I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 440: Reunion with Fellow Daoist Hua

"It's rare to see these ten surnames," Lin Qing said again.

"In this vast world, there is nothing that is not strange. This is normal," Fellow Daoist Wang said nonchalantly. Seeing this, Lin Qing didn't say anything further.

The place where Elder Baishan lived was a mansion in the city. Due to his skill in alchemy, the mansion was filled with a large number of precious spiritual herbs. However, under the power of Elder Baishan, no one dared to steal or do anything else. Even other Nascent Soul stage cultivators had to come in person to exchange for certain spiritual herbs.

Before reaching the entrance of the mansion, Fellow Daoist Wang and Lin Qing got off the carriage.

"Fellow Daoist, although there is still a distance to go, let's walk to show respect," Fellow Daoist Wang said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing did not object and followed along.

Elder Baishan's mansion not only had many spiritual herbs, but it was also extremely large. Although it was located in the Central Holy City, it was almost the size of a small city.

The mansion's gate was three zhang wide and five zhang tall. Just as they arrived at the gate, Fellow Daoist Wang took out a talisman.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. I will send a message to the ten Fellow Daoists," Fellow Daoist Wang said.

Lin Qing nodded and watched as Fellow Daoist Wang spoke something to the talisman. He felt a surge of excitement and secretly placed the blood jade wishful treasure in his sleeve.

After a few words, the talisman in Fellow Daoist Wang's hand suddenly turned into a ball of fire and disappeared.

Next, Lin Qing and Fellow Daoist Wang patiently waited. However, they didn't have to wait long. The side door next to the main gate slowly opened, and before the person came out, his voice could be heard.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Wang. It has been many days since we last met. I wonder what brings you here?" the person said. He was at the late Gold Core stage, and he smiled at Fellow Daoist Wang before looking at Lin Qing.

But...

Upon seeing him, both the ten Fellow Daoists and Lin Qing himself showed an extremely surprised and joyful expression.

"Master Lin!"

"Lord Hua!"

Almost simultaneously, both of them exclaimed in surprise and joy. Lord Hua's expression was particularly joyful.

What Lin Qing didn't expect was that this ten Fellow Daoist was actually Lord Hua, the Lord of Chiyang Immortal City who had disappeared without a trace years ago. For some unknown reason, he had come to the Central Holy City in Zhongzhou and became a disciple of Elder Baishan. His cultivation had even reached the late Gold Core stage, almost reaching completion.

He and Lord Huacheng have always had a good relationship, so it's no wonder that he is so happy to see him in such a place.

And Lord Huacheng is the same, looking at Lin Qing with an unbelieving expression. Lin Qing's appearance has not changed at all over the years because he has been taking the Resplendent Youth Pill. Lord Huacheng, looking at his appearance, is reminded of many past events and becomes overjoyed.

"Do you know each other?"

The fellow cultivator Wang looks at the two of them with great surprise.

Lin Qing is overjoyed and turns to Wang, clasping his hands together and saying, "Thank you, fellow cultivator, for showing us the way. We do indeed know each other, so you don't need to trouble yourself any further."

"That's good, but the spirit stones from before won't be refunded." Wang still remembers his spirit stones.

Lin Qing doesn't mind. Seeing how excited Lin Qing and Lord Huacheng are to meet each other for the first time, Wang doesn't stay long and leaves immediately.

Afterwards, Lord Huacheng invites Lin Qing into the estate, and the two of them sit in a tea room.

"Master Lin, how did you come here? And how do you know that fellow cultivator Wang? I really can't imagine," Lord Huacheng can't wait to ask as soon as they sit down.

Lin Qing is also surprised and says, "My story is simple, but as for the fellow cultivator, I never expected him to come here. To be honest, ever since the fellow cultivator left without returning, I have been worried about his safety. I never thought that he would become so powerful and have such good fortune. Truly, good people have their own blessings."

"Hahaha." Lord Huacheng laughs, and for a moment, he is both excited and emotional as he looks at Lin Qing.

But both of them are Gold Core cultivators, so their emotions calm down quickly. Lord Huacheng starts talking about his experiences: "After I left a message and left, I headed directly towards Yan Country. My plan was simple: to travel through Upper Cloud State, Middle Cloud State, and Lower Cloud State. If I encountered any danger along the way, I would just go with the flow, even if it meant dying. But I never expected that I would be surprisingly successful. I traveled through the entire Cloud State and even broke through my cultivation level. My previous melancholy has also eased a lot."

"That's great news. But how did the fellow cultivator end up in Central State?" Lin Qing is even more puzzled. It took him a lot of effort to come to Central State with his perfect Gold Core cultivation level. Lord Huacheng would never have come to Central State back then, and the old man Bai Shan wouldn't have coincidentally gone to Cloud State either.

Hearing Lin Qing ask this, Lord Huacheng shows a pleased expression. "To be honest, I am still amazed by this. After successfully traveling through Cloud State, I decided to find a place in Middle Cloud State to continue cultivating or spend the rest of my life there. But when I reached Lower Cloud State, I went to the seaside to see the ocean. As a result, I encountered a Gold Core demonic beast."

"A Gold Core demonic beast?" Lin Qing is also shocked. If an ordinary cultivator encountered one, it would be more likely to end in tragedy than good fortune.

Lord Huacheng's joy becomes even stronger. "That Gold Core demonic beast turned out to be a giant whale. It swallowed me in one gulp, and no matter how I resisted, I couldn't escape. But what surprised me was that I didn't die. Instead, I obtained an opportunity. Inside the belly of that whale, I discovered a treasure that could repel water. With its help, I was able to avoid being digested by the whale. After swallowing me, the whale didn't pay any attention to me anymore. I don't know how many years I spent inside its belly, but I continued to cultivate until I reached the peak of the Violet Palace stage."

Lin Qing takes a deep breath. It seems that Lord Huacheng is a person with great opportunities. Being swallowed by a Gold Core whale and still being able to cultivate inside its belly is truly extraordinary.

"What happened after that? Did the whale come to Central State?" Lin Qing asks again.

"Yes," Lord Huacheng nods. "After who knows how many years, that whale came to Central State. And then it's the story of me and my master, Old Man Bai Shan. At that time, my master happened to pass by the Endless Sea and discovered that whale. Coincidentally, he needed some materials from the whale, so he killed it and rescued me. When my master saw me inside the whale's belly, he was also extremely surprised. After learning about my experiences, he directly took me as his disciple, saying that we were destined to meet. I didn't refuse. After all, I had already broken through to the Violet Palace stage and had hopes of reaching the Gold Core stage. So I became his disciple, and later on, I changed my surname to Shi in this Central Holy City."

"I see. With your master's guidance, it shouldn't be difficult for you to break through to the Gold Core stage," Lin Qing says with a smile. He is happy for Lord Huacheng's good fortune. If anyone else had told him this story, he wouldn't have believed such a miraculous event could happen in the world.

I haven't been feeling well lately, so there will be two updates per day. Please understand.
