Lingxiao Immortal Clan

Time passed slowly, and two years passed quickly.

During these two years, the entire Bailingmen territory and even the entire Yan State were all saying that Lingxiao Lingshi had a very young genius in the field of spiritual plants, who had improved a kind of spiritual rice called Qiuyun spiritual rice.

Due to this situation, many foundation-building families that did not have improved spiritual rice and could only grow ordinary spiritual rice, and had not received the news that the Qiuyun Secret Method would be auctioned two years ago, all sent people to visit Lingyun Mountain where Ling Pengyun was stationed, expressing their desire to buy the Qiuyun Secret Method that could stably improve Qiuyun spiritual rice.

However, because Ling Yunhong, the head of the Ling family, had already made an agreement on behalf of the entire Ling family and the "Huangyan Guo Family" in Jiaozhou, which bought the Qiuyun Secret Method two years ago, that the Qiuyun Secret Method would not be leaked again, they sternly rejected those who were interested in buying the Qiuyun Secret Method.

After all, if there was no agreement with the Guo family at that time, the Qiuyun Secret Method would not be leaked, and the price of the Qiuyun Secret Method would not be so high. Scarcity makes things valuable. If everyone had the Qiuyun Secret Method, it would be everywhere.

As for why those who were interested in buying the Qiuyun Secret Method only visited and asked for the intention to buy the Qiuyun Secret Method, instead of breaking through Lingyun Mountain and capturing Ling Pengyun alive, it was because these foundation-building clans were worried about Ling Yunhong, a mid-stage foundation-building cultivator who was stationed in Lingyun Mountain.

Although Ling Yunhong was only in the mid-stage of foundation-building, the improved spiritual rice was also magnified to the entire Yan State, and it was not a particularly rare item. Generally, old-fashioned foundation-building families had one or more "good-quality, excellent-quality" improved spiritual rice.

Only those families with poor foundation or newly established foundation-building families would not have improved spiritual rice.

How could the foundation-building cultivators in such poor foundation and newly established foundation-building families have high cultivation? It would be good to ensure that there is always a foundation-building cultivator in the family.

How could such a powerful family dare to provoke Ling Yunhong, the patriarch of the Lingxiao Ling family, who was extraordinary and had the support of the old-fashioned family of Pingyun Yang, for the "good-quality" Qiuyun spiritual rice?

Apart from this, everything in Lingyun Mountain was the same as before, and no major changes had occurred.

Ling Pengyun, who was stationed in this mountain, also remembered Ling Yunhong's warning not to leave the mountain at will, in order to prevent being captured alive by those with ulterior motives and forced to ask about the secret method of Qiuyun.

Under such circumstances, Ling Pengyun would go to Yunshui Market with Ling Yunhong, who was also stationed in Lingyun Mountain, every Spring Festival to celebrate the Spring Festival with his parents.

He had never left Lingyun Mountain in the past two years and had been practicing hard in the mountain.

However, this day-long hard practice also brought Ling Pengyun huge rewards in terms of cultivation, spiritual planting, and refining.

In terms of cultivation.

During these two years, Ling Pengyun spent spirit stones to buy many first-level medium and high-quality spirit fruits to help him purify about 40% of the spiritual power in his dantian to the limit.

As long as he purified the remaining 60% of the spiritual power in his dantian, he could enter the perfection of Qi training and try to break through the foundation.

Ling Pengyun already had a very high talent in the field of spiritual plants.

In addition, two years ago, Ling Pengyun spent most of his time comprehending the "Ling Xiao Ripening Technique", and he had Ling Yunhong, a second-level spiritual plant husband, to ask questions every day.

Under the influence of these three factors, such as hard work, good talent, and Ling Yunhong's teaching, he comprehended the Ling Xiao Ripening Technique to the third level in just half a year.

After the Ling Xiao Ripening Technique entered the third level, Ling Pengyun's life spiritual plant, the thorny vine, had already reached the late stage of Qi training. His understanding of the spiritual plant was naturally rapidly improved and entered the first-level upper-grade realm.

Relying on the improvement of the spiritual plant grade, the bonus of his spiritual plant secret method on the spiritual plant was also stronger. The spiritual plants in Lingyun Mountain were also under Ling Pengyun's care, and their growth was better than in the past few years.

In terms of refining equipment.

With the help of the batch of 1,250 Qingling Sword materials entrusted by the clan two years ago, Ling Pengyun's success rate in refining this magic weapon has reached an extremely high level. It is difficult to fail once in ten times, and the success rate can basically be determined to be more than 90%.

And in ten times of refining a first-level lower-grade Qingling Sword, you can definitely refine a superior first-level lower-grade Qingling Sword.

It is precisely because of his extremely high success rate in refining a first-level lower-grade Qingling Sword that Ling Pengyun used the 50 first-level middle-grade Qingling Sword materials that the family supported for free two years ago to increase the success rate of refining a first-level middle-grade Qingling Sword to 40%.

As for the refining of the two magic weapons of the first-level middle-grade Golden Scale Inner Armor and Xuanshui Shield that Ling Pengyun also involved, although he did not have a strong foundation for refining the first-level lower-grade Qingling Sword like refining the first-level middle-grade Qingling Sword.

However, in order to improve the success rate of refining these two magic tools, Ling Pengyun was also very willing to invest more than a thousand spiritual stones to buy the spiritual materials for these two magic tools.

Relying on the spiritual materials purchased and the spiritual materials funded by the family two years ago, Ling Pengyun's success rate in refining these two magic tools reached 30%.

January 1.

This day is the first day of the year, and it is also the big day for children over eight years old in Lingyun Town to test their spiritual roots.

As soon as the sky was light, many parents brought their children to the "Ling's Ancestral Hall" next to the City Lord's Mansion in the central area of ​​Lingyun Town, waiting for the arrival of the immortal.

Because there were too many people gathered in the ancestral hall to go out, Ling Yu, the city lord of Lingyun Town, summoned hundreds of guards in Lingyun Town to guard around the ancestral hall to maintain order in order to avoid conflicts during the upcoming spiritual testing conference.

Two miles away, in Lingyun Mountain.

Ling Pengyun, who had just woken up from practice, absorbed the power of the First Sun, watered the spiritual plants in the mountain with spiritual rain, said hello to Ling Yunhong, who had been refining alchemy in seclusion on the second floor of the bamboo building, and then left the bamboo building. , wielding the first-order high-grade magic weapon "Speed-Traveling Eagle" purchased in Yunshuifang City in the early years and flew out of Lingyun Mountain.

After a while, Ling Pengyun flew over Lingyun Town.

He looked at the dark crowd outside the ancestral hall, frowned, and said helplessly.

"I don't know if I can detect a person with spiritual roots in the last spirit testing conference held in this small town of Lingyun."

Ling Pengyun's five-year period of garrisoning Lingyun Mountain has come to an end. He can escape and return to his family only when someone from the clan takes over to garrison Lingyun Mountain.

During the five years he was stationed in Lingyun Mountain, he hosted a total of four spirit testing conferences and tested the spiritual roots of five to six thousand children, but none of them had spiritual roots.

Today is the fifth spirit testing conference. Since he has not presided over it yet, it is not included in it.

Ling Pengyun was just dazed in the sky for a moment before he was spotted by many sharp-eyed mortals gathered outside the ancestral hall of Lingyun Town.

For a moment, envious eyes were cast on Ling Pengyun, who was flying the magic weapon in the sky.

In the sky, Ling Pengyun, who had come back to his senses, saw that many mortals in Lingyun Town were looking at him, but he didn't pay much attention.

He was minding his own business and controlled the speeding eagle with his feet to fall down to the "Ling Family Ancestral Hall" next to the City Lord's Mansion in the central area of ​​Lingyun Town.

As soon as he landed outside the door of the ancestral hall, he pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and stepped in.

Inside the ancestral hall, there was only Ling Yu, the lord of Lingyun Town.

When Ling Yu saw Ling Pengyun's arrival, the sadness between his brows immediately dissipated.

"Peng Yun." Although Ling Yu called Ling Pengyun's name in an elder's tone, he still made many body movements and bowed to the immortal Ling Pengyun.

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun felt quite satisfied and replied.

"Uncle Yu."

One of them is a mortal, the other is a monk, and they have nothing in common. The only thing that connects them is that Ling Yu's mother is Ling Yunxi, the fifth elder of the Ling family, and her daughter is Ling Penglin.

Under such circumstances, the experienced Ling Yu also knew the answer.

"Peng Yun, since you have arrived, I will go to maintain order outside the ancestral hall. When the time comes, I will let the children enter this place."

After leaving these words, Ling Yu stepped out of the ancestral hall and closed the door of the ancestral hall.

Ling Pengyun, who was staying in the ancestral hall, was sitting on a specially designed armchair in the center of the ancestral hall.

There is also a small table placed in front of the armchair.

Ling Pengyun sat on the chair and waited for a moment before hearing Ling Yu's familiar voice from the outside.

"The time has come. Children enter the ancestral hall one by one. Only when the person who entered the ancestral hall comes out can the next person enter the ancestral hall."

As soon as this voice fell, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open.

A shy little girl with reddish cheeks followed the open door and walked into the ancestral hall.

As the little girl stepped into the ancestral hall, the door that had just been opened was also closed by the city lord Ling Yu commanding two attendants. In this way, ordinary mortals were blocked from prying into the testing of spiritual roots.

In case there are spies among mortals, they can guess the approximate qualifications of the person who has the spiritual root by measuring the brightness of the spiritual light triggered by the spiritual stone by the person with the spiritual root.

As a result, those good seedlings were killed by the enemy family.

As for the monks acting as gaps, unless the foundation-building monks come here or the qi-training monks have practiced extremely advanced breathing methods, it will be difficult to hide their figure in front of Ling Pengyun, a ninth-level qi-training monk, and use his spiritual consciousness to penetrate the ancestral hall. Gate, explore the situation when testing the spiritual roots.

Generally the former is more and the latter is less.

After all, every monk is the wealth of a family. If a monk is used as a spy, once he is caught, the loss will be huge.

Inside the ancestral hall.

"Come here." Ling Pengyun greeted the little girl who was the first to enter the ancestral hall to test her spiritual roots.

When the little girl heard Ling Pengyun shouting, she quickly quickened her pace and walked to the small table in front of Ling Pengyun.

"Put your hands on this small table." Ling Pengyun said.

The little girl was also very obedient. She obeyed the instructions and raised her hand and placed it on the small table.

Ling Pengyun didn't delay too much. He waved his hand and took out a spirit-testing stone from the storage bag, placed it in the palm of the little girl's hand, and channeled a spiritual power into the spirit-testing stone.

After waiting for three breaths, the spiritual stone did not move at all.

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun also knew the result.

"You are not destined to be immortal, please step back." Ling Pengyun said helplessly.

When the little girl heard this, her expression suddenly dropped, and a look of grievance appeared on her face.

However, she was sensible and did not mess around, nor did she stay too long, so as not to annoy the immortal. She quickly left the ancestral hall and returned to her parents who were waiting outside the ancestral hall.
