I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 148: Lin Xuyuan

It's Lin Qing himself. He estimated that with his current strength, there was no chance of winning against the Purple Golden Toad.

But who made the Purple Golden Toad his spirit beast?

After the Purple Golden Toad broke through to the later stage, Lin Qing immediately informed his family, and everyone in the family was extremely happy.

After all these years, they finally had some good news to celebrate.

That's why Lin Qing told his family first.

After the breakthrough of the Purple Golden Toad, the cultivation of his family members also improved over the years.

Lin Xuqing has already reached the mid-stage of Foundation Building. As a triple spiritual root, he has a great advantage in cultivation and his alchemy skills have reached the middle level of the second rank. In the Zhao Kingdom, he is a person that any sect would want to recruit. However, Lin Xuchang and Lin Xuzhe are still in the early stage of Foundation Building, mainly because their spiritual roots are not very good.

If it weren't for Lin Qing, they probably wouldn't have been able to reach the Foundation Building stage in their lifetime, nor would they have had the opportunity to obtain Foundation Building pills. But even if Lin Qing allowed them to reach the Foundation Building stage, further advancement would still be extremely difficult.

As for the Xiao sisters, Xiao Qian and Xiao Wei, they have also reached the ninth level of Qi Refining over the years. However, they have nowhere to find Foundation Building pills now.

Their children, Lin Xusi and Lin Xuqian, have both reached the later stage of Qi Refining, while Lin Xuming and Lin Xutai are both in the middle stage of Qi Refining. It can be said that the overall strength of the family has greatly improved. As long as Lin Qing reaches the later stage of Foundation Building, the Lin family can be considered a top-notch cultivation family in the Zhao Kingdom.

With so many children now, Lin Qing can't remember all of them, especially Lin Xuyuan. He has given birth to hundreds or even thousands of children in a row. Lin Qing simply can't remember all these grandchildren.

But he does remember one of Lin Xuyuan's daughters, named Lin Zhiling, who has the Five Spiritual Roots.

Firstly, she is a girl, and since Lin Qing has given birth to so many boys in a row, he pays special attention to his granddaughter. Secondly, it's because of this name. When he first heard it, he didn't think much of it. But one day, Lin Qing suddenly thought of someone from his previous life when he heard this name, and the most crucial thing is that they look very similar.

It's just a pity that she only has the Five Spiritual Roots.

But even with the Five Spiritual Roots, it's still very rare. Lin Xuyuan has given birth to so many children, and only five of them have spiritual roots, with four having the Five Spiritual Roots and one having the Four Spiritual Roots. The rest are mostly ordinary people.

Speaking of which, the Lin family mountain has fewer scattered cultivators now, but it doesn't affect the ordinary people at all.

In the eyes of ordinary people, with the presence of the powerful cultivation family, the Lin family, this place is extremely safe. Over the years, the number of ordinary people in Lin Family Mountain and Lin Family City has been increasing. Many of them are outsiders, but there are also many born into the Lin family. At this rate, it won't be long before there are a hundred thousand ordinary people in Lin Family Mountain. This city, formed by the gathering of these ordinary people, is considered a large city in the mortal world.

Upon thinking about this, Lin Qing had an idea and set up a special rule.

For the descendants of these ordinary people, as long as they are under twelve years old, they can have one free test of their spiritual roots. If they have spiritual roots, they can join the Lin family, and their parents will also benefit greatly.

This test is mainly conducted by Lin Xuyuan and the younger generation, Lin Xusi and Lin Xuqian. Testing spiritual roots is not a difficult task.

Although Lin Xuyuan is much older than Lin Xusi and Lin Xuqian, they are still considered the same generation. On the day of the test, Lin Xusi and Lin Xuqian each called out "Brother Xuyuan" and started testing with the spiritual stone.

As Lin Xuyuan watched his two younger brothers, he couldn't help but feel envious.

They both have triple spiritual roots and have unlimited potential in the future. At the very least, they will reach the Foundation Building stage, unlike him, who will be stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining for his whole life.

But when he thought about his countless descendants, Lin Xuyuan also felt proud. He may not be talented in cultivation, but when it comes to having children, who can compare to him?

Next, let's test them one by one. These mortals are extremely enthusiastic, as long as they have children, they all bring them here.

But as we test them, none of them have spiritual roots.

Lin Xuyuan has tested almost everyone here, while Lin Xusi and Lin Xuqian still have some left. Lin Xuyuan doesn't see any major problems and sits down to rest.

During this rest, he feels a sense of emptiness, as if he has no foundation at all.

Thinking of his mother who passed away a few years ago, Lin Xuyuan feels as if his own time is also running short. For these years, he has been taking the pills that Lin Xuqing made for him. No matter how good the ingredients are, these pills still damage the foundation. Taking them too often not only fails to cure the root problem, but also further depletes the body.

But Lin Xuyuan has never stopped. Even after all these years, he still uses them to numb himself.

The river of time not only hasn't extinguished his original ideas, but instead, these ideas have become brighter and more radiant, like a copper mirror that becomes shinier with time. Even at night, he can sometimes see his initial dissatisfaction.

His brothers have all reached the Foundation Building stage, while he is still at the Qi Refining stage. This is a hurdle he can never overcome in his lifetime.

As he thinks about it, his chest starts to ache. This is an old problem. Lin Xuyuan slowly leans back in his chair.

On the other hand, as Lin Xusi and Lin Xuqian continue testing, there are not many people left. Unexpectedly, they suddenly discover someone with spiritual roots, and it turns out to be a triple spiritual root. This makes the two brothers extremely happy.

"What is your name?" Lin Xusi asks.

"I...I'm called Niu'er." It's a girl who speaks timidly.

"Great, where are your parents?" Lin Xuqian asks again. With the discovery of her spiritual roots, this girl will be surnamed Lin in the future and become a member of the Lin family. As for the girl's parents, they will receive a generous compensation.

As for the possibility of the girl's parents recognizing her and leaving the Lin family in the future, it is simply impossible. Not to mention the temptation of cultivating immortality, how long will her parents live? By the time this girl grows up and becomes a successful cultivator, her parents will have long passed away.

With Niu'er and her parents, Lin Xusi and Lin Xuqian find Lin Xuyuan to inform him about this matter, as he is the leader of this testing.

However, when they arrive at Lin Xuyuan's place, he is already asleep and doesn't respond to their calls.

"Brother Xuyuan?"

"Brother Xuyuan?" Lin Xuqian keeps calling, but Lin Xuyuan doesn't wake up at all.

"It seems like he's dead." Niu'er says from the side.

This statement shocks Lin Xusi and Lin Xuqian. Upon closer inspection, they realize that Brother Xuyuan has unknowingly passed away. They quickly send a message back home.

When Lin Qing arrives and investigates, he finds that Lin Xuyuan died a natural death, due to a deficiency in his cultivation. Despite his age, he was only a little over eighty.

Sighing, Lin Qing doesn't say much. As a powerful cultivator, he knows that the departure of the younger generation will only increase in the future. Lin Xuyuan is then buried by Lin Xuzhe and the descendants of Lin Xuyuan, and another tablet is added to the ancestral hall.

As for the girl named Niu'er, she changes her name to Lin Zhifeng and officially joins the Lin family.

Her parents receive generous rewards, making all the mortals in Lin Family City envy them, but no one dares to snatch them. This is Lin Family City, after all.
