I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 215: Third-grade Superior Spirit Vein

Lin Xuchang also wrote with a pen, "Father, this is great news. Our Lin family will no longer fear anyone in the Zhao Kingdom in the future."

Lin Qing nodded and wrote, "Xuchang, father knows that your breakthrough is also for the sake of the family. However, now that the family's strength is stable, father believes that we should prioritize ourselves. Although father doesn't know what method you used, seeing the painful price you have paid, father is always uneasy."

A trace of sadness appeared on Lin Xuchang's face as he wrote, "Father, I broke through for the sake of the family, but also for myself. It is worth it no matter how much price I have to pay. If I hadn't broken through the Foundation Building stage, I'm afraid I would have died long ago. Father, you don't need to persuade me."

Lin Qing fell silent. For some people, breaking through the Foundation Building stage seemed hopeless, and they focused on living a fulfilling life afterwards. But for Lin Xuchang, he had sacrificed too much in exchange for the possibility of breaking through the Foundation Building stage. However, his life was not as fulfilling after the Foundation Building stage.

"Xuchang, father is very worried about you," Lin Qing wrote again.

"Father, don't worry, I will be fine," Lin Xuchang wrote.

Speaking of the turtle shell that had always helped him break through, Lin Xuchang had also studied it over the years. This turtle shell had provided him with a lot of help in breaking through, but it had also caused him to lose a lot. Lin Xuchang was also thinking about whether he could completely master this turtle shell. If he could, everything would be solved.

And now, he had some clues.

However, before that, he couldn't stop. It was no longer a situation where he could choose not to use the turtle shell. The situation was difficult to explain, especially since he couldn't speak now and could only write.

Lin Qing looked at his son and nodded, then wrote again.

"I don't want to ask too much about your matters, and I know you don't want others to know your secret. But remember, father has always been concerned about you."

"I know," Lin Xuchang wrote.

Lin Qing then left. Watching his father leave, tears flowed from Lin Xuchang's intact eye.

After a long time, he took out the turtle shell and brought it close to his eyes. He became deeply fascinated, or rather, entranced.

He was already 140 years old and had never been close to women in his life. Since obtaining this turtle shell, he had been focused on breaking through and reaching higher realms, even if it meant losing everything.

But now, he was starting to waver.

In the late Foundation Building stage, a realm he had never thought of before, he had already reached it.

But after reaching it, he felt no ripples in his heart. It seemed that the late Foundation Building stage was not important to him.

Recalling the scene when he was excited and couldn't sleep after breaking through the fourth level of Qi Refining as a child, Lin Xuchang couldn't help but question himself when he thought about breaking through the late Foundation Building stage. Was his choice right or wrong?

When he abandoned everything and relied on this object to improve his cultivation, was it right or wrong?

He thought of his deceased mother, Li Qingyu, and his younger brother, Lin Xuyuan. He didn't know what kind of person he was now, living in this world.

Throughout his life, he had been struggling with his five spiritual roots. He wanted to break through, he wanted to reach the Foundation Building stage.

But now, he was thinking about another kind of life.

If he hadn't obtained this turtle shell, what would have happened? Perhaps he would have listened to his father's words early on, married and had children. When his lifespan came to an end, would there be children mourning at his grave?

Lin Xuchang remained silent, as did the turtle shell in his hand. The two seemed to be connected as one.

The treasure he unintentionally obtained has determined the fate of his entire life.

After returning from Lin Xuchang's residence, Lin Qing felt somewhat helpless.

The reason why he didn't ask Lin Xuchang for specific reasons now is because he knows that even if he asks, it would be of no use.

As a Purple Mansion stage cultivator, he can't help Lin Xuchang in any way.

Perhaps when he reaches the Gold Core stage, Lin Qing thought, if he can elevate himself to the Gold Core stage, maybe he can unravel the mystery surrounding his son.

With this in mind, Lin Qing decided to use the pseudo spirit marrow he obtained, allowing the Lin family's main vein to improve its grade, which would also benefit his cultivation.

He hadn't used it before because he was worried that his strength was insufficient.

As a Purple Mansion stage cultivator, he couldn't protect a third-grade superior spirit vein. But now, things are different. With the Purple Golden Toad, even if it is revealed in the future, no one in the Zhao Kingdom would dare to covet it.

Afterward, Lin Qing took out the pseudo spirit marrow and placed it into the main vein.

Soon, changes occurred. First, the spiritual energy became exceptionally abundant, and then each branch vein improved its grade. The second-grade medium spirit vein of the Lin family's collection was directly elevated to the second-grade superior level, which is extremely rare in the Zhao Kingdom.

The first-grade superior spirit vein of the Lin family's city was directly elevated to the second-grade level, which is a luxury for ordinary people living in the Lin family's city.

Such abundant spiritual energy not only benefits the physical bodies of the residents but also increases the possibility of giving birth to spiritual roots for future generations.

Not to mention the spiritual lake, spiritual field, and medicinal field, where the spiritual energy is extremely abundant, greatly benefiting the spiritual plants.

As for the main vein, it was elevated to the third-grade superior level after half a year.

At this time, Lin Qing thought of that steward Zhu and the scene where he was forced when he came to the Lin family's mountain. Lin Qing couldn't help but think that if it weren't for steward Zhu's coercion, none of the subsequent events would have happened, and he would never have obtained so many benefits in the Infinite Sect, let alone this extremely precious pseudo spirit marrow.

At that time, it seemed like a very unfortunate event, but unexpectedly, now, after several decades, it has become a good thing.

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and it doesn't deceive me.

After the elevation of the main vein and the Purple Golden Toad's Purple Mansion, Lin Qing once again devoted his energy to cultivation.

Now that there is nothing happening in the Zhao Kingdom, for someone like him who doesn't need to scramble for resources, cultivation is the only choice. It can be said that after his cultivation level improved, it became much less monotonous than before.

Five years later, when Lin Qing was two hundred years old, Xiao Qian passed away.

Lin Qing had become indifferent to this. Now he is destined to face the departure of many people, and he can only become indifferent.

But when Xiao Qian passed away, there was another thing that caught Lin Qing's interest.

Fifteen years ago, their Lin family took in a Foundation Building stage alchemist, Fan Dan Shi. Fifteen years have passed, and Fan Dan Shi hasn't made any breakthroughs in terms of cultivation, but the descendants of the Lin family who formed a Dao couple with Fan Dan Shi have actually reached the Foundation Building stage.

Lin Qing remembers this descendant, Lin Zhiling. It was her name that left a deep impression on Lin Qing.

To be honest, when he heard that she reached the Foundation Building stage, Lin Qing was extremely surprised. He knew that Lin Zhiling is a descendant of Lin Xuyuan, and her aptitude is only five spiritual roots. In these years, the Lin family only had Lin Xuchang as a Foundation Building cultivator with five spiritual roots. The others all had four spiritual roots, which is an iron rule in the cultivation world. So how come there is now another Foundation Building cultivator with five spiritual roots?

Back then, Lin Qing only remembered Lin Zhiling because of her name, but now it is her cultivation level that has made Lin Qing curious.
