Chapter 1651
Rank 5 High-Grade Talisman
Soon after.
Heavenly River Boundary.
The Cangxuan lineage is based in the "Blazing Sun Forest".
Inside a cave dwelling rich in spiritual energy.
'It's truly unexpected that the one from the Radiant Star Immortal Sect, after borrowing those two powerful fifth-grade top-quality arrows from the Golden Origin Immortal Sect, actually caused some trouble, just as Senior Golden Feather had predicted.'
'Senior Jin Yu is truly a prophet.'
'Furthermore, we really need to prepare for major chaos.'
Ling Pengyun was shocked to learn through various channels of the Cangxuan lineage that Yaoxing Daojun had destroyed the ancestral land of the Fengyue Linghu clan, and his brows furrowed.
He had a good relationship with the old Taoist master Jin Yu, and was also a reliable person.
Some time ago, the Golden Feather Daoist told Ling Pengyun about the fact that the Radiant Star Daoist had borrowed the Golden Feather Bow, and asked Ling Pengyun to make some special preparations.
In order to prevent Ling Pengyun from being caught unprepared and encountering trouble when the Heavenly River Realm descends into chaos in the future.
In addition, Ling Pengyun had been based in the Tianhe Realm for a long time, so he had some understanding of the Fengyue Spirit Fox Clan and knew that the clan was good at the art of spiritual plants.
Moreover, it was no secret that Yaoxing Daojun was seriously injured.
He more or less guessed why Yaoxing Daojun had taken action against the Fengyue Linghu clan.
But this is rather strange.
Although Yaoxing Daojun was injured, it was not particularly serious.
Furthermore, the Heavenly River Realm is currently extremely peaceful. Logically speaking, Dao Lord Yaoxing should have plenty of time to recuperate and should not be in such a hurry.
After all, if the demons and monsters were to discover their attack on the Wind and Moon Fox Clan, it would be extremely troublesome.
All these circumstances undoubtedly indicate that Yaoxing Daojun has plans for the future.
As the leader of the righteous path in the Heavenly River Realm, Yaoxing Daojun's actions would inevitably implicate the entire righteous path of the Heavenly River Realm.
Subsequently, Ling Pengyun immediately informed the Star Sea Ancestor and other powerful figures of the Cangxuan lineage of his conjecture, and planned to gather spiritual materials to refine some special spiritual items to increase his family's resources.
"Since I have a fifth-level weapon refiner, and my clan also has fifth-level mid-grade talisman masters like Li Hao and fifth-level mid-grade alchemists like Grandfather Yun Hong, we urgently need materials from these three aspects."
"If you are willing to sell these spiritual materials to our clan, for a period of time in the future, the price of various high-level spiritual treasures, talismans and pills purchased from our clan will only be 70% of the normal price."
Ling Pengyun addressed the crowd.
Although the price of selling these spiritual items is cheap, it will cause the family to earn less profit.
However, these are special times, and only in this way can we hope to collect a large number of treasures such as refining materials.
Furthermore, the various forces within the Cangxuan lineage are, after all, practically family.
They benefited, which indirectly helped their families as well.
"This is indeed something we need to pay attention to!"
"Pengyun, you are truly generous. Even my Xinghai Pavilion can't help but be a little envious."
"And over the years, my Star Sea Pavilion has managed to acquire some refining materials through various channels..."
"..."
The powerful figures of the Cangxuan lineage, such as the Star Sea Ancestor, were quite experienced. After listening to Ling Pengyun's words, they also felt somewhat apprehensive about the future.
In addition, the spiritual items given by Ling Pengyun were extremely cheap, and those spiritual items could be considered as war supplies, which would greatly help one's strength.
Most importantly, they each have relatively few high-level artists under their command.
Even if they all possess a lot of high-level refining materials and other treasures, they cannot maximize their benefits in a short period of time.
Under these circumstances, making a deal with Ling Pengyun is undoubtedly the best option.
They then sold a lot of basic spiritual materials to the Ling family and obtained a lot of high-level spiritual treasures and other items from the Ling family.
In addition, they also plan to collect some spiritual materials to refine special spiritual items.
Star Sea Pavilion is skilled in the art of formations, so they intentionally collect formation materials to refine special formations such as high-level battle formations, and also sell them to other forces in the Cangxuan lineage.
Because the Righteous Alliance is skilled in swordsmanship, they intend to collect high-grade spirit iron and other spiritual materials that can be used to forge flying swords, planning to forge some special 'Dao Swords'.
This sword is a one-time use magical weapon, containing a subtle sword intent, though it only has the power for a single strike.
However, its power is extremely strong, and there is a considerable probability that it can kill beings of the same level.
Furthermore, this item is unique to the Righteous Alliance. Not only is it extremely difficult to refine, but it also requires the assistance of a sword cultivator's true intent...
The Supreme Buddhist Sect is a major sect of Buddhism and Taoism, and it excels at crafting methods to counter demonic forces...
The Four Immortals Alliance specializes in the art of talismans...
……
quite a while.
The internal trading session of the Cangxuan lineage has concluded.
'The resources of forces like Star Sea Pavilion are truly substantial. I never expected that this transaction would yield so many high-grade materials for refining weapons, alchemy, and talisman making.'
'Once I, along with Ancestral Master Yunhong and Li Hao, refine these into various spiritual objects, our clan's reserves of spiritual objects for war preparation will likely increase dramatically.'
'The only trouble might be that refining those spiritual items is quite time-consuming.'
'It will take at least several decades to have a chance to complete the entire process.'
Ling Pengyun looked at the large number of spiritual materials traded during the trade fair, his face full of joy.
Subsequently, considering that the family had traded away a large number of spiritual treasures and other spiritual items, thus depleting its resources, he directly summoned the old patriarch Ling Yunhong and Ling Lihao to begin refining spiritual items.
This way, we can fill the void in our family.
In addition, during this period, Ling Pengyun also instructed many powerful members of the family to collect various basic spiritual materials from outside.
The same applies to the other forces within the Cangxuan lineage.
However, it is more difficult to collect spiritual materials from outside sources.
Recently, the minor disturbance caused by Yaoxing Daojun has caused quite a stir in the outside world, and all the major righteous forces have a premonition that something is wrong.
Moreover, those forces generally have better foundations, and like the Ling Clan and Xinghai Pavilion, they have some familiar forces with whom they can obtain spiritual items at low prices.
Therefore, even though the Ling family and other forces of the Cangxuan lineage provided many benefits, they still did not collect any spiritual materials.
However, the Ling family and other members of the Cangxuan lineage did not insist on this.
It would be best to collect it from nature.
It's okay if we can't collect them.
Anyway, they made a good profit from the previous insider trading.
Moreover, as time went on, the various forces of the Cangxuan lineage gradually refined the spiritual materials they had previously acquired into various powerful spiritual objects.
Their combat readiness has also been strengthened.
They also felt more confident in dealing with the troubles from outsiders.
……
In a blink of an eye.
More than a decade has passed.
This day.
Forest under the scorching sun.
Inside Ling Pengyun's secluded cave, a massive spiritual treasure inexplicably erupted.
It even triggered a fifth-grade low-level spiritual treasure tribulation cloud, which unleashed powerful tribulation lightning bolts.
At that very moment, nine extraordinary golden arrows flew out of the cave.
They contain incomparably sharp and powerful force to break through enemy defenses, and since they are of the same origin, their combined power is extraordinary.
They possess a tremendous advantage when facing those tribulation lightnings.
Even some tribulation lightning bolts with relatively ordinary power were directly blasted into fragments by their combined force.
Boom! ! !
A series of booming sounds followed. The golden light formed from the nine arrow feathers streaked across the sky, colliding with the lightning bolts and generating countless dazzling fluctuations of spiritual energy, creating a magnificent spectacle.
This attracted the attention of many powerful members of the Cangxuan lineage within the Blazing Sun Forest.
"Those nine arrows are truly domineering. Once they pass through the tribulation lightning, they will probably be among the top-tier spiritual treasures of the same level!"
"Fellow Daoist Pengyun's weapon-refining skills are truly getting more and more amazing."
"..."
The powerful figures, including Master Zhengyuan, were secretly alarmed.
"Those nine arrow fletchings look somewhat familiar... I'm afraid they are fletchings from the Golden Feather Bow!"
"Peng Yun's weapon-refining skills are truly extraordinary. I didn't expect him to be able to refine a set of Golden Feather Bows so quickly by using the weapon-refining method of Golden Feather Bows and Arrows that he obtained from Fellow Daoist Jin Yu in his early years."
"And its grade is also quite good."
Knowing some of the details, the Star Sea Ancestor looked at the nine arrows in the sky and smiled.
……
About half an hour later.
The remaining power of the tribulation clouds in the sky was exhausted, so a drop of sweet dew fell, nourishing the nine arrows and the bow that had been hidden in Ling Pengyun's cave.
The nine arrows and the bow then transformed, unleashing an incomparably powerful aura of spiritual treasures.
Fifth-tier, low-grade!
'This set of Golden Feather Bow and Arrows is quite powerful, and upon closer inspection, I only used three sets of materials to forge it.'
Two failures, three successes—this weapon forging attempt can be considered a small profit.
Ling Pengyun gazed at the set of golden feather bows and arrows he had just crafted, his brows furrowed with joy and a sense of accomplishment.
After all, he had obtained the method for refining golden feather bows and arrows from the Golden Feather Old Daoist for a long time, and had even reforged two fifth-grade top-quality golden elemental arrows with the Golden Feather Old Daoist.
He was quite familiar with this type of magical treasure.
In addition, his weapon-refining skills had already reached the fifth-grade high level, and the golden feather bow and arrow he refined this time was only a fifth-grade low level.
Even though those sets of golden-feathered bows and arrows are quite difficult to forge.
He possesses many advantages.
That's why, even though he had only recently come into contact with the Golden Feather Bow and Arrow, his success rate in refining it was quite good.
In addition, he has recently collected a large number of refining materials, many of which are suitable for refining the Golden Feather Bow and Arrow.
Even though he has used up a lot of spiritual materials recently, he still has quite a lot left.
He immediately began to forge the Golden Feather Bow and Arrow several more times.
Although there were many failures, there were also a few successes.
Moreover, the success rate is quite good, at least 30%.
Ling Pengyun now had two sets of fifth-grade low-level Golden Feather Bows and Arrows.
Adding the set we got earlier, that makes a total of three sets.
Such treasures are indeed powerful and rare.
Even though Ling Pengyun's cultivation level is high and he doesn't need such a spiritual treasure for the time being, he is still reluctant to sell it.
He then summoned his three sons, Ling Chengxia, Ling Chengxin, and Ling Chengmie, and handed them the three sets of arrows.
Although Ling Chengxia and Ling Chengxin have both reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm in the last few hundred years, their foundation is relatively weak, so they haven't acquired many suitable high-level spiritual treasures.
They were extremely fond of the Golden Feather Bow and Arrow, a fifth-grade, low-level treasure that could break through the Qi barrier.
As for Ling Chengmie, he was still in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so the Golden Feather Bow and Arrow were even more helpful to him, and he loved them even more.
They immediately expressed their gratitude to Ling Pengyun.
“Father, I will remember this gift of treasure. If I ever get my hands on something good in the future, I will definitely come to repay your kindness.”
"..."
Ling Chengxia and the other two said in unison.
"You little rascals certainly have a sweet tongue."
"But remember, intensify your training."
Ling Pengyun smiled and gave his instructions.
Ling Chengxia and the other two knew some secrets after all, and their expressions changed upon hearing Ling Pengyun's words.
Ling Chengxia harbored a ruthless heart, and he was extremely eager to see if trouble would arise in the future, intending to use this opportunity to make a profit.
As a spirit plant grower, Ling Chengxin could slowly earn profits through this method alone. Moreover, she was gentle by nature and was extremely resistant to such troubles, constantly praying in secret that they would not come.
The situation regarding Ling Cheng's demise is more complicated.
'I only hope that trouble will come later, so that I can use the power of my family to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.'
'And by then, my strength will have increased dramatically. When trouble arises again, I will not only be better able to protect myself.'
'With the help of my spirit beasts, the probability of us seizing opportunities together is probably much higher.'
Ling Cheng prayed silently.
Although his cultivation level was still in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he had already reached the pinnacle of this realm.
Moreover, he is a promising talent that the family is focusing on cultivating. If the family is given another one or two hundred years, they can provide enough spiritual materials to help him break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
But the worst thing is that trouble might come too quickly.
With his current early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation and the power of the spirit beasts under his command, it would be difficult for him to plan any opportunities.
'These little guys certainly have a lot of ideas.'
Looking at the expressions of Ling Chengxia and the others, Ling Pengyun guessed what they were thinking.
However, he did not interfere too much.
After all, Ling Chengxia and the others have their own paths to follow.
He then gave them some pointers on their cultivation, dismissed them, and went back to refining weapons.
……
Several more years passed.
This day.
While Ling Pengyun was refining his weapon, Ling Lihao, a fifth-tier mid-grade talisman master from the family, inexplicably came looking for him with an excited expression.
“Ancestor Pengyun, among the large batch of talisman materials that the family acquired some time ago, there were a few pieces of fifth-grade high-quality talisman materials.”
"I tried to draw it a few times recently, and by chance, I finally refined this fifth-grade superior-quality Overturning Sea and Sky Talisman."
"But such a treasure is indeed powerful. I was so excited that I dared to disturb your seclusion, Ancestor, and intended to bring it to you."
Ling Lihao, with his elegant demeanor, like a refined scholar, handed a deep blue talisman to Ling Pengyun.
"You've really given me a big surprise."
"Such talismans are extremely rare."
"Even for me, it might be somewhat helpful."
"Moreover, your mastery of talismans is getting stronger and stronger, which is really impressive."
Ling Pengyun's eyes lit up as he looked at the talisman, and he praised it repeatedly.
A fifth-grade superior talisman is incredibly powerful, at least comparable to a full-force attack from a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
However, it is extremely difficult to refine and requires very specific materials, making it very rare and hard to buy.
Moreover, the Cangxuan lineage has never had a fifth-tier high-grade talisman master in charge.
The Ling family has never had many such powerful talismans.
However, having this one more can indeed strengthen the Ling Clan's foundation in talisman cultivation. (End of Chapter)
