Seeking Hall Master Yan Cang's Help

However, he was somewhat puzzled as to why Ling Pengyun sought him out instead of Yang Siling when he encountered trouble.

Could it be Spirit Plant Secret Method...?

After thinking it over carefully, he finally spoke.

"Young friend, why don't you tell me first? If it's within my power, I'll do my best to help you."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun's expression brightened, and he spoke up.

"Senior, some time ago, I entered the second level of Spirit Plant cultivation and was able to refine a second type of Natal Spirit Plant. However, it is difficult to find the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass spiritual seed that I desire on the market."

"Therefore, I would like to ask you to help me find the spiritual seed of this Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass within the Hundred Spirits Sect."

Although Ling Pengyun's cousin Yang Siling is the daughter-in-law of Golden Core True Person, Yang Siling is only a daughter-in-law and does not have much real power within the Hundred Spirits Sect.

Furthermore, Yang Siling is not Spirit Planter, so finding the seeds of Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass is quite difficult, and she will most likely need to ask the people of the Spirit Plant Hall for help.

Conversely, Yan Cang is the Hall Master of the Spirit Plant Hall of the Hundred Spirits Sect, managing at least dozens or even hundreds of Spirit Planter under his command. He is also the head of the Spirit Planter in the Hundred Spirits Sect and is in constant contact with Spirit Plant.

Entrusting this person with finding seeds of the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass would increase the chances of success.

When Yan Cang heard that Ling Pengyun's request was simply to find seeds of Spirit Plant, he was immediately relieved.

He was genuinely frightened just now because Ling Pengyun had asked him to reveal some profound Spirit Plant Secret Method that the Hundred Spirits Sect did not pass on to outsiders.

"It turns out it was just about finding the seeds of the Spirit Rice; that's a small matter."

"However, young friend Ling, even within my Hundred Spirits Sect, the seed of the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass is considered a rare item."

"In addition, after the seeds of the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass are refined by the Spirit Planter, they are of great help to the Spirit Planter. As a result, as soon as these Spirit Plant seeds appear in the sect, they are bought up by the Spirit Planter in the sect."

"Currently, there are no Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass seeds within the sect, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while longer."

"Don't worry, young friend. As long as the seeds of the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass appear in my sect in the future, I will definitely keep them for you."

The Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass belongs to the water element, and its only function is to store a large amount of pure Water Spiritual Energy.

The Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass, which is of the same level as a cultivator, is enough to fill a cultivator's Dantian with spiritual power in an instant. This is the first Natal Spirit Plant Spirit Plant that Ling Yunhong, the Clan Head of the Ling Clan clan, has.

It is precisely because of the powerful effects of the Ren Shui Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass that it has been included among the hundred Spirit Plant most suitable for Spirit Planter to refine into their Natal Spirit Plant.

Ling Pengyun's Natal Spirit Plant, the Thorn Vine, is also on this list.

Ling Pengyun's plan to find the seeds of the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass and refine them into his second Natal Spirit Plant was a well-thought-out decision.

He already has Thorn Vine that can be used for both offense and defense, and he has no shortage of Natal Spirit Plant that can be used for both offense and defense.

What's missing is a supportive Natal Spirit Plant.

Supportive Natal Spirit Plant are a major category, including recovery Spirit Plant, Spirit Plant that temporarily boost strength, and even healing Spirit Plant, etc.

Ling Pengyun considered the powerful but extremely energy-consuming Azure Sea Sky Sword Art recorded in the Cultivation Method "Azure Sea True Scripture," which is why he decided to refine the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass as his second Natal Spirit Plant.

When Ling Pengyun learned that there were no more Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass seeds in the Hundred Spirits Sect, he felt somewhat helpless.

However, with Yan Cang's assurance, he was still overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Then thank you very much, Senior Yan."

"It's alright," Yan Cang waved his hand and said.

"Then I will not disturb you any longer," Ling Pengyun said, bowing as he took his leave.

"Stay and have another meal," Yan Cang said.

Ling Pengyun did not refuse. More than ten days ago, Yan Cang's granddaughter Yan Siyi had prepared a First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Cuisine feast that was extremely delicious.

Ling Pengyun, who already loved food, missed the taste of that meal terribly.

The two agreed and left the quiet room without lingering.

Coincidentally, it was evening, and Yan Siyi was preparing to cook dinner.

Seeing that Ling Pengyun and Yan Cang had come out of seclusion, she added two more dishes to their order.

Dinner was quickly prepared, and Ling Pengyun, Yan Cang, Yan Siyi sat down to eat together.

After the meal.

Ling Pengyun felt somewhat embarrassed because he had eaten two free meals of Spirit Cuisine at Yan Cang's house.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a piece of flesh and blood from Foundation Establishment Demon Beast from his Storage Bag and handed it to Yan Siyi.

"Fairy Yan, keeping this piece of flesh and blood from Foundation Establishment Demon Beast in my hands is a waste of its value. But if it falls into the hands of a Spirit Chef like you, it can become a Spirit Cuisine. So I'll give it to you, Fairy."

Yan Siyi wasn't stupid; she naturally realized that Ling Pengyun intended to pay for the meal.

She hesitated for a moment, but considering that she was planning to break through to the second-tier Spirit Chef, and that she could use the flesh and blood of that Foundation Establishment Demon Beast weighing several tens of kilograms to try making a dozen or so second-tier Spirit Cuisine, she accepted the offer.

At the same time, she immediately added.

"Ling Daoyou, do you still have any Foundation Establishment Demon Beast flesh or blood on you? If so, I can buy it at market price."

Ling Pengyun was somewhat puzzled and asked, "I do have quite a bit of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast flesh on me, but Fairy, why are you buying it from me? The Hundred Spirits Sect has many spiritual items, so you shouldn't lack Foundation Establishment Demon Beast flesh."

Yan Siyi explained with a hint of helplessness.

"Although there are many spiritual creatures within my Hundred Spirits Sect, the place where the Hundred Spirits Sect is located is, after all, the core of the Hundred Spirits Sect territory, the safest place, with no Demon Beast Gathering Ground around it."

"The area of Serpent Dragon Lake is quite far from my Hundred Spirits Sect. Furthermore, when Foundation Establishment Cultivator kill Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment Demon Beast Demon Beast, they usually keep the meat to eat and improve their cultivation. They only sell the materials on the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast."

"Even if some Foundation Establishment Demon Beast flesh and blood enters the market, after passing through, some cultivators who need Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment Demon Beast flesh and blood for other purposes will buy it, and the quantity of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast flesh and blood will be reduced by nearly half. The amount of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast flesh and blood that enters my Hundred Spirits Sect is even less."

"The flesh and blood of the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast that the sect obtains through the Foundation Establishment Cultivator cultivators within the sect will be directly sent to the second-tier Spirit Chef within the sect to be cooked into second-tier Spirit Cuisine, and then sent to the Foundation Establishment Cultivator within the sect to eat, so as to improve their cultivation."

"My cooking skills are only at the first-grade high level. Normally, I would have no chance to come into contact with the flesh and blood of Foundation Establishment monsters. However, thanks to my grandfather's status as the head of the Spirit Plant Hall, I have managed to obtain several thousand catties of flesh and blood from Foundation Establishment monsters."

"But the amount of flesh and blood from those Foundation Establishment Demon Beast is simply not enough to support my attempt to break through to the second-tier Spirit Chef."

"To be honest, my aptitude for Spirit Chef is rather low. It takes at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands of kilograms, of flesh and blood from Foundation Establishment Demon Beast to help me cook a second-tier Spirit Cuisine."

"To consistently cook second-tier Spirit Cuisine and truly become a second-tier Spirit Chef, one needs tens of thousands of kilograms of second-tier Demon Beast meat."

"At prices far exceeding those in supermarkets, one can purchase the flesh and blood of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast."

"But such an expense is too great. Even if I had some wealth, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough, and it's somewhat not worth it."

"However, given the market price, I cannot purchase it within the Hundred Spirits Sect. Furthermore, my cultivation level is low, and I have no plans to leave the sect for the time being. That is why I asked if I could purchase the flesh and blood of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast from you, fellow Daoist."

After hearing the explanation, Ling Pengyun's doubts were also resolved.

Therefore, I gained profound insights from this Dao Discussion with Yan Cang.

Yan Cang had done Ling Pengyun a favor, so he also threw out half of the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast flesh and blood from his Storage Bag, which weighed about a thousand catties.

The flesh and blood of these Foundation Establishment Demon Beast were specially collected by Ling Pengyun during the Demon Beast Uprising, from the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast he killed, and kept as food.

The flesh and blood of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast contain a trace of Spiritual Qi energy. Eating more of them can be quite beneficial for Foundation Establishment Cultivator to improve their cultivation.

Yan Siyi was overjoyed when she saw Ling Pengyun take out a thousand catties of flesh and blood from Foundation Establishment Demon Beast.

"Ling Daoyou, how much do you sell the flesh and blood of these Foundation Establishment Demon Beast for?"

"Two jin for one Spirit Stone on the market will suffice," Ling Pengyun said.

Yan Siyi's face lit up with joy. She waved her hand and took out five hundred Spirit Stone from her Storage Bag at her waist, handing them to Ling Pengyun.

"Thank you very much, Ling Daoyou Ling Daoyou. If you happen to find Foundation Establishment Demon Beast flesh in the future, could you please keep some for me?"

Just as he finished speaking, Yan Cang frowned slightly and coughed lightly.

Upon hearing this, Yan Siyi's pupils contracted slightly, and she immediately changed her words.

"Ling Daoyou, please pretend I never said anything. Thank you for giving me this thousand catties of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast flesh. Once I reach the second level in the Spirit Chef's Way, I will definitely prepare a second-level Spirit Cuisine feast for you."

Ling Pengyun glanced at Yan Cang, whose expression was serious, and recalled the change in Yan Siyi's words.

Having probably guessed that Yan Cang did not intend for Yan Siyi to owe him a favor because of the flesh and blood of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, he did not say anything more about the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast flesh and waved his hand.

"You've said too much, fairy. I've been here long enough, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, Ling Pengyun bowed to Yan Cang and Yan Siyi to say goodbye and left the courtyard on his own.

After Ling Pengyun left the courtyard, Yan Cang looked at Yan Siyi and began to lecture her.

"Si Yi, you've overstepped your level. The batch of Demon Beast flesh and blood that young friend Ling sold to you was obviously for his own use. It's already quite generous of him to give you so much of the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast flesh and blood."

"Young friend Ling's Lineage is located in Huai River County, which is far away from the Hundred Spirits Sect. If young friend Ling has hunted down the flesh and blood of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, he can sell it directly at the nearest market. Why should he leave it for you to buy? I have said it countless times: do not use my name to take advantage of others."

No matter how much you take advantage of someone, you'll always have to pay the price.

"My lifespan is almost over, and your parents died young. If when my lifespan is exhausted, you, a lonely female cultivator, will be alone in this seemingly peaceful Hundred Spirits Sect, owing favors to everyone. Let's see how you repay them then."

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, some highly skilled cultivators will bribe those scoundrels in the Affairs Hall to imprison you and make you cook Spirit Cuisine every day to earn profits for them."

"They might even capture you and use you as a tool for their own venting, just like most of the female Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect."

These words were said by Yan Cang to scare Yan Siyi, but there are indeed many unspoken rules within the Hundred Spirits Sect.

Upon hearing this, Yan Siyi's eyes immediately showed a hint of fear.

As Yan Cang's granddaughter, she had been stuck at the First-Tier Superior-Grade of the Spirit Chef realm for many years, mainly because Yan Cang was unwilling to owe favors to others.

Otherwise, given Yan Cang's status, he could easily order the cultivators of the Spirit Plant Hall to go to various markets and purchase the flesh and blood of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast.

In this world, Spirit Stone are easy to earn, after all, you can make money from them, and it's tangible.

But debts of gratitude are especially difficult to repay.

"I understand, Grandfather. I was just being rude," Yan Siyi said timidly.

"Good that you understand. I won't say more about this matter. You've been at the second level of Foundation Establishment for several years now. Over these years, I've found quite a few first and second-tier spiritual fruits for you. I suppose you've been distracted by the Spirit Chef."

"Before you reach the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, don't get distracted. Focus on your cultivation. Once you reach the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, I will find a way to obtain enough flesh and blood from Foundation Establishment Demon Beast to help you break through to the second level of the Spirit Chef realm."

"In this Cultivation World, cultivation level is the only true path. Don't put the cart before the horse," Yan Cang said sternly.

Yan Siyi was raised by Yan Cang from a young age, and she was quite familiar with her Grandfather Yan Cang's temperament, understanding that Yan Cang's current state indicated that he was somewhat angry.

In addition, Yan Siyi also realized that what Yan Cang said was indeed true.

Since entering the path of Spirit Chef, she has intended to improve her Spirit Cuisine cooked by Spirit Chef, which are even more effective than pills of the same level.

It's a pity that although she has Spirit Chef, she doesn't have much of it.

This is what led to her current predicament. If she were already a second-tier Spirit Chef, she would have been cooking second-tier Spirit Cuisine every day to aid her cultivation.

"Grandfather, I'll go into seclusion to cultivate from now on," Yan Siyi replied.

"That's more like it. I'll clean up the dishes on the table. You should quickly return to your Meditation Room for seclusion." Yan Cang said with satisfaction.

Yan Siyi nodded and obediently went up to a quiet room on the third floor of the Bamboo House in the courtyard to cultivate in seclusion.

As Yan Cang watched Yan Siyi's departing figure, his eyes gradually dimmed.

"It's time to find a reliable partner for this child."

"Otherwise, with my improvement of the Yan Cang Spirit Rice technique alone, the sect's higher-ups would probably only be able to protect Si Ling from being captured alive by those Foundation Establishment Completion scoundrels within the sect and used as their venting tools, so that she can cultivate quietly within the sect."

"However, given Si Yi's aptitude, if she stays quietly in the sect to cultivate, and I don't have much wealth left, I estimate that I can only help her break through to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment at most."

"With the help of a Daoist partner, perhaps this child can also reach a higher level."

Although Yan Cang earned a large amount of the Hundred Spirits Sect Contribution Points because he improved the First-Tier Superior-Grade Yan Cang Spirit Rice, which became famous throughout the Yan Kingdom in his early years.

He also gained the appreciation of Master Bailing of the Bailing Sect. After his cultivation of spiritual plants reached the second-tier superior level, he was entrusted with an important task and became the head of the Spiritual Plant Hall.

However, when Yan Cang created Yan Cang Spirit Rice, he was already close to a hundred years old. In order to Foundation Establishment, he first spent a lot of Contribution Points to make up for his physical deficiencies and restore his lifespan.

He tried twice more to reach the Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment finally succeeding.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment, his cultivation speed was slow because he had Four Spirit Roots. In order to improve his cultivation speed and reach a higher realm, he had to spend Contribution Points to buy good spiritual items.

This also led to him improving the Yan Cang Spirit Rice, and he spent most of the Contribution Points he earned.

Over the years, Yan Cang has made a lot of money as the head of the Spirit Plant Hall, but he has also spent most of his fortune on helping Yan Siyi establish her foundation and helping her father, who died young, establish his foundation.

This meant that he wasn't very wealthy; he was only considered to be moderately well-off.

Yan Cang thought about it carefully, but for the time being, he could not think of a suitable partner for his precious granddaughter Yan Siyi, so he decided to postpone the matter.

After a moment of distraction, he began to clean up the mess on the table.

After tidying up, he left the courtyard and went to the Hundred Spirits Sect Spirit Plant Zone to take care of the high-level Spirit Plant there.

On the other side.

Ling Pengyun stayed at the Hundred Spirits Sect for two more days, spending time with his mother, before Hundred Spirits Sect.

Ling Pengyun's mother, Yang Qiuyun, and Zhao Hong'e remained at the Hundred Spirits Sect to help Yang Siling and Wu Yan take care of Little Wu Hong.

At the same time, you can also cultivate a relationship with Little Wu Hong, who has the Wind Spirit Root.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Wu Yan were aware of the matter, they had no objection to it.

It's just a matter of two more people eating together.

Furthermore, Yang Qiuyun and Zhao Hong'e were originally the direct relatives of Little Wu Hong, Yang Siling was extremely pleased that these two elders could stay in the Hundred Spirits Sect.

Yang Siling holds a high position as the daughter-in-law of Golden Core True Person, and there are few people in the Hundred Spirits Sect who can speak for her.

Wu Yan felt guilty towards Yang Siling because Yang Siling had damaged her foundation by using Secret Method to give birth to Little Wu Hong. Wu Yan was also extremely happy that the two elders, Zhao Hong'e and Zhao Hundred Spirits Sect, would make Yang Siling happy.
