#1574 - Transformation of spirits

Ling Penglin is the strongest formation master in the family. Her current formation master has reached the fifth level and her cultivation has reached the early stage of transformation. Naturally, her husband, the Xingyuan formation master, is also extraordinary.

The master of the Xingyuan Formation Master is not only the Great Elder Xingqing, but he himself also has extraordinary attainments in formations and cultivation.

Although his current progress is slightly behind Ling Penglin, this is mainly because Ling Penglin had refined a Yin-Yang Primordial Essence in his early years and improved his aptitude.

Otherwise, his path would definitely be faster than Ling Penglin's.

Even so, he is still considered an excellent talent and the most talented person under the God Transformation in Xinghai Pavilion.

Because he is the direct disciple of Great Elder Xingqing, the great-disciple of Patriarch Xinghai, and the brother-in-law of Ling Pengyun, his status in Xinghai Pavilion is extremely high. He became the second elder of Xinghai Pavilion, in charge of all affiliated forces of Xinghai Pavilion in the Northern Wilderness and other immortal cultivation worlds. He is also considered a frontier minister.

However, because of Ling Penglin's relationship, he has been staying in the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world for many years. The relationship between the couple is very good and they have several children.

For this reason, it is reasonable and emotional for Ling Pengyun to also very much hope that he can have one more spiritual object to become a god.

"And a spiritual object that can increase the chance of transformation by 15% is a treasure."

"If the family can get a share, one of the five spiritual transformation seedlings, Cheng Xia, Cheng Xin, Cheng Mie, Qing Meng, and Cheng Yuan, will have a better chance of reaching the spiritual transformation level in the future."

Ling Pengyun's eyes lit up and he was extremely excited.

Although there are many gods in the family now, there are also many potential gods in the future, and Ling Chengxia and others reached the perfection of the Nascent Soul a hundred years ago.

Currently, he is trying to condense some of the divine consciousness or divine power in advance, as well as master the incomplete divine Taoism, etc., in order to strengthen his foundation and prepare for the future.

And although the family has three sources of spiritual objects for transformation, namely the "Black Rock Spiritual Fruit Tree", the "Autumn Water Mysterious Fruit Tree", and the Lingxiao Earth Core in the Lingxiao Small Secret Realm, due to the problem of their grade, the highest grade of the spiritual objects they produce is only the lower fifth grade, and can only increase the probability of a cultivator breaking through to the spirit level by 30%.

Furthermore, there are many remaining spiritual seedlings in the family. Even if Ling Pengyun, as a spiritual plant husband, can increase the speed at which the Black Rock Spiritual Fruit Tree and the Autumn Water Transformation Tree produce spiritual fruits, there are still some shortcomings.

The family currently has a great demand for divine objects.

And this is an important factor in the family becoming stronger.

Take the previous case where Ling Pengyun single-handedly dealt with the Xutian Demon Flame Tiger King. If it weren’t for the help of the old patriarch and others, I’m afraid it would have been a long time before he could repel it.

But when dealing with the Lord of the Soul before, he did not contribute, but the old patriarch and others did it. So he asked the old patriarch Ling Yunhong and others for their opinions.

However, they are all people who understand the general situation, and even though they have obtained half of the power of the primordial spirit, it is difficult for them to refine any treasure. It is better to hand it over to the cultivator like Xinghai Patriarch who has extremely high attainments in refining divine objects, and let him refine it into a divine object.

In this way, benefits can be maximized.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun informed the Xinghai Patriarch about this matter.

"If that's the case, then let's do this. However, it will take a long time to refine the divine object, not to mention that there are two furnaces, so it will take thirty years for this matter to have a result. You must remember to come to the sect when the time comes."

Xinghai Patriarch said with a smile.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, and then the Xinghai Patriarch and the Xingqing Great Elder returned to the Xinghai Secret Realm.

Ling Pengyun led his men back to his family in the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world.

During this period, the old patriarch and others also discussed the various high-level ghost treasures that they had forcibly seized when they were dealing with the evil ghosts in the early and middle stages of the transformation of the spirit.

The most valuable of them is the fifth-order intermediate ghost sword formation weapon of the evil ghost natal formation of the old formation master in the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit.

Secondly, there are three ordinary fifth-order lower-grade ghost treasures, and eight quasi-fifth-order ghost treasures of good quality that have mastered some incomplete Taoist ideas. This kind of ghost treasure is also called a ghost treasure with the foundation of transformation.

"Everyone, I want to take down that ghost sword formation weapon to use it to refine my natal flying sword, the Ghost Immortal Flying Sword."

"And I also know that I can't just take it away based on my previous achievements."

"For this reason, I am willing to help Senior Ghost Immortal to condense a fifth-order lower-grade spirit object Ghost Immortal Light and send it to the family within two to three hundred years."

"Although that thing is a ghost spiritual object, as long as it is tempered, it can also be of great help to the righteous path."

Ling Pengxing said to everyone.

Although Ling Penglin is not young anymore, he is still a little clever when facing his family members.

Everyone was amused by her words, and the scene suddenly became joyful.

"I will definitely remember your kindness in my heart."

Ling Pengxing felt warm in his heart and bowed.

Afterwards, everyone divided up the remaining ghost treasures. However, they were righteous cultivators after all and could not use those ghost treasures directly, so they gave them to Ling Pengyun, a fifth-rank lower-grade weapon refiner, to help recast them.

During this period, they had intended to give part of the ghost treasures to Ling Pengyun. After all, they were able to enter the state of spiritual transformation thanks to Ling Pengyun's help in his early years.

However, Ling Pengyun's cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and those ghost treasures are of average quality, so he does not need them. But the fact that the old patriarch and others have this idea is enough.

"In the future, my wife, Grandpa Yunhong and others will walk the path together. Perhaps this will be a blessing, and even a good fate. I just don't know how far we can go with our concerted efforts."

Ling Pengyun looked into the distance at the sky where the space rift had appeared before. A ray of sunlight shone down and fell on his face, flashing a look of curiosity.

…………

As time went by, the entire Cang Xuan Realm, and even the Zi Yuan Realm and the Man Huang Realm returned to normal.

Monks from various major forces are distributed everywhere, helping to manage shops or doing odd jobs, etc., to earn resources and pave the way for their journey.

Some independent cultivators who are determined to pursue the truth often enter small territories of monsters and hunt monsters for a living. Although it is dangerous, as long as they can kill some monsters, they can earn a lot of profit. The speed of improvement of these independent cultivators is no weaker than that of cultivators from ordinary forces.

There are also some monks who pursue enjoyment as their main purpose. They go to the secular world to make some money, become wealthy, marry some beautiful women, and plan to live a carefree life.

Some wealthy cultivators have a broader vision and do not care about ordinary women at all. Instead, they value those beautiful female cultivators who are nourished by spiritual energy every day...

…

In the Lingxiao Secret Realm, the fifth-level spiritual land, Lingxiao Valley, there is a cave.

Ling Pengyun urged a ball of divine fire to continuously burn the bottom of a huge black refining furnace, heating it up.

This furnace was made by Ling Pengyun a hundred years ago by gathering together many resources. It is called Lingxiao Furnace and is at the quasi-fifth-grade level. It also touches upon an incomplete divine principle related to enhancing the power of refining tools. It is an extremely good refining furnace, which can at least increase Ling Pengyun's chance of refining a fifth-grade lower-grade magical tool by 10%.

After the temperature in the furnace reached a certain level, he began to throw high-level ghost weapons into it.

These were what the old patriarch and others had obtained in the previous battle, and they were all of good quality.

It is quite difficult to recast them.

But for a fifth-rank lower-grade weapon refiner like Ling Pengyun, this matter was undoubtedly extremely simple, and it went particularly smoothly.

It was successfully completed in just a few years.

"Finally, I have recast these ghost weapons. They are quite powerful and there are quite a few of them. With their help to Grandpa Yun Hong and his wife, the strength of Grandpa Yun Hong and his party will probably be greatly improved, and they can be of greater help to me."

'In addition, after refining various spiritual treasures this time, my weapon refining attainments have become stronger, which is also a good thing.'

Ling Pengyun smiled as he looked at the pieces of spiritual treasures placed in front of him that had been recast and had become extremely aura-filled, either the incarnation foundation or the fifth-order lower-grade spiritual treasures.

Afterwards, he gave those things to the old patriarch Ling Yunhong and others according to the previous distribution, which made the old patriarch and others very happy. They thanked Ling Pengyun one after another and took out some spiritual objects as the craftsmanship fee for the recasting.

However, Ling Pengyun did not accept it. The old patriarch and others had just entered the state of transformation into gods and were in urgent need of resources.

What he values ​​most about the old patriarch and others is their strength. Only when they are stronger can they be of greater help to him.

After everyone chatted for a while, Ling Pengyun went to find his wife Yan Siyi, who had been in seclusion, and had some affectionate time with her. Then he went into seclusion again.

He sat cross-legged on a cushion, quietly comprehending the origin of the Void Dao that he had touched through special means during the fight with the Void Demon Flame Tiger King, as well as the experience of fighting with powerful late-stage spirit transformation masters like Youpo Ghost King.

This matter helped him to comprehend the meaning of destruction.

With the accumulation of time, he had made good progress in these two Daos. He had already comprehended the Dao of Void to a small degree, and the Dao of Destruction, which he was best at, to a great degree.

But this is not his limit.

Moreover, once he can make further progress in these two aspects of Taoism, even if his cultivation is still in the middle stage of Spirit Transformation, his strength will surely increase greatly.

…

The other side.

'In the previous battle, the top-level magical power I mastered, the Heavenly Fire Mandarin Duck Technique, showed great power. It was more advantageous against those kind of incarnation evil spirits, and could restrain them with the pure Yang effect. But compared to those incarnation early stage strongmen of the same righteous path in the Cangxuan Realm, it was only mediocre. '

'In fact, the few strong men of the same level who have mastered great magical powers are much stronger than me.'

"My strength is at most at the middle level. So, it would be difficult for me to directly help my husband, who is a mid-stage spirit transformation expert. I might even be a hindrance. I can only do it by working together with Grandpa Yun Hong and others."

"And the family's current incarnation resources are not particularly abundant, and the amount I can get is average. It is simply difficult to improve my cultivation in a short period of time, enter a higher realm, and achieve a sudden increase in strength."

'For this reason, I can only settle for the next best thing and try to perfect the top-level magical power, the Heavenly Fire Mandarin Duck, to the highest level of magical power.'

Yan Siyi secretly planned for the future, then closed her eyes and began to meditate.

Her body gradually attracted the laws of heaven and earth around her, and an extremely powerful energy of heavenly fire was gathered by her and gradually absorbed into her body.

An incomparably mysterious aura of Heavenly Fire Taoism spread out.

…

In Lingxiao Secret Realm, in a remote place, there is a mysterious mountain range.

This place is known as the forbidden land for monks and the blessed land for ghosts.

There are ghost veins everywhere, at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

There are even three quasi-fifth-level ghost veins.

But... the aura of those ghost veins was somewhat unusual. They seemed to be connected together in a mysterious way, as if forming a huge whole.

Indirectly, the ghost energy in the mountains has increased a bit, and it has extraordinary benefits for the cultivation of creatures such as spirits and ghosts. It is like a unique place to raise ghosts.

A large number of spirits and ghosts are quietly cultivating in it, not caring about worldly affairs.

From time to time, some Ling family monks would come and take away some spirit ghosts to assist in the battle. It was as if those spirit ghosts were like spirit beasts in the eyes of the Ling family monks.

Moreover, the other ghosts in the mountains were accustomed to this and did not react unusually. Some Jindan ghosts with higher intelligence acted as managers, registering the names and numbers of ghosts taken away by the Ling family monks.

"Are these the ghost spirits that the family has cultivated for nearly a thousand years? And judging from this situation, these ghost spirits have indeed been completely integrated into the family and become part of the family's strength, just as the family has said."

"But according to rumors, there are a lot of high-level ghosts here, and there are even Nascent Soul ghosts, but why can't I see a single Nascent Soul ghost here?"

Some young monks of the Ling family who had just arrived here were secretly surprised when they saw this, but they were even more confused. They kept looking around, but they didn't see any Nascent Soul Realm ghost spirits.

Some brave young monks asked their elders about this.

"You little guys are really curious, but you don't have enough experience. Don't you find that the strong ghost energy in our family's ghost breeding ground is a bit abnormal?"

An elder from the Ling family said with a smile.

After his guidance, the young monks immediately became suspicious. After a careful look, they discovered that the ghosts in this ghost-raising place only absorbed about 30% of the ghost energy here.

The remaining 70% were gathered by a powerful force into a ghost valley in the center of the mountain range. However, that place was shrouded in a layer of cloud and mist, and ordinary people could not see it at all.

"Could it be the work of Pengxing Patriarch's Ghost Fairy Lamp, the ultimate treasure for raising ghosts?"

"……"

Many young monks secretly speculated and were somewhat curious, but such places were restricted areas where ghosts were raised. There were a large number of spirit ghosts protecting them and they could not be entered at will.

Those young cultivators had no choice but to focus their minds and, under the arrangement of some Jindan spirit ghost deacons, take away a spirit ghost with the same cultivation level as themselves as a special spirit pet.

Moreover, every time you break through a major realm in your cultivation, such as entering the foundation-building stage or the golden elixir stage, you can also receive an extra one by spending a large amount of spirit stones.

This is a family benefit, but if the family finds out that you are abusing ghosts, you will be punished.

Although those ghost spirits have no family bloodline, they are all carefully cultivated by the family and are very valuable. Abusing them is tantamount to wasting the family's resources and they deserve to be killed.
