The Windshadow Peng Establishes Its Foundation; the Little Black-Tortoise's Talent

"Long Xing Grand Uncle is truly a great talent, and he is only over 160 or 170 years old, with 20 or 30 years of lifespan remaining. It is likely that Long Xing Grand Uncle will have no problem breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Completion within his remaining lifespan."

"At that time, my maternal uncle's Pill Refining skills will probably also improve due to his enhanced cultivation level, and his success rate in refining spiritual items such as Small Hundred Spirits Water will only be higher. In the future, there will definitely be more and more Foundation Establishment Cultivator born in the Yang Clan."

"In addition, there's my cousin Yang Siling as a powerful backer."

"Within a hundred years, the Yang Clan will most likely become the strongest Lineage in Jing Province."

Ling Pengyun muttered to himself.

Coming to his senses, he didn't stand on ceremony and took the bottle of Small Hundred Spirits Water that Ling Yunhong handed him.

At the same time, an idea came to him, which he then voiced.

"Third Grandfather, do you know if the Yang Clan still possesses any Meridian Protecting Pill?"

"There should be. Are you planning to collect another Meridian Protecting Pill to combine with this bottle of Small Hundred Spirits Water to help your Wind Shadow Peng Foundation Establishment?" Ling Yunhong immediately understood Peng Yun's question and replied.

"Exactly, the Small Hundred Spirits Water only provides a 50% boost to Foundation Establishment. That's too low and not reliable," Ling Pengyun said.

"How many Spirit Stone do you have left? The Yang Clan no longer owes the Ling Clan family any favors. If you want to buy Meridian Protecting Pill from the Yang Clan, you will have to pay the market price of five thousand Spirit Stone."

Ling Yunhong agreed with this view and asked.

"I only have three thousand Spirit Stone left, which isn't enough to buy Meridian Protecting Pill."

"However, during my trip to the Hundred Spirits Sect, I used the numerous Demon Beast materials I possessed to craft six Daoist robes and Second Grade Magic Tool."

"I plan to give the only Second Grade Middle Rank inner armor magic Law Artifact to you, Third Grandfather. I will keep one of the other two Second Rank Low Grade inner armor magic Law Artifact for myself and give the other to my cousin Peng Liang to enhance the defensive capabilities of the three of us."

"This way, we can better prepare for any potential unrest."

"As for Peng Liang's younger brother, he has just Foundation Establishment and is not very strong. Even if there is turmoil in the future, we can let him stay in charge of the Lineage."

"I can give him the Second Rank Low Grade Mixed Rock Shield that I used in my early years, and I can also give him the Second Rank Low Grade Azure Steel Sword for protection."

"As for the other three Second Rank Low Grade Daoist robes and magic Law Artifact that I refined, I plan to sell them for Spirit Stone and then buy Meridian Protecting Pill from the Yang Clan."

"After all, the Yang Clan is an old Foundation Establishment Family. I'm afraid Yang Clan won't accept the three Daoist robes and magic Law Artifact in exchange for the Meridian Protecting Pill."

Ling Pengyun said.

Ling Pengyun intended to use the Spirit Stone he obtained from selling Second Grade Magic Tool to purchase Water Spirit Iron to enhance the power of his Lifebound Magic Item, the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Pearl.

However, now that he has obtained a bottle of Small Hundred Spirits Water, it is naturally more important for Wind Shadow Peng to Foundation Establishment.

After all, no matter what is said, Ling Pengyun already possesses two Second Rank High Grade Law Artifact, the Frost Sword and the Frost Transformation Flood Dragon Jade Bottle, so he is not lacking in offensive capabilities for the time being. If the power of his Lifebound Magic Item increases, it will only be icing on the cake.

As for handing over the only Second Grade Middle Rank inner armor to Ling Yunhong, it was also because Ling Pengyun considered the limitations of his own Divine Sense.

With his Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer Divine Sense, he could manipulate three Second Rank High Grade Law Artifact and his Lifebound Magic Item, the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Pearl, and even when performing the Combined Attack Technique, the Thorn Python, he was somewhat strained.

Therefore, he readily gave up that Second Grade Middle Rank inner armor Law Artifact.

Ling Yunhong heard that Ling Pengyun had crafted as many as six Second Grade Magic Tool.

He was also very pleased that they were willing to give him the highest-grade Second Grade Middle Rank inner armor.

A kind smile appeared on his face.

"Peng Yun, I'm very happy that you did this."

"However, the Lineage will not owe any of its members... including you. The Law Artifact you gave us this time will be accounted for at the normal market price. We will definitely pay you back in ten years."

"Since you already have three thousand Spirit Stone, you're not far from needing the five thousand Spirit Stone to buy the Meridian Protecting Pill."

"In that case, I will first use the Spirit Stone that the Lineage has reserved for the next two years to distribute as offerings to the clansmen. I will take out two thousand Spirit Stone and give them to you so that you can prioritize purchasing a Meridian Protecting Pill to assist Wind Shadow Peng in Foundation Establishment."

"If Wind Shadow Peng can reach the Foundation Establishment, the Lineage will be safer in the face of the impending turmoil."

Ling Pengyun had long anticipated that Ling Pengyun would purchase the magical Law Artifact given to his Lineage by Ling Pengyun using Spirit Stone as a form of accounting.

Cultivation Lineage are generally fair to their members, especially the Ling Clan, which has always been somewhat wealthy thanks to its Jade Series spiritual rice. They treat their members exceptionally well.

At least in the entire Huai River County, no other Lineage has been treated as well as the Ling Clan.

Although Ling Pengyun was tempted by Ling Yunhong's offer to move the Spirit Stone, he did not immediately agree.

Two thousand Spirit Stone is no small sum. He doesn't know when he'll be able to sell his three Daoist robes and Law Artifact. He's confident he can repay the Lineage with two thousand Spirit Stone in the next two years.

However, if something unexpected happens, the two thousand Spirit Stone that Ling Yunhong moved this time will become a huge deficit in the Lineage's finances, making it difficult for the Lineage to pay salaries to its members.

This matter could have a significant impact, weakening the Lineage's credibility.

"Peng Yun, it doesn't matter if you can't repay those two thousand Spirit Stone in time."

"After the Luo Clan Lineage was destroyed, we obtained a lot of spiritual items, including many that our clan could no longer use. We could easily sell them for a few thousand Spirit Stone."

"By the end of this year, the Lineage's first-tier Spirit Plant will also be ready for harvest. Our family's Alchemist can refine the spirit medicine into pills and sell them to earn Spirit Stone."

"Furthermore, even if the Lineage finances are truly tight, I can simply sell the two spare Spirit Gathering Formation in the Lineage."

"A second-tier Spirit Gathering Formation is such a valuable item that many Foundation Establishment Family would like to purchase it. As long as I spread the word, Foundation Establishment Family will definitely come to me to buy it."

Ling Yunhong also saw through Ling Pengyun's concerns and then spoke up.

Ling Pengyun was relieved after hearing this.

Afterwards, he chatted with Ling Yunhong about other things for a couple of minutes.

The two of them then went together to the Lineage Clan Repository and retrieved the two thousand Spirit Stone.

After handing over several Second Grade Magic Tool to Ling Yunhong, Ling Pengyun also went to the Yang Clan.

Yang Clan gave Ling Pengyun face and readily sold him a decent-quality Ling Pengyun Meridian Protecting Pill for the market price of five thousand yuan.

Two months later.

Deep within the Rock Scale Snake Den, beside a vast Spirit Field.

After taking the Meridian Protecting Pill and the Small Hundred Spirits Water, two Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, Wind Shadow Peng, who had been in a deep sleep for two months, suddenly unleashed a massive surge of spiritual energy.

Immediately afterwards, the Spiritual Qi within the entire Rock Scale Snake Den was drawn in by the Wind Shadow Peng and frantically absorbed into its body.

For nearly two months, Ling Pengyun has been protecting this eagle.

The Immortal Spirit Crane King, the Three-Eyed White Fox, and the little Black Armored Turtle that had just hatched half a month ago, who were also in the Rock Scale Snake Den, were all startled and turned their gazes toward the Wind Shadow Peng.

"After two months, this eagle has finally managed to stir up Spiritual Qi."

"With the foundation left by his first failed Foundation Establishment attempt, and with the help of the Pulse Meridian Protecting Pill and the Small Hundred Spirits Water, Wind Shadow Peng should have a greater than 70% chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Ling Pengyun gazed at the Wind Shadow Peng that had triggered the phenomenon of Qi Infusion, his eyes flashing with anticipation, but also mixed with a hint of worry.

Three days later, the phenomenon of Qi Infusion dissipated.

Wind Shadow Peng also successfully condensed an inner core and Liquid Spiritual Power within his body, thus successfully Foundation Establishment.

A Foundation Establishment aura emanated from his body.

"It's finally done."

Upon seeing this, Ling Pengyun sighed with delight.

Wind Shadow Peng opened his eyes the next moment.

It felt the spiritual power within its body, which was several times stronger than when it was in the Qi Training Stage, as well as the powerful Divine Sense, and let out a joyful cry.

Then, it looked at Ling Pengyun, who had been protecting it, and chirped a couple of times to express its gratitude.

He stood up again, took a step, walked to Ling Pengyun, and nudged Ling Pengyun's body with his head.

Seeing that Wind Shadow Peng was still so obedient after entering the Foundation Establishment, Ling Pengyun was quite satisfied. He patted Wind Shadow Peng's head and said something.

"Let me take a look around and see your flight speed after you enter the Foundation Establishment."

Wind Shadow Peng's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded.

Ling Pengyun also flipped over and sat on Wind Shadow Peng's back.

At that moment, Wind Shadow Peng also took a step and slowly walked out of the cave along the small passageway in the Rock Scale Snake Den.

Once it emerged from the Snake Cave, it spread its wings, flapped them continuously, and took flight.

After circling in the sky for about half an incense stick's time, Ling Pengyun roughly knew the eagle's flying speed.

When this eagle uses its Law Technique and flies at full speed, it can travel about 40,000 miles a day, which is two or three times faster than the Immortal Spirit Crane King when it was in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Ling Pengyun was quite surprised by this.

Both the Wind Shadow Peng and the Immortal Spirit Crane are magical Demon Beast skilled in flight, so their flight speeds should be roughly the same.

After some thought, Ling Pengyun could only attribute Wind Shadow Peng's incredible flying speed to the Yin Yang Primordial Qi he had given it years ago.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun tested Wind Shadow Peng's strength.

Only then did he ride the Peng bird back to the Rock Scale Snake Den.

After feeding Ci Peng a core of a demon Demon Beast in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment that he had deliberately saved, he instructed him to quickly stabilize his cultivation.

Having finished this task, Ling Pengyun walked to the pond that was about ten feet long and wide and covered with aquatic plants.

Inside the pool, a small Black Armored Turtle, about the size of a human head, was munching on aquatic plants that contained immense Water Spiritual Energy.

The little Black Armored Turtle was hatched from the Black Armored Turtle Egg that Peng Yun had obtained earlier. This turtle's innate Qi Training Third Layer level of Qi Refining.

The aquatic plants in the pool were grown from the roots of Second Grade Middle Rank Lotus Cloud Water Grass that Ling Pengyun found in the nest of the Black Armored Turtle in the Serpent Dragon Lake area.

Inside the pool, the little Black Armored Turtle that was nibbling on Lotus Cloud Water Grass saw Ling Pengyun arrive, immediately swam to the surface, climbed out of the pool, and walked to Ling Pengyun's Ling Pengyun, constantly trying to curry favor with him.

A smile also appeared on Ling Pengyun's face.

He gazed at the Black Armored Turtle, which had only been hatched for half a month and whose aura had already reached the Qi Training Third Layer Peak, and his smile deepened.

"I'm afraid that in about ten to fifteen months, this tortoise will be able to enter the Qi Training Middle Stage."

"This innate talent of reaching the Qi Training Third Layer is terrifying. It's strong. With the help of the Yin Yang Primordial Qi that I transferred into this turtle's body, this turtle's cultivation talent is probably comparable to my little nephew Wu Hong, who has the Wind Spirit Root."

"With the help of the Second Grade Middle Rank Lotus Cloud Water Grass in this pool, this turtle will probably reach the Qi Training Completion in about ten years and attempt to enter the Foundation Establishment, becoming my assistant."

"Furthermore, turtle-type Demon Beast have long lifespans and such fast cultivation speeds, so this turtle should have no problem breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Consummation Realm in the future."

"At that time, relying on its shell, which is even stronger than other defensive magic Law Artifact of the same level, the Black Armored Turtle should have a 10% or 20% chance of withstanding the Golden Core Tribulation and entering the Golden Core realm."

"If it can be done..."

Upon realizing this, Ling Pengyun immediately stopped thinking.

The Golden Core realm is too remote; even in the several Demon Beast Gathering Ground around the entire Yan Kingdom, there are not many Golden Core Demon Beast.

Coming to his senses, Ling Pengyun waved his hand and released a burst of spiritual energy, sending the little Black Armored Turtle back into the pool.

He then began to Hand Seals, Cloud Rain Technique to accelerate the growth of the Lotus Cloud Water Grass planted in the pond.

Although the little Black Armored Turtle was small, it had a huge appetite.

It is precisely because it can eat that it can cultivate so quickly.
