Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

At the same time, Ling Pengyun's cultivation speed was more than ten times faster than before when he used a Nascent Soul level cultivation technique.

Moreover, the condensed spiritual energy is even purer.

'At my current cultivation speed, I estimate I can condense at least seventy or eighty strands of extremely pure Void Refinement Spiritual Power each year.'

"And the benefits of this matter to me will be extraordinary. I even estimate that within a few years, I will have the opportunity to accumulate a thousand strands of Void Refinement spiritual power, thus advancing to the second level of Void Refinement."

Ling Pengyun was overjoyed to feel the progress he had made in his cultivation.

Immediately afterwards, he went to a small area in the inheritance chamber specifically for testing various attack methods, intending to test the Void Refinement Divine Power "Five Elements Destruction Thunder Dragon", which had also been perfected to the Void Refinement level.

'I hope this move won't disappoint me once it reaches the Void Refinement level.'

'A fifth-tier, top-grade Five Elements Magic Bead!'

'out! '

Ling Pengyun first took out the Five Elements Magic Bead, a special magic artifact he had refined in his early years, and then began to continuously perform hand seals.

'Refined Void Innate Divine Power—Five Elements Thunder Dragon!'

'Freeze!'

Furthermore, since the Five Elements Thunder Dragon technique was created by him, he had already thoroughly understood it, to the point that his understanding was comparable to the perfect level.

Therefore, he completed the technique in the blink of an eye.

The Five Elements Magic Beads then flashed with spiritual light and quickly transformed into a terrifying thunder dragon about ten feet in size.

Its body is slender and snake-like, covered with solid, multicolored scales, and its body occasionally crackles with multicolored lightning. It has a long dragon-like fin on its head and a long dragon-like whisker on its mouth, and its eyes are bright and piercing.

Moreover, its aura had reached the fourth or fifth level of the Void Refinement stage, far surpassing anything it had ever shown before.

'That Void Refining Divine Power is truly awe-inspiring after it transforms into a physical form; I just don't know how powerful it is.'

'go.'

With a thought, Ling Pengyun immediately directed his divine power to bombard the sturdy spiritual treasure iron wall that was specially built for testing spells.

It is said that the iron wall was forged by the ancestors of the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect using a large amount of fifth-grade spirit iron and a small amount of sixth-grade spirit iron from the outside world. In terms of hardness alone, it is comparable to a low-grade sixth-grade defensive spirit treasure, and is enough to easily withstand the attacks of cultivators in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

Furthermore, it can even be used as a powerful defensive magical artifact when necessary.

Soon after, the powerful dragon struck the magical iron wall.

Boom!

A deafening roar suddenly rang out, accompanied by a massive surge of spiritual energy that rippling in all directions and stirring up countless clouds of dust.

Most importantly, the divine thunder dragon actually blasted a huge gap in the iron wall of spiritual treasure.

This matter is extremely astonishing. Even the strongest Ice Profound Heavenly Lord and the old sect master of the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect would probably not be able to accomplish this with a single strike.

'The Thunder Flood Dragon's attack earlier was truly powerful. Its power likely reached the level of a full-force attack from an ordinary cultivator at the fourth or fifth level of the Void Refinement stage. It certainly didn't conceal its formidable cultivation.'

"Moreover, that divine thunder dragon is no ordinary technique. It was formed using my Five Elements Magic Pearl as its core. Therefore, as long as my spiritual power is sufficient, it can continuously attack. In addition, given my solid foundation, I can sustain its battle for an extended period. In fact, upon closer examination, that thunder dragon can be considered a powerful spirit beast at the fourth or fifth level of the Void Refinement stage."

'With his assistance, I should be able to put up a fight against even an ordinary mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator, and might even be able to easily kill an ordinary early-stage Void Refinement cultivator.'

Ling Pengyun gazed at the divine thunder dragon that still contained boundless power, his brows furrowed with delight, and he was even full of confidence.

Afterwards, he retrieved the divine thunder dragon and then tried to cultivate the newly perfected sixth-grade low-level weapon crafting and spiritual plant inheritance.

In addition, although his skills in spiritual plants and weapon crafting are still at the fifth-grade upper level or top level.

However, after he condensed a powerful foundation in Void Refinement, his comprehension improved considerably. In addition, he gained a lot of insights into the two paths when he perfected the inheritance of weapon crafting and spiritual plants.

As a result, his progress in those two skills was extremely rapid.

He was even confident that within a decade or so, he could use the sixth-grade low-level weapon crafting and spiritual plant inheritance to cultivate those two skills to the sixth-grade low-level realm.

'And by then, I imagine my ability to earn spirit stones will have improved somewhat.'

"Furthermore, this matter cannot be accomplished quickly, and it's difficult for my cultivation to improve rapidly. Moreover, with my current level of comprehension, I cannot continue to refine the various inheritances in greater depth. Therefore, even if I continue in seclusion, I'm afraid I won't gain much for the time being. It's time for me to come out of seclusion, and I can also take a look at the Hunyuan Immortal City."

"After all, under the leadership of the Hunyuan lineage, my Lingxiao Merchant Alliance has already ventured into the endless void to attack the Ghost Path Minor Realm using the Immortal-Stabilizing Realm Array, and this matter is inherently perilous."

'If I could go there, our Lingxiao Merchant Alliance's attack on that small realm would be much safer. Besides, the profits from attacking a small realm are quite substantial and worth considering.'

Ling Pengyun made plans for the future.

Then, he slowly stood up, pushed open the door, and went out, intending to leave the pass.

However, at that very moment, he subtly observed that the old sect master of the Extreme Cold Sect was standing outside the door of the inheritance chamber, as if waiting for him.

"Extremely cold... Senior brother, what are you doing here?"

Ling Pengyun asked curiously.

“Your cultivation earlier was quite tumultuous, Junior Brother. I even sensed that you might have used the Iron Wall Spirit Treasure in the Inheritance Chamber, which is specifically used to test attack methods, to test an incredibly powerful technique. That’s why I came here.”

"By the way, Junior Brother Pengyun, it's difficult for ordinary people to unleash such a powerful attack or absorb so much spiritual energy for cultivation. Have you perfected any profound techniques or attack methods?"

The old sect leader of the Extreme Cold Sect asked with a sharp glint in his eyes.

"Junior Brother has indeed perfected his cultivation techniques and attack methods, but the quality of those techniques and attack methods is extremely ordinary. It is only because those inheritances are Junior Brother's innate inheritances, coupled with Junior Brother's own relatively good foundation, that those techniques and attack methods appear to be more powerful."

Ling Pengyun said modestly.

In addition, he knew that the main purpose of the Extreme Cold Sect Master's visit was probably for the inheritance he had perfected.

However, he was not averse to it, since he was able to perfect those inheritances mainly because of the profound inheritances accumulated by countless predecessors of the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect as a reference.

Otherwise, he would probably need to spend countless more hours perfecting those inheritances.

Furthermore, he did not particularly value those inheritances; in fact, he planned to seek opportunities in the future to further refine them, even to the point of perfecting them to the middle, superior, or even top level of their respective rank.

Moreover, he had stayed in the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect for many years and knew that the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect was quite reliable.

Therefore, he took the opportunity to copy down all the perfected ordinary inheritances and handed them over to the old sect master of the Extreme Cold Sect.

"Senior brother, these are the inheritances I perfected. It's just a pity that their quality is ordinary and they are incomplete. They are all sixth-grade low-grade. As a result, their effects on ordinary people are not particularly strong and cannot compare with some of the other profound inheritances in the sect. But I hope you will not look down on them."

"At the same time, I also hope that these inheritances can help the sect cultivators and give them more options."

"However, I hope you will remember not to leak those inheritances. Otherwise, if bad people get their hands on them and use them to develop special methods to target me, I will be in trouble."

Ling Pengyun said sincerely.

“Junior brother, your actions are truly noble. Also, junior brother, rest assured, I will guard those inheritances as strictly as I would the sect’s inheritances, and they will never be leaked.”

"Furthermore, I really didn't expect that you, junior brother, would have perfected so many inheritances in just ten years. It seems that your comprehension is extraordinary."

Upon seeing this, the old sect leader of the Extreme Cold Sect was extremely surprised and even exclaimed in amazement.

He even immediately made a Heavenly Oath and took out a high-level Yuan Soul Contract, representing the sect, to indicate that he would never easily leak those inheritances in the future.

Secondly, although the inheritances that Ling Pengyun took out were still at the sixth-order low-grade level and of ordinary quality, even so, they were still extremely valuable to the outside world.

Furthermore, their effects do not overlap with the sect's other inheritances. As a result, with those inheritances, the sect's foundation in the Void Refinement inheritance can be strengthened.

"Therefore, how could the sect despise those inheritances? In fact, it would be more than eager to have them. By the way, the sect will absolutely not let you suffer a loss in the matter of giving away inheritances," said the old sect master of the Extreme Cold Sect.

Furthermore, he recently considered that Ling Pengyun's breakthrough to the early stage of the Void Refinement realm was relatively recent, and that the sect did not have any extra sixth-order spiritual treasures.

Furthermore, most of the sixth-tier spiritual treasures owned by the sect are of ice and water attributes, which are not particularly suitable for Ling Pengyun, who is cultivating the Five Elements Technique.

Therefore, he specifically went to the outside world to search for sixth-order spiritual treasures with the five elements attributes.

However, with the world on the verge of chaos drawing ever closer, the prices of items like magical treasures are soaring.

Therefore, such items are extremely expensive nowadays, and even if he emptied the sect's coffers, he still couldn't afford them.

Therefore, he had no choice but to settle for second best, and instead spent a lot of money and connections to finally find five kinds of precious iron for Ling Pengyun: a piece of Taibai Precious Iron of the sixth-grade low-level metal attribute, a Cangyuan Spirit Wood tree trunk of the wood attribute, a Tide Precious Iron of the water attribute, a Crimson Flame Precious Iron of the fire attribute, and a Hard Stone Precious Iron of the earth attribute.

Their size and weight are quite good. With the help of a high-level weapon refiner, they are more than capable of being used to refine a sixth-grade low-level Five Elements Spiritual Treasure two or three times.

If you succeed even once during this period, you will make a huge profit.

"These things are one of the sect's gifts of gratitude to you."

"In addition, I will allocate 30,000 sixth-tier contribution points to your account. You can use these to buy all sorts of things from the sect's treasury. Furthermore, since you are the sect's top guest elder and a Void Refinement cultivator, you can get a 30% discount when you exchange contribution points for items in the sect's treasury."

"Our sect's storeroom contains quite a few treasures, including some sixth-order spiritual items and even mid-grade sixth-order spiritual items."

"Moreover, other cultivators in the sect have restrictions on the number of spiritual items they can exchange, but you don't. You can exchange as many as you want."

The old sect master of the Extreme Cold Sect promised Ling Pengyun great benefits and handed over all five special sixth-grade low-quality precious iron pieces that he had previously collected for Ling Pengyun.

In addition, he intentionally set an example for Ling Pengyun, allowing him to freely exchange spiritual items in the treasure vault, also intending to take this opportunity to bring the two closer.

Secondly, it was also to allow Ling Pengyun to take this opportunity to acquire more good items and enhance his strength.

Only in this way could he feel at ease; otherwise, if something happened to Ling Pengyun, the sect would suffer a huge loss.

'Senior Brother Jihan has been very good to me; I never expected him to secretly obtain such rare fifth or sixth-grade low-level precious iron for me.'

"Moreover, because of my submission of the inheritance this time, they plan to give me a full 30,000 contribution points. Upon closer examination, this reward is quite substantial."

'It was even a premium they gave me as a reward.'

Ling Pengyun looked at the five pieces of precious iron, his heart filled with joy and a greater sense of goodwill towards the old sect master of the Extreme Cold Sect.

In addition, the value of a sixth-tier sect contribution point is equivalent to a sixth-tier spirit crystal, which is quite valuable and can be used to exchange for many good things from the sect.

He then expressed his gratitude.

"There's no need for that; you deserve it all."

The old sect leader of the Extreme Cold Sect said with a smile.

The two then chatted briefly. During this time, Ling Pengyun, being extremely curious about the sect's treasure vault, asked the old sect master of Jihan to take him there.

And indeed, the treasure trove contained many treasures.

Even the things you see are all good.

In addition, although most of them are low-grade spiritual objects, there are a great many of them, and many of them are of good quality.

Indirectly, their value is also quite good.

Secondly, there are a few high-level spiritual objects.

Ling Pengyun even saw more than thirty sixth-order talismans and dozens of fifth-order top-grade breakthrough spiritual items, among other things.

The only drawback might be that no sixth-tier cultivation resources survived.

However, Ling Pengyun could understand this, since sixth-order cultivation resources were extremely rare and were among the most easily consumed resources.

As soon as it appears, it will probably be exchanged by those cultivators at the Void Refinement stage of the sect.

Even so, the treasures of the sect's treasury are still enough to amaze people.

'I truly didn't expect that the sect would possess so many rare sixth-tier talismans and top-grade fifth-tier breakthrough spiritual items... The foundation of such a long-established early-stage Void Refinement power as the sect is not to be underestimated.'

Ling Pengyun looked around at the various treasures in the vault, extremely excited.

Moreover, those items are especially cheap after being discounted.

For example, items like low-grade sixth-order talismans and top-grade fifth-order breakthrough spirit objects, which are worth at least tens or even hundreds of sixth-order spirit crystals on the market, only require a few dozen sixth-order contribution points after a 30% discount.

In addition, Ling Pengyun has a lot of sixth-tier contribution points, which can be exchanged for those kinds of things without limit.

Therefore, Ling Pengyun directly exchanged nearly 70-80% of the sect's sixth-tier talismans, as well as fifth-tier top-grade breakthrough spiritual items and other such items.

In fact, if he weren't worried about exchanging too much and affecting the sect's future foundation, he would have loved to exchange the rest as well.

In the end, he acquired more than twenty sixth-tier talismans, as well as thirty or forty sets of top-grade fifth-tier breakthrough spiritual items and other such items.

"Furthermore, I've acquired quite a few sixth-tier talismans this time. If I encounter an enemy, I can unleash them all, which should be enough to unleash extremely powerful energy. Perhaps, combined with my Void Refinement Divine Power, the Thunder Flood Dragon Technique, I might even be able to kill a mid-stage Void Refinement expert."

"Oh, and we can also give a few talismans to Madam and the others. This will indirectly make them safer while leading the Merchant Alliance on campaigns abroad."

'As for those top-grade fifth-tier breakthrough spiritual items, they can be sent back to the family as a foundation. In fact, if we buy more, the family probably won't lack such things for the next thousand years. Moreover, it's possible that we can use them to cultivate quite a few Nascent Soul Perfection cultivators...'

Ling Pengyun burst into laughter.

Moreover, after this frenzy of exchanging for spiritual items, he still had a considerable number of contribution points left, even around 15,000.

"Senior Brother Jihan, could you please leave me with some sixth-tier spirit crystals or sixth-tier cultivation resources for my remaining contribution points? I'll take as many as you have."

Ling Pengyun smiled and said to the old sect master of the Extreme Cold Sect.

"Alright, don't worry about this matter. Even if you don't mention it, the sect will definitely do it this way. After all, your talent is the strongest in the sect, so you should rightfully receive the sect's main resources."

The old sect leader of the extreme cold and the benevolent Dao.

In addition, at first, after the old sect master of the Extreme Cold Sect glanced at the spiritual items that Ling Pengyun had exchanged away, he couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

After all, he usually treasured those things like the back of his hand.

However, when he thought about how Ling Pengyun's strength would increase significantly after acquiring talismans and other such items, and how his ability to protect himself would also be greatly enhanced, he couldn't help but accept it.

Secondly, he was somewhat curious about Ling Pengyun's large-scale exchange of fifth-grade top-quality breakthrough spiritual items.

'Could it be that Junior Brother plans to use this opportunity to cultivate a large number of his own loyal followers?'

He secretly guessed, but this was a common occurrence.

He didn't interfere much, and fifth-grade top-quality spiritual items weren't particularly rare for the sect, since the sect's greatest expertise was in spiritual plant cultivation, followed by alchemy.

Therefore, the sect planted a lot of spiritual materials for refining such things, and a large number of such spiritual materials could mature every once in a while.

At that time, as long as a highly skilled alchemist from the sect refines it, many top-grade fifth-tier breakthrough spiritual items can be produced.

It was precisely because of this that the sect accumulated so many top-grade fifth-tier spiritual items for breaking through to higher realms.

What sects truly lack is talent. (End of Chapter)
