I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 443: Demon Realm and Demon Path

Just as described in the jade slip, there is no doubt that this is the Infant Transformation Pill.

Holding the wooden box, Lin Qing put the jade slip back in his hand. Facing Senior Baishan, he respectfully bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior, for your great kindness. I will never forget it."

Senior Baishan smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

At this moment, Lin Qing turned his head to look at Fellow Daoist Hua. He took out a pill from the wooden box and said gratefully, "I also thank Fellow Daoist for his help. I hope Fellow Daoist will accept this pill."

"How can this be?" Fellow Daoist Hua quickly waved his hand.

"Fellow Daoist is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. It is also extremely difficult to gather the materials for this pill. How can I take Fellow Daoist's pill?" Fellow Daoist Hua said.

Lin Qing shook his head and smiled, "Fellow Daoist, please take it. There are three pills in this box, not just one. Moreover, Fellow Daoist has helped me a lot. Whether it was the city back then or alchemy now, I have always remembered it. If I don't take it, I won't feel at ease. Fellow Daoist, please take it!"

Lin Qing handed the pill to Fellow Daoist Hua, who hesitated for a moment.

"How can I be at ease with this? Meeting Fellow Daoist again and helping me just now, I must help in return. If I take Fellow Daoist's pill, wouldn't it be for personal gain? I can't take it." Fellow Daoist Hua still refused.

Hearing Fellow Daoist Hua's words, Lin Qing also felt a bit helpless for a moment. Fellow Daoist Hua was not like those hypocritical people. He really didn't want to take it.

Helplessly, Lin Qing looked at Senior Baishan.

Senior Baishan had been watching the two of them all along. At this moment, he smiled slightly and said to Fellow Daoist Hua, "Disciple, please take it. You are also about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. This pill is very suitable for you."

After being persuaded by his master, Fellow Daoist Hua reluctantly took the pill.

Senior Baishan suddenly thought of something and handed something to Lin Qing, saying, "I will give you something else. This is a Seven-Holed Lotus Seed. If you take it with the Infant Transformation Pill, it should increase your pill's efficacy by thirty percent."

"Hmm?" Lin Qing was instantly extremely surprised. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing. At the same time, he was also delighted. If he had this item, wouldn't his chances of successfully forming his Infant Transformation be seventy percent?

He wanted to decline, but when he saw Fellow Daoist Hua's gaze beside him, Lin Qing didn't say much and put away the Seven-Holed Lotus Seed.

Fellow Daoist Hua nodded in response.

Suddenly, Fellow Daoist Hua thought of the matter Lin Qing had mentioned earlier about Yunzhou. He looked at Senior Baishan and asked, "Master, I still have a question in my mind. I would like to ask Master to clarify."

"Speak, what is your question?" Senior Baishan was a little surprised. His disciple rarely took the initiative to trouble him.

"Master, you already knew that I came from Yunzhou, and this Lin Fellow Daoist is also from Yunzhou. Many things have happened in Yunzhou during the years I was away, including Cangzhou..." Fellow Daoist Hua actually briefly recounted what Lin Qing had said to him earlier, and finally asked why Zhongzhou would interfere.

"This..." Senior Baishan hesitated for a moment after listening to Fellow Daoist Hua's question. However, looking at Fellow Daoist Hua and Lin Qing, he still spoke, "You are both about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. This matter can be told."

Upon hearing these words, Master Hua and Lin Qing both perked up their ears. This was all quite secretive.

"In fact, whether it's the conflict between the righteous and demonic forces in Cangzhou, or the subsequent mediation, it is all related to the demon realm. You may not know much about the demon realm, but you can think of it as a boundary that poses a constant threat to our cultivation world, always seeking to invade. There was an invasion attempt thousands of years ago, but it was unsuccessful. However, there are now signs of another invasion."

"Ah!" Master Hua exclaimed.

"Short-term, it could be a hundred years, long-term, it could be several hundred years. The demon realm will invade our cultivation world again. That's why various forces are constantly consolidating their strength to resist the demon realm. Besides the Central Province, the other eight provinces are also experiencing changes. You just don't know about it. As for why there is mediation, it is to prevent excessive fighting among the provinces and avoid weakening our cultivation world."

"But the ones occupying Cangzhou are the demonic cultivators. Shouldn't they be welcomed by the demon realm? Why do they still need to consolidate their power? Are they not able to resist?" Master Hua asked. This was also Lin Qing's confusion. He had heard that many demonic cultivation techniques were derived from the demon realm, so logically, the demon realm invasion should be welcomed.

"Haha." Old Bai Shan shook his head and smiled.

"The demon realm and demonic cultivation are not the same thing. Every creature in the demon realm is tainted with demonic energy, they are a different species. As for demonic cultivation in our cultivation world, it is just some people who practice demonic techniques from the demon realm in order to cultivate quickly. The two are not the same. Furthermore, if the demon realm were to occupy our cultivation world, they would turn everyone into demons, which would mean being controlled by others. How could those demonic cultivators be willing?"

"I see." Master Hua nodded.

"In fact, you will gradually come to know about these things after you break through to the Nascent Soul stage. I'm just informing you in advance." Old Bai Shan added.

At this moment, Lin Qing thought of the previous incident at the Tongling Mountain and boldly asked, "Senior Bai Shan, is the invasion of the demon realm through spatial rifts?"

"Hmm? How do you know?" Old Bai Shan looked at Lin Qing strangely.

"Senior, I have seen it in another county before."

"Oh."

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Old Bai Shan seemed to have realized something and shook his head, "In that case, the invasion of the demon realm may be faster than imagined. However, there is no need to worry. Although the demon realm is powerful, their strength will be limited when they come here. At most, they can only reach the Soul Formation stage. Our cultivation world is currently at its peak in thousands of years, so there shouldn't be a problem."

After Old Bai Shan finished speaking, Master Hua and Lin Qing both showed a hint of joy. This was the best news they could hope for.

After saying this, Master Hua bid farewell, "Master, we will take our leave now."

"Hmm."

Old Bai Shan nodded, and then Master Hua and Lin Qing left.

This time, Lin Qing did not return to the residence that Master Hua had arranged for him in the past few days. Instead, he wanted to leave directly. Master Hua was a little reluctant, "Fellow Daoist, my master didn't say anything. Why not stay a few more days?"

"Thank you for your kind offer, Fellow Daoist Hua, but I dare not continue to stay without the permission of Senior Bai Shan. Besides, I still need to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. I have collected enough treasures, and now I need to adjust my state and try to break through again," Lin Qing replied.

Upon hearing that Lin Qing wanted to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, Master Hua did not try to persuade him any further. Instead, he said, "I hope that when we meet again, Fellow Daoist will already be a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"Hahaha, who knows, Fellow Daoist might be even faster than me," Lin Qing laughed and said.

After that, the two parted ways at the entrance of the estate. Master Hua couldn't casually leave the estate due to various matters. Watching Lin Qing's figure recede into the distance, Master Hua touched the Foundation Establishment Pill that Lin Qing had given him and let out a sigh, but then his eyes regained determination.
