Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

Furthermore, due to his foundation in the Five Elements, even if he hasn't switched to cultivating the Void Technique and currently only knows the Nascent Soul level techniques, his speed in cultivating Void Spiritual Power using this method will likely not be slow.

There won't be any bottlenecks in the short term.

As long as he accumulates enough Refining Spiritual Power, he can continuously improve his cultivation level.

'Even if I switch to a suitable Void Refinement cultivation technique, I might have a chance to reach the second level of Void Refinement, or even the mid-stage of Void Refinement within a hundred years, in just a dozen or so years…'

Ling Pengyun was filled with anticipation, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

At that very moment, he also subtly discovered that the Primordial Scripture in his sea of ​​consciousness was being touched by the Five Elements Foundation he had just condensed.

Furthermore, it gradually began to flicker with eerie, strange light.

Moreover, one can vaguely see that some special sealing techniques are gradually emerging on its surface and breaking apart.

Indirectly, its inherent abilities are thus enhanced.

It should even be said that its power is closer to being unleashed than when it was at its peak.

However, the burden it brought was also greater. If Ling Pengyun's sea of ​​consciousness hadn't been so resilient, it probably would have burst it long ago.

【The Primordial Classic of the Five Elements】

One of its effects is that it can forcibly refine the spiritual energy of the five elements, condense the essence of the five elements and yin and yang, greatly improve the aptitude of living beings, and may even help living beings build a foundation for refining the void.

Upon careful calculation, approximately 999 sixth-tier spirit crystals can condense a strand of Five Elements Yin-Yang Essence.

Secondly, its ability to assist cultivators in deducing and comprehending the inheritance has directly increased dramatically, and it even has the potential to assist cultivators in deducing and comprehending the Void Refining inheritance.

However, this matter also requires a huge amount of spiritual energy to help it. In fact, the spiritual energy contained in a sixth-order spirit crystal is only enough to maintain its amplification for one day.

Did the *Taichu Jing* evolve into the *Five Elements Taichu Jing*?

'This is truly an unexpected delight, and its two transformative effects are truly extraordinary. With its assistance, my path to cultivation will undoubtedly become smoother. I might even have the opportunity to use its enhancement of comprehension to gradually perfect my cultivation techniques and other skills to the Void Refinement level, and transform them into my Void Refinement innate inheritance.'

"At the same time, I also have the opportunity to refine a strand of the Five Elements Primordial Essence, which will help strengthen my foundation."

"After all, although I have refined the Primordial Yin-Yang Qi, I have not refined the Five Elements Yin-Yang Essence. Therefore, I have no resistance to it, and it is still of great help to me."

'The only drawback is that the Five Elements Primordial Scripture is currently extremely expensive; in fact, it's practically a money-devouring beast.'

Ling Pengyun noticed the unusual movement in the Five Elements Primordial Scripture, and his face lit up with even greater joy, but at the same time, he also had a bit of a headache.

After all, to activate the two major effects of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture, one needs extremely rare sixth-order spirit crystals.

This is a rare item.

It is not only sufficient to serve as currency for Void Refinement cultivators, but also contains a vast amount of pure spiritual energy, enough to serve as cultivation resources for Void Refinement experts.

Upon closer examination, a single sixth-tier spirit crystal is worth at least a hundred fifth-tier spirit crystals.

This thing can only maintain the Five Elements Primordial Scripture's ability to assist cultivators in deduction and inheritance for one day.
Moreover, it takes 999 sixth-order spirit crystals to condense a single primordial essence of the five elements.
This price is undoubtedly enormous.

In fact, unless Ling Pengyun sells his personal natal spiritual treasures such as the Five Elements Magic Beads, he simply cannot gather enough spirit stones in a short period of time to condense a strand of the Five Elements Primordial Essence.

Or perhaps it was deduced and passed down with the help of the primordial essence of the Five Elements over a long period of time.

'It seems I need to work harder to earn resources, and ideally, cultivate both weapon crafting and spirit plant cultivation to the sixth rank, since these two arts are particularly effective at earning spirit stones.'

Ling Pengyun secretly planned out his future.

……

at the same time.

Beyond the frost-covered hill.

"Young friend Pengyun? You successfully passed the final tribulation lightning and entered the Void Refinement Realm? You even seem to have condensed an extraordinary Void Refinement Foundation?"

"This is truly a great thing, after all, this move undoubtedly demonstrates the formidable potential of young friend Pengyun."

"It is also worth mentioning that with his entry into the Void Refinement stage, my Ice Profound lineage can also gain another Void Refinement guest elder. In addition to me, my Ice Profound lineage will have a total of two Void Refinement elders, which is enough to make it the strongest lineage within the Frost Immortal Sect. Even the lineage of the former sect master is probably not comparable."

"Moreover, indirectly, my Ice Profound lineage can gradually share more of the sect's benefits, achieve greater development, and even quickly cultivate a sixth-order spiritual vein and other foundations belonging to my Ice Profound lineage..."

Upon seeing this, Bingxuan Tianjun's face, which was as cold as an iceberg, couldn't help but show a variety of colors.

In addition, he was raised by the Ice Profound lineage from childhood, so he has a strong sense of belonging to the Ice Profound lineage.

Furthermore, he knew that he and the Bingxuan lineage shared both glory and ruin.

Therefore, he was eager to develop the Ice Profound lineage as soon as possible, so that the Ice Profound lineage could better provide resources to help him cultivate.

"Fortunately, young friend Pengyun has entered the Void Refinement stage. Indirectly, there is hope that the sect's most treasured artifacts that our sect previously gave him will recoup their costs."

"Otherwise, if his breakthrough fails, our sect will suffer a huge loss."

"I just don't know... how far Pengyun, with his extraordinary potential, can go."

The Frost Sect Master was overjoyed, but at the same time, he was extremely curious about Ling Pengyun's future path.

He was not Ling Pengyun himself, so he could only guess that Ling Pengyun had formed a powerful foundation.

However, he was not particularly clear about Ling Pengyun's true qualifications.

"That person is truly a genius, it's just a pity... He's a guest elder of that damned Bingxuan lineage, damn it, this is worse than killing me."

"I'm afraid that with his help in the future, the Bingxuan lineage will not only have the opportunity to advance further, but may even have the chance to soar to new heights."

"On the other hand, my Ice Soul lineage... can only gradually weaken."

When the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord saw Ling Pengyun overcome the tribulation lightning with extraordinary skill, he couldn't help but cast countless glances of admiration and even respect upon him. However, at the same time, he also felt like vomiting blood.

"Peng Yun, the guest elder, has achieved the Void Refinement stage? His abilities are truly formidable; he is indeed a role model for us all."

"Moreover, this means our sect can have one more Void Refinement cultivator, which indirectly gives us sect disciples more confidence when we go out to do things."

"..."

The other disciples of the Frost Immortal Sect, including those at the Nascent Soul and other realms, were overjoyed and held Ling Pengyun in the highest esteem.

……

quite a while.

The summit of the frost-covered hill.

Inside a cave.

'Now that I've successfully broken through, it's time for me to emerge from seclusion and return this cave to the sect. Otherwise, I'd be truly shameless.'

Ling Pengyun, who was in meditation, slowly opened his eyes. He then stood up, left Frosty Hill, and arrived at the foot of the mountain to meet with Bingxuan Tianjun and others.

"Esteemed seniors and fellow practitioners, please accept my bow. After all, if it weren't for the various protective talismans and healing spirits that you seniors provided in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to overcome the final tribulation lightning and successfully break through to the next realm." "In addition, the frost-covered hill with its rich spiritual energy and the sect's formations were also of extraordinary help to me."

"..."

Ling Pengyun expressed his gratitude repeatedly and said he would definitely repay the favor in the future.

"Young friend, you are too kind. Besides, today is a joyous occasion for your breakthrough, so we should present you with a congratulatory gift."

"These thirty low-grade sixth-rank cultivation pills, Ice Profound Pills, are a gift from me and our Ice Profound lineage to you for breaking through your cultivation realm."

"I hope you won't find it offensive, young friend."

"By the way, young friend, you have now entered the Void Refinement realm, which is the same realm as mine. Moreover, you are a guest elder of my Ice Profound lineage. It is not appropriate for me to keep calling you young friend. How about we address each other as fellow disciples from now on?"

Bingxuan Tianjun offered his congratulations first, and then took out several medicine bottles filled with pills, handed them to Ling Pengyun, and said with a smile.

"To address each other as fellow disciples? That is indeed appropriate. By the way, young friend, these three low-grade sixth-rank Frost Spirit Fruits are a congratulatory gift from the sect."

"Furthermore, young friend, you are, after all, a member of my sect. Moreover, as far as I know, you are a cultivator from the Cold Spirit Minor Realm and have not yet touched upon any profound inheritances. On the other hand, the Ice Profound lineage you are currently in is a newly established lineage of Void Refinement, with a mediocre foundation. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to provide suitable inheritances to help you in your cultivation."

"Therefore, if you are willing to make a vow and sign a Yuanhun Contract to protect the sect in the future and become a guest elder of the sect, then I can take you into the sect's inheritance chamber to choose a suitable inheritance. There are quite a few inheritances in that chamber, at least a dozen or twenty kinds of Void Refinement inheritances. Surely there must be one that suits you."

To avoid missing out on a cultivator with extraordinary talent like Ling Pengyun, the Frost Sect Master immediately promised him great rewards.

“Young friend Pengyun, please don’t take your previous matter with the Ice Soul lineage to heart. This is a sixth-grade low-level divine soul treasure, the ‘Ice Soul Jade,’ left behind by our Ice Soul lineage ancestors. It was born from heaven and earth and not only has the effect of nourishing the divine soul, but can also protect the divine soul when necessary and withstand a divine soul attack at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.”

"And this is a gift from my Ice Soul lineage to you, young friend."

The Ice Soul Heavenly Lord put aside his various little temper tantrums and instead spoke amiably.

The other disciples of the Frost Immortal Sect also presented their congratulatory gifts to Ling Pengyun.

In an instant, countless spiritual objects appeared and stood before Ling Pengyun.

'This is great! I don't think I'll have to worry about cultivation resources for the next few years.'

'Even the congratulatory gifts from most of the ordinary cultivators of various sects could be directly refined using the Five Elements Primordial Scripture, transforming them into the source of the condensed Five Elements Primordial Essence.'

Upon seeing this, Ling Pengyun immediately broke into a wide smile.

In particular, the gifts sent by sects like the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord, who were at the Void Refinement stage, were all expensive items. Ordinary Void Refinement cultivators probably wouldn't even be willing to part with them, and they were worth at least a hundred Six Spirit Crystals each.

The fact that Ice Soul Heavenly Lord and others were willing to offer such a thing as a congratulatory gift shows that they were particularly generous.

As a result, Ling Pengyun's impression of them immediately improved.

At the same time, he also pondered carefully the words of the former Frost Sect Master regarding 'becoming a guest elder of the entire sect'.

After all, he was a guest elder of the Bingxuan lineage, which in turn was a member of the sect.

If the sect encounters trouble, he probably won't be able to escape either.

In addition, the old sect leader and others treated him very well, and he even owed them a great favor.

Moreover, this matter has great benefits, as it provides an opportunity to obtain the profound Void Refinement inheritance of the Frost Immortal Sect. This will be of great benefit to his future cultivation path and to perfecting his own Nascent Soul Transformation inheritance to the Void Refinement level.

Therefore, he immediately agreed to the matter.

"I have long hoped to become a guest elder of the sect. Therefore, since you, the sect leader, have invited me, I am very honored and I am willing to accept this offer."

"As for addressing each other as fellow disciples, that is naturally acceptable, and it suits my taste perfectly."

Ling Pengyun smiled and agreed.

Immediately afterwards, to avoid any ulterior motives from Ice Profound Heavenly Lord, who had begun supporting his cultivation early on, he made a special promise to him.

"By the way, Bingxuan... Senior Brother, although I will become a guest elder of the sect in the future, I will never forget the Bingxuan lineage."

"Even if the Bingxuan lineage doesn't mind, I will still be considered a member of the Bingxuan lineage in the future."

Upon hearing this, Bingxuan Tianjun was extremely satisfied and nodded with a smile. "Junior Brother Pengyun, your character is truly impeccable."

In addition, there's actually nothing wrong with what Ling Pengyun said.

For example, the true identity of Bingxuan Tianjun is the master of the Bingxuan lineage, and his sense of belonging to the Bingxuan lineage is even stronger.

However, he is also the sect's supreme elder, with the right to manage the entire sect.

The same applies to other sects' Void Refinement stage; they generally hold two positions.

"It would be a great blessing for the sect to have such a talented guest elder as Junior Brother Pengyun in the future."

Upon hearing Ling Pengyun's reply, the Frost Sect Master and the others couldn't help but smile.

Subsequently, the Frost Sect Master considered that Ling Pengyun was, after all, a guest elder of the sect, and thus a true member of the sect.

Therefore, he planned to make good use of this matter, and even intended to choose an auspicious day to hold a grand Void Refinement Conference for Ling Pengyun to celebrate his successful breakthrough.

At the same time, this can also serve as a deterrent to all sides, enhance the sect's reputation, and even allow the sect to recoup some of the various congratulatory gifts it has sent out over the years.

"I wonder what Junior Brother Pengyun thinks about this?"

Since the Frost Sect Master respected Ling Pengyun, he inquired.

Bingxuan Tianjun and the others shared the same idea, so they all looked at Ling Pengyun, hoping to get his reply.

“I naturally agree with this. After all, I have just entered the Void Refinement Realm and am currently poor. It would be a good thing to collect more congratulatory gifts by taking advantage of the sect’s Void Refinement Conference.”

Ling Pengyun said with a smile.

At the same time, he was also very sensible, knowing that once such a conference was held, most of the gifts brought by the guests were out of respect for the Frost Immortal Sect.

Therefore, he did not intend to monopolize the congratulatory gifts in the upcoming Void Refinement Conference, but instead planned to share them equally with the sect.

In addition, holding a grand Void Refining Conference is very likely to attract the attention of the Frost Immortal Sect's hostile forces.

However, Ling Pengyun's foundation was based on the Five Elements, making him incredibly powerful.

Furthermore, the Frost Immortal Sect is currently at its peak, and has even produced exceptionally talented Void Refinement cultivators like Ice Profound Heavenly Lord in the past. As a result, the Frost Immortal Sect is currently extremely powerful and its situation is particularly stable.

In recent years, the Frost Immortal Sect has even been suppressing some hostile forces to the point of exhaustion.

Under such circumstances, even if those hostile forces knew of Ling Pengyun's existence, they probably wouldn't dare to cause any trouble.

“Junior brother, you don’t need to do that. I will take all the benefits from the congratulatory gifts. Besides, since you agree to hold the conference, I will take care of it right away.”

Upon hearing this, the Frost Sect Master was overjoyed. He immediately arranged for some of his disciples to choose a suitable day and spread the word about Ling Pengyun's upcoming Void Refinement Conference. He also invited some familiar forces, large and small, as well as some powerful individuals, to attend.
