I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 133: Completion of Ling Lake

Lin Qing looked at Lin Xuqing again. Lin Xuqing was no longer young; he was almost sixty now. However, in terms of appearance, Lin Xuqing was still as handsome as ever. Over the years, he had even developed a somewhat charming aura, especially when he smiled. Lin Qing felt that if he were outside, he would definitely be a heartthrob among female cultivators.

But Lin Xuqing had not left his house for many years. He spent his days refining pills. Lin Qing had heard from Che Yun that his pill refining skills had progressed rapidly, to the point where she couldn't understand them anymore. Moreover, the pills he refined were becoming increasingly mysterious.

Today, Lin Qing didn't ask about pill refining. She spoke up, saying, "Xuqing, what do you think? Should we go out for a walk? This matter cannot be resolved by waiting at home."

Lin Xuqing smiled and waved his long hand, saying to Lin Qing, "Father, this matter cannot be rushed."

Lin Qing immediately lost her temper.

Afterwards, Lin Qing's other sons left as well. Lin Qing watched them and pondered if there was something wrong, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure it out. Could it be that she was just too anxious?

As Lin Qing thought about it, she realized that it was indeed possible. After all, they had all already reached the Foundation Building stage, and they were still young. Perhaps if she waited a little longer, it would be better than what she had suggested.

Lin Qing didn't know that Lin Xuchang, who had left, returned to the Lin family's residence and sighed in his own room. "Father has always cared about me so much, and I feel guilty in my heart. But..."

He took out a palm-sized turtle shell from his storage bag and looked at it. Lin Xuchang sighed again, "I'm afraid I won't be able to marry in this lifetime."

This turtle shell was something Lin Xuchang had acquired from a shop before. At first, he thought it was just an ordinary spirit turtle shell, but later he discovered that it was extraordinary. His breakthrough to the Foundation Building stage relied on it, and because of it, he couldn't marry.

Staring at the turtle shell, Lin Xuchang felt both love and hate for it. After a moment, the patterns on the turtle shell lit up faintly, and Lin Xuchang's expression became trance-like, as if he had lost his soul.

As for Lin Xuzhe, it wasn't that he couldn't marry, but he had a difficult-to-explain secret. Thinking about Lin Qing's concern for him, he was also torn inside.

Back in his pill refining room, Lin Xuqing immersed himself in pill refining. His hands moved swiftly, and an unknown pill was being refined.

If a second-tier senior alchemist were to identify the pill he was refining, they wouldn't be able to recognize it. Of course, it wasn't a third-tier pill. Lin Xuqing hadn't reached that level yet. It was a new type of pill he had created.

He liked to explore pill refining, not limited to pill formulas. Over the years, he had refined several types of pills, which could be considered as demonic pills. The one he was currently refining was a new type.

He used various impure materials to refine it. If a Foundation Building cultivator were to consume it, they would die on the spot. Of course, Lin Xuqing didn't refine these pills for anyone to consume. It was his curiosity that drove him to do so.

He enjoyed refining these kinds of things. Ordinary pills didn't attract him as much. Every time he successfully refined this type of pill, he would be happy for a long time.

It could be said that beneath his handsome appearance, his inner self was completely different.

However, this time, the pill he was refining was not successful, and Lin Xuqing fell into contemplation.

Several years passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Lin Qing stood on a mountain peak with Lin Xuming and Lin Xutai. Looking down at the mountains below, they saw numerous mortals busy at work, and a dam made of giant stones had been completed.

This was the Ling Lake matter that Lin Qing had been concerned about. Today, it was finally completed.

This Ling Lake was built by blocking the mountain, resembling a long strip. It is over four li long at its longest point and about one li wide at its widest point. As for the depth, it averages around thirty to forty meters, with the deepest point exceeding fifty meters.

It took more than ten years of effort to build, starting from a few thousand mortals and now reaching tens of thousands of mortals.

However, this is only half blocked. If the height is increased, it can be further built. But Lin Qing feels that the current Ling Lake is already enough for their Lin family.

Looking at the mortals celebrating below, Lin Qing is also happy in his heart.

As for where the water comes from, it is not a problem. There is usually a lot of precipitation in the surrounding mountains. However, most of it is dispersed in various directions. With this Ling Lake, the rainwater from the nearby mountains can be gathered. It won't take a few years for this Ling Lake to be filled. Moreover, spells can be used to bring rain to this area, which speeds up the water storage process.

But this won't be necessary. Lin Qing looks up at the sky and sees dark clouds gathering. Distant thunder can be faintly heard.

It's about to rain.

Lin Qing leaves the mountaintop with two children in his arms. Soon, the rain starts to fall, and the mortals who have finished celebrating in the mountain dam quickly stop working and take cover from the rain. They put on straw hats and scatter, while Lin Qing, who is watching this scene under the trees, smiles.

This rain has been falling for more than ten days, with heavy rain followed by light rain, and light rain turning into heavy rain.

After the rain clears, Lin Qing carries the two children and comes to this place he named Lin Family Lake. He sees the rainwater gathered from all directions between the two mountains, shimmering on the surface, reflecting the white clouds rising in the sky. From a distance, it seems as if the heavens and the earth are connected. A gust of wind blows, causing ripples on the lake.

There is already sufficient water in the mountains. The spirit fish fry will be released in a few days, and in less than ten years, the spirit fish will grow. Whether it's for eating or selling, it's up to them.

Around the Ling Lake, mortals are planting seeds. This was suggested by the Xiao sisters to Lin Qing. They can plant spirit bamboo by the lake, which complements the bamboo and water. Lin Qing agreed, and the mortals are currently planting spirit bamboo.

"Dad, is this a lake?" the child in Lin Qing's arms asks, looking at the lake.

Lin Qing nods, "Yes, this is indeed a lake."

"Ah." The child in his arms is extremely surprised. When he came here with Lin Qing before, there was no lake, only high mountains and deep valleys.

Lin Qing smiles, touches the child's nose, and then walks around the Ling Lake, enjoying the beautiful scenery.

After the construction of Lin Family Lake, Lin Family Village is also nearing completion. When looking from the top of the mountain, which is over one li wide, Lin Family Village, built with stones, looks like a heavenly palace. Besides the Lin Family Village at the top, there are caves everywhere on this mountain.

In the future, wandering cultivators can trade at Lin Family Village, and the caves at the foot of the mountain can be rented. In Lin Qing's opinion, just this Lin Family Village alone is enough to support their Lin family if done well.

Although there hasn't been much publicity yet, several dozen wandering cultivators have already gathered at the market, and Lin Family has also opened several shops, mainly selling spirit rice arrays and elixirs. When it is further improved in the future, the number of people attending the market will increase.

But even now, there are wandering cultivators who have heard the news coming.

One day, a Qi Refining female cultivator walks in from outside the mountain. Her strength is not weak, at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Coupled with her beautiful appearance, it makes people feel that her identity is probably not small.
