I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 266: Bai Bao Dao Ren's Fake Pill

Lin Xusi was willing to stay at the mining site, but with the Lin family occupying more than half of Zhao country, the mining site didn't pose much of a threat. Lin Qing thought about handing over the matters of the Lin family's mining veins to Lin Xusi, and in the future, he would be responsible for the family's mining veins. Lin Xusi was excited and even said that he would develop several new mining sites. Lin Qing nodded in agreement, but he didn't really mind.

However, what Lin Qing didn't expect was that Lin Xusi actually found several new mining sites, bringing in a considerable amount of income for the Lin family.

After Lin Xusi's breakthrough, he didn't fade away easily in the Lin family. In the hearts of the Lin family members, Lin Xusi's breakthroughs, which were not very prominent in the past, ignited even more enthusiasm, especially for those who were on the verge of a breakthrough themselves.

However, there were still ten years until the next batch of spiritual liquid. For those who were eagerly waiting for the spiritual liquid, they had to wait for some time.

After breaking through the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, Lin Qing also began to stabilize his cultivation. He planned to spend ten years to consolidate his own state before slowly aiming for the Gold Core.

To be honest, although he had the Shanshui Divine Art, when faced with the Gold Core, Lin Qing was still somewhat apprehensive and wanted to make more preparations.

After all, this was the Gold Core!

In these years, based on the foundation of the Shanshui True Water's description of the Gold Core, Lin Qing had gained a deeper understanding of the Gold Core through various means.

Firstly, there was lifespan. Qi Refining cultivators had a lifespan of 120 years, Foundation Building cultivators had 220 years, and Purple Mansion cultivators had 350 years. Each realm advancement generally added more than 100 years to their lifespan. However, becoming a Gold Core cultivator would increase their lifespan by more than these realms combined, reaching 540 years, nearly 200 years more.

Moreover, it didn't stop there. For Gold Core cultivators, once they reached this realm, they would have many opportunities to obtain lifespan-increasing treasures that were previously hard to come by. They would often consume various kinds of lifespan-increasing treasures, sometimes even consuming many different kinds. Therefore, 540 years was just the basic lifespan. Generally speaking, reaching 560 or 600 years was not impossible.

There were even cultivators who deliberately practiced longevity techniques and had records of living up to 630 years as a Gold Core cultivator. So, once they reached the Gold Core realm, they could be said to have no worries about lifespan.

Apart from lifespan, there was naturally strength.

Upon reaching the Gold Core realm, a cultivator's strength would increase rapidly. In the Purple Mansion realm, Foundation Building cultivators might still pose a threat, but once they reached the Gold Core realm, the saying "all beneath the Gold Core are ants" held true. The two realms couldn't be compensated for by other magical treasures or the like.

Of course, this statement wasn't absolute. The Gold Core realm was also divided into three types.

They were Fake Pill, True Pill, and Gold Core. Gold Core, needless to say, was the best. Breaking through in the future would be effortless, and they could indeed say that all beneath the Gold Core were ants. Even if they were at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, they still had a gap of nearly a hundred times compared to the Gold Core realm, far from being comparable.

The next best was the True Pill, which was also quite good. If they had the opportunity in the future, there was a possibility of reaching the Nascent Soul realm. It would be difficult for the Purple Mansion realm to match it. However, the Fake Pill was not good. Although they could enjoy the lifespan of a Gold Core cultivator, their strength was only about half of a True Pill cultivator. As for comparing with the Gold Core realm, there was no need to compare. There was at least a tenfold difference, and it wasn't so secure when facing the Purple Mansion realm.

Although the gap was so large, becoming a Fake Pill cultivator was not an easy task. It was something that many Purple Mansion realm cultivators yearned for. After all, being able to have the lifespan of a Gold Core cultivator was already remarkable.

Moreover, for the Purple Mansion realm, a Fake Pill cultivator could easily defeat seven or eight peak Purple Mansion realm cultivators without any problem.

It could be said that the Gold Core realm, regardless of whether it was a True Pill or a Fake Pill, was highly sought after and tempting for many cultivators.

Lin Qing was no exception.

To be honest, for the previous Lin Qing, even if his talent reached the level of Tian Shui Ling Gen, it would not be easy for him to condense a Gold Core. There is a high probability that it would be a fake pill, or even a failure. However, with the Shanshui Divine Art, a highly compatible cultivation technique, the probability of condensing a Gold Core is not small.

However, the remnant soul of Shanshui Zhenren had told him before that there would be no bottleneck before his Nascent Soul stage, and he should strive to condense a Gold Core. But after practicing for so long, Lin Qing discovered that in order to condense a Gold Core, besides continuous cultivation, he also needed certain opportunities. It was not as simple as it seemed.

Now, Lin Qing can only continue to stabilize his cultivation and ensure that he performs at his best in all aspects.

During this period, Master Qin would occasionally visit Lin Qing. Every time, he would be excitedly talking about the affairs of the Bai Bao Tower. In recent years, the Bai Bao Tower has been frequently attacked in other countries, which is the most pleasing thing for Master Qin.

In the fifth year after Lin Xusi's Purple Mansion, Master Qin came to find Lin Qing again, but he didn't seem as excited as before.

In a gloomy tone, he said something that shocked Lin Qing: "Master Lin, that Bai Bao Dao Ren of the Bai Bao Tower has condensed a fake pill."

"Is it true?"

Lin Qing found it hard to believe.

Master Qin's face turned grim, and he nodded, sighing, "It is true."

After saying that, both of them fell silent, lost in their own thoughts.

After a long while, Lin Qing finally said, "I never expected that he could actually condense a fake pill. Although his future strength may not improve much, he has reached new heights."

"Yes, although a fake pill cannot compare to a real pill or a Gold Core, only about one in ten Nascent Soul cultivators can successfully condense a fake pill. It's truly a stroke of great fortune for Bai Bao Dao Ren. Originally, he was already over three hundred years old this year and didn't have many years left. But with this fake pill, he can extend his lifespan by at least two hundred years. Ah, it's really enviable," Master Qin said, filled with envy. Although he had no grudges with the Bai Bao Tower, the idea of reaching the realm of a fake pill was something he yearned for.

If only he could become a fake pill himself...

As Master Qin spoke, he seemed to be lost in his own thoughts, completely unaware of his surroundings.

Seeing Master Qin's absent-mindedness, Lin Qing didn't rush to speak. Instead, he pondered the impact of Bai Bao Dao Ren's fake pill.

It goes without saying that the influence of the Bai Bao Tower will only grow in the future, and it may even spread throughout the entire Yunzhou. As for the robberies that occasionally occurred in Yan and Wei countries in recent years, after Bai Bao Dao Ren's fake pill, it was unlikely to happen again in the future. However...

Thinking of his own Lin family, Lin Qing felt a headache coming on. The Bai Bao Tower's condensation of a fake pill was not good news for his Lin family.

Glancing at Master Qin, it was not only the Lin family but also the Qingfeng Sect that would not benefit from the Bai Bao Tower's condensation of a fake pill.

At this moment, Master Qin finally snapped out of his reverie. Although he had only imagined himself becoming a fake pill, it was enough to bring a smile to his face. The imagined scene was too beautiful, and he was still immersed in it for a while.

But then he realized that the one who had truly become a fake pill was Bai Bao Dao Ren, not himself. Master Qin's face fell.

"The Bai Bao Tower is really lucky to have a fake pill Tower Lord. I wonder what will happen in the future," Master Qin thought of the rapid development of the Bai Bao Tower in the future and couldn't help but feel envious.
