I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 77: Cemetery

However, before the sign was put up, Lin Qing happened to encounter the Lin Xuze brothers who had returned from their training.

"Dad, dad."

Calling out "dad" twice, Lin Qing looked at the two Lin Xuze brothers. Upon seeing them, he was surprised to find that both of them had broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

It was not surprising that Lin Xuze, with his four spiritual roots, could break through so quickly. However, Lin Xuyuan, with only five spiritual roots, had also broken through, which was extraordinary. Looking at Lin Xuchang, their older brother, who was currently at the sixth level of Qi Refining, Lin Qing asked, "How did both of you reach the seventh level of Qi Refining?"

"Dad, we made breakthroughs quickly while we were outside," Lin Xuze said with a smile.

Lin Qing nodded, and Lin Xuze whispered, "Dad, we have important news now that we're back."

"Hmm?" Lin Qing looked at Lin Xuze, but he didn't say anything more. Lin Qing knew that he thought it was unsafe to talk in the outer city shops.

After returning home, after dinner in the evening, Lin Xuze spoke to Lin Qing alone.

"Dad, I didn't dare to say it in front of mom just now because I was afraid they would worry. Two years ago, we encountered a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator outside, who seems to be your enemy."

"Ninth-level Qi Refining?" Lin Qing looked at Lin Xuze in astonishment. He had never had a ninth-level Qi Refining enemy before.

Seeing Lin Qing's puzzled expression, Lin Xuze took out a storage bag. "Dad, this person's corpse is inside."

Without waiting for Lin Qing to ask how the two of them killed this person, he immediately opened the storage bag. Inside was a complete corpse. After Lin Xuze killed the person, he had kept the corpse in the storage bag all this time, and it still looked the same as before.

Lin Qing carefully examined the corpse inside, and then seemed to remember something.

He wasn't very familiar with this person's appearance, but it seemed vaguely familiar.

Thinking again, Lin Qing seemed to know who this person was. He remembered that when he first came to Chiyang Immortal City, he encountered the Hundred Treasures Tower, which released Foundation Building Pills to celebrate the breakthrough of cultivators in the tower to the Purple Mansion stage. At that time, he spent a lot of money to buy one, and then successfully built his foundation. When bidding for that Foundation Building Pill, it seemed that there was a cultivator who competed with him until the end.

At this moment, it seemed to be this person.

"Dad, do you think he is the person who competed with you for the Foundation Building Pill back then?" Lin Xuze asked.

Lin Qing nodded. To be honest, he had forgotten about this person since he bought the Foundation Building Pill. He didn't expect that this person would still cause trouble for his son. Truly shameless.

"Are you both okay? How did you kill him?" Lin Qing asked. It would not be easy to kill a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

Upon hearing Lin Qing's question, Lin Xuze told him about the scene of their battle two years ago. Lin Qing listened and sighed, then patted Lin Xuze on the shoulder, understanding everything without words.

"Dad, we're fine. You don't have to worry. We were able to kill him back then, and now we're both in the later stage of Qi Refining. We have no problems outside," Lin Xuze said with a smile.

Lin Qing nodded. At this moment, he recalled all the scenes in Chiyang Immortal City and confirmed that there were no remaining enemies. Only then did he feel relieved. As for the incident of going to the Wang family in Biling River because of Zhao Xiu, Lin Qing felt that the Foundation Building cultivator from that family was probably not the kind of person who would do such a thing, especially since he had descendants from the Wang family and wouldn't dare to act like that.

As for this person, Lin Qing examined the corpse repeatedly, but did not find anything that indicated their identity.

"This person's corpse is a hidden danger, and you should also be careful with the magical tools they used, don't use them," Lin Qing cautioned.

Lin Xueze smiled confidently and said, "Dad, you can rest assured about this matter, we naturally know."

Lin Qing nodded. Since losing his arm, his son Lin Xueze had become much more steady than before, so he didn't need to worry about him.

"Hey, Dad, we've gotten off track. The important thing I want to talk about is not this," Lin Xueze said.

"Isn't this important?" Lin Qing looked at Lin Xueze in surprise, wondering if there was something even more important.

At this moment, Lin Xueze took out a map, which was found in the person's storage bag, and said to Lin Qing, "Dad, we found this map and a large number of puppets in his storage bag. After we broke through to the later stage, we thought this might be an opportunity, so we went to this place to take a look. We found that it was a cemetery, and there was no danger, but the entire cemetery was enveloped in a formation, and we couldn't get in. We came back this time to see if we can open the formation. There might be good things inside."

"This..."

Lin Qing felt a little happy in his heart. In the past two years, he had read a lot of notes on deciphering formations, but he had never put them into practice. What Lin Xueze said was simply a gift.

If it was someone else inviting him, Lin Qing would definitely not go, but this was his own son, so there was no need to be on guard.

Lin Qing nodded and first told Lin Xueze about the matter of going to the Wang family. He also told him that he had obtained a formation inheritance and deciphering notes. After Lin Xueze finished listening, his face lit up and he said while holding the map, "Dad, isn't this a coincidence? This should be an opportunity for our Lin family."

Lin Qing also nodded. Sometimes, the mysteries of the world are hard to explain.

However, Lin Qing looked at the map and saw that the Chiyang Immortal City was about four to five thousand miles away from here. Although there were flying boats, it would still take some time. They needed to plan carefully.

So Lin Qing discussed with his family.

The duration of this trip was uncertain, but he definitely had to go. They could postpone hanging the sign for setting up formations. Lin Xueze and Lin Xueyuan, the two brothers, were not weak in strength, so they would also go on this trip. Chao Yunli and Che Yun would stay at home, while Lin Xuchang would take care of the shop. As for Lin Xuqing, he could go along.

Lin Xuqing had three spiritual roots and excellent aptitude. He had also cultivated the Yellow Earth Treasure Technique. Although he was only twenty years old, he had already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. Even in the sect, such speed could be called a genius. He was definitely a solid Foundation Building reserve cultivator. Lin Qing wanted to take him out to broaden his horizons.

For this trip, Lin Qing also prepared many talismans. Lin Xueze and Lin Xueyuan both replaced their first-grade superior magical tools, while Lin Xuqing used the magical tool left by Lin Xueyuan before.

After bidding farewell to his wives and concubines, Lin Qing took the three of them and left the city.

Walking on the road, although Lin Qing and the others were a family, their temperaments were different.

Lin Qing was now eighty-eight years old and appeared calm and steady. As a Foundation Building cultivator, he commanded respect with his strength. He looked like the head of a family. Lin Xueze, on the other hand, appeared fierce because of his severed arm. After so many years of training, he exuded a faint aura of hostility that would take a few more years to dissipate. Ordinary people would avoid him when they saw him.

Lin Xueyuan had always been training with Lin Xueze and didn't have that kind of hostility. Sometimes, he even appeared kind, but upon closer inspection, there was a hidden fierceness beneath his kindness that was no less than Lin Xueze's.

As for Lin Xuqing, it was different.

He had been well-fed and well-clothed since he was young, and his cultivation had no obstacles. Everything went smoothly for him. Not to mention Lin Qing, even his older brothers were enough to protect him. So he appeared gentle and had the temperament of a prince in the mortal world. With a wave of his folding fan, he would probably charm a group of female cultivators.
