I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 167: Lin Xuqing in the Late Stage of Foundation Building

Even the Qingfeng Sect, in Lin Qing's view, did not wish well for his Lin family. They were probably waiting for something to happen to the Lin family, so that they could save them and then manipulate them as they pleased. It could be said to be a silent annexation.

But staying hidden was not that simple. The cultivation world had too many methods, and the foundation of a family was unimaginable.

For example, there might be families that had matured Foundation Building grass, with legacies that had lasted for at least three hundred years. Lin Qing couldn't even begin to imagine the number of methods they possessed after such a long time.

Even within their own Lin family, in just a few decades, there were many things unknown to others.

Take Lin Xuqing for example. Two years ago, he had already reached the seventh level of Foundation Building, which was the late stage of Foundation Building. But outsiders were unaware of this. Lin Xuqing usually used a spell to conceal his cultivation level, keeping his strength at the mid stage of Foundation Building.

If three late stage Foundation Building cultivators were to come and think that the Lin family, with only Lin Qing and his Purple Gold Toad in the late stage, could be easily defeated, then Lin Xuqing's appearance would play a crucial role. If this was the case for the recently established Lin family, it would be even more so for other families.

Lin Xuqing concealed his cultivation level, but Lin Qing himself did not have to worry about this.

As the head of the Lin family, he naturally had to maintain his late stage cultivation level to deter others.

Apart from these two points, there was also the fact that the Lin family now had separate mining areas. Did those long-established cultivation families not have any? Some of them might not be as powerful as before, but their means of self-preservation were not to be underestimated.

It was becoming increasingly difficult to eliminate them.

If he were a lone cultivator, it would be easier. Relying on his strong power, he could make a fortune and leave. But he represented the Lin family and absolutely could not risk any exposure. Once exposed, the entire family would become a target. It could be said that a family was a source of assistance, but at certain times, it was also a form of restraint.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing immediately thought of Blood Sea Old Demon. In his opinion, the person behind Blood Sea Old Demon might have also thought of these things, so they created the identity of Blood Sea Old Demon to specifically do some unsavory things, so that they wouldn't be implicated in the future.

If others could do this, then the Lin family could too. Perhaps they could create another Old Demon.

But when Lin Qing thought about it, the Lin family didn't have a suitable candidate.

To do such things, the most crucial factor was strong power. Otherwise, instead of robbing others, they would end up losing their lives. The several Foundation Building cultivators in the Lin family were not suitable.

He himself, of course, couldn't do it. Che Yun and Xiao Wei were both female cultivators and couldn't do this either. Lin Xu Chang was busy studying formations and overseeing the Lin family's gathering place. Lin Xuqing was busy refining pills and was also a hidden card of the family. Lin Xuqian had a low cultivation level and was prone to accidents.

The only one who was somewhat suitable was Lin Xuze, but he was still only in the early stage of Foundation Building. Moreover, he was very close to Qin Rou in their daily lives. Lin Qing didn't want his own son to abandon everything and do such things.

Most importantly, his arm was too conspicuous.

After thinking it over, Lin Qing could only shake his head helplessly. It would be better to wait a little longer. With the current chaos in the Zhao Kingdom, perhaps there would be some turning point. It wouldn't be too late to take action then.

The Lin family could afford to wait for ten or twenty years.

As for Lin Xuqing, after reaching the late stage of Foundation Building two years ago, he not only used concealment techniques to hide his cultivation level from others, but also kept it a secret from Li Danxin, who had become his Dao companion.

The two of them had been living separately, and although Li Danxin was in the early stage of Foundation Building, she had not revealed any flaws.

On this day, Lin Xuqing finished refining a furnace of elixirs and handed them over to his son, Lin Zhidan, asking him to take them to the Lin family's gathering place. This Lin Zhidan is no ordinary person. He was born after the Lin family's ancestral ceremony and possesses dual spiritual roots, with a talent even higher than his father, Lin Xuqing. Now in his twenties, his cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he can reach the seventh level within a year at most. Moreover, he has also learned alchemy from Lin Xuqing and is now a mid-grade alchemist. His talent is terrifyingly high.

The most crucial thing is that this child inherited his father's appearance and is just as handsome.

Watching his son leave, Lin Xuqing nodded with satisfaction.

He himself only has three spiritual roots and, if lucky, can reach the Purple Mansion in the future, but that's about it. However, this son is different. He can see the path to the Gold Core.

Over the years, after having children, Lin Xuqing has focused part of his energy on their education. One is because they carry his expectations, and the other is because he doesn't want them to end up like him.

But Lin Xuqing vaguely feels that this child not only inherited his appearance but also has some similarities in his heart.

Hmm.

He likes refining evil elixirs.

Although he has never been caught doing it directly, Lin Xuqing can feel it. And no matter how he teaches, it seems that he can't change this.

Thinking about what this child will become in the future, Lin Xuqing is somewhat worried. This son is a dual spiritual root and has a higher talent than him. But when he thinks of his other daughter, Lin Zhiqing, Lin Xuqing smiles. Although this daughter only has four spiritual roots, she is not slow in her daily cultivation and is extremely obedient. She is not even eighteen yet, but she is extremely filial.

She is diligent in serving tea and water on a daily basis. Thinking about it, Lin Xuqing shakes his head with a smile.

No matter what, as he discussed with his father before, the younger generation has their own blessings. Although they are his own children, they also have their own world.

Lin Xuqing has learned a lot about educating his children from Lin Qing.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuqing changes his clothes and heads towards the Lin family gathering place. Calculating the days, he hasn't seen Li Danxin for a week.

Speaking of which, since marrying Li Danxin, Lin Xuqing hasn't had the thought of marrying again. Mainly because he is not particularly interested in such matters. If there is, there is; if there isn't, there isn't. He doesn't care much. On the contrary, Li Danxin clings to him and insists on meeting once a week, as agreed upon by Li Danxin.

Arriving at the Lin family gathering place, which is now bustling, Lin Xuqing looks around for a while, nods in satisfaction, and then goes to Li Danxin's cave.

But when he arrives, there is someone else in the cave.

It is a female cultivator at the Qi Refining stage.

"Husband, let me introduce you. This is my niece, Li Dan'er," Li Danxin says.

"Niece?" Lin Xuqing is somewhat puzzled. Why hadn't he heard of her before?

This niece named Li Dan'er is young, looking about fifteen or sixteen years old, but her cultivation is already at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, which surprises Lin Xuqing. At this moment, she looks at Lin Xuqing with a friendly smile, blushing a little, but also with some confusion.

Li Danxin pulls Lin Xuqing aside and explains in detail. It turns out that Li Dan'er, like Li Danxin, is from the Li Dan family. After Li Danxin left, their family gradually declined, and this time she came to seek refuge with Li Danxin. As for her age, it is not as simple as it looks, she is almost thirty years old, but she looks young because she ate the wrong pills, such as the Youth-Preserving Pill, when she was young.
