The next moment, Ling Yunhong turned to look at Ling Pengyun, who was sitting at the left of the long table in the Council Hall, with a worried look between his brows, and said to comfort him.

"Peng Yun, you don't need to worry too much about the battle to kill the Foundation Establishment Completion Demon Beast. If anything changes during the battle, I will have the Immortal Spirit Crane King carry us away."

"I'll handle this." Ling Pengyun, who was sitting to Ling Yunhong's left, hesitated for a moment before nodding in response.

This demon-hunting expedition is for the future development of the Lineage, and as a cultivator of the Lineage, he naturally has to do his part.

Furthermore, he had only used his spiritual power to activate the Mixed Rock Shield to create a defensive light barrier; for escaping, the Immortal Spirit Crane King was there.

The flying speed of the Immortal Spirit Crane King is among the top of Flying Demonic Beast. With the Immortal Spirit Crane King around, as long as you are not killed in an instant, you have a chance to escape.

"It's good that you agreed. Although we are all members of the Ling Clan clan, you have risked your life for the Lineage, and the Lineage will not treat you unfairly. For your participation in this battle, the Lineage will give you five Spirit Gathering Pill as a reward. After this meeting, you can go to the Eleventh Uncle's Affairs Hall to collect them." Ling Yunhong was delighted to see Ling Pengyun's reply and said.

"As for the time to go to Serpent Dragon Lake to hunt Foundation Establishment Completion Demon Beast, it is set for next spring. After all, it is currently the dead of winter. During the dead of winter, most Demon Beast are in their caves, hibernating and cultivating. They rarely go out, which is not conducive to finding Foundation Establishment Completion Demon Beast to kill."

"When spring comes, Yang Changxing will come to the outside of the Clan Mountain. At that time, we can go to Serpent Dragon Lake with him."

"Okay." Ling Pengyun naturally wouldn't refuse the reward and nodded in agreement.

"The two most important things have been discussed at this year-end meeting. Eleventh Uncle, you will be in charge of summarizing the Lineage's various aspects this year," Ling Yunhong said.

Ling Ruxian heard the call and then snapped out of his regret, recounting in detail the increase in the number of cultivators in the Lineage this year, the harvest of Spirit Plant, and various expenditures and incomes.

The conclusion was that at the beginning of the year, the Lineage had not made any profit in order to help Ling Pengyun and Ling Pengxing each purchase a Second Rank Low Grade Law Artifact; on the contrary, they had overdrawn more than a thousand Spirit Stone from the Clan Repository.

This was of no concern to the Lineage's senior members inside the Council Hall.

After all, Ling Pengyun and Ling Pengxing both had reached the Foundation Establishment, so it was only right that their Lineage be equipped with a Second Grade Magic Tool.

Ling Ruxian, who oversees all Lineage affairs, summarized the Lineage's various aspects this year, the year-end meeting came to an end.

Just as Ling Pengyun was about to leave the Council Hall, he was stopped by Ling Yunhong.

"Peng Yun, come with me to the study in the Cultivation Abode on the mountaintop."

Ling Pengyun was puzzled upon hearing this, but he didn't ask any further questions. He obediently followed Ling Yunhong into the study of the Cultivation Abode on the mountaintop.

Upon entering the study, Ling Yunhong took down two yellowed books from the only bookshelf in the study, and then summoned eighteen First-Tier Superior-Grade Azure Spirit Sword of the same origin and a Spirit Talisman Cave that shimmered with a light blue spiritual light from his Storage Bag, and handed them to Ling Pengyun, introducing them to him.

"Peng Yun, one of these two books records the method of operating the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation Melt Word Swordplay Secret."

"Another book records three Second Rank Low Grade Law Technique: Wind Control Technique, Primal Water Technique, and Water Serpent Technique. These three Law Technique are all the second-tier Law Technique in the clan."

"The reason why there are so few second-tier Law Technique in the clan is because the Lineage was only Qi Refining Lineage more than ten years ago. There were no Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the clan who could use second-tier Law Technique, so we did not search for these second-tier Law Technique. Lineage only found these three Law Technique after I entered the Foundation Establishment."

"I know that you are skilled in Law Technique and that you are pursuing a path of Spell Cultivator. Not long ago, I entrusted your Eighteenth Grandfather to inform the clansmen who manage the shops to keep an eye on the second-tier Law Technique when he leads the Clan Mountain to various markets and shops in the Lineage to transport supplies."

"These eighteen First-Tier Superior-Grade Azure Spirit Sword belong to the same set. I forged them a few days ago. Now that you have entered the Foundation Establishment, your Divine Sense has greatly increased, which is enough to control more Azure Spirit Sword and form the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation."

"Although this set of flying swords is not of high grade, it is better than your original set. Make do with it for now. After a few years, when the Lineage has accumulated some Spirit Stone, we will look for a second-tier attack Law Artifact for you."

"As for this Spirit Talisman Cave, it is Primal Water Talisman. Like the Primal Water Technique, it can conjure Primal Water Light Screen to defend against enemies. This item is given to you for self-defense during your trip to Serpent Dragon Lake to kill Foundation Establishment Completion Demon Beast at the beginning of spring."

"Those two books are the same as when I gave you the Azure Sea True Scripture. You must write down the contents of these two books here and not take them out to prevent them from being leaked."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun's expression brightened.

He vividly remembered the power of the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation's Melt Word Swordplay Secret.

Back then, when he followed Ling Yunhong to hunt Demon Beast in Serpent Dragon Lake, he witnessed Ling Yunhong using this sword technique to kill Foundation Establishment Demon Beast quite often.

Second-tier Law Technique are powerful Law Technique that only Foundation Establishment Cultivator can cast. They are several times more powerful than first-tier Law Technique and have extremely strong power.

Ling Pengyun was originally a cultivator of Spell Cultivator, and to obtain second-tier Law Technique was as if he had divine assistance. Moreover, among those three second-tier Law Technique, there were two Water-based Spell that he was most proficient in.

Of course, he also understood that this was no coincidence, as Ling Yunhong and he both Cultivation Method the Azure Sea True Scripture, which belongs to the water Cultivation Method.

Moreover, those three Law Technique were originally searched by Ling Yunhong for the Hui people. When he was searching, he would definitely prioritize searching for Law Technique that were suitable for his own Cultivation Method. The Wind Control Technique is an essential dash Law Technique for Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

As for the Primal Water Talisman, it is the most precious Defensive Spirit Talisman among Spirit Talisman Cave, rarely seen on the market, and can be considered a life-saving spiritual item.

"Thank Third Grandfather." Ling Pengyun accepted the two books, eighteen flying swords, and Spirit Talisman Cave handed over by Ling Yunhong and expressed his gratitude.

Ling Yunhong waved his hand and said.

"No need to thank me. There are still nearly two months until we follow Yang Clan Yang Changxing of the Yang Clan into the Serpent Dragon Lake to hunt Foundation Establishment Completion Demon Beast at the beginning of spring. You should prepare well during these two months."

"Spend more time studying the Wind Control Technique and the Primal Water Technique. Law Technique can put aside the Melt Word Swordplay Secret and the Water Serpent Technique Law Technique now. I will protect you during the battle. If anything changes, I will take you away immediately. You don't need to worry about not having any powerful offensive means to protect yourself."

"I understand, Third Grandfather," Ling Pengyun replied.

"Make sure you memorize the method of operating the Melt Word Swordplay Secret Law Technique the methods of casting those three spells. Once you have memorized them, put those two books on the bookshelf and you can leave. I will not accompany you any longer."

After saying this, Ling Yunhong turned and left the study, entering the Meditation Room within the Cultivation Abode, which was equipped with Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Formation, and went to meditate and cultivate.

After Ling Yunhong left, Ling Pengyun sat down at the only desk in the study and began to look through the book that recorded three second-tier Law Technique.

As he gazed at the descriptions of the three Law Technique— Wind Control Technique, Primal Water Technique, and Water Serpent Technique— in this ancient text, his eyes shone brightly, and he muttered to himself with anticipation.

"If I can master the defensive Primal Water Technique and the offensive Water Serpent Technique to perfection and achieve instantaneous casting, even without Second Rank Low Grade offensive magic Law Artifact, my combat power will not be weaker than that of cultivators of the same level, and may even be stronger."

As for the future, Ling Pengyun was quite confident that he could cultivate these two extremely difficult second-tier Law Technique to perfection.

His talent in water-based Law Technique is the highest.

The fact that he mastered the five Law Technique— Water Thorn Technique, Water Shield Technique, Water Arrow Technique, Water Shield Technique, and Water Blade Technique— to perfection during his Qi Training Stage is the best proof of this.

With his thoughts returning to their own, Ling Pengyun's attention once again turned to the classic texts.

After memorizing the method of operating the Melt Word Swordplay Secret and the method of casting the three second-tier Law Technique, he carefully returned the two books to the bookshelf as Ling Yunhong had instructed.

He then left the place without lingering.

Once outside the cave abode, Ling Pengyun quickly headed down the mountain.

As for the powerful clouds and mist at the mountaintop that could obscure one's Divine Sense, they were nothing to Ling Pengyun, Divine Sense had greatly increased after entering the Foundation Establishment.

Not long after, Ling Pengyun descended to the mountainside.

However, he did not immediately return to his own courtyard, but went straight to the Affairs Hall and sought out Ling Ruxian, the Great Elder of the Ling Clan who was in charge of personnel transfers within the Lineage.

"Peng Yun, are you here to collect your salary for next year and your reward for the trip to Serpent Dragon Lake?" Ling Ruxian, puzzled, upon seeing Ling Pengyun arrive shortly after they parted ways in the Council Hall.

Ling Pengyun looked around, and when he saw that no one was around, he began to explain.

"That's true, but the matter of receiving salary and rewards is secondary. My main purpose is to talk to you, my Eleventh Great Grandfather, about the Fifteenth Great Grandfather who is stationed at the Lingxiao Rice Hall in the Cloud Mist Market."

"Do you want your fifteenth brother to be transferred back to the Lineage?" Ling Ruxian understood upon hearing this.

"Just as my Eleventh Great Grandfather said, that is indeed what I think."

"My Fifteenth Great Grandfather was already old and didn't have much time left. In addition, Fifteenth Great Grandfather had taken great care of me when I was young and my parents."

"Eleventh Great Grandfather, does the Lineage have anyone who can take over the management of the Lingxiao Rice Hall in the Cloud Mist Market from the Fifteenth Great Grandfather, so that the Fifteenth Great Grandfather can return to the clan and enjoy his old age in peace?" Ling Pengyun did not hide his thoughts and spoke his mind.

Upon Ling Ruxian quite admired Ling Pengyun's actions.

He thought of Ling Pengqiu, who had recently entered the Qi Training Middle Stage, coming to the Affairs Hall looking for a task, which would be a good opportunity to replace a member of the Yun Generation and oversee a Low-Order Spirit Vein. His brows furrowed with joy, and he began to speak.

"In recent years, due to the discovery of many people with Spirit Root, the manpower of the clan has been relieved. At the beginning of next year, one of your Yun Generation Ancestor will be freed from the task of guarding the Low-Order Spirit Vein. At that time, I will talk to your Yun Generation Ancestor."

"Furthermore, managing the Lingxiao Rice Hall Cloud Mist Market is a leisurely job, so there's an eight or nine out of ten chance this matter will succeed."

"Then I thank my Eleventh Great Grandfather." Ling Pengyun cupped his hands in thanks.

"It's nothing." Ling Ruxian didn't seem to care about it, waving his hand and saying.

Ling Rushui been managing the Lingxiao Rice Hall in the Cloud Lingxiao Rice Hall Cloud Mist Market for quite some time, and Ling Rushui was indeed getting old, so it was time for him to be transferred back to the Clan Mountain.

Even if Ling Pengyun hadn't said anything this time, he would have Ling Rushui to the clan within three years, allowing him to enjoy his later years in peace.

This action can be seen as doing someone a favor.

After resolving the matter of Ling Rushui to the Clan Mountain, Ling Pengyun chatted with Ling Ruxian for a few more minutes, received his salary for the coming year, and eleven Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Pill for accompanying Ling Yunhong to Serpent Dragon Lake to hunt Foundation Establishment Completion Demon Beast. He then left the Affairs Hall and returned to his quiet room in his courtyard.

Upon entering the quiet room, Ling Pengyun took out the Azure Spirit Sword set he had been using before, as well as the Azure Spirit Sword set that Ling Yunhong had just given him.

After removing the Divine Sense imprints that had been placed on the original set of twelve Azure Spirit Sword, he put them back into his Storage Bag.

He channeled his Divine Sense into the eighteen Azure Spirit Sword he had just acquired, and refined them.

Those eighteen Azure Spirit Sword were, after all, only First-Tier Superior-Grade flying swords, not high-grade.

Ling Pengyun's Divine Sense had already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. In the past, it would have taken him several months to refine a set of Azure Spirit Sword, but now it only took him less than three days.

After refining the sword, Ling Pengyun put it into his Storage Bag, then closed his eyes again and, according to his memory, began to comprehend the method of casting the Water Element Technique that he had recorded in the study of the Cultivation Abode on the mountaintop.

After studying this technique for six hours, he stopped and turned to study the other Law Technique, "Wind Control Technique," which was one of the two Law Technique Ling Yunhong had entrusted to him.

In the days that followed.

Aside from absorbing the power of the First Sun and Moonlight Power at dawn and dusk, Ling Pengyun spent his time diligently cultivating the two second-tier Law Technique, Primal Water Technique and Wind Control Technique.

As for improving one's cultivation level and comprehending the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation, those can be postponed.
