I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 409: Arrival in Zhongzhou

"I see." Li Fellow Daoist nodded, not saying much more, and then they each returned to their rooms.

In his own room, Lin Qing thought about the scene just now and wondered if the Duobao Trading Company had some kind of connection with the demonic beasts, even if it wasn't significant. However, Lin Qing only pondered briefly and didn't delve deeper. Regardless of any connection, his current goal was Nascent Soul, and it would be best for him to have less involvement in these matters.

Half a month later, the airship arrived in Zhongzhou and landed in a cultivator city called Duobao City, which was controlled by the Duobao Trading Company.

The scale of this city was comparable to that of Chiyang Immortal City. According to the Fellow Daoist named He, the Duobao Trading Company controlled as many as seven cities like this in several counties. This gave Lin Qing a more specific understanding of the strength of the Duobao Trading Company.

Compared to the Hundred Treasures Tower in Yunzhou back then, it was probably not even worthy of being the Duobao Trading Company's shoe.

Of course, this was also because they were in Zhongzhou, where they could develop such a great influence. As the saying goes, "A big river nourishes big fish," and this was absolutely true.

"Fellow Daoists, I have sect missions to attend to, so I will take my leave."

After disembarking, Fellow Daoist He arched his hand towards Lin Qing and the others, preparing to leave.

"Safe travels, Fellow Daoist."

"Take care."

Lin Qing and the others smiled and replied. After Fellow Daoist He left, the others also left one after another. They had only come together because they were heading to Zhongzhou, and now that they had arrived, they naturally had to part ways. As for accompanying each other, none of them, who were all Gold Core cultivators, had such thoughts.

After bidding farewell to the Gold Core cultivators he had met on the way, Lin Qing decided to explore Duobao City first.

Not long after, Lin Qing's eyes lit up, and he walked into a shop.

When he came out, he was holding a map of Yuyang County in his hand. Lin Qing carefully examined it. This map cost him ten spirit stones, but it was extremely detailed. It marked more than four hundred cultivation markets or cities of various sizes in Yuyang County, as well as dozens of sects of different sizes. Lin Qing even saw the Qingmen Sect of Fellow Daoist He, which could be ranked in the top ten in terms of control area.

After carefully examining the map, Lin Qing did not find the name "Huang Family" on it. It seemed that the Huang Family was not in Yuyang County. After all, in Lin Qing's mind, a family that possessed this technique and could send a branch to Cangzhou would definitely not be a small family. If they were in Yuyang County, they would definitely be marked on the map.

Putting away the map, Lin Qing continued on his way.

It was unexpected that his experiences in Cangzhou during this period of time had given Lin Qing some buffer. Having experienced life in Cangzhou, he now walked in Duobao City in Zhongzhou without feeling much unfamiliarity. Many places were similar to Cangzhou.

"Hmm? This seems to be an intelligence force."

Lin Qing looked at a small building called Wanwen Tower not far away and pondered. The building wasn't big, but it was quite exquisite. At this moment, there were scattered cultivators coming and going, and from the outside, it seemed that they didn't sell ordinary pills or materials. This made Lin Qing think for a moment. It seemed like an intelligence force.

"If I rely on myself to search, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort. Now is a good opportunity to go in and ask."

Lin Qing thought about the matter of the Huang family and immediately made up his mind to enter the Wanwen Tower to see if he could gain anything.

"Senior, please go upstairs. We provide various information in the Wanwen Tower. As a senior, you can go up to the third floor." As soon as he entered, a beautiful maid said to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing looked at the maid and realized that she was not a puppet, so he smiled and went upstairs.

When he was in Yunzhou, the intelligence force called Yipin Ge liked to use puppets for reception, which made Lin Qing's actions unnecessary.

By now, Lin Qing had already changed his appearance and maintained his cultivation at the early stage of the Gold Core realm. Entering such a force, he naturally had to be cautious and disguise himself.

There were only three small rooms on the third floor. Lin Qing casually pushed open one and walked in. It took him nearly half an hour to come out.

"I didn't expect the Huang family to be in the Guchuan County. According to the map of the Central State, this county is very close to the center of the Central State, separated by four major counties and over a million miles. Moreover, the Huang family has more than one Nascent Soul cultivator. This is not good."

At this time, Lin Qing had already restored his original appearance and was sitting in a restaurant in Duobao City, contemplating.

In the Wanwen Tower, he obtained the information he wanted, but this information made Lin Qing hesitate. After all, the Huang family had more than one Nascent Soul cultivator, and it would not be easy to obtain the Ice Soul Heart Technique.

Moreover, the Huang family was in Guchuan County, which was a major county in the Central State. He was afraid that he would encounter danger.

While Lin Qing was contemplating the pros and cons and deciding whether to go or not, a person entered the restaurant. He was at the mid-stage of the Gold Core realm. Lin Qing narrowed his eyes when he saw him. It turned out to be Zhou, the steward who invited him to join the Duobao Trading Company on the ship.

When Zhou entered the restaurant, he quickly spotted Lin Qing and showed a pleasantly surprised expression, walking towards him.

"Fellow Daoist, do you remember me?" Zhou smiled and said.

When Lin Qing saw Zhou, he wondered if he was going to invite him to join the Duobao Trading Company again. He had clearly refused on the ship. With this thought, Lin Qing's face turned unpleasant.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't be upset. I specifically came to find you, not to invite you to join our Duobao Trading Company. I have something else to discuss."

Seeing Lin Qing's unhappy expression, Zhou quickly explained. Then, without waiting for Lin Qing's consent, he sat down next to him and cast a soundproof spell, seemingly unwilling to let others hear.

"Fellow Daoist, listen to me. It's definitely a good thing."

Zhou smiled and was not affected by Lin Qing's unfavorable expression. Instead, he approached Lin Qing even more.

"Fellow Daoist, your cultivation is at the peak of the Gold Core realm. If I'm not mistaken, you came to the Central State this time to break through, right? I have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give to Fellow Daoist."

Lin Qing didn't reply and took a sip of tea, waiting for Zhou to continue.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist has heard of the Three Yang Water?" Zhou smiled and said.

"Hmm?" Lin Qing looked at Zhou in surprise. An hour ago, he had no knowledge of the Three Yang Water. But when he asked about the Huang family's information in the Wanwen Tower, he also inquired about the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage. The Wanwen Tower told him about many treasures in the Central State that could increase the chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, including the Three Yang Water.
