I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 272: Rumors

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. Lin Yuanwu's true cultivation level was only at the early stage of Purple Mansion, so it was impossible for a meal to improve his cultivation level.

The cultivator thought that Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu didn't believe him, so he was about to continue speaking. Lin Qing interrupted him, after all, this cultivator didn't know Lin Yuanwu's true cultivation level, which was why he said such things. Lin Qing didn't mind.

"What is the most expensive thing here?" Lin Qing asked with a great deal of arrogance.

The cultivator took a breath, first surprised, and then with a smile on his face, he said, "Senior, the most expensive thing here is a soup made from the meat of three different Foundation Building demonic beasts. It is extremely beneficial for cultivation, but... I have to explain the price to you, it's eighteen spirit stones."

It seemed that there had been some conflicts over the price before, so the cultivator emphasized the price at the end of his words.

It was a bit expensive, but it didn't matter to Lin Qing, after all, he had just picked up a big leak.

After that, Lin Qing ordered the meatball soup and two other dishes as their meal with Lin Yuanwu.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Lin Qing took a sip of spiritual tea to moisten his throat and turned his head to look. He found that the two tables that were already seated when they entered, one had left, but the other had set up a soundproof barrier and seemed to be talking about something.

Lin Qing wasn't a very curious person, but at this moment, he was a little curious, so he secretly listened.

As for the soundproof barrier, it was useless to him.

Casually listening, it was somewhat unexpected for Lin Qing.

"I didn't expect the Yan family to still be chasing after the Wu family after so many years. It's been almost three hundred years, and they still won't let it go."

"Yeah, I heard about it too. After the Yan family wiped out the Wu family back then, they tried their best to kill them all. After so many years, they are still chasing after the Wu family. In the past few years, they have been investigating the beast tide so intensively. I don't know what the Wu family did to offend the Yan family to this extent."

"The Yang family didn't do that."

"That's right, that's what I think."

Lin Qing didn't expect that just by casually listening, the two Foundation Building cultivators at the next table were talking about the Yan family and the Wu family. It seemed that the Yan family was still chasing after the Wu family.

This made Lin Qing feel a little strange.

Indeed, as the Foundation Building cultivators in the conversation said, it had been almost three hundred years. What was there to worry about and hold grudges for? Even if the Wu family had offended the Yan family back then, there might still be some survivors, but after all these years, they should have let it go. How could they still be chasing after them now? Moreover, how many people from the Wu family could the Yan family still be chasing after?

Thinking about it, Lin Qing couldn't figure it out.

Well, even the Foundation Building cultivators in this Yan country didn't know. Although he was powerful, he didn't know much about this kind of thing.

"Please enjoy your meal, Senior."

The ordered dishes had already been served. Lin Qing shifted his gaze to the food and didn't think about it any further.

Among them, the value of the dumpling soup with eighteen spirit stones made Lin Qing feel deceived at first sight. It was said to be made from the meat of three different demonic beasts, but it turned out to be only three dumplings. To get a dumpling the size of a soup spoon, it would cost six spirit stones. Even Lin Qing couldn't help but stare at the cultivator who personally served it.

"Elder, please taste it first," the cultivator said hastily upon seeing Lin Qing's gaze.

Lin Qing looked at the dumpling soup and took one with a spoon, then tasted it. This taste made Lin Qing nod in approval.

These dumplings were not all made from demonic beast meat. They definitely contained many spiritual herbs. Not only did they have a delicious taste, but they also had a rich spiritual energy when eaten. Lin Qing thought that even for a Foundation Building cultivator, this spiritual energy would be beneficial. It seemed to have some merit.

At this moment, Lin Yuanwu looked at Lin Qing and asked him to taste one too.

After Lin Qing agreed, Lin Yuanwu couldn't wait to eat one as well, and then showed a surprised expression.

"Elder, these dumplings not only contain the meat of a second-rank demonic beast, but they are also made from a combination of nineteen spiritual herbs. Selling them for eighteen spirit stones is definitely not expensive," the cultivator added quickly upon seeing Lin Qing's relaxed expression.

Lin Qing nodded. "Alright, you can go now."

"Please enjoy, Elder."

After the cultivator left, Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu discussed the dumpling soup. It was useless to them, but if a Qi Refining cultivator ate it, it would be equivalent to taking precious elixirs. It might even help them advance on the spot. It was a good thing. However, they knew that the recipe for such a thing would definitely not be sold. Lin Qing just discussed it and didn't take it any further.

After finishing their meal, the people at the nearby table had already left, leaving only Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu in the restaurant.

At this moment, Lin Qing thought of the conversation he had overheard earlier and asked the cultivator in the restaurant. He should know a lot.

"Do you know why the Yan family is still chasing after the Wu family?" Lin Qing asked directly.

"This..." The cultivator hesitated, as this was in the Hongye District. But his hesitation also proved that he did know.

Lin Qing took out thirty spirit stones and placed them on the table. The meal just now cost only twenty-four spirit stones, so the extra six were self-explanatory.

The cultivator's eyes lit up when he saw the spirit stones. Under Lin Qing's encouraging gaze, he reached out and took them, then glanced around and lowered his voice. "Fellow Daoist, I've heard about it, but please don't tell anyone it was me who said it."

"Why would I? Just speak boldly," Lin Qing smiled, and Lin Yuanwu was also interested.

"Fellow Daoist, the Yan family and the Yang family joined forces to annihilate the Wu family. It was indeed big news in our Yan Kingdom back then, but that was many years ago. Not many people know about it now, but I do know some. Since Fellow Daoist has given me spirit stones, I will speak boldly. I heard that the Yan family and the Yang family joined forces because the Wu family had a treasure. However, no one knows what that treasure is, but it must be extremely precious to make these two major families join forces. But after annihilating the Wu family, they didn't find the treasure. So for these many years, the Yan family has been investigating. The Yang family initially investigated as well, but later gave up. Now only the Yan family remains. I also heard that in the past ten years, the Yan family has killed three people from the Wu family. They are truly ruthless." Being a worker in the restaurant, this cultivator knew quite a bit.

Upon hearing his words, Lin Qing was shocked.

"Oh, so you mean the Wu family still has descendants?" Lin Qing asked.

"Of course. Although it has been over three hundred years, the Wu family was one of the top cultivation families in our Yan Kingdom back then, with many branches. How could they be easily wiped out? I heard that after the Yan family and the Yang family joined forces, there were Wu family descendants who sought revenge and killed cultivators from the Yan and Yang families for several decades. It only got better later, but there are definitely Wu family descendants now."

"I see. So this grudge has lasted for so long," Lin Qing said again.
