Yang Changxing was quite satisfied to see that Ling Yunhong agreed to the proposed division of benefits.

He then explained the truth to Ling Yunhong in detail.

"It's good that Ling Daoyou understands the reasoning behind this. As for the situation in the Rock Scale Snake Den, it's not good."

"Half a month ago, I went to the Rock Scale Snake Den. The Snake Cave had been discovered by the Demon Beast during the Demon Beast Uprising."

"The Snake Cave is now occupied by a pack of wolf demons. There are four Foundation Establishment wolf demons in the pack, including one Late-Stage Foundation Establishment wolf demon, one Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment wolf demon, two Early-Stage Foundation Establishment wolf demons, and thousands of Qi Training Stage wolf demons."

"Such a large pack of wolves is beyond my ability to defeat on my own."

"The rest of my Yang Clan's Foundation Establishment Cultivator are all preoccupied with other matters within the clan and are unable to leave. Therefore, I need the three of you to assist me in slaying the wolf pack occupying the Snake Cave. I wonder if the three of you would be willing?"

"Of course," Ling Yunhong replied readily.

"Since Ling Daoyou agrees to this, let's rest for a day before setting off again. After all, today is the last day of the grand auction, and the area outside the market is probably not peaceful."

"If we leave the market now, might it cause other trouble?" Yang Changxing didn't seem to care and remained as calm as ever.

"Alright, by the way, Fellow Yang Daoyou, do you still remember when Peng Yun and I helped you slay the Foundation Establishment Completion Demon Beast, you promised my Ling Clan that you would buy three Meridian Protecting Pill at a low price? I wonder if your Lineage currently has any Meridian Protecting Pill?"

Ling Yunhong naturally understood what Yang Changxing meant, and after agreeing, he asked.

Upon hearing this, Yang Changxing's pupils contracted slightly.

From these words, he could easily guess that another cultivator from the Ling Clan was about to reach the Foundation Establishment.

Otherwise, why would Ling Yunhong have bought the Meridian Protecting Pill?

However, the Meridian Protecting Pill only provides a 50% boost to Foundation Establishment. Even with Foundation Establishment assistance, cultivators may not be able to Foundation Establishment, let alone the Meridian Protecting Pill, which is several levels weaker. Therefore, Yang Changxing did not pay too much attention to this matter.

After a moment of stunned silence, Yang Changxing snapped out of his daze and replied with a smile.

"Of course I remember. As long as Ling Daoyou brings Spirit Stone to my Yang Clan, you can purchase a Meridian Protecting Pill at the low price of three thousand Spirit Stone."

"Thank you very much, Yang Daoyou," Ling Yunhong said gratefully.

"It's alright, it was something I promised you, Ling Clan." Yang Changxing waved his hand, looked at Ling Pengyun was also in the private room, and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect that you, like Peng Xing, would also reach the second level of Foundation Establishment so quickly. Ling Daoyou, it seems that your Ling Clan is destined for prosperity."

"Yang Daoyou is joking. These two children have only just entered the Foundation Establishment. Although they are said to be at the second level of Foundation Establishment, they are actually still at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment. Their cultivation has not improved much."

Upon hearing such praise, Ling Yunhong's heart trembled, fearing that Yang Changxing might use underhanded tactics in the future, so he quickly spoke up.

"You're too modest. Just do your job well for the Yang Clan, and the Ling Clan will reap the rewards in the future."

"Peng Yun, three months ago, your cousin Si Ling gave birth to a boy, named Wu Hong."

"According to your brother-in-law Wu Yan's message back to the Yang Clan, the Spirit Talisman True Person, who was stationed in West Yang Market Town, rushed back to the Hundred Spirits Sect after the Demon Beast Uprising ended. He used a special Secret Method to discover in advance that the Little Wu Hong, who was only a few months old, possessed Wind Attribute Variant Spirit Root Spirit Root."

"This matter greatly pleases Spirit Talisman True Person, who will hold a Hundred Days Banquet for the child in ten days. You and I will go together then. The scale of this Hundred Days Banquet is not large. According to your brother-in-law Wu Yan's message, it is just an ordinary family banquet, and there will be no one else present."

"However, the fact that this Little Wu Hong possesses the Wind Spirit Root has not yet been revealed. Please keep this a secret for us, Fellow Ling Daoyou." Yang Changxing glanced at Ling Yunhong and said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yunhong's expression changed, and he muttered to himself.

"There are countless Secret Method in the Cultivation World. Those who have reached the Golden Core can indeed use some special methods to detect a child's Spirit Root in advance."

"Furthermore, it's clear that Spirit Talisman True Person Wu Tian's decision to hold Hundred Days Banquet is no ordinary event. If Spirit Talisman True Person Wu Tian's newborn grandson wasn't special, he probably wouldn't have made such a big fuss."

Upon thinking this, Ling Yunhong frowned immediately.

Yang Changxing's words just now seemed to be an invitation for Ling Pengyun to attend Wu Hong's Hundred Days Banquet, who has Wind Spirit Root, but in reality, they were a show of defiance towards him.

Although the unique Spirit Root is not as powerful as the single-attribute Heavenly Spirit Root of the five elements, it can ignore the bottlenecks of the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Realm. As long as enough Spiritual Qi is accumulated, a breakthrough can be achieved naturally.

However, the cultivation speed of this unique Spirit Root is the same as that of the Heavenly Spirit Root; it's just that one needs to rely on their own strength to break through the bottleneck.

However, their aptitude is much better than that of cultivators with Dual Spirit Root.

Spirit Talisman True Person such a gifted grandson, Ling Yunhong knew without a doubt that Yang Clan, Yang Siling married Spirit Talisman True Person Wu Yan, would be extremely favored.

The Yang Clan could also leverage this situation to gain more support from the Hundred Spirits Sect.

"From this perspective, as long as the Yang Clan doesn't go too far, it's not necessarily a bad thing for the Ling Clan to hitch a ride on the Yang Clan's coattails!" Ling Yunhong muttered to himself.

Ling Pengyun, who was standing to the side, also thought of Yang Changxing's meaning, but he was also happy that his cousin's child Wu Hong, had the aptitude of Wind Attribute Variant Spirit Root.

"Uncle, do my parents know about this? Will they be going too?" Ling Pengyun asked happily.

"Everyone knows about this. Your parents will travel with your maternal grandfather and uncle's family," Yang Changxing said with a smile.

Afterwards, Yang Changxing, Ling Yunhong, Ling Pengxing, and Ling Pengyun chatted for a few more minutes before the three of them said goodbye to Yang Changxing and Ling Pengyun.

Yang Changxing, still inside the private room, watched Ling Yunhong and the others leave, his eyes flashing slightly.

"I didn't expect Peng Yun to have reached the second level of Foundation Establishment just like Ling Pengxing. These two are cultivating quite fast."

"It's estimated that these two will easily reach the mid -Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment. Ling Yunhong's aptitude is also extraordinary, and he's estimated to be able to reach the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment as well."

"At that time, the Ling Clan will be of greater use to the Yang Clan."

"A hundred years from now, when the Hundred Spirits Sect destroys the entire Serpent Dragon Lake region, with the help of the Ling Clan Yang Clan, it might just be an opportunity for the Yang Clan."

Yang Changxing was never afraid of the Ling Clan becoming stronger. His Yang Clan had the support of the Spirit Talisman True Person of the Hundred Spirits Sect, so why should he be afraid of the Ling Clan, which was weaker than his own Lineage, the Yang Clan family?

After a day of rest, the next morning...

Yang Changxing, along with Ling Pengyun, Ling Pengxing, Ling Yunhong, and others, left West Yang Market Town and stealthily headed south towards Serpent Dragon Lake.

During this journey, although Foundation Establishment Cultivator Ling Pengyun an eye on the four of them, they did not directly attack due to their strength. Instead, they quietly followed them for a while before leaving on their own.

Ling Pengyun and his companions had important matters to attend to, so they did not waste time on those Foundation Establishment Cultivator had ulterior motives.

Half a day later, the four of them traveled thousands of miles into the territory of Serpent Dragon Lake and finally arrived near the Rock Scale Snake Den.

The four of them had expended a lot of spiritual energy to sneak here, so they found a secluded place to rest for several hours to recover their depleted spiritual energy.

After their spiritual energy recovered, the four spent another half a day killing all the Demon Beast within a twenty-mile radius of the Rock Scale Snake Den.

Those Demon Beast all Qi Training Stage Demon Beast; there were no Foundation Establishment Demon Beast. It wasn't until fifty miles away that Foundation Establishment Demon Beast appeared.

As for killing the Demon Beast around the Rock Scale Rock Scale Snake Den Rock Scale Snake Den in advance, it was also to avoid the bloody aura of killing many wolf demons and spreading to the outside world during the battle with the huge wolf pack that occupied the Rock Scale Serpent Cave, which would attract surrounding Demon Beast and increase the difficulty of conquering the Rock Scale Snake Den.

Having accomplished this task, Ling Pengyun and his three companions then headed towards the Rock Scale Snake Den.

During the journey, Ling Yunhong also summoned the Guardian Spirit Beast, the Immortal Spirit Crane King, that he carried with him from his Beast Taming Pouch.

Soon, the four humans and one beast were engaged in battle with the massive wolf pack that occupied the Rock Scale Snake Den.

Yang Changxing possessed extraordinary strength. Single-handedly, he not only blocked the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment wolf king but also a Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment wolf demon.

Ling Yunhong also relied on his Lifebound Magic Item, the Azure Sea Icy Cold Flying Sword, to temporarily block the other two Early-Stage Foundation Establishment wolf demons.

Ling Pengyun, Ling Pengxing, and the Immortal Spirit Crane King then slaughtered the thousands of Qi Training Stage wolf demons.

Although there were many wolf demons in the Qi Training Stage, Ling Pengyun, Ling Pengxing, and the Immortal Spirit Crane King all had Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Ling Pengyun focused on defense, continuously casting the second-tier defensive Law Technique, Primal Water Technique, which conjured Primal Water Light Screen to envelop everyone and block the attacks launched by the wolf pack.

The two with stronger combat power, Ling Pengxing and Immortal Spirit Crane King, can focus on attacking without worrying about defense.

With the combined efforts of the three, the thousands of wolf demons were wiped out in just half an hour.

The three of Ling Pengyun, now free to do so, did not remain idle. They went to help Ling Yunhong and Yang Changxing, and together they attacked the remaining four Foundation Establishment Wolf Demons.

The four Foundation Establishment wolf demons were already struggling to deal with Yang Changxing and Ling Yunhong.

With the addition of Ling Pengyun and the other two, the four Foundation Establishment wolf demons were quickly defeated and killed.

After the battle, the group quickly cleaned up the spiritual materials from the Demon Beast in the area and then entered the Rock Scale Snake Den.

During this period, although the area outside the Rock Scale Snake Den was filled with Blood Qi due to the killing of all the wolves, the surrounding area of Rock Scale Snake Den was also filled with Demon Beast within a radius of more than twenty miles.

In addition, Ling Pengyun and the others harvested the spiritual materials from the wolf demons quickly, so no Demon Beast were attracted by the Blood Qi.

As for the Spirit Plant that were originally planted on the thirty-five acres of Spirit Field deep in the Rock Scale Snake Den, they were all destroyed by the wolf pack that had previously occupied the Snake Cave, and not a single Spirit Plant is still alive.

Fortunately, the array plate and flag of the Second Grade Middle Rank Aura Concealment Array that Ling Pengyun left here were not discovered by the wolf demons occupying this place because they had a powerful concealing effect and were hundreds of feet deep underground. They remained intact without any loss.

This situation also put Yang Changxing, the Master of the Aura Concealment Array, at ease.

That Aura Concealment Array is of the Second Grade Middle Rank, and is worth at least four or five thousand Spirit Stone on the market. This formation is extremely rare even for the well-established Yang Clan.

Subsequently, Yang Changxing re-established the Aura Concealment Array and the Second Rank Low Grade- grade Geng Metal Needle Splitting Array that had been removed from this place years ago, deep within the Snake Cave.

Ling Yunhong, Ling Pengyun, and Ling Pengxing then planted the prepared Spirit Plant seeds on the thirty-five acres of Spirit Field.

Once this matter was settled, Ling Pengyun, Ling Yunhong, and Yang Changxing did not linger there and left together.

Ling Pengxing and the Ling Clan Guardian Spirit Beast Immortal Spirit Crane King, remained in this place to protect the Spirit Plant planted in the thirty-five acres of Spirit Field.

The best person to stay here would be Ling Pengyun, a Spirit Planter with Foundation Establishment cultivation, but since he has to go to the Hundred Spirits Sect to attend his nephew Wu Hong's Hundred Days Banquet, Ling Pengxing can only be temporarily stationed here.
