I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 292: Lin Yuanwu Grows Up

This looks like a talisman, but its power seems to be weak.

At this moment, Gu Xin said, "Senior, this is indeed a talisman, but in order for me, who is at the Foundation Building stage, to be able to use it, my senior behind me has reduced its power a bit. But please rest assured, it is still a talisman, just with slightly weaker power and a longer activation time. Senior, you can give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanwu glanced at Lin Qing and saw Lin Qing's approving gaze. Lin Yuanwu then proceeded to test this talisman.

Unlike what Lin Qing obtained, this talisman had no restrictions. After infusing spiritual energy into it, a black bead-shaped pattern appeared on the talisman, which seemed to be the prototype of the talisman. With continuous infusion of spiritual energy, it grew to a size of ten feet in the air. Lin Yuanwu then pointed casually, and the bead formed instantly shot forward.

"Boom!"

More than ten large trees in front were destroyed by this attack, showing considerable power. However, Lin Yuanwu was somewhat disappointed.

"This talisman has at most the power of a perfect Purple Mansion stage. It can't be considered a great talisman. Moreover, it seems to have been used more than once," Lin Yuanwu said with disappointment in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xin took out a thin piece of animal skin.

"Senior, there are several techniques for using talismans written on it. One of them can fully unleash the remaining power of the talisman, which may meet the senior's requirements."

"Oh?"

Lin Yuanwu was surprised and took it. Lin Qing also looked curiously, feeling greatly intrigued.

There was indeed a technique inside that could fully unleash the remaining power of the talisman. This could allow Lin Yuanwu to bring out the power of this damaged talisman to the level of the Gold Core stage. But this could also allow him to unleash greater power from his own talismans.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing silently memorized this technique, which could be considered an unexpected gain.

With this technique, when the time came to fight desperately, his talismans would surely astonish everyone.

After reading it, Lin Yuanwu was extremely satisfied. Of course, he couldn't use it now. Once he used it, this talisman in his hand would be completely useless.

He glanced at Lin Qing again, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Since he accepted it, it naturally meant that he agreed.

Lin Qing, who was beside him, smiled and said, "Alright, why don't we go back to Taohe Square first? There are some things that are not convenient to handle here."

"Yes, senior."

Gu Xin's face turned even redder.

Afterwards, Lin Qing and the others returned to Taohe Square. Although they didn't gain much opportunity, they still had unexpected joy.

"Senior, I still don't know your name, and I haven't seen your true appearance yet."

A day later, in a soundproofed room of a restaurant in Taohe Square, Lin Yuanwu and Gu Xin sat facing each other. Both of them didn't know what to say, and Gu Xin was the first to break the silence and ask.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanwu removed his disguise, revealing his true appearance for the first time. Gu Xin's eyes brightened, feeling secretly delighted.

However, Lin Yuanwu didn't want to tell this woman his name. He said, "As for my name, there's no need. After our encounter this time, I don't think we need to meet again. Between you and me, it's just a transaction."

"I..."

Gu Xin was momentarily at a loss, feeling more disappointed, but considering that it was her own request in the first place, she didn't think too much about it.

"Then let's begin."

Gu Xin said, and Lin Yuanwu's throat moved slightly as he nodded.

"Since the senior is unwilling to tell me your real name, I will address you as senior. I know that the senior is not from my Endless Pleasure Sect. Can I take the lead in this dual cultivation?"

"It's up to you."

Lin Yuanwu naturally had no reason to refuse.

In Lin Yuanwu's mind, this dual cultivation was nothing more than a simple transaction. This woman was no different from the other female cultivators of the Endless Pleasure Sect he had encountered before. The only reason they had this opportunity was because he didn't want to cause any more trouble for himself, and also thanks to the intermediary role of the talisman artifact. There was no fate or emotional connection between the two of them, so it was impossible for him to feel any intimacy.

When Gu Xin faced Lin Yuanwu, she had made up her mind. She first removed the veil from her face, surprising Lin Yuanwu with her beauty, even more so than he had expected. She could be considered one of the top female cultivators he had ever seen from the Endless Pleasure Sect.

After removing the veil, what followed was...

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. When Lin Yuanwu counted to seven, Gu Xin stopped and looked at him with a flushed face.

During this time, Lin Yuanwu didn't fare any better. He reluctantly counted the number of clothes to distract himself.

Eight, nine. Before long, Lin Yuanwu counted two more times, realizing that he had forgotten to remove his shoes and socks.

When he removed his shoes and socks, Lin Yuanwu looked at Gu Xin's crystal-clear and delicate toes, and couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his throat. This made Gu Xin, who had been paying attention to Lin Yuanwu, feel embarrassed.

"Elder, you..."

Gu Xin looked at Lin Yuanwu, who then realized that he had been staring.

So he quickly followed Gu Xin's lead and threw his clothes on the ground, just like her.

Unlike the petite and lovely Gu Xin, Lin Yuanwu had a strong and masculine figure.

Seeing Lin Yuanwu's chest, Gu Xin became even more shy, and as for what happened next...

With a desire to improve their cultivation, Gu Xin overcame all obstacles and began dual cultivation with Lin Yuanwu. With the talisman artifact, Lin Yuanwu fulfilled all her requests.

It was unknown how much time had passed when Gu Xin sat cross-legged to cultivate, and Lin Yuanwu did the same.

After another hour, Gu Xin's face lit up with joy. She had successfully broken through the bottleneck of the later stage of Foundation Building, saving at least ten years, if not decades, of cultivation. After stabilizing her cultivation, she looked at Lin Yuanwu, who was beside her, with a flicker in her eyes, thinking about something.

After a quarter of an hour, Lin Yuanwu's aura changed, and he also gained benefits, advancing from the second level of the Purple Mansion to the third level, saving several years of cultivation as well.

This made Lin Yuanwu feel a little embarrassed. He had also gained benefits, but he had received a precious talisman artifact, as if he had taken advantage of something.

"I..."

Lin Yuanwu was about to speak, but Gu Xin interrupted him, saying, "Elder, we're not done yet."

"Oh?"

Lin Yuanwu was surprised. Didn't Gu Xin already reach the later stage of Foundation Building? However, Gu Xin smiled slightly, took off the new clothes she had just put on, and removed them again.

"Senior, Lin Yuanwu has returned."

A day later, Lin Yuanwu returned to the inn where Lin Qing was staying and greeted him with a cupped fist.

Lin Qing took a look and saw that Lin Yuanwu's cultivation had actually advanced by one level. He smiled and said, "It's good that you're back. It seems like you've benefited a lot."

"That's true." Lin Yuanwu nodded.

"What about that female cultivator?" Lin Qing asked again.

Lin Yuanwu sighed and said, "She has already reached the later stage of Foundation Building. I don't think we will meet again in the future."

"Well, that's fine. By the way, there's a small auction at Peach Blossom Square today. Come with me."

After Lin Qing finished speaking, Lin Yuanwu followed him.

However, he still had one thing on his mind. Besides the initial encounter, what about the two subsequent times? Were they really just for the sake of cultivation, or did they have other intentions?

He was unsure.

Thinking about the hairpin that Gu Xin had given him and that he had put in his storage bag, he couldn't come up with an answer. So he gathered his thoughts and followed Lin Qing to the auction at Peach Blossom Square.
