Chapter 918: Parents grow old and time flies (10,000 words updated)

According to Ling Chengyuan, Ling Renyang, who has the strongest talent in the art of talismans and is the youngest, has gained the most in the past nine years.

Nine years ago, Ling Renyang's talisman level was only at the first-level middle-grade realm, but now, he can barely draw a quasi-second-level spiritual talisman, with a success rate of 20%.

If Ling Renyang is given a few more years, he will surely become a quasi-second-level talisman maker.

And because he has three spiritual roots, his qualifications are not bad. With the family's full efforts to cultivate him, he has now been promoted from the middle stage of Qi training to the eighth level of Qi training.

Ling Licui, the only female talisman maker among the three talisman makers, whose talisman qualifications are similar to Ling Renyang, has also made great progress.

She is one generation older than Ling Renyang, belonging to the Li generation among "Yun, Xiao, Peng, Cheng, Wan, Li, Ren", so she is also older. Nine years ago, she was 61 years old, and her cultivation level was also high, reaching the initial stage of foundation building, and her talisman making level was the second-level lower grade.

Nine years have passed, although her talisman making level has not entered the second-level middle-grade realm, but according to Ling Licui's reply, within five years, her talisman making level will definitely enter the second-level middle-grade realm, becoming a second-level middle-grade talisman maker, and at least mastering the drawing of three second-level middle-grade spiritual talismans, and the probability of success in drawing will not be less than 30%.

However, this person's aptitude is not as good as Ling Renyang, only the aptitude of four spiritual roots, so far, her cultivation level is only at the second level of foundation building.

It is precisely for this reason that Ling Chengyuan and other family leaders speculate that Ling Licui will inevitably be dragged down by cultivation in the future, and her talisman path will basically stop at the second level, at most the level of a quasi-third-level talisman maker.

The last talent for making talismans was Ling's son-in-law "Wang Quan". Although his talent was not comparable to Ling Renyang and Ling Licui, he was not weak either, at least better than the other Ling's talisman makers.

In addition, he was a cultivator with three spiritual roots like Ling Renyang, and strictly speaking, his cultivation talent was slightly stronger than Ling Renyang.

Nine years ago, he was nearly a hundred years old, the oldest among the three talisman makers.

At that time, his cultivation had reached the middle stage of foundation building, and his talisman cultivation had advanced one step and entered the realm of the second-grade upper grade in advance.

During the nine years he stayed with the ancestor of the spiritual talisman, although the talisman grade was not improved and was still the second-grade upper grade, his attainments in the talisman had improved a lot.

His success rate in refining several kinds of spiritual talismans has reached 40%, and the success rate in refining one of the spiritual talismans he is best at has reached 50%.

At the same time, this person is also the most valued talent for making talismans by Ling Pengyun and others, except for Ling Renyang, the talent for making talismans.

Ling Licui is one step behind the two because of her talent for cultivation.

It is also worth mentioning that Ling Renyang, the talent for making talismans in the Qi training realm, is one of the "Five Qi training sons of the Ling family" just like Ling Pengyun's grandson Ling Wanhan.

Ling Licui is one of the "Five Ling beauties" among the female cultivators in the foundation building stage.

They are all key talents of the Ling family.

And Wang Quan, who is also a talent for making talismans, even if he becomes the son-in-law of the Ling family, he is an outsider after all, and is not suitable for being included in the titles of the Ling family.

After all, whether it is the Eight Qi training sons of the Ling family, the Three Qi training women, or the Six Foundation Building Sages and the Five Foundation Building Beauties, the four titles are all the faces of the Ling family.

Among these faces, mixing in a cultivator of a different surname will more or less damage the reputation of the Ling family.

Giving these cultivators of different surnames a title is also a bit of a reputation-damaging, and it is not suitable.

However, the Ling family would not hesitate to train talented non-monk cultivators like Wang Quan as long as they married Ling family female cultivators and had children.

It was just that this group of people lost a title, and they had no objection in their hearts.

"In this case, Senior Ling Fu did not break his promise and was serious in teaching Ren Yang and the other three."

Ling Pengyun murmured.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun and Ling Chengyuan discussed the rest of the family affairs, as well as the two major Jindan clans under the family, Pingyun Yang Clan and Poyun Liang Clan, and the three major forces of the other three major sects in Yan State, "Bailing Sect", "Yaowang Valley" and "Qingxin Taoist Temple".

Since the monster rebellion decades ago, when the Ling family led the Yang family and the Liang family to occupy the territory of the Lower Purple Scorpion Ridge, the only third-level spiritual vein in that territory was also given to the Yang family and the Liang family by the Ling family, allowing the two families to divide this third-level spiritual vein by themselves.

However, for some reason, the Jindan cultivator Yang Siqi and the Jiadan cultivator Liang Mingtu from these two forces reached an agreement and occupied the third-level spiritual vein together. They built two cultivation caves to cultivate in them respectively, and also built a number of second-class cultivation caves, which were divided equally between the two forces.

Since the two families obtained this third-level spiritual vein, the 10,000 spiritual stones that they had to pay to the Ling family every year were also paid by the two families.

As for the faction of Bailing Sect, five years ago, another Jindan appeared. She was from the faction of Bailing Zhenren, and her Taoist name was "Duoling Zhenren". She was a female Jindan.

In this way, the faction of Bailing Sect also had four famous Jindans, namely Bailing Zhenren, Baoyuan Zhenren, Jiadan Realm Baiyuan Zhenren, and Duoling Zhenren.

The number of cultivators in the faction of Lingfu Patriarch did not increase.

In the early years, when Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi were still building their foundation, they made friends with "Qin Shi". Because of his great contribution to the monster rebellion, he was also given a monster golden pill and a second-class golden pill spiritual object by the Lingfu ancestor to help him condense a fake pill that is easier to condense, but unfortunately, Qin Shi failed.

At present, Qin Shi's life span is not much.

A few years ago, Qin Shi also came to Ling Pengyun in person, wanting to meet with Ling Pengyun, his good friend.

But unfortunately, Ling Pengyun was not in the family at that time, so he was rejected and went back to Jiaomang Lake.

The Medicine King Valley, which already has a strong foundation, has added two Jindan Zhenren in the past few decades, with the Taoist names "Yaokui Zhenren" and "Ganglie Zhenren".

The former is an alchemist, from the disciples of Medicine King Zhenren, and is also a female cultivator, good at water refining.

The latter is a physical cultivator, who was cultivated by the Medicine King Sect at a great cost to protect the sect. This person is also very loyal to the Medicine King Sect.

Qingxin Taoist Temple has not produced any new Jindan because of the decline of talents in the early years, but there are many more Jindan seedlings.

Perhaps in the future, this sect will have more Jindan.

After chatting for a while, Ling Pengyun also handed over the ten medicinal materials entrusted by Canglan Bihai Sect to Ling Yunhong, the alchemist, to Ling Chengyuan, as well as the formation containing the third-level Gengjin Refining Treasure Spirit Pond and the third-level spiritual veins given by Beishan Zhenren, and asked him to pass them on to Ling Yunhong, who was currently in seclusion to practice and impact the fifth level of Jindan, and the formation master Ling Penglin, who was in seclusion to comprehend the formation.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun and his wife Yan Siyi immediately rushed to the Ice and Snow Valley in the Ice and Snow Forest to visit his grandson "Ling Wanhan".

According to the elder Ling Chengyuan, he was brought to the Ice and Snow Valley by his parents Ling Chengping and Lin Fan four years ago, waiting for the return of Ling Pengyun and his wife.

Ling Pengyun's only son Ling Chengxia also returned to the Ice and Snow Valley four years ago.

………

Ice and Snow Forest.

Ice and Snow Valley.

Deep.

On a flat ground, there was a 1.5-1.6-meter-tall child with a fair complexion and gorgeous clothes holding a long sword, fighting against a middle-aged black-robed monk with bright eyes and ordinary appearance.

The long sword in the child's hand was only half a head shorter than him, which made the child's sword look a little funny.

But the child used the long sword in his hand very well. Every time he struck the sword, there was a faint sound of breaking through the air. Only a sword light could be seen passing by, which looked very methodical.

However, no matter how well the child used the long sword in his hand, it was difficult to break the defensive offensive built by the middle-aged black-robed monk with a single-handed long sword.

However, the middle-aged black-robed monk only defended and rarely attacked, as if he was feeding the child with moves.

The swordsmanship in the child's hand also improved and became much more fierce.

At this time, Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun, two old men who had followed Ling Pengyun to the Ice and Snow Forest Branch of the Ice and Snow Valley decades ago, suddenly ran in from outside the valley.

They both had countless surprises on their faces.

Yang Qiuyun called out to the child who was actually fighting with swords and the middle-aged monk in black.

"Cheng Xia, Wanhan, go and call Cheng Ping and the others out of retreat."

"The array plate of the valley protection array in my hand sensed that Pengyun and Siyi had entered the valley within ten thousand feet. I'm afraid they will be in the valley soon."

This situation also alarmed the child "Ling Wanhan" and the middle-aged monk in black "Ling Chengxia" who were fighting with swords.

They immediately stopped fighting with swords, and turned to look up in all directions with surprise.

The nine-year-old child Ling Wanhan had a little more curiosity on his face.

Nine years ago, not long after he was born, his grandparents Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi left the family. Since then, he has never seen his parents, his grandpa Ling Pengyun, who is said to have the Golden Core cultivation and the strongest person in the family, and his grandma Yan Siyi, the spiritual chef.

"What are you doing here? Go and call Cheng Ping and Xiao Fan. When the time comes, we will reunite and have fun together."

Ling Xiaoshun saw the appearance of Ling Chengxia and Ling Wanhan and urged them.

Ling Chengxia and Ling Wanhan retracted their gazes after hearing the words of their elders.

However, when they were about to run to a cultivation cave deep in the valley to call Ling Chengping and Lin Fan, who had just closed their doors to comprehend the secret art, a kind man's voice came from a distance.

"Don't call Cheng Ping and Lin Fan, they are still in seclusion. It's not too late to get together after they come out of seclusion."

As soon as these words fell, a green light flew rapidly from the distant sky.

Ling Chengxia and Ling Wanhan also stopped.

Ling Wanhan, who had been in the Dao for a year, saw the flying green Dao escape light, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"This Jindan escape technique is really fast."

Ling Xiaoshun, Yang Qiuyun, and Ling Chengxia looked at the escape light with surprise.

"Sure enough, Pengyun is back."

Yang Qiuyun murmured.

Soon, the green escape light landed beside them.

At this time, Ling Wanhan realized that the previous green escape light was transformed from a green-haired roc.

"Grandpa's Fengying Peng?"

On the roc sat a young monk wearing a blue Taoist robe, with an upright figure and an extraordinary temperament, and a beautiful young female monk wearing a plain Taoist robe, with a plump figure, at least 1.78 meters tall, and looking very elegant.

"These two people look exactly like the portraits of grandpa and grandma in my mother's hand, so they must be grandpa and grandma."

"But why is grandpa so young?"

Ling Wanhan was so shocked that his mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in it.

He heard that grandpa and grandma Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi were already 160 or 170 years old.

And Yan Siyi and his wife, who were on Feng Yingpeng's back, also jumped down to the ground at this moment.

"Father, mother, we haven't seen each other for a long time. You are getting older and your hair has turned a lot whiter. Your cultivation has not improved much in the past nine years, but there are too many things going on in this Ice and Snow Forest branch?"

The young monk "Ling Pengyun" with extraordinary temperament saw the two old men Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun again after nine years. However, he saw that the two old men had many wrinkles on their faces and their hair was much whiter. His brows suddenly furrowed.

"Silly boy, your father and I will be almost two hundred years old in a few years. Most foundation-building monks can't get out of bed at this age. Your father and I just have long white hair at this time. Is there anything strange about it? "

"By the way, Pengyun, this time you and Siyi went on a family trip to Zhongzhou to cultivate immortality. Why did it take nine years for you to come back?"

"But what trouble did you encounter? Are you injured?"

The look of surprise on the face of Ling Pengyun's mother "Yang Qiuyun" suddenly fell and turned into a look of worry. She also walked up to the immortal Ling Pengyun and the beautiful cultivator "Yan Siyi" and kept looking up and down. Check them for any injuries.

Nine years ago, when Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi left home, in order to reassure their families, they also promised that they would return home within five years. However, there were too many changes during their trip. Tan, another trip to the Baiying Secret Realm, another trip to the Canglan Secret Realm to reforge magic weapons, etc. after obtaining many high-level spiritual irons.

It was precisely because Ling Pengyun and his wife had delayed their return home for four years that Yang Qiuyun was so worried.

The Ling Chengping family who has been in charge of the Lingxiao Qianxing Lake branch all year round, and Ling Chengxia who is on the Dragon Vein of the Bailingmen Jiaomang Lake branch, came to the Ice and Snow Valley, the Ling Pengyun monastery four years ago, for this reason.

There are few families involved in the world of immortality in Zhongzhou. It is said that this place is the starting point of all worlds of immortality. There are many spiritual creatures in it, but it is also very dangerous.

Over the years, Yang Qiuyun and others have been worried about Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi.

At this time, Ling Chengxia also asked with a worried look.

"Yes, Dad, Mom, why did it take you so long to come back this time?"

The child Ling Wanhan came to his senses at this moment and timidly shouted to Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi, the legendary golden elixir masters.

"Grandpa!"

"grandmother!"

Although Ling Pengyun's father, Ling Xiaoshun, did not speak a word, the worry on his face was no less than that of Taoist companion Yang Qiuyun.

At this time, Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi, who had just jumped off Fengying Peng, felt a little sad after hearing Yang Qiuyun's words.

Yes!

Their parents, Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun, are both nearly two hundred years old.

Even though the two of them had found a lot of longevity-increasing items for these two elders over the years, Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun were only foundation-building monks after all, and their longevity had only been added to about three hundred years.

This is because the two of them have low cultivation levels and can take a lot of things to increase life span. If the golden elixir monks want to extend their life span for a hundred years, it will be extremely difficult.

Now, Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun have basically taken common and some rare longevity-increasing substances on the market. In the next hundred years, if these two elders fail to enter the realm of golden elixir, I am afraid that they will also Sitting down... and leaving.

Suddenly, the joy that Ling Pengyun and his wife felt at returning home suddenly dissipated and turned into heaviness.
