Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 5 Crisis
A month later.

Next to the Lin family's spiritual field, inside the cave.

Strands of spiritual energy continued to gather at the tip of the pen, and under Lin Changyue's precise control, they continued to merge into the talisman paper, and runes quickly took shape.

hum~
As the last stroke was made, the red light on the talisman paper quickly dimmed, but if it was activated with a little magic power, a terrifying flame would erupt and sweep around.

Lin Changyue wiped the sweat from his forehead. After his tense spirit relaxed, he felt tired.

"The Flame Explosion Talisman finally succeeded, but my cultivation was holding me back..."

The Flame Explosion Talisman is one of the most lethal talismans among the first-grade top-grade talismans. The power it unleashes is equivalent to a full-strength attack from a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Qi training. Generally, cultivators in the late stage of Qi training cannot withstand it.

It is a super-enhanced version of the first-level low-grade talisman fireball technique.

With Lin Changyue's attainment in the second-grade lower-grade talisman skills, drawing a first-grade upper-grade talisman is technically easy and has no difficulty at all.

However, drawing talismans not only requires sufficient mana, but also spiritual awareness!

Lin Changyue was only at the third level of Qi Refining, and his talisman pen was only of the middle grade of the first level. Drawing a middle grade talisman was not difficult for him, but drawing a top grade talisman was very difficult for him.

Drawing one high-quality talisman a day is the limit. If you force yourself to draw a second one, you will not be able to accurately control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. You will run out of energy when you draw halfway and the talisman paper will spontaneously combust.

As for the top-notch first-grade talismans like the Flame Explosion Talisman, it took several days of continuous failure before it finally succeeded.

"I still need to improve my cultivation to the fourth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible."

"With my Qi Refining mid-stage cultivation, no matter what first-grade, top-grade talisman, it won't be difficult for me."

"There's even hope of trying to make a second-order talisman!"

Lin Changyue thought in his mind.

How to improve your cultivation? Of course, marry more wives, work harder, and have more children!

In a dozen days, the family will bring back a group of 'newcomers', and then Lin Changyue must select a few more!
A few more days passed.

Lin Changyue had used up all the spiritual ink and talisman paper he had, and now he had a lot of finished talismans piled up in his hands.

Except for a few cleaning talismans and fireball talismans used for practicing at the beginning, which are first-grade low-quality talismans, the remaining 24 are all high-grade talismans!

Among them are talismans like the Flame Explosion Talisman and the Black Armor Talisman, which are top-notch among the first-grade superior ones.

If these talismans were sold in major markets, they could at least fetch a few hundred low-grade spirit stones.

If you meet a generous buyer, it is not difficult to get thousands!
Therefore, the talisman industry has very high profits. As long as you reach the first-level high-quality talisman master, the profits will be several times higher.

If someone like Lin Changyue possessed second-level talisman skills and could use slightly inferior materials to draw fine talismans, the profit would be more than ten times higher!
"These talismans can't be seen in public right now, so I can only take them outside and sell them secretly..."

Lin Changyue felt helpless.

He has only been learning to draw talismans for less than two months.

How to explain to others that he can draw first-grade, top-quality talismans?
"First, I'll borrow some spirit stones from someone to buy materials for the talisman."

Lin Changyue was thinking in his mind.

But before he could take action, he suddenly received bad news.

Lin Changji is back. He was the cousin who was previously in charge of guarding the spiritual field and who had just broken through the fourth level of Qi Refining and took the initiative to apply to go to the front line to fight with the Zhou family.

When he came to Lingtian to hand over the shift to Lin Changyue, the sleeve of his left arm was empty.

"Changji, what are you doing..." Lin Changyue pinched his empty sleeves and his eyes turned red.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Changji grinned, then said gloomily: "Compared to many of my clansmen who died on the front lines, I'm lucky. At least I still have my life."

Lin Changyue quickly inquired about the battle situation on the front line.

"The Zhou family is shameless!"

Lin Changji gritted his teeth, his eyes full of anger.

On the front lines, the Lin family suffered a crushing defeat, with over a dozen of their young and strong cultivators killed and many more injured. The feud between the Lin and Zhou families had lasted for over sixty years, and this was the heaviest loss of life yet.

The reason was that the Zhou family's foundation-building ancestor actually came to the front line secretly and took action in a battle, causing the Lin family to be completely defeated and suffer heavy casualties.

According to the previous agreement between the two parties, the foundation-building cultivators cannot take part in the battle personally.

However, the Zhou family does not abide by the rules. Now the ancestor of the Lin family has also led several elders of the clan who have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and rushed to the front line in person to avenge this great hatred.

……

Lin Changyue returned to Lingzhu Peak with a heavy heart.

He was saddened by the deaths and injuries of his clansmen on the front line, and was even more worried about whether the clan leader and the three elders would fall into the Zhou family's trap.

The Zhou family suddenly broke the rules that had been in place for decades, and the foundation-building ancestor personally took action. In addition to wanting to take the opportunity to weaken the young and strong cultivators of the Lin family, making the already short of successors of the Lin family even worse, Lin Changyue was even more worried about whether the Zhou family had deeper plans!
For example, their real purpose in doing this was to deliberately lure the Lin family's foundation-building ancestor to personally take action, leave the clan's territory, and ambush outside...

"I can think of it. The ancestors and elders must have thought of it. There must be a perfect plan." Lin Changyue could only comfort himself in his heart.

He is still a nobody and has no say, so even if he has any ideas, he can't express them.

"Maybe I need to plan ahead a little bit!"

The sudden entry of the Zhou family's foundation-building ancestor cast a dark cloud over the Lin family, and Lin Changyue needed to emerge faster.

Even if he cannot provide the family with second-level talismans in a short period of time, the family's strength will be greatly improved with a first-level top-grade talisman master.

In the following days, Lin Changyue spent time with his two wives, Huang Ying'er and Ding Qingxue, at home, and told them in advance that he would marry a few more sisters to them in the future.

It just so happened that the family had encountered a great disaster this time, with heavy casualties among the clan members, and they needed a lot of new people to recruit.

The two women naturally had no objection and expressed their support for their husbands.

They had already prepared themselves mentally to marry into the Immortal Sect.

They were very touched and felt very happy that Lin Changyue was so considerate and took their feelings into consideration.

Moreover, just like the child born by Huang Ying'er had no spiritual roots, Lin Changyue did not dislike it at all. Besides practicing and drawing talismans, he would hold the child and play with him in his spare time.

Seeing Lin Changyue's attitude, Ding Qingxue, who was more than five months pregnant and had a big belly, felt much more relaxed.

Her elder sister Huang Ying'er gave birth to a son without spiritual roots. She has been worried recently about what to do if her own child also has no spiritual roots.

The husband's cultivation level is not high, and his spiritual root qualifications are also very low. The two of them do not have spiritual roots at all, and the probability of their children having spiritual roots is too low.

……

A few days passed in a flash.

The day has come for the family to bring back new members.

The number and quality of newcomers brought back this time are the lowest in decades!
Among dozens of women, only one had spiritual roots, and they were the lowest ninth-grade spiritual roots. The rest were ordinary women.

Of the men with spiritual roots who were willing to marry into the family, only three were brought back...

The news of the Lin family's defeat in the battle with the Zhou family spread throughout a thousand miles. Rumors spread that the Lin family was in danger and might be swallowed up by the Zhou family.

Under such circumstances, the number of cultivators willing to join the Lin family is naturally much smaller than before.

The four 'immortal seedlings' brought back this time were probably new to the world of immortal cultivation and knew nothing about the surrounding situation, otherwise they would not be willing to join the Lin family.

Looking at the quality of the 'new couple', the Lin family members who came to get married felt unhappy and could not be happy about something that should have been a happy thing.

Some people simply turned around and left, going back to work hard and practice diligently.

Lin Changyue followed the plan and selected three young women who caught his eye at a time.

Two of them are twin sisters.

The family is in crisis, so he can only suffer and work harder.
