Chapter 1 The Lin Family
Dongzhou Qiguo, Qinghe County in the north, East Street.
An ordinary two-story wooden building is located at the end of the street, with the words "Spirit Medicine Pavilion" written on the plaque on the door.
Pedestrians passing by looked in a hurry and did not dare to stop in front of the store because they heard that there was an Immortal Master in the store and were afraid of offending the Immortal Master and causing disaster.
On the second floor of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, in the elegant hall.
A young man wearing a green shirt, tall and handsome, was looking at the three charcoal black pills in the alchemy furnace with a frown on his face.
"Alas, it failed again. This blood-vitalizing pill is so difficult to refine."
Looking at the empty Spirit Medicine box, Lin Sheng suddenly felt heartache. These Spirit Medicines were saved by him frugally, but they were worth more than a dozen Low Grade spirit stones, but now they were all wasted.
"You must have failed to control the heat, so I made a furnace of useless elixirs. I really want to roast you and eat you." Lin Sheng glared at the Spirit Fire Toad lying next to the elixir furnace.
"Gugu." The palm-sized Spirit Fire Toad trembled in fright, and the five fire storage bags on its back shrank in size.
"Hmph!" Lin Sheng snorted coldly and looked away, muttering to himself: "Am I really not suitable for alchemy?"
Among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, the four arts of formation, weapon, alchemy and talisman are the most difficult to master. If there is no inheritance, practitioners can only rely on a large amount of materials to accumulate experience. Even if there is inheritance, unless they are talented and intelligent people, it will still require a lot of energy.
Lin Sheng has been transmigrating for three years and has opened dozens of pills. Except for the inferior pills, all the Rank One pills have ended in failure.
"I'm not good at refining pills, and I'm not good at practicing. I'm just mediocre." Lin Sheng shook his head, looking at the cracked pill furnace in front of him, and fell into memories.
Three years ago, Lin Sheng got very drunk. When he woke up, he came to this world. It was a soul-piercing thing. The original owner was also called Lin Sheng.
It took three days for Lin Sheng to completely absorb the memory of the original owner.
This world is completely different from the Blue Star in the previous life. The sky is round and there is no concept of the universe at all. Above the sky, there is turbulence in space.
What is it like to transmigrate to the Immortal Cultivation World? Lin Sheng was naturally excited. A person cannot escape death in his life. Now that he has the hope of immortality, he is naturally excited. As an orphan, he has no care for the original world.
Now that the transmigrate is here, the original owner still has some background. He is a direct descendant of the Lin family, a cultivating family. Because of his average qualifications, he was sent to Qinghe County to be a shopkeeper.
This so-called Immortal Cultivation Family is actually a Qi Refining Family, and there is no major overhaul of the Foundation Building. There are quite a few such Qi Refining families in this world.
Three years later, Lin Sheng was still stuck at the third level of Qi Refining, unable to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining. The technique he practiced was the family technique, Qi Entraining Technique, which could reach the realm of Foundation Building.
The Qi Refining Stage is divided into levels one to ten. Levels one to three are the early stage of Qi Refining, levels four to six are the middle stage of Qi Refining, levels seven to nine are the late stage of Qi Refining, and level ten are the great perfection of Qi Refining.
Lin Sheng is now a monk in the early stage of Qi Refining. If he cannot break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining before the age of twenty, he will remain in the Qi Refining Realm in this life.
Only by breaking through to the middle stage of Qi Refining before the age of twenty, and breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining before the age of forty, can one have the opportunity to impact the realm of Foundation Building.
The lifespan of a mortal is only a few years, and the lifespan of a Qi Refining monk is only twenty or thirty years longer than that of a mortal. If he breaks through to the Foundation Building for major repairs, he will have a lifespan of two hundred years, truly transcending mortals.
Under normal cultivation, Lin Sheng is still expected to break through to the Qi Refining Late Stage. After all, the Spirit Root in his body is the Middle Grade Golden Spirit Root, and his cultivation speed is not too slow.
The only pity is that his Golden Spirit Root also contains a little bit of the four attributes of wood, water, fire, and earth.
If there are no other four attributes, it is the High Grade Golden Spirit Root, or if the five attributes are the same, it is the Supreme Grade Five Elements Spirit Root. The cultivation speed is different.
It's such a pity that Lin Sheng had to say with emotion: "Fate has its way with people."
In addition to the traditional five-attribute Spirit Root, there are also variant Spirit Roots, such as Yin Spirit Root, Yang Spirit Root, Thunder Spirit Root, etc. These Spirit Roots can achieve twice the result with half the effort in some special exercises.
Lin Sheng's second brother, Lin Hao, is the wind and thunder mutant Spirit Root. Therefore, most of the family resources were allocated to Lin Hao, and Lin Sheng could only play a role as a shopkeeper.
Although the qualifications are average, shouldn’t the transmigrator’s standard equipment be a plug-in? Lin Sheng waited for three years, but still did not wait for the plug-in to appear, as if he was just an ordinary cultivator.
If the only one that is special is the alien beast Spirit Fire Toad, Lin Sheng glanced at the Spirit Fire Toad next to the alchemy furnace: "Could it be that you are my plug-in?"
The Spirit Fire Toad that was taking a peek trembled and quickly looked away. As a Rank One beast, it was still somewhat intelligent. It could still hear the malicious tone of its owner.
The Spirit Fire Toad is an exotic beast cultivated by Lin Sheng's mother during her lifetime. The species is rare, but its combat effectiveness is low. At Rank One level, it can only store and breathe fire. If it can be cultivated into a Rank Two exotic beast, it can control fire and attack enemies, becoming a Big boost.
But if you want to cultivate a Rank One beast into a Rank Two, the simplest way is to swallow the Rank Two Beast Core with the same attribute, and there is a certain probability of advancement.
Alien beasts are different from Monster and Spirit Beast. Monster's bloodline is the most mixed, while Spirit Beast's bloodline is relatively pure. Alien beasts are the mutations of some Spirit Beasts. Because of their bloodline mutation, the bloodline barrier is thicker. Ordinary beasts have different bloodlines. Monsters may be able to break through with just one Beast Core, while exotic beasts require three or more.
The Rank Two Monster corresponds to the Foundation Building monk, and Lin Sheng can only think about killing monsters and taking elixirs.
Qinghe County is located in the northern part of Qi State, adjacent to the Shiwan Mountains in the north. The environment is harsh and the spiritual energy is thin. Lin Sheng feels that he is already very good if he can ensure that his level does not decline in such a bitter and cold place.
If it weren't for the Shiwanda Mountain to the north and the occasional monks who came here to look for opportunities, Lin Sheng would no longer be here.
Although the Lin family is only a small family, there are still several stores in Xiuxianfang City in Qi. After all, the head of the Lin family is a Qi Refining Dzogchen monk. If there is a Foundation Building overhaul in the family, then it is a big family, and its words have weight in Qi State.
After sighing slightly, Lin Sheng put the Spirit Fire Toad into the Spirit Beast bag and pushed the door open.
Qinghe County is just a city for mortals. The Lin family has planted two flags here. In addition to the Spirit Medicine Pavilion on the East Street, the other one is Zuimengfang on the West Street.
Placing a flag is to enclose the land. Qinghe County is a bitter cold land with few monks. There are no other cultivating families competing with the Lin family for this land.
Zuimengfang, as its name suggests, is a place for fun.
In front of Zuimengfang, Lin Sheng raised his head, glanced at the bright plaque, and walked straight in.
Lin Sheng did not come here to have fun, he was unwavering in his heart towards the Tao, how could a mere pink skin seduce him.
Entering the hall, waves of fragrance hit your face, making you intoxicated. Many men have been drunk in twos and threes in the hall, all of them are strong mortal Martial Artists.
Lin Sheng shook his head and surrendered. At the Tomb of Heroes of Wenwen Township, he could only see the feasting and feasting in the hall, but not the white bones in the ground.
"Fifth brother, what brought you here today?" A woman with a plump figure and charming eyes came up to her, twisting her soft waist.
Looking at the charming woman in front of him and feeling the fluctuations of her spiritual energy in the middle stage of Qi Refining, Lin Sheng smiled slightly: "Aunt Yan, I want to borrow some spiritual stones from you."
"Lingshi?" Lin Yan was so charming that she gave Lin Sheng a look; "Fifth brother, your salary in the clan is higher than mine."
Lin Yan was a collateral member of the Lin family. Her original surname was Bai, but she later changed her surname to Lin. However, Lin Sheng was a direct member of the Lin family, so her status was higher than that of Lin Yan.
Lin Sheng's father was the fifth eldest, known as Lin Laowu. Later, he died in the war. The title of fifth eldest son fell on Lin Sheng, who was fifteen years old at the time. Because of his youth, the tribesmen often called him the fifth brother.
Lin Sheng showed a wry smile: "The salary within the clan has been spent long ago. As you know, Aunt Yan, I have been refining elixirs recently."
Lin Yan looked helpless: "Fifth brother, even if I lend you spiritual stones, what's the use of a dozen spiritual stones?"
"You are the Middle Grade Spirit Root. You should focus on your cultivation. Improving your own realm is the fundamental thing."
Lin Sheng looked at Lin Yan, whose face was so pink that it looked like she could squeeze out water, and thought to himself: "You practice Mei Gong, and you also practice the art of picking and nourishing. You pick up these strong Martial Artists every day, and there are piles of bones under the house." , of course one can improve one’s realm in this bitter cold place with thin spiritual energy.”
Lin Yan seemed to have seen what Lin Sheng was thinking, and smiled charmingly: "Fifth brother, how about you change the dual cultivation method? In my shop, there are several sisters with profound skills, who can definitely help you break through the middle stage of Qi Refining. "
"Haha, farewell." Lin Sheng chuckled, turned around and left, completely ignoring the calls behind him. What sisters? They are clearly a group of witches who practice the art of tonic. If he wants to practice with them, wouldn't they be a wolf in the tiger's mouth?
