The Immortal Crane King Successfully Establishes His Foundation

As they were about to part ways, the family of three didn't want to do anything else, so they sat together and chatted idly.

It wasn't until noon, lunchtime, that the three of them stopped and busied themselves with preparing lunch.

Although the lunch was delicious, none of the three family members had much of an appetite.

After a hasty meeting, the family of three said a simple goodbye, and then Ling Xiaoshun and his wife flew away from Lingyun Mountain on their Flying Magical Item.

After seeing his parents off, Ling Pengyun continued his arduous training according to his pre-planned schedule.

Tens of thousands of miles away, Lingxiao Mountain.

Inside a quiet room in a courtyard halfway up the mountain, a fair-skinned young man was sitting with his eyes closed, his breathing rising and falling rhythmically.

After a short while, red and yellow spots of light gradually appeared around the young man's body.

These two colored dots represent fire and earth Spiritual Qi Spiritual Qi, respectively.

"Break!" The boy with his eyes tightly closed frowned deeply and murmured.

He circulated his Cultivation Method, drawing the red and yellow light spots around his body into his body.

As time went by, the fair-skinned young man absorbed more and more Spiritual Qi.

His meridians were also stretched taut, and the throbbing pain in his meridians made the boy extremely uncomfortable, and a look of pain gradually appeared on his face.

Even so, he did not stop absorbing the fire and earth Spiritual Qi, but instead gritted his teeth and persevered.

Just as his body reached its limit, a shattering sound rang out from within him.

"Click."

The next moment, the Spiritual Qi that had been blocking his meridians surged into his Dantian.

At this moment, his body was like a vortex, frantically gathering and absorbing the surrounding fire and earth Spiritual Qi Spiritual Qi his body to nourish his mortal form.

This strange event caused the fair-skinned young man's tightly furrowed brows to relax, and his face, no longer showing pain, instead revealed a hint of joy.

About half an hour later, the strange phenomenon on the fair-skinned young man stopped, and he opened his eyes and said with joy.

"Finally, I've broken through from the Innate Realm to the Qi Refining."

Then he stood up, pushed open the door of the meditation room, and walked out of the room.

"Brother Qiu, are you really Four Spirit Roots? You have only been a Daoist for a year, yet you have already crossed the first stage of the nine realms of the Innate Realm and entered the Qi Refinement Realm. You are a year ahead of me with only Three Spirit Roots."

A burly young man who had been waiting outside the meditation room for a long time exclaimed in amazement upon sensing the Qi Refining First Layer emanating from the fair-skinned young man who emerged from the room, as well as the Spiritual Qi that occasionally seeped out of his body.

Upon hearing this, the fair-skinned young man's pupils trembled slightly, but he quickly recovered and joked, "That's because I have excellent comprehension. Think about that myna Eighth Brother that tested our Spirit Root, led us onto the path of immortality, and gave us a large amount of Spirit Stone. It only has Five Spirit Root, but now at just over twenty years old, it has already reached the Qi Training Seventh Layer. Isn't that all thanks to its comprehension?"

"That's true. Compared to the Eighth Brother, your situation is indeed normal," the burly young man agreed, his doubts instantly vanishing.

The "Eighth Brother" mentioned by the burly and fair-skinned young man is none other than Ling Pengyun, the eighth member of the Ling Clan Peng Generation the Ling family. The two young men are the two children whose Spirit Root were detected in Azure Stone Village when Ling Pengyun was stationed at Azure Stone Mountain.

The robust young man was named Ling Pengshan. He was the twenty-third in the Peng Generation and his Spirit Root was discovered in the second year that Ling Pengyun was stationed at Azure Stone Mountain.

He possesses the aptitude of Three Spirit Roots and has been Qi Refining Dao for four years. He entered the Qi Refining stage in two years and then, with his excellent aptitude and the Spirit Stone given to him by Ling Pengyun, his cultivation has now reached the bottleneck of the Qi Training Second Layer Refining. He will soon be able to enter the Qi Training Third Layer.

The fair-skinned young man was named Ling Pengqiu. He was the twenty-seventh in the Peng Generation. His Spirit Root was discovered last January when Ling Pengyun was stationed at Azure Stone Mountain for the last time.

He possesses both fire and earth Dual Spirit Root. Because the younger generation of the Ling Clan family has produced too many talented individuals, the Lineage's higher-ups, fearing that other Lineage in Huai River County might take action against the younger Lineage, instructed Ling Pengqiu, who has Dual Spirit Root, to publicly claim that he possesses only Four Spirit Roots.

He entered the Daoist path a little over a year ago, and in that year he Qi Refining from the Innate stage to the Qi Refining stage.

Ling Pengshan and Ling Pengqiu were playmates before they entered the Dao in Azure Stone Village because they were of similar age. After entering the Dao, the two of them became even closer in Azure Stone Village Lingxiao Mountain, a place where they were unfamiliar with each other. They lived in the same courtyard and were no different from brothers.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's have our New Year's Eve dinner first. I've been waiting for you for three whole days to prepare this New Year's Eve dinner for you. However, the taste of these dishes may not be as good as it used to be. I've been reheating these dishes for every meal since the New Year's Eve dinner so you can eat them as soon as you come out of seclusion. If you count it that way, I've reheated these dishes nine times. Brother Qiu, you mustn't complain about them, okay?" Ling Pengshan said with a smile.

Since Ling Pengqiu had been in seclusion for half a month and there was no exact time for him to emerge, he found it meaningless to eat New Year's Eve dinner by himself, so he just kept waiting.

Ling Pengqiu felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this. "Brother Shan, you flatter me."

After responding, Ling Pengqiu followed Ling Pengshan the dining table and began to eat together.

Although the dishes didn't taste very good, the two young men still ate them all up.

Both of them were born into ordinary families, and the habit of not wasting food was ingrained in their bones.

The two cleaned up the mess together, chatted for a while, and then parted ways, each returning to their own quiet room.

Ling Pengqiu sat cross-legged in his quiet room, gazing at the Peace Talisman that his parents had given him when they parted ways. He couldn't help but miss his parents, who were mortals living on Azure Stone Mountain.

"I need to cultivate even harder, otherwise it will be many more years before I reach the Qi Training Middle Stage," Ling Pengqiu muttered to himself.

The Ling Clan has a rule that only clan members whose cultivation has reached the Qi Training Middle Stage Refining are allowed to leave the mountain. Otherwise, even clan members born in the mortal world are not allowed to leave the Clan Mountain to visit their relatives.

This action was mainly for the safety of the clansmen. The cultivator was at the Qi Training Middle Stage, and his strength was the weakest among the cultivators in An Yang County. He might encounter danger if he went out.

Late January.

The Spring Festival has just passed, but a trace of the festive atmosphere still lingers in Lingxiao Mountain.

Elderly members, women, and children from the clan visited each other to exchange New Year's greetings and wishes.

This practice can be considered a custom since the founding of the Ling Clan clan.

The bustling activity in the mountains made the back of Lingxiao Back Mountain seem exceptionally quiet.

That night, the Immortal Spirit Crane King, who had been drinking the Hundred Spirits Water for nearly two months without any effect, suddenly unleashed a powerful surge of spiritual energy, drawing in and absorbing all the wandering Spiritual Qi within the entire Lingxiao Mountain.

Ling Yunhong, who had been sitting cross-legged on the back mountain for days, protecting the Immortal Spirit Crane King, noticed the commotion outside and immediately opened his eyes. He looked up at the Immortal Spirit Crane King's nest on the cliff not far away, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Qi Infusion!"

"It seems that the Immortal Spirit has already manifested the inner core, otherwise it would be difficult to trigger the phenomenon of Qi Infusion."

"Given the Immortal Spirit's physique, it shouldn't have much of a problem with withstanding this Qi Infusion."

Although Ling Yunhong thought this way, he was extremely nervous inside.

This Qi Infusion is the final step in Foundation Establishment. If successful, the Immortal Spirit Crane King will also transform and enter Foundation Establishment. However, if it fails, the meridians throughout the body will be broken by the massive amount of Spiritual Qi absorbed into the body, and the inner core will be shattered by the Spiritual Qi.

This disturbance in the back mountain caused a stir throughout Lingxiao Mountain and attracted the attention of all the Ling Clan clan members living in Lingxiao Mountain.

In a large courtyard halfway up the mountain, where the Spiritual Qi was most abundant, Great Elder Ling Ruda of the Ling Clan looked excitedly towards the back of the mountain.

"This strange phenomenon must have been caused by the Qi Infusion that the Immortal Spirit Crane King produced when it consumed the Hundred Spirits Water and was undergoing its Foundation Establishment. I hope that the Immortal Spirit Crane King can successfully enter the Foundation Establishment this time."

"In this way, the Ling Clan, whose foundation is weak, will have one more person to rely on."

The rest of the Ling Clan clan in Lingxiao Mountain had long heard that their Clan Head, Ling Yunhong, had chosen to venture deep into the territory of the Flood Dragon Tiger to hunt Demon Beast in order to buy Hundred Spirits Sect Hundred Spirits Water for the Lineage's Immortal Ice Flood Dragon County Immortal Spirit Crane King.

Furthermore, since there was no unusual activity at other times, except for the back mountain where the Immortal Spirit Crane flock lived, it was not difficult for the Ling Clan clan members to guess that this was related to the Immortal Spirit Crane King's Foundation Establishment.

As members of the Ling Clan clan, not one of them did not want the Immortal Spirit Crane King to Foundation Establishment, and these clan members all prayed that the Immortal Spirit Crane King could successfully Foundation Establishment.

Three days later, the strange phenomena on the Lingxiao Back Mountain ceased.

The Immortal Spirit Crane King, which had been asleep for nearly two months, opened its eyes the next moment, and a Foundation Establishment pressure surged from its body.

Ling Yunhong, who had been guarding the nest of the Immortal Spirit Crane King on the cliff, noticed this and was overjoyed.

"It's a success."

"With these two Foundation Establishment to protect our clan, our clan will prosper!"

Just as Ling Yunhong was overjoyed, the Immortal Spirit Crane King, who had successfully entered the Foundation Establishment, flew out of its nest and landed beside Ling Yunhong, who had been protecting it for many days. It cried out to Ling Yunhong several times with a grateful expression.

Through the Recognition of Ownership Restriction, Ling Yunhong also understood the meaning of the crane's words.

Ling Yunhong smiled, reached out and patted the body of the Immortal Spirit Crane King, and whispered.

"Protect our people well from now on."

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Spirit Crane King nodded firmly, indicating that he understood.

On the same day, several large tables of delicious dishes were set out in Lingxiao Mountain, and the whole clan celebrated together.

As for the fact that the Immortal Spirit Crane King had broken through to the Foundation Establishment, the Ling Clan's higher-ups neither publicized it nor prevented the matter from spreading.

In any case, the Ling Clan family was not the first Lineage in Huai River County to have Foundation Establishment Spirit Beast.

Furthermore, the Ling Clan Head is in his prime and possesses formidable strength, so he is not afraid of outsiders being wary of the Ling Clan.
