Lingxiao Immortal Clan

After being stunned for a while, Ling Pengyun was reminded by the elders in the team to keep up, so as not to be dispersed by the crowd.

The thirty members of the Ling family who came this time were arranged by Ling Yunhong in the shops opened by the Lingxiao Baibao Pavilion and Lingxiao Fu Pavilion.

Although there were not many rooms in these two shops, they could still barely settle down by sleeping on the floor.

As for the inns in the market, the spiritual stones required were too expensive and in short supply.

Many casual cultivators with limited financial resources slept in tents on the roadside.

This situation would not be allowed in normal times, but now that they are in the war, there are too many cultivators in the market, and there are not so many vacant inns in the market, so the Bailing Sect tacitly agreed to sleeping on the street.

After Ling Yunhong, the clan leader, settled the thirty Qi-cultivating clan members who participated in the war, he waited for three days. At noon one day, he went to a teahouse and met with the foundation-building cultivators from the other four foundation-building families in Huaishui County. Together, they went to Huaishui Prefecture, which was in charge of the affairs of the market.

Huaishui Prefecture was established by Bailingmen. On weekdays, the disciples of Bailingmen in Huaishui Prefecture were specifically in charge of the affairs of the market.

In this time of war preparation, Huaishui Prefecture was listed as a temporary strategic deployment place by Bailingmen.

The dozens of foundation-building families in the ten county cities of Ning and Jing under Bailingmen must gather in groups of counties before they can go to Huaishui Prefecture to receive the tasks in the war to destroy monsters.

There are rewards for completing the tasks.

If they fail to complete the tasks, Bailingmen will take back the spiritual veins of each family as punishment.

If they resist the task, they will directly destroy the monster.

The five foundation-building families in Huaishui County had already agreed with each other that they did not intend to participate in the front-line battles, so they received a relatively simple task.

This mission is to capture a second-level medium-quality spiritual vein occupied by four foundation-building stone armored apes and more than 700 Qi-training stone armored apes 5,000 miles away between May 1 and May 5.

After seizing this spiritual vein, the spiritual vein will belong to Bailing Sect, and the five major families will act as thugs.

If the mission is completed within the specified time, the five major families will each receive 1,000 sect contribution points. If the mission fails, each family will lose the ownership of a first-level high-quality spiritual vein in the territory.

For this mission, the five families of Huaishui County are also relatively confident, otherwise they would not have chosen this mission.

As the day of the expedition is getting closer, more and more cultivators are pouring into Huaishui Market.

Because of the upcoming war, most cultivators with some extra money will buy a few spiritual objects.

This also makes the business of the shops selling spiritual objects in the market much better, especially the three spiritual objects of elixir, spiritual talisman, and magic weapon, which are selling very hot.

The three popular spiritual objects were sold in the Talisman Pavilion and the Treasure Pavilion opened by the Ling family. Because of their good quality, the influx of many cultivators into the market also made the Ling family rich.

In order to earn more spiritual stones by selling spiritual objects on the eve of the war to destroy the monsters and during the process of destroying the monsters, the Ling family sent the family's first-class middle-grade alchemist, the tenth Ling Yun'an of the Yun generation, and the weapon refiner Ling Yun'an to the Huaishui market early on.

Together with the first-class top-grade talisman maker and the third elder of the family, Ling Yunfeng, who has been stationed in the Huaishui market for many years, they refined the three spiritual objects of elixir, magic tools, and spiritual talismans to fill the two stores opened by the family in the market.

In order to provide these three money-making machines with a quiet environment, Ling Yunhong also specially rented a spacious and quiet quiet room for them in an inn called "Anju" in the market to refine spiritual objects.

The clan leader Ling Yunhong, considering that Ling Pengyun, the weapon refiner that the clan focused on cultivating, had never been taught to refine weapons for a long time, sent Ling Pengyun to Ling Yunan, a first-level middle-grade weapon refiner, to observe the weapon refinement a few days ago.

As for why the clan did not allow Ling Pengyun to refine weapons during the period of exterminating monsters, it was also very simple. The clan had a lot of first-level low-grade magic weapons in stock. The green bamboo swords that Ling Pengyun refined in the past few years have not sold many in recent years.

After all, first-level low-grade magic weapons are only the lowest-level magic weapons, so it is normal that the sales are not good.

Only first-level low-grade defense magic weapons have better sales, and even many poor Qi training mid-stage casual cultivators will buy them.

But Ling Peng's success rate in refining the round iron shield is not high, only 40%, barely enough to make a profit.

Under such circumstances, it is better to send Ling Pengyun, a rare late-stage Qi training cultivator in the family, to join the battle of exterminating monsters instead of letting him stay in the market to refine weapons.

It can enhance the strength of the family team in the war against demons, and also increase Ling Pengyun's combat experience and training.

In the Anju Inn, in a large quiet room.

Ling Pengyun held his breath tightly, staring at the process of a red-faced, white-haired old man beside him using a red refining furnace to refine a magic weapon, not daring to miss any details.

About half an incense stick of time, the red-faced old man quickly pinched a finger gesture and groaned.

"Condensation!"

Then, a spiritual power fluctuation suddenly appeared in the red refining furnace.

The next moment, the red-faced old man waved his arm, performed the object control technique, lifted the furnace cover, and took out a round magic shield with extremely shining spiritual patterns and a blue body from the refining furnace.

"Hahaha, a first-grade, top-quality Xuanshui shield."

As soon as the red-faced old man took out the blue magic shield, he laughed and opened his mouth.

Ling Pengyun, who was standing by, looked slightly moved after hearing what the red-faced old man said to himself. He looked at the newly-made magic shield and was startled by the abnormal flashing of the spiritual patterns on the magic shield.

Then, he also showed a hint of joy on his face and bowed to the red-faced old man beside him.

"Congratulations to the Eighth Patriarch for refining a first-class high-quality Xuanshui Shield of this quality. In ten days, the Eighth Patriarch will definitely become the second first-class high-grade weapon refiner since the founding of our Ling clan."

The red-faced old man was named "Ling Yunan", ranked eighth among the Yunzi generation, and was the first first-level middle-grade weapon refiner since the founding of the Ling clan.

As for the title of the first first-level high-grade weapon refiner since Ling's establishment, he was snatched away by Ling Yunhong, who had reached the foundation-building stage and had strong spiritual consciousness.

Now, Ling Pengyun's congratulatory remarks are also based on common sense of weapon refining.

A high-quality first-class magical weapon can only be made with extremely high attainments and a bit of luck when refining a magical weapon.

After hearing Ling Pengyun's congratulations, Ling Yunan felt very happy in his heart and the smile on his face became a little brighter. He was so happy that he waved and handed the high-quality Xuanshui Shield just out of the oven to Ling Pengyun and said with a smile. "Hahaha, I like to hear what you kid has to say. This is the first time I refined the high-quality Xuanshui Shield as a gift to you."

When Ling Pengyun saw Ling Yunan's offer of the shield, although he longed for the high-quality first-class Xuanshui Shield, he did not dare to accept it.
