I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 310: Uncle Li?

After a moment, Lin Qing finally emerged from hiding and looked at the three figures that had disappeared. A hint of helplessness flashed across Lin Qing's face.

He didn't expect these three people to still decide to go down. It would delay him quite a bit of time.

He didn't want to be discovered or disturbed by these three people down below, and he wasn't someone who killed indiscriminately. Although he could easily kill these three people, he had no grudges against them, so how could he bring himself to do it?

"It seems that I can only wait for them to find the demonic beast and then go down. I hope they hurry up," Lin Qing thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing suddenly thought of the unfriendly gaze from the two cultivators earlier, and couldn't help but sigh for that Ling cultivator.

Although he didn't know what that Ling cultivator wanted to do with the Phosphorescent Fire Beast, it was obvious that the two helpers he brought were not good-hearted people. Thinking of the gaze he had just seen, Lin Qing thought that there would probably be some killing and treasure-snatching down below.

However, following the principle of "better safe than sorry," Lin Qing had no intention of going down to help. Instead, he found a hidden place nearby and patiently waited.

While waiting, Lin Qing was not anxious. Besides continuing to teach the Purple Gold Toad, he also cultivated in meditation.

Unlike the complete Purple Mansion, he had just reached the Gold Core stage, so he was very eager for spiritual energy. Moreover, his absorption speed was not comparable to before, so he didn't want to waste any time in cultivation.

However, seven days had passed, and Lin Qing, who had been waiting nearby, hadn't seen anyone come up. He was starting to feel restless.

According to reason, although this abyss was several thousand feet deep, it shouldn't take much time for the Purple Mansion to explore it. Even if they went down to search for the Phosphorescent Fire Beast, seven days should have been enough. Even if they were killing and snatching treasures, it should have been faster. How come seven days had passed and there was no movement at all?

Lin Qing's expression was uncertain at this moment. It was still possible to continue waiting, but what if they didn't come out after ten days, a month, or even longer? Could he keep waiting?

Originally, he thought it would only take one or two days, so he was willing to wait. But now that this situation had arisen, Lin Qing didn't want to wait any longer.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing flew down with the Purple Gold Toad, directly floating into the abyss, deciding to explore it.

Unlike the pitch-black darkness Lin Qing had seen before, at this moment, after descending only a few dozen feet, the cracked rock walls on both sides began to emit a faint blue light. The deeper he went, the more of this faint light there was, and it became brighter, rendering the lighting tools Lin Qing had prepared useless.

The range of this faint light was extremely small, and it radiated downwards. From above, it would only appear pitch black.

After inspecting it, Lin Qing discovered that it was just some kind of luminescent algae that had proliferated in this abyss for some reason. Apart from emitting light, these algae didn't seem to have any other remarkable features, so Lin Qing lost interest and flew downwards with a single-minded focus.

The deeper he went, the colder it became, just as the information had stated.

And this coldness wasn't the kind that came with a cold wind, but rather everything around seemed to freeze, giving the person immersed in it only the sensation of coldness.

After flying for nearly a thousand feet, this coldness had reached the point of freezing one's bones. Even the Purple Mansion had to increase various protective measures to cope with it. As for Foundation Building and Qi Refining cultivators, they couldn't go any further, or else they would only end up freezing to death.

But Lin Qing continued to fly calmly, unaffected by the coldness around him. Even the Purple Gold Toad on his shoulder was not affected by the coldness.

He has two, one is a Gold Core and the other is a late-stage demonic beast in the Purple Mansion. The cold has no effect here.

In the blink of an eye, he reached a deep abyss thousands of zhang deep.

However, when he was about to reach the bottom, Lin Qing still added a few water shields to himself because he was still somewhat cautious about the demonic beasts inside.

When he flew tens of zhang above the bottom of the Coldwater Abyss, Lin Qing unconsciously widened his eyes.

He saw that the Coldwater Abyss at the bottom of the abyss covered an area of hundreds of square miles, and the water appeared in a faint blue color. At first glance, it looked like a dreamlike scene.

Lin Qing looked around and noticed that although there were more luminous algae as he got closer to the bottom, he found that the blue color was not caused by the luminous algae, but by the color of the water in the Coldwater Abyss.

He slowly descended onto the water surface and lightly touched it with his hand, immediately feeling a strange coldness.

But at this moment, Lin Qing was not concerned about that. Ripples appeared on the water surface where he had just touched it, but they disappeared after a moment, completely different from the water outside.

Lin Qing's heart moved, and he stirred the water with his hand, but no matter how he stirred, the waves of the water could only spread up to two feet before disappearing.

"It is indeed extraordinary water." Lin Qing was overjoyed in his heart. This was exactly the water he wanted.

But before collecting the water, Lin Qing looked around and did not find any trace of the three people from before. The Coldwater Abyss occupied the entire bottom of the abyss, and there was no land except for the water. If he didn't want to cling to the rock wall, he could only fly in the air or stay on a flying artifact.

Thinking that those three people were potential threats, Lin Qing didn't rush to collect the water. Instead, he released his divine sense and scanned the area within ten li, but he didn't find them.

However, Lin Qing discovered that the Coldwater Abyss seemed to have a certain obstruction to his divine sense, although not much, which made Lin Qing happy.

Next, Lin Qing flew above the Coldwater Abyss, scanning the surroundings, and then smiled.

To his surprise, he found those three people without much effort. However, at this moment, they seemed to be meditating and there was no movement. Lin Qing, who found it strange, immediately flew over.

This was a place thirty li away from where Lin Qing started. Floating less than ten zhang above the water surface were three flying artifacts, two of which were ordinary flying boats, while the other was a disc-shaped artifact. The three people from before were sitting on these flying artifacts, completely focused and seemingly engaged in some kind of activity.

But at this moment, Lin Qing saw a huge silk net between them, with faint red and blue threads opposing each other. The cultivator named Ling Fellow Daoist seemed to be in charge of the red threads, while the blue threads were controlled by the other two cultivators. Judging from how the blue threads had almost forced the red threads to their limit, Lin Qing knew that Ling Fellow Daoist would probably be defeated soon.

Although these three people were unable to move due to being trapped in this strange battle, they were still aware of their surroundings. When Lin Qing arrived in front of them, their expressions changed.

Lin Qing smiled, not minding this. What surprised them the most was that Lin Qing was floating in the air, unmistakably a Gold Core cultivator.

As their eyes turned, they all had their own thoughts. Before Lin Qing could speak, Ling Fellow Daoist, who was stubbornly resisting the blue threads, spoke to Lin Qing in a friendly manner.

"Senior Uncle Li, you've come."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing wondered when he became surnamed Li. Then he smiled inwardly, realizing that Ling Fellow Daoist was just taking advantage of the situation.
