Eighth Level of Foundation Establishment; The Black-Tortoise Turtle Establishes Its Foundation

In the period that followed, with the end of the Beast Tide, the Hundred Spirits Sect returned to peace, and the Ling Clan began to arrange the marriage between the Supreme Elder Ling Pengliang and the Wen Clan's weapon-refining genius Wen Nianling.

This wedding was particularly grand, thanks to the deliberate planning of the Ling Clan.

The Clan Head Ling Yunhong, even lent the Lineage's Second Grade Middle Rank flying boat to the groom, Ling Pengliang, so that Ling Pengliang could send the Wedding Invitation to twenty or thirty Foundation Establishment Family throughout Jing Province.

Because of Ling Pengyun's reputation gained from participating in the counterattack during the recent Beast Tide chaos, the Foundation Establishment Family in Jing Province attached great importance to Ling Pengliang's marriage and each sent a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to attend.

Even some Foundation Establishment Family in Ning Province and Jiao Province, outside of Jing Province, sent cultivators after receiving the news.

Many Rogue Cultivator from the surrounding area also came to wish for good luck, bringing gifts with them.

The Ling Clan naturally welcomed them with smiles, as all visitors were guests, especially since these guests had brought many congratulatory gifts.

Of course, the Ling Clan also knew that these congratulatory gifts had to be returned.

During the Beast Tide, the Sun Clan Head, whose many Earth Silk Spirit Silkworm and Spirit Mulberry Tree had been taken by Ling Pengyun, also took the initiative to bring gifts, without mentioning the Earth Silk Spirit Silkworm and Spirit Mulberry Tree at all.

In response, the Ling Clan's higher-ups held Sun Clan's Clan Head in high regard, recognizing him as a man of great patience.

Once all the guests had arrived, the Wedding Feast soon began, and a festive atmosphere filled the entire Lingxiao Mountain.

The Wedding Feast lasted for three full days before it finally ended, and all the Wedding Feast who had come to attend left.

However, through this Wedding Feast, these cultivators also witnessed the six Foundation Establishment warriors that the Ling Clan had deliberately displayed.

This also led to the rapid rise of the Ling Clan's status among the Foundation Establishment Family throughout the entire Hundred Spirits Sect territory.

This is exactly what the Ling Clan family wants to see. What the Ling Clan needs now is to show their strength, to make everyone fear and feel threatened. This will make it easier for the Ling Clan to do business or anything else in the future.

After the Wedding Feast, Ling Pengyun also left the Lineage and went to Falling Dusk Mountain in Falling Rain County, the former residence of the Luo Clan, to guard the area.

Previously, Ling Pengxing was stationed here.

However, because Ling Pengliang, who had just become a second-tier Spirit Planter, was stationed at the Rock Scale Snake Den, Ling Pengyun, another second-tier Spirit Planter, was freed up and came to Falling Dusk Mountain to take up his post.

In this way, he can also rely on the Spirit Plant Secret Method to increase the growth rate of the more than 30 acres of Spirit Plant planted here.

After all, Ling Pengxing was originally stationed here, was not Spirit Planter.

Eight years have passed in a flash.

At the summit of Falling Dusk Mountain, within a cave cave abode, reside three Spirit Beast.

They are a fox, a roc, and a tortoise.

The fox and the green-haired roc lay prostrate on the ground, fast asleep, while the tortoise was in a pool several meters in size, constantly nibbling at the large patch of Connecting Cloud Water Grass that contained rich Water Spiritual Energy.

In the center of these three Spirit Beast, a cultivator sat cross-legged on the ground.

This person was none other than Ling Pengyun, who had been in seclusion here for eight years.

After an unknown amount of time, a shattering sound rang out from Ling Pengyun's Dantian.

Immediately afterwards, his aura rapidly increased, reaching the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.

He then opened his eyes, a look of joy appearing on his face.

"After eight years of seclusion, I have finally broken through to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer."

For the past eight years, besides taking care of the Spirit Plant in Falling Dusk Mountain, he has also relied on the numerous spiritual cultivation items worth 30,000 that he exchanged from the Hundred Spirits Sect during the Beast Tide to cultivate.

With the help of this vast array of cultivation spiritual objects, Ling Pengyun advanced from the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer to the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer five years ago.

If it weren't for the fact that the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer was too solid, he would have already broken through to this realm with the help of that huge amount of resources.

"His Divine Sense and spiritual power have both increased by several tens of percent, and are now comparable to the strength of a Divine Sense Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer cultivator."

"That's a good thing. With those second-tier Second Rank High Grade Law Artifact and the Combined Attack Technique I used, I'm afraid I can even fight against, or even kill, a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Completion stage."

Ling Pengyun felt the benefits brought by the improvement in his cultivation level, and his face showed even more joy.

Then, he patted the Storage Bag at his waist and took out a large amount of Cultivation Resources.

Even the rare, century-old Evergreen Spirit Water that can aid Foundation Establishment Cultivator in their cultivation is found in dozens of bottles here.

"I have used about 30% of this batch of spiritual items. The remaining 70% of Cultivation Resources should be enough to help me cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer or the Consummation Realm Foundation Establishment."

"However, it will be difficult to break through another level of cultivation in these last two years set by Ancestral Grandfather Yun Hong, relying on this batch of spiritual items."

"It seems that I can only start with my Natal Spirit Plant, the Thorn Vine, which Foundation Establishment Third Layer."

"As long as we give him a few more bottles of the Hundred-Year Evergreen Spirit Water, with the foundation of that Thorn Vine, breaking through to the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment stage shouldn't be too difficult."

"And when the time comes, I can rely on the spiritual power of this Spirit Plant to break through to the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment and use it to help me break through to the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer."

"At that time, the cultivation level of this Natal Spirit Plant will increase, and the power of the combined Combined Attack Technique, Thorn Python, that I used will also be enhanced."

"It's truly the best of both worlds."

"In this way, after two years, the destruction of the Bai Clan will be a bit safer."

Ling Pengyun surveyed the large number of spiritual objects before him and secretly made some calculations.

At that very moment, the Mountain Protection Formation set up by Falling Dusk Mountain was activated.

Ling Pengyun's eyes flickered slightly, and he transformed into a Qing Feng, disappearing from the cave abode.

When he reappeared, he was already at the Falling Dusk Mountain, in front of the beautiful female cultivator who had triggered the array restrictions of Falling Dusk Mountain.

"Peng Lin, weren't you in seclusion breaking through to the Qi Refining Consummation Realm? Why are you here from the Lineage?" Ling Pengyun asked, somewhat puzzled, as he looked at the pretty female cultivator who had arrived.

The pretty female cultivator was Ling Penglin. Currently, her cultivation level was at the Qi Training Ninth Layer, and she was refining her spiritual power to break through to the Qi Training Completion realm.

"Eighth Brother." She greeted Ling Pengyun with a cupped-hand salute first, and then explained.

"Some time ago, the Lineage assembled the four basic arrays for building the Spirit Plant Garden: the Morning Moon Transforming Rain Grand Array, the Nourishing Soil Grand Array, the Supporting Spring Grand Array, and the Congealing Wood Grand Array."

"The reason I came here is to set up these four formations in Falling Dusk Mountain, where you, Eighth Brother, are stationed, to build a Spirit Plant Garden."

"In addition, I will give you this year's offerings, Eighth Brother, as well as the Fruit Flower Honey, and other spiritual items you deserve, such as the Azure Moon Spirit Fish raised at Azure Stone Lake."

After saying this, Ling Penglin waved her hand and took out a Storage Bag from her Storage Bag, handing it to Ling Pengyun.

Ling Pengyun reached out and took the Storage Bag, a slight look of delight on his face.

"Unexpectedly, the Lineage has managed to gather these four formations in just three short years after repaying the enormous amount of Spirit Stone owed to the clansmen. This is a good thing. Let's hurry into the mountains."

There is already a Spirit Gathering Formation in the Spirit Field area of Falling Dusk Mountain, so there is no need to set up Spirit Gathering Formation.

Then, Ling Pengyun led Ling Penglin to the edge of the thirty-acre Spirit Field area on the Falling Dusk Mountain.

Ling Penglin wasted no time and immediately took out the four formations she had brought and set them up in this Spirit Field area.

In an instant, this area of Spirit Field underwent earth-shattering changes.

The second-tier Spirit Gathering Formation set up here, along with the First-Tier Superior-Grade Morning Moon Transforming Rain Grand Array, Nourishing Soil Grand Array, Supporting Spring Grand Array, and Congealing Wood Grand Array, are integrated into one, complementing each other.

The thirty acres of Spirit Plant planted here all benefited from the effects of these five formations and grew rapidly.

In the future, even if there is no Spirit Planter to take care of these thirty acres of Spirit Plant, the first-grade low, medium and high-grade Spirit Plant planted there can double their growth rate with the help of those five formations.

After finishing this matter, Ling Penglin, the Array Formation Master, bid farewell to Ling Pengyun and left the place to return to her Clan Mountain to Qi Training Completion a breakthrough in Qi Refining.

At the Falling Dusk Mountain, Ling Pengyun smiled as he watched Ling Penglin's energetic demeanor.

"This girl is quite dedicated to cultivation. She is only forty-five years old. Judging from her aura just now, she broke through to the Qi Training Completion in the last two years. She still has more than ten years before the Foundation Establishment stage, so she has two or three more opportunities to break through to the Foundation Establishment."

"Judging from Peng Lin's talent in becoming First-Tier Superior-Grade Array Formation Master several years ago, as long as she enters the Foundation Establishment, she will most likely become a Second Rank Array Formation Master as well."

"The Lineage must also know about this, and they will definitely do everything they can to help her Foundation Establishment."

"I just wonder how many times this girl will succeed in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment."

After Ling Penglin's figure disappeared, Ling Pengyun also came back to his senses and looked back at the Spirit Plant Garden on the side, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"With the assistance of the five complementary formations within this garden, and the support of several Secret Method for Spirit Plant, the growth rate of the Spirit Plant planted within this garden will be increased by more than two times."

"At that time, the profits from planting Spirit Plant here will also increase significantly."

"The Lineage is thriving; all that's missing is time... to build up its foundation."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun returned to the cave cave abode built on the mountaintop to stabilize his newly broken-through cultivation.

About half a month later.

Ling Pengyun, who was consolidating his cultivation, was suddenly awakened by a strange movement beside him.

He turned his head and looked at the large pool of water, several feet in size, from which the strange movement was coming from. Instantly, he saw a Black Armored Turtle, about ten feet in size, frantically absorbing the rich Spiritual Qi within the cave abode.

"This Black Armored Turtle is finally about to break through to the Qi Training Completion stage."

Ling Pengyun's expression brightened slightly.

The Black Armored Turtle in the pool was none other than Ling Pengyun's Spirit Beast.

The reason this tortoise was able to advance from the Qi Training Third Layer to this level in eight years was because Ling Pengyun fed it a considerable amount of fifty-year-old Heaven and Earth Spiritual Water over the past eight years, helping it to improve its cultivation.

In addition, this tortoise is inherently gifted, which is why it can cultivate at such a fast pace.

Several hours later, when the strange movements stopped, the Black Armored Turtle officially entered the Qi Refining Consummation Realm.

It opened its eyes and barked twice at Ling Pengyun, who was standing to the side, trying to please him.

Upon seeing this, Ling Pengyun understood the tortoise's meaning.

He patted the Storage Bag at his waist and threw out a large piece of Demon Beast meat.

Upon seeing this, the Black Armored Turtle's eyes gleamed, and it immediately pounced on the piece of Demon Beast meat, wolfing it down.

After the tortoise finished eating the meat, Ling Pengyun asked with a solemn expression.

Are you confident about achieving Foundation Establishment?

The Black Armored Turtle, which had already broken through to the Qi Refining Consummation Realm, nodded without any hesitation, indicating its agreement.

Ling Pengyun then took out a bottle of Small Hundred Spirits Water and a Meridian Protecting Pill that he had prepared for the turtle from his Storage Bag and handed them to the Black Armored Turtle.

"Both of these items are Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, which can increase your chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishment by 10%. Combined with your extraordinary talent, which gives you a 30% chance of Foundation Establishment, you have at least a 40% chance of Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment time."

"Take these two items quickly and focus on Foundation Establishment."

Both of Ling Pengyun's Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object were obtained from the Peace Cloud Yang Clan.

That bottle of Small Hundred Spirits Water was made by Yang Changxing of the Yang Clan from the Foundation Establishment Completion Little Wolf King that Ling Pengyun obtained during the Beast Tide.

Back then, Yang Changxing used that inner core to refine three bottles. Yang Changxing took one bottle, and the remaining two bottles belonged to Ling Pengyun.

Ling Pengyun still has a bottle of Small Hundred Spirits Water on him.

As for the Meridian Protecting Pill, it was purchased from the Yang Clan using spirit Spirit Stone.

Upon hearing this, the Black Armored Turtle was overjoyed and quickly consumed the Hundred Spirits Water and the Meridian Protecting Pill, falling into a deep sleep.

Ling Pengyun stopped paying attention to the tortoise and turned his gaze to the long-dormant Wind Shadow Peng beside him, a look of anticipation on his face.

"This Peng has been asleep for three years since it entered the Foundation Establishment Third Layer. I wonder when it will be able to break through the bottleneck and improve its cultivation like that Black Armored Turtle."

As his thoughts returned to their source, Ling Pengyun closed his eyes again.

A month later, the Black Armored Turtle, whose aptitude was several times better than Wind Shadow Peng's, successfully entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, just as Ling Pengyun had expected.

In the following two months, Ling Pengyun successfully raised the cultivation level of his Natal Spirit Plant to the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment by relying on the accumulation of a large number of spiritual objects.

Furthermore, with the help of the Spirit Plant, he broke through the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment and successfully raised his cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.
