Chapter 142: Return to the clan (3000 words, please subscribe)

As for Ling Yunhong, using the spirit-seeking rat in Ling Pengyun's hand to search for the monster's nest was also because winter was coming, the temperature was dropping, and most of the monsters had entered the caves, making it difficult for the Immortal Crane King to use his eyesight to find the monster's traces as before.

Under such circumstances, Ling Pengyun took out the spirit-seeking rat in the early stage of Qi training that he had obtained after killing the evil cultivator a few months ago.

Everyone also relied on the spirit-seeking rat's perception of spiritual energy, and then searched for the monster's hibernation nest when the monster hibernated, and killed the monster in the nest.

But the good times didn't last long. Three days ago, the spirit-seeking rat led the Ling family to search outside the nest of a bear monster, and happened to run into the foundation-building bear monster sleeping in the nest out for food.

Because the bear monster's cultivation level was as high as the middle stage of foundation building, its strength was strong, and the spirit-seeking rat was too weak. The people who followed the spirit-seeking rat had no time to rescue it, and the rat was beaten to death by the foundation-building bear monster.

Fortunately, Ling Pengyun and his companions were not weak either. With the formation and the attack of Ling Yunhong, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, they spent some time to kill the foundation building bear monster, which could be regarded as revenge for the spirit-seeking rat.

Ling Pengyun was quite moved by what Ling Yunhong had just said. "In this situation, it is indeed safer to return to the tribe. The two bottles of Yunsen Spiritual Water that I bought with contribution points have never been used for the thorn vines. After returning to the tribe, there is enough time to use them for the thorn vines."

Since Ling Penglin and his companions returned to the mountain, he has been wandering around in the Jiaomang Lake with Ling Yunhong and his companions for the past six months, looking for weaker monsters. He has killed one or two thousand monsters and six foundation building monsters. These six foundation building monsters do not include the two foundation building flame tigers that he killed with Liu.

Every month, Ling Yunhong, a foundation-building cultivator, would bring the corpses of monsters he had obtained in a month to the Bingjiao Market to exchange for contribution points. The contribution points he obtained were still 70% and 30%, with Ling Yunhong getting 70% and Ling Pengyun, who controlled the Yimu Monster Trapping Array, getting 30% equally among the nine people.

Although the three-point benefit was shared equally by the nine people who set up the Yimu Monster Trapping Array, Ling Pengyun did not take much of the share, but the monsters killed by everyone were too many. Since Ling Pengyun followed Ling Yunhong to kill monsters, he has received a total of 480 contribution points.

This is only the gain of Ling Penglin and others after they returned to the clan. If the benefits of seizing the Rock Armored Ape Mountain Ridge, stationing in the Rock Armored Ape Valley, hunting the Fireball Rat Monster Group and the Golden Feathered Bird Group are added, he has obtained a total of 925 contribution points.

Such a huge gain only took half a year, and Ling Pengyun was very satisfied.

At the same time, he was a little worried. Going deep into the Jiaomang Lake might be dangerous. Although it was good to earn a lot of contribution points in a short time, he had to live to spend it.

However, although he wanted to return to the clan, he did not speak, but waited for the other elders to speak first.

After a long while, Ling Rufan, who had the highest seniority, took the lead in agreeing to return to the clan, and then people began to speak one after another.

"Since everyone agrees to this, let's set off now." Ling Yunhong called.

At dusk, the Ling family's ten people left the desolate valley and sneaked towards the north.

After sneaking for four days and running more than 6,000 miles, everyone left the Jiaomang Lake and entered the Bingjiao County of the human race.

Bingjiao County was the new county city established by Bailingmen half a year ago after taking over the ten thousand miles of land in the Jiaomang Lake.

Because the two states of Ning and Jing controlled by Bailingmen both have as many as five counties, Bingjiao County was not included in the map of the two states by Bailingmen, but was planned by Bailingmen as the starting county of "Jiaozhou".

From this matter, Bailingmen's plot is very clear.

The second-level spiritual veins in this county are still occupied by Bailingmen disciples.

It is not that Bailingmen is overbearing and unwilling to sell the spiritual veins in its hands to the cultivators in the land, but the time of this battle to seize the territory is too short. Some of the Qi training families and casual cultivators who participated in this battle have not accumulated enough contribution points to exchange for foundation-building spiritual objects, so no foundation-building cultivators were born.

Without foundation-building cultivation, it is difficult to buy second-level spiritual veins from Bailingmen even if there are enough contribution points.

As soon as the ten people of the Ling family entered the territory of Bingjiao County, they went straight to the Bingjiao Mansion in the "Bingjiao Market" opened by the Bailing Sect in Bingjiao County, and handed over the corpses of the dozens of Qi training period monsters killed this month and the corpse of the bear monster in the early stage of foundation building that killed the soul-seeking rat to a Bailing Sect foundation-building deacon who was specially responsible for handling this matter, in exchange for 750 contribution points.

Ling Pengyun received 25 contribution points from this contribution point, plus the remaining 25 contribution points from his account for buying three bottles of Yunsen Spirit Water, a total of 50 contribution points.

Ling Pengyun considered that this contribution point was not much and there was no need to keep it, so he spent it all and bought five first-level high-quality spiritual fruits.

After buying things, Ling Pengyun was also bored, so he looked at what other family elders bought with contribution points.

Ling Rufan, Ling Ruru, and Ling Ruquan, the three elders, used their contribution points to buy first-level lower and middle-grade cultivation resources. Their cultivation was as high as the late stage of Qi training, so they naturally did not need such low-level cultivation pills.

The reason for exchanging them was to buy them for their descendants to pave the way for them.

Ling Yunqian, Ling Yuntu, and Ling Yunhe, the three elders of the Yun generation, were selecting some spiritual objects to enhance their strength, such as talismans, magic tools, etc.

Ling Xiaohua, a cultivator who was only one step away from entering the late stage of Qi training, spent a lot of money to buy a fifty-year-old evergreen spiritual fruit that could help cultivators break through bottlenecks.

Ling Pengxing, like Ling Pengyun, bought spiritual objects for cultivation without impurities, such as spiritual fruits.

As for Ling Yunhong, the foundation-building cultivator, because he bought more than a thousand contribution points, he was taken to the counter of Bingjiao Mansion by a foundation-building steward, and then to a quiet room for a private transaction.

Ling Pengyun looked at the door of the quiet room behind the counter and said curiously.

"The third ancestor is most likely going to buy the first-class foundation-building spiritual item Bailing Water this time."

When Ling Yunhong walked out of the quiet room, he saw that all the Ling family members had spent all their contribution points on the spiritual items they wanted. He did not stay for long and invited the family members to leave Bingjiao Mansion together.

The Ling family members first followed Ling Yunhong to the two stores opened by the family in this market, "Lingxiao Baiwu Pavilion" and "Lingxiao Dantang", and informed the only Ling family member in these two stores, the fourth elder Ling Yunfu, that they would no longer hunt monsters and planned to return to the family.

During the past six months, Ling Yunhong and others have successively handed over thirteen corpses of foundation-building monsters to Bailingmen, and naturally they have the qualifications to purchase two shops in Bingjiao Market.

Of course, this is only the qualification, and it still costs spirit stones to purchase shops.

The prices of these two shops are not cheap, and a total of four thousand spirit stones were spent to purchase them.

Of course, such expensive prices are also worth it.

This Bingjiao Market is the closest market to the Jiaomang Lake area where monsters are rampant in the territory of Bailingmen. As long as the cultivators in the territory of Bailingmen want to enter the Jiaomang Lake area to hunt monsters, they will inevitably go to this Bingjiao Market.

As long as the things sold in these two shops of the Ling family are of good quality, it is only a matter of time to make back the capital.

As for the fourth elder Ling Yunfu, who is proficient in business and originally managed the two shops of the family in Huaishui Market, he was transferred here for a reason.

Huaishuifang City has lost its advantage of being the closest to Jiaomang Lake due to the establishment of Bingjiaofang City. Once this advantage is lost, the flow of people in Huaishuifang City will decrease, and business will be bad.

Water flows to higher places, so businesses naturally want to open stores in places with more consumers.

Of course, the two stores in Huaishuifang City were not closed by the Ling family. They were all managed by other members of the Ling family. After all, even if the income of the two stores in Huaishuifang City decreases in the future, a few mosquitoes are still meat.

Lingxiao Baiwu Pavilion in Bingjiaofang City is equivalent to the store after the merger of Baibao Pavilion and Futang in Huaishuifang City.

This store has been open for several months, and there are as many as a hundred kinds of spiritual objects sold in the store. However, the most popular ones are the three kinds of spiritual rice of Ling family's unique first-level lower, middle and upper grades of yellow jade, green jade and white jade. After that, there are the spiritual talismans refined by the third elder of the family, Ling Yunfeng, and the two magical instruments, Xuanshui Sword and Xuanshui Shield, refined by the family's weapon refiner Ling Yunan.

As for Lingxiao Dantang, it mainly sells elixirs. Due to the lack of manpower and the lack of alchemists to make elixirs, it has not yet started business. The elixirs in this store will be supplied by Ling Yunhong, a first-class top-grade alchemist, in the future.

Since the Ling family exchanged a share of the Xuanshui iron ore vein from Bailingmen for a second-class alchemy inheritance, the Ling family has changed the development direction of the family's main hundred arts, from spiritual plants to alchemy, and spiritual plants will be supplementary in the future.

Ling Yunhong, the only foundation-building cultivator of the Ling family, naturally became the key to the family's hundred arts transformation. If he can become a second-class alchemist, he can support the family's alchemy.

It is for this reason that since the Ling family obtained the second-class alchemy inheritance, Ling Yunhong has been devoted to alchemy.

With good comprehension, the powerful spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building period, and the continuous supply of spiritual medicines from the Ling family, Ling Yunhong was able to refine several first-class top-grade elixirs as early as a year ago, and the success rate was not low.

If Ling Yunhong had not needed to kill monsters and exchange contribution points, the Lingxiao Dantang would have opened to welcome guests long ago.

The Ling family chatted with Ling Yunfu for a while before leaving Bingjiao Market and returning to the family.

Because they were not in the Jiaomang Lake area, the Ling family did not need to worry about their breath being detected and attracting monsters, so they all used flying magic tools or flying spirit beasts to travel.

In just five days, everyone returned to Lingxiao Mountain in early December.

As soon as they entered the mountain, Ling Yunhong took everyone to the General Affairs Hall to report.

When the great elder Ling Ruda in charge of the General Affairs Hall saw that the last ten of the thirty Ling family members who responded to the Bailingmen’s call to fight monsters returned safely, he was extremely ecstatic.

Then, Ling Ruda called on the few younger members of the clan, as well as the elderly, women and children in the clan to gather together and have a good meal to celebrate.
