I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 181: Shanshui Divine Technique

He had only heard about this secret realm and came to watch the excitement. How did he end up provoking two Foundation Building cultivators, one of whom was in the later stage? This demonic beast is also in the later stage.

Without answering, Lin Qing and Lin Xuzhe took down this Wang family cultivator in just seven or eight breaths, not giving him a chance to speak.

Afterwards, they threw the corpse to the still unsatisfied Purple Gold Toad, which swallowed it in one gulp. There weren't many things inside the storage bag, as it seemed this Wang family cultivator had left all the good stuff at home before going out. However, there was still one thing that proved without a doubt that he was the Foundation Building cultivator from the Bilin River Wang family. It was the note left by the Zhao family ancestor that Lin Qing had seen at the Zhao family, which was in this Wang family cultivator's storage bag.

Looking at this note, Lin Qing felt a bit emotional. This Zhao cultivator was truly generous, leaving behind the ancestor's note and not taking it with him. Lin Qing somewhat understood why this Wang family cultivator had spared the Zhao cultivator.

However, Lin Qing thought to himself that if this Wang family cultivator knew that the Zhao cultivator hadn't taken the ancestor's note but had taken a large amount of Foundation Building grass instead, he would definitely regret not killing the Zhao cultivator. Because if he had killed the Zhao cultivator, not only would he have obtained the Foundation Building grass, but he would have also avoided today's bloodshed. After all, Lin Qing had only acted against him because of this Foundation Building grass.

This Wang family cultivator seemed formidable at first, but he was defeated because he didn't eliminate the root of the problem. The Zhao family cultivators seemed old and had no hope of reaching Foundation Building, but no matter what, they were cultivators. Letting them go easily was digging their own grave.

After killing this Wang family cultivator, Lin Qing and Lin Xuzhe didn't say anything. It was his fate to encounter them.

After returning to the previous location, Lin Qing didn't let Lin Xuzhe dig, but instead had the Purple Gold Toad use its strength. The Purple Gold Toad crashed into the ground, creating a pit, and then fell into a cavity, making a muffled sound.

It seemed like it had broken through the building below in an instant.

Lin Qing carefully led Lin Xuzhe down the large hole. The hole wasn't deep, and after a few steps, they covered the hole on the ground, making it difficult to see from the outside.

Once inside, they lit an oil lamp, but both Lin Qing and Lin Xuzhe were somewhat disappointed.

Indeed, it was a building, but its area was only a little over three zhang. Apart from that, there were no other buildings around. This building seemed to be used for sacrificial purposes, with a humanoid stone statue placed at the front. It was unclear who it was, but it should be a figure from the Zhao sect's early days, perhaps even the founding ancestor.

"Dad, there doesn't seem to be anything here."

Lin Xuzhe turned around several times and shook his head. Apart from the stone statue in front of them, there were several cushions on the ground, which seemed to have been used for worship. This was not a treasure trove. In the past, it might have been very important to the Zhao sect as a place of worship, which was why it was not only in the secret realm but also underground. But now, it was useless. Who would worship a figure from a sect that existed two thousand years ago? They were not part of the Zhao sect.

Lin Qing was also somewhat disappointed. He had thought there would be a great opportunity inside, but he didn't expect to find such things.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qing was about to leave. However, as he looked at the large hole created by the Purple Gold Toad and the stone statue in front of him, Lin Qing came to the cushions and bowed, apologizing.

"We didn't mean to come here and disturb the peace. Please don't blame us."

After saying that, Lin Qing was about to leave, but before he could, a voice appeared in his mind: "Since you're already here, why not kneel?"

"This..."

Lin Qing was greatly shocked and looked at the stone statue in front of him.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Lin Xuzhe asked from the side.

Lin Qing didn't say anything and pointed at the cushions on the ground. Lin Xuzhe understood what he meant and also came to the cushions.

"This might be an opportunity. Let's kneel and give it a try," Lin Qing said.

After hearing this, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Qing knelt on the cushions in front of the stone statue. Seeing Lin Qing and Lin Xuzhe kneel, the Purple Gold Toad, curious, also lay on the last cushion.

As soon as they knelt down, a voice echoed in Lin Qing's mind: "Who are you, and why aren't you disciples of my Zhao sect?"

Lin Qing answered truthfully, "Senior, the Zhao Clan was already extinct two thousand years ago. I happened to come here by chance, and I hope for your understanding."

"Two thousand years ago?" The voice sighed and remained silent for a long time, while Lin Qing waited patiently.

"I never expected that the Zhao Clan I founded only lasted for three thousand years, and the younger generation is so incompetent."

Lin Qing didn't continue speaking. From the sound of it, this stone statue was indeed the founder of the Zhao Clan.

"You don't need to be afraid. I am a remnant soul responsible for rewarding disciples of the sect."

"Rewards?" Lin Qing's heart stirred.

The voice continued, "Of course, you don't need to think about it. These rewards are only for disciples of the Zhao Clan. Since the Zhao Clan has already been extinct, there's no need to distribute these rewards."

Lin Qing felt a bit disappointed. This hidden stone statue, with a trace of the founder's remnant soul, must have offered extraordinary rewards. But after two thousand years, were the rewards still available?

While Lin Qing was thinking, the voice spoke again, "But considering your sincerity and kindness, we have a connection today. I will ask you a few questions and give you a chance."

Lin Qing was overjoyed.

"Have you ever killed innocent people?"

Lin Qing thought for a moment. He had never done such a thing. The people he killed were all justified.

"Never."

"Are you wholeheartedly seeking the Dao?"

"Not really."

Lin Qing honestly replied that he wasn't wholeheartedly seeking the Dao. Before obtaining the Goldfinger, he had thought about getting married and having children, and that would be the end of his life.

"Do you have a heart that is dedicated to goodness?"

"Indeed."

At this moment, Lin Qing realized that although he couldn't wholeheartedly seek the Dao, he always had a heart dedicated to goodness.

"Good. Since that's the case, I will pass on to you a cultivation technique that I practiced in my original form, the Goodwater Divine Technique. In my opinion, this technique is quite suitable for you. With your talent as a Water Spirit Root, practicing this technique will yield twice the result with half the effort. In the future, continue to cultivate diligently until the Nascent Soul stage. Remember to be as good as water and live up to the name of the Goodwater Divine Technique and the Goodwater True Person."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cultivation technique appeared in Lin Qing's mind. He gratefully said, "Thank you, Goodwater True Person."

After transmitting the technique, the remnant soul continued to speak to Lin Qing, "I'm afraid that this awakening will be my last existence in this world. Can you tell me how the Zhao Kingdom is doing now?"

"Good," Lin Qing said, and then he began to talk. As he spoke, the remnant soul couldn't help but sigh.

He then lamented, "In the past, when I was at the level of a Gold Core True Person, I established the Zhao Clan, hoping for a thousand-year legacy. I used many methods, but unexpectedly, it only lasted for three thousand years. The world is unpredictable."

At this moment, something occurred to Lin Qing, and he asked, "May I ask, True Person, what level is the Gold Core?"

It was not surprising that Lin Qing asked this question. He was already close to the Purple Mansion stage, and with his natural spiritual root, the probability of a breakthrough was not small. With the Goodwater Divine Technique, the probability was even greater. Above the Purple Mansion stage was the Gold Core stage. The remnant soul had just mentioned that as long as he continued to cultivate, it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
