Family Rewards: Wind Shadow Peng Attempts Foundation Establishment

Ling Yunhong didn't care about the matter, smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry, in the past two years, the Lineage has earned a lot of Spirit Stone by relying on the share of that Sand Soil Mine and the batch of Yellow Sprout Grass you gave me a year ago."

"Furthermore, the price of this Meridian Protecting Pill that I purchased for you from the Peace Cloud Yang Clan was only three thousand Spirit Stone."

"Furthermore, if this Meridian Protecting Pill is given to you directly, the Lineage will not suffer a loss."

"That boy Peng Xing went deep into the Serpent Dragon Lake area a year ago to kill Demon Beast and earn a lot of Spirit Stone. He bought a lot of good things at the Earth Element Auction half a year ago, and then entered the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment in the last two months."

"After years of accumulation, I am confident that I can break through to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment within six months."

"When spring comes next year, I will join forces with the Cloud Mist Wen Clan and the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan clan to forcibly summon the other two clans of Huai River County and redistribute the share of that small Sand Soil Mine."

"At that time, how could the Luo Clan, with only two Foundation Establishment Cultivator, possibly be a match for my Ling Clan?"

"I'm not confident in killing Luo Minghui and Li Xia, the two Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Luo Clan, but I'm 100% confident in suppressing the Luo Clan Luo Clan and forcibly seizing their share of the mines."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Towards the end, Ling Yunhong even burst into laughter.

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun was startled.

It's perfectly normal for Ling Pengxing to break through to the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, after all, Ling Pengxing is daring and ruthless, and it's easy for him to earn Spirit Stone by killing Demon Beast.

Ling Yunhong's confidence in breaking through to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment in a short period of time surprised him.

The bottleneck between the sixth and Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer is considered the most difficult bottleneck to overcome Foundation Establishment Realm.

Most Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Cultivation World are stuck at this bottleneck.

This bottleneck is also a watershed moment.

"I didn't expect that the Third Grandfather would be confident of breaking through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer in just a few years after breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer. He truly deserves to be called Foundation Establishment cultivator who broke through alone."

"The Third Grandfather is only about 110 or 120 years old now, and he still has at least 80 or 90 years before he reaches the end of his Foundation Establishment period."

"Based on the Third Grandfather's cultivation speed, these eighty or ninety years are enough for the Third Grandfather to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Completion, and even enough for him to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment before the optimal age of one hundred and fifty when he breaks through to the Golden Core Foundation Establishment Completion."

"At that time, the Third Grandfather will also have the opportunity to attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage."

"If the Third Grandfather could attain the Golden Core..."

Thinking of this, Ling Pengyun's face lit up with a look of wild joy and anticipation.

Golden Core True Person are considered overlords in the entire Yan Kingdom, and there are very few among the Yan Country Five Sects.

If Ling Yunhong can truly reach the Golden Core, the Ling Clan will rely on Ling Yunhong to become the first Golden Core Family in the entire Hundred Spirits Sect territory.

However, the difficulty of achieving the Golden Core is also becoming apparent.

In the entire Yan Kingdom, although there are not many cultivators who can break through to the Foundation Establishment Completion before the age of 150, there are at least several dozen.

However, the total number of Golden Core cultivators within the five major sects of the Yan Kingdom is less than twenty.

This is the accumulation of the last five hundred years. After all, Golden Core cultivators have long lifespans, and many of them are not contemporary cultivators.

The difficulty of achieving the Golden Core also made Ling Pengyun think about his own future Dao Path.

He is only thirty-six years old and already has the cultivation of the Fourth Layer Foundation Establishment. There is a high probability that he will have the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core before the age of one hundred and fifty.

How will he attain enlightenment at that time?

This difficult problem left Ling Pengyun feeling quite helpless.

Breaking through to the Golden Core stage alone is like courting death, while seeking the Golden Core Spirit Object is too expensive.

Even the worst Golden Core Spirit Object costs at least 300,000 Spirit Stone. This amount of Spirit Stone is a huge sum, not to mention for the Ling Clan, but even for the Hundred Spirits Sect, a major Golden Core sect.

Not to mention, it's questionable whether the Ling Clan alone could afford to buy such a precious item.

Thinking about this gave Ling Pengyun a terrible headache.

After shaking his head to suppress these distracting thoughts, he, like Ling Yunhong, was filled with the joy of the upcoming spring Sand Soil Mine Martial Duel, where he would once again seize some more share of the Sand Soil Mine.

The Sand Soil Mine are like a gold mine; the more you get, the more Spirit Stone you get.

As the Lineage prospers, even Lineage Foundation Establishment Cultivator like him will receive support from the Lineage.

After the grandfather and grandson were overjoyed, Ling Yunhong's expression turned serious. He turned his head and looked at Wind Shadow Peng, who was crawling in the deep corner of the Snake Cave, and asked Ling Pengyun.

"Peng Yun, did you purchase this Meridian Protecting Pill for that Wind Shadow Peng that's been stuck at the Qi Training Completion stage?"

"Exactly," Ling Pengyun nodded.

Since the battle between Wind Shadow Peng and the Gray Feathered Eagle Group a month ago, he has been insisting on taking the Foundation Establishment Realm Gray Feathered Eagle to forcibly Foundation Establishment.

To hinder Wind Shadow Peng's attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment is tantamount to blocking its Dao Path. Ling Pengyun would never do such a thing, and might even incur Wind Shadow Peng's resentment for the rest of his life.

Although Demon Beast have strong physiques, without the assistance of spiritual objects, their success rate in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment on their own is not much higher than that of cultivators breaking through to the Foundation Establishment on their own.

Ling Pengyun didn't want Wind Shadow Peng, whom he had painstakingly nurtured to Qi Refining Consummation Realm, to die while breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

Helpless, he could only take a large portion of the Spirit Stone Spirit Stone he had saved to buy Mystic Yuan Heavy Iron and use them to purchase a second-grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, the Meridian Protecting Pill.

With the help of the Meridian Protecting Pill, even if Wind Shadow Peng fails to break through to the Foundation Establishment, he can still save his life.

As for the other Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, they are not available for purchase even with Spirit Stone during ordinary times; they only appear during auctions in various markets.

"Is Wind Shadow Peng confident in achieving Foundation Establishment?" Ling Yunhong frowned and asked after Ling Pengyun answered.

"I don't know either, but the matter of Foundation Establishment was proposed by that Wind Shadow Peng, so it should have some confidence." Ling Pengyun dared not make a guarantee.

"Since that's the case, I won't stop you from doing so. If the Lineage can have another Foundation Establishment Spirit Beast, it would be good. It can serve as the Guardian Spirit Beast of the Ling Clan in the future, protecting our clan for hundreds of years."

"I'll stay here while this Peng Foundation Establishment, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, since this place Non-Self the Ling Clan Territory," Ling Yunhong said.

"Thank you for your trouble, Third Grandfather." Ling Pengyun said with gratitude.

"It's alright," Ling Yunhong said.

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun didn't waste any more time and summoned the Wind Shadow Peng that was cultivating in a slumber.

Once he regained consciousness, Ling Pengyun stepped forward and spoke to him in detail.

"Wind Shadow, I thought you had prepared a second-rate Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, the Meridian Protecting Pill."

"Are you really planning to attempt Foundation Establishment so soon? If you're willing to wait a while, once I've purchased the Mystic Yuan Heavy Iron, I'll definitely save up some Spirit Stone for you to buy a better Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, Hundred Spirits Water, to assist you in your Foundation Establishment."

"At that time, your chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment will be much greater."

Ling Pengyun was sincere; he didn't expect that Peng would attempt to Foundation Establishment so hastily.

With the help of the Meridian Protecting Pill, although Wind Shadow Peng's failure to break through to the Foundation Establishment did not lead to his death, the valuable Pulse Meridian Protecting Pill was wasted.

Upon hearing what Ling Pengyun said, Wind Shadow Peng also wanted to wait several decades until Ling Pengyun became more wealthy before attempting to Foundation Establishment.

But these decades are too long, and there's no guarantee that other changes won't occur during this period.

Judging from the recent situation with the Gray Feathered Eagle Group, Ling Pengyun's enemies, who possess Foundation Establishment cultivation, must also be Foundation Establishment Realm Demon Beast or cultivators.

It only has the Qi Training Completion. If it participates in this kind of battle without the protection of Foundation Establishment combat power, it will be difficult to survive in this Foundation Establishment battle.

Furthermore, its mission is to protect its Master Ling Pengyun, but with its current strength, it would be good enough if it didn't become a hindrance to Ling Pengyun.

In recent years, Ling Pengyun has rarely ridden it for travel, and instead mostly rides the Immortal Spirit Crane King, which is in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment.

This made Wind Shadow Peng extremely jealous.

Regardless, he was determined to try the Foundation Establishment. Even if it meant his own demise, it would be better than staying by Ling Pengyun's side as a mere supporting character.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Wind Shadow Peng nodded with unwavering determination.

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun stopped trying to persuade him and placed the bottle of Meridian Protecting Pill that Ling Yunhong had just given him, as well as the inner core of a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, in front of Wind Shadow Peng.

That Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast inner core was found when Ling Pengyun, Qin Shi, and the others returned to Tu Yuan Market Town from the Serpent Dragon Lake area.

Ling Pengyun traded the complete corpse of a Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Gray Feathered Eagle, along with its inner core, to Qin Shi and the others.

"Make the most of this opportunity."

After saying this, Ling Pengyun walked to the side, took out a thousand Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag, placed them in the Rock Scale Snake Den Rock Scale Snake Den, and activated the Spirit Gathering Formation set up inside the cave to Spirit Stone into pure spiritual energy.

Most of the Spiritual Qi within the Rock Scale Snake Den was used to supply the Spirit Plant grown in the Spirit Field.

There wasn't much Spiritual Qi left, barely enough for Ling Pengyun to cultivate on his own, and it was far from enough to sustain Wind Shadow Peng's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment.

Whether it's Demon Beast or a cultivator breaking through to the Foundation Establishment, both require a vast amount of Spiritual Qi for support.

Just as Ling Pengyun activated the Spirit Gathering Formation, Wind Shadow Peng, who had been preparing for Foundation Establishment for nearly a month, also swallowed the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment inner core and the Meridian Protecting Pill, and fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, Ling Pengyun walked to Ling Yunhong's side, sat down cross-legged, and set up a Soundproof Restriction around himself to prevent his conversation with Ling Yunhong from affecting Wind Shadow Peng, who was breaking through to the Foundation Establishment.

"Third Grandfather, some time ago, in Tu Yuan Market Town, through the introduction of the descendants of the Hundred Spirits Sect, I made friends with several high-ranking descendants of the Hundred Spirits Sect."

"From the children of those high-ranking officials, I learned that the Spirit Array True Person who was stationed in Tu Yuan Market Town returned to the Hundred Spirits Sect with a number of Foundation Establishment Cultivator half a year ago."

"According to my guess, the reason why Old Ancestor Mo is doing this is probably for the three-hundred-year-old Evergreen Spirit Fruit that is about to ripen on the Evergreen Spirit Tree that is the Hundred Spirits Sect."

"We intend to use this method to intimidate the other two Golden Core True Person of the Hundred Spirits Sect."

"Furthermore, during this period, the descendants of the high-ranking members of the Hundred Spirits Sect gathered in Tu Yuan Market Town, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Hundred Spirits Sect. It seems that the three-hundred-year-old Evergreen Spirit Fruit that is about to mature is not something that only Spirit Array True Person wants."

"In most cases, the three Golden Core True Person of the Hundred Spirits Sect will fall out over that three-hundred-year-old Evergreen Spirit Fruit, leading to turmoil."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yunhong frowned immediately.

Three years ago, during the Demon Beast Uprising, he learned from several friends in the Hundred Spirits Sect that the Hundred Spirits Sect's three-hundred-year-old Evergreen Spirit Fruit was about to ripen.

After a moment of silence, a ruthless glint flashed in Ling Yunhong's eyes, and he spoke with a hint of deeper meaning.

"If chaos is to be made, then let it be a great mess."

"Perhaps the turmoil of the future will be an opportunity for the Ling Clan to rise, and also a good opportunity to accumulate wealth."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun immediately understood, as this was exactly what he was thinking.

With the current size of the Ling Clan, although the number of clansmen cannot compare with other established Foundation Establishment Family, their Foundation Establishment combat strength is completely comparable to those established Foundation Establishment Family.

In fact, once Ling Yunhong enters the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, the Ling Clan's Foundation Establishment combat strength will be even stronger than that of ordinary established Foundation Establishment Family.

This level of strength far surpasses that of many Foundation Establishment Family within the Hundred Spirits Sect territory.

"Peng Yun, you did a good job this time. Try to make friends with as many of the Hundred Spirits Sect's disciples as possible. More friends mean more information channels," Ling Yunhong said again.

"I understand, Third Grandfather."

After Ling Pengyun responded, he patted the Storage Bag at his waist and summoned the remaining three Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Gray Feathered Eagle inner cores, one Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Black Armored Turtle inner core.

He also handed over the set of Second Rank Low Grade Yellow Sand Erosion Array Flag and several array manuals obtained from killing Luo Qiuming to Ling Yunhong.

"Third Grandfather, those few Foundation Establishment demon Demon Beast inner cores were obtained by me recently when I followed those high-ranking descendants of the Hundred Spirits Sect Third Grandfather into the Serpent Dragon Lake area to kill Demon Beast. I wonder if you could help me refine some Spirit Gathering Pill?"

"The other set of formations and several books on formations were obtained after I killed Luo Qiuming. I have no use for these Array Formation Master ' things, and I am reluctant to sell these precious items, so I plan to keep them in the clan."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yunhong looked at the set of Yellow Sand Erosion Array Flag, his eyes gleaming slightly.

He understood the value of this set of flags.

At the same time, he was very satisfied with Ling Pengyun handing over such a valuable item.

The Ling Clan, which now has few valuable possessions, needs actions like those of Ling Pengyun.

Only when the Lineage's senior members take the lead can more of the family's precious items be provided.

This will make things convenient for future generations.

It's a case of one generation planting the trees, and another pruning them.

Of course, whether it's a high-ranking member or an ordinary member of the clan who hands over spiritual items to the Lineage, the Lineage will not treat its members unfairly.

"Peng Yun, refining the Spirit Gathering Pill with those three Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast beast inner cores is easy enough, but I'm not very confident in refining Second Grade Middle Rank Spirit Gathering Pill with those two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast inner cores. It might fail."

"As for this set of array flags and those several books on array techniques, they are all quite valuable."

"The Lineage rewards you based on Contribution Points, which will inevitably put you at a disadvantage, since the Lineage doesn't have anything good right now, Contribution Points are useless to Foundation Establishment Cultivator like us."

"Therefore, you will be rewarded with Spirit Stone for handing over this set of array flags and these several books on array techniques."

"It's packaged together for four thousand Spirit Stone, to be paid to you over ten years. How does that sound?"

"Of course, these four thousand Spirit Stone do not include the eight thousand Spirit Stone that the Lineage funded for you to purchase the Mystic Yuan Heavy Iron."

"The Lineage will still give you the eight thousand Spirit Stone that helped you purchase the Mystic Yuan Heavy Iron."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun's expression brightened, and he said, "I trust your Pill Refining skills, Third Grandfather. Even if I fail, you can practice on it. As for the array flags and array manuals, paying with Spirit Stone is certainly acceptable."
