I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 50: The Secrets of the Wuji Sect

To be honest, Lin Qing's first reaction was that the spirit stone used for testing was broken. He went to the Xuan Yu Workshop and bought a larger one, but the result was still the same. Lin Qing was a little confused. He had five spiritual roots, and his child had four spiritual roots. According to reason, a child could have at most four spiritual roots. Of course, in the mortal world, there could be children with heavenly spiritual roots, but the probability of encountering one in Zhao Country in decades was very low, and the same applied to cultivators. The chances of giving birth to children with better spiritual roots than their parents were very small.

Could it be that he was so lucky? Lin Qing thought to himself, but then he realized that it was probably not his own good luck, but because Goldfinger had improved the quality of the spiritual roots.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing felt happy. Three spiritual roots were considered good among various sects and were powerful contenders in the Foundation Building stage. If he could further improve in the future, he might be able to give birth to even higher spiritual roots. By then, his achievements would probably exceed his imagination.

Although this child with three spiritual roots could easily enter any sect in Zhao Country after growing up, Lin Qing and his wives decided to cultivate their future children regardless of the quality of their spiritual roots.

Entering a sect had its advantages, such as the sect's power and abundant resources, which were a paradise for cultivation. However, there were also disadvantages, such as intense competition, and one never knew when someone might be gone. It was better to cultivate them by their side, especially with his current resources. Moreover, if he only sent the good ones to the sect, wouldn't he be giving birth to disciples for the sect?

If Lin Qing and his wives were members of a sect, it would be different, but they had no foundation in any sect. This kind of thing was harmful and not beneficial.

After giving birth to a child, Lin Qing's fire spiritual root would improve much faster, but it still required a considerable amount of time.

Speaking of sects, the events that happened in the Wuji Sect gradually became known over time.

Initially, the Wuji Sect reduced the benefits of its disciples due to the depletion of a third-grade spiritual vein. Later, they sent their disciples to the Yan Dang Mountain Range to hunt and kill demonic beasts and search for spiritual herbs to develop. During that time, the shops in the Xuan Yu Workshop experienced a huge boom, but it only lasted for a month and a half. After that, the Wuji Sect tightened its control over the disciples, called them back to the sect, and restored the benefits of the spiritual stones.

At that time, many independent cultivators in the Xuan Yu Workshop couldn't understand the sudden changes and didn't understand why the Wuji Sect did this. But now, the shop owners gradually learned about the inside story.

It was true that the third-grade spiritual vein had dried up, and it was true that the disciples were sent out of the sect. However, even the Wuji Sect itself didn't expect that after sending the disciples out, a late Qi Refining stage disciple would actually discover another third-grade spiritual vein in the Yan Dang Mountain Range.

It should be noted that the Yan Dang Mountain Range spanned Zhao Country and was considered a significant mountain range in Yunzhou, where Zhao Country was located. It naturally had abundant resources, but after so many years of searching, it was not easy to find even a first-grade spiritual vein, let alone a third-grade one. When the news came out, the elders of the Wuji Sect thought that the disciple was joking and didn't believe it. But later, when they sent people to investigate, they discovered that it was indeed a third-grade spiritual vein, and the spiritual stones within it were intact, without any signs of mining.

The high-level members of the Wuji Sect were shocked by this. It was even more improbable than finding a child with heavenly spiritual roots in the mortal world. It was truly a stroke of luck.

After that, the Wuji Sect quickly contracted the sect, called back the disciples, and strictly kept it a secret, allowing the disciples to start mining.

It had been more than five years since then, and nearly half of the spiritual stones had been mined. Only now did the news gradually leak out and become known to the shop owners in the Xuan Yu Workshop.

To be honest, when Lin Qing learned the true reason behind the changes in the Wuji Sect, he didn't expect it to be like this. He originally thought that the Wuji Sect was considering the well-being of its disciples, but he never expected that they would find another third-grade spiritual vein.

He also heard that the disciple who discovered the spiritual vein was at the ninth level of Qi Refining. After discovering the spiritual vein, he reported it directly to the Wuji Sect. The credit for this was enormous. In order to commend this disciple, the Wuji Sect rewarded him with tens of thousands of spiritual stones and three Foundation Building pills. After discovering the spiritual vein, that disciple broke through to the Foundation Building stage two years later and gained a place in the Wuji Sect.

The opportunities within this are simply astonishing, leaving all the cultivators who heard about it dumbfounded.

You see, reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining is the pinnacle of the Qi Refining stage. Some cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining have far greater strength than those in the later stages of Qi Refining. However, no matter what, they are still in the Qi Refining stage. Faced with the realm of Foundation Building, which is like a sky-high barrier, except for those with exceptional aptitude, no one can guarantee a smooth breakthrough. Even those with dual spiritual roots have a chance of failure.

For all cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, breaking through this realm is extremely difficult. Someone has done the calculations, and even if they take Foundation Building pills, the chances are only about thirty to forty percent. You see, for the vast majority of cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, it is impossible to find Foundation Building pills. And without the aid of Foundation Building pills, the chances of breaking through are almost nonexistent.

Lin Qing told his wives about this matter, and they were also astonished. They couldn't believe that there were cultivators with such great opportunities.

Not only did he discover spiritual veins, but he also successfully advanced to the Foundation Building stage. It is estimated that this cultivator will have a bright future in the Limitless Sect.

Of course, this kind of opportunity is enviable to outsiders. Lin Qing continued to cultivate diligently every day, gradually breaking through to higher realms.

Spring came and autumn went, and three years passed. At the age of seventy, Lin Qing finally broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining through his unwavering daily cultivation. It had been ten years since he broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Many cultivators slow down their cultivation after breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. It's not that they don't want to break through further, but the resources required for cultivation in the later stages of Qi Refining are much greater. Only cultivators like Lin Qing, who have abundant spirit stones, can successfully break through. Lin Qing's breakthrough in just ten years can be considered remarkable.

After all, he had to bear the expenses of a whole family in his daily life, working day and night. He didn't have the leisure of those cultivators who only focused on meditation and breakthroughs.

To celebrate his breakthrough, Lin Qing and his family had a good meal in the evening.

The original dining table was no longer enough, so Lin Qing ordered a new one. At the table sat him, his wives, and their six children. Except for the youngest, Lin Xueqing, each of them had their own seat.

As for the cultivation levels of his wives, Li Qingyu and Che Yun were still at the sixth and fifth levels of Qi Refining, respectively. They needed some more time.

On the other hand, Lin Xuchang had already broken through to the second level of Qi Refining and was advancing towards the third level.

"Come, today is a joyous occasion. Let's all have a bowl." Lin Qing spoke and placed a kind of spirit wine sold by Xuan Yu Fang on the table. It had a low alcohol content but was extremely nourishing.

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, his wives and son all raised their bowls and drank a cup. After finishing a cup of spirit wine, Lin Qing looked at the full table and his grown-up children, Lin Xuen and Lin Xuchang, and a contented smile appeared on his face.

Thinking back to the past, he was disheartened by a single Fire Wolf, but now, not only had he reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, but his wives' cultivation levels were even higher than his own back then. What was even more important was that he had this big family, which brought him more joy than his own breakthrough.

During the meal, there was a sense of joy at the table. However, Lin Xuen kept looking at Lin Qing, as if he had something to say.
