I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 351: Spring Breeze Brings New Life

Lin Xusi himself possesses three spiritual roots, but over the years, Lin Xuqing has researched and refined many elixirs suitable for the Purple Mansion. He has also consumed a considerable amount of them, and now he has reached the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion, with formidable strength.

Now, let's talk about Lin Xuming, who is in seclusion. What others don't know is that after closing the door to the secret chamber, Lin Xuming, for some unknown reason, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

According to reason, breaking through in seclusion requires a calm mind and stability, but Lin Xuming couldn't stop his expression of joy.

He didn't know why he was happy, and he himself didn't know why he was happy. It wasn't because of the spiritual liquid, as he hadn't consumed it yet, nor was it because of a breakthrough in cultivation, as that hadn't been achieved either.

This genuine expression of joy from the bottom of his heart took a long time to dissipate, and then Lin Xu Tai began to attempt a breakthrough.

This year, he should be precisely 203 years old. Starting from the age of twelve when he began cultivation, it has been a total of 190 years. One could say he is a true veteran cultivator, not to mention the breakthroughs experienced by so many members of the Lin family. Therefore, this breakthrough didn't require any guidance at all. His own experience was more than enough, and unexpectedly, the breakthrough went smoothly.

Three days passed, and outside the secret chamber, Lin Xusi, Lin Xuqian, and Lin Xuming were all waiting.

Among these three, Lin Xusi's expression was truly complicated.

Back then, when Lin Xuqian failed to break through after consuming the spiritual liquid, he himself successfully broke through with only a second-grade spiritual vein and without consuming any spiritual liquid. He enjoyed a period of glory, and since then, he had always carried a faint sense of superiority towards Lin Xuqian.

However, as he grew older, that feeling faded more and more, replaced by a sense of reluctance.

Seeing Lin Xuqian aging day by day, he felt more reluctant than anyone else. He even hoped that Lin Xuqian could break through to the Purple Mansion stage. However, Lin Xuqian had already given up on this matter years ago, leaving him helpless.

Now, looking at Lin Xuqian, who only had a few years left to live, his sense of reluctance grew stronger, and he even empathized with Lin Xuqian.

Although he still had a long lifespan, he unexpectedly developed a fear of death.

This feeling may seem strange, but upon closer examination, it is normal. After all, in the face of life and death, nothing else matters. When he saw Lin Xuqian aging day by day, Lin Xusi's sense of superiority had long dissipated, replaced by genuine concern.

Suddenly, while Lin Xusi was still lost in thought, a commotion came from the secret chamber in front of him.

With his experience in breakthroughs, his face lit up, knowing that it was a success.

Even Lin Xuqian and Lin Xuming showed expressions of joy. Although they themselves were unwilling and hadn't made a breakthrough, they had also come to accept it. Lin Xutai's breakthrough was a happy event for the family.

After a while, the door to the secret chamber opened, and Lin Xutai walked out with a joyful expression.

"Xutai, congratulations," Lin Xuqian said.

After Lin Xuqian finished speaking, Lin Xusi, who was younger than him in terms of age, congratulated him, "Xutai, congratulations on your breakthrough to the Purple Mansion stage. It's a cause for celebration."

"Xutai, well done," Lin Xuming also said.

Lin Xutai looked at his three brothers and performed a grand gesture before speaking, "I owe today's success to the help of my elder brothers. To be able to break through to the Purple Mansion stage at such an age is truly fortunate."

For a moment, upon hearing these words, everyone was moved.

After Lin Xutai's breakthrough, Lin Qing also learned of the matter and felt happy for the addition of another Purple Mansion cultivator to the Lin family.

However, what Lin Qing didn't expect was that Xiao Wei died three days after Lin Xutai's breakthrough.

This made Lin Qing feel extremely uncomfortable, but when he calculated the age, Xiao Wei had lived for a full 240 years, which was quite remarkable for someone at the Foundation Building stage.

Although Lin Qing felt uncomfortable, Xiao Wei had no regrets to have reached this day.

After burying Xiao Wei, another tablet was added to the ancestral hall.

Lin Qing hadn't entered the ancestral hall for a long time. When he personally placed Xiao Wei's tablet down and looked at the hundreds of tablets in front of him, he was suddenly struck by a strong impact.

Especially when he looked at the tablets of Chao Yun, Li Qingyu, Che Yun, and Xiao Qian, he couldn't help but fix his gaze on these tablets.

These were all living people before. They were people who had accompanied him for a long time. At this moment, the scenes from the past flashed through his mind, and Lin Qing's eyes gradually became moist.

He was not a heartless person. He also wanted the people around him to accompany him until the end. But the heavens and earth did not change for human desires. Not to mention his past self, even his present and future self probably couldn't achieve this.

There is no death in the world, and no pain is ultimately just an ideal. Just like without evil, there is no good, without long, there is no short. When one accepts one side, they must also accept the other.

Under the tablets of Chao Yun and the others, there were hundreds of Lin family descendants. After more than two hundred years of establishing the family, there were already too many deceased.

Those who could be placed here had cultivation, but more of them died without his knowledge.

However, after looking for a while, Lin Qing revealed a smile.

When a spring grass dies, but when more spring grass grows, it cannot be said that it has died. It has just entered the cycle and still exists in this world.

So many people from his Lin family have died, but there are also more people being born.

In the ancestral hall, there is a Lin family Qi Refining descendant who has been here all year round, cleaning and lighting the lamps. He is already very old, and Lin Qing doesn't even know his name.

At this moment, as he watched Lin Qing staring at the tablets in a daze, he couldn't help but wipe away two tears in secret.

Lin Qing snapped back to reality and looked at him, suddenly asking, "What is your name, and whose descendant are you?"

"Replying to the ancestor, I am from the Xin generation. My name is Lin Xinfu, I am a descendant of Lin Xuyuan, the ancestor of the Lin family. After detecting my spiritual roots, I came to the Lin family mountain and later ended up in the ancestral hall." This Qi Refining descendant quickly replied.

"The Xin generation," a hint of realization flashed in Lin Qing's eyes. They had even reached the Xin generation, quite far indeed.

Then, a sense of understanding arose in his heart. He had always paid close attention to the outstanding descendants of the family. But now, he realized that beyond these outstanding descendants, there were more ordinary descendants supporting the family, and he didn't know their names or know much about them.

"How long have you been here?" Lin Qing asked again.

"Um, it's been thirty-seven years. I've been here since there was no hope of a breakthrough, earning some contributions for the younger generations of the family."

Hearing this, Lin Qing nodded, but his thoughts were unknown.

After a while, Lin Qing patted his shoulder heavily and then left the ancestral hall.

Today's ancestral hall had brought many thoughts to his mind.

After burying Xiao Wei and half a year passing, Lin Xuqian also passed away. When they buried him, what surprised everyone was that the one who cried the loudest was Lin Xusi.

As a Purple Mansion cultivator, Lin Xusi's tears flowed like rain, deeply moving many descendants of Lin Xuqian.
