I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 83: Wujiafang

"Master Lin, please come in quickly." The cultivators of Wujiafang were particularly welcoming towards Lin Qing.

Lin Qing was not only a formation master, but also a cultivator at the Foundation Building stage. Having a good relationship with such a person was beneficial to their market.

In the market, instead of rushing to set up formations, Lin Qing was invited to a banquet first. He had attended many banquets like this before. Usually, there would be beautiful women dancing first, followed by the serving of food. After that, everyone would eat, drink, laugh, and have fun. They would toast each other before considering the banquet over. A banquet like this would last at least an hour, or even two hours, wasting some time.

But Lin Qing did not refuse to participate. Wherever he went, he naturally responded with a smile to others' hospitality.

After all, from Lin Qing's perspective, if he invited someone to a banquet and they didn't show up for no reason, he would feel uncomfortable too.

Noon arrived, and the banquet ended in the afternoon. Today, they naturally couldn't set up formations and had to wait until tomorrow. Lin Qing took advantage of this time to take a look around Wujiafang. The size of this market was similar to the expanded Qingmuji, but it was built on a first-grade medium-quality spiritual vein. Many Qi Refining loose cultivators came here, so the market was usually quite lively.

Lin Qing looked at the shops in the market, but there was nothing particularly special. However, in the market, he had become the special one.

The Foundation Building stage was a realm that many Qi Refining cultivators dreamed of.

Perhaps in the sect, Foundation Building cultivators were taught to Qi Refining cultivators on a daily basis. But for a group of Qi Refining loose cultivators, it was rare to see a Foundation Building cultivator, let alone one who was also a master of formations.

Wherever Lin Qing went, it became crowded. However, Wujiafang did not stop them. For them, it was a rare opportunity for Lin Qing to make this trip willingly.

After seeing Lin Qing, these loose cultivators were satisfied with his dignified appearance and extraordinary temperament, and they all went back contentedly.

In the eyes of these loose cultivators, a Foundation Building cultivator should be like this.

They didn't know that they had encountered Lin Qing. If they had encountered some Foundation Building cultivators who were of varying heights and sizes, they would probably have been greatly disappointed.

While Lin Qing was walking around, the cultivators of Wujiafang were also puzzled, not understanding why Lin Qing was wandering around. If he wanted to set up formations, he could have checked tomorrow. Why did he have to take a look after eating?

What they didn't know was that Lin Qing had a thought in his mind at this moment.

That is, to open a branch here.

Now, not only him, but also Li Qingyu and Lin Xuchang in his family were skilled in formation-making. Especially Lin Xuchang, who not only improved rapidly in formation-making, but also had a fast speed. The formation shop he opened in Chiyang Immortal City was almost sold out.

It would be great if he could open a branch here. Some low-level formations that were difficult to sell in Chiyang Immortal City could be sold here, and the sales volume should be good.

As for why he didn't open a branch in Xuan Yu Fang or in the Purple and Green Fangs controlled by Qingfeng Sect and Xianxia Sect, it was simply because they were too far away. This Wujiafang was only a thousand miles away from Chiyang Immortal City, and they could take care of it on a regular basis.

However, Lin Qing did not rush to say anything.

Five days later, Lin Qing set up a formation here. After testing it, the cultivators of Wujiafang were very satisfied.

Two thousand spirit stones were successfully credited to his account, and after deducting the materials, he could earn about one thousand spirit stones. With this formation, Lin Qing had earned quite a bit in the past two years. On average, he earned about six to seven thousand spirit stones a year.

It is incomparable to the past.

After setting up the formation, there was a banquet. Lin Qing still attended, and during the banquet, Lin Qing mentioned the plan to set up a formation. The cultivators from Wujiafang were extremely welcoming and considered it an honor for a formation master like Lin Qing to open a shop in their district. They even offered to waive the rent on the spot.

However, Lin Qing declined. After all, when doing business, one should pay what is due. But Wujiafang still found a three-room shop for Lin Qing and offered a highly discounted rent.

Back in Chiyang Immortal City, Lin Qing made arrangements and prepared the formation, as well as recruited cultivators.

As for this branch, Lin Qing naturally wouldn't go, and Lin Xuchang was reluctant to go as well. He wanted to recruit a cultivator to go instead. After all, this shop only sold finished products, which ordinary cultivators could handle as long as they didn't have any ulterior motives. However, when it came to mortals, they were not enough.

As for the compensation, Lin Qing offered a condition of fifty spirit stones per year.

This condition was not very tempting for those in the later stage of Qi Refining, but for those in the middle stage of Qi Refining, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack. After all, this was not a dangerous task, and the work was easy. Although it was not in Chiyang Immortal City, it was not far away. The most important thing was that they would be working for Lin, a master of formations. Receiving a stable income of fifty spirit stones per year from Lin was excellent in all aspects.

After a day of recruitment, Lin Qing selected a couple in the Qi Refining stage. The husband was in the middle stage of Qi Refining, while the wife was in the low stage of Qi Refining.

Firstly, Lin Qing valued the steadiness of this couple, and secondly, they had a child, so Lin Qing took care of them as well.

"Thank you, Senior Lin."

The couple was naturally grateful for being chosen by Lin Qing and immediately kowtowed to express their gratitude. Lin Qing smiled and asked them to get up, then explained some matters to them, which the couple listened to attentively.

Afterwards, Lin Qing personally escorted them to Wujiafang. As for what would happen next, they would have to come to Chiyang Immortal City themselves to receive the formation.

However, Lin Qing gave them life-saving talismans, which carried little risk.

After opening, this shop mainly sold first-grade and second-grade formations. It would bring Lin Qing hundreds of spirit stones in income over the course of a year. Although it wasn't much, who would complain about having too few spirit stones? Moreover, they were able to sell the accumulated formations.

"Dad, someone else has come to seek refuge."

After returning from Wujiafang to their home in Chiyang Immortal City, Lin Xuchang said to Lin Qing.

Ever since Lin Qing reached the Foundation Building stage, there had been scattered cultivators who wanted to seek refuge with him from time to time. This behavior was not uncommon in the mortal world. For example, when a scholar passed the imperial examination, there would be people from impoverished families seeking refuge. Although they would become servants in the future, it was still better than being alone. The saying "the master's dog is better than the master" applied here. In the cultivation world, this behavior became scattered Qi Refining cultivators seeking refuge with Foundation Building cultivators. If they succeeded, it would be better than being alone.

Even Foundation Building cultivators had people seeking refuge with them, usually joining a sect, and the sects did not reject them.

This was a rule derived from the principle that strength is respected.

When Lin Qing first reached the Foundation Building stage, there were many scattered cultivators who wanted to seek refuge with him, but he didn't accept any of them. He had a son, so what use did he have for these scattered cultivators? However, now that he had opened this branch, Lin Qing felt that it might not be a bad idea to accept these scattered cultivators.

A hero needs three helpers, and although he was a Foundation Building cultivator, he still needed assistance.

However, after thinking it over, Lin Qing still refused. Seeking refuge was one thing, but he hadn't reached the point where he needed people that badly. With his current strength, having so many scattered cultivators might not be helpful and could even cause trouble. It was not too late to consider it in the future, especially since he didn't know what these scattered cultivators had done in the past. Lin Qing was cautious in this regard.
