Ambitious Ling Chengping

Ling Pengyun waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's alright, you deserve it."

"Have you encountered any difficulties in your Spirit Plant cultivation or your cultivation practice? If so, please tell me, and I can help you resolve your doubts."

Ling Chengyuan's eyes lit up. Ling Pengyun was Golden Core Realm True Person. It was a great fortune to receive guidance from such a powerful expert. He did not want to miss this opportunity and immediately recounted in detail the difficulties he had encountered during his two years of service at Falling Dusk Mountain.

Ling Pengyun answered his questions one by one.

Yan Siyi and Ling Chengping, who were standing nearby, did not disturb them and walked to the other side of the mountaintop to chat.

At lunchtime, Yan Siyi, a second-tier Spirit Chef, also set to work, cooking a large table of second-tier Spirit Cuisine, which Ling Chengping and Ling Chengyuan enjoyed a hearty meal.

Ling Chengping, who had deliberately kept her cultivation at the Qi Training Ninth Layer for four or five years in order to refine the purity of her spiritual power, also experienced a loosening of her bottleneck due to the excessively rich Spiritual Qi contained in the food she ate.

Ling Chengping considered that the spiritual energy in her body was unstable due to the improvement of her cultivation in the early years. After nearly four or five years of tempering, it had become stable. She took this opportunity to break through the bottleneck of the Qi Training Ninth Layer and enter the Consummation Realm Qi Refining.

She then emerged from seclusion and shared her joy of breaking through her cultivation level with Ling Pengyun and others who were also at Falling Dusk Mountain.

"His aura is smooth and refined; he is ready to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"Cheng Ping, do you plan to break through to Foundation Establishment on your own, or do you plan to rely on Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object to attempt this Foundation Establishment?"

Ling Pengyun's Divine Sense swept over Ling Chengping, his eyes narrowing slightly as he asked with a hint of deeper meaning.

Upon hearing this, Ling Chengping and Ling Chengyuan, who were standing to the side, both looked at Ling Chengping with curiosity.

Upon hearing Ling Pengyun's question, Ling Chengping frowned and fell into thought.

After hesitating for about five or six breaths, she finally made up her mind, a determined look appearing on her face, and spoke.

"Peng Yun Earl, it won't be long before I comprehend the Lineage's Explosive Tempering God Art to the Fourth Layer. At that time, my Divine Sense strength will also increase to the Foundation Establishment Realm, which will increase my chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment by 10%!"

"Under these circumstances, I intend to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment on my own."

Ling Pengyun had anticipated Ling Chengping's answer.

Ling Chengping Ling Pengyun seem crazy, but after spending years with Ling Chengping, Ling Chengping has come to know that she is a person with a firm and unwavering heart for the Dao.

Successfully breaking through to the Foundation Establishment on one's own would bring immense benefits.

The biggest advantage is that it can increase the probability of breaking through to the Golden Core by 10%.

"Good girl, you have ambition."

Ling Pengyun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ling Chengyuan, who was also about to break through to the Foundation Establishment, couldn't help but admire Ling Chengping's courage, who was much younger than him.

Even with the help of the Explosive Tempering God Art, Ling Chengping's chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment on her own are still relatively low.

If she fails, even if she has prepared Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object in advance to save her life at the critical moment, she will be seriously injured and will need at least several years to heal before she can try to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm again.

Several years is a long time for a Qi Refining cultivator.

Given such risks, Ling Chengyuan would not attempt it.

It's not that we dare not, but rather that we want to be on the safe side.

His situation was different from Ling Chengping's. Ling Chengping had good cultivation aptitude and had grown up with Ling Pengyun and his wife since childhood. She received Spirit Cuisine with pure spiritual energy every day. Now she was only in her thirties and had three or four opportunities to try to Foundation Establishment. Naturally, she was not afraid of failure.

He is now forty-five or forty-six years old, and it will take him at least five more years to reach the Qi Training Completion Refining.

By then, he will be in his fifties, an age at which he will have at most two more opportunities to attempt Foundation Establishment.

Under such circumstances, he naturally had to play it safe.

If he fails to achieve Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment in this lifetime because he seeks to make his future Dao Path smoother by breaking through it alone, it will become a lifelong regret for him.

If one does not enter the Foundation Establishment, one will become nothing but dust after a hundred years.

Once one enters the Foundation Establishment, one will enjoy a long lifespan of two hundred years.

After chatting for a while, Ling Pengyun invited Ling Chengyuan, a first-grade superior spirit plant grower, and Ling Chengyuan, a first-grade superior silkworm breeder, to enter the spirit plant garden in the mountains. They transplanted all the dozens of spirit mulberry trees, as well as the three second-grade inferior clear water spirit bamboos, the second-grade middle stone spirit walnut trees, the second-grade superior purple moon spirit trees, and the second-grade superior dark water spirit trees. They also took away the more than 120 earth-beard spirit silkworms raised in the garden.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun spoke to Ling Chengyuan, who was Spirit Planter.

"Cheng Yuan, the Lineage is short-handed right now, so we can only ask you to stay here, guard this mountain, and take care of the Spirit Plant within."

Ling Chengyuan smiled and said, "Peng Yun Earl, you flatter me."

"As Spirit Planter, I cultivate Spirit Plant whether I'm in Huai River County or in the new clan's territory; it's just a matter of changing the location."

"This place is rich in Spiritual Qi, making it a treasure trove for my cultivation."

"I'm stationed here, how could I feel wronged? I'm overjoyed."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun held Ling Chengyuan in higher regard.

He also had the idea of nurturing Ling Chengyuan, who had good talent in Spirit Plant. He waved his hand and took out dozens of first-grade mid-to-high-grade spiritual fruits worth hundreds of Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag and handed them to Ling Chengyuan.

"It's good that you think that way."

"Take these spiritual fruits and cultivate diligently. Try to break through to the Qi Training Completion as soon as possible. This will give you a better chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Upon seeing this, Ling Chengyuan's eyes lit up immediately.

With the help of those spiritual fruits, he was confident that he could break through to the Qi Refining Consummation Realm within two years.

"I will always remember your kindness, Peng Yun Earl Peng Yun Earl, and I will never fail to live up to your expectations."

Ling Chengyuan spoke with a solemn expression.

After saying that, he accepted the dozens of spiritual fruits.

"Alright, your eighth aunt, Cheng Ping, and I won't stay any longer."

"This place is now in your hands."

After saying this, Ling Pengyun unleashed the Magic Treasure Prototype, "Ling Xiao Flying Boat," and left the place with his wife Yan Siyi and Ling Chengping.

However, Ling Pengyun and the others did not rush back to Lingxiao Thousand Stars Lake in the White Cloud Mountain Range, but instead went to Lingxiao Mountain Clan Mountain the Ling Clan.

Ling Pengliang, who was stationed on this mountain and temporarily managed the shops and businesses of the Hundred Spirits Sect mortals Lineage in the Huai River County, as well as various other miscellaneous matters, visited Wen Nianling, a second-level weapon Artifact Refiner was refining Law Artifact within this mountain.

After several years apart, Ling Pengliang, Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a lifespan of two hundred years who is now only in his sixties or seventies, has a few strands of white hair on his head and many more black lines on his forehead.

Clearly, he has not been happy managing the miscellaneous affairs of Huai River County in recent years.

Wen Nianling, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who was famous for her beauty in her youth, now has many wrinkles on her face, which makes her look older and less beautiful.

This scene, witnessed by Ling Pengyun, touched him deeply.

"It would be a tremendous burden for Peng Shan and Nian Ling, who are not good at managing household affairs, to manage the Lineage's miscellaneous matters."

"Unfortunately, the Lineage currently lacks capable stewards, and the next Demon Beast Uprising has not yet arrived. Therefore, the Lineage cannot relocate entirely to Lingxiao Thousand Stars Lake in the White Cloud Mountain Range, lest the White Cloud Mountain Range be taken back by Demon Beast during the Demon Beast Uprising decades later."

"For the past few decades, we have had to make do with our cousin Peng Liang and his wife Nian Ling."

"Why!"

Currently, among the senior members of the Ling Clan Lineage, only Ling Pengshan is skilled in managing the household.

Lingxiao Thousand Stars Lake is a key development area for the Lineage in the future, and Ling Pengshan needs to be stationed there to handle miscellaneous matters.

Just as Ling Pengyun was feeling guilty, Ling Pengliang and his wife Wen Nianling were overjoyed at the arrival of Ling Pengyun, a Golden Core True Person.

Since the group already had a good relationship, they chatted warmly as soon as they met.

During this casual conversation, Ling Pengliang wife also learned that Ling Pengyun had led his people for one or two years to finally clear the Black Mud from the Muddy Swamp Territory and transform it into a lake suitable for mortals to live in.

As an elder of the Lineage, Ling Pengliang was very curious about the new Lineage ancestral land "Lingxiao Thousand Stars Lake" mentioned by Ling Pengyun.

Unfortunately, they are all tied up with other matters and cannot get away in the short term.

This also made them very regretful.

After the chat ended, Ling Pengyun waved his hand and took out Cultivation Resources worth several thousand Spirit Stone that he had brought back from Lingxiao Thousand Stars Lake, suitable for Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and handed them all over to Ling Pengliang and Wen Nianling.

Seeing this, Ling Pengliang and Wen Nianling felt a surge of warmth in their hearts.

Previously, they were all somewhat afraid that because they were burdened with other Lineage affairs, they would be unable to participate in the conquest of the new clan territory, which would lead to the Lineage stripping them of their core leadership status and relegating them to the margins.

In hindsight, it seems they were just overthinking things.

The Lineage is still the same Lineage, and Ling Pengyun is still the same good cousin.

"Brother Peng Liang and sister-in -Nian Ling, please continue to take care of things here in the Lineage. After I return to the Lineage's new ancestral land Lingxiao Thousand Stars Lake, in the White Cloud Mountain Range, I will have Peng Shan train someone skilled in managing the family as soon as possible to come and help you."

"That way you can have an easier time too."

"These days, it will be tough on the two of you."

Ling Pengyun said helplessly.

When Ling Pengliang and Wen Nianling heard that Ling Pengyun planned to train someone for the main family and came to help, they were overjoyed, feeling that they had found a savior. They also secretly began to look forward to the Lineage training someone skilled in the main family as soon as possible.

"By the way, among the more than 250,000 mortals still living in Huai River County, how many people with Spirit Root have emerged in the last two years?"

Ling Pengyun asked a question.

"The year before last, seven children were found to have Spirit Root, and this year eight children were found to have Spirit Root, although these children all possess the aptitude of four or Five Spirit Root."

"However, one of the children with the aptitude of the Four Spirits was observed by the elders of the Lineage who served as teachers at the clan school to have a talent for Pill Refining."

Ling Pengliang.

"This is a good thing. The Lineage is short of people in the new clan territory in the White Cloud Mountain Range. I will take these children with Spirit Root with me. As for the child with the talent for Pill Refining, I will arrange for him to study under Cheng Xin, the second-level Alchemist of the Lineage, for a few years."

Ling Pengyun was pleasantly surprised and said.

Ling Pengliang nodded slightly, agreeing to the matter.

Currently, the fifteen children in the mountains whose Spirit Root were recently discovered will undoubtedly have better prospects if they go to Lineage new clan territory of Lingxiao Thousand Stars Lake.

After all, there is a shortage of people there. Even if those fifteen children are less talented, they will still be given important roles during this period when the Lineage is short of people.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, had dinner together, and celebrated before parting ways.

Ling Pengyun also found the fifteen children whose Spirit Root had been detected. He took them, along with Yan Siyi and Ling Chengping, and together they boarded the Ling Xiao Flying Boat and flew away from the Clan Mountain, heading towards Lingxiao Thousand Stars Lake.
