I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 49: Lin Xuqing

No matter how much money Baibao Tower made, after buying the martial arts technique, Lin Qing let Lin Xuchang choose a cultivation method for himself. Lin Xuchang chose the Taiyi Profound Technique and began practicing it.

Apart from spiritual stones, Lin Qing didn't let Lin Xuchang take any elixirs. After all, it was important to lay a solid foundation. He could take them when his cultivation reached a bottleneck, which might help him go further.

Now that Lin Xuchang was also cultivating, Lin Qing's family already had four cultivators who consumed spiritual stones. However, Lin Qing didn't feel much pressure because his series of Seven Water Formation Arrays were selling better and better, fully supporting them.

The most crucial thing was that he had made the Seven Water Formation Array a year ago and hadn't sold it yet. He kept it as a trump card in his storage bag. This Seven Water Formation Array was powerful. According to the introduction in the initial stage of the formation, seven Qi Refining cultivators at the ninth level could resist a Foundation Building cultivator at the early stage. If it were to be revealed, it would surely attract the attention of some Foundation Building cultivators. The materials for this formation cost over a hundred spiritual stones. Lin Qing even thought about selling a set for three to five hundred spiritual stones, which would last for a year.

Of course, it wasn't necessary now. Lin Qing could already do well with the current Seven Water Formation.

After making the Seven Water Formation, Lin Qing didn't stop but continued researching to see if he could create an Eight Water Formation.

It was easy to decompose a formation, but it was difficult to create a new and stronger one. However, Lin Qing had plenty of time. Currently, he was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and he had plenty of time in the future.

That night, Lin Qing slept in Che Yun's room. Che Yun had already broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining and became a first-grade alchemist. This was naturally related to the abundant supply of spiritual stones from Lin Qing.

After a while, Lin Qing looked at his Goldfinger panel.

[Congratulations, host. Experience of formations +6, Fire Attribute Root +8]

[Formation Master: Second-grade lower rank (57,639/150,000)]

[Fire Attribute Root: Medium grade (10,005/10,000) (can be breakthrough)]

[Water Attribute Root: Extreme grade (41,453/150,000)]

[Wood Attribute Root: Extreme grade (41,440/150,000)]

It had been nearly five years since his Fire Attribute Root reached the medium grade. Finally, at this moment, his Fire Attribute Root could be breakthrough. It wasn't that Lin Qing didn't work hard, but he had three daughters and couldn't devote all his energy to cultivation.

[Fire Attribute Root: Upper grade (5/50,000)]

The next day, when his Fire Attribute Root broke through to the upper grade, Lin Qing felt delighted. Although his cultivation speed was still not as fast as the three attribute roots, it was getting faster now. Lin Qing estimated that as long as he could raise his Fire Attribute Root to the same extreme grade as his Water and Wood Attribute Roots, his cultivation speed should be similar to the three attribute roots. However, even though his cultivation speed had increased, Lin Qing was still fundamentally a five attribute root cultivator. Therefore, he still needed to choose a cultivation method suitable for all attribute roots.

After Lin Xuchang started cultivating, his older brother Lin Xuen had turned seventeen and become a strong young man. He helped Lin Qing in the shop every day and was very quick with his hands and feet.

But the faster Lin Xuen was, the more guilty Lin Qing felt. If he had attribute roots, he would have reached the second level of Qi Refining at this age. How could he be helping in the shop? If it were any other ordinary person, it would be fine, but he was his own son. Lin Qing always felt that he should give Lin Xuen something more, but he didn't know what Lin Xuen wanted. It seemed like he didn't care about anything.

"Xuen, take a break," Lin Qing said when he saw Lin Xuen had just finished wiping the counter and was about to mop the floor.

"Dad, I'm not tired." Lin Xuen picked up the mop and continued mopping.

Lin Qing felt uncomfortable. Lin Xuen didn't know that his Cleanse Formation could do this in just a few breaths. But since Lin Xuen started helping, Lin Qing hadn't used this formation again.

Looking at the white clouds floating in the sky above Xuan Yu Lane, Lin Qing wondered if it would be better for Lin Xuen to stay in the mortal world.

But he couldn't say such words out loud.

After more than half a year, Lin Xuchang broke through to the first level of Qi Refining. This speed was neither fast nor slow, just average. If you include the spiritual energy and techniques from the Xuan Yu Market, it could be considered a bit slow, but Lin Qing was still extremely happy.

Now, in another two or three years, he would break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, while Li Qingyu had already reached the sixth level, Che Yun the fifth level, and Lin Xuchang the first level. With four cultivators in the family, Lin Qing felt quite proud. And the thought that in a few more years, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuyuan, Lin Xuchang's younger brothers, would also be able to cultivate made Lin Qing even happier.

Moreover, Che Yun was now pregnant, and who knows, maybe it would be a child with spiritual roots.

As for Lin Qing's shop, it had already expanded from the original two stores to four, including the shop he rented for Che Yun.

Now, two of the stores sold formations, one was used for material acquisition, and the other was used for selling Che Yun's elixirs in small quantities.

Although Che Yun's success rate in pill refining was already good, Lin Qing didn't let her focus all her energy on refining pills with a guaranteed success rate. Instead, he encouraged her to constantly break through and strive to become a first-grade alchemist.

Becoming a first-grade alchemist would take at least twenty to thirty years, but no matter how long it took, Lin Qing could afford it.

There were already too many mid-grade alchemists. There were quite a few in the Xuan Yu Market, and even more in other markets. Only first-grade alchemists would have some advantages.

On this day, Lin Qing was still sitting in the shop when a cultivator with a child walked in and said, "Shopkeeper Lin, I'm here again."

"Haha, please have a seat."

This person was not Fellow Daoist Wang, but an old customer who had been coming to Lin Qing's shop for many years. However, he didn't come to buy, but to sell.

Lin Qing's shop also bought materials, and over the years, he had gained a group of regular cultivators who would sell their materials to him because of his fairness. There were even small cultivation families who would gather a batch of materials and come to the Xuan Yu Market to sell them to Lin Qing. As long as they met the requirements, Lin Qing would naturally accept them. This person was one of those cultivators.

After calculating the materials as usual, Lin Qing handed the spirit stones to the cultivator, who took them and smiled, saying, "Shopkeeper Lin, you are as fair as always."

Lin Qing smiled and then said to the child, "Quickly call me Uncle Lin. Maybe in the future, you will also come to sell materials."

"Hello, Uncle Lin."

"Hey," Lin Qing replied. He knew that this child was the cultivator's descendant.

"Well, Shopkeeper Lin, I'll take my leave now."

"Take care."

Lin Qing said, watching the father and son leave with a smile. Cultivation was a long journey, and although there were many dangers, it also allowed one to meet many people and see many sights.

Especially the changes brought about by time, which always made people feel emotional.

He remembered that when this cultivator first came, he didn't have a child.

After more than half a year, Che Yun gave birth to a son for Lin Qing. Lin Qing named him Lin Xuqing, meaning to celebrate. It was simple and easy to remember. Lin Qing realized that naming a child was not a simple task when there were so many children.

And a hundred days later, Lin Qing tested Lin Xuqing and was surprised to find that not only did he have spiritual roots, but he also had three spiritual roots.
