Marketplace in the White Cloud Mountain Range

He then used a special Spirit Plant Secret Method on the many Spirit Plant in the garden to help them grow faster. Only then did Ling Pengyun stop, leave the Spirit Plant Garden, and find his Daoist partner Yan Siyi and his parents.

"Madam, Father, Mother, I need to go to Serpent Dragon Lake to discuss something with Spirit Talisman Senior, who is stationed there. Would you like to take this opportunity to come with me to see my cousin and Xiao Hong?"

Ling Pengyun inquired.

"Go, of course we'll go. Last year, when we went to Serpent Dragon Lake, your aunt told me that Si Tong was getting quite close to a Foundation Establishment female cultivator from the Hundred Spirits Sect in Serpent Dragon Lake. I suspect there's something going on between them."

"I wonder how Si Tong's relationship with that female cultivator has become after a year," said Yang Qiuyun, the mother, first.

"Is that so?" Ling Pengyun asked in surprise.

"You know Si Tong just like you were back then. She won't speak unless she's absolutely sure. If it weren't for your cousin having so many spies around Serpent Dragon Lake, we'd probably still be in the dark about Si Tong," Yang Qiuyun said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun's gaze involuntarily shifted, turning toward his Daoist partner, Yan Siyi, standing to the side.

Yan Siyi happened to be looking in this direction as well.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

They only told their parents after they had truly gotten together.

The two could understand that Yang Sitong had never revealed that she had found someone she was attracted to.

After all, this matter has become public knowledge before it has even taken place. If it ultimately fails, it could cause serious trouble.

Following that, Yan Siyi also expressed that she would go to Serpent Dragon Lake.

Seeing that his wife, Yang Qiuyun, had gone, Ling Xiaoshun, the father, naturally followed her to Serpent Dragon Lake.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Ling Pengyun left a note in the mountains and led everyone up onto the back of the Wind Shadow Peng, riding the roc to Serpent Dragon Lake.

Two days later.

At a tea table in the Spirit Talisman Cave Mountain Top Cave Residence, the place with the most abundant Spiritual Qi on Serpent Dragon Island.

Spirit Talisman True Person held a small teapot and poured Ling Pengyun a cup of spiritual tea, saying with a smile.

"Ling Daoyou, this tea is our sect's Cloud Mist Spirit Tea. Although it is only Second Rank High Grade, the taste is quite good. I hope Ling Daoyou will not find it offensive."

Ling Pengyun said, "Senior is too kind. This Cloud Mist Spirit Tea is a fine product, especially since it is of the Second Rank High Grade, making it even more precious. How could I possibly look down on it?"

After saying that, he picked up the cup full of tea in front of him and brought it to his lips. He gently blew away the large cloud of white steam rising from the tea and took a small sip.

A slightly bitter taste came from the tip of the tongue, but after the tea entered the stomach, a sweet aftertaste filled the entire mouth.

"This tea is refreshing and delightful."

Ling Pengyun offered a compliment.

"I'm glad you like it, fellow Daoist. I rarely drink tea, but I've accumulated quite a bit of Cloud Mist Spirit Tea over the years. I'll take two catties with me when I have time to meet you," said the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor generously.

"Thank you, senior. Then I won't stand on ceremony," Ling Pengyun said with a smile.

"No need to thank me. Cloud Mist Spirit Tea is nothing precious to either of us. If you wish to find it, it won't be difficult."

"By the way, fellow Daoist, is there good news about the matter I entrusted to you years ago to find the Golden Core Spirit Object?"

"The Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor asked with an expectant look on his face."

He had wanted to ask Ling Pengyun about this matter before, but he didn't want to ask directly.

"Indeed, I have found a way to obtain Golden Core Spirit Object. However, that fellow Daoist only has an ordinary Golden Core Spirit Object, and it will take four years for that Golden Core Spirit Object to be formed."

Ling Pengyun recounted the story in detail.

Upon hearing this, the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor was overjoyed.

However, since the Golden Core Spirit Object was of great importance, he asked a question just to be on the safe side.

"Is this true, Ling Daoyou?"

"Of course, if I wasn't confident about this matter, I wouldn't have told you, senior," Ling Pengyun said firmly.

Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor also learned from his daughter-in-law Yang Siling that Ling Pengyun was always a man of his word and extremely trustworthy.

In addition, Ling Pengyun has descendants and relatives, and is not alone, so there is no benefit in deceiving him.

Spirit Talisman True Person thus confirmed what Ling Pengyun had just said, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Then he asked another question.

"Ling Daoyou, I wonder if the price of that ordinary Golden Core Spirit Object has increased? And what kind of Golden Core Spirit Object is it?"

Ling Pengyun said, "The price hasn't increased; it's the same as the price we agreed on, 350,000 Spirit Stone. As for that Golden Core Spirit Object, it's a spiritual fruit born from the heavens and earth. As for what kind of spiritual fruit it is, I don't know."

Ling Pengyun did not intend to reveal that the Golden Core Spirit Object was the Wood Origin Spirit Fruit. After all, the Wood Origin Spirit Fruit had a great reputation and was nurtured by the Wood Origin Immortal Sect's sect-protecting Wood Origin Spirit Tree.

If this were revealed now, the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor might turn his back on him and personally trade the Golden Core Spirit Object with the Wood Origin Immortal Sect.

Although the probability of this happening is extremely small, Ling Pengyun does not intend to take the risk.

Ling Pengyun still planned to earn the referral fee from the old man with the Spirit Talisman Cave.

When the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor heard that the price remained unchanged and that the spiritual item was a spiritual fruit born from heaven and earth, and that there was a very high probability that it would help cultivators form Middle Grade Golden Core after consumption, his face lit up with even more joy.

"That's good. Thank you for your help, Fellow Ling Daoyou. I thank you on behalf of Xiao Hong."

"I just wonder if you could find a common Golden Core Spirit Object? That way, Xiao Hong's chances of breaking through to Golden Core Golden Core stage in the future would be increased."

Ling Pengyun shook his head. "Although I also want Xiao Hong to break through to the Golden Core, my friend only has one ordinary Golden Core Spirit Object. If I want to find other Golden Core Spirit Object, I can only ask other people or look for them at the various auction houses in the Boundless Sea Region."

"However, even if we manage to acquire Golden Core Spirit Object, it will inevitably put us in the eye of the storm. Afterwards, we will certainly be entangled in a lot of trouble, and we might even be killed because of it."

"After all, even an ordinary Golden Core Spirit Object is worth at least 300,000 Spirit Stone. This amount of Spirit Stone is a large sum for those experts in the Golden Core Middle Stage realms."

"Alright, one ordinary Golden Core Golden Core Spirit Object Golden Core Spirit Object will do." The Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor understood this principle and sighed softly.

He spent a fortune to commission Ling Pengyun, who was suspected of having powerful backers in the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World, to find the Golden Core Spirit Object Golden Core Spirit Object, hoping to obtain it safely.

If safety were not a concern, he would probably have gone to the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World to search for Golden Core Spirit Object long ago.

Seeing Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor's expression, Ling Pengyun felt that Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor's style was somewhat familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he thought of his friend "Jia Mu Zhenren" in Wood Origin Marketplace.

"Spirit Talisman Senior and Jia Wood Daoist Jiamu are quite similar; both are steady and reliable individuals."

"If Spirit Talisman Senior can maintain such a mindset, he should have no problem living out his life well from beginning to end."

Ling Pengyun muttered to himself.

The reason he thought this way was because he knew that the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor had taken a Sub-Golden Core Pill in his early years before he successfully condensed a Golden Core and reached the Golden Core realm.

The Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor's rise and fall both stemmed from his mastery of the Sub- Sub-Golden Core Pill Sub-Golden Core Pill.

While the Sub-Golden Core Pill can increase a cultivator's chances of breaking through to the Golden Core stage by 10%, it also makes the cultivator's spiritual energy more moderate, increasing the difficulty of breaking through bottlenecks.

For this reason, the Golden Core that the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor produced was only the lowest Lower Vehicle Golden Core.

It will be difficult to break through to the Golden Core Late Stage in this lifetime.

Nascent Soul Realm is even more hopeless.

Under such circumstances, the Dao Path the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor has basically come to an end, and his lifespan can be counted.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor developed such a steady and composed temperament.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun inquired about the specific battle situation in the White Cloud Mountain Range from Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor Golden Core True Person backed by the Hundred Spirits Sect.

In recent years, the Ling Clan has sent people to inquire about the situation in the White Cloud Mountain Range, but they have not found out much.

The old man with the Spirit Talisman Cave knew quite a lot through the sect's channels.

Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor recounted in detail how Ling Pengyun helped him purchase the Golden Core Spirit Object item.

"According to news from the sect, in the past ten years or so, the five major Golden Core sects of our Yan Kingdom have relied on the medium-sized second-order Blazing Fire Iron Ore Vein in the White Cloud Mountain Range as their base and have occupied more than 100,000 miles around the mine."

"This territory roughly covers two large states within our Hundred Spirits Sect's territory, and it contains quite a few Spirit Vein, with about a thousand first- and Second Rank Spirit Vein in total."

"Our five major sects in the Yan Kingdom have not occupied a single Third Rank Spirit Vein. It's not that we lack the strength to do so, but rather that we dare not violate the rule set by the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Demon Emperor of the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World and the Boundless Great Swamp, which stipulates that, except during the Centennial Demon Beast Calamity, one cannot arbitrarily occupy the other's Third Rank Spirit Vein."

"Over the years, our five major Golden Core sects have killed as many as six Golden Core Golden Core Demon King, and we have killed hundreds of thousands of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Realm Demon Beast. Currently, there are only nine Golden Core Realm demon kings left in the White Cloud Mountain Range. We just don't know if there are any other Golden Core Demon King in the White Cloud Mountain Range in secret."

"In addition, our five major Golden Core sects have also built a market called Wuyuan on a Second Rank High Grade Spirit Vein next to that second-grade Blazing Fire Iron Ore Vein."

"Furthermore, our five major Golden Core sects have jointly contributed a large amount of spiritual items and even numerous Foundation Establishment Pill to establish a force called the Five Elements Prefecture within the Five Elements Marketplace. This force is specifically designed to recruit Rogue Cultivator to participate in the war and assist our five major sects in conquering the first and Second Rank Spirit Vein of the White Cloud Mountain Range."

"Because we have brought out a large number of spiritual items, as long as we kill the Demon Beast Demon Beast and hand over their corpses, we can gain merits in battle. This has attracted a large number of Rogue Cultivator, at least more than 30% of the Rogue Cultivator from our Yan Kingdom have come."

"Although the cultivation levels of those Rogue Cultivator are not high, mostly only at the Qi Training Stage, this group of Rogue Cultivator has the advantage of numbers, and can be considered a decent fighting force."

"At the same time, thanks to the addition of that group of Rogue Cultivator, the Five Elements Marketplace has maintained a foot traffic of 50,000 people year-round, making it a good place to do business."

"Now that your Ling Clan has produced a Golden Core like yourself, you can also get involved in the business of the Five Elements Marketplace in the future."

After hearing this, Ling Pengyun nodded slightly, already having some ideas about opening a shop in Five Elements Marketplace.

"Thank you for informing me, senior." He then expressed his gratitude.
