Chapter 972: Encountering a Rogue Cultivator (Subscription Request)
Although Baihua Valley is a powerful force in the Nascent Soul stage, the strength of the current Yuanying True Lord of Baihua Valley is relatively weak. In the melee of snatching the third-level mineral vein a few years ago, this valley also lost the upper hand.
The subordinate forces under this valley also suffered the most casualties.
Ling Wanhui also thought that under such circumstances, perhaps he and Ling Wanhan would have more development opportunities to rebuild the White Shadow Sect here.
After a while, the two of them also landed under the market, exchanged spirit stones and entered the market very smoothly.
And going to the City Lord's Mansion to buy spirit veins and obtain the authority to establish forces was also particularly smooth.
However, Ling Wanhan and Ling Wanhui only bought one second-level spirit vein and ten first-level spirit veins.
Although the City Lord's Mansion still has many ownerless spirit veins, the City Lord's Mansion is unwilling to sell them.
According to Ling Wanhan and Ling Wanhui's guess, it is probably because the City Lord's Mansion is afraid that selling too many spiritual veins to Ling Wanhan and Ling Wanhui will disrupt the power structure near the spiritual veins and cause unrest.
Although the Qi training, foundation building, and Jindan forces in Baihua Valley are not in the territory under its command, it is best not to appear if it can.
The second-level and ten first-level spiritual veins that Ling Wanhan and Ling Wanhui spent a lot of money to buy are all in the territory of a Jindan force called "Yunyanshan Qianjia" under the command of the Yuanying force Baihua Valley.
In fact, this Yunyan Qianjia is also the immediate superior of Ling Wanhan and Ling Wanhui in the future.
In the future, they will have to hand over a batch of spiritual stones to Yunyan Qianjia every year.
Of course, the Yunyan Qianjia of the Jindan force will also pay tribute to the Yuanying force Baihua Valley every year.
It took more than ten days of travel for Ling Wanhan and Ling Wanhui to arrive near the Lingshan where the second-level spiritual vein they rented was.
What surprised the two was that the second-level spiritual mountain they bought actually had three foundation-building cultivators.
Two were in the early stage of foundation-building and one was in the middle stage of foundation-building.
Just as Ling Wanhan and Ling Wanhui were puzzled and were about to ask, the three foundation-building cultivators in the spiritual mountain flew out one after another.
Among the three foundation-building cultivators, there was a middle-aged couple who looked ordinary, like ordinary people, and the other was an old cultivator with white hair, holding a cane and hunched back.
The cultivator with the highest cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation-building was the husband of the couple.
The middle-aged husband in the middle stage of foundation-building, who looked like a farmer, asked Ling Wanhan and Ling Wanhui from a distance.
"I wonder what you two are here for?"
Ling Wanhan explained immediately.
"Three fellows, we have no intention of offending you. We came here because we two brothers rented a second-level spiritual mountain from Baihua Valley. According to the map, it should be the spiritual mountain where you three fellows are."
"I wonder what the situation is?"
The middle-aged man in the middle stage of foundation building had expected it, but he couldn't help but reveal a bit of helplessness between his eyebrows.
"Is that so."
"As for me, my wife, and that old Taoist friend Mo, we rented it from the monks of Baihua Valley who manage some nearby ownerless spiritual veins not long ago, and used it temporarily for cultivation."
"Now that the two masters of the spiritual mountain have arrived, we will not disturb them any more."
"Please give us some time to pack up, and we will leave after we pack up."
Ling Wanhui, who had a calm face on the side, heard the words, and there was a slight fluctuation in his expression. He also asked the middle-aged man in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Can you give me some advice on the matter of Baihua Valley disciples renting Lingshan?"
The middle-aged man in the middle stage of foundation building may have good intentions, so he also explained.
It turned out that the area of 2,000 to 3,000 miles around this place was the territory of a relatively strong foundation building family, but the foundation building force was not lucky. During the melee between the three major forces in Yunyue Continent a few years ago, it was killed by a hostile Jindan Zhenren who sneaked into this place, and not even a cultivator seedling was left.
Only some mortals around survived.
And the two second-level spiritual veins and dozens of first-level spiritual veins under the command of the foundation building family also became ownerless.
The second-level spiritual vein and ten first-level spiritual veins rented by Ling Wanhan and Ling Wanhui this time were part of the original spiritual veins of the foundation building family.
Afterwards, in order to prevent casual cultivators from occupying these ownerless spiritual veins at will, Baihua Valley sent a cultivator who had completed Qi training to sit in the surrounding area.
However, the disciples of Baihua Valley who had perfected Qi training enriched themselves and rented out all the ownerless spiritual veins in the surrounding area, either to the couple who were building foundations, to independent cultivators like old man Mo, or to nearby family forces.
"So that's how it is."
"By the way, fellow Daoist, are there many independent cultivators on other vacant spiritual veins nearby?"
Ling Wanhui asked again.
The middle-aged man in the middle stage of foundation building saw Ling Wanhui asking this, his expression changed slightly, and he dared not say more, lest Ling Wanhui and Ling Wanhan, who were the foundation building deacons sent by Baihua Sect, bring trouble to himself.
Ling Wanhui had learned how to talk with his father Ling Chengyuan, the great elder of the family, since he was a child. He also understood the concerns of the middle-aged foundation building. Then, he took out dozens of spirit stones from his arms, handed them to the middle-aged foundation building, smiled, and said.
"Don't be surprised, fellow Daoist. This time, the two of us brothers not only rented the second-level spiritual mountain where you three practiced, but also rented ten nearby first-level spiritual veins. That's why we want to find out more about it. I hope you can give us some pointers."
The middle-aged foundation-building cultivator was slightly surprised when he heard this.
"I didn't expect that the two fellows were so wealthy that they could buy so many spiritual veins at once."
Before, he and his wife also wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to buy an unowned second-level spiritual vein from Baihua Valley as a place for cultivation, but unfortunately, the price of purchasing a second-level spiritual vein with spiritual stones was too high, requiring as many as 30,000 spiritual stones, which was equivalent to a foundation-building pill.
If they sold all their belongings, including magic tools, they could probably make up for it, but by then, their strength would be less than 30%.
This situation is extremely dangerous in the world of immortal cultivation.
Helplessly, the couple could only give up.
In a flash, a trace of greed arose in this person's heart.
However, he saw that Ling Wanhui, who was chatting with him, and the sturdy Ling Wanhan were extremely full of vitality, and they were afraid that they were not very old, and their cultivation was close to the middle stage of foundation building, and they were afraid that they would be able to break through in a short time.
The greed in his heart also turned into a fear of unknown danger.
"Golden Core Seedlings!"
Subconsciously, he also looked at Ling Wanhan and Ling Wan.
He seriously suspected that these two people were the Golden Core Seedlings of those big forces who came out to train.
