Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 148 Where are the anomalies in the long river of time?

Deep in the Dragon Palace.

In a small, recently built alchemy hall, the earth fire was blazing at this moment, and the layers of array patterns on the walls and the ground were shining with brilliant light.

A shiny brass furnace, about ten feet high, stands in the hall.

A beautiful young man in purple clothes sat in front of the stove, controlling the fire with a focused look.

Seven or eight beautiful palace maids and guards in gorgeous dresses stood by and waited patiently. They were all Luo Qingxuan's confidants.

A moment later, with a low roar coming from inside the alchemy furnace, a large amount of milky white spiritual energy gushed out.

As Ling Changqing skillfully made the seal, the heavy lid of the alchemy furnace slowly rose, and more than twenty fragrant Tianhua Yannian Pills emerged under the support of clouds, flashing with faint spiritual light.

A palace maid stepped forward and used the spiritual spell with ease to take in the newly-made second-level elixir and put it into the elixir bottle.

"Congratulations, son-in-law, you have refined another batch of elixirs."

The palace maids around smiled and complimented him.

Ling Changqing nodded and said gently: "Each of you take one, it will be a reward for you."

"Thank you, uncle!"

The palace maids were overjoyed. For them, this elixir that could extend life for twenty years was quite good. Even if they could not use it for the time being, they could sell it for some spirit stones.

The leading female official thought for a moment and asked, "Sir, do you want to take a break now, or continue to refine the elixir?"

Ling Changqing said: "Let's take a break before continuing. We still have a lot of spare materials."

The palace maids agreed and came over to help him sit down aside. Various spiritual wines and snacks were prepared on the table, which could help him recover his magic power quickly.

Ling Changqing picked up the bronze wine jar on the table and drank it all in one gulp. As the lukewarm wine went down his throat, his magic power, which was almost exhausted, began to gradually increase.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, a message with a mysterious rhyme emerged silently:

At this time, more than half a year had passed since Luo Qingxuan evolved into the Dragon Pool and was baptized by thunder.

Due to the huge gap in their cultivation levels, Ling Changqing is unable to continue dual cultivation for the time being, so he now has a lot more free time.

Apart from his daily practice, he spent his days eating, drinking and having fun, which allowed him to experience the life of a freeloader in advance.

After being still for a while, Ling Changqing proposed to Luo Qingxuan that he wanted to continue to improve his attainments in alchemy.

Luo Qingxuan agreed immediately. Since the alchemy hall in the Dragon Palace was too high-grade, Ling Changqing could not use it for the time being. Therefore, she specially ordered the craftsman to build a new alchemy hall for him and place a top-grade spiritual alchemy furnace in it.

The various alchemy classics and books on alchemy collected in the Dragon Palace are also extremely rich. As long as Ling Changqing wants to read them, most of them can be read and comprehended at will.

So for the next six months, apart from accompanying Luo Qingxuan, Ling Changqing spent most of his time here refining pills.

The resources in the Dragon Palace's warehouse are extremely rich, with all kinds of medicinal herbs and raw materials available.

Even if certain types are not in stock for the time being, Luo Qingxuan only needs to give an order and his men will go to the territories of major human forces to purchase them.

With enough opportunities to practice, Ling Changqing's alchemy level improved rapidly. Now he is not far from the threshold of a second-level intermediate alchemist. He can be promoted in a few months at most.

As for the four newly selected earth-level skills, Ling Changqing also did not delay his practice and made smooth progress.

"...Sir, the princess will be here soon!"

A tall, brightly colored female official came in, bowed, and then reported.

Ling Changqing was slightly startled, then he put down the bottle of wine and stood up.

"It's okay, just be as you please, sir."

A clear and pleasant voice came from outside, and a beautiful figure in a fiery red dress appeared, rushing towards Ling Changqing like a ball of blazing flame.

"My lady, has your Yuanying Zhenjun cultivation been stabilized?"

The couple was affectionate for a while, and Ling Changqing spoke gently, holding the beautiful woman's smooth and tight waist.

"Well, it's okay."

Luo Qingxuan smiled and pulled Ling Changqing to sit down again.

In the past period of time, Luo Qingxuan had often been in seclusion to consolidate his Nascent Soul True Lord realm. And according to the analysis of the elders of the Dragon Clan, Luo Qingxuan had gained enough benefits from the Dragon Transformation Pool this time, so that hundreds of years later, there would be no significant bottleneck when he wanted to impact the Spiritual Transformation realm.

In this way, Luo Qingxuan's possibility of becoming the next clan leader has greatly increased.

Although the top leaders have not officially announced this yet, all factions believe that this is only a matter of time.

Therefore, now, Luo Qingxuan's status and authority in the clan have been greatly improved. Not only did he obtain the magic weapon bestowed by the clan leader, but he also had the command of several elite legions.

This was naturally not good news for her brothers and sisters, but unfortunately no one cared about their attitude at this moment.

"Nothing happened during this period, right?"

Luo Qingxuan asked, picking up a red date on the table and taking a bite.

Ling Changqing hesitated for a moment, then took out a stack of exquisite invitations and some secret letters from his storage bag and handed them to Luo Qingxuan for review.

While Luo Qingxuan was busy consolidating his cultivation, over the past few months, many bigwigs within the Dragon Clan had tried every means to invite Ling Changqing to a banquet on their territory, with all kinds of excuses.

Along with the letters and invitations, there were also various valuable gifts, including some rare treasures. Ling Changqing chose to decline them all.

He was not familiar with the power structure within the Dragon Clan at all, and had no intention of getting involved, so he naturally would not express his opinion easily.

Anyway, he doesn't recognize anyone except Luo Qingxuan and Bai Qingyi.

Later, seeing that Ling Changqing was not interested, some guys simply went to visit him in person.

Among them are the dragon girls Luo Qingyi, Luo Qingyu and Luo Qingning. It is obvious what their true intentions are.

Ling Changqing also chose to avoid them. No matter how they threatened or bribed her, it was of no avail.

Later, seeing that they could not persuade Ling Changqing himself, they tried every possible means to have the secret spies planted next to Luo Qingxuan persuade and lure Ling Changqing in a roundabout way to get him to go out and travel around the territory.

The intention was simple. As long as Ling Changqing could leave the heavily guarded depths of the Dragon Palace, they would have the opportunity to take action.

As expected, Ling Changqing still refused and told Bai Qingyi about it.

The queen was undoubtedly extremely angry when she learned about it. She immediately told the clan leader about the matter and sent people to strengthen the defense of Luo Qingxuan's territory, never giving those guys a chance to cause trouble.

"This bunch of damn bastards! They all have bad intentions..."

Luo Qingxuan was immediately furious, her dark eyebrows raised, she clenched her teeth and sneered:

"It just so happens that my Nascent Soul stage has been stabilized. It seems that I have to go to their homes one by one and teach them a lesson!

This will save these sluts from causing trouble endlessly in the future. They don’t find it annoying, but I can’t stand it! "

Except for the eldest princess Luo Qingyi, the rest of the brothers and sisters are currently only at the Jindan Zhenren realm, so Luo Qingxuan is naturally not afraid of them.

After practicing dual cultivation with Ling Changqing and learning about all the good things about him, Luo Qingxuan would never tolerate anyone else getting involved with him unless he was out of his mind.

When it comes to the great cause of the Tao, there is no reason to back down even if the king of heaven comes.

Ling Changqing was a little worried: "Madam, are you really going to beat them up? Will it make things worse?"

"It's okay if it gets out of hand, what am I afraid of?"

Luo Qingxuan said fiercely: "They want to snatch my Taoist partner, do they still have the right to do so?"

As she spoke, she turned her head and instructed a guard beside her:

"Go, tell them to get ready immediately. We're going to give them a hard time this time!"

The guard's expression was slightly tense, then he took the order and left.

……

Changqing Island.

It was already night time, and except for some lights inside the market town and the family headquarters, most areas were shrouded in darkness.

There is no moon tonight, thick clouds cover the sky, and everything is silent on the dark earth.

Ling Changqing's cave abode was also silent at this moment. Song Xuelan, wearing a light blue dress and with calm eyes, was patrolling around the abode.

When Ling Changqing was away, Song Xuelan, who was in charge of the management, kept the place in order and personally took care of all matters, no matter how big or small.

I don't know when the master will come back...

Song Xuelan was thinking silently, walking slowly and gracefully in the corridor.

The night wind blew, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves swayed gently.

At some point, two shadowy, almost invisible figures appeared quietly several feet behind her, following her from a distance.

Song Xuelan was completely unaware and continued to patrol along the fixed route, while "they" followed her silently and watched her all the way.

Obscure divine thoughts are communicating:

"…Is this the place? It should be right!"

"It doesn't look like it. It doesn't match the latest results of the astronomical prediction. Maybe I've worked in vain again!"

"How could it be? If it wasn't for the anomaly staying here, how could it have left such an obvious aura?"

"It's too easy to fake this aura. You know, some beings don't want us to find it..."

"But our actions are kept strictly confidential. There is no way they can get wind of it. Even if they do, they can't stop us!"

"That makes sense. It is extremely difficult to locate an intelligent being in the long river of time, let alone a rare anomaly."

The shadow fell silent, watching Song Xuelan walk through the last courtyard and activate the formation restriction.

Then she made her way back to her room.

"It seems like I'm really wrong? Even if the anomaly had stayed here before, it should have left by now!"

"Then... continue looking? We are subject to too many restrictions in our current state, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome!"

"Well, we've come back empty-handed so many times, so this one won't make a difference..."
