I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 405: Frost Immortal Technique

Lin Qing didn't say anything and took the storage bag. Upon opening it, he found that there were nearly a hundred martial arts manuals inside.

However, as soon as he flipped through a few of them, he immediately understood why Huang Fan had been emphasizing that these martial arts were of low rank.

The few martial arts manuals he opened were all only suitable for cultivation up to the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Even cultivators with a little bit of wealth would look down on these martial arts, let alone him. In the world of cultivation, they belonged to the kind that no one wanted to cultivate and couldn't be sold even if they tried.

To be honest, if Lin Qing were to create a few martial arts techniques with his current cultivation level, it wouldn't be a problem for him to reach the late stage of Foundation Building. With a little more effort, he could even create Purple Mansion stage techniques based on his experience. Although the quality might not be high, it would still be sufficient for basic cultivation.

From this, it could be seen that these martial arts were of low rank. Lin Qing thought that the reason why Huang Fan kept these martial arts was not because he didn't want to sell them, but because they simply couldn't be sold.

However, with the water-based martial arts he had seen before, Lin Qing patiently continued to flip through them one by one.

To his surprise, out of the hundreds of martial arts manuals, not a single one could be cultivated up to the Foundation Building stage. It was truly unbelievable. It would be quite difficult for him to gather so many low-level martial arts in a short time. After all, the martial arts stored in the Lin family's scripture pavilion could all be cultivated up to the Foundation Building stage. There were no such inferior martial arts.

While Lin Qing was flipping through the manuals, Huang Fan stood motionless beside him. He didn't dare to say anything, but he kept guessing and even felt a bit desperate, afraid that Lin Qing, as a senior, would directly search his soul if he didn't like something.

Speaking of which, living among mortals as a cultivator was mostly a very good experience. They could have whatever they wanted and didn't have to worry about getting sick like mortals. They could enjoy all kinds of benefits. But the only downside was encountering cultivators of higher cultivation levels. At this time, it would be extremely embarrassing, as life and death were at the mercy of others.

Moreover, people like them wouldn't have anyone seeking revenge for them if they died. Even good friends who had a good relationship before, when one party decided to enter the mortal world, it was equivalent to giving up on the path of immortality. Over time, they would have less and less contact with each other.

This was also the reason why many cultivators in the cultivation world wanted to join a sect. After all, with a sect as a backing, others wouldn't easily make a move against them. Safety would be somewhat guaranteed, and over time, they could enjoy some benefits of power.

As Lin Qing continued to flip through the manuals, he quickly finished reading the hundreds of low-level martial arts.

What Huang Fan didn't expect was that this senior not only wasn't angry, but also had a pleased expression as he continuously looked at a particular martial art manual.

"Frost Immortal Technique? The name of this martial art is grand, but in reality, it can only be cultivated up to the late stage of Qi Refining, and the cultivation speed is extremely slow. Why would this senior be interested in this martial art?" Huang Fan was full of doubts. He himself cultivated a water-based martial art, and he had some understanding of this Frost Immortal Technique. But as he said, this martial art had an extremely slow cultivation speed and couldn't be considered a good martial art.

What he didn't know was that Lin Qing was becoming more and more delighted.

He had already memorized the martial art he had seen at the stall in Xiao Rongfang. Now, as he compared it bit by bit, although there were many differences, if his guess was correct, that martial art was clearly a simplified version derived from this Frost Immortal Technique. Although this Frost Immortal Technique could only be cultivated up to the late stage of Qi Refining, unlike those martial arts that could only be cultivated up to the late stage of Qi Refining that were created from scratch, this martial art clearly had a follow-up. It was just that it hadn't been discovered yet. Moreover, other low-level cultivators might not be able to see it, but in his eyes, it was clearly a water-based martial art that was more advanced than the Good Water Divine Technique, very extraordinary. Even if it was only at the Qi Refining stage, it made Lin Qing's eyes light up.

"I ask you, do you have any impression of this martial art? Is it a heritage of your family?" Lin Qing held up the Frost Immortal Technique and asked Huang Fan.

Huang Fan quickly said, "Senior, as far as I can remember, this technique was in my family, but it is a low-level technique. No one has practiced it until now. I have kept it in my storage bag as a collection, and I don't know anything else."

"So, there's only this one copy?" Lin Qing's face darkened.

Huang Fan hesitated for a moment but decided to tell the truth, "Yes, as far as I know, there is only this one copy. However, as I mentioned earlier, many high-level techniques have been lost or sold over the years. There might still be some out there, but currently, I only have this one. May I ask, Senior, is there something wrong with this technique?"

Seeing Lin Qing pressing for answers, Huang Fan naturally thought that this technique might not be so simple. However, as he said, he had only seen this one copy.

Lin Qing looked at Huang Fan and knew that he was not deceiving him. At this moment, he felt somewhat helpless. He didn't expect that his investigation would lead to this result. As for continuing to investigate the follow-up techniques of the Frost Immortal Art, he couldn't afford to spend any more time on it. He simply didn't know where to start.

Finding Huang Fan and the clues provided by that cultivator, Lin Qing realized that even Huang Fan might not know much about this technique.

"Oh, does your Huang family have other people?" Lin Qing suddenly thought of something and asked.

Upon hearing this question, Huang Fan quickly replied, "Senior, there are other people in our Huang family, but besides the techniques they practice themselves, all the techniques passed down in our Huang family are kept with me. They don't have any others. I can be considered the highest-ranking member of our Huang family."

"Oh?" Lin Qing looked at Huang Fan, who was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and observed his expression. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"So, you're saying that your Huang family has no other clues about this technique?" Lin Qing asked again, unwilling to give up.

On this point, Huang Fan hesitated, and Lin Qing looked at him.

"Senior, when I was young, I did hear my grandfather mention that our Huang family is actually a branch of the Huang family in Zhongzhou. We migrated from Zhongzhou to Cangzhou back then."

"Hmm? This..." Lin Qing was greatly surprised for a moment and had a feeling of a breakthrough.

"Are you saying that your Huang family is actually a branch of the Huang family in Zhongzhou, and you are not the main family?" Lin Qing said so, but in his heart, he was excited, thinking that if that were the case, there might still be some clues. Perhaps the Huang family in Zhongzhou had the follow-up parts of this technique.

"Senior, I can't guarantee the specifics. I only heard a little bit from my grandfather, and I can't give you a definite answer," Huang Fan spoke again. He regretted mentioning this because he didn't know if it was true or not. If he offended Lin Qing, it would be troublesome.
