I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 363 Unexpected Discovery

The one in charge of managing the mineral veins was none other than Lin Xusi, who had been appointed earlier by Lin Qing.

After successfully breaking through the Purple Mansion, Lin Qing had entrusted him with the management of all the Lin family's mineral veins. Lin Xusi had done an excellent job in this regard and had never asked Lin Qing any questions.

Over the years, Lin Xusi's cultivation had also reached the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion. With his efforts, it wouldn't be a problem for him to reach the late stage of the Purple Mansion in this lifetime.

On this day, Lin Xusi was about to go to a remote mining site where a late-stage Foundation Building demonic beast had recently appeared. He had to personally go and deal with it.

Just as he was preparing to leave, Lin Zhiqi suddenly arrived.

Although there was a generation gap between Lin Zhiqi and Lin Xusi, their relationship had always been very good. Lin Zhiqi had come to chat with Lin Xusi for no particular reason.

Lin Xusi was extremely welcoming towards this and especially since it happened to coincide with dealing with this demonic beast.

So he immediately invited Lin Zhiqi to go together, and of course, Lin Zhiqi had no objections. He also wanted to see what kind of demonic beast it was.

The two flew all the way, having a great time chatting on the flying boat. When they arrived at the mining site, they immediately began searching for the demonic beast.

This late-stage Foundation Building demonic beast was not an ordinary one. It was a Gold-Eating Beast that naturally liked to eat gold and copper. After discovering this green copper mine of the Lin family, it had settled down and was extremely hidden, making it difficult for Lin Xusi and Lin Zhiqi to find.

If Lin Xusi had come alone, he might have been discovered by this beast and it would have escaped.

But Lin Zhiqi happened to come along on this trip, and the two of them successfully captured the beast together.

"Zhiqi, this Gold-Eating Beast is really cunning. It has even connected thirteen caves in a row. We almost missed it," Lin Xusi said.

"Yes, and this beast's strength underground is much stronger than an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator can handle," Lin Zhiqi agreed.

"That's right."

After capturing the Gold-Eating Beast, the two of them sat in a house in the mining site, talking and laughing.

Suddenly, Lin Zhiqi looked up at the sky, and Lin Xusi followed suit, feeling a bit strange. But soon, his expression changed.

"Why are there cultivators flying nearby? This mining site is not big, there is only one Foundation Building cultivator from our Lin family, plus four or five Qi Refining cultivators who usually oversee it, and more than three hundred mortals. How come there are three Foundation Building cultivators appearing now?" Lin Xusi said in surprise.

With his divine sense, he had discovered that there were three Foundation Building cultivators flying towards them.

Lin Zhiqi wanted to say something, but he didn't say much. He just smiled and said, "Why don't we go and take a look? It's also a good opportunity to find out their intentions."

"Alright."

Lin Xusi nodded, and the two of them walked out of the house.

The three Foundation Building cultivators didn't expect to encounter Lin Xusi and Lin Zhiqi, two Purple Mansion cultivators, in this small mining site. After being stopped by the two of them, their expressions changed, and one of them said somewhat embarrassedly, "Senior, we are wandering cultivators from the Chiyang Immortal City. We heard that there are demonic beasts in these mountains, so we came to hunt them. We unintentionally trespassed into the mining site where the seniors are. Please forgive us, we will leave now."

"Alright, be more careful in the future. Although our Lin family doesn't prohibit cultivators from hunting demonic beasts in the mountains, don't get too close to our Lin family's resources," Lin Xusi said sternly.

"Yes, yes, senior, we will leave now."

In the midst of their conversation, the three of them flew away.

Seeing them leave, Lin Xusi couldn't help but say in annoyance, "They don't even consider where they are. Each one of them is so audacious."

After speaking, Lin Xusi noticed that Lin Zhiqi hadn't responded for a long time, so he looked at him strangely.

At this moment, Lin Zhiqi was staring in the direction the three people had gone, and for some reason, sweat drops appeared on his forehead. He tightly clenched his hands, seemingly forcing himself to remain calm.

"What's wrong, Zhiqi?" Lin Xusi asked curiously.

Lin Zhiqi looked at the direction of the three people, suddenly thought of something, shook his head, and lightly laughed, "It's nothing. Let's go back and continue drinking tea."

Seeing that Lin Zhiqi didn't want to say more, Lin Xusi didn't ask further and returned to the house with Lin Zhiqi, happily drinking tea.

However, Lin Zhiqi was extremely unsettled. Even his hands trembled as he held the tea.

Lin Xusi may not have known, but Lin Zhiqi could tell that those three people were all Gold Core cultivators. Each of them concealed their cultivation level and appeared within the range of his Lin family. It couldn't be a good thing.

Back then, Li Dan'er, relying on her winged bloodline, saw through Lin Xusi's disguise as a late Foundation Building stage cultivator with just a glance during the Qi Refining stage. This bloodline was truly powerful in seeing through concealment.

After giving birth to Lin Zhiqi, the bloodline was also inherited by him, and he inherited this ability. Now he could see through the disguises of these three people.

Although he desperately wanted to return to the Lin family mountain and tell his ancestor about this matter, he didn't dare to act rashly. Who knew if those three people would become suspicious? If the news didn't make it back, he might lose his life. With this consideration in mind, even Lin Xusi didn't dare to say much, afraid of being overheard.

At this moment, they were only talking about the devouring beast from earlier.

As for the three people who had left, after flying for a while, one of them suddenly stopped cautiously and said, "Both of them just now were Purple Mansion cultivators, and their strength is not weak. Should we kill them?"

"No need. We are on a secret mission this time to avoid alerting the enemy," another person said.

"But what if they discover us?"

"Hahaha, you're overthinking. Our secret technique of concealing our cultivation level is something even ordinary Gold Core cultivators can't detect. How could those two Purple Mansion cultivators find out?"

"But I'm still a bit worried. What if something happens?"

"This is indeed possible," one of the three Gold Core cultivators pondered, "Since that's the case, you go eavesdrop. If you find that they have noticed us or have already left, just kill them."

"Alright."

The Gold Core cultivator who had spoken earlier flew back.

However, after a quarter of an hour, he returned, now relaxed. "I was overthinking. They are still talking about a demonic beast in the same place. It seems they really haven't noticed."

"That's good. But this mission is crucial, we should be cautious."

"That's true. But can we really succeed this time? After all, we have already used this method once. Will they become suspicious?"

"Hahaha, it seems you're still too worried. Our strategy is not a one-time use. After using it once, we can still continue to use it. Besides, our previous use actually made them less suspicious. After all, they would think that we wouldn't use the same strategy again. Instead, they would fall into our trap. Don't think too much, just like last time in Xiazhou, we will lure their Gold Core cultivator out, then take over their family, and finally set up a teleportation array. When the time comes, we will attack from both sides, and Xiazhou will eventually be ours."

"In my opinion, why go through so much trouble? After all, the Gold Core cultivators nowadays are all at the border between Zhongyunzhou and Shangyunzhou. This place is just a Gold Core cultivator from the Lin family. Instead of going through all this trouble, we can just find him and kill him. Why bother with so much effort?"
