His thoughts returned to normal, and Ling Pengyun focused on the battle.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun fought for nearly a dozen moves with the Foundation Establishment Stage 1 mother wolf outside the mountain and seized an opportunity.

He swiftly summoned eighteen Azure Spirit Sword from his Storage Bag, forming the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation, and unleashed the Secret Method Sword Formation technique "Melt Word Swordplay Secret".

The eighteen swords combined into one, transforming into a three-zhang-long Sword-Ray that swiftly struck the mother wolf outside the mountain.

The mother wolf was already weaker than Ling Pengyun, and she struggled to withstand Ling Pengyun's attack of the Mother-Child Flying Swords and Water Serpent Technique.

Now, another enormous Sword-Ray has appeared, and the situation has suddenly become perilous.

Faced with imminent danger, the mother wolf had no choice but to raise her Protective Yuan Qi to block the incoming giant Sword-Ray.

But before the Protective Yuan Qi could withstand the three-zhang Sword-Ray condensed by the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation for even half a breath, a dazzling blue sword shadow directly struck the Protective Yuan Qi of the Foundation Establishment Level 1 mother wolf.

In just three breaths, the Protective Yuan Qi was shattered by the dazzling sword shadow.

Even though the Protective Yuan Qi the wolf was shattered, and the mother wolf spat out her inner core, which had been nurtured for a hundred years, to block the incoming dazzling flying sword, its head was still severed by the three-zhang Sword-Ray that the Sword Formation had conjured.

After achieving his goal, Ling Pengyun activated a Light Body Technique on himself and used three Primal Water Technique to create a Primal Water Light Screen that enveloped him. He then instructed the Sun Clan cultivators who were controlling the mountain's Defense Array to open a small opening in the light screen.

He then followed the small opening, Ling Pengyun transformed into a Qing Feng, quickly descending from the mountaintop to the group of Demon Beast below, directly storing the corpse of the Foundation Establishment Level 1 mother wolf he had just killed into his Storage Bag.

The urgency to collect the mother wolf's carcass was also due to the large number of Demon Beast outside the mountains.

The flesh and blood of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast is extremely tempting to Demon Beast, and it's inevitable that a few fearless demon Demon Beast will nibble on the mother wolf's corpse during battle.

After collecting the corpse of the Foundation Establishment mother wolf, he looked around at the surrounding group of Demon Beast, and finally his gaze settled on the large pack of Gale Wolf.

"Although my second aunt is Beast Tamer, her skill level in beast taming is only at the First Rank Low Grade. She can only use Aphrodisiac Technique and tame demonic Demon Beast in the Early-Stage Qi Training. Those Gale Wolf in the Qi Training Middle Stage and above are probably out of the question for my Ling Clan."

"However, my Ling Clan only needs those Gale Wolf to reproduce, not to fight. There is not much difference between Gale Wolf in the Early-Stage Qi Training and Qi Training Completion."

After careful consideration, Ling Pengyun relied on the four Primal Water Light Screen that protected his body to forcibly resist the attacks launched by the surrounding Demon Beast. His gaze swept over the hundreds of Qi Training Stage Gale Wolf around him, and he prioritized using the Entangling Technique to conjure up wooden vines to bind the Early-Stage Qi Training female wolves.

Then, several male wolves in the Early-Stage Qi Training were tied up.

Finally, they captured it alive and put it into three Beast Taming Pouch that had been prepared months in advance.

Having accomplished this task, he quickly returned to the Sun Family Clan Mountain.

Seeing that Luo Qiuming was still fighting the Foundation Establishment Third Layer wolf king, and that he needed to wait for Luo Qiuming to take him back to the Lineage by flying boat, he decided to help Sun Clan kill the Qi Training Demon Beast.

After several hundred breaths, Ling Pengyun had killed over a hundred Qi Training Demon Beast.

Luo Qiuming also ended his battle at this time, using the formation to kill the wolf king at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer.

The two originally intended to leave directly, but Sun Mingzhong pleaded with them to help Sun Clan eliminate the remaining Qi Training Demon Beast outside the mountain.

Seeing Sun Mingzhong's earnest request, Ling Pengyun and Luo Mingqiu decided to do him a favor and agreed.

With the help of these two powerful Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the dozen or so Qi Refining cultivators from the Sun Clan were killed in about an incense stick's time. Seven or eight hundred of the Qi Training Demon Beast outside the mountain were killed, while the remaining one or two hundred Qi Training Demon Beast escaped.

Once the matter of the Demon Beast horde is resolved, the Sun Family Clan Mountain will be safe.

Elder Sun Mingzhong the Sun Clan family, who had previously sought out Ling Pengyun and Luo Qiuming to come here to provide support, also walked up to Ling Pengyun and Luo Qiuming, waved his hand and took out two piles of Spirit Stone, placing them in front of Ling Pengyun and Luo Qiuming respectively, and said gratefully.

"Many thanks to the two seniors for extending a helping hand and helping the Sun Clan out of its predicament."

"Seniors, here are the three hundred Spirit Stone that we agreed upon earlier. As for the Qi Training Demon Beast that you killed this time, you can take them all."

Luo Qiuming glanced at Ling Pengyun beside him, and the two exchanged a few words through telepathy, eventually reaching a consensus.

He then spoke up, "This time, Fellow Ling Daoyou and I killed at least a hundred, if not two hundred, Qi Refining Qi Training Demon Beast. Such a number of Demon Beast is too large to fit in our Storage Bag."

"Now that it is the time of Demon Beast Uprising, it is difficult for Ling Daoyou and me to send a caravan from our Lineage across thousands of miles to this place to collect those Demon Beast corpses."

"Then I would like to trouble you, cultivator of the Sun Clan, to help me, Ling Daoyou, to cut off the materials from the batch of Qi Training Demon Beast that you killed."

"As for the flesh and blood of those Demon Beast, Fellow Ling Daoyou and I will sell all the flesh and blood from the Demon Beast at Qi Refining early, middle, late and perfect Qi Refining stages that we killed to your Lineage at low prices of one, two, three and five Spirit Stone respectively."

"I wonder if your esteemed Lineage would be willing to purchase this batch of Demon Beast flesh and blood?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Mingzhong's expression brightened with joy.

The flesh and blood of Demon Beast also have some value. The value of the flesh and blood and materials from ordinary Demon Beast is basically split in half or in a 30/70 ratio.

Although it is currently a time of Demon Beast Uprising, Demon Beast are extremely common, Demon Beast flesh and blood will depreciate in value on the market. However, the prices offered by Luo Qiuming and Ling Pengyun are simply too low.

With the idea of taking advantage of any opportunity, Sun Mingzhong said with a smile.

"Of course I'm willing. Please wait a moment, seniors."

After saying this, he ordered more than ten Sun Clan cultivators to go outside the mountain and harvest materials from the hundreds of Demon Beast outside the mountain.

He then led Ling Pengyun and Luo Qiuming to a reception hall at the foot of the Sun Family Clan Mountain, specially built to accommodate guests, to greet Ling Pengyun.

After Ling Pengyun and his companion waited for several hours, a cultivator from the Sun Clan delivered several Storage Bag to Sun Mingzhong.

Sun Mingzhong then handed the six Storage Bag to Ling Pengyun and Luo Qiuming respectively.

"Seniors, these six Storage Bag contain materials from the Qi Refining Qi Training Demon Beast that you two killed this time."

"As for the Spirit Stone in the Storage Bag, they are the flesh and blood from the Qi Training Demon Beast that the two seniors killed this time, which were sold to my Sun Clan family."

"Senior Ling killed more Qi Refining Qi Training Demon Beast. There were 175, 50, 25 and 50 demonic Demon Beast in the early, middle and late stages of Qi Refining respectively. The flesh and blood of these Demon Beast were sold to my Sun Clan for a total of 375 Spirit Stone."

"Senior Luo has slain nearly two hundred Qi Refining Qi Training Demon Beast, among which..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun channeled his Divine Sense into the three Storage Bag in his hand. Seeing that the quantity of Demon Beast materials Storage Bag was correct, he was slightly pleased.

He is currently extremely short of Spirit Stone.

After putting the three Storage Bag in his pocket, he then revealed another purpose for supporting the Sun Clan.

"Elder Sun, I have long heard that the Earth Silk Worm Silk produced by your Sun Clan is an excellent choice for making Daoist robes, array flags, and Law Artifact. I wonder if your Lineage could sell a batch of Earth Silk Worm Silk to my Ling Clan?"

The Defensive Formation the Ling Clan had set up in various Low-Order Spirit Vein within the territory had all suffered some damage after being bombarded by hordes of Demon Beast during this Demon Beast Uprising.

The best material for repairing the array flags that form a formation is fine Spirit Silk.

Earth Silk Worm Silk is one of the most suitable silks for refining earth-type magic array flags. Using this silk to repair the array flags can also slightly enhance the power of the Ling Clan's Defensive Formation.

"Senior Ling, our Sun Clan has a weak foundation. In recent years, the silk produced by our Earth Silk Spirit Silkworm has been sold off before the Demon Beast Uprising, and exchanged for other spiritual items to enhance the combat power of our clan's cultivators."

"It will be at least six months before our silkworms produce the next batch of silk."

"If Senior Ling is in urgent need, then we can only go to my Sun Clan's relatives, the Cheng Family, an old Foundation Establishment Family in Heaven River County. The Cheng Family raises several kinds of spirit silkworms, and the number of spirit silkworms they raise is enormous, so there must be silkworm silk left behind." Sun Mingzhong said with an apologetic look on his face.

"Six months is not a long time. After the silkworms produce silk, please leave me five catties of first-grade medium-grade Earth Silk Worm Silk and five catties of First-Tier Superior-Grade Earth Silk Worm Silk," Ling Pengyun said after thinking for a moment.

"Senior Ling, First Rank Middle Grade Earth Silk Worm Silk is easy to find, but my clan doesn't produce much first -First-Tier Superior-Grade Earth Silk Worm Silk each year. Long ago, Senior Luo's Lineage, the Falling Dusk Luo Clan, ordered several dozen catties of First-Tier Superior-Grade Earth Silk Worm Silk from my Sun Clan." Upon hearing this, Sun Mingzhong did not immediately respond, but instead showed a troubled expression and looked at Luo Qiuming beside him.

Ling Pengyun frowned, thinking to himself, "The Luo Qiuming, where Luo Clan Qiuming belongs, relies on array formations as its foundation, so refining array flags certainly requires a large amount of silk."

"So the Luo Clan and the Sun Clan had already cooperated before. No wonder Luo Qiuming acted as Sun Clan's advocate, asking me to support Sun Clan."

Just as Ling Pengyun was lost in thought for a moment, Luo Qiuming, who was standing to the side, also noticed that Ling Pengyun's expression was displeased. After thinking for a while, he said angrily.

"Elder Sun, please don't make things difficult for us. Ling Daoyou is only asking for a small amount of First-Tier Superior-Grade Earth Silk Worm Silk. In six months, the silk produced by your Sun Clan family's silkworm flock will be sold to Ling Daoyou's Lineage at a preferential price. My Luo Clan can wait."

"Then thank you very much, Luo Daoist Friend." Seeing that Luo Qiuming had agreed, Ling Pengyun didn't stand on ceremony and expressed his gratitude.

Then, he turned to Sun Mingzhong and asked, "Elder Sun, what is the deposit for the pre-ordered silk?"

"I trust Senior Ling's character, so the deposit is waived. You can pay it when you come to my Sun Clan to collect the silk six months later," Sun Mingzhong.

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun held Sun Mingzhong even higher regard.

"Luo Daoist Friend, now that the matter of supporting the Sun Clan is settled, shouldn't we return to Huai River County?" Ling Pengyun said to Luo Qiuming.

"That's natural," Luo Qiuming replied.

The two agreed not to linger in the Sun Clan's reception hall. After bidding farewell to Sun Mingzhong, Luo Qiuming summoned a flying boat and boarded Ling Pengyun to quickly return to Huai River County.

Within a few hours, Luo Qiuming used his flying boat to transport Ling Pengyun to the foot of Lingxiao Mountain.

After exchanging a few polite words, Luo Qiuming then commanded his flying boat and left the area.

Ling Pengyun watched them go for a while before entering Lingxiao Mountain.
