I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 270: The Stone Forest of Yan Kingdom

Lin Qing had already reached the Purple Mansion stage, but this flying boat was only a low-grade third-tier vessel. In the Zhao Kingdom, there were no medium or high-grade third-tier flying boats available for purchase. Lin Qing didn't want to go through the trouble of buying one elsewhere either. After all, once he became a Gold Core cultivator, he would be able to fly on his own, and after refining his own magic treasure, he could use it for flying as well, making his travel much faster.

Therefore, for Lin Qing, who was just one step away from the Gold Core stage, he naturally didn't want to waste his efforts in this regard. Fortunately, with Lin Qing's powerful spiritual power driving the flying boat, its speed was not slow either. It would take at most ten days to reach Dali.

Flying within the borders of the Zhao Kingdom, Lin Yuanwu was not particularly interested. He had seen the Zhao Kingdom countless times and found it lacking novelty.

At first, Lin Yuanwu was somewhat happy to be on the same flying boat as the Patriarch. But now, he didn't know what to say. He didn't have any doubts about cultivation matters anymore, as reaching the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm was only a matter of time for him. He was confident that he could break through to the complete stage of the Purple Mansion realm before the age of 150. As for asking about the Gold Core stage, the Patriarch had already reached the complete stage of the Purple Mansion realm, so how could he ask about it?

If he wanted to talk about interesting things, he estimated that the Patriarch wouldn't be very interested either, so he didn't know what to say.

But the flying boat was too quiet. After thinking for a while, Lin Yuanwu asked Lin Qing about the Five States of Yunzhou. Although he had some understanding of this aspect before, he definitely didn't know as much as the Patriarch.

Facing Lin Yuanwu's questions, Lin Qing was interested and began to talk about it. He indeed had a lot of knowledge in this area.

He talked about the distribution of power in each country, the local customs and practices of each country, and Lin Yuanwu listened with great interest.

After listening, Lin Yuanwu was still not satisfied. He said to Lin Qing, "Patriarch, the Five States Conference is still three months away. We haven't seen these countries in person yet, so why don't we take this opportunity to visit these countries before attending the conference?"

Lin Qing smiled. In fact, he didn't need Lin Yuanwu to suggest it; he had already planned to do so.

Participating in this Five States Conference had little to do with dealing with the Baibao Tower and the like. His main goal was to find opportunities. As he passed through several countries on the way, he definitely wouldn't just fly by. He would definitely take the time to explore the cities of cultivation and see what he could find. That was also the reason why he set off so early.

Seeing Lin Yuanwu's expectant eyes, Lin Qing nodded and said to the front, "After leaving the Zhao Kingdom, we will first go to the Yan Kingdom. The Patriarch has been there many times before when he was in the Chiyang Immortal City. This time, we should take a good look again. We can also visit the other countries afterwards."

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Lin Yuanwu naturally became even more delighted.

At this moment, Lin Yuanwu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Patriarch, my grandfather told me that many of the books in our Lin family's scripture pavilion were obtained from a Wu family of immortal cultivators, and it seems that the Wu family was in the Yan Kingdom."

Lin Qing smiled and nodded, "That's right, it was the Wu family of the Yan Kingdom. However, they have long been extinct."

As he said this, he also thought of the Yan family in the Yan Kingdom. It was the Yan family and another family, the Yang family, that had attacked the Wu family, leading to their extinction. The Yan family was the mastermind behind it. And according to what Senior Hua said, the Chiyang Daoist in the Chiyang Immortal City was born in the Yan family.

To be honest, over the years, Lin Qing had always been curious about why the Yan family had insisted on attacking the Wu family. After all, according to the information he had obtained, it seemed that the relationship between these two families had been quite good, far surpassing the relationship with the Yang family.

After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure it out. Lin Qing looked ahead and urged the flying boat to speed up.

The next day, Lin Qing arrived above the Yan Kingdom. Although the Yan Kingdom was larger and more resource-rich than the Zhao Kingdom, Lin Qing's cultivation at the complete stage of the Purple Mansion realm was still top-notch in the Yan Kingdom, so he didn't need to worry about anything.

Guiding the flying boat, Lin Qing slowed down and looked at the mountains and rivers of Yan Kingdom.

"Master, it seems that there is no difference between Yan Kingdom and our Zhao Kingdom." After watching for a while, Lin Yuanwu said disappointedly. After entering Yan Kingdom, it seemed no different from Zhao Kingdom.

Lin Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have just entered Yan Kingdom, so it must be similar to our Zhao Kingdom. You will know when we get closer to Wei Kingdom. Our ancestors were surprised back then."

"Oh?" Lin Yuanwu looked at Lin Qing curiously, but Lin Qing didn't say anything more, leaving this question for later.

After a long time, Lin Yuanwu opened his eyes wide and looked around in amazement.

Underneath the flying boat, there was an endless stone forest standing on the ground. These stone forests seemed to be man-made, yet also seemed to have formed naturally. They varied in height and were densely packed, resembling mythical beasts and flying birds, as well as exotic flowers and plants. Lin Qing flew the boat even lower, less than ten zhang above the ground, making these stone forests even more breathtaking.

"Master, this area is probably hundreds of li in size." Lin Yuanwu couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the densely packed stone forests.

Lin Qing shook his head and smiled, saying, "It's more than that. These stone forests cover an area of thousands of li, making it a great wonder of Yan Kingdom."

"Thousands of li?"

Lin Yuanwu took a deep breath, finding it hard to imagine the vastness of these stone forests.

However, a thought crossed his mind. With such a large area, it was probably impossible for them to have formed naturally.

With a surprised tone, Lin Yuanwu asked, "Master, are these stone forests man-made? What purpose do they serve?"

Lin Qing looked at the stone forests standing on the ground and raised the flying boat higher before answering, "Indeed, they are man-made. They were built by a cultivation sect of Yan Kingdom nearly ten thousand years ago. It took them hundreds of years to construct these stone forests. As for the reason, it seems that these stone forests contain an extremely powerful formation, which is why they put in so much effort."

"I see." Lin Yuanwu nodded, but still had a question, "Then, Master, what was the name of that cultivation sect?"

Lin Qing shook his head and smiled, "It has long been extinct. Otherwise, do you think we could still fly over these stone forests? These stone forests are only known as one of the great sights of Yan Kingdom now. No one knows about that sect anymore."

Lin Yuanwu nodded and looked at the spread of stone forests, unable to help but wonder how powerful that formation must have been.

After learning about the origin of these stone forests, Lin Qing was also surprised. As a formation master, he estimated that the formation within these vast stone forests was at least a fourth-grade formation, perhaps even a fifth-grade formation, capable of rivaling a Nascent Soul stage existence.

Of course, this was just Lin Qing's speculation.

At this moment, the flying boat quickly passed over the stone forests, and ahead was a major cultivation market of Yan Kingdom called Hongye Market. It was built by the two largest cultivation families in Yan Kingdom, the Yan Family and the Yang Family. Lin Qing naturally wanted to go in and take a look.
