Chapter 1387
Return the favor
Time passes gradually.
Two years later.
This day.
The top of Golden Wing Mountain.
In a certain cave.
There is a strange spiritual tree that is completely black, but its aura is extremely strong and has reached the limit of the third level.
"Now that this tree has reached this stage, and with the help of many Jiamu infants and a ray of primordial energy, its foundation is relatively solid. It is time to let it try to impact the Nascent Soul stage."
Ling Pengyun looked at the Tianyuan Soul Tree in front of him, a look of anticipation appeared on his face, and he said secretly.
……
Only a few days followed.
The strange phenomenon of Nascent Soul tide was heard again in Jinchi Mountain.
For a moment, several Nascent Soul forces nearby were shocked.
This incident even shocked the entire Northern Wilderness cultivation world.
at the same time.
Tianxing Sect.
On top of the sacred mountain where a fourth-order exploration formation was set up.
"Are there any signs of spiritual trees or spiritual plants breaking through the realm?"
“But after careful calculation, this is the third time in the past ten years that the Ling family has reported a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, and the aura is different each time. The previous two times were successful. In this way, even if the third person in the Ling family who is trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage fails, it is not a loss. The probability is about 70%.”
“Ordinary cultivators or spiritual plants don’t have such a high probability of breaking through. I’m afraid that Ling Clan has given those who break through a realm a lot of Nascent Soul insights.”
"When you think about it carefully, the background of the Ling family is really unfathomable."
"..."
"Is this the benefit of having a top-notch Nascent Soul master below the level of a Spiritual Transformation?"
When Liu Haochan saw that the formation had detected unusual movements in the Ling family's territory again, his brows were filled with complexity.
Ordinary Nascent Soul forces like the Tianxing Sect, although they occupy a large area of territory and have good annual profits, they only have the opportunity to accumulate enough wealth to buy some Nascent Soul spiritual objects without damaging their origin every hundreds of years or even nearly a thousand years.
In contrast, the number of Nascent Souls in these forces is extremely small, and there is even a high possibility that they will be discontinued.
Under such circumstances, it is a world of difference compared to the Ling family where Nascent Souls frequently appear.
After a while, Liu Haochan couldn't help but sigh with endless envy.
But then, he showed some doubts.
Among the three breakthrough phenomena of the Ling family in the past ten years, only one was a cultivator, and the other two were spiritual plants of the spiritual tree type.
In addition, not long ago, Ling Pengyun used the precious fourth-level longevity-increasing spiritual apricot to exchange for the special treasure such as the Jiamu Infant.
A special guess then came into his mind.
"Could it be that the Ling family intends to use this method to enhance their spiritual plant foundation?"
……
As time passed, the spiritual tree of the Ling family that caused strange phenomena actually survived all the disasters successfully, and finally, with the nourishment of the nectar transformed from the remaining power of a calamity cloud, it successfully entered the Nascent Soul realm.
The Tianxing Sect's reconnaissance formation captured the entire incident.
'It's done again?'
"Could it be that when the spirit tree broke through the realm, Ling Clan gave it many Nascent Soul spirit objects? Did they help it?"
Liu Haochan's face was full of disbelief.
"This is really an inhumane move."
Then, out of curiosity and considering that the current Ling family's unusual activities had ended, he took the initiative to visit. However, this time Ling Pengyun did not reveal the exact information about the spiritual tree that had successfully broken through the realm.
This matter has become a mystery.
However, all the Yuanying forces in the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world understood that the spiritual tree must be extraordinary.
Moreover, after careful counting, it turns out that the Ling family has two fourth-level spiritual trees on display.
One was the fourth-level longevity-increasing spiritual tree, and the other was the mysterious spiritual tree from before.
The foundation of this kind of spiritual plant is particularly extraordinary.
Even the three major sects in the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world do not have such a foundation.
Furthermore, whether it is the number of Nascent Soul cultivators or the number of fourth-order spirit veins, the Ling family is stronger than other forces...
For this reason, many people began to discuss that the Ling family was fully worthy of the title of the number one force in the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world.
It is both a recognition of its strength and a recognition of its foundation.
In addition, given that the Ling family is extremely powerful and has been making continuous progress, people are looking forward to whether the Ling family will continue to grow stronger...
……
the other side.
The top of Golden Wing Mountain.
In a certain cave.
The Tianyuan Soul Tree, which had just survived the Nascent Soul tribulation, actually produced a large number of black spiritual fruits at an extremely fast speed as time went by.
Even when the abnormal movement stopped, it actually produced three black fourth-level spiritual fruits.
"Three? That's a little too few, but that's probably because his aptitude is average."
Zhang Qing, who had been watching from the sidelines, looked at the three fourth-level black spiritual fruits on the Tianyuan Soul Tree, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.
Although the spirit tree survived the catastrophe successfully, because its foundation was not particularly strong, it only condensed a Nascent Soul of ordinary quality with the help of many Nascent Soul spirit objects...
Afterwards, Ling Pengyun took out three jade boxes and picked the three fourth-level Tianyuan Soul Fruits that could restore the injuries of the soul, as well as the rest of the Tianyuan Soul Fruits that had no potential to enter a higher level.
……
A few days later.
The supreme Buddhist realm of immortal cultivation.
The vast righteous land.
There is a mountain range covered by a huge formation, but there are many spiritual places inside, which are full of spiritual energy. You can even see traces of monks and spiritual beasts from time to time...
"Is this the Cloud Shadow Buddhist Sect?"
"However, the foundation of this force is a bit weak. Not only is the protective formation relatively ordinary, only of the fourth-level mid-grade, but even the spiritual land within is also ordinary, with only one fourth-level spiritual vein..."
Ling Pengyun appeared in the air here, looking at the mountains below, with a hint of curiosity on his brows.
Then, he sent out a communication talisman.
quite a while.
Two figures flew out of the mountains silently and stopped in front of Ling Pengyun.
The people who came were none other than Elder Yun Qian and Great Elder Xing Qing, who had been arranged by the sect to be stationed here before.
It was rumored that the sect was planning to start a major rebellion here in the future, so they sent them here in advance to observe the situation.
After many years, the elder Xingqing, who was short-lived and had suffered a spiritual injury, has improved a lot. His breath is calm and he even looks more energetic. Apparently, he has obtained a lot of spiritual objects that can increase lifespan and restore the soul in recent days!
Although those two things are rare, Great Elder Xingqing may not have had them before. But after all, he is the Great Elder of the Xinghai Pavilion, a powerful force. He has extraordinary channels. As long as he has enough time, he can naturally collect some. But it may be difficult to collect enough.
Otherwise, his spiritual injury would have healed long ago.
As for Elder True Lord Yun Qian, he still looks the same...
"Pengyun, have you entered the realm of Nascent Soul Perfection?"
Yun Qian Lao Zhenjun, who was close to Ling Pengyun, saw that he could not see through Ling Pengyun. After thinking for a moment, he was suddenly shocked.
The people in front of him were all familiar, so Ling Pengyun did not hide anything and nodded.
When Master Yun Qian and Great Elder Xing Qing saw this, their hearts were filled with waves.
It is extremely difficult to reach the state of Nascent Soul perfection.
Moreover, Ling Pengyun is only about six or seven hundred years old.
Having reached that level at such a young age, his future prospects will probably be extremely bright.
"An excellent candidate for the God Transformation Program!"
The same thought came to the minds of the two.
Then they congratulated Ling Pengyun.
"Oh, Brother Pengyun, you've come here to look for us, but what's the important matter?"
Master Yun Qian asked Ling Pengyun curiously.
According to the original agreement, Ling Pengyun should have stayed in the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world for a long time.
After Ling Pengyun bowed to the two of them, he told them the purpose of his visit.
"This time I am here to deliver a spiritual object to Master Xingqing."
Then, he took out six jade boxes from his storage bag and handed them to the Great Elder Xingqing beside him.
Upon hearing this, Great Elder Xing Qing took the six jade boxes curiously and took a look at them, but when he opened them, he was shocked.
Inside those jade boxes, there were actually three fourth-level longevity-increasing spiritual apricots and three fourth-level Tianyuan soul fruits, which were treasures for healing the soul.
"Nephew, you don't need to do this."
When Great Elder Xing Qing saw this, he immediately understood Ling Pengyun's thoughts. For a moment, there was a bit more kindness in his eyes when he looked at Ling Pengyun.
"Uncle Master, you don't need to be so polite to me. If I hadn't been stationed on Xinghai Island and hadn't been weak enough to resist the attack of the Sea Dragon Ancestor, which allowed a Nascent Soul Perfection Demonic Beast to attack you, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Please accept the six items. I hope they can help you."
Ling Pengyun said.
"Okay, since you said so, I won't be polite to you anymore. These six things are really helpful to me."
"In the past eight or nine years, my ancestor has helped me find some things to restore my soul, which has helped me recover about 50% of my injuries. If I have these spiritual objects from you, my nephew, I estimate that I can recover about 20% to 30% of my injuries. By then, as long as I find a few more spiritual objects, my injuries will surely be healed."
"And the ancestor has prepared some spiritual objects for me to prolong my life. With your help, I think I will have no problem living for another three or four hundred years."
"And this time is especially ample. It just so happens that I promised you that I would help you refine a fourth-grade upper-grade formation. Although this grade of formation is powerful, it is not that powerful. If you can find the materials to refine a quasi-fifth-grade formation, I will definitely help you refine it, and the probability is stable at 30%."
"If the probability exceeds this, I will compensate you with a quasi-fifth-level formation."
"And if you, my nephew, are unable to gather so many materials, I can help you refine three fourth-tier superior-grade formations. It just so happens that your family has three fourth-tier spiritual veins, so the three fourth-tier superior-grade formations can be deployed in them."
Elder Xing Qing saw Ling Pengyun's expression and said with a smile.
The story of refining a fourth-grade superior formation began with the battle at Xinghai Island.
At that time, after Ling Pengyun and True Lord Yun Qianlao helped Great Elder Xingqing kill a Yuanying Perfect Blood Dragon, they did not share the benefits of the blood dragon because they had caused Great Elder Xingqing to be besieged by the monster clan.
However, Great Elder Xing Qing did not like to owe others anything. Moreover, he also wanted to leave some connections for his younger generations, so he promised to refine a fourth-level formation for Ling Pengyun and the other two for free.
"This master is very sensible in his actions. It's really beyond reproach."
When Ling Pengyun heard what he said, he immediately understood that Great Elder Xing Qing was using the matter of refining the formation to repay the cause and effect.
However, the opportunity offered by Great Elder Xing Qing was so great that he did not refuse it.
Although the Ling family has no shortage of ordinary fourth-order formations, they lack quasi-fifth-order formations.
You know, this kind of formation can unleash power comparable to that of a God Transformation. Even if it cannot be maintained for a long time, it can at least be able to fight against a God Transformation.
Moreover, in the Northern Wilderness immortal cultivation world where the Ling family is located, there is no righteous divine force, and the strongest force is the Ling family.
On the other hand, the Black Dragon Clan in the Cangmang Swamp, the number one enemy of the righteous path, has a deity in charge.
Under such circumstances, if there is another chaos there in the future, the Ling family will definitely become a thorn in the eyes of the Black Dragon Lake clan...
By then, if there was a quasi-fifth-level formation, it would be much safer.
Of course, with Great Elder Xing Qing's attainments in formations, he would naturally have the opportunity to refine such a formation. He had already deduced the art of formations to the quasi-fifth level early on...
In addition, Ling Pengyun and Great Elder Xing Qing have also become closer because of current events.
When Master Yun Qian, who was standing by, saw Ling Pengyun's actions, there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
In fact, he has recently gathered some spiritual objects for Great Elder Xingqing.
And Ling Pengyun is from the same lineage as Yun Qian.
If Ling Pengyun owed someone a favor and didn't repay it, his Yun Qian lineage would be in a bit of an awkward situation.
Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, and the great elder Xing Qing looked at the six mysterious spiritual fruits in his hand and asked curiously.
"By the way, Junior Brother Pengyun, the vitality in these spiritual fruits is particularly strong. They must have been picked up recently. Could it be that the two spiritual trees that have entered the fourth level and have caused a lot of commotion in your clan recently are the Longevity-Increasing Spiritual Apricot Tree and the Heavenly Source Soul Fruit Tree?"
Ling Pengyun was not surprised by this. After all, the family did not hide these two things. So he smiled and nodded.
"I can't hide it from you, Uncle Master!"
Upon hearing this, Great Elder Xing Qing could not help but recall what he had heard from people in the sect in his early years, that Ling Pengyun had used various treasures to take away so much spiritual water and Nascent Soul spiritual objects from the sect.
"I think that since then, this Junior Brother Peng Yun has been planning to use the power of the two fruit trees to help me recover from my injuries."
"Master Pengyun is really thoughtful."
"And this kind of character is really good."
The smile on his face widened a little more, and he couldn't help but respect Ling Pengyun more. He even smiled and spoke to Master Yun Qian.
"Junior Brother Yun Qian, your Yun Qian lineage has indeed trained a very good disciple."
The smile on Master Yun Qian's face grew even wider.
“Junior Brother Peng Yun was not taught by my Yun Qian lineage. When he entered my Yun Qian lineage, he already had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul…”
"And the reason why he can have such a mind is entirely because of himself."
"..."
After everyone chatted for a while, Ling Pengyun curiously asked about the situation of the Red Buddha Demon Sect, a demonic force in the local cultivation world.
"The Demon Sect has been keeping a low profile recently. Even in recent years, in the immortal cultivation world where the God-Transforming Demon Sect is in charge, it is hard to see a few demon cultivators appear. And even if there are any, they must be cultivators who accidentally entered the demon path..."
"But it's better this way, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Oh, right, Junior-Junior Brother Pengyun, as far as I know, when the old ancestor and the other forces reached the end of the great war, they decided to attack the Red Buddha Demon Sect ten years later. Now eight or nine years have passed, and it's basically time to take action. Remember to be prepared."
"By then, there is no guarantee that this world will be in chaos, and the situation will definitely be more dangerous than the battle between the immortal cultivation world in the boundless sea."
Great Elder Xingqing said. (End of this chapter)
