I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 162: Lin Zhiyuan

Returning to Linjia Mountain, Lin Xusi immediately went to find the master builder, but the master builder was also a sharp-minded person and had left Linjiaji early in the morning with an unknown destination.

Entering the shop, everything inside had been emptied.

Lin Xusi searched the shop, clenched his fist, wanting to smash something, but he didn't act. After all, this was his Lin family's shop, but he made a decision.

"In the future, I will learn artifact refining. If I can refine artifacts, what do these things matter?"

When Lin Qing heard that Lin Xusi wanted to learn artifact refining, he expressed approval and gave Lin Xusi basic books on artifact refining for him to study slowly.

The next day, Lin Qing received Qin Laozu who had come. He had asked Lin Xuzhe to invite Qin Rou. After a good meal and good wine, Lin Qing talked about the discovery of the mining site, emphasizing the matter of the Wuji Sect. Qin Laozu said he was aware of it and would handle it.

Lin Qing's thoughts were correct. There were indeed twists and turns in this matter. After Elder Zhu and his group returned to the sect, they reported the matter to the sect master, especially showing him the corpse of the Foundation Building cultivator who had died. The sect master's face turned black, thinking that a Linjia Mountain would dare to do such a thing.

But what made the sect master even angrier was that the Zhu family didn't give him any information beforehand and only told him after they had suffered a setback. They treated him as someone who would clean up after the Zhu family.

Thinking of this, the sect master's impression of the Zhu family worsened.

Before the Wuji Sect could take action, Qin Laozu, on behalf of the Qingfeng Sect, contacted the Wuji Sect. With the declaration written by Elder Zhu, the Wuji Sect had nothing to say, and the matter passed like this.

However, the Lin family had to pay a price of 30,000 spirit stones for the mining site.

15,000 for the Qingfeng Sect and 15,000 for the Wuji Sect.

Lin Qing had no choice but to pay. Qin Laozu only took 10,000 spirit stones, while the Wuji Sect took the full 15,000 without any hesitation.

It could have been avoided, but Lin Xusi's actions put the Lin family at a disadvantage. However, this was the best solution for now, turning a big problem into a small one. Sometimes, spending money to resolve a disaster was the only way.

Moreover, after paying these spirit stones, the Lin family could openly mine without the need for secrecy, which was also a good thing.

Even after paying these spirit stones, the Lin family didn't suffer a loss. Lin Qing had a skilled artifact refiner from the Qingfeng Sect examine the mining site, and the cold iron ore here was of medium-grade second rank, with considerable value.

If it was fully mined, there would be over 200,000 spirit stones, just a matter of time.

Because of the formation, Lin Xusi guarded the mining site, but Lin Xuqian was also there for the first three years, just in case.

As for how long this mining site would be exploited, the later the mining site, the more difficult it would be to mine. A conservative estimate would be at least fifty years, or even a hundred years.

It would require the uninterrupted labor of hundreds of mortals.

Linjia City.

Lin Zhiyuan, Lin Xuyuan's eldest son, had taken over his father's work. Although he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, he handled everything properly.

On this day, after receiving Lin Qing's request to recruit mortals, he immediately took action.

There were now about fifty thousand mortals in Linjia City, a result of the restrictions imposed by the Lin family. Although mortals were needed, Linjia City was still under the control of the Lin family, and they were not accepting many outsiders anymore, so the growth rate was limited.

However, with the reproductive speed of ordinary people, it won't take more than a few decades for the population of this city to double. But by then, the descendants of the Lin family will make up a large part of it, and with another one or two hundred years, this Lin family city will truly live up to its name.

As for the current managers of the specific affairs in the city, it is still the descendants of Lin Xuen brought back from Sanshan Town by Lin Qing. And Lin Xuyuan, as an immortal among mortals, is mainly responsible for conveying the Lin family's instructions and intimidating the mortals.

Upon receiving Lin Qing's arrangement, Lin Zhiyuan immediately notified the mortals under him, and then the Lin family mortals immediately began recruiting.

Now the population of the Lin family city is large, although the Lin family mountain is still expanding outward, but the competition among mortals is much greater than before. The descendants of the Lin family are still fine, but other mortals are not as well off as before. It is not difficult to recruit them, and even mortals flock to join.

As soon as the platform was set up, the mortals rushed forward, pushing and shoving each other, making a lot of noise and even knocking over the platform.

Upon hearing the report from the Lin family members, Lin Zhiyuan decided to go to the scene and take a look.

Without him, sometimes it really wouldn't work. Those mortals sometimes wouldn't listen no matter how much you said, but as soon as the "immortal" appeared, they would listen to everything.

"Brother, I want to go too." Lin Zhiyuan was about to go, but his sister Lin Zhiling suddenly emerged from the house and said.

Previously in the Lin family city, Lin Xuyuan had hundreds of children, but only five people with spiritual roots lived in this house in the center of the city. Lin Zhiling was one of them, and she also had five spiritual roots like Lin Zhiyuan, but she had only reached the third level of Qi Refining in her cultivation.

"Why do you want to go? I'm enough." Lin Zhiyuan immediately refused without much thought.

"Brother~ let me go and take a look. I'm so bored staying in the house all day practicing. You know I cultivate slowly, who is as fast as you in cultivation." Although Lin Zhiling was already in her twenties, she still acted spoiled in front of her somewhat rigid brother.

"It's not that I don't want you to go, but what are you going to do when you go? It's just recruiting some mortals, nothing major." Lin Zhiyuan still refused.

"Brother, I just want to take a look. I know what Dad said, but I don't know when my aptitude will allow me to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining in cultivation. If I can't reach it even in my lifetime, am I supposed to stay indoors forever? Besides, I have you, brother. With you here, what is there to be afraid of?" Lin Zhiling continued to act spoiled.

This time, Lin Zhiyuan had nothing to say. Indeed, if his sister couldn't reach the fourth level of Qi Refining in her cultivation in her lifetime, could she really be expected to stay indoors forever?

Thinking of his father Lin Xuyuan's frequent reminders to take care of his younger siblings, Lin Zhiyuan glanced at Lin Zhiling and softened his heart, then nodded, "Alright, let's go together."

"Yay!" Lin Zhiling's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she immediately went back into the house, seemingly to get something.

Lin Zhiyuan waited outside, and he ended up waiting for half an hour. Just when he was getting impatient, Lin Zhiling walked out of the house.

As she walked out, she was truly stunning, with a beauty that could cause fish to sink and geese to fall. She was breathtakingly beautiful, with a heavenly fragrance. Her eyes sparkled, and every smile and frown moved people's hearts. Her hands were as soft as tender leaves, and her skin was as smooth as cream. As soon as she appeared, it seemed as if the world had changed colors.

"You, why are you dressed like this?" Lin Zhiyuan looked at the carefully dressed Lin Zhiling, stunned for a while before speaking up.
