The other side.
Within the cave.
Ling Pengyun took his grandson Ling Wanhan, water attribute Tian Linglihao, and the steady temperament Ling Wanhui to sit on a stone table, and brewed a pot of spiritual tea for them.
Seeing this battle, Ling Wanhan and the others began to realize that something was wrong.
Ling Wanhui, who rarely spoke and had a steady temperament, was the first to ask at this moment.
"Grandpa, do you have anything to tell us to do?"
Ling Pengyun said with a smile. "You're a smart kid."
"I do have something to ask you to do, so I'll keep it short. I plan to establish a branch of power in the Zhongzhou Immortal World, the origin of all Immortal Worlds, to Develop the family territory.”
“I plan to leave this matter to Wan Han and Wan Hui.”
"Are you two willing to take on this matter?"
"If you two can make some achievements, in the future you two will pave the golden elixir road...I will pave it!"
When the steady Ling Wanhui heard this, he couldn't suppress the expression on his face and showed a hint of surprise.
Ling Wanhan is even more like this.
Neither of them expected that Ling Pengyun's search for them would be so difficult.
Setting up a branch is not easy, it is extremely difficult.
Not to mention that their current cultivation level is only at the level of foundation building.
With this kind of cultivation, it is extremely difficult to gain a foothold in the Zhongzhou Immortal Cultivation World, which is said to be the most prosperous in this world.
At the same time, they are extremely yearning for the golden elixir path taught by Ling Pengyun.
If an ordinary golden elixir said this, Ling Wanhan and Ling Wanhui would naturally not believe it, but these words were said by Ling Pengyun, an ancestor with extraordinary strength, so the meaning is different. .
You know, when Ling Pengyun was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, he killed the strong men in the late Golden Core stage.
What's more, Ling Pengyun has long been called the most powerful golden elixir in the Yan Kingdom by the monks of the Yan Kingdom, and has unlimited resources in his hands.
As for Ling Lihao, who was not entrusted with important tasks by Ling Pengyun, he didn't think anything of it. He knew the reason for this situation.
Once he goes to Zhongzhou to cultivate immortality, it will also increase the risk of his Tianling Root being exposed.
Over the years, as a person with Tianling Root, he has been reminded by Ling Pengyun not to use all his strength in front of unfamiliar tribesmen or other monks, and not to take the initiative to reveal his cultivation aura, etc.
Ling Pengyun even specially placed a restriction on him that could cover up his vitality and spiritual roots, and also refined a breath-condensing magic weapon to cover up his cultivation.
And all this is to prevent the spread of his spiritual roots.
This day’s spiritual root is both an opportunity and a disaster.
When his cultivation level was low, if he had Tianlinggen Gaiden, it would most likely be a chance. The most likely possibility is that he would be brought back to his own power by a righteous monk for training.
But as he gets older, his spiritual root becomes a disaster.
His character has been determined. Even if he has Heavenly Spiritual Roots, those powerful forces that value Heavenly Spiritual Roots will not easily accept him as a disciple. The greater possibility is to destroy his soul and use it to seize his body.
Or used to refine demon corpses.
The demon corpse refined from the corpse of a monk with Tianlinggen has extremely high potential and has the possibility of becoming a Nascent Soul Heavenly Corpse.
However, Ling Lihao didn't understand why Ling Pengyun wanted him to know about this since he didn't want him to go to Zhongzhou to establish a branch in the Immortal Cultivation World.
Ling Pengyun can completely let him wait outside like Ling Chengxin.
This matter of setting up a branch in the Immortal Cultivation World in Zhongzhou is of great importance. Once word spreads, the establishment of the branch will encounter great obstacles.
Everyone was stunned for a while. Ling Wanhui, who had always been steady, thought of his father "Ling Chengyuan" who was the elder of the family and had just entered the Golden Pill. Not long ago, when his father attacked the Golden Pill, he used The family's golden elixirs and spiritual objects have not yet been paid off.
His father Ling Chengyuan has not mastered the Hundred Arts. Even though he is a great elder and can receive much more offerings every year than other golden elixir monks of the same level in his family, he still wants to ensure that his cultivation progresses. Under such circumstances, it will take at least three to four hundred years to repay that debt.
If you go out to earn profits by hunting monsters, the time to repay the debt can be accelerated.
It's a pity that although Ling Chengyuan has trained many successors, they can take over the affairs of his great elder and manage some of the family's chores.
However, as the family becomes stronger and stronger, there are more and more Foundation Establishment monks in the clan, and matters involving the interests of all parties involved in Foundation Establishment are also extremely complicated.
Ordinary people in charge cannot suppress those foundation-building monks at all.
This also makes it difficult for Ling Chengyuan to break away from family affairs and go to the outside world to hunt monsters, but occasionally he can.
According to his estimation, it will be difficult for him to escape from the position of great elder in the future.
Unless the few successors he selected who are good at handling family chores can enter the Golden Core, but those few people have low potential, and the family will not waste resources on them.
Under such circumstances, Ling Wan returned to the future and borrowed golden elixir spiritual objects from his family to attack the golden elixir. If he failed, his father, Ling Chengyuan, would be overwhelmed by a large amount of debt.
Ling Wanhui may have been influenced by his father, Ling Chengyuan. Like Ling Chengyuan, he would first think about the worst possibility for any uncertain things.
Of course, he is not just thinking. He will do everything he can to make the best of uncertainties in order to reduce the worst probability to the extreme.
Ling Wanhui did not want his father, Ling Chengyuan, to become a lifelong debtor if he failed to break through.
Therefore, he also wanted to give it a try and use his own strength to support a free golden elixir opportunity. He gritted his teeth and answered.
"Grandpa, I will take care of this matter."
Ling Wanhan agreed after seeing that Ling Wanhui, who was very thoughtful about the matter, agreed. In addition, his thoughts were actually the same as Ling Wanhui's, so he also agreed afterwards. .
"Grandpa, I am also going to Zhongzhou to cultivate the world of immortality."
After saying that, he glanced at Ling Lihao, who had the best relationship among the family, grew up together, and was extremely powerful. He was a little confused since he was not entrusted with important tasks by Ling Pengyun.
Although Ling Lihao has never unleashed his full strength, they went to the Demon Clan Realm to hunt monsters at the third level of Iron Level. They experienced several crises, but Ling Lihao stood up in times of crisis and withstood all crises.
It can be said that Ling Lihao is the strongest member of their iron triangle.
Logically speaking, if Ling Lihao joins in establishing the branch, the matter can be more secure and safer.
And it is true that Ling Wanhan and the steady Ling Wanhui are only at the third level of foundation building.
But Ling Lihao, who has the treasure to cover his aura, actually entered the middle stage of foundation construction half a year ago. He has also mastered a large number of water attribute spells, and can be regarded as a water magic cultivator. .
The Tao of Talisman is about to reach the second-level high-grade realm.
With the help of this water method and a large number of talisman methods, Ling Lihao's accurate strength is actually completely comparable to the veteran powerhouses in the late stage of foundation building.
It’s just that Ling Lihao has been hiding this matter, and only Ling Pengyun and other family members know about it.
For this reason, Ling Wanhan also asked Ling Pengyun with doubts.
"Grandpa, won't Li Hao go?"
Seeing Ling Wanhui and Ling Wanhan agree, Ling Pengyun also felt a hint of joy on his face and said with a smile.
"I didn't misjudge you. You two boys have some courage." "In the next three years, if something happens to you, deal with it as soon as possible. After three years, we will set off, and I will discuss this matter with you." The elders said, you don’t need to worry.”
“ As for Li Hao, there are still many shortcomings in Ling Zhi, one of the two arts he has studied at the same time. He still needs to study with me for a few years."
"He will not participate in this matter."
Ling Wanhan was still a little confused when he heard this, but he didn't think much about it.
On the contrary, the flexible Ling Wanhui on the side saw some suspicions.
“Although Li Hao has never revealed his true cultivation level, judging from the strength that Li Hao unleashed when we encountered crises while hunting monsters in the past few times, his cultivation level is very likely to be terrifying. It has entered the middle stage of foundation building.”
"And Li Hao is not very old, he is the same age as me and Wan Han, only around thirty or forty, a mid-stage foundation-building monk of this age..."
Thinking of this, Ling Wanhui's eyes suddenly trembled.
He also guessed something.
Then, he looked at Ling Pengyun again, thinking to himself.
"No wonder Li Hao has been taken by his grandfather to teach him since his spiritual root was detected in his early years..."
And Ling Pengyun also noticed Ling Wanhui's strange gaze. , he also immediately understood in his heart that Ling Wanhui might have guessed something.
He smiled at Ling Wanhui and thought to himself.
“This child has a delicate mind, and Cheng Yuan has cultivated a good seedling.”
"In the future, as long as things in the secret realm can be accomplished, Wan Han will follow this child to the Immortal Cultivation World in Zhongzhou under the banner of rebuilding the Baiying Sect, collect the monsters in the Baiying Secret Realm, and use the power of those monsters to create a branch. With this kid in charge of the overall situation, Wan Han will be safer."
Ling Pengyun had had the idea of setting up a branch in the Zhongzhou Immortal Realm for a long time.
It’s just that the time has not come yet, and the three major rebel demon clans in the secret realm have not yet been resolved.
It is also difficult for the family to rely on the power of the spiritual beasts in the secret realm who are still loyal to the White Shadow Sect on the surface.
Ling Pengyun does not intend to rely on the family's power to establish a branch in the Zhongzhou Immortal Cultivation World, at least he does not intend to involve the family's golden elixir.
For this reason, he also prepared Ling Wanhan, the successor of the White Shadow Sect, in advance.
The "Qian Kun Gui Yuan Bao Dian" that Ling Wanhan practiced is one of the three major sect-suppressing Nascent Soul skills of Baiying Sect. Logically speaking, Ling Wanhan is fully qualified to become the successor of this sect.
Furthermore, the right to choose the successor for this sect lies in Ling Pengyun's hands.
Even if the group of monster beasts in the secret realm don’t admit it, they have to admit it, unless those spirit beasts don’t want to leave the secret realm.
Beishan Zhenren, who discovered the White Shadow Secret Realm, had already given the entry and exit token to the White Shadow Secret Realm to Ling Pengyun.
In addition, the Zhongzhou Immortal Cultivation World is not as easy to open a branch as the Boundless Sea Immortal Cultivation World.
The world of Immortal Cultivation has not experienced much turmoil for a hundred or two hundred years. It is difficult to make war fortune and establish a branch like Ling Pengqiu, who opened a branch of the Fire Jiao Sect in the world of Immortal Cultivation in the Boundless Sea. .
The safest way is to take your time as the fake elixir monk Ling Pengshan did when he supported the Qian family on Guiling Island in his early years.
Under such circumstances, it is a waste of time for the Golden elixir monks to do this. It is better to leave this troublesome matter to the foundation-building monks under his command and use the power of the spiritual beasts in the secret realm to create a branch. .
At the same time, this matter can also be used as an experience to temper Ling Pengyun's favorite grandson Ling Wanhan, and Ling Wanhui, the son of the family elder Ling Chengyuan who has good qualifications.
If they can successfully establish a branch and take root in the Zhongzhou Immortal Cultivation World, it can be regarded as a successful experience.
They are also completely capable of acting independently and are qualified to hold some key positions in the clan.
For example, Ling Wanhui succeeded the elder Ling Chengyuan as the elder.
Ling Wanhan can also go to the Baiyun Mountains, where the family is the most prosperous, and sit in the medium-sized city "Baiyun City" on the boundary of the Baiyun Mountains with three third-order spiritual veins.
In this way, Ling Penglin, who was originally in charge there, could safely comprehend the formation.
Afterwards, Ling Pengyun told Ling Wanhan and Ling Wanhui not to spread the word about this matter, and also placed a ban on spreading rumors about the establishment of a branch in their consciousness, so he called them back first. .
In turn, Ling Lihao, the water attribute Tianlinggen monk, was left alone.
"Lihao, do you know that I won't let you participate in the establishment of a branch, but why do I let you know such secret things?"
Looking like a weak scholar. Hearing this, the handsome Ling Lihao felt a little confused in his eyes.
"Great-grandfather, my great-grandson doesn't know about this, so I would like to ask my great-grandfather for advice."
Ling Pengyun said lightly.
“The branch has always been positioned as our clan’s retreat. The more branches there are, the more our clan’s retreat will be.”
“And once those branches are actually activated, I’m afraid that we The clan has also encountered an unavoidable crisis. If you don't want this to happen, you can only continue to become stronger and become the top force in the world of immortality here. With a master, "You are in the Heavenly Spiritual Root. Now your cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation construction. You are not far from the realm of golden elixir. The peaceful life you have lived these years has also reached the end." It’s time to stop, and it’s time for you to participate in the important events of the clan.”
Ling Lihao’s body trembled when he heard this, and his body suddenly seemed to weigh ten thousand pounds.
He is now in his forties, and he understands the meaning of Ling Pengyun's words at this time.
However, he did not want to escape from this matter. His cultivation was cultivated by Ling Pengyun and his family. Even Ling Wanchuan, his father who gave birth to him, was able to enter the golden elixir in his early years because of Ling Pengyun's blessing.
With each great favor, Ling Lihao has already returned his heart to the family.
After being quiet for a while, Ling Lihao also followed suit.
“After understanding my great-grandfather, I will definitely uphold the Taoist heart and improve my cultivation as soon as possible.”
Ling Pengyun didn't say anything, but looking at Ling Lihao now, he thought of a familiar person.
More than a hundred years ago, that person was born in the Ling family, which was just a small Qi-training family. He risked his life to attack the foundation alone, and later led his family to follow the Bailingmen and the Monster Clan. Fighting, conquering a large area of territory, forcefully carrying the Ling family, who was just a small Qi-training family, into the Foundation-building family.
Since then, he and Ling Pengyun have been walking together, helping each other, entering the golden elixir together, and leading the Ling family to become stronger and stronger.
But now, the person who led the Ling clan to resist the tripod is no longer able to shoulder the burden of the Ling clan due to qualification issues... He has retreated to the second line and specializes in elixir refining.
The myth created by that man also ends here.
And that person was none other than Ling Yunhong, the current patriarch of the Ling clan.
In order to commemorate Ling Yunhong's achievements, the Ling family also opened a separate page for him in the family tree. His historical status is only lower than that of the Ling Zhu ancestor.
Even in terms of historical status alone, Ling Pengyun is still behind.
Ling Yunhong is also a person whom Ling Pengyun respects throughout his life.
Although his myth has ended, most of the elixirs practiced by the Ling family's golden elixir monks today come from Ling Yunhong's hands.
Although he has disappeared, he is still dedicating everything to the prosperity of his family.
"One generation changes after another, and the same is true for Grandpa Yun Hong. Maybe a hundred years from now, when I can no longer resist this family, it will be the time for rising stars like Li Hao to create a myth."
Ling Pengyun felt emotional.
