I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 418: Double Portion of Three Yang Water

Upon hearing Elder Gu's words, Lin Qing nodded, but couldn't help but ask curiously, "Elder, is this demon from the demon realm? And what exactly is the demon realm?"

Elder Gu smiled and replied, "The demon realm is said to be an adjacent existence to our human realm. You are all demons, and many demonic techniques in our cultivation world are said to have originated from the demon realm. As for more details, I don't know. Only those Soul Formation or Nascent Soul cultivators in the later stages might have knowledge about matters involving these realms."

"I see," Lin Qing nodded, then congratulated Elder Gu, "Congratulations on your escape from captivity!"

A smile appeared on Elder Gu's face. Not only did he escape, but his cultivation also reached the mid-stage of Nascent Soul. He even gained control over the unique attack methods of that demon. His physical body had unintentionally become stronger as well. As long as he recuperated properly after returning, he might even be able to contend with cultivators in the later stages of Nascent Soul.

"Indeed, surviving a great calamity brings great fortune," Elder Gu thought joyfully.

"By the way, show me the mirror you used earlier. If it weren't for that mirror temporarily restraining the demon, I wouldn't have had the chance to regain control of my body," Elder Gu said, thinking of something and looking at Lin Qing.

Hearing that Elder Gu wanted to see the Imprisoning God Mirror, Lin Qing didn't hesitate and took it out.

Facing Elder Gu's presence, he couldn't say a word of refusal. However, judging from Elder Gu's expression, it seemed that he was just curious to take a look.

Indeed, after examining the mirror for a while, Elder Gu returned it to Lin Qing. Although this treasure that could imprison divine consciousness was rare, Lin Qing had saved him, so he couldn't bring himself to kill for the sake of treasure.

Having seen the treasure, Elder Gu was about to leave. Firstly, he needed to inform the Duobao Trading Company about his experiences in the past three years. Secondly, there was the matter of the spatial rift. Such rifts were extremely rare in Zhongzhou, and encountering one was unusual. Perhaps something else had happened that he was unaware of, so he needed to hurry back.

"You are not a member of our Duobao Trading Company. What benefits did you gain from coming to find me?" Before leaving, Elder Gu asked Lin Qing, seemingly thinking of something.

Upon hearing the question, Lin Qing immediately took out the Three Yang Water from his storage bag and said, "Senior, the Duobao Trading Company promised to give you a portion of Three Yang Water."

"Oh? That's quite generous," Elder Gu seemed somewhat surprised. A smile appeared on his face.

Lin Qing could understand. After all, anyone would be delighted to know that their backing was willing to pay a high price to seek help after their own defeat.

Looking at the Three Yang Water that Lin Qing took out, Elder Gu suddenly reached out and took a few more storage bags from his robe. These were the storage bags and treasures he had obtained from the fallen cultivators on Cangshan Mountain after his recovery. Lin Qing didn't dare to say anything about it. Although he knew that the storage bags of those cultivators contained valuable items, it would be extremely unwise to compete with a Nascent Soul cultivator for them.

Casually taking out one storage bag, Elder Gu found the same Three Yang Water as Lin Qing had in his hand. However, after just a glance, he frowned and said, "This Three Yang Water is mixed with other substances. It won't be beneficial if consumed."

"Elder, we are aware of this. Originally, the plan was to complete the mission and obtain spiritual medicine to eliminate this hidden danger," Lin Qing explained.

At this moment, Elder Gu seemed to think of something. He stretched out his hand towards Lin Qing and took the Three Yang Water from his hand. Then, he took out something from his own storage bag and said, "You don't need to trouble yourself by going back. I will solve the future problems caused by this Three Yang Water for you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing felt delighted. "Thank you, Elder."

Before long, Elder Gu threw two bottles of San Yang Water in front of Lin Qing. Lin Qing asked excitedly, "Elder, what is this?"

Elder Gu didn't explain much. By this time, he was already flying in mid-air and said, "I'll give you an extra bottle. I hope you can successfully advance."

Lin Qing took the San Yang Water and looked at the disappearing Elder Gu with joy on his face.

However, he hesitated a bit. Although Elder Gu didn't seem like someone who would do something suspicious, what if there was a problem with the San Yang Water?

With this thought, Lin Qing became hesitant.

After thinking for a while, Lin Qing decided to keep the San Yang Water for now. He would deal with this matter later, as he was about to leave this place.

But before leaving, Lin Qing looked at the valley where the mist had completely dissipated and sighed.

"Cangshan, Xueyou, the couple Xiaoyao, may you all rest in peace."

Soon after, on the ground in the valley, Lin Qing looked at three raised mounds and said with a heavy expression, especially for Cangshan. Lin Qing felt a sense of attachment. As for the couple Xiaoyao, they were buried together.

After watching for a while, Lin Qing flew away.

The reason why he gathered and buried the bodies of these four people was because he couldn't bear it in his heart. At the same time, he also felt a sense of sorrow. If it weren't for the unexpected recovery of Elder Gu's self-awareness through the Imprisoning Mirror, he might have ended up like these four people, or even worse.

"Huh, where did that demon go? Did Elder Gu devour it?"

Suddenly, Lin Qing, who had already flown above Tongling Mountain, thought of this. Although Elder Gu had regained control of his body, it was unlikely that the demon would be easily devoured.

Regarding this, Lin Qing couldn't come up with an answer and didn't think about it further. Even if the sky were to collapse, there would still be someone to hold it up.

After leaving Tongling Mountain, Lin Qing flew directly towards Guchuan County. It was the location of the Huang family, and he hadn't forgotten about the Ice Soul Immortal Technique.

Because it was closer to the center of Zhongzhou, Guchuan County not only had more abundant spiritual energy, but also richer cultivation resources compared to Yuyang County and Zishan County.

As soon as he set foot in Guchuan County, various cultivation markets came into view, and Foundation Building cultivators occasionally passed by in the sky. Lin Qing stopped at a large market on the way, wanting to learn more about the Huang family.

However, before learning about the situation, Lin Qing entered the auction house of this large market called Jiuxian Market.

Although Jiuxian Market was called a market, its scale and area were more than three times larger than Chiyang Immortal City. It was not only built on a fourth-grade top-quality spiritual vein, but also had all kinds of buildings. There were three auction houses alone.

Lin Qing entered the one called Treasure Pavilion. As for why he came in, it was because he wanted to have the San Yang Water appraised.

Better safe than sorry. If Elder Gu had mixed something in the San Yang Water without his knowledge, it would be like digging a pit for himself. So, he decided to have an experienced appraiser identify it to put his mind at ease.
