I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 232: Different Means

Lin Qing smiled and returned to his room to recuperate. Once inside, he activated the soundproofing formation, but couldn't help but cough violently. He coughed up about half a liter of blood and felt his spiritual energy becoming restless, making him feel weak.

After coughing, Lin Qing tidied up and managed to calm down his restless spiritual energy.

"I overestimated it a bit," Lin Qing thought.

The power of this formation exceeded his expectations. It was a bit too much for the mid-stage of the Violet Mansion realm. It surpassed the limits of his body. Lin Qing realized that this formation could only be fully utilized in the late stage of the Violet Mansion realm, or even when it reached perfection.

Sitting on the spiritual vein to recover some spiritual energy, Lin Qing suddenly thought of something and took out a piece of honey to eat.

He discovered that the honey didn't help his cultivation, but it contained abundant spiritual energy and other unknown substances that were extremely effective for recovery. It was much better than ordinary elixirs and had no side effects.

After half an hour, Lin Qing recovered a bit.

Since the beast tide was still ongoing, he returned to the mountaintop and saw that the retreating demonic beasts were even further away. It seemed that they had no intention of launching another attack in the short term, which relieved Lin Qing.

What he didn't know was that the Sword Water Divine Formation had scared the Violet Mansion demonic beasts greatly. They had never seen such a formation in Yan Country or Wei Country before, and its power was immense. A single sword strike had caused them to lose over ten thousand demonic beasts, which was a huge loss.

Although the Violet Mansion demonic beasts hadn't suffered any losses, the loss of Foundation Building and Qi Refining demonic beasts still had a significant impact on them.

Under the continued operation of this formation, they didn't dare to send demonic beasts again for the time being.

Feeling relieved after seeing the demonic beasts retreat, Lin Qing sent the younger generation of the Lin family to collect the corpses of the many demonic beasts. Although it was a great expense, the benefits obtained were unprecedented.

Just the corpses of these demonic beasts, although most of them were at the Qi Refining stage, there were also many at the Foundation Building stage. Added together, they were worth several hundred thousand or even a million spirit stones.

The scattered cultivators watching this scene couldn't help but feel envious, but they all remained calm. These demonic beasts had nothing to do with them; they belonged to the Lin family. Moreover, even if they wanted to snatch them, they couldn't help but think of the power of the formation just now. None of them dared to have such thoughts.

Watching the collected demonic beasts, Lin Qing felt comforted.

These demonic beasts were treasures. Whether they were sold or kept for the family, they would bring great benefits. As long as the demonic beasts didn't come again in the short term, the Lin family's strength would further improve with these demonic beasts.

Thinking of something, Lin Qing threw the flesh and blood of several Foundation Building stage demonic beasts to the Purple Golden Toad and the Two-Headed Bear.

The Purple Golden Toad swallowed it in one gulp and was extremely pleased, but the Two-Headed Bear didn't like it and looked at Lin Qing with pleading eyes, indicating that it wanted to eat honey again.

Lin Qing didn't spoil it and made it eat three demonic beasts before stopping.

"That's right. How can you advance without eating the flesh and blood of demonic beasts?" Lin Qing said.

However, Lin Qing didn't know that this Two-Headed Bear, after reaching the late stage of Foundation Building, didn't eat many demonic beasts. It mostly advanced by eating spiritual herbs and spiritual substances like honey.

Although he didn't like it, the flesh and blood of demonic beasts was extremely beneficial to it.

In Lin Qing's mind, he wanted to quickly cultivate this beast into the Violet Mansion realm. After all, the Lin family couldn't produce another Violet Mansion realm expert for the time being, so he could only focus on the spiritual beasts.

After feeding the Purple Golden Toad and the Two-Headed Bear, Lin Qing planned to rest for a while to prevent these demonic beasts from returning.

In Lin Qing's opinion, these demonic beasts wouldn't easily give up.

After half a day, Lin Qing's thoughts were proven correct. At this moment, three Violet Mansion demonic beasts took the lead and wanted to test the strength of the Lin family's mountain.

Although the Sword Water Divine Formation is extremely powerful, it is difficult to recreate the same level of damage against these Purple Mansion Demonic Beasts. Lin Qing has now instructed the formation to focus on defense. While it is not good for taking the initiative to attack, the defense is strong enough to handle not only these three Purple Mansion Demonic Beasts, but even if their numbers were doubled.

Moreover, out of these three Demonic Beasts, only one is in the later stage of the Purple Mansion, while the other two are in the early stage. It is impossible for them to break through.

In Lin Qing's mind, perhaps only if all the Purple Mansion Demonic Beasts were combined, would it be possible to break through this formation. Ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators would not be able to break it.

These three Purple Mansion Demonic Beasts consist of a creature covered in scales resembling an armadillo, a wolf with three heads and fiery red fur, and a huge and imposing tiger-like creature.

Lin Qing looked at these three Purple Mansion Demonic Beasts and began to calculate.

The creature resembling an armadillo seems to be from the Yan and Wei countries, and its strength is in the later stage of the Purple Mansion. As for the wolf and tiger, they are probably the two Purple Mansion Demonic Beasts that Zhao country already had: the Three-Headed Crimson Fire Wolf and the Sky-Devouring Tiger.

The strength of these two Demonic Beasts from Zhao country is in the early stage of the Purple Mansion. It seems that under the current wave of beasts, they have become subordinates of this later stage Purple Mansion.

Facing Lin Family Mountain, they have become the vanguard.

It seems that their strength is insufficient, whether among cultivators or demonic beasts, they are at a disadvantage.

Under the control of the later stage of the Purple Mansion, these two Demonic Beasts began to attempt to attack the Sword Water Divine Formation.

The three-headed Crimson Fire Wolf's fur was completely red, and at this moment, all three heads howled towards the sky, then each mouth spewed out a formidable flame. Even Foundation Building cultivators would have to retreat when faced with these flames, let alone ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators.

However...

The Sword Water Divine Formation has the element of water, so it is not afraid of fire at all. After spewing flames for a while, the wolf reluctantly stopped and the formation remained undamaged.

The Purple Mansion tiger known as the Sky-Devouring Tiger stood in front of the formation, exuding a terrifying aura as it looked at the numerous cultivators within the formation. Instead of spewing fire or water, it let out a roar.

"Roar!!!"

"Roar!!!"

"..."

At first listen, this sound seemed like a display of powerless rage, but upon closer inspection, it was extraordinary. Many low-level cultivators immediately felt their scalp tingling and their bodies uncontrollable.

Lin Qing was unaffected, but Foundation Building cultivators like Lin Xuzhe were somewhat affected.

The key point is that this sound cannot be blocked by covering one's ears. In just a few breaths, several low-level cultivators among the scattered cultivators had already fallen to the ground and died.

Seeing this, Lin Qing was about to launch a counterattack with the formation, but this beast was also clever. It immediately stopped roaring and looked at the Purple Mansion Demonic Beast behind it.

This method of attack called "sonic attack" can kill a large number of low-level cultivators, but it has no effect on formations.

It all depends on the Purple Mansion Demonic Beast behind it.

Only to see this Purple Mansion Demonic Beast, whose name Lin Qing didn't know, resembling an armadillo, walking up to the Sword Water Divine Formation. Its body's aura continued to rise, and then its armor plates stood up one by one, forming a shocking shape.

The scattered cultivators who had suffered losses earlier now kept their distance even within the formation.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

After a while, the armor plates on its body began to detach one by one. The speed was so fast, like lightning, and it made a sonic boom in the air.
