Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

The next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 294 Harvest (Part 1), we look forward to your visit.

Inside the main hall of Qingya Mountain, seeing Zhang Lingyu return safely, the old man finally felt relieved.

A month is not a long time for either mortals or cultivators, but for Zhang Yuanlin it felt like an eternity. During this time, he lost his appetite and stopped drinking tea, and he lost a lot of weight.

He had to stay in the ancestral hall almost every day to check on the condition of the soul lamp.

Just a few days ago, Zhang Lingyu's soul lamp flickered and almost went out, which frightened him quite a bit.

The reason for all this stems from the struggle between Zhang Lingyu and Yue Yi in their sea of ​​consciousness.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Second Grandfather..." Having just escaped death, Zhang Lingyu felt a pang of sadness seeing the old man's haggard appearance.

"Don't worry, your second grandpa won't die anytime soon. As long as you return safely, that's all that matters..."

Zhang Yuanlin waved his hand, looking at the pale-faced man in front of him, knowing that he must have suffered a serious injury, and asked carefully, "Lingyu, how is the injury to your soul... I have already asked Xingfu to buy some pills in Tianliu City, and they will be delivered soon."

"This is no small matter; there must be no concealment. The clan will do everything in its power to treat you!"

The soul lamp flickered, and even a Qi Refining cultivator could tell that the soul had been injured.

Zhang Lingyu is about to break through to the Golden Core stage; if this is delayed for too long, it will definitely become a chronic illness.

In mild cases, recovery takes a few years; in severe cases, it may take ten years or more, or even a lifetime, with no hope of achieving the Core Formation stage.

That's why he was in such a hurry to buy pills. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to exhaust the family's savings so that Zhang Lingyu could successfully form his core!

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Second Grandfather. My soul has suffered some injuries, but because I helped the Li family, True Person Xuanhao specially gave me some pills. I should be fine after a year or two of seclusion." Zhang Lingyu then recounted the whole story of how she helped the Li family seize the Phoenix Fruit Tree.

The old man nodded after hearing this, without interfering further.

This move further enhanced the friendship between the Zhang and Li families, but it also directly alienated the two great Golden Core families of Huang and Du. Although the matter was handled discreetly enough, if it were ever exposed, it would surely lead to the extermination of their clans.

As the clan leader, Zhang Lingyu has his own reasons for making this decision, so there's no need to interfere too much.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. This trip to the Spirit Puppet Sect has been quite fruitful; at least we don't have to worry about the materials needed for Core Formation anymore!"

Too much sadness was really affecting the atmosphere, so Zhang Lingyu quickly changed the subject. She took out two jade boxes from her storage bag, inside which lay a fiery red jade marrow and a spirit herb with purple patterns. She smiled and introduced them:

"These items are called [Primordial Yang Fire Marrow] and [Purple Jade Flame Grass]. Both are spiritual items that can help fire-element cultivators form their core. After I consume one portion, the other portion can be given to Uncle Xingyao for his future core formation!"

Both of these Core Formation spiritual objects were obtained from the main hall. The Spirit Puppet Sect naturally uses fire element as the primary element when crafting puppets.

As for that Golden Core pill, he didn't take it out. If word got out, even the Li family wouldn't be able to resist coming to seize it!

"This...this..."

Zhang Yuanlin froze on the spot for a moment, tears welling up in his eyes. He tremblingly reached out his hands to take the jade box from Zhang Lingyu, but then suddenly pulled his hands back, whether out of fear of defiling the spiritual object or fear of not being able to hold it properly, he just stared at it intently.

After a while, he looked away and gestured for Zhang Lingyu to close the jade box.

"Good boy... such a good boy..."

The old man closed his eyes slightly, muttering to himself, his heart filled with both joy and sorrow. He was joyful because his family might be able to produce a Golden Core cultivator through this, but he was also sorrowful because Zhang Lingyu must have suffered greatly to obtain these two spiritual treasures...

After a long silence, he sighed, "It's a blessing for our family that you were born into our household, but we have nothing to offer in return..."

"That's not how it works. In a while, the family might have to spend a huge amount of their accumulated resources on my cultivation path..."

Zhang Lingyu offered gentle words of comfort, but suddenly heard a voice outside the door announcing that Zhang Yuanli had arrived.

"Come in."

As the palace doors opened, a handsome young man stepped into the hall, knelt in the center, and respectfully said, "Junior Zhang Yuanli greets the clan leader and the Second Elder. The clan leader's safe return is truly a great blessing for our family."

It should be noted that during this month, not only the higher-ups but also the lower-ranking members of the clan lived in constant fear. News from Tianshui County was sent to the clan every day, and they knew that their clan leader was vying for the opportunity.

Competing for opportunities with so many exceptional talents, one's downfall is highly likely, which inevitably causes concern.

But with Zhang Lingyu's return, Zhang Lingtai spread the news everywhere, and everyone soon learned that their clan leader had returned safely, and their worries were finally put to rest.

"I'm sorry to have worried you. Please get up, sit down, and let's talk."

Zhang Lingyu looked at the family's direct descendant who had already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining and nodded slightly. Although he was not as good as Zhang Yuanyao, he was still quite impressive.

Zhang Yuanli has undergone many trials and tribulations in the past two years, which has greatly changed his personality. In addition, he participated in the defense when the demonic cultivators attacked the mountain some time ago, which has improved his skills. He has gradually become the backbone of the family.

In addition, he married a direct descendant of the Li family, and Zhang Yuanshan became a Foundation Establishment cultivator, which greatly enhanced his status within the family.

Some even say he is the only choice for the next clan leader.

Zhang Lingyu also intended to groom him to succeed as clan leader, but this young man was mainly involved in managing the Dan Ding Pavilion, and it remained to be seen whether he could manage the entire clan and the entire Yingchuan County well.

Of course, not everyone is born to be a clan leader, nor is he the only one who can be the clan leader.

Once Zhang Lingyu forms his core, he will still control the overall direction of the clan, and the clan leader will only handle clan affairs.

Because he needed to go into seclusion to heal his injuries, he could only let Zhang Yuanli and a few other members of the clan assist Zhang Yuanlin in handling clan affairs for the next two years, to see how things went before making any further decisions. He would then personally consider the matter after he emerged from seclusion.

He is currently in the prime of his life, and the clan is thriving, so there is no need to rush things.

"I've called you here to retrieve some items for the Pill Refining Pavilion."

Without wasting words, Zhang Lingyu slapped his storage bag and took out all thirty-one pill furnaces he had obtained from the Dingyuan Hall.

In addition, there are many pill formulas, jade slips, and first- and second-tier spiritual herbs and fruits.

Because of their sheer quantity, these items occupied almost a quarter of the main hall's space, filling the entire hall with the fragrance of medicine and radiating a precious light.

"This...this..."

Zhang Yuanlin suddenly stood up, and looking at the dazzling array of items, tears streamed down his face again. The boy in the seat was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

It should be noted that since its establishment, the Dan Ding Pavilion has only had ten pill furnaces at most!

There were as many as thirty-one pill furnaces in front of them, some even at the Foundation Establishment level. As for the pill formulas and jade slips, there were far more than the family had collected over hundreds of years.

The boy opened his mouth in astonishment and exclaimed, "Clan leader, how much have you robbed?!"
