Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 171 Ling Qiyue: Leniency for Confession
Above the clouds, the flying boat shrouded in spiritual light sped away at lightning speed.

"...In another three days and three nights, we will be able to enter the outer reaches of the Feiyu Sea."

In the cabin, Ling Changqing looked a little melancholy: "It's a pity for Qingxuan and the others. They will probably be sad for a while, right?"

Gong Ling smiled and said, "There's nothing to worry about. They won't give up easily and will definitely look around for your whereabouts.

After several years, when you become a Nascent Soul True Sovereign or even a Spiritual Transformation Great Power, you can naturally go back to find them!"

"Yeah, that's the truth."

Ling Changqing said that in this vast world, strength is the capital for cultivators to survive.

Only when you have enough strength can you control your destiny and not be manipulated as pawns by powerful people.

However, it is conceivable that when the entrance to Dragon Soul Valley was closed and Ling Changqing still hadn't appeared, the expressions of the old guys from the nine major families would be very interesting.

Originally, with the heavyweight bargaining chip of the Son of Fortune, they had already conceived and finalized many plans that would allow the ten forces to grow and develop rapidly.

If everything goes well, perhaps in hundreds or thousands of years, there will no longer be any other forces existing in the Yuzhou world of immortal cultivation.

They can even join forces to expand to other large states, swallowing up all those vast and rich territories until they gain control of the entire Qingyao Continent.

It’s a pity that such a brilliant development prospect turned into a dream bubble because of Ling Changqing’s disappearance.

Of course, Ling Changqing himself will not regret it.

If he still stayed there, the Dragon Clan and the nine great families would immediately have to go to war with other powerful forces that coveted the Son of Destiny in order to protect themselves.

During this catastrophe, no one knows how many monks will die, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood are just an understatement.

Only now, when those big shots have completely lost track of Ling Changqing, will they give up their unnecessary ambitions and live a peaceful life from now on.

"Do you think that the Qingyao Continent will be unified in the future?"

Ling Changqing asked again.

"Of course, as long as you stand at the top of the avenue in the future, Master!"

Gong Ling said as a matter of course.

Ling Changqing nodded silently. This was definitely not a goal that could be achieved overnight, but it was at least a thought.

Now, let alone the Qingyao Continent, even remote areas like the Feiyu Sea are in a state of fragmentation and disunity.

If he and the Ling family want to completely wipe out and integrate these small families and sects, there is still a lot for them to do.

There was no conversation along the way. After dozens of days and nights of rushing, Ling Changqing finally saw the familiar Zenxin Island, Longhuan Island.

Of course, there is also Changqing Island, which has become the Ling family's base.

I have been away for several years, and it seems that there has not been much change here, except that the market town and the port are more popular, and there are more spiritual fields, medicinal mountains and mines that have been reclaimed.

It can be seen that Ling Qiyue, Tang Qiuyao and others have not been lazy and have been managing family affairs diligently.

After entering the port airspace, Ling Changqing put away the flying boat and controlled the light to fly towards the spiritual vein blessed land where the family headquarters was located.

In the embroidery building of the owner's boudoir.

Ling Qiyue, who was wearing a fiery red palace skirt with phoenix feathers and had a beautiful face, was sitting by the window. The gold-threaded sandalwood desk in front of her was piled with jade slips and books. She was carefully checking the family's financial expenses for this month.

Not far away, Tang Qiuyao was wearing a bright yellow dress embroidered with the sun and the moon, outlining her voluptuous and charming figure. She had cloud-like hair and a phoenix hairpin, looking noble and charming. She was sorting out the many pieces of information sent back from various places by the family intelligence network.

After a while, Tang Qiuyao raised her fair and rosy face, frowned and said:

"The expenses of this family intelligence network are really outrageous. It consumes a large portion of the fiscal budget every year, and it will continue to increase in the future. It's simply..."

Ling Qiyue opened her red lips slightly and smiled calmly: "This amount of spiritual stone resources should be spent, don't feel bad about it, I plan to increase the investment further!"

For any qualified head of a family, no matter how poor, they must not be short of intelligence, which is an important guarantee for the stable survival, development and growth of the organization.

As long as the intelligence work is in place, it will be enough to deal a fatal blow to potential opponents, and defeating the enemy without fighting is not a delusion.

Tang Qiuyao naturally understood this truth, and she was just expressing her feelings just now.

The Ling family is now a veritable Jindan force, and has occupied a Feng Shui treasure land like Changqingzhou. Naturally, they will no longer lack resources for development.

Ling Qiyue closed a jade slip with her slender hands, a hint of melancholy appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she sighed softly:
"That guy has been out for several years, right? I wonder how he's doing out there!"

According to Fu Yinxue, Ling Changqing went out to travel and explore the ruins of an ancient cave.

But over the past year or so, Ling Qiyue felt more and more that something was wrong. Could that guy have been abducted by some vixen?
If Changqingzhou had not been completely dependent on her presence, she would have gone out to look for Ling Changqing long ago.

"Yeah, he's been out for so long, he should come back now, right?"

When talking about this, Tang Qiuyao's mood also became a little depressed. She did miss Ling Changqing a little.

Moreover, since my dual cultivation partner has not been around for a long time, the speed at which my cultivation progress has slowed down a lot.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister,"

Tang Qiuyao pursed her glossy and charming cherry lips and smiled softly:

"Let's keep this in mind. When that guy comes back, we must..."

"What must it be?"

A familiar voice sounded, gentle, calm and magnetic.

Then a faint figure emerged and turned into a beautiful young man in purple clothes with a graceful figure, looking at them with smiling eyes.

"Husband..."

Ling Qiyue widened her beautiful eyes and stood up in surprise and joy.

The stunningly beautiful Tang Qiuyao moved even faster. She moved closer with her voluptuous body, opened her snake-like arms, and pulled him into her broad and majestic bosom.

The familiar faint body fragrance came to his face, and Ling Changqing couldn't help but hug her tightly and be gentle with her for a while.

"Okay, Senior Sister is still watching..."

After a moment, Tang Qiuyao finally reacted. Her face flushed, her beautiful eyes were full of charm, and she spoke shyly.

Ling Changqing then reluctantly let her go, turned around and hugged Ling Qiyue's plump and warm body, touching her all over, trying to treat her equally.

"Bad guy..."

Ling Qiyue struggled symbolically for a few times, then began to respond to his tenderness warmly, her enchanting arms squeezing him so hard that it hurt a little.

After a long while, the lips parted.

"Okay, let's sit down and talk, shall we?"

Ling Changqing whispered that he was really craving for meat after not having tasted meat for several months.

"Ridiculous fellow!"

Ling Qiyue blushed and said coquettishly, this bastard has been away for a few years and he just came back and wanted to pull them...

However, the two women did not refuse. They were shyly and timidly dragged into the inner room of the boudoir by him, one in each hand.

……

A faint fragrance filled the air deep in the bedroom, and brocade curtains hung low.

On the large jade embroidered couch, Ling Changqing turned over with some effort and hugged two snow-white, enchanting, and beautiful bodies.

The wonderful touch of silk, smooth and tender, came over him, and the fire in his heart that had calmed down a little started to flare up again.

"...You heartless man, where have you been these past few years? You've made us live in fear at home!"

Tang Qiuyao turned over and pressed him down, her voice surprisingly soft, and her round, slender long legs wrapped around him, caressing him gently.

Ling Changqing put his arms around the two girls' smooth and tight waists and said softly:

"This is a long story. If you two ladies are willing to listen, I will tell you everything I know!"

"Then go ahead and talk, we're listening!"

Ling Qiyue bit his ear gently with her rosy lips: "Look at how many slutty vixens you have hooked up with outside, my husband?"

Ling Changqing was speechless. This meant leniency to those who confess and severity to those who resist?
Next, he told the story of how he traveled to Hanyue Island, where he met the Dragon Princess Luo Qingxuan, who took a fancy to him and forcibly took him back to the Deep Sea Dragon Palace.

"Sure enough, I knew you were kidnapped by some other vixen!"

Tang Qiuyao grabbed him angrily.

"I didn't want to do this, but I was forced, okay?"

Ling Changqing said helplessly, I swear to God, I can't be blamed for the cause of this incident.

"What happened next? Did you go to the Dragon Palace to become the princess's husband?"

Ling Qiyue said with a half-smile.

"Don't be impatient, ladies. Let me tell you slowly..."

Ling Changqing spent a while recounting his experiences in the Dragon Palace, as well as his experience of entering the Dragon Soul Valley to train and search for opportunities.

Of course, at the end, his act of secretly leaving Dragon Soul Valley and escaping quietly prevented an imminent war from happening.

The two girls' faces turned pale when they heard this. Their husbands had made it sound so light, but the process was actually quite dangerous.

If a bloody war really breaks out between those major forces, the entire landscape of Yuzhou's immortal cultivation world will undergo earth-shaking changes.

This kind of drastic change, which happens only once in a thousand years, will inevitably affect many small and medium-sized forces in the surrounding areas, and any carelessness will lead to a catastrophic disaster.

It is hard to say whether Changqingzhou can stay out of it by then.

"So, that Dragon Princess is pretty nice to you?"

Ling Qiyue narrowed her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "I will help you choose the best martial arts manuals, the natural treasures that can improve your spiritual root qualifications, and let you enter the Dragon Soul Valley to train and search for opportunities...

So, you should be very touched, husband. Could it be that you really like her?"

Ling Changqing sighed: "Is this all you care about?"

"if not?"

Ling Qiyue said coquettishly: "What do the grand plans of those aristocratic families have to do with us? Don't I only care about you, my husband?"

"I came back to find you, didn't I? It shows that no matter what, you are the most important in my heart."

Ling Changqing tightened his arms around their waists. "Well, alright, you've passed for now!"

Tang Qiuyao suppressed her smile and said, "My husband, you may not be able to go out freely for the next period of time. Those old guys will definitely not be willing to let you go. They will definitely search everywhere for your whereabouts."

"Well, I know."

Ling Changqing nodded, he naturally understood this.

The combined intelligence power of the nine great families and the deep-sea dragon clan can produce effects beyond imagination and should not be taken lightly.

Maybe I will have to have a private talk with Xue Qingtan later, since she has some thoughts about me anyway.

"Okay, let's continue practicing!"

Ling Changqing told the maid to prepare the banquet first, and he brought the two girls to the inner study.

"I have copied down those martial arts manuals. You two ladies can use them to study and practice."

As Ling Changqing spoke, he took out more than twenty jade books, which contained not only martial arts techniques and magical powers, but also secret books on alchemy treasured by the Dragon Palace.

"They are all good things. In the future, we should have the same chance as my husband to reach the Yuanying Zhenjun realm, right?"

Ling Qiyue said in a low voice, her beautiful eyes unable to conceal her excitement and joy.

"Remember to keep it a secret, don't let anyone else know!"

Ling Changqing warned.

For safety reasons, he would only give such benefits to his partner, and others should not expect it.

In addition, Ling Changqing also gave one of the three crystal beads obtained from the Fallen Cherry Mountains in Dragon Soul Valley to Ling Qiyue and Tang Qiuyao respectively.

With such spiritual objects, their spiritual roots can be upgraded to a higher level, and their future journey will be easier and smoother.

Finally, Ling Changqing took out some of the many rare spiritual medicines and various spiritual gold materials brought back from the Dragon Soul Valley and gave them to the two women as appropriate.

Of course, Qin Yun, Ling Bingyun and her daughter, Ling Xueyu and Ling Yuzhu and their daughter, Ling Yulu and Ling Zhiqing and their daughter would not be left out, and Ling Changqing also brought gifts for them.

Finally, there are Song Xuelan and Ling Menghuan, the two personal maids, who will not be treated unfairly.

"Shall we invite them to the dinner?"

Ling Qiyue said: "When you were not around, they missed you very much!"

"Well, it's necessary."

Ling Changqing nodded.

After talking for a while, the maid came in and reported that the banquet was ready.

Tang Qiuyao immediately ordered the maid to invite Qin Yun and other girls over and inform them of the news that Ling Changqing had returned.

A moment later, when Ling Changqing and the two girls appeared in the hall, Qin Yun and Ling Bingyun, Ling Yuzhu, Ling Xueyu, Ling Yulu, and Ling Zhiqing were all there.

The three pairs of mother and daughter had obviously dressed up carefully. They were all radiant, with beautiful pearls and sparkling eyes.

When they saw the familiar figure they had been thinking about day and night, a deep longing appeared in the girls' eyes.

"...Husband, you finally came back!"

Ling Bingyun, with her slender legs and bright and elegant appearance, was the first to come forward, hugged him and rubbed him, her beautiful black and white eyes were full of resentment.

Ling Changqing smiled and comforted her with a few words. He really missed them after not seeing them for such a long time.

"After my husband comes back this time, he should stay at home for a while, right?"

Qin Yun spoke softly. This quiet, elegant, fox-like, stunningly beautiful woman was dressed in a bright red dress, her hair tied up high, and her golden hairpins and tassels sparkled in the pearl light.

"Is such that."

Ling Changqing gave an affirmative answer, which made the girls all breathe a sigh of relief.

Most of their future improvement in cultivation level will depend on Ling Changqing, so naturally they hope to be able to accompany him more.

"Okay, sisters, let's sit down and talk!"

Tang Qiuyao smiled and asked everyone to take a seat and start enjoying the delicious food and wine.

"My husband's cultivation level has improved again. I think he should be not far from the peak of foundation building, right?"

The dignified, cold and serious Ling Yulu took a sip of the spirit wine and spoke softly.

Ling Changqing said gently: "That's about it. I think you can be promoted after another retreat."

Ling Yuzhu, whose skin was whiter than snow and whose beauty was gentle and graceful, smiled and said, "It seems that in a few years, the second Jindan Zhenren of Changqing Continent will be born."

The ladies all agreed that with two Jindan Zhenren in charge, Changqingzhou could establish an absolute advantage over the many small forces around it.

At that time, the unification of the Feiyu Sea was an inevitable trend and could no longer be stopped.

Ling Qiyue put down the wine bottle and said seriously, "Sisters, just keep in mind the news of your husband's return, but don't tell anyone else."

"As it should be, we know the stakes."

Qin Yun smiled.

They all now knew that Ling Changqing's identity was not that simple, so in order to avoid unnecessary complications, they naturally did as much as possible.

An hour later, Ling Changqing, who was full of food and wine, put down his chopsticks, and the girls looked over at him.

"Well, it's getting late, my husband should practice with them tonight!"

Ling Qiyue said generously that she and Tang Qiuyao had already eaten their fill anyway.

"Okay, that's it!"

As Ling Changqing stood up and spoke, all the girls blushed and stood up from their seats, surrounding him as he left.

The beautiful scenery that follows is not something that can be told to outsiders.

……

The next morning, the top leaders of the Ling family learned the news of Ling Changqing's return.

In fact, few people knew about his travels at the beginning. Ling Qiyue only told others that he was in seclusion and practicing.

Anyway, everything is peaceful around Changqing Island, and there is nothing that requires Ling Changqing to intervene.

Now that he was back, after a brief appearance, he plunged headfirst into the training room again.

This time I am truly in seclusion and practicing.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed quietly.

In the training room, Ling Changqing sat upright on the cloud bed.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, a message with a mysterious rhyme emerged silently:
[Lord of the Era Star Palace: Ling Changqing]

【Bone age: 36/385】

【Cultivation: Peak of Foundation Building】

【Luck:137+298】

【Fortune: 133+248】

【Physique:66】

【Root bone: 67】

【Comprehension: 76】

[Soul: 170]

[Dan Dao: 5190/30000 (Second-level medium quality)]

[Main cultivation technique: Taixuan Cangming Soft Water Technique (first level) 13474\20000]

[Main cultivation technique: Taiyin Yuehua Refining Spirit Heart Sutra (second level) 113/30000]

[Sword Cultivation Technique: True Explanation of the Way of the Sword (Level 14791) 30000/]

[Main cultivation technique: Langhuan Tianyuan Secret Codex (first layer) 13376/30000]

[Physical Training Method: Dragon Elephant Brahma Buddha Sutra (First Layer) 9887/12000]

[Spiritual roots: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, top grade earth 4577/30000]

[Noble: Fu Yinxue/Shen Tuhong/Xue Qingtan/Luo Qingning]

[Noble: Liuying Mengluan/Yu Yalan/Yu Youqin/Tang Qingwan/Mu Yunxiu]

[Taoist Companion: Tang Qiuyao/Ling Qiyue/Ling Bingyun/Luo Qingxuan]

After successfully refining the crystal bead, Ling Changqing's spiritual root aptitude was successfully upgraded to the upper earth grade.

Thanks to this, his cultivation level also improved by a small level, reaching the peak of foundation building.

With the improvement of cultivation, lifespan, fortune, luck, physical strength, understanding and soul will all be improved to varying degrees.

Especially when the Taiyin Yuehua Soul Refining Heart Sutra reached the second level, Ling Changqing's soul origin became even stronger.

With a strong soul, the difficulty of comprehending, practicing, and controlling various magical powers and spells will be significantly reduced.

Since there were still several vacancies for nobles, after careful consideration, Ling Changqing added the names of Liuying Mengluan, Yu Yalan and other girls.

"With my current potential, I don't need to consider the Fake Dan or True Dan realms at all. I can completely impact the Golden Dan True Person realm in one step."

Ling Changqing pondered secretly.

For those cultivators in the late stage of foundation building who are short of resources, have limited spiritual roots, and have difficulty in advancing, the Fake Dan Zhenren is usually the second best choice.

Although the combat power of Fake Dan Zhenren has not increased significantly and there is basically no room for improvement in the future, he can at least live another hundred years.

Foundation-building cultivators with better conditions in all aspects can consider striving for the True Dan realm. Not only will their lifespan be increased and their combat power greatly enhanced, but they will also have the opportunity to make further progress in the future.

However, the highest achievement belongs to the Golden Core True Man, which is the fundamental guarantee for the future impact on the Yuanying True Lord realm.
