for spiritual fields or planting spiritual plants.

To the west, there is a first-grade medium-grade spiritual vein, covering one mountain. The future Lin family city will be established here. After establishing the city, it can expand to the surrounding areas, cultivate fields, and allow mortals to farm. After all, recruiting so many mortals means that their lives must be taken care of, and the climate in the mountains is a test for mortals.

To the south, there are two first-grade superior supporting veins, encompassing five mountains. These can be developed as family industries in the future, but currently, there are not enough manpower.

There are also two first-grade medium-grade supporting veins extending to the east, but these two veins are relatively close to the main vein. They can be used for the residence of the family's descendants in the future.

A total of thirteen mountains, the area of which is comparable to any mortal city, slightly larger than the Chiyang Immortal City.

Now, after cutting down the trees and having the mortals build their dwellings, Lin Qing drew several lines on the map. The first thing to do is to connect the Lin family city with the future market, which means building roads. Not only do they need to build roads between the mountains, but they also need to build a road connecting to the outside world. This is the most urgent matter at present.

After thinking it through, Lin Qing flew into the air and looked around once again.

Looking at the mortals working in the mountains, Lin Qing's eyes were filled with satisfaction. These mortals were all building for his Lin family. Thinking about the future, this scene would continue for many years, perhaps even for generations. Lin Qing felt a surge of excitement.

This is not the effort of one person, but the lasting power of a family.

Working for generations, opening up new territories, daring to change the appearance of mountains and ridges. This place, the Lin family mountain, will nurture the Lin family for generations to come.

The names of kings and nobles will be passed down through the ages, and the name of the family will flourish for ten thousand years.

As Lin Qing looked at this world, his heart had long transcended beyond this world.

Everything in the world has its own pursuit. The ants on the ground seek food all day, and the geese in the sky gaze into the distance. When he was in Qingmuji, Lin Qing never thought of this day, let alone the Lin family mountain or the matters of future generations. He only thought about those few spiritual stones. But after the changes in the world, his thoughts have become much broader, and his pursuits have become grand.

And at this moment, he also realized that everything was not so far out of reach.

In the days that followed, Lin Qing immersed himself in cultivation. It was good to have a broad vision, but the road had to be taken step by step.

His cultivation had now reached the mid-stage of Foundation Building. He still needed to focus his energy on cultivation in order to have stronger power than before. Otherwise, it would be the most frustrating thing to have a disconnect between his strength and his ideals.

Meanwhile, Lin Xueze continued to recruit mortals outside. After Lin Xuyuan failed to break through Foundation Building, he took charge of managing these mortals. He did an excellent job in this regard. As for Lin Xuchang, while helping with the management, he had not taken the Foundation Building Pill. He seemed to be waiting for something.

Li Qingyu, Che Yun, and Xiao Qianxiaowei worked together to build the cave. Now there were more than ten wooden houses inside, and life became well-organized. As for Lin Xuqing, after breaking through Foundation Building, he practiced his alchemy skills while cultivating. As someone with three spiritual roots, he was bound to go further on the path of cultivation than his brothers. This was well understood by the Lin family.

One day, Lin Xueze continued to recruit in a city.

Just as he recruited two people skilled in woodworking, three Qi Refining cultivators came before him.

Lin Xueze was somewhat surprised. Since leaving Chiyang Immortal City, he hadn't seen any other cultivators for half a year.

And when these three cultivators saw him, their faces were serious, and their gaze was fixed on him, seemingly filled with resentment. Judging from their attire, they seemed to be disciples of a sect, either Wuji Sect or Qingfeng Sect. Before Lin Xueze could ask, one of the Qi Refining cultivators at the ninth level spoke, "You, the one-armed old demon, have such audacity to plunder mortals like this. Don't think that your cultivation at the Foundation Building stage allows you to act recklessly. We are here today to tell you to stop as soon as possible, or you will regret it in the future."

Lin Xueze was a bit confused. When did he become known as the one-armed old demon? He had no idea.

He looked at the three Qi Refining cultivators again, and what puzzled him even more was that these three were only at the Qi Refining stage. How could they dare to accuse him of plundering mortals? Were cultivators nowadays so audacious?

Or perhaps...

Lin Xueze looked at the three cultivators and thought that they probably had some means, which was why they were so bold.

Facing these three cultivators, Lin Xueze didn't get angry. Although he was confident in killing these three, he was not the demonic cultivator they described. Even if he were, he wouldn't accept such a derogatory name as the one-armed old demon.

"Fellow Daoists, there seems to be a misunderstanding. I am recruiting mortals, not practicing demonic cultivation," Lin Xueze explained.

Originally, these three cultivators were somewhat intimidated by Lin Xueze, but when they heard his words, they spoke even louder:

"Hmph, would a demonic cultivator admit to being one? We have been cultivating outside for several years and have never seen a Foundation Building cultivator in need of mortals. Beautiful women might be useful, but what use do these mortals have for you, other than being skinned, boned, soul-sucked, and spirit-absorbed?"

After hearing this, Lin Xueze was fine, but all the mortals around him were scared away. Even a fool could tell how cruel those words were.

Lin Xueze looked at the three cultivators and smiled again, saying, "Do mortals only have such value in the eyes of Fellow Daoists? I do need them to help me with certain tasks. Cultivators, powerful as they may be, still only have a pair of hands and feet. Many things still require mortals."

The three cultivators looked at each other, thinking of the many mortals who swept the floors and cleaned the toilets for them in the sect. Their eyes lost their arrogance for a moment.
