I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 378: Virtual Celebration of Failure

Although his talent is currently not worth mentioning, his desire for cultivation has never wavered. This breakthrough is his refusal to live his whole life like this. The Gold Core stage is within reach, and he must at least experience this level of cultivation.

As for the matter of fake pills and real pills, he doesn't care at all. As long as it helps him break through to the Gold Core stage, it's good enough.

Taking a deep breath and relaxing, Lin Xuqing didn't feel any nervousness. Instead, he smiled slightly and picked up the June Flower from the ground, starting to refine it.

Days passed by without them realizing it, a whole seven days had gone by.

To be honest, if Lin Qing outside hadn't sensed Lin Xuqing's presence, he might have rushed in. After all, who could break through continuously for seven days? Although the Gold Core stage is powerful, three or four days are usually enough.

But Lin Xuqing's situation made it difficult for Lin Qing to judge. All he could do was wait, hoping for a miracle.

And so, ten days passed before the door of the secret room finally opened from the inside.

During this period, there were no signs of any heavenly or earthly anomalies. Needless to say, it was a failure. Lin Qing looked at Lin Xuqing, who had become much thinner compared to before and had lost the light in his eyes.

"Xuqing, breaking through is extremely difficult. Even if you fail, you must learn to accept it calmly." Seeing Lin Xuqing in this state, Lin Qing comforted him.

Lin Xuqing nodded, but his heart was filled with despair.

When he started the breakthrough, he was still happy and thought he had a good chance of success. But once he actually attempted it, his dream was completely shattered. The difficulty of reaching the Gold Core stage was beyond his imagination. Not only did he fail to break through, he didn't even touch the door.

As for why it took ten days, it was because after the first failed attempt, he couldn't accept it and forcefully attempted another breakthrough by mobilizing his essence and blood.

Needless to say, the second attempt also ended in failure.

"Xuqing, go rest for a while. You're exhausted." Seeing that Lin Xuqing didn't want to say much, Lin Qing said so.

"Yes, Father."

Lin Xuqing clasped his hands towards Lin Qing and then turned and left.

Looking at the once handsome and elegant young man who had now fallen into such a state, Lin Qing couldn't help but feel sorry. But at the same time, he also realized that in the path of cultivation, there were many cultivators who couldn't even break through the Qi Refining stage.

Suddenly, he thought of something and looked behind him. "Don't mind him. Your father is not in a good mood right now. Don't let it affect you."

"Yes, Grandfather."

Lin Zhidan replied. After Lin Xuqing started his breakthrough, he had also come to wait outside the secret room with Lin Qing. If the breakthrough was successful, they could celebrate together, and if it failed, they could console him.

But when Lin Xuqing came out just now, he didn't even look at him. This undoubtedly disappointed Lin Zhidan. Only then did Lin Qing speak up.

"Zhidan, it seems like your cultivation is also ready for a breakthrough."

Lin Qing looked at Lin Zhidan and spoke.

Lin Zhidan was Lin Xuqing's first son, over two hundred years old now, and possessed dual spiritual roots. His talent was not bad, and by now, he had reached the Perfect Purple Mansion stage and was ready to break through to the Gold Core stage. Not only him, but Lin Yuanwu had also reached the Ninth Layer of the Purple Mansion stage and was about to reach the Perfect Purple Mansion stage.

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Lin Zhidan, who had originally wanted to break through as soon as possible, hesitated: "Ancestor, it is true that I can break through, but I want to wait a few more years. The Gold Core realm is too difficult, it is better to be prepared early. Besides, my father just used materials from the family treasury, and now he needs time to collect more."

Upon hearing Lin Zhidan's words, Lin Qing nodded. It seemed that Lin Xuqing's failure had also affected him.

Afterwards, Lin Zhidan left, and Lin Qing thought about Lin Xuqing again, but ultimately shook his head helplessly.

He went into seclusion again.

As for Lin Xuqing, in a state of frustration and despair, he returned to his residence. After a few days of adjustment, although he managed to shake off the feeling of failure, he couldn't return to his previous state no matter what. Only he himself could overcome this.

After going into seclusion, a few years later, the Purple Jade Peach matured. The mature Purple Jade Peach was still the object of contention among many Lin family cultivators.

However, Lin Qing still did not consume it. He would only consider it when his lifespan was truly insufficient.

After all the Purple Jade Peaches were picked, Lin Qing took the opportunity to bring Ling Xueqing and Ruyue to the peach tree to enjoy the scenery. The taste of it made Lin Qing reminisce for half a month.

After that, he went into seclusion for fifteen years in a row. Not only did Lin Qing break through to the eighth layer of the Gold Core realm, but he also finally integrated the Thundering Water into the Good Water Pearl.

When he first obtained the Thundering Water, Lin Qing discovered that its effects were stronger than he had imagined. After integrating it, to his surprise, the water and the original cold water merged together, creating a kind of water that Lin Qing couldn't even name.

This water was not only extremely cold and heavy, but it also had a greater inhibitory effect on divine consciousness and a stronger restraining effect on demonic energy.

Lin Qing experimented and found that with the Good Water Pearl integrated with the Thundering Water, the various magical tools he created now possessed the power of Gold Core treasures, which was incomparable to before.

If he had faced the three demonic Gold Core cultivators in the Red Sun Immortal City back then, he might have been able to defeat them all with just the Good Water Pearl.

After playing with the powerful Good Water Pearl for a while, Lin Qing stored it in his dantian. However, there was one thing that troubled him. The God-Sealing Mirror was much more troublesome than he had imagined. Even though he had reached the late stage of the Gold Core realm, it would still take at least a hundred years to completely remove the demonic energy inside. This was beyond his expectations.

To be honest, Lin Qing was a little unwilling to spend a hundred years on it, but the power of this mirror had left a deep impression on him, so he was unwilling to give up.

"Hmm."

Suddenly, Lin Qing had an idea. The Good Water Pearl he had integrated could restrain demonic energy to a certain extent. Why not try using the Good Water Pearl? It would be better than using spiritual power to remove it bit by bit.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing spat out the Good Water Pearl and began to try to remove the demonic energy from the God-Sealing Mirror.

To his surprise, this method was more than ten times faster than using spiritual power. Lin Qing was overjoyed. With the help of the Good Water Pearl, he would be able to master this powerful magical treasure in no time.

Speaking of which, after breaking through to the late stage of the Gold Core realm, his divine consciousness had already skyrocketed. Moreover, during these years of seclusion, he had not been idle. With the help of the Goldfinger, his divine consciousness had increased even more. Lin Qing felt that he could control five magical treasures, which was not something an ordinary Gold Core cultivator could compare to.

After discovering that he could remove the demonic energy faster with the Good Water Pearl, Lin Qing planned to finish the task in one go and completely cleanse it.

However, at this moment, Lin Zhidan sent a message to him, saying that he wanted to attempt a breakthrough to the Gold Core realm.

Lin Qing didn't dare to be careless about this. Instead of rushing into seclusion again, he started to guide Lin Zhidan.

Lin Qing was now powerful, but what he wanted more was for another Gold Core cultivator from his family to emerge. His own strength alone was not enough. Only when the entire family became stronger would the Lin family truly become powerful.
