I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 174: Foundation Building Three

Lin Qing suddenly asked, "Zhao Xiu, why don't you sell these Foundation Building grass to others? The value of these Foundation Building grass is extremely high now."

Looking at Lin Qing, Zhao Xiu's face showed a bitter expression. "Senior Lin, innocent people should not be punished for the crimes of others. With the few of us from the Zhao family, we dare not sell these Foundation Building grass after they mature. If we dare to sell them, our family will suffer an even worse fate. Who would give spirit stones to our powerless family? Besides, we don't even need spirit stones now. If it weren't for Senior Lin, I wouldn't have brought them out today."

Lin Qing nodded. This Zhao Xiu sees through the situation. In fact, if he didn't know Zhao Xiu, after learning that he had these Foundation Building grass, Zhao Xiu and his whole family would probably die at his hands.

And as he said, their deaths would be very tragic because he would also force them to reveal if there were more Foundation Building grass, and he wouldn't spare anyone in his family.

A child carrying gold would attract attention in the market, but instead of being able to buy candy, they might be kidnapped along with the person.

At this moment, Zhao Xiu said again, "Senior Lin, only I know about this Foundation Building grass. No one else knows. I hope Senior will take care of my family in the future. They were born in my Zhao family but haven't enjoyed any benefits. It has been a hardship for them. As the family head, I'm sorry for them."

Despair filled Zhao Xiu's eyes. The reason he and his few companions could survive until now was because of their poor aptitude. Ironically, those with good aptitude died first, while those with poor aptitude survived longer. There was probably no one in the world who would willingly be born into his family.

As for other families...

"Ah." Zhao Xiu didn't continue thinking. It would be useless to think further. It was already too late now. He could only look at the distant sails before the boat sank. It was a scene of fierce competition, a scene that was so desirable, but it had nothing to do with his Zhao family.

At this moment, Lin Qing looked at Zhao Xiu and said solemnly, "Rest assured, I will definitely take good care of your Zhao family. You don't need to worry."

Zhao Xiu nodded, unable to say anything.

Afterwards, Zhao Xiu left, and Lin Qing looked at the storage bag containing the Zhao family's spiritual grass with fiery eyes. The contents inside were a hot potato for the Zhao family, a deadly weapon. But for his Lin family, it was a ladder to ascend, a boost for the family.

In addition to the Foundation Building grass, there were many other spiritual herbs in it, but they couldn't complete the materials for the Foundation Building Pill.

But for the Lin family, this was not a problem. They had been preparing for this for many years. Not to mention the materials they acquired, many of the spiritual herbs cultivated in the family's medicinal field over the years were already usable.

Not to mention one set of materials, they had enough for five sets.

Thinking about how they had been waiting for Foundation Building Lin Xusi and others for so many years, Lin Qing let out a sigh of relief.

This was the best solution. Now that he, as a ninth-level Foundation Building cultivator, couldn't obtain Foundation Building grass, he couldn't help but resort to unscrupulous means. He wasn't that kind of person, but the family needed him to do so.

Fortunately, Lin Qing felt relieved that he had not worried in vain.

In Lin Qing's opinion, these Foundation Building grasses were enough for his Lin family to use for a hundred years. Perhaps there would be a greater demand in the future, but there was no need to consider it for at least fifty years. Who knows what it would be like after fifty years? Maybe by then, Foundation Building grass would have become a commodity that could be bought with spirit stones, and its price might even decrease.

Afterward, Lin Qing handed the Foundation Building grass to Lin Xucheng. Lin Xucheng was now able to refine second-grade high-quality pills, so there was no problem in refining this Foundation Building pill.

The first batch of three Foundation Building grasses yielded five pills. This was mainly because the Foundation Building grasses were generally not very old, just enough for three hundred years. But this was enough.

Just as the Foundation Building pill was refined and not yet distributed, Lin Qing heard a piece of news: Zhao Xiu died one night.

Lin Qing sighed and then asked Lin Xuchang to arrange the burial.

As for the several Zhao family members brought by Zhao Xiu, they now had easy tasks and decent incomes in the Lin family. As long as the Lin family existed, these people would live well.

Zhao Xiu was buried not far away.

After watching everyone finish their mourning and leave, Lin Qing came out from the shadows and added some yellow soil to Zhao Xiu's grave. He put the wooden box back into the grave. Although the wooden box was returned, Lin Qing could not forget this feeling.

Afterward, the five Foundation Building pills were distributed. One pill each went to Xiao Qian, Lin Xusi, Lin Xuming, Lin Xutai, and Lin Zhidan. Among them, only Lin Zhidan was from the Zhi generation and the youngest, but his aptitude was the best. As a dual spiritual root, he didn't need the Foundation Building pill. He had a good chance of breaking through the Foundation Building stage even without it, but having the Foundation Building pill would be even better.

As for Xiao Qian and Lin Xusi, they had failed to break through last time. Lin Xuming and Lin Xutai were now in their forties, and their cultivation had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, so they could take the Foundation Building pill.

To be honest, Lin Qing had a bottom line in his heart that at least two people would successfully break through with the five Foundation Building pills. Lin Zhidan, as mentioned earlier, had a dual spiritual root and the Foundation Building pill, as well as a second-grade high-quality spiritual vein. In Lin Qing's opinion, there was probably an eighty percent chance of success. As for Xiao Qian, Lin Qing thought it would be difficult for her because her aptitude was not good, and she was getting older. Even with the Foundation Building pill, it would probably be difficult for her. As for Lin Xusi and his younger brothers Lin Xuming and Lin Xutai, they all had triple spiritual roots, so at least one of them should be able to break through, and it was even possible for all three of them to break through.

In addition to these five people, the several children with spiritual roots born to Lin Xuyuan, the eldest, were also growing up. The oldest among them was forty, and if they practiced well, they would probably need the Foundation Building pill in a few years. But now that there was an ample supply of Foundation Building grass, there was no need to worry. They could be refined when the time came.

After the distribution, the five people began to attempt to break through.

As expected by Lin Qing, Lin Zhidan easily broke through and became another Foundation Building cultivator in the Lin family. Lin Qing was happy, and as his father, Lin Xucheng was also extremely happy. This son of his would definitely go further in the future.

Although Xiao Qian had the Foundation Building pill, she still failed. After comforting her, Lin Qing was not too disappointed. She just told her younger sister, Xiao Wei, to take care of Lin Xusi and Lin Xuming in the future. Xiao Wei looked at her sister, and both of them shed tears.

Then, to Lin Qing's surprise, Lin Xusi and Lin Xutai both successfully broke through, while Lin Xuming failed to do so.

Although Lin Xuming failed, like Lin Xusi in the past, he was still young and would have another chance. With his triple spiritual roots, once he adjusted well, another pill should not be a problem.

Out of the five Foundation Building pills, three were successful, directly strengthening the Lin family's power. Now, when added up, there were at most eleven people in the Lin family who had broken through the Foundation Building stage. Among them, Lin Qing and Lin Xucheng were in the later stage, Che Yun and Lin Xuchang were in the middle stage, and the rest were in the early stage.
