I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 377: Late Gold Core

However, after shouting these two words, Daoist Mu Bai fell unconscious again.

"Eh!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Qing and the others sighed and quickly returned to their own residences.

Back in his own residence, Lin Qing couldn't help but feel a sense of dissatisfaction with the events of the past few days. After all, they were so close to completely driving out the demonic forces in Lan Prefecture.

But then he remembered what Yue had told him, that there were at least three Nascent Soul cultivators in Lan Prefecture. Lin Qing thought that perhaps this was not a bad outcome. After all, even if Daoist Mu Bai managed to drive out the demonic forces, if the Nascent Soul cultivators were to retaliate, things could become even worse. Now that the mediators from Zhong Prefecture had arrived, it might actually be a good thing.

Half a day later, Daoist Mu Bai woke up, and this time Lin Qing and the others didn't say anything more.

Daoist Mu Bai was going back to Zhong Yun Prefecture, accompanied by Master Lei Jianzi and Fellow Daoist Hua. Lin Qing, on the other hand, was going back to the Lin Family Mountain. The group bid farewell to each other.

On the way back, Lin Qing looked at the mountains and rivers below and couldn't help but sigh. Man proposes, but Heaven disposes. There are many helplessness in the world, but that's just how it is.

A month later, news of a complete ceasefire between Yun Prefecture and the demonic forces in Lan Prefecture spread throughout Yun Prefecture.

The main content of the ceasefire agreement was similar to what Lin Qing had known before. With the intervention of the Nascent Soul cultivators from Zhong Prefecture, Lan Prefecture and the forces in Yun Prefecture would be divided by Yun Prefecture as the boundary. In the future, the demonic forces in Lan Prefecture would occupy the lower part of Yun Prefecture, while the local forces in Yun Prefecture would occupy the upper part of Yun Prefecture and Zhong Yun Prefecture. The two sides were not allowed to invade each other, and if Zhong Prefecture was invaded, they would take action.

It can be said that with this agreement, the situation in Yun Prefecture would not change much, probably not for a hundred or even hundreds of years.

Of course, some cultivators in Yun Prefecture were filled with righteous indignation and refused to accept the agreement. After all, many cultivators had already developed a deep hatred for the demonic forces after their invasion. How could they easily accept a ceasefire? But Daoist Mu Bai could only do this, so what could others do? They could only feel a sense of frustration.

Now the local forces in Yun Prefecture occupied Zhong Yun Prefecture and the lower part of Yun Prefecture. Zhong Yun Prefecture was much more prosperous than the lower part of Yun Prefecture. Some cultivators who had taken refuge in the lower part of Yun Prefecture due to the demonic invasion had already started to return to Zhong Yun Prefecture after the ceasefire. The lower part of Yun Prefecture became desolate for a while.

But there were also many cultivators who decided to settle down in the lower part of Yun Prefecture. Overall, the lower part of Yun Prefecture was still more prosperous than before the demonic invasion.

At this time, Lin Qing also sent back the descendants of his family who had been sent to Zijin Mountain. Although the preparations made earlier were not used due to the ceasefire, it was still better to have them than not.

After completing these tasks, Lin Qing rearranged the affairs of his family and then immersed himself in seclusion.

During this seclusion, he had two goals. One was to advance his cultivation to the late stage of Gold Core, and the other was to refine his treasures. For example, the newly acquired Thunderous Water needed to be integrated into the Good Water Pearl, and the Imprisoning Mirror needed to be cleansed of its demonic aura. It was going to be a busy period.

Time flew by, and Lin Qing was already 350 years old. One day during his cultivation, he felt a surge of energy and looked ahead with a hint of joy.

Late Gold Core, achieved.

Upon reaching the late stage of Gold Core, Lin Qing felt that his spiritual power was more than twice that of the mid stage of Gold Core, and his divine sense had also grown significantly.

"Not bad. Although Yue reached the late stage of Gold Core three years ago, I'm not slow either. After all, it has only been more than 80 years since I broke through to Gold Core. This speed is quite good, and the most important thing is that I haven't encountered any bottlenecks." Lin Qing thought to himself. It took him just over 80 years to break through to the late stage of Gold Core, which was quite impressive. Perhaps there were not many people in Yun Prefecture who could achieve this.

After breaking through the later stage of the Gold Core realm, Lin Qing also relaxed a lot. He got up from the secret room and walked outside.

As for refining magic treasures, it would still take more time. This matter couldn't be rushed.

When he arrived outside, it was still the bustling Lin Family Mountain. However, because the Lin Family now occupied the Zhao Kingdom, the number of cultivators in Lin Family Mountain, apart from the Lin Family descendants, did not increase. It remained at a stable level. After all, if there were no restrictions, the spiritual veins of Lin Family Mountain would not be able to bear it.

Speaking of spiritual veins, Lin Qing and Ruyue were still taking turns cultivating on Zijin Mountain. The Zijin Toad was always left on Zijin Mountain by Lin Qing and not carried with him.

But according to Ruyue's recent words, it seemed that the aura of the Zijin Toad had become stronger.

This made Lin Qing couldn't help but feel delighted. If the Zijin Toad could break through the Gold Core realm, it would be a great thing.

"Dad!"

Just as Lin Qing came out of seclusion, Lin Xuqing found him.

"Xuqing, what's the matter?" Lin Qing looked at Lin Xuqing. Under normal circumstances, Lin Xuqing wouldn't take the initiative to find him. There must be something going on this time.

Looking at Lin Xuqing's cultivation level, it had actually reached the perfection of the Violet Mansion realm. Could it be that he was thinking of breaking through the Gold Core realm? Lin Qing thought of this in an instant, and when he calculated his age, Lin Xuqing was almost three hundred years old. If he didn't seize the opportunity, it would become increasingly difficult.

Sure enough, as Lin Qing expected, Lin Xuqing did want to try breaking through the Gold Core realm. After all, he had already reached the perfection of the Violet Mansion realm. Regardless of success or failure, he had to give it a try.

However, Lin Qing didn't hold much hope.

"Xuqing, if you want to try the Gold Core realm, Dad will definitely support you wholeheartedly. But you should also know that your chances of breaking through are not great. Dad is not trying to discourage you, but you have been using pills to advance your cultivation since the Violet Mansion realm. This is a big hidden danger. Breaking through the Gold Core realm is several times more difficult than ordinary cultivators, not to mention that you only have three spiritual roots, which makes it even more difficult." Lin Qing said solemnly.

"Dad, I know what you're saying, but I still want to give it a try." Lin Xuqing spoke up. He knew that his chances were not great, but he had already cultivated to this point. He had to give it a try no matter what.

Lin Qing nodded and then said, "Alright, whatever you need, Dad and the family will fully support you."

Upon hearing Lin Qing's assurance, Lin Xuqing nodded and then mentioned several things he needed.

These things were the June Flower, the Earth Star Wood, and a Purple Wood Vine. They were all beneficial for breaking through cultivation realms. The Lin Family had accumulated them over the years, and Lin Qing took them out for Lin Xuqing.

But even with these things, Lin Qing still felt that Lin Xuqing's chances of breaking through were at most fifty percent, or even lower.

After receiving these items, Lin Xuqing immediately began to attempt the breakthrough. Lin Qing did not go into seclusion again, but stayed on Lin Family Mountain to protect Lin Xuqing. Although the success rate was not high, it was still something that needed to be taken seriously.

After entering the secret room, Lin Xuqing sat down to adjust his breath and let out a deep breath.

He had been cultivating since he was young, relying on his outstanding three spiritual roots in the Lin Family. He had been unparalleled in the early stages, and there was no need to rely on anything during the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages. It went smoothly. It was only when he reached the Violet Mansion realm that he felt the difficulty and had to forcefully advance with a large amount of medicine.

Nowadays, his three spiritual roots were no longer considered outstanding. The Lin Family had many cultivators with dual spiritual roots, and there were even those with heavenly spiritual roots.
