I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 72: The Bi Lin River

Upon seeing Lin Qing examining the magical tools again, the cultivator's face showed a slight joy. It seemed that a big customer had arrived today.

Afterwards, Lin Qing spent three thousand spirit stones to purchase two lower-grade second-tier magical tools. With Lin Qing's current cultivation level, coupled with these two second-tier magical tools, he could not only fight opponents of a higher cultivation level, but even those in the early stages of Foundation Building would be no match for him. As for the Qi Refining stage, there was no need to mention it.

Speaking of which, in the cultivation world, it was not uncommon for cultivators to fight opponents of a higher cultivation level. However, most of them were talented cultivators who had mastered various techniques at a young age and were invincible among their peers. They could even put up a fight against cultivators of a higher level. But Lin Qing was not a talented cultivator, so he couldn't achieve this. As long as he didn't lose among his peers, he would be satisfied.

Not only Lin Qing, but 99% of cultivators in the cultivation world could only fight against those of the same cultivation level. After all, higher-level cultivators had more abundant techniques and sufficient spirit stones, giving them a significant advantage.

After buying the magical tools and the flying boat, Lin Qing familiarized himself with them for a few days before setting off towards the Bi Lin River with Zhao Xiu.

It was obvious that Zhao Xiu had ridden a flying boat before and felt nothing special, but when Lin Qing stood on the flying boat and watched everything passing by beneath his feet, he couldn't help but feel a sense of exhilaration.

Looking straight ahead at the flying boat, Lin Qing couldn't help but think of the days when he used to ride in a carriage, feeling even more emotional.

"Senior Lin, I have a few questions to ask." Zhao Xiu spoke up at this moment. Naturally, he wouldn't miss this opportunity to be with Lin Qing, a senior in Foundation Building. He had encountered many problems in his cultivation journey and now was the perfect time to seek advice.

Lin Qing didn't refuse and answered Zhao Xiu's questions.

Upon hearing Lin Qing's answers, Zhao Xiu seemed to have gained some enlightenment. Lin Qing found it a bit strange. Did he answer so well?

During the journey, a distance of two thousand miles, they set off in the morning and arrived in the evening after resting along the way.

In the air, Lin Qing also got a full view of the Bi Lin River. This river was over three hundred miles long, not too long nor too short. Zhao Xiu's family was located at the lower reaches of the river. According to Zhao Xiu, their family used to control the entire river, but now only this lower section remained.

Lin Qing didn't say anything and controlled the flying boat to land in Zhao's family city.

What surprised Lin Qing afterwards was that the population of Zhao's family exceeded his imagination. Apart from nine Qi Refining cultivators, there were hundreds of thousands of ordinary people. Zhao Xiu seemed quite proud when talking about this.

"Senior Lin, we can't be compared to the Wang and Li families. We have been here for a long time, and this population is nothing. If it weren't for the limited space, our population would have been countless." Zhao Xiu nodded. If Zhao's family controlled the Bi Lin River now and used it as nourishment, their population would probably be more than double the current number.

This made Lin Qing think that it might not be so easy for the Wang and Li families to annex Zhao's family. Although they had Foundation Building cultivators, they couldn't handle so many ordinary people in a short time. Killing them all was not an option either. Lin Qing estimated that before they finished killing, the major sects of Zhao Country would have wiped out the Wang and Li families.

In Lin Qing's opinion, the Wang and Li families were probably planning slowly, using the influence of the Foundation Building cultivators to gradually erode Zhao's family. It would take several generations, but it wouldn't be difficult.

With this in mind, Lin Qing relaxed a lot on this trip. What he could think of, the Wang family could definitely think of as well. The pressure on Zhao's family was probably just to test their potential. After all, Zhao's family was extraordinary in the past. If there was no reaction, things would be easier. If there was a reaction, they could plan again.

Upon arriving at Zhao's family city, Zhao Xiu gathered all the cultivators from his family. Lin Qing took a glance and saw that none of them had the hope of breaking through to Foundation Building. If Zhao's family wanted to change their situation, it could only rely on Zhao Xiu.

During the banquet, Lin Qing naturally sat at the head seat, and Zhao Xiu arranged seven or eight beautiful women for him.

They were all descendants of ordinary people from Zhao's family.

Lin Qing understood Zhao Xiu's intentions. If Lin Qing took a liking to one or two of them, Zhao's family would benefit greatly.

Lin Qing is no longer a young man. Although these women are beautiful, he will not be moved by them. This is all trouble.

Seeing that Lin Qing remains unmoved, the Zhao family cultivators are disappointed. They are not afraid of Lin Qing taking action, but rather afraid that he won't. If Lin Qing is willing, they can have all these women, and they would line up for miles to offer themselves.

After the banquet, Lin Qing rests temporarily. Tomorrow, he will meet with the Foundation Building cultivators from the Wang family.

At night, Zhao cultivator hands over the inheritance of a first-tier formation to Lin Qing. As for the second-tier, it will have to wait until tomorrow. Lin Qing has looked at the first-tier and it is indeed genuine, which pleases him.

On the second day, Lin Qing goes to the Wang family alone, and the Wang family is already aware of his arrival.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask why you have intervened? Are you a member of the Zhao family?" The Foundation Building cultivator from the Wang family, who is only fifty years old, asks Lin Qing.

"No," Lin Qing replies.

"Then may I ask, Fellow Daoist, do you have a grudge against my Wang family?" the cultivator asks again.

"No grudge."

"Then let me ask again, Fellow Daoist, have you been entrusted to protect the Zhao family?"

"No," Lin Qing answers again. This Foundation Building cultivator's words are extraordinary. In Lin Qing's heart, it would be best if he didn't get involved in this mess, but now he can't back out.

"Fellow Daoist, the Zhao family has been rooted here for a long time, which is not easy. I hope Fellow Daoist can give us some time. I am also very grateful," Lin Qing says.

After saying this, the cultivator looks at Lin Qing and then asks, "So, how long should we wait? Do you want my Wang family to wait for hundreds of years?"

Lin Qing smiles and extends his finger, saying, "No need. Please give us fifteen years and give the Zhao family a way out."

The Foundation Building cultivator from the Wang family doesn't rush to answer. After looking at Lin Qing, he nods and says, "Since that's the case, I hope Fellow Daoist remembers what was said today."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist. I will naturally remember," Lin Qing says.

Lin Qing is naturally happy to resolve the conflict without bloodshed. After he leaves, a person approaches the Foundation Building cultivator from the Wang family and says, "Master, I'm afraid this person is not here on behalf of the Zhao family to deal with us."

The Foundation Building cultivator from the Wang family shakes his head and says, "He doesn't seem like it. He should have been hired by the Zhao family to delay us. Their true goal is to break through the Foundation Building stage."

"Master, are you saying that the Zhao family wants to break through the Foundation Building stage?"

"Yes, the reason their Zhao Tianming went to the Red Sun Immortal City was to avoid us and try to break through the Foundation Building stage. But he thought too highly of himself. The Foundation Building stage is not so easily broken. He thinks that without our threat, he can break through. In my opinion, even if we give him thirty years, he still won't be able to break through."

"So, Master, do we have to wait for fifteen years?"

The Foundation Building cultivator from the Wang family smiles and says, "Fifteen years is enough. I can wait. Besides, even if we don't have this cultivator, can we swallow the Zhao family in fifteen years? Their power is not small. This matter cannot be rushed. Now that I have broken through the Foundation Building stage, our family will prosper in the future. There is no need to be anxious."

"Yes, Master," the person beside him says and takes his leave. However, the Foundation Building cultivator keeps thinking about something.
