I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 250: Burial

"Raise the coffin!!!"

Lin Xuqing hoarsely shouted, and the younger generation of the Lin family lifted the heavy coffin filled with clothes.

"Carry the coffin, let's go!!!"

Amidst the many footsteps, the coffin departed from the main branch of the Lin family towards the Lin family lake.

The road was silent, with no sound except for the footsteps.

"Gently place it down!!!"

The coffin was gently placed in front of the freshly dug grave.

"Raise it again!!!"

The coffin was lifted once more.

"Place it!!!"

The coffin was placed into the grave.

Then, Lin Qing first filled the grave with a pile of soil, and then the rest of the Lin family members filled the entire grave with soil.

On the erected tombstone, there was a line of golden characters: "The Tomb of the Virtuous and Good Lin Xuchang of the Lin Family!"

The younger generation of the Lin family began to mourn, while Lin Qing looked at the tombstone and thought about Lin Xuchang's past, his eyes becoming moist.

On the day he received the warning in Chiyang Immortal City, he hurriedly returned to the Lin family mountain.

But when he arrived, he only saw Lin Xuqing. Lin Xuchang had long dissipated into the heavens and earth, and then Lin Xuqing recounted the scene of Lin Xuchang and the pangolin being burned by the raging fire, which was also the last scene Lin Xuqing saw of Lin Xuchang.

After hearing this, Lin Qing quickly discovered the hole pierced by the pangolin, and he immediately understood the cause of the matter.

While feeling the grief for his son, Lin Qing decided to give a grand burial to this son who saved the Lin family mountain.

At this moment, it was the ceremony to bury Lin Xuchang.

But as he looked at the grave where Lin Xuchang had already been laid to rest, Lin Qing felt extremely reluctant. Looking back on the past, this son had brought him many surprises. Initially, he made breakthroughs in multiple realms in succession, strengthening the power of the Lin family. But later, due to various physical problems, it made him feel uncomfortable. Now that he understood what this son had done, Lin Qing only had infinite respect in his heart. Various emotions kept swirling in Lin Qing's heart, making it difficult for him to calm down.

The younger generation of the Lin family gradually left, and Lin Xuchang's tablet had already been placed in the ancestral hall.

Looking at Lin Xuchang's tombstone, Lin Qing wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his heart and couldn't be spoken.

After a moment, he closed his eyes and shed two teardrops.

"Xuchang, have a safe journey," Lin Qing silently thought in his heart.

The day after burying Lin Xuchang, Master Hua arrived at the Lin family mountain.

When Lin Qing hurriedly left that day, Master Hua also knew that something major had happened to the Lin family mountain. However, the demonic beasts were still present, and he was unable to do anything, so he could only pray for the Lin family mountain.

Now that the beast tide in Chiyang Immortal City had receded without causing major harm, Master Hua hurriedly came to the Lin family mountain.

"Hua Fellow Daoist," Lin Qing greeted, but his mood was still not good.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what's going on?" Master Hua asked in confusion. It seems that there is no major problem with the Lin family's mountain.

Looking at Master Hua, Lin Qing recounted what had happened.

After hearing Lin Qing's account, Master Hua's face turned pale with shock. "So, you're saying that your son broke through the Purple Mansion stage and perished along with that monster?"

Lin Qing sighed, "Yes, if it weren't for him, our Lin family's mountain would have been destroyed."

"This..." Master Hua was at a loss for words.

After a long while, Master Hua finally said, "I wonder where he is buried now. Can I pay my respects?"

Lin Qing glanced at Master Hua, who was sincerely asking. Lin Qing nodded.

After the worship, Master Hua sat in the Lin family's reception hall, still immersed in shock. He didn't expect this outcome. If the monster had succeeded, he would have been the culprit. After all, it was the monster's attack on his Red Sun Immortal City that led Lin Qing to go there. Without his Red Sun Immortal City, the Lin family's mountain wouldn't have suffered like this.

The younger generation of the Lin family came forward and poured a cup of spiritual tea for Lin Qing and Master Hua, but neither of them had the heart to drink it.

After a moment of silence, Master Hua suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I have a suggestion. What do you think?"

"Oh?" Lin Qing looked at Master Hua.

Master Hua said, "Since we divided the territory of the Infinite Sect back then, our Red Sun Immortal City also obtained a portion. Over the years, due to the distance and insufficient strength, our Red Sun Immortal City has never really managed it. Now we are facing the monster tide, which makes it even more impossible to take care of it. Even if the monster tide ends, in my opinion, it doesn't mean much to the Red Sun Immortal City. I suggest that we let the Lin family manage this original territory of the Infinite Sect. It's better than leaving it abandoned here. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Lin?"

"Fellow Daoist, please don't make such a decision because of the incident involving my Lin family's younger generation. It's all because the monster is too cunning. When we attacked the Infinite Sect, it was only right for the Red Sun Immortal City to receive a share since Red Sun Daoist perished," Lin Qing said.

"Ah," Master Hua sighed, "I do have some reasons because of your Lin family's sacrifice this time, but the main reason is what I said earlier, the inability to manage. This territory is useless to our Red Sun Immortal City."

Master Hua looked at Lin Qing, recalling the past in his eyes. "Fellow Daoist Lin, do you remember what I said to you before?"

Lin Qing nodded, "I remember."

Master Hua looked at Lin Qing and said, "To be honest, ever since that time we actively hunted the monsters, I have felt a sense of despair that has been filling my heart. Over the years in the Red Sun Immortal City, I have always been thinking about the disciples below, but for myself, I have no thoughts. It seems that everything has become unimportant, and my cultivation has not progressed. If I were like my master, constantly improving my cultivation, I would definitely occupy a larger area in the Zhao Kingdom in the future. But now, with my cultivation stagnating, what use is there for such a large area? It's already impressive enough to hold onto the Red Sun Immortal City."

"Fellow Daoist, I hope you can fulfill my wish."

After listening to Master Hua's words, Lin Qing remained silent for a long time.

After a while, Lin Qing took a sip of tea and slowly said, "I can't bear to hear these words from you, Fellow Daoist."

Master Hua sighed again, "Ah."

Lin Qing agreed with Master Hua's suggestion, and then said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Master Hua smiled, but his gaze looked ahead. What others didn't know was that he already had a bolder idea in his heart, but it was not appropriate to act on it now.

Afterwards, Master Hua left, and in the following days, the Lin family members learned about the benefits they had gained, and they were all delighted.

Looking at the map now, the Lin family occupied one-third of the original Infinite Sect's territory, plus the Xuan Yu Pavilion of the Hundred Treasures Tower and some mineral veins. They had already occupied a large portion of the southeast of the Zhao Kingdom. If they were to drive away the monster tide in the future, their territory would be even larger.

However, Lin Qing was not as happy as he seemed. Master Hua had given up on the path of immortality, which made him feel even more lonely.
