The Lin Family Chronicles

At the seventh layer of Qi Refining, Lin Feng is expelled from his sect. Clutching half of a worn-down wooden identity token, he steps into the lawless wilderness of the cultivation world, where the strong prey on the weak. He has no illustrious ancestry or heaven-defying treasures, only a copy of The Hundred Herbs Canon he found and an unyielding resilience deep in his bones. When bandits ambush him in the wilderness, he throws a stone with the strength of a seventh-layer Qi Refiner and saves Su Meier, who is being pursued. That throw wins him a cultivation partner and opens the long road from rogue cultivator to founding ancestor of a clan. Through alchemy, crafting, talismans, and formations, he glimpses the Great Dao in the miscellaneous arts. By taking in orphans and secretly nurturing them, he lays hidden foundations for his family while still in the Foundation Establishment stage. When he withdraws from the public eye and watches the descendants he personally cultivated climb the steps of the Purple Mansion, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation realms, planting the Lin family banner across every inch of the cultivation world, he finally realizes... The boy expelled from his mountain sect one early autumn has, through years of tempering, become a legend the entire cultivation world can only look up to. And the Lin family, once a tiny settlement in a remote corner of the wilderness, has become the foremost clan, spanning the heavens and subduing countless races. This is a story of perseverance and legacy, and of an ordinary man who uses wisdom and patience to write an epic family saga in a vast and turbulent world of immortal cultivation. The blurb doesn’t do it justice. Please read the story for yourself.
