The other side.
After Ling Ruxian left Zhu Wen's courtyard, he went straight to the top of Lingxiao Mountain and stopped outside the three caves on the top of the mountain, the "Hongyun Cave" in the middle.
There are two other people outside Hongyun Cave.
These two people are Ling Yunhong, the leader of the Ling clan, and Ling Pengxing, the supreme elder of the Ling clan.
The two of them were sitting cross-legged on the ground at the moment, closing their eyes and regulating their breath.
When Ling Ru entered this place first, the two of them were also alarmed and opened their eyes.
"Eleventh Uncle, what is Zhu Wen looking for?"
Ling Pengxing on the side also looked at Ling Ruxian who had just reached the top of the mountain with curious eyes.
Previously, when Zhu Wen did not touch the mist that transformed into a mysterious formation, Ling Jinxian was also here, but he left briefly because of Zhu Wen's incident.
Therefore, Ling Yunhong asked like this at this time.
"As in the past, this time Zhu Wen touched the mysterious formation that trapped him, and it was he who drew the talisman that I, the Ling family, commissioned him to draw this month."
"Except In addition, Na Zhuwen also increased the success rate of drawing fireball talismans to as high as 50%."
"Because. Considering that the family originally planned to train this person to make talismans, I gave Zhu Wen hundreds of first-level middle-grade blank talisman papers free of charge in the name of the family and asked him to try to draw a first-order middle-grade talisman."
"And gave him a huge profit to encourage him to draw a first-level middle-grade spiritual talisman." Ling Jinxian said with a smile.
"I know something about Zhu Wen. He has been in the clan for more than ten years. In the first ten years, he just refined blank talisman paper for my Ling family."
"Until the monster chaos last year At that time, because too many monsters invaded the country, the family's spiritual talisman There was a big vacancy, so Peng Yun and others who were stationed in the family entrusted him with important tasks and entrusted him to help me, Ling, draw the talisman."
"In just one year, this person drew the fireball talisman. The success rate has increased from 30% to 50%. Even if this With the help of the insights left by the talisman makers in my Ling family's spiritual talisman inheritance, I can imagine that this person's talisman-making talent is pretty good, and he can be regarded as a talented person."
"Cultivate such talents. , it’s feasible.”
"But Uncle Eleven, after all, this Zhu Wen is an outsider, not a member of my Ling clan. More importantly, this person was kidnapped back to the family by my Ling clan. Now he seems to be honest, but I am afraid that he has some feelings for me in his heart." Ling has some grudges.”
"If this person is not of some use and can create a lot of benefits for the family, it would be safer to kill him."
"However, now, it is better to deal with this situation as one of our own. The better way, family training It is worthwhile to raise this talent.”
“Otherwise, if other changes occur in the future, I am afraid that this person will also take action against our Ling family and cause trouble to our Ling family.” Ling Yunhong’s expression suddenly changed when he heard this news. said in a deep voice.
"Yunhong, do you mean to recruit Zhu Wen as my son-in-law of the Ling family?" Ling Jin listened first and immediately understood, his expression brightened and he said.
“Yes, although Zhu Wen used to be engaged in interception and killing, his ability to make talismans now is considered a talent.”
"Based on the current situation, there is probably no problem for Zhu Wen to reach the first level of mid-level talisman making in this life. Such a talent can be regarded as a good match. I, the daughter of the Ling family, will not be able to marry this person." "Suffering a loss."
"Now that Pengliang is still in the process of building a foundation, the affairs of the clan have been temporarily left to you, Uncle Eleven, so I can only trouble you to arrange some matters in the clan. The female cultivators who are of the right age and are not yet married will have more contact with Zhu Wen to see if Zhu Wen is interested in any of the female cultivators in the clan.” He should be able to calm down, and if the family gives him more benefits, with the combination of beauty and profit, it will be a matter of time to conquer him," Ling Yunhong said with a smile.
“If this matter does not come to pass, the family does not need to train this person too much in the future. It only needs to provide resources so that he can master the first-order middle-grade spiritual talismans. Do not let him master the more powerful first-order high-grade talismans. Spirit Talisman to avoid accidents. "
The current acting elder of the family, Ling Pengliang, relied on the five bottles of cold spiritual water that Ling Pengyun sold him at the lowest price to reach the state of perfect Qi training. .
He also applied for a bottle of Xiaobailing water and a pulse-protecting pill from Ling Yunhong, entered Ling Yunhong's Hongyun Cave with a second-level low-grade spirit gathering array, and retreated to break through the realm of foundation building.
The two foundation builders, Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengxing, were sitting outside Hongyun Cave at this time, also to protect Ling Pengliang, who was breaking through the realm of foundation building.
The affairs that Ling Pengliang, the acting elder, needed to take charge of were temporarily handed over to the previous elder Ling Ruxian who had retreated to the second line.
This is exactly why it was Ling Jin who went to Zhu Wen to hand over the spiritual talisman affairs first.
As for the difficulty of controlling love, Ling Yunhong was not sure that the Ling family had a female cultivator who could make Zhu Wen fascinated and let her marry the Ling family.
Ling Pengxing on the side was not good at handling such matters, so he did not speak and just listened quietly.
"It is a trivial matter to arrange for the female cultivators in the clan to contact Zhu Wen. There is no trouble at all." Ling Jin said something first, then he thought of something, his face lit up, and he asked.
“Yunhong, since you have the idea of recruiting Zhu Wen as the son-in-law of my Ling family, I wonder if you have ever thought about recruiting those rootless male and female cultivators from the outside world into my Ling family. Will you become the son-in-law or concubine of my Ling clan?"
Ling Yunhong said with a little helplessness after hearing this.
“I have naturally thought about this matter. There are not many members in the family in the Qi training period, but the foundation building strength is enough to compare with the ordinary old foundation building families. In this situation, if you want to expand the clan in a short time, The number of monks is only the method mentioned by the eleventh uncle."
"But according to the difficult situation of casual cultivators in the world of cultivating immortals, I am afraid that as long as the family tells the outside world about recruiting a son-in-law or a wife and concubines, many male and female casual cultivators will flock here."
"There will be a mixture of good and bad. , everyone has them, and there are no special auxiliary formations such as those that can be asked.”
"When recruiting sons-in-law and wives and concubines, we can only rely on experience to judge. Once we make a mistake and recruit several surrogate sons-in-law, wives and concubines who harbor bad intentions or have human-like faces and animal hearts, it will not only be detrimental to the clan members, but It’s not good, and it’s also a bad thing for the family.”
Ling Jinxian already had a way to deal with this. "More than ten days ago, Yun Qian led a convoy to transport spiritual objects to the store opened by the family in Yunshuifang City, Yunshui County. On his way back to the family, he was intercepted and killed by a group of evil cultivators."
" Yun Qian and his party were all very skilled and equipped with good spiritual objects. They killed nearly half of the evil cultivators who intercepted them. Among the trophies Yun Qian and the others obtained was a first-level mid-level formation inheritance. .”
"In that inheritance, there are several formations recorded, among which there is the layout method of a first-order mid-level illusion formation called the Shadowless Illusion Formation."
"This formation is used for interrogating monks. , although it is not as effective as the auxiliary formations such as the Asking Heart Formation, it is not a problem to rely on this formation to create some wine ponds and meat forests, and it can also test the human nature of others."
" Coupled with the help of the group of Caixia Spirit Butterflies in the family who can perform illusions, I am afraid that even ordinary seventh-level Qi-training monks will be trapped in illusions."
"The family can completely rely on the illusion array. With Lingdie, we will test the character of those casual cultivators who intend to join my Ling family and serve as my Ling family's husband-in-law and wife."
Ling Yunhong's expression suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he asked. "Does the family have the spiritual materials for refining the Shadowless Phantom Array?"
"Yes, some time ago, when the family was collecting some auxiliary formation spiritual materials needed for the two caves of Pengyun and Pengxing, they also collected some rare refining formation spiritual materials to prepare for emergencies. , including several copies of the Refined Shadowless Phantom "
"As long as the spiritual materials for refining the Shadowless Phantom Formation and the refining method of this formation are handed over to Yun Xi, I am afraid that according to Yun Xi's attainments in the formation, It won't take long to refine it," Ling Jin replied first.
Ling Yunxi is the fifth elder of the Ling clan and the strongest formation master of the Ling clan. The level of formations has reached the first-level high-level in the past few years. It is extremely easy to refine the first-level mid-level formations. .
“Uncle Eleven, you have dedicated your life to the family, and you are also the great elder of the previous generation of the Ling family. I will not hide it from you. During the chaos of monsters, Pengyun discovered a tower that can produce cold spirits. The Lingtan of the water is just in the territory of the Huxiao Liu family, and now Yunxi is sitting there."
"It's better not to go looking for Yunxi, so as not to expose Yunxi more. The danger of Lingtan where Xi is stationed ”
"Eleventh uncle, Lingtan is of great benefit to the family. Please keep this matter confidential." "I remember that Peng Lin's child also practiced alchemy when he was stationed in Xiyangfang City with me and the rest of the clan during the Monster Rebellion. Having made the formation disk and formation flag of the first-level mid-level formation, this shadowless phantom formation Let this child arrange it."
"When the formation is successfully refined, the recruitment of husbands and wives can also be carried out. When the time comes, you can call the eleventh uncle. Pengxing and I will prevent the group of casual cultivators from causing chaos," Ling Yunhong said.
Ling Ru heard the words first and looked surprised.
He did not expect that there would be such an opportunity in the clan.
Lingtan can produce spiritual water, which can be said to be a golden mountain. As long as it is well maintained, it can be inexhaustible.
At the same time, he felt warm in his heart.
The matter of Lingtan is of great importance, and Lingtan is located in the territory of Huxiao Liu family. Being able to tell him such an important matter, who has retreated to the second line, shows Ling Yunhong's trust in him. .
"I understand the importance of Lingtan to the family. Please rest assured that I will definitely bring the matter of Lingtan into the loess." Ling Jinxian said solemnly.
"Uncle Eleven, you are serious." Ling Yunhong said.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words. Ling Ruxian, like Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengxing, also sat cross-legged outside Hongyun Cave to protect Ling Pengliang, who was in retreat inside Hongyun Cave.
About a month later, a huge wave of spiritual energy erupted in Hongyun Cave.
This fluctuation of spiritual power is the result of Ling Pengliang, who was in seclusion and breaking through the realm of foundation building in Hongyun Cave, condensing the spiritual energy that was triggered by the signature liquid spiritual power of the foundation building monk.
But this spiritual energy filling the body only lasted for about two days, and then suddenly stopped.
Ling Pengliang, who had been in seclusion for a month and a half, also walked out of the Hongyun Cave, covered in blood and with a sluggish aura.
"Eleventh great-grandfather, third grandfather, and third brother, my breakthrough failed." Ling Pengliang looked helpless and said to Ling Yunhong and Ling Ruxian, who had been guarding the cave for a while. .
Ling Yunhong saw that Ling Pengliang had not broken through the foundation building, but he did not care. On the contrary, the result was actually expected.
Ling Pengliang's qualifications are quite satisfactory. Xiao Bailing Water and Pulse Protection Pill only add 10% to foundation building. It is normal that he failed to break through foundation building.
He walked forward, patted Ling Pengliang on the shoulder, and comforted him with words.
“Failure to break through the foundation building is a trivial matter. Don’t forget your desire to find the way. Xiaobailing water and pulse protection pill can only increase your probability of breaking through the foundation building by 10%. If the breakthrough fails, It’s also relatively normal.”
"You failed to break through the foundation building. How serious is the damage to your meridians?"
Ling Pengliang said happily. "My meridians are protected by the Pulse Protecting Pill. The damage to my meridians is not serious. I estimate that I can recover within a year and a half of cultivation."
Hearing this, Ling Yunhong waved his hand and took it out of the storage bag. He prepared a bottle of rejuvenation pill and handed it to Ling Pengliang.
"This is a second-level healing treasure rejuvenation pill. Take it quickly so that you can recover from the injuries in your meridians quickly."
Ling Pengliang saw what Ling Yunhong handed it to him. That rejuvenation pill made him feel even more ashamed of his family's expectations for him.
After all, the Pulse Protection Pill and Bailing Water were both valuable, but they were all wasted because of his failed breakthrough.
"Third Grandfather, I..."
Seeing Ling Pengliang's expression, Ling Yunhong guessed what he was thinking and comforted him.
"There is no need to think too much about Peng Liang. If the injury to the meridians is not recovered in time, it may damage the foundation. With the help of this rejuvenation pill, you can recover faster."
"You are old. He is not very old, and there are still at least twenty years left before the deadline for foundation building.”
"The spiritual energy you poured into your body when you set out to build the foundation lasted for two days. I think you are about to succeed in building the foundation, but you are just unlucky."
"In addition, although you did not build the foundation this time, It didn't succeed, but you have accumulated some experience. When you build the foundation for the second time, you can also increase your success rate."
"When the family's finances are better, I will make the decision. , I will find another foundation-building spiritual object for you to help you build the foundation."
"I, the Ling family, have not encountered any difficulties or troubles, and I have four foundation-building combat capabilities, which is enough. You don’t need to rush to compete with the established foundation-building families.”
“Next time, just take advantage of the opportunity to build a foundation without putting too much psychological pressure.”
"After the injury to the meridians has recovered, I will leave the seclusion as soon as possible, take over the eleventh uncle, and regain control of the affairs of the clan."
The Ling family currently has only one person, Ling Pengliang, who has reached the training level before the best period of foundation building. Full of energy.
There are not many talented people in the Ru, Yun and Xiao clansmen, and those who have perfected their Qi training are all too old and not suitable for foundation building.
The younger Peng and Cheng generations, although there are many clan members with outstanding talents, are still young and have relatively low cultivation level after all.
Ling Pengliang can be said to be the leader among the two generations of Peng and Cheng who are in the Qi training period.
Therefore, Ling Yunhong planned to give Ling Pengliang another chance to build his foundation.
After all, if the Ling family were to obtain a foundation-building spiritual object, Ling Pengliang would be the only one suitable.
Hearing this, Ling Pengliang felt warm in his heart, and at the same time, he was very sure of breaking through the foundation building realm for the second time in the future.
For this breakthrough, if the pulse-protecting pill and Bailing water he took were not effective for a short time, he would definitely be able to successfully build the foundation.
In the future, all he needs to do the second foundation building is a bottle of Xiaobailing water and the Pulse Protecting Pill. Although he is not 100% sure that he can enter the foundation building, he still has a 50% certainty.
After taking the rejuvenation pill from Ling Yunhong, he thanked him and left the top of the mountain alone, walking toward his courtyard halfway up the mountain.
Ling Yunhong, Ling Ruxian and Ling Pengxing, who were still on the top of the mountain, chatted for a few words and then said goodbye to each other and left.
Ling Yunhong entered the Hongyun Cave where Ling Pengliang had previously retreated.
Ling Pengxing entered the Star Cave.
As for the elderly Ling Jinxian, he returned to the General Affairs Hall and sorted out the affairs handled by the General Affairs Hall in the past few months as soon as possible, preparing to hand them over to Ling Pengliang, who was almost recovering from his injury.
...
Dear friends, I am not trying to suppress the number of foundations built by the Ling family. It is actually a bit of a lie to directly write about Ling Pengliang's successful foundation building.
