After casually chatting with the two turtles for a while, Ling Pengyun got down to business.
"Two Old Ancestors, I need to enter the Fourth Layer of the Cloud Thousand Technique Pavilion."
"This is the special token Martial Uncle Yun Qian gave me. I ask that the two of you allow me through."
The two turtles' usual duty was to guard the Technique Pavilion. Should any evildoers attempt to force their way inside or cause trouble here, they would take action.
The Technique Pavilion had four layers, corresponding respectively to the inheritances of the Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul realms.
Entering the first three layers was relatively simple. One merely needed the approval of several Nascent Soul elders from the Yun Qian Lineage. However, entering the Fourth Layer, which stored Nascent Soul inheritances, required the consent of Old True Lord Yun Qian, the head of the Yun Qian Lineage.
That was why Ling Pengyun had produced the token.
Once the two turtles saw that the special token Ling Pengyun presented was genuine, they immediately let him pass.
Before long, Ling Pengyun arrived at the Fourth Layer of the Technique Pavilion.

As for the many Nascent Soul inheritances Ling Pengyun had learned from the Yun Qian Lineage in his early years, clan rules forbade him from teaching them to his clansmen, so they could not be counted among the clan's foundations.
For that reason, Ling Pengyun
