Arrangements for the Spirit Pool

These three formations are all of the First Rank Middle Grade, namely the Water Storage Array, the Spirit Isolation Array, and the Spirit Gathering Formation.

The former will not be activated under normal circumstances, but will only be activated when an enemy invades.

Although this formation is not controlled by anyone, the fact that the Spirit Vein in this area is water, and is a Water Vein, provides considerable benefits when the formation is activated.

Once activated, this formation is sufficient to temporarily hold off three Qi Training Late Stage cultivators.

The latter two are always open; the Spirit Isolation Array is used to prevent others from probing this place with their Divine Sense.

The Spirit Gathering Formation gathers the Spiritual Qi of this place and feeds it back into the Spirit Vein underground.

At the same time, this Spirit Gathering Formation can also lock the Spiritual Qi emanating from the underground Spirit Vein within this cave, preventing the Spiritual Qi from flowing out and reducing the possibility of this place being discovered.

"These three formations are of good quality. Judging from their crafting techniques, they are probably the work of the original Master of this cave, Qi De."

"Qi De is also a talented person. Even if he hadn't discovered the spiritual pool here, with proper training, he could probably have become a high-ranking Array Formation Master. It's a pity that the Ye Clan didn't recognize his talent a hundred years ago."

"However, the Qi De incident serves as a warning to the Ling Clan."

"As the Lineage develops for some more years, there will definitely be more and more ordinary people of different surnames in the villages and towns under our command. My Ling Clan will definitely encounter people of different surnames with Spirit Root like Qi De."

"After we return to Hui territory, I need to have a good talk with my sixteenth brother, who is in charge of the Affairs Hall, about this matter."

Ling Pengyun stared at the three array plates in his hand, lost in thought for a moment.

Afterwards, he used his Divine Sense to cleanse the Divine Sense imprints within the three array plates, and then refined them before sending the three array plates back into the ground.

Having done this, Ling Pengyun burned Qi De's withered bones to ashes, used Law Technique to conjure an earthen wall to block the entrance and exit of the small cave, and then set up a restriction on the earthen wall before leaving the place and returning to the Underground River Huai River.

As soon as he emerged from the river, Ling Pengyun called to the wind-shadowed Wind Shadow Peng in the sky to land, and then rode the roc towards the Lineage territory.

In the midst of the Demon Beast Uprising, the Lineage still needs him to stay and cannot leave for an extended period. He has been away from the Lineage chasing Demon Beast and has been here for about a day now.

After entering the Lineage territory, Ling Pengyun first patrolled the territory. Only when he found that the Lineage Lineage was not in danger did he feel at ease and return to the Clan Mountain.

Upon returning to the Clan Mountain, he summoned the elders of his Lineage, including the Great Elder Ling Pengliang and the Fifth Elder Ling Yunxi, to the Council Hall and informed them of the discovery of a spirit pool that could produce Dark Ice Spirit Water.

Ling Pengyun never intended to hide the fact that the spirit pool could produce the Dark Ice Spirit Water.

The spirit pool was, after all, located within the territory of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan. If the location of the spirit pool were to become known elsewhere, it would be difficult for him alone to protect that invaluable spirit pool.

Furthermore, the fact that the spirit pool produces the Dark Ice Spirit Water is not something that happened overnight. Only by informing the Lineage can we maximize our benefits and achieve a win-win situation.

Ling Pengliang and Ling Yunxi were both shocked after learning about the Dark Ice Spirit Water from Ling Pengyun.

After all, the Dark Ice Spirit Water is a rare Heaven and Earth Spiritual Water, and it is extremely rare on the market.

Spirit pools that can nurture Dark Ice Spirit Water are extremely rare.

"Peng Yun, does anyone else know about that place?" Ling Yunxi asked excitedly.

"Not at the moment," Ling Pengyun replied after a moment's thought.

"That's good. A spirit pool that can produce Dark Ice Spirit Water is especially important for the development of the Lineage."

"Furthermore, according to what you said, the Water Vein where that spirit pool is located has already reached the First-Tier Superior-Grade, and it is not far from the second grade. Therefore, that spirit pool has a good chance of becoming a second-grade level pool."

"Once that spirit pool reaches the second level, it can produce a hundred-year-old Dark Ice Spirit Water, which is priceless and is a gold mine."

"As long as that place remains unexposed, my Ling Clan can rely on that spiritual pool to continue its prosperity in the Cultivation World," Ling Yunxi said excitedly.

"Yes, Eighth Brother, you have done a great service to the Lineage this time." Ling Pengliang, who was standing to the side, was also very happy and agreed.

"Let's not talk about merits for now. Fifteenth Grand-Aunt and Sixteenth Brother, although the location of the Spirit Pool is hidden, it is still within the territory of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan."

"In my opinion, we should send someone from our clan to garrison there. I need to stay and oversee the Lineage, so I can't leave. Otherwise, it would be best if I were to garrison that place myself."

"In addition, a higher-grade Defense Array needs to be set up to protect that place. The current Defense Array protecting the spirit pool is only a First Rank Middle Grade Water Storage Array."

"If there is a high-level formation protecting that place, even if others discover that spiritual pool, they can hold out until my reinforcements arrive, thanks to that formation."

"Sixteenth brother, is there any spare First-Tier Superior-Grade Defense Array within the clan?" Ling Pengyun asked, frowning.

"No, the clan's First-Tier Superior-Grade Defense Array were all purchased from outside. They were deployed on the First Rank Spirit Vein within the Lineage's territory long before the Demon Beast Uprising, in order to deal with the Demon Beast hordes that invaded the Lineage."

"Eighth Brother, do you think the original clan -Clan Protection Formation Clan Mountain Cloud Mist Drifting Rain Great Array, would be suitable for that spirit pool?" Ling Pengliang asked, his eyes lighting up.

The Cloud Mist Drifting Rain Great Array was originally the Clan Protection Array of the Ling Clan Mountain.

Several years ago, Ling Yunhong, the Clan Head of the Ling Clan clan, participated in the battle in which the Peace Cloud Yang Clan destroyed the Red Leaf Ridge Ye Family. As a result, Ling Yunhong also received the Ye Clan clan's Second Grade Middle Rank, Clan Protection Array, the Xuan Profound Earth Great Array.

After obtaining the Second Grade Middle Rank Profound Earth Great Array, Ling Yunhong replaced the Cloud Mist Drifting Rain Great Array with it and set it up on the Ling Clan Mountain.

The Cloud Mist Drifting Rain Great Array was thus cleared up.

"The Cloud Mist Drifting Rain Great Array needs the power of rain, and the Spirit Vein inside the cave where the spiritual pool is located is water-based, and the surrounding area is the Huai River, which is rich in water vapor. It would be suitable to set up the Cloud Mist Drifting Rain Great Array Formation there."

"Moreover, the Water Vein where that spirit pool is located is of the First-Tier Superior-Grade, and the Spiritual Qi it contains is more than enough to power the great formation." Ling Pengyun said happily, then looked at Ling Yunxi and asked.

"However, this formation is of such a high grade that ordinary cultivators would probably find it difficult to unleash its full power."

"Fifteenth Grand-Aunt, you are First Rank Middle Grade Array Formation Master, capable of controlling that array and unleashing its full power. Would you be willing to go and guard that spirit pool?"

"Of course I'm willing. I feel at ease with you in charge of the clan. I have nothing to do in the clan anyway, so it's good for me to go and oversee the spirit pool." Ling Yunxi agreed immediately without hesitation.

After saying this, Ling Yunxi hesitated and stopped herself from speaking.

"Peng Yun... I wonder if you could spare some Dark Ice Spirit Water that's over fifty years old for me?"

"Your cousin Peng Lin has been stuck at the Qi Training Sixth Layer for many years. If she had the help of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Water like the Dark Ice Spirit Water, she could take that step."

Ling Yunxi was also an experienced person, and she understood that Ling Pengyun must have obtained the Dark Ice Spirit Water after discovering the Spirit Pool.

"Fifteenth Grand-Aunt, I'm all ready," Ling Pengyun said with a smile.

"Each of these two Glass Bottle contains five mouthfuls of Dark Ice Spirit Water that is over fifty years old."

"The other Glass Bottle contains more of the Dark Ice Spirit Water, about ten mouthfuls. These ten mouthfuls are what I handed over to the Lineage, and can be distributed to the core members of the family in batches."

He first took out two Glass Bottle from his Storage Bag and handed them to Ling Yunxi and Ling Pengliang respectively.

Then, he took out several Glass Bottle from his Storage Bag and handed them to Ling Pengliang individually.

Upon seeing this, both Ling Yunxi and Ling Pengliang were delighted.

"Thank you so much, Peng Yun. I don't have many Spirit Stone on me right now. I wonder if I can use my Contribution Points to buy the five mouthfuls of Dark Ice Spirit Water you gave me?" Ling Yunxi asked happily.

Such Dark Ice Spirit Water Heaven and Earth Spiritual Water is extremely rare on the market, and five of them would be enough to serve as the grand finale item at a regular auction.

It is extremely rare for Ling Pengyun to give up such a large quantity of Dark Ice Spirit Water.

"Fifteenth Grand-Aunt, you're too kind. I obtained quite a bit of Dark Ice Spirit Water this time. It's no big deal to share some with you and Sixteenth Brother. It's only right to hand it over to the Lineage as well," Ling Pengyun said, having already prepared his words.

He obtained a total of sixty-five mouthfuls of Dark Ice Spirit Water this time, and it wouldn't hurt to share some with his Lineage.

Furthermore, many talented members of the Ling Clan have emerged recently. Releasing some Dark Ice Spirit Water into the clan can accelerate the cultivation speed of those members.

"Peng Yun, no, the Dark Ice Spirit Water is extremely valuable, and the quantity you gave this time is quite large. Although you have entered the Foundation Establishment, this amount of Dark Ice Spirit Water will still be of considerable use to you," Ling Yunxi said, shaking her head.

"It's alright, Fifteenth Grand-Aunt, I still have quite a bit of Dark Ice Spirit Water left."

"Furthermore, I will also receive a share of the profits from the Dark Ice Spirit Water produced by that spiritual pool in the future."

"We're all family, Fifteenth Grand-Aunt, so let's not talk like strangers," Ling Pengyun said firmly.

"Peng Yun, it's still not advisable. A single sip of Dark Ice Spirit Water is worth more than two hundred Spirit Stone on the market, and the twenty sips of Dark Ice Spirit Water you've taken out are worth a full four thousand Spirit Stone."

"I know you mean well, but I can't let you suffer a loss," Ling Yunxi said helplessly.

"Yes, Eighth Brother!" Ling Pengliang chimed in.

"In that case, I will sell it to you and your Lineage at half price, one hundred Lineage Contribution Points per drop of Dark Ice Spirit Water. Surely you will accept this Dark Ice Spirit Water then," Ling Pengyun said after thinking for a moment, seeing that the two were very determined.

"That's fine, thank you very much, Peng Yun." Ling Yunxi expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you, Eighth Brother." Ling Pengliang, who was standing to the side, also expressed his gratitude at this moment.

The two also remembered Ling Pengyun's kindness.

After dealing with the matter of the spirit pool, the three chatted for a few moments, and the meeting came to an end.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunxi went to the Clan Repository on the mountaintop to retrieve the Cloud Mist Drifting Rain Great Array. He then rode the Wind Shadow Peng with Ling Yunxi to the location of the Spirit Pool within the territory of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan.

After Ling Yunxi set up the Cloud Mist Drifting Rain Great Array around the spirit pool, Ling Pengyun returned to his Lineage with peace of mind.
