Chapter 19: Enlightenment
"This time, we have 30,000 spirit stones. After deducting the money for the training method, we still have 27,000 spirit stones left. What are you going to do with it, Qing'er?"
"Grandpa, please give me 10,000 spirit stones first, and you can keep the rest.
My aunt has quickly reached the ninth level of Qi training, and I need to prepare the foundation-building pill for her.
In a few months, I will have another batch of 24 red fruits. I will sell them and add the spirit stones together to buy the foundation-building pill for my aunt.
It just so happens that our Pingyang Prefecture will also hold an auction in the next year, and there will definitely be Foundation Establishment Pills on auction."
"Silly grandson! Every time there is an auction, there are five to ten foundation-building pills. There are thirteen foundation-building families in Pingyang Prefecture, plus those Qi-refining families and independent cultivators.
Others won't let you bid for two Foundation Establishment Pills at once. You'll be lucky if you can bid for just one.
There is a tacit understanding among everyone here, which will not be easily broken.
Moreover, your fifth grandfather and his family have worked hard for forty years for this foundation-building pill.
Grandpa couldn't bear it, and couldn't fight with him. If the family didn't have enough spirit stones, they would help a little. He must bid for a foundation-building pill.
Your fifth grandfather was seriously injured for the family in the past, and he has been holding on for these years on his last breath.
I just want to see you, the Fourteenth Uncle Lin Maoxiang, successfully build the foundation, so no one will fight for this foundation-building pill."
Lin Changqing nodded. "Qing'er understands. What about aunt's foundation-building pill?"
“I can only go to Jinzhou Prefecture to attend the auction!
But the journey is long, so when the time comes, you can rent a cave in Jinzhou City and let your aunt build her foundation in it!
And even if your aunt has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, it will still take some time for her to reach the Great Perfection. It won’t happen that fast.
Laying the foundation is not as simple as you think. It involves many aspects, such as consciousness, qi and blood, spiritual energy, confidence and will, etc. These are the key factors that affect the success of foundation building.
I'm not worried about your aunt. If there really is a foundation-building pill, she has a 50% to 60% success rate.
What I am worried about is your parents and your second uncle. Even if I give them the Foundation Establishment Pill, the success rate will only be 20% to 30%.
As long as the Qi and blood are before the limit of 60 years old, they can have an impact on the Foundation Establishment Stage. Of course, the earlier the better.
If you are willing to work hard in spiritual energy, you will always be able to polish it to perfection.
The problem is that their spiritual consciousness is too weak. Your parents and second uncle have not awakened their spiritual consciousness even though they are at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Moreover, their confidence and willpower are also insufficient. "
"Otherwise, Grandpa, you can tell them that there will be foundation-building pills for them in the future. Let them prepare for foundation-building from now on."
“They have to believe it, too!”
"Why don't you believe it? Just say that there is a third-level spiritual plant in the Baicao Garden that is about to mature under your promotion.
When the time comes, please ask Grandmother to come forward and exchange for a few foundation-building pills, so that everyone will have a chance to build a foundation."
Grandpa glared at him, thought for a moment, and said, "You have a lot of tricks! But it seems okay, let's just tell them like you said!"
“Don’t worry about your spiritual consciousness, have you forgotten about the Earth Soul Fruit Tree?
When it is mature, I will give them a little bit to refine, it will definitely be useful."
"Well then! Here are 10,000 spirit stones. Your own cultivation is the most important, everything else is secondary. Do you understand?"
"I know, Grandpa, don't worry. I will break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining after the New Year. I won't be slower than my peers."
"Then go ahead and remember what Grandpa said."
Lin Changqing took out the storage bag containing the spirit stones.
When I got home, my mother, aunt and second uncle were all there.
Everyone looked happy, and upon asking, they found out that their aunt had refined the red fruit and advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Lin Changqing quickly congratulated his aunt, "Aunt, congratulations, your cultivation has made great progress and you have a good chance of building your foundation."
Then, flattery is given for free.
The aunt laughed out loud after hearing this, and said that she would definitely protect him in the future.
The family gathered together for dinner and the atmosphere became lively again.
My younger sister Lin Ling likes being in a crowd the most. She is sweet and the life of the family, and is loved by everyone.
She is five years old this year. When she is older, her family will start to feed her food with a little spiritual energy to test whether she has spiritual roots.
Lin Changqing also went through this. He only hoped that she had spiritual roots, even if she had five spiritual roots, so that the family would not have to suffer the pain of separation.
Return to the room and lock the door.
Lin Changqing's mind moved and he came to the space. To be honest, I haven't given Lin Changliu anything decent until now. This time, the ten thousand spirit stones are prepared for Lin Changliu. I felt a faint joy in my heart.
Lin Changqing smiled knowingly. He poured the spirit stones into the deep pit, and they disappeared immediately. After waiting for a while, there was no change.
Ignore it for now and start taking care of the two spiritual plants. This is the key to whether I and my family can build a foundation. I must not be careless.
He used the Spirit Rain and Birth Inducing Techniques on the spiritual plants and observed them for a while. Only then did he leave the space after finding no problems.
I have to practice magic at night! Perseverance pays off.
The next day, when Lin Changqing woke up early in the morning, he checked his space first.
I found that the space finally became larger. After spending ten thousand spirit stones, the space expanded by about one acre.
Very good, I will work hard to earn spiritual stones in the future, and the space will definitely be larger in the future. I touched it and it was still the same black soil. I knew it was suitable for planting at a glance.
I feel good, and I feel that the effect of my practice today is better. Could it be related to the enlargement of the space? Forget it, I don't have any evidence now, I will find something by testing it slowly in the future.
It seems like the monster hunting team is about to come back. I haven’t seen my father for a long time and I miss him a little.
According to family rules, I have to work in the Monster Hunting Team until I am 60 years old. I wonder if I can talk to my grandfather and ask my father and second uncle to quit the Monster Hunting Team. I wonder if it will work!
Every time he was so nervous, Lin Changqing would have a heart attack. Although it was a bit selfish, Lin Changqing just didn't want them to take risks.
Go see grandpa and talk to him about this.
Grandpa sternly refused, saying that this was not a good idea, and gave Lin Changqing a lecture.
Lin Changqing could only leave dejectedly and went to find his second uncle. The two of them went to the spiritual field of Ao Yun Peak.
The second uncle saw that Lin Changqing was in a bad mood and asked him the reason. After listening to Lin Changqing's words.
He laughed, "Second Uncle, thank you for your concern. But hunting monsters is a responsibility, an obligation of the Lin family cultivators, and a part of cultivation.
Hunting monsters often requires taking risks, but the difference between life and death is more conducive to the growth of cultivation and the breakthrough of bottlenecks.
Moreover, your father likes hunting monsters just like your second uncle. And where would you get the resources for cultivation if you don’t hunt monsters?
Your worries are completely unnecessary.
If my second uncle dies one day, that was his choice and he will not regret it.
I believe your father thinks so too."
After hearing this, Lin Changqing fell silent.
This is the conflict between the values of this world of immortal cultivation and the values of Lin Changqing’s previous life!
In his reincarnation, Lin Changqing still subconsciously wanted to survive and grow up. However, his grandfather, father and second uncle prioritized the continuation of the family.
Lin Changqing considers his family first and his clan last, but his grandfather and his clan first and his family second.
Lin Changqing felt that he couldn't do it, at least not now.
If the family encounters an irresistible foreign enemy now, Lin Changqing will definitely use the space to take his family away.
When I become stronger, I will get it back. Lin Changqing felt that he could not let himself die with the enemy for the sake of his family.
Lin Changqing is willing to give back to the family within his ability, but he can't give as much as he does to his family members.
After realizing his true nature, his mind became clear and transparent. The barrier between Lin Changqing and the world suddenly disappeared. The world in front of him seemed to be much clearer.
This state made Lin Changqing feel very good, and his cultivation was actually increasing rapidly. He was approaching the top of the third level of Qi Refining, as if he could break through at any time.
At this point, Lin Changqing couldn't care less.
He immediately sat cross-legged and circulated the Qi in his body. Soon, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in. With a loud "boom" in his mind, he broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
There was a layer of gray dirt all over the body. Fortunately, it didn't stink too much, better than last time.
He couldn't care less about that now. Lin Changqing concentrated his mind and began to circulate the Qi to consolidate his cultivation.
After an hour, it was basically consolidated. He stood up, cast a spiritual rain spell on himself, and then began to clean his body.
Second Uncle had just been protecting Lin Changqing and witnessed Lin Changqing's sudden enlightenment and breakthrough.
Seeing Lin Changqing start to clean his body, he dared to speak out, "I have always heard about sudden enlightenment, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes. I have learned a lot!"
