The remaining three families are Liu, Li, and Wang, which are all Qi-training families founded by independent practitioners in recent decades.
The strength of the three ancestors is slightly weaker than that of the Ye family. They do not have a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi training, but their cultivation is at the fourth or fifth level of Qi training.
"The six people from the five families have all reached the middle stage of Qi Refining."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then looked at Old Man Ye.
But the old man Ye exchanged a few pleasantries with everyone, and then he said directly: "The Lin family is too bullying. If we allow them to 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 if we have anything to say."
"Brother Tianke is right. We cannot just sit there and wait for death."
Qian Boran nodded, then looked at the others and said, "Let's work together to put some pressure on the Lin family."
"Then let's go."
Zhang Daoyang also nodded, revealing a hint of determination.
This time, Lin's ruthless behavior completely disgusted the three major families of Zhang, Qian, and Ye, and gave them the opportunity to reach a tacit understanding.
The other three families also hated the Lin family, but the weak needed to stick together for warmth, so 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 drove a 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 docking. As soon as they landed on Chixing Island, they saw a group of people who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
The leader was Lin Shengyang. He scanned the crowd 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 got straight to the point and said, "We are here today to ask for the spirit stones that we agreed upon."
"so it is."
Lin Shengyang nodded, and then said, "I see that you three look well, I think the snake venom in your body has been removed. I would like to congratulate you all."
"Thanks to your Lin family, I am still alive today. I am sorry to disappoint you, fellow Taoist."
Zhang Daoyang spoke coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
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.
Everyone in the group had some experience in cultivation, so it didn't take them much time to arrive at the Lin family's dojo.
This is a sprawling dojo consisting of dozens of monks' residences. In front of the dojo is a spacious platform square, where the Lin family members usually practice and exchange skills.
At this time, there were already more than twenty monks standing in the square, led by two monks 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 training, while the young cultivator was only at the fourth level, yet he looked exceptionally young.
As expected, the moment he saw the two of them, Old Man Ye immediately sent a message to Ye Linyuan: "The white-haired old man's name is Lin Shengwu, his cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi training, and his strength is not inferior to mine."
"But he is already eighty-seven years old. If he cannot break through to the later stage of Qi training within three years, it will be difficult for him to break through in the future."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Although they are all Qigong practitioners, the different levels of cultivation will bring very different lifespans.
Among them, the life span of people in the early stage of Qi training is no different from that of ordinary people, but by relying on true Qi to maintain vitality, they can live beyond 90 years old without any illness or disaster.
In the middle stage of Qi training, the true Qi is even richer, and one can generally live to 120 years old without any illness 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 disease or disaster.
In addition, there are three very critical time nodes 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 node, 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 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 life span of a cultivator in the early stage of Qi training is generally around ninety years old.
The same is true for the middle stage of Qi training. Although their true Qi is richer, they can only maintain the 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 the vigorous true Qi, one's peak strength can be maintained until about 120 years old, but the life span limit 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 very 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 and has already reached the middle stage of Qi training. 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 qualifications were 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 sure thing.
If he were placed in a foundation-building sect, and there was a foundation-building ancestor who was willing to accept him as a disciple, it would not be a problem for him to cultivate to the perfection of refining qi, and he 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, in case some readers 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. When the book performs well in the future, consider changing it to a more fairy-like name.
