Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 185 The Taoist Companion Who Came to Visit

When the break was over, the female students walked into the inner garden flower hall in groups of three or five and returned to their seats.

"...Eh? Where's that girl Han You?"

Sitting on the golden cloud sandalwood chair, Xiao Meiniang blinked her bright eyes and looked around, and found that Yang Yunfei and Chen Zihan had both returned, but Li Hanyou's seat was still empty.

"She's always missing, who knows where she's been?"

Yang Yunfei pursed her lips and said unhappily that she had noticed this during the break.

That vixen relied on her good looks to hang around her master every day, trying to please him shamelessly. It was simply...

But I look much better than her, so I must be the Master’s favorite student, Yang Yunfei thought to herself.

Xiao Meiniang narrowed her eyes and smiled meaningfully, "She must have gone to ask Master for advice on cultivation, right? After all, she is very diligent and hardworking."

Chen Zihan, who was still innocent, smiled slightly: "Isn't this a good thing? Shunzun dotes on her so much and is willing to give her more guidance. I think her achievements will be higher in the future."

"You are quite open-minded."

Xiao Meiniang rolled her eyes at her. This was not just a matter of cultivation, but also related to her own...

But this girl is still young enough that she doesn't understand the seriousness of the problem. In another year or two, she should know it.

"How about... we secretly follow her together next time?"

Chen Zihan rolled her eyes and suggested quietly.

She also wanted to see what Li Hanyou was doing. Was he really going to ask his master for advice? Or...

"Good idea! Is it settled then?"

Xiao Meiniang's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and she immediately had an idea.

Yang Yunfei nodded, and silently added in her heart: "In fact, I can guess without saying it, that slut must have seduced Master..."

However, since Chen Zihan is around, it’s hard to be too blunt about this matter.

While the three women were talking, Li Hanyou finally appeared outside the flower hall.

She has now changed back into a more conservative snow-white Taoist robe. Her face is now dignified and bright, and the seductive transparent cheongsam is no longer visible.

But Xiao Meiniang, who had a sharp eye, had already noticed that there was a hint of lust between the brows of this slut, and her eyes were full of water. Perhaps something unspeakable had happened when she was alone with her master?
Sure enough, I knew it!
Xiao Meiniang's face turned slightly cold, and she gritted her teeth in her heart. This shameless vixen had really seduced their master behind their backs.

Yang Yunfei beside him also reacted, staring at Li Hanyou with cold eyes, and said indifferently:

"Junior Sister Li, did you sleep well last night?"

"???"

Li Hanyou looked at her in confusion: "Last night? I don't understand what you are talking about, Senior Sister Yang?"

"Haha, I've made it clear!"

Yang Yunfei sneered: "It must be nice to sleep with the master, right?"

"..."

No matter how slow Li Hanyou was, he realized at this moment that Senior Sister Yang was jealous.

She snorted and responded with a half-smile: "I would like to, but it's a pity that Master won't give me a chance! He always says I'm still young... Why don't you give it a try, Senior Sister?"

"Come on, do you think everyone is like you?"

Yang Yunfei rolled her eyes at her.

But in my heart, I was thinking about asking Tang Qiuyao, Qin Yun and other sisters for advice someday to see what kind of preferences my master has.

Xiao Meiniang originally wanted to say something, but when she saw Ling Changqing appear at the door, she immediately sat up straight, with her graceful back straight.

Although Li Hanyou was sitting upright, his watery peach blossom eyes were still restless and he threw a flirtatious glance at Ling Changqing.

"Okay, now I will explain the new Qi training formula to you..."

As Ling Changqing spoke, his eyes inadvertently swept across Li Hanyou's pretty figure.

After being served by this girl just now, Ling Changqing's steps were a little unsteady. He had to admit that this girl was a natural reincarnation of a succubus. That feeling was really awesome...

In fact, Tang Qiuyao had hinted before that if necessary, these girls could be taken away to the rooms in advance to avoid other people's worries.

However, Ling Changqing always felt that they were still young and there was no need to be too anxious.

The truth was, he was already a little overwhelmed from accompanying his fellow Taoists in practice every night.

If four new comers who have tasted the sweetness of life come and join hands to exploit him, how will he be able to survive?

In any case, we have to wait a while. Once we reach the Golden Core Realm in the future and our physical strength and endurance have improved, we can consider taking in new people.

But then again, with more Taoist partners practicing dual cultivation, Ling Changqing's cultivation level will indeed improve faster, and the same is true for them.

So this is a mutually beneficial choice, provided that Ling Changqing's physique can withstand it.

……

In the boudoir embroidery building.

Ling Qiyue, wearing a light golden dress and with her hair tied up high, was looking through the roster of monks in her family. The phoenix-wing golden hairpin on her hair swayed slightly, creating gorgeous light and shadow.

Tang Qiuyao, with her skirt as white as snow and her graceful figure, hurried in from outside. Her beautiful face was slightly flushed and her bright eyes were shining.

"Where did this come from?"

Ling Qiyue raised her head slightly and glanced at her.

Tang Qiuyao twisted her waist and sat down on the golden silk sandalwood chair covered with silk satin cushions with her plump, full-moon-like body.

After taking the teacup from the maid and taking a sip, the beautiful lady said leisurely:

"I just went to the northwest of Changqing Island for a tour. The family monks discovered a silica sand copper mine on the affiliated island there. The reserves are not bad, right?"

Silica copper is a second-grade, top-grade spiritual ore. It is an important material for creating Taoist puppets. It can also be used to refine certain spiritual weapons. It is a resource in high demand.

Ling Qiyue's beautiful eyes showed a hint of joy: "If that's the case, then let's register and arrange for people to go and mine it?"

Tang Qiuyao nodded, then shook her head: "But the family headquarters really doesn't have enough manpower, so let's wait a little longer!"

The Ling family currently has limited available manpower, but the Feiyu Sea area is large enough.

Even if we take into account those independent cultivators recruited in the past and those who surrendered, it is still a bit difficult to completely control such a large territory.

Mining is the most labor-intensive activity. There are now hundreds of newly opened mines in Changqing Island and surrounding islands.

Each mine requires at least thousands of mortal miners, plus a small number of monks, to ensure normal operation.

In Tang Qiuyao's eyes, it is good enough to maintain the status quo for now. If the stall is expanded any bigger, she will not be able to take care of it.

At least in the next ten to twenty years, the situation of insufficient number of Ling family cultivators will be difficult to change fundamentally.

"Okay, let's seal up that vein first. If we make similar discoveries in the future, we'll basically handle it the same way."

Ling Qiyue sighed. Her previous worry was that her family had limited financial resources and was stretched thin everywhere, making it impossible to implement many of her plans.

Now that the family business is too big, the troubles that come with it will also be inevitable.

"Can we recruit another group of independent cultivators from outside?"

Tang Qiuyao pondered for a while and whispered a suggestion. Ling Qiyue thought about it and shook her head to reject it: "It's not appropriate. The changes in the situation in Feiyu Sea are not widely known yet. It's better to play it safe!"

The top forces in Yuzhou will definitely look down upon the Feiyu Sea area, but the same cannot be said for the old-fashioned Jindan forces.

For example, for a force that has more than a dozen Jindan Zhenren and a large number of Zhendan and Fakedan cultivators, the Feiyu Sea is still quite attractive to them.

That's why Ling Qiyue doesn't want to cause trouble, and her main focus is to be steady and low-key and develop slowly.

Tang Qiuyao thought about it and agreed, so she no longer insisted on her opinion.

A moment later, with the pleasant sound of jingling jewelry, Meng Feiyu, with a long trailing dress and a beautiful face, walked in slowly.

"Sister, my husband's side should be almost over, right?"

The beautiful lady spoke with her eyes moving and a sweet smile.

Tang Qiuyao nodded and said, "It's almost done. Let's ask him to come over and have dinner together later."

Wherever Ling Changqing is, Qin Yun, Ling Bingyun, Ling Yulu and other girls will definitely not be absent and must be there together.

As for what to do after dinner, there is no need to explain in detail. Those who understand will understand.

"By the way, the sect's special envoy has already left. It will probably be several years before he comes back."

As Meng Feiyu was speaking, her uncle did not stay long. After conveying the order from the top management of Xianyin Pavilion, he hurriedly left.

"That's fine."

Ling Qiyue felt a little relieved, thinking that Meng Feiyu had played a significant role in this.

At this time, at the coastal port on the east side of Changqing Island, an ocean-going ship several dozen feet long slowly entered the dock.

On the wide front deck, Fu Yinxue, dressed in a black Taoist robe and in disguise, stood by the railing, looking at the bustling city scene in front of him with complicated eyes.

It has been quite some time since Hanyuezhou's drastic changes and I luckily escaped that catastrophe.

During this period, Fu Yinxue remained anonymous and hid in the territories of different small forces, and he never stayed in each place for more than three days.

Until now, as the rumors gradually died down and the eyes of many major forces were no longer focused on this matter, Fu Yinxue slowly put his mind at ease.

But hiding like this is not a solution. For the sake of future great undertakings, we must come up with a foolproof plan.

I’m afraid I can’t go back to my previous organization, and Fu Yinxue doesn’t want to go back at all.

After weighing the pros and cons, she thought of her former friend Ling Qiyue, so she decided to come and see her.

"I don't know... How is he doing recently? Has he gotten rid of the entanglement with the dragon princess?"

Fu Yinxue thought silently, if Ling Changqing has returned safely, she should be able to see him this time, right?
After such a long time, she already had some vague guesses about the changes in Hanyuezhou. After all, the organization's intelligence network is not just for show.

Ling Changqing must be the legendary son of destiny, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have attracted the attention of the Dragon Princess and other top powers.

If... a bloody war breaks out in Yuzhou's world of immortal cultivation in the future, it will most likely be because of him.

As the ship docked, Fu Yinxue walked quietly onto the dock and quickly disappeared among the crowd.

In the eyes of others, she looked like an inconspicuous mountain farmer and would not attract much attention.

A few hours later, Fu Yinxue appeared at the family headquarters and asked the cultivator on duty outside to pass on the message that an old friend was visiting.

The Ling family cultivator was somewhat puzzled by this unfamiliar female cultivator, but he still went in to report to Tang Qiuyao.

So after a moment, Fu Yinxue stood in front of Ling Qiyue. Amid the incredulous looks of the girls, she removed her disguise and returned to her true appearance.

"Sister, what are you..."

Ling Qiyue was surprised and happy, her soft voice trembled slightly.

He thought that Hanyuezhou had undergone a drastic change and his old friend had died, but he never expected that he would appear in front of him again today.

"I can only say it's God's will!"

Fu Yinxue sighed, no matter what, she was fortunate to be the only survivor in Hanyue Continent.

Tang Qiuyao next to her thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Sister, what happened in Hanyuezhou...what exactly happened?"

Fu Yinxue shook her head: "I don't know either, maybe it's because of your Taoist partner?"

"..."

Ling Qiyue and Tang Qiuyao looked at each other silently, no longer doubting the cause of the incident.

If it wasn't for Ling Changqing, why would those mysterious forces make such a big fuss?

"Sister, since you don't plan to return to the organization now, what are your plans for the future?"

Ling Qiyue calmed herself down and asked.

Fu Yinxue asked, "If I am willing to join the Ling family, would you be willing to take me in?"

At this time, she didn't know that Ling Changqing had returned. After all, this was a top secret among the top management of the Ling family.

Ling Qiyue was slightly surprised when she heard this, and then she smiled:

"Sister, are you serious? Our family is short of people right now. If you are willing to come, that would be the best!"

Fu Yinxue's current cultivation level is at the early stage of the Golden Core. If she is willing to join the Ling family, it will certainly be a welcome outcome for Ling Qiyue.

"Sister, it's OK if you're willing to take me in!"

Fu Yinxue smiled and said that she had nowhere to go now, so coming to help Ling Qiyue was a good choice.

At this moment, Ling Changqing's gentle and peaceful voice sounded: "Madam, are you busy?"

Soon, in Fu Yinxue's sight, a handsome young man in black with red lips, white teeth and a cold temperament came like the wind and put his arms around Ling Qiyue's smooth and tight waist with ease.

"You, you are Ling Changqing? How did you..."

Fu Yinxue was so shocked that her beautiful eyes widened, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Didn't he say that he was kidnapped by the Dragon Princess? Why is he standing here now?
"The cause and effect of this matter are not complicated."

Ling Qiyue explained with a smile, and rolled her eyes at Ling Changqing.

This guy, didn't he notice there were outsiders present? He just came up and hugged me, really...

Ling Changqing finally saw Fu Yinxue's face clearly at this moment, and for a moment he was also a little bit unbelievable:

"Senior Sister Fu, it's you?"

He thought Fu Yinxue had died in the incident, but he never expected that she was safe and sound. It was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Come to think of it, this beautiful lady was quite nice to him at first.

"I wish you could get away!"

Fu Yinxue heaved a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that God had really treated her well. Not only did she escape death, but she could also see him again.

To be honest, I should have borrowed some of his luck to avoid that catastrophe.

"Sister, this is your home from now on!"

Ling Qiyue said with a smile that with Ling Changqing around, it would be impossible for Fu Yinxue to leave in the future.
