I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 330: Master Poda

"Who am I and why should I tell you? Besides, isn't your Lin Family Market open to the public? If others can come, why can't I? Acting suspiciously? It's because you couldn't discover me yourself, right? Today, I didn't expect you to actually find me, but it's not right to say I'm acting suspiciously. I am here openly and honestly, renting a shop from you and I even have the receipt with me."

This person's voice was hoarse and extremely unpleasant. At this moment, he even took out a receipt and threw it directly at Lin Qing.

Upon seeing it, Lin Qing was even more shocked. This person had been renting here for twenty years, and had renewed the lease for fifty years. Does this mean he still wants to stay for another thirty years?

Upon closer inspection, this person's cultivation level was slightly higher than his own, at the mid-stage of Gold Core.

"Fellow Daoist, the Lin Family Market does not exclude anyone, but with your cultivation level, living in our Lin Family Market might be a bit stifling for you. Yunzhou is so big, I really can't understand why Fellow Daoist would come to our Lin Family Market. Please enlighten me."

"Stifling? Hehehe!" This mid-stage Gold Core cultivator laughed, sounding like a mischievous ghost, making Lin Qing's scalp tingle.

"I, Master Poda, don't feel stifled. Do you know a saying? Wherever the heart is free, it is the immortal realm. No matter where I am, it's all the same to me. Besides, there are only a few spiritual veins in Yunzhou that I can use. It's more comfortable to stay here. If it weren't for today's unintentional reveal of my flaws, we wouldn't have known each other. Isn't that a beautiful thing?"

"A beautiful thing? I don't think so." Looking at this person who called himself Master Poda, Lin Qing was full of vigilance. However, he also thought that it was possible for such a person to exist, wandering freely in the world, and perhaps he had unintentionally come to their Lin Family Market.

Seeing that Lin Qing had been staring at him, Master Poda smirked, "Alright, I know you. You are the head of the Lin Family, who just advanced to the Gold Core stage a few years ago. But don't worry, I'm just here to stay casually. I didn't expect to cause any trouble for your Lin Family Market. Besides, if I wanted to do something, wouldn't it have been more convenient when your strength was only at the first level of Gold Core? If I had waited until now, it wouldn't have worked, don't you think?"

Hearing this, Lin Qing also thought that it made sense. Master Poda had been living here for twenty years, so if he really wanted to do something, he wouldn't have waited until today.

But then he thought about it again. He couldn't calm down knowing that such a person had stayed under his nose for so long.

He looked around again. This was just a simple shop in the Lin Family Market, with no changes made. The front sold various first-grade talismans, and the place where people lived seemed normal.

"Hmm? Something's not right!"

Lin Qing was shocked. He smelled a sweet fragrance in the air, somewhat similar to the spirit honey produced by the bee colony he had tamed in the past.

Although there were many types of spirit honey in the world, only the bee colony he had tamed had this particular scent. After all, he had come into contact with many of them when he was feeding the two-headed bear, and had long remembered this unique scent.

Seeing Lin Qing's expression change, the old man with the torn bag also showed a hint of surprise.

"Our Linjia Mountain's Ling Honey is only for the Lin family. Don't say that this is not our Lin family's Ling Honey, or that you obtained it through other means. It's not something that everyone in our Lin family can obtain."

"This... I, Master Poda, stumbled upon it by chance. Besides, that peak group is not inside your Linjia Mountain. Who knows if it belongs to your Lin family? I thought it was ownerless. What's the big deal if I take a little? " Master Poda said confidently.

"You don't know it belongs to my Lin family? If it were Foundation Building saying this, I might believe it. But as a Gold Core, you can't even detect the divine sense I planted? Ownerless? You're speaking too lightly." Lin Qing retorted, leaving Master Poda speechless.

At this moment, Lin Qing looked towards the back room. Although he was blocked by Master Poda, he still saw a small cauldron and smelled a faint scent of what seemed to be spiritual medicine.

"You're not successful in alchemy? It seems to have the scent of Dragon Blood Grass, which is a healing spiritual medicine. And my Ling Honey also has a certain restorative effect on injuries. I think... you're afraid that you came to my Lin family for healing, right? Who are you exactly?" Lin Qing bluntly stated his speculation, unintentionally hitting the mark. Master Poda had indeed come for healing, and he had come here precisely because it was secluded and peaceful.

Looking at Lin Qing, Master Poda didn't bother to disguise himself and smirked, asking in return, "That's right, I came here for peace and healing. But does that matter? Your Lin family has so many scattered cultivators, can't it accommodate one more? Are you really going to make a fuss today? Releasing your treasures, what do you intend to do?"

"Hmph, it's not that we can't accommodate you, but your cultivation level shouldn't be here. Even if it's not my Lin family, if you were to go to the market established by the major sects in Zhongyun Province, do you think no one would ask? I've been polite enough. Let me say it again, who are you? Although I've only recently reached the Gold Core stage, I still have some understanding of the Gold Core cultivators in Zhongyun Province. Your mid-stage Gold Core cultivation is definitely not that of an unknown person or a newly promoted Gold Core. It's better to clarify things today, it's good for both of us."

"It seems I have no choice but to tell you?" Master Poda's face darkened as he asked.

"That's right, otherwise I won't be at ease. Of course, if you're unwilling to say and prefer to leave, I won't keep asking."

Master Poda glanced at the room. The medicinal pills he was using to heal his injuries were not fully refined yet. He had been discovered by Lin Qing because he had been focusing on alchemy just now, and when Lin Qing's divine sense spread, it unintentionally resisted, resulting in Lin Qing's discovery. As for leaving, he didn't want to leave here in the short term. His injuries were not light. He looked at Lin Qing again and saw that his treasures were also impressive. He sighed helplessly.

"Alright, since you've been asking persistently, I'll tell you. I came from Lanzhou, not from your Zhongyun Province. As for why I came here, it's only for healing. You don't need to worry. Once my injuries improve in a few years, I will leave."

"Lanzhou?" Lin Qing was greatly surprised. This was not Zhongyun Province. This person had actually come from another province, which was beyond his expectations.

Thinking of something, Lin Qing asked again, "So, were you injured on the way or in Lanzhou?"

"Lanzhou." Master Poda reluctantly uttered two words.

Lin Qing became somewhat angry, "With your strength, I'm sure the person who injured you is also a powerful cultivator. You came from Lanzhou and are now seeking refuge and healing in my Lin family. Haven't you considered that if your enemies were to pursue you and think that our Lin family has sheltered you, then our Lin family would suffer unjustly?"
