I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 147: A New Generation Replaces the Old

But these words could only be cursed in one's heart. The Infinite Sect not only did not perish, but it remained the most powerful cultivation sect in the Zhao Kingdom.

After reading the Lin Family Collection, Lin Qing felt a sense of desolation, but this matter was not entirely a bad thing.

If the Lin Family Collection became more prosperous, the pressure on their Lin Family would also increase. Now, it was better to take advantage of the decrease in numbers and the lack of attention to strive to improve their cultivation. If the Lin Family also produced a Purple Mansion cultivator, what would they fear from the Infinite Sect's prohibition?

Even Lin Qing himself, if he advanced to the later stage of Foundation Building and set up a third-grade formation, he would be much safer in the future.

As for cultivation resources, although they no longer had the flow of people from the Lin Family Collection, their Lin Family could still afford it. The spiritual fields and spiritual fish were not small industries. The prohibition did not allow wandering cultivators to come to their Lin Family Mountain, but it did not prevent the Lin Family Mountain from selling to the outside world. Even with this prohibition, there was no shortage of cultivators willing to purchase.

From this day on, Lin Qing devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, and so did the other members of his family.

However, Lin Xuyuan still married his wife and continued to have descendants for the Lin Family.

And Lin Xuzé occasionally went out of the Lin Family Mountain and lived with Qin Rou in the mortal cities.

The whip danced, Lin Xuzé held the whip with one hand, and the small whip moved quickly. Even experienced coachmen couldn't match his skill.

But...

This whip was not hitting the horse.

Inside the house, there was a thrilling scene. After everything was over, Qin Rou wiped the sweat off Lin Xuzé.

"You must be tired, Zélang."

Lin Xuzé shook his head. It seemed that Qin Rou had learned some tricks from somewhere and had made him use them frequently over the years.

Afterward, the two rested, and Qin Rou nestled in Lin Xuzé's arms, showing an extremely happy expression. Then she asked, "Xuzé, is the Lin Family Mountain still the same?"

Lin Xuzé knew what Qin Rou was asking and nodded gently.

"After the Infinite Sect's prohibition, the number of wandering cultivators has decreased even more in the past two years. It was only because my father lowered the rent to attract a few dozen wandering cultivators, but they didn't make much of an impact," Lin Xuzé sighed.

"The Infinite Sect is truly despicable."

"Who says they're not?"

Suddenly, Qin Rou thought of something and looked at Lin Xuzé. "Zélang, why don't we let Grandfather intervene again? I believe the Infinite Sect will withdraw the prohibition."

Lin Xuzé glanced at Qin Rou and then shook his head. "I'm afraid that won't work. Back then, it was reasonable for your grandfather to intervene because the Infinite Sect wanted to occupy our Lin Family Mountain. But now, it's just a one-sided prohibition from the Infinite Sect. Even if your grandfather intervenes, it's not appropriate for him to meddle in the affairs of the Infinite Sect."

After thinking about it, Qin Rou also felt that Lin Xuzé was right.

"But in the future, the Lin Family Mountain may have even fewer wandering cultivators."

Lin Xuzé looked up at the sky. "Who knows? We can only take it step by step now, but my Lin Family will not retreat."

"Who will prevail in the end is still unknown."

After saying this, Lin Xuzé smiled.

It was extremely difficult for him to advance in cultivation now. It would already be remarkable if he could reach the mid-stage of Foundation Building in the future. But the others in his Lin Family were different. Not to mention his father, Lin Qing, who had three spiritual roots and had the hope of breaking through to the Purple Mansion in the future, his other brothers, Xusī, Xūqiān, Xūmíng, and Xūtài, all had three spiritual roots and had great opportunities in the future. Not to mention Xūqīng's son, Lin Zhīdān, who had dual spiritual roots and had an even greater chance of reaching the Purple Mansion in the future.

If they continued to cultivate like this, the Purple Mansion was not out of reach for them. When that time came, what was the Infinite Sect?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuzhe also thought of his children with Qin Rou, his three children, with different spiritual roots: Five Spiritual Roots, Four Spiritual Roots, and Three Spiritual Roots. It can be said that there is a huge difference, but their future development is also immeasurable.

"Let time answer everything."

With this final thought in his mind, Lin Xuzhe felt a surge of energy returning to him. He looked at Qin Rou and revealed a smile that only the two of them understood.

Qin Rou felt a little embarrassed. She understood what Lin Xuzhe wanted.

"Zelang, you are becoming more and more excessive, but..." Qin Rou's heart was filled with joy.

In the blink of an eye, five years had passed. Lin Qing was still a long way from reaching the later stage of Foundation Building, but something big happened at home.

Li Qingyu was about to leave.

As a ninth level Qi Refining cultivator, Li Qingyu had been married to Lin Qing since she was eighteen. Now, she was already one hundred and ten years old.

It is said that Qi Refining cultivators can live up to one hundred and twenty years, but that is only in the most ideal state. Living to one hundred and ten years old was already quite good for Li Qingyu. Over the years, she had witnessed many changes while following Lin Qing, and her heart was now calm.

During this time, the three children she had given birth to for Lin Qing, Lin Xuchang, Lin Xuzhe, and Lin Xuyuan, had been by her side.

Lin Xuyuan even brought his granddaughter, Lin Zhiling. Li Qingyu looked at them with a contented smile.

On this night, Li Qingyu called for Lin Qing.

"Husband, I'm afraid I have to leave." Li Qingyu said.

Lin Qing nodded and asked, "Do you have anything to say to me?"

"I have said everything I should say over the years. Husband, you have been very good to me, and I have no regrets following you." Li Qingyu smiled.

Lin Qing also smiled, and then Li Qingyu closed her eyes and never opened them again.

Afterwards, Li Qingyu was buried on the mountain, and a new tablet was added to the ancestral hall.

The next day, Li Danxin gave birth to her second child with Lin Xuzhe, a girl.

Everything in the Lin family was slowly changing, not only the surrounding mountains, but also the people. The old generation was being replaced by the new, and if cultivators did not improve their cultivation, their strength would be lacking, not to mention the short lifespan.

After a hundred days, the girl Li Danxin gave birth to had only Five Spiritual Roots and was named Lin Zhijing.

Time passed quickly, and four years had passed. This was not a sad occasion, but a great joy.

After breaking through to the later stage of Foundation Building, Lin Qing's Purple Gold Toad finally broke through to the later stage as well.

These fifty years were not easy, equivalent to a lifetime for an ordinary person, but for the Purple Gold Toad, it was just a breakthrough in realm. However, even so, it made Lin Qing extremely happy.

Over the years, Lin Qing had invested a huge amount in the Purple Gold Toad.

Roughly calculated, Lin Qing had spent over forty thousand spirit stones on this Purple Gold Toad in these fifty years.

It was precisely because of this investment of so many spirit stones that the Purple Gold Toad was able to break through. Otherwise, it would have taken even longer, after all, this was the later stage of Foundation Building, and in the Zhao Kingdom, it was considered a formidable existence, no, a formidable beast.

After breaking through, Lin Qing felt much more at ease. Although he had not broken through himself, with the Purple Gold Toad, he had much more confidence.

If that steward Zhu and the later stage cultivator came again, he could just release the Purple Gold Toad, and they would probably be scared away. A later stage cultivator of Foundation Building is generally stronger than a cultivator of the same level, not to mention that the Purple Gold Toad is a poisonous creature, considered the most troublesome among beasts. A cultivator would never want to fight against such a creature.
