I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 20: The Decision in the Heart

In the midst of speaking, the cultivator suddenly used his sword technique and stabbed the neck of the wild boar spirit.

As a supervising cultivator, he wasn't very serious in his attitude, but his strength was formidable. With his cultivation at the seventh level of Qi Refining, he was capable of contending against late-stage Qi Refining demonic beasts. He was sent by the Qingmu Sect just in case. A mere mid-grade first-level wild boar spirit was nothing to him.

However, although the wild boar spirit wasn't strong, it had thick skin and flesh. When the sword struck, blood flowed but it didn't fall. Instead, it went crazy and started rampaging aimlessly.

Seeing this, the cultivator smiled and stood still, waiting for the wild boar spirit to come to him.

As for the mortals present who couldn't dodge in time, they were sent flying and spat out blood from the impact.

"Dad, dad."

The son of one of the mortals who was hit lay on the ground, looking at his father who was seriously injured and fell. The cultivator finally waited for the wild boar spirit to crash into him, and with one sword strike, he resolved the situation.

With the wild boar spirit slain, everyone present relaxed.

As for the injured mortal, he had stopped breathing in and out, while the cultivator, with a smiling face, looked at the wild boar spirit. The life and injuries of mortals were not his concern, nor did he have to compensate for them. On the contrary, this wild boar spirit was a good source of income.

Lin Qing felt a bit reluctant on the side and took out a healing pill, feeding it to the injured mortal.

"Immortal."

The son of the mortal, upon seeing this scene, was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Lin Qing didn't stay long and turned around to leave.

His actions made the Qi Refining seventh-level cultivator's face look a bit unsightly. Lingering here would be of no benefit. Fortunately, the cultivator had been observing the wild boar spirit the whole time and didn't pay attention.

With the pill taken, the mortal on the ground gradually regained his breath. His son looked at Lin Qing's figure and kowtowed dozens of times in a row, until another mortal next to him pulled him up.

Back in his own room, the idea that had already arisen in Lin Qing's heart became even more firm.

That is, to leave the Qingmu Sect and go to the Xuan Yu Market.

Speaking of the Xuan Yu Market, as one of the three major sect-controlled markets in the Zhao Kingdom, it has a history of more than two hundred years. Although its scale is not the largest in the Zhao Kingdom, there are always thousands of cultivators gathered there. It even has five smaller markets under its jurisdiction, and the Qingmu Sect is just one of them.

As the superior market to the Qingmu Sect, the safety of the Xuan Yu Market is naturally not a concern. There are Foundation Building cultivators from the Wuji Sect stationed there all year round, and even late-stage Foundation Building cultivators would find it difficult to break through the formation. Whether it is cultivation or opening a shop, it is safer there.

After all, for Lin Qing, being in the Qingmu Sect now puts him in an awkward and dangerous position.

With only mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation, he controls a formation shop that brings in considerable profits. This is quite conspicuous, but it wouldn't be as noticeable in the larger Xuan Yu Market. For him, the Xuan Yu Market is a bigger environment.

Just like in a pond, a one-foot-long fish is considered big, but in a lake, a one-meter-long fish is not considered big.

The change in environment would make him less conspicuous.

Although he didn't know how big of a fish he was, it was clear that the Qingmu Sect had become too small for him.

And the expanded Qingmuji might be able to accommodate him, but there are many unknown risks associated with it. With his abilities like Goldfinger, it is only a matter of time before he breaks through. There is no need to experience these risks. It is a harmless thing to switch to a safer environment.

Apart from safety, he also needs to move for future development. Qingmuji is still too small. Even if it expands, it will take some time. He is about to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the resources for the later stage of Qi Refining are not something Qingmuji can provide. It is also about the formation. He can clearly obtain more materials in Xuan Yu Fang.

The most crucial thing is that the Primordial Origin technique he cultivates currently only has the sixth level of Qi Refining. It is afraid that the later techniques can only be found in Xuan Yu Fang.

Even Li Qingyu, her technique is also at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and she will also need to buy the later techniques.

In fact, there are more reasons to leave. The occasional attacks by demonic beasts, the poor management of the cultivators in Qingmuji, and so on, all contribute to the reasons for leaving. These reasons have been accumulating little by little in the previous days.

And today, the attitude of the cultivators in the market towards mortals is the last straw that breaks the camel's back for him.

However, it is certain that he will leave. But he wants to wait until he reaches the sixth level of Qi Refining before leaving, which will provide greater security. The construction of the outer stone wall is estimated to take about half a year, which is enough time for him.

Not only that, during this time, Lin Qing also wants to earn more spirit stones.

Although he has been to Xuan Yu Fang in his early years, he has no idea what it is like now. He will definitely not suffer if he is well-prepared with enough spirit stones before going. If he arrives and finds a shortage of spirit stones, it would be very bad.

Although he can sell various formations, what if something unexpected happens?

But it's different for Qingmuji. The demand for formations is still strong, and he can sell more. Previously, he controlled the quantity sold because of caution, but now, this quantity can be greatly increased.

His success rate in formations is extremely high now, plus the increase in formation prices, so the profits are very high. He can easily earn over a hundred spirit stones every month. Before leaving, earning seven to eight hundred spirit stones should not be a problem. Coupled with the remaining spirit stones from previous cultivation, accumulating a thousand spirit stones is not a problem for him.

As for how to leave, that is a question that needs to be considered.

He has traveled to many places in the past for a living. He has also traveled from Xuan Yu Fang to Qingmuji, so he remembers where he needs to pass and where there are dangers. Although many years have passed, he has not forgotten. But it is different now. He is not alone. Taking his family with him makes the journey completely different, with many more things to consider.

A journey of over a thousand miles is not easy.

But there is still time. Lin Qing can think slowly, and he can leave the task of selling formations to Li Qingyu. He still has a lot of inventory.

From this day on, Lin Qing continues to cultivate, using Qi Refining stage later-stage Qi Nourishing Pills generously. In addition to cultivation, he often thinks about the upcoming journey. Even the activities at night have decreased significantly.

The later stages of Qi Refining are increasingly difficult to break through, but in Lin Qing's estimation, it should not be a problem for him to break through in half a year.

But unexpectedly, the Qi Nourishing Pills he took began to develop resistance, and his cultivation speed slowed down significantly. Until the completion of the stone wall construction, half a year passed and he still hadn't made a breakthrough, only half a month away.

And the expansion of Qingmuji is only one step away from completion.

Three days later, Xuan Yu Fang will send down cultivators to officially set up a new formation for Qingmuji, and at the same time, hold a gathering event, inviting cultivators from nearby markets to participate. The number of people will surpass the record of Qingmuji and witness the completion of its expansion.

Lin Qing feels a sense of impatience. If Qingmuji had completed its expansion one month earlier, or if he had made a breakthrough earlier, he would have already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining and left here, and whatever happened in the future would have nothing to do with him.

But now, he is stuck here.
