Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 179 Ling Changqing: Only children do multiple-choice questions

Feiyu Sea, Guisha Island.

This place was originally the base of a small sect, covering an area of ​​several thousand miles.

There are several mid-to-low-quality second-level spiritual veins on the island, as well as some first-level spiritual veins. The soil in most areas is relatively fertile and suitable for mortals to cultivate.

There are some common spiritual ore mines in the mountain area, which can provide stable income every year. The conditions in all aspects are quite satisfactory.

Ever since the Ling family of Changqingzhou defeated the coalition forces and unified the entire Feiyu Sea area, this small sect that had originally remained neutral also chose to surrender, and all its disciples moved to Changqingzhou.

Now this place has been taken over by the descendants arranged by the Ling family, and there are also some cultivators from other small families stationed here.

The market on the main island still exists, but it is not very popular. It was not very popular before, and it is even less popular now.

Deep in the wild mountains and ridges in the eastern part of the island, in a primeval forest where wild beasts roamed and few people went, Lu Jia was hiding in a hastily dug out cave.

For a genuine Jindan Zhenren, such conditions are indeed a bit shabby, but there is nothing that can be done about it.

Lu Jia was also injured in the battle that day, so he has been hiding here to recuperate.

Of course, it was also because his Taoist partner and combat pet had both died and he was filled with hatred, so he did not choose to stay away from the Feiyu Sea, but instead lurked here and planned to look for an opportunity for revenge.

In the dim cave, Lu Jia, who was sitting cross-legged and waking up from a state of enlightenment, had a sinister look and cold eyes.

He has been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, but since he was a casual cultivator and had no one to support him, every step he took was filled with blood and tears.

To achieve what he has today, Lu Jia must have gone through countless hardships, and he had faced many life-and-death crises.

Of course, Lu Jia was still lucky. Most of the independent cultivators who came from the same background as him had basically died along the way, and even their bones could not be found.

He is the only one who not only persisted to this day, but also seized opportunities again and again, until he reached the realm of Golden Elixir True Person.

But now that Lu Jia has encountered such a major setback, his luck has been greatly damaged, and his future path is also worrying.

"...Several months have passed. The Ling family should have relaxed a bit, right?"

Lu Jia pondered silently, with overwhelming hatred surging in his heart.

Although Yun Wushuang and he were just a couple who got married later in life, they had been living together for nearly a hundred years, taking care of and supporting each other, and they still had feelings for each other.

Now that she and her war pet had died in Changqing Island, Lu Jia would feel really confused if he didn't try to avenge her.

However, there is no force in the Feiyu Sea area today that can check and balance the Ling family. Facing a strong man in the late Jindan stage, Lu Jia is alone and has no confidence of success at all.

Unless I can go one step further and advance to the late stage of Golden Core.

But Lu Jia calmly assessed his own qualifications and potential, and felt that his hope was slim.

Another option is to invite three or five good friends to help deal with Ling Qiyue together.

Unfortunately, after Lu Jia thought about it for a moment, he realized that although he had made acquaintances with several Jindan Zhenren, his relationships with them were not very good.

It's fine if it's just a small matter, but wanting them to fight with me? That's impossible.

This is the natural disadvantage of independent cultivators. If they are cultivators from large sects or powerful forces, they will have more connections and can ask for help from fellow disciples or relatives, or from masters and elders, and at the very least they can borrow a few powerful magic weapons.

As a casual cultivator, you can't count on anyone for such big things, and you can basically only rely on yourself.

"...Forget it. I'd better stay in Feiyu Sea for a few years and kill a group of Ling family members first, okay?"

Lu Jia gritted his teeth and weighed the pros and cons. Even if he couldn't do anything to Ling Qiyue for the time being, he couldn't just watch the Ling family control the entire Feiyu Sea.

As for the situation in Changqingzhou, Lu Jia learned a lot about it from the three forces. He knew that this family lacked foundation because it rose too quickly.

As long as the children of the Ling family can suffer heavy losses, it is equivalent to strangling the opponent's life point, making it impossible for them to grow and develop.

When the time comes and the news of the emptiness of the Feiyu Sea is spread, naturally some big forces from outside will hear the news and come over to take this ownerless land into their possession.

Lu Jia's eyes became increasingly cold. By that time, he was afraid that even the precious land of Changqingzhou would not be able to be defended by his Ling family. The best outcome would be that the entire family would become a vassal, and the worst outcome would be that they would be uprooted.

Just when I was thinking happily, I heard a loud noise coming from outside. In an instant, the ground shook and the whole cave collapsed.

Lu Jia suddenly started to wake up, and his originally confused mind suddenly became clear, and a great sense of crisis emerged in his heart.

Outside, Ling Qiyue stood quietly in mid-air, her skirt was as white as snow, and her jade-like face was cold and charming.

The Beacon Cloud Bell was hanging above her head, with rays of light falling down. Two flying swords, one blue and one red, were circling around her, exuding murderous intent.

Behind her, there were four Taoist puppets floating, all of which were mid-grade third-level items.

A big hole suddenly collapsed on the overgrown ground, and then a sinister figure rushed out and stopped a hundred feet in front of Ling Qiyue.

"You...actually found me so quickly?"

Lu Jia's face turned dark and he stared at the beauty opposite him with gloomy eyes.

Even though I am not good at the secret method of shielding the secrets of heaven, I know a little about the means of concealing the aura of destiny. Logically, the other party should not be able to find me.

What is going wrong?
Could it be that this mortal enemy is also good at the secret art of deducing the secrets of heaven? How is this possible?

Ling Qiyue smiled, her clear and melodious voice was like a spring waterfall:
"I have no choice. Keeping you as my mortal enemy is always a hidden danger, so I took the trouble to come here in person!"

Lu Jia's eyes were cold, and he whispered, "Can't we talk? Do we have to kill them all?"

He really had no confidence in confronting him now, so he could only calm the other party with words and see if there was any chance to escape.

Ling Qiyue nodded and said, "It's easy to stay alive. Let me plant a restriction deep in your soul, and you will become a worshiper of the Ling family in the future. Then this matter can be solved perfectly!"

"You're dreaming!"

Lu Jia's face suddenly changed and he shouted harshly.

The soul is controlled, life and death are controlled by others, and freedom is lost forever. How can this be tolerated?
Ling Qiyue sighed regretfully: "Then there's nothing to talk about!"

Before he finished speaking, four Taoist puppets rushed over with a trail of afterimages.

Lu Jia gritted his teeth and shouted angrily. A yellow cloud emerged and turned into a seven-layer light curtain inside and outside to block in front of him, temporarily stopping the siege of the Taoist soldier puppets.

However, just when he was about to transform into a beam of light and escape, a beautiful young man in black with red lips, white teeth and eyes like ink quietly appeared in the distance and smiled at him meaningfully.

Along with a series of thunderous roars, the surrounding mountain and forest scenery changed, and the shadows of twelve huge formation flags flashed by.

Soon Lu Jia was horrified to find that the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth had almost been exhausted in an instant, and the spatial structure had been solidified, trapping him firmly inside.

"If I had known you would run away, I would never have given you another chance this time!"

Ling Changqing smiled slightly.

The reason why he showed up only now was, of course, to set up a formation in order to solve this scourge once and for all.

This set of third-grade superior-grade formation, specially used to trap Jindan Zhenren, was, needless to say, obtained by Xue Qingtan from the Chamber of Commerce. The rental price was indeed a bit expensive, but Ling Changqing could afford it now.

Lu Jia's heart sank, but he immediately reacted, gritted his teeth and sneered:

"So he is a kid with Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level, and he dares to be so arrogant?"

He suddenly swung his sword, releasing a lot of sharp sword energy, temporarily forcing away the siege of the Taoist puppets, and suddenly pounced towards Ling Changqing in the distance.

This guy has already seen through Ling Changqing as the mastermind of the formation. As long as he kills him or captures him alive, he can have a chance to escape.

But Ling Qiyue had no intention of stopping him and watched him perform with a smile on her face.

When Lu Jia rushed halfway, he suddenly felt a little confused. Could this be a trap?

However, before he could react, a Taoist puppet with a golden helmet and golden armor suddenly appeared and almost collided with him. "No, no..."

Lu Jia’s face turned pale instantly, and he finally understood the means Ling Changqing had prepared for him.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The golden-armored combat puppet grabbed him and decisively launched a self-destruction.

The next moment, amidst the earth-shaking explosion, a bright fireball slowly rose from the spot, like a rising sun.

When the flames faded, the bruised and battered Lu Jia still insisted on floating in the air. His clothes were torn and covered with shocking wounds, and blood was gushing out.

At this moment, he reached his hand into the storage bag tremblingly, took out a small and exquisite pill bottle, and was about to unscrew the cork.

"Don't waste it, let's get on the road!"

Along with Ling Qiyue's soft voice, sword energy as swift as a dragon descended from the sky, beheading the guy with one sword, and crushing his golden elixir and soul in the process.

At this point, Lu Jia completely perished in this world, and even the possibility of reincarnation was gone.

"Finally done!"

Ling Changqing appeared and watched Lu Jia's body collapse to the ground powerlessly after losing control of his body.

Controlling a third-grade superior-quality formation is indeed strenuous, as it has exceeded the limit of an ordinary cultivator at the peak of the foundation-building stage. However, the quality of the skills that Ling Changqing has cultivated is high enough, and with the help of the palace spirit, he can still hold on for a short period of time.

He landed gracefully on the ground and grabbed Lu Jia's storage bag and the sword, not even letting go of the small and exquisite pill bottle.

Ling Qiyue flicked her fingers and a ball of bright spiritual flame flew out, landing on Lu Jia's body and burning fiercely.

Soon, only a pool of white ash remained on the spot, and dust returned to dust from then on.

"He was a Jindan Zhenren after all, but he died just like that!"

Ling Changqing sighed slightly, walked forward, hugged Ling Qiyue and kissed her, his hands stroking her smooth and tight waist.

Ling Qiyue rolled her eyes at him coquettishly and said, "If it weren't for your ability to deduce the secrets of the universe, we wouldn't have been able to find him so easily!"

This is the truth. The survival ability of a Jindan Zhenren is not at the same level as that of a foundation-building cultivator. As long as they are determined to hide, it is not easy for outsiders to discover them.

However, in front of Ling Changqing, the son of luck, some things that seemed impossible just happened.

Until his death, Lu Jia never understood what kind of terrible opponent he had provoked, which led to his miserable death.

"Okay, my lady, let's go back to Changqingzhou!"

Ling Changqing said that the work had been done, so there was naturally no need to stay here for long.

Ling Qiyue agreed, and after he took back the formation flags, the couple rose into the sky and drove away in the flying boat.

A few days later, Xue Qingtan, Tang Qiuyao and other girls who were eagerly waiting at the family headquarters finally felt relieved when they saw the two men return.

Once this hidden danger is resolved, Changqing Island and even the Feiyu Sea area will surely usher in a period of rapid development with peace and tranquility.

In the inner study.

Ling Qiyue and Ling Changqing sat in the main seats, while Xue Qingtan and the other girls sat around and listened to him narrate the story of tracking and hunting Lu Jia.

"...Husband, do you still have that special killer move?"

Xue Qingtan asked with a little concern.

Ling Changqing nodded: "Of course there is, you don't need to worry."

There are only seven golden-armored combat puppet statues left standing in front of the Jiyuan Xinggong Palace. This is a life-saving trump card that ordinary cultivators dare not even think about.

"By the way, is this set of the Moon-Enshrined Spirit Forbidden Array really not for sale?"

Ling Changqing stroked the battle flag in his hand somewhat reluctantly.

This set of third-grade superior-grade formation inside the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce is really effective. It can even trap a Jindan Zhenren for a long enough time.

Therefore, Ling Changqing really wanted to keep this set of formation flags, even if it was expensive and he had to borrow money to buy them.

Xue Qingtan shook her head: "It really can't be sold. It can only be rented temporarily. Even my master can't break the rules."

"Well, I won't embarrass you, my lady."

Ling Changqing said this and returned the battle flag to her.

At worst, when I need it in the future, I can just ask Xue Qingtan to rent it. After all, he is my Taoist partner, so it won’t be difficult to talk to him.

Xue Qingtan took the battle flag and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Husband, and sisters, I just received some bad news."

"what news?"

Tang Qiuyao suddenly became nervous.

“Just a few months ago, Hanyue Island and its surrounding islands were completely destroyed by unknown forces, leaving no one alive!
The same is true for Fu Yuezhou. The branch and personnel stationed there by our Chamber of Commerce have already been..."

Xue Qingtan's words instantly changed the expressions of everyone present.

"Who did it? What was the reason? Was it necessary to be so drastic?"

Ling Qiyue looked solemn, this kind of thing was indeed rare.

Even wars between sects and families usually only target the middle and upper classes and will not affect the lower-level cultivators and mortal people.

How great is the hatred that must be put into place to slaughter everyone like this, not even sparing ordinary people?

Ling Changqing seemed to have some sense. Could this sudden change be related to himself?

But he didn't say it out loud, so as to avoid making the girls worry about him again.

The women discussed for a while and then stopped paying attention to it. Events like this involving Nascent Soul and even Divine Transformation forces were not something that Changqingzhou could handle at the moment.

"There is an important matter that I need to discuss with you, my husband!"

Ling Qiyue looked at Ling Changqing beside her and said with a smile.

"What is it?"

Ling Changqing instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"There are many young and beautiful female cultivators in those small families and sects that have recently surrendered!"

Tang Qiuyao explained: "Their spiritual roots are decent, and as long as the family is willing to invest resources in their cultivation, they should all be able to become cultivators in the middle or even late stages of Qi training in the future!

If they can have the help of you, the son of luck, then their expected future achievements can at least be raised to a higher level, right? At least successfully building a foundation is not a problem!"

"so what?"

Ling Changqing continued to play dumb.

Qin Yun said coquettishly: "So my husband, you are going to choose a concubine again! Whoever you like, take her into the harem!"

Ling Qiyue suppressed her smile and said, "The more capable you are, the more work you should do. In order to grow the family's power as quickly as possible, my husband, please work harder, right?"

"Well, well..."

Ling Changqing pondered.

In fact, there is not much to choose from. Only children do multiple-choice questions, and I am no longer a child!
