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, also arranged two second-level formations with the Yang family not long ago at the boundary of Jiaomang Lake to occupy the next second-level middle-grade spiritual vein, and open up Thirty-five acres of spiritual land was planted with spiritual plants, and the family would receive 40% of the proceeds. Ling Pengyun and the Immortal Spirit Crane King would be stationed in the snake cave spiritual veins in the future. Ling Ruxian and others were informed in detail. .
Everyone had different expressions when they heard this.
Some were shocked, some were worried.
Ling Ruxian, 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 boundary of Jiaoman Lake with the Yang family to occupy the second-level middle-grade spiritual veins to open up spiritual fields and plant spiritual plants. There are formations to protect them, and there are few monsters in the location. , Pengyun and the Immortal Crane King stationed there are less dangerous, but the benefits they share are large, so they should indeed agree to this matter."
"It's just that we, the Ling family and the Yang family, occupy it together. The matter of the snake cave spiritual veins may not last long.”
“If what Yang said is true, the Bailing Sect will take over again in the next ten years when the monsters riot once in a century. Tens of thousands of miles away from the Jiaomang Lake, a new continent has been opened up. The second-level mid-level spiritual vein that we jointly occupied with the Yang family this time will probably also belong to the human race. "
"At that time, 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 acquired together has now grown more than fifty pieces. "The top-grade stone spirit walnuts"
"In less than three years, those fifty or so stone spirit walnuts will have accumulated enough spiritual power to reach the second level, with me, the second-grade spirit planter, assisting me. ,That At least half of the more than fifty first-grade high-grade stone spirit walnuts will transform into second-grade low-grade stone spirit walnuts.” I 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 am sure to break through from the fifth level of foundation building to the sixth level of foundation building in a short 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, don’t need to be afraid of the Yang family at all.”
“And with Pengyun’s relationship, as long as there is no major conflict between the Yang family and the Ling family, it is just a simple conflict of interest. , the backer behind the Yang family will definitely not help the Yang family."
"The Yang family thinks that I, the Ling family, are a thug, so why don't I use the Yang family as a springboard."
"Everything is still undecided, and it is not certain who plans who."
These words were like a needle that fixed the sea, and Ling Ruxian's worries 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 chose in the past is Peng. Yun, now that he has entered the foundation, the position of great elder needs to handle all kinds of family affairs, large and small, which takes a long time. This position is more or less handed over to Peng Yun. It will 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 is 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 that this problem would definitely happen as soon as Ling Pengyun successfully established the foundation a year ago.
He also took precautions and had already selected another candidate to take his place.
"I have already thought about the alternative to take my place. This person is Pengliang, who ranks sixteenth in the generation of Pengzi. There are three reasons why I chose Pengliang."
"Others. First, although I, the Ling family, want to change the foundation of spiritual cultivation to the alchemy one, in the future, the spiritual cultivation will assist the alchemy one. Dao, but Lingzhi Yiyi is also an important skill in the family. To hold the position of great elder, it is best for someone who masters Lingzhi Yiyiyi. "
"Secondly, Pengliang has good qualifications and has three spiritual roots. Qualifications, he has just reached the sixth level of Qi training not long ago, and his spiritual cultivation has also reached the first level of 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."
" Combining these three factors, I want to choose Peng Liang as my successor and take over my position in the future."
"What do you think?" Ling Jinxian said carefully.
"I know that the talent of Peng Liang 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 much 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, Uncle Eleven should retire in peace."
"This period is set to...three years, which is the fruit of the Shiling walnut tree. When you reach the second level, you must put down the heavy responsibilities on your shoulders and take care of yourself in your clan for the rest of your life." Ling Yunhong agreed upon hearing this.
"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 felt helpless when he saw Ling Ru answered first.
After three years, Ling Ruxian, an old man who has dedicated half his life to his 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 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 is time to test this child's talent, whether he is better at refining elixirs or refining weapons." Obtained. After replying, Ling Yunhong's eyes flashed 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 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 control over 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.
Subsequently, 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, in 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 Lingxiao 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, but he did not stop it and let it go as he pleased.
As the thorn vine absorbed more and more liquid spiritual power, the aura and spiritual power it revealed began to gradually increase.
"Click!"
A few hours later, a very small breaking sound sounded from the thorn vine, and the breath it revealed officially entered the ninth level of Qi training.
Because the thorn vines have entered the ninth level from the eighth level of Qi training, which is a small breakthrough, the thorn vines have not improved much, and there is no spiritual power to feed back to the 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 bigger than a finger from his dantian.
Since he stepped into the foundation to store 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, just like a Qi-training monk taking pure second-level spiritual power. Fruit spirit improves 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 building.
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 my body, within five years, this vine should be able to reach the state of perfect Qi training."
"Five years is a long time. It’s not long, but it’s time to search for spiritual water foundation-building spiritual objects like Bai Ling Shui to help it build its foundation in the future.”
Thinking about 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 rock-scale snake monster that originally occupied the snake cave, Yang Changxing. He promised to give Ling a bottle of Xiaobailing water after refining it with the inner elixir of the Perfect Rock Scale Snake Demon.
“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, the bottle of little Bailing water in the clan has not been used by the clan, but it can be used by the third ancestor. Come."
"Although Xiaobailing Water has a low probability of improving foundation building, it is only half a percent, but it is better than nothing."
"If it is difficult for me 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." Bai Ling Shui, 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 take at least 9,000 spirit stones to buy it.
Nine thousand spiritual stones are 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, there are only four to five thousand spiritual stones left at most, and there are still three to four thousand spiritual stone holes left.
The remaining three to four thousand spiritual stones will be difficult to earn in five years.
The thorns and vines in the Qi training period will only have spiritual power to feed them back when they themselves have been greatly improved when they enter the middle stage, late stage of Qi training, or when the Qi training is complete.
After returning to his thoughts, Ling Pengyun came to his senses, put the thorn vines back into his Dantian, and warmed them with liquid spiritual power.
