I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 164: Master Fan Dan

"Don't push, it's already been snatched by someone else." A mortal shouted loudly, but no one listened to him and the crowd became even more chaotic.

It wasn't until every nook and cranny of his body was thoroughly searched by more than ten pairs of hands that the mortals around him finally let him go.

As for where the handkerchief went, no one knew.

Meanwhile, the culprit had already left the scene, and it was none other than Master Fan Dan.

To be honest, Master Fan Dan felt a little guilty at this moment. It didn't sound good for a Qi Refining sixth level cultivator to snatch a handkerchief from a mortal. But he couldn't help himself. He knew that if he didn't snatch this handkerchief today, he would regret it for ten years.

He immediately rented a room at an inn and closed the door. He took out the handkerchief from his sleeve.

And then...

"Hiss~~~"

"Hiss~~~"

"Hiss~~~"

He took three deep breaths and almost choked himself. He quickly exhaled and a look of excitement appeared on Master Fan Dan's face.

It had a taste...

Fragrant.

On that day, Master Fan Dan didn't leave the inn. As for the handkerchief, he carefully placed it in a storage bag and then in a wooden box used to store pills. This handkerchief was more important to him than the pills and needed to be properly preserved.

In the following days, Master Fan Dan became even more diligent in coming to the Lin Family City, but he never saw Lin Zhiling again.

Although he didn't see her again, Lin Zhiling's figure kept appearing in his dreams, time and time again. Each time, he was reluctant to wake up.

Because of this, he intensified his cultivation. In his heart, there was still a dream. If he reached the Foundation Building stage, would there be a possibility of becoming Dao companions?

After this incident, the recruitment went smoothly. After Lin Zhiyuan arrived in the afternoon, he quickly recruited more than four hundred mortals.

These mortals would be sent to the mine by the Lin Family's Foundation Building cultivators in the following days to officially start mining.

Responsible for transporting the mortals were Lin Xueze and Lin Xueqian. Lin Qing would naturally not do such tasks anymore.

Transporting the mortals was not far, so it was fast. Each of these mortals was overjoyed because they could earn three to five silver coins a month from mining, which was a rare opportunity in the current Lin Family City. Not to mention the chance to ride on a flying boat and see the world from above.

For many mortals, this was a first-time experience, and it was worth it in this lifetime. They didn't live in vain.

After arriving at the mine, they began mining. The selected mortals were all strong and the mining speed was fast. The Lin Family ensured that these miners had meat to eat every meal, as they needed to be well-fed to have the strength to work.

In the world of cultivation, there are indeed black mining sites, but the mortals working inside them generally have enough food to eat. After all, food is not expensive, at most they just don't get paid. It wouldn't happen that they have no food to eat and still have to mine.

Because if they can't eat enough, they won't have the energy to mine. Cultivators are very shrewd, and this is something they can distinguish. One strong man can replace several weak ones. When raising pigs for meat, you can't even be stingy with feeding them grass.

After a month, the first batch of ore was already sent out of the mountain, and then the Lin family began to sell it.

These ores were bought by people without even leaving the Lin family's collection, and they sold out quickly.

With the sale of the ores, the scattered cultivators in the Lin family's collection also learned about the cold iron mine. Even after this incident, it spread throughout most of the Zhao Kingdom. Of course, it wasn't just the Lin family that had a cold iron mine. What was even more impressive was that after the discovery of the mine, the Wuji Sect also competed with the Lin family for it. Surprisingly, the Wuji Sect lost and even had a Foundation Building cultivator die, but the Lin family only suffered a loss of some spirit stones.

This news attracted even more attention from the scattered cultivators.

Many scattered cultivators were skeptical at first, but later, news came from the Qingfeng Sect, and then they all believed it.

As the Lin family was able to make the Wuji Sect lose face, they naturally gained a lot of attention. But Lin Qing was not afraid. Now that he and the Purple Golden Toad have both reached the late Foundation Building stage, their strength in the Zhao Kingdom is considered top-notch. Even if they were to expose a second-grade high-quality spiritual vein, they could still handle it. Moreover, with the declaration signed by Elder Zhu, the Wuji Sect wouldn't dare to make a big move.

After causing a stir, this matter quickly subsided, but the Wuji Sect undoubtedly fell in the eyes of the scattered cultivators.

Some scattered cultivators even said that the Wuji Sect is now weak and will be destroyed in less than a hundred years. This statement surprisingly gained a lot of agreement, and for a while, more scattered cultivators came to the Lin family's collection, some to watch the excitement, and some to settle down.

And then another major event happened, causing the number of scattered cultivators in the Lin family's collection to explode.

The Chiyang Immortal City was attacked.

The specific situation is not clear to any of the scattered cultivators, but it was severely damaged. Especially the inner city, where dozens of houses were destroyed, and many cultivators died. There were even more scattered cultivators who died in the outer city.

Only those in the Purple Mansion stage, or even the late Purple Mansion stage, would have such strength.

Later, someone who knew the inside story revealed a secret. It was said that this incident was caused by the Wuji Sect. Because of the Lin family mountain incident, the reputation of the Wuji Sect was damaged, and they knew it themselves. But they currently only have two Purple Mansion cultivators and are not strong enough to face the joint forces of the Qingfeng Sect and the Xianxia Sect. In the short term, they have no Purple Mansion cultivators and need to seek external help. So their Sect Master personally went to the Chiyang Immortal City to seek cooperation, hoping that the two families could join forces and not be inferior to the Qingfeng Sect and the Xianxia Sect in the future.

But it seems that they didn't reach an agreement and even fought each other.

This fight caused great damage to the Chiyang Immortal City.

As for why the fight was so severe, there were rumors among the cultivators later. It was said that after the Sect Master of the Wuji Sect arrived at the Chiyang Immortal City, he not only met Chiyang Daochang but also met another Purple Mansion cultivator, who was a cultivator from the Baibao Tower.

The Baibao Tower had cooperated with the Wuji Sect before but later withdrew. When the Sect Master of the Wuji Sect saw these two families joining forces, he couldn't help but get angry, and that's when the real fight broke out.

The Chiyang Immortal City was turned upside down by the fight, and even the Sect Master of the Wuji Sect was seriously injured. In the end, none of the parties benefited, but the Chiyang Immortal City and the Baibao Tower completely became enemies of the Wuji Sect.

After this disaster, it will probably take some time for the Chiyang Immortal City to recover its former glory. In the eyes of the scattered cultivators, the Chiyang Immortal City is no longer safe, so where else can they go in the Zhao Kingdom?

Soon, many scattered cultivators thought of the Lin family mountain.

In theory, the Lin family mountain has had conflicts with the Wuji Sect, but the Sect Master of the Wuji Sect didn't make a move against the Lin family mountain. Instead, they fought in the Chiyang Immortal City. Does this mean that the Lin family mountain is safer than the Chiyang Immortal City?

For a while, many scattered cultivators came to the Lin family mountain.
