Chapter 467 Seven Islands in the Muddy Swamp (2800 words, please subscribe)

The third dividend of tens of thousands of spiritual stones is 3,000. There are more than 30 of them. If they are divided equally, each person can get about 100 spiritual stones per year.

Although 100 spiritual stones are not much, in the long run, this amount of spiritual stones can be extremely huge.

For these casual cultivators with weak foundations, it is enough to serve as an important source of spiritual stones.

As for Ling Pengyun doing this, the most important thing is to attract these casual cultivators to join the market.

Ling's family is indeed short of manpower at present. Only by attracting these casual cultivators to help maintain the order of Lingxiao Ridge can the market have business.

After all, if Lingxiao Ridge, where Lingxiao Market is located, is very chaotic, cultivators will not go to Lingxiao Ridge.

And if you want the 30 casual cultivators to help, naturally they must also benefit from it, so that they will do their best.

As for not opening the market in the muddy swamp, it is because the muddy swamp has not been developed yet.

If you have to wait until this area is developed before building the market, it will take too long, and the loss to Ling will be not small.

Instead of doing so, it would be better to build the market in the Lingxiao Ridge where the scattered cultivators gathered. Anyway, that area also borders the muddy swamp area, and will be planned as part of the territory of the muddy area in the future.

The thirty foundation-building scattered cultivators would naturally not miss such a good thing. They immediately agreed to manage the Lingxiao Ridge area.

Ling Pengyun was not surprised to see this, after all, the benefits he offered were not small.

Then, he took this group of foundation-building scattered cultivators and Ling Pengqiu out of the courtyard and began to gather the remaining more than 4,000 Qi training scattered cultivators in the mountain.

Through the family's Lingxiao flying boat at the prototype level of the magic weapon and forty second-level Yunxiao flying boats, they went back and forth to the Lingxiao Ridge area twice, and it took more than ten days to finally send all the scattered cultivators back to Lingxiao Ridge.

Ling Pengyun also took away all the more than 300 spirit beast cubs in the Lingxiao Ridge Spirit Beast Mountain, and opened up a spirit field in the Spirit Beast Mountain to plant spirit plants.

Ling Pengqiu, who was at the eighth level of foundation building, was left in Lingxiao Ridge to replace Ling Penglin to guard the place and take care of the five second-level spiritual veins of the family, Yunxiao Ridge, Spiritual Medicine Valley, Spiritual Beast Mountain, Loess Mountain, and Black Soil Mountain.

After arranging this place, Ling Pengyun took the second-level formation master Ling Penglin, Ling Chengxia, Xiao Qianfei, 31 members of the family, and the 12 casual cultivators and their relatives, and drove the Lingxiao flying boat into the muddy swamp.

They rushed to the "Lingyun Island" with the second-level upper-grade spiritual veins that Ling Pengyun had previously selected as the temporary residence of the family for the next few decades, and settled down here.

In the following days, Ling Pengyun and young clansmen such as Ling Chengxia relied on "Lingyun Island" as the center to gradually clean up the black mud in the muddy swamp, and based on these black muds, cast earth-related spells to first build artificial islands on the other six second-level upper-grade spiritual veins in the swamp deep in the swamp.

After the six artificial islands with second-grade superior spiritual veins were built, Ling Pengyun named them Spirit Medicine Island, Spirit Beast Island, Shrub Island, Earth Spirit Island, Yunyi Island, and Hongyun Island.

Most of the spiritual energy on the Spirit Medicine Island was used by Ling Pengyun to develop spiritual fields. Therefore, the number of spiritual fields on the island has reached hundreds, and the number of spiritual plants planted has reached thousands.

When Ling Pengyun was collecting spiritual veins in the muddy swamp, he found many immature spiritual plants and planted them on this island.

Spirit Beast Island is specially used to raise more than 300 monster cubs that Ling Pengyun brought from Lingxiaoling Spirit Beast Mountain, as well as the more than 600 monster cubs he found in the muddy swamp a few days ago.

The situation of Shrub Island is the same as that of Spirit Medicine Island. Most of the spiritual energy on the island was used by Ling Pengyun to develop spiritual fields. On this island, he also developed a hundred acres of spiritual fields.

However, the spiritual herbs planted in the hundred-acre spiritual field are not spiritual medicines, but the three hundred spiritual shrubs that Ling Pengyun had previously searched in the muddy swamp, as well as the small shrubs that he cultivated by cutting the branches of those spiritual shrubs through spiritual planting methods.

According to Ling Pengyun's estimation of the fast growth characteristics of shrubs, as long as the spiritual shrubs on the island grow for one year, after the next year, a thousand kilograms of spiritual shrub branches worth at least five thousand spiritual stones can be harvested every year.

The second-level superior spiritual vein on the Earth Spirit Island is a pure earth vein, which does not contain other attribute spiritual energy, so it is named "Earth Spirit Island".

The earth attribute third-level topaz spiritual tree that Ling Pengyun found on the Giant Crocodile Island was transplanted on this island.

In addition, he also opened up hundreds of acres of spiritual fields on this Earth Spirit Island, specializing in planting earth-based spiritual plants that complement the spiritual energy here.

The earth-based spiritual plants grow in this special environment with extremely rich earth attributes, which can increase the growth rate by about 10%.

The second-level high-quality spiritual veins on Yunyi Island and Hongyun Island produce most of the five-element spiritual energy, and water spiritual energy accounts for the majority.

Considering this point, Ling Pengyun used Yunyi Island as a place for himself and his Taoist partner Yan Siyi to practice Taoism.

Hongyun Island was left by Ling Pengyun to the clan leader Ling Yunhong, who also practiced the water-attributed Bihai Zhenjing and had not yet returned to the clan.

The second-level formation master Ling Penglin and an old first-level low-quality formation master named "Niu Chang" arranged formations to guard the spiritual veins of the artificial island.

Although Niu Chang is old, he is already in his eighties or nineties and has little life left.

But among his descendants, there are five people with spiritual roots. It's just a pity that none of his five descendants inherited his inheritance of formations, nor did they have the talent for other arts, and their cultivation qualifications were not strong. They were just ordinary people with four or five spiritual roots, and it was difficult for them to join the Bailing Sect.

In the future, if his five descendants do not have his help, they will become ordinary casual cultivators.

The difficulties of ordinary casual cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation are known to the old cultivator Niu Chang.

For the future of the five descendants with spiritual roots, Niu Chang had no choice but to respond to Ling's call half a year ago and wanted to rely on Ling to get a spiritual vein.

With the help of the spiritual vein, after his death, his descendants can also earn meager spiritual stones by planting spiritual plants, and go further and further on the road, so as not to risk their lives to kill monsters to survive.

The other eleven hundred artists summoned by Ling were also in this situation. That's why they responded to Ling's call to kill monsters half a year ago and a little half a month ago.

They each performed their duties. The only second-level lower-grade alchemist "Wang Yun", the second-level talisman maker "Xiahou Shan" and his two first-level middle-grade talisman maker apprentices, as well as the first-level lower-grade weapon refiner, relied on the materials from the Ling family's batch of monsters to refine spiritual objects.

The remaining six spiritual plant husbands, as well as Xiao Qianfei, a first-level lower-grade spiritual plant husband, took care of the spiritual plants planted on seven islands with second-level upper-grade spiritual veins, including Lingyun Island and Lingyao Island, deep in the muddy swamp.

...

Three days later.

Ling Chengxin, the second-level alchemist of the Ling family who had been driving a flying boat for nearly a month, and the Ling family guest "Lin Fan" who had the talent of controlling beasts, crossed a million miles and finally entered the first vast territory "Lingxiao Ridge" occupied by the Ling family in the Baiyun Mountains earlier.

However, what surprised Ling Chengxin and Lin Fan was that as they gradually went deeper into the territory of Lingxiao Ridge, the number of scattered cultivators around them increased.

They even saw many independent cultivators living on the spiritual veins that originally belonged to the Ling family.

Puzzled, Ling Chengxin took Lin Fan to a nearby spiritual vein and asked several independent cultivators living on that spiritual vein.

From those independent cultivators, Ling Chengxin and Lin Fan also learned that Ling's ancestor Ling Pengyun had killed the Jindan demon king of the swamp giant crocodile clan under Yanyang Mountain in the Qiuyangyan territory, destroyed the huge group of demon beasts in the muddy swamp that wanted to attack the Qiuyangyan territory, and thus occupied the muddy swamp territory covering an area of ​​200,000 miles.

After learning about this, Ling Chengxin was overjoyed.

Immediately, he took a long breath and sighed secretly. "The family finally doesn't have to live under someone else's roof and make a living in the Bailingmen territory."

"It is a blessing for our Ling family to have Uncle Pengyun."

Although the territory of Huaishui County belongs to the Ling family on the surface, the real owner is still the Bailingmen.

The Ling family is just a tenant, but the rent is a disguised "tribute" to Bailingmen every year.

If Bailingmen wants to take back the spiritual veins of the Ling family in Huaishui County, the Ling family will find it difficult to stop it.

Lin Fan, who had just joined the Ling family as a guest of the beast taming department, showed a trace of loss on his face.

A month ago, he followed Ling Chengxin from the Bailingmen territory to this place to support the Ling family because the Ling family that Ling Chengxin had invited to open up the muddy swamp territory could help him improve his cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building.

Now that the muddy swamp territory has been captured by the Ling family, the matter of helping with cultivation is naturally gone.

"If I could have come earlier, it would have been better. I am unlucky. I missed such a good opportunity."

Lin Fan sighed helplessly.

After a cultivator enters the foundation building, it is very slow to improve his cultivation. His cultivation aptitude is not particularly outstanding, and it can only be considered okay.

If he only relied on the few Soul Gathering Pills he received every year as a guest of the Ling family to serve as a beast tamer, it would take at least 30 to 40 years, or even 50 to 60 years, to reach the middle stage of foundation building.

Only with more and better cultivation resources could he improve his cultivation speed.
