Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 86 Engagement Time, Encountering an Acquaintance

Lin Changyue did not expect Lin Qingchan's marriage to bring any benefits to him and the Lin family.

Lin Changyue was not even sure whether the system's achievements could take into account Lin Qingchan's future marriage and children.

If you can summarize it, that would be the best.

Lin Qingchan has spiritual roots. If she really marries Jin Chuwei, this kid from the Jin family has fourth-grade spiritual roots, and their future children will definitely have good spiritual roots and will achieve new achievements.

But if it is not included, Lin Changyue will not be disappointed.

In short, when it comes to his children, especially his most beloved ones, Lin Changyue still hopes that they can be happy first, and then the system achievements.

……

"Brother Changyue, you should have noticed this recently, right? Both children are good kids, and they get along very well. The Jin and Lin families are also well-matched. As the elders, we can make the decision on their behalf and finalize their marriage first. How do you think?"

More than half a month later, Jin Gaoyuan brought up the old matter again.

Confirming his daughter's affection for the Jin family's son, Lin Changyue's aversion to the shameless Jin family elder faded. He said, "There's no need to rush into a marriage, right? Fellow Daoist Jin, rest assured. I promised I wouldn't interfere with my daughter's feelings. I'll support whoever she likes, and I won't go back on my word. They're both young, so they can date for now. If they develop feelings for each other and want to get married, we can discuss the marriage later. There's no need to decide now."

Jin Gaoyuan insisted, "We'll get married in a few years, but we can get engaged first."

Seeing that Lin Changyue was reluctant to agree, Jin Gaoyuan thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind. He set up a barrier in the room to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping, then said with a wry smile: "Brother Changyue, to be honest, the reason why I am so anxious to confirm the marriage of the two children is not only because the two children are already in love, but also because there is another very important reason. The Jin family is in a very bad situation right now, and we really need to become relatives and form an alliance with the Lin family..."

immediately.

Jin Gaoyuan gave a brief account of the current situation of the Jin family.

The situation is actually similar to what Lin Changyue and Lin Daoyu guessed.

The Jin family's Grand Elder who is in the late stage of foundation building has not much time left to live. He has five years at most before his death.

After the death of the Jin family's supreme elder, the Jin family was left with only him, who was in the early stage of foundation building, and one who was in the middle stage of foundation building.

Two foundation-building cultivators, especially one in the middle stage of foundation-building, would not be considered weak if placed in other foundation-building families.

However, the Jin family, which once had a Fake Dan Zhenren and was the undisputed first family under the Xuanbing Palace hundreds of years ago, has also been ranked among the top three in recent years.

This level of foundation-building combat power is definitely not enough.

The Jin family has many businesses, which have long attracted many people to secretly covet them. Especially in recent years, the news that the Jin family's supreme elder is nearing the end of his life has become an open secret. Many surrounding foundation-building families have been waiting for this day to bite off a piece of fat from the Jin family!
Unable to rely on themselves, the Jin family could only think of marriage and seeking external assistance.

As an emerging family, the Lin family's reputation and strength are at their peak. What's more important is that the territories of the Lin family and the other Lin family are far apart and have no borders at all, so naturally there is no conflict of interest. It is the best alliance partner for the Jin family.

It just so happened that Jin Chuwei, a talented son of the Jin family, and Lin Changyue, the daughter of Lin Changyue, met and fell in love with each other. After Jin Gaoyuan learned the news, he immediately ran to the Lin family to propose marriage, and he did not get angry even if he was rejected.

"Doesn't the Jin family have a good relationship with the Xuanbing Palace..." Lin Changyue hesitated.

If the Xuanbing Palace is there to protect them, even if the Lin family's strength is weakened, even if there is only one foundation-building cultivator left, there will be no problem and no one will dare to attack them.

Jin Gaoyuan didn't care to say more after all this. He sighed and said, "The relationship between the Jin family and the Xuanbing Palace has almost ended a long time ago. In addition, almost all the Jindan sects in the Yu Kingdom's immortal cultivation world have a unified default rule that they will not interfere in the feuds of immortal cultivation families. The Jin family's power will have to rely on themselves to find ways, and the Xuanbing Palace will not interfere."

The founding ancestor of the Jin family, the Fake Dan Patriarch, naturally had a close relationship with the Xuanbing Palace when he was still alive.

But now hundreds of years have passed. Not only have people left and the tea has forgotten them, even the elders of the Xuanbing Hall who were contemporary with the Fake Dan Ancestor have all passed away.

Then what is the point of the incense?

"If the Jin family can form an alliance with the Lin family through marriage, don't worry, Brother Changyue. The Jin family doesn't need any help from the Lin family. They just want to have priority in purchasing second-level talismans and second-level puppets when the Lin family has them for sale. At the same time, by leveraging the Lin family's power, they can make the Jin family's several hostile families more fearful. That's enough."

Jin Gaoyuan spoke very sincerely.

He wasn't really flattering the Lin family with these words. The Lin family was currently a nearby foundation-building family, and they were so intimidating that the other families had to give them some face.

"After a year, if the two little guys still have feelings for each other, then please trouble Fellow Daoist Jin to come to the Lin family again and arrange the engagement."

Lin Changyue finally relented.

There was no direct agreement, but perhaps a one-year period was agreed.

A year later, my daughter Lin Qingchan still has a good impression of Jin Chuwei, which means that their relationship is relatively stable and they can get engaged. It’s okay for the Lin family to help the Jin family.

of course.

If something unexpected happens a year later and my daughter Lin Qingchan no longer likes Jin Chuwei, then let this matter go.

"Okay!" Jin Gaoyuan was very happy.

Although the original goal was not achieved, a year is not a long time. For those who practice Taoism, it passed in the blink of an eye.

The Supreme Elder can still hold on for a few more years, and the Lin family will not have any major problems in the next few years.

However, he had to go back and give Jin Chuwei some serious advice, telling him to treat Miss Qingchan from the Lin family well and never give up halfway.

Although Jin Chuwei is a talented young man of the Jin family and a potential foundation-building talent, he is not the only one.

Moreover, even if one succeeds in building a foundation after going through hardships with the qualifications of a fourth-grade spiritual root, it is only at the initial stage of foundation building, with limited prospects, and cannot change the current predicament of the Jin family.

In comparison, his ability to facilitate a marriage and alliance between the two families is the most important thing!
……

After living in the market town of Qixing Island for two months, Lin Changyue officially set off for the Luanniao Secret Realm.

Have a safe journey.

Without encountering any setbacks, they arrived at the border between Xuanbing Palace and Liuli Sect.

Occasionally, when they met monks with unfriendly expressions on the road, they would avoid them.

"The aura of a foundation-building cultivator is the passport to travel freely."

Lin Changyue sighed.

Although the foundation-building cultivators were not considered big shots, they were definitely no longer small characters who could be manipulated at will in the world of immortal cultivation.

In all the major Jindan sects, foundation-building cultivators are also the backbone of the force, and it is easy for them to become managers.

If you are in a small family, you can even become an immortal and a patriarch.

Therefore, in the Yu Kingdom's world of immortal cultivation, as long as the foundation-building cultivators do not participate in the struggles between major forces and do not take risks, they can live a comfortable life anywhere.

However, ordinary people are always greedy and it is difficult to be satisfied, and this is especially true for those who practice Taoism.

Having already established the foundation, who wouldn’t want to take a step further and take a look at the Jindan realm that truly stands at the top of the world of immortal cultivation?

Most foundation-building cultivators, even if they have average qualifications, will think that they are different from others and have "luck".

When you build your foundation before the age of sixty, and until you are one hundred and twenty, you will try every possible way to seek opportunities, no matter how risky it is!

That is, after the age of 120, when one is old and has little life left, and his cultivation is still in the early and middle stages of foundation building, he will recognize himself and know that he is not a genius and has no hope of forming a pill.

So either start to pursue enjoyment or start to pave the way for future generations.

"It should be this direction..."

After Lin Changyue arrived at the border of the two major sects, he confirmed his location and continued flying for another half day before arriving at Qingquan Valley. Two hundred miles west of Qingquan Valley was where Fenglei Zhenren had left his treasure, while another eight hundred miles north would lead to the Luanniao Secret Realm.

The two places are not too far apart.

"Let's take a short detour."

Lin Changyue did not go straight to the treasure area, but flew a distance to the southwest first. In this way, when he went to the Luanniao Secret Realm, the treasure became a must-pass place.

You can pretend to be passing by.

Just half an hour later, Lin Changyue felt that the detour distance was about right and was about to rush to the treasure ruins, but unexpectedly he met an "acquaintance" here.

A giant golden eagle with a wingspan of ten meters flew quickly from behind. It was not a flying magic weapon, but a real second-level spiritual beast.

On the back of the giant eagle, a figure sat cross-legged.

Lin Changyue originally planned to stay away from him and let the other party go first.

With his strength, although he is not afraid of a foundation-building cultivator who possesses a second-level spirit beast, he has to keep a low profile and take the initiative to retreat when encountering such a situation.

But the next moment, when he saw clearly the monk on the giant eagle's back, his expression changed, and he immediately used his magic power to wrap up his voice and sent it out: "Fellow Daoist Wang, please stay!"

This person.

It was Wang Zhidan from the Beast Taming Family!
Although the Beastmaster Wang family is not considered the top immortal cultivation family in the Yu Kingdom, the current strongest person in the family is just a fake Dan Zhenren.

But in their clan’s territory, there is a clan guardian spirit beast in the early stage of the third level!

This is even more intimidating than a true real person in the early stage of Jindan.

Because a third-level spirit beast, in addition to having a strong physical body, must also have innate magical powers, and there may even be more than one. Its deterrent power is enough to rival that of a mid-stage Jindan beast!

Moreover, monsters have a long lifespan.

The lifespan of a third-level spirit beast generally starts at a thousand years.

This is already the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Moreover, unlike human cultivators, monster beasts' lifespans are generally similar at the same level under normal circumstances. However, depending on the type of their bloodline, the lifespans of monster beasts at the same level can differ by several times.

For example, if the turtle monster, which is known to have the longest lifespan, could be promoted to the third level, its lifespan would be estimated to be several thousand years.

Therefore, the Wang family's third-level spiritual beast is not only powerful enough to deter, but can also protect the Wang family for at least a thousand years!

When Lin Changyue followed his family to Liaoyuan Immortal City, he was introduced by Xiao Churan and was able to participate in an exchange meeting that only foundation-building cultivators were eligible to attend.

Lin Changyue's spiritual beast, the red-feathered bird, was purchased from Wang Zhidan.

At that time, Wang Zhidan also did Lin Changyue a favor, so the price given to Lin Changyue was considered a bit cheap.

"Your Excellency is..."

They hadn't seen each other for many years, and Lin Changyue was just a small cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining at the beginning. Now he has been promoted to the Foundation Establishment stage. Wang Zhidan couldn't recognize Lin Changyue for a while.

Lin Changyue smiled slightly and patted the spirit beast bag at his waist.

Tweet!
A crimson figure rose into the sky, about to show off its form and fly around.

But the next moment, feeling the powerful pressure coming from the second-level avian monster not far away, the red-feathered bird, which had just grown to the middle stage of the first level, immediately stayed beside Lin Changyue like a mouse seeing a cat.

It was obviously a very large bird, with a wingspan of five or six meters, but now it was like a baby pigeon, not daring to move.

but.

It also stared at Wang Zhidan with some curiosity, and inexplicably felt that this person was somewhat friendly.

Although it was hatched and raised by Lin Changyue, it was nurtured by Wang Zhidan when it was in the egg.

Lin Changyue took it home and only needed to add a drop of essence and blood to hatch it.

Therefore, Wang Zhidan's aura still feels inexplicably familiar to it.

"Akabane-bane?"

After Wang Zhidan saw the red-feathered bird, he immediately came to his senses and understood Lin Changyue's identity.

“It turned out to be Master Lin Fu!”

Wang Zhidan leaped down from the golden giant eagle and flew in front of Lin Changyue. He bowed and said, "I'm truly sorry. I was not able to recognize Fellow Daoist Lin the first time."

"It's been many years since I last met Fellow Daoist Wang. It took me a moment to confirm his identity when I met him just now." Lin Changyue said.

Wang Zhidan looked at Lin Changyue and sighed, "It should be six or seven years, right? However, Brother Lin has changed a lot in these six or seven years. He has become a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Lin Changyue said modestly, "It was just luck, luck."

"My generation of cultivators have all made their way forward step by step. There's no such thing as luck." Wang Zhidan shook his head, then couldn't help but ask, "Back then, Fellow Daoist Lin was still in the Qi Refining Realm, but his talisman skills had already broken through to the second level. I wonder if he's reached the middle level of the second level now?"

"Shame on me, I'm still stuck at the lower second level."

Lin Changyue has not actually relaxed his practice of talisman skills over the years.

The family has a great demand for second-level talismans. He himself, his more than a dozen wives, and many descendants with spiritual roots want a superior environment for cultivation, and they also need to use second-level talismans to exchange for a large amount of spirit stone resources.

So apart from practicing, Lin Changyue spent most of his time drawing talismans.

only……

It is not easy to improve talisman skills.

Especially after reaching the second level, even if it is just a small level, it is very difficult.

The starting time is more than ten years.

Thinking back to when he was at the first level, he tried desperately to hide his talisman skills, and it would probably take a while before he revealed some progress... He was so happy.

"I'm sorry for being so presumptuous. Fellow Daoist Lin has only been promoted to the second-level Talisman Master for a few years. It's almost impossible for him to make further progress in the second level so quickly." Wang Zhidan said with a smile.

If Lin Changyue's talisman skills were to be promoted to the second-level mid-grade, he would have to shamelessly ask to buy a few later.

His cultivation was still at the initial stage of foundation building, so a second-grade mid-grade talisman would be of great help to him.

However, it is indeed not easy for a second-level mid-grade talisman master to be promoted.

Just like Ye Zhuguang, the descendant of Feng Lei Zhenren in Liaoyuan Immortal City, who is nearly a hundred years old and whose talisman skills are only at the middle level of the second grade, everyone believes that he has a great chance of being promoted to a third-grade talisman master in the future.

"Master Lin Fu is here, are you preparing to go to the Luanniao Secret Realm?"

Wang Zhidan changed the subject and asked.
