Chapter 180 Ling Xin's Spiritual Roots (3200 words, please subscribe)

Late at night.

Ling Yunhong, the head of the Ling clan, summoned the great elder Ling Ruxian, the fifth elder Ling Yunxi, and the sixth elder Ling Yunqian, who were in the clan mountain, to the meeting room.

When everyone was present, Ling Ruxian informed Ling Yunhong of some minor matters in the clan during the two years that Ling Yunhong had been away from the clan mountain.

"Yun Hong, the Xuanshui mine in the Qingshi Lake in Qingshi Village was also dug out at the beginning of last year, but the first-level middle and upper-grade Xuanshui iron that was dug out has not been consumed. There are still thousands of kilograms of Xuanshui iron left in the clan library, waiting to be refined into magic tools."

"The 50,000 kilograms of ore in the Xuanshui mine that belonged to Bailingmen were also given away at the end of last year, and the agreement with Bailingmen was also settled."

"However, although the Xuanshui iron in the Xuanshui mine was dug out, the water spirit energy at the site of the mine is still extremely rich."

"To prevent the loss of these water spirit energies, I asked Yun Xi to set up a first-level middle-grade water spirit gathering formation at the site of the mine. Relying on this formation, within a few years, the site of the mine site is estimated to be able to condense rich water spirit energy, and then a miniature spirit vein will be born."

"And Your thirteenth uncle opened up a small lake covering dozens of acres at the site, and raised the group of blue moon spirit fish that Peng Yun and Peng Lin discovered in their early years. "

"In addition, in the two years since you left, the clan has found five children with spiritual roots in the clan mountain and various villages and towns, but the spiritual roots of these five children are not good, only four or five spiritual roots."

"This year, the clan has found more children with spiritual roots, as many as four, but these four have not used the spirit array to test the exact spiritual roots."

"Including these four people, there are now ninety-three people in the clan with spiritual roots."

"Among them, there are eight who have not yet entered the Qi training realm."

"There are forty-eight in the early stage of Qi training."

"There are..."

"..."

Ling Ruxian spoke very carefully, explaining all aspects, and spoke for a long time.

"It's a good thing that the family can continue to develop in such a good direction. Uncle Eleven, Sister Fifteen, and Brother Eighteen, thank you for your hard work." After hearing this, Ling Yunhong said to Ling Ruxian and the other two in the meeting room.

Although he was the only foundation-building cultivator in the Ling family, he rarely managed the affairs of the family. He usually spent most of his time practicing and comprehending alchemy.

Family affairs were mostly managed by the six elders of the family.

"They are just some chores, so you don't need to spend much time. Besides, doing things for the family is the responsibility of us elders, so it's not hard work." Ling Ruxian replied simply, and then looked at Ling Yunhong with a serious expression and asked.

"Yunhong, have you made any progress in alchemy in the past two years?"

The fifth elder Ling Yunxi and the sixth elder Ling Yunqian in the meeting room heard the words, and their expressions were the same as Ling Ruxian's, and they all looked at Ling Yunhong.

Ling Yunhong is an important turning point in the family's transformation from a spiritual plant family to an alchemy family. If Ling Yunhong can become a second-level alchemist, he can support the Ling family's alchemy.

"There has been a small improvement. The success rate of refining the ordinary first-level upper-grade cultivation elixir Qingling Dan on the market has reached 70%, and the first-level upper-grade healing medicines Baiyu Dan and Huiqi Dan have also reached 50%."

"As for the success rate of the second-level lower-grade Juling Dan that I tried to refine, relying on the family's 100 Juling Dan spiritual materials, it has improved a lot compared to two years ago, reaching 30%."

Ling Yunhong raised a smile on his face and said with a little complacency.

As soon as these words came out, Ling Ruxian, Ling Yunxi, and Ling Yunqian suddenly showed excitement on their faces.

The success rate of refining the second-level lower-grade Juling Dan is 30%, which is enough to earn spirit stones by refining this pill.

More importantly, Ling Yunhong has only been in the alchemy industry for ten years.

With such achievements in ten years, Ling Ruxian and the other two can guess without much guessing that Ling Yunhong will definitely achieve great success in alchemy in the future, at least not weaker than his spiritual plant, and it is completely certain that he will become a second-level alchemist who can refine a variety of second-level elixirs.

"Yunhong, with you supporting the alchemy of the family in the future, we will definitely be able to smoothly transform into an alchemy family." Ling Ruxian said happily.

"Eleventh uncle, you are talking too much. If you want to support the alchemy, you need the help of other alchemists in the family." Ling Yunhong smiled slightly and answered modestly, thinking of something, and then asked.

"How is Xiaojiang, who is being cultivated in the alchemy field in the clan, doing now?"

"Xiaojiang is the only son of Yunhui, the only alchemist in the clan. He has been exposed to alchemy since he was a child under the influence of Yunhui and has a good foundation in alchemy. In addition to the support of the clan in various alchemy materials in the past seven or eight years, he has also learned alchemy from Yunhui. He can now refine several first-level low-grade elixirs, and the success rate has reached more than 30%, so he can be called a first-level low-grade alchemist." Ling Ruxian said with a smile.

"This is a good thing. In a few years, when the clan's economy relies on refining tools, alchemy, and jade series spiritual rice, more resources will be allocated to cultivate those clan members with alchemy talent in the clan." Ling Yunhong said.

"I already know the situation in the clan. Has anything major happened in Huaishui County or even the entire Bailingmen territory?"

Ling Ruxian thought about it carefully and replied. "Except for the destruction of Hongye Ridge that you participated in, there is nothing major happening in the Bailingmen territory."

"In fact, Luo Minghui, the patriarch of the Luoxia Luo Clan, one of the five major families in Huaishui County, and his Taoist partner Li Xia's only son Luo Qiuming, entered the foundation-building stage a year ago."

Hearing this, Ling Yunhong's smile widened a little.

"Now the five major foundation-building clans in Huaishui County are all peaceful and developing in their own territories, but after dozens or hundreds of years, when each clan grows and consolidates its own power, there will inevitably be some minor frictions."

"Then Liu Changming, the head of the Huxiao Liu clan, who is adjacent to the territory of Luoxia Luo clan, will have a headache."

"In the future, there will be a lot of dog-bite-dog dramas."

Ling Ruxian on the side agreed. "That's good. Fortunately, the two families of Qingzhu Wang clan and Yunwu Wen clan, which are adjacent to our Ling clan's territory, are well-behaved, otherwise we would also have a headache."

Afterwards, everyone chatted about some other things, and then ended this council.

...

Three days later.

This year, the four children who were found to have spiritual roots by the Ling clan cultivators from the villages and towns under their command and the clan mountains with the spirit stone were all summoned by the Ling clan's great elder Ling Ruxian to the ancestral temple halfway up Lingxiao Mountain.

After the four children arrived, Ling Ruxian opened the gate of the ancestral temple and let the four children enter one by one. The fifth elder Ling Yunxi, who was a formation master, opened the second-level lower-grade spirit-testing formation in the ancestral temple to accurately test the attributes of the spirit roots of the four children with spiritual roots.

The spirit-testing stone can only test whether the human race has spiritual roots. If you want to know the exact attributes of the spiritual roots, you need to use the spirit-testing formation.

After a while, three children entered the ancestral temple one by one and tested their spiritual roots with the help of the spirit-testing formation.

Soon, it was Ling Pengyun's turn to find the little Ling Xin who had spiritual roots from the Yunshui town to enter the ancestral temple to test the exact spiritual roots.

Inside the ancestral temple.

As soon as Ling Xin entered the ancestral temple, he walked into a white circle about ten feet long under the guidance of the fifth elder Ling Yunxi.

The white circle was full of formation patterns.

In the center of the white circle, there are five one-foot-long white jade pillars standing in five different directions.

"The formation begins."

Seeing Ling Xin step into the formation, Ling Yunxi pinched his hands to condense a seal and hit it into the spirit gathering array plate suspended in front of him.

In an instant, the spirit detection formation was activated.

Array patterns emerged from the ground and passed through Ling Xin's body.

In just three breaths, the bottom of three of the five white jade pillars in the center of the formation suddenly burst out with bright red, turquoise, and khaki spiritual light.

The spiritual light gushing out from these three white jade pillars was of different lengths.

"Nine inches of fire spirit, nine inches of wood spirit, two inches of earth spirit, three spiritual roots of fire, wood and earth."

"Looking at the intensity of the spiritual light flashing on the two white jade pillars of fire and wood, if this child practices the method of burning wood to complement fire, he will definitely achieve something in controlling fire."

"This kind of spiritual root equipment is very suitable for alchemy or refining equipment."

"Afterwards, I need to talk to Uncle Eleven about this matter."

Ling Yunxi looked at the three white jade pillars flashing with spiritual light in the spirit detection array, two bright lights flashed in his eyes, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself.

...

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a huge spiritual power fluctuation suddenly rose on the top of Lingxiao Mountain.

The top of the mountain was like a vortex, madly absorbing the spiritual energy in the mountain.

This abnormal movement attracted the attention of all the tribesmen in Lingxiao Mountain.

In a quiet room in a courtyard halfway up Lingxiao Mountain.

Ling Pengyun, who was cultivating to purify his spiritual energy, was also startled by the strange things on the top of the mountain.

He opened his eyes, felt the strange movement on the top of the mountain, thought for a while, and guessed in his heart.

"This kind of spiritual energy fluctuation is a bit strange."

"Even if the foundation-building cultivators absorb spiritual energy to cultivate in normal times, it is not so huge."

"Nine out of ten, it is the third ancestor, or the fairy crane king who is breaking through the cultivation level, or there are clan members who are trying to break through the foundation-building realm, which causes the spiritual energy to flow into the body."

"If there are clan members who are trying to break through the foundation-building realm, the most likely one should be the third brother."

Ling Pengyun guessed that if someone was building a foundation, it was the third brother Ling Pengxing. It was also very simple. There are very few people in the Ling family who have reached the late stage of Qi training under the age of 60, and no one has reached the perfection of Qi training.

The closest to the perfection of Qi training is the ninth level of Qi training, which is only himself and Ling Pengxing.

Under such circumstances, Ling Pengyun guessed so.

Because there are too many possibilities to cause the fluctuation of spiritual energy in the mountain, and Ling Pengyun has been practicing hard for the past two years and rarely leaves the courtyard, he has not heard that Ling Pengxing is trying to break through the foundation building, so his thoughts are fruitless.

At the beginning, the reason why the Ling family knew about the breakthrough of the Immortal Crane King to the foundation building as soon as he attracted the spiritual energy in the mountain.

The main reason is that when the Immortal Crane King broke through the foundation building, the location where the spiritual energy was attracted was the Lingxiao Back Mountain where only the Immortal Cranes lived.

In addition, at that time, the clan had been saying that Ling Yunhong exchanged a portion of Bailing Water for the Immortal Crane King from Bailingmen to assist the Immortal Crane King in building the foundation.

Under such circumstances, the people of the Ling family guessed that the Immortal Crane King had built the foundation when they noticed the fluctuation of spiritual energy caused by the breakthrough of the Immortal Crane King in the back mountain.

Ling Pengyun closed his eyes again as he regained his thoughts. He used his skills to refine the spiritual energy in the flesh of a first-grade medium-quality spiritual fruit that he had swallowed several hours ago, and to purify the spiritual power in his dantian.

His cultivation did not rely on the spiritual energy in the mountain, so the fact that the spiritual energy in the mountain was completely absorbed by the mountain top did not have much impact on him.
