I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 8: Li Qingyu

It would take at least half a month for the magic sword to arrive. At this moment, Lin Qing thought about taking another wife, that is, the matter of taking a concubine. This was not only for Chao Yun, but also for his own cultivation.

Thinking about his Goldfinger, Lin Qing's heart became somewhat heated.

However, unlike when he married Chao Yun, with his current status and strength, he had a much wider range of choices.

Not to mention, female cultivators at the Qi Refining first and second levels were also worth considering. If he had said back then, with his cultivation, that he wanted to marry a Qi Refining female cultivator, it would have been a complete humiliation. That blind female cultivator would never marry a Qi Refining third level cultivator who was forty-six years old.

But now, not to mention his Qi Refining fourth level cultivation, just being a first-grade middle-ranking array master was enough qualification. It just depended on whether he wanted to marry or not.

And Lin Qing naturally wanted to marry.

As for how to marry and who to marry, he hadn't thought about it for a while.

The Qingmu Sect was still too small. There were only a hundred permanent cultivators, and although there were also external cultivators, there were no suitable ones for the time being.

But this kind of thing doesn't just come to you while sitting at home, so Lin Qing went to the neighboring Li Fellow Daoist's shop.

Li Fellow Daoist had been living here longer than him, so maybe he had some suggestions.

After hearing Lin Qing's intentions, Li Fellow Daoist immediately became excited. His eyes were like bloodshot light bulbs, glowing red.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, who can understand this kind of interest? It seems that you and I are kindred spirits. It's hard to find a confidant for this kind of thing, let alone a confidant like Fellow Daoist Lin. If you want to take a concubine, I must help you. Don't be like last time, not even giving me a cup of wedding wine." Li Fellow Daoist laughed heartily.

"Fellow Daoist Li, as long as you can help me find a suitable one, the wedding wine will definitely be plentiful." Lin Qing replied.

"Good, this matter is on me. I don't know what kind of person Fellow Daoist Lin wants, someone fierce? Gentle? Or... you know." Li Fellow Daoist laughed even more happily.

"Well," Lin Qing thought for a moment and said, "of course, she should be gentle, with a good temperament. And I'm just taking a concubine, not marrying a wife. I have a mortal wife at home, so that must be made clear."

"Don't worry, with Fellow Daoist Lin's current status, those female cultivators will be fighting over you, afraid of missing the opportunity."

"Fellow Daoist Li is joking." Lin Qing couldn't help but smile when he was infected by Li Fellow Daoist's smile.

But this matter was not as easy as Li Fellow Daoist made it out to be. Finding a mortal was easy, just pick one randomly. But finding a cultivator would take some time. After half a month, Lin Qing's magic sword had arrived, but there was still no news from Li Fellow Daoist.

But Lin Qing wasn't in a hurry. He allocated his time between cultivation, array formation, and sword practice, so he wasn't anxious.

However, what Lin Qing didn't expect was that after Chao Yun finished sewing two sets of clothes for the unborn child, she actually started sewing a new quilt. When he asked, he found out that it was for the future concubine. Seeing Chao Yun like this, Lin Qing felt a little uncomfortable.

And just as the first quilt was finished, Li Fellow Daoist had news.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, a female cultivator who came to sell materials at my place a few days ago is not bad. Her cultivation is only at the Qi Refining first level. I inquired and found out that she just arrived at our Qingmu Sect. She used to be a lone cultivator, and I don't know if she picked up a cultivation method to practice or obtained it through other means. In any case, she has no background. I heard she usually lives in the mortal gathering area. She looks to be around twenty, very suitable."

"But, is she willing?" Lin Qing asked Li Fellow Daoist.

"Hehe," Li Fellow Daoist chuckled, "of course she is willing. If she's not, I can persuade her. Besides, what qualifications does a Qi Refining first level cultivator have to refuse? It's her good fortune if she's willing to marry you. As long as you're willing, everything will be fine."

Upon hearing these words, Lin Qing suddenly felt a different kind of sensation. If he agreed, would he have to remarry? And to a Qi Refining cultivator at the first level, no less.

"Lin Fellow Daoist, you two should meet tomorrow," said Li Fellow Daoist.

Lin Qing nodded. At this point, he naturally had no objections.

"By the way, what is her name?" Lin Qing asked.

"She is called..." Li Fellow Daoist hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "It seems like her name is Li Qingyu or Li Qingyu. I can't quite remember. You can ask her for clarification."

"Alright," Lin Qing nodded.

The next day, Lin Qing sat in the room while Chao Yun went to the adjacent room. The table was filled with food, and as Lin Qing looked at the spread, he suddenly felt nervous. He was already forty-nine years old this year, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

However, he didn't have to wait long before a woman walked in from outside. She was at the Qi Refining first level, and Lin Qing stood up to greet her. This should be the person he was going to meet.

Looking at the woman, dressed in green clothes, slender figure, and a calm expression on her face, but inadvertently exuding a sense of vulnerability, Lin Qing was extremely satisfied at first sight.

Lin Qing invited the woman to sit down and asked the first prepared question, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist, how should I address you?"

"Lin Fellow Daoist, my name is Li Qingyu," Li Qingyu spoke up, and Lin Qing was even more satisfied.

"Do you know about my situation, Fellow Daoist Li?" Lin Qing asked again.

"Naturally, I know. Li Fellow Daoist told me before I came. Lin Fellow Daoist is a mid-grade Array Master at the first stage, and at the Qi Refining fourth level," Li Qingyu replied earnestly upon hearing Lin Qing's question.

"No," Lin Qing interrupted her, "What I mean is, I already have a wife at home, and you would only be a concubine."

"I am aware of that," Li Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

With that, there was a moment of silence.

Lin Qing quickly broke the silence. He took the initiative to ask about Li Qingyu's personal situation, and Li Qingyu answered all of Lin Qing's questions. Although the conversation seemed somewhat formal, Lin Qing quickly gained an understanding of Li Qingyu, and he would occasionally introduce his own situation to her.

According to Li Qingyu, she had been living in the mortal world until she was sixteen years old. In that year, she happened to obtain a cultivation technique from a distant relative, and she tried to cultivate it. Unexpectedly, after a year, she became a Qi Refining first level cultivator. However, her cultivation level did not increase afterwards. She thought that it might be because she needed spiritual stones, so she bid farewell to her family and went out to seek opportunities.

Two months ago, she arrived at Qingmu City and saw so many cultivators for the first time. After that, she also wanted to earn spiritual stones by hunting demonic beasts or excavating spiritual herbs like others. However, with her cultivation at the Qi Refining first level, she didn't dare to confront demonic beasts, and as for spiritual herbs, if they were so easy to find, how could she have a chance? A few days ago, she happened to find a spiritual herb and went to Li Fellow Daoist's shop to sell it, which led to her encounter with Lin Qing.

As for why she agreed to become Lin Qing's concubine, it was because in these short two months, she had realized the dangers of cultivation, especially how these dangers would be magnified for a young female cultivator like her.

She couldn't continue like this anymore. If she continued, she was afraid that she wouldn't achieve immortality and wouldn't live much longer. But she also didn't want to return to the mortal world.

Lin Qing could understand this kind of thinking. Immortality and the mortal world were two different realms. Once one cultivated immortality, the mortal world became like a home that could never be returned to.

One could yearn for it, one could pause, but one simply couldn't stay.
