Chapter 1197: Chapter 718_2
There are multiple rooms inside the flying device, including beds, but they always prioritize cultivation, typically sitting for their practice, not lying down!
Ding Ling invited her family into her butterfly-shaped flying artifact, and at night, she took them into the artifact, flying towards the sky!
The village of the Ding Family, once night falls, should be quiet. Were they lodging on the plains between several mountains?
These prey also take turns to stand guard at night. If the prey from the mountains appear in the village, they can only wait for death!
Those big men had been busy all afternoon; at night they indulged in wine and meat, and returned home intoxicated, not bothering to sleep, excitedly talking about Ding Ling, the fairy who led her family to prosperity!
Being part of the Ding Family, living in the same village, ever since Ding Ling tested positive for her Spiritual Root and entered the Immortal Sect, their family received compensation. The family should have moved away from this place, but they chose to stay low-key, believing their daughter would return, fearing that moving away would make it hard for her to find them!
The villagers used to envy them and now even more so, but with benefits, no one is foolish enough to provoke them!
When they saw an object emitting golden light flying into the sky, many people ran out from their homes and stood in their yards watching!
Then they saw another artifact soaring into the sky!
People looked up, thinking how lucky and blessed it would be to sit on such an artifact!
Lai Jianlin and his brothers were inside one of the flying artifacts, and of course, he wanted to be close to Ding Ling but feared it might be too much!
Ding Ling took her family in the butterfly-shaped artifact and roamed around the county!
Ding Ling copied the cultivation spell for mortals into numerous booklets!
She handed them out to each family member, from the elderly to new brides, wishing them to cultivate regardless of their future ability!
Entering the Immortal Sect opens the door to extended life, especially for her grandparents, whose lifespans should be prolonged as she takes action!
As hunters, the Ding Family members recognize a few characters, and they live just twenty miles from the county. The Immortal Sect collects Spiritual Root children from the county every few years!
For thousands of years, countless Spiritual Root children have been born.
Grandpa Ding and Father Ding had gone to test for Spiritual Roots back in the day, but unfortunately, they had none!
Generation after generation hopes to groom their children to become disciples of the Immortal Sect, ensuring they learn a few characters!
Ding Ling was groomed similarly, so when she entered the Immortal Sect to study in the library, the characters did not pose a challenge!
The Ding Family was initially incredulous at the thought of them being able to cultivate, then became excited!
With villagers present, they kept it secret and did not boast, knowing such matters should remain buried inside, never revealing these treasures without protection!
Regarding visiting relatives tomorrow, they have the desire to share with relatives, though it’s merely in their minds!
They themselves lack the ability to share the news and protect that cultivation spell!
Fearing it might bring trouble to Ding Ling!
Ding Ling shared with them that she is just an ordinary cultivator in the cultivation world, and when they heard of the Golden Core, they marveled and were astonished, yet knowing the Golden Core is merely ordinary!
After all, above the Golden Core are Nascent Soul Stage, Ocean Wheel, Spirit Mansion, Mahayana, and Divinity Transformation.
They have never seen anyone at Divinity Transformation Stage, but heard Mahayana Realm in the cultivation world is considered an elder!
In the Ding Family’s view, Ding Ling’s ability to use things to soar into the sky is impressive enough. If reaching her level, they believe having a Golden Core means having a lifespan of 500 years!
For these mortals, 100 years is the maximum, blessed if they reach Foundation Establishment Stage and have a lifespan of over 200 years!
Younger generations have a long journey ahead, and for the Ding Family’s elders, having another 200 years would allow them to enjoy more late-life blessings!
Ding Ling taught them the cultivation technique formulas, making sure they remembered the formulas for practice before discussing experiences and spells!
Thus, those who had never touched cultivation spells spent the night reading and memorizing the spells, without yet sitting down to meditate using the cultivation spells, with dawn approaching quickly!
Lai Jianlin and brothers, resting in their magical treasure during the night, each doing their own thing!
As dawn approached, Lai Jianlin arranged for Ding Ling and two brothers to come out, preparing for another deep mountain exploration trip!
To search for some formidable prey that might threaten nearby residents!
Such as insects, wolves, leopards, snakes, wild boars — large prey that must be eliminated!
Previously, Lai Jianlin intended to list some ferocious ones for gifts, but of course, they hadn’t been killed yet!
Concerning rabbits, three of those small animals are negligible!
Ding Ling was invited out by Lai Jianlin, and the three of them flew in the air, traversing through the nearby deep forests. With their powerful Qi, those large prey sensed danger and dared not venture out from their caves in the morning to hunt!
They must restrain their Qi, hoping to deceive the heavens and cross the sea!
Feeling threatened is partly due to sensing the overpowering aura from the strong!
But beasts are beasts, some are clever and arrogant, having previously been the fear of hunters!
To make beasts sense danger, of course, knowing that within one day, some companions in the deep forest were missing!
Each species sensed the absence of their companions and thus felt the threat!
Lai Jianlin and his brothers, along with their junior sisters, as Golden Core Practitioners, used their powerful Divine Sense to search each mountain; for beasts trying to deceive the heavens, it isn’t easy!
They can hide their Qi, but they must breathe, and when they breathe, their scent spreads!
Exposing the hidden cave, they hadn’t anticipated it, nor did they know that waiting for them was only surrender!
Lai Jianlin detected the insects, noting the four killed yesterday, realizing there are more companions in the deep forest, which mustn’t be left to breed.
In a cave, a male and female tiger protect a cub.
Upon sensing danger, the male and female tiger attempted to resist, leaping, but their limbs were suddenly bound by vines that tied their entire bodies!
These vines turned them into dumplings, though the beasts initially struggled free!
Attempting to retaliate but failing to locate anyone, they only felt more vines, thicker vines binding them.
The cub had long been tied up, unable to move, leaving the male and female tiger to thrash around!
These two were ordinary tigers, not Demonic Beasts, destined to be bound by fist-sized vines into dumplings, unable to move!
Only roars came from their mouths.
The tiger roars echoed through the surrounding valleys, with small animals and large animals trembling in fear; distant places hearing the tiger’s roar turned pale!
Thinking the tigers were coming down the mountain, they beat their gongs, preparing for defense!
Lai Jianlin cleaned up the tigers, placing them into the storage bag.
“Senior brother, giving gifts shouldn’t include these tigers, as sending them could cause trouble for my relatives. Even though fighting the insects brings honor, it might also cause problems. Better to hunt smaller prey for gifts!”
Ding Ling felt sending these ferocious tigers would terrify her relatives!
For their rural family, presenting wild rabbits or more wild chickens suffices.
Lai Jianlin accepted this suggestion, a simple matter, as he sensed where the wild boars were!
He asked Ding Ling to count the relatives, aiming to send prey as gifts.
If closer relatives, then gifting a wild boar will do!
To her grandfather and grandmother’s homes, her grandmother’s relatives, or the new bride’s family!
The father and grandfather’s kin had already been sent meat from yesterday’s hunt.
At this moment, they only thought about gifting other relatives, and Lai Jianlin did not consider gifting these to be significant since he was from a Noble Clan; these skilled tasks weren’t considered heavy gifts.
