Chapter 434 Meeting with Master Bai Ling (4200 words, please subscribe)

Ling Pengyun saw that his early friends were now doing well, and he felt happy for them.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a few more words, and Ling Pengyun returned to the topic and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I wonder if there are any idle shops in Wuyuanfang City now?"

"I, Mr. Ling, plan to open a few shops in this city."

Zhang Yan said with a smile. "The ancestor of the spirit talisman has already sent a message to me to inform me of this matter. In the past six months, I have obtained three idle shops in Wuyuanfang City."

"These three idle shops are all in the core area of ​​Fang City. As long as the spiritual objects placed by the nobles in those three shops are not bad, with the flow of people in Wuyuanfang City, the business will not be bad."

After hearing this, Ling Pengyun felt a little more favorable toward the Spirit Talisman Ancestor. "This action of the Spiritual Talisman Ancestor saved me a lot of trouble."

Then, he also asked. "What are the selling prices of those three stores?"

The ancestor of Lingfu could send someone to help him find a store, and naturally he would need to produce spirit stones to buy the store. He still understood this.

"Nowadays, one store in the core area of ​​Wuyuanfang City is worth 5,000 spirit stones, and three stores are worth 15,000 spirit stones in total." Zhang Yan said.

Although the price of the shops in the core area of ​​​​Fangshi is 5,000, if you spend 5,000 spiritual stones, no one will sell it.

After all, there is a lot of traffic in Wuyuanfang City, and the store located in the core area is enough to be called a golden mountain.

Under such circumstances, Ling Pengyun naturally would not find the store expensive.

Naturally, the more stores in this location, the better.

Immediately, Ling Pengyun waved fifteen thousand spiritual stones from the storage bag on the ground.

"Fellow Taoist, please check the number."

This batch of spiritual stones was taken by Ling Pengyun from the family and specially prepared for the purchase of a store.

"I can trust Daoist fellow Daoist Ling." Zhang Yan put the batch of spirit stones directly into the storage bag, said with a smile, took out three land deeds from the storage bag, and handed them to Ling Pengyun.

"Fellow Taoist, this is the title deed of those three shops."

After Ling Pengyun reached out to take the three land deeds, he also put them away.

After meal.

After Ling Pengyun asked Zhang Yan where the three shops were, he took everyone in the Ling family, said goodbye to Zhang Yan, and left the restaurant.

The three stores Zhang Yan was looking for were located in different locations in the core area of ​​Fang City.

However, the three stores are not far from each other.

After all, "Wuyuan Street", the core area of ​​Wuyuanfang City, is only that big.

In addition, these three shops all have a large courtyard attached.

It can be said that this shop where you can open a shop to sell things and live in it is the best.

Within the city, most of the shops in Wuyuanfang City, where land is extremely valuable, do not have small courtyards attached.

Ling Pengyun was extremely satisfied with this.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun discussed with fellow Taoists Yan Siyi, Ling Penglin, Ling Pengqiu and others what to do with the three newly acquired shops.

In the end, everyone planned to turn the shop with the largest space into a restaurant for business operations. The restaurant was named "Lingxiao Restaurant".

The other two shops were temporarily converted into inns to operate and earn some spiritual stones. The two inns were named "Lingxiao Inn" and "Lingyun Inn" respectively.

After the Ling family stabilizes in the Baiyun Mountains and has more sources of spiritual objects, they will turn these two inns into shop operations again.

Nowadays, the Ling family does not have many practitioners of various arts. The spiritual objects produced and the spiritual fruits of the family can be digested with the help of the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce.

There is absolutely no need to transport spiritual objects such as spiritual objects or spiritual fruits refined by those in the family over long distances to be sold here. This will only be in vain.

As for the pricing of spiritual food at Lingxiao Restaurant and the pricing of the two inns, everyone also made arrangements based on the pricing of similar stores in Wuxingfang City.

Subsequently, manpower was arranged to guard these three stores.

Therefore, among the clan members accompanying Ling Pengyun this time, only his parents, Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun, had experience in running a shop.

Ling Pengyun had no choice but to ask his parents, who were already quite old, to come out and serve as stewards of Lingxiao Restaurant, Lingxiao Inn, and Lingyun Inn.

Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun were both bored, so they were very happy to hear that they could return to their old jobs as shop stewards, and they both agreed.

"Since my parents have agreed to manage these three shops, there is also Uncle Ling Xiao, a first-level top-level chef in the restaurant, who is in charge of the back kitchen. Now these three shops are only short of a few boys."

"Madam needs to retreat within Fangshi. I have other arrangements for Pengqiu, Penglin, and the thirty-one members of the Wanzi generation."

"Under such circumstances, we now have no one available, so the lack of servants in these three shops can be replaced by the casual cultivators recruited from Lingshi."

"Mom and Dad, you and I need to take care of those little boys on weekdays. If there are any sneaky people, we will not hire them. If they do well, it doesn't hurt to give them some more spiritual stones every month."

"In addition, it is best to recruit young monks who are single monks. In this way, in the future, we can also order mandarin ducks for those who do not have Taoist companions in the clan."

Ling Pengyun said with a smile.

After everyone heard this, they all agreed with the proposal of recruiting single Sanjuan nuns.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a few more words, and the meeting ended.

Under Ling Pengyun's arrangement, everyone scattered in the backyards of the three shops to rest for a day.

The next day.

Ling Pengyun said goodbye to his parents, his Taoist partner, and Ling Xiaoyan, and asked Zhang Yan, who was stationed in Wuyuanfang City, to take care of the three shops of the Ling family.

He took his only son Ling Chengxia, Ling Penglin, Ling Pengqiu, and the 31 Wanzi generation clan members, and drove the Fengyun flying boat to the territory of Tayunling that Bailingmen was attacking now.

Tayunling is in the south of Wuyuanfang City, more than ten miles away from Wuyuanfang City.

Because the monsters in the territory around Wuyuanfang City were all cleared, Ling Pengyun and others did not encounter any monsters on the way.

One day later, when Ling Pengyun was about to enter the territory of Tayunling when driving the Fengyun flying boat, he happened to run into a patrol team composed of five Bailingmen foundation-building monks.

The task of this patrol team was to patrol the remaining monster tribes around Tayunling to prevent those monsters from helping Tayun Leibao to resist the encirclement and suppression of Bailingmen.

After Ling Pengyun revealed his identity, the five patrolling Bailingmen monks personally led Ling Pengyun and his party to go deep into the territory of Tayunling Mountain for nearly 100,000 miles.

Finally, they came to a mountain that stretched for dozens of miles, with tens of thousands of palaces and houses, and was covered by a huge yellow light curtain.

"Is this the base of your Bailingmen in Tayunling Mountain?"

Ling Pengyun asked the five patrolling monks of Bailingmen who were on the Fengyun flying boat.

"Yes, this mountain range was originally occupied by the strongest foundation-building monster tribe under the Treading Cloud Thunder Leopard Clan, the Stone Rock Bear Clan."

"A year ago, the Stone Rock Bear Clan in this Stone Rock Ridge was destroyed by our sect."

"Our sect master, Bai Ling, has observed that there are more than 20 first-level spiritual veins and three second-level spiritual veins in this mountain range, including one second-level top-grade spiritual vein."

"In addition, 50,000 to 60,000 miles to the south of here is the Treading Cloud Forest, the home of the Treading Cloud Thunder Leopard Clan, the overlord of Treading Cloud Ridge."

"The sect master ordered our sect cultivators to settle down in this Stone Rock Ridge, using this mountain as a base. Every month, they would launch an attack on the Treading Cloud Thunder Leopard Clan in Treading Cloud Forest to reduce the number of Treading Cloud Thunder Leopard Clan monsters."

Among the five people, an old cultivator with the highest cultivation level, who had reached the late stage of foundation building, told Ling Pengyun a lot about Stone Rock Ridge with a slightly flattering intention.

Ling Pengyun saw the expression of the old cultivator, his expression slightly changed, and he continued to ask.

"Then I wonder how many cultivators are there in this mountain range of your sect?"

The old cultivator continued to answer Ling Pengyun in detail. "According to the statistics of the sect, there are tens of thousands of cultivators in the Shiyan Mountain Range, of which only one tenth are cultivators of our sect, and the remaining nine tenths are all independent cultivators."

'The nine tenths of independent cultivators all came here because of the huge benefits offered by my Bailing Sect. ’

“However, among these 90% of independent cultivators, most are Qi-training cultivators, and their cultivation levels are also uneven, and there are only dozens of foundation-building independent cultivators.”

“On the other hand, although there are only a thousand cultivators in my Bailing Sect, the number is not as many as those independent cultivators, but among the thousands of cultivators in this mountain range, there are at least a hundred foundation-building cultivators, and the remaining 900 Qi-training cultivators have all reached the middle stage of Qi training or above.”

Ling Pengyun, who had experienced two monster rebellions and one Bailing Sect’s occupation of Jiaomang Lake, and had seen even bigger scenes than this, did not care too much.

However, the fledgling Ling Chengxia, Xiao Qianfei, and the other 31 young clansmen of the Wanzi generation on the Fengyun Flying Boat all took a breath of cold air.

You know, there are only more than 200 members of the Ling family alive now.

Now the number of cultivators in Shiyan Ridge is as much as 50 times that of the Ling family.

Under the huge gap in the number of cultivators, the young and energetic Ling Chengxia and others gradually realized the danger of the trip to Baiyun Mountains.

…

It was at this time.

Deep in the Shiyan Ridge, in a luxurious palace quiet room.

A middle-aged cultivator with a strong aura of the late Jindan, a little fat, but very white skin, opened his eyes as if sensing something.

“Strange Jindan aura.”

A golden light appeared in his eyes, and he looked in one direction, as if he could see through everything.

"The Jindan of Ling Xiao Ling family finally arrived."

"If this person can really help our sect and kill the black wind wolf demon that helped the Tayun Leibao clan, my disciple Bao Yuan and I will definitely be able to kill the two Jindan Leibao in the Tayun Leibao clan."

"By then, the Leiyuan Lingtan of the Tayun Leibao clan, which can produce Jindan spiritual objects, will also become the property of our sect."

"In this way, our sect will have two sources of Jindan spiritual objects, and our sect will prosper in the future."

Thinking of this, the fat middle-aged cultivator's face was full of expectations.

Then, the golden light in his eyes dissipated, and he turned into a breeze and disappeared.

When he appeared again, he had crossed more than ten miles, left Shiyanling, and came to the Fengyun flying boat driven by Ling Pengyun.

There was also a cultivator standing next to him.

This cultivator was Bai Yuan Zhenren.

"Master!"

"Master Bai Yuan!"

The five Bai Ling Sect foundation-building monks on the Fengyun flying boat who were patrolling the area around the Tayun Ridge were shocked to see the fat middle-aged monk and Master Bai Yuan appear here, and they bowed their hands in greeting.

Ling Pengyun, who had seen the portrait of Master Bai Ling, the master of Bai Ling Sect, recognized the identity of the fat monk in front of him at a glance.

He glanced at the somewhat fat Bai Ling Patriarch, and when he felt that the aura emanating from the Bai Ling Patriarch was several times stronger than his own, his eyes trembled slightly.

"Although the aura emitted by this person is not as strong as Master Bishui's, it is not much weaker."

"I'm afraid, this person's cultivation level is not far from the eighth level of the Golden Core."

After being distracted for a moment, he raised a smile on his face and faced Master Bailing and Qi Dao.

"I have heard for a long time that Senior Bai Ling has a high level of cultivation. When I saw him today, the rumors are not false."

Afterwards, he saluted and said hello to Master Baiyuan.

Seeing Ling Pengyun's title, the somewhat fat Patriarch Bailing was quite satisfied, and he also said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Ling is serious. I have just entered the late stage of the Golden Elixir not long ago, so I cannot say that my cultivation is advanced. However, I am a little friend, who is not more than seventy years old and has entered the realm of the Golden Elixir. I am truly an extraordinary person."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before my fellow Taoist's cultivation will catch up with mine."

Ling Pengyun didn't care about these words and smiled. "Senior, please don't try to hurt this junior. I am lucky to be able to enter the golden elixir."

"It's still a long way to catch up with you, senior."

"Perhaps by the time I reach your level, senior, I will have escaped into the realm of Nascent Soul and become the True Lord of Nascent Soul who enjoys a thousand years of life."

These words were quite beneficial to Patriarch Bai Ling, and the smile on his face couldn't help but grow a little more.

he asked with a smile. "Alright fellow Taoist, let's stop flattering each other and let's talk about business."

"Fellow Taoist can keep his word and come to the Shiyan Ridge occupied by our sect this time. I think that fellow Taoist has never wanted to change the fact that you and I have agreed to destroy the Cloud-Stepping Thunder Leopard clan."

"I don't know when you plan to help my Bailing Sect invade the Cloud-Taking Forest where the Cloud-Taking Thunder Leopard Clan is, and help our sect block the Golden Core Three-layer Black Wind Wolf Monster invited by the Cloud-Taking Thunder Leopard Clan. ”

Ling Pengyun said. "It all depends on the arrangements of the seniors. However, the more than thirty members of my clan are still weak in cultivation. During the battle, they need to stay in this rock ridge."

Seeing that Ling Pengyun was so easy to talk to, Master Bailing immediately agreed to Ling Pengyun's request. "It's easy to talk about."

Ling Pengyun thanked him. "In this way, the junior will thank the senior."

Ancestor Baiyuan suggested. "It's okay, fellow Taoist, you've traveled a long way to get here. I'm sure you're tired too. I'll take a day's rest first, and then we'll set off to attack Cloud-Stepping Thunder Leopard's realm in the early morning tomorrow. What do you think?"

"Okay!" After Ling Pengyun responded, he looked at the Shiyan Ridge behind Ancestor Bai Ling, frowned slightly, and asked.

"Senior Bai Ling, I'm asking something that I shouldn't ask. I wonder where the Taoist fellow Baoyuan who came with you to open up territory in the Baiyun Mountains from Guizong is now?"

Master Bailing explained. "My Baoyuan disciple is currently monitoring the movements of the two golden elixir demon kings and the golden elixir stage black wind wolf demon near the Taoyun Forest where the Taoyun Leibao clan lives."

"My disciple Bao Yuan will also join the battle tomorrow, so please rest assured, fellow Taoist."

Ling Pengyun nodded lightly, and then he sat down on Fengyun Feizhou and followed Master Bai Ling to slowly fly into the Shiyan Ridge protected by a huge light curtain.

As for the five Bailingmen patrol monks previously led by Ling Pengyun, they have already left.

Master Bai Ling also took Ling's group seriously, and deliberately cleared away all the monks on a second-order spiritual vein in Shiyanling, and placed Ling Pengyun and his group on that second-order spiritual vein.

This is enough to give Ling family face.

Ling Pengyun was quite satisfied with this move. After thanking Ancestor Bai Ling a few times, he stopped the Ling monks from using magic to build a residence on this spiritual vein.
