A Deal with Spirit Talisman Adept Wu Tian

After watching Yang Siling leave, Ling Pengyun felt uneasy, fearing that Yang Siling's father-in-law, the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor, would refuse to let the Luo Clan's Spirit Vein belong to the Ling Clan family.

If that happens, the Ling Clan's destruction of the Luo Clan will only result in plundering the Luo Clan's spiritual treasures, greatly reducing their gains and making it far less worthwhile than obtaining those Spirit Vein.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea's time, Yang Siling, who had just left, quickly returned.

"Peng Yun, your father-in-law has agreed to see you, but whether this matter will be successful is still uncertain." After saying this, Yang Siling transmitted another message.

"If you want things to go smoothly, you'd better provide more Sand Soil Ore, as the sect has a significant shortage of spirit iron."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun's anxiety lessened somewhat.

The fact that they were able to meet with the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor at least shows that the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor did not resent the Ling Clan's occupation of the Luo Clan Clan's Spirit Vein after the Ling Clan destroyed the Luo Clan.

The lack of aversion indicates that the Ling Clan is not without a chance to obtain the Spirit Vein of the Luo Clan.

As for Yang Siling's second half of the telepathic message, it was clearly something she didn't want outsiders to hear, or something she didn't want the Tong Tian Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor to hear.

After giving Yang Siling a grateful look, Ling Pengyun followed her along a path deeper into the Yang Siling Spirit Talisman Residence.

As they ventured deeper into the Spirit Talisman Residence, the surrounding Spiritual Qi became even more concentrated.

Soon, the two left and arrived at the back mountain of Spirit Talisman Residence.

This mountain is also called Spirit Talisman Mountain. There is a cave abode on the top of the mountain called Spirit Talisman Cave Residence, cave abode is the cultivation place of Spirit Talisman True Person Wu Tian.

When Ling Pengyun arrived at this place, he was shocked to find that the Spiritual Qi energy around him was several times, or even ten times, more concentrated than Spiritual Qi of the Clan Mountain.

"No wonder it's the cultivation place of the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor." Ling Pengyun sighed inwardly.

After a moment of stunned silence, he quickly came to his senses and followed his cousin Yang Siling to the top of Spirit Talisman Mountain, to the gate of the cave abode with the four characters "Spirit Talisman Cave Residence" hanging on the plaque.

As the two arrived, the cave abode entrance quietly opened.

"Young friend Ling, please come in."

A man's voice came from inside the cave abode.

Ling Pengyun had exchanged a few words with Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor during his nephew Little Wu Hong's Hundred Days Banquet. Upon hearing this, he knew it was Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor's voice.

He glanced at Yang Siling beside him, and seeing that Yang Siling nodded slightly, he followed her into the open Spirit Talisman Cave Residence.

After he entered the cave abode, the open door closed.

Yang Siling waited outside the cave abode entrance.

at the same time.

Ling Pengyun entered the Spirit Talisman Cave Residence and walked along the path for a while before entering a very simple hall.

Although the hall was not luxuriously decorated, it was fully equipped with chairs.

Most importantly, the Spiritual Qi inside the living room is twice as concentrated as that outside.

The Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor Wu Tian is currently sitting in the main seat of this living room.

"Senior." Upon seeing Wu Tian, Ling Pengyun immediately bowed and clasped his hands in greeting.

Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor Wu Tian waved his hand and released a burst of spiritual energy to help the bowing Ling Pengyun up, then asked him a question.

"That child, Si Ling, has already told me what you requested."

"To make a long story short, 30,000 catties of Sand Soil Ore is too little; it's not worth me having the Falling Dusk Luo Clan bestow those Spirit Vein upon your Ling Clan."

Ling Pengyun's expression shifted slightly upon seeing Wu Tian's bluntness.

He didn't waste any more time, and remembering Yang Siling's earlier telepathic guidance, he followed suit.

"50,000 catties of First-Tier Superior-Grade Sand Soil Ore."

Wu Tian's expression remained unchanged, showing no emotional fluctuation, as he spoke.

"Although our Hundred Spirits Sect is short of Spirit Iron Ore, 50,000 catties of ore can only solve our Hundred Spirits Sect needs. Before long, our Hundred Spirits Sect will still be short of Spirit Iron Ore."

"This amount of benefit is not enough."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun frowned slightly.

Fifty thousand catties of First-Tier Superior-Grade Sand Soil Ore was the limit that the Ling Clan could provide.

Furthermore, this 50,000 jin of first-grade Sand Soil Ore also includes the portion of Sand Soil Mine that the Luo Clan would receive after the Ling Clan destroyed the Luo Clan.

Otherwise, the Ling Clan family alone could not have produced so much Sand Soil Mine Sand Soil Ore.

Of course, such an effort would be worthwhile if it could secure the Luo Clan's Spirit Vein.

"Senior, may I ask what you desire?" Ling Pengyun sensed that Wu Tian, Old Ancestor, had something to say, so he spoke up.

"I can give all the first and even Second Rank Spirit Vein of the Luo Clan to the Ling Clan. However, I need 30% of the profits from the Spirit Field cultivated by your Ling Clan on those Spirit Vein in the Luo Clan family's territory and the Spirit Plant grown there. This period will last for 100 years. After 100 years, we will be even."

"Furthermore, do things for me when necessary."

Seeing that Ling Pengyun had taken the initiative to ask, Wu Tian no longer concealed his thoughts and spoke out.

Ling Pengyun frowned even more when he heard Wu Tian's demanding requirements.

The Luo Clan's territory is even richer than the Ling Clan Territory, with more than twenty First Rank Spirit Vein. These Spirit Vein are enough to cultivate nearly one hundred to one hundred and fifty acres of first-order Spirit Field.

These Spirit Field are planted with Spirit Plant, and each year they can yield Spirit Plant worth at least three to four thousand Spirit Stone.

If 30% of the profits are given to Wu Tian, that's at least a thousand Spirit Stone a year, ten thousand Spirit Stone in ten years, and a hundred thousand Spirit Stone in a hundred years.

In addition, there was 50,000 jin of First-Tier Superior-Grade Sand Soil Ore, worth 50,000 Spirit Stone.

This time, asking the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor for help will cost 150,000 Spirit Stone in total.

Although it wasn't given all at once, Ling Pengyun still felt extremely distressed.

Such a quantity of Spirit Stone would be extremely large for the Ling Clan, Ling Pengyun dared not agree to it easily, since he was not the only one in charge of the Ling Clan.

As for the Luo Clan family's Spirit Field, it is normal to obtain so many Spirit Stone every year from planting Spirit Plant; basically, all major Foundation Establishment Family are like this.

The profits from cultivating Spirit Plant are a major source of income for each Lineage.

The reason why planting Spirit Plant can generate such great profits is because the offerings to the clan members are not included.

If we include the offerings to our clansmen, the Spirit Stone earned from planting Spirit Plant each year probably wouldn't be enough.

This is why every Foundation Establishment clan needs to master at least one of the many skills, otherwise they will always be in deficit.

The income from Spirit Plant can only be considered a small part of the income of a Foundation Establishment clan, rather than a real profit.

As the saying goes, a Foundation Establishment Family is considered wealthy if its annual income is one-tenth of its annual revenue.

"I can agree to the Luo Clan family's request for a 30% share of Spirit Plant in the Spirit Vein. However, the request you have for the Ling Clan is rather demanding. If the matter you require of my clan is too dangerous, will the Ling Clan have the right to refuse?"

After a moment's hesitation, Ling Pengyun finally made up his mind.

"Don't worry, I won't let the Ling Clan go to their deaths. I'm still waiting for the share of Spirit Plant after the Ling Clan takes over the Luo Clan."

"My Hundred Spirits Sect is not short of people. As long as I call, I can mobilize nearly half of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the entire sect. Why should your Ling Clan have to risk your lives for me?"

"It's just that, when necessary, I'll need your Ling Clan to help me with some small favors."

Seeing that Ling Pengyun agreed to his proposal so quickly, Wu Tian couldn't help but think more highly of Ling Pengyun, and he followed suit.

Hearing this, Ling Pengyun felt much more at ease.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, senior," Ling Pengyun said.

"It's a small matter. I heard that you are close to Yan Cang, the Hall Master the Spirit Plant Hall of my Hundred Spirits Sect. Is that true?" Wu Tian asked.

"I Dao Discussion with Senior Yan Cang several times. I wonder what you are asking about now?" Ling Pengyun's expression shifted slightly. He dared not hide anything and told the truth.

"It's alright. Yan Cang has never liked making friends with others. The fact that you 'Yan Cang his eye means you must have exceptional talent in the field of Spirit Plant."

"If you wish to leave your Lineage and join my Hundred Spirits Sect, I can recommend you as the deputy Hall Master of the Spirit Plant Hall. If you achieve something, it is not impossible for you to succeed Yan Cang Yan Cang when his lifespan runs out and he retires."

"Young friend, are you interested in this matter?" Wu Tian asked with a smile.

Ling Pengyun was quite tempted by this matter.

It should be noted that even if one is only the deputy Hall Master of the Spirit Plant Hall of the Hundred Spirits Sect, one can still be considered a high-ranking member below the Golden Core stage in the Hundred Spirits Sect.

Their status as patriarchs goes without saying, and they can certainly make a lot of money off them.

However, he relied on his Lineage and was not a female cultivator. He was Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object cultivated by the Lineage when he reached the Foundation Establishment. The Lineage also helped him. Since he entered the Foundation Establishment, the Clan Head Ling Yunhong has never been short of giving him second-tier pills.

Under these circumstances, Ling Pengyun immediately suppressed his desire.

If he agrees to this, he would be an ungrateful person.

As for Wu Tian, who suddenly offered such a huge reward, Ling Pengyun had guessed something from Wu Tian's greed just now.

"Thank you for your high regard, senior. However, I am aware of my own abilities and am afraid I am not up to the task." Although Ling Pengyun refused, he said apologetically to avoid Wu Tian having any ulterior motives.

"Since you are unwilling, I will not force you. This is the Second Rank High Grade -Formation Breaking Talisman you requested. As for the Luo Clan's Spirit Vein, I will handle it for your Ling Clan. You may leave."

Seeing that Ling Pengyun refused, Wu Tian didn't say anything more. He took out a Spirit Talisman Cave from his Storage Bag, handed it to Ling Pengyun, and waved his hand.

After receiving the Formation Breaking Talisman, Ling Pengyun thanked Wu Tian any longer, cupped his hands in greeting before turning and leaving the cave abode via the cave abode path.

Wu Tian, who was still sitting in the main seat of the hall, looked at Ling Pengyun's back and revealed a deep meaning.

"Si Ling's relative has a good character and is valued by Yan Cang. Her talent in Spirit Plant is at least one level higher than that group of useless people in the Spirit Plant Hall."

"It's a pity this person didn't join the sect. Otherwise, with his talent for Spirit Plant and my help, it wouldn't be difficult for him to become the Hall Master of our sect's Spirit Plant Hall."

"In the future, I can also use him to make some extra money from the Spirit Field's numerous Spirit Plant Garden."

"Under these circumstances, I plan to purchase the Spirit Stone needed for Xiao Hong to break through to the Golden Core Spirit Object, which will also allow me to raise them more quickly."

"What a pity."

The "Xiao Hong" that Wu Tian mentioned is naturally Yang Siling's only son, Wu Hong, who possesses the Wind Spirit Root.

In Wu Tian's mind, there was absolutely no problem for his beloved grandson Wu Hong to reach the Foundation Establishment Consummation Realm before the optimal age of 150 for breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

Wu Hong would also have the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core stage. If he had a Golden Core Spirit Object to help him, Wu Hong chances of breaking through to the Golden Core would be even greater.

The thought of having two Golden Core cultivators in one family excited Wu Tian.

However, spiritual items that help cultivators break through to the Golden Core stage are extremely expensive.

This led Wu Tian to constantly seek out profitable opportunities to accumulate Spirit Stone ever since Wu Tian beloved grandson Wu Hong was born and he learned that Wu Tian's Spirit Root was Wind Spirit Root.

His return to the Hundred Spirits Sect from Tu Yuan Market Town was due to the Hundred Spirits Sect leader Hundred Spirits True Person, offering him a low-grade Third Rank Low Grade defensive Law Artifact in exchange for keeping an eye on the Spirit Array True Person.

To prevent Spirit Array True Person who intend to leave the sect from causing trouble within the sect.

Outside the Spirit Talisman Cave Residence.

Seeing the joy on Ling Pengyun's face as he walked out of the cave abode, Yang Siling immediately asked him.

"Peng Yun, are the Formation Breaking Talisman and the Spirit Vein all settled?"

"Both things have been accomplished, and I have to thank you, cousin, for this." Ling Pengyun replied with a smile, then took out a bulging Storage Bag from his pocket, handed it to Yang Siling, and introduced it.

"Cousin, I know you have plenty of spiritual items. This Storage Bag contains some inexpensive food items, such as Azure Moon Spirit Fish, Songhua Spirit Chicken, and Azure Spirit Bamboo Shoots. I hope you won't find them too cheap."

These spiritual items were all specially prepared by Ling Pengyun when he came to Lineage Hundred Spirits Sect. Including the ten or so catties of First Rank Middle Grade Fruit Flower Honey he gave to his nephew Wu Hong earlier, which was also specially prepared.

The claim that I came in a hurry to talk to my nephew, Little Wu Hong, was just a figure of speech.

Of course, this was only meant to fool that kid Little Wu Hong. Yang Siling and the others were experienced and knew these kinds of rhetoric.

The Ling Clan has a weak foundation, while Yang Siling has the backing of Golden Core True Person, so she has no shortage of spiritual resources.

The Ling Clan was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment Family, and they couldn't afford to give anything that would make their Golden Core daughter-in-law Yang Siling, look at them differently. They could only choose something thoughtful to express their gratitude to the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor Wu Tian for helping Yang Siling to make the connection.

Upon hearing this, Yang Siling understood what Ling Pengyun meant.

Although the gifts Ling Pengyun gave were meager, not even worth a thousand Spirit Stone, the food was indeed delicious. Ling Pengyun would bring these spiritual items when he came to the Hundred Spirits Sect in the past, and Yang Siling had tasted them before.

Yang Siling especially loved the incredibly delicious Azure Moon Spirit Fish.

However, this fish is extremely rare; it is not even found within the Hundred Spirits Sect, and is unique to the Ling Clan.

Yang Siling's foundation was already destroyed because of giving birth to Wu Hong, and with the backing of the Golden Core True Person Wu Tian, she didn't need to worry about spiritual objects at all. Instead, she was interested in these delicious foods.

Yang Siling, who has no particular Dao Path, now focuses on enjoying life.

She was very satisfied with the gift Ling Pengyun had given her.

"Peng Yun, you're so thoughtful." Yang Siling smiled as she accepted the Storage Bag.

"It's almost lunchtime, how about we have lunch together?"

"Of course," Ling Pengyun said.

Afterwards, he and Yang Siling left the place together and returned to Spirit Talisman Residence. They then invited Yang Qiuyun, Zhao Hong'e, and Wu Hong to have lunch together.

During their meal and casual conversation, Ling Pengyun learned from Yang Siling that his brother-in-law Wu Yan, was in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Ling Pengyun was in a hurry to return to Luo Clan Mountain, so after lunch he bid farewell to his elders and left the place.
