I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 38: The Filth Among Them

Lin Qing's mood instantly changed after hearing the matchmaker continuously talk about how these women were pure in both wealth and virtue. He stood up directly, and if it weren't for the prohibition against fighting in Xuan Yu Lane, he really wanted to teach this matchmaker a lesson.

What did they take him for, giving him these women? Isn't this a joke?

But then Lin Qing thought, perhaps he wasn't the only one. And then he remembered that the owner of the talisman shop across the street seemed to have taken concubines as well. A chill ran down Lin Qing's spine.

Finally, after giving the women a glance, Lin Qing went downstairs directly.

The matchmaker behind him, still unaware of the situation, continued to chase after Lin Qing, thinking that he hadn't found anyone he liked and wanted to replace the batch for him.

"Immortal, did none of them catch your eye?"

Lin Qing looked at the matchmaker and revealed a cold smile. "You're quite audacious. Do you really think others can't see through this? You're just a Qi Refining first layer."

"Fellow Daoist, what's the matter?" Just as Lin Qing was about to say something, a cultivator at the Qi Refining ninth layer walked out from the side.

Lin Qing stopped speaking, nodded, and suddenly understood the situation. He didn't say much more and left directly.

This Xuan Yu Lane was even darker than he had imagined.

Meanwhile, the women who remained on the second floor started discussing one by one, "Why did he suddenly leave?"

"I don't know, did he recognize us?"

"Impossible, we usually deal with mid to low-level cultivators. He's in the later stage, not one of us."

"I feel like I've seen him somewhere."

"Me too, but I can't remember."

...

Back in his own formation shop, Lin Qing felt helpless. Pure in wealth and virtue? Virtuous women? He couldn't help but sigh, feeling a bit disheartened.

To marry a concubine for Goldfinger, he was willing, but if he had to marry these women, he felt uncomfortable himself.

Perhaps there were virtuous female cultivators, but if they had to resort to this method, their purity was probably long gone. After all, the female cultivators doing this business in Xuan Yu Lane didn't just appear out of thin air. That shop must have put in a lot of effort.

Lin Qing had already figured out most of the details of this matter.

For the next half month, Lin Qing didn't think about taking concubines anymore. It was just too chaotic.

Later, when Li Qingyu and Zhao Chenyun asked persistently, Lin Qing finally told them the reason. They were even more shocked than Lin Qing, unable to imagine such a thing.

Zhao Chenyun even said, "Husband, how could this be? They are all immortals."

In Chao Yun's heart, immortals were always revered and admired figures. Before she married Lin Qing, when she lived outside Qingmu Village, she would look at immortals with envy and awe. She couldn't imagine that immortals would also do such things.

Lin Qing shook his head and said, "Immortals are also human beings, and they pursue even greater things than ordinary people. In order to cultivate immortality, they are willing to sacrifice more and endure more. This is not surprising."

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Li Qingyu nodded in agreement. Lin Qing was right. As cultivators, they desired much more than ordinary people. Who would be willing to live a life like an ordinary person?

After this incident, Lin Qing focused his energy on formations and cultivation. Both Chao Yun and Li Qingyu gave birth a few months later. He didn't want to get involved in unnecessary troubles anymore. He had recognized the consequences. If he were to go looking again, what if he didn't recognize them?

On the surface, everything seemed innocent, but when Lin Qing thought about that scene, he felt uncomfortable.

Putting his energy into formations, Lin Qing's formation cultivation had now reached the lower second-grade level. In theory, he could already create a lower second-grade formation like the Seven-Linked Water Formation. However, this formation was considered top-notch even among lower second-grade formations, and Lin Qing found it somewhat challenging with his current level of formation cultivation. He decided to buy some other second-grade formation books and try to create them.

He went to the martial arts store opened by the Wuji Sect. This store not only sold martial arts techniques but also various alchemy, refining, and formation books. The two first-grade high-grade formation books that Lin Qing bought last time were also purchased here.

"Second-grade formation books?" The cultivator in the store looked at Lin Qing with confusion.

Lin Qing was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, so the cultivator couldn't understand why he wanted to buy second-grade techniques. It was known that only Foundation Building cultivators could reach the level of a second-grade formation master. Moreover, even if Lin Qing wanted to buy them, they didn't have any for sale.

"Fellow Daoist, we don't sell second-grade formation books here," the cultivator said.

"Not for sale?" Lin Qing was puzzled. Although second-grade formations were rare in the market, they were still available for purchase. Why weren't they selling the books?

"Fellow Daoist, second-grade formations are different from first-grade formations. They are not readily available anywhere. If you want second-grade formations, you have to join a sect." Seeing Lin Qing's confusion, the cultivator kindly explained.

At this point, the cultivator changed the topic and smiled at Lin Qing, "Fellow Daoist, could it be that you are a second-grade formation master? If you really are, the Wuji Sect would warmly welcome you. The treatment for entering the sect is comparable to that of a Foundation Building cultivator. Not to mention second-grade formations, even third-grade formations are available."

Lin Qing shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, I am only a first-grade high-grade formation master. I want to buy second-grade formations just to broaden my knowledge and improve my formation skills. If they are not available, then forget it."

"First-grade high-grade is also acceptable. With your cultivation level, you would at least be treated as an inner disciple if you join our Wuji Sect." The cultivator continued to enthusiastically persuade Lin Qing.

Lin Qing politely declined and then left with a smile. The cultivator behind him said that if he ever wanted to join the Wuji Sect, he could contact him at any time or go directly to the sect.

Outside, Lin Qing revealed a hint of helplessness. If someone had said this to him when he was sixteen, it would have been great. At that time, he couldn't even beg to enter a sect. Now, he had become a sought-after talent, but he didn't want to join.

However, when he thought about the formation books he couldn't buy, Lin Qing changed direction and headed towards the Bai Bao Tower. Perhaps they would have second-grade formation books for sale there.

As soon as Lin Qing entered the second floor of the Bai Bao Tower, he encountered Wang Fellow Daoist, who he had met in his shop last time. Wang Fellow Daoist was sitting on a chair on the second floor, contemplating something. When he saw Lin Qing come in, Wang Fellow Daoist stood up and greeted him.

"Master Lin, why do you have time to come to our Bai Bao Tower today?"

Lin Qing smiled and said, "I'm here because I believe there's no harm in exploring all possibilities. How have you been, Fellow Daoist Wang?"

"Hahaha, thank you for your concern, Master Lin. Please have a seat here." As he spoke, Wang Fellow Daoist invited Lin Qing to sit at a table. Soon after, a Qi Refining second-level maid brought a cup of tea.
