Time gradually passes.

A few months passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the end of the year.

Bailingmen, in a luxurious loft.

Yang Siling and Wu Yan were sitting at a small table, eating spiritual food dishes cooked by the sect's spiritual chef.

During the meal, Yang Siling thought about it several times and spoke softly.

"Ms. sir, there are reports from my mother's clan that one of the Ye clan members of the Hongye Ridge family we are planning to break through and successfully build the foundation this time has succeeded. Now the Ye clan of Hongye Ridge has three foundation building monks just like my mother clan. My mother The tribe wants to ask if we can be free to help?"

When Wu Yan heard this, he frowned and replied immediately. "No, we are just chess players. It is wrong for the two of us to participate in the destruction of the Ye family. If we are in the game and make gestures to the Ye family, some people in the sect will definitely take advantage of it. , then things will be difficult to handle.”

"But...if we don't help, with the strength of my mother's clan, even if we can rely on the formation-breaking talisman given by your father to break the clan-protecting formation of the Ye clan in Hongye Ridge, it will definitely be difficult to annihilate all the Ye clan members. , there will definitely be fish that slip through the net," Yang Siling said helplessly.

"I understand, don't be anxious. I'm going to look for a way to see if I can find some people on the fringes of the sect to help. My father's cronies, like us, are not allowed to go and help in person." Wu Yan watched his wife Yang Siling. With a look of embarrassment on his face, he reached out to use chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat from among the many spiritual food dishes on the table, put it into Yang Siling's bowl, and said comforting words.

"Thank you, sir." Upon hearing this, Yang Siling's sorrow immediately disappeared and a touch of joy appeared on her face.

Wu Yan said with a smile. "What are you talking about between husband and wife? Let's eat more spiritual food at noon today. These things are all found by my father from within the sect's territory with great difficulty. They are very good for the pregnancy."

Yang Siling's cheeks turned slightly red and she nodded lightly.

…

A few days later.

In the large courtyard next to Yunshui Mansion in Yunshuifang City, where Lin Lan lives, a distinguished guest came today.

This distinguished guest is Zhang Yan, one of the elders of the Bailingmen Deacon Hall. This person has reached the ninth level of foundation building and is about to reach perfection.

Although he is not one of the Bailing Sect's highly respected practitioners of various arts, he is a rare physical practitioner with extremely strong combat power, and has been appointed by the sect to succeed as the deputy head of the Deacon Hall.

Nowadays, there are two deputy hall masters in the Bailingmen Deacon Hall. One of the deputy hall masters is very old and does not have much life left. He will exhaust his life span and die in less than ten years.

This also makes Zhang Yan, the confirmed deputy head of the Deacon Hall, quite prestigious within the Bailingmen, and even now he is gradually taking over the high-level affairs of the Deacon Hall.

Lin Lan, the mayor of Yunshuifang City, saw the arrival of these distinguished guests and quickly greeted them and said hello.

"Elder Zhang, may I ask why you came here this time to find a disciple?"

"There is indeed something, but before talking about it, I should first congratulate Junior Brother Lin for breaking through to the late stage of foundation building. However, I have recently heard some gossip in the sect, saying that in the past year, more than ten people have appeared around Yunshuifang City. All the evil cultivators were killed by you, I wonder if this is the case?" Zhang Yan said meaningfully.

When Lin Lan heard this, his expression trembled, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he recovered quickly.

"Tell Elder Zhang that those monks are indeed evil cultivators."

Zhang Yan was slightly aware of the look on Lin Lan's face, and was immediately sure in his heart that the dozen or so casual cultivators Lin Lan had killed in the past year were probably not evil cultivators, but were trying to make money.

"I understand, Junior Brother Lin doesn't need to explain, but you can't do this kind of thing too much. Now that you have entered the late stage of foundation building by killing those ten evil cultivators, let's stop here. Otherwise, if it really causes trouble for the sect, Pay attention, you will be in trouble." Zhang Yan said coldly.

Lin Lan felt a chill down his back when he heard this.

From Zhang Yan's words, he also knew that Zhang Yan might have seen that he intercepted and killed casual cultivators to plunder spiritual objects.

"Thank you, Elder Zhang, for your kindness."

Zhang Yan was unmoved, but the expression on his face became even colder, and there was a sense of murderous intent in his body, and he said coldly.

"In addition, I also heard that in recent days you have had many contacts with Junior Brother Wu's Taoist couple, Junior Sister Yang's tribe, and Ling Xiaohua and his wife. Tell me what the purpose of your actions is. This is what Junior Brother Wu ordered me to ask."

"Elder Zhang, I have absolutely no intention of murdering Junior Sister Yang's relatives. I just want to rely on those Yang family members and Ling Xiaohua and his wife to establish a relationship with Junior Brother Wu Yan so that I can be promoted to the elder of the Deacon Hall." Lin. When Lan saw this, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly explained.

"It would be best if that were the case."

"Junior Brother Wu has something you need to do right now. If you are willing to do it, ten years from now, when I take over as the deputy head of the Deacon Hall, you will be able to fill my vacant elder position in the Deacon Hall."

Lin Lan suddenly felt happy. The position of elder belonged to a relatively top figure in the middle level of the sect. He was very comfortable on weekdays, especially in a good place like the Deacon Hall.

Once he serves as the elder of this hall, he can sit in the deacon hall in the future and arrange the work of many foundation-building deacons in the sect.

Earn a lot of spiritual stones just sitting there.

"Of course I am willing. Elder Zhang please speak." Lin Lan said happily.

"What Junior Brother Wu needs you to do is to leave Yunshuifang City immediately, go to the Ye Clan in Hongye Ridge, and work with the people of the Pingyun Yang Clan to destroy the Ye Clan. I will tell you this. If you agree, everyone will be happy. If you don't agree, you must know the consequences." Zhang Yan said.

Lin Lan was suddenly shocked. He had been in Yunshuifang City for many years and was very familiar with the Ye family of Hongye Ridge.

The Red Leaf Ridge Ye Clan is the second largest foundation-building family in Yunshui County in terms of comprehensive strength, only below the Pingyun Yang Clan.

Lin Lan dared not even think about destroying such an old foundation-building family.

Moreover, the sect has clearly stipulated that there should not be too much fighting between the affiliated family forces within the territory, let alone the destruction of a clan.

"Since Junior Brother Wu Yan sent Elder Zhang to ask me for help, Junior Brother Wu Yan must be responsible for the destruction of the Red Leaf Ridge Ye Clan by the Pingyun Yang Clan this time. This may be an opportunity for me." Lin Lan thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Lan's expression suddenly became firm.

"Elder Zhang, I will do this."

"Well, I have put on a phantom mask to replace you in the Yunshui Small Meeting this time, and you will immediately lurk into the Yang Clan's territory, meet up with the Yang Clan's people, and wait for the destruction battle." Zhang Yan arranged.

Lin Lan had no objection to this arrangement. After nodding his head, he chatted with Zhang Yan for a few words, and then arranged Zhang Yan to stay in a quiet room in the courtyard.

As night fell, Lin Lan also took advantage of the night to sneak out of Yunshui Market.

...

After a few days, it was January 3 of the following year.

This day was the last day of the three-yearly Yunshui Market.

It was also the climax of the three-day Yunshui Market. Once it was night, it would be the moment when the Yunshui Auction was held.

This time, the Yunshui Market released a promotional picture to attract visitors. There were many spiritual objects written on it. There were even three rare foundation-building pills, three bottles of the second-class foundation-building spiritual object Bailing Water, and countless other spiritual objects.

It can be said that this Yunshui Market was the most grand moment held in the last ten Yunshui Markets.

Many vigilant cultivators were very surprised by this victory. After all, Yunshui Market was deep in the interior, and there were very few people in the market on weekdays.

There is absolutely no need for Bailingmen to place three foundation-building pills at the Yunshui Fair. Usually, at the Yunshui Fair held once every three years, it would be good enough to have a few bottles of second-rate foundation-building spiritual objects, Bailingshui.

In response to this, Lin Lan, the master of the Yunshui Market, explained that there were too few foundation-building cultivators in the territory of Bailingmen, and it was necessary to increase the number of foundation-building cultivators in the territory, especially among the independent cultivators or some weak Qi training families.

The birth of foundation-building cultivators among independent cultivators and Qi training families can also help Bailingmen alleviate the problem of too large a territory and insufficient manpower.

This explanation is well-founded, and everyone's doubts have been answered.

At the same time, this explanation has greatly promoted the desire of some independent cultivators and Qi training families with small capital in the three states controlled by Bailingmen to buy foundation-building spiritual objects at this Yunshui Fair auction.

The grand Yunshui Fair also made the Yunshui Market, which is usually sparsely populated, bustling with people recently.

Especially on the third day of the Yunshui Auction, the flow of people reached an extreme.

Ling Pengyun, who had heard about the Yunshui Auction from his parents during the Spring Festival last year, also left Lingyun Mountain on this day and came to the Yunshui Market.

After entering the market, he found his parents.

In Lingxiao Grocery Store.

"Dad, Mom, are there any good spiritual objects in this auction?" Ling Pengyun asked his parents.

"Of course there are, and there are quite a few. The auction of this Yunshui Auction is particularly grand. This is the promotional picture of the spiritual objects that will be auctioned at the auction tonight." Ling Xiaohua replied with a smile, and summoned a three-page large drawing from the storage bag and handed it to Ling Pengyun.

When Ling Pengyun heard what his father said, he was immediately curious about where this "particularly grand" came from.

He took the drawing and kept scanning the promotional picture in his hand, looking at the content on the promotional picture.

This time, Ling Pengyun was a little surprised.

There were hundreds of spiritual objects on the auction promotional poster, and there were six foundation-building spiritual objects.

"There are so many spiritual objects in this Yunshui auction, and there are also foundation-building pills. This scale of auction is probably not much different from the Huaishui auction I attended." Ling Pengyun exclaimed, but felt strange and asked.

"Dad, why are there so many spiritual objects in this auction?"

"Senior Lin, the owner of the market, said that Bailingmen wanted to help the family cultivators and independent cultivators in the land to produce more foundation-building cultivators. However, it is good that Yunshui Market holds such a grand auction. The business of this grocery store has been much better in the past two days because of the auction." Ling Xiaohua shook his head, and a touch of joy appeared on his face.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun chatted with his father Ling Xiaohua for a few more words.

Later, because there were coveted items at the auction and Ling Pengyun didn't have many spirit stones, he gave all the magic tools he had recently refined to his father Ling Xiaohua in exchange for a large amount of spirit stones.

Every year, Ling Yunqian also left a thousand spirit stones in this grocery store, specifically for Ling Pengyun to hand in as the reward for refining magic tools.
