Chapter 13 Each with their own plans
Chapter 13 Each with their own plans
In the monk's port, there is a prime location for opening a brothel.
With a little thought, one can easily figure out who the real person behind it is.
The cultivators in the endless sea suffer greatly!
We lack land, and we lack precious materials.
Of course, the biggest shortage is still people!
There is a lack of people with spiritual roots.
Therefore, the Su family resorted to this desperate measure, sending the descendants of their ancestors who had been cultivators to the Ancient Dao Tower.
Whether they were cultivators from the mainland who had crossed the ocean or naive young men from nearby Foundation Establishment families.
If one cannot control oneself and leaves behind a child, the likelihood of that child having spiritual roots is much higher than that of two ordinary people!
Of the more than 1,000 cultivators in the Su family today, about 30% were born and raised in this manner.
"Hey, I don't know if it's just a coincidence or if the Su family has a master."
From a scientific perspective, children born to parents from two very different places are more intelligent.
Lin Qing muttered to himself, but couldn't help glancing at the Ancient Road Tower a few more times.
In front of the building, various "flowers" are "blooming" in a flamboyant manner, some are still in bud, and some are already in full bloom.
...
"Thank you for your kind offer, Brother Su. I'll trouble you again next time I have the chance."
Lin Qing quickly regained her composure, cupped her hands in greeting, and declined Su Wending's kind invitation.
The group strode away without looking back.
Oh, Lin Yunzhou was about to turn around and look when his fifth uncle's hat mercilessly covered his face.
Su Wending had been smiling and waving his folding fan, but once they were really far away, the smile on his face completely disappeared.
"The Lin family of Wanling, thanks to the hard work and dedication of the older generation, now has worthy successors!"
These representatives, sent to receive cultivators from all walks of life, were not merely there to verify identities or help Gu Dao Lou attract business.
The biggest task is to gather intelligence on the surrounding families! Keep a close eye on the movements of their potential leaders!
Lin Qing is so young now, yet he doesn't indulge in sensual pleasures.
Based on what he had overheard, it wasn't hard to deduce that Lin Qing was the next candidate for Foundation Establishment Core Stage in the Lin family.
……
Lin Shengfeng was extremely anxious the whole way, but he had no way to properly expose Su Wending's little scheme.
Fortunately, Lin Qing is young but composed.
No wonder he is such a promising talent, praised by our ancestors.
He's probably no worse than Lin Yunfeng, who was sent to the Starry Sky Sect.
The Star Constellation Sect exploits its vassals severely, requiring them not only to pay regular tributes and stipulate that they cannot refuse when recruited, but also to "send" the most talented young men in the clan with the best spiritual roots every sixty years as reserve talents for the Star Constellation Sect.
They euphemistically call it: "We are all in this together, united as one."
But how much of it is true and how much is false, who can really tell?
Before Lin Qing was born, the Lin family had just produced a person with a superior spiritual root, named Lin Yunfeng.
Somehow, the Starry Sky Sect found out about it and, using some excuse, "selected" the person away!
More than thirty years have passed since then.
Lin Yunfeng's biological father, Lin Shenglei, was also burdened by this, and it wasn't until the family finally managed to gather a Foundation Establishment Pill that he was able to resolve the issue.
This hope of the "Sheng" generation failed at the crucial moment of spiritual consciousness.
...
Lost in thought, they arrived at a two-courtyard shop located outside the Second Ring Road in Wanfufang.
"Lin Hexuan".
There's a two-story building in front. The first floor houses an exhibition hall and a simple reception area.
The second floor houses the quiet rooms for the presiding elders and VIPs.
The two floors behind are for everyone to rest and for Lin Shenghong to refine weapons.
After Lin Shenghong and his wife returned to their family home, the Lin family shop on Wanfu Island was taken over and managed by their former deputy, Lin Shengrong.
In addition, female cultivators from the Lin family, including Lin Shengshuang and Lin Yunyue, were also stationed here.
Lin Yunyue and Lin Yunhe are half-siblings.
So when Lin Yunhe exaggeratedly described how beautiful and charming those "flowers" were from afar, Lin Yunyue ran over in a flash.
"Oh, Brother He, what brings you here?"
Yunyue excitedly waved her fair, jade-like arm and shouted.
Then she saw her fifth uncle wearing a hat next to her and couldn't help but laugh:
"Fifth Uncle is here too!"
"This is?…"
Finally, she hesitated for a moment before asking Lin Qing, who had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes:
"Could it be Qing-ge'er?"
Lin Qing nodded with a smile: "Hello, Tenth Sister."
Lin Yunyue blushed instantly and subconsciously pulled her exposed, fair arm back into place.
He stuck out his tongue before replying softly:
"Hello, Sixth Brother."
In fact, although they address each other in this way according to seniority, their blood relationship actually extends beyond the fifth degree of kinship.
Therefore, when facing the most dazzling young man in the family, Lin Yunyue, who was always enthusiastic and lively, became somewhat shy.
Lin Yunhe quickly stepped forward and asked with concern:
"Sis, you've lost so much weight!"
Lin Yunyue sighed and pouted:
"After Aunt Xiu went back, the food at Wanfu Market was not good and was expensive."
...
The group chatted as they walked into "Lin He Xuan".
Lin Shengfeng led Lin Qing upstairs, where they first paid their respects to Lin Shengrong and then handed over all the goods.
Lin Shengfeng pulled down the brim of his hat and said in a deep voice to Lin Shengrong, who was dressed as a wealthy man:
"Brother Rong, there's something else very important I need to tell you."
"We need to ask a formation master to properly set up our spirit ship."
Lin Shengrong has a square face and long eyebrows that droop to the corners of his eyes.
Hearing this, he was taken aback at first, then frowned:
"Array masters are hard to find."
As the saying goes...
"Alchemy impoverishes a generation, while learning formations ruins a lifetime." Formations require talent; it's impossible to create them by simply piling up materials like alchemy or weapon forging!
Lin Shengfeng naturally understood this principle, as he himself was also skilled in spirit ship techniques and had some knowledge of array formations and restrictions.
It was precisely because of this "rough encounter" that he wanted to take this opportunity to improve the defensive capabilities of the Lin family's second-tier low-grade spirit ship.
He was confident that he could maximize the speed of the second-tier spirit ship by inscribing three more array patterns.
At that time, he can also make an additional contribution to the demon-slaying operation!
Unfortunately, Lin Shengrong, who had spent a long time in the market, obviously had no chance to come into contact with such talents.
After waiting quietly for the two elders to finish their conversation, Lin Qing handed over the ancestor's communication talisman.
Lin Shengrong's long eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, then he took the item without making a sound, brought it to his ear, and activated it with his spiritual power.
"Life is glorious..."
Lin Shengrong listened calmly to the ancestor's telepathic message, his fingers unconsciously stroking the lid of the teacup.
"Qing'er, although you are now at the seventh level of Qi Refining, wouldn't adding these worldly matters hinder your cultivation?"
"After all, according to the ancestor's intentions, the demon-slaying operation will probably take about ten years."
After a long pause, Lin Shengrong casually asked.
Lin Qing smiled upon hearing this and nodded, explaining:
"Uncle Rong, Uncle Feng."
"I believe that with you in charge, Qing's cultivation will not be delayed."
Hearing this, Lin Shengfeng didn't react much. Lin Shengrong couldn't help but smile.
Lin Qing knew perfectly well that her parents had been in charge for many years. She had finally hoped they would leave, and now, just a few months later, they had welcomed their son!
Even within the same family, resentment can easily arise.
So Lin Qing came up and first reassured me: I'm here, but I won't hold onto power!
