Lingxiao Thousand-Star Lake
Ye Fan, Beast Tamer, was startled to see so many aquatic Demon Beast and spirit fish appear.
Although he was curious about where Ling Penglin had found so many aquatic Demon Beast, he dared not ask, as this matter was rather private, and Demon Beast cubs were expensive items.
He immediately responded.
"You flatter me, fairy. Taking care of the Spirit Beast for the nobles is nothing to me; it is simply my duty."
Ling Penglin was quite satisfied with Lin Fan's attitude.
"Well then, I won't bother you any longer."
After saying that, Ling Penglin took out a second-tier flying boat, stepped onto it, and left the place.
Lin Fan, the Beast Tamer still on the Spirit Beast Island, watched Ling Penglin's figure gradually disappear into the distance, a look of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
After considering it for several breaths, Lin Fan thought back to how his transactions with the Ling Clan back then—the valuable second-tier Beast Taming Inheritance and the second-tier pill recipe—had gone very smoothly, and how he had established a deep friendship with the Ling Clan. Only then did he make up his mind.
He then took out the Second Rank Low Grade flying sword that Ling Pengyun had given him not long ago, and stepped up to chase after Ling Penglin in the distance.
Ling Penglin possessed extremely strong Divine Sense and quickly detected the movement behind her. She stopped her flying boat and, with a hint of vigilance, prepared to fight at any moment.
After Lin Fan arrived in front of her on his sword, she asked him with a hint of doubt.
"Lin Daoyou, is there anything else you need?"
Lin Fan took out a black token from his Storage Bag, which showed no sign of life, and handed it to Ling Penglin, asking her questions.
"Fairy, I won't lie to you, I found this token at the place where I obtained that second-tier Beast Taming Inheritance."
"Fairy, do not be fooled by the fact that this object has no aura. This token is incredibly sturdy, and based on my exploration over the years, it seems to contain many array patterns. Furthermore, I suspect that this token is also the object used to activate some kind of array."
"Furthermore, the grade of that formation must be quite high."
"However, the array patterns inside this token are all damaged, making it difficult for me to find the location of that array using this token."
"Fairy, could you please take a look at this? If you can repair it, we can use this token to find that unknown high-level formation."
"That high-level formation must be unclaimed now, otherwise this token for activating the formation wouldn't have been useful for so long. If we can find that high-level formation, we can definitely take it over."
"At that time, we will split the profits generated by that high-level formation equally, and I can also hand over that high-level formation to the nobles."
Upon hearing this, Ling Penglin immediately became curious.
She then took the token and examined it carefully.
After a few breaths, Ling Penglin's expression brightened, and she spoke.
"This token does indeed contain array patterns, and those array patterns are indeed damaged."
"Your previous guess is probably true; this item is at least the key to activating Third Rank Array Formation."
"However, repairing the damaged high-level array patterns within this token is quite difficult, and I'm afraid I can't do it right now. I would need to raise my array formation skill to the Second Rank High Grade level before I could accomplish it."
"However, my mastery of formations is not far from reaching the Second Rank High Grade, and I will definitely reach it within five years."
"I accept the task of repairing the damaged array patterns within this token."
If Ling Penglin were to inscribe third-order array patterns on that token, Ling Penglin naturally find it difficult to do so.
However, repairing the existing third-order array patterns within the token is much easier, and Ling Penglin can do it too.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "If you are confident in repairing the damaged array patterns within this token, then I will await your good news."
"There is one more thing, Fairy. The value of this item is too great. I wonder if you could keep it a secret for me and Heavenly Dao Oath that you will not do anything to endanger my life?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Penglin naturally understood that Lin Fan was worried that he had already obtained the token and would keep the Third Rank Array Formation behind it for himself.
She smiled knowingly and said with a smile.
"Lin Daoyou, rest assured, the Ling Clan values fairness above all else, and I will certainly not spread this matter."
She also made a very magnanimous Heavenly Dao Oath, promising never to harm Lin Fan's life.
Seeing this, Lin Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself.
"In this matter, the Ling Clan has indeed made the right choice."
Afterwards, Lin Fan and Ling Penglin agreed that they would repair the incomplete array patterns inside the token within ten years, after which Ling Penglin left the place.
Lin Fan returned to Spirit Beast Island and carefully placed the Spirit Beast cubs and spirit fish that Ling Penglin had given him on the Spirit Beast Island.
Including this batch of two hundred Spirit Beast cubs and five hundred Qi Refining Realm spirit fish, there are now a total of twelve hundred tamed Demon Beast and nearly two thousand spirit fish on this Spirit Beast Island.
The Lineage's group of over a thousand Azure Moon Spirit Fish, which they had previously kept in Huai River County, was brought here by Ling Pengshan six months ago.
He also brought the hundred Demon Beast from the back mountain of his Lineage to this place.
This is why there are so many Demon Beast and spirit fish on Spirit Beast Island.
However, the sheer number of Demon Beast and spirit fish was giving Lin Fan, the Beast Tamer managed the area alone, a headache.
Every day, he spends most of his time taking care of the island's Demon Beast and spirit fish, which greatly slows down his cultivation speed.
But he can't just not take care of her, since it's his responsibility.
If the Ling Clan discovers that he is slacking off, his offerings will certainly be reduced.
This also means that Lin Fan, a working man, can only hope that the Ling Clan can find other Beast Tamer Guest Elder soon as possible, so that he can have a helper.
However, those skilled in all arts are rare, and those skilled in beast taming are even rarer.
Even with the Ling Clan's resources, it would be difficult to find a master of beast taming in a short period of time.
One month later.
After more than a year of hard work, Ling Pengyun and his team finally managed to clear away all the Black Mud from the Muddy Swamp Territory.
Ling Pengyun, Golden Core True Person primarily practiced Water Element Technique, used his sensitivity to water flow to draw in countless streams from the massive Underground River Mainstream, flooding the Muddy Swamp Territory where the Black Mud had been cleared away.
The entire Muddy Swamp Territory was transformed into a vast lake, with only islands built from the Black Mud of the swamp standing in the middle of the lake.
In the depths of the lake, a few fish swim by from time to time, creating a vibrant scene.
Ling Pengyun and the other Ling Clan cultivators who had cleared away the Black Mud stood on the deck of the Magic Treasure Prototype, the Ling Xiao Flying Boat, and were all shocked by the scene before them.
At the same time, a hint of smugness appeared on their faces.
Originally, this place was just a patch of Black Mud, smelly and teeming with mosquitoes and venomous snakes.
And now that this place is so vibrant, they have all contributed a lot.
In the future, the Ling Clan clan will also live in the land they have created, which is a great achievement.
Future generations will remember this day.
"You all contributed to building this new clan territory, and each of you will be rewarded with 300 Contribution Points. This matter will be recorded in the clan genealogy."
Ling Pengyun, who was among the crowd, subtly noticed the change in the expressions of his clansmen, and he smiled and said something.
Upon hearing this, everyone present beamed with joy.
Being included in the family genealogy is an extremely honorable thing. Their descendants will also know about this, and they will have something to brag about to their children in the future.
At the same time, this is also an achievement. If their cultivation level is good in the future, they can become Clan Elder in the clan based on this achievement.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Ancestor Peng Yun."
Ling Wanduo and the other cultivators of the Wan Generation also expressed their gratitude to Ling Pengyun.
Ling Chengxia and Yan Siyi also exchanged a few words in hushed tones.
Then, Ling Pengyun looked down at the boundless lake below, which was now devoid of any swampy Black Mud, and the thousands of islands within it. His expression shifted, and he made a suggestion.
"This area has been transformed into a lake and marshland, and no longer resembles a swamp. It is no longer suitable to name it the Muddy Swamp Territory."
"This lake is boundless, with thousands of islands within it. It is also the Ling Clan Territory. In my opinion, it should be renamed Lingxiao Thousand Stars Lake."
"Ling Xiao is my clan name, Qianxing means island, and Hu means this lake."
What do you think of this name?
Yan Siyi was the first to agree. "This is a good name. As soon as outsiders hear it, they will know that this is the territory of my Ling Clan."
Ling Chengxia, Ling Wanduo, and other members of the Wan generation subsequently expressed their agreement.
Seeing this, Ling Pengyun nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile.
"In that case, this area shall be officially named Lingxiao Thousand Stars Lake."
"We've been away from our tribe island for over a year now, busy clearing the Black Mud from the swamp. It's time for us to return to our tribe."
After saying this, Ling Pengyun channeled a stream of spiritual energy into the Magic Treasure Prototype, the Ling Xiao Flying Boat, beneath his feet, and led his clansmen on board toward Lingyun Island, deep within the Lingxiao Thousand Stars Lake.
