Chapter 918: Parents are getting older and time flies by (10,000-word update)
According to Ling Chengyuan, among them Ling Renyang, who is the most talented in Fu Dao and also the youngest, has gained the most in the past nine years.
Nine years ago, Ling Renyang's talisman level was only at the first-level mid-level level, but now, he can barely draw a quasi-second-level talisman, with a success rate of 20%.
Given Ling Renyang a few more years, he will definitely become a quasi-second-level Talisman Maker.
The reason for this is that he has the qualification of three spiritual roots, which is quite good. With the efforts of his family to train him, he has now been promoted from the middle stage of Qi training to the eighth level of Qi training.
Her qualifications in Talisman Dao are similar to those of Ling Renyang, and she is also the only female Talisman Maker "Ling Lizui" among the three Talisman Makers. Her progress is also not small.
She is one generation older than Ling Renyang, and belongs to the li generation among "Yun, Xiao, Peng, Cheng, Wan, Li, Ren", so she is also older. Nine years ago, she was sixty-one years old, her cultivation was at the early stage of foundation building, and her talisman-making level was at the second-level low level.
Nine years have passed, and although her talisman-making skills have not reached the second-level mid-level realm, according to Ling Lizui’s reply, within five years, her talisman-making skills will definitely reach the second-level mid-level realm. , to become a second-level mid-level talisman maker, you can master at least three types of second-level mid-level talismans, and the probability of success will not be less than 30%.
However, this person's qualifications are not as good as Ling Renyang's. She only has the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots. So far, her cultivation is only at the second level of foundation building.
It is precisely for this reason that Ling Chengyuan and other senior family officials speculate that Ling Lizui will be hindered by her cultivation in the future, and her Talisman Dao will basically stop at the second level, and at most it will be accurate. Level 3 Talisman Maker.
The last talisman maker was "Wang Quan", the son-in-law of the Ling family. Although his qualifications were not comparable to those of Ling Renyang and Ling Lizui, he was not weak, at least better than the other talisman makers of the Ling family.
In addition, like Ling Renyang, he is a Three Spiritual Root cultivator, and strictly speaking, his cultivation qualifications are slightly better than Ling Renyang.
Nine years ago, he was nearly a hundred years old, and he was the oldest among the three talisman-making seedlings.
At that time, his cultivation had reached the middle stage of foundation building, and his Talisman Dao had been cultivated one step ahead, entering the second-level high-grade realm in advance.
In the nine years he has been with the Spiritual Talisman Ancestor, although his Talisman Dao grade has not been upgraded to the second-level high-grade realm, his attainments in Talisman Dao have improved a lot.
His current probability of success in refining several kinds of spiritual talismans is as high as 40%, and the probability of success in refining one of the spiritual talismans he is best at is as high as 50%.
At the same time, this person was also the talisman-making seedling that Ling Pengyun and others valued most, apart from the talisman-making genius Ling Renyang.
Due to her talent in cultivation, Ling Licui was inferior to the two.
It is also worth mentioning that Ling Renyang, a talisman-making genius in the qi training realm, is one of the "five sons of Ling's qi training" just like Ling Pengyun's grandson Ling Wanhan.
Ling Lizui belongs to the "Five Shows of the Ling Family" among the female foundation-building cultivators.
They are all key seedlings of the Ling family.
As for Wang Quan, who was also a talisman maker, even if he became the son-in-law of the Ling family, he was an outsider after all and was not suitable to be included in the titles of the Ling family.
After all, whether they are the Eighth Qi Practitioner of the Ling Family, the Three Qi Practitioners, the Six Foundation-Building Sages, or the Five Foundation-Building Sages, they are all the names of the Ling Family.
Among these facades, a monk with a foreign surname was mixed in, which somewhat damaged the reputation of the Ling family.
Giving a title to these monks with foreign surnames is also a bit damaging to their reputation and is not suitable.
However, as long as the Ling family married a female cultivator from the Ling family and had children, the Ling family would not hesitate to train any monks with other surnames who were as talented as Wang Quan.
It’s just that this group of people is missing a title, and they don’t have any objections in their hearts.
"In this way, Senior Lingfu has not broken his promise, and he is serious about teaching Ren Yang and the three of them."
Ling Pengyun murmured.
Afterwards, Ling Pengyun and Ling Chengyuan discussed other family affairs, as well as the two major golden elixir families under the family, the Pingyun Yang family, the Poyun Liang family, and the other three major sects in the Yan Kingdom. The situation of the three major forces of "Bailingmen", "Yaowang Valley" and "Qingxin Taoist Temple".
Since the Monster Rebellion decades ago, when the Ling family led the Yang family and the Liang family to occupy the territory of Purple Scorpion Ridge, the only third-level spiritual vein in that area was also given to the Yang family and the Liang family by the Ling family. Let the two families divide this third-level spiritual vein on their own.
However, the two factions, Yang Siqi, a golden elixir cultivator, and Liang Mingtu, a fake elixir cultivator, reached an agreement for some unknown reason, and actually occupied the third-level spiritual vein together, and established two training caves respectively. Among them for cultivation, many first-class cultivation caves were established, and the two powers were equally divided.
As the two families obtained this third-level spiritual vein, the 10,000 spiritual stones that had to be paid to the Ling family every year were also paid by both families.
As for Bailingmen, five years ago, another Jindan appeared. She was a member of the Bailingzhenren faction, with the Taoist name "Duolingzhenren", and she was a female Jindan.
In this way, the Bailing Sect faction has four people named Jindan, namely Zhenren Bailing, Zhenbao Yuan, Zhenren Baiyuan in the fake elixir realm, and Zhenren Duoling.
The number of monks in the faction of the Spiritual Talisman Ancestor has not increased.
In the early years, Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi’s good friend "Qin Shi" when they were still building foundations, made great contributions to the monster chaos, and was also given a monster golden elixir by the ancestor of Lingfu. A second-class golden elixir spiritual object helped him condense the fake elixir which was easier, but unfortunately, Qin Shi failed.
Currently, Qin Shi’s lifespan is running out.
A few years ago, Qin Shi personally visited Ling Pengyun, wanting to meet his friend Ling Pengyun.
But unfortunately, Ling Pengyun was not in the family at that time, so he was rejected and returned to Jiaomang Lake.
Yaowang Valley, which already has a strong foundation, has gained two more Jindan masters in the past few decades, with the Taoist names of "Zhenren Yaokui" and "Zhenren Ganglie".
The former is an alchemist who comes from the disciples of the King of Medicine. She is also a female monk who is good at water refining.
The latter is a body cultivator who was trained by the Yaowang Sect at great cost to protect the sect. This person is also extremely loyal to the Yaowang Sect.
Qingxin Taoist Temple has not produced new golden elixirs due to the decline of talent in its early years, but there are many more golden elixir seedlings.
Maybe in the future, this sect will have more golden elixirs.
After chatting, Ling Pengyun also handed over the ten elixirs and spiritual materials that Canglan Bihai Sect entrusted to Ling Yunhong, the alchemist, to help refine them, as well as the third-level Geng Gold Alchemy Spirit Pond and the third-level spiritual veins gifted from Beishan Master. The formations were handed over to Ling Chengyuan, and were handed over to Ling Yunhong, who was currently in retreat practicing to attack the fifth level of the golden elixir, and to Ling Penglin, the formation master who was in retreat to study the formations.
Afterwards, Ling Pengyun and his wife Yan Siyi rushed to the Ice and Snow Valley in the Ice and Snow Forest to visit their grandson "Ling Wanhan".
According to the great elder Ling Chengyuan, as early as four years ago, he was taken to the Ice and Snow Valley by his parents Ling Chengping and Lin Fan, waiting for the return of Ling Pengyun and his wife.
Ling Pengyun’s only son, Ling Chengxia, also returned to the Ice and Snow Valley four years ago.
………
The boundary of the ice and snow forest.
Ice and Snow Valley.
Depth.
On a piece of flat ground, there is a 1.5-meter-6-meter, fair-skinned child in rich clothes holding a long sword, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged monk in black with eyes like torches. Against swords.
The long sword in the child's hand was only half a head shorter than his, which made the child's appearance of holding the sword a bit funny.
But the child used the long sword in his hand very well. Every time he struck the sword, there was a faint sound of breaking through the air. All he could see was that the sword passed smoothly, and it looked very organized.
No matter how fancy the child made the long sword in his hand, it was difficult to break through the defensive offensive constructed by the middle-aged monk in black who waved the long sword with one hand.
However, the middle-aged monk in black only defended himself and rarely attacked, as if he was giving tricks to the child.
The swordsmanship in the child's hands has actually improved, becoming much more powerful. At this time, two old men, Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun, who had followed Ling Pengyun to the Ice and Snow Forest Branch where the Ice and Snow Valley was located decades ago, suddenly ran in quickly from outside the valley.
There were countless expressions of surprise on their faces.
Yang Qiuyun greeted the child and the middle-aged monk in black who were actually fighting swords.
"Cheng Xia and Wan Han, hurry up and ask Cheng Ping and the others to come out of seclusion."
"The valley-protecting formation in my hand sensed the entrance of Pengyun and Siyi. They are within ten thousand feet of the valley, and they will be almost in the valley within a short time."
This situation also alarmed the child "Ling Wanhan" and the middle-aged man in black who were fighting swords. Monk "Ling Chengxia".
They immediately stopped fighting, and immediately looked up in all directions with surprise on their faces.
The child Ling Wanhan, who was only nine years old, had a bit of curiosity on his face.
Nine years ago, shortly after he was born, his maternal grandparents, Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi, left the family. Since then, he has never seen his parents again, nor has he ever seen the man who is said to have the golden elixir cultivation level and the clan. Grandfather Ling Pengyun, the most powerful person in the family, and grandmother Yan Siyi, the spiritual chef.
"What are you doing here? Go and call Cheng Ping and Xiaofan. Then our family will be reunited and have a lot of fun together."
Ling Xiao meets Ling Chengxia and Ling Wan With a cold expression, he urged.
Ling Chengxia and Ling Wanhan withdrew their gaze after hearing their elder's words.
However, when they were about to run to a training cave deep in the valley to call Ling Chengping and Lin Fan, who had just learned the secret technique not long ago, a kind man's voice also came from a distance. come out.
"Cheng Ping and Lin Fan are still in seclusion, so don't call them. After they come out of seclusion, it won't be too late to get together."
As soon as these words fell, the sky in the distance A blue light flew quickly.
Ling Chengxia and Ling Wanhan also stopped walking.
Ling Wanhan, who had been on the Taoist path for a year, saw the flying Qingdao Escape Light, his eyes filled with surprise.
“This golden elixir escape technique is really fast.”
Ling Xiaoshun, Yang Qiuyun, and Ling Chengxia looked at the escape light and were full of surprises.
"Sure enough, Pengyun is back."
Yang Qiuyun murmured.
Soon, the cyan escaping light fell beside them.
At this time, Ling Wanhan realized that the cyan escaping light was transformed into a green-haired roc.
"Grandpa's Fengying Peng?"
And on top of the big roc, sat a young monk wearing a blue robe, tall and tall, with an extraordinary temperament, and A beautiful young female cultivator wearing a plain robe, plump, 1.78 meters tall, and looking very elegant.
“These two people look exactly like the portraits of my grandparents in my mother’s hands. They must be my grandparents.”
"But why is grandpa so young?"
The child Ling Wanhan was so shocked that his mouth opened so wide that he could stuff an egg into it.
He had heard that his grandparents, Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi, were already 160 or 70 years old.
And Yan Siyi and his wife, who were on Feng Yingpeng's back, also jumped to the ground at this moment.
"Dad, mother, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are getting older and your hair has turned a lot whiter. Your cultivation has not improved much in the past nine years, but the matter in the Ice and Snow Forest Branch is too big. Too much? ”
The young monk "Ling Pengyun" with extraordinary temperament saw the two old men Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun again after nine years. However, he saw that the two old men had many wrinkles on their faces and their hair was much whiter. His brows suddenly furrowed.
“Silly boy, your father and I will be almost two hundred years old in a few years. Most foundation-building monks at this age cannot get out of bed. Your father and I just have long white hair at this time. , is there anything strange?”
“By the way, Pengyun, this time you and Siyi went out to the Zhongzhou Immortal Cultivation World, why did it take a full nine years for you to come back? "Ah?"
"But what trouble did you encounter? Are you injured?"
The look of surprise on the face of Ling Pengyun's mother "Yang Qiuyun" suddenly turned into a look of worry. Then he walked up to the immortal Ling Pengyun and the beautiful cultivator "Yan Siyi" and kept looking at them up and down to check if there were any injuries on their bodies.
Nine years ago, when Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi left home, in order to reassure their families, they also promised that they would return home within five years. However, there were too many changes during their trip. Tan, another trip to the Baiying Secret Realm, another trip to the Canglan Secret Realm to reforge magic weapons, etc. after obtaining many high-level spiritual irons.
It was precisely because Ling Pengyun and his wife had delayed their return home for four years that made Yang Qiuyun so worried.
The Ling Chengping family, who has been in charge of the Lingxiao Qianxing Lake branch all year round, and Ling Chengxia, who is on the dragon vein of the Bailingmen Jiaomang Lake branch, came to the Ice and Snow Valley, the Ling Pengyun monastery place, one after another four years ago. Because of this reason.
Zhongzhou Cultivation World is a place where few families have set foot in. It is said to be the starting point of all Cultivation Worlds. There are many spiritual beings in it, but it is also very dangerous.
Yang Qiuyun and others have been worried about Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi for many years.
At this time, Ling Chengxia also asked with a worried look.
"Yes, Dad, Mom, why did it take you so long to come back this time?"
The child Ling Wanhan just came back to his senses at this moment, timidly facing the legend Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi, the golden elixir masters among them, shouted.
“Grandpa!”
“Grandma!”
Although Ling Pengyun's father, Ling Xiaoshun, did not speak a word, the worry on his face was no less than that of Taoist companion Yang Qiuyun.
At this time, Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi, who had just jumped off Fengying Peng, felt a little sad after hearing Yang Qiuyun's words.
Yes!
Their parents, Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun, are both nearly two hundred years old.
Even though over the years, the two of them have found a lot of longevity-increasing things for these two elders, Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun are only foundation-building monks after all, and their longevity has only been added to about three hundred years. That’s all.
This is because the two of them have low cultivation levels and can take a lot of things to increase their lifespan. If the golden elixir monks want to extend their lifespan for a hundred years, it will be extremely difficult.
Now, Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun have basically taken common and some rare longevity-increasing substances on the market. In the next hundred years, if these two elders fail to enter the realm of golden elixir, I'm afraid that the two of them will also die... and go away.
For a moment, the joy that Ling Pengyun and his wife felt at returning home suddenly dissipated and turned into heaviness.
