Lingxiao Immortal Clan

Two months later.

At the top of Lingxiao Mountain, in the cave cultivation quiet room.

Ling Yunhong, who had been in seclusion for two months after taking six second-grade low-grade stone spirit walnuts in succession, felt that the Dantian in his abdomen had been filled with liquid spiritual power, touching the bottleneck of the sixth level of foundation building. His expression moved slightly and he opened his mouth. Binocular.

He waved his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, calling out the remaining seven stone spirit walnuts on his body.

Looking at these seven stone spirit walnuts, a bright light flashed in his eyes.

"The time is ripe to break through to the sixth level of foundation building. Whether you can successfully enter the sixth level of foundation building depends on these seven stone spirit walnuts that contain pure spiritual power."

With a groan, Ling Yunhong first placed four of the Stone Spirit Walnuts beside him, then fired three bursts of spiritual power to shatter the shells of the remaining three Stone Spirit Walnuts in his hand, peeled out the walnut flesh, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The shells of the three Shiling walnuts contained very little spiritual energy. The real essence was the walnut pulp, and the walnut shells were very hard and had no effect on Ling Yunhong, so he put them aside.

As soon as the pulp of the three stone spirit walnuts entered his belly, Ling Yunhong felt a huge and pure spiritual power filling all the meridians of his body.

Ling Yunhong didn't dare to delay, so he quickly closed his eyes, activated his skills, and frantically refined the spiritual power contained in the three walnut meats, sending them into his Dantian.

At the same time, he also set off a huge wave of spiritual energy, frantically absorbing the rich spiritual power in this training room into his body.

Relying on the pure spiritual power contained in the three walnut meats, the rich spiritual power in the training room, and the spiritual power in his own Dantian, he crazily attacked the bottleneck of the Dantian.

Such a continuous impact lasted for nearly half a day. Although the bottleneck of the dantian was shaken, and even several small cracks appeared on the bottleneck, the spiritual power contained in the three walnut pulps in the belly was also refined.

There is hope that the bottleneck will be broken, so Ling Yunhong is naturally unwilling to stop.

He calculated how much spiritual power he would need to break through the bottleneck, then picked up the two stone spirit walnuts placed beside him, used his spiritual power to shatter the shells of the two walnuts, and ate the pulp to refine it. It turned into liquid spiritual power and hit the bottleneck again.

One day later, when Ling Yunhong's frantic absorption of the rich spiritual energy in the practice quiet room stopped, a shattering sound also sounded in his Dantian.

Following this, his aura quickly increased, and he successfully entered the sixth level of foundation building.

"I have finally broken through this bottleneck. With this level of cultivation, I, the Ling family, have some confidence to challenge the Pingyun Yang family."

Ling Yunhong opened his eyes and felt the benefits brought by this breakthrough in cultivation. His face lit up with joy and he muttered to himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes again and started to use his skills to refine the remaining power of the two stone spirit walnut pulps he had taken for the second time in his belly to consolidate his cultivation.

Half a month later, when Ling Yunhong had consolidated his cultivation, he left this quiet training room and left the cave.

He first went to the clan treasury and took out a lot of spiritual objects.

He also found Ling Pengxing, a new foundation-building monk in the clan, and gave one of the two remaining second-level low-grade stone spirit walnuts to Ling Pengxing.

Finally, he went to the General Affairs Hall to find Ling Pengliang, the new chief elder of the Ling clan.

Ling Yunhong felt that Ling Pengliang's aura was nearly twice as strong as it was two months before the retreat. His expression moved slightly and he spoke.

"The seventh level of Qi training is not bad. Practice hard and strive to reach the perfection of Qi training as soon as possible. This will also allow you to secure your position as the elder of the family."

"If you can reach the perfection of qi training before other clan members, the Xiaobailing water I got two years ago can also be given to you first."

"After that, the family can also prepare another pulse-protecting pill for you."

When Ling Pengliang heard this, his eyes suddenly became hot.

He originally agreed to the previous generation of great elder Ling Jinxian to take up the position of great elder, which had many affairs, was extremely time-consuming, and would slow down the progress of cultivation. The main reason was that the great elder was in the middle and upper echelons of the clan. If the family could be established, The base spirit creature will definitely take priority over him.

"Thank you, Third Patriarch." Ling Pengliang thanked him with his hands in hand.

"There is no need to thank you. Whether you can get the family's Little Bailing Water and Pulse Protection Pill depends entirely on you. In recent months, has anyone from the Yang family come to look for me?" Ling Yunhong waved his hand in reply, and then asked .

"Yes, Yang Changxing, the supreme elder of the Yang family, came to the mountains two months ago to look for you. However, when he learned that you were in seclusion and would be difficult to leave for a short period of time, he left a storage bag and left. here."

Ling Pengliang took out a storage bag from the counter compartment in front of him, handed it to Ling Yunhong, and replied.

Hearing this, Ling Yunhong reached out and took the storage bag.

There was no spiritual brand placed in this storage bag, so Ling Yunhong injected his spiritual consciousness into it very easily.

In an instant, three medicine bottles and a letter tilted out of the storage bag.

Ling Yunhong took the three medicine bottles in his hands, opened the bottle caps, and poured out the six pills contained in them. He looked at them carefully and found that there were no defects in the efficacy of these pills, and they were all of medium quality. When he took the Spirit Gathering Pill, he took the six Spirit Gathering Pills back into the three medicine bottles.

Then, he picked up the letter on the ground and read it carefully.

There were a lot of small words written on it.

"My family is busy with affairs. Since Fellow Daoist Ling is in retreat, I will return to the family first. The fifteen acres of yellow bud grass that matures every three years on the spiritual veins of Rock Scale Snake Cave will trouble Fellow Daoist Ling to pick it alone."

"The portion of yellow bud grass that belongs to my Yang family, I will come to your Ling family to get it in half a year."

"As for the three bottles of Gathering Spirit, a total of six Gathering Spirit Pills, they are the reward for Peng Yun's three years of guarding the Snake Cave Spiritual Vein."

Ling Yunhong saw that the content of Yang Changxing's letter was relatively polite, and it was indeed because he broke his promise that he was late for going to Jiaomang Lake to pick the mature yellow bud grass from the Rock Scale Snake Cave Spiritual Vein, so he didn't care that Yang Changxing asked him to travel dozens of miles alone to the Snake Cave Spiritual Vein.

He put the letter away and told Ling Pengliang.

"Pengliang, I'm going to go to the spiritual vein in the rock snake cave where Pengyun is stationed in Jiaomang Lake, and pull out the 15 acres of mature yellow bud grass planted in it."

"During the three years that Pengyun was stationed in the spiritual vein of the rock snake cave in Jiaomang Lake, I took all the salary that he didn't receive, and the spiritual stones that the family should repay him for the past three years, from the clan treasury. I will give them to him on this trip to the snake cave. These spiritual objects will be taken from the clan's account book. You will write them down in detail in the account book later."

"Okay." Ling Pengliang nodded after hearing this.

Three years ago, when Ling Pengliang had not yet become the great elder, he followed the previous great elder Ling Ruxian to learn business. Ling Ruxian told him in advance some secrets that ordinary members of the clan could hardly know.

Among them was the fact that the family and the Yang family jointly occupied the spiritual vein in the Jiaomang Lake.

"I have finished my explanation of why I am looking for you this time. During my absence, if there are any problems in the clan that you cannot solve, you should go and look for Uncle Eleven who has just retired from the position of the Great Elder, or call the other elders of the clan to discuss together in the meeting hall." Ling Yunhong instructed.

"Understood, Third Ancestor." Ling Pengliang said.

Ling Yunhong nodded lightly, turned into a breeze, and quickly left the place.

Ling Pengliang looked at Ling Yunhong's departing back, his expression slightly changed, and he muttered to himself.

"With a portion of Little Bailing Water and a Veins Protecting Pill, the probability of breaking through the foundation building can be increased by at least 10%."

"Although 10% is small, it is much better than the slim chance of breaking through the foundation building alone."

"If I miss what the Third Ancestor just promised, and the other members of the clan take the lead and break through to the perfection of Qi training first, and take the family's share of Little Bailing Water and Veins Protecting Pill, according to the family's financial situation in recent years, I may not be able to get a second-rate foundation building spiritual item before the best foundation building age."

"Compared to the rest of the clan, I have Although his aptitude for cultivation is not much better than theirs, his salary is much higher than theirs. He can use this to buy spiritual fruits with pure spiritual power far superior to the effects of cultivation pills, or spiritual waters of heaven and earth without impurities and containing huge and pure spiritual power, so as to open up a new realm of cultivation. "

After thinking this way, Ling Pengliang also made up his mind to use the more than 100 spiritual stones he had saved in recent years to buy a first-grade high-quality magic weapon, which failed to reach the second level two months ago.

As for the purchase of a first-grade high-quality magic weapon, it was postponed indefinitely. Anyway, he is now the eldest elder of the family and rarely goes out of the family.

…

Eight days later.

Ling Yunhong, who left Lingxiao Mountain, entered the Xiyang Market in Xiyang County, which is adjacent to the territory of Jiaomang Lake in the territory of Bailingmen.

As soon as he entered the market, Ling Yunhong went straight to the two-story loft-style Lingxiao Duobao Pavilion opened by the family with a large courtyard.

This shop is the only shop opened by the Ling family in Xiyang Market. It mainly sells elixirs, magic tools, talismans, and spiritual rice.

There are also some other spiritual objects, but not many, and the quality is not very good.

However, even so, this Duobao Pavilion still has a good business, especially the elixir, relying on elixirs, magic tools, talismans, and spiritual rice.

Every month, Duobao Pavilion will take out a bottle of two second-level inferior spirit-gathering pills for sale.

This also makes this Duobao Pavilion often visited by foundation-building monks, which also drives the reputation of Duobao Pavilion and makes the flow of people to a higher level.

In addition, the Xiyang Market where this shop is located is located close to the Jiaomang Lake, so there are many people.

The family specially sent four members of the family, Ling Yunfeng, the only first-class top-grade talisman maker, Ling Yunan, the first-class top-grade weapon refiner, Ling Yunhui, the first-class middle-grade alchemist, and Ling Xiaojiang, the first-class low-grade alchemist who followed Ling Yunhui to learn alchemy, to Duobao Pavilion to refine spiritual objects for Duobao Pavilion.

After Ling Yunhong entered Lingxiao Duobao Pavilion, he found Ling Yunfu, the fourth elder of the Ling family who handled all the miscellaneous matters in Duobao Pavilion.

There were many people in Duobao Pavilion, and Ling Yunfu saw Ling Yunhong coming and took him to a quiet room in the backyard of Duobao Pavilion.

"Tenth brother, have you heard about the riot of the hundred-year-old monster recently?" Ling Yunhong asked as soon as he entered the quiet room.

Ling Yunfu is the only son of Ling Ruxian, the last great elder of the Ling family, and ranks tenth in the Yun generation.

Since the Ling family and the Yang family occupied the snake cave spiritual vein in the Jiaomang Lake area and planted spiritual plants three years ago, Ling Yunhong entrusted Ling Yunfu, who was in charge of Duobao Pavilion, to pay more attention to the 100-year monster beast riot. If there is any change, he must immediately report it to the Hui clan.

This move is also to avoid the arrival of the 100-year monster beast riot, and Ling Pengyun, who is stationed in the snake cave spiritual vein in the Jiaomang Lake area, is in danger.

This time, Ling Yunhong went to the snake cave spiritual vein in the Jiaomang Lake area to collect yellow bud grass. He happened to pass through Xiyang Market, so he came to ask about it and also to see the business of Duobao Pavilion.

"I haven't heard the exact time when the 100-year monster beast riot started, but four days ago, I heard a familiar customer who often came to Duobao Pavilion to buy cultivation pills and hunt monsters for a living complained a few words."

"According to the familiar customer, in the past five or six days, even if you only go two or three thousand miles deep into the Jiaomang Lake, you will often encounter groups of monsters, making it extremely difficult to kill monsters. In the past, when you go deep into the Jiaomang Lake at this distance, although there are also groups of monsters, they are not many."

"If what the cultivator said is true, I am afraid that the hundred-year beast tide will come soon."

"Three days ago, I have passed this news back to the clan through the cultivator who specializes in delivering letters in the market. It is estimated that the cultivator who delivers the letter is still on the way." Ling Yunfu frowned and said when he heard it.

"This matter is nine out of ten true. We have not gone deep into the Jiaomang Lake. Recently, there have been many news about groups of monsters. It is estimated that it will spread out in a few days. While the prices in the market have not skyrocketed, you should buy more auxiliary medicines needed for refining pills, spiritual iron for refining magic tools, talisman grass for refining talisman paper, or monster skins." Ling Yunhong heard the words, his face sank, and said.

"Third brother, I understand this. When I heard this news from a familiar customer who hunted monsters for a living four days ago, I started to act in this way and entrusted the monks who specialize in delivering letters in the market to pass on the matter of purchasing spiritual objects to the managers of the family's stores in various markets with letters." Ling Yunfu said, took out a bulging storage bag from his storage bag and handed it to Ling Yunhong.

"Third brother, this storage bag contains the auxiliary medicines that I have searched for in Xiyang Market in the past three days and can be used to refine dozens of furnaces of second-level inferior spirit-gathering pills."

"The spiritual stones used to purchase these spiritual materials are all from the account of Duobao Pavilion."

"The hundred-year monster riot is not far away, and the auxiliary medicines for refining this spirit-gathering pill are not grown in the family. I am afraid that if the monster riots, it will be troublesome to send this batch of materials back to the family. I originally planned to buy another batch of auxiliary medicines in the next two days and send them back to the family together. I didn't expect that you, third brother, came, so I gave these auxiliary medicines to you first."

Ling Yunhong was very satisfied with this answer.

"Tenth brother, you are indeed smart in business, but you still need to pay more attention to the matter of childbearing. I believe that the news of the abdication of the eleventh uncle must have been told to you when the eighteenth brother led a convoy to this store to deliver supplies a month before the news of the abdication of the eleventh uncle."

"Although you have many children, none of them has spiritual roots to take up the responsibility of your lineage."

"Don't let the eleventh uncle leave this world with such regrets."

Ling Yunfu's eyes darkened, and he said helplessly. "Third brother, it is too difficult to give birth to a child with spiritual roots. I will try my best. If it doesn't work, I will marry two more wives."

"You can do it, but the concubine you take must have a clean background and treat her well, and don't treat her unfairly." Ling Yunhong said.

"Understood." Ling Yunfu nodded.

Afterwards, Ling Yunhong asked Ling Yunfu about the business of Duobao Pavilion again, and then left.
