I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 230: The Arrival of the Beast Tide

Lin Qing was influenced by its indulgent posture and couldn't help but eat a piece of honey. It was full of spiritual energy and very sweet, but there was no other feeling.

After eating this piece of honey, the two-headed bear looked at Lin Qing with a submissive gaze. Lin Qing was delighted and began to attempt a contract.

However, midway through the process, the two-headed bear suddenly resisted and failed.

But Lin Qing was not discouraged. He had the queen bee bring out more honey, not believing that this two-headed bear wouldn't submit.

Then, enticed by the honey, the two-headed bear finally became Lin Qing's spirit beast, his third spirit beast. It was a great help for the upcoming beast tide.

After becoming a spirit beast, Lin Qing gave it the remaining palm-sized pieces of honey.

The two-headed bear couldn't wait to eat them, but after finishing, it was still unsatisfied and wanted more. Seeing that Lin Qing didn't have any, it looked towards the rock wall.

Lin Qing slapped it and said, "In the future, you can only eat two pieces per month."

Lin Qing said this because the honey was also extremely important to the beehive. He hoped the beehive would continue to expand.

If it weren't for the hope that the two-headed bear would have a chance to advance in the future, Lin Qing would have wanted to give it only one piece per year.

Hearing this, the two-headed bear's two faces immediately drooped, but at this point, there was nothing it could do. However, when it reminisced about the taste just now, it couldn't help but smile again.

Lin Qing looked at its silly appearance and couldn't help but pat its head.

But unlike touching the soft and smooth Purple Gold Toad, touching this two-headed bear was torture. The hard hairs on its head were like needles, not smooth at all.

Lin Qing didn't touch it again and put the two-headed bear into the spirit beast bag before returning to the Lin family's mountain.

For over a year, everything was peaceful. Apart from feeding the two-headed bear honey once a month and checking on the beehive, Lin Qing rarely left the house and focused on cultivation every day.

This Shanshui Divine Art was extremely suitable for him, and there were no bottlenecks below the Nascent Soul stage. However, the daily cultivation time was slightly longer compared to other cultivation methods. This was an unavoidable matter. The path of cultivation was not easy.

Lin Qing was already 210 years old this year and had been on the path of cultivation for nearly 200 years. The Lin family had been here for almost 100 years.

When he looked back on the past, Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh at how time flies.

But when he thought about breaking through in the future and having even more lifespan, Lin Qing was filled with fighting spirit again. It is often said that a turtle lives for a thousand years, and a tortoise lives for ten thousand years. Although the name "turtle" doesn't sound good, if one could have such a long lifespan, being called a turtle's tortoise would be a title that everyone would fight for.

He was no exception.

And before Lin Qing could smoothly pass this year, the beast tide that had been building up for five years finally arrived.

First, it was imposing and unstoppable.

Upon receiving the warning from the Queen Bee, Lin Qing immediately activated the Sword Water Divine Formation of their Lin Family Mountain. Once the formation was activated, the entire Lin Family Mountain was enveloped within it. The descendants of the Lin Family and the scattered cultivators were stationed in various locations, eagerly and anxiously welcoming this beast tide.

As for the Queen Bee, it still refused to leave the rock wall. However, under Lin Qing's arrangement, a large portion of the honey was taken out, so as not to easily provoke demonic beasts like the Two-Headed Bear that loved honey.

As the person in charge of the formation, Lin Qing was currently sitting at the peak of the Lin Family Mountain, gazing at the imposing beast tide.

Speaking of which, this beast tide that had migrated from Yan Country and Wei Country consisted of three groups. The leading group was composed of late-stage Purple Mansion demonic beasts, with no less than three Purple Mansion demonic beasts in each group. The largest group alone had six Purple Mansion demonic beasts. There were hundreds of Foundation Building demonic beasts, and countless Qi Refining demonic beasts. After arriving in Zhao Country, they even absorbed two Purple Mansion demonic beasts from the local area, as well as many other demonic beasts. They presented a crushing force to the cultivation world of Zhao Country.

However, Zhao Country had long been prepared and adopted a defensive strategy, not easily engaging in battle.

What surprised Lin Qing at this moment was that these demonic beasts were quite intelligent. Instead of attacking separately, they all headed towards his Lin Family Mountain together.

It seemed that their plan was to destroy his Lin Family Mountain first, and then divide and conquer the other forces in Zhao Country.

At this moment, the numerous demonic beasts were so numerous that one couldn't see the end at a glance. There were so many of them that even if the cultivators of the Lin Family Mountain sent one person to fight a hundred, it wouldn't be enough.

As these numerous demonic beasts approached, both the scattered cultivators and the descendants of the Lin Family within the formation were filled with fear. There were simply too many, to the point of being unimaginable.

Seeing Foundation Building demonic beasts, which were rarely seen on ordinary days, rushing towards them like dense straw, many people's faces turned pale.

If the Lin Family Mountain were to be breached, these cultivators would probably not be able to escape calamity.

Many scattered cultivators who had originally planned to seize opportunities in the beast tide were now filled with regret.

They had underestimated the beast tide. The reason why Yan Country and Wei Country were able to withstand it for so many years and kill many demonic beasts was because of their strong strength, not because the demonic beasts were weak. Zhao Country did not have such strong power, and faced with these demonic beasts, it was simply unable to resist.

Many scattered cultivators looked at Lin Qing, who was sitting at the highest point of the Lin Family Mountain, praying in their hearts, hoping that the Lin Family would lend a hand and not let the formation be broken so easily, at least until reinforcements arrived.

At this moment, Lin Qing was completely focused. The first battle of this beast tide was chosen to be fought at their Lin Family Mountain. He would let these demonic beasts know what regret feels like.

As for the agreement made earlier that if one side encountered danger, the other factions would provide support, Lin Qing thought that it would be good if they did, but it wouldn't be a problem if they didn't. He didn't place all his hopes on that.

The demonic beasts were getting closer, but the leading ones were all Qi Refining and Foundation Building demonic beasts. The Purple Mansion demonic beasts were hiding behind them, not charging into battle, but wanting to see what means the Lin Family Mountain had. These Qi Refining and Foundation Building demonic beasts, whether Lin Qing had seen them before or not, were now rushing towards the Lin Family Mountain from all directions, surrounding it.

The nearest demonic beasts were less than a thousand feet away.

Lin Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop, made a hand seal, commanding the Sword Water Divine Formation.

"Spirit Qi Attraction!"

As Lin Qing's hand gestures changed and his voice sounded, the Sword Water Divine Formation, which was already in a defensive state, began to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy from the spiritual veins of the Lin Family Mountain. This Sword Water Divine Formation not only had defensive capabilities, but also offensive capabilities. However, the amount of spiritual energy consumed was not on the same level. Under Lin Qing's command at this moment, the Sword Water Divine Formation absorbed so much spiritual energy that it formed a column of spiritual energy in the sky above the Lin Family Mountain. It looked quite spectacular from a distance, giving many cultivators a considerable amount of confidence.

After more than ten breaths, the Sword Water Divine Formation absorbed enough spiritual energy from the third-grade superior spiritual veins. The transparent formation that originally enveloped the Lin Family Mountain was now emitting a faint green light.
