The Honest Ling Chengyuan

Ling Chengxin chuckled and said, "Haha, with Lin Daoyou joining our clan, we now have one more Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

"My clan is currently waging war in the White Cloud Mountain Range White Cloud Mountain Range. Would you be willing to accompany me there?"

"However, fellow Daoist, please rest assured. According to our clan's battle report, six months ago, our clan's Patriarch Pengyun, together with several Golden Core from the Hundred Spirits Sect, successively killed two Golden Core Initial Stage Demon Beast and obtained most of the benefits from those two Golden Core Initial Stage Demon Beast."

"Furthermore, our clan has already occupied more than 500 Spirit Vein in the territory of the Golden Core Demon Race Clan, the Cloud -Cloud Stepping Thunder Leopard Clan, in the White Cloud Mountain Range."

"Our clan's Golden Core Old Ancestor is currently seeking to annihilate the Swamp Giant Crocodile Clan of the Golden Core Demon Race, and we are in dire need of manpower. If you and I can participate in this effort, and our clan successfully annihilates the Swamp Giant Crocodile Clan and occupies the Muddy Swamp Territory, you and I will both become meritorious officials of the Ling Clan."

"With this title, I can at least guarantee that you will reach the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment."

"Of course, if you are unwilling to go to the White Cloud Mountain Range with me to support my clan, I will not force you."

Half a month ago, the clansmen who were fighting in the White Cloud Mountain Range not only sent back news of their great victory, but also indicated that the Lineage would soon launch a solo attack on the Swamp Crocodile Giant Crocodile clan, which would lead to a long and protracted war.

He then instructed Ling Chengxin, a second-tier Alchemist, to head to the White Cloud Mountain Range as soon as possible.

With a second-tier Alchemist like him in charge, the Lineage will not lack elixirs for cultivators fighting in the White Cloud Mountain Range.

Ling Chengxin has been delaying his departure for the White Cloud Mountain Range these past few days because he is waiting for Lin Yuan to break through to the Foundation Establishment.

I wanted to take this person with me.

Lin Yuan was startled upon hearing this.

Teaming up with other Golden Core True Person to kill Golden Core Demon Beast, outnumbering them, killing Golden Core Demon Beast of the same level was not a big deal.

The fact that the Ling Clan's Golden Core Ancestor obtained most of the benefits from the Golden Core Demon Beast Golden Core Demon Beast after slaying it is enough to show that his strength far surpasses that of the other Golden Core True Person Golden Core Old Ancestor.

The enormous profits offered by Ling Chengxin were even more tempting to him.

He was originally a Rogue Cultivator who made a living by hunting Demon Beast. He had been fighting Demon Beast for many years, so he was naturally not afraid of fighting Demon Beast.

At the same time, he also understood that this was a test that Ling Chengxin had given him.

If he doesn't agree to this, he'll probably only be able to receive the annual salary of five Spirit Gathering Pill for the rest of his life.

Driven by self-interest, he replied.

"Ling Daoyou, I will go with you."

Upon seeing this, Ling Chengxin laughed twice. "Excellent, excellent."

Ling Pengliang, who was not familiar with Lin Yuan, also showed a smile.

Ling Chengxin told him everything about Lin Yuan's background.

The Ling Clan is in dire need of talents with such remarkable beast-taming abilities.

The Ling Clan will not lose out by recruiting such a talented person into the clan.

He also knew Ling Chengxin's true purpose in bringing this person to support his clansmen who were fighting in the White Cloud Mountain Range.

"Lin Daoyou, this place is quite a distance from the White Cloud Mountain Range. Shall we set off now?"

"I have a flying boat. You can stabilize your cultivation on the flying boat," Ling Chengxin suggested.

"Okay." Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Uncle Peng Liang, Lin Daoyou and I will be leaving now."

Upon seeing Ling Chengxin Ling Pengliang, who was standing to the side.

"Okay, be careful on your journey."

Ling Pengliang gave instructions.

Ling Chengxin nodded slightly, then took out a flying boat from his Storage Bag and flew away with Lin Yuan.

Ling Pengliang, who remained alone outside the Rock Scale Snake Den, watched Ling Chengxin and Lin Yuan gradually disappear into the distance, and a hint of envy gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Given the Eighth Brother's nature, after occupying the vast Lingxiao Ridge territory, it has now set its sights on the Muddy Swamp's overlord, the Golden Core Demon Beast Swamp Giant Crocodile Clan. It must have some confidence in its abilities."

"If the Eighth Brother can really lead the Lineage to wipe out the Swamp Giant Crocodile Clan and then occupy the Muddy Swamp Territory with more than two thousand Spirit Vein, the Lineage will be rich."

"At that time, the clansmen who participate in this battle will surely become heroes in opening up new clan territory and will be given special attention by the Lineage."

"It's just a pity that I had to take care of the Spirit Plant inside the Rock Scale Snake Den and couldn't get away, so I missed this opportunity."

"I hope that in the future Eighth Brother will remember our old friends when nurturing our clan members, considering that my wife, Cheng Yuan, and I are all stationed in various parts of the Lineage."

Ling Pengliang sighed.

Ling Pengliang partner, Wen Nianling, had been stationed in the Rock Scale Snake Den like him for the past ten years or so. However, more than half a year ago, after Ling Pengyun led his clansmen on an expedition to the White Cloud Mountain Range, Wen Nianling, who was at the Foundation Establishment Realm, was transferred back to the Lineage to take charge.

Cheng Yuan is the only offspring of Ling Pengliang and his Daoist partner Wen Nianling. He possesses the Three Spirit Roots of wood, metal, and earth, and also has the talent of Spirit Plant.

This also meant that after his Spirit Root was discovered more than ten years ago, he was taken in and carefully nurtured by Ling Pengliang, a second-level Spirit Planter.

It is precisely for this reason that Ling Chengyuan, being of the Cheng Generation, avoided the "Small Demon Uprising" of that year and is one of the few remaining promising talents capable of entering the Foundation Establishment stage.

Now, more than a decade later, Ling Chengyuan's cultivation has reached the Qi Training Eighth Layer, and his cultivation of Spirit Plant has also entered the First-Tier Superior-Grade realm.

After Ling Pengyun left Falling Dusk Mountain, he was transferred by his Lineage to Falling Dusk Mountain to guard and manage the Spirit Plant planted there.

The Falling Dusk Mountain.

Inside the Spirit Plant Garden, a young male and female cultivator were moving through a Mulberry Forest, where mulberries hung like black gems, using their Object Manipulation Technique to collect the Spirit Mulberry.

With the help of the Object Manipulation Technique, the two of them could collect a large batch of Spirit Mulberry with a simple wave of their hands.

Before long, the two of them had picked all the Spirit Mulberry from the spirit Mulberry Tree in the garden.

After the matter was completed, the honest-looking male cultivator handed the Storage Bag full of Spirit Mulberry to the tall, fair-skinned, and slightly playful young female cultivator beside him.

After the young female cultivator reached out and took it, she waved her hand and channeled spiritual energy into the Storage Bag. She then took out over a thousand Spirit Mulberry and placed them on the ground, addressing the honest young male cultivator.

"Brother Cheng Yuan, here are your share of Spirit Mulberry."

Upon hearing this, the honest-looking male cultivator looked at the thousands of Spirit Mulberry on the ground, and his eyes trembled.

Among this batch of Spirit Mulberry, there are as many as five hundred of each of the lower, middle, and upper Spirit Mulberry of the first rank.

"Cheng Ping, although Spirit Mulberry are of very low value, this batch of Spirit Mulberry is plentiful. If they were put on the market, they could sell for at least a hundred Spirit Stone."

"If I accept it, it will be considered embezzlement. If my Lineage finds out, they will definitely punish me. It's best not to embezzle."

The honest-looking young male cultivator said with a hint of lingering fear.

"Brother Cheng Yuan, what are you thinking? My Falling Dusk Mountain has a 30% share of the Spirit Mulberry from the spirit Mulberry Forest. As long as it doesn't exceed that share, Brother Cheng Yuan, you can accept it without worry. These Spirit Mulberry taste extremely good, especially the First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Mulberry, which taste even more delicious."

"In about ten days, I'll take you to harvest the Fruit Flower Honey produced by the Fruit Flower Bee over the past six months. My Falling Dusk Mountain will also get a 30% share of that Fruit Flower Honey, and I'll share some with you then."

"The taste of that Fruit Flower Honey is absolutely amazing," the tall, young female cultivator said with a smile.

This tall female cultivator was none other than Ling Chengping, First-Tier Superior-Grade Silkworm Farmer who grew up in Falling Dusk Mountain and was raised by Ling Pengyun.

The honest-looking young male cultivator was Ling Chengyuan, a first-grade high-level spirit plant cultivator who had been dispatched by his family to manage the spirit plants in the mountain's spirit plant garden half a year ago.

"Cheng Ping, is this true?" The usually honest and simple Ling Chengyuan was shocked when he heard what Ling Chengping said.

Even without anyone tending to it, that Mulberry Garden can still yield two harvests a year, thanks to the five special formations set up within the Spirit Plant Garden.

Each time the Mulberry Garden ripens, it can produce at least tens of thousands of Spirit Mulberry.

Two harvests would yield more than 20,000 pieces.

Of such a huge quantity of Spirit Mulberry, Falling Dusk Mountain alone accounts for 30%, which is truly astonishing.

The value of even more expensive Fruit Flower Honey goes without saying.

"Of course it's true. This Falling Dusk Mountain where we are now is Peng Yun Earl's residence. The Spirit Mulberry and the Fruit Flower Bee were all acquired by Peng Yun Earl for his Lineage in his early years. With Peng Yun Earl's ability as a second-level Spirit Planter, a 30% share of the Spirit Mulberry and Fruit Flower Honey is already considered a small amount."

"After all, if Peng Yun Earl were to be stationed here, he could make the spirit Mulberry Tree, which could only yield two harvests a year, yield four harvests a year."

"The Fruit Flower Bee that collect nectar from fruit blossoms will therefore produce more Fruit Flower Honey."

"Now that Peng Yun Earl and the others are gone, we can enjoy ourselves and eat more Spirit Mulberry and Fruit Flower Honey."

Ling Chengping said with a smile.

After hearing the explanation, Ling Chengyuan could understand why Falling Dusk Mountain could obtain so many Spirit Mulberry and Fruit Flower Honey.

He then bowed apologetically to Ling Chengping.

"So that's how it is. I misunderstood you, Sister Cheng Ping. I hope you can forgive me."

Ling Chengping waved her hand magnanimously and said, "It's alright, Brother Cheng Yuan, please accept the thousand mulberries."

Seeing Ling Chengping like this, Ling Chengyuan grew even more fond of this cousin who he had little contact with, whose cultivation level was as high as the Qi Training Ninth Layer Refining and whose talent was extraordinary.

Without further ado, he nodded slightly and put the thousand mulberries on the ground into his Storage Bag.
