Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 112 Middle Stage of Foundation Building
After leaving the Jin family, Yan Yunxiu and her senior sister Xiao Wanqiu quickly boarded a flying boat.

The flying boat was controlled by Yan Yunxiu, while Xiao Wanqiu was meditating to heal her injuries.

After resting for half an hour, Xiao Wanqiu withdrew from her meditation.

Her injuries were not too serious.

However, the damage to his soul was far too great.

Originally, she would pay a great price to use her Divine Soul Sword Qi, and would fall into a period of weakness after using it, and would not be able to use it a second time for half a year.

This time, instead of achieving victory by unleashing the Divine Soul Sword Qi, he was suppressed and utterly defeated, resulting in a severe backlash.

With such severe injuries to her soul, she was no longer able to recover on her own.

After taking a soul-sustaining treasure to temporarily suppress her injuries and prevent them from worsening, she needed to hurry back to the headquarters of the Myriad Elephants Chamber of Commerce to ask her master, True Person Xuanji, for help in treating her soul injuries.

otherwise.

If this drags on for too long, it will have a huge negative impact on her future potential.

Xiao Wanqiu was worried and very depressed.

During her trip to the cultivation world of Yu Kingdom, she even managed to navigate the battlefield with ease, handling the various Core Formation cultivators with remarkable skill.

Unexpectedly, this calamity befell a small Foundation Establishment family.

I am extremely frustrated.

Lost in grief over the separation from her childhood sweetheart, Yan Yunxiu was oblivious to her senior sister's mood. Seeing her emerge from her cultivation and notice her complexion improving, she couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister, do we really need to be so wary of Lin Changyue? Even if he's quite strong, with his body refinement and soul cultivation exceeding expectations, he's still just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, without any background or backing. Why should our Myriad Elephant Merchant Guild be so subservient to him?"

Xiao Wanqiu said irritably, "Who said he doesn't have any backing? You can believe hearsay?"

Yan Yunxiu said in confusion, "This is not hearsay. The Lin family has been under the command of the Xuanbing Hall for two or three hundred years, and their foundation is very clear. The Jin family would not make a mistake in this regard."

Xiao Wanqiu asked, "Alright, if what you say is true, that Lin Changyue has no background or powerful backing, then how did he cultivate his body-refining technique to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, even comparable to a pseudo-Core Formation cultivator? And how is his soul so much stronger than mine? Where did he get his cultivation technique and so many resources?"

Yan Yunxiu didn't know how to answer, and stammered, "Perhaps he had a miraculous encounter."

"Even if it was just a stroke of luck, someone with such great fortune has an unlimited future. If we don't have absolute certainty of killing him in one blow, then we must resolve our grudges!" Xiao Wanqiu admonished sternly.

What kind of potential does a cultivator with a superficial cultivation level of only the early stage of Foundation Establishment have, whose strength already surpasses that of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator and is virtually invincible, possess?

If one can break through the Core Formation bottleneck in the future and enter the upper echelons of the cultivation world, that would be even more unimaginable.

Even the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce would likely have to treat them with the utmost respect.

“However…” Xiao Wanqiu suddenly seemed to think of something and frowned, “Lin Changyue’s soul cultivation technique is strangely familiar, and seems to be somewhat similar to that of the Glazed Tile Sect.”

Xiao Wanqiu's consciousness, accompanied by the sword energy of the divine soul, entered Xiao Changqing's sea of ​​consciousness for the first time.

Although they were immediately suppressed upon entering, they still managed to catch a quick glimpse and understand some of the intricacies of the situation.

The glass pagoda in Lin Changyue's sea of ​​consciousness is somewhat similar to the soul-suppressing secret technique that only true disciples of the Glass Sect can cultivate.

of course.

Xiao Wanqiu had never fought against a true disciple of the Glazed Tile School, nor had she ever entered the other party's sea of ​​consciousness.

However, according to rumors, the Five-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture, the sect's most treasured secret technique, once successfully cultivated, is somewhat similar to the Glazed Pagoda in Lin Changyue's sea of ​​consciousness.

"But even the authentic Five-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture doesn't possess such power in the Foundation Establishment Realm, causing my sword energy to crumble upon contact, right?"

Xiao Wanqiu thought to herself, somewhat uncertainly.

The Five-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture is a supreme secret scripture that directly points to the level above the Nascent Soul stage.

He is well-known not only in the cultivation world of Yu Kingdom, but also in several nearby countries.

However, Xiao Wanqiu's own cultivation technique for refining the soul was equally powerful, and its reputation was no less than that of the Five-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture.

Logically speaking, she should be able to put up a fight even against a Foundation Establishment Realm genius from the Glazed Tile School.

The glazed tower in Lin Changyue's sea of ​​consciousness was truly strange and terrifying.

"Could it be that Lin Changyue also obtained a part of the inheritance of that Illusionary Heart True Person?"

"That True Immortal Huanxin was almost at the Nascent Soul True Monarch level back then. If one obtains his inheritance and possesses certain treasures, then the Glazed Pagoda guarding the soul is exceptionally powerful?"

Xiao Wanqiu had a sudden inspiration and thought of a possibility.

Although it was just wild guessing and completely nonsensical, I still managed to guess some connections correctly by sheer luck.

Lin Changyue is not practicing the inheritance left by the Illusionary Heart Immortal. The secret technique he practices is more orthodox than the technique of the founder of the Glazed Tile School!
However, he does indeed possess a treasure belonging to the Illusionary Heart Immortal.

A true treasure, the Soul-Guiding Bell!

"I want to find out if this Lin Changyue really has any connection with the Liuli Sect."

Xiao Wanqiu thought to herself.

……

There is no airtight wall in the world.

Although Lin Changyue did not publicize his achievements after leaving the Jin family, he simply had the Lin family announce that they had taken the initiative to annul the engagement and that the Lin family and the Jin family would have no further connection.

However, as time went on, news of Lin Changyue's actions at the Jin family gradually spread throughout the nearby cultivation world.

Not only in the Xuanbing Hall, but also in the territory of the Liuli Sect, and even further to the Liaoyuan Immortal City, the legend of Lin Changyue has begun to circulate.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator from a small family possessed a body comparable to the peak of Foundation Establishment, and an extremely powerful soul, causing Xiao Wanqiu, the Foundation Establishment genius of the Myriad Elephants Merchant Guild, to suffer a crushing defeat...

Such a terrifying record can no longer be considered as that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

At the very least, he should be treated as a fake elixir cultivator!
Moreover, this is only temporary.

Anyone with eyes can see that Lin Changyue's future potential is far beyond what a fake Core Formation cultivator can match.

Therefore, not only did the major Foundation Establishment families hold Lin Changyue in awe, but even the high-ranking members of the Xuanbing Hall who did not go to the front line and remained in the sect held a special meeting to discuss and decide whether to win him over.

But in the end, they decided to hold off for the time being.

The awkward part is that Lin Changyue was once an outer disciple of the Xuanbing Hall, having cultivated there for over ten years, but was almost expelled in the end.

In addition, after Lin Changyue demonstrated his talent in talismanic arts and became a second-tier talisman master, the Xuanbing Hall had tried to recruit him several times, both openly and secretly, but he was rejected each time.

Even if we try to recruit them now, it probably won't change anything.

Fortunately, based on past interactions, Lin Changyue does not hold a grudge against the Xuanbing Hall. In fact, he has an excellent relationship with Xie Ling Shuang, one of the most outstanding genius disciples of the Xuanbing Hall in the current era. In recent years, when the two major sects have been at war, the Lin family has also cooperated well with the Xuanbing Hall.

Therefore, there is no need to worry that Lin Changyue will become stronger in the future and thus be detrimental to the Xuanbing Hall.

The Xuanbing Hall and the Liuli Sect are currently locked in a fierce battle and cannot spare much energy. In the future, it will be sufficient to ensure that Xie Ling Shuang and Lin Chang Yue maintain a good relationship.

With the Xuanbing Hall being so cautious, one can imagine how the other Foundation Establishment families would react, and the Lin family immediately became the undisputed number one family.

While talisman geniuses may have greater strategic significance, cultivation geniuses and powerful combat strength are the real source of oppression!

Among the twenty-odd Foundation Establishment families, none possess a Pseudo-Core Formation combatant in this era; Lin Changyue is the only one of them.

The Lin family, already highly sought after, was now at its zenith, with countless people seeking cooperation. In fact, even within the Lin family itself, this caused a huge sensation, leaving many family members quite shocked.

Before this, Lin Changyue had done a good job of keeping his identity secret, and no one knew his true strength.

After the news spread, the Lin family was naturally excited at first, but then somewhat incredulous.

For half a month, elders of the Lin family came to Qixing Island Market, either on their way or specifically to inquire about the truth of Lin Changyue's matter, their trepidation mixed with reverence.

This is combat power comparable to that of a fake Core Formation cultivator.

The first one since the founding of the Lin family!
Let alone a fake core, not even a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator has ever appeared.

As for the younger generation of the Lin family, after learning the news, they were not qualified to visit Lin Changyue directly like the elders, but they gained countless fanatical fans.

They all regarded Lin Changyue as a role model for hard work and a goal to pursue in their lives.

As for the Foundation Establishment families who had previously had conflicts of interest and were secretly competing with the Lin family, they withdrew from the struggle without hesitation and handed over the interests they had disagreed with to the Lin family.

For example, the You family, which has a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge, has been fighting with the Lin family for the ownership of a second-tier spirit field for the past few years, and the two sides have even had several bloody conflicts.

The You family valued this second-tier spirit field highly and was unwilling to give it up no matter what.

As a result, after news of Lin Changyue's great victory over the top genius at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce spread, the You family hurriedly withdrew the clansmen guarding the spirit fields.

This is just one of them.

In less than two months, the Lin family acquired a total of six properties!

In this way, the Lin family not only gained fame and strength, but also became the number one Foundation Establishment family under the Xuanbing Hall in terms of territory and industry.

Moreover, the Lin family currently possesses a deterrent force second only to the Xuanbing Hall.

……

"What a fine brother Changyue!"

Upon emerging from seclusion at the Lin family's residence, Chen Ping heard the joyous news from his wife, Lin Changxuan. While deeply moved, he also felt a pang of helplessness.

After years of hard work, he's starting to want to relax a bit.

I thought that after he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he would surpass Lin Changyue and then leave Lin Changyue far behind, quickly widening the gap between them.

Unexpectedly, it was he who ended up being outpaced!
Because of the special nature of his cultivation technique, his cultivation speed was extremely fast after he reached the Foundation Establishment stage. It had only been three years since he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and he would be able to advance to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment in four or five years at most.

Before he could even feel smug, news broke that Lin Changyue possessed combat power at the pseudo-core level.

It's not just Chen Ping.

Even his grandfather, Uncle Li, was shocked for the first time upon hearing this.

"This Lin Changyue is no ordinary person! Either he has a great opportunity and has obtained the inheritance of some powerful being, or he is the reincarnation of some powerful being!"

"It seems I'll have to be more careful around Lin Changyue from now on, and not let anything slip."

Uncle Li was speaking to Chen Ping, and also to himself.

If a body cultivator and soul cultivator at the pseudo-core level were to recklessly use their abilities to possess a puppet, they would be easily detected.

"Great Power..." Chen Ping murmured, then asked, "Uncle Li, what level of cultivation qualifies someone as a Great Power? How does it compare to yours?"

"He must be at least at the Nascent Soul level! Although he might not be as strong as I was at my peak... but I'm just a remnant soul now, and my strength is very limited. If Lin Changyue is a reincarnation of a powerful being, then his strength and future potential are far greater than mine!" Uncle Li said modestly, which was rare for him.

Chen Ping clicked his tongue in amazement; this was the first time in so many years that he had heard Uncle Li admit that he was not as good as before.

In the past, even when the Qingming Sword Sect and the Nine Heavens Thunder Palace, the two major Nascent Soul sects, were mentioned, they were met with disdain and were not taken seriously at all.

"Fortunately, I'm now half a member of the Lin family, and I have an excellent relationship with Brother Changyue, so we won't become enemies," Chen Ping chuckled.

Uncle Li said irritably, "What are you grinning about? In this great struggle, only by standing out from the crowd can you obtain the most and best opportunities, and the greatest fortune!"

"Now that Lin Changyue has appeared, if you continue to be overshadowed, you won't be able to enjoy many good things all to yourself in the future!"

Chen Ping muttered, "The cultivation world is so vast, even within the Yu Kingdom alone, there are countless opportunities and benefits. How can I monopolize them all?"

Uncle Li was too lazy to explain further, and simply said, "You should work harder, kid, and get your cultivation to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible! The Glazed Tile Sect and the Profound Weapon Hall are fighting fiercely, but it's unlikely that either of them will be able to claim the treasure left behind by True Person Illusion. After they finish fighting, Uncle Li will take you to see if we can get our hands on it!"

Lin Changyue's sudden display of strength made Chen Ping feel that he could not catch up and lost the will to compete.

On the contrary, Uncle Li was somewhat 'provoked'.

"These two major sects together have six or seven True Core cultivators, two of whom are in the mid-stage of True Core, and more than twenty Pseudo-Core cultivators! Uncle Li, even these two major sects can't get their hands on this treasure, can you? Maybe you shouldn't go and join the fun," Chen Ping advised.

Uncle Li snorted coldly: "The Xuanbing Hall obtained a portion of the inheritance of True Person Huanxin, but there are no cultivators who cultivate the Five-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture. Although the Glazed Sect has many people who cultivate the Five-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture, they are all slightly lacking in skill... So neither of the two major sects can do it. Only a Nascent Soul level cultivator can forcibly extract it."

Chen Ping asked doubtfully, "Uncle Li, you don't have the strength of a Nascent Soul True Monarch yet."

"I have my own way, you just need to focus on your cultivation!" Uncle Li was full of confidence.

……

Seven Star Island Market.

Recently, the number of visitors to the market has increased significantly, mostly from people who have heard of the Lin family's legend and want to witness it firsthand.

Unfortunately, even the younger generation of the Lin family finds it difficult to meet Lin Changyue, let alone ordinary cultivators.

It is only because of Lin Changyue's many wives and children that they can see Lin Changyue frequently.

Because Lin Changyue is not a cultivation fanatic like Lin Changgeng, who focuses solely on cultivation and spends years in seclusion.

He needs to dedicate a significant amount of time to indulging in marital bliss with his many beautiful wives and diligently conceive.

Lin Changyue was well aware that even though his spiritual root aptitude was already quite high, reaching the third rank, he still had to overcome his limitations.

However, relying solely on his own cultivation, his rate of improvement was still far less than the feedback from his many children.

The more children he has, the faster his cultivation level will improve.

As time passed, with its doors closed to visitors, the popularity of the name 'Lin Changyue' gradually cooled down in the Seven Star Island Market and among the many families under the Xuanbing Hall.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

With 30% of his own hard work and 70% of his children's efforts, Lin Changyue finally reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!
That year, Lin Changyue turned fifty-five!
Nine years have passed since he reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of forty-six.

Nine years, from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment—this speed is something even the core disciples of the major sects with first-grade spiritual roots can only dream of.

Only true disciples with earth-elemental spiritual roots, with an almost unlimited supply of massive cultivation resources, can achieve this.

For example, Xie Ling Shuang of the Xuanbing Hall, and Qin Li, Lin Changyue's wife, both spent nearly ten years in Liaoyuan Immortal City.

"I am still only a third-grade spiritual root, but my cultivation speed is comparable to many geniuses with earth spiritual roots."

"The children have been quite diligent over the years."

Lin Changyue was all smiles.
