Lingxiao Immortal Clan

"Now that the purpose of the eight thousand spiritual stones has been explained, I will not say more."

"Although the Bailing Sect has a share of this mine, relying on the reputation of the Bailing Sect can deter villains."

"But in order to prevent the cultivators of the other four families in Huaishui County from embezzling the sand and soil ores excavated from this mine, I think it is better to send one or two Qi training clan members to garrison here to supervise the clan members of the other four families."

"As for letting the foundation-building cultivators in the clan to guard the mine, it is somewhat a waste of talent."

"Furthermore, my Ling family and the Luo family have a grudge in this fight. If the old thief Luo Minghui of the Luo family finds the opportunity to catch the foundation-building cultivator, he may kill him."

"Therefore, it is better to send the Qi training clan members to guard this place."

"Yun Qian, among the four of us gathered together to discuss matters in this hut, you are the one who is most familiar with the situation of the Qi training clan members in the clan. Do you have any candidates?" Ling Yunhong suggested.

When Ling Yunqian heard the question, he thought about it carefully, his expression brightened, and he recommended it.

"Xiaohua, the sixth of the Xiao generation in the family, is good. Since returning to the family more than ten years ago with you, the third brother, in response to the Bailing Sect's expansion of Jiaozhou, Xiaohua has entered the late stage of Qi training and now has the eighth level of Qi training."

"This level of cultivation is among the best in the family."

"Moreover, Xiaohua is also an apprentice of refining equipment. He can skillfully use the secret technique of refining equipment, and the speed of tempering ore into spiritual iron is much faster than that of ordinary cultivators."

"If Xiaohua is stationed in the sand and soil vein, he can also directly temper the family's share of sand and soil ore in the vein."

"As for the rest of the family except Xiaohua, they are basically unable to get away."

"In the past year, the family has opened a store in the market opened by the five county towns in Yuanzhou newly opened by Bailing Sect. The extra people in the family have also gone to help look after the store, expand the family business, and earn spiritual stones."

Ling Yunhong nodded after hearing this. "Since the rest of the family can't leave, then Xiaohua will be alone. Anyway, there will be no danger if he stays at that mine. Xiaohua's strength is not weak, enough to deal with some minor dangers."

"After this meeting is over, I will give Xiaohua some auxiliary pills and talismans for self-defense, and leave him a sum of spiritual stones to activate the mining puppets that Bailingmen will bring."

The sandy ore is very solid, and mortals can't dig it at all. Only monks who can activate spiritual power can dig spiritual mines.

However, the cost of hiring monks to mine is too high, far less than the puppets specially developed by Bailingmen's weapon refiners for mining.

The mining puppet can not only mine day and night, but also has a fast speed, which is comparable to the mining speed of ten monks of the same level.

In addition, this puppet also has a micro-spiritual gathering array in its body, which can absorb the free spiritual energy in the world into its body by itself, and consumes very little spiritual stones.

It only takes one spiritual stone to mine for about a month.

However, Bailingmen has always stopped selling such puppets.

Afterwards, Ling Yunhong, Ling Pengyun, Ling Pengxing, and Ling Yunqian chatted for a few more words before ending the meeting. They left the hut and returned to their temporary residences to meditate.

Two days later.

A second-level formation master from the Bailingmen Spiritual Array Hall came with ten first-level mining puppets to assist the five foundation-building families in Huaishui County in digging sand and soil veins.

At the same time, the 40,000 spiritual stones needed for Bailingmen to purchase 30% of the sand and soil veins were equally divided among the five major families in Huaishui County.

Then the second-level formation master arranged a second-level medium-grade defense formation in the sand and soil veins and handed the formation plate to the five cultivators in Huaishui County.

And asked the five major families in Huaishui County to hand over 5,000 kilograms of sand and soil ore to Bailingmen every year. Within ten years, after handing over the 40,000 kilograms of ore belonging to Bailingmen, the second-level formation master left this place and did not stay here.

The mineral vein here does not belong exclusively to Bailingmen. If the interests that belong exclusively to Bailingmen are lost, Bailingmen can also make up for it from the five families in Huaishui County.

In addition, although there are many foundation-building monks in Bailingmen, Bailingmen has expanded its territory too much recently, and the spiritual veins in the newly developed areas need to be guarded.

Therefore, there is no Bailingmen monk to sit in the sand and soil vein.

After the formation master of Bailingmen left, the other four major families in Huaishui County, like the Ling family, left one or two Qi training monks to sit in the sand and soil vein to supervise the various families to avoid corruption.

Afterwards, the patriarchs of the five major families led the rest of the clansmen to leave this place and return to their respective families.

Because Ling family had just received a huge sum of 8,000 spiritual stones, Ling Pengyun did not directly ride the Immortal Crane King back to the Rock Scale Snake Cave to guard.

Instead, he followed the Ling family's cultivator team, and together with Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengxing, two foundation-building cultivators, he escorted the batch of spirit stones and more than 20 Qi-training clan members who participated in the mine vein incident back to the clan.

It took nearly ten days and thousands of miles for the Ling family to return to the clan.

Ling Pengyun stayed in the clan mountain for a day and held a small council with other clan leaders in the clan.

From this council, Ling Pengyun also learned about the family's marriage with the Wen family, as well as the recruitment of sons-in-law, wives and concubines, etc.

After the meeting, Ling Pengyun rode the family's guardian spirit beast, the Immortal Crane King, and left the clan mountain.

A few days later.

Outside the Rock Scale Snake Cave.

Since Ling Pengyun left the snake cave, the family elder Ling Ruxian, who temporarily took over the snake cave and took care of the snake cave spirit veins in his place, was looking up at the sky and a crane that kept falling towards the snake cave.

Just now, when he was in the snake cave, he noticed the approach of a cultivator through the Gengjin Crack Needle Array, which was set up in the snake cave.

Through the array plate, he also noticed the identity of the person coming.

When the fairy crane in the sky landed, a young man also jumped off the crane's back and walked in front of Ling Ruxian.

Ling Ruxian saw the arrival of the young man, and his expression showed a trace of worry and expectation, and he asked.

"Pengyun, did the family encounter any danger in the sand and soil vein in the barren land between the Luo and Liu territories this time?"

"Did the family members suffer casualties? Did the family seize the ownership of the vein?"

The young man was Ling Pengyun, and the fairy crane was the family's guardian spirit beast, the Fairy Crane King.

"Eleventh great-grandfather." Ling Pengyun heard the words and bowed to Ling Ruxian and greeted him.

Then he told the story of what happened when the Ling family seized the mine and how they had a feud with the Luo family in the fight to divide the benefits of the mine.

After listening to it, Ling Ruxian was immediately scared.

After all, Ling Yunhong, the strongest man in the clan, was almost killed by Luo Minghui of the Luo family in the fight to divide the benefits of the mine.

"Fortunately, Yunhong is fine, otherwise the family would be weakened without Yunhong." Ling Ruxian said thankfully and gave instructions to Ling Pengyun, who was about to sit alone in the snake cave.

"I won't say much about this, Pengyun, since you have come here, I won't stay here any longer."

"The family is now at odds with the Luo family, so you should be more careful when you are stationed here, so as not to be discovered by the Luo family's foundation builders and prompt them to attack you who are alone."

Ling Pengyun nodded and said. "I understand. With the Immortal Crane King here, if I can't defeat him, escaping shouldn't be a big problem."

"Besides, this place is hidden, and only the Yang family's top leaders, a few people in our family, and Senior Zhang Yan of Bailingmen know about the spiritual vein."

"It is impossible for these people to spread the news that I am stationed here, otherwise it will harm their interests. After all, if I am killed, the Third Ancestor and his people will probably no longer cooperate with the Yang family, and at the same time, the fact that there is a spiritual vein here will be exposed."

"By then, if things get out of hand, it will be difficult for the Yang family to occupy the second-level spiritual vein in this snake cave that originally belonged to the Bailingmen."

Ling Ruxian was still a little uneasy and said. "Although what you said makes sense, it's better to be careful."

"Okay." After Ling Pengyun responded, he thought of something and said with a smile.

"Eleventh great-grandfather, you have now retired from the position of the great elder, and the family has nothing else to do. Do you want to go to Grandpa Yun'an to enjoy the happiness of family life?"

"Some time ago, I went to Tuyuan Market and looked for Grandpa Yun'an. I saw that Grandpa Yun'an had taken in another concubine named Liu Qing."

"By then, there will be six grandma's grandmothers to take care of you. Isn't it wonderful?"

Ling Ruxian was quite moved when he heard this.

Since his only son Ling Yunfu became the elder of the family more than 30 years ago and was sent out by the family to manage the family's overseas properties, he rarely talked with his only son Ling Yunfu.

The relationship between the two has also become a lot more distant.

After the monster rebellion ended, Ling Yun'an often sent messages back to the family, asking Ling Ruxian to go to his side to enjoy his old age.

But at that time, it happened that Ling Pengliang was in seclusion to break through the foundation building, and Ling Ruxian had to replace the position of the great elder of the family for a period of time, so he did not go to Ling Yunfu.

"Well, I don't have many years left, and it's time for me to enjoy the care of my daughters-in-law."

"Pengyun, you are not young anymore. Some time ago, when we were at the family, Yunhong told me about your Taoist partner. I was worried about your Taoist partner."

"If there is a female cultivator who can sleep in the future, don't miss it and seize the opportunity." Ling Ruxian said with a smile.

"I understand, eleventh great-grandfather." Ling Pengyun raised his eyebrows and nodded in response.

"Okay, I won't nag you anymore."

After Ling Ruxian said this, he handed the Gengjin cracking needle array that protected the snake cave from his storage bag to Ling Pengyun, and then summoned a fairy crane in the late stage of Qi training from the beast bag on his waist, and rode the crane to fly away quickly.

Ling Pengyun watched Ling Ruxian for a while, until Ling Ruxian's figure disappeared from his sight, he returned to the rock scale snake cave.

…

One year later.

Zhang Yan, deputy head of the General Affairs Hall of Bailing Sect stationed in Tuyuanfang City, came to the Rock Scale Snake Cave again and found Ling Pengyun.

Outside the Rock Scale Snake Cave.

“Senior Zhang, do you have something to do this time?” Ling Pengyun asked in confusion when he saw Zhang Yan, who was not very close to him, coming here again.

“Junior Brother Wu Yan and his Taoist partner, Junior Sister Yang Siling, came out of retreat a month ago. This is a letter that Junior Sister Yang asked someone from Bailing Sect to send to me and asked me to pass on to you.” While Zhang Yan was speaking, he took out a letter from his storage bag and handed it to Ling Pengyun.

Ling Pengyun was delighted when he heard this.

A few years ago, when he attended the 100-day banquet of his nephew Wu Hong, who had the wind spirit root, he heard from his cousin-in-law Wu Yan that his cousin Yang Siling had used a secret method to give birth to his nephew Wu Hong, which caused serious damage to her blood and vitality.

His cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building also fell back to the realm of Qi training.

In recent years, Yang Siling has also relied on spiritual objects to stay in seclusion and recover from her injuries.

Now that my cousin is able to come out of seclusion, it is obvious that her injuries have healed.

"Thank you, Senior Zhang." Ling Pengyun reached out and took the letter, then thanked him.

"No need to be polite, Tuyuanfang City still needs me to be stationed. It is difficult for me to leave for a long time, so I will just stay with you." Zhang Yan waved his hand and said.

After saying this, Zhang Yan sent a flying boat to leave this place.

Ling Pengyun also followed, breaking the small, seemingly invisible restriction on the letter and reading the contents of the letter.

After reading the content of the letter, Ling Pengyun couldn't help but smile for a moment.

The content written in the letter, apart from Yang Siling's words to ensure safety, was that Ling Pengyun had been found at Bailingmen for three young female cultivators of the right age, whose cultivation had reached the foundation-building stage, and who were beautiful, and were waiting for Ling Pengyun. Go to Bailingmen to meet him.

After all, it is somewhat bad for a woman to come to you for a blind date.

"Single female cultivators in the foundation-building stage are rare, and you should definitely go and meet them."

Ling Pengyun looked at the letter in his hand, muttered to himself, and then called the early-stage foundation-building fairy crane king and the Feng Yingpeng who were sleeping deep in the snake cave to leave together.

A few days later.

Ling Pengyun returned to the family and told the patriarch Ling Yunhong about the blind date arranged by his cousin Yang Siling at Bailingmen.

"This is a good thing. I have limited connections and most of the people I know are from the Foundation Establishment family. The female cultivators from the family are not within your consideration range. This female cultivator from the Bailing Sect is actually very good. Pengyun will make good use of this time. good chance."

"If you can bring a foundation-building female cultivator back to the clan, the family will become even stronger. If the family conflicts with the Luo family in the future, the family will be even more confident."

Ling Yunhong was extremely happy after learning about this incident.

"Third Grandfather, if I go to Bailingmen, I may not be able to return in a short time. The Rock Scale Snake Cave in Yuanzhou also needs people to garrison." Ling Pengyun then expressed his concerns.

"I understand what you mean. After you leave Clan Mountain, I will go to the Rock Scale Snake Cave to stay for a few days."

"As for your third brother Pengxing, he has fallen into seclusion since he returned to the clan after fighting in the sand mines not long ago. He probably gained insights through fighting with Luo's foundation-building monk Li Xia."

"Nine times out of ten, when it comes out of seclusion, it will be able to break through to the third level of the foundation."

"After all, your child is still obedient, unlike Pengxing's child..." Ling Yunhong became extremely helpless when he mentioned Ling Pengxing's marriage.

Ling Pengyun was quite obedient and knew that he wanted to get a wife.

But Ling Pengxing was really stubborn. Ling Yunhong tried to persuade Ling Pengxing to get married several times, but failed. Ling Pengxing refused because his cultivation level was still low and he didn't consider marriage.

Ling Yunhong couldn't say much about this matter. After all, Ling Pengxing was already old and had his own ideas. Ling Yunhong couldn't say much about his marriage.

Ling Pengyun also knew a little about this matter, so he didn't say much.

"Okay, I won't say more about this matter. Peng Yun, your trip to Bailingmen is a long way this time, and something unexpected happened. You ride on the fairy crane king of your family."

"If you encounter a danger that you are unable to defeat, relying on the speed of the Immortal Crane King, you can escape a little faster." Ling Yunhong said.

"Okay." Ling Pengyun responded.

Afterwards, he chatted with Ling Yunhong for a few more words, then he took his leave and left the clan mountain on the back of his family's Fairy Crane King who was in the early stages of foundation building.

…

A few days later.

Ling Pengyun rode Feng Yingpeng across hundreds of thousands of miles and finally arrived at the Bailing Mountains where Bailing Gate is located.

Yin Lingfu's daughter-in-law Yang Siling had already informed the Bailingmen monks who were patrolling the Bailing Mountains about the news that Ling Pengyun might come to Bailingmen.

Therefore, when these Bailing Sect monks saw the unfamiliar face Ling Pengyun appeared, they simply asked about Ling Pengyun's identity and then let him go.

Therefore, Ling Pengyun arrived outside Bailingmen Mountain Gate very smoothly.
