I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 80: Purple Gold Toad

Lin Qing nodded and looked at the cemetery, saying, "Alright, let's dig up the remaining graves and see if there are any more omissions. After we're done, we'll restore this place to its original state."

"Dad, what about that toad?" Lin Xuyuan asked again.

Lin Qing looked at the creature, which should be called the Purple Gold Toad. It was mentioned in the letter earlier. Thinking that this was the spiritual beast of the late Foundation Building cultivator, Lin Qing had an idea.

"In that case, I'll put it away first," Lin Qing said.

Afterwards, Lin Qing and the others dug up the remaining graves again, but they didn't find any valuable items. They spent a day filling up all the graves they had dug and then left.

Since they didn't have a beast pouch, Lin Qing could only put the Purple Gold Toad on the flying boat.

Once on the boat, the Purple Gold Toad became restless, even though it was trapped by a formation and occasionally tried to jump off.

"Dad, is it because it has never been on a flying boat before?" Lin Xuzé stared at the Purple Gold Toad and asked.

Lin Qing shook his head. Although this kind of demonic beast usually stayed in a beast pouch, its previous owner was a late Foundation Building cultivator, so it shouldn't be unfamiliar with flying boats.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qing suddenly smiled. He knew why the Purple Gold Toad was restless.

"Let's go down," he said.

Lin Qing controlled the flying boat to descend into the dense forest below. Seeing Lin Qing's actions, his sons quickly understood.

The Purple Gold Toad had been underground for decades, so its restlessness wasn't because it hadn't been on a flying boat before, but because it was hungry.

Yes, humans get hungry, and demonic beasts get hungry too.

Once in the forest, Lin Qing quickly caught several ordinary snakes and threw them to the Purple Gold Toad. Opening its big mouth, the toad swallowed all the snakes in one gulp. Its gaze towards Lin Qing also became much softer, and it was no longer restless.

Lin Qing nodded. It seemed that his guess was correct. Although it was a demonic beast, it had many similarities with ordinary wild animals. It had a natural preference for certain things to eat.

However, Lin Qing didn't know much about beast taming techniques. Perhaps there were records of beast taming in the Wu family inheritance he obtained this time, but he hadn't had time to read it. He could only deal with it later.

In the underground forest, Lin Qing also caught many insects and beasts that toads liked to eat, killing them and storing them in his storage bag for later use.

Just as Lin Qing was about to lift the flying boat and return to the sky, whether it was because his previous actions were too loud or his aura leaked out, there was a commotion in the forest. Then, a Foundation Building early-stage python crawled over.

Seeing this python, the Purple Gold Toad, which had been happily eating snakes, suddenly became listless. If this had happened before, it could have put up a fight, but now its strength had fallen to the late Qi Refining stage. Faced with this Foundation Building early-stage python, it couldn't possibly win, especially since it was currently trapped by Lin Qing's formation and had nowhere to escape.

The Purple Gold Toad looked at Lin Qing for help, and of course, Lin Qing wouldn't let this python eat the toad.

Taking out his magic tool, without saying much, Lin Qing and his three sons surrounded the python, with Lin Xuzé taking the first move, followed closely by Lin Xuyuan and Lin Xuqing. As for Lin Qing, he only suppressed the python and didn't participate. He wanted to take this opportunity to let his three sons have some experience in dealing with Foundation Building demonic beasts.

This python, as a Foundation Building early-stage cultivator, was three zhang long and about two chi wide. Its size wasn't exaggerated, but its scales were incredibly tough. Even Lin Xuqing's first-grade middle-tier magic tool and Lin Xuzé's and Lin Xuyuan's first-grade top-tier magic tools could only leave a white mark on the python's body, unable to harm it in the slightest.

The python occasionally wanted to attack Lin Xuzhe and the others, but it was always suppressed by Lin Qing. It was somewhat afraid to attack Lin Qing, as it could naturally sense his aura, which was not something the people around him could compare to.

Seeing that it was trapped and unable to get its hands on the enticing Purple Gold Toad, the python retreated and wanted to escape.

"Dad." Lin Xuzhe looked at Lin Qing.

Lin Qing nodded. This python was still too powerful for Lin Xuzhe and the others, so only he could take action.

Lin Qing first threw out several second-grade inferior talismans, followed closely by using a second-grade inferior spiritual weapon. With these two combined, they immediately intercepted the python's attempt to escape. After that, each of Lin Qing's attacks caused certain damage to the python's scales. At this point, the python couldn't escape or defeat Lin Qing.

Suddenly, the python looked at Lin Qing, then opened its mouth wide. Lin Qing immediately dodged as a green mist sprayed out from the python's mouth.

"It's poisonous!"

Lin Qing said, and after speaking, he and Lin Xuzhe quickly dodged. Taking advantage of this opening, the python tried to escape.

What no one expected was that the Purple Gold Toad, still trapped by the formation, saw the sprayed green mist and directly sucked it in with its mouth. Lin Qing looked at the Purple Gold Toad in surprise. He didn't expect it to have such an ability.

Just as the python was about to escape after the green mist was sucked away, its figure was revealed. Lin Qing quickly approached.

Afterwards, although the python spat out several more green mists, they were all resolved by the Purple Gold Toad. After a short while, Lin Qing chopped off the python's head.

"Dad, we can sell this snake beast for a lot of spirit stones." Lin Xuyuan said happily.

Lin Qing nodded. A Foundation Building demonic beast was a treasure in itself. For example, this python's venomous fangs, scales, and snake bones were all good materials for making spiritual weapons. Generally speaking, it was extremely rare to encounter a Foundation Building python like this in the dense forest. It was impossible for a Foundation Building cultivator to encounter such a python, because it could sense auras and escape in advance.

The fact that this python appeared on its own initiative made Lin Qing look at the Purple Gold Toad. It must have played a role in this.

The Purple Gold Toad looked at Lin Qing with anticipation. Lin Qing knew that it wanted to eat the snake meat, but he didn't feed it. After all, the Purple Gold Toad was currently trapped, and Lin Qing didn't dare to feed it the flesh and blood of a Foundation Building stage demonic beast. What if something went wrong?

Taking control of the flying boat again, Lin Qing flew towards the Chiyang Immortal City. When passing by a small market, he had an idea and asked Lin Xuzhe to buy a spirit beast bag.

This Purple Gold Toad was quite extraordinary, and Lin Qing didn't want to show it off in the Chiyang Immortal City.

Opening the spirit beast bag that was bought, the Purple Gold Toad obediently crawled inside. Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief. If it didn't go in, it would be troublesome.

Returning to the Chiyang Immortal City, it had only been ten days since they left. Seeing Lin Qing and his group return safely, the family breathed a sigh of relief. Upon hearing about the gains of Lin Qing's group, Chao Yun, Li Qingyu, and Lin Xuchang were all extremely surprised. They didn't expect to obtain these things.

After happily having dinner, Lin Qing and his family gathered in a spacious house.

"Come, let's count the books together." Lin Qing said happily.

After speaking, Lin Qing took out all the books from the storage bag and piled them up in the center of the room. Looking at so many books, although Lin Qing had seen them in the cemetery, he still showed an excited expression with his family.

In the cultivation world, there were many things that couldn't be bought with spirit stones, and these books were one of them.
