The Underground River Mainstream's Enormous Haul
"Thank you very much."
Ling Pengyun smiled and thanked him.
"Eighth Brother, Eighth Sister-in-law -in-law was just telling me not to be so polite, but now you're being so formal with me. Does this mean you don't treat your little sister like family?"
Ling Penglin joked.
"You little rascal..."
Ling Pengyun laughed and cursed.
Yan Siyi, who was standing to the side, knew it was a joke and laughed heartily.
Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, and Ling Pengyun then asked Ling Penglin to remove the array power that sealed the Spirit Volcano.
The "Flame Monarch," Qi Training Middle Stage Refining cultivator who was trapped inside the volcano by the power of the formation and unable to leave, was extremely unhappy. At this moment, he angrily rushed out through the crater leading to the outside world, ran to Ling Penglin's side, and kept waving his small arms, which were made of flames, to express his dissatisfaction.
Ling Penglin, who had a special bond with him, unexpectedly discovered that she could understand the thoughts of this Qi Training Middle Stage Flame Monarch.
She smiled and reassured them.
"Alright, I won't forcibly confine you inside Spirit Volcano anymore."
The Flame Monarch Qi Training Middle Stage, seemed to understand what Ling Penglin said, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, which was formed from flames.
Only then did it realize that there were two other powerful, unfamiliar cultivators nearby.
This Flame Monarch was born with an aura of royalty and was not afraid of the two powerful strangers. It looked directly at Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi.
When it noticed that the Daoist robes worn by Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi were the same as those worn by Ling Penglin, whom it knew, it immediately asked Ling Penglin some questions out of curiosity.
Ling Penglin then introduced the situation.
"These are my Eighth Brother and Eighth Sister-in-law- in-law, my family. You will be working under my Eighth Brother from now on."
After saying that, Ling Penglin added another sentence.
"My Eighth Brother is Golden Core Realm True Person. With my Eighth Brother's help, you have the opportunity to reach a higher realm. It is not impossible for you to reach the same level as my Eighth Brother."
Upon hearing this, the Flame Monarch, who already possessed intelligence, glanced at the powerful Ling Pengyun again, and a look of excitement immediately appeared on his face.
Although it didn't know what the Golden Core Realm cultivation was, it could roughly understand from the immense aura emanating from Ling Pengyun that Ling Pengyun, who claimed to possess the Golden Core Realm, could probably crush it with one hand.
Such formidable power is something the warlike Flame Monarch desperately desires.
Immediately, it bowed its head to the powerful Ling Pengyun to express its respect.
Seeing this, Ling Pengyun muttered something to himself.
"The core demon spirit is indeed quite intelligent."
Then, he spoke softly to the Flame Monarch, who Qi Training Middle Stage.
Do not resist.
After saying that, he channeled his Divine Sense into the body of the Flame Monarch.
Although the Flame Monarch disliked Ling Pengyun probing its body with his Divine Sense, it was relatively obedient and did not resist Ling Pengyun's Divine Sense.
Therefore, Ling Pengyun soon placed a Divine Sense imprint on the Flame Monarch's body using his Divine Sense.
He also established a connection with the Flame Monarch through that Divine Sense imprint.
"Take these Foundation Establishment stage Fire Element demon Demon Beast as a small gift."
Ling Pengyun waved his hand and patted the Storage Bag at his waist, taking out dozens of the Foundation Establishment Realm Fire Element Demon Beast cores and tossing them to the Flame Monarch, Qi Training Middle Stage.
The Flame Monarch felt the faint fire Spiritual Qi contained within the dozens of Fire Element inner cores that had been thrown to him, and his heart was filled with joy.
It is one with the Spirit Volcano, and can improve the Spirit Volcano's grade by refining various Fire Element spiritual objects, thereby indirectly improving its own cultivation.
Overjoyed, it quickly reached out and caught the dozens of Fire Element inner cores that were thrown to it, and then sent a message of gratitude to its New Master, Ling Pengyun.
Ling Pengyun waved his hand and gave the order.
"Focus on refining the inner cores of those dozens of Fire Element Demon Beast, and quickly upgrade the grade of your First Rank Middle Grade Azure Spirit Volcano to the second level."
The Deep Blue Volcano, to which the Flame Monarch belongs, is currently First Rank Middle Grade volcano, while the Fire Spirit Vein that nurtured this volcano is classified as a low-grade Second Rank Low Grade.
Logically speaking, as long as the Azure Spirit Volcano has enough fire Spiritual Qi to help it, it can easily raise its grade to the same grade as the Fire Spirit Vein.
The Flame Monarch was only at the Qi Training Middle Stage, nodded slightly, bid farewell to Ling Pengyun, and happily carried the dozens of the Foundation Establishment Realm Fire Element Demon Beast cores back to the deep Azure Spirit Volcano deep underground along the fire crater the size of a human head on the riverbed, where he began to refine the Fire Element cores.
Considering that the second-tier Fire Essence Spirit Pool and the deep blue fire elemental mountain in the underground area would consume a great deal of fire elemental Spiritual Qi on a daily basis, Ling Pengyun did not cultivate Spirit Field Spirit Plant on the Second Rank Low Grade Fire Spirit Vein inside the Underground River cliff.
He then summoned the only Magic Treasure Prototype of his Lineage, the "Ling Xiao Flying Boat," and piloted it with Yan Siyi and Ling Penglin, traveling through the wide Underground River Mainstream, searching for Demon Beast and Spirit Vein along the way.
The three of them slew any Demon Beast they encountered.
Upon encountering Spirit Vein, they would set up an array to occupy it.
They searched the entire Muddy Swamp Territory Underground River Mainstream, which stretched for 200,000 li and was a thousand zhang wide at its widest point and several hundred li wide at its narrowest, and the three of them made a great discovery.
The three of them killed tens of thousands of water-type Qi Training Demon Beast and dozens of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast.
Two hundred various water-type Spirit Beast eggs, Spirit Beast Egg, or Demon Beast cubs were also found.
Ten groups of spirit fish were found. These ten groups of spirit fish were of different species, but they were all spirit fish at the Qi Refining Realm. Among them, the fish king was also at the Qi Refinement Realm.
The number of spirit fish in these schools is therefore not large, only about a few dozen each.
Even if ten groups of spirit fish are combined, there will only be about five hundred fish.
More than 300 First Rank Spirit Vein and more than 20 Second Rank Spirit Vein were found. Ling Penglin, the Array Formation Master, also used a large number of array materials that she had recently obtained from the Lineage Clan Repository to set up an array to protect each of these Spirit Vein.
Ling Pengyun, a Spirit Planter, also cultivated Spirit Field on these Spirit Vein, planting various Spirit Plant seeds he had prepared in them.
The group found thousands and dozens of first- and second-tier Spirit Plant Spirit Plant growing in the water along the various Spirit Vein of the Underground River.
The reason these Spirit Plant have survived to this day thanks to the Demon Beast within this Underground River is because they are not yet mature.
Ling Pengyun also transplanted these immature Spirit Plant onto the Spirit Field he had cultivated on the Underground River Spirit Vein.
As for mineral veins, Spirit Volcano, spirit pools, and the like, the group did not find them.
These kinds of spiritual treasures are concealed by the heavens and earth, and are surrounded by special soil and rocks that can hide their aura. Even a Golden Core True Person like Ling Pengyun would find it difficult to search for them.
This is why mineral veins and other rare natural treasures are scarce in Muddy Swamp Territory.
After finishing this matter, the three of them left the Underground River Mainstream and returned to the outside world.
Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi, a married couple, have returned to their work of cleaning up the Black Mud Muddy Swamp Territory.
Ling Penglin, carrying the vast amount of spiritual treasures he had gained from his journey to the Underground River, returned to his Lineage's new territory, "Lingyun Island," in this Muddy Swamp Territory, and stored the large amount of Demon Beast materials he had acquired in the Lineage Clan Repository.
She also told Ling Pengshan of the main family about the more than 300 First Rank Spirit Vein and dozens of Second Rank Spirit Vein she had found in the "Underground River Mainstream" deep in the Muddy Swamp Territory, and asked Ling Pengshan to arrange some direct descendants to go and guard them.
The Underground River Mainstream is the largest Underground River Underground River in the Muddy Swamp Territory, and it is interconnected with countless Underground River.
Using that Underground River Mainstream, any cultivator could easily and discreetly reach various parts of the Muddy Swamp Territory.
Entrusting such an important place to outsiders would be tantamount to putting the Lineage in danger.
Ling Pengshan, the master of the house, was also aware of this matter and immediately agreed.
Ling Penglin then bid farewell to Ling Pengshan and headed to "Spirit Beast Island," one of the seven Second Rank High Grade islands located deep within this Muddy Swamp Territory.
"Ling Xianzi, weren't you setting up formations on those Spirit Vein in the Muddy Swamp Territory?"
"What brings you here, fairy?"
Ye Fan, the Ling Clan's Beast Taming Guest Elder stationed on Spirit Beast Island and in charge of the island's thousands of Demon Beast and spirit fish, looked on with curiosity. He was very curious about Ling Penglin's visit to Spirit Beast Island, as she was usually very busy and rarely visited. So he asked her a question.
Ling Penglin knew that Ye Fan possessed extremely high talent in beast taming and was a highly valued member of the Lineage. In the future, there was a very high probability that he would be recruited into the Lineage as a son-in-law and become one of their own.
Therefore, she answered Ye Fan very politely.
"My trip here is not to search for Spirit Beast on this island. On the contrary, I am here to deliver Spirit Beast to this island."
After saying this, Ling Penglin used Law Technique to conjure a large stream of water that floated in the air.
Then, she took out two bulging Storage Bag from her bosom and summoned out two hundred fish demon eggs, Demon Beast eggs, Demon Beast cubs, and five hundred various spirit fish.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, please take care of these young Demon Beast beasts and spirit fish."
