I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 257: Change of Ownership in the Immortal City

Upon hearing these words, Lin Qing didn't say much. He stood up from his chair and asked, "Now that Lord Hua is away, and we, along with our family, are managing the Immortal City, would you be willing to stay?"

After Lin Qing finished speaking, Feng Yuancai didn't show any surprise. He just glanced at Lin Qing and hesitantly said, "Can I leave?"

"Of course," nodded Lin Qing, then continued, "Is there anything you need? Gold or silver, perhaps?"

In Lin Qing's mind, Feng Yuancai must be asking for a thousand taels of gold, and he wouldn't even bat an eye.

But Feng Yuancai shook his head and said, "I don't need that. Lord Hua has been good to me all these years. I plan to take my descendants and leave, returning to Yangshui City."

Lin Qing smiled and said, "Alright, I'll be in the Immortal City for the next few days. If you need anything, you can come find me."

Feng Yuancai nodded, and Lin Qing left the residence of Master Hua.

Standing outside the residence, Lin Qing looked at the vast Immortal City and thought about Master Hua's departure. He was lost in his thoughts for a while before finally focusing on the present.

Afterwards, Lin Qing gathered the cultivators under Master Hua's command and showed them what Master Hua had left behind. Faced with Lin Qing, who was in the later stage of the Purple Mansion realm, none of these independent cultivators opposed. Moreover, they knew that Lin Qing had always had a good relationship with Master Hua, so there was no doubt about it. One cultivator even mentioned that he had personally witnessed Master Hua leaving the Immortal City a few days ago, further confirming the matter.

Afterwards, just like with Feng Yuancai, Lin Qing asked these cultivators if they were willing to stay or do something else.

Unlike Feng Yuancai, these cultivators who were previously under Master Hua's command were all willing to stay. After all, the spiritual veins and resources of the Immortal City were things that cultivators couldn't do without. And several cultivation families in the city were willing to become affiliated with the Lin family, which Lin Qing agreed to.

It was worth mentioning that the Lin family's current strength was formidable, and many cultivators were happy about this change of ownership.

After gathering everyone, this news quickly spread throughout the Immortal City and was soon known by the Zhao Kingdom. For a while, many independent cultivators felt the rapid change in the situation.

Upon hearing this news, the Lin family was also shocked.

No one had expected that the Immortal City would be handed over to the Lin family like this.

Whether they were from the Xu generation, the Zhi generation, the Yuan generation, or the Ning generation, they found it hard to believe. After all, in their hearts, the Immortal City was an equally powerful force as their Lin family. This was really sudden.

No matter how sudden it was, it was already a fact.

Regarding the Immortal City, Lin Qing didn't have any plans to make drastic changes after taking over. Everything in the Immortal City would remain the same as before. He didn't want to change anything right from the start. He only planned to send Lin Zhi Dan here in the future to establish a presence and intimidate others. After all, such a large Immortal City still needed the Purple Mansion realm. It would also be a place for future generations of the Lin family to come to.

Upon hearing Lin Qing's arrangement, Lin Zhi Dan agreed, but he was a little puzzled. "Ancestor, I'm afraid the Immortal Mist Sect won't be happy about our Lin family obtaining the Immortal City."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing smiled and said, "They will definitely be unhappy. I estimate that they will come looking for me."

"In that case, Ancestor..." Lin Zhi Dan didn't finish his sentence before Lin Qing interrupted him.

"Don't worry, our Lin family is now powerful, and the Immortal City was a gift from Master Hua. What can the Immortal Mist Sect do?"

After Lin Qing finished speaking, Lin Zhi Dan nodded.

Lin Qing looked at Lin Zhi Dan and advised him, "Zhi Dan, after you settle down in the Immortal City, you should focus on cultivation. Your father, Lin Xuqing, has limited talent and will probably have difficulty advancing in the future. You have to work hard. Even if you only reach the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, it will be advantageous for our Lin family. If you can reach the later stage of the Purple Mansion realm in the future, it will be even better. Not to mention the hope of forming a Gold Core. Don't slack off in the future."

"To Dan's knowledge." Lin Zhidan nodded, understanding Lin Qing's meaning.

Lin Qing didn't say anything more.

As expected, in the past few days, as Lin Zhidan had said, the Xianxia Sect came knocking on their door, led by Elder Hu and Master Qin.

Lin Qing had already prepared his words, but upon meeting, he was stunned.

Master Qin looked as usual, but Elder Hu, whom Lin Qing had seen just a few years ago, seemed to have aged overnight.

As far as Lin Qing knew, Elder Hu was only in his 300s this year and hadn't reached the limit of the Purple Mansion yet.

Thinking of the unusual snake venom he had noticed last time, Lin Qing glanced at Master Qin but didn't say anything.

"Cough cough~"

As soon as they met, without saying a word, Elder Hu started coughing. This cough was like a torn cloth bag being blown open, making it unbearable to listen to.

Master Qin said on the side, "Elder, you're getting old. Time is unforgiving."

"Cough cough. Yes, as the beast tide recedes, I've been deteriorating these past few years," Elder Hu said at this moment.

Lin Qing didn't say much. When Elder Hu calmed down for a moment, he asked, "I wonder what brings the two of you here today?"

Elder Hu looked at Lin Qing and said, "Master Lin, impressive tactics. It's truly unexpected for your Lin family to have obtained the Chiyang Immortal City."

Lin Qing didn't explain. He had long known that others would have doubts about how Hua Xiu had given the Chiyang Immortal City to his Lin family. Trying to explain would be futile.

"Cough, Master Lin, your Lin family probably can't handle the Chiyang Immortal City," Elder Hu said.

Upon hearing Elder Hu's words, Lin Qing smiled and said, "With three Purple Mansion experts in my Lin family, how can we not handle the Chiyang Immortal City? Elder, you need not worry."

"I'm not worried. It's just, cough cough," Elder Hu coughed again, making it impossible for him to speak. It made everyone present feel awkward.

Lin Qing couldn't use his previous words to respond. With Elder Hu in this state, how could he say anything?

"Master Lin, our Xianxia Sect is also, cough cough." Just as Elder Hu managed to say a few words, he started coughing again. Lin Qing and Master Qin couldn't help but be concerned about Elder Hu's health. Lin Qing even had a junior specially prepare a cup of honey water for him.

Speaking of honey, it was obtained by Lin Qing after he tamed the Queen Bee. Over the years, the Queen Bee's strength had reached the mid-Foundation Building stage, and the beehive had expanded quite a bit. The honey, apart from being given to the still gluttonous Two-Headed Bear, could also support the Lin family to some extent. After being placed in the Lin family's treasure vault, it was highly welcomed by the younger generation of the Lin family, but the demand exceeded the supply.

Seeing the honey water, Elder Hu's eyes lit up. He picked it up and drank it directly, feeling better afterwards.

"Master Lin, this stuff is quite good," Elder Hu said.

Lin Qing smiled, and Master Qin also looked with interest at the empty cup of honey water that had been drunk in one go.

After drinking it, Elder Hu felt somewhat better, but he couldn't bring himself to say the words he wanted to say earlier. He looked at Lin Qing and finally said, "Let's end it here today. In a few days, our Sect Master may want to have a talk with Master Lin."
