I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 212: Starry Flower

Upon hearing Fan Dan's words, Lin Zhiling couldn't help but say, "If only you had sought me out after breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining, we would have met then. You would have been a pill refiner and more than enough to marry into our Lin family."

Fan Dan shook his head. "I have thought about it, but I was afraid it wouldn't be safe. That's why I cultivated all the way to Foundation Building. Zhiling, I want to ensure nothing goes wrong with you."

Upon hearing Fan Dan's heartfelt confession, Lin Zhiling was moved once again. She said, "Let's leave the past behind and cherish the present."

Fan Dan nodded, but at this moment, he took out something, a bottle of elixir.

"Zhiling, I am a pill refiner. With me around, there will be no shortage of elixirs. You can take this elixir today and cultivate. It might even help you reach the Foundation Building stage."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiling shook her head sadly. "I have taken elixirs over the years, but my aptitude is not enough to break through even to the late stage of Qi Refining, let alone Foundation Building."

Fan Dan was somewhat pleased to hear this. Lin Zhiling looked at him strangely, and Fan Dan took out something else.

It was a spiritual herb that Lin Zhiling couldn't recognize. She asked, "What is this?"

Fan Dan smiled. "This can change your aptitude. I can't say for sure, but it can definitely raise you to the Four Spiritual Roots."

"What?" Lin Zhiling exclaimed in astonishment, while Fan Dan looked somewhat proud.

This matter was related to the attack on the Limitless Sect. Fan Dan had gained a lot from that operation. As a pill refiner, he had picked many precious herbs from the Limitless Sect's medicinal field and managed to escape early on.

His ability to reach the Foundation Building stage also relied on this. As for the spiritual herb he had now, it was useless to him but held great significance for Lin Zhiling.

Fan Dan proudly said, "Zhiling, this spiritual herb is called the Starry Flower. Although it doesn't have much effect on improving spiritual roots, it is extremely precious. If this spiritual herb were to be sold outside, it would be worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones, and that's the lowest price."

"What?" Lin Zhiling exclaimed once again.

Fan Dan put away the spiritual herb and said, "Wait a few days, and I will refine a pill for you using this herb and several other auxiliary herbs. After taking it, you will find it easy to break through not only to the late stage of Qi Refining but also to the Foundation Building stage with me by your side."

Lin Zhiling had not yet recovered from her shock. This news was truly astonishing to her.

Meanwhile, Fan Dan appeared much calmer.

He took out the handkerchief again and looked at it. A smile appeared on Fan Dan's face, as if he had returned to the past.

He had spent countless long nights like this.

Fortunately, he didn't need to anymore.

Putting away the handkerchief, Fan Dan glanced at the person beside him. His eyes were filled with a rare deep affection.

If this deep affection were on a handsome man, countless women would be infatuated with him. But Fan Dan, at the age of eighty, had finally found his person. Fortunately, it wasn't too late.

There was still time.

The Lin Family is going to hold an auction.

This news quickly spread among the scattered cultivators, and the entire Zhao Kingdom became aware of it.

This is Lin Qing's idea. With the gradual recovery of strength in the cultivation world of Zhao Kingdom, it is a good time to hold an auction, which will bring many benefits to the Lin Family.

Although the Lin Family has been well-known in the cultivation world of Zhao Kingdom for many years, there are still many scattered cultivators who have not come. Taking advantage of this auction, it is an opportunity to attract those who have not been here before and make the Lin Family even more prosperous.

Speaking of which, there are three major gathering places for scattered cultivators in Zhao Kingdom.

One is naturally the Red Sun Immortal City, the second is the Purple Green Market jointly opened by the Qingfeng Sect and the Xianxia Sect, and the third is the Lin Family Collection in the Lin Family Mountain.

These three major gathering places for scattered cultivators accommodate nearly 70% of the scattered cultivators in Zhao Kingdom, while the rest are scattered in various small collections and markets.

Before the chaos in Zhao Kingdom, there were other gathering places for scattered cultivators, big or small. However, after the chaos, these gathering places were destroyed. Even if they were not destroyed, they are now living difficult lives under the influence of these three major gathering places for scattered cultivators.

Take the Xuan Yu Market that the Baibao Tower obtained as an example. As their spoils of war in attacking the Wuji Sect, the Baibao Tower also intended to manage it well. However, after so many years, the Xuan Yu Market has not improved. The reason for this is that the Lin Family Collection nearby has absorbed too many scattered cultivators.

Lin Qing's intention to hold this auction is also to further consolidate the position of the Lin Family Collection.

For the Baibao Tower, although the various forces in Zhao Kingdom have not explicitly stated it, they have reached a consensus to exclude the Baibao Tower.

The rapid change is also due to certain reasons.

One is that the Wuji Sect was destroyed, and now Zhao Kingdom no longer needs external assistance. The other is that the Baibao Tower has shown too much strength in dealing with the Wuji Sect, even producing two broken prohibition talismans in a row, which is frightening.

Fortunately, the Baibao Tower's two mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivators fell in the hands of the Wuji Sect, otherwise the Baibao Tower would have dominated Zhao Kingdom by now.

Speaking of these two mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivators falling, it is a great loss for the Baibao Tower. Their power is great, but having two mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivators in the Upper Cloud State is also a considerable force.

Moreover, the beast tide in Yan Kingdom is still ongoing. Not only in Yan Kingdom, but also in the neighboring Wei Kingdom, there have been beast tides. The Baibao Tower has invested more in these two countries than in Zhao Kingdom, so they are somewhat too busy to take care of Zhao Kingdom. The only one left in Zhao Kingdom is the Elder Meng.

In this background, Lin Qing's decision to hold this auction is strongly supported by the other forces.

Hua Xiu, the clone of the Red Sun Immortal City, as a Purple Mansion cultivator, cannot leave the Red Sun Immortal City, so he sent a gift.

The Qingfeng Sect and the Xianxia Sect even sent Purple Mansion cultivators.

They are all acquaintances of Lin Qing. Qin Laozu of the Qingfeng Sect and Hu Laozu of the Xianxia Sect are both here to help.

With Lin Qing, there are three Purple Mansion cultivators present. Just from this point, it can be seen that this auction is extraordinary.

The Lin Family has also made many preparations and has brought out many precious materials. They will also release ten Foundation Building Pills at this auction. Although Foundation Building Grass is not as precious as before due to the Foundation Building Grass revealed by the Wuji Sect, ten Foundation Building Pills in a row is still a number that can shock people.

With ten pills, at least three or four scattered cultivators can successfully build their foundation.

This is also something that the Lin Family and the other forces have tacitly agreed upon. Now that Zhao Kingdom is recovering rapidly, as forces, they naturally need to put in more effort behind the scenes.

Scattered cultivators may only see what is happening in front of them, but they have a longer-term perspective.

For the Lin Family, these ten Foundation Building Pills are nothing. They have already acquired dozens of Foundation Building Grasses, and releasing ten Foundation Building Pills is a simple matter.

As for the younger generation of the Lin Family, those who can take them have already taken them. In just ten years, there are three new Foundation Building cultivators, which can be said to be incomparable to the past.
