After traveling for five days and crossing tens of thousands of miles, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong finally returned to Ling Clan Mountain Lingxiao Mountain.

Because Ling Yunhong, named Foundation Establishment Cultivator, escorted her home, everything was peaceful all the way.

As soon as they returned to Lingxiao Mountain, the two went straight to the Affairs Hall halfway up the mountain.

Affairs Hall.

Standing at the counter, Ling Clan Great Elder Ling Ruxian checked Lineage's account book and saw Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun return to Clan Mountain, looking happy.

But after a quick glance, he discovered that there was a child he had never seen before standing next to them. There was a look of doubt on his face, and he asked three questions in succession.

"Yun Hong, Peng Yun, is it safe for you to return from Lingyun Mountain?"

"Did Yun Liu arrive safely in Lingyun Mountain?"

"Who is this child?"

"Everything is safe. This child's name is Ling Xin and he owns Spirit Root. He was found by Peng Yun on January 1 this year in the Spirit Testing Convention held in the mortal city Lingyun Small City next to Lingyun Mountain."

Ling Yunhong touched the head of little Ling Xin who was a little shy and said with a smile.

"It's a good thing to have one more clan member with Spirit Root." Hearing this, Ling Ruxian looked at little Ling Xin, the smile on his face became even happier, and he said kindly.

"Eleventh Uncle, during the days I left, did anything big happen at home?" Ling Yunhong asked.

"There are no big things. As for the small things, there are a lot of them. The other races in Huai River County have also undergone some changes in the past two years. I can't finish them all in a short while." Ling Ruxian said.

Ling Yunhong frowned, thought about it carefully, and then suggested.

"It happens that I haven't been in the clan for two years. At nightfall, I summon you and the other elders in the clan to go to the Council Hall. You can talk to me together."

"Okay." Ling Ruxian nodded.

"Eleventh Uncle, I have nothing to do, so I will leave here first." Ling Yunhong nodded and left the place.

Ling Ruxian, Ling Pengyun, and little Ling Xin watched Ling Yunhong leave before they started chatting.

"Peng Yun, I see that your aura is three times stronger than when I met you two years ago. Have you entered the realm of Qi Training Ninth Layer?" Ling Ruxian noticed a change in Ling Pengyun's aura, raised his eyebrows, and asked.

"Yes, two years ago I bought three bottles of Evergreen Spirit Water on top of Cloud Water Gathering. Relying on these three bottles of Evergreen Spirit Water, my great-grandson made a lucky breakthrough." Ling Pengyun briefly talked about his cultivation, and then expressed his demands.

"Eleventh Great Grandfather, now my cultivation level has reached Qi Training Ninth Layer, and I have also completed the five-year mission of stationing Lingyun Mountain. I have no more missions, so I just want to apply to you for a long period of time without going out to do missions and to be in retreat in the clan."

"Spiritual Qi is rich in Clan Mountain. If I can practice in the clan for a long time, it will be of great benefit to me in purifying my spiritual power and stepping into Qi Training Completion."

Ling Pengyun has never been secretive about his cultivation. Lineage will only pay attention to it if his cultivation improves quickly.

And if you don't accept Lineage tasks for a long time and stay in seclusion for a long time, this is something that every Ling Clan clan member can do.

However, only when a critical bottleneck is reached can one apply for long-term seclusion from the clan.

For example, it takes a long time for Qi Training Third Layer Peak to break through to Qi Training Fourth Layer and enter Qi Training Middle Stage, Qi Training Sixth Layer peaks to break through to Qi Training Seventh Layer, etc. These are key bottlenecks.

"This is a good thing. I agree that you will stay in seclusion in the clan for a long time." Ling Ruxian frowned slightly when he heard this, and nodded in agreement after hesitating.

"However, the maximum time for this retreat is ten years. Within ten years, if you have not purified all the spiritual power in Dantian to Qi Training Completion, you will need to work for Lineage again. Lineage is too short of manpower, and there are too many Spirit Vein, and you are still Spirit Planter."

"Ten years is enough." Ling Pengyun felt happy and thanked Ling Ruxian.

Not to mention ten years, even if he is given five years, he is sure to purify all the spiritual power in Dantian and step into Qi Refining Consummation Realm.

There is a reason why Ling Pengyun can purify spiritual power so quickly because of the difficult problems that often keep ordinary Qi Training Ninth Layer monks from purifying their spiritual power for ten or even decades.

The main reason is that the Cultivation Method he practices is the Ling Clan ancestral Cultivation Method "Azure Sea True Scripture" Qi Refining chapter Azure Water Art.

Although Azure Water Art is the Qi Refining chapter of Azure Sea True Scripture, it is much better than the ordinary Qi Refining Cultivation Method.

During ordinary cultivation, the spiritual power absorbed by Spiritual Qi's purified behavior is inherently more condensed than the spiritual power purified by ordinary monks.

Under such circumstances, Ling Pengyun now wants to compress his spiritual power to the limit. The difficulty of stepping into the Consummation Realm is naturally easier than that of ordinary monks.

"Ten years is enough time. When I went to Lingyun Mountain two and a half years ago, your Natal Spirit Plant Thorn Vine was already in Qi Training Late Stage. In the past two years, have you made any progress in Lingxiao Ripening Technique?" Ling Ruxian asked.

"Yes, now I have entered the third level of Lingxiao Ripening Technique and barely upgraded the level of Spirit Plant to First-Tier Superior-Grade." Ling Pengyun said.

After hearing this, Ling Ruxian was immediately overjoyed.

"Good boy, I was right about you at the time. At the age of twenty-six First Rank High Grade Spirit Plant Farmer, your promotion speed in Spirit Plant is far faster than that of me back then. It is even several years faster than Yun Hong. I am relieved that Lineage Spirit Plant will be in your hands in the future."

Ling Ruxian said this, Ling Pengyun's eyes focused, and he mobilized Divine Sense to sweep over Ling Ruxian.

Immediately, he noticed that Ling Ruxian had a somewhat frivolous aura, and his cultivation was also passing extremely slowly.

This situation, for a monk, means that his life is short, and now he is relying on his cultivation to delay his life.

Once the cultivation base is exhausted, the monks will not have a few good days to live.

"Eleventh Great Grandfather, your body?" Ling Pengyun asked with a worried look on his brow.

Ling Ruxian smiled kindly and said.

"With my current physical condition, I will have no problem surviving for five or six years, nor will I have any problem for seven or eight years. Being able to live to this age is a good start for us monks. Maybe I can see you try Foundation Establishment with that boy Peng Xing."

Ling Ruxian That's right. Qi Refining The lifespan limit of a monk is generally around 120 years old.

But due to Cultivation World various factors, it is considered a great thing for ordinary monks to live to be a hundred years old.

To live one hundred and fifteen or six years is indeed a good start and a good end.

It's just that although this is true, Ling Ruxian, who has treated me like a great-grandfather and has given me a lot of help over the years, has not long left to live, and Ling Pengyun feels uncomfortable.

This reminded him of his parents, including the elder Ling Rushui who was just like Ling Ruxian and treated him very well.

Although Ling Rushui's life is short, due to Lineage's shortage of manpower, he is still managing the store opened by Lineage in Cloud Mist Market in the Cloud Mist Wen Clan's territory.

He felt something in his heart and was distracted for a moment.

When he came to his senses, he took out a bottle of Fruit Flower Honey that Lieutenant General Storage Bag had prepared to give to Ling Ruxian, and handed it to Ling Ruxian.

"Eleventh great-grandfather, I don't have much to offer. This bottle of first-grade medium-grade fruit nectar produced by the fruit-flower bees that I raised in captivity tastes much better than the first-grade low-grade fruit nectar I gave you. Please don't dislike it, eleventh-great-grandfather."

"How could I despise such a good thing? You are serious, Peng Yun, where are your Fruit Flower Bee groups going to settle down?" Ling Ruxian was very satisfied when he saw this. He reached out to take the bottle of Fruit Flower Honey and asked.

"There is already a group of Rainbow Cloud Butterfly in captivity among Clan Mountain, and they need to feed on the pollen of the fruit trees in the tribe. Under such circumstances, I plan to settle the group of Fruit Flower Bee in the 100,000-acre orchard outside Lingxiao Small City not far from Clan Mountain." Before Ling Pengyun returned to the tribe, he had already thought about the place where the Fruit Flower Bee group would settle, and he said it directly.

Rainbow Cloud Spirit Butterfly is an extremely rare spiritual butterfly that can enter the upper level. It feeds on the pollen of various flowers during the day to improve its cultivation.

Although it cannot brew Spirit Honey with pollen, it is stronger than Fruit Flower Worker Bee.

This butterfly can cast illusions to confuse opponents, and works wonders with Bewildering Formation mastered by the Ling Clan.

However, it is extremely difficult for Rainbow Cloud Spirit Butterfly to reproduce. The pair of Rainbow Cloud Spirit Butterfly that Ling Clan obtained a hundred years ago has reproduced to this day, which has only expanded the spirit butterfly group to twenty.

Because this group of Rainbow Cloud Butterfly is not large in number and many of them have low cultivation level, only Early-Stage Qi Training, Lineage does not allocate Rainbow Cloud Spirit Butterfly and other Spirit Beast who can cast illusions to the tribe, but gives the Rainbow Cloud Spirit Butterfly tribe to Fifth Elder Ling Yunxi.

If there is an incoming enemy, Ling Yunxi named First Rank Middle Grade Array Formation Master, or after turning on Clan Protection Array, arrange the next First Rank Middle Grade Bewildering Formation to cooperate with the group of Rainbow Cloud Spirit Butterfly to cause some interference to the incoming enemy.

"Although there are many fruit trees planted in the 100,000 acres of orchards outside Lingxiao Small City, it is completely enough to keep Fruit Flower Worker Bee in captivity, but those fruit trees are just ordinary fruit trees, and there is not a single spiritual fruit tree. If the group of Fruit Flower Worker Bee is kept there, it may limit the development and growth of the Fruit Flower Bee group."

"I have a suggestion, which is to put your group of Fruit Flower Bee into Clan Mountain."

"There are many first-order spiritual trees planted in Clan Mountain, and there is also a Stone Spirit Walnut Tree of Second Rank Low Grade. These spiritual fruit trees bloom a lot of fruit flowers every spring. If your group of Fruit Flower Bee can collect the pollen from the flowers of the spiritual fruit trees in the mountains and brew it into Spirit Honey, it will be of great benefit to the development of the bee colony and to you."

"However, if the Fruit Flower Bee group is allowed to enter Clan Mountain to collect pollen, it will inevitably slow down the cultivation progress of Lineage's captive group Rainbow Cloud Spirit Butterfly who also feed on flower pollen."

"Therefore, every year, according to the number of Fruit Flower Worker Bee in your Fruit Flower Bee group, each Fruit Flower Honey of the first grade must be handed over to Lineage at five taels to make up for the slow progress of the Rainbow Cloud Spirit Butterfly group. Do you think it is okay?"

Ling Pengyun was quite moved by this proposal and thought about it in his mind.

"If the Fruit Flower Bee swarm can collect the pollen from those first-level spiritual fruit trees in Clan Mountain, and even the Second Rank Low Grade Stone Spirit Walnut Tree, in the spring, it will definitely be able to brew Fruit Flower Honey from Higher Vehicle, and the five Qi Training Middle Stage in the swarm Fruit Flower Worker Bee can also be brewed into First Rank Middle Grade Fruit Flower Honey."

"At that time, there will be a large number of first-level lower-level Higher Vehicle and mid-level Fruit Flower Honey feeding back into the bee swarm. The number of Qi Training Middle Stage worker bees in the bee swarm will definitely double."

"With more Qi Training Middle Stage worker bees, the First Rank Middle Grade Fruit Flower Honey produced will also increase. The First Rank Low Grade Fruit Bee honey turned over to Lineage can be completely compensated by a large number of high-grade Fruit Flower Honey."

No matter what grade of Fruit Flower Worker Bee you collect, you can only brew First Rank Low Grade Spirit Honey from any fruit tree pollen. If you want to brew a first-grade mid- or high-grade Fruit Flower Honey, you need the spiritual pollen from the flowers of the spiritual fruit tree.

Without spiritual pollen, it would be difficult to brew Fruit Flower Honey above First Rank Middle Grade.
