I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 282 "Treasure"

Lin Yuanwu looked back and nodded with a smile, "The ancestor is compassionate and spared their lives. How would they dare to follow us? If they dare to follow, they are asking for trouble."

Lin Qing smiled as well. He also thought the same. After revealing his cultivation level of the Purple Mansion, who would dare to come after him?

But...

After flying for a while, to Lin Qing's surprise, someone actually followed them.

Lin Qing's face turned cold. He glanced at Lin Yuanwu, who smirked and directly captured the Foundation Building cultivator who had been following them.

"Senior, spare me, spare me."

This was a gray-bearded cultivator who, upon discovering that Lin Yuanwu was also in the Purple Mansion stage, immediately knelt and begged for mercy in front of Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu.

Lin Qing didn't immediately let Lin Yuanwu kill him. Instead, he asked with interest, "Why did you follow me? Do you have great confidence in your own strength?"

"Senior, absolutely not, absolutely not. Please listen to me, Senior. I know that Senior has a treasure that can increase lifespan. I don't have any intentions like that. I just... just want to exchange a treasure with Senior using my own treasure. Please grant me this favor." As he spoke, the man kept kowtowing.

"Oh?"

Lin Qing glanced at the man and found that although he had the cultivation level of the later stage of Foundation Building, he was not far from his lifespan limit. It was probably because of this that he followed them even though he knew Lin Qing was in the Purple Mansion stage. After all, if he didn't follow, he wouldn't have many years left to live.

"In that case, if you really have a treasure that catches my eye, it's not impossible." Lin Qing smiled and said. Although he didn't have the Purple Jade Peach in his storage bag now, if there was some extraordinary treasure, he still had one at home that could be exchanged with some effort.

Upon hearing this, the man was overjoyed and immediately took out his storage bag.

Lin Qing smiled and, along with Lin Yuanwu, brought the man down to the ground. Since it was a treasure, it would be inconvenient to deal with it in the sky.

As soon as the flying boat landed, the man took out the things from his storage bag and introduced them to Lin Qing.

"Senior, this item is called Xiangyue Mountain. It is a second-grade high-quality spiritual medicine that can be used for refining..."

"This item is a second-grade high-quality magic weapon with powerful functions and a minimum value..."

"This item was obtained in the early years. It is a kind of exotic insect egg. If it is consumed by a Foundation Building cultivator, it can go unnoticed..."

"This item is..."

"This item is..."

He kept talking about many different items, but Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu exchanged glances. Although these treasures were valuable for Foundation Building and Qi Refining cultivators, they were nothing to the Purple Mansion stage. It was impossible to exchange them for the Purple Jade Peach.

However, this man continued to introduce them non-stop, and he kept muttering in his mouth, saying that as long as Lin Qing gave him a Purple Jade Peach, he would be willing to give Lin Qing everything he had.

Lin Qing shook his head. It was impossible to exchange these things for the Purple Jade Peach.

Quietly leaving, when Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu were already a hundred zhang away in the sky, the man realized that Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu were no longer listening to him.

He looked at the two gradually fading figures in the sky and shouted hoarsely with reluctance, "Senior! Senior! I still have treasures, I still have treasures. Senior, please don't leave. Please listen to me again."

But Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu have been out of sight for a while, and he didn't use the flying boat to catch up.

Because deep down, he also knew that these treasures of his were not enough to exchange for something that could extend his lifespan.

At this moment, as he looked at the various treasures that he had cherished like treasures before, now lying on the ground, his despair was evident. When his lifespan is about to end, what use are these treasures? What can even the most powerful treasures do in the hands of a dead person?

After a while, he suddenly went crazy and threw various treasures far away.

"What kind of magic weapon? It caused me to earn spirit stones for so long, but what use does it have? What kind of useless spiritual medicine? I spent so many spirit stones to buy you. What a waste!"

After throwing away all the treasures he considered valuable, he suddenly sat heavily on the ground, looking in the direction Lin Qing had left. The sky, now silent, silently shed two tears from his eyes, which remained un-dried for a long time.

Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu were both silent for a while because of this cultivator's actions, but after a while, Lin Qing spoke to Lin Yuanwu.

"Even if I gave him the Purple Jade Peach today, he would still face the depletion of his lifespan in twenty years, which would be an even greater despair. Besides, there are many cultivators in the world, not just him, who face the depletion of their lifespan. He is pitiful, but there are even more pitiful people. A cultivator who has lived for over two hundred years should be content. There are children who are born and die immediately in this world, unable to see even a glimpse of the scenery, not even the face of their own mother. There are also many who suffer in order to extend their lifespan by a few more hours, only to be unable to see their family for the last time. The world is full of suffering, nothing more. Even in our Lin family, not everyone can obtain such treasures."

Lin Yuanwu nodded silently, understanding more than before after coming out with Lin Qing.

But the more he understood, the more powerless he felt, and the more futile his sighs became.

Afterward, they found a secluded lake, and Lin Qing took out the nameless treasure to test it.

This lake was not small, with a length and width of over a mile, but because of the poor water quality in the surrounding area, no one came here.

Lin Qing had a thought and a faint light appeared around his arm before he tried putting the nameless treasure into the water. After all, he still couldn't figure out how to use this treasure, so it was better to be cautious.

As soon as the treasure was placed in the water, the entire lake disappeared instantly, leaving only a dirty lake bed.

"Wow!"

Even Lin Qing gasped at the sight. This was too powerful.

Lin Yuanwu beside him was even more astonished. It was not impossible for a cultivator at the Violet Mansion stage to make a lake disappear, but it was not as simple as it seemed to be done so quickly.

Lin Qing picked up the bead and thought for a moment, trying to infuse it with spiritual power. Strangely enough, no matter how much spiritual energy he infused, it would just disappear without any change.

Lin Qing also tried to explore it with his divine sense, but he encountered resistance as soon as he reached the surface of the bead and couldn't go any deeper.

"It's a treasure."

After exploring without success, Lin Qing could only say this. It seemed that he would only discover the true nature of this item after he became a Gold Core cultivator in the future. But there was no doubt that it was a powerful treasure.

This item was definitely not a water gathering bead. Lin Qing had used one before, which was a naturally formed artifact that could gather water, completely different from this item.

Thinking of something, Lin Qing extended his hand and used the Water Condensation Divine Ability. Immediately, the water vapor around him condensed into a water ball slightly larger than a fist in his hand.

Then he slowly brought the water ball closer to the bead. This time, instead of instantly absorbing it like before, the two merged together, and the water ball slowly merged into the bead.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qing nodded. This was also why he exchanged the Purple Jade Peach for this item.

When he saw this treasure, he had a thought because of his water-based cultivation technique, and secondly, because of the Water Condensation Divine Ability. He thought that perhaps there would be a wonderful reaction between the two, and now it seemed that although he still didn't understand how to use the treasure, there was indeed some potential to be explored with the Water Condensation Divine Ability.
