Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

"Since our family already has three fourth-level spiritual places, namely Lingxiao Mountain, the mountain for retirement, Ice and Snow Valley, and Jinchi Mountain, the mountain on the border, we have already accumulated a deep foundation for the Nascent Soul stage, so we are not particularly short of resources for cultivation."

"Even because I also practice alchemy, I refined high-level elixirs for the family in my early years, and I also have a lot of quasi-fourth-level cultivation elixirs in my hands."

"Under these circumstances, I don't lack the resources for cultivation, and my aptitude is good. I just need to practice diligently step by step, and my cultivation will surely continue to improve."

“But there are many Nascent Soul cultivators in the family, and even a large number of Nascent Soul spirits and spirit beasts. Unless I can enter the Nascent Soul Perfection realm in an instant, my existence will only serve as a deterrent to other forces in the family, and will not have much effect.”

"On the contrary, if I can make further progress in my alchemy skills, the entire family will probably benefit."

"For this reason, from now on, my focus will be on alchemy."

The old patriarch Ling Yunhong thought about it carefully.

Not only does he have extremely high aptitude in cultivation, but he also has extraordinary attainments in the way of alchemy.

Even after he obtained Ling Pengyun's primordial essence, he had an epiphany and, based on his own situation and his family's fourth-level alchemy inheritance, he created a method of refining water pills that was particularly suitable for himself.

And with the accumulation of time, he has perfected it to the fourth level not long ago.

Through this, he also touched upon the fourth level of alchemy and was barely able to refine fourth level pills.

But the probability is not high.

Even if he was good at refining a few kinds of elixirs, his success rate was only 10% to 20%, so he still had a long way to go.

The old clan leader Ling Yunhong immediately began to meditate on the art of water alchemy.

And perhaps because his cultivation had entered the Nascent Soul stage, and he had built a solid and superior foundation before breaking through the realm, his progress in alchemy was much faster.

"According to my current progress in comprehending the Dao of Alchemy, it may not take a few years for my success rate in refining the fourth-level Ju Yuan Dan and other elixirs I am good at to increase to 30%."

"By then, I can be considered a qualified fourth-level alchemist and earn money by refining this kind of elixir, instead of just barely making back my investment like I am now..."

The old clan leader Ling Yunhong felt the progress of his alchemy, and his brows were filled with joy.

……

Ling Pengcheng, the family's Nascent Soul who had been chatting with the old patriarch Ling Yunhong earlier, ordered the cultivators of several surrounding sacred mountains to get back on track, and then returned to the mountain with the group of clansmen who had been summoned from Lingxiao Mountain, the mountain for retirement.

His fellow Taoists and descendants were also among the crowd.

quite a while.

When their family climbed to the top of Lingxiao Mountain and were about to enter the cave, his virtuous wife "Liu Qin" pondered for a while, looked at the children beside her, and asked her husband Ling Pengcheng.

"My husband, this time the ancestor successfully broke through the realm, which is a great joy. Previously, you were the only one who went to congratulate him, and Ting'er and the others didn't. This is more or less not good. Is the ancestor free now?"

Ling Pengcheng smiled when he heard this.

Madam, you don't need to think so much, the ancestor won't care about it."

"However, the ancestor has just broken through and needs time to retreat. It would be inappropriate to disturb him now. After he comes out of retreat, I will take you to greet him."

"It just so happens that we also have time to prepare gifts."

The breakthrough of the old patriarch Ling Yunhong was so sudden that they did not have time to prepare anything good.

Upon hearing this, his wife Liu Qin nodded and said gently.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Seeing his wife being so well-behaved, Ling Pengcheng couldn't help but smile a little more.

Although his wife was born in a common family, she came from a scholarly family and had been baptized by poetry and books since childhood. She was a qualified and virtuous wife.

More than 20 years later, his wife, who had no spiritual roots but possessed a hidden ice soul spirit, fully awakened her spirit with his help and embarked on the path of cultivation.

Moreover, because the spiritual body brought a strong increase in qualifications, and his wife cherished this hard-earned path very much, his wife was particularly hardworking.

Now he has entered the middle stage of foundation building.

In addition, the ice soul spirit body that Liu Qin possessed was not an ordinary spirit body, but a spirit body related to the soul. Even her soul was transformed into a powerful ice soul soul, which was extremely tough, because of the existence of the spirit body.

Ordinary spiritual attack methods cannot hurt her soul at all.

Moreover, she has a unique advantage in cultivating the method of spiritual consciousness.

The Ling family has a strong foundation at present, so she practiced many powerful soul secrets.

Not only did he cultivate the method of practicing the soul, but he also raised the strength of his soul to a level comparable to the perfection of the foundation building.

He also practiced several methods of attacking the soul. If a cultivator who had completed the foundation building stage encountered him, he would probably be hit.

In this way, even if she is placed in the Ling family, she is considered an outstanding existence and has a bright future.

However, this is not enough for Ling Pengcheng, a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The life span of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is no more than two to three hundred years, while a Nascent Soul cultivator like him has at least a limited life span.

Ling Pengcheng doesn't want his Taoist partner to die of old age in another one or two hundred years.

He then said to his wife Liu Qin.

"Madam, you should continue to retreat and enter the late stage of foundation building as soon as possible..."

Liu Qin knew what Ling Pengcheng was thinking, and she also had the same intention, so she nodded obediently and went straight into seclusion.

Afterwards, Ling Pengcheng supervised his descendants who had spiritual roots and started practicing. Only then did he feel relieved.

He and his wife Liu Qin both love children very much, and have given birth to several children over the years.

Perhaps because he had a high level of cultivation and his wife Liu Qin had a spiritual body, most of his descendants had spiritual roots, but their qualifications varied.

But the palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh, so he kept them by his side and cultivated them carefully.

And those descendants have also worked hard and now have reached the middle stage of Qi training or above.

"After some time, when they have all entered the late stage of Qi training, it will be time to send them out to the outside world to earn spirit stones for their own training."

"Otherwise, if you continue to be under my care, I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve anything great in the future."

“However, all of these brothers and sisters of the same bloodline have spiritual roots, so it will be safer for them to venture out into the outside world in the future… and this is also their advantage!”

Ling Pengcheng looked at the children who were practicing and smiled.

Then he entered into seclusion.

He stayed in the early stage of Nascent Soul for dozens or even hundreds of years.

But after a long period of accumulation and the accumulation of many resources, he had already reached the bottleneck of his cultivation.

It may take decades at most or ten years at least for him to break through.

“The middle stage of Nascent Soul… is really difficult, but I really want to see the scenery of that realm!”

……

It is next to Lingxiao Mountain, a mountain for retirement.

A quasi-fourth-level Phantom Fire Spirit Mountain.

The top of a cliff.

The young genius of the family, Ling Qingmeng, who possessed the body of flames, stood here, looking at the cave of the old patriarch Ling Yunhong in Lingxiao Mountain, with a look of longing in his brows. "I don't know if I can reach the level of ancestor Yunhong one day."

After she discovered that she had extraordinary talent, she began to practice with the old patriarch Ling Yunhong.

The old clan leader Ling Yunhong particularly liked the girl's personality, so he often taught her step by step...

Gradually, Ling Qingmeng not only did not become proud because of his extraordinary talents, but instead developed a firm heart to seek the truth.

It is for both strength and to contribute one's own strength to the family.

Her family has unconditionally supported her in her monastic life for many years, and she feels so unworthy and grateful...

The family is strong now, and they have no shortage of foundation-building cultivators like her, or even Golden Core cultivators, but they lack Nascent Soul cultivators.

For this reason, Nascent Soul became her ultimate pursuit.

As for the higher realm, it is too vague!

With a lot of thoughts in his mind, Ling Qingmeng jumped into the extremely hot lava in front of him with a firm heart to seek the truth, absorbing the essence of the world's fire and devoting himself to practicing Taoism.

……

the other side.

Among the three major immortal sects in the Northern Wilderness’ immortal cultivation world.

Deep within the Tianfu Immortal Sect.

Inside a cave.

A middle-aged monk with a slightly bookish air was sitting cross-legged here meditating.

And if there were someone with good eyesight here, he would be shocked when he saw this person.

This is because this cultivator is a well-known cultivator in the entire Northern Wilderness cultivation world.

He is Tianfu Zhenjun, the leader of Tianfu Immortal Sect.

Although his cultivation level could not be compared with that of the Haiyun Sect's Haiyun Sect's Master, he was not weaker by any means and was a veteran mid-Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse.

And like the leader of Haiyun Sect, he was born in an extraordinary family. He came from the Four Immortal Alliance, a force in the Zhongzhou Immortal Cultivation World. He came here just to help the Four Immortal Alliance better control the affiliated force, the Tianfu Immortal Sect...

But not long after, another Nascent Soul cultivator from the Tianfu Immortal Sect came up anxiously and told him about how the Ling family and the Haiyun Immortal Sect had completely transformed that quasi-fifth-level magic vein into a spiritual vein, and how the old patriarch of the Ling family had entered the Nascent Soul stage.

Tianfu Zhenjun's expression changed slightly.

Although he had guessed this outcome long ago, now that the facts were before him, he found it difficult to accept and even felt a little envious.

'From now on, the Ling family and Haiyun Immortal Sect will probably rise to a higher level. The Ling family, which has obtained many magic veins, will probably become even stronger in the future.'

"If this continues, perhaps within a thousand years, it will be difficult for our sect to continue to sit firmly on the top of the righteous forces in the Northern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World as it has in the past."

"By then, our sect will not be able to influence the development of the righteous path in this world of immortal cultivation, and some of the bigger benefits will probably be out of reach for our sect..."

"And now this clan has one more Nascent Soul, and its strength will be even stronger. Comparatively, I'm afraid my clan will be left far behind..."

Although the Tianfu Immortal Sect has a strong foundation, it currently has only five Nascent Souls, which is far inferior to the Ling family.

Although he was not a disciple trained by the Tianfu Immortal Sect since childhood, he has been in this sect for hundreds of years and has developed feelings for this sect, just like his own child. How could he be willing to see his extremely powerful child only able to live under other forces in the future?
But he couldn't change it. Even if the powerful Four Immortals Alliance, the powerful force behind him, was so close to him, they probably couldn't change it.

This is because behind the Ling family and the Haiyun Immortal Sect is the Xinghai Pavilion, which is at its peak.

Moreover, Ling Pengyun of the Ling family is also extremely powerful. It is said that Ling Pengyun has the strength to fight against powerful gods...

In the end, all thoughts turned into a sigh.

Tianfu Zhenjun seemed to have aged dozens of years, and his spirit and energy were not weakened at all. Then he spoke to the sect's Nascent Soul in front of him.

"Go to the sect's storehouse and prepare a good gift. I will go to congratulate the Ling family and the Haiyun Immortal Sect, and by the way... deepen their relationship. If our Tianfu Immortal Sect still wants to develop peacefully in this world of immortal cultivation in the future, I'm afraid we will have to rely on those two forces."

The other Nascent Soul heard this and said in a gloomy tone.

"Master, can this matter not be changed?"

Tian Fu Zhenjun smiled bitterly.

"This time, in order to make their territories intersect and establish a closer connection, the Ling family and the Haiyun Immortal Sect did not hesitate to place the precious quasi-fifth-level magic vein directly in the Scarlet Gold Bear territory, and then refined it into a spirit vein... During this period, it took a lot of time, and the Black Dragon Lake clan could not have been unaware of it."

"But the Black Dragon Lake Clan did not make any movement, which is enough to show that even the Black Dragon Lake Clan does not dare to go against the Ling family and the Haiyun Immortal Sect."

"What's more, we are just a small Tianfu Immortal Sect."

The other Nascent Soul left this place slowly with some reluctance and went to prepare gifts.

This situation also happened in another immortal sect, the Hanyue Immortal Palace, and even in other Nascent Soul forces that were more well-informed.

……

Just half a month passed.

The rest of the Nascent Soul forces in the entire Northern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World gathered at the foot of Linghai Mountain, the new border shared by the Ling family and the Haiyun Immortal Sect, and expressed their blessings and presented some nice gifts to show their stance.

This also made the Ling family's Nascent Soul stationed in the mountains and the Nascent Soul of the Haiyun Immortal Sect extremely satisfied.

Then they began to warmly entertain the guests.

afterwards.

After the Ling family's Nascent Soul and the Haiyun Immortal Sect's Nascent Soul sent off the visitors, they each went their separate ways.

As for the Nascent Soul of Xinghai Pavilion in the mountains, it did not show up.

And now.

There are a total of six Nascent Souls in charge of Linghai Mountain.

Ling Pengyun of the Ling family has children Ling Chengxia and her husband Ling Chengxin, a fourth-level spiritual plant.

There are two each from Haiyun Immortal Sect and Xinghai Pavilion.

Most of them are here to take care of the spiritual plants in the mountains, and only secondly to keep this place safe.

at the same time.

The top of this mountain.

In that four-acre quasi-fifth-level spiritual field area.

Ling Chengxin, the fourth-level spiritual plant husband of the Ling family, is carefully taking care of the family's two acres of quasi-fifth-level spiritual fields.

Not long ago, she got a batch of quasi-fifth-level Juyuan grass seeds with good potential from Xinghai Pavilion and planted them in it.

In just a few days, the seeds sprouted...

'The pure spiritual energy contained in this quasi-fifth-level spiritual field is quite beneficial to the growth of spiritual plants. It is estimated that this spiritual field can at least increase the growth rate of first-level, second-level, and third-level spiritual plants by dozens of times.'

"And my spiritual plant attainments are pretty good. I estimate that within a hundred years, these two acres of newly sprouted Juyuan grass seedlings will be able to enter the fourth level."

Ling Chengxin looked at the two acres of Juyuan grass seedlings that were gradually sprouting in front of her, her brows full of anticipation.

Under normal circumstances, if these seeds grow normally, it will take at least a thousand years to reach the fourth level. (End of this chapter)
