I practice cultivation cautiously in a strange world

As the largest city in the southern continent, Liangyi City has a powerful Liangyi Sect and is well-ordered. Countless monks want to settle here, which makes the cost of living in the city high.

Yang Ziqing only has Qi training skills, so naturally he cannot live in the city. His home is in a village outside the city. It is a small courtyard where a family of five is crowded together.

Even such a small yard is a big burden for him.

Regardless of whether it is in the city or outside the city, all houses within the scope of the spiritual veins have to pay annual fees. However, the fees outside the city are relatively low, and the closer to the edge of the spiritual veins, the lower the fees. The free area is a place without spiritual veins. It is an area where mortals survive. Monks are not willing to go there unless they really can't survive.

As for going to areas outside the jurisdiction of the sect, without the protection of the Two Egis Sect, safety cannot be guaranteed.

"Senior, this is my room, please!"

Yang Ziqing brought Chen Lin into the yard and hurriedly opened the door of an independent house on the east side.

Then he explained: "In our family, only my father and I are monks. Neither my mother nor my siblings have spiritual roots. My father's cultivation level is only at the fourth level of Qi training. Ten years ago, he was injured by a monster while going out to collect spiritual medicine. If it’s inconvenient, I won’t let them disturb seniors.”

Chen Lin nodded and walked into the room.

He had investigated the situation of several Qi Practitioners he hired. He knew about this village and their family situation for a long time, so he was not surprised.

Although the other party likes to flatter others, he never abandons his family. He even sacrifices a lot to keep his family in this safe area. This shows that his character is still good. He plans to train the other party into a confidant and work for him in Liangyi City. .

He likes the management style and environment of this city very much, and intends to build a residence here. If his family cannot go to Zhongtian Continent for reunion in the future, he will settle here.

Moreover, the business atmosphere of this city is excellent. Various large commercial firms have stores here. He needs to find a few trustworthy people to help him collect materials. It is best to get another acacia and communicate with Luo Qinglan again. , determine the other party’s situation.

If it is really bad, then you should consider taking on this two-instrument mission.

"You don't have to think too much. In your case, there is no problem in successfully building the foundation."

Chen Lin put away his distracting thoughts, took out a Marrow Cleansing Pill and three Foundation Establishing Pills, handed them to the other party and said, "You can break through here on your own, I'll go see your family."

After saying that, he walked out.

With three Foundation Establishment Pills, plus the opponent's original one, there should be no problem in breaking through the Foundation Establishment Pill. If he can't break through, it can only be said that the opponent's opportunity has not come yet, and he will not continue to invest.

Yang Ziqing looked at the elixir in his hand as if in a dream.

No wonder his master didn't care about his foundation building. It turned out that there were so many foundation building pills and marrow cleansing pills. If he failed to build the foundation, he would probably have no value in existence.

Glancing at the rooms of his parents, siblings, he calmed down and swallowed the marrow-cleansing pill.

In another room.

Yang Ziqing's father was frightened and treated Chen Lin respectfully, accompanied by his wife and two children.

He knew that his son was working for a mysterious strong man recently. He had just made a guess when his son brought him into the yard with a respectful attitude. However, his son had no intention of introducing him, so he did not go out to ask. Now his son is here Before they came out of the room, this senior with unfathomable cultivation came to their room, not knowing what was going on.

"No need to be restrained, I just came over to check on your physical injuries."

Chen Lin glanced at a few people and smiled softly.

After saying that, he took out a water charm pill and handed it to Yang's father: "Your meridians were seriously damaged and the time was too long. Ordinary elixirs cannot take effect. This water charm pill is just right." , you use it!”

"this……"

Father Yang's eyes sparkled, but he didn't dare to pick it up.

The current condition is unknown. He is afraid that taking it will cause trouble to his son. Although he is very eager to recover, he can only hold back.

At this time, the little girl at the end suddenly said, "Master Immortal, what happened to my brother?"

"Shi'er must not be rude!"

When Father Yang saw his daughter speaking rashly, his expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly scolded him. Then he apologized to Chen Lin and said, "Senior, don't blame me. My daughter is just a mortal and doesn't know etiquette. I will definitely teach him a lesson."

Chen Lin glanced at the little girl. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was quite delicate and well-dressed.

After all, they are still the family of an immortal cultivator. Compared with other immortal cultivators, their life is much more difficult than that of ordinary mortal families. At least they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

"May I have your name?"

Chen Lin's eyes flashed with strange color and he asked.

"My, my name is Yang Zishi."

After being scolded by her father, the little girl knew that she had made a mistake. When she heard Chen Lin ask, she suddenly became panicked.

Chen Lin did not ask any more questions, but looked at Father Yang and said, "Yang Ziqing has recognized me as his master and is building the foundation now. Don't worry."

Then he ignored Yang's father's surprised expression and asked again: "Has there ever been a high-level monk in your ancestors of the Yang family?"

When he was looking at the little girl just now, he suddenly felt a fluctuation in the source of his talent. It was not a warning of danger, but the resonance of the same kind of energy. Although it was very weak, he still sensed it.

This kind of sensing ability only came after his talent advanced. If it were before, he wouldn't be able to discover it.

This shows that this little girl probably has innate abilities, but because she has no spiritual roots and cannot cultivate them, she has no ability to stimulate them, so she doesn't know it herself.

Logically speaking, anyone with innate abilities must have spiritual roots. He didn't know why this happened. He could only suspect that the person's ancestors had inherited the innate abilities.

Father Yang didn't know why, but he still spoke truthfully and said: "Reporting to the seniors, according to the genealogy records of the younger generations, there did appear high-level monks who reached the realm of refining the void, and they were the ancestors of our Yang family, but those were all ten thousand years ago. I don’t know if the genealogy records are accurate or not. Anyway, there are only two monks left in my family, me and my son. It’s not certain whether there will be another generation.”

Chen Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Can I see your family's genealogy?"

Father Yang was puzzled, but when he thought that the other party said that his son had recognized the other party as his master, and that his son was building a foundation, he did not dare to ask more questions, turned around and took out a box.

There is nothing shameful about the genealogy. Father Yang opened it directly and took out a thick book. It looked very new and did not look like something that had been passed down for a long time.

"The previous family trees are all in disrepair. I rewrote this a few years ago. Please take a look at it, seniors."

Chen Lin held it in his hand and looked directly at the first page.

Yang Qianxing!

The first page is the information about the ancestor of Lianxu, and there is even a simple portrait of a man from the world looking up at the sky. However, this family tree has been revised countless times, and the portrait has probably deviated from its original appearance. .

After looking at it for a while, he put together the family tree and returned it to Father Yang.

The above record is not very detailed, it just describes the majesty of this ancestor. As for the records of other ancestors of the family later, it is even simpler. Some only have one name, and no one with any innate abilities was seen.

"Okay, I'm just verifying some questions. Don't think too much. It will probably take a few hours for Yang Ziqing to break through the foundation building. You should use this water charm pill first. I can also help you sort it out."

Chen Lin handed the elixir to Yang's father again. Yang's father didn't dare to hesitate anymore and took it directly and swallowed it.

At this time, there was no objection whether he was suspicious or not. Even if it was poison, he had to take it. Otherwise, if he angered such a being, the lives of their family would not be saved.

Although the place where they live is within the protection scope of the Liangyi Sect, if a high-level monk wants to kill people, he has many means. This is not the city of Liangyi. To kill a few Qi-practicing monks and ordinary people with no background, there is no way Who will investigate carefully.

But as soon as the elixir entered his stomach, Father Yang knew that it was indeed a healing elixir, and the effect was very good. As soon as the medicine was released, his damaged meridians began to feel and slowly became more energetic.

"You don't need to guard here, just do whatever you have to do. If you are really worried, just go and guard outside Yang Ziqing's room, but don't disturb him."

Chen Lin glanced at the other three people who were full of worry and said casually.

After hearing this, the old woman immediately bowed and walked out. She peeked outside Yang Ziqing's room and saw that Yang Ziqing was indeed sitting cross-legged in a state of cultivation. Then she felt relieved and guarded the door. outside.

Yang Zishi and her brother Yang Zishan stayed beside their father, watching nervously.

Chen Lin sat with his eyes closed, as if he didn't want to pay attention to anything. In fact, he sensed Yang Zishi's innate aura and wanted to judge what innate abilities the other party had from the aura.

If it was that kind of useful talent, he could give it a try and find a way to make the other party a cultivator.

Without spiritual roots, you cannot practice. This was an iron rule in the lower realm, but in this upper realm, the cultivation civilization is prosperous, and there is no way to change it. There are even ways to let mortals give birth to spiritual roots, but at no cost. Low, if it is a talent that is of no use, it is not worth taking action.

Time passed little by little.

Night falls.

Chen Lin couldn't sense anything. The other party's talent was already weak, and it hadn't been activated yet. He couldn't tell what type it was just by looking at the breath, but it was definitely not the fate and luck type, nor the five elements yin and yang type.

Suddenly, a strong wave of energy emanated from Yang Ziqing's room, attracting the attention of Chen Lin and others.

Yang's father opened his eyes, and his eyes burst into light. He immediately stood up without caring about continuing to heal his wounds.

He is a monk in the middle stage of Qi training, so he naturally understands what such strong energy fluctuations mean. His son has succeeded in building the foundation!

With the birth of a foundation-building monk in my family, my status immediately becomes different, and with such a strong man, even if I become the other party's servant, it means that the family will prosper!

Brother and sister Yang Zishi didn't react at all. They were both mortals and couldn't feel the fluctuations in mana. They just felt a bit depressed suddenly and their breathing was not so smooth.

"Not bad, faster than expected."

Chen Lin spoke calmly and then walked out first.

At this moment, Yang Ziqing also walked out of the room and saw his mother guarding the door. She was unconscious due to the energy fluctuations he released, and hurriedly stepped forward to check.

Then, he handed his mother over to his father who came out later. After learning that Chen Lin had used elixirs to treat his injuries, he immediately came to Chen Lin and knelt down on one knee.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master. Yang Ziqing swears to follow you forever. If there is any betrayal, your soul will be destroyed!"

Although this was just a vow, Chen Lin felt sincerity from the other party's tone.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Any oaths and contracts are not really useful.

"Well, since you have become a foundation-building monk, you will be the leader of the rest of you from now on. You don't have to take turns guarding the mission hall. I have other things for you to do."

Chen Lin looked at the other party, nodded and spoke.

Seeing the other party take out the elixir bottle, he waved his hand and said: "You can keep the rest, but you should be low-key and don't show off. You don't need to venture into the wild to obtain resources. If you need anything, just tell me directly. , if you don’t have any skills, go to my cave tomorrow and I will choose one for you.”

Chen Lin conveyed the location of the cave and his name to the other party, and then disappeared.

It took a long time for Yang Ziqing to react, and he suppressed his joy and stood up from the ground. Then he came to his mother's side and found that her mother had woken up.

Yang's father glanced at Yang Zishan and said, "You can help your mother go back to rest. You two will come with me."

After bringing Yang Ziqing and Yang Zishi into the room, he looked at Yang Ziqing and said, "What is the origin of this senior? Is he a member of the Liang Yi Sect? What is his specific cultivation level?"

Yang Ziqing knew that his father would definitely ask, but he didn't understand why he called his sister. She was a mortal and never participated in the affairs between their father and son.

Although he was confused, he still replied: "It's not from the Liang Yi Sect, but a foreign monk. I met it by chance a year ago. Now I have signed a soul contract to be the master. I can't change it anymore, and I am willing to do so." .”

When Father Yang heard that the contract was a soul contract, he fell silent.

The soul contract still needs to be solved, and once the soul contract is signed, unless the other party takes the initiative to cancel it, they have no power to resist.

At this time, Yang Ziqing continued: "As for the master's cultivation level, he should be at the Nascent Soul stage. I don't know the details. I will go to see him tomorrow and I should be able to learn more."

Father Yang nodded and said: "Now that the deal is done, you should maintain this relationship well. This senior is generous and does not seem to be a sinister person. It is an opportunity for you. Now that you have successfully established the foundation, There may be a chance to form pills in the future, and then my Yang family will really turn around!"

After speaking, he looked at his daughter and said, "When the senior was in the room just now, he seemed to be paying special attention to your sister. Do you think he had any ideas?"

This is the first update today. I am lazy during the Chinese New Year.
