I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 206: Development

Originally located at the border between Qingfeng Sect and Wuji Sect, the Lin Family Mountain has now extended towards the direction of Wuji Sect, forming a long and narrow territory that stretches over three thousand miles. This territory eventually reaches the border of Yunzhou, with the endless sea beyond.

Within this area, there are six mining sites that have been discovered by Wuji Sect, all of which now belong to the Lin Family.

Among them, there is a second-grade spiritual vein and nearly ten first-grade spiritual veins, all of which originally belonged to Wuji Sect but now belong to the Lin Family.

However, a large portion of this area is covered by the Yandang Mountain Range. But with the current strength of the Lin Family, they are not afraid. In the future, they can set up formations and send cultivators to guard the area, ensuring a continuous supply of spiritual stones for Lin Qing.

Afterwards, there were no objections from the other five factions. They signed a contract within the Chiyang City and then announced it to the entire cultivation world of Zhao Country.

The entire Zhao Country was stirred, but no cultivator dared to come forward and oppose.

Who would dare?

Afterwards, Elder Qin and Elder Hu from the Lin Family left, while Lin Qing arrived at the Yipin Pavilion in the Chiyang Immortal City.

Lin Qing was not unfamiliar with the Yipin Pavilion.

After going upstairs, he spent three hundred spiritual stones to buy information about the Yan Kingdom's influence. Then he said, "I wonder if the esteemed pavilion is willing to open a branch in our Lin Family's gathering? We would be extremely welcoming."

Indeed, Lin Qing was thinking of having this Yipin Pavilion join their Lin Family gathering.

He thought that the Yipin Pavilion would consider it or something, but he didn't expect them to directly reply, "Our Yipin Pavilion currently has no plans to open a branch in Zhao Country. Thank you for the Lin Family's kind offer."

Lin Qing nodded, not minding it. If they didn't want to, then they didn't want to. This matter was just mentioned casually, and he probably didn't think highly of it.

After leaving the Chiyang Immortal City, Lin Qing looked through the purchased information and gained a better understanding of the Yan Kingdom.

As a neighboring country of Zhao, the Yan Kingdom has a larger territory and is closer to the central Yunzhou. Its resources are more abundant. Although they don't have Gold Core cultivators, they have many more Purple Mansion stage cultivators compared to Zhao. Currently, the Yan Kingdom has two major sects, the Haoyue Sect and the Tianxuan Sect, both of which have cultivators in the late Purple Mansion stage. The relationship between the two sects is good, and together they have eight or nine Purple Mansion stage cultivators. In addition to this, there are also two major clans, the Yan Family and the Yang Family, both of which have Purple Mansion stage cultivators. Among them, the Yan Family even has a mid-Purple Mansion stage cultivator.

After reading through it, Lin Qing felt that the Yan Kingdom was stronger, but not overwhelmingly so.

He also thought about the beast tide that the Yan Kingdom is currently facing, and his worries diminished slightly. Although the Yan Kingdom would not be able to invade Zhao Country, at least they wouldn't be defeated easily and could put up a fight. After all, the Yan Kingdom wouldn't dare to mobilize all of their cultivators, considering they are adjacent to the more powerful Wei Kingdom.

The information also mentioned that the Yan Kingdom used to have three major clans, including the Wu Family, but they were later annihilated by the joint forces of the Yan and Yang Families.

Thinking of the Wu Family books discovered in the cemetery, Lin Qing slowly connected these pieces of information in his mind.

Then he thought of Daoist Chiyang. Could it be that he left the Yan Family because of the Wu Family incident? Lin Qing couldn't help but speculate.

Put away this intelligence. As for the Yan Kingdom, he only has a superficial understanding and no further intentions. There are bigger things in front of him, which is to firmly secure the acquired territory.

Lin Qing calculated that the six mines obtained by their Lin family would generate nearly ten thousand spirit stones in income each year. This is a large sum of spirit stones that must be firmly held in their hands.

After returning to the Lin family, everyone in the Lin family was overjoyed.

Then, Lin Qing assigned tasks. Lin Xueze, Lin Xuqian, Lin Xusi, Lin Xuming, Lin Xutai, and Lin Xudan, the six Foundation Building cultivators, each led a group to a mine. First, they needed to investigate the situation and then resume the mining operations that were interrupted by the Wuji Sect.

Speaking of which, the Cold Iron Mine where Lin Xusi was located was originally a piece of land owned by the Lin family, but it is no longer needed now.

One reason is that the Wuji Sect has been destroyed, and the other reason is that there are better options. After all, this mine is a bit too close to the Qingfeng Sect.

The six Foundation Building cultivators were all ordered to go. Lin Qing then arranged defensive formations for each mine. In the future, these mines would become territories of their Lin family. Although the Lin family currently has fewer people, there will be many cultivators gathering in the future.

Speaking of the difficult times when the Wuji Sect encountered a disaster, the sect recalled all the cultivators stationed at the mines. But the Lin family didn't need to do that. Even if they encountered danger in the future and couldn't protect the Lin family's mountain, these cultivators from the mines should not go, but instead disperse and leave their bloodline for the Lin family.

This is another major difference between a family and a sect. It can be said that compared to a sect that relies on the bond between master and disciple and the benefits of spirit stones, a family has a greater advantage in continuity.

One of the territories they received includes a second-grade spiritual vein, which is close to the Endless Sea. When Lin Qing arrived there, he found that the Wuji Sect had not developed this spiritual vein. Instead, they were continuously excavating it, and this vein was about to drop to the first grade.

Lin Qing quickly protected it and then set up formations. In the future, the descendants of the family could come here to cultivate and develop the land.

The Wuji Sect didn't cherish this spiritual vein, but Lin Qing cherished it very much.

Lin Qing also considered whether to use the fake spiritual marrow here. This spiritual vein could reach the third grade, but after some thought, he gave up. First, their Lin family couldn't defend two third-grade spiritual veins at the moment, and second, Lin Qing wanted to improve the quality of the spiritual veins on the Lin family's mountain. It's better to have one good spiritual vein than multiple mediocre ones.

After dealing with various trivial matters, three months had passed.

Lin Qing stood on the Lin family's mountain and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the family's foundation had expanded again and the Zhao Kingdom had entered a stable period, their Lin family should seize this time to develop further.

Looking at the smaller Lin family gathering compared to before, Lin Qing suddenly thought of something.

The territory they obtained this time includes the previous Qingmuji. Qingmuji was destroyed back then and has not been rebuilt all these years because they couldn't catch Blood Sea Old Demon. But now that everything has settled, Qingmuji can be rebuilt.

This is not because Lin Qing is nostalgic, but because Qingmuji has a unique location. After it is established, it can also serve as a branch of their Lin family gathering. Moreover, since the Baibao Tower has taken over the Wuji Sect's Xuan Yu Pavilion, it will definitely have some influence on the Lin family gathering in the future, so they must be prepared.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing entrusted this matter to Lin Xuzhe, who had returned from the mine.

For the newly acquired mines, having Qi Refining cultivators is enough. It would be a waste to have Foundation Building cultivators there.

Lin Xuzhe, who was entrusted with this task by Lin Qing, was somewhat excited. Although he had never lived in Qingmuji, he had heard from Li Qingyu, who was still alive, about Qingmuji. Thinking that this was the place where his father and mother had lived back then, he had some special feelings in his heart.
