Lingxiao Immortal Clan

After continuing on the road for five days and crossing tens of thousands of miles, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong finally returned to Lingxiao Mountain, the mountain of the Ling clan.

Because Ling Yunhong, a foundation-building monk, escorted him home, everything was peaceful all the way.

As soon as they returned to Lingxiao Mountain, the two went straight to the General Affairs Hall halfway up the mountain.

General Affairs Hall.

Ling Jin, the eldest elder of the Ling family, who was standing at the counter and checking the family's account books, looked happy when he saw Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun return to Clan Mountain.

But after a quick glance, he found a child he had never seen before standing next to them. There was a look of doubt on his face, and he asked three questions in succession.

"Yunhong, Pengyun, are you still safe when you return from Lingyun Mountain?"

"Did Yunliu reach Lingyun Mountain safely?"

"Who is this child?"

"Everything is safe. This child's name is Ling Xin. He has spiritual roots. He was found by Pengyun during the spirit testing conference held on January 1 this year in Lingyun Town, a mortal city next to Lingyun Mountain."

Ling Yunhong touched the shy little Lingxin's head and said with a smile.

"It's a good thing to have one more clan member with spiritual roots." Ling Jin heard the words first and looked at little Ling Xin. The smile on his face became even happier and he said kindly.

"Uncle Eleven, during the days I left, did anything major happen at home?" Ling Yunhong asked.

"There are no big things, but there are a lot of small things. The other tribes in Huaishui County have also undergone some changes in the past two years. I can't finish them all in a while." Ling Jin said first.

Ling Yunhong frowned, thought about it carefully, and then suggested.

"I haven't been in the clan for two years. At nightfall, I will summon you and the other elders in the clan to the meeting hall. You can talk to me together."

"Okay." Ling Ru nodded first.

"Uncle Eleven, I have nothing to do, so I will leave here first." Ling Yunhong nodded and left the place.

Ling Ruxian, Ling Pengyun, and Xiao Lingxin watched Ling Yunhong leave before starting to chat.

"Peng Yun, I see that your aura is three points stronger than when I met you two years ago. Have you already entered the ninth level of Qi training?" Ling Jin first noticed a change in Ling Pengyun's aura and raised his eyebrows. , asked.

"Yes, two years ago I bought three bottles of Evergreen Spiritual Water from Yunshui Xiaohui. Relying on these three bottles of Evergreen Spiritual Water, my great-grandson made a breakthrough by chance." Ling Pengyun briefly talked about his cultivation, and then told his appeal tell.

"Eleventh great-grandfather, now I have reached the ninth level of Qi training, and I have also completed the five-year mission of stationing in Lingyun Mountain. I have no mission anymore. I just want to apply to you for not going out to do missions for a long time. I am in the clan. "Chinese retreat."

"The spiritual energy in the clan mountain is rich. If I can practice in the clan for a long time, it will be of great benefit to me in purifying my spiritual power and reaching the perfection of Qi training."

Ling Pengyun has never been secretive about his cultivation. Only when his cultivation improves quickly will his family pay attention to it.

As for not accepting family tasks for a long time and staying in seclusion for a long time, this is something that every Ling clan member can do.

However, only when a critical bottleneck is reached can one apply to the clan for long-term seclusion.

For example, it takes a long time to break through from the peak of the third level of Qi training to the fourth level of Qi training and enter the middle stage of Qi training, and it takes a long time to break through from the peak of the sixth level of Qi training to the seventh level of Qi training, etc. These are key bottlenecks.

"This is a good thing. I agree that you will stay in seclusion in the clan for a long time." Ling Jin heard this first, frowned slightly, and nodded in agreement after hesitating.

"However, the maximum time for this retreat is ten years. Within ten years, if you have not purified all the spiritual power in your Dantian and reached the perfection of Qi training, you will need to work for the family again. The family is too short of manpower, and the spiritual energy There are many more, and you are still a spiritual husband."

"Ten years is enough." Ling Pengyun suddenly felt happy and thanked Ling Ruxian.

Not to mention ten years, even if he was given five years, he was sure to purify all the spiritual power in his Dantian and reach the stage of perfect Qi training.

There is a reason why Ling Pengyun can purify his spiritual power so quickly, which is often a problem that can trap ordinary ninth-level qi-training monks for ten or even decades in purifying their spiritual power.

The main reason is that the technique he practices is the Qi Training Chapter Bishui Jue of the Ling family's ancestral technique "Bi Hai Zhen Jing".

Although Bishui Jue is the qi training chapter of the Bihai Manual, it is much better than ordinary qigong training methods.

During ordinary cultivation, the spiritual power produced by absorbing spiritual energy and purifying it is inherently more condensed than the spiritual power purified by ordinary monks.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally easier for Ling Pengyun to compress his spiritual power to the limit and enter the realm of perfection than for ordinary monks.

"Ten years is enough time. When I went to Lingyun Mountain two and a half years ago, your natal spiritual plant thorn vines were already in the late stages of Qi training. Have you made any progress in the Lingxiao Ripening Technique in the past two years?" Ling Jin asked first.

"Yes, now I use the third level of the Lingxiao Ripening Technique to barely raise the level of the spiritual plant to the first level of high-level." Ling Pengyun said.

After hearing this, Ling Ruxian was immediately overjoyed.

"Good boy, I was right when I saw you. You are a twenty-six-year-old first-level Ling Zhifu. Your promotion speed in Ling Zhi is far faster than that of me back then. It is even several years faster than Yun Hong's. , I feel relieved that the family spiritual plant will be handed over to you in the future."

When Ling Ruxian said this, Ling Pengyun's eyes narrowed and he mobilized his consciousness to scan Ling Ruxian.

Immediately, he noticed that Ling Ruxian's aura was somewhat empty, and his cultivation was also passing by very slowly.

This situation, for a monk, means that his life is short, and now he is relying on his cultivation to delay his life.

Once the cultivation is exhausted, the cultivator will not have many days to live.

"Eleventh great-grandfather, how is your health?" Ling Pengyun asked with a worried look on his face.

Ling Ruxian smiled kindly and said.

"With my current physical condition, I can hold on for another five or six years without any problem, and seven or eight years is not a problem. Living to this age is a good start and a good end for cultivators like us. Maybe you can even see you and Pengxing trying to build a foundation."

Ling Ruxian was right. The lifespan limit of a Qi training cultivator is generally around 120 years old.

However, due to various factors in the world of immortal cultivation, it is considered remarkable for ordinary cultivators to live to 100 years old.

Living to 115 or 16 years is indeed a good start and a good end.

Although this is true, Ling Pengyun felt uncomfortable when he heard that Ling Ruxian, who was like a great-grandfather to him and had helped him a lot over the years, was not going to live long.

This reminded him of his parents, including Ling Rushui, the elder who treated him well, just like Ling Ruxian.

Although Ling Rushui also has a short life span, due to the shortage of manpower in the family, he is still managing the family shop in the Yunwu Market in the Yunwu Wen Clan territory.

He was touched and distracted for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, he took out a bottle of fruit nectar that he had prepared for Ling Ruxian from his storage bag and handed it to Ling Ruxian.

"Eleventh Great Grandfather, I don't have anything to show off. This bottle of first-grade medium-quality fruit honey produced by my captive fruit bee colony tastes much better than the first-grade low-quality fruit honey I gave you. Please don't dislike it, Eleventh Great Grandfather."

"How could I dislike such a good thing? You are thoughtful. Pengyun, where do you plan to settle your fruit bee colony?" Ling Ruxian was very satisfied when he saw this. After reaching out to take the bottle of fruit honey handed over, he asked a question.

"There is already a group of colorful butterflies in the clan mountain, which need to feed on the pollen of the fruit trees in the clan. Under such circumstances, I plan to settle the group of fruit bees in the 100,000-acre orchard outside the Lingxiao town not far from the clan mountain." Before Ling Pengyun returned to the clan, he had thought of a place to settle the fruit bee colony, and he said it directly.

The Rainbow Spirit Butterfly is an extremely rare spirit butterfly that can be ranked. It usually feeds on pollen from various flowers to improve its cultivation.

Although it cannot make spirit honey with pollen, it is stronger than fruit bees.

This butterfly can cast illusions to confuse opponents, and cooperate with the maze array mastered by the Ling family to have a miraculous effect.

However, it is extremely difficult for the Rainbow Spirit Butterfly to reproduce. The pair of Rainbow Spirit Butterflies obtained by the Ling family a hundred years ago have only expanded the spirit butterfly population to twenty.

Because there are not many of these Rainbow Butterflies, many of them have low cultivation, only in the initial stage of Qi training, the family did not distribute the spirit beasts such as the Rainbow Spirit Butterfly that can cast illusions to the clan members, but handed the Rainbow Spirit Butterfly Clan to the fifth elder Ling Yunxi.

If there is an enemy, Ling Yunxi, a first-level middle-grade array master, can also set up a first-level middle-grade maze array to cooperate with the group of Rainbow Spirit Butterflies after opening the clan protection array to cause some interference to the enemy.

"Although there are many fruit trees planted in the 100,000-acre orchard outside Lingxiao Town, it is enough to raise fruit flower worker bees, but those fruit trees are just ordinary fruit trees, and there is no spiritual fruit tree. If the group of fruit flower worker bees are kept there, it may limit the development and growth of the fruit flower bee colony."

"I have a suggestion, which is to put your group of fruit flower bees in the clan mountain."

"There are many first-level spiritual trees planted in the clan mountain, and there is also a second-level low-quality stone spirit walnut tree. These spiritual fruit trees will bloom a lot of fruit flowers every spring. If your group of fruit flower bees can collect those in the mountain, The pollen from the flowers of the spiritual fruit tree is brewed into spiritual honey, which is of great benefit to both the development of the bee colony and you. "

"However, if the fruit flower bee colony is allowed to enter the clan mountain to collect pollen, it will inevitably slow down the cultivation progress of the colorful butterfly that the family has kept in captivity and also feeds on flower pollen."

"Therefore, every year, the fruit flower worker bees in your fruit flower bee colony need to hand over five taels of high-grade fruit flower honey to the family according to the number of bees, to make up for the slow progress of the colorful butterfly colony. Do you think it's okay?"

Ling Pengyun was quite tempted by this proposal and thought about it in his mind.

"If the fruit flower bee colony can collect pollen from the first-level spiritual fruit trees in the clan mountain in spring, or even from the second-level low-grade stone spiritual walnut tree, it will definitely be able to brew superior fruit flower nectar, and the five fruit flower worker bees in the middle stage of Qi training in the bee colony can also brew first-level medium-grade fruit flower nectar."

"By then, there will be a large amount of superior first-level low- and medium-grade fruit flower nectar feeding back to the bee colony, and the number of middle-stage worker bees in the bee colony will definitely double."

"With more middle-stage worker bees, the output of first-level medium-grade fruit flower nectar will also increase. The first-level low-grade fruit honey handed over to the family can be completely compensated by a large amount of high-grade fruit flower honey."

No matter what grade of fruit flower worker bees collect pollen from any fruit tree, they can only brew first-level low-grade spiritual honey. If you want to brew first-level medium- and high-grade fruit flower honey, you need the spiritual pollen from the flowers of the spiritual fruit tree.

Without spiritual pollen, it is difficult to brew first-level medium-grade or higher fruit flower nectar.
