I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 207: Rebuilding Qingmuji

Afterwards, the reconstruction began, and Lin Qing also went there.

Looking at the stone foundation of Qingmuji, which remained intact over the years, Lin Qing suddenly returned to the past, back to the scene of ordinary people pulling and pushing stones from the mountains to expand Qingmuji. He could even see the faces of those ordinary people who were pulling stones so clearly. Back then, he was still holding Lin Xuen, and even bought sugar-coated haws.

Breaking free from the memories, Lin Qing looked at the ordinary people who now belonged to the Lin family city, just like back then, pulling and pushing stones to rebuild Qingmuji. Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh.

A small market, so many things left for him.

Even as he thought about it, Lin Qing thought of Chao Yun again, thinking of her kneeling outside Qingmuji, watching him, an immortal.

After taking one last look at Qingmuji, Lin Qing left.

He didn't dare to stay here for too long.

It's better to come back after it's built.

No, even after it's built, he should come less often.

The reconstruction of Qingmuji will not only affect the Lin family. Over a hundred years ago, when Qingmuji was destroyed, the ordinary people who lived around Qingmuji scattered and fled. Over the years, some have already forgotten, while others have learned a thing or two from their ancestors.

Now that they see Qingmuji being rebuilt, some ordinary people think about how their ancestors made a living here, and they have ideas of their own. Perhaps they can do it too.

Forty miles away from Qingmuji is a village, where about half of the ordinary people who fled from Qingmuji gathered.

When the news of Qingmuji's reconstruction came, three people walked out of this village towards Qingmuji in just a few days.

Among these three people, one of them was already quite old, judging from their appearance, they seemed to be a midwife.

"Aunt Wang, you're almost sixty, and you still want to go?" a young man next to her asked.

"You, Li family boy, why can't Aunt Wang go? Qingmuji will have immortals in the future, and they will have children. Don't they need me? My aunt was a midwife back then..."

"But she was also a midwife, and she received five taels of gold for each delivery, right? How many times have you said this?" the two people beside her laughed and said.

"Don't interrupt me, let me finish. My aunt was a midwife for an immortal, and that immortal gave her five taels of gold for each delivery. You guys envy that, don't you? Even if I say it ten thousand times, it's a true story, not something you can compare with those bragging stories."

As Aunt Wang spoke, her smile was radiant, but judging from her age, she was like a withered flower.

After finishing her own story, she looked at the two young men beside her and asked, "Hey, you two Li family boys, why don't you stay in the village and come out to do something?"

The two Li family boys smiled, "Aunt Wang, your aunt was a midwife back then, and our ancestors used to live in Qingmuji. If you can go, why can't we?"

"You little brat, you're talking big. Your teeth will fall out from laughing," Aunt Wang clearly didn't believe it, but the two Li family boys looked at each other and had an unknown certainty in their eyes.

In their family, it has been passed down that their ancestors were immortals in Qingmuji. This is something that cannot be faked. They didn't dare to think about it back then when their ancestors lived in Qingmuji, but if they could make a fortune in Qingmuji this time, they would be satisfied, just like their ancestors, marrying seven or eight wives.

However, when the three of them arrived, to Aunt Wang's disappointment, Qingmuji was still under construction. Not to mention immortals, there were only strong men among these ordinary people, and there was no need for midwives.

But since they had come, she didn't want to go back.

Afterwards, I found a job as a cook and decided to stay. The two sons of the Li family also joined the construction team, earning two taels of silver each per month. With this money, they could cultivate more land and it wouldn't be difficult for them to marry in the future.

On this day, they were assigned to renovate the original market's brickwork.

The two of them gathered together, holding tools and flipping the bricks. These bricks had been damaged over the past century and would be replaced with new ones.

What Wang Shen said about their ancestors being immortals was not wrong. Lin Qing even knew Li Fellow Daoist, who used to run a material shop nearby.

When the Qingmu Village incident happened, Li Fellow Daoist knew about it earlier than others, but how could he escape from the long-planned Blood Sea Demon? In the end, he tragically died. However, his descendants, living as ordinary people outside the village, managed to survive. Over the years, they multiplied, and these two sons of the Li family were his descendants.

It was quite a coincidence that these two boys were assigned to Li Fellow Daoist's shop. They worked hard, digging up the bricks, unaware that this was the place where their ancestor had once lived. Perhaps there were traces of his blood seeped into the ground.

After digging up Li Fellow Daoist's shop, they moved on to Lin Qing's shop, and that's when trouble started.

They unearthed a pile of gold beneath the bricks.

Over the years, Lin Qing had long forgotten about this gold. The reconstruction was just a reminiscence of the past Qingmu Village. Unexpectedly, these two Li family boys dug it up.

As soon as they dug it up, they immediately hid it. After all, in their eyes, this gold might have been left by the immortals of the past. It was their opportunity and belonged to them.

After digging, the two of them obtained more than twenty taels of gold and then quit their jobs.

No one stopped them; instead, they were even paid their wages.

On the way back to the village, the two of them couldn't help but discuss.

"Why would there be gold underground? Could it be that we are destined to become rich?"

"I don't know, but Wang Shen's grandmother received five taels of gold for delivering a baby. Can't we dig up gold too?"

"True, it's hard to say when it comes to immortals."

Back in the village, the two of them got married and had children within a few years, surpassing Li Fellow Daoist's achievements.

These children would have spiritual roots in the future and would stay in Qingmu Village. They would rent a shop and become wandering cultivators.

Of course, this is a story for another time.

Qingmu Village is still under construction, and Lin Qing is unaware of all this. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Instead, he would marvel at the wonders of the world. Every sip and every bite has its own destiny, and who can predict the outcome of past and future events?

In the past two years, Qingmu Village has been completed, similar in size to the expansion. Lin Qing has set up a second-grade middle-quality formation for it.

After that, the village opened, but there weren't many cultivators. Lin Qing was just preparing for his Lin family. The rise and fall of this village are not so important to him now.

In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed. Lin Qing is already 185 years old and, relying on his high aptitude, has advanced to the second level of the Purple Mansion. He will reach the third level before he turns 200.

During these eight years, the number of cultivators in the rebuilt Qingmu Village has increased significantly, reaching fifty-six.

In these years, not only cultivators but also ordinary people have gathered here, surpassing the original Qingmu Village in every aspect.
