The Fate of the Sixth Qi of Yin and Yang, the Primordial Beginning

With his thoughts returning to normal, Ling Pengyun stopped thinking about it. He waved his hand to remove the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Fire, took out the newly refined Second Rank Low Grade small Refining Furnace, examined it carefully, and made his own comments.

"Although this Refining Furnace has reached the level of Second Rank Low Grade Law Artifact of medium quality, the refining technique is still somewhat rough, and the connection between the four spiritual rune restrictions on the Refining Furnace is still somewhat weak."

"If this process could be perfected, this Refining Furnace might have a chance to directly become Higher Vehicle Second Rank Low Grade Law Artifact."

"In the future, we will need to put more effort into the Spirit Suppression Technique."

After some deliberation, Ling Pengyun waved his hand and sent the newly forged Second Rank Low Grade Refining Furnace flying into the air.

Then, a stream of spiritual energy was poured into it.

The Refining Furnace, which was no bigger than a fist, flashed a bright red light and quickly expanded to a width of one zhang and a height of half a zhang.

Ling Pengyun also waved his hand, summoning a ball of Foundation Establishment spiritual fire to strike the Second Rank Low Grade Refining Furnace, burning its bottom.

Within the vast expanse, red spiritual patterns appeared on the large Refining Furnace, continuously absorbing the temperature of the Foundation Establishment spiritual fire.

In just ten breaths, the temperature inside the Refining Furnace reached a level suitable for refining spiritual materials.

Upon seeing this, Ling Pengyun's expression brightened with joy.

"The Refining Furnace with the Flame Fire Spirit Pattern restriction is really useful. With the help of this Refining Furnace in the future, I can reduce the spiritual power consumption by at least 30% when forging magical Law Artifact, which will greatly reduce the burden on my spiritual power."

Having learned of the effects of this Refining Furnace, Ling Pengyun named it "Flame Fire Spirit Pattern- Refining Furnace" after the furnace's core spiritual pattern, "Flame Fire Refining Furnace".

He then closed his Cultivation Method and began to absorb the rich Spiritual Qi within the Meditation Room, restoring nearly 70% of the spiritual power he had consumed.

Once he was back to his best condition, he used the Second Rank Low Grade Flame Fire Refining Furnace and the last batch of materials from that Second Rank Low Grade Refining Furnace to refine it once more.

Unfortunately, even with the help of Second Rank Low Grade Flame Fire Refining Furnace, Ling Pengyun made a mistake in the step of suppressing the spirit pattern restriction, resulting in the failure of the refining process.

"Unexpectedly, this weapon forging attempt has failed."

"It seems that the matter of refining a Second Rank Low Grade -Refining Furnace for my sister-in -Nian Ling can only wait until another opportunity arises."

Ling Pengyun waved his hand and took out the large mass of liquid that had been reduced to mortal form due to the failed refining process inside the Flame Fire Refining Furnace, and sighed helplessly.

Wen Nianling is second only to Ling Pengyun in the Lineage's weapon crafting skills.

Now, she has a success rate of about 30% to 40% in refining the Second Rank Low Grade Law Artifact she is good at, which makes her profitable.

If Wen Nianling also had a Second Rank Low Grade -Refining Furnace to assist her, she could bring more benefits to the Ling Clan.

After all, she is now a member of the Ling Clan family and was raised by the Ling Clan.

In the following half month, Ling Pengyun used the last few thousand catties of first-order Water Spirit Iron on his body to temper his natal Lifebound Magic Item, Mystic Yuan Heavy Iron, to a weight of 65,000 catties.

Once Ling Pengyun fully utilizes this Law Artifact and activates the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Spirit Pattern on Law Artifact, the weight of the Law Artifact will increase exponentially, reaching a force of 130,000 jin.

Such power is comparable to that of a Higher Vehicle Second Rank High Grade heavy-duty Law Artifact.

This is the power of Higher Vehicle Lifebound Magic Item.

Time flies, and the seasons change constantly.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

At the time of Lichun (the beginning of spring).

It was early morning that day.

At the summit of Falling Dusk Mountain, Ling Pengyun sat cross-legged on a flat rock, circulating the "Yin Yang Primordial Scripture" to absorb the First Sun Power into his body.

Ling Pengyun only stopped when the First Sun faded and the sun was directly overhead in the sky.

With the help of the First Sun Power today, after nine years, he has once again condensed a Yin Yang Primordial Qi.

This Yin Yang Primordial Qi was the seventh one that Ling Pengyun had condensed.

"I will give this Yin Yang Primordial Qi to my cousin Si Ling. If this Yin Yang Primordial Qi can help my cousin Si Ling recover her Dao Path, then I will have lived up to my cousin's years of selfless help."

Ling Pengyun opened his eyes and pondered the ownership of the Yin Yang Primordial Qi that had just been condensed in his Sea of Consciousness.

He had already decided on the ownership of this Yin Yang Primordial Qi long ago. At that time, he and Yan Siyi were not yet married, so Yan Siyi was not included in the plan.

Then, Ling Pengyun couldn't help but think about who he should pass on the eighth Yin Yang Primordial Qi that he would condense again nine years later.

Currently, there are two candidates: the Lineage Clan Head Ling Yunhong and his Daoist partner Yan Siyi.

"Two years ago, Ancestral Grandfather Yun Hong's cultivation had already reached the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer. Nine years later, when the eighth Yin-Yang Primordial Beginning is condensed, with Ancestral Grandfather Yun Hong's talent, he will definitely be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Completion."

"At that time, the Ancestral Grandfather Yun Hong, who will be only a little over 130 years old, will also have the opportunity to try to break through to the Golden Core stage."

"If Ancestral Grandfather Yun Hong had a breath of Yin Yang Primordial Qi to help change his meridian resilience, comprehension, and other aspects, the probability of Ancestral Grandfather Yun Hong breaking through to the Golden Core stage would definitely increase by about 10%."

"If we could obtain another Golden Core Spirit Object to help us, the probability of Ancestral Grandfather Yun Hong breaking through to the Golden Core would probably reach about 30%."

"This success rate is already quite high. Once Ancestral Grandfather Yun Hong successfully breaks through to the Golden Core stage, the Lineage will also have a Golden Core cultivator in charge."

"In this way, someone can help pave the way for my future Dao Path."

"On the contrary, if I were to transfer that Yin Yang Primordial Qi to the lady in the future to change her aptitude, it would help her improve her cultivation more quickly, but it would not change the overall situation."

Thinking of this, Ling Pengyun sighed softly.

"That would be a bit unfair to Madam. She will have to wait another eighteen years until I condense the ninth Yin Yang Primordial Qi, at which point I will transfer it to her to enhance her aptitude."

There are two reasons why the sixth Yin Yang Primordial Qi was not given to Ling Yunhong first.

Firstly, even if the Seventh Yin Yang Primordial Qi were directly transferred to Ling Yunhong, it would only accelerate his cultivation speed, allowing him to break through to the Foundation Establishment Completion in three or four years.

At that time, Ling Yunhong will still need to wait for his Lineage to accumulate spirit Spirit Stone and purchase Golden Core Spirit Object before attempting to break through to the Golden Core.

After all, breaking through to the Golden Core alone is too dangerous.

Under these circumstances, Ling Yunhong was not actually lacking in Yin Yang Primordial Qi.

On the other hand, Yang Siling is in dire need and cannot wait any longer.

Secondly, Yang Siling is now nearly sixty years old, and there are only ninety-odd years left before she reaches the optimal age to break through to the Golden Core stage.

However, her current cultivation level is still at the first level of Foundation Establishment. It is quite difficult to advance from the first level of Foundation Establishment to the Foundation Establishment Completion in ninety years.

If Yang Siling were to wait another nine years, this cultivation Yang Siling with Dual Spirit Root might never have another chance to break through to the Golden Core stage.

It was precisely for these two reasons that Ling Pengyun decided to prioritize transferring the seventh Yin Yang Primordial Qi to Yang Siling, in order to repay the kindness his cousin Yang Siling had shown him over the years.

With his thoughts returning to normal, Ling Pengyun stood up and slowly returned to his Mountain Top Cave Residence.

Seeing that his wife, Yan Siyi, was still practicing her internal energy to recover from the pain caused by last night's "battle," he did not disturb her.

Although Yan Siyi obtained several manuals on dual cultivation techniques from Si Yi a couple of years ago, her daily "exercise" limit has increased to more than twenty or thirty times.

Even so, every night when the couple exercised, Yan Siyi would still lose.

In fact, Ling Pengyun's abilities improved daily in that area, and his essence recovered faster and faster.

According to Ling Pengyun's estimation, it might be due to the Yin Yang Primordial Qi that his essence recovered so quickly.

After all, his spiritual energy recovery speed is relatively fast.

However, despite exercising every day and night for the past two years, Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi still haven't gotten pregnant.

"I wonder when my wife and I will be able to have a son. It is indeed difficult for cultivators to conceive." Ling Pengyun sighed helplessly.

Then, he stopped bothering Yan Siyi and went to the kitchen in the cave abode to cook breakfast for his wife Yan Siyi, who had "worked hard all night," and the Spirit Ghost little Ling Chengping.

Before long, this part-time Spirit Chef, relying on several kinds of spirit ingredients, cooked three kinds of First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Cuisine: a Demon Beast meat soup noodle, Demon Beast meat bun, and a deep-fried spirit dough stick.

Even before he married Yan Siyi Yan Siyi, Ling Pengyun had asked her for a First Rank Low Grade Spirit Cuisine inheritance because he was craving food.

In addition, with the advanced Spirit Chef skills passed down by Yan Siyi in recent years, as well as some Spirit Chef experience, Ling Pengyun has extremely high comprehension, has also raised his level in Spirit Chef to the First-Tier Superior-Grade level.

Yan Siyi, Spirit Chef of the Hundred Spirits Sect, dared to pass on her first-tier mid-to-high-grade Spirit Chef skills to Ling Pengyun because of the time after Yan Siyi and Ling Pengyun got married.

Out of respect for Yan Siyi's Grandfather, Yan Cang, and considering that Yan Siyi was already a second-tier Spirit Chef, Hundred Spirits Old Ancestor Bailing readily granted the Ling Clan access to the second-tier Spirit Chef's skills that Yan Siyi possessed.

Of course, the Ling Clan also paid a price to obtain the second-tier Spirit Chef inheritance from the Hundred Spirits Sect.

Including this inheritance, the Ling Clan currently has seven second-tier arts and crafts inheritances: Spirit Plant, Pill Refining, Spirit Talisman Cave, weapon crafting, formations, sericulture, and Spirit Chef.

Currently, in terms of the inheritance of various arts, the Ling Clan can be considered a top-tier Foundation Establishment Family level.

Generally, it's considered good if Foundation Establishment Family can inherit one or two second-tier skills.

It is extremely rare to find Foundation Establishment Family that possesses three or four types of second-tier skills.

After cooking breakfast, Ling Pengyun placed the three Spirit Cuisine on the stone table under the banyan tree outside the cave abode.

After waiting for a while, at Chenshi (7-9 AM), Yan Siyi, who was recuperating, and Ling Chengping, the little girl who had been cultivating all night, also came out of the cave abode one after another and sat on the stone table to have breakfast with Ling Pengyun.

"Peng Yun Earl's cooking skills are getting better and better." Ling Chengping, after taking a bite of the spiritual noodles, smiled and said.

"Eat more if it tastes good, so that your cultivation can improve faster."

After making a joke, Ling Pengyun took two pieces of Demon Beast meat from his own bowl of noodles and put them into the little girl Ling Chengping's bowl.

Then, he placed two more pieces of Demon Beast meat into Madam Yan Siyi's bowl.

"I understand." Seeing this, Ling Chengping replied happily, and then used her chopsticks again to stir the noodles in the bowl and put them into her mouth.

But just after Ling Chengping finished eating the spiritual noodles in the bowl, her aura rose slightly, and her expression brightened with joy.

"Peng Yun Earl, Sister Si Yi, this bowl of noodle soup contains a lot of Spiritual Qi. I am confident that I can break through to the Qi Training Seventh Layer, so I won't keep you company any longer."

After saying this, she immediately ran into the cave abode with its rich Spiritual Qi to begin her seclusion.

Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi, who were still on the stone table, were both delighted to hear this.

"This little girl has good aptitude for cultivation. She has only been at the Qi Training Sixth Layer for less than two years, and she is already confident of breaking through to the Qi Training Seventh Layer."

"Judging from this girl's age, she's only seventeen now. At this rate of cultivation, she should have no problem breaking through to the Qi Training Completion before she turns thirty."

"At that time, this girl will have at least three or four opportunities to Foundation Establishment. With so many opportunities, Cheng Ping's Foundation Establishment is basically guaranteed."

Yan Siyi said with a smile.

"Cheng Ping's success today is largely thanks to you, Madam, who occasionally cooks her a second-tier Spirit Cuisine."

"By the way, Madam, when will you be able to break through the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer and enter the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer?" Ling Pengyun asked.

Two years ago, Yan Siyi successfully broke through from the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer with the help of those twenty bottles of Profound Yang Spirit Liquid.

"Although the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer is solid, I can cook a second-level Spirit Cuisine every ten days to half a month to help me. I estimate that I can break through this bottleneck and enter the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer in less than a year."

"However, there is not much flesh and blood left of the Foundation Establishment Completion Demon Beast. I only have a thousand catties left. When we go to Serpent Dragon Lake to visit Grandfather and my parents this autumn, I will need my husband to hunt down a few more Foundation Establishment Demon Beast in the Serpent Dragon Lake area."

Yan Siyi said with a smile.

"Hunting Foundation Establishment Demon Beast is a trivial matter," Ling Pengyun said with a smile.

Just as the two were chatting, a huge surge of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from the cave abode where Ling Chengping was in seclusion, absorbing most of the Spiritual Qi of Falling Dusk Mountain into the cave abode.

About half a day later, the strange noises stopped. Ling Chengping, who had been in seclusion for half a day, came out of the cave abode and reported the good news to Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi, who were protecting her.

"Peng Yun Earl, Sister Si Yi, I have finally broken through to the Qi Training Seventh Layer."

Ling Chengping laughed loudly.

"Good, keep up the good work. However, your cultivation has improved too quickly in recent years. You should use the next year to polish your bottleneck. Otherwise, if your foundation is not stable, it will affect your breakthrough to future realms."

Ling Pengyun glanced at Ling Chengping and noticed that her aura was even more weak than that of an ordinary cultivator after breaking through to higher levels. He frowned and gave her some instructions.

"Your aura is indeed somewhat weak and unstable, and your foundation is quite unsettled," Yan Siyi agreed.

The fact that two Foundation Establishment Realm elders spoke at the same time also caught Ling Chengping's attention.

Since the time to consolidate her cultivation was short, only a year, it wouldn't cause any major delays, so she nodded in agreement.

"Understood, Peng Yun Earl, Sister Si Yi."

"Alright, you should go back to your cave abode to consolidate your cultivation level, lest the bottleneck you finally broke through regress." Ling Pengyun urged him on.

Yang Siling understood the reasoning, nodded slightly, and returned to the cave abode to begin her seclusion.

Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi were relieved and returned to their respective cave abode to cultivate.
