I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 187: Taking Turns (Part 1)

Qin Laozu said again, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I'm afraid you already know about the situation in Zhao Country. The Wujizong has been suppressing everyone for so many years, and there has long been dissatisfaction. Now that everyone has united, it is the perfect opportunity to eliminate this malignant tumor and bring peace to Zhao Country."

Lin Qing didn't rush to answer. He thought to himself that the way the Wujizong was acting was not good, and he also had a grudge against them. He remembered that they didn't let him in back then. But Qin Laozu said that there has long been dissatisfaction and they want to unite to eliminate it. In Lin Qing's opinion, it's just because the Wujizong is currently weak. If the Wujizong were strong, the one being eliminated now would probably be the "wrongdoer" Chiyang Immortal City.

"Our Qingfeng Sect and Xianxia Sect now have a total of five Purple Mansions, two in the middle stage and three in the early stage. Not to mention Senior Brother Chiyang, who has astonishing strength in the late stage of the Purple Mansion. Baibao Tower also has two Purple Mansions assisting this time, one in the middle stage and one in the early stage. As for the Wujizong, they only have one in the late stage and one in the middle stage. The difference in strength is extremely large," Qin Laozu said again, and Lin Qing understood his meaning.

After thinking about it, regardless of the grudge with the Wujizong in the past, the relationship with the Qingfeng Sect, and the current difference in strength, the Lin family must stand on the side of the Qingfeng Sect. Of course, the Lin family can also rely on the Sword Water Divine Formation and stay out of it. But as Qin Laozu said, if they miss this opportunity, when the dust settles in the future, the Lin family won't have any share. This is a crisis and also an opportunity.

At this moment, Lin Qing spoke, "Master Qin, let's not talk about the Qingfeng Sect. Just between you and me, as juniors, how can I join forces with the Wujizong?"

"Hahaha." Qin Laozu laughed heartily again.

"And, with such a powerful force on this side, I can clearly see who is strong and who is weak. Joining you all will benefit me no matter what," Lin Qing said again.

"Exactly, exactly."

Qin Laozu was extremely satisfied, especially with Lin Qing's previous words, which made him even happier.

"With the fate between you and me as juniors, we should get closer," Qin Laozu said again.

"That's right."

As Lin Qing and Qin Laozu continued talking, they became happier and happier. They ordered more wine and drank until the end. Qin Laozu's face was already flushed, but before leaving, he said to Lin Qing, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you should prepare early. The time is approaching, at most half a year."

Lin Qing's heart trembled, knowing the meaning behind Qin Laozu's words, and replied, "I understand."

"I will notify you in advance," Qin Laozu said again, and Lin Qing nodded.

This is about breaking through the Purple Mansion. If he doesn't break through, Lin Qing would still be in the dark. Only half a year, this time is too tight, or rather, the Qingfeng Sect has already prepared early.

After bidding farewell to Qin Laozu, Lin Qing was greeted by another person, the Purple Mansion late stage master of the Wujizong himself. This master's surname is Zhong, and his strength is considered the best in Zhao Country. Even Senior Brother Chiyang is weaker when facing him.

"Master Zhong, it is truly an honor for my Lin family to have you visit our mountain," Lin Qing said politely.

"Master Lin, appearances can be deceiving. I didn't expect that Master Lin could also break through the Purple Mansion. It truly makes one look at you with admiration," Master Zhong said.

However, this statement may have been premeditated, and Lin Qing felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Although Lord Zhong seems to be congratulating him, what does it mean that appearances can be deceiving? Does his own face not meet the standards of the Purple Mansion? The way he said it, it's as if he can never break through to the Purple Mansion in his lifetime.

Even though he thought so, Lin Qing still modestly smiled and said, "Forget about Lord Zhong, even I myself couldn't have imagined that breaking through to the Purple Mansion was a stroke of extreme luck."

"En, you have a clear understanding," Lord Zhong said again.

With this statement, Lin Qing completely lost his temper. He understood why the previous negotiations with this Lord Zhong in Chiyang Immortal City failed and even turned into a fight. No one would like this way of speaking. If it was in the past, it would be fine, but now that the Zhao Kingdom has to deal with the Infinite Sect, speaking like this is asking for trouble.

"The mountains and waters of the Lin family are beautiful and make people yearn for them," Lord Zhong mentioned the Lin family mountain again, but Lin Qing did not respond this time.

At this moment, Lord Zhong kept praising the scenery of the Lin family, and Lin Qing looked at him and thought, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you didn't come before, so why are you here now? You should understand why you keep praising the scenery.

Of course, Lin Qing's thoughts were somewhat subjective, but Lord Zhong's style of doing things was indeed lacking.

Even within their Infinite Sect, there were many problems. Lin Qing felt that Lord Zhong often used his power to oppress others.

Speaking of which, Lord Zhong is indeed powerful, but he is weaker in terms of social skills. It would be better if he became a senior elder of the sect instead of the sect master. Of course, with his late-stage Purple Mansion strength as the sect master, no one dares to say anything within the Infinite Sect. But it is obvious that it would have been a better choice to select a cultivator who is more skilled in social interactions as the sect master, which would probably be more beneficial to the Infinite Sect.

However, with Lord Zhong's late-stage Purple Mansion strength and his love for power, who in the Infinite Sect would dare to say anything?

After a long time, after praising the scenery, Lord Zhong finally looked at Lin Qing and said, "Master Lin, I know that there have been some misunderstandings between us in the past, but now that you have broken through to the Purple Mansion, in my opinion, there is no need to dwell on these matters. Today, let's talk about other things."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing felt uncomfortable again.

How could they not talk about it? Previously, the steward Zhu of your Infinite Sect forced our Lin family to the point where we almost had to leave. How can we just let it go without discussing it? Even if we don't talk about it, there should still be some compensation. For example, the Cold Iron Mine that you took 15,000 spirit stones from our Lin family. Now you're just brushing it off with a few words?

Now that I have broken through to the Purple Mansion, not only should we talk about it, but we should talk about it extensively.

At this moment, Lord Zhong continued, "Master Lin, now that the situation in the Zhao Kingdom is in chaos, many people are hoping for internal strife among us in the Zhao Kingdom. In my opinion, we in the Zhao Kingdom cannot fight each other. Fighting would be detrimental to the entire Zhao Kingdom."

Lin Qing nodded at this point. This statement was indeed correct. Fighting would indeed be detrimental to the Zhao Kingdom. But now it's not a matter of whether you want to fight or not, it's that others want to fight you, and you can only respond.

"Master Lin, although we have never met before, this meeting can be considered quite fateful. Now that the situation in the Zhao Kingdom is so chaotic, I wonder what plans the Lin family has?" Lord Zhong said again.

Before Lin Qing could answer, Lord Zhong continued, "In my opinion, why not join forces with our Infinite Sect, or directly join our Infinite Sect? I can guarantee that if the Lin family joins our Infinite Sect, the treatment you receive will be beyond imagination. Even you, Master Lin, becoming a vice sect master in the future would be extremely simple. It's much better than being a king in your current Lin family mountain. Our Infinite Sect is the top sect among the three major sects in the Zhao Kingdom."

Lin Qing took a deep breath. This Lin family mountain was clearly a family he had established nearly sixty years ago. Why does this statement sound like a group of monkeys claiming to be kings in the mountains?
