I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 260: Reason

At that time, because he was anxious to restore the Qingfeng Sect, he went out to investigate the situation and unexpectedly fell into an ambush by a demonic beast. It was only thanks to Lin Qing's intervention that he was saved. However, due to this unexpected incident, he was poisoned by the Purple Mansion Snake Demon.

After returning to the Xianxia Sect, he used various treasures to detoxify himself, but the poison from the snake demon, being of the Purple Mansion level, was truly terrifying. Even though he had expelled the poison, it still harmed his foundation.

But it was also because of this that he discovered something.

While taking a second-grade top-quality spirit herb called Sky Blue Grass, which could detoxify and heal injuries, he discovered that the Sky Blue Grass had some kind of reaction with the snake poison, resulting in something new.

He was extremely curious about this and later discovered that this thing had a trace of toxicity, but because of the masking effect of the Sky Blue Grass, it was extremely difficult to detect.

For a while, his mind became active.

He had originally told Lin Qing that he was ambushed because the Hundred Treasures Tower was retaliating against him for spreading unfavorable words about the tower, but that was not the case at all. He later found out that it was the Grand Patriarch who did it. At that time, the Qingfeng Sect had not yet merged with the Xianxia Sect, but after the Grand Patriarch benefited from the Qingfeng Sect seeking refuge in the Xianxia Sect, he didn't want the Qingfeng Sect to recover afterwards. He planned to use demonic beasts to kill them, so that in the future, without the Qin Sect Master, the Qingfeng Sect members would be easily controlled.

However, because of Lin Qing's help, he himself did not die, and he also discovered this fact, which became a disaster for the Grand Patriarch and the Xianxia Sect.

After obtaining this thing that carried the snake poison and was not easily detected, he made the biggest decision of his life after thinking it through.

That was to let the entire Qingfeng Sect join the Xianxia Sect.

Lin Qing's initial guess was almost spot on. He wanted to kill the Grand Patriarch and Elder Hu, and then naturally become the Sect Master with his Purple Mansion cultivation, and then restore his Qingfeng Sect.

But it wasn't so smooth after joining.

This thing that carried the snake poison was successfully used against Elder Hu, and Elder Hu gradually began to be affected. However, the Grand Patriarch was not so easily affected. Even though he tried various methods, he only managed to give the Grand Patriarch a few more years to live, which did not affect the overall situation.

But...

Thinking of this, Sect Master Qin glanced at Lin Qing and smiled lightly in his heart.

No one could have expected that City Lord Hua would actually give the Red Sun Immortal City to the Lin family. The Grand Patriarch was shocked when he found out, and then, in a situation where it was difficult to discuss with Elder Hu, the Grand Patriarch had to take action himself.

At that time, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the initial stage of the Purple Mansion, just one step away from breaking through to the middle stage.

In order to increase his bargaining chip, before discussing with Lin Qing, the Grand Patriarch closed up to try to break through to the middle stage of the Purple Mansion.

But the result went wrong in an instant, and he actually died. Because he was in seclusion, no one knew what happened inside, but afterwards, he himself thought that it was because of the Lin family matter that made the Grand Patriarch anxious, combined with the influence of the snake poison, both factors directly sent the Grand Patriarch to the Yellow Springs. This matter was quite surprising to him, and he couldn't have predicted it. That was also the reason why the Xianxia Sect members suspected him afterwards.

After that, he vigorously developed himself, his granddaughter successfully reached the Purple Mansion stage in time, Elder Hu died, and he directly took control of power, changing the name back to the Qingfeng Sect and restoring the sect.

Now, looking back, Sect Master Qin felt somewhat relieved.

The Qingfeng Sect did not lose its heritage in his hands, although the means were somewhat unsavory, but in the end, it was a success.

Even in his opinion, it seemed that fate was on his side. Otherwise, how could the Grand Patriarch die, and his granddaughter successfully reach the Purple Mansion stage? After all, the chances were not great.

"Sect Master Qin, please!"

Suddenly, Lin Qing's voice came, and Lord Qin reacted with a smile from his thoughts, picking up the tea and tasting it with Lin Qing.

As they drank this spiritual tea, they felt a floating sensation throughout their bodies, as if they had truly entered a fairyland.

"Master Lin, this spiritual tea is indeed excellent. Can you give me some seeds so that I can plant them in Qingfeng Sect in the future?" After drinking, Lord Qin smiled and said.

"Of course, no problem."

Lin Qing also smiled.

Lord Qin nodded, and at this moment, he looked at the tea that had been refilled and became lost in thought. After a while, he said, "I never thought that Qingfeng Sect and the Lin family would be the last ones standing."

Hearing this, Lin Qing nodded, but in his heart, he thought that it was still far from the end.

Lord Qin suddenly looked at Lin Qing and said, "Even if I break through in the future, I will at most reach the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion. But Master Lin, you probably have hopes of reaching the Gold Core stage in the future. The future of our Zhao Kingdom probably lies with the Lin family."

Before Lin Qing could answer, Lord Qin changed the topic and said, "I envy Lord Huacheng now. Leaving everything behind and traveling around the world, I think that might also be a great destination. Hey, Master Lin, where do you think Lord Huacheng has gone now?"

"Well, in my opinion..."

Lin Qing smiled and started talking about Lord Huacheng with Lord Qin. They talked a lot and drank several pots of tea.

But in the end, no one dared to say where Lord Huacheng had gone. They only made many speculations.

Lord Qin said that with Lord Huacheng's cultivation level, he might have gone to Zhongzhou or Xianyunzhou, or even other states. Lin Qing said that perhaps he hadn't even left Shangyunzhou yet. They each had their own reasons.

Afterwards, they made plans to meet again.

Ten years passed since the beast tide. Lin Qing was 240 years old and had reached the eighth level of the Purple Mansion stage in his cultivation. He was not far from the ninth level, and after that, he could attempt to break through to the Gold Core stage. With the proficiency in the Good Water Divine Art, Lin Qing had no fear or uncertainty about this. His future path was extremely clear.

Breaking through to the Gold Core stage was only a matter of time for him. As for the breakthrough after the Gold Core stage, he didn't want to think about it too much for now.

On this day, he nervously looked at a certain place.

Lin Yuanwu, after failing to break through to the Purple Mansion stage last time, spent ten years adjusting and attempted to break through again at the age of 65.

This time, there was no spiritual liquid, but Lin Yuanwu didn't want to wait any longer, so he directly attempted the breakthrough.

Compared to last time, the chance of success naturally decreased by ten to twenty percent without the spiritual liquid. But after ten years, Lin Yuanwu's spiritual power became more refined, and he also gained experience from last time. Overall, the chances were still about the same.

Not only Lin Qing, but also Lin Xuqing, Lin Zhidan, and other members of the Lin family were paying close attention to his breakthrough.

Especially the younger generation, Lin Yuanwu's deeds during the beast tide had influenced many young members of the Lin family. They all wanted to become someone like Lin Yuanwu. Nowadays, when teaching the younger generation in the Lin family, many people would say that they should learn from Brother Yuanwu, after all, achieving Foundation Building in their twenties was still an astonishing feat.

In the midst of his breakthrough, Lin Yuanwu felt more pressure compared to last time.

Last time, he achieved Foundation Building perfection at the age of 55, and with his dual spiritual roots and the spiritual liquid, he felt that he could break through to the Purple Mansion stage smoothly, just like his cultivation had been going smoothly before. So the pressure was not great. But the result was a failure, and for the past ten years, he occasionally thought about this matter and felt that it shouldn't have happened. Now, after ten years of adjustment, he attempted the breakthrough again, and naturally, he carried some burden in his heart.
