I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 168: Li Dan'er

Lin Xuqing nodded after listening, and Li Dan'er smiled at this. Li Danxin turned to Li Dan'er and said, "Quickly call him Uncle."

Li Dan'er looked at Lin Xuqing and softly said, "Uncle."

Lin Xuqing nodded.

Li Danxin said to Lin Xuqing again, "Husband, although she looks young, she is actually a bit immature in her heart, like a child. If she says something wrong, don't argue with her."

"How could that be? I am her uncle," Lin Xuqing replied with a kind smile.

After looking at Li Danxin again, it was clear that things wouldn't work out with Li Dan'er around. Li Danxin understood Lin Xuqing's meaning and whispered, "Husband, why don't you come back tonight? I'll arrange everything for her before we talk."

Lin Xuqing nodded and decided to go to the Lin family's gathering to talk to Lin Xuchang.

Seeing Lin Xuqing leave, Li Dan'er let out a sigh of relief. For some reason, she felt a lot of pressure when looking at her uncle.

"Aunt, Uncle is so fierce," Li Dan'er called Li Danxin again.

Li Danxin turned around and smiled at her, "Don't be afraid, he is your uncle. He may seem stern on the surface, but he is actually very kind."

"Oh," Li Dan'er nodded.

At this moment, Li Danxin was a bit worried. It was not easy to arrange things for this niece of hers. She didn't know how to do anything except cultivate. Now that she had come to seek refuge with her, she needed to find her a job.

"Dan'er, is it true that our family is really gone?" Li Danxin asked again.

"Yes," Li Dan'er nodded. "Aunt, you just told Uncle that our family is declining. Since you left, all the uncles and cousins have been fighting over the family property. Some left, some scattered, and the family is gone. I had nowhere to go, so I came to find you."

"Oh," Li Danxin felt a bit sad again when she heard Li Dan'er say that the family was gone. Although she didn't have deep feelings for that family, she couldn't help but mourn for her grandfather, who used to talk proudly about the family.

"It must have been difficult for you to come all the way here, especially when Zhao Country is in such chaos," Li Danxin said.

Our Li family is not in Zhao Country. It's a long journey to come here.

Unexpectedly, Li Dan'er smiled and said, "Hehe, Aunt, don't worry, I can fly."

"Fly?" Li Danxin looked at Li Dan'er in surprise.

At this moment, Li Dan'er opened her clothes and demonstrated in the cave. She actually had a pair of wings on her back, not created by magic, but real wings.

"This...," Li Danxin was extremely astonished. She had never seen anything like this before.

Li Dan'er smiled and said to Li Danxin, "Aunt, isn't it amazing? I've never told anyone before. It all started when I ate a bird's egg I found in the mountains. Who knew that I would turn out like this? At first, I dreamt that I was a bird, and then... then I actually grew wings and could fly in the sky."

"Aunt, I can fly fast and high. Those flying boats can't match me."

Li Danxin still hadn't recovered from the shock. Anyone would be afraid if they suddenly saw someone grow a pair of wings in front of them.

However, Li Danxin remembered what her grandfather, Li Danshi, had said. They were in Yunzhou, which was divided into Upper Yunzhou, Lower Yunzhou, and Middle Yunzhou. Outside of Yunzhou, there were other large states, and the world of cultivation was vast and filled with all sorts of strange creatures. Thinking of this, Li Danxin reluctantly accepted this fact. She thought that maybe Zhao Country was too small, and that's why she was surprised. Perhaps in other places, this was not such a rare thing.

Looking at Li Dan'er, who still had her wings exposed, Li Danxin spoke up, "Dan'er, put them away quickly. Besides me, don't tell anyone about this in the future."

"I know, I won't tell anyone else."

Li Dan'er smiled and folded her wings.

At this moment, Li Danxin asked Li Danxin, "Aunt, both you and Uncle have such high cultivation levels. When will I be able to be like you?"

Li Danxin smiled, "Dan'er, you're only twenty-nine this year, and you're already at the sixth level of Qi Refining. It won't be long before you reach Foundation Building."

"Twenty-nine." Li Dan'er counted on her fingers and suddenly looked unhappy. "How am I already twenty-nine? I should only be fourteen."

Li Danxin felt a headache coming on. This niece of hers had messed up her mind with pill consumption. In her words and actions, she couldn't see the demeanor of someone in their twenties. She was just like what she said, resembling a fourteen or fifteen-year-old, or even worse.

While they were talking, Lin Xuqing returned. He had gone to find Lin Xuchang, who was busy at the moment, so he didn't disturb him.

Nowadays, it's not just his son who is learning alchemy from him. Lin Xuchang also has two disciples, but they are his younger brothers, Lin Xuming and Lin Xutai. They are the two children born later to Xiao Qian and Xiao Wei. Both of them are in their thirties now and are studying formation under Lin Xuchang.

Lin Xuchang hasn't married for so many years, and he doesn't have any plans to do so in the future. He teaches these two disciples with utmost seriousness, and it won't be long before they can stand on their own.

Seeing Lin Xuqing return, Li Danxin asked about the reason, smiled, and then said, "Husband, since you're busy there, rest in the house. I'll go buy some food, and the three of us can have a good meal later."

Lin Xuqing nodded, and Li Danxin went to buy food.

In the cave, only Lin Xuqing and Li Dan'er were left. Li Dan'er was even more afraid of Lin Xuqing. Seeing her like this, Lin Xuqing adjusted his expression and showed a gentle and kind expression. Li Dan'er was a little less scared for a while.

"It must have been difficult for you to come all the way here." Lin Xuqing asked, breaking the awkward silence. If he didn't say anything, it would be too awkward. This question was similar to what Li Danxin had asked just now.

"I managed." Just as she was about to say that she could fly, Li Dan'er held back, thinking of her aunt's words.

"I'm fine." Lin Xuqing didn't pay much attention. This niece of his was too nervous in front of him.

"You're already at the sixth level of Qi Refining this year. Work harder and reach the seventh level. The later stage is completely different from the middle stage. They are two different realms." Lin Xuqing, as an elder, spoke to Li Dan'er about her cultivation.

"Okay." Li Dan'er's voice was even smaller than before.

"If you have any questions about your cultivation, you can ask me." Lin Xuqing said again.

"I don't have any. I've already told Aunt everything. It won't be long before I reach Foundation Building." Li Dan'er said again.

Lin Xuqing smiled. Li Dan'er was clearly in her twenties, but she was like a child.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuqing didn't say much.

But Li Dan'er continued to mutter to herself, "I will reach the seventh level of Qi Refining in less than two years. After that, it will take ten years to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining. Then, after three years of cultivation, I will reach Foundation Building. In other words, I will only need fifteen years to reach the Foundation Building stage. Hehe."

Hearing this, Lin Xuqing shook his head again. She was so naive.

Li Dan'er hadn't finished speaking yet, "Foundation Building is easy, but it's difficult to reach the middle stage of Foundation Building. My aunt hasn't reached it yet, and I don't even know when she will reach the late stage of Foundation Building, maybe it will take several decades."

Unintentional words, but they struck a chord. Lin Xuqing looked at Li Dan'er in disbelief.
