I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 59: Xuan Yu Fang Explosion

Lin Qing was naturally delighted to see them. To be honest, he felt much more at ease letting them go out than Lin Xuen. It wasn't because they were in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, but because these twins had a cleverness and sometimes a bit of cunning. On the other hand, Lin Xuen was more honest and steadfast. However, those who did well outside were often people like Lin Xueze.

"Dad, Dad." After they came back, they each called out "Dad" and Lin Qing nodded in response.

"You two have had a tough year." Lin Qing said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xueze and Lin Xueyuan glanced at each other, and then Lin Xueze said, "Dad, it's been alright. We know that our strength is not strong, so we have been cautious in our actions. We haven't encountered any major dangers this year, and we also have formations to rely on, so we don't have to worry."

"That's good." Lin Qing nodded.

At this moment, Lin Xueyuan looked at Lin Xueze and smiled, "Dad, he has gotten close to a female cultivator while he was out."

"Oh?" Lin Qing was pleasantly surprised and looked at Lin Xueze. He didn't expect him to have a relationship with a female cultivator.

Lin Xueze felt a bit embarrassed, but Lin Qing was quite happy. His children, regardless of anything else, had good looks, which they inherited from him.

"Dad, we're just making friends. Besides, he also knows a female cultivator." Lin Xueze said.

"I don't." Lin Xueyuan quickly said.

"Hahaha."

Seeing his two grown-up sons playing around in front of him like children, Lin Qing showed an extremely happy expression.

"Alright, alright, it's good that you're back. Let's have a good meal tonight."

"Okay, Dad, I've missed the food at home so much."

"Me too."

In the evening, Lin Qing and his family had a meal together. During the meal, Lin Xueze and Lin Xueyuan teased each other, creating a lively atmosphere.

While Lin Qing laughed, he looked at Lin Xuechang. Compared to his two younger brothers, Lin Xuechang was much older, but it seemed like he had no other concerns and was always busy with formation-making.

Although Lin Xuechang was older than his younger brothers, Lin Qing didn't say anything. Cultivators usually marry late, and some even remain unmarried for life. This was very common. Looking at Lin Xueze and Lin Xueyuan, Lin Qing thought that with them around, he didn't have to worry about this aspect.

After staying for a few days, Lin Xueze and Lin Xueyuan were about to leave.

During these few days, they returned the spiritual stones that Lin Qing had bought for them, but Lin Qing didn't accept them. He wanted to see their hearts, not actually take back the spiritual stones. After all, Lin Xueze and Lin Xueyuan were still young and had many places to use spiritual stones. As an elder, he couldn't burden their cultivation.

After Lin Xueze and Lin Xueyuan left, the house became much quieter, and the whole family continued to improve.

Two more years passed, and Lin Qing's cultivation became even more solid. Lin Xuechang had already started making middle-grade first-tier formations, and Lin Xueqing, who followed Che Yun to learn alchemy, had become a lower-grade first-tier alchemist. Che Yun was about to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, and everything was thriving.

However, as the only mortal in the family, Chao Yun has gradually aged and can no longer bear children.

But Lin Qing doesn't mind at all, and even treats Chao Yun better than before.

In the past two years, after absorbing the knowledge from those two books on formations, Lin Qing has taken the Eight Consecutive Water Formation a step further and created a new Nine Consecutive Water Formation.

Lin Qing estimates that this formation should be a second-grade middle-quality formation, but he is not certain. This formation is much stronger than the Eight Consecutive Water Formation. However, after creating this formation, Lin Qing did not sell it or continue to produce it. He treated it as an experiment, which signifies the completion of his Seven Consecutive Water Formation series. He has no intention of further research.

After all, there is no point in going any further. Should he create an Eighty-Eight Consecutive Water Formation? Not only would that be strange for a formation, but it would also be impossible to expand the Seven Consecutive Water Formation to eighty-eight.

After all, the Seven Consecutive Water Formation is only a second-grade lower-quality formation. It took Lin Qing many years to create a series, exhausting all its potential and leaving no room for further development.

Lin Qing now focuses his main energy on the Mist Concealing Formation and the Gathering Spirit Formation. He has tried them out in his own courtyard and they are not bad, but to unleash their true power, they need to be placed in a larger space.

Since the Water and Wood Spiritual Roots Integrated Union became the Bamboo Spiritual Root, in these two years, the Bamboo Spiritual Root has also reached the upper-quality level. After reaching this level, Lin Qing's cultivation speed is comparable to that of a three-spiritual-root cultivator, which gives him more confidence in breaking through the Foundation Building stage.

However, there has been no way to obtain the Foundation Building Pill all these years. The Infinite Sect has not released any, but Lin Qing's cultivation still needs a few more years of refinement, so he is not in a hurry.

Lin Qing continues to cultivate with a focused mind, constantly preparing for Foundation Building.

Relying on the uninterrupted formation business for so many years, he now has nearly fifteen thousand spirit stones. But this is still not enough. A regular Foundation Building Pill outside would cost at least ten thousand or more. Lin Qing suspects that he cannot achieve Foundation Building with just one pill, so it is best to take two, which will require more time.

The theoretical lifespan of the Qi Refining stage is around one hundred and twenty years, but very few can live that long. Lin Qing is already eighty-two years old, which is considered old in the mortal world.

In the cultivation world, it is theoretically better to achieve Foundation Building at a younger age, preferably before sixty.

But Lin Qing cannot meet this condition at all. He reached the third level of Qi Refining at the age of forty-six and the ninth level of Qi Refining only five years ago. He doesn't have the conditions to break through.

However, compared to other wandering cultivators, his Goldfinger allows his spiritual roots to continuously improve. While his aptitude keeps getting better, he also benefits personally. Lin Qing feels that his current state is not inferior to those cultivators in their fifties. So, he doesn't need to worry too much about his age.

Moreover, there are many cultivators in the cultivation world who break through at an older age. Sixty is not a fixed number; it just means the chances are higher.

As long as it's not over a hundred, there is still a chance.

Although that's the case, Lin Qing has set a goal for himself to try to break through after the age of eighty-five, at the latest by ninety. He can't delay it too long.

"Boom!"

Just as Lin Qing was falling asleep, he heard a loud explosion, as if the earth was shaking. The wooden house where Lin Qing lived was shaken, and some wood chips fell.

Without Lin Qing saying a word, everyone in the house got up. It wasn't just Lin Qing's family, but all the cultivators and mortals in Xuan Yu Lane were awakened by the explosion, but no one opened their doors to go out.

It was already early morning, and the pitch-black night was illuminated by the fire after the explosion. Lin Qing stood on the second floor and looked over. It seemed that the address of the Infinite Sect's formation business had exploded, and the fire was spreading.

Faced with this inexplicable event, this street where Lin Qing lived was surprisingly quieter than before, as if many people were holding their breath.
