I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 399: A Dream Every Five Years

Lin Qing turned around and looked at his grandfather and the startled Ya Zi beside him. He smiled mysteriously and then fell into deep thought.

"Life is but a dream, when will we wake up!"

After a long time, Lin Qing suddenly burst into laughter and spoke.

When the diamond bracelet on his body automatically protected him just now, he had regained all his memories and understood everything that had happened in the past five years. He felt a strange sensation in his heart. Looking back, these short five years gave him a feeling of reliving his life.

To digest this feeling, he had been contemplating for so long.

Looking at everything around him now, Lin Qing felt that the changes in the world were beyond his expectations.

When he left Yunzhou, he never expected that he, a Gold Core cultivator, would end up in such a situation. He had originally set out to go to Zhongzhou to seek a breakthrough in the path of Nascent Soul. He never expected that he would almost lose his life at sea, and even more unexpectedly, after being rescued, he would spend five years as a fish.

Looking at the bandits who had fallen from their horses, Lin Qing thought that if it weren't for them, he would probably still be unaware of how to wake up.

These five years had truly felt like a dream to him.

Then he felt fortunate that he had almost lost his life in the boundless sea. If he had lost his life, everything would have been in vain.

At this moment, everything surged in Lin Qing's heart. When the waves in his heart finally calmed down, he had a sudden realization. He had gained much more insight than before, and his state of mind was more fulfilled.

While Lin Qing was lost in thought, his grandfather and grandson beside him didn't dare to disturb him. They just stared blankly at Lin Qing.

At this moment, Lin Qing, who had been with them for five years, seemed so unfamiliar.

Suddenly, Lin Qing laughed again and looked at his grandfather and grandson. He said, "You don't need to be surprised. I am indeed a cultivator, the immortal you mentioned. Five years ago, I encountered a great disaster and happened to be saved by you two. Thanks to your care over these five years, here is some silver for you. Take it."

As he spoke, Lin Qing took out fifty taels of gold from his storage bag and placed them on the table in the room.

At the moment of his coma, he had swallowed everything on his body into his dantian, leaving only the diamond bracelet on his hand, which had the ability to protect its owner. Swallowing the other items into his dantian ensured that he wouldn't lose them. Otherwise, if they fell into the sea, he would never be able to retrieve them.

As for these fifty taels of gold, they were indeed not a small amount, but for Lin Qing, they were insignificant and seemed inappropriate for his status.

But he dared not take more, as it would harm the grandfather and grandson.

"Alright, now that I have awakened, I will leave this place. Take the silver and don't delay. Find another place to live, somewhere farther away, to avoid further disturbances. Live well in the future, as if I had never been here. Ya Zi, listen to your grandfather's words. Although you have no hope of studying in this lifetime, perhaps if you marry and have children, with good education, they may have a bright future and won't have to suffer like you did by the seaside."

After speaking, Lin Qing smiled at Ya Zi and then turned and left.

His grandfather wanted to say something, but Lin Qing didn't give him a chance to speak.

As Lin Qing passed by the bodies of three pirates, he cast a fireball spell, burning them all to ashes. As for their horses, they had already fled in panic.

Looking at the distant horizon, Lin Qing walked with light steps, laughing like a madman.

After he walked far away, the old man and his grandson looked at the gold on the ground and exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of joy. They immediately disregarded their belongings and left with the gold.

As for where they were going, no one knew.

"Cangzhou is not far from Zhongzhou," Lin Qing thought as he walked. Although he had lost his memory in the past five years, he knew that he had unintentionally arrived in Cangzhou, which was adjacent to Zhongzhou. It was a state in the cultivation world that was even stronger than Lanzhou.

"Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. With my current cultivation level, it's impossible for me to go to Zhongzhou. It seems that I should first restore my cultivation and then make plans." Lin Qing made this decision without much thought. He would first restore his cultivation and then think about Zhongzhou. Besides, Cangzhou was not weak either. Perhaps he could find a breakthrough without going to Zhongzhou.

While Lin Qing had already made up his mind to find a secluded place to restore his cultivation, he suddenly frowned and looked towards the distance.

Although his cultivation was only at the Qi Refining initial stage and his spiritual consciousness was not as strong as before, it was still not comparable to an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator. At least, it was at the level of the Violet Palace stage. He immediately sensed the presence of several Qi Refining cultivators not far away.

He thought about avoiding them, but Lin Qing had another idea and continued walking towards them.

Although he knew this was Cangzhou, he was still somewhat unfamiliar with the cultivation world here. Although his current strength was insufficient, dealing with a few Qi Refining cultivators was still simple. He could take this opportunity to gather some information.

Before long, Lin Qing encountered the group of Qi Refining cultivators. They seemed to be hunting demons or doing other things together. Seeing another cultivator like themselves, Lin Qing surprised them. After all, this place was relatively remote.

This group of cultivators consisted of three men and one woman. The man at the forefront, who was at the Qi Refining later stage, looked at Lin Qing and said, "Oh, I didn't expect to meet a Fellow Daoist here. It's truly fate."

Lin Qing had already noticed them, but he pretended to be surprised and said, "Hello, Fellow Daoists. I didn't expect to meet you either. It's just a coincidence."

While Lin Qing was speaking, the other cultivators, after their initial surprise, looked at him and showed a hint of disdain.

The lowest cultivation level among these cultivators was at the Qi Refining middle stage. Seeing that Lin Qing was only at the Qi Refining initial stage, they naturally didn't care. The female cultivator even said, "Alright, let's go quickly. We can't delay on the way."

"Then, Fellow Daoist, let's part ways here," the male cultivator also said, with a look of not wanting to say more.

Lin Qing felt a bit embarrassed. He didn't expect that they wouldn't want to talk to him at all.

However, Lin Qing still held them back. "Fellow Daoists, I am actually just a wandering cultivator and don't know much about the cultivation world. Since we have this encounter, I wonder if you could inform me if there are any markets or gathering places for cultivators nearby. I would be very grateful."

"Three hundred miles ahead, there is a small Rongfang, which is a market. You can go there yourself. It's very easy to find near Rongshan," the female cultivator said impatiently.

Seeing that Lin Qing was still asking questions, the group of cultivators became even more impatient. They quickly bypassed Lin Qing and hurriedly left.
