I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 166: Preparing for the Future

(Subscription rates have dropped significantly. It seems like people don't enjoy reading about other women. I originally wanted to write these to enrich the image of the Lin family's descendants, but if people don't like it, I'll write less. Today's chapters are the last ones, and even if there are more in the future, there will be very few. Next, I will talk about Zhao Xiu's matter and the future development of Zhao Country. I hope everyone can support it.)

"I've heard of it," Lin Xuqian nodded.

Lin Qing looked ahead at the flying boat and continued, "Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Our large Lin family should also have some backup plans. Although the spiritual vein here is not high, it's still decent. Father is thinking of setting up a gathering spirit formation here, and the spiritual energy should be enough to support a Foundation Building stage cultivator's cultivation. We can station a Foundation Building stage cultivator here to both guard and preserve our strength. Even if the ore is depleted in the future, it can still serve as a separate territory for our Lin family."

After saying this, Lin Qing glanced at Lin Xuqian and then said with some emotion, "Our Lin family is becoming more prosperous, but also more dangerous. Fortune and misfortune are only a thin line apart. To put it bluntly, one day our Lin family might be wiped out, but if we leave this place, at least we will have a foundation and won't be completely wiped out."

"Father, what you said is unlikely. Who can wipe out our Lin family now? Even if a Violet Palace stage cultivator comes, it won't be that easy," Lin Xuqian said again.

Lin Qing shook his head, "There will always be someone better than you. If everything in the world could be predicted, there wouldn't be so many tragedies."

"You have to understand that the problems you can think of are not the real problems. The real problems are often in the places you can't even imagine."

"Father, I think I understand," Lin Xuqian nodded thoughtfully after hearing Lin Qing's words. "Now that you've thought of this in advance, our Lin family won't face complete destruction in the future. We can at least leave something behind. If we hadn't thought of it, the threat of complete destruction would become a reality."

Lin Qing nodded, "That's the idea. A wobbly stool, if you're always aware that it's about to break and sit on it carefully, you're less likely to fall. But if you don't think about it or forget about it for a moment, you might really fall."

After saying this, Lin Qing smiled, and Lin Xuqian also smiled.

But after the laughter, Lin Qing sighed, "This plan is not foolproof. A separate territory with weak strength can be easily wiped out if someone is determined to do so and sends enough people to attack our Lin family."

"Father, you're thinking too much," Lin Xuqian said.

Lin Qing thought to himself that he might be thinking too much. Do what you can and leave the rest to fate. Often, fate is more important.

Then he realized that the fate of his Lin family seemed to be quite good.

After arriving at the mining site, Lin Qing confirmed that there was indeed a first-grade high-quality spiritual vein, but it was hidden nearly 70 meters underground.

Lin Qing then set up a gathering spirit formation in the spiritual vein. After setting it up, he looked at Lin Xuqian, who was still at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

This Foundation Building Pill had always been a concern for Lin Qing.

At this moment, Lin Qing didn't mention it. Instead, he followed the route of the spiritual vein and said to Lin Xuqian, "Xuqian, in the future, you can have these mortals dig a path around this spiritual vein, but make it a bit further away."

"Father, I understand," Lin Xuqian nodded. He understood what Lin Qing meant.

With this gathering spirit formation, he could cultivate in the spiritual vein, and for safety reasons, there should be other exits.

"It's good that you understand."

Lin Qing nodded, then said, "In a few days, I will have your brother bring some of our Lin family's younger cultivators here, and you can all be together."

"Okay," Lin Xusi nodded.

As for the Lin family's younger generation that Lin Qing mentioned, the Lin family now has quite a few Qi Refining cultivators. Lin Xuyuan alone has five, and Lin Xuqing and Lin Xuzhe also have several. Bringing them to the mining site will ensure that there is some remaining power in the Lin family in case of any unforeseen events in the future.

Speaking of which, Lin Xuzhe and Qin Rou's three children from before were all sent to Qingfeng Sect. The two of them have had two more children over the years, both of whom have joined the Lin family. Their aptitude is all four spiritual roots, which is not bad.

After that, Lin Qing was about to leave when suddenly he thought of something and slapped himself.

He had been focusing on cultivation all these years and hadn't paid much attention to formations. He had forgotten that he had obtained a sound transmission formation before.

Previously, there was no need to set it up in the Lin family's mountain, but now that they had this piece of land, they could set it up.

With the sound transmission formation, the two places could communicate at any time, which was much better than using crushed talismans. Although setting up this formation was more costly and required more materials, it was not a problem for the Lin family now.

In recent years, the matters concerning the family's contributions had become more mature. Not only could they complete tasks and exchange contribution points for items, but they could also fill the family treasury with items that could be exchanged for contribution points. Over the years, the Lin family's treasury had become increasingly abundant, with items ranging from first to third rank. These items could be exchanged for contribution points by the future generations of the family. As for the things used for family matters, they were not needed.

This sound transmission formation was set up for the family, so they could freely use the materials in the treasury, and all the materials were available.

Afterwards, when he returned to the Lin family's mountain, Lin Qing first set up the main formation of the sound transmission formation in the mountain, and then set up the sub-formation in the mining site. As long as there were spirit stones, the formations could communicate with each other, making it extremely convenient.

Moreover, with this formation, they were much safer. In the future, the communication between the two places would be under their control.

After setting up the formations, Lin Qing thought of Lin Xusi again. If there were Foundation Building Pills, Lin Xusi would probably have already reached the Foundation Building stage. But until now, he was still at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and had become increasingly silent over the years. It wasn't just Lin Xusi, the other members of the family also needed Foundation Building Pills.

But in recent years, the Lin family had made a lot of effort, but Foundation Building Pills were still nowhere to be found. Even Foundation Building Grass, they hadn't obtained a single one in all these years.

The herbs planted in the family's medicinal field were only a few decades old. It was estimated that they wouldn't be able to use them even if they lived until they died. They had to seek help from outside for this matter.

Lin Qing sometimes thought that among the immortal cultivation families that had been wiped out in recent years, there might be Foundation Building Grass among them. With the current strength of the Lin family, they could rank in the top ten among the Zhao Kingdom's families. Even if he only brought the Purple Gold Toad, he could still wipe out a small Foundation Building family. Many families had a long heritage, but their strength was not that strong. Perhaps after wiping out such a family, they could obtain Foundation Building Grass and solve the problem in one fell swoop.

This idea had been lingering in Lin Qing's mind since he couldn't obtain Foundation Building Grass.

In fact, it was normal for Lin Qing to have such thoughts. The immortal cultivation world may seem glamorous, but it was actually a game of big fish eating small fish. If the big fish didn't eat the small fish, how could they grow?

The Lin family was not considered a small fish now, but they were not big either. If they wanted to continue growing, they needed nourishment.

And now, they couldn't obtain it through spirit stones alone. They had to think of another way.

However, Lin Qing had been hesitating. This method seemed simple, but it also had many problems. First, how could they determine which families had Foundation Building Grass and which didn't? If they wiped out a family and found that they had many treasures but no Foundation Building Grass, then all their efforts would be in vain. Second, although the Zhao Kingdom was chaotic now, some order still remained. The Lin family, sitting on Lin family's mountain, already felt like they were taking advantage of the situation. They couldn't leave any handle for others. If they left a handle, they might not be able to obtain Foundation Building Grass, and the Lin family's mountain would be lost, which would be a loss not worth the gain.

In recent years, there had been no trouble with the Wuji Sect, but Lin Qing didn't think that the Wuji Sect had no plans. They might be planning something for the Lin family's mountain. If they did such a thing and it was exposed, the Wuji Sect would have a good reason to eliminate the Lin family. It was something that even the casual cultivators would support, and Qingfeng Sect wouldn't be able to stop it.
