I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 297: The Long Flags and Jade Plates

One day later, as everyone flew at full speed, they arrived outside the main building of the Baibao Tower.

Lin Qing had already seen the Baibao Tower once before when he met Lin Yuanwu, but seeing it again, he couldn't help but be shocked by the enormity of the main building.

The Tianyanshi and Xingyue Daoist exchanged a glance as they led them here. Tianyanshi remained calm, while Xingyue Daoist's gaze was somewhat heated.

It was understandable, considering that once the Baibao Tower was breached, who knows how many treasures would be revealed. Even a Gold Core cultivator would find it hard to resist.

Tianyanshi glanced at the Zi Fu cultivators behind him and said, "You all should focus on recovering and restoring your own states. Listen to my commands later."

The Zi Fu cultivators quickly agreed. They had been on the road for a day and needed to restore their spiritual energy.

As for Tianyanshi and Xingyue Daoist, they didn't need to rest. This was nothing to them, and even Lin Qing didn't mind. After all, he was already at the peak of the Zi Fu stage. But Lin Qing still sat down to meditate. He didn't want to attract unnecessary attention.

While meditating, Lin Qing also kept an eye on Tianyanshi, curious about what methods he would employ.

At this moment, Tianyanshi's eyes lit up when he saw the Baibao Tower. He then flipped his hand and took out nine long flags, each nearly thirty feet long. Each flag had a different color, including yellow, green, black, red, and gold, as well as other mixed colors, all comparable to third-grade magical treasures.

Tianyanshi flew around from time to time, planting one flag on the ground and another halfway up the Baibao Tower.

Although the Baibao Tower's Five Elements Restriction was still active, these flags were not ordinary objects. Each one was directly placed outside the restriction, giving them a mysterious aura.

After planting all nine flags in their designated positions, Tianyanshi paused and took out more white jade plates.

These jade plates were less than a foot long and mostly white in color. There were dozens of them, which he held in his hands.

Half an hour passed, and most of the Zi Fu cultivators had finished restoring their energy. Tianyanshi explained his actions, saying, "The flags I just planted and the jade plates in my hands are the key to breaking the formation. Fellow Daoist Xingyue and I will oversee the two main flags, while the seven auxiliary flags will be managed by Zi Fu cultivators in the later stage. The other Fellow Daoists will handle these jade plates. Everyone should infuse as much spiritual energy as possible. According to my estimation, as long as there is enough spiritual energy, this formation will not be able to withstand it and will collapse on its own."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing nodded in agreement.

Based on his understanding of formations, every formation had a limit to how much it could bear. Once that limit was reached, regardless of the type of formation, it would be damaged. Restriction formations were even more sophisticated, and this seemingly crude method was also applicable.

However, if it were just this, why would it take five years?

Looking at the nine long flags planted outside the main building of the Baibao Tower by Tianyanshi, Lin Qing's gaze flickered. This must be the most crucial part and the reason why Tianyanshi had spent five years on it.

It wasn't difficult to plant the flags; the difficulty lay in where to plant them.

The main building of the Baibao Tower was over a thousand zhang tall, and the nine flags were distributed throughout it. There must be a specific arrangement, and randomly planting them would likely have no effect.

Lin Qing couldn't understand it at the moment, but he made a mental note.

After explaining the reason, Tianyanshi pointed at seven of the Zi Fu cultivators and selected them. The lowest cultivation level among them was in the later stage of the Zi Fu stage. Lin Qing, being at the peak of the Zi Fu stage, was naturally among them.

Lin Qing wasn't surprised by this.

Facing the seven of them, Tianyanshi's first sentence caught them off guard: "What kind of cultivation techniques do you all practice?"

Lin Qing and the other seven Purple Mansion cultivators exchanged glances, but no one answered. Tian Yanzhi smiled and explained, "I just want to assign the corresponding flags to you. Although random allocation is possible, it would be better to allocate them according to each person's cultivation method."

Upon hearing this, a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator spoke up, "Senior, I cultivate fire-based techniques."

One person spoke up, and then the other seven Purple Mansion cultivators took turns explaining their cultivation methods. Lin Qing only mentioned that he cultivated water-based techniques and didn't say much more.

After they finished speaking, Tian Yanzhi nodded and assigned different flags to Lin Qing and the other seven people.

Lin Qing's flag was black and was inserted about a hundred zhang high.

"Alright, each of you go to your respective flags. Later, the spiritual power of the other Purple Mansion cultivators will be infused into the prohibition through the large flags in your hands. Remember, no matter what happens, you must remain stable and also infuse your own spiritual power into it. Absolutely do not slack off. If you do, it will have adverse effects on you." Tian Yanzhi's expression turned serious as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing and the others felt bitter in their hearts. It seemed that this was not a good task.

Being able to cultivate to the late stage of the Purple Mansion naturally meant having a greater desire for the Gold Core. Hearing Tian Yanzhi's words, it seemed that not being careful would cause harm to oneself. This was not something they wanted to do. However, since Tian Yanzhi had already pointed them out, Lin Qing and the others felt too embarrassed to go back. They could only nod and fly towards their respective flags.

After Lin Qing and the others left, Tian Yanzhi distributed the white jade discs in his hands to the other Purple Mansion cultivators, making the situation much simpler.

"Fellow Daoists, remember not to slack off when infusing spiritual power. Otherwise, the prohibition cannot be broken."

"Yes, Senior."

"Please rest assured, Senior."

"..."

The voices of the Purple Mansion cultivators satisfied Tian Yanzhi.

At this time, Lin Qing and the others had settled in their positions. Tian Yanzhi glanced at Xingyue Daoist, and both of their expressions became solemn. Then, they each flew towards a large flag, with Tian Yanzhi at the bottom and Xingyue Daoist at the top.

In a short while, the nine large flags on the thousand-zhang high mountain had corresponding cultivators.

If viewed from a distance, the positions of the nine people resembled the distribution of the Big Dipper, but with two additional long flags above and below.

As for the other Purple Mansion cultivators, they were all sitting below the mountain, scattered around, each holding a white jade disc, waiting for Tian Yanzhi's command.

"Boom!"

Now that everything was ready, Tian Yanzhi's spiritual power surged out. After colliding with the flags and the prohibition, it unexpectedly produced a substantial sound, startling everyone.

There was no need for further words. One by one, the Purple Mansion cultivators began infusing their spiritual power.

Lin Qing held the black flag firmly and slowly infused his spiritual energy. He wouldn't recklessly pour all of his spiritual power into the flag. No matter when, he had to leave some cards for himself.

At first, it was fine, but after a while, Lin Qing felt that the black flag he held became sticky, and it also had a gradually increasing attraction. However, under Lin Qing's complete cultivation in the Purple Mansion stage, he could resist it without any problem.

He glanced down and knew that the spiritual power of those in the Purple Mansion stage had already been infused into the flag through the jade disc.

With this in mind, Lin Qing focused his mind and stopped thinking too much.
