Chapter 1347
Money Obsession
"I didn't expect that you would have such a great harvest, this is really a happy event."
"If we add the news that Cheng Xia has entered the Nascent Soul stage, this would be a double blessing!"
After listening to what the old patriarch Ling Yunhong said, Ling Pengyun was immediately delighted.
The difference between a veteran quasi-fourth-level alchemist and an ordinary alchemist of the same level is huge.
Take refining a quasi-fourth-level elixir as an example. The average alchemist only has a 30% to 40% chance of success at best.
However, the old patriarch Ling Yunhong is good at refining elixirs, which can guarantee at least a 50% success rate, or even 60% to 70%. He even has a slight chance of refining a fifth-level elixir.
The elixirs he is good at refining are Juyuan Dan, Huiyuan Dan, Baiyu Dan, which have relatively comprehensive effects and can also be used by Nascent Soul cultivators. Therefore, his existence is undoubtedly extremely important to families with many Nascent Souls.
That is why Ling Pengyun added later.
"By the way, Grandpa, I think you also know that Siyi's speed in refining spiritual food is slow, and your level of alchemy is pretty good now. I wonder if you can help Siyi more in the future?"
When Ling Pengyun returned to his family from the immortal world of the Boundless Sea, he obtained a large amount of flesh and blood of Nascent Soul monsters, and gave it to his wife Yan Siyi, asking her to use her skills as a fourth-level spiritual chef to cook them one by one into fourth-level spiritual food, to help the Nascent Soul monsters in the clan improve their cultivation.
But unfortunately, those Nascent Soul monsters had a lot of flesh and blood. Therefore, after three years, Yan Siyi had only cooked one-fifth of them despite her best efforts.
This matter is particularly important. Once it is accomplished, the rest of the Nascent Souls in the family will benefit.
For example, although Yan Siyi had already reached the limit of the early Nascent Soul stage, she had not been able to break through the bottleneck because her own strength was mediocre compared to the resources at hand. However, this might not be the case if she had a large amount of spiritual food to help her.
The family's talisman cultivator Ling Lihao, who has natural spiritual roots, and Ling Pengcheng, who possesses the golden holy body of morality, have both entered the Nascent Soul stage for decades and their foundations are considered stable.
Moreover, when Ling Pengyun returned to the family before, he also got them a fourth-level realm-breaking pill. If they can reach the limit of the early stage of the Nascent Soul as soon as possible, and then use the power of the realm-breaking pill, it is estimated that there is a high probability that they can reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul...
In this way, if these three people work together, I am afraid they will be of great help to Ling Pengyun.
The final battle in the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world is bound to come soon, so the progress of cooking spiritual food is really slow.
However, as the old patriarch Ling Yunhong's alchemy skills improved, he was able to help out.
As for the past, although his alchemy skills were not bad, his probability of refining a quasi-fourth-level elixir was average after all. Although he could also use the flesh and blood of Nascent Soul monsters as the main material to refine quasi-fourth-level elixirs with strong effects, it was really not cost-effective. It would be better for him to wait for Yan Siyi to cook spiritual food.
"Of course I can help Siyi."
"It just so happens that I have been in seclusion for some time, and my bones are almost stiff. It's time to move around."
"By the way, I can also use this alchemy to test whether the soft water alchemy method I created is useful."
After considering it, the old patriarch Ling Yunhong said with some anticipation.
"Thank you very much, Grandpa."
Ling Pengyun heard this and said with a smile.
"You are so polite, kid. You asked Siyi to cook spiritual food for the good of the family. As the head of the family, I have the ability to help. How can I just stand by and watch? This is my duty."
"By the way...after this matter is settled, can you give me some fourth-level spiritual food?"
After the old patriarch Ling Yunhong finished speaking, he added another sentence.
"I am not far from the state of Golden Core Perfection. If I can have the help of such a cultivation treasure, I estimate that it won't take long for me to break through it."
Ling Pengyun's eyes suddenly lit up.
Once a cultivator reaches the Golden Elixir stage, he will have the opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
This was also what Ling Peng Yundu asked for when he gave him a Taichu Essence.
After all, Grandpa Ling Yunhong is the oldest person in the family today. As for the other members of the Yun generation, they have already passed away due to their longevity.
Even old man Ling Yunhong is almost there.
After all, if you count carefully, he is nearly five hundred years old this year.
And this is the maximum lifespan of the Golden Elixir.
For this reason, even though Ling Pengyun has given him many things to increase his lifespan over the years, he can only live for a hundred years at most.
But Ling Pengyun was not like this elder who left him so quickly.
Therefore, he even prepared some Nascent Soul spiritual objects for Grandpa Ling Yunhong early on. Although their effects were not as good as the Nine Heavens Mysterious Qi and the Essence of the Earth Soul, they were better in quantity.
In addition, due to the primordial essence three years ago, Ling Yunhong's golden elixir was transformed into a superior state. If he can achieve the Nascent Soul stage in the future, the probability is estimated to be more than 50%.
And that's pretty good.
As long as he has good luck, he will surely succeed.
By then, his life span will surely increase dramatically. At the same time, as his cultivation level improves, it will be easier for him to comprehend the Dao of Alchemy. He may even be able to rely on the Dao of Alchemy he gained from the chance of enlightenment not long ago and enter the fourth level of the Dao of Alchemy...
Therefore, Ling Pengyun immediately agreed to Ling Yunhong's request.
"Grandpa, it would take too much time to give you spiritual food after I have finished refining it. Siyi happens to have some fourth-level spiritual food that she has just cooked. I will personally deliver it to you after some time to help you."
"By the way, I'll also give you some Nascent Soul monster flesh and blood and some auxiliary materials for refining quasi-fourth-level elixirs."
When the old patriarch Ling Yunhong heard these words, he was immediately very satisfied.
Then he said with a smile.
"You are thoughtful, kid."
"However, let's forget about sending the fourth-level spiritual food and alchemy resources."
"It is a happy event that Cheng Xia has entered the Nascent Soul stage this time, and I have watched this child grow up since he was a child. Now that I know about this, I should naturally go and congratulate him in person, and also share in his good fortune."
"Therefore, I plan to leave Lingyun Mountain immediately and head to your Jinchi Mountain."
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while before stopping the communication.
……
the other side.
Family boundaries.
The top of the quasi-fourth-level Jinyuan Xiaoling Mountain.
"Cheng Xia, according to the rules, we should have held a grand Nascent Soul Ceremony for you. First, to celebrate your Nascent Soul, and second, to take this opportunity to collect some gifts sent by your family and make some money to support your future cultivation."
"But the situation in the Northern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World is not over yet, so I plan to arrange you as the family's secret agent. In this way, if there is another chaos in the Northern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World in the future, you can also catch the demons off guard when necessary." "For this reason, I can only wrong you. We will gather as a family later to liven up the atmosphere for you."
After Ling Pengyun slowly put away the communication mirror in his hand, he looked again at his son Ling Chengxia who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage.
"Dad, I have no objection to this matter. However, my breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage caused quite a stir, and many of our clansmen who were originally stationed at the Golden Wing Mountain but were temporarily transferred by you to the Small Spiritual Mountain of Jinyuan also witnessed it."
"In this case, can I still keep the fact that I am striving for the Nascent Soul stage a secret?"
Ling Chengxia particularly agreed with this, but had a concern.
"Don't worry, your mother and I have already made preparations for this matter."
"Back then, when you were trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage, I, your mother and others set up a large formation nearby to isolate communications, and gave death orders to the nearby tribesmen, telling them not to leave their respective garrisons at will."
Ling Pengyun said with a smile.
"It turns out that you, Dad and Mom, are the wisest."
Ling Chengxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Ling Pengyun called together the older generation of the family, including Ling Pengxing, the Nascent Soul ghost cultivator who had left not long ago to avoid suspicion, for a small gathering.
During this period, Ling Pengxing and others also delivered the gifts that had been prepared long ago in advance.
In addition, Ling Yunhong, who was in seclusion in Lingyun Mountain, and the Black-shelled Turtle in the Ice and Snow Valley of the clan, also came one after another, and they also prepared valuable gifts.
This also made Ling Chengxia smile. Of course, she did not lose her courtesy and thanked and greeted everyone one by one.
afterwards.
Ling Chengxia, along with his parents Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi, saw off the elders and immediately entered the cave. However, he did not go into seclusion to practice, but to collect the gifts.
He just raised his hand and took out a storage bag, from which precious spiritual objects flew out.
"Mother gave me three fourth-level spiritual foods, and also promised that in the future, she would give me one-fifth of the spiritual foods cooked with the flesh and blood of my father's Nascent Soul monsters, or the elixirs refined by Grandpa Yun Hong. This way, I will not lack the resources for cultivation in the future..."
"As for the three Purple Ginseng Spring Jade Pills given by Grandpa Yun Hong, although their grade is only at the quasi-fourth level, they are after all a treasure for healing. Their efficacy is far beyond that of pills of the same level. Even if three pills are taken together, they are probably stronger than ordinary fourth-level healing pills. For this reason, these three items can be used as life-saving items."
"And the Nascent Soul Spirit Ghost that Uncle Pengxing sent is simple and crude. Although it is unlikely to help me with my cultivation, it is the real combat power of the Nascent Soul."
"Moreover, this ghost is actually a rare and powerful middle-level spirit ghost. In this case, if we can gather an attack ghost treasure and a defense ghost treasure for it, its strength is estimated to be no worse than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul of the same level."
"And this is of great help to me today. I can even call it a guardian ghost."
"In addition, Uncle Peng Cheng, who possesses the Moral Golden Saint Body, and my nephew Fu Xiulihao also sent good gifts, including a fourth-grade lower-grade defensive spiritual treasure of good quality and five fourth-grade lower-grade defensive talismans."
"Before that, with the help of my father, I recast my life treasure Yin Yang Huaxuan Realm to the fourth level. In this way, with those defensive means, I can say that my way of attack and defense is flawless for the time being."
"And the third-grade superior defensive formation that Aunt Penglin, who is good at formations, sent is even more extraordinary. It is actually a combination of a large formation, with a total of three small formations combined. Once deployed, it can even withstand three full-strength attacks from an early Nascent Soul cultivator."
"........."
"In this way, after this incident, my weak family background has become stronger. I can even compare it to some veteran Yuanying early stage masters."
"Moreover, if I hold a grand Nascent Soul Ceremony this time, I will probably be able to collect more spiritual objects, but their grades may be lower."
"It's a pity that this Nascent Soul Ceremony can only be held in the future."
Ling Chengxia looked at the large number of precious spiritual objects in front of him, his brows filled with joy.
"However, these gifts are really suitable for my current situation. I am afraid that the elders gave these gifts with deep meanings!"
It is said that the ghost cultivator Ling Pengxing, who is in the Nascent Soul stage, Ling Pengcheng, who possesses the golden holy body of morality, and the Nascent Soul talisman cultivator Ling Lihao, were all able to enter the Nascent Soul stage at an early age because of the help of his parents.
Moreover, Ling Pengyun and his wife have provided them with a lot of support over the years.
Ling Pengxing and others who were in the Nascent Soul stage were of simple and honest character and had always remembered this kindness. It was a pity that they never had the chance to repay it.
Now that Ling Pengyun's son Ling Chengxia has entered the Nascent Soul stage, it is reasonable to give him gifts to congratulate him. Naturally, they took out some of their best treasures based on Ling Chengxia's situation.
This move is not only to help him, but also to repay the favor.
However, this favor is so great that I cannot repay it with just this one thing.
In addition, they also learned from Ling Pengyun about the possible future situation of the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world. Therefore, they have been practicing hard recently. In this way, they will be able to help Ling Pengyun when he needs it in the future.
……
at the same time.
Inside another cave in Jinchi Mountain.
After a brief chat, Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi, the couple, each went into a quiet room to meditate.
Yan Siyi's purpose of this trip was to cook spiritual food, so it made quite a lot of noise. It would be a bit unhealthy to practice next to her.
For this reason, Ling Pengyun separated from him.
And at this time.
Ling Pengyun sat cross-legged on a cushion and immediately began to practice arduously.
Improving his cultivation was the main thing, and secondly, it was to perfect the innate defense method "Five Elements Cover" that he had created based on his own situation and with the Xinghai Pavilion's sect-protecting magical power, the Starry Sea and Sky Cover, as the source.
Although this method is quite powerful, Ling Pengyun created it only a short time ago. Therefore, its current grade is average, and it has just reached the fourth grade.
"It will probably take several more years before this move can reach the realm of magical power."
"But it should be able to catch up with the chaos in the future."
"This way, I can be safer with this move to protect myself."
"I just don't know what the current situation of Ancestor Xinghai is like?"
Ling Pengyun had a worried look on his face.
Although, during the battle of transformation into a god, the Black Dragon Patriarch seemed to be the most seriously injured, but the means of transformation into a god were extraordinary, so he was a little worried that the injured Star Sea Patriarch might be more seriously injured.
If this happens, the disaster will be huge.
If the Black Dragon Ancestor recovers from his injuries faster than the Star Sea Ancestor in the future, I am afraid that the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world and even the Boundless Sea's immortal cultivation world where the Star Sea Pavilion is located will be in trouble.
