Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 168: Collect All
"Sure enough, I knew it..."

Ling Changqing muttered to himself in his heart.

The Yu family siblings probably already guessed their identities, but for the sake of confidentiality, they chose not to reveal them on the spot.

They knew it, and Ling Changqing also knew that they knew it, so now that Yu Qingyang had made this proposal, it was almost like a reveal.

If Ling Changqing shows a rejection attitude, it is hard to say what will happen next.

Perhaps the Yu siblings would not make things difficult for him, but he couldn't expect to leave Dragon Soul Valley smoothly.

Not to mention the female cultivator from the Liuying family, the cultivators from the other seven forces are probably all having ideas about Ling Changqing.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Ling Changqing to leave safely as he was alone.

"Friend Wang?"

Yu Yalan's plump, warm body leaned towards him, her big watery eyes staring at him intently.

Ling Changqing glanced at her and smiled slightly:

"Sister Yalan, do you really want me to agree? If so, you and your sister will both be mine!"

A blush quietly appeared on Yu Yalan Liyan's face, but she still mustered up the courage to respond:

"Since you are interested, this is not impossible...as long as you agree to stay in the Yu family."

Yu Youqin also came over, and gently held his arm with her delicate hands. Her face turned red, and she looked shy and dared not say anything, but her actions said it all.

In the distance, the eyes of Liuying Bingchan and Liuying Mengluan became increasingly cold, as did Mu Yunxiu and even Tang Qingwan.

Although they didn't know what the two vixens were talking about, their female instinct made them realize that something bad was happening.

Ling Changqing sighed and responded with his mind:

"So? You guys figured it out? Maybe this is God's will?"

"So...Fellow Daoist Ling Changqing, have you agreed?"

Yu Yalan said with a smile.

From the incredible luck of this unfamiliar monk, she realized that something was wrong.

No matter how powerful the deep-sea dragon clan is, it is impossible for them to have two chosen ones with great fortune at the same time.

Therefore, this dragon cultivator who goes by the alias Wang Changan is actually the legendary son of destiny, Ling Changqing.

It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

"If I dare not agree, will you guys take me back by force?"

"Definitely!"

Yu Yalan looked as if it was a matter of course.

An unprecedented opportunity is right before your eyes. If you don't hurry up and grab it, are you going to let it go to someone else? That would be a real brain hole!
"Okay, it's settled then!"

Ling Changqing gently pulled the fishing rod in his hand and caught another piece of quasi-fourth-level spiritual gold material.

Suddenly, Yu Yalan breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she would have to spend a lot of time talking, but she never expected the other party to agree so readily.

After quickly exchanging a few words with Yu Qingyang and Yu Youqin, Yu Yalan turned her head with a blushing look and said to Ling Changqing:

"Since you have made your choice, my husband, why don't you...sign this marriage certificate now?"

It's no wonder she's so anxious. There are just too many covetous eyes around her. In order to avoid any further complications, it's better to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Now is not the right time. If they see us, they will definitely become suspicious and try to stop us!"

Ling Changqing shook his head and rejected it.

Are you kidding me? I have already written a marriage certificate for the female cultivator of Liuying family. If this happens again, how will it end in the future?
What's more, she was just pretending to be nice to them. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for a favored daughter from one of the nine noble families to share a husband.

Yu Qingyang frowned, glanced at the groups of cultivators from those families, and finally nodded:

"Okay, it's the same thing if we make it up after we leave here."

Yu Youqin thought about it, unbuttoned her clothes with her delicate hands, reached into the majestic snow-capped mountains, and took out a gold-inlaid jade pendant with a warm body fragrance.

Her face blushed and she secretly put the pendant into Ling Changqing's hand.

Yu Yalan followed suit and also took out a personal sachet and handed it to Ling Changqing.

In exchange, they both took away a pair of jade pendants from Ling Changqing's waist and a jade ring on his hand as tokens of trust.

"Once the matter in Meteorite Abyss is settled, how are we going to leave?"

Ling Changqing asked, it’s not so easy to leave under the current circumstances.

Yu Qingyang said: "This is not a problem. I just contacted a group of family members and asked them to come to support us as quickly as possible."

As long as there are enough powerful families present, there is no need to worry about the monks from these families causing trouble.

Of course, if they really had to take action, as long as they could escort Ling Changqing safely to the Yu family's camp, it would be worth it even if a group of family members were sacrificed.

Ling Changqing nodded and said nothing more. This was fine for now. After he had exploited all the opportunities here, he would leave quietly.

Over the next two days, Meteorite Abyss appeared calm on the surface, but in fact, undercurrents were surging.

The Yu family sent two groups of family members to provide support, totaling more than three hundred people.

A group of female cultivators from the Liuying family also came over, and together with the female cultivators who had arrived earlier, the total number exceeded four hundred.

In addition, the Mu family, Feng family, Yu family and other families also had varying numbers of cultivators arriving.

More than once, the female cultivators in these family teams found excuses to secretly chat with Ling Changqing and inquire about his background in a roundabout way.

Or they may try to lure him into changing sides by offering him extremely generous conditions.

Ling Changqing ignored him and just concentrated on fishing, collecting all kinds of spiritual gold materials.

Finally, the last moment arrived.

Seeing the mysterious sea of ​​stars in the crater gradually dim and disappear, it means that this round of opportunity has come to an end.

If you want to see this strange sight again, you will have to wait until fifty years later.

"That's great! It's a rare opportunity to come back with a full load!"

Ling Changqing slowly stood up and put away his fishing rod, saying with some reluctance.

"Friend Wang, are we leaving now?"

Yu Qingyang spoke gently, and at his hint, the surrounding Yu family cultivators stood up one after another and entered a state of readiness for battle.

"Of course, where is the next important opportunity? Why don't you decide, Brother Yu?"

As Ling Changqing was speaking, Yu Yalan and Yu Youqin came forward and held his arms, one on the left and one on the right.

Both sides are tightly surrounded by majestic snow-capped mountains. The softness contains amazing elasticity, which makes the feeling so comfortable and relaxing.

Yu Qingyang pondered and said, "You have seen the current situation. Dragon Soul Valley is a dangerous place and it is not suitable to stay for long. Why don't we return to the family camp first?"

Now that he had found the greatest opportunity of being the Son of Fortune, the rest of the benefits were no longer worth mentioning. Yu Qingyang now only wanted to take Ling Changqing away from here as soon as possible.

"Husband,"

Yu Yalan said quickly: "There are so many good things in the family's treasury. No matter what kind of treasure you want, it is not a problem. Let's go back first!"

She was also afraid of complications, and looking at the fiery eyes of the many female practitioners around her, she almost pounced on them to snatch the person away.

"Okay then, I'll follow Brother Yu's opinion."

Ling Changqing said.

A cultivator from the Yu family released the Tianzhou tower ship, which was more than thirty feet long. Yu Youqin and Yu Yalan held Ling Changqing's arm and were about to board the ship.

"...What? Fellow Daoist Yu is leaving now?"

As Yu Piaoyun's voice sounded faintly, the Yu family cultivators present gathered around silently.

Yu Qingyang's expression suddenly turned cold, and he turned to look at the other party:
"What do you want to do? Didn't you get enough of my teaching last time? Do you want to learn from me again?"

The atmosphere at the scene quietly became tense and solemn.

Not only the Yu family, but cultivators from several other families are also eager to try and are ready to join in.

Looking at Ling Changqing who was surrounded by many cultivators, Liuying Mengluan looked anxious. It would be difficult to rush over and snatch people away in this situation.

Yu Piaoyue's handsome face showed no emotion:
"Hand over that dragon cultivator, and I will let you go today. Otherwise, you won't have to go back!"

Yu Qingyang sneered: "What a big tone, is your Yu family very strong? How dare you say such words to the Yu family?"

As he spoke, Yu Qingyang's aura slowly rose, as if a long-dormant ancient beast was awakening.

At the same time, Yu Yalan seemed to sense something, and swung her sword suddenly in front of Ling Changqing, causing an unfamiliar scream.

Immediately, a vague figure emerged, and it seemed to be the Tang family cultivator who attacked Ling Changqing last time. However, this time, facing the well-prepared Yu sisters, his methods were not effective.

"go to hell!"

Yu Youqin swung her hand and gave a heavy blow. With a piercing whistling sound, the soft whip transformed into numerous whip shadows that enveloped the guy.

A moment later, the opponent was covered in blood, with broken bones and tendons. He was thrown far away by the terrifying force and it was obvious that he would not live long.

"Tang Yifeng, are you also not afraid of death?"

Yu Qingyang looked towards the Tang family's group of cultivators with murderous eyes.

Tang Yifeng's face was as cold as iron at this moment. He slowly took off the huge bow on his body and said coldly:
"Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. Let me experience Master Yu's abilities!"

Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Ling Changqing's figure quietly faded away, and in the incredible eyes of the people around him, he disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Thousands of miles away, somewhere deep in a primeval jungle, Ling Changqing's figure slowly emerged.

“…They won’t track us down, will they?”

Ling Changqing asked in a low voice as he casually killed a giant ape-like beast that tried to launch a sneak attack with a sword.

"Don't worry, I can shield the aura and cause and effect of those items on you. No one can figure it out!"

Gong Ling responded.

As for the price, it is only three years of life.

"That's good!"

Ling Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.

With Gong Ling's help, even the pair of ruby ​​crystal bracelets given to her by Bai Qingyi and her daughter could be perfectly covered up.

Next time you travel, you won’t have to worry about your true identity being exposed.

"Take all of these, and help me change my appearance and aura. I can't use this identity of Wang Changan anymore!"

As Ling Changqing spoke, he took out all the second and third level monster inner cores that he had exchanged in the past few days.

"Ok!"

Gong Ling agreed, and as dozens of inner elixirs disappeared one by one, Ling Changqing's lifespan continued to increase.

Since the grades of inner elixirs vary, the amount of lifespan that each one can increase also varies.

For example, a third-level demon beast's inner elixir can increase one's lifespan by five years, but a second-level inner elixir can only increase it by about one year.

Until the last sacrifice was completed, excluding the part that had been consumed, the upper limit of lifespan stabilized at the value of 366.

Although there are fewer materials that can be used to make elixirs, one's own lifespan is more important.

At this moment, Ling Changqing has transformed into a muscular man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is wearing a colorful long gown with a flowing aura and carries a broad-bladed heavy sword on his back.

This image is very different from the previous young man in black and gorgeous clothes, and even the aura of his destiny has changed.

Even if Yu Youqin, Yu Yalan and the others were present, they would not be able to see any clues.

"Okay, now let's continue searching for opportunities!"

Ling Changqing said that until the Dragon Soul Valley was closed, he would never have anything to do with any female cultivators.

The only thing that interests him now is the many opportunities in the valley. He will not let go of any opportunities he encounters and aims to take all of them.

After taking out the jade map and confirming his location, Ling Changqing drove away quickly.

As for the situation in Meteorite Abyss, he didn't care.

I guess without this son of luck being present, the cultivators from the nine great families wouldn't be able to fight even if they wanted to, right?

But Liuying Mengluan, Yu Yalan and other girls might be a little sad, and might even hate him.

Why flirt if you don't marry?

It doesn't seem right. I didn't actively tease them, did I? They came to me on their own.

Therefore, Ling Changqing felt that he did not meet the standard of a so-called scumbag.

After all, he was only considering his own safety, and their safety as well.

To put it simply and bluntly, they are unable to grasp such a miraculous opportunity as the Son of Destiny.

Perhaps after several years, when Ling Changqing grows into a great man at the level of Yuanying Zhenjun, he will have enough ability to protect them.

This primeval forest is quite vast, with towering trees that require more than ten people to hug everywhere, and dense tree canopies that block out the sun.

Even if a cultivator flew over the forest on a flying sword, it would be difficult to find a specific target without expending spiritual power to conduct a carpet search.

Deep in the forest, in a large swamp filled with miasma.

Crocodiles of various species can be seen everywhere, several meters long, with black tumors all over their green bodies, and looking hideous and ferocious.

They lay lazily in the filthy mud, and were too lazy to move even when they were extremely hungry, unless some small animals happened to pass by, they would suddenly pounce and swallow them in one gulp.

A beam of light suddenly flew by, and the next moment, hundreds of sharp sword energies fell like a rain curtain, densely packed.

A hoarse scream was heard, and an alien crocodile had its body torn apart by the sharp sword energy. Immediately, an inner elixir the size of an egg dripped out of the body in the blood and fell into Ling Changqing's hands.

Then it was the second head's turn, and the third head's turn...

The crocodiles reacted and immediately launched a counterattack. These second-level monsters roared and balls of water the size of sea bowls shot out like raindrops.

In addition, there were magical spells such as ice arrows, giant trees and lightning, which poured down towards Ling Changqing.

However, these magical powers were relatively crude, and their killing power was naturally unsatisfactory. Most of them were avoided by Ling Changqing, and the rest were all taken up by the Glazed Yellow Umbrella.

In just a few moments, all the alien crocodiles in the swamp were cleared out by Ling Changqing.

However, there are no decent spiritual medicines and herbs in this place, and only the heartwoods of a few spiritual trees have some value.

After confirming that no fish had escaped, Ling Changqing rushed to the next hunting area without stopping.

The next day, Ling Changqing appeared alone in the depths of a mountain range.

The mountains here look majestic and steep, but most of the interior of the mountains have been hollowed out, forming caves of an unimaginable scale.

The largest and deepest caves even reach deep into the ground, touching the underground magma river.

The culprit behind all this is the Earth's Core Firefly, a kind of vicious social creature the size of a human head.

They have claws that are as sharp as flying swords, which can easily dig through hard rock layers and feed on the spiritual gold ore in the soil.

The threat posed by each of these things individually is not very great, but once a scale effect is formed, they will exert terrifying destructive power.

Ling Changqing walked into the huge cave entrance step by step, surrounded by two flying swords, one red and one green.

A scorching red light with a faint afterimage hit him head-on.

The sharp sword energy swept past and tore it into two equal halves. The broken insect body fell to the ground, making a sound of metal.

It looks like a large wasp, red all over, with a metallic luster and a very high temperature.

A wisp of spiritual flame fell, wrapped around its remaining body and burned fiercely. After dozens of breaths, it was burned to ashes, leaving only a metal crystal the size of a peanut.

This thing was condensed from the essence of the Earth Core Firefly, and was naturally collected by Ling Changqing.

He looked around and saw more Earth Core Fireflies rushing out from all parts of the huge cave, like a well-trained army, attacking him madly in groups.

The extremely sharp sword energy filled the area of ​​twenty feet in radius, and any Earth Core Firefly that broke in would be dismembered indiscriminately.

In just a moment, the broken insect bodies around Ling Changqing had piled up into a small hill.

A large ball of high-temperature spiritual flame then fell, burning all the insect bodies into ashes, leaving only a few metal crystals on the ground.

But this cannot scare away their kind, and more Earth Core Fireflies continue to rush out, one after another.

The sword energy was everywhere, and large tracts of life disappeared quickly like snow under the scorching sun.

After dealing with another wave of insect attacks, Ling Changqing took out a set of formation flags and plates and set up a hidden formation.

Next, whenever his magic power was about to run out, he would temporarily retreat into the formation to recuperate and recover, and then come out to fight again after a while.

Ling Changqing's goal is to kill the fireflies in the earth's core.

According to the map data, near the nest of this gregarious ferocious creature, there are many kinds of fire-attributed spiritual medicines and herbs growing, from first-level to third-level, and there is no shortage of rare herbs from quasi-fourth-level.

After several hours of fierce fighting, the cave with a radius of dozens of miles has been cleared by Ling Changqing.

Then he followed the tunnel inside the mountain and continued to fight his way deeper into the mountain.

After a day and a night, Ling Changqing had gone hundreds of feet underground.
