I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 216: Mid-stage of Purple Mansion

Lin Qing called for Lin Zhiling. Upon seeing her, it was indeed true that she was at the Foundation Building stage. Although Lin Zhiling's appearance slightly surprised Lin Qing, at this moment, Lin Qing did not have the same gentle attitude towards Lin Xuchang. Instead, she asked directly, "How did you achieve Foundation Building?"

"Ancestor, I..."

After achieving Foundation Building, Lin Zhiling, who was originally overjoyed, now felt a bit scared. She didn't dare to speak in front of their Lin family's ancestor.

"What's the matter? Speak boldly," Lin Qing said. If there really was a method that could allow someone with five spiritual roots to achieve Foundation Building, it would be even more beneficial for their Lin family.

"Ancestor, this matter is related to my husband. I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly. Why not let my husband explain?" Lin Zhiling said.

Her husband, mentioned by Lin Zhiling, was none other than Fan Dan Shi. The two of them were deeply in love and had a very good relationship. Over the years, they had already had three children.

"Then call him over," Lin Qing nodded.

Soon, Fan Dan Shi arrived. When he saw Lin Qing, he was extremely fearful. Although he was at the Foundation Building stage and had joined the Lin family, it was not easy to see Lin Qing, the ancestor of the Lin family.

"You must be Fan Dan Shi. Speak," Lin Qing said.

"I... This matter is a long story," Fan Dan Shi hesitated.

"Then take your time."

Hearing Lin Qing's words, Fan Dan Shi also knew that he couldn't hide it any longer today. He thought to himself that this matter was not a big deal either, so he began to explain. He talked about how they had attacked the Wuji Sect in the beginning and how they had gained benefits that improved Lin Zhiling's aptitude. He also mentioned how they had been taking a large amount of high-quality elixirs over the years to achieve Foundation Building.

After listening, Lin Qing was somewhat disappointed.

Improving aptitude through precious medicine was probably not replicable. Lin Zhiling being able to obtain the Starry Sky Flower from Fan Dan Shi was probably just her good fortune.

"There's only one of this flower?" Lin Qing asked finally.

"Ancestor, it's absolutely true. This flower is extremely precious. The Wuji Sect only has this one, and I don't have a second one," Fan Dan Shi said. This was the truth. He only had this one.

Lin Qing nodded and then said, "Fan Dan Shi, although you have married into our Lin family, using such a precious item on our Lin family members shows your sincerity. How do you plan to compensate?"

"Ancestor, I am already satisfied with marrying into the Lin family. I have no other requests," Fan Dan Shi looked at Lin Zhiling and said sincerely.

At this moment, Lin Qing looked at Lin Zhiling's appearance and thought to herself that everyone's fate was different. With such a good appearance, she could truly become her own opportunity.

"Zhiling, in the future, although you have achieved Foundation Building, you must not forget Fan Dan Shi's contribution. You two should help and support each other, love each other, and go further on the path of cultivation," Lin Qing said to Lin Zhiling.

"Ancestor, Zhiling will always remember your words today. My husband and I will never separate in this lifetime," Lin Zhiling said, and tears welled up in Fan Dan Shi's eyes.

"You may go now," Lin Qing said.

And then Lin Zhiling and Fan Dan Shi took their leave, watching the scene where they smiled at each other as soon as they left the door, Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh.

The path of cultivation is long, but seeing the growth of the younger generation is also a gratifying thing.

Five years later, Lin Qing broke through to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion, which surprised the Zhao Kingdom.

No one expected that the first to break through would be the latest Purple Mansion master of the Lin family. This was even more shocking than when Daoist Chiyang broke through to the later stage of the Purple Mansion.

At that time, the master of the Wuji Sect was still present, and the Zhao Kingdom already had one person in the later stage of the Purple Mansion, so when Daoist Chiyang broke through, everyone just congratulated him. But now, with the situation in the Zhao Kingdom being considered as only in the early stage of the Purple Mansion, Lin Qing's breakthrough to the mid-stage could change the situation.

Since Lin Qing's breakthrough, the Lin family has received too many congratulations.

Not only from other forces, but also from various well-known families in the Zhao Kingdom, and some renowned Foundation Building cultivators. The Lin family was overwhelmed with receiving gifts.

Lin Qing himself didn't feel much. After his spiritual roots were upgraded to Tian Shui spiritual roots, and with the Shanshui Divine Art, a technique that suited him extremely well, this breakthrough was just going with the flow. There were no bottlenecks, just a natural progression.

Not to mention the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion, there would be no bottleneck for him in the later stage of the Purple Mansion in the future.

After learning of Lin Qing's breakthrough, the other mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivators in the Zhao Kingdom felt a bit uncomfortable. They had broken through earlier and worked hard in their daily cultivation, but the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion was like an insurmountable barrier for them.

Senior cultivators Hua and Qin from the Bai Bao Tower were still fine. They had the opportunity to continue cultivating and have a chance to break through. But for Senior Hu from the Xianxia Sect, it could be said that without a great opportunity in this lifetime, it would be difficult for him to break through and he would remain in the early stage of the Purple Mansion.

This was the norm in the cultivation world. The further one progressed, the more bottlenecks there were. Even breaking through a small barrier required giving it their all to have a slight chance.

Of course, this was also related to the position of the Zhao Kingdom. The Zhao Kingdom was already a remote place in the vast Yunzhou, and its own strength was not strong, so breaking through was so difficult. If it were in other places, not to mention higher realms, the Purple Mansion would be easier.

But who could leave the Zhao Kingdom? Take Senior Hu from the Xianxia Sect for example. Although he had the status of an elder in the Xianxia Sect in the Zhao Kingdom, he enjoyed the same benefits as the sect master. He didn't need to worry about anything in his daily life, and he could freely use the third-grade spiritual veins. If he went to other places, well...

The Xianxia Sect would not let him go to other places.

It would consume too many resources for a sect to cultivate a Purple Mansion cultivator. After becoming a Purple Mansion cultivator, it would not be easy to let them leave. If they left, the sect's strength would weaken, and if the enemy attacked, it would be disastrous.

Even if they left, they would face many problems outside. In the Zhao Kingdom, their prominent status and lack of trust outside would be a problem. They might even encounter unforeseen circumstances, so it was difficult to leave.

This also resulted in the current situation in the Zhao Kingdom, where everyone except Lin Qing was in the early stage of the Purple Mansion.

In other words, with the resources of the Zhao Kingdom itself, they couldn't support too many mid to late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators. If they were to go to other places, they would face even fiercer competition. Currently, the Zhao Kingdom is still recovering its strength, and it is not easy to even protect itself.

Now, all they can do is continue to improve. For Lin Qing himself, if he can upgrade the third-grade spiritual veins of the Lin family mountain to the fourth-grade, his own strength will definitely greatly increase.

Understanding this, Lin Qing shook his head and smiled. In the end, their Lin family was following the same path as the Wuji Sect.

For so many years, the Wuji Sect has been focusing on upgrading the spiritual veins. Fortunately, they have not succeeded. If they had succeeded, the current situation in the Zhao Kingdom would not be like this.

Thinking of his own family, Lin Qing couldn't be sure if the third-grade superior spiritual veins of the Lin family mountain could be upgraded to the fourth-grade. Now, all he can do is continue to work hard. Of course, this matter is not urgent at the moment. The third-grade superior spiritual veins can support at least five or six Purple Mansion cultivators without any problem.

The matter of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion caused a commotion in the Zhao Kingdom for half a month before finally subsiding. After that, when cultivators mentioned the Lin family mountain, they no longer saw it as a family, but as an existence on the same level as the Qingfeng Sect and the Xianxia Sect.
