Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

“Master… While high-level breakthrough spiritual items are hard to find in the Cold Spirit Minor Realm, the Clear Cloud Great Realm does have some.”

"Moreover, although the sect's financial resources are currently somewhat insufficient, this is only temporary."

"I have been at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for several decades. During this time, I have consolidated my cultivation. With the help of the abundant resources provided by the sect, I have even improved my cultivation considerably and gained some confidence in protecting myself."

"I then plan to immediately seek out Elder Bingqiu, who was dispatched by the Frost Immortal Sect to guard the Cold Spirit Minor Realm, and then go to the Frost Immortal Sect's Ice Profound lineage in the Clear Cloud Realm to cultivate."

"If I perform well at that time, and even reach the Refinement Realm as Senior Bingqiu expects, I'm afraid he will definitely do his best to help the sect expand in the Cold Spirit Small World as agreed."

"In this way, it is not impossible for the sect to find some high-level spiritual items to help you reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

Ling Pengyun felt a mix of emotions, but then said firmly.

"Well, we'll see when the time comes."

"However, Pengyun, it is a good thing that you plan to go to the Bingxuan lineage immediately. After all, according to your previous agreement with Fellow Daoist Bingqiu, as long as you join them, you will receive their support and your cultivation environment will be much better."

"But this matter could easily get caught up in the disputes among the other main branches of the Frost Immortal Sect, so we must take precautions."

"These talismans are the accumulation of the sect over the past few years and the acquisitions made during the sect's rapid development over the last few decades. Given the sect's current situation, they are useless even if we keep them; they can only be left to gather dust in the storeroom."

"Instead of that, it would be better to entrust the entire protection to you. That way, you will be safer during your journey to the Ice Profound lineage."

"Furthermore, Pengyun, your sect salary will remain the same. Every so often, I will have someone deliver it to you in the Qingxia Realm."

After learning of Ling Pengyun's thoughts, Daoist Chaoyue still didn't care too much about his own breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage; he was only concerned about Ling Pengyun's safety.

He then immediately took out all the talismans he had prepared and handed them all to Ling Pengyun.

The number of those talismans was large, and since they were treasures of the Chaoyue Immortal Sect, their quality was quite good.

There are even nearly a thousand of those extremely rare fifth-tier talismans here...

In addition, these talismans are quite powerful and have a low activation cost.

If they can be unleashed simultaneously, they would likely unleash an extremely powerful attack, potentially even severely injuring an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of their cultivation.

"The talisman foundation of such an old-established Nascent Soul power is truly impressive."

"Furthermore, Master, I will not stand on ceremony with you about this matter. I will accept it. But rest assured, I will definitely remember this matter."

"If future disciples achieve something while cultivating in the Ice Profound lineage, they will surely reward the sect with several times, or even ten times, more powerful talismans."

Ling Pengyun was quite interested in the talismans, so he accepted them all without hesitation and thanked them in return.

"Pengyun, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Moreover, your contribution to the sect is already quite good. After all, the sect is developing so well now, thanks to the deterrent effect you have on the outside world after you reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

"Therefore, if you are truly grateful to the sect, then in the future, let the sect benefit from your prestige more often."

"Hahaha."

"Old Daoist Chaoyue said with a smile."

"What prestige do I have? Moreover, as the sect leader, as long as the sect doesn't cause trouble in the future, I am willing to lead the sect to continue to develop."

Ling Pengyun assured him.

Afterwards, he chatted with Daoist Chaoyue for a while and had a farewell banquet before heading together to Hanling Market, the core of the Hanling Minor Realm.

That market was built by the Frost Immortal Sect after they descended upon the Cold Spirit Minor Realm, relying on a specially cultivated fifth-grade Cold Spirit Mountain spiritual land.

Its internal spiritual energy is extremely rich.

Moreover, the Frost Immortal Sect is relatively laid-back, and they are also keen to promote the development of the Cold Spirit Minor Realm.

The Frost Immortal Sect often used the shops in that market to sell rare spiritual items.

They even built many high-level cave dwellings in that market and rented them out.

Indirectly, that place attracted countless cultivators and became extremely prosperous.

It could even be considered the trade center of the entire Cold Spirit Minor World.

In addition, that place is of utmost importance, and it is also rich in spiritual energy.

Therefore, cultivators like Old Daoist Bingqiu, who were stationed in the Frost Immortal Sect and guarded the Cold Spirit Small World, spent most of their time in the core area of ​​Cold Spirit Small Mountain.

That place is separated from the market by a protective array, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter.

Moreover, it is said that the core of the extremely special high-level protective array of the Cold Spirit Minor Realm is also located there.

The defenses there were extremely strong; in fact, it could be considered the safest place in the entire Cold Spirit Minor World.

And soon.

Ling Pengyun and his companion then arrived at Hanling Market.

It resembles a giant city, surrounded by towering walls that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Moreover, it was firmly covered by a thick array, making it extremely safe.

Every moment, countless cultivators come and go from the city gates of the market.

Among them were even Nascent Soul cultivators and Deity Transformation cultivators, figures rarely seen in the outside world.

'Decades have passed since I last visited this place, yet it remains incredibly prosperous.'

'Moreover, in recent years, besides using this place to benefit the entire Cold Spirit Minor World, the Frost Immortal Sect has likely also profited considerably from this market.'

"Furthermore, if one day our clan could unify the Heavenly River Realm, which is comparable to the Frost Immortal Sect, and establish such a massive market, the tax revenue alone would likely make our clan a fortune."

Looking at the Cold Spirit Market before him, Ling Pengyun couldn't help but admire it and set his sights on this place.

In addition, if a cultivator wants to open a shop in the market to sell spiritual items, or if a cultivator wants to rent a cave dwelling, the market will collect some taxes.

And this is also the biggest source of profit for the market.

This is also what the Frost Immortal Sect values ​​most.

Secondly, acquiring resources from the Cold Spirit Minor Realm in such a gentle way is a more secure approach, as it will not disrupt the balance of the Cold Spirit Minor Realm and may even gradually promote its further development.

Indirectly, the Frost Immortal Sect also has the opportunity to select some talented individuals to serve them.

Moreover, it's extremely easy, requiring very few people to manage the Cold Spirit Minor Realm.

At the same time, after entering the market, Ling Pengyun and Daoist Chaoyue headed straight for the Cold Spirit Mountain deep within it.

The Cold Spirit Mountain soars into the clouds, and it is said that the fifth-grade top-quality spiritual vein within it is an extremely special ice-attribute spiritual vein.

Moreover, it was also protected by a market array within an array.

They would then find it difficult to enter directly.

Fortunately, they managed to activate the innermost formation.

The old Daoist Bingqiu, who was permanently stationed there, quickly stepped out.

In addition, Ling Pengyun had already planned to completely clear his name, and since he needed to go to the Bingxuan lineage, he had also already found some perfect evidence to prove his powerful cultivation.

He did not conceal his cultivation level too much at the moment.

Therefore, the old Daoist Bingqiu subtly probed his cultivation progress.

This matter also shocked the old Daoist Bingqiu.

“Young friend Pengyun, old Daoist Chaoyue, you are rare guests indeed.”

"Huh? I really didn't expect that in just a few decades, your cultivation has improved so much. I'm afraid you're not far from the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

"Young friend, your cultivation speed is truly enviable." "By the way, are you here to buy spiritual items at the market, or to fulfill the promise we made to visit my Ice Profound lineage?"

Old Daoist Bingqiu stared at Ling Pengyun with astonishment and his eyes gleaming, as if he were looking at a mountain of gold.

He and Ling Pengyun were both at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, so he knew how difficult it was to improve one's cultivation after entering this realm.

After Ling Pengyun entered this realm, his cultivation speed remained extremely good, which undoubtedly proved that his potential was indeed quite good.

This also indicates that he did not misjudge the person.

Ling Pengyun is indeed a qualified candidate for the Void Refinement stage.

He also valued Ling Pengyun even more.

He even wished that Ling Pengyun could go with him to cultivate in the Ice Profound lineage.

In addition, he has recently been paying more attention to the Chaoyue Immortal Sect where Ling Pengyun is located, and he also knows that the Chaoyue Immortal Sect has been developing well recently and has acquired a lot of good things.

Therefore, he guessed that Ling Pengyun's rapid progress in cultivation was probably related to this matter.

But what resources can the Chaoyue Immortal Sect provide?
How can it compare to the Ice Profound lineage, which has mastered the Void Refinement stage?
Therefore, in his eyes, Ling Pengyun staying in the Chaoyue Immortal Sect was a complete waste of talent.

"Senior is too kind. My cultivation speed is mainly due to the full support of my sect."

"..."

After exchanging a few polite words, Ling Pengyun explained his plan to visit the Bingxuan lineage.

"Excellent, excellent! I have been eagerly awaiting your arrival at my Ice Profound lineage."

Upon hearing this, the old Daoist Bingqiu was overjoyed.

He then immediately set off, leading Ling Pengyun and Daoist Chaoyue into the interdimensional teleportation hall at the bottom of Hanling Mountain.

Inside this interdimensional teleportation hall is a top-grade fifth-level interdimensional teleportation array with an extremely high level of technology and a powerful spatial force.

'It seems that the materials used to construct this array are of the same origin as my spatial treasure, the Netherworld Blade.'

'If it could be dismantled and melted down into some special spatial spiritual materials, it would likely have a good chance of helping my special fifth-grade high-quality spatial spiritual treasure, the Netherworld Blade, advance to the fifth-grade high-quality level.'

'Furthermore, the fact that the Frost Immortal Sect is willing to set up such an array in this subordinate realm undoubtedly proves its extraordinary foundation. Perhaps by joining them, I can more easily collect high-grade spatial materials, and even other high-grade weapon-refining materials.'

As soon as Ling Pengyun entered the teleportation hall, he couldn't help but feel a little tempted by the formation.

After all, he had long intended to reforge the Netherworld Blade to a higher level.

Unfortunately, high-level spatial materials are quite rare, and he has never been able to find such materials.

This matter has been delayed indefinitely.

Secondly, he also intended to collect some special Five Elements refining materials to solidify the foundation of that special fifth-grade top-quality innate divine power treasure and help it become even stronger.

In addition, although such a grand array looks the same as an ordinary teleportation array, it is used for teleportation, only the teleportation distance is longer.

However, it actually has another advantage, which is that it was set up by the Frost Immortal Sect after all.

Therefore, when it transmits living beings, it will not conflict with the special domain array of the Cold Spirit Minor Realm.

It can then easily bypass the boundary array and teleport living beings to the Qingxia Realm.

Ordinary teleportation arrays cannot do this, and even top-grade fifth-tier teleportation arrays would find it difficult to accomplish.

Moreover, if one rashly triggers that domain formation, one might be attacked by it.

For this reason, the interdimensional teleportation array here is the only way for the entire Cold Spirit Minor World to reach the outside world.

"Young friend Pengyun, follow me into battle."

After summoning Ling Pengyun into the formation, the old Daoist Bingqiu took out a special token and activated the formation with a simple hand gesture.

'The battle begins!'

As the entire interdimensional teleportation hall trembled slightly, countless special array patterns emerged from all parts of it, eventually forming a massive shield that enveloped Ling Pengyun and Daoist Chaoyue.

And with them, it tore through the void, instantly disappearing into the endless void.

I only hope that Pengyun's trip will go smoothly.

Seeing this, the old Daoist Chaoyue, who was left alone in the interdimensional teleportation hall, was somewhat worried, but at the same time, he was also somewhat expectant.

After a long silence, he finally left and returned to his sect.

……

Soon after.

Qingxia Realm.

The Frost Immortal Sect's headquarters, somewhere in the Frost Forest.

Inside the Frost Cross-Dimensional Teleportation Hall.

A massive spatial force emerged.

Ling Pengyun and the old Daoist Bingqiu instantly traversed countless miles and arrived here from the Cold Spirit Minor Realm.

"Young friend, we have arrived at the Realm of Clear Clouds."

"As for this place, it is a teleportation hall set up by my Frost Immortal Sect within its own territory."

"Old Daoist Bingqiu introduced himself to Ling Pengyun."

'The aura of the laws of heaven and earth in this void is indeed as strong as described by the clansmen who infiltrated the Qingxia Realm beforehand…'

'Furthermore, the power of that high-level teleportation array in the Frost Spirit Minor Realm is truly extraordinary; I didn't expect to arrive here from the Frost Spirit Minor Realm in such an instant.'

'This speed is truly incredible; even my Netherworld Blade, at the fifth-tier top-grade level, probably can't match it.'

Ling Pengyun gazed at the unfamiliar scene before him and sensed the laws of heaven and earth in the Qingxia Realm, secretly marveling.

In addition, teleportation arrays are more sophisticated than ordinary magical artifacts, and their power is stronger than most spatial magical treasures.

However, it also has a drawback: it is difficult to change.

Moreover, its function is singular; it can only teleport.

Unlike the Netherworld Blade, which is all-encompassing in power, capable of breaking through spatial teleportation and using space to fight enemies, it is not as versatile.

"Senior Brother Bingqiu?"

"How did you get back from the Cold Spirit Realm?"

"By the way, who is this fellow cultivator who has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage...?"

At this moment, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Frost Immortal Sect, who was stationed at the teleportation hall, came over with some other ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators who were also stationed at the hall. He greeted the old Daoist Bingqiu politely and looked at Ling Pengyun with curiosity.

As far as they knew, Daoist Bingqiu had been stationed in the Cold Spirit Realm for many years, though he often used the teleportation array there to return to his sect.

However, he rarely returned alone with monks.

Moreover, Ling Pengyun's cultivation level is also high.

If it causes trouble, it could pose a significant threat.

Therefore, they had no choice but to take it seriously.

Otherwise, if they cause trouble, the sect will likely blame them. (End of Chapter)
