Council Meeting After the Monster Beast Uprising

In the following three months, the number and frequency of Demon Beast invading the Ling Clan clan's territory decreased significantly compared to the first six months.

These groups of Demon Beast were not large in scale and did not cause much damage to the Ling Clan, who had Foundation Establishment Cultivator stationed there.

Meanwhile, the Azure Bamboo Wang Clan, which hired Ling Pengyun, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, by relying on three thousand catties of Crimson Fire Iron Ore, also sought help from Ling Pengyun three times during this period. Each time, it was because a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast led a large number of Qi Training Demon Beast into their territory, and the Wang Clan cultivators were unable to deal with it.

However, the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast in those three waves of Demon Beast were all only at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment stage.

After Ling Pengyun reached the second level of Foundation Establishment, his strength increased greatly. He successfully assisted the Azure Bamboo Wang Clan in resolving the crisis and even killed two Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast.

The other Foundation Establishment Demon Beast was a flying bird, extremely fast, and fled after being no match for Ling Pengyun.

A few more days passed.

Nearly a year ago, Ling Yunhong and the others who were summoned by the Hundred Spirits Sect to guard West Yang Market Town, except for Ling Pengxing, all returned to their Lineage.

As for Ling Pengxing, according to Ling Yunhong, he is in seclusion in West Yang Market Town and will not be returning for some time.

Therefore, the Ling Clan family members were transferred to West Yang Market Town West Yang Market Town the Hundred Spirits Sect to guard it. West Yang Market Town was not breached during the Demon Beast Uprising.

This also meant that none of the Ling Clan cultivators who went to guard West Yang Market Town suffered any casualties.

On the contrary, these Ling Clan cultivators, having spent nearly a year slaying Demon Beast every day, had acquired a bloody aura.

At the same time, these clansmen also brought back good news: the Demon Beast Uprising within the Yan Kingdom had ended a month ago.

The reason why he has only returned to his clan now is because West Yang Market Town is too far away from Huai River County, so he could not return to his clan immediately.

The main reason for the end of the Demon Beast Uprising was that the largest market in Yan, White Cloud Market Town, and the largest Demon Beast Gathering Ground, White Cloud Mountain Range, underwent great changes at the front line of the Demon Beast Uprising in the Yan Kingdom Yan Kingdom.

This change is that a small second-order Blazing Fire Iron Ore Vein has been discovered on the border of the White Cloud Mountain Range.

The value of this mine is at least several hundred thousand Spirit Stone, or even a million Spirit Stone. This amount of ore is quite valuable even to the five major Golden Core sects of the Yan Kingdom.

It was precisely because of this mineral vein that the sect leader of the Profound Yang Sect, the strongest sect in the Yan Kingdom, the "Xuan Yang" True Person, whose cultivation level reached the Golden Core Completion, rushed from the Profound Yang Sect to White Cloud Market Town after learning about the mineral vein. In one fell swoop, he killed a Golden Core Middle Stage Demon Beast and crippled a Golden Core Late Stage Demon Beast.

If it weren't for the timely intervention of the White Cloud Mountain Range's overlord, a White Cloud Spirit Fox at the Golden Core Completion, which blocked Xuanyang True Person.

Otherwise, the number of Golden Core Demon Beast that died would certainly not have been just one.

Even so, the high-level combat power of the Demon Beast in the White Cloud Mountain Range was severely damaged, suffering a hidden loss.

Furthermore, with the powerful Xuanyang True Person stationed in White Cloud Market Town, the Golden Core Demon Beast in the White Cloud Mountain Range naturally ceased their attacks on White Cloud Market Town and retreated back into the White Cloud Mountain Range.

Meanwhile, to prevent the Yan Kingdom cultivators stationed in White Cloud Market Town from taking this opportunity to invade the weakened White Cloud Mountain Range and seize the White Cloud Mountain Range in one fell swoop.

The White Eyed Spirit Fox King of the White Cloud Mountain Range, who had reached the Demon Beast Uprising Golden Core Completion, also summoned several Golden Core Demon Beast, as well as Foundation Establishment and Qi Training Demon Beast, that had been sent to support other Demon Beast Gathering Ground under his command during the demon beast chaos to return to the White Cloud Mountain Range and consolidate the strength of the White Cloud Mountain Range.

Under these circumstances, the Golden Core Demon Beast in the weaker Demon Beast Gathering Ground under the White Cloud Mountain Range also led their Demon Beast groups to retreat from human territory and return to their own territories after the White Cloud Mountain Range's support withdrew.

The Demon Beast Uprising in the Yan Kingdom also came to an end due to a chain reaction.

As for the other Great Country in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World, their situations varied. Several powerful cultivation Great Country, like the Yan Kingdom, had repelled the Demon Beast Uprising within their borders.

Of course, in many other Great Country, the Demon Beast Uprising still exists, and people are still fighting against groups of Demon Beast.

now.

Because Ling Yunhong and his group returned safely to the clan, the clan funded a banquet to be held on a large flat area halfway up the Clan Mountain for Ling Yunhong Ling Yunhong his group, as a reward for the clan members who had fought for the Lineage.

After the banquet, the clansmen who had gone to war all returned to their homes to rest.

The Council Hall on the mountaintop.

The four high-ranking members of the Hui people who had just returned from West Yang Market Town —the clan Clan Head Ling Yunhong, the Sixth Elder Supreme Elder Ling Yunqian Ling Pengyun, the Great Elder Ling Pengliang who had been stationed in the clan Demon Beast Uprising, and the acting elder Ling Pengliang—all gathered here.

Ling Yunhong, who was seated at the head of the long table in the Council Hall, spoke in a low voice when he saw that everyone had arrived.

"I also learned about the death of the Thirteenth Uncle from the other members of the clan."

"I suppose Peng Liang and Yun Qian, you two also learned from Peng Yun about Thirteenth Uncle's dying wish: that we find an opportunity to kill the Bai Family Head the Bai clan, a Foundation Establishment family in Chen Country, and to reclaim the follow-up Cultivation Method of the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation, which the fortuitous opportunity of the Bai Family Head had stolen from Thirteenth Uncle."

"Thirteenth Uncle's dying wish is not difficult to fulfill given the current strength of our Ling Clan."

"Both for public and private reasons, we must do this."

"After a few years, when I reach the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment and Peng Yun and Peng Liang reach the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, we will do this."

"In addition, Uncle Thirteen has made many contributions to the Lineage in recent decades. The Earthly Fiend Sword Formation was also brought back to the Lineage by Uncle Thirteen. When I first entered the Foundation Establishment, my strength was weak. Without the help of this Earthly Fiend Sword Formation, it would have been difficult to make contributions in the battle of the Hundred Spirits Sect's expansion of Huai River County decades ago and buy this Lingxiao Mountain from the Hundred Spirits Sect."

"Although Uncle Thirteen has no descendants, I remember that he has several mortal compatriots who do not have Spirit Root. If any of Uncle Thirteen's compatriots' descendants have Spirit Root, Peng Liang, you should pay close attention to them, do your best to cultivate them, and treat them well."

"Alright," replied Ling Pengliang, the clan's chief steward.

Seeing Ling Pengliang respond, Ling Yunhong nodded slightly and spoke again. "The death of Uncle Thirteen is a tragedy, but it also serves as a wake-up call for the Ling Clan."

"With the death of the Thirteenth Uncle, the position of Second Elder has become vacant. Among the Yun, Xiao, and Peng generations of the clan, as well as the older generation of the Ru Generation, there is no Qi Training Completion cultivator who can take over the position of the Thirteenth Uncle and serve as the Second Elder of the clan."

"This situation is not a good thing for the Ling Clan."

"While there are many talented young members of the clan in the Peng and Cheng generations, the Yun and Xiao generations are relatively mediocre."

"Once the older generation of Ru Generation the Qi Training Late Stage or the peak of their cultivation have exhausted their lifespan and passed away, there will be a huge gap in the clan's Qi Training Stage combat power."

"We must take this matter seriously. Although our Lineage already has four Foundation Establishment cultivators, Qi Refining cultivators are the foundation, and our Ling Clan cannot afford to ignore them."

"In the future, 50% of the resources will be allocated to the Peng and Cheng generation of clan members who are the focus of the clan's training. It is imperative to accelerate the cultivation speed of these clan members."

"At the same time, the clan will focus on cultivating Peng Qiu and Peng Shan, two children with good aptitude but no Hundred Arts Talent, and will guide them to the path of combat magic in the future."

After saying this, he looked at Ling Yunqian, the Sixth Elder of the Lineage and the eighteenth in the Yun Generation.

"Eighteenth Brother, from now on those two children will be in your hands. Let them follow you and lead the Lineage caravan to transport resources."

"If you encounter Evil Cultivator try to ambush you on your journey, keep a close eye on these two children to prevent their lives from being in danger."

"Understood, Third Brother," Ling Yunqian replied.

When the Lineage caravan travels to various markets, it needs to carry a large number of spiritual items. If it is not a large number of spiritual items, the Ling Clan can simply use Storage Bag to carry them.

A large number of spiritual items indicates extremely high value.

This also meant that the caravans transporting spiritual items to the shops owned by Lineage in various markets were often ambushed and attacked by organized Evil Cultivator, resulting in battles that were almost as dangerous as venturing deep into the territory of Serpent Dragon Lake to kill Demon Beast.

"Furthermore, the Demon Beast Uprising has now ended. The next Demon Beast Uprising will occur in a hundred years. In the next hundred years, there is probably little chance that a large number of Demon Beast beasts will invade our Huai River County."

"Furthermore, there are currently no Devil Cultivator in my Huai River County and the surrounding prefectures."

"We no longer need to worry about our mortal people multiplying and becoming too numerous, which would attract hordes of Demon Beast and Devil Cultivator."

"Peng Liang, as the Great Elder of the Lineage, I entrust you with the task of informing the mortals of the four towns and one city within the Lineage's territory, including the Lingyun Small City of my Ling Clan in Cloudwater County, that they may have a large number of children in the future."

"In addition, you are strengthening the welfare of mortals who have children and encouraging those mortal people to have children."

"The young Early-Stage Qi Training cultivators in the clan were also taken out for training, and they were asked to use their Law Technique to help the mortal clansmen in the territory to develop fields in order to cope with the possible food shortage when a large number of mortals appeared in the future."

"Peng Yun, you are currently the only person in the clan with experience in improving Spirit Rice. In the near future, see if you can improve a type of rice that yields more than ordinary rice. Like expanding the fields, this is to prepare for the potential food shortage that may occur if the number of ordinary people under our clan increases too quickly in a short period of time."

"Okay," Ling Pengliang replied.

The position of Great Elder inherently requires managing many miscellaneous matters.

Ling Pengliang had been mentally prepared ever since he took over the position of Great Elder from the previous Great Elder, Ling Ruxian.

"Okay." Ling Pengyun nodded slightly in agreement.

He had already improved the Spirit Rice, so he was naturally confident in improving ordinary rice.

Seeing that both Ling Pengliang and Ling Yunhong was quite satisfied.

However, when he sensed that Ling Pengliang's aura was nearly twice as strong as before the Demon Beast Uprising, he raised an eyebrow slightly and asked.

"Peng Liang, I remember before the Demon Beast Uprising, your cultivation was only at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining. How come you have already reached the Qi Training Ninth Layer, and your aura is so strong that it seems you will reach the Qi Training Completion in no time?"

"And where did Yunxi go this time?"

Upon hearing Ling Pengliang smiled and explained in detail.

"My cultivation progress is so fast thanks to the Eighth Brother who discovered a Dark Ice Spirit Pool that can produce Dark Ice Spirit Water some time ago."

"The spirit pool contained a lot of Dark Ice Spirit Water that was between fifty and one hundred years old. My Eighth Brother then released twenty mouthfuls of this Dark Ice Spirit Water into the Lineage."

"I bought five mouthfuls of Dark Ice Spirit Water. It was thanks to these five mouthfuls of Dark Ice Spirit Water that my cultivation has improved so quickly. I still have one mouthful of Dark Ice Spirit Water left. I estimate that I will be able to reach the Qi Refining Qi Training Completion in a few days."

"As for the Fifteenth Grand-Aunt, she took the original Clan Protection Array from the Clan Mountain and went to guard the Blue Dark Ice Spirit Pool."

"That Dark Ice Spirit Pool is not within the Lineage's territory, but within the territory of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan."

Ling Pengliang did not reveal that the five mouthfuls of Dark Ice Spirit Water he had exchanged were originally sold to him by Ling Pengyun at a lower level, so as not to cause Ling Pengyun any trouble.

After hearing what Ling Pengliang said, Ling Yunhong was overjoyed.

He understood the value of a sacred pool that could nurture the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Water.

He took out two medicine bottles from his Storage Bag, handed them to Ling Pengyun, who was sitting in the main seat next to him, and said with a smile.

"The Dark Ice Spirit Pool, which produces Dark Ice Spirit Water, is priceless. Peng Yun, you have made a great contribution this time. Once the Lineage's finances are better, I will find you a main material for refining your Lifebound Magic Item."

"As for these two bottles, they contain a hundred-year-old Evergreen Spirit Water, enough for two mouthfuls. They were originally intended for you to use when you break through to the second level of Foundation Establishment."

"However, it's good that you broke through to the second level of Foundation Establishment on your own, relying on the Dark Ice Spirit Water in the spiritual pool you discovered this time. These two bottles of Evergreen Spirit Water were prepared for you anyway, so take them."

When Ling Pengyun heard that Ling Yunhong had promised to find him a spiritual material to refine his Lifebound Magic Item, he was overjoyed.

Like Lifebound Magic Item, Innate Spell are of the same origin as cultivators' Cultivation Method.

Furthermore, Lifebound Magic Item is at least 30% to 40% stronger than Law Artifact of the same grade. Some Lifebound Magic Item are even stronger than Law Artifact of a slightly higher grade.

Having a Lifebound Magic Item can greatly enhance a cultivator's combat power.

In addition, the main materials for the three natal Lifebound Magic Item recorded in the Azure Sea True Scripture that Ling Pengyun cultivated were also extremely rare.

It would be difficult for Ling Pengyun to find it on his own.

Ling Yunhong, however, was different. He had been at the Foundation Establishment for decades, so he naturally had a wide network of connections and knew many people, which gave him many opportunities.

After a moment of joy, Ling Pengyun accepted the two bottles of Evergreen Spirit Water from Ling Yunhong and thanked him.

"Many Third Grandfather for gifting this water."

Ling Yunhong waved his hand, thought for a moment, and then said, "It's alright. It was something I promised you. You've worked hard guarding the Lineage for over a year."

"Let's talk about the Spirit Pool. Since you've told the Lineage about it, let's discuss the division of the Nether Dark Ice Spirit Water produced by that pool in advance. The Lineage will send someone to oversee it and take 70% of the profits."

"If you are found to have made a contribution, you will receive a smaller share, only 30%."

"Considering that the Dark Ice Spirit Water produced by the Spirit Pool is not something that can be produced overnight, this benefit can continue to be passed on to your future descendants."

"Are you satisfied with this division of benefits?"

"Of course I'm satisfied," Ling Pengyun nodded.

From the moment he told the rest of his clan about the Dark Ice Spirit Pool, he was prepared to share the Dark Ice Spirit Water produced by the Dark Ice Spirit Pool with his Lineage.

He would be satisfied if he could get 30% of the Nether Dark Ice Spirit Water produced by the Spirit Pool in the future.

After all, he just discovered that he could get things for free without doing anything, and his Lineage would cover for him if anything went wrong.

"However, this spirit pool is located in the territory of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan, which is ultimately a troublesome matter."

"Now, Liu Daozhou, the Clan Head of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan, has entered the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment. Some time ago, when he was in West Yang Market Town, he also bought a hundred-year-old Evergreen Spirit Fruit from the Hundred Spirits Sect, which can help Foundation Establishment Cultivator and Demon Beast break through their cultivation levels."

"This fruit is probably prepared for the Liu Clan Guardian Spirit Beast, the Flame Cloud Tiger. It won't be long before the Liu Clan's Flame Cloud Tiger will also enter the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment."

"At that time, the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan will have two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment warriors. Even though my Ling Clan currently has four Foundation Establishment warriors, we will not dare to confront them head-on."

"In the future, it would be best if we went to that spirit pool less often, so as not to be discovered and cause the spirit pool to be taken back by the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan, becoming a wedding dress for the Liu Clan," Ling Yunhong suggested with a frown.

Everyone understood this meaning and successively expressed their agreement.

Thank you all for your monthly votes!
