Chapter 236: Return to Qingyun

The other mine vein was the mine tunnel where the Earth Armored Beast family, Jin Yi and Jin Er, were staying, producing first-tier medium-grade Yellow Earth Crystal ores.

Lin Zhangqing estimated its scale as a small mine vein, but now the mine cave had been dug for five or six miles, and it hadn't been finished yet, so it shouldn't just be a small mine vein.

However, Lin Zhangqing didn't think much of this Yellow Earth Crystal mine vein, mainly because its value was too low. There were already several thousand cubic meters piled up in the inner space, which was only worth about fifty thousand spirit stones.

Moreover, it was the result of Lin Zhangqing's transportation for six or seven months. To be honest, it was a bit thankless.

It wasn't as good as Lin Zhangqing going to the stone gambling workshop himself and buying two medium-grade raw ores, which would have this income.

So he let the Earth Armored Beast family dig and mess around inside; anyway, the value of the things wasn't high, so no matter how they messed it up, he wouldn't feel heartache.

When Jin Yi and their family didn't want to stay there in the future, he would let Lin Zhangliu clean up the mine vein; at that time, it definitely wouldn't be wasted.

The rest was himself. When he set off, he had just broken through to the eighth layer of Qi Refining.

When he returned, he had already advanced to the Qi Refining Great Perfection, and most importantly, he had completed the transfer of the Five Elements Chaos Sutra cultivation method.

This made his own foundation as solid as a rock, and the quality of his spiritual energy was five times that of the ordinary Qi Refining stage. Most importantly, it allowed him to walk higher and further on the immortal path.

Also, the cultivation of the Thunder True Scripture had opened fourteen thunder apertures, and his cultivation in body refining had also successfully advanced to the first stage of body refining, which could be considered the entry level of body refining.

The next day, early in the morning, after Lin Zhangqing got up, he first completed the basic cultivation of the Five Elements Chaos Sutra.

Although he was already at the Qi Refining Great Perfection, it was best to maintain a certain amount of cultivation time every day to stay in peak condition, to ensure successful Foundation Establishment.

Next was feeding the spirit pets in the spirit beast bracelet. Chu Yi and Chu Er were fed demon beast meat and Spirit Nurturing Pills, and Mao Qiu was just given one Spirit Nurturing Pill, which was enough.

The Purple Crystal Scorpions were a bit more troublesome; the demon beast meat had to be crushed into pieces for them to eat conveniently.

And the one hundred portions of ice crystals given by Senior Chen Jieyi at the beginning were also used up the day before yesterday, so Lin Zhangqing threw out several hundred spirit stones today to replace the spirit crystals, letting the little fellows gnaw on them slowly.

Before returning to Nine Peaks Mountain, he had to pay attention to top-grade spirit crystals when he had time!

Otherwise, in these few days back to the Qingyun market, he should take some time to go to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion again and buy one or two hundred portions to store! After feeding the spirit beasts, Lin Zhangqing took back the Small Five Elements Maze Array in the room, scanned it twice with his divine sense, confirmed there were no omissions, and went to the next door to find Chen Zi Ya.

He prepared to spend the remaining time with Chen Zi Ya.

From now on, he had to cherish time well. The two should practice more physical exercises beneficial to body and mind, such as stamping and mountaineering.

Because after handing in the task this time, there would definitely be a relatively long period where the two couldn't see each other.

He triggered the restriction on Chen Zi Ya's door, and soon she opened the door and let Lin Zhangqing in.

Seeing the spirit tea on the table, he knew she had been waiting for him early in the morning, laughed "Hehe!", picked up Chen Zi Ya's cup, and drank it.

Chen Zi Ya was already accustomed to it, poured him another cup, and then asked, "Senior Brother, what arrangements do you have when we return to Qingyun City? Are we going back to the cave abode rented by Uncle and the others first to see Grandfather Lin and the two uncles, or are we going back to Chengxia Peak first to see Grandmother and Great-Grandmother?"

Lin Zhangqing had already thought about this question. Coming over this time was also to tell Chen Zi Ya about this matter.

After organizing his language slightly, he said, "Junior Sister, I think we should go back to see Grandfather, Father, and Second Uncle first."

"Let them know we returned safe and sound, so they won't have to worry anymore."

"You must have seen my grandfather, but my father and second uncle probably haven't. This time is just right; you see my father and second uncle first, and you won't be so nervous in the future."

"Anyway, the ugly daughter-in-law has to meet the parents-in-law! Then, we will go to the Qingyun Sect to see Senior Chen Jieyi and Great-Grandmother."

Hearing this, Chen Zi Ya became nervous, completely ignoring Lin Zhangqing's comment about her being an ugly daughter-in-law.

Chen Zi Ya wanted to speak but stopped, and finally couldn't help asking, "Senior Brother, will your family dislike me? Will they think my personality is too cold and not suitable to be a daughter-in-law?" Lin Zhangqing heard this and couldn't help but laugh out loud; he didn't expect Chen Zi Ya to have this day too.

Of course, he just laughed for a moment, then hurriedly comforted Chen Zi Ya, "You are already very good; you really don't need to think too much. They will definitely like you."

"Look at how beautiful you are, how kind and filial you are, how good your spirit roots are, and you are about to establish your foundation, and you are also a formation master."

"Look at how many advantages you have; everyone likes you when they see you. Look, I like you so much."

After speaking, he held Chen Zi Ya in his arms and stamped her several times fiercely.

Actually, there was one more thing Lin Zhangqing didn't say, which was that Chen Zi Ya represented the Chen family to a certain extent.

The Chen and Lin families had been friends for generations for hundreds of years, but they hadn't truly intermarried.

Now that Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya were a pair, if the Clan Leader and Grandfather knew, they would be overjoyed. How could they not support it! Maybe they couldn't wait for Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya to get married immediately!

So Chen Zi Ya's worry was purely redundant, but Lin Zhangqing couldn't tell her; he didn't want to make their relationship so complicated.

A Dao companion is a Dao companion because they are together because they like each other, not because of other factors.

He knew Chen Zi Ya must be feeling uneasy now and needed Lin Zhangqing to give her support and confidence, so he could only express it in this way.

Chen Zi Ya heard Lin Zhangqing list so many advantages for her, and her heart felt a little more at ease, and then she began to ask about the preferences of Lin Zhangqing's family.

Lin Zhangqing understood what she meant and introduced the situation of his family as detailed as possible, so she could have a bottom line in her heart and not be so uneasy.

With Lin Zhangqing's various comforts and introductions, Chen Zi Ya finally built up her psychological construction, preparing to meet Lin Zhangqing's family in a few hours.

And Lin Zhangqing was also worried that she would think too much, so for these few hours, he was sharing with Chen Zi Ya the things he did in Nine Peaks Mountain when he was a child.

Trying his best to keep her in a happy mood, just not letting Chen Zi Ya have free time to think wildly.

When the guest ship was about to land, Lin Zhangqing pulled Chen Zi Ya to the ship's side to wait. Basically, as soon as the guest ship stopped steadily.

They handed in the vouchers, and then Lin Zhangqing piloted the flying boat, taking Chen Zi Ya to fly toward the Qingyun market.

From the time he accepted Senior Chen Jieyi's task and set off, to the time he returned, he hadn't seen his family for seven or eight months. Lin Zhangqing missed his grandfather and father very much now.

Besides, he also brought Chen Zi Ya, and he also wanted them to see her and be happy, so Lin Zhangqing and his companion could be considered the most active ones to get off the ship.

This landing field was quite close to Qingyun City, only about ten miles away, so they entered the Qingyun market very quickly.

Once in the market, they could only walk, so he held Chen Zi Ya's hand and walked all the way to the cave abode rented by his father and the others.

In a short while, they arrived at the door. He gave Chen Zi Ya a look to relax and comforted her, "Junior Sister, don't worry! You are the best."

"Just be natural as we usually are; they will definitely like you very much. I guarantee it."

Chen Zi Ya tightened Lin Zhangqing's hand, nodded, and whispered, "Senior Brother, I'm ready. Don't worry!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded, cast a spell into the restriction on the door, and then waited at the door with Chen Zi Ya.

Soon, a crack appeared on the door, and a middle-aged cultivator came out, looked at the two people in front of him, and asked, "Two fellow Daoists, triggering the restriction on the door, is there something the matter?"
