I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 356: Unexpected Guest of the Qingfeng Sect

It was none other than that Daoist Mu Bai, the mid-Gold Core cultivator whom Lin Qing had encountered in the Master Qiongshan's cave. No one had expected that he would single-handedly resist the demonic path.

Of course, that's not entirely accurate. It should be said that he relied on the restrictions in his possession.

By the time the demonic path had occupied two-thirds of Zhongyun Province and several Gold Core cultivators had fallen, this cultivator, who had already advanced to the late Gold Core stage, suddenly appeared and trapped five Gold Core cultivators of the demonic path in one fell swoop.

Among the trapped five Gold Core cultivators was also a late Gold Core cultivator, but he was also trapped by him and before he could escape, he was killed by him along with three others.

After suffering this blow, the demonic path in Lanzhou Province dared not make any rash moves for a while.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing was overjoyed and later learned that this was the opportunity he had obtained in Master Qiongshan's cave.

Daoist Mu Bai had a powerful divine sense. After solving the difficult problem of the formation, he obtained the last two treasures. One was Master Qiongshan's lifebound magic treasure, and the other was a restriction refined by Master Qiongshan.

To ordinary people, once this restriction was set up, it couldn't be moved. However, Master Qiongshan truly lived up to his reputation as the number one restriction master in Zhongyun Province. He actually refined an intermediate enemy-restraining restriction into a portable restriction disc.

Although it had been refined into a portable form, it was not easy to unleash its full power.

Daoist Mu Bai had been studying this item all along. When the demonic path was about to occupy the entire Zhongyun Province, although he hadn't fully comprehended it, he couldn't care about that much and immediately used it. Who would have thought that the effect would be so good?

With this restriction disc and his own cultivation, unless a Nascent Soul stage cultivator appeared, the ordinary Gold Core cultivators in Lanzhou Province would be helpless against him.

After learning all this, Lin Qing couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy. After all, those treasures were right in front of him. Although he had obtained the inheritance of restrictions and the Thousand Shield, compared to what Daoist Mu Bai had obtained, he was still lacking.

However, Lin Qing was just thinking about it. He was not a greedy person.

After Daoist Mu Bai displayed his might, the demonic path dared not advance, and the cultivators in Zhongyun Province needed time to recuperate. For a while, both sides were at a stalemate.

Last time, when the demonic path occupied Zhongyun Province, they launched an attack after only two months. No one knew how long it would take this time.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and the demonic path remained inactive.

It seemed that after occupying most of Zhongyun Province, they were satisfied, or perhaps they couldn't find a way to deal with Daoist Mu Bai for the time being.

Seeing that a year had passed without any movement, many cultivators in Zhongyun Province began to have ideas. Zhongyun Province now had more than enough means to defend itself, and a counterattack was difficult. It seemed that the demonic path would not retreat, and in the future, Zhongyun Province might form a situation of confrontation between righteousness and evil.

Since there wouldn't be any changes in the short term, these cultivators began to take action.

The Upper Zhongyun Province, which was originally looked down upon by the cultivators in Central Zhongyun Province, suddenly became popular because it was far from the battlefield. Many cultivators flocked there.

For example, the Dali and Chu countries not only had wandering cultivators entering, but also some sects from Central Zhongyun Province competing for territory. These sects included those that still existed and those that had been destroyed by the demonic path. Whether it was to leave a way out for their own sects or to rebuild their sects, they were all fiercely competing in Dali and Chu countries.

As for the sects in Dali and Chu countries themselves, they were completely powerless now and had to shrink their territories to make way for these forces from Central Zhongyun Province.

Due to the scarcity of resources, the Wei, Yan, and Zhao countries were not interested in getting involved for the time being, but there was an influx of various wandering cultivators.

The sheer number is astonishing.

Various markets have become more prosperous than ever before, such as the Xuan Yu Market controlled by the Lin family. In just a few months, the number of people has skyrocketed to over a thousand. Even the Qing Mu Market, which was rebuilt earlier, has gathered two to three hundred scattered cultivators. The Lin family has increased their vigilance in these places.

As for the Lin family's gathering and the Chi Yang Immortal City, it goes without saying that the number of people has instantly doubled.

The Lin family is making a fortune solely from rent.

In this situation, another year has passed in the blink of an eye, and even small and medium-sized sects from the Wei and Yan countries have arrived. Because of Lin Qing, the Gold Core cultivator in the Zhao country, those small and medium-sized sects dare not interfere, and Lin Qing has not heard of any sects coming.

However, because the Lin family has Lin Qing, a Gold Core cultivator, most small and medium-sized sects dare not come. But some forces that understand the situation in the Zhao country have set their sights on the Qing Feng Sect.

After all, it is known from the surface that the Qing Feng Sect only has two Purple Mansions and is not strong in strength, but it has a third-grade spiritual vein and occupies a considerable territory in the Zhao country.

On this day, several unexpected guests arrived at the Qing Feng Sect.

They immediately asked to see the Sect Master of the Qing Feng Sect.

"Elders, our Sect Master is not easily seen now. Is there anything you can tell me first, and I will report it to the Sect Master?" A Foundation Building cultivator in the middle stage of the Qing Feng Sect spoke to the four people in front of him.

"What can you, a Foundation Building cultivator, say? We, the Four Old Men of Tongshan, are here to give face to your sect. How can your Sect Master not even want to see us?" The person leading the four said, while the other three remained silent, but their eyes were coldly staring at this disciple.

"This is not the case. It's just that our Sect Master..." Before this disciple could explain anything, a voice suddenly came, and he immediately relaxed.

"Alright, you can step back. I will personally receive these Fellow Daoists."

The one speaking was none other than Qin, the Sect Master of the Qing Feng Sect.

Upon hearing their Sect Master say this, the disciple immediately left, and Qin looked at the four people, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

Although he had never heard of the Four Old Men of Tongshan before, their strength was not weak. One was in the later stage of the Purple Mansion, two were in the middle stage, and one was in the early stage. It should be noted that he himself was only in the middle stage of the Purple Mansion.

"Fellow Daoists, if you don't mind, the sect has spiritual tea to offer. Please, Fellow Daoists." Qin, the Sect Master, said politely.

"Hmph!"

One of the Four Old Men of Tongshan snorted coldly and walked in without any courtesy.

If he had previously intended to treat them with respect, that idea disappeared when he saw Qin, the Sect Master. After all, Qin, the Sect Master, was only in the middle stage of the Purple Mansion, and with just one glance, it was clear that he didn't have many years left. What was there to fear about such a person?

Qin, the Sect Master, also showed a hint of helplessness. His cultivation had long since reached its limit, and even being able to live until now was because of his good relationship with the Lin family. He had previously obtained a Purple Jade Peach from the Lin family, otherwise, he would have long passed away. How could he have lived until today?

Sitting in a magnificent hall within the sect, with a disciple pouring tea beside him, Qin, the Sect Master, and the Four Old Men of Tongshan sat down. Qin, the Sect Master, asked, "I don't know what brings you, Fellow Daoists, to our Qing Feng Sect. You are all unfamiliar."

"Of course we are unfamiliar. The four of us were originally cultivating in the Tongshan region of the Central Cloud Province, while you are in the Zhao country of the Lower Cloud Province. We are so far apart, how can we not be unfamiliar?" One of the Four Old Men of Tongshan, in the middle stage of the Purple Mansion, spoke, while the other three remained silent.
