I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 79: The Wu Family of Yan Kingdom

The formation was destroyed, and Lin Qing looked at the cemetery with some hesitation.

This place seemed more like someone else's cemetery rather than a stroke of luck. If he continued, wouldn't he be just like a tomb raider?

"Dad, let's dig. There must be good things inside," Lin Xuzhe said.

Lin Qing nodded. They had already come this far, so it was impossible to leave. But looking at the cemetery, Lin Qing said, "We will dig, but remember that we came here to find immortal treasures. Don't throw the excavated bones around. They should be returned to their original positions."

"Dad, don't worry," Lin Xuzhe said.

After that, Lin Qing and his family started digging in this cemetery. It was impossible for every tomb in the Zhao Kingdom cemetery to contain good things, but this cemetery should be different since it was protected by a formation.

However, after digging for a while, Lin Qing and his family were somewhat disappointed. It seemed to be an ordinary cemetery for mortals.

They dug for two consecutive days, and the cemetery was dug up halfway. Apart from Lin Qing and his family acquiring some skills in prying open coffins, they had no other gains.

"Dad, should we continue digging?" Lin Xuzhe asked.

"Keep digging!"

As the saying goes, since they had come, they should go all the way to the top of the mountain. They couldn't give up halfway through digging up graves.

Lin Qing had also used his divine sense to investigate, but everything in this cemetery was lifeless, and he couldn't detect anything. He could only dig open and check.

On the third day of digging, Lin Qing suddenly felt a movement in his divine sense and looked towards a grave that Lin Xuqing was digging.

Compared to when they arrived, Lin Xuqing had been digging spirit stones and graves for the past few days, and he seemed a bit weathered. But Lin Qing felt that he was the most enthusiastic digger.

"Xuqing, stop digging for now," Lin Qing said.

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Lin Xuqing immediately stopped, and Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuyuan also looked at the grave Lin Xuqing was digging.

Lin Qing approached the grave Lin Xuqing was digging and asked him to step back slowly. Then, he took out his magical tool. Lin Qing felt that this grave suddenly had a presence, not human, but more like a wild beast.

Soon, this presence grew stronger, and even Lin Xuzhe and the others could feel it. However, this presence was at most a first-grade high-level demonic beast, not a cause for concern.

What puzzled Lin Qing was why he couldn't detect it with his divine sense earlier. Could it have been dormant?

"Ribbit!"

"Ribbit!"

Gradually, the sound of a demonic beast came from the soil. Lin Qing recognized it as a toad.

This kind of demonic beast was generally highly poisonous, even if it was only a first-grade high-level one, one had to be careful. Lin Qing himself took a step back.

With the sound, the soil kept loosening, and then a toad's mouth the size of a human head emerged from the ground. No, it was a toad's mouth holding a human head, or rather, a skeleton. When it saw Lin Qing, the toad showed a human-like expression of surprise and tried to escape, but Lin Qing immediately trapped it with a formation.

This toad, Lin Qing didn't rush to kill.

Seeing the toad easily taken down by Lin Qing, Lin Xuzhe and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They took a few glances at the toad and Lin Xuqing continued to dig. This time, they really dug up something good.

Inside was a crystal-clear skeleton, which Lin Qing could tell was a Qi Refining ninth level skeleton. He had seen this kind of bone in the Xuan Yu black market before. It was said to have the effect of improving cultivation, but Lin Qing didn't believe in such things.

The blood of a Gold Core expert was said to be a treasure, but that was Gold Core stage. What was a Qi Refining stage?

This skeleton had no head and was still in the mouth of the trapped toad. Lin Qing didn't pay attention to it. Beside this skeleton was a storage bag, which Lin Xuqing picked up and handed to Lin Qing. Lin Qing took a look and found that there were only a few spirit stones inside, as well as a large number of books.

A rough look at these books revealed that they were mostly cultivation techniques and spells for the Qi Refining stage.

Next to the books was a letter, with the words "To the descendants of the Wu family" written on the envelope. Lin Qing opened it directly and started reading.

After reading it, he understood.

It turned out that this person was a disciple of the Wu family, a Foundation Building family in the Yan Kingdom a hundred years ago. The Yan Kingdom was located west of the Zhao Kingdom, and this family had a history of more than five hundred years. However, a hundred years ago, they suffered a disaster. All the cultivators in the family were killed, and the remaining mortals fled separately. This person carried the family's collection of books and abandoned his cultivation, blending in with the mortals of the family in order to escape.

Later, he came all the way to this mountain forest in the Zhao Kingdom and realized that it was extraordinary. After re-cultivating, he regained some of his cultivation. Then, relying on a magical tool, he successfully contacted an elder of the Foundation Building stage in the family who was outside. After learning about the situation of the family, the elder was furious. After setting up a defensive formation for them, he planned to seek revenge. It could take as short as half a year or as long as three years for them to wait here.

This elder of the Foundation Building stage was in the later stage of Foundation Building and had many connections. He came to the Zhao Kingdom for some business this time, but he didn't expect the family to be quietly resolved.

After this elder of the Foundation Building stage left, the cultivator stationed here thought that with the help of the family elder, rebuilding the family was not a big problem. He just needed to wait here.

However, this wait lasted for decades. During this period, because no one dared to leave without the original message, and they were unfamiliar with the Zhao Kingdom, they didn't dare to move forward with the large number of family books. They couldn't go back to the Yan Kingdom either. Over time, the environment in this mountain forest became harsh, and the mortals gradually died. This person buried all these mortals in the formation one by one. Then, fifty years ago, when he was about to die, he wrote this letter and buried himself in the grave, waiting for the descendants of the Wu family to come and identify the body.

As for this toad, it was the spiritual beast of the Foundation Building stage cultivator back then, deliberately left behind for protection.

It was said that this toad was a spiritual beast in the early stage of Foundation Building. After all the mortals of the Wu family died here, it buried the cultivator and then entered the tomb to hibernate. It didn't know how many years had passed during this wait.

It was only when Lin Qing and his group arrived that it was disturbed. Due to not eating or drinking for so many years, its strength had already fallen to the late stage of Qi Refining, and it was easily taken down by Lin Qing.

"Dad, I've never heard of the Wu family. How did that cultivator know about this place?" Lin Xuzhe and the others finished reading the letter, and Lin Xuyuan asked. The map was found in the storage bag of the Qi Refining ninth level cultivator.

Lin Qing shook his head. Perhaps he was a descendant of the Wu family, or perhaps he discovered this place through other means. No one knew.

After looking at this cemetery, Lin Qing felt not only a bit emotional but also very happy. If what this person said was true, the gains this time were truly enormous.

Spirit stones were easy to come by, but inheritances were hard to find.

Obtaining the formation inheritance of the Zhao family could be said to have saved Lin Qing many years of detours in formations. And here was the inheritance of an entire family, with cultivation techniques and spells that were rare resources. Although most of them were for the Qi Refining stage, there were quite a few books for the Foundation Building stage, which would save the entire family many years of detours.

"Dad, our Lin family is going to prosper now." Lin Xuzhe and his brothers easily understood this point and said happily.

Lin Qing nodded and then said, "You're right. This is the foundation of our family. Not only can you use it now, but in the future, when you get married and have children, these cultivation techniques will be of great help. However, we have to be careful. The force that destroyed the Wu family back then even wiped out the Foundation Building stage. It's not simple."

"Dad, what are we afraid of now that we're in the Zhao Kingdom? Besides, it's been so many years already." Lin Xuyuan said.
