Cultivation begins in the endless sea.

Chapter 38 The Cold Moon Returns

After listening to Lin Shengyu's lecture for a while, Lin Canglan nodded frequently, becoming increasingly satisfied with Lin Qing, the arranger of all this.

"The Su family has produced talented individuals in every generation, and so has my Lin family!"

Upon reaching the summit of Tingyun Mountain, they saw that Lin Qing's cave entrance was tightly closed, indicating that he was still in seclusion.

He hesitated for a moment, but still sent a transmission talisman, after all, the matter of the sea monster tide was no small matter.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Lin Qing was extremely busy. Not to mention the clan affairs, his cultivation was also quite complicated.

Firstly, the pills available for Qi Refining stage cultivators were no longer sufficient for his daily cultivation needs. He urgently needed to improve his alchemy skills; otherwise, relying solely on his ancestor was not a viable solution.

Secondly, although his magical power is extremely profound due to the Creation Scripture, he cannot unleash his full strength by relying solely on the cultivation manuals and classics stored in his clan.

He desperately needs some drastic measures!

Thirdly, as cultivators reach the Foundation Establishment stage, the amount of cultivation resources they need increases significantly, especially in the later stages.

This is why cultivators establish families; to put it bluntly, the entire family's resources are used to support the cultivation needs of one person! However, "this one person" also protects the entire family, complementing each other.

"It's already very difficult for the family to support Grandpa Lan, and with me on top of that, it's an unbearable burden."

"...will also cause my spiritual practice to stagnate."

Lin Qing was caught in a dilemma; in fact, he didn't lack spirit stones.

After establishing his foundation, he took some time to visit the old site of Wanfufang Market and dug up everything that had been hidden in the building beneath Lin Hexuan.

After returning it to the clan treasury, he received two thousand spirit stones as his share.

Adding to what I had obtained before, and after deducting eight or nine mid-grade spirit stones, I now have more than 15,000 low-grade spirit stones on me!

There's also a bunch of pills.

However, there was nowhere to buy them, and they could not be exchanged for real cultivation resources!

After thinking for a long time, a monk market called "Azure Dragon Bay" suddenly came to mind.

When they were exploring the mysterious map of the cultivator surnamed Chao, they not only discovered Cold Moon Island, but also a passage that bypassed most of the dangerous places, and its destination was Azure Dragon Bay.

However, the dangerous situation mentioned by the cultivator surnamed Chao refers to those at the second level or above, equivalent to the Purple Mansion level in humans.

They disdain labeling second-order and lower-order symbols.

Too much!

"First, condense the profound true water and extract the cold energy from the earth's veins on Cold Moon Island."

"After you have mastered the skill, you can go to Qinglong Bay."

Lin Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, having made up his mind.

"But this departure will take at least three or four years, and possibly five or six years. Back home..."

Just then, the communication talisman of Ancestor Lin Canglan flew in.

Lin Qing pinched his fingers together, his brows furrowing.

"A sea monster tide?"

……

"Boom!"

The stone door opened, and Lin Qing stepped out.

"Qing'er, it seems your cultivation has become much more stable."

Lin Canglan stroked his short beard, looking at Lin Qing before him with a restrained brilliance, standing as straight as a pine tree, and couldn't help but nod.

"It's all thanks to the elixir given by our ancestor!"

"Ancestor, please tell me quickly what's going on?"

Seeing Lin Qing's unusually anxious expression, Lin Canglan had no intention of teasing him this time.

He sighed and explained:

"How difficult it is to become a cultivator in the sea!"

In the vast and boundless sea, countless powerful demons dwell, including sea demon kings, sea demon emperors, and even sea demon ancestors.

However, they all exist in the Guixu Sea area, not in this relatively close "near sea" area of ​​the human race.

The closest to Wanling Island is the Demon King of the Netherworld Sea, who commands more than a dozen demon tribes.

At its peak, it had twenty third-tier great demons, equivalent to twenty human cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage!

There are usually as many as a dozen of them.

Moreover, they almost always live in groups, which is the main reason why the Su family always gathers a large group of people for each demon-slaying operation.

"Now the sea monster tide is approaching, and the Star Gate..."

Lin Canglan's eyes showed worry, and he did not mention the powerful figures at the Golden Core level in the Starry Sky Sect.

There are five Purple Mansion experts in the main body alone, and with the addition of Purple Mansion vassals like the Su family, there are actually as many as ten Purple Mansion experts at our disposal!

"But once the sea monster tide breaks out, it will be a battle on almost every front. Even if the Star Gate attracts the main demons, then..."

"We on Wanling Island are not immune to danger either!"

Lin Qing's face darkened. He knew, of course, that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.

He gritted his teeth and immediately stated his plan.

"What? You discovered a small island of icy veins when you escaped from the last battle at the market?"

Lin Canglan had no suspicions, but was worried about his safety.

"Although Yu Gu's talisman won't be of much help to you, it's better than nothing."

Lin Canglan took out a stack of talismans from his storage bag and handed them to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing was moved, knowing that the ancestor had tacitly approved of his itinerary, and reached out to take the talisman.

"I dare not refuse a gift from my elders."

"Qing'er, put these pills in the clan treasury to neutralize these talismans!"

Lin Qing took out more than a dozen bottles of Qi Refining Pills and placed them on the stone table. Unexpectedly, Lin Canglan also took out five or six bottles of pills.

"These are Qingyuan Pills that can be taken in the early stages of Foundation Establishment. I have no use for them at the moment, so you can take them."

Lin Qing was taken aback by what he heard. The two looked at each other and laughed heartily, revealing the tacit understanding between grandfather and grandson.

The two then sat down at the stone table and began sharing their experiences in Foundation Establishment. Of course, Lin Canglan did most of the talking, while Lin Qing, having just established his foundation, focused on digesting and absorbing the information.

They chatted like this for the entire afternoon. Lin Canglan said, still wanting more:

"Be extremely careful on this journey; your life is of utmost importance."

Lin Qing nodded emphatically, no longer bothering with any more sentimental gestures. With a flick of his storage pouch, the Meteor Blade shot out with a "whoosh." Lin Qing took a leap in mid-air, circled the mountaintop three times, and then transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the distance…

Lin Canglan looked up and followed him with his gaze, his eyes full of expectation.

"The fledgling eagle must eventually spread its wings!"

After a long while, he sat down and suddenly noticed that a storage bag had appeared on the table.

The storage bag contained family secrets he had left behind. Now, it contained not only the Xuan Shui Furnace he had given to Lin Qing, but also jade slips containing Lin Qing's insights into Foundation Establishment, alchemy, and a rough development plan, as well as a jade slip left for his parents.

Lin Qing's parents are nearly a hundred years old. After this long journey, it is unknown what their condition will be when they return. But whether they are cultivators or mortals, the feelings of parents for their children are always the same.

Lin Canglan bought the Foundation Establishment Pill for 12,000 spirit stones, 5,000 of which were saved by Lin Shenghong and his wife over 20 years of frugal living!

……

Heading west, the scenery is picturesque.

Having already experienced this before, Lin Qing encountered almost no difficulties and quickly arrived at his destination, Cold Moon Island.

After more than a decade of recovery, the cold energy of the ley lines on Cold Moon Island is now sufficient for Lin Qing to condense about ten drops of Profound True Water.

"It takes 108 days to condense a single drop."

"Twelve makes a cycle, which can be combined with the clan's water-attribute secret techniques."

"Chonglan Palm".
