Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 103 The Motives for War: Are They Related to Me?
No matter how much Su Yuejiao tried to persuade him, Lin Qingyao insisted on returning to the sect with Xie Ling Shuang and refused to stay in the family for even a day longer.

Su Yuejiao told her husband, Lin Changyue, about the matter.

Upon hearing this, Lin Changyue actually agreed with his son Lin Qingyao's idea.

At such a critical moment, one cannot be a deserter. Even if one stays in the clan longer and delays the return to the sect, it would not be good, let alone not return to the Xuanbing Hall.

Even if the Xuanbing Hall doesn't care about a nobody like him and won't deliberately pursue the matter, once the news spreads that he fled home out of fear of war and his fellow disciples find out, how will he live in the sect in the future?
not to mention.

Lin Qingyao is now safe to return to his sect and doesn't need to go to the battlefield.

His wife, Su Yuejiao, was blinded by concern and, out of worry for her son's safety, she became short-sighted and narrow-minded.

but……

Lin Changyue was still somewhat unhappy about Lin Qingyao's 'unwavering loyalty' to the Xuanbing Hall.

Once your cultivation reaches the late stage of Qi Refining, you're expected to go to the battlefield? If necessary, you'd be willing to die for your sect.

He's only been at the Xuanbing Hall for a few years? How many resources did the Xuanbing Hall give him that made him so devoted to the sect?

They seem to have forgotten that they are first and foremost a member of the Lin family, and only secondly a disciple of the Xuanbing Hall!

to this end.

Before Lin Qingyao left, Lin Changyue also had a private talk with him, wanting to correct his viewpoint.

“Father, of course I will never forget that I am a member of the Lin family and that the blood of the Lin family flows in my veins. I will also never forget the upbringing I received from you, Father and Mother, and the care I received from my uncles and elders like Uncle Changhong.”

"If the family is ever in danger or in need of me in the future, I will step forward without hesitation."

"But now that I've joined the Xuanbing Hall, my master, senior brothers, and senior sisters have all treated me very well. I can't just remember the kindness of my family and relatives and ignore the kindness of my sect, can I?"

"If... I have no feelings for the sect, it means I am a selfish person. How can I have strong feelings for my family then?"

Listening to his son Lin Qingyao's heartfelt explanation of his views, Lin Changyue sighed, unsure of what to say for a moment.

This explanation is indeed impeccable.

One cannot expect a person to have feelings only for their family while ignoring the kindness shown to them by their master.

That would be too disjointed.

Lin Changyue automatically projected his own experiences and feelings onto his son.

When he first joined the Xuanbing Hall, he spent more than ten years struggling in the outer sect, enduring countless cold looks and ridicule. He received almost no benefits from the sect, and all his resources were earned by completing tasks.

In the end, he was effectively expelled from the sect.

Therefore, Lin Changyue naturally had no sense of belonging to the Xuanbing Hall, and would not think of risking his life for the sect.

But Lin Qingyao is different.

He entered the Xuanbing Hall with a very high starting point, directly becoming a disciple of an elder in the late Foundation Establishment stage. His fellow disciples must have been very friendly to him, and he enjoyed many benefits and good treatment.

In addition, he was only 14 years old when he joined the Xuanbing Hall, and was not considered mature.

At this age, and with this kind of treatment, it's quite normal for him to be influenced by the sect and consider himself a member of it.

Therefore, after calming down, Lin Changyue realized that he couldn't expect his son to have the same values ​​as him.

Different experiences will inevitably shape different perceptions.

As long as Lin Qingyao doesn't forget his ancestors, that's fine.

As for some things, there's no need to say them now.

For example, how good would the Xuanbing Hall be to him? How sincere were his master Shi Ren and his senior brothers and sisters towards him?

How many resources will be invested in him?

Lin Qingyao is willing to die for the sect, but if he encounters danger or difficulties, will he be abandoned for personal gain?
These are all open to discussion.

to be frank.

Lin Changyue did not believe that his son Lin Qingyao would receive top-tier treatment in the Xuanbing Hall. He even questioned whether he would be able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill when he reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and attempted to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
After all, Lin Qingyao's talent was top-notch among Foundation Establishment families, but only average among the inner disciples of the Profound Weapon Hall.

Even though Shi Ren thought highly of him, he couldn't break the sect's rules.

Unless he is willing to share some of his resources with Lin Qingyao.

“Since you have made your decision, I will not stop you. However, you must remember that whether you want to contribute to the sect or repay the family in the future, you must remember that your own life is the most important thing.”

"Why did the Xuanbing Hall not allow disciples below the late stage of Qi Refining to go to the battlefield when this war broke out? Because their cultivation is too weak. Even if they are willing to sacrifice for the sect, it would be a useless sacrifice and they would not be able to help at all."

"So when you encounter a problem, you have to think about whether you can make a greater contribution to the sect if you survive and your cultivation level is higher in the future."

Lin Changyue did not tell his son about the nakedly vested interests involved.

It's good in some ways to retain some youthful spirit.

Moreover, this kid has always been like this since he was a child. Once he's made up his mind, it's hard for others to change it. Forcibly intervening will only backfire.

“Alright, your Aunt Xie will be leaving soon, you can go with her,” Lin Changyue said.

"Thank you, Father. I have remembered your words." Lin Qingyao nodded solemnly, and then added, "Please ask Father to persuade Mother as well."

Lin Changyue waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about your mother. She's just reluctant to part with you. She can understand the reasons behind it."

……

The following year.

Lin Changyue moved from the Lin family estate to Qixing Island Market with most of his wives, concubines, and children.

Lin Changgeng, who had previously guarded Seven Star Island, led about one-sixth of his clansmen and secretly bypassed the front line of the battle between the two major sects to Liaoyuan Immortal City.

Four of Lin Changyue's many children also went to Liaoyuan Immortal City. Among them was Lin Qingxiao, whose spiritual root aptitude was as high as the fourth grade.

A fourth-grade spiritual root is considered a rare genius among many Foundation Establishment families. Among Lin Changyue's many children, apart from Lin Qingyan, who was born to Qin Li a couple of years ago, Lin Qingxiao has the best spiritual root aptitude.

Lin Qingxiao is only 12 years old, but his cultivation level has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. He and Lin Qingyao were included in the family's key training program at a young age.

However, compared to Lin Qingyao's active nature and mischievousness since childhood, who yearned for the outside world, Lin Qingxiao's personality was somewhat 'dull' or rather, calm. He didn't need supervision when he was very young and worked very hard in his cultivation, which made Lin Changyue very worry-free.

This may have been influenced by his mother, Zhou Zirong.

Zhou Zirong carries a deep-seated hatred, as her family was destroyed by evil cultivators. Her greatest obsession is to find the murderer who destroyed her family after she reaches the Foundation Establishment stage.

Among Lin Changyue's many wives, Zhou Zirong was the most unconventional and taciturn.

Although she did not transfer her will to her son, Lin Qingxiao could sense it to some extent.

Therefore, Lin Changyue believes that Lin Qingxiao's calm personality was influenced by his mother.

In fact, over the years, Lin Changyue has been investigating, both openly and secretly, the tragic case of his wife Zhou Zirong's family being wiped out.

If the evil cultivators who wiped out his clan could be found, Lin Changyue would naturally be willing to avenge his wife.

Unfortunately, nothing came of it.

However, driven by hatred and with the resources provided by Lin Changyue, Zhou Zirong's cultivation progressed rapidly. With the cultivation of a fifth-grade spiritual root, at the age of forty-three, she became the first among all the wives, apart from the special Fairy Qin, to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

In another year or two, once she has accumulated enough and replenished her foundation, she will be able to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Lin Changyue felt quite sorry for his wife, Zhou Zirong, especially since she was talented and hardworking.

He planned to give the last Foundation Establishment Pill to Zhou Zirong.

With his current strength and talisman skills, obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill is no longer a difficult task.

If his wives are able to raise their cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining before the age of sixty, Lin Changyue will then seek out Foundation Establishment Pills for them.

For example, women like Su Yuejiao.

During this year, Lin Changyue's talisman transactions with Xuanbing Hall went very smoothly.

He provided the Xuanbing Hall with a large number of second-tier low-grade and mid-grade talismans. Although he did not earn too many spirit stones, he obtained a large amount of third-tier materials from the Xuanbing Hall's inventory.

He now has seven Tier 7 talismans in his possession!
Four of them are attack type, two are defense type, and two are small teleportation spells!

With these seven third-tier talismans, coupled with his powerful physical body and divine soul, Lin Changyue was not afraid at all, even when facing a True Person in the early stage of Core Formation.

Besides talismans.

His spirit beast, the Crimson Feather Bird, did not disappoint him. It did not waste the two third-tier demon beast blood jades and finally upgraded its own superior bloodline to earth-grade!
His cultivation level is already close to the peak of the first-tier upper grade.

If I settle down for a few more years, I might be able to advance to the second tier naturally.

After all, it's almost easier for a demon beast with an Earth-grade bloodline to break through to the second tier than for a cultivator with an Earth-spirit root to establish their foundation.

As for the war between the Xuanbing Hall and the Liuli Sect, after the initial fierce clashes, the two sides have now entered a tug-of-war phase.

Although neither side could gain the upper hand immediately and neither could defeat the other, both sides were determined and neither was willing to back down or give in.

There is absolutely no intention to end the war.

Even though the Qingming Sword Sect, one of the most prestigious sects in the cultivation world of Yu Kingdom, sent envoys to negotiate peace, both sides refused.

There are various rumors circulating about the specific reasons why the two major sects started the war, but so far there is no reliable, official information.

There is only one clue that can confirm the general situation.

That is, this war was mainly started by the Glazed Tile School, and it is very likely related to the legacy of the strongest sect leader in the history of the Glazed Tile School, 'Illusory Heart True Man'.

Rumors circulated that the most powerful sect leader of the Glazed Tile School, True Person Illusionary Heart, once had a great chance to break through to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch, but for some unknown reason, he failed at the last moment.

Furthermore, Master Huanxin did not perish within the Liuli Sect, which resulted in his legacy and many treasures being scattered outside.

However, a few years ago, the Glazed Tile School seemed to have suddenly discovered traces of the legacy of True Person Illusion Heart, and discovered True Person Illusion Heart's natal magic weapon, the Soul-Guiding Bell, and thus began a large-scale investigation.

The specific results of the investigation are unknown, but it is certain that the lineage of Master Huanxin has not been recovered.

And then... the Glazed Tile School went to war with the Mysterious Weapon Hall!

Therefore, there is a fairly reliable rumor circulating that the Xuanbing Hall obtained the inheritance of the Illusionary Heart Immortal, and the Glazed Tile School wanted to reclaim it, but the Xuanbing Hall refused.

Enraged, the Liuli Sect vowed to raze the Xuanbing Hall to the ground.

When Lin Changyue received this news, he was quite frightened.

If the Xuanbing Hall and the Liuli Sect really fought because of the inheritance of the Illusionary Heart Immortal, then wouldn't he also be considered half a player in the game?

after all.

He not only cultivates the most authentic and upgraded version of the secret technique Seven-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Manual of the Glazed Sect, but also has a true treasure refined by True Person Illusion Heart, who extracted a portion of the power from his natal magic weapon!
"Could it be that the great battle between these two Core Formation sects really started because of me?"

An absurd thought suddenly popped into Lin Changyue's mind.

"No, no. This has nothing to do with me. I didn't receive any of Master Huanxin's inheritance or treasures. Everything I received was a system reward!"

Lin Changyue shook his head, banishing the terrible thought from his mind.

If that's the case, he should be living in fear and unable to sleep well.

Moreover, even if he indirectly obtained a part of the inheritance of the Illusionary Heart True Man, he never framed the Profound Weapon Hall!

The fact that the Glazed Tile School launched a war against the Mysterious Weapon Hall must mean that they had found some solid evidence. The Mysterious Weapon Hall may indeed possess the legacy and treasures of the Illusionary Heart Immortal.
