Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 120 Ling Qiyue: We can go deeper
Inside the wing, Ling Changqing discovered a secret compartment that was hidden very cleverly.

It is located on the back of a ruby ​​bookcase, connected to the wall, and is about three feet square in size.

A pile of golden and purple metal strips shrouded in spiritual light were neatly stacked in the space, along with some scattered jade slips.

"This thing can move, no problem."

Ling Changqing didn't notice anything unusual, so he spoke softly.

Ling Qiyue felt relieved and took a piece of metal with her jade hand. She found that it was warm and surprisingly heavy. It would be impossible to lift it without reaching the foundation-building stage.

"This should be... Skyfire Blazing Copper?"

Ling Qiyue looked at him for a few breaths, a hint of joy appearing in her beautiful eyes.

Skyfire Blazing Copper is a precious spiritual gold with excellent properties that can be used to refine medium and low-grade magic weapons.

In Feiyu Sea, Hanyue Continent and Fuyue Continent, the production of this kind of spiritual gold is quite scarce, and if you want it you can only purchase it from outside.

The pile of Skyfire Blazing Copper in front of you can be used to refine a good low-grade magic weapon. Of course, other auxiliary spiritual gold materials must also be gathered.

"Low-grade magic weapon? I can't use it for the time being, so you can take it all, Senior Sister."

Ling Changqing said with a smile.

Ling Qiyue then put it into the storage bag and said, "You and Qiuyao should discuss the distribution of this after we go back. I don't really need it."

She felt that she was not far from the middle stage of the Golden Core, so her goal should be to at least obtain a mid-grade magic weapon, which she could leave for Ling Changqing and Tang Qiuyao.

However, the refining of magic weapons must be done by a third-level refiner. There is no such talent in the Feiyu Sea, so they can only turn to the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce for help.

After preparing the corresponding materials and asking a third-level refiner to help refine a magic weapon, the cost will naturally be quite exaggerated, and it will not be much cheaper than renting a magic weapon.

Of course, the magic weapon you refine will belong to you forever. It is a one-time transaction, so you can't say you're losing money.

As for those scattered jade slips, most of them were accounts, recording the lists of material trade between Hanhai Youming City and several forces of the same level.

Back then, this thing might have been considered a trade secret, but now it has no value at all.

The couple continued searching in the room, and soon Ling Changqing found another bright silver book.

The pages inside seemed to be made of the hide of some spiritual beast. They felt quite tough, smooth and silky.

Ling Qiyue took it and flipped through it, saying:

"This is a book of talisman scriptures. It contains all the experience of practicing and drawing talismans. Junior brother, you can take it back for your own use or give it to others!"

She herself is already a quasi-third-level alchemist and has no plans to learn other skills for the time being, so she doesn't value this.

Ling Changqing agreed and put it into his storage bag.

Neither Tang Qiuyao nor herself can use this, maybe she can give it to Qin Yun in the future. That elegant and beautiful woman is a talisman master, and Ling Bingyun also learned the art of talismans from her mother.

The third valuable discovery was a set of purple jade pill bottles, totaling twelve in size. Unfortunately, due to their age, the medicinal properties of the pills inside had been lost.

After Ling Qiyue opened them one by one and looked at them, she sighed with regret: "They are all third- and fourth-level pills, but they are no longer usable..."

However, the material of this purple jade pill bottle is quite good. It can continue to hold other pills after taking it back. Ling Qiyue still put it away.

The two continued to search, and Ling Qiyue discovered that her luck was indeed much worse than that of her junior brother, as evidenced by his constant new discoveries.

After half an hour, Ling Changqing silently communicated with Jiyuan Star Palace, and only stopped working after confirming that there were no forgotten corners inside and outside the courtyard.

A total of several kinds of spiritual gold have been discovered, including Xuanming Nightlight Sand, Jinghua Red Iron Crystal, Tapir Stone, etc., which can all be used to refine medium and low-grade magic weapons, but the quantity is not large.

Then there was a set of top-grade spiritual weapon-level colorful feather robe, two top-grade spiritual weapon-level flying swords, and hundreds of talismans that were almost ineffective.

Because the time is too long, resources such as elixirs and talismans are usually difficult to preserve, while spiritual weapons and spiritual gold materials are much better.

Ling Changqing chose a flying sword for sacrifice. He couldn't fully unleash the killing power of a top-grade spiritual weapon yet, but 70% to 80% of it would be no problem.

The remaining flying sword and the colorful feathered robe can be taken back to Tang Qiuyao. Of course, one cannot treat his Taoist partner badly.

Finally, Ling Changqing also found hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones in the box in front of the dressing table, which was considered an income.

"... Junior Brother, is it really not possible to try this?"

Ling Qiyue looked at the dark purple sword with a scabbard hanging on the wall. Its light was as pure and clear as water waves, and its powerful pressure was implicit.

With her keen eyesight, it was not difficult for her to tell that this was a mid-grade magic weapon, just right for her current use.

"This is definitely not okay. The curse on it is too strong. If you touch it rashly, disaster will befall you."

Ling Changqing said cautiously, in fact, there are more than a dozen similar good things in this courtyard.

For example, a three-legged jade tripod beside the well in the yard, a wine pot under a big tree, a pair of bronze lion paperweights on the table in the wing room, a phoenix-wing gold hairpin on the dressing table, etc., are all magic weapon-level objects.

But without exception, they were all filled with black air and the terrifying power of the curse. Even Ling Changqing didn't dare to take the risk now, let alone Ling Qiyue.

"Well, let's go to the next place."

Ling Qiyue said. Although it was a bit regrettable, the harvest that had been obtained was still quite good.

The two left the courtyard and continued to walk deeper into the ruins.

Compared to the outer area of ​​the Immortal Palace ruins, there are obviously more formations, restrictions and traps here, and they are not only more hidden, but also more lethal.

After turning into a new intersection, Ling Changqing stopped with a serious expression and carefully sensed his surroundings.

About ten feet away, a puppet about ten feet tall, wearing heavy armor and holding a halberd, walked slowly and heavily towards them.

There was a faint glow on its armor and weapons, and tiny light runes could be vaguely seen swirling around, and a fierce murderous aura filled the space.

And following it, new Taoist soldier puppets walked out step by step from the depths of the corridor.

Ling Qiyue's eyes narrowed slightly, and she was about to take action, but was stopped by Ling Changqing.

"Don't alarm them yet, let's see what happens first."

Ling Changqing explained.

Sure enough, the puppet holding a halberd that appeared first slowly walked to a position three feet away from Ling Changqing, then stopped, slowly turned around and walked back.

The same goes for other Taoist soldier puppets. In the absence of external influences, their patrol routes are fixed.

"If my judgment is correct, as long as we don't get close to the area within ten feet around these guys, we won't wake them up."

Ling Changqing whispered.

Even though these were only upper-middle-grade second-level Taoist puppets, Ling Qiyue could deal with them. However, if their numbers were too large, the consumption would still be quite exaggerated.

That's why Ling Changqing didn't let her act rashly. There must be many unknown dangers deep in the ruins, and she had to stay in peak condition at all times.

"Every time we go out from now on, we should take you with us and never leave you."

Ling Qiyue spoke seriously to the beautiful young man in purple beside her.

If she and Tang Qiuyao had come in again this time, they might have been caught by now.

"Well, I won't leave Senior Sister either."

Ling Changqing hugged Ling Qiyue's plump and smooth body and kissed her. The beautiful woman blushed, took his arm with her charming arms, and kissed him gently with her glossy and charming lips.

"Okay, let's go deeper!"

Ling Qiyue said softly: "We don't know if those guys outside will chase us in. We need to get the opportunity in the core area of ​​the ruins as soon as possible."

Ling Changqing nodded, took the beauty's arm and continued to move forward, carefully avoiding the forbidden traps along the way, as well as the Taoist puppets that were roaming and patrolling everywhere.

……

The outer area of ​​the Immortal Palace ruins.

In the black stone corridor, billowing flames poured down from the dome, and bolts of thunder and lightning struck down, beating the black-robed monks into a miserable state.

Just because they were unfamiliar with the environment here, they accidentally triggered several forbidden traps and were thus trapped.

A group of monks worked together to resist, and finally managed to withstand this wave of attacks, forcing the forbidden trap to be flattened by violent means.

At the end, a head count was taken and although there were no casualties, there were quite a few injured monks.

"... Elder, we can now basically confirm that someone really got there first, and it didn't take long!"

A fake Dan Zhenren held the star-disk-shaped magic weapon in his hand and reported to the Jindan Zhenren with a frown.

The elder had a gloomy expression and said in a cold voice: "Is there any way to determine their current location and catch up with them as soon as possible?"

"This...we can try, but there is no guarantee of success!"

Fake Dan Zhenren said cautiously.

It was his first time entering this place. Even though he was a quasi-third-level formation master, he still had a headache facing the formation restriction inheritance system of Hanhai Youming City.

When you first arrive, the information available for reference is extremely limited. It is good enough if you can ensure your own safety. How can you expect anything else?
"Well, just do your best!"

The elder sighed. In the current situation, even if a knife was placed on their necks, it would not be possible to solve the problem immediately.

So, this group of people, led by two formation masters, groped and explored step by step, and moved towards the depths of the black stone corridor.

Three days passed quietly.

By the time they finally saw the hall filled with Taoist puppets, the size of the entire team had shrunk by nearly one-third.

In other words, more than fifty black-robed monks have fallen forever in the corridors along the way.

"Huh? There are quite a lot of Taoist puppets here! It seems that some of them can be recycled?"

The elder said with a hint of surprise.

In his opinion, it was really puzzling that the group of monks who came in first did not plunder all available resources.

It didn't take long for the black monks to investigate the scene and report the situation truthfully.

"That is to say, they have looted all the good things here, leaving only some defective items, right?"

The elder's face suddenly looked a little bad.

But there is nothing they can do about it, since they came in earlier than them.
In the end, the elder could only frown and order his men to move on.

A few more days passed.

By the time the elder saw the picturesque courtyard, there were less than fifty monks still following him.

"Eh? That jade scroll... could it be a good thing?"

A sharp-eyed monk saw the unfolded jade scroll on the stone table not far away, with a glowing light.

"Let me see first!"

As Master Jiadan said this, he cautiously moved over with the star disk in his hand and began to investigate.

With his means, he checked it repeatedly for a long time but did not find any abnormalities on the jade slip.

"... Taiyin Yuehua Refining Spirit Heart Sutra? So it's this lost martial arts manual, but why didn't they take it away?"

The elder took a quick glance and immediately memorized the contents of the jade slip.

"Elder, you can take this technique back and hand it over to the organization in exchange for meritorious contributions!"

A black-robed monk spoke in a flattering tone.

The elder thought for a while and shook his head: "No, this thing is a little weird. You can just take a look at it, but don't touch it!"

Anyone who can cultivate to the Golden Core Realm cannot be a fool. The fact that the group of people in front did not take away this precious book of martial arts is very telling.

Then the black-robed monks turned the courtyard upside down, but of course they found nothing.

However, a few greedy guys couldn't stop themselves and accidentally touched the white jade tripod and the sword.

Then, shrill screams were heard one after another, and their bodies were instantly wrapped in the strange black air. They struggled for a while with blood coming out of their seven orifices, and then they died.

"You bastards, who told you to mess around? If you delay the organization's plan, can you afford it?"

The elder shouted angrily with a dark face, and the black-robed monks looked at each other, not daring to breathe.

"Okay, let's go! Be careful this time and make sure to catch up with those daring guys!"

After cursing for a while, the elder continued to give orders.

……

At this time, Ling Changqing had already safely crossed hundreds of intersections with the beautiful woman beside him and appeared inside a magnificent palace.

"Sister, let's find a place to rest for a while?"

Ling Changqing spoke in a low voice, his handsome face showing a rare hint of fatigue.

Along the way, his own luck and fortune have been continuously consumed, and have already fallen to a dangerous critical point. If he persists any longer, something might go wrong.

"Okay, let's go over there!"

Ling Qiyue looked at the boy with some pity, supported his body and walked to an empty area in the corner.

She took out a tent from her storage bag and unfolded it, then let Ling Changqing lie down in and recover.

The space inside the tent was not small, and it was fully equipped with bedding and beds, and filled with a faint fragrance.

Those wealthy Jindan Zhenren can already refine cave magic weapons and carry them with them, and use them when needed. They can enjoy luxurious and convenient living conditions in the wild.

It’s just that Ling Qiyue has only been promoted to the Golden Core Real Person for a few years, so she hasn’t had time to prepare this kind of cave-heaven magic weapon, and can only make do with this kind of magic-weapon-level tent.

Ling Changqing took off his clothes and lay down on the bed. Ling Qiyue followed him in, her soft voice revealing a hint of nervousness:
"Just now, that group of unknown origins has already found the location of that courtyard. There seem to be about 40 to 50 of them?"

When she and Ling Changqing left the courtyard, they secretly planned a little trick.

Now that those covert means were triggered, Ling Qiyue received the information.
