Chapter 16 Red Star Lin Family [Asking for monthly votes] The remaining three families are Liu, Li, and Wang. These are all Qi-training families founded by independent cultivators in recent decades. The strength of the three ancestors is slightly weaker than that of the Ye family. They do not have cultivators at the sixth level of Qi training, but their cultivation is also at the fourth or fifth level of Qi training. "The six people from the five families who are in the middle stage of Qi Refining have all arrived." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then looked at Old Man Ye. But the old man Ye exchanged a few simple greetings with everyone, and then he said directly: "The Lin family is too bullying. If we let them do this, I'm afraid we will have no place to stay in the Seven Islands of Xinghu in the future." "Today we will join forces and go to the Lin family to seek justice. We can talk on the way." "Brother Tianke is right. We cannot just sit there and wait for death." Qian Boren nodded, then looked at the others and said, "Let's work together to put some pressure on the Lin family." "Then let's set off."
Zhang Daoyang also nodded, revealing a hint of determination. This time, Lin's ruthless behavior completely offended the three major families of Zhang, Qian and Ye, allowing them to take this opportunity to reach a tacit understanding. The other three families were also wary of the Lin family, but the weak needed to stick together for warmth. This time, in order to fight against the Lin family, they could only go together to help. Seeing that no one had any objections, they all boarded the boat and headed for Chixing Island. Yejia Island was only a few dozen miles away from Chixing Island. They sailed on the small boat and after spending half a day along the way, they finally arrived at the Lin family's dock on Chixing Island. "Red Star Island, Lin's..." Looking at the Chixing Island in front of him, Ye Linyuan's eyes calmly scanned the island. Compared to Yejia Island, Chixing Island is slightly larger. It is more than 30 miles long from east to west and more than 20 miles wide from north to south. In terms of size, it is the largest of the seven islands in Xinghu. At this time, the group heard the boat approaching and had just landed on Chixing Island when they saw a group of people who seemed to have been waiting for a long time. The leader was Lin Shengyang. He glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "What's the wind that brought all the people from your six families here today?" Everyone looked at each other, and Qian Boran came straight to the point and said, "We are here today to ask for the spiritual stones that we agreed to return." "I see." Lin Shengyang nodded, and then said, "I see that the three of you look good. I think the snake venom in your body has been removed. I would like to congratulate you all." "Thanks to your Lin family, Zhang is still alive today. I am disappointed, aren't I?" Zhang Daoyang spoke coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his Yin-Yang words. Lin Shengyang's eyes turned slightly cold, knowing that the visitor had bad intentions, but he still smiled and said, "We have already made arrangements for the spiritual stones, so please follow me." After he finished speaking, Lin Shengyang led everyone to the Lin clan's land. The group of people all had cultivation skills, so it didn't take much time for them to arrive at the Lin family's dojo. This was a long dojo consisting of dozens of monks' residences. In front of the dojo was a vast platform square, which was where the Lin family members usually practiced. At this time, there were already more than twenty cultivators standing on the square, led by two cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training, a white-haired old man, and a young man who looked quite young.
Ye Linyuan could tell at a glance that the white-haired old man was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, while the young cultivator was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, yet he looked exceptionally young. As expected, the moment he saw the two, Old Man Ye immediately sent a message to Ye Linyuan: "The white-haired old man is called Lin Shengwu, and his cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi training. His strength is not inferior to mine." "But he is already eighty-seven years old. If he cannot break through to the late stage of Qi training within three years, it will be difficult for him to break through again in the future." Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but nodded slightly. Although they are all Qi-cultivating cultivators, their different levels of cultivation will result in very different lifespans. Among them, the lifespan in the initial stage of Qi training is no different from that of ordinary people, but by relying on true Qi to maintain vitality, one can live beyond ninety years old without illness or disaster. In the middle stage of Qi training, the true Qi becomes more powerful, and generally one can live to 120 years old without any disease or disaster. The Qi in the late stage of Qi training is many times thicker than that in the middle stage of Qi training. Therefore, a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training can theoretically live to the mortal limit of 150 years without any illness or disaster. In addition, there are three very critical time points in the practice of Qi training practitioners, namely, breaking through the middle stage of Qi training before the age of sixty, breaking through the late stage of Qi training before the age of ninety, and breaking through the foundation-building stage before the age of one hundred. If you fail to break through within the specified time, your true energy will gradually weaken and the possibility of a breakthrough will be greatly reduced. The true Qi in the early stage of Qi training is too thin. After the age of sixty, one begins to gradually become old and weak. Most of the true Qi must be used to maintain vitality, and the true Qi will be depleted year by year. After the age of ninety, the true Qi of a cultivator in the early stage of Qi training will be completely exhausted and can no longer maintain the vitality in the body. Therefore, the lifespan of a cultivator in the early stage of Qi training is generally around ninety years old. The same is true for those in the middle stage of Qi training. Although their true Qi is more powerful, they can only maintain their peak physical condition at around 90 years old. They need to break through the late stage of Qi training to maintain peak combat power for another 30 years. In the later stages of Qi training, with the nourishment of powerful true Qi, the peak strength can be maintained to about 120 years old, but the maximum lifespan is no more than 150 years. As for breaking through the foundation-building stage, it is extremely energy-consuming and one must ensure that one's physical condition is maintained at its peak. Therefore, one needs to break through before the age of 100, otherwise the hope of success will be greatly reduced. Lin Shengwu in front of him is already 87 years old, but his cultivation is stuck at the sixth level of Qi training. If he cannot break through within three years, his cultivation may never be able to advance any further. The other person, on the other hand, looks extremely young and has much greater potential for the future. As expected, Old Man Ye immediately said, "That man is called Lin Xuanhe. He is only 25 years old this year. He has already cultivated to the middle stage of Qi Refining. He is the core descendant of the next generation of the Lin family." Ye Linyuan couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard that. At the age of 25, he was already at the fourth level of Qi training, and his aptitude was considered good among the foundation-building forces. If he joined the foundation-building immortal clan, even if he couldn't become a core descendant, he could at least be cultivated as an inner disciple. After all, the peak period of the middle stage of Qi training can last until the age of ninety. Lin Xuanhe still has more than sixty years of peak period in the future, and breaking through to the late stage of Qi training is almost a foregone conclusion. If they were placed in a foundation-building sect, and there was a foundation-building ancestor who was willing to accept them as disciples, it would not be a problem for them to cultivate to the perfection of Qi Refining, and they might even have a chance to impact the foundation-building realm. Of course, the Lin family's foundation is less than one percent of that of the Foundation Establishment Immortal Sect, so it is extremely difficult to cultivate them to the perfection of Qi training. The title of the book has been changed, and the cover will be changed after some time, so that some readers will not have difficulty finding the book. Some readers say that the title is not very good, but this kind of title is more popular in the current market. After all, the author is not a great writer, so it is better to cater to the market as much as possible. If the book performs well in the future, I will consider changing it to a more fairy-like name. (End of this chapter)
