Ling Chengping, a Silkworm-Raising Prodigy

One month after the establishment of the Sky Talisman Commerce Association of the Beginning of Autumn.

In order to further boost the popularity of the Sky Talisman Commerce Association, the Ling Clan, the Yang Clan, and Yang Siling established a Heavenly Talisman Auction House in Serpent Dragon Marketplace Market, the largest market in the Hundred Spirits Sect territory, and held Heavenly Talisman Auction once every five years.

At this auction, the three parties offered a total of five Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object: three Pulse Meridian Protecting Pill, one bottle of Hundred Spirits Water, and one Foundation Establishment Pill.

The Meridian Protecting Pill was naturally provided by the Yang Clan.

The Hundred Spirits Water was provided by the Ling Clan. It was purchased by Ling Pengyun at the Serpent Dragon Marketplace and was reluctantly given out due to the need to boost the popularity of the Chamber of Commerce.

The Foundation Establishment Pill was taken out by Yang Siling.

Thanks to the effects of these five Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, all five thousand seats in the Heavenly Talisman Auction were filled to capacity.

The Ling Clan also made a fortune by putting a large number of unused but high-quality spiritual items on the auction floor, relying on the five Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object that were the final item in the auction.

Meanwhile, many Rogue Cultivator consigned unwanted items to the auction house, and the Sky Talisman Commerce Association also made a small profit by collecting a handling fee from this.

Gradually, with the support of various marketing methods and auctions, the reputation of the Sky Talisman Commerce Association spread throughout the entire Hundred Spirits Sect territory.

Many independent Rogue Cultivator or Lineage cultivators with some wealth will visit the Sky Talisman Thousand Treasure Pavilion Sky Talisman Thousand Treasure Pavilion whenever they arrive at a market town that has one.

With its reputation growing, the Sky Talisman Commerce Association reduced the value of bundled sales of spiritual items.

The original offer of a free Azure Moon Spirit Fish for purchasing one bottle of First-Tier Superior-Grade pill has been changed to requiring the purchase of two bottles to receive one free fish.

After all, bundling spiritual items with other products is still somewhat unprofitable, though this loss will mean earning significantly fewer Spirit Stone.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sky Talisman Commerce Association Sky Talisman Commerce Association, it wouldn't have been willing to do this.

Even so, the shops under the Sky Talisman Commerce Association were still bustling with customers.

The Ling Clan, the Yang Clan, Yang Siling also made a fortune through the operation of this chamber of commerce.

Time passed quickly, and three years went by in the blink of an eye.

A great deal of things have happened in these three years.

For the Ling Clan, the most important thing is that two of the Ling Clan three Foundation Establishment seeds, Ling Pengshan and Array Formation Master Ling Penglin, have successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The last Foundation Establishment seed Ling Chengxin, has also broken through to the Qi Training Ninth Layer and is now striving for the Qi Training Completion.

Ling Pengshan attempted to Foundation Establishment three years ago.

He had previously attempted Foundation Establishment, and although Foundation Establishment failed, it had given him a lot of experience.

In addition, the Lineage gave Ling Pengshan a portion of Hundred Spirits Water and a Pulse Meridian Protecting Pill to help him, so the probability of Ling Pengshan Foundation Establishment for the second time is as high as 50% to 60%.

It's perfectly normal for him to be able to break through; failing to break through to the Foundation Establishment would be a true failure.

It should be noted that the Ling Clan spent over 30,000 Spirit Stone on several Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object to help him Foundation Establishment.

Ling Penglin reached the Qi Refining Consummation Realm last year.

Subsequently, relying on the Hundred Spirits Water and the Meridian Protecting Pill that the Lineage had purchased in recent years, he successfully Foundation Establishment in one go.

Ling Penglin is also one of the few people in the Ling Clan Foundation Establishment who successfully Foundation Establishment.

With the addition of Ling Pengshan and Ling Penglin, the number of Foundation Establishment in the Ling Clan has increased to a total of twelve.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator are: Ling Yunhong, Ling Pengyun Clan Head at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer; Ling Pengxing at the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer; Ling Pengliang at the Fourth Layer Foundation Establishment of Foundation Establishment; Ling Pengqiu at the Fourth Layer Foundation Establishment of Foundation Establishment; Wen Nianling at the second level of Foundation Establishment; Ling Pengshan at the first level of Foundation Establishment; and Ling Penglin at the first level of Foundation Establishment.

Among the Foundation Establishment Spirit Beast are the Immortal Spirit Crane King, Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer Guardian Spirit Beast; the Wind Shadow Peng, Fourth Layer Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment spirit beast; the Black Armored Turtle, a second-level Foundation Establishment Fruit Flower Bee King, a first-level Foundation Establishment beast.

Aside from the change in the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The Sky Talisman Commerce Association, which the Ling Clan helped establish, has been doing better and better each year, Ling Clan has also made a lot of money from it.

The number of shops in the Sky Talisman Commerce Association has expanded from fifteen to twenty, covering all the towns and cities in the four states of the Hundred Spirits Sect territory.

As for the small markets set up by those Foundation Establishment Family, the Sky Talisman Commerce Association, to avoid incurring the wrath of those Foundation Establishment Family, wisely refrained from getting involved, just like the Hundred Spirits Chamber of Commerce.

Even so, the Sky Talisman Commerce Association of Commerce still did quite well, relying solely on those twenty highly renowned shops.

The Ling Clan, the Yang Clan, and Yang Siling all share the idea of expanding into other sect territories. However, each of these territories has its own local chamber of commerce, and once they set up shop, a price war is bound to break out.

After all, it would encroach on the interests of those local chambers of commerce.

The Sky Talisman Commerce Association has just been established and cannot afford to engage in price wars yet, so it can only consolidate its foundation first and wait and see how things develop in the future.

This day was early summer.

The Falling Dusk Mountain.

A little girl, about ten years old, with a beaming smile, ran out from a place shrouded in mist.

The little girl ran to the stone table under a giant green tree on the mountaintop and said happily to Ling Pengyun, who was sitting on the stone table enjoying reading.

"Peng Yun Earl, the thirty Spirit Mulberry Tree planted in the Spirit Plant Garden have produced one or two tenths more mulberries than the batch produced a few months ago. I estimate that each Mulberry Tree has produced at least a hundred mulberries."

"Thirty Spirit Mulberry, there are estimated to be three or four thousand Spirit Mulberry."

The Falling Dusk Mountain Spirit Plant Garden originally only had twenty-three Spirit Mulberry Tree. The extra seven Spirit Mulberry Tree were cultivated by Ling Pengyun using the roots of seven First Rank Low Grade Spirit Mulberry Tree.

However, the seven Spirit Mulberry Tree that were subsequently cultivated were not born from spirit seeds, and their aptitude was extremely weak. If they did not have a great fortuitous opportunity in this life, their grade would be stuck at the First Rank Low Grade.

The Spirit Mulberry Tree whose roots were cut off also suffered damage to its foundation, and its aptitude will also be affected.

However, for the Spirit Mulberry Tree, aptitude is not important; as long as it produces Spirit Mulberry Leaf, that's enough.

The Spirit Mulberry Tree planted in the Spirit Plant Garden, thanks to the enhancement of the Spirit Plant Garden's formation and the assistance of Ling Pengyun, a second-tier Spirit Planter, have changed from bearing fruit once a year to bearing fruit three times a year.

The same applies to the other first-tier spirit fruit trees.

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun put down his book, looked at the smiling little girl in front of him, and said with a smile.

"You little rascal, you're eyeing those Spirit Mulberry again, aren't you?"

The little girl's thoughts were seen through, but she didn't care. Instead, she looked at Ling Pengyun with even more anticipation in her big, bright eyes and called out in a coquettish tone.

"Peng Yun Earl, you are the best."

"You silly girl." Ling Pengyun was at his wits' end with this girl's coquettishness, so he chuckled and scolded her before saying with a smile.

"After one or two months, when that batch of mulberries ripens, five hundred Spirit Mulberry will be kept, and the rest will be handed over to the Lineage."

"I knew it, Peng Yun Earl, you're the best." The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard that there were enough five hundred delicious Spirit Mulberry to eat.

Although the Spirit Mulberry contains little Spiritual Qi and cannot compare with other spiritual fruits of the same grade, it tastes good and is an important item among the spiritual products sold by the Ling Clan when they helped establish the Sky Talisman Commerce Association.

Many opportunistic Rogue Cultivator, drawn by the allure of these Spirit Mulberry, went to shops under the Sky Talisman Commerce Association to purchase spiritual items, hoping to obtain some Spirit Mulberry for free.

Therefore, the Sky Talisman Commerce Association has a relatively large demand for Spirit Mulberry.

"Don't be too happy yet, little girl. You've been stuck at the Qi Training Third Layer for over a year. In this year, I've given you plenty of spiritual items to help you with your cultivation. It's really not right that you haven't broken through."

"If you haven't broken through by next summer when the Spirit Mulberry in the Spirit Plant Garden ripen, then I'll have to eat the Spirit Mulberry that have ripened for the third time this year."

Seeing the little girl's smug look, Ling Pengyun's smile deepened, and he spoke.

"Peng Yun Earl, how could you do this?"

"When Sister Yan comes to Falling Dusk Mountain in the autumn, I will definitely complain to Sister Yan." Upon hearing this, the little girl's smile vanished instantly. She sat down angrily in a chair in front of the stone table, glaring at Ling Pengyun.

Seeing the little girl's expression, Ling Pengyun felt helpless. He patted the Storage Bag at his waist, took out three First Rank Middle Grade Stone Spirit Walnut, and handed them to the little girl.

"With these three things, that should be enough, right?"

The little girl, who had been looking angry, was overjoyed upon seeing this and immediately took the three Stone Spirit Walnut.

"Peng Yun Earl. I always said that in the Lineage, Peng Yun Earl is the one who treats me the best."

"Peng Yun Earl, I'm going back to my cave abode to cultivate in seclusion."

After the little girl finished speaking with a grin, she skipped away and entered a cave abode called "Floating Duckweed" in Falling Dusk Mountain.

Ling Pengyun, still seated at the stone table, watched the little girl's departing figure with a headache.

"There's just no way to deal with this little girl."

The young girl's name was Ling Chengping. She was the twenty-eighth in the current generation of the Lineage, which consists of the characters Yun, Xiao, Peng, and Cheng. She was eleven years old and was born into an ordinary family.

However, this little girl was also pitiful. Not long after she was born, her parents died one after another from serious illness, and she grew up eating food from many different families.

This is why Ling Pengyun treats this girl so well; perhaps it's also mixed with a touch of heartache.

Besides, this girl has excellent talent in both cultivation and silkworm raising.

Although she possesses Three Spirit Roots —wood, water, and metal—this girl has an extremely strong affinity for Wood Spiritual Energy, and her cultivation speed is comparable to that of Dual Spirit Root.

At the same time, she is also the only Silkworm Farmer in the Lineage, and has an exceptional talent for silkworm breeding.

The Lineage's silkworm breeding tradition was passed down from the Sun Clan of Jiao Province.

This girl is only eleven years old, yet her skill in silkworm breeding is already close to the First Rank Middle Grade rank. Before long, she will be able to surpass her and raise her skill in silkworm breeding to the First Rank Middle Grade.

Keep in mind that her cultivation level is only at the Qi Training Third Layer Refining.

The Lineage valued the girl's talent, which is why they sent her to Falling Dusk Mountain to take care of the thirty Spirit Mulberry Tree in the Falling Dusk Mountain Spirit Plant Garden.

At the same time, Ling Pengyun, a powerful figure, can also teach this little girl cultivation.

After Ling Chengping left, Ling Pengyun, whose cultivation had hit a bottleneck, continued to read the books he was reading.

Half a month ago, Ling Pengyun used the large amount of Cultivation Resources he obtained during the Beast Tide to raise his cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer Peak.

Unfortunately, the bottleneck at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer is quite solid.

He will find it difficult to break through in a short period of time.

Of course, if one relied on vast Cultivation Resources, one could break through quickly, but Ling Pengyun was unwilling to expend such resources.

Therefore, Ling Pengyun is now focusing on meticulously refining the bottleneck.

When I'm bored, I sit at this stone table, look at the scenery outside the mountains, sip tea, and read some leisurely books.
