I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 64: Resolving Hidden Dangers

Speaking of Lin Qing, after he and his family left Xuan Yu Fang Market, they bought three carriages and left immediately.

After traveling on the main road for a day, they turned onto a smaller road and continued further until they entered a deep forest.

Unlike when they left Qingmu Village, this time Lin Qing's departure attracted the attention of many cultivators. There were some unscrupulous cultivators following them. When they saw Lin Qing and his family enter the deep forest, a group of five cultivators also followed.

"Their family's strength is not small. We must be careful not to mess things up," said a scar-faced cultivator.

"I know that. With three late-stage and four mid-stage cultivators, they are tough opponents. But they have earned a lot of spirit stones over the years. We can't miss this opportunity. Besides, the two mid-stage cultivators have been away recently, so they are probably not with them," said a Qi Refining ninth-level cultivator next to him.

They knew quite a bit about Lin Qing's family. They knew that Lin Qing was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and both Che Yun and Li Qingyu were at the late stage of Qi Refining. Li Qingyu had broken through last year. Lin Xuchang, Lin Xuzhe, Lin Xuyuan, and Lin Xuqing were all at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

"Big brother," another cultivator said, "this family has earned so many spirit stones. I'm afraid they have some valuable items on them. We only have five people. Shouldn't we change our target?"

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? Are we weak? We have been doing this business for years. They may have strength, but they spend their days in the market. Can they handle real combat?" The Qi Refining ninth-level cultivator said disdainfully. In his opinion, Lin Qing's family spent their days in the market and lacked the combat experience that they, a group of experienced cultivators, possessed.

It should be noted that an experienced Qi Refining cultivator at a lower stage can easily kill a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator. In the cultivation world, strength does not solely rely on cultivation level.

Following Lin Qing's family, they didn't dare to get too close. After walking for a while in the deep forest, they came across two diverging paths. Judging from the fresh wheel tracks, it seemed that they had split up.

"It seems they have separated."

"Big brother, how should we pursue?" the scar-faced cultivator asked.

The Qi Refining ninth-level cultivator smiled and said, "It's just a diversion. Such tricks can't fool me."

After saying that, the cultivator sniffed and led a few people towards the left path.

As they went deeper into the forest, the mist appeared after a while.

"Big brother, this is probably another diversion," the scar-faced cultivator said.

"This is a formation," the Qi Refining ninth-level cultivator said coldly, then looked ahead. "Follow me. I don't believe they can escape."

This Qi Refining ninth-level cultivator seemed confident in tracking Lin Qing's group.

After sniffing a couple of times, the Qi Refining ninth-level cultivator sensed something was wrong. He sniffed again.

"The mist is poisonous. Hold your breath," he said.

The cultivators beside him immediately held their breath and looked around vigilantly.

Lin Qing felt a bit disappointed. He didn't expect his carefully prepared poison gas to be detected so easily. It seemed that a fight was inevitable.

Looking at his wife and children beside him, Lin Qing nodded.

Suddenly, Lin Qing's family, who had been lying in ambush, threw out more than ten talismans from all directions. The lowest-grade talismans were of superior quality, and half of them were of inferior quality second-grade talismans.

It should be noted that second-grade inferior talismans have the power equivalent to a Qi Refining ninth-level cultivator, and the more powerful ones can even rival a Foundation Building first-level cultivator. Faced with these sudden talismans, the group of cultivators reacted quickly. Each of them immediately used their own methods and defensive talismans to defend themselves.

However, even so, three cultivators died on the spot under the sudden talismans. Only the Qi Refining ninth-level cultivator and the scar-faced cultivator remained. But even they had unpleasant expressions on their faces. Although they managed to defend against the talismans, the power contained within them made them feel unstable.

"Master Lin, we admit defeat today and hope for mercy from your subordinates," said the Qi Refining cultivator at the ninth level.

Lin Qing did not respond. He and his wife and concubines formed a Five-Water Formation to confront this Qi Refining cultivator at the ninth level, while Lin Xueze and Lin Xueyuan confronted the Scarred Cultivator.

The Scarred Cultivator was at the seventh level of Qi Refining. When he saw two mid-level Qi Refining cultivators coming to find him, he felt delighted.

However, within ten breaths, he was the first to die. Then Lin Xueze and Lin Xueyuan came to help, and this Qi Refining cultivator at the ninth level also died on the spot in less than three breaths.

Lin Qing looked at the corpse of the Scarred Cultivator on the side and thought that his two sons had acquired quite a few skills during their years away. He then looked at the five dead cultivators and nodded in approval.

To resolve the battle so quickly, it would not have been possible for him alone, but as a family, they could.

After looting the storage bags and destroying the bodies, Lin Qing and his group continued on their way.

They waited in the deep forest for two days without seeing anyone. Lin Qing finally relaxed. He had arranged for Lin Xueze and Lin Xueyuan to prepare this deep forest in advance. Even if someone at the early stage of Foundation Building came, they would not benefit.

Of course, it was best that everything was safe and sound now.

After leaving the deep forest, Lin Qing opened the storage bags of these people. There were not many spirit stones, only a total of two thousand among the five of them.

In addition to the spirit stones, there were four high-grade magical treasures and seven medium-grade magical treasures. It seemed that they had used all their spirit stones on these items. These magical treasures could be sold for spirit stones later. As for talismans, there were not many left, indicating that they had been used up.

Lin Qing also found several cultivation techniques, but their quality was not as good as the ones he had bought from the Hundred Treasures Tower. He would just keep them as a collection.

From the storage bag of the Qi Refining cultivator at the ninth level, Lin Qing found a tracking technique. After reading it, he felt that it was extraordinary and had his wife, concubines, and sons read it as well. They could cultivate it in the future. In addition, there were several other spells.

Speaking of which, increasing cultivation was naturally the priority in cultivation, but the effects of various spells were also significant. However, Lin Qing had been busy with cultivation and living in the market, so he hadn't studied these spells much.

After annihilating this group of bandit cultivators, he could finally spare some time to study them.

Starting from Xuan Yu Market, this journey would take them directly to the Red Sun Immortal City, a distance of eight thousand miles, which would take at least three months, with plenty of time along the way.

After Lin Qing and his group left the deep forest, the Fellow Daoist Wang from the Hundred Treasures Tower somehow found their location. However, once he entered, he lost his direction and thought of the talismans that Lin Qing had bought from his Hundred Treasures Tower. He felt a chill and, after some thought, left the deep forest.

Lin Qing and his group continued to disguise themselves as ordinary people and traveled on the main road without any trouble.

On this day, they had already left the range of the Limitless Sect. Lin Qing looked around. It was the time when spring blossomed, and farmers were busy in the fields. Seeing this scene, Lin Qing felt much more relaxed, and even the horse hummed as if it could smell the fragrance of flowers.

"Brother, are we really going to farm for the rest of our lives?" At the same time, in a field in a certain place in the Zhao Kingdom, one man asked another.

The man being asked had a rather honest expression on his face. He paused when he heard the question, didn't say anything, and buried his head to continue hoeing.

"What's wrong with farming?"

"But I don't want to."

Hearing his younger brother's words, the man looked up at the sky, seemingly thinking of something. A pained expression appeared on his face. He took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision, and looked at his younger brother.

"Bang! Bang!" He threw the hoe to the ground, and the two of them left the field directly.

When the employer didn't see them return at night, they sent someone to check. Apart from finding the hoe, the two hired men were nowhere to be found.
