"This … If that's the case, then it's no wonder."
Ling Lie shook his head helplessly. "Since ancient times, all the cultivation techniques of the Long Family's direct descendants require the Dragon Energy. The Forbidden Palace has always been secretly guarded by the Long Family …"
Ling Lie didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear. Ling Yun obtained the Dragon Energy from the Forbidden Palace. Wasn't that stealing the Long Family's cultivation resources? How could the Long Family let it go after they found out?
If they didn't believe him, they could send a bunch of ancient martial arts cultivators to the Ling Family's Spirit Gathering Spell and see if the Ling Family would agree to it.
Ling Yun acted very indifferent and said, "It was an accident. Who would have thought that there would be the Dragon Energy in the Forbidden Palace? Furthermore, who said that the Forbidden Palace belongs to the Long Family? "
Alright, of course, Ling Yun was spouting nonsense. A dragon bed and a Royal Heavenly Seal released the Qi of the Dragon Emperor that allowed him to break through to Qi Cultivation Stage 3. How could he not know that there was Qi of the Dragon in the Forbidden Palace?
Unlike Mo Wudao, who went to the Forbidden Palace to find the underground palace, Ling Yun went there for the Dragon Energy! He went to find the underground palace as a side project!
As for the last sentence, it was Ling Yun's personality. Yes, who said that the Forbidden Palace belonged to the Long Family? The Long Family protected it because they needed the Dragon Energy, but that didn't mean that it belonged to them!
"Rascal, you …"
Ling Lie suddenly realized something and asked in shock, "You, you said that you can absorb the Dragon Energy in the Forbidden Palace? How … how is that possible? "
Ling Yun pretended to be innocent and said, "I don't know either. But the Dragon Energy in those dragon chairs and pillars just burrowed into my body. What can I do?"
"But I think it has something to do with the fact that I drank too much dragon saliva in the past six months?"
Ling Yun provided a possibility. He definitely wouldn't reveal the secret of the magical energy center. It was too shocking.
"Yes, that's probably the case …"
Ling Lie nodded his head to show that he agreed with Ling Yun. Suddenly, he stared at Ling Yun and said, "But doesn't that mean that you will have to fight with the Long Family for resources to cultivate in the future?"
Ling Yun could no longer deny it. He nodded and said, "That should be the case. So, at present, the conflict between me and the Long family is irreconcilable. "
Spirit Stones, Spirit Herbs, Medicinal Pills, Talismans, Weapons and Treasures, Cultivation Techniques, and even Array Formations … were all cultivation resources!
Cultivation resources could be said to be the most important thing to cultivators. If you have more, I will definitely have less. All the secluded families, ancient martial arts sects, and cultivation sects have formed various forces for one thing, and that is to fight for cultivation resources!
For example, the Spirit Qi on Earth was exhausted and there were only so many cultivation resources. At most, it could cultivate one Immortal. Now, there were two, three, or even countless cultivators who wanted to become Immortals. Wouldn't there be a bloody fight?
This was the same logic as countries desperately fighting for oil resources. Everyone wanted to develop, how could they do it without the support of resources?
"This …"
Ling Lie was speechless. Originally, he was thinking of personally making a trip to the Long family after he broke through to Level Two of the Divine Power Realm. He wanted to see if he could improve his relationship with the Long family. He wanted to try his best to sit down and resolve the conflict, giving the Ling family a chance to develop for three to five years.
Now, it seemed like it was impossible.
Because the Long family valued the Dragon Energy the most! Everything on the body of a legendary dragon!
The Ling family cultivated the Black Yellow Sutra and needed the Black Yellow Energy. Everyone minded their own business and had nothing to do with each other!
But now, a freak like Ling Yun appeared in the Ling family. He could actually absorb the Dragon Energy, and it seemed like he would need it in the future. How could such a conflict be reconciled? That was impossible!
"If that's the case, Grandpa will support you!"
Ling Lie thought about it and didn't make things difficult for him. He directly expressed his stance to Ling Yun.
Because Ling Yun was right. The Dragon Energy didn't belong to the Long family. Just because the Long family needed it, others couldn't get their hands on it.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Ling Yun knew that even though Ling Lie said it casually, this wasn't an easy decision for him. Hence, he obediently tried to please him.
Even though the Long family was suspected of going easy on the underworld, they protected the Ling family for eighteen years after the Ling family was almost wiped out.
Even though the Long family's reason for protecting the Ling family was unclear and impure, it was a fact that they protected the Ling family.
This was also one of the biggest reasons why Ling Yun could endure it and not go to the Long family to ask for an explanation.
Ling Yun would definitely want this explanation, but he had to wait for the right time. There was no point in wasting time if the time wasn't right.
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. I'll be leaving now!"
After Ling Yun finished his conversation with Ling Lie, he was about to slip away.
"Stop right there!"
Seeing that Ling Yun was about to leave, Ling Lie immediately stood in front of Ling Yun and glared at him. "Quota."
"Hehe, Grandpa, what quota?" Ling Yun asked even though he already knew the answer.
Ling Lie crossed his arms. "Don't play dumb with me, rascal. What quota are you talking about? How dare you not give the quota to Grandpa? "
"Oh …"
Ling Yun pretended to be enlightened. "I see. Grandpa, I really can't give it to you."
"Why?" Ling Lie was furious.
Ling Yun smiled. "Firstly, Grandpa, you're the person in charge of the Ling Family. What's the point of joining the Heavenly Team? Secondly, you're serving the country. Even if you don't join the Heavenly Team, when the country is in trouble, who would dare to stop you? Thirdly, if you want to use the cultivation resources distributed by the Heavenly Team, I can give you as much as you want … "
"Bastard! Do you think Grandpa cares about those cultivation resources? "
Ling Lie's nose almost went crooked when he heard Ling Yun's third reason. "To tell you the truth, it has nothing to do with what you said. Grandpa just wants the glory of the Heavenly Team!"
Ling Yun's expression suddenly turned serious. "Grandpa, fame and fortune are harmful. Let me be honest with you right now. What you're cultivating now, and what the entire Ling Family is cultivating, are all cultivation techniques. The path that our family is walking on is the path of cultivation! Other than cultivation resources and leveling up, we don't need those useless things! "
"…"
Ling Lie was rendered speechless.
Ling Yun then continued, "Also, I understand the Heavenly Team very well now. The management is open and extremely loose. You're just a member in name and have some privileges. Other than that, you can receive cultivation resources from the country to speed up your cultivation. When the time comes, you'll serve the country."
Soldiers were trained for a thousand days to be used in a single day.
However, the Heavenly Team's method of training soldiers was usually not strict or restricted. They only had to listen to the Heavenly Team's arrangements when they were needed.
The Heavenly Team didn't even care about internal conflicts. How loose was it?
"Grandpa, you're already so old. Why are you getting involved in something as illusory as glory?"
Ling Lie was completely convinced by Ling Yun, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Then … who do you plan to let join the Heavenly Team?"
Ling Yun smiled. "Me, Tie Xiaohu, and Mo Wudao will definitely enter. As for the other three spots, it doesn't matter. We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Ling Lie glared. "Those two brats are still far from reaching the Divine Realm!"
Ling Yun laughed heartily. "Hehe, I alone can take on ten people of the Divine Realm! Otherwise, why would Zhou Wenyi say that it's fine as long as I join? "
With that, Ling Yun disappeared from Ling Lie's sight in a flash.
Ling Lie was left standing there in a daze for a long time. Finally, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. "This brat sure runs fast …"
"The Long Family?"
Ling Lie's expression turned from benevolent to serious. He rubbed his chin and sent a telepathic message to Ling Xiao. "Third Brother, come over for a moment."
…
"Big Brother Yun, what's going on?"
"What a pity. Why didn't they fight just now?"
After Ling Yun left Ling Lie's courtyard, he appeared in the front yard and went to Ling Xiu's room.
The moment he entered, Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu, Mo Wudao, Ling Xiu, Ling Xue, Ning Lingyu, and Chi Xiaoqing surrounded him.
Tang Meng had already woken up, and Tie Xiaohu had stopped his cultivation. These youngsters had gathered for lunch and were now waiting for Ling Yun.
"Warmonger!"
Ling Yun glared at Mo Wudao, who was looking forward to a fight. Then, he smiled and explained, "What's there to fight about? They're here to give us benefits."
Then, he sat down and briefly told everyone what had happened just now.
Finally, Ling Yun said, "Actually, the quota was fake. The cultivation resources were real. When the time comes, no matter who joins, everyone will get a share as long as it's useful."
"That old man is not bad …" Mo Wudao said, shaking his head.
Ling Yun couldn't be bothered with him. He said directly to everyone, "We've visited the Forbidden City and the Great Wall of Beijing in the past two days. Now that this has happened, I don't think we should go to places like the Summer Palace and Fragrant Hills for now. There will be opportunities in the future anyway."
Of course, Ling Yun's words were mainly for Ning Lingyu. Ling Xiu and Ling Xue had already toured Beijing. Tie Xiaohu only wanted to cultivate, and Mo Wudao … This fellow started yawning again.
Ling Yun had accompanied Ning Lingyu for two days, and Ning Lingyu was already very happy. She knew that Ling Yun's time was precious, so she didn't need Ling Yun to say anything and just smiled and nodded.
The current Ning Lingyu had already reached the peak of Qi Cultivation Stage Level 3. Her mentality was already very different from before.
That was because there was a huge mountain in front of her, and that was Ling Yun!
To the current Ning Lingyu, nothing was more important than having the qualifications to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ling Yun!
Ning Lingyu was very clear that even though she seemed to be one step ahead of Ling Yun in terms of cultivation base, there was still a huge gap between them in terms of actual combat ability!
Ling Yun's pressure all came from the outside world, but Ning Lingyu had always been well protected by Ling Yun. Therefore, she only had one goal, and that was to catch up to her brother's footsteps as soon as possible so that she could stand by his side forever and fight shoulder to shoulder with him!
At this moment, Ling Yun stood up. "Xiaohu, Lingyu, both of you follow me."
Since they had already decided not to go out and play anymore, Ling Yun's next task today was to help these two break through to the next realm! (To be continued.)
