Lingxiao Immortal Clan

Time flies.

Seven years have passed.

This year, at the beginning of summer.

On Luoxia Mountain, many people gathered in front of the stone table next to the huge green banyan tree.

Yan Siyi, Ling Xiaoshun, Yang Qiuyun, Yan Cang, even Ling Chengping, Ling Xiaoyan and others are all here.

And on the stone table surrounded by everyone, there were two people sitting.

One of them is Ling Pengyun, and the other is a seven or eight-year-old boy who looks somewhat similar to Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi.

This little boy is Ling Xia, the only son of Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi.

Today, everyone gathered here because little Lingxia was eight years old and it was time to test her spiritual roots.

The Ling family currently does not have a secret method that can detect spiritual roots in advance.

"Xia'er, are you ready?" Ling Pengyun looked at Ling Xia, who was sitting on the stone table with him, and asked with a little nervousness in his heart.

"Dad, I've been ready for a long time." Xiao Lingxia responded with an excited but slightly uneasy expression.

His parents and relatives are both monks. Since he was a child, he has been taken everywhere by his parents and relatives, and he has realized the power of monks.

As early as when he was sensible, he longed to have spiritual roots like his parents, become a monk who could fly to heaven and escape from the earth, and travel around this vast world.

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun took a deep breath, as if he was more nervous than Little Lingxia about whether Little Lingxia could possess spiritual roots.

He waved his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a spirit-testing stone, poured spiritual power into it, and placed it in Xiao Lingxia's hand.

"Xia'er, hold on to this spiritual stone."

When Xiao Lingxia heard the words, he immediately followed the instructions and held the spirit-testing stone.

At the next moment, the spirit-testing stone burst out with a dazzling spiritual light.

"It has spiritual roots!"

"Hahaha!!"

"My son has spiritual roots."

Ling Pengyun laughed when he saw that the spiritual stone was triggered.

Yan Siyi, who was watching from the side, had a trace of mist in her eyes.

In the eight years since she gave birth to Ling Xia, as the mother of little Ling Xia, she has been worried about whether little Ling Xia has spiritual roots.

If Ling Xia had not possessed spiritual roots, he would have been just an ordinary person in this life, turning into a piece of loess after a hundred years.

At that time, she will also send the black-haired people to the white-haired people.

The other relatives also showed joy on their faces.

Little Lingxia, who knew a lot about the world of immortality, also looked happy after observing the spiritual light emitting from the spirit-detecting stone.

Everyone was happy for a while and then calmed down.

Ling Pengyun also summoned the huge Feng Ying Peng in the mountain, and took everyone back to the Ling Clan Mountain, where he borrowed the second-level low-level spirit detection array in the ancestral temple.

The spiritual stone is of low grade and can only detect whether one has spiritual roots, but not the attributes of the spiritual roots.

Within the spirit detection array.

As the formation opened, countless spirit detection formation patterns poured into Ling Xia's body.

After a while, three of the five jade pillars at the core of the spirit detection array lit up with red, blue, and cyan auras respectively.

Moreover, among the three colors of aura, the red and blue auras are both nine inches high, while the cyan one is only one inch.

"The three spiritual roots of fire, water and wood."

"But the fire and water spirit roots have both reached nine inches... Now I'm in trouble."

When Ling Pengyun saw this scene, his brows suddenly furrowed, and the joy in his heart immediately disappeared.

Yan Siyi and other relatives watching on the side also had the same expression.

Fire and water are inherently in conflict with each other. If one of Ling Xia's fire and water spiritual roots has an absolute advantage and can use its advantage to suppress the other spiritual root, there will be no conflict.

But now, Ling Xia's fire and water spiritual roots have the same talent.

Regardless of whether he practices fire or water spiritual roots in the future, the other spiritual roots will be repelled, hindering his progress, and even directly exploding his body.

Of course, this problem could be solved if there was a technique that could be used to practice water and fire, or if one could transfer Ling Xia's remaining wood spirit root technique.

However, the two spiritual roots of fire and water are naturally in conflict with each other, and the fire attribute is not as suppressive as the fire and wood spiritual roots. This also makes the water and fire practitioners' skills extremely exquisite, but the Ling family of the Foundation Establishment family does not have them at all.

It has not been spread to the outside world.

And Ling Xia's remaining talent for wood spirit root skills was really poor. If he practiced wood attribute skills, he might not have any hope of building a foundation in this life.

Even if there are enough spiritual objects to help, whether one can break through to the later stage of Qi training is one thing.

Under such circumstances, Ling Xia's path became a dead end.

"Grandpa, does the Bailing Sect where you were originally have the skills of water and fire practitioners?" Ling Pengyun frowned and asked Yan Cang, who used to be a senior member of the Bailing Sect.

"Our sect regards hundreds of arts as the way, and mostly gathers the inheritance of hundreds of arts. The skills of water and fire practitioners are rare in the world. Although our sect has several books of this kind of skills, the one with the highest level can only practice Qi training. The state of perfection.”

"A hundred years ago, I had a good friend who was in the same situation as Xiao Xia. Due to the limitations of his skills, he broke through to the realm of foundation building, but because he had no follow-up skills, he was stuck at the first level of foundation building all his life and was difficult to improve. ”

"Perhaps, sects such as Xuanyang Sect, which mainly uses fire-based skills, will have such high-level water and fire skills, but we are not from the realm of Xuanyang Sect. It is said that the sect and Xuanyang Sect It’s not the same. I’m afraid there’s no hope of finding such high-level skills in this sect.”

"Why!"

Yan Cang suppressed his voice and sighed helplessly.

This sigh seemed to consume most of his mental energy. His straight back became stooped, and his breath gradually dropped.

In just a moment, he transformed into a decrepit old man, and his cultivation began to fade away.

Ling Pengyun, who was already in a bad mood due to Ling Xia's spiritual root problem, felt even more depressed when he saw Yan Cang's physical condition.

Yan Cang's life span was exhausted five years ago, but due to the joy of Ling Xia's birth, Yan Cang was able to extend it for another five years.

In the following days, if Yan Cang does not have the help of spiritual objects to increase his longevity, he will have to rely on his foundation-building cultivation to survive in the world.

After the cultivation level is restored, it will also be the time of death.

"According to Grandpa's cultivation, I'm afraid he only has five years left to live." Ling Pengyun sighed lightly.

Yan Siyi on the side also noticed Yan Cang's change, and quickly stepped forward, holding Yan Cang's arm tightly, her eyes turned red, as if tears were flowing out of them the next moment.

Ling Xiaoshun, who played chess with Yan Cang every day and established a deep friendship with him, also looked at Yan Cang with a worried look.

"Siyi, I'm fine, don't do this." Yan Cang, who was dying, comforted Yan Siyi, looked at Ling Pengyun, and said.

"Peng Yun, come with me back to the Bailing Sect station. For my sake, it should be no problem to ask the sect for the water and fire method."

"As for Xiaoxia's foundation-building skills, you and Siyi need to worry more."

Ling Pengyun nodded wordlessly.

Then, he glanced at little Lingxia, who had a decadent look on his face after he came out of the spirit detection array and learned about his situation, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said comfortingly.

"Xia'er, my father will definitely find high-level water and fire skills for you. Don't do this. No matter what situation we encounter, we monks must have a heart for the Tao in order to move forward. The further away.”

"Today's dilemma may be solved tomorrow."

When Ling Xia heard the promise made by her omnipotent father Ling Pengyun, most of the decadence on his face disappeared, and his eyes looked at Ling Pengyun expectantly.

"Dad, is it true?"

"Of course it's true." Ling Pengyun stepped forward, touched little Lingxia's head and assured.

When Xiao Lingxia heard this, her face suddenly lit up with joy, as if she had regained her heart towards the Tao.

Yan Siyi and others on the side all thought that Ling Pengyun was deceiving little Lingxia, but in order not to hurt little Lingxia's Taoist aspirations, they did not tell them.

But only Ling Pengyun himself knows that if the trip to the boundless sea can be completed in a year's time, high-level water and fire fellow practitioners may be able to find it.

After all, the predecessor of the Canglan Bihai Sect was the Yuanying Sect that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years and contained countless collections.

It would be really strange if these large sects did not have the skills of water and fire practitioners.

"I'll send you off to Luoxia Mountain first."

After Ling Pengyun said this, he took the smiling Ling Xia and walked out of the ancestral temple first, and went up to the back of Fengying Peng outside.

The others followed closely and climbed onto Feng Yingpeng's back.

Half a month later, Ling Pengyun and Yan Cang went to Bailing Gate together.

Through the operation of some of Yan Cang's former high-level friends from the Bailing Sect, the water and fire skills that could have been practiced to perfection were also delivered to Ling Pengyun.

This book on water and fire skills is called "Liang Yi Zhen Xuan Jue".

Although this technique is only a fragment, it is indeed very subtle.

Relying on this technique, you can rely on this technique to cultivate a strong "true mysterious spiritual power".

This true mysterious spiritual power is of great use when fighting enemies, and can enhance the power of any attack method by 30%.

"The water and fire skills are indeed exquisite, but it's a pity that this skill is only a fragment, and its origin from the Bailing Sect is unknown."

Ling Pengyun sighed helplessly.

…

One year passed quickly.

At the beginning of summer.

Luoxia Mountain, inside a quiet room in Pengyi Cave.

Ling Pengyun was continuously throwing one level one water ore into the flame refining furnace in front of him that was burned by the foundation-building spiritual fire.

After a while, a huge burst of water spiritual energy suddenly burst out from the weapon refining furnace.

A blue orb directly opened the furnace lid and rose into the sky, flashing a bright blue orb.

"Finally, in time for the ten-year agreement with Grandpa Yunhong, the body of this orb was smelted to a weight of one hundred thousand kilograms."

"In this way, when I fight, using the perfect foundation-building cultivation to activate the blue sea heavy elemental spirit pattern of this orb, I can also make this orb have a huge power of 200,000 kilograms."

"At that time, I am afraid that even the defensive light curtain held up by a general second-level high-grade defensive magic weapon will be smashed directly by my orb with all its strength."

Ling Pengyun looked at the floating blue orb, with a hint of joy on his face, and muttered to himself.

He waved his hand to collect the orb into his dantian, and then looked at a seven-foot-long black-armored turtle in a huge pool in the corner of the quiet room.

"This turtle has now reached the seventh level of foundation construction. With the help of this turtle, plus my sandy copper bell that I recast to the upper level, and my second-level upper level ice shield, we can defend it. It’s also guaranteed.”

"It's time to go to the appointment."

As early as a year ago, Ling Pengyun had raised his cultivation level to the level of foundation building perfection.

Ling Pengyun's eyes narrowed and he secretly made up his mind.

He walked to the pool, waved his hand, and put the sleeping black-armored turtle into the beast-controlling bag.

He then left the cave directly and found Yan Siyi, Ling Xiaoshun, Yang Qiuyun, and Yan Cang who were instructing little Lingxia to use the "Fireball Technique".

Ling Xiaoshun, Yang Qiuyun, and Yan Cang's daily pleasure was teaching little Lingxia how to practice.

"Madam, I am going on a long trip. It may take as short as five years, or as long as ten years or so. I will leave my family affairs to your care."

"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, these days when I'm gone, you... take care of yourself."

After saying this, Ling Pengyun looked at Yan Cang, whose cultivation had dropped to the late stage of Qi training.

I'm afraid that by the time he comes back, Yan Cang will have exhausted his life span and die.

"Grandpa, please forgive my grandson for being unfilial, but this time it concerns my path, and I have to leave."

When everyone heard this, they probably also heard that Ling Pengyun, who had reached the perfection of foundation building, left suddenly because he planned to go to the outside world to find an opportunity to break through the golden elixir realm.

The realm of golden elixir is a realm respected by all monks. There is no foundation-building monk who does not want to step into this realm of long life, add another three hundred years to his life, and live happily in the world.

Yan Cang, who is also a monk, can naturally understand.

Especially now that his life span is about to run out, he can better understand Ling Pengyun's move to leave home in search of a new realm.

If his cultivation talent were better, he might have some chance of trying to break through to the golden elixir realm.

It's just a pity...

"Peng Yun, what you did is actually what you should do. There is no need to say the word unfilial."

"Golden elixir opportunities are rare in the world, and there must be many dangers involved. When you go, your life must be the most important thing. Don't forget that there are all of us waiting for you."

Yan Cang patted Ling Pengyun's shoulder and said in a deep voice.

Although Ling Pengyun's parents, Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun, were reluctant to give up, they were very supportive of Ling Pengyun's move.

"Peng Yun, your mother and I support your search for the right path."

"Not bad." Yang Qiuyun responded.

"Husband, won't you... take me there?" Yan Siyi's eyes were filled with mist, and she clutched the Taoist robe tightly with both hands, as if she was trying her best to suppress the tears in her eyes.

"Madam, this trip... is too dangerous. You should stay at home well. When I come back, I will not leave you alone for a long time." Ling Pengyun stepped forward, regardless of the people around him, and turned to Yan Si Yi pulled into his arms.

When Yan Siyi heard this, two tears fell on Ling Pengyun's shoulders.

Perhaps, there is no time to return...

But as Ling Pengyun's Taoist companion, she couldn't stop Ling Pengyun's desire to follow the Tao.

She had no choice but to suppress her worries about Ling Pengyun's trip.

"Okay, husband, I'll wait for you." Yan Siyi choked with sobs.

The little Ling Chengxia, who was nine years old and had a good sense of words and emotions, also roughly guessed that his father Ling Pengyun's trip was dangerous.

He felt sour in his heart, waved his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, took out half a kilogram of fruit and flower honey that he had saved over the years, and handed it to Ling Pengyun.

"Dad, give it all to...you to eat."

Ling Pengyun let go of Yan Siyi, took the bottle of fruit flower honey, touched little Ling Chengxia's head, and forced a smile.

"When dad comes back, he will definitely find you a copy of the advanced water and fire exercises."

"While dad is gone, don't be lazy."

Although Ling Chengxia longed for the skills of high-level water and fire practitioners, he couldn't laugh for some reason at this moment.

After a long time, he said in a low tone. "I know, Dad."

"alright!"

"I'm leaving first, everyone...take care!"

Ling Pengyun raised his hands to everyone and said something, then called Feng Ying Peng, and flew away from Luoxia Mountain on this Peng.

Yan Siyi, who was still in the mountains, seemed to have grown up at this moment. Although there was mist in her eyes, her clear eyes became more determined.

The rest of the people looked at Ling Pengyun's retreating figure with extremely gloomy expressions.
