Commission from Immortal Baiyuan

"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Daoist. If my clan is able to occupy another Third Rank Spirit Vein in the White Cloud Mountain Range during the Demon Beast Uprising several decades from now, I will definitely bring gifts to your door to express my gratitude for your great help."

Ling Pengyun was delighted to see that True Person Bai Yuan had agreed to rent the formation, and thanked him again.

"Ling Daoyou, you are being too polite. Your Ling Clan and my Hundred Spirits Sect have been friends for a thousand years, so it is only right that we help each other."

"Please wait here for a moment, Ling Daoyou. I will go and fetch a Third Rank Array Formation." True Person Bai Yuan replied with a smile and immediately returned to the Hundred Spirits Sect.

A short while later, True Person Bai Yuan flew out of the Hundred Spirits Sect with a Storage Bag in his hand and arrived in front of the Wind Cloud Flying Boat.

He waved his hand and took out eighteen colorful array flags, a magic shield, a flying sword, and a long rope from the Storage Bag, and introduced them to Ling Pengyun.

"Ling Daoyou, since I do not know where your Ling Clan intends to set up the formation, I have taken the liberty of choosing this Third Rank Low Grade -Five Elements Return Origin Grand Array to Origin Formation for you, which consists of three array artifacts."

"Those three array artifacts are all at the level of Magic Treasure Prototype, namely the Five Elements Return Origin Shield, the Five Elements Return Origin Flying Sword, and the Five Elements Return Origin Rope."

"This formation can be set up on any common Five Elements Spirit Vein, and can absorb the Five Elements Power to activate the Magic Treasure Prototype: the Five Elements Five Elements Return Origin Shield, the Five Elements Five Elements Return Origin Flying Sword Five Elements Return Origin Rope to Origin Rope, for defense, attack, and trapping the enemy."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun's eyes lit up immediately.

This Five Elements Return Origin Array is indeed extremely suitable for the Ling Clan, who are about to head to the White Cloud Mountain Range to expand their territory.

After all, the Ling Clan went to occupy territory, and the battle lines were advanced step by step, rather than staying on a certain Spirit Vein indefinitely.

Under such circumstances, the Five Elements Return Origin Grand Array, which is powerful enough to be placed on any Spirit Vein, can be considered an excellent array.

Furthermore, this formation is quite powerful, capable of defense, attack, and trapping enemies, and is considered above average among formations of the same level.

If the three array artifacts equipped with it, which are at the Magic Treasure Prototype treasures, can be upgraded to the level of third-tier Law Treasure, then this array can be considered a Higher Vehicle Third Rank Low Grade array.

At that time, it would not be impossible to use this formation alone to kill Demon Beast in the Golden Core Initial Stage.

The Magic Treasure Prototype are usually crafted by third-tier Artifact Refiner, and they are not inscribed with complete third-tier spirit runes or restrictions.

This situation generally only occurs when the quality of the Weapon Refinement Materials is not high. After a complete set of third-order spirit patterns is inscribed on them, the resulting magic Law Treasure may not be able to withstand the Magic Treasure Tribulation.

Left with no other choice, they had to settle for second best and inscribe an incomplete third-order spirit rune restriction on it, refining it into Magic Treasure Prototype.

Once sufficient high-quality spiritual materials are incorporated into the Magic Treasure Prototype, it will be able to withstand the tribulation of lightning. After perfecting the third-order spiritual rune restrictions within it, the Magic Treasure Tribulation and become a true third-order Law Treasure.

"Spending 100,000 Spirit Stone to rent this Five Elements Return Origin Grand Array is quite a good deal. With my strength and in conjunction with this formation, I should have a very high chance of killing Golden Core Initial Stage Demon Beast."

Ling Pengyun was secretly delighted.

As for why True Person Bai Yuan would lend such a powerful formation to the Ling Clan, Ling Pengyun guessed that he probably wanted to deepen his relationship with the Ling Clan and also help the Ling Clan occupy the Spirit Vein in the White Cloud Mountain Range.

After regaining his senses, Ling Pengyun also expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, Bai Yuan Daoist Friend, for lending such a fine formation to my Ling Clan."

"It's alright. After all, my Hundred Spirits Sect also accepted Spirit Stone from your Ling Clan."

"In addition, I have another request. My sect leader, Hundred Spirits True Person, and Bao Yuan Zhenren, along with my disciples, encountered a troublesome matter while expanding their territory in the White Jade Mountain Range. We need your help, fellow Daoist."

"True Person Bai Yuan said with a smile."

"What is it? Tell me first."

Ling Pengyun's expression shifted slightly, but he did not refuse; instead, he inquired.

"Half a month ago, when two Golden Core True Person from our sect led their Sect Disciple to attack the territory of the Golden Core Golden Core Demon Race White Cloud Mountain Range, the Cloud Treading Thunder Leopard, in the White Cloud Mountains, the Cloud Stepping Thunder Leopard Clan was no match for them, so they asked the Black Wind Wolf Demon, Golden Core mutated demon king in the White Cloud Mountain Range who had no clan and no offspring and lived alone, for help."

"The Cloud Stepping Thunder Leopard Clan originally had a Golden Core Middle Stage Leopard King and an Golden Core Initial Stage Leopard King."

"Now, with the addition of that Black Wind Wolf Demon, whose cultivation level is as high as the Golden Core Third Layer, our sect's Hundred Spirits True Person and Bao Yuan Zhenren have encountered obstacles in leading the Sect Disciple to expand their territory."

"I am lending you this excellent Five Elements Returning to Origin Formation so that you can join forces with me to stop that Black Wind Wolf Demon at the Golden Core Third Layer."

"If we could kill that wolf, that would be even better. Our sect can give its Golden Core to you, nobles."

"If that's not possible, trapping them will suffice."

"I originally intended to seek out you personally about this matter, but I didn't expect that your visit to the mountain gate to borrow the formation would provide a good opportunity to discuss it with you."

"That's what True Person Bai Yuan said."

Ling Pengyun frowned upon hearing this.

The Black Wind Wolf Demon that mutated during the Golden Core stage in the White Cloud Mountain Range is quite famous, and it also has some connection with the Hundred Spirits Sect.

Legend has it that decades ago, when the Hundred Spirits Sect expanded into Jiao Province, the Black Wind Wolf Demon, a Golden Core cultivator, helped the two Golden Core dragons of Serpent Dragon Lake resist the invasion of the Hundred Spirits Sect.

It's a pity that back then, the Spirit Array Old Ancestor used his first- or third-tier array to slay the ice dragon in the Serpent Dragon Lake.

The Black Wind Wolf Demon was also defeated.

"Unexpectedly, that mutated Golden Core stage Black Wind Wolf Demon has run into the Hundred Spirits Sect again."

"It is said that this wolf can spit out a powerful black evil that can corrode Law Artifact and Law Treasure, making it extremely difficult to deal with. With the help of that black evil, this wolf would probably not be at a disadvantage against an ordinary Golden Core Fourth Layer cultivator."

"However, this wolf demon's cultivation was only at the Golden Core First Layer back then. Now, only a few decades later, its cultivation has risen to the third level of the Golden Core Third Layer, which is quite rare."

"This wolf must either be exceptionally talented or have had some good fortuitous opportunity."

It should be noted that even Ling Pengyun, who had cultivated Higher Vehicle Cultivation Method, would need to spend at least thirty years of arduous cultivation in the Azure Water Island, a third-grade high- Spiritual Qi Third Rank High Grade Spirit Vein in the Azure Sea Secret Realm, to break through to the next level of cultivation.

For an ordinary Golden Core cultivator to break through to the next level, it would take forty or fifty years of arduous cultivation.

For demonic Demon Beast that cultivate slowly but have long lifespans, the time required to break through a single level of cultivation is even longer.

Ling Pengyun considered that although the Black Wind Wolf Demon at the Golden Core Third Layer was strong, it also had various means to assist it, making it quite powerful. Ling Pengyun was confident that he could fight it one-on-one.

Moreover, with the powerful Five Elements Return Origin Grand Array and the assistance of True Person Bai Yuan at the Pseudo-Core Realm, it was not difficult at all to resist that Black Wind Wolf Demon.

Furthermore, given the Hundred Spirits Sect's assistance to the Ling Clan in conquering the White Cloud Mountain Range, and now the matter of borrowing the formation, Ling Pengyun did not hesitate and directly responded.

"Bai Yuan Daoist Friend, I can help with this matter."

"As for whether we can kill that wolf demon, it depends on the situation."

"However, the Black Wind Wolf Demon at the Golden Core Third Layer is in an extraordinary position. If my fellow Daoist and I join forces to stop that wolf, your sect may also be able to kill the two Golden Core Leopard Demons of the Cloud Stepping Thunder Leopard Clan in one fell swoop."

"With these two Golden Core Leopard Demons dead, the Black Wind Wolf Demon will surely run away, and the vast territory occupied by the Cloud Stepping Thunder Leopard Clan will become your Hundred Spirits Sect's possession."

"Under such circumstances, the kindness of your sect lending me this powerful Third Rank Array Formation is not enough."

"If your clan's plan succeeds, my Ling Clan will take 30% of the first and Second Rank Spirit Vein of the Cloud Stepping Thunder Leopard Clan."

When True Person Bai Yuan saw that Ling Pengyun had such a far-sighted vision, he was slightly surprised.

However, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with the large share of first and Second Rank Spirit Vein in the Cloud Stepping Ridge that Ling Pengyun wanted the Cloud Stepping Thunder Leopard Clan to occupy.

The Cloud Stepping Thunder Leopard Clan is particularly powerful because it has a demon king at the Golden Core Initial Stage and a demon king at the Golden Core Middle Stage.

This race ranks among the top even among the Golden Core Demon Beast beasts of the White Cloud Mountain Range.

It was precisely because of this strength that the Cloud Stepping Thunder Leopard Clan occupied the rich land of Cloud Stepping Ridge.

The Cloud Stepping Ridge region stretches for nearly 400,000 miles. According to the statistics of the Hundred Spirits Sect, there are at least 4,000 first -First Rank Spirit Vein and second -Second Rank Spirit Vein Second Rank Spirit Vein, with as many as 100 second-order spiritual veins and one Third Rank Spirit Vein.

And 30% of this huge number of Spirit Vein is no small number.

Relying solely on the 30% of Spirit Vein to cultivate Spirit Plant, the Hundred Spirits Sect could probably earn tens of thousands of Spirit Stone every year.

As a member of the Hundred Spirits Sect, True Person Bai Yuan naturally did not want to see too much of the sect's profits being taken away.

"Ling Daoyou, you only need to join forces with me to resist that Black Wind Wolf Demon. As for the Qi Training Stage and Foundation Establishment Realm stage Demon Beast in the Cloud Treading Thunder Leopard territory, as well as the two Golden Core Cloud Treading Thunder Leopard King, our sect will have to resist and kill them."

"The amount of Spirit Vein you requested is far too much; at most, it's half a percent of the Spirit Vein."

Ling Pengyun didn't seem to mind that True Person Bai Yuan refused to make the suggestion.

The True Person Bai Yuan has come to him now means he must have no other choice.

Besides Hundred Spirits Sect True Person Bai Yuan, another Golden Core True Person Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor, who did not go to the White Cloud Mountain Range, is stationed at Serpent Dragon Lake to prevent attacks from the Demon Beast of Golden Horn Grassland. He cannot leave.

The other four major Golden Core sects of the Yan Kingdom would not lend a hand, as they were unwilling to see the Hundred Spirits Sect encroach upon the vast territory of the Cloud-Treading Cloud Stepping Thunder Leopard Clan.

If the Hundred Spirits Sect had that vast territory to aid it, it would surely prosper in the future.

Knowing the Hundred Spirits Sect's weakness, Ling Pengyun bargained, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you must know how powerful the Black Wind Wolf Demon is."

"If it weren't for the troublesome Black Wind Wolf Demon at the Golden Core Third Layer, your sect probably wouldn't have come looking for me at this time."

"Since your sect wants to rely on my strength to help you, fellow Daoist, stop that Black Wind Wolf Demon and then plot to the Cloud Stepping Thunder Leopard Clan, you can't do it without paying a heavy price."

"Let's each take a step back. I want 15% of the first and Second Rank Spirit Vein in the Cloud Stepping Ridge region."

"As long as your sect agrees, I will do my best to help your sect seize the territory of the Cloud Treading Thunder Leopard. I guarantee that your sect will not waste the 15% of the first and Second Rank Spirit Vein in that territory."
