#1591 - The fourth fifth-order spiritual tree

“I haven’t found it yet.”

"That kind of life-extending spiritual plant with fifth-level qualifications is really too rare."

"And even if there is, I guess no force is willing to take action."

The great elder Ling Chengyuan sighed helplessly.

"It's been decades, and there's still no news. It's a bit troubling."

"If that's the case, we can only temporarily focus our main energy on nurturing Cheng Xinni's life-enhancing apricot tree."

Ling Pengyun secretly made up his mind.

Originally, in addition to planning to slowly help his own natal Biluoxianweng tea tree to reach the fifth-level middle quality and increase lifespan.

He just wanted to get a good longevity-increasing spiritual plant seedling, and then refine it and cultivate it into his own spiritual plant.

In this way, every time the spiritual plant breaks through a realm, not only can it replenish its extraordinary lifespan, but the spiritual fruit it produces can also bring longevity.

This is of extraordinary benefit to Ling Pengyun.

But unfortunately, this spiritual plant has never been found.

Fortunately, he has a backup plan.

Among his three descendants, Ling Chengxin, is a spiritual plant husband like him.

It has some chance to enter the fifth level.

Moreover, Ling Chengxin had refined a Yin-Yang Primordial Essence in his early years, and his aptitude had improved greatly, making him a potential candidate for the family's divine transformation.

The last few years have been about consolidating the foundation.

If her spiritual apricot tree could advance to the fifth level ahead of time, it would actually be beneficial to her future efforts to achieve spiritual enlightenment.

The only drawback is that after the spiritual apricot tree breaks through, it will only give back life span to Ling Chengxin, not Ling Pengyun.

He could only rely on the spiritual apricots grown from the spiritual apricot tree to increase his lifespan.

'But no matter what, this is one of the ways to quickly increase my lifespan nowadays.'

"It will also be good for Cheng Xin. If we can cultivate this tree and stabilize her progress towards becoming a god, the benefits may be even greater."

Ling Pengyun had a definite idea in his mind.

In the days that followed, in addition to taking care of the spiritual plants at home, he would also take special care of Ling Chengxin's longevity spiritual apricot tree.

His attainments in spiritual plants were already strong, and he often provided them with special high-level cultivation resources, and even passed on a primordial essence.

The growth rate of the spiritual apricot tree became much faster.

Ling Chengxin also benefited from this, both her progress in consolidating her foundation and her progress in cultivating spiritual plants were improved.

…

Some time passed.

Cangxuan Realm, Lingxiao Secret Realm.

In the treasure land of the Ghost Path, deep in the Ghost Immortal Mountains, in the fifth-level ghost land, Ghost Immortal Valley, an inexplicably huge wave of aura erupted, attracting countless ghost auras in the entire mountain range.

Countless ghost auras suddenly turned into a huge ghost tide and poured into the Ghost Immortal Valley.

'Senior Ghost Immortal has finally come this far. It seems that the five-level spiritual treasures that Brother Pengxing refined for him were worth it. I just don't know if Senior Ghost Immortal can seize this opportunity.'

Ling Pengyun, who was taking care of spiritual plants in Lingxiao Valley, turned his head and looked, immediately revealing a look of anticipation, then he moved his mind and flew to the outside of the Guixian Mountains to observe carefully.

Many other gods of the family who were in the Lingxiao Secret Realm also rushed over and watched curiously.

But they all know something about current affairs.

In the battle of Shuiqing Realm, Ling Pengxing, the most powerful ghost cultivator in the family, made great contributions with the help of the fifth-level intermediate ghost treasure, the Ghost Fairy Flying Sword. After the war, he was given a lot of treasures, including two or three fifth-level spiritual treasures.

But those things were of little help to him, so he gave them all to the Ghost Fairy Lamp for refining, just like Ling Pengyun did in his early years.

Indirectly, the foundation of the Ghost Fairy Lamp became stronger and stronger, and finally reached the limit of the fifth-grade lower level, and thus began to break through the bottleneck, causing the current unusual movements.

…

And as time goes by.

A few days later.

An extremely large and strange wave suddenly emerged, and then the laws of heaven and earth began to converge above the Ghost Immortal Valley, forming an extremely large calamity cloud.

Moreover, because the one undergoing the tribulation is the Ghost Fairy Lamp, a spiritual treasure of the ghost path, the power of the tribulation cloud is several points stronger than that of a normal tribulation cloud.

The power of the first thunderbolt is enough to be comparable to an ordinary attack in the early stage of transformation.

But the Ghost Fairy Lamp is no ordinary item after all. Among all the high-level spiritual treasures that the Ling family has come into contact with, it has been around the longest and has the most extraordinary means.

It was not afraid of the thunder at all and flew directly into the air.

He summoned hundreds of thousands of ghost spirits from his body, as well as a top-level quasi-fifth-level battle formation, and controlled the ghost spirits to set up the formation.

A powerful evil ghost spirit suddenly appeared. It was about ten feet tall, with muscles all over its body. It looked extremely strong and had a ferocious face. It held a huge stick in one hand and easily blocked the thunder from the sky.

The next moment, several extremely strong iron chains flew out of the Ghost Fairy Lamp and directly hit into the thunder, forcibly absorbing the origin of the laws of heaven and earth contained in it.

The power of the thunder became weaker and weaker.

In the end, he was even sucked dry by the ghost fairy lamp.

Moreover, although the ghosts and battle formations it conjured up were external objects, those ghosts were bred by it and were of the same lineage as it. The top-level ghost formation was also arranged by it personally.

Those methods did not cause backlash from the calamity clouds in the sky, but simply treated them as methods of the Ghost Fairy Lamp.

"Senior Ghost Immortal's method of overcoming the lightning tribulation is probably unique even in the entire Cangxuan Realm."

Ling Pengyun, who was watching from afar, was extremely shocked when he saw this.

Afterwards, more than twenty calamity thunders that fell from the calamity cloud above the Ghost Immortal Mountains were all blocked by the Ghost Immortal Lamp in that special way.

It was not until the last few thunders that it began to feel overwhelmed and turned to attack with all its strength, even using a powerful fifth-order ghost formation to activate a top-level quasi-fifth-order mountain protection formation that it had set up in the Ghost Immortal Mountains in its early years.

Afterwards, he barely survived the thunder.

A piece of nectar fell from the calamity clouds in the sky, causing it to gradually transform and directly turn into a fifth-level mid-grade ghost treasure.

And because it absorbed so much of the essence of thunder this time, it had more insights and fell into a deep sleep.

Its achievements in Taoism became stronger and stronger, and it even mastered the true meaning of a superior auxiliary ghost way, making its auxiliary abilities even stronger.

Today, with the help of the rich ghost energy in the Ghost Immortal Mountain Range, it will take only about seventy years to condense a fifth-level lower-grade divine ghost fairy light.

A fifth-level, mid-grade ghost fairy light appears once every two hundred years.

In addition, the ghost energy it condenses is more refined, which can be of great help even to a ghost cultivator like Ling Pengxing who has reached the stage of transformation. It can at least speed up his cultivation several times.

"It is my great fortune to have this treasure."

Ling Pengxing, who had always been his personal bodyguard, was overjoyed when he learned what had happened.

Afterwards, he came out of seclusion with the Ghost Fairy Lamp and went to report the good news to Ling Pengxing and other clansmen outside the Ghost Fairy Mountains.

"Congratulations to Senior Ghost Immortal for successfully entering the fifth-level middle-grade realm. Senior Ghost Immortal is indeed not an ordinary person. I never thought that after Senior Ghost Immortal broke through this realm, your abilities would improve so much."

“As time goes by, I’m afraid that you, Senior Ghost Immortal, will be able to cultivate many divine ghosts with extraordinary strength…”

Ling Pengyun and others congratulated the Ghost Fairy Lamp that had just come out of seclusion. At the same time, they also felt a little more envious of Ling Pengxing, the owner of the Ghost Fairy Lamp.

The current value of the Ghost Fairy Lamp is far beyond the reach of ordinary fifth-grade mid-grade ghost treasures or spiritual treasures, and its value is quite high.

Ling Pengxing is only in the initial stage of transformation, yet he possesses such treasures, and even an extremely powerful fifth-rank intermediate-grade ghost fairy flying sword.

A total of two fifth-level medium-grade ghost treasures.

This kind of opportunity is really strong. Even the spiritual treasure foundation of Ling Pengyun in the early stage of transformation cannot be compared with it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Brother Pengxing, this kind of luck is truly heaven-shattering."

Ling Pengyun couldn't help but praise him secretly.

"This is all thanks to the help of the nobles and Pengxing. If it weren't for you, I would not be able to reach this level even after tens of thousands of years if I relied on my own strength alone."

"In the future, as long as the nobles need to cultivate ghost spirits, I am willing to help them."

“…”

At this time, the spirit of the Ghost Fairy Lamp was extremely intelligent and expressed gratitude.

Afterwards, the two sides had a brief chat, and Ling Pengyun and others presented some gifts before leaving.

The Ghost Fairy Lamp also began to try to cultivate the divine ghosts.

Although it has a large number of ghost spirits under its command, none of them has reached the level of a god. It can only rely on the top-level quasi-fifth-level battle formation to barely get on the stage.

Ling Pengxing, a ghost cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, entered the space inside his body and, with the help of the countless pure ghost energy condensed by him, practiced madly and hard.

In the battle of Shuiqing Realm, he had some insights into the way of the sword due to the high-intensity fight with Tongtian Daojun. And his aptitude in the way of the sword was already good, so he had already cultivated the way of the sword to the pinnacle of the fifth level.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, his swordsmanship will be able to reach the fifth-level intermediate level, and his swordsmanship will be even stronger by then.

…

Several more years passed.

This day.

The fifth-level spiritual land, deep in Lingxiao Valley.

An area covered in clouds and mist, filled with high-level spiritual fields, in which many high-level spiritual plants were planted.

Ling Pengyun walked among them, constantly taking care of them one by one using the spiritual plant method.

After a while, he stopped beside a spiritual apricot tree.

'Cheng Xinnizi's spiritual apricot tree has good foundation, and it's time to let it start trying to break through the bottleneck to the quasi-fifth level.'

Ling Pengyun looked at it carefully, then called Ling Chengxin, who had been in seclusion in Lingxiao Valley for many years, and sent a method to the spiritual apricot tree to assist the spiritual plant in breaking through the bottleneck.

Moreover, the master, Ling Chengxin, also used the method of his own spiritual plant to continuously transfer rich spiritual power to it as support.

Its foundation couldn't help but become stronger.

In addition, a few years ago, it had refined a primordial essence, which greatly improved its aptitude. The probability of it breaking through the bottleneck this time was as high as 70% to 80%.

Finally, it successfully broke through and entered the quasi-fifth-level realm. From then on, it could produce a batch of quasi-fifth-level spiritual apricots every once in a while, and the speed and quantity of producing other spiritual apricots of slightly lower grades were also stronger.

At the same time, he also gave back a large amount of lifespan and spiritual power to Ling Chengxin.

Ling Chengxin had already been honing her foundation for many years, and with the effect of this feedback, she successfully polished her foundation to the limit.

Moreover, the incomplete spiritual plant-type divine principle that she had touched upon in her early years was completely made up for. She managed to comprehend it and her attainments in the spiritual plant-type divine principle increased instantly.

She was even sure that as long as she was given some more time, she could improve her spiritual plant attainments to the fifth-level lower grade in advance.

This is also one of the benefits of mastering the divine meaning of spiritual plants.

"Yes, if this can be accomplished, it will be easier for me to take care of the high-level spiritual plants in various parts of the family in the future."

Ling Pengyun said with a smile.

In a blink of an eye, decades later, the quasi-fifth-grade spiritual apricot tree finally produced a batch of quasi-fifth-grade spiritual apricots, three in total.

'The vitality contained in these spiritual apricots is quite good.'

"Also, although this kind of spiritual apricot can only swallow three spiritual apricots of the same level at most, the quasi-fifth-level spiritual apricots it breeds after that are useless to me."

“But this kind of spiritual apricot is a rare thing even in the entire Cangxuan Realm. Not only can it be used to benefit other powerful people in the family, but it can also be used to find other powerful people to exchange for high-level spiritual objects. Its magical use is extraordinary.”

"The most important thing is that with my fifth-level spiritual plant attainments, it will be able to produce a number of fifth-level spiritual apricots and other lower-level spiritual apricots in a few decades..."

After Ling Pengyun picked them one by one and took them, he immediately felt that his life span had increased by about a hundred years, and he was overjoyed.

After that, he became more motivated to take care of Ling Chengxin's spiritual apricot tree.

During this period, his cultivation improved at a good rate.

Moreover, as time went by, he consumed all kinds of powerful cultivation resources obtained from the core of the Shuiqing Realm, and his cultivation improved a lot. Currently, he has cultivated more than 800 sources of divine power.

There are still about four hundred Daos away from the limit of the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation.

…

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Ling Chengxin cultivated the spiritual plants to the fifth level as expected, and her ability to take care of spiritual plants was greatly improved.

Ling Pengyun arranged it to take care of the spiritual plants in Wuji Mountain, a fifth-level spiritual land in the Wuji Secret Realm of Shuiqing Realm. There were many high-level spiritual plants in that place.

In addition, the longevity apricot trees were also completely left to his care.

In this way, Ling Pengyun's task of taking care of spiritual plants became much easier. On weekdays, he only needed to take care of the spiritual plants in his family's Lingxiao Valley and Linghai Mountain, the fifth-level spiritual land in the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world.

After a short while, Ling Chengxin's longevity-enhancing spiritual apricot tree grew to the quasi-fifth-level limit with the huge amount of resources invested by the family.

After all, Ling Pengyun regards it as one of the hopes for prolonging his life, and the key to whether Ling Chengxin can steadily enter the state of spiritual transformation in the future.

Ling Pengyun valued it very much and directly gave it four different spiritual objects to help it reach the fifth level.

Although this matter is rather extravagant, those divine objects are of great help to it.

And because it has the help of the Yin-Yang Primordial Essence, its foundation is already good. As a result, its probability of breaking through to the fifth level this time is as high as 60% to 70%.

It was lucky enough to enter the fifth level and became the fourth fifth-level spiritual fruit tree of the Ling family. (End of this chapter)
