Chapter 1351
Special Plan
at the same time.
After Ling Pengyun and others left, Ling Lihao, a fourth-level talisman master who was sitting alone on the Jinchi Mountain, the border mountain of the family, slowly walked out of the cave where the communication formation was set up, and went to a large bronze bell on the top of the mountain and rang it.
"Nascent Soul ringing the bell? Could something big be happening?"
“Maybe, but the family is very powerful now, and has a backer like Ancestor Pengyun. Even if we run into trouble, there is nothing to be afraid of. You know, three years ago, on the eve of the battle of the God Transformation, Ancestor Pengyun showed a powerful strength that surpassed that of a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator.”
"........."
Upon hearing this, thousands of elite monks from different families stationed in Jinchi Mountain stopped what they were doing and looked towards the top of the mountain in amazement.
Then, they all went to a huge and spacious area halfway up the mountain.
When the two of them arrived, Ling Lihao also appeared.
In order to avoid trouble, Ling Lihao did not explain the reason for summoning them this time. He just asked them to follow the instructions left by Ling Pengyun and not to leave the mountain at will. He also asked them to go to the warehouse in the mountain to collect talismans, magical instruments and other war preparations.
And this kind of thing is now happening everywhere in the family.
For a moment, the extremely peaceful Ling seemed to have turned into a wild wolf, ready to pounce on the enemy at any time.
The surrounding Nascent Soul forces were not blind either. They soon learned of the situation and sent people to the Ling family to inquire about the situation.
And Ling, considering that everyone belonged to the righteous path and had a deep interest relationship with each other, simply told everyone about the speculation about the war that was about to break out.
However, they did not spread the news that Ling Pengyun had left this world together with Yun Qianlao Zhenjun, the powerful Nascent Soul master who was stationed in Sanxianfang City.
After all, who knows whether the speculation is true.
Moreover, although the Black Dragon Lake Clan in the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world suffered severe damage, they still have an ancestor who has reached the level of a spirit being in charge, and their strength is extraordinary, so they need to be guarded against.
When the other Nascent Soul forces heard about it, they were all a little surprised. In order to confirm the news, they used various channels and even went to the Sanxianfang City on the righteous front to inquire about the news.
When they learned that there was indeed a possibility of a war, the atmosphere of the entire righteous cultivation world in the Northern Wilderness suddenly changed, as if a thick dark cloud had covered the entire righteous world, causing many cultivators to feel depressed.
…………
Soon after.
Ling's territory.
Somewhere.
Two figures were flying across the ground at extremely fast speeds.
It was not until they approached the huge ice and snow market built by the Ling family near the Ice and Snow Valley in the clan's territory that they stopped and their figures became apparent.
This is a grandfather and grandson.
"After more than ten days of travel, we finally arrived here."
At this moment, Mr. Zhang Hua was looking at the huge Ice and Snow Market in the distance, his brows full of joy.
But then he realized something was wrong.
Nowadays, there are long queues of cultivators outside the gates of every place in the Ice and Snow Market, and many cultivators even set up camp directly near the market.
This kind of thing doesn't happen on ordinary days.
"I didn't expect that after all my efforts, I would still be late. In this case, even if I use the opportunity I got in my early years, I will not be able to live in that market."
"And the group of cultivators outside the market are probably the same as my grandfather and grandson. They are all worried about the news of the upcoming war, so they came here specifically to seek refuge with the Ling family."
"But this is a problem for my grandson and me. It seems that we will not be able to enter the safe market easily this time."
Old man Zhang Hua sighed helplessly.
"Grandpa, what should we do next?"
At this time, his ten-year-old grandson Zhang Qing beside him heard what he said and his face was full of sorrow.
"Since that group of cultivators can set up camp outside the market, they must have obtained Ling's tacit approval."
"After all, such a situation is not allowed to happen within a 5,000-mile radius of the Ice and Snow Market. Even if a large number of independent cultivators gather here, they will be driven away to avoid any trouble."
"In this case, as long as we occupy a good place outside the market, it will be safer than hiding in other places. After all, the Ice and Snow Market is the largest market under the Ling family, and next to this place is the Ice and Snow Valley of the Ling family, which is said to have countless strong people."
"However, the Ling family is indeed kind-hearted. After all, although this move has brought together many independent cultivators outside the market, the strength of independent cultivators like us is average. Unless the number reaches a particularly large number, it is estimated that we will not be able to help the Ling family at all."
"According to my guess, this move is also intended to retain the foundation of the independent cultivators here."
Old man Zhang Hua looked at the large number of simple houses outside the market town and showed a bit of relief.
He came from a small county near the Ice and Snow Valley, but he did not have the Ling family's bloodline and his aptitude was average, so he was not valued by the Ling family. However, the Ling family did give him a technique.
And because of his stable temperament, he has been staying in the small county where he was born since then. Occasionally, he would help the Ling family with some simple but non-dangerous work such as mining in exchange for resources for his spiritual practice.
After years of exploration, she was able to enter the stage of Qi training and had many children.
The young man Zhang Qing was one of his many grandsons and had spiritual roots, so he took him with him to practice.
In addition, he had previously sent many of his mortal relatives to a relatively small mortal town nearby, where many Ling clan cultivators were stationed and it was relatively safe. It was a pity that the Ling clan did not allow them, such casual cultivators, to stay there for a long time at such a time.
That's why they came here.
"Grandpa is just as you said."
At this moment, when little Zhang Qing heard this, he looked at the large group of simple houses outside the market town, with a look of anticipation on his face.
At the same time, Ling's status in his heart became particularly high.
Afterwards, the grandfather and grandson rested for a while and then headed directly to the market.
After a while, they arrived at the place.
And just as they had guessed, they were late.
Although people can still enter the market, the houses and courtyards that are for sale, as well as the inns, are already occupied.
As such, it is difficult to live there permanently, but it is normal to trade spiritual objects there.
In addition, the market has also planned an area outside as a residential area, but a spirit stone must be paid every month.
However, this is not in vain.
The market town dispatched a hundred Ling clan monks to stay in the residential area and maintain order. It was even rumored that the Ling clan had arranged for formation masters to move some spiritual veins from other places here to set up formations.
For this reason, although this residential area is outside the market town, it is actually relatively safe.
This is also the reason why many independent cultivators are willing to settle down outside the market town.
Of course, the main reason is the low price.
As a result, Zhang Hua and his grandson moved into the residential area without any worries and even kept that opportunity.
This night.
Residential area
In a simple wooden house,
Little Zhang Qing ran back from outside with a happy face and said to his grandfather Zhang Hua who was cooking.
"Grandpa, I heard from a cultivator of the same age that I just made friends with that the Ling Clan recently released a message saying that since there are many independent cultivators gathering in the residential area, they will hold a competition at the end of this month in the Ling Clan compound where the Ling Clan cultivators live in the residential area. Anyone of any age can participate."
"They will even establish a school specifically to recruit people like me who are under the age of 20 to select some good talents. As long as you are of the right age, you can enter directly."
"No matter which market the best person is, they can join the Ling family's Foreign Affairs Hall and receive all the benefits that the Ling family deserves. They can even have the opportunity to marry a Ling family woman and become a true member of the Ling family..."
The elderly Zhang Hua was a little surprised when he heard this.
Although the Ling family would hold the competition every few years.
However, the establishment of an academy specifically for the recruitment and training of young monks was the first time.
Moreover, this matter is extremely time-consuming and resource-consuming. Even if it can eventually cultivate a group of loyal independent cultivators, it is totally not worth it for a big force like the Ling family.
For a moment, Mr. Zhang Hua was really confused.
"Does the Ling family have so many resources that they have nowhere to spend them?"
Then, seeing Xiao Zhangqing's expectant look, he asked.
"Qing'er, do you want to enter the Ling family academy?"
There was a hint of maturity in little Zhang's expression.
"Of course. After all, only in this way can we change our fate."
"Otherwise, we won't be able to survive in this turbulent situation."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang Hua showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
"I have taught this child well."
"And that's exactly what they're considering."
Before this, the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world had been in turmoil for decades. Little Zhang Qing was born during that period and had experienced countless disasters during that period. Therefore, both Grandpa Zhang Hua and Zhang Qing were well aware of the horror of turmoil.
"It's great that you have such an idea. It seems that you have really grown up."
"And I support your idea. However, since the news of the Ling's Academy has spread, it will definitely attract a large number of young cultivators like you. By then, even if there are no requirements for admission to this academy, it will be difficult for you to win and be valued by the Ling family."
"Therefore, you don't have to go all out at that time."
Little Zhang Qing nodded solemnly and immediately ran to practice.
When Mr. Zhang Hua saw this, he secretly made a decision and then took advantage of the night to carefully enter the market.
