Chapter 196 Ling Yunhong’s ambition (3500 words, please subscribe)
the other side.

As soon as Ling Yunhong, who left the boundary of Jiaomang Lake with Yang Changxing, returned to his family, he summoned Supreme Elder Ling Pengxing, Great Elder Ling Ruxian, Fifth Elder Ling Yunxi, and Sixth Elder Ling Yunqian to the conference hall on the top of the mountain.

When everyone arrived, Ling Yunhong, who had just returned to the clan, had recently arranged two second-level formations with the Yang family on the boundary of Jiaomang Lake to occupy the next second-level mid-grade spiritual vein, and opened up 35 acres of spiritual fields for planting. Ling Ruxian and others were informed in detail about Ling Pengyun and the Immortal Spirit Crane King's future stationing in the Snake Cave Spiritual Veins.

When everyone heard the words, their expressions were different.

Some were shocked, some were worried.

Ling Jinxian, the eldest elder who has been handling family affairs all year round and is very good at planning, said with a sad look on his face.

"Yunhong, this time I occupied the second-level middle-grade spiritual veins of Jiaoman Lake with the Yang family to open up spiritual fields and plant spiritual plants. They are protected by formations and there are few monsters in the location. The ones stationed there are Pengyun and the Immortal Crane King are less risky, but the benefits they share are greater, so they should indeed agree to this matter."

"It's just that the Ling family and the Yang family jointly occupy the snake cave spiritual veins, I'm afraid it won't last long."

"If what Yang said is true, the Bailing Sect will occupy tens of thousands of miles of Jiaomang Lake and open up a new continent when the monsters riot once in a century in the past ten years. This time we The second-level mid-grade spiritual vein that I have occupied in cooperation with the Yang family will probably also belong to the human realm."

"When the time comes, when there are no more monsters around the spiritual veins, and there is no need for foundation-building monks to be stationed, the Yang family will probably kick our Ling family out, and only one person will have the second-order middle-grade spiritual veins."

When Ling Yunhong heard this, two gleams of light appeared in his expression, and he said very confidently.

"Eight years ago, when Bailingmen launched the war to exterminate demons, the second-grade low-grade Shiling walnut tree that the family and the other four families in Huaishui County obtained together has now produced more than fifty first-grade high-grade Shiling walnuts. "

"In less than three years, the more than fifty stone spirit walnuts will have accumulated enough spiritual power to reach the second level. With the help of me, a second-level spirit planter, among the more than 50 first-level high-grade stone spirit walnuts, At least half will transform into second-order low-grade ones.”

"In addition to the twenty stone spirit walnuts distributed by the other four families in Huaishui County, I, the Ling family, can at least leave nearly ten second-grade low-grade stone spirit walnuts. Relying on those ten second-grade low-grade stone spirit walnuts, I have Grasp the breakthrough from the fifth level of foundation building to the sixth level of foundation building in a short period of time."

"At that time, with my strength at the sixth level of foundation building and the help of the Earthly Evil Sword Formation, I will have no problem fighting against Yang Changxing at the ninth level of foundation building. Moreover, I will have the help of Pengyun, Pengxing, and the Immortal Crane King. , I, the Ling family, have no need to fear that Yang family."

"And with Pengyun's relationship, as long as there is no major conflict between the Yang family and the Ling family, just a simple conflict of interest, then the backer behind the Yang family will definitely not help the Yang family."

"Yang thinks I, Ling, are a thug, so why don't I use Yang as a springboard?"

“Everything is still undecided, and it’s not certain who plans who.”

These words were like a magic needle that calmed the sea, and the worries in Ling Ruxian's heart suddenly disappeared like smoke.

When Ling Pengxing, Ling Yunxi, and Ling Yunqian, who were also in the meeting hall, heard Ling Yunhong's words, their hearts surged with passion.

"Let's not discuss the matter of occupying the spiritual veins with the Yang family. Let's talk about the internal affairs of the clan."

"Uncle Eleven, the successor you selected in the past, Peng Yun, has now joined the foundation. The position of great elder requires handling various large and small affairs of the family, which takes a very long time. This position should be handed over to Peng Yunduo. It will not delay his cultivation progress."

"Peng Yun is still young, has good qualifications, and has a bright future. It would be a pity if his cultivation was delayed due to family affairs."

"In my opinion, we need to re-select a successor so that he can take over your position and manage the family in the future." Ling Yunhong said again.

Ling Jinxian knew this problem would happen as early as a year ago when Ling Pengyun successfully established the foundation.

He also planned ahead and had already selected another candidate to take his place.

"I have already thought about the candidate to take over my position. This person is Peng Liang, who is ranked No. 16 in the generation of Peng. There are three reasons why I chose Peng Liang."

"First, although I, the Ling family, want to change the foundation of Ling Zhi to Alchemy, and in the future, Ling Zhi will assist the Alchemy, but Ling Zhi is also an important skill in the family, and serves as the great elder. , it is best to be a clansman who has mastery of Lingzhi."

"Secondly, Peng Liang has good qualifications. He has the third-level spiritual root qualification. Not long ago, he just entered the sixth level of Qi training, and his spiritual cultivation has also reached the first-level middle level."

"Thirdly, the child Pengliang has been baptized by the demon-killing war launched by Bailingmen eight years ago. Now he has become extremely stable. Such a temperament is rare among the younger generation."

"Through these three factors, I want to choose Peng Liang as my successor and take over my position in the future."

"I wonder what you think?" Ling Jinxian said carefully.

"I know that Peng Liang's talent is really good. With the help of family resources, it will not be a problem to practice Qi to perfection in the future. He can take over your current responsibilities, Uncle Eleven."

"But Uncle Eleven, you don't have long life now, and your cultivation level has begun to decline. You still need to cultivate Pengliang's ability to handle family affairs as soon as possible."

"After Peng Liang can handle family affairs on his own, it's time for you, Uncle Eleven, to retire in peace."

"This period is set to...three years, which is when the fruit of the Shiling Walnut Tree enters the second level. By then, you must put down the heavy responsibilities on your shoulders and retire in the clan with peace of mind." Ling Yunhong heard. Say, agree.

"Okay, just three years. Within three years, I will train Peng Liang into a competent elder." Ling Jinxian felt warm in his heart and said with a smile.

Ling Yunhong saw that Ling Ru answered first, but felt helpless in his heart.

Three years later, Ling Ruxian, an old man who has devoted half his life to the family, may not have much life left.

After being distracted for a moment, Ling Yunhong came back to his senses and asked Ling Jinxian.

"Uncle Eleven, what is that kid Cheng Xin doing now?"

"Cheng Xin just entered the second level of Qi training not long ago." Ling Jin thought about it carefully before replying.

"The spiritual power and spiritual consciousness of the second level of Qi training can barely be used to refine elixirs or magical weapons. It's time to test this child's talent, whether he is better at refining elixirs or refining weapons." After receiving the answer, Ling Yunhongshuang His eyes flashed with a bright light and he spoke.

"I agree with this." Ling Ruxian agreed.

Ling Chengxin ranked fourth among the five generations of the Ling family, "Ru, Yun, Xiao, Peng, Cheng". He was the only person with spiritual roots found in Lingyun small town when Ling Pengyun was stationed in Lingyun Mountain three years ago.Although this child has the three spiritual roots of fire, wood, and earth, his fire and wood spiritual roots have reached a very high level of sensitivity to spiritual energy. The exercises he practices also correspond to the spiritual roots, which is a wood-assisted method. The technique of fire.

This also makes Ling Chengxin extremely good at controlling fire and has extremely high ability to control flames.

This son, because of his fire control, was early listed by the Ling family's senior management as an important training target for future alchemy or weapon refining.

Afterwards, Ling Yunhong and others discussed some clan affairs before it ended.

Ling Yunhong, an alchemist who could refine the second-level low-grade spirit-gathering elixir, also found the place where Ling Chengxin lived in the clan mountain alone after the meeting, and gave him a hundred copies of the spirit for refining the mortal world elixir. Ling Chengxin handed over to Ling Chengxin the materials, the mortal iron needed to refine the mortal iron, and an alchemy furnace.

Let him rely on these two materials to refine the mortal world elixir and the mortal world ironware respectively.

It has been tested whether Ling Chengxin's talent is stronger in alchemy or weapon refining.

……

Four months later, mid-June.

At the boundary of Jiaobo Lake, within the Rock Scale Snake Cave.

Ling Pengyun sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes. He had just meditated on the Ling Xiao Ripening Technique for an hour, and mobilized his spiritual power to warm the thorns and vines attached to his Dantian.

The body of thorns and vines in the dantian suddenly set off a huge wave of spiritual power, and began to madly absorb the liquid spiritual power in Ling Pengyun's dantian.

Ling Pengyun was overjoyed when he saw this vision. He didn't stop it and let it go as he pleased.

As the thorn vine absorbs more and more liquid spiritual power, the aura and spiritual power it leaks out also begins to gradually increase.

"Crack!"

After a few hours, a tiny breaking sound sounded from the thorn vine, and the aura it revealed officially entered the ninth level of Qi training.

Because the thorn vines entered the ninth level from the eighth level of Qi training, which was a small breakthrough, the thorn vines did not improve much, so they had no spiritual power to feed back to their master Ling Pengyun.

When the strange movements of the thorn vines stopped, Ling Pengyun also opened his eyes at this moment, opened his mouth, and called out the thorn vines that were no more than the size of a finger from his dantian.

Since he stepped into the foundation building to be able to absorb things of the same origin as himself into the Dantian for warmth and nourishment, he has collected thorns and vines into the Dantian for warmth and nourishment.

The benefits of this move are also extremely obvious. Even if Ling Pengyun does not deliberately mobilize the liquid spiritual power in the Dantian to nourish the vine, the vine can slowly absorb the liquid spiritual power and then improve his cultivation.

The liquid spiritual power in Ling Pengyun's dantian is already one level stronger than the spiritual power of a Qi-training monk. The liquid spiritual power has warmed the thorns and vines, which is like a Qi-training monk taking pure second-level spiritual fruit essence to improve his cultivation.

It is precisely because of this that the thorn vines have made rapid progress in the more than a year since Ling Pengyun entered the foundation.

Ling Pengyun looked at the thorns and vines summoned from his dantian and suspended in front of him, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he secretly made some plans.

"Seven years of cultivating this vine with spiritual power have finally helped this vine to advance from the early stages of Qi training to the ninth level of Qi training."

"Judging from the speed at which I have liquidized my spiritual power and helped this vine purify the spiritual power in its body, within five years, this vine should be able to reach the state of perfect Qi training."

"Five years is not a long time, nor is it a short time. It is time to search for spiritual water foundation-building spiritual objects such as Bailing Water for it to help it build its foundation in the future."

Thinking of this, Ling Pengyun suddenly thought that a few months ago, he, Ling Yunhong, and the Fairy Crane King cooperated with Yang Changxing to kill the foundation-building perfect rock-scale snake monster that originally occupied the snake cave. Yang Changxing agreed to rely on the foundation-building After the Perfect Rock Scale Snake Demon's inner elixir refines Little Bailing Water, he will give Ling a bottle of Little Bailing Water.

"If five years later, after the thorn vines have purified all the spiritual power in the body, and the cultivation has reached the perfection of Qi training, no one in the clan has used the bottle of little Bailing water, so we can ask the third ancestor for it."

"Although Xiaobailing Water has a low probability of improving foundation building, only half a percent, it's still better than nothing."

"If I find it difficult to raise the spiritual stones needed to purchase the Bailing Water within five years, I will settle for the next best thing and choose the family's share of the Little Bailing Water."

There are few foundation-building spiritual objects leaked from the outside world. Even the Bailing Water, a spiritual water-type foundation-building spiritual object, can only be found at auctions in various cities.

But once Bai Ling Shui appears at the auction, the price required will be extremely high. It will require at least 9000 yuan of spiritual stones to buy it.

9000 Yuan Lingshi is extremely difficult for Ling Pengyun to raise today.

The spiritual stones he earned from selling the secret method of Qiuyun Lingdao have long been spent.

As for the spiritual stones that the family owes him for refining magic weapons, they only have 5000 to 4000 yuan of spiritual stones left at most, leaving a gap of [-] to [-] yuan of spiritual stones.

The remaining three to four thousand yuan of spiritual stones would be difficult to earn in five years.

The thorn vines in the Qi training period will only have spiritual power to feed back when they themselves have been greatly improved when they enter the middle stage, late stage, or complete stage of Qi training.

After returning to his thoughts, Ling Pengyun came to his senses and put the thorn vines back into his dantian, where they were warmed with liquid spiritual power.
