I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 217: Lin Xuqing's Celebration of Purple Mansion

Speaking of the spiritual veins of the Lin family mountain, these spiritual veins have already advanced to the third rank since before the attack on the Wuji Sect. It has been thirty years now, and during this time, a drop of spiritual liquid, equivalent to one person's portion, has been produced. This spiritual liquid is the essence of the third rank spiritual veins and greatly assists cultivators in breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage.

After collecting the spiritual liquid, Lin Qing looked at it and thought to himself that if he had this spiritual liquid back then, his success rate would have been terrifyingly high. However, even though he didn't have it, he still successfully broke through.

This time, collecting this spiritual liquid serves another purpose.

Lin Xuqing, relying on his good aptitude and extraordinary talent in alchemy, has had smooth breakthroughs in recent years. Now, at less than 140 years old, he has vaguely touched the threshold of the Purple Mansion stage.

With his aptitude and this drop of spiritual liquid, he has about a thirty percent chance of breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage. This is already quite high.

Lin Qing handed the spiritual liquid to Lin Xuqing, who was prepared for it, without saying anything. He only gave Lin Xuqing an encouraging look. Lin Xuqing nodded, took the spiritual liquid, and prepared to seclude himself for the breakthrough.

To be honest, Lin Xuqing, who had been smooth sailing all along, was also quite nervous at this moment.

This is the Purple Mansion stage. Breaking through to this stage adds an average of 350 years to one's lifespan, which is two more cycles than the Foundation Building stage. What does this concept mean? For ordinary people, from birth to growing up, and then to achieving something in their prime, they can only count on about thirty years, carefully calculating. The rest of the time is either too young or already lacking in energy.

However, in the cultivation world, there is no such saying. As long as one's lifespan is not over, their strength will not decline.

In other words, as long as he breaks through to the Purple Mansion stage, he will gain an additional lifespan equivalent to four lifetimes of an ordinary person. In the future, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide, and everything is uncertain.

But if he fails to break through, although he still has seventy to eighty years of lifespan in the Foundation Building stage, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels that this time is too short.

Moreover, he is not just at the early or middle stage of the Foundation Building stage. He has already reached the peak of the Foundation Building stage. It would be a pity if he doesn't break through.

Of course, in the eyes of some cultivators, breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage seems a bit unfair.

Why?

Because becoming a Qi Refining cultivator already doubles the average lifespan of an ordinary person, allowing them to live over a hundred years. Then, breaking through to the Foundation Building stage doubles it again, giving them over two hundred years. Logically, breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage should add another four hundred years or more, but it only adds around three hundred years. This is considered unfair. Moreover, this additional lifespan is not enough when facing increasingly difficult subsequent realms.

In fact, what these cultivators don't know is that the path of cultivation is something that can only be achieved with extremely high talent and background. These people have the opportunity to glimpse the path to the heavens, while most others are just accompanying them on the journey.

They think that the time in the Purple Mansion stage is short, but they don't know that in certain places, certain geniuses reach the Foundation Building stage at twenty years old and break through to the Purple Mansion stage before sixty.

The Purple Mansion stage has a lifespan of 350 years. If you calculate it like this, isn't the time still quite long?

For cultivators with mediocre aptitude, gaining additional lifespan after breaking through a realm is a great blessing from heaven. When you think about it, it's not that difficult to understand.

Lin Xuqing doesn't have the desire to become an immortal. For him, being able to break through to the Purple Mansion stage and have a lifespan of 350 years is already satisfying enough.

He doesn't dare to hope for a higher realm.

Of course, this also has to do with his spiritual roots. If he had dual spiritual roots, he might still yearn for the path of the Gold Core stage. But he only has triple spiritual roots. Being able to reach this point today is already extremely lucky, and being able to reach the Purple Mansion stage is even luckier.

After closing himself off, Lin Xuqing adjusted his state and took a dose of spiritual liquid.

Once he took the spiritual liquid, Lin Xuqing felt as if his whole body was immersed in spiritual energy, which was truly comfortable. However, he didn't become addicted. Instead, he operated his cultivation technique and continuously broke through towards the Purple Mansion.

Before this, Lin Qing had also told him about the experience of breaking through the Purple Mansion, so it wasn't difficult at first.

Everything went smoothly until the third day. However, just like Elder Zhu before, when he was about to become a Purple Mansion cultivator, the inner demon in his heart broke through.

At this moment, Lin Xuqing felt somewhat guilty. Compared to his father, who had always been setting up formations outside, and his two brothers who had gone on adventures early on, since he started cultivating, he had always been under the protection of the Lin family, never lacking in cultivation resources, and had never encountered any dangerous situations. Now, he had even taken precious spiritual liquid. Moreover, what made him feel even more excessive was that he had used many resources to refine evil pills, wasting the family's cultivation resources.

For a moment, this kind of emotion surged up, causing his emotions to fluctuate.

At this moment, he also thought of what his father, Lin Qing, had said about staying calm and not being disturbed, but the inner demon came fiercely, making it difficult for him to remain calm.

Although he tried his best not to follow the inner demon, his heart couldn't help but waver.

Like a precarious building swaying in the strong wind, it made people doubt whether it would collapse at any moment.

Lin Xuqing wanted to find a fulcrum to stabilize himself, but the fleeting faces kept eluding him. Just as he saw the building about to collapse, Lin Xuqing finally found a fulcrum and calmed down.

He regrouped and broke through towards the Purple Mansion.

This fulcrum was none other than his son, Lin Zhidan. He had always been devoted to cultivating his son, just as the Lin family had always cultivated him. This kind of inheritance made him calm down.

The spiritual energy of the third-stage spiritual meridian began to fluctuate. For Lin Qing, Lin Xuqing's breakthrough to the Purple Mansion was extremely beneficial to the family.

With his mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivation, combined with Lin Xuqing, they were already considered a first-class force in the Zhao Kingdom, not to mention the hidden Purple Gold Toad.

It started to rain in the sky. Although they were deep inside a cave, Lin Qing still noticed it. This reminded Lin Qing of the scene when he broke through the Foundation Building stage in the Chiyang Immortal City. It was also raining at that time.

Could this be a good omen?

Lin Qing thought well. After half an hour of rain, the aura of the Purple Mansion arrived.

The closed door opened, and Lin Xuqing respectfully said to Lin Qing, "Father, I didn't let you down."

"Good, good, good!"

Lin Qing exclaimed a few times, looking at this child who tried to maintain his composure but couldn't help but be happy. He said loudly, "Xuqing, if you want to smile, then smile. Laugh as much as you want. This is in our Lin family's mountain, not anywhere else."

Upon hearing these words, Lin Xuqing first let out a sigh of relief, then looked up and couldn't help but shed tears.

Lin Qing knew that this was a gesture of happiness even greater than laughter.

"Go and see your mother," Lin Qing said.

Lin Xuqing nodded and went to see Che Yun. Over the years, although Che Yun had successfully reached the Foundation Building stage, she had only reached the mid-stage. Even her alchemy skills were only at the lower second-grade level. Compared to her child, who was now shining brightly, she was far behind.

But seeing her son become a Purple Mansion cultivator, Che Yun was happier than anyone else.
