Chapter 1379
: The Body of Heavenly Spiritual Roots and Flames
"It's good that there is no chaos."
"..."
Ling Pengyun felt relieved when he heard this.
"Junior Brother Pengyun, during the incarnation battle in the immortal world of the Boundless Sea more than a decade ago, after I, the righteous incarnation, killed the Demonic Gu Daojun of the Red Buddha Demon Sect, there has been no movement since then. It is really a bit strange. I wonder if you know any secrets?"
At this time, Master Haiyun asked with a serious expression.
"Brother, I don't know about this either."
Although Ling Pengyun knew about it, he couldn't say much about it, so he just said it simply.
Upon hearing this, Master Haiyun did not ask any further questions.
Afterwards, Ling Pengyun chatted with him for a few more words, then said goodbye to his wife Yan Siyi, who had been silent, and Ling Pengcheng and left.
……
As soon as he left Haiyun Immortal Sect, Ling Pengyun summoned a small green boat.
As the tremendous spiritual power flowed into it, the small boat suddenly became about ten feet in size, large enough to carry several people.
This flying boat was the one he had forged after years of fighting in the immortal cultivation world in the boundless sea and gathering countless spiritual materials. He was lucky enough to seek help from a high-level refiner from the Xinghai Pavilion to forge it. It was a fourth-order low-grade wind-riding flying boat.
Although it is only a small one, because the spiritual materials used to forge it are of better quality, its speed is very fast, enough to reach a distance of more than 45 million miles a day.
Moreover, if some special fourth-level treasures can be added into it in the future, this treasure will have a chance to reach the level of fourth-level mid-quality.
It is for this reason that this flying boat has become Ling Pengyun’s commonly used flying magic tool.
As everyone boarded it, the flying boat quickly crossed the sky like a breeze... and disappeared.
At the gate of Haiyun Immortal Sect.
"Junior Brother Pengyun, the speed of this flying boat is truly amazing."
Master Haiyun watched Ling Pengyun and the others leave and couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
Due to the larger size of a fourth-order flying boat, more materials are needed to refine it. As a result, the cost of refining it is higher, even about three times that of refining an ordinary fourth-order attack magic weapon of the same level.
As a result, fourth-order flying boats are extremely rare in the world, and they are extremely precious. Even a fourth-order alchemist like Master Haiyun does not have one.
However, the Haiyun Immortal Sect where he was based did have a flying boat, but unfortunately, it was a medium-sized flying boat with a huge size, and its flying speed was far inferior to Ling Pengyun's flying boat.
But the medium-sized flying boat also has its advantages, which is that it can accommodate a lot of people...
……
After half a day.
A small flying boat suddenly appeared in the sky.
Ling Pengyun and the other two who were standing on it couldn't help but show some joy at the endless mountains, dense forests and countless human traces below their feet.
Because all the places you see are Ling family’s territory.
After years of accumulation, the Ling family now has a territory of more than 20 million miles, which is larger than many ordinary Nascent Soul forces and second only to the three major immortal sects.
However, if we only talk about the quality of spiritual veins, no force in the entire Northern Wilderness cultivation world can compare.
You know, in his early years, Ling Pengyun led the Ling family to destroy the Yuanying demon tribe, the Golden Winged Tiger tribe, in the boundless vast swamp, and occupied the only fourth-level spiritual vein of this tribe...
In addition, this clan has also cultivated a pseudo fourth-level spiritual vein in the former clan site, Lingxiao Mountain, and a fourth-level ice spiritual vein in the current clan site, Ice and Snow Valley.
There are a total of three fourth-level spiritual veins, and the remaining spiritual veins number as many as thirty to forty thousand.
In addition, because there were few people in the Ling family in the early years and there were many spiritual veins, the benefits of surviving were great. The Ling family was also good at spiritual planting, which was closely related to spiritual veins. In the past few years, the Ling family relied on a lot of benefits to upgrade many high-level spiritual veins...
According to statistics, there are nearly a hundred third-level spiritual veins, and thousands of second-level spiritual veins...
Even if such spiritual veins were placed in the vast world of immortal cultivation in the boundless sea, only a few forces with extraordinary foundations in the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul could achieve this...
And it is precisely with this strong foundation as support that, even though the Ling family has grown to hundreds of thousands of people after hundreds of years of reproduction in recent years, there is no sign of a shortage of resources, and all the spiritual veins under their command are firmly in their hands.
Of course, the Ling family does have some affiliated forces, but not many...
The entire Ling family is full of vitality, just like a holy place for spiritual practice.
This also attracted a large number of independent cultivators to settle here... and indirectly improved the local trading network, making the Ling family more prosperous.
It can even be said that the Ling family's territory is completely different from the rest of the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World...
As long as there are mountains and flat terrain, there will be villages and towns.
Every hundred miles, there is a market town, which adds a bit of monk spirit...
.........
Not long after that.
The Ling clan's land.
Ice and Snow Valley.
"I haven't been here for many years. The foundation of the ice spirit vein here has become stronger."
Ling Pengyun, the imperial envoy, rode on a flying boat and brought Yan Siyi and Ling Pengcheng back here. As soon as they returned, they found that the ice spiritual energy in the valley had become much richer.
'And this time, I have obtained a lot of fourth-level ice and water treasures through my military exploits and various battles... After refining them, I think the foundation will be even stronger. By then, I will find a high-level formation master to set up a spiritual formation. This ice spirit vein will definitely have a chance to enter the fourth-level mid-quality realm!'
Then, with some anticipation, he went deep into the Ice and Snow Valley with Yan Siyi and Ling Pengcheng, and finally stopped outside a cave with rich spiritual energy.
After waiting for a while, the door of the cave was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man with slightly white hair and a somewhat majestic aura walked out.
"Uncle Pengyun..."
When this person saw Ling Pengyun and the other two appear, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. He immediately bowed respectfully to the three of them.
"Cheng Yuan, I haven't seen you for many years. You look older."
"This is the Cang Ling Sheng Yuan Fruit that I got from the Immortal Cultivation World in the Boundless Sea. It is of the quasi-fourth grade and can increase your lifespan by at least 150 years..."
Ling Pengyun looked up and down at the great elder Ling Chengyuan in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. Then, he took out a green fruit full of vitality from his storage bag.
This fruit is a spiritual object that increases longevity, bred by the Cangling Shengyuan Tree...
In addition, although the Great Elder Xingqing, to whom Ling Pengyun owed a favor, has not much life left at present, he had taken these kinds of longevity-increasing spiritual objects through the Xinghai Pavilion in his early years, and he had even taken many fourth-level longevity-increasing spiritual objects.
There are also restrictions on the use of this kind of spiritual item. It is only effective when used for the first time...
At the same time, the Great Elder Ling Chengyuan was very excited when he saw this.
Although his cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Golden Core, his aptitude is extremely ordinary. He has reached this level now only with the huge support of his family and the respect of Ling Pengyun... and the resources are not elixirs, so it is difficult to improve his cultivation infinitely. Since decades ago, his cultivation progress has been particularly slow. According to his estimation, he is afraid that he will never be able to reach the late stage of the Golden Core in this lifetime, let alone the Nascent Soul stage.
And he only has only one or two hundred years left to live.
For this reason, he has been a little worried about his longevity recently, and now, the appearance of the Cang Ling Sheng Yuan Fruit is like the dawn of hope.
It is even possible that, with such a huge increase in lifespan, it is entirely possible for it to enter a higher realm.
However, precisely because of the extraordinary efficacy of this item, he was a little hesitant to accept it. If this item appeared on the market, he was afraid that even Nascent Soul experts would fight for it.
"Cheng Yuan, you should accept this. The family still needs you to manage it!"
When Ling Pengyun saw this, he stuffed it into his hand.
Ever since the great elder Ling Chengyuan demonstrated his management talent two or three hundred years ago and was systematically trained by the family elders to be able to stand on his own, Ling Pengyun and the family patriarch Ling Yunhong began to take charge.
All family affairs were handed over to the great elder Ling Chengyuan, while they pursued the path or solved some of the bigger problems of the family...
During this period, Ling Chengyuan had never made any mistakes, and even the current prosperity of his family was closely related to him. For this reason, as his life is coming to an end, Ling Pengyun should naturally give him a hand.
When Ling Chengyuan saw this, he immediately thanked Ling Pengyun.
Afterwards, several people chatted together.
"Not long ago, when the immortal cultivation world in the Boundless Sea was in chaos, the monsters in the Boundless Swamp began to move... There were even four Nascent Soul Early Stage Monster Kings and one Nascent Soul Late Stage Monster King who raided the family."
“But fortunately, Ling Peng Xingbo, the ghost cultivator Yuanying who was stationed in the central area of the family, rushed back in time and killed them one by one with his extraordinary sword skills.”
"..."
Great Elder Ling Cheng Yuandao.
"Is Brother Pengxing's swordsmanship so strong?"
"It seems that his retreat in the past few years has yielded some small rewards."
Ling Pengyun was slightly surprised.
Originally, he arranged for Ling Pengxing to take charge of the family, mainly because the Ghost Fairy Lamp on him was extremely powerful, and he could not be defeated even if he met a powerful Yuanying Perfection...
But no one would have expected that Ling Pengxing, whose cultivation was only in the early Nascent Soul stage, had the power to kill a strong man in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Then, he thought deeply about the actions of the Black Dragon Lake clan.
"The Black Dragon Lake clan is really brave."
Back then, when the immortal cultivation world in the Boundless Sea was in chaos, the ancestor of the Black Dragon Lake clan also went there.
After years of fighting, the remaining monsters of the Black Dragon Lake clan have long been less powerful than before. Under such circumstances, it would be good enough if the righteous people in the Northern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World did not invade them. To dare to actively provoke the Ling family is undoubtedly a risky move.
But in Ling Pengyun's opinion, this clan's move was a brilliant one. If it succeeds, the threat from the righteous cultivation world in the Northern Wilderness will surely be reduced a lot in the future. It is even possible that they can kill countless cultivators in the Ling family's territory, refine elixirs, and increase their strength.
It’s a pity that their plans were all dashed by the existence of the ghost cultivator Ling Pengxing.
'In fact, due to the tragic death of the five Nascent Souls, the strength of the Black Dragon Lake Clan will inevitably be weakened.'
'This is a bit like shooting oneself in the foot.'
Ling Pengyun smiled.
Later, he also learned from Ling Chengyuan that his spiritual beast, the black-shelled tortoise, which had been in seclusion in the clan land for many years, had entered the Nascent Soul stage more than ten years ago, and because the quality of the condensed Nascent Soul was too high, it had the opportunity to attain enlightenment.
But he has never come out of retreat, and it is suspected that he gained extraordinary gains from the opportunity of enlightenment...
"That black-armored turtle is indeed very impressive. Moreover, its achievements are worthy of its original intention of delaying the impact of the Nascent Soul stage and instead tempering its spiritual consciousness and meridians to build a strong foundation..."
Ling Pengyun's eyes lit up slightly.
After a while, everyone started talking about the situation of the family monks.
Among the hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the family, although most of them are just ordinary people, there are also some outstanding ones. Even with such a large base of cultivators, five years ago, the family gave birth to a genius member who not only has a natural spiritual root of fire attribute, but also has a mid-level flame-melting spiritual body.
"A fire-attributed spiritual root? And also possesses a flame-melting spiritual body?"
"After many years, the family finally has another great genius."
"And his innate talent is strong. In the entire family, I guess only Cheng Mie can surpass him."
"Whose descendant is that child? Which generation of the clan does he belong to?..."
Ling Pengyun was extremely curious, so he asked the genius many details.
Although he has strong talents, it is mostly due to acquired reasons.
And his third son, Ling Chengmie, is a true genius. Not only does he possess the thunder spiritual root among the special spiritual roots, but he also possesses the rare and superior spiritual body of all beasts. He is a natural beast tamer.
Moreover, although Ling Chengmie had been practicing Taoism for only a hundred years or so, his cultivation had already reached the realm of Golden Elixir Perfection, and his attainments in taming beasts had even reached the quasi-fourth level.
In addition, according to Ling Chengyuan, ten years ago, Ling Chengmie had touched upon the fourth-level beast control method and gained some insights, so he entered a long period of seclusion in the Golden Wing Mountain...
In the history of the family, in addition to Ling Chengmie, the only person with extraordinary spiritual roots, there was also a cultivator with natural spiritual roots, that was Ling Lihao, a fourth-level talisman cultivator who had been stationed in the mountain at the border of the family for many years.
As for the Yanrong Spirit Body, it is a special kind of spirit body that can absorb the essence of fire from all things to refine itself, such as physical strength or to improve cultivation. Moreover, the cultivator who masters this spirit body is no different from the darling of fire. All kinds of complex fire-attribute methods are incomparably simple for it...
at this time.
Yan Siyi and Ling Pengcheng, who were also joining in the chat, looked at Ling Chengyuan curiously.
"The child's parents are just ordinary people from the clan, but they have never done anything dirty. His ancestors once had a foundation-building cultivator, but unfortunately, he met with an accident due to a major turmoil in the Northern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World."
"She belongs to the Qing generation, her name is Ling Qingmeng, and she is a little girl. However, perhaps because of her spiritual roots and spiritual body, she has a hot temper and looks a bit like a tomboy..."
"In addition, since this child was found to have a good fortune, I sent him to practice with the old patriarch. There just so happens to be a third-grade high-quality spiritual fire mountain over there, which can be of great help to him."
"..."
The great elder Ling Chengyuan said with a smile.
The family has been around for five or six hundred years, and the generation names have been passed down for many generations.
The ambition is to soar to the sky and the journey is boundless.
The immortal fate is evergreen and the path is sought, just for immortality without asking for fame.
"Ling Qingmeng? Hot tempered?"
"That's interesting."
Ling Pengyun smiled, then he chatted with the great elder Ling Chengyuan, and then he and Yan Siyi and others rushed to the family's original homeland, Lingxiao Mountain, with curiosity.
