Lingxiao Immortal Clan

As they were about to leave, the three of them didn't want to be busy with other things, so they sat together and chatted.

It wasn't until noon that the three of them stopped and started to prepare lunch.

Although the lunch dishes were delicious, the three of them didn't have much appetite.

After finishing their business in a hurry, the three of them simply said goodbye, and Ling Xiaoshun and his wife flew away from Lingyun Mountain with their flying instruments.

After watching his parents leave, Ling Pengyun continued to practice hard according to the schedule he had planned.

…

Tens of thousands of miles away, Lingxiao Mountain.

In a quiet room in a courtyard halfway up the mountain, a fair-looking young man was closing his eyes, and his breath was rising and falling regularly.

After a while, red and yellow light spots gradually appeared around the young man.

These two colors of light spots were fire spirit and earth spirit.

"Break!" The young man with his eyes closed frowned and groaned.

He operated the technique, pulling the red and yellow light spots around him into his body.

As time went by, the fair-skinned young man absorbed more and more spiritual energy.

The meridians in his body were also stretched and swollen, and the pain in the meridians made the young man very uncomfortable, and a look of pain gradually appeared on his face.

However, even so, he still did not stop absorbing the fire and earth spiritual energy, but gritted his teeth and persisted.

Just when his body reached a limit, a sound of breaking sounded in his body.

"Crack."

The next moment, the spiritual energy blocked in his meridians also immediately flowed into the dantian position in the abdomen.

And his body was like a vortex at this time, frantically gathering the surrounding fire spiritual energy and earth spiritual energy into the body to nourish this mortal body.

This strange thing made the fair-skinned young man's frown fall, and his face was no longer painful, but showed a bit of joy.

About half an hour later, the strange phenomenon on the fair-skinned young man stopped, and he opened his eyes and said happily.

"Finally I have broken through from the innate state to the Qi training state."

Then, he stood up, pushed open the door of the quiet room, and walked out of the quiet room.

"Brother Qiu, are you really a four-spiritual root? You have only been in the Tao for a year, but you have already crossed the first perfection of the nine innate realms and entered the Qi training state, which is one year faster than me with three spiritual roots."

A sturdy young man who had been waiting outside the quiet room for a long time exclaimed in amazement when he felt the Qi training aura emanating from the fair-skinned young man who walked out of the quiet room, as well as the spiritual energy that occasionally flowed out of his body.

The fair-skinned young man's pupils trembled slightly when he heard this, but soon returned to normal and joked. "That's because I have a very good understanding. Think about the starling who tested our spiritual roots, led us to the immortal path, and gave us a large amount of spiritual stones. He only has five spiritual roots, but now he is over 20 years old and has reached the seventh level of Qi training. Isn't it relying on understanding."

"Yes, compared with the starling, your situation is indeed normal." The sturdy boy agreed, and the doubts in his heart disappeared like smoke.

The "starling" mentioned by the sturdy and fair boy is Ling Pengyun, the eighth of the Ling family's Peng generation, and these two boys are the two children whose spiritual roots were tested in Qingshi Village when Ling Pengyun was stationed in Qingshi Mountain.

The sturdy boy is named Ling Pengshan, ranking 23rd in the Peng generation. His spiritual roots were tested in the second year of Ling Pengyun's stationing in Qingshi Mountain.

He has three spiritual roots. He has been in Taoism for four years. He has been practicing Qi for two years. With good aptitude and the spiritual stones given by Ling Pengyun, he has now reached the bottleneck of the second level of Qi training. It will not take long for him to enter the third level of Qi training.

The fair-skinned boy is named Ling Pengqiu. He ranks 27th in the Peng generation. His spiritual roots were detected during the last period of Ling Pengyun stationed in Qingshi Mountain in January last year.

He has two spiritual roots of fire and earth. Because there are too many talented people in the younger generation of the Peng family, the family leaders are afraid that other families in Huaishui County will take action against the younger generation of the family, so they let Ling Pengqiu, who has two spiritual roots, only declare that he has four spiritual roots.

He has been in Taoism for just over a year and a few days. It took him one year to go from innate to practicing Qi.

Ling Pengshan and Ling Pengqiu were playmates in Qingshi Village before they entered Taoism because they were of similar age. After they entered Taoism, they became closer in Lingxiao Mountain, a place where they were unfamiliar with, because they were the only two cultivators who came out of Qingshi Village, which had just been established. They lived in the same courtyard on weekdays, just like brothers.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's have the New Year's Eve dinner first. I have waited for you for three days to prepare this New Year's Eve dinner for you. However, the taste of these dishes may not be so good. I will heat up these dishes every time after the New Year's Eve dinner, so that you can eat them immediately after you come out of retreat. If you count them this way, I have eaten these dishes nine times. Brother Qiu, you are not allowed to dislike them." Ling Pengshan greeted with a smile.

Because Ling Pengqiu had been in retreat for half a month and there was no exact time for him to come out of retreat, it was meaningless for him to have the New Year's Eve dinner by himself, so he kept waiting.

Hearing this, Ling Pengqiu felt warm in his heart. "Brother Shan, you are too kind."

After answering, Ling Pengqiu followed Ling Pengshan to the dining table and ate together.

Although the dishes didn't taste very good, the two young men still ate them all up.

Both of them were born in the mortal world, and the habit of not wasting food has been engraved in their bones.

The two cleaned up the mess together and chatted for a while before parting ways and returning to their own quiet rooms one after another.

Ling Pengqiu sat cross-legged in his own quiet room, looking at the peace blessing in his hand that his parents gave him when they parted, he couldn't help but miss his parents who were mortals and in Qingshi Mountain.

"I have to practice harder, otherwise I don't know how many years it will take to reach the middle stage of Qi training." Ling Pengqiu muttered to himself.

The Ling family has a clan rule that only when the clan members reach the middle stage of Qi training can they go out of the mountain. Otherwise, even if the clan members who were born in the mortal world want to go out of the clan mountain to visit their relatives, they are not allowed.

This move is mainly for the safety of the clan members. The cultivators who have entered the middle stage of Qi training are the weakest among the cultivators in Anyang County, and they may encounter danger when they go out.

...

At the end of January.

Not long after the Spring Festival, there is still a hint of the New Year in Lingxiao Mountain.

The elderly, women and children in the clan visited each other one after another to wish their relatives a happy New Year.

This move can be regarded as a custom since the establishment of the Ling family.

The bustle in the mountains made the back mountain of Lingxiao Mountain seem particularly quiet.

That night, the Fairy Crane King, who had been taking Bailing Water for nearly two months and had been motionless, suddenly burst into a powerful spiritual power fluctuation, attracting all the free spiritual energy in the entire Lingxiao Mountain and absorbing it into his body.

Ling Yunhong, who had been sitting cross-legged in the back mountain to protect the Fairy Crane King, noticed the movement outside and immediately opened his eyes. He looked up at the nest of the Fairy Crane King on the cliff not far away, and his eyes were excited.

"Spiritual energy fills the body!"

"It seems that the fairy has transformed the inner elixir, otherwise it would be difficult to induce the phenomenon of spiritual energy filling the body."

"According to the fairy's physique, it should not be a big problem to withstand this spiritual energy filling the body."

Although Ling Yunhong thought so, he was extremely nervous inside.

This spiritual energy infusion is the last step of foundation building. If successful, the Immortal Crane King will also transform and enter the foundation building stage. However, if it fails, the meridians in the body will be broken by the large amount of spiritual energy absorbed into the body, and the inner elixir will be shattered by the spiritual energy.

This back mountain caused the abnormal movement of the entire Lingxiao Mountain, and also attracted the attention of all the Ling clan members in Lingxiao Mountain.

In a large courtyard with the richest spiritual energy on the hillside, Ling clan elder Ling Ruda looked at the back mountain with excitement.

"Such a strange phenomenon must be caused by the spiritual energy infusion of the Immortal Crane King who took Bailing Water when building the foundation. I hope that the Immortal Crane King can successfully enter the foundation building stage this time."

"In this way, the Ling family, whose foundation is weak, will have one more to rely on."

The rest of the Ling clan members in Lingxiao Mountain had heard early that the clan leader Ling Yunhong was buying Bailing Water for the Immortal Crane King of the family. That's why he chose to go deep into the Jiaomanghu territory to hunt monsters after Bailingmen occupied the ten thousand miles of land in Bingjiao County.

In addition, there was no movement at ordinary times, only the back mountain where the fairy cranes lived, but now such a strange phenomenon occurred. It was not difficult for the Ling clan members to guess that this was related to the foundation building of the fairy crane king.

As a member of the Ling clan, no one wanted the fairy crane king to build a foundation, and these clan members also prayed that the fairy crane king could successfully build a foundation.

Three days later, the strange phenomenon in the back mountain of Lingxiao stopped.

The fairy crane king, who had been in a deep sleep for nearly two months, also opened his eyes the next moment, and a foundation-building pressure surged from his body.

Ling Yunhong, who had been guarding the fairy crane king's cliff nest, noticed this and looked overjoyed.

"Success."

"Two foundation-building protectors will make our clan prosperous."

While Ling Yunhong was happy, the fairy crane king who successfully entered the foundation-building stage also flew out of the nest at this moment and landed beside Ling Yunhong, who had been guarding it for many days, and called to Ling Yunhong with a grateful look.

Through the master recognition restriction, Ling Yunhong also knew the meaning of the crane's words.

Ling Yunhong smiled, stretched out his hand and patted the body of the Fairy Crane King, whispering.

"Protect our clan well in the future."

Hearing this, the Fairy Crane King nodded lightly with a firm look, indicating that he understood.

On the same day, several tables of delicious food were set up in Lingxiao Mountain, and the whole clan celebrated together.

As for the fact that the Fairy Crane King had broken through the foundation, the top leaders of the Ling family did not publicize it nor prevent it from being spread.

Anyway, the Ling family is not the first family in Huaishui County to have a foundation-building spirit beast.

Moreover, the patriarch of the Ling family is in his prime and is powerful, so he is not afraid of outsiders being afraid of the Ling family.
