I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 347: Endless Sea

He is now at the mid-stage of Gold Core, and with Goldfinger present, his divine sense is comparable to that of a late-stage Gold Core cultivator. At this moment, he sensed that a Foundation Building early-stage demon beast had discovered him and was approaching him at a not-so-slow speed.

Lin Qing was somewhat surprised. How dare this demon beast come? He didn't even disguise his aura, and yet this Foundation Building cultivator dares to come trouble him, a Gold Core cultivator.

Suddenly, Lin Qing remembered some of the experiences that Yu Yue had told him before they set off.

According to Yu Yue, when she flew from Lanzhou to Yunzhou, she did not engage in any battles with the Gold Core demon beasts in the sea. As soon as she sensed the aura of the Gold Core demon beasts, she would avoid them early on, and the Gold Core demon beasts, seeing that she was just passing through, did not actively engage with her.

But it was different for the lower-level demon beasts. As long as they detected her presence, they would recklessly attack her regardless of the difference in strength between the two sides. It seemed that the lower-level demon beasts in the endless sea harbored extreme hostility towards human cultivators. Although these lower-level demon beasts couldn't cause her much harm, it still took quite a bit of effort to get rid of them.

According to Yu Yue, there were simply too many of these low-level demon beasts, and only Gold Core cultivators could be fearless. If it were a Purple Mansion cultivator, they might even perish while dealing with a group of Foundation Building demon beasts on the sea surface.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing didn't pay much attention to this demon beast. It seemed that it was just natural animosity at play.

Before long, Lin Qing saw this Foundation Building early-stage flying bird, which looked like a common cold bird. As soon as this bird saw him, it attacked him as if it had encountered a mortal enemy, spitting out many ice spikes with considerable power.

However, these attacks were not a problem for Lin Qing.

After easily blocking them, Lin Qing extended a finger, and a very fast white light emerged from it. This white light was formed by his physical and spiritual energy. Even a Foundation Building cultivator would not be able to withstand it, let alone a Gold Core cultivator.

The white light appeared and disappeared quickly. In an instant, the cold bird that had been pierced through fell into the sea.

Lin Qing had no interest in its corpse. It was not worth much.

After dealing with this ungrateful cold bird, Lin Qing was about to leave and continue his search.

Suddenly, Lin Qing frowned.

In his senses, another Foundation Building early-stage cold bird was coming towards him, and within a radius of ten li, there were also several Qi Refining birds flying towards him.

"Are they all here to die?" Lin Qing muttered to himself, finding it difficult to understand this behavior of moths flying into the fire.

However, this might be the reason why human cultivators couldn't intervene in the endless sea. Although these demon beasts were weak, they were fearless and far from comparable to human cultivators. Human cultivators would generally mind their own business as long as they were not actively attacked. How could such a thing happen?

If human cultivators saw him, whether they were Qi Refining, Foundation Building, or even Purple Mansion cultivators, they would run as far as they could, afraid that their legs wouldn't be fast enough.

At this moment, sensing the approach of these demon beasts, although Lin Qing didn't care, he couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.

After all, this was the endless sea, and the demon beasts seemed to be endless as well.

He repelled one wave, but there were probably many more waiting for him behind. Unlike Yu Yue, who left Lanzhou and hurried along the way, many low-level demon beasts couldn't catch up with her even if they discovered her. But now, Lin Qing had to search for spiritual veins in the endless sea. His speed was not fast, and sometimes he had to release his divine sense to search repeatedly. These low-level demon beasts that couldn't be driven away or killed were truly annoying.

While Lin Qing was thinking, a monster had already arrived. Lin Qing easily dealt with it, but there were more monsters behind.

"If only there were means to deter these monsters," Lin Qing thought. His cultivation was useless against these monsters, and it didn't deter them at all. On the contrary, it attracted them. Unless there were other means. However, completely concealing his aura would require suppressing his divine sense, which would compromise his safety and prevent him from searching for islands.

"Hmm!"

Suddenly, Lin Qing thought of something and looked at the purple-gold toad on his shoulder.

The purple-gold toad was lying on his shoulder, about the size of a palm. Since they set sail, it had been sleeping soundly, very leisurely.

"Little Jin, don't sleep. Try releasing your aura!" Lin Qing said to the purple-gold toad. In his opinion, his own aura might not work, but the purple-gold toad should be able to. After all, it was a monster.

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, the purple-gold toad, who was sleeping comfortably, blinked its eyes and looked around in confusion, thinking it was still dreaming.

"You little Jin, you're so lazy," Lin Qing said irritably. Since the purple-gold toad reached the later stage of the Purple Mansion, it had become even more fond of sleeping. Of course, this might also be related to its breakthrough. Under normal circumstances, Lin Qing wouldn't disturb it.

The purple-gold toad woke up at this moment. Although it hadn't fully awakened earlier, it had heard Lin Qing's words. It shook its head and released its aura at the later stage of the Purple Mansion.

Soon, Lin Qing's face lit up.

"It really works. Since the purple-gold toad released its aura, these monsters weaker than it voluntarily retreated. It seems that there is always a counterbalance between things." Lin Qing happily realized that he couldn't solve this problem with his mid-stage Gold Core cultivation, but the purple-gold toad, with only a later stage of the Purple Mansion, easily resolved it. This could be described as one thing restraining another.

Releasing its aura was not difficult for the purple-gold toad. Therefore, after Lin Qing concealed his aura in the Purple Mansion, he let the purple-gold toad continue releasing its aura. For a while, there was no interference from low-level monsters, and Lin Qing could focus on searching for spiritual veins.

Speaking of spiritual veins, they were sometimes distributed on the seabed in the Endless Sea, and sometimes on small islands on the sea surface.

As for the ones on the seabed, Lin Qing didn't even consider them. Even if he obtained them, he couldn't stay there for long. His main focus was on the spiritual veins on the small islands. Any island with advanced spiritual veins would have abundant spiritual energy, so theoretically, they shouldn't be difficult to find.

After flying for dozens of miles, Lin Qing saw the first island.

However, to his disappointment, this island was more than three miles long and wide, but it didn't have a single spiritual vein. There were only a large number of seabirds nesting on it. After taking a glance, Lin Qing left and continued searching.

Meanwhile, the purple-gold toad was lying on his shoulder, starting to doze off again.

"This is not an easy task."

Seven days later, on a resting reef five hundred miles away from Yunzhou, Lin Qing thought so.

During these seven days of searching, he had come across many small islands in the sea, but none of them had the spiritual veins Lin Qing wanted. On the third day, he even encountered a Gold Core monster skilled in concealment. Lin Qing's powerful divine sense didn't detect it at first. If it weren't for Lin Qing's fast running afterwards, they might have ended up in a fight.
