Ling Pengqiu's Dominance; Disciple of the Golden Core Force Heavenly Talisman Sect
"Brother Peng Qiu, those Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator who manage the Lingxiao Ridge territory for the Lineage all have some prestige among the Rogue Cultivator. If we break off relations or touch their interests, the thousands of Rogue Cultivator in the Lingxiao Ridge territory will probably be thrown into chaos in the future. That would be too risky."
Seeing Ling Pengqiu's appearance, Ling Pengcheng immediately guessed what Ling Pengqiu was going to do, and he offered some words of advice.
Before he could finish speaking, Ling Pengqiu was extremely angry, interrupted him with a snort.
"A mere Foundation Establishment Realm Rogue Cultivator, a bunch of scattered soldiers, not even a single one at the Foundation Establishment Completion, why should my Ling Clan fear them?"
"If my Lineage didn't still need the help of those Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator, I would have wiped them out long ago."
"They took the Spirit Stone from my Ling Clan and think they can just sit back and do nothing? Absolutely not. These Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator need to be suppressed before they'll behave."
Ling Pengcheng agreed upon hearing this, and since he didn't want to say anything more, he nodded slightly and then called the cultivators in the patrol team to go and inform the Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator in Lingxiao Ridge.
Ling Pengqiu gazed at Ling Pengcheng's figure and sighed inwardly.
"Brother Peng Cheng is still too indecisive and not up to the task. However, it would be prudent to let him manage some small affairs."
Then, he transformed into a Qing Feng and headed towards the Cloud Peak where the market was located.
While still on Fangshi Avenue, Ling Pengcheng, after arranging for people to notify the Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator in the Lingxiao Ridge area, found the young Qi Refining Qi Training Late Stage who looked terrified and had just escaped from the clutches of the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Black-Clothed Interceptor outside the Fangshi Mountain Gate.
The young cultivator was also experienced. Upon seeing Ling Pengcheng, a cultivator dressed in the Ling Clan Daoist Robe, approaching, he immediately cupped his hands in thanks.
"Many thanks to the Foundation Establishment senior of your noble family for his help. The Foundation Establishment senior of your noble family was too fast just now, and I was unable to thank him in person. I am truly grateful for this matter."
Seeing the young cultivator's attitude, Ling Pengcheng was quite satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. My Ling Clan also bears some responsibility for your encounter with such an ambush in my Lingxiao Ridge territory. I am glad that you do not blame my Ling Clan. There is no need to mention gratitude again."
"By the way, may I ask your name, fellow Daoist? And how did you come to provoke that Intercepting Cultivator?"
Upon hearing this, the young cultivator's expression shifted slightly, and he replied.
"My name is Wang Quan. I know some talisman-making techniques. For the past few days, I have been setting up a stall in Lingxiao Marketplace, which is run by nobles, to refine and sell spirit Spirit Talisman Cave in order to earn some Spirit Stone to exchange for Cultivation Resources."
"A few days ago, the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Black-Clothed Interceptor who was chasing me bought about twenty First Rank Middle Grade Defensive Spirit Talisman from me."
"At the time, I thought that the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Black-Clothed Interceptor intended to buy it for a junior, so I didn't find anything strange about it and didn't think much of it."
"Today, I was just about to leave this noble town to travel, when the incident just happened."
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengcheng's eyes lit up.
"In that case, that Black-Clothed Interceptor in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment probably had his eye on you long ago, fellow Daoist." He said this simply, and then asked what was on his mind.
"Fellow Daoist is Talisman Crafter? Able to refine First Rank Middle Grade Spirit Talisman Cave?"
The young-looking Wang Quan dared not hide the fact that he had sold Spirit Talisman Cave in the market. If the Ling Clan wanted to investigate, they could guess that he was Talisman Crafter by the large number of Spirit Talisman Cave he sold.
Rather than that, it's better to just say it directly. "I am indeed Talisman Crafter, and I can barely refine Tier 1 Middle Grade Spirit Talisman."
Upon hearing the reply, Ling Pengcheng smiled and extended an invitation.
"Fellow Daoist, would you be interested in joining my Ling Clan as a Guest Elder? The benefits for Guest Elder in my Ling Clan are quite good. As long as you serve for ten years, you can receive a Spirit Vein for free."
"In addition, I observe that you possess abundant Qi and Blood, and I imagine you are not very old. You have the opportunity to break through to the Qi Training Completion before the age of sixty."
"At that time, given your talent in refining Tier 1 Middle Grade Spirit Talisman talismans at such a young age, it is not unreasonable for my Ling Clan to gift you two second-grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object to help you reach the Foundation Establishment Realm."
Upon hearing this, Wang Quan's eyes widened in surprise.
Although he had not been in Lingxiao Marketplace for long, he had heard that the Ling Clan was recruiting a wide variety of artists and that the conditions were very generous.
However, he had never heard of such generous treatment for those who joined the Ling Clan as guest Guest Elder, even receiving Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object as gifts.
Even if they are only second-rate Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, they are still quite expensive. Each one costs at least four or five thousand Spirit Stone on the market, and two of them can be worth at least eight to ten thousand Spirit Stone.
However, Wang Quan was no ordinary person; the two second-rate Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object only gave him a slight shock.
If the Ling Clan could provide Foundation Establishment Pill, he might actually be able to join the Ling Clan as Guest Elder.
To avoid displeasing Ling Pengcheng, Wang Quan no longer concealed his identity and spoke.
"The conditions offered by you, fellow Daoist, are indeed generous, and I am very tempted. However, I am True Disciple a second-level Talisman Crafter elder in the Heavenly Talisman Sect of Chen Country. My trip out of the sect this time is merely for travel."
"In a few years, I will return to my sect to cultivate in seclusion."
"Furthermore, if the sect finds out that I have joined a noble family as a Guest Elder, they will probably blame me, since your Lineage Non-Self Heavenly Talisman Sect Lineage."
"I can only miss the opportunity to join the nobility as a guest Guest Elder. I hope you will not blame me, fellow Daoist."
Ling Pengcheng's eyes trembled, and he felt a greater sense of respect for Wang Quan.
Previously, Wang Quan's confusion about using two Second Rank Spirit Talisman was also resolved.
The Chen Country is next to the Yan Kingdom Ling Clan, where the Ling clan resides. The two countries are also adjacent in territory, so cultivators from both countries often travel between the two places.
The Heavenly Talisman Sect of the Chen Country, like the Lingxiao Ling Clan, is also Golden Core Force.
The Heavenly Talisman Sect is extremely famous in the Chen Country. It is a Golden Core sect that takes Spirit Talisman Cave as its foundation.
Its sect has many Talisman Crafter, and even a Third Rank Low Grade Talisman Crafter at the Golden Core Realm realm.
"So you are a esteemed disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Sect. My apologies for my lack of respect. No wonder you have such cultivation and such strong mastery of talismans at such a young age."
Ling Pengcheng smiled and politely bowed to him, then added something else.
"Fellow Daoist, it is indeed inappropriate for you, a disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Sect, to join my clan as a Guest Elder."
"However, judging from what you just said, you will stay in the Yan Kingdom for at least a few years."
"Fellow Daoist, you must have been short of Spirit Stone during your travels in the Yan Kingdom these past few years. It seems too troublesome for you to set up a stall and sell Spirit Talisman Cave yourself, as you did the other day. Why don't you cooperate with my clan and do business together?"
The Ling Clan Lineage currently in dire need of skilled craftsmen to refine the massive amount of Demon Beast materials obtained from the slaying of the Swamp Giant Crocodile Clan into Spirit Talisman Cave, which can then be converted into Spirit Stone.
Therefore, Ling Pengcheng tried every means to persuade the Talisman Crafter Wang Quan to stay.
Wang Quan, who had been targeted by Jie Xiu for selling Spirit Talisman Cave at a stall, was immediately intrigued by the proposal to do business together.
He then said, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you elaborate?"
When Ling Pengcheng saw Wang Quan's response, he knew that this matter was promising, and his smile widened.
"Our clan will provide shelter and materials for crafting Spirit Talisman Cave. Your only responsibility is to craft the Spirit Talisman Cave."
"We guarantee a success rate of over 40%. For every low-to-mid-grade first-tier Spirit Talisman Cave you refine, you will receive half Spirit Stone and a crafting fee of one Spirit Stone."
"Furthermore, our tribe guarantees that your information and any information related to our transactions will not be leaked."
"Does Fellow Daoist Wang find this price reasonable?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Quan was not satisfied with the price and began to bargain.
"This price is a bit low. I can guarantee a 60% success rate in refining first-grade low- to mid-grade Spirit Talisman Cave. However, I will need seven Spirit Stone for every ten low-grade Spirit Talisman Cave I refine, and one and a half Spirit Stone for every Tier 1 Middle Grade Spirit Talisman I refine."
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengcheng's eyes shone even brighter.
The success rate of refining first-grade low- to mid-grade Spirit Talisman Cave is not low, with a success rate of 60%.
This level of skill is enough to attempt to become First-Tier Superior-Grade Talisman Crafter.
The increased success rate of refining first-grade low- and mid-grade Spirit Talisman Cave by 20% brings enormous value.
"Is the success rate you mentioned true, fellow Daoist?"
Ling Pengcheng said happily.
"Of course." Wang Quan nodded confidently.
"Alright, let's go with the price you mentioned, fellow Daoist," Ling Pengcheng said with a smile.
Wang Quan was delighted to see Ling Pengcheng agree.
Immediately, the two walked together into the depths of the market.
