"Oh right, I almost forgot about the Spirit Stone while we were chatting earlier," Ling Yunhong Ling Pengyun said again while Ling Pengyun was lost in thought.

After saying that, he took out the 13,500 spirit stones he had previously earned from Guo Changsheng, the head of the Guo family in Huangyan, Bingjiao County, by relying on the Qiuyun Secret Technique from his storage bag at his waist.

Once these 13,500 Spirit Stone left the outside world, they piled up into a small hill, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi became even more concentrated.

"Peng Yun, according to Lineage rules, regardless of the level of the spiritual item or Secret Method, if it is sold through Lineage channels, 10% of the profits must be handed over to the Lineage. Are you willing to accept this?"

"Of course I accept." Ling Pengyun answered immediately without any hesitation when asked.

As things stand, the fact that the Autumn Cloud Secret Method transaction went so smoothly can be attributed entirely to Ling Yunhong.

If it weren't for Ling Yunhong, a Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment expert, overseeing the transaction, the trade for the Autumn Cloud Secret Method would have already begun.

Furthermore, Ling Pengyun will be under Ling Yunhong's protection for the last two years he stays in Lingyun Mountain.

The 10% of profits allocated to the Lineage can be considered protection money.

This protection fee cannot be spared.

Ling Yunhong was quite satisfied with Ling Pengyun's response.

He waved his hand and scooped a small pile of Spirit Stone Spirit Stone from the large pile on the ground into his Storage Bag, leaving the Spirit Stone for Ling Pengyun.

"If you agree, that's good. The Autumn Cloud Secret Method sold for a total of 13,500 Spirit Stone. The Lineage will receive 10%, which is 1,350 Spirit Stone. I will take that Spirit Stone directly, and the remaining 12,150 Spirit Stone will all go to you."

"Third Grandfather, two years ago, you bought me three bottles of Cloud Forest Spirit Water. The Eighteenth Grandfather said that once I had Spirit Stone, I should hand them over to the clan at a price of three hundred Spirit Stone per bottle of Cloud Forest Spirit Water. Now that I have a lot of Spirit Stone, I will first hand over the nine hundred Spirit Stone that I owed to you, Third Grandfather." Ling Pengyun glanced at the large pile of Spirit Stone in front of him, pondered for a moment, and used his Object Manipulation Technique to draw out a small pile of spirit water and push it in front of Ling Yunhong.

Then, Ling Pengyun asked hesitantly.

"Third Grandfather, I wonder if your promise back then—that I could jointly purchase the second-grade Hundred Spirits Water with the Lineage —still stands?"

"Of course it counts. I prepared it for you long ago. However, the Hundred Spirits Water is too precious, so I didn't keep it on me. It's in the clan." Ling Yunhong said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun was immediately thrilled.

Although Hundred Spirits Water is a second-rate Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, it can only increase a cultivator's chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishment by 10%. However, with this extra 10% chance, there's no guarantee that one can successfully break through to Foundation Establishment.

Such spiritual objects are what Qi Refining cultivators crave most, and Ling Pengyun is no exception.

"Thank you for your trouble, Third Grandfather." Ling Pengyun bowed to Ling Yunhong gratefully.

"It's alright. Preparing Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object for clansmen like you who have the opportunity to Foundation Establishment is what the Lineage should do. Besides, the Hundred Spirits Water prepared for you was very easy to obtain and did not cost any Spirit Stone," Ling Yunhong said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun was immediately puzzled. How could one obtain a spiritual item like Hundred Spirits Water without spending Spirit Stone?

"Could it be... an ambush!"

Once such a dangerous thought crossed his mind, Ling Pengyun dared not indulge in further fantasies.

As for asking questions, I dare not do that.

With his thoughts back in order, Ling Pengyun looked at the remaining ten thousand Spirit Stone in front of him, used his Object Manipulation Technique again to move all ten thousand Spirit Stone in front of Ling Yunhong, and spoke.

"Third Grandfather, since you have already prepared the Hundred Spirits Water for me, I will hand over the five thousand Spirit Stone that I jointly invested with the Lineage to purchase the Hundred Spirits Water to you."

"In addition, I would like to ask you to use the five thousand Spirit Stone I gave you to purchase a Second Rank High Grade Meridian Protecting Pill for me."

"Buying the Meridian Protecting Pill is a small matter. Supreme Elder Yang Changxing of the Yang Clan next to Lingyun Mountain, who has Pill Refining his livelihood, can refine this Meridian Protecting Pill. I will make a trip there in a few days and I should be able to buy it."

"As for the Hundred Spirits Water I prepared for you, although it didn't cost Spirit Stone, I did take a certain risk, so it's only right that I accept Spirit Stone. However, you don't need to pay that many Spirit Stone; four thousand Spirit Stone will suffice. Most Hundred Spirits Water on the market costs between eight and nine thousand Spirit Stone."

"It is wise of you to prepare spiritual items like the Meridian Protecting Pill in advance. In the past two years, including after you completed your mission of guarding Lingyun Mountain and returned to the Clan Mountain, you should cultivate diligently within the clan. If you can reach the Foundation Establishment, the Lineage will have one more Foundation Establishment, and our Ling Clan will surely go further."

Ling Yunhong nodded in response. After speaking in detail, he did not take all 10,900 Spirit Stone that Ling Pengyun had just handed over. Instead, he only took 9,900 Spirit Stone and left 1,000 on the ground.

"I understand, Third Grandfather," Ling Pengyun said solemnly.

After saying that, he put the thousand Spirit Stone that Ling Yunhong had not put away, along with another small pile of Spirit Stone, into his Storage Bag.

After Ling Pengyun collected all 2,250 Spirit Stone from the ground, Ling Yunhong pointed to the only Bamboo House on the mountaintop and spoke.

"We've talked too much. Please arrange a quiet room for me."

Ling Pengyun nodded slightly and led Ling Yunhong into the Bamboo House.

He considered that Ling Yunhong would be spending most of his time Pill Refining over the next two years and would need an extremely quiet environment.

Ling Pengyun himself had to go out of the Bamboo House every day to water the Spirit Plant in the twenty-two acres of Spirit Field in the mountains with Spirit Rain. Entering and leaving the Bamboo House inevitably caused some noise.

If Ling Yunhong lived on the first floor of the Bamboo House, the noise from these people going in and out of the Bamboo House might affect his Pill Refining Ling Yunhong.

Considering this situation, Ling Pengyun arranged for Ling Yunhong to stay on the second floor.

His own activity area is on the first floor.

After arranging their respective activity areas, Ling Yunhong bid farewell to Ling Pengyun and went up to the second floor of the Bamboo House alone to Pill Refining.

Ling Pengyun sat cross-legged in the main hall of the Bamboo House building and began to comprehend the secret Ripening Technique " for Spirit Plant Secret Method.

He didn't stop until nightfall. After absorbing a mouthful of Moonlight Power and refining two batches of Azure Bamboo Sword, he finally swallowed the spiritual fruit and began to circulate his cultivation Cultivation Method. Relying on the spiritual power contained within the fruit, he continuously compressed and purified the spiritual power in his Dantian Dantian.

Ling Pengyun's cultivation had reached the Qi Training Ninth Layer. He only needed to refine his cultivation to reach the Qi Training Completion, and then he could try to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. So he temporarily put aside things like comprehending the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation and comprehending Law Technique to enhance his strength.

Re-plan your time.

As the sun rises, it absorbs a breath of the First Sun Power.

Irrigate the Spirit Field.

To comprehend the Lingxiao Ripening Technique.

Forging the Azure Spirit Sword.

Cultivation.

Every day, he followed this plan and practiced asceticism.

That night, Ling Pengyun, the creator of the Autumn Cloud Spirit Rice Secret Method, was spared some life-threatening dangers thanks to the presence of the powerful cultivator Ling Yunhong in Lingyun Mountain, allowing him to cultivate in peace.

However, during the daytime, Guo Changsheng, who had already won the Autumn Cloud Secret Method at a high price in Lingyun Mountain, was attacked by eight Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the same time.

In a dense forest, Guo Changsheng, who was rapidly running across the ground with the Second Rank Low Grade Law Technique Wind Control Technique, covering tens of feet at a time, felt the eight cultivators chasing him getting closer and closer, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"After this, we must gather Spirit Stone to buy a flying boat that can travel ten thousand miles a day, otherwise the speed of the Wind Control Technique is too slow."

"Fortunately, the eight Foundation Establishment Cultivator were chasing me all came from the Foundation Establishment Family with weak foundations, and none of them had Spirit Stone to buy a second-tier flying boat."

"Given the current situation, the only way to escape Demon Extermination War predicament is to use the Second Rank Low Grade Wind Riding Talisman that I obtained from the Hundred Spirits Sect at a high cost of Contribution Points for my life-saving purpose during the Demon Extermination War."

Second-tier flying boats are generally 30% more expensive than ordinary Law Artifact of the same tier, and are extremely expensive.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator may not even be able to gather both offensive and defensive Law Artifact, let alone a second-tier flying boat.

The Foundation Establishment Family to which Guo Changsheng and the eight Foundation Establishment Cultivator who pursued him belonged were not the kind of Lineage with profound foundations.

These Foundation Establishment Cultivator, backed by such a powerful Foundation Establishment Family, are already quite fortunate if they can gather two Law Artifact for both offense and defense.

Having made up his mind, Guo Changsheng summoned a Spirit Talisman Cave covered with cyan runes from his Storage Bag.

As soon as he took out the talisman, he slapped it onto his body.

Once the Wind Control Technique was activated, it flashed with a blue light.

A series of strong winds suddenly surged around Guo Changsheng, propelling Guo Changsheng body forward.

With the combined effects of his own Wind Control Technique and the Wind Riding Talisman, Guo Changsheng's speed increased exponentially.

In just a few hours, he had shaken off his pursuers.

They then traveled tens of thousands of miles through Huai River County and successfully returned to Huangyan Ridge, the territory of the Guo Lineage in Ice Flood Dragon County.
