Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

In addition, although joining the Frost Immortal Sect might draw the Ice Profound lineage into the Frost Immortal Sect's power struggles.

They might even face hostility from the other early-stage Void Refinement Celestial Venerables of the Frost Immortal Sect.

However, Ling Pengyun now possesses two powerful killing moves: a top-grade fifth-tier innate divine power treasure and the ultimate Five Elements Thunder Dragon Divine Power. He is extremely confident and has a chance to escape even if he were to face a Heavenly Venerable in the early stage of the Void Refinement realm head-on.

Furthermore, the benefits of joining the Ice Profound lineage are truly immense.

It's even possible that this lineage could be used to quickly expand the family's foundation.

Moreover, this matter is guaranteed by the Yuanhun Contract, so the constraints on him are not significant.

After a brief consideration, Ling Pengyun agreed to the matter.

'Pengyun's choice was exactly as I expected.'

'That's fine too. If this matter can proceed smoothly, given Pengyun's aptitude, he might actually be able to enter the Void Refinement Realm with the help of the Bingxuan lineage.'

"Secondly, Fellow Daoist Bingqiu did agree that if Pengyun could join the Bingxuan lineage, he would support my Chaoyue Immortal Sect. Indirectly, this matter will also benefit the future development of our sect."

Upon hearing this, the old Daoist Chaoyue's brows furrowed slightly with delight, showing some anticipation for the future.

"My friend is truly wise."

"With the addition of you, young friend, my Ice Profound lineage can become even stronger."

"By the way, young friend, when do you plan to travel with me to my Frost Immortal Sect to meet the Ice Profound Celestial Venerable, the head of my Ice Profound lineage?"

Upon hearing this, the old Daoist Bingqiu's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"Let's wait a few more decades. After all, I've only just reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and need time to stabilize my realm."

Ling Pengyun said.

In recent years, he has condensed a considerable amount of the essence of the Nascent Soul stage.

However, he had just reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, which makes this matter somewhat illogical.

Furthermore, as a Void Refining expert, Ice Profound Celestial Venerable possesses extraordinary abilities.

If we meet with him and he discovers this, it could easily cause trouble.

Therefore, Ling Pengyun decided to delay the process a little longer.

"Stable Realm?"

"This matter certainly needs to be taken seriously."

"Since that's the case, the matter is settled. When you emerge from seclusion decades from now, please remember to send me a message."

Upon hearing this, the old Daoist Bingqiu assumed that Ling Pengyun was being cautious and wanted to prepare some measures to prevent future troubles, so he didn't think much of it and agreed to the matter.

Moreover, decades is but a fleeting moment for a Nascent Soul cultivator like him; he can wait.

He then chatted with Ling Pengyun for a few more minutes before saying goodbye and leaving.

'This senior colleague is quite easy to talk to.'

As Ling Pengyun watched his departing figure, his goodwill towards him grew even stronger.

Afterwards, he told the old Daoist Chaoyue about his upcoming period of seclusion.

"Alright, Pengyun, you can go into seclusion without worry. I'll take care of the sect."

"By the way, Pengyun, if you join the Bingxuan lineage in the future, it will truly allow our sect to gain the support of the Bingxuan lineage, and you will have made a great contribution."

"And the sect will certainly not forget this matter. No matter how far the sect develops in the future, it will always fully support your cultivation. The position of sect leader will still be yours."

"Old Daoist Chaoyue said solemnly to Ling Pengyun."

"Master... please rest assured, I will never forget the sect, no matter what."

Ling Pengyun was slightly moved upon hearing this.

In addition, he had cultivated Taoism in the Chaoyue Immortal Sect for many years, so he had some feelings for the sect.

Furthermore, his opportunity to join the Ice Profound lineage is somewhat related to his status as the master of the Tide Moon Immortal Sect.

He had already secretly noted down the merit of the Chaoyue Immortal Sect.

"If all the other elders in our sect had your character, that would be wonderful."

Upon hearing this, the old Daoist Chaoyue's face lit up with joy, and he murmured with a smile.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Ling Pengyun immediately returned to his cave to meditate.

……

the other side.

The Realm of Refining Emptiness, the Realm of Clear Clouds.

Deep within the Hunyuan Immortal City, the core territory of the Hunyuan lineage of the Refining Void faction, lies a fifth-grade superior cave dwelling rich in spiritual energy. "Ancestor Siyi, I have just learned through my connections cultivated over many years that the Hunyuan lineage has a fifth-grade superior spiritual land in the outside world whose lease is about to expire."

"Moreover, the person who rented that sacred land recently passed away after his lifespan had run out."

"Indirectly, only some descendants and disciples of the people who rented the spiritual land remained in that fifth-grade high-quality spiritual land."

"And among their descendants and disciples, there are no outstanding individuals. The highest cultivation level among them is only at the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Moreover, their methods are mostly ordinary, and they are probably not capable of managing that fifth-grade high-quality spiritual land and using it to pay the expensive rent to the Hunyuan lineage to continue renting that fifth-grade high-quality spiritual land."

"Therefore, I believe this is a good opportunity to rent a high-level spiritual land. I wonder if you, Ancestor Siyi, are interested in that land?"

Ling Wantong, the son of the clan's Grand Elder Ling Chengyuan, hurriedly returned to his cave dwelling from the outside world and went directly to Yan Siyi, who had been in seclusion there recently.

Furthermore, after many years, Ling Wantong's cultivation level has not only reached the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Moreover, he couldn't help but become more composed.

He was even extremely skilled in business management because he had received the true teachings of the family's eldest elder, Ling Chengyuan.

He then used some special methods to get acquainted with some people from the Hunyuan lineage and expanded his information channels.

He even used those special channels to buy some well-located shops in Hunyuan Immortal City to do business, such as acquiring spiritual objects from the outside world and having some reliable family artisans who had also infiltrated Qingxia Realm help refine them into spiritual objects, and then sell them.

Secondly, he also rented a large number of spiritual veins and spiritual plants under the Hunyuan lineage.

Over the years, those places have gradually developed and are now able to generate considerable profits.

Even that profit was barely enough to sustain his and Yan Siyi's clansmen who had infiltrated the Qingxia Realm, preventing them from having to rely solely on their clan's support when they first arrived.

This move also relieved some of the pressure on the family.

Unfortunately, most of the spiritual veins he rented were extremely ordinary, with no high-level ones.

After all, high-level spiritual veins are treasures. Even though the Hunyuan lineage is a newly established independent cultivator lineage with insufficient manpower, it is not very willing to rent out many high-level spiritual veins to outside cultivators.

In addition, there are many high-level rogue cultivators in the Qingxia Realm, and they are also quite interested in those high-level spiritual veins.

As a result, even though Ling Wantong has used many methods over the years, he has not yet been able to rent a high-level spiritual vein as a main base, which has also limited the development of his family in this area.

Furthermore, he and Yan Siyi, along with other high-level cultivators from their families within the Qingxia Realm, were forced to remain in Hunyuan Immortal City and rent high-level cave dwellings for cultivation due to their advanced cultivation levels.

However, this situation is not necessarily a good thing, and the rent for high-level cave dwellings in the Immortal City is quite high.

It's far less cost-effective than renting a high-level spiritual vein under the jurisdiction of Hunyuan Immortal City.

This has caused Ling Wantong a great deal of trouble recently.

Fortunately, he learned some special information about high-level spiritual veins today.

In addition, although Ling Wantong is the family's chief steward in the Qingxia Realm.

However, the one truly in charge here is Yan Siyi, a veteran of the family and a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Furthermore, renting a fifth-grade high-quality spiritual vein requires a large amount of resources, and it would be best to have a high-level cultivator like Yan Siyi overseeing it.

Otherwise, even if they managed to rent such a high-level spiritual vein, it would be very difficult to protect it.

Therefore, after having this idea, Ling Wantong approached Yan Siyi.

At this moment, after learning everything, Yan Siyi's pretty face immediately showed a smile.

"Our clan has waited for hundreds of years, and finally we have the opportunity to rent high-level spiritual veins. How can our clan miss this opportunity?"

"By the way, Wantong, this matter is quite important, so I'll go with you personally."

Upon hearing this, Yan Siyi immediately replied.

"With Ancestor Siyi here, this matter is sure to succeed."

Ling Wantong felt much more confident and immediately took Yan Siyi to the Hunyuan City Lord's Mansion deep in Hunyuan Immortal City, where he sought out Hunjin Daojun, one of the stewards in charge of renting out spiritual lands to the Hunyuan lineage.

That Mixed Gold Dao Lord was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator dressed in extremely rich attire.

Although his cultivation level was not particularly remarkable within the Hunyuan City Lord's Mansion, he was wearing a rare fifth-grade top-quality Daoist robe.

Moreover, he had a top-grade fifth-level hairpin on his head, which clearly showed that he was extremely wealthy.

Who knows what other treasures they might have?

Such wealth is beyond what ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators can match.

It can even be compared to some Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak of their cultivation.

Furthermore, it is rumored that he has an extraordinary background, being a direct disciple of the Hunyuan Lianxu Heavenly Venerable of the Hunyuan lineage.

Otherwise, he would have had difficulty obtaining the job of managing and renting out spiritual lands from the Hunyuan lineage.

This job can be quite lucrative. (End of Chapter)
