I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 379: To Dan Gold Core (Part 1)

After witnessing Lin Xuqing's failure last time, Lin Zhidan clearly made thorough preparations for this breakthrough attempt.

Not only did he gather various materials, but he also chose a specific day.

"Two days from now? Is there something special about that?" Lin Qing was puzzled. When he heard Lin Zhidan say that he must break through in two days, he didn't understand the significance. In his opinion, there was nothing special about two days from now.

Lin Zhidan smiled apologetically, "Master, this is just a desperate attempt. I know that my chances of success are not high, so I want to achieve perfection in other aspects. I calculated that it should rain on the day after tomorrow. Master, you may not know, but ever since I was young, I have always felt calm on rainy days. So I want to increase my chances by taking advantage of this."

"I see."

Lin Qing nodded, feeling relieved after hearing Lin Zhidan's explanation.

To be honest, he was afraid that Lin Zhidan would do something like Lin Xuchang did in the past, using something he didn't know to calculate. In that case, he would be extremely worried.

But now, it was just because rainy days brought a sense of calmness, and Lin Qing could completely understand this. Sometimes he felt the same way.

After cultivators reach a high level of cultivation, changes in weather don't have much impact on them, unlike ordinary people who can't travel when it rains heavily. However, suitable weather still has many benefits, especially for breakthroughs.

On the day after tomorrow, not only the Lin family mountain, but the entire Zhao country was covered in dense rain.

The rain fell from the sky, hitting the Lin family mountain and making a continuous sound. At this time, Lin Zhidan also began his closed-door breakthrough.

"Master, I'm going in."

Lin Zhidan bowed to Lin Qing and Lin Xuqing, then walked into the secret room.

After the secret room door closed, Lin Qing looked at Lin Xuqing. After these years, Lin Xuqing had recovered, but Lin Qing could still see a faint worry in his expression.

"Xuqing, have you ever heard a saying in the mortal world?" Lin Qing suddenly said.

Lin Xuqing looked at Lin Qing, and he continued, "People often say that the road is uneven. While others ride horses, I ride a donkey. Looking back, I see a man pushing a cart. Comparing upwards, I am lacking; comparing downwards, I have more than enough. You must learn to be content. I know you are disappointed that you haven't broken through to the Gold Core stage, but many cultivators haven't even reached the Foundation Building stage. Moreover, even if you break through to the Gold Core stage, there is still the Nascent Soul stage. If you can't break through then, won't you be disappointed again?"

"And think about when you first broke through to the Purple Mansion stage. How happy you were back then. But now, even though your Purple Mansion is complete, you can't find any joy in it."

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Lin Xuqing suddenly remembered the scene when he broke through to the Purple Mansion stage. At that time, as his father said, he was so happy, as if everything was within his grasp, and he felt satisfied with this lifetime. But now, even though his Purple Mansion was complete, he felt so worried and disappointed, as if he was being greedy.

However, Lin Xuqing thought of something and lowered his head, "Father, I understand what you're saying, and I understand it logically. But no matter how I think about it, I can't convince myself. It's like eating. At first, our family only ate low-grade spiritual rice, then it became medium-grade, and later we could casually eat high-grade rice. But I always feel it's not enough, and I always want something better. Because I keep thinking, if we can eat high-grade rice, why can't we eat something even better?"

Hearing Lin Xuqing's words, Lin Qing shook his head, "That's why they say the sea of desires is boundless, and seeking only leads to self-harm."

Lin Xuqing didn't say anything more, looking at the closed secret room door, his eyes filled with unknown thoughts.

Lin Qing also remained silent.

The secret room door remained closed for three days. On the fourth day, a loud rumbling sound came from the sky above the Lin family mountain, and the dark clouds around it gathered even more.

The rain that had been falling during the closed-door cultivation was still pouring, but at this moment, the rain was no longer just rain; it was more like water pouring from the sky.

For a while, the sky above the Lin family mountain was pitch black, and the rain was dense like a swarm of bees. Accompanied by the rumbling sound, all the cultivators looked up in astonishment, wondering what kind of omen this was.

And Lin Qing saw this scene, but he was happy in his heart, and then flew to the highest peak of the Lin family mountain.

If he thought correctly, this should be the Thunder Tribulation of the Gold Core. When he broke through initially, he encountered this situation. However, his own Thunder Tribulation back then dissipated on its own. But now, it seems that Lin Zhidan's Thunder Tribulation will not be easily dissipated.

In this situation, as the head of the Lin family, Lin Qing will definitely lend a helping hand.

Speaking of which, when breaking through the Gold Core, most cultivators will encounter Thunder Tribulation. However, not many directly perish under the Thunder Tribulation. But it can be certain that after enduring the Thunder Tribulation, they will be considerably weakened, and some may take several years to recover.

Naturally, Lin Qing does not want Lin Zhidan to bear it alone. Moreover, he wants to test the power of his magic treasure.

"Boom!"

A loud noise, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm suddenly shot down from the sky.

"Go!"

Lin Qing released the Goodwater Pearl, forming a water shield in a very short time, and then the water shield directly met the lightning.

"Bang!"

The two collided, producing a burst of explosion sound, and the lightning and water shield disappeared in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qing nodded. The power of this lightning is similar to that of an early Gold Core cultivator's attack. However, his water shield only used thirty percent of its power. It can be said that after condensing the Thundering Water, the Goodwater Pearl has become extremely powerful.

Lin Zhidan's Thunder Tribulation this time is not very powerful. After the first lightning strike, a long time passed before the second one fell.

Needless to say, it was easily broken by Lin Qing as well.

After deciphering the second lightning strike, Lin Zhidan had already flown out of the secret room.

Seeing this, Lin Qing decided to leave the third lightning strike to Lin Zhidan himself. However, for safety, Lin Qing lent his Thousand Shield to Lin Zhidan.

At this moment, Lin Zhidan's face was full of joy. After receiving Lin Qing's Thousand Shield, he immediately activated it. In the instant the third lightning strike came down, he commanded the Thousand Shield to meet it.

"Bang!" With a sound, Lin Zhidan, aided by Lin Qing's Thousand Shield, easily withstood the third lightning strike.

After the third lightning strike passed, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the rain that had just fallen slowly retreated.

Not long after, a ray of sunlight emerged from the clouds.

"Thank you, Senior, for your help." After returning the Thousand Shield to Lin Qing, Lin Zhidan bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Lin Qing looked at Lin Zhidan, who was now a Gold Core cultivator, and nodded with great satisfaction. At this time, the people below also reacted, and various clamoring voices filled the air.

"Zhidan, come down. We're all waiting to congratulate you."

Lin Qing smiled and said, and Lin Zhidan also smiled before flying down.

Watching Lin Zhidan land and be surrounded by the crowd, Lin Qing revealed a contented smile.

To be honest, he didn't expect Lin Zhidan to succeed. After all, the Gold Core realm is not easy to attain.

But now, there is no need to say these things anymore. Breaking through the Gold Core means reaching new heights and having a place in the entire Yunzhou.
