Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 186: Wandering Sect
Fu Yinxue's secret joining means that the Ling family in Changqingzhou has one more Jindan Zhenren in charge.

If she had felt somewhat apprehensive and helpless when she came to him before, now after meeting Ling Changqing, she no longer had any concerns.

As long as he is around, my future is guaranteed, and other problems are no longer so important.

There is no war in the Feiyu Sea area now. After careful consideration, Ling Qiyue decided to arrange Fu Yinxue to teach and instruct the newcomers to relieve Ling Changqing's worries.

Fu Yinxue gladly accepted it. With her level of Jindan Zhenren, it would be a waste of her talent to instruct a group of new students who were in the early stage of Qi training.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and a year passes quietly in the peaceful life.

Under the principle of keeping their identities secret and developing in a low profile, the top leaders of the Ling family basically no longer go out, and even if they do go out, they will not leave the Feiyu Sea area.

External resource trade is mainly conducted through the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce branch and the Xianyin Pavilion branch, and of course there are some ordinary foreign trading organizations.

With a large amount of cultivation resources entering the family storehouse, and Ling Changqing and Fu Yinxue's dedicated teaching, the Ling family's new talent training program progressed quite smoothly.

On average, a new foundation-building cultivator will be born in the family about every four or five months, and the number of cultivators in the late stage of Qi training will also increase by several.

For an old Jindan force, this speed can be considered average, but the Ling family is only a new Jindan force, and it can achieve such a performance, which can be said to be quite outstanding.

Moreover, as time goes by, Ling Changqing is confident that he can further improve the training efficiency. Under the premise of sufficient resource supply, perhaps a foundation-building cultivator can appear in three months?
If nothing unexpected happens, in another twenty to thirty years, the shortcomings of the Ling family's insufficient foundation-building combat power will be made up, and a certain number of fake Dan Zhenren will be born.

Anyway, Ling Qiyue is not in a hurry. Half of ambition is patience. For the Jindan forces, a mere twenty or thirty years is nothing.

On this day, Ling Changqing went to the deep ocean to practice as usual, accompanied by Xue Qingtan and Tang Qiuyao.

To practice water-based skills, the deep ocean environment is naturally the most suitable place, especially for high-level skills like Taixuan Cangming Roushui Jue.

Three hundred feet deep in the sea, Ling Changqing sat on a dark reef. A pale silver light curtain enveloped his body, dispelling the heavy pressure of the sea water.

This is one of the water-controlling magical powers derived from the Taixuan Cangming Roushui Jue, which can extract the essence of sunflower water to form a tough protective shield.

Outside the shield, the cold sea water rapidly swirled around Ling Changqing, forming a huge vortex with a diameter of dozens of feet.

From time to time, wisps of faint light emerged from the depths of the vortex, like a hundred birds flying into the forest, and merged into Ling Changqing's body.

The faint light is the mysterious water essence in the ocean, which has the magical effect of moistening and nourishing all things.

This is the method of practicing Taixuan Cangming Roushui Jue. The higher the realm, the larger the diameter of the vortex, and the more mysterious water essence can be absorbed and refined per unit time.

As drops of the mysterious water essence merged into Ling Changqing's body, his internal organs, meridians, bone marrow, and even his entire spirit were undergoing a slow transformation.

This kind of transformation and sublimation comes from the inside out, and is a rebirth of the essence of life. When it is cultivated to the highest level, it is said that the magical power can be comparable to those of the ancient water gods in the legend.

Ling Changqing didn't think that far ahead. He was just following the steps and trying to reach the Golden Core True Person realm as soon as possible.

The huge whirlpool gave off an invisible pressure, driving the fish and sea beasts in the surrounding water far away. No ferocious creature dared to approach and cause trouble.

In the distance, Xue Qingtan and Tang Qiuyao, who were acting as protectors, stood by quietly, communicating silently with their spiritual thoughts:

"...Our husband's cultivation is improving really fast!"

"Of course, with the background of the Son of Luck, the Jindan Zhenren realm is nothing, right? I am looking forward to the day when he breaks through the Yuanying Zhenjun realm."

"Well... even if there is no bottleneck, the time required will not be too short, right? A hundred or eighty years is always necessary!"

"Almost the same. Take those Jindan Zhenren out there as an example. Even if everything goes well, it usually takes two to three hundred years to complete the accumulation!"

Tang Qiuyao was silent for a moment. Thanks to her continuous and unremitting dual cultivation with Ling Changqing, her cultivation level has now reached the peak of foundation building.

However, if you want to reach the Golden Core True Person realm, you will probably have to wait a while.

She now had a premonition that it would not be so easy to catch up with Ling Changqing in the future, but at least she could ensure that she would not be left too far behind.

As for Xue Qingtan, although she has only been promoted to the Golden Core Real Person for a short time, judging from the speed at which her cultivation is improving, she will probably catch up with Ling Qiyue's level sooner or later.

This is not surprising. After all, he is the reincarnation of a powerful being. Even if he has lost his cultivation and memories from his previous life, it is easier for him to start over than for most cultivators.

At this time, Ling Changqing was communicating with the Era Star Palace in his body.

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

【Bone age: 40/385】

Several years have passed since I returned, and the several major skills I practiced have improved to varying degrees.

Taixuan Cangming Roushui Jue and Longxiang Fanluofutu Sutra have already reached the second level, but the level of alchemy is still a long way from the second-level upper grade.

The main reason was that there were too many things to do, especially teaching that group of female students, which took up a lot of time, so that Ling Changqing's own cultivation progress slowed down.

Otherwise, if he concentrated on practicing in seclusion, he felt that he could still improve a lot. At least it would not be a problem for him to become a first-class mid-grade talisman master, and a second-class upper-grade alchemist.

Of course, the benefits of continuously practicing dual cultivation with Ling Qiyue, Xue Qingtan and others in improving one's cultivation are also obvious.

After a long time, as Ling Changqing slowly stopped practicing, the huge whirlpool around him quietly disappeared, and the surrounding seabed returned to calm.

"...Master, why don't you try sacrificing your lifespan? Otherwise, this speed is a bit slow."

Gong Ling's sweet and soft voice sounded.

What she was talking about was the option of letting Ling Changqing sacrifice part of his lifespan in exchange for some improvement in his artistic skills.

For example, if one has ten years of life, one can raise the talisman level to the first-class middle grade, and if one spends another twenty years, one can raise it to the first-class upper grade. If one is a second-class lower grade talisman master, it is estimated that one will need to spend more than fifty years of life.

Alchemists, formation masters, weapon refiners, and those who know the art of divination and numerology...all the arts of cultivating immortals can be rapidly improved through such means.

But the amount of life that would be consumed would be too much, and Ling Changqing had no reason to do so, so he did not consider accepting it.

"There's no need to rush this,"

Ling Changqing said: "Just practice slowly now, and wait until you need it in the future!"

"Ok."

Gong Ling did not continue to persuade him. After all, she was only responsible for giving suggestions and the decision was still made by Ling Changqing himself.

After the communication, Ling Changqing finally opened his eyes and slowly stood up.

"Husband, is this the end?"

Tang Qiuyao leaned over and spoke with a smile.

Ling Changqing nodded: "Let's stop here today and go back."

Xue Qingtan agreed, and the two women held his arms, one on the left and one on the right, and floated out of the sea together.

After returning to the sea off Changqing Island, Xue Qingtan suddenly discovered that a large fleet of Tianzhou ships was hovering in the air a hundred miles away.

There are hundreds of inky black Tianzhou ships in the team, each of which is more than a hundred feet long. In addition, there are some smaller ships guarding the periphery.

There were figures standing on the front decks of some ships, most of whom were in the late stage of Qi training and foundation building.

These Tianzhou ships have all opened their thick protective light curtains, and there is a sky-blue full moon emblem on the bow.

"...Where did this fleet come from? It doesn't look like a force from Yuzhou."

Xue Qingtan said solemnly.

Ling Changqing took a quick look. Although he didn't know the other party's identity, these Tianzhou ships made him feel very uncomfortable.

Tang Qiuyao looked at the communication jade talisman on her wrist and said softly:

"It seems they have sent an envoy to visit us. Senior Sister is meeting with them now. Should we go back and take a look?"

"Ok."

Ling Changqing agreed, and the three of them piloted the flying boat towards the family headquarters.

In the family meeting hall.

Ling Qiyue, wearing a bright yellow phoenix palace gown embroidered with the sun, moon, stars and cloud patterns, sat in the main seat with a blank expression on her face.

At the jade steps below, an old man in a gorgeous black robe and with a big beard was talking nonstop:

"…We in the Haoyue Sect don’t ask for much. We just need a small island as a place to live. Of course, an island with a second- or third-level spiritual vein would be best!
As long as you agree, we will present you with generous gifts, and we will serve the Ling family as our master in the future, sharing life and death, honor and disgrace..."

He talked a lot, but Ling Qiyue's eyes were calm, without any emotion fluctuations. The elders of the Ling family around her were also silent.

The envoy of Haoyue Sect came to visit with a simple request, which was to ask the Ling family to rent them an island as a place for their disciples to live.

Want to lease an island territory? This is no small matter, and no force will give in easily.

Especially now the Feiyu Sea area is under-guarded. Once this gap is opened, giving the other side a chance to figure out our strength, it goes without saying what fatal things will happen next.

In the past history, such examples of the guest becoming the host and the cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest are not uncommon.

With the sound of light footsteps, Ling Changqing hurried in, surrounded by the girls, and sat down beside the high platform.

Seeing him appear, Ling Qiyue's beautiful eyes showed a little more smile, and she told him the whole story through telepathic communication.

The Haoyue Sect was originally a Nascent Soul force from Yaozhou, which was close to Yuzhou. There was a Nascent Soul True Lord in charge of the sect, and more than a dozen Golden Core True Lords.

Decades ago, the Haoyue Sect went to war with its arch-enemy, the Yunhe Sword Sect, and was defeated, resulting in the only Nascent Soul True Lord being seriously injured and killed.

Most of the remaining Jindan and Zhendan cultivators in Haoyue Sect were killed or wounded in the war, and even the important mountain gate was breached.

The last few elders, along with a group of surviving disciples, hurriedly took away a lot of property and resources and fled. After several twists and turns, they finally escaped to Yuzhou.

After the victorious Yunhe Sword Sect annexed the territory of Haoyue Sect, it still did not give up hunting down these remnants and sent out several waves of forces to pursue them.

Therefore, the last team of Haoyue Sect had to continue to run away. After years of escape, they finally got rid of the pursuers not long ago.

Now, everyone in the sect is exhausted and urgently needs to find a suitable place to live and recover.

It just so happened that the Feiyu Sea was vast enough and contained many islands with blessed spiritual veins, which was why they took a fancy to it.

"Absolutely not agree to that!"

Ling Changqing made a choice immediately. If he gave in to this matter, there would be no peace forever.

No matter how many islands there are in the Feiyu Sea, they would rather be abandoned there than given to outsiders.

"My husband is right. I think so too."

Ling Qiyue nodded slightly, looked at the bearded old man, and said in a cold tone:

"Fellow Daoist Yu Li, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. Every inch of our Ling family's territory was earned with the blood and lives of our family members. There is absolutely no reason to give it to outsiders!
So, please go back, you are not welcome here!"

Master Li's expression changed slightly, but he still said without giving up:

"But, our Haoyue Sect is sincerely submitting to us, Patriarch, won't you consider it..."

"see a visitor out!"

Ling Qiyue was too lazy to continue talking to him, so she waved her hand and gave orders.

A group of foundation-building monks walked in and stood silently beside Master Li.

The bearded old man's face turned pale and blue, and a flash of anger flashed across his eyes.

After weighing each other's strength, this guy in the middle stage of the Golden Core finally did not dare to say anything harsh, and turned around and left silently with his two followers.

The Ling family monks who were in charge of escorting them followed them until they entered the Tianzhou ship, and then kept watch on them from a distance.

In the boudoir's embroidery building, Ling Changqing had already told Ling Qiyue about his ominous premonition.

"...That is to say, the origins of these guys are definitely not as simple as they say!"

Ling Changqing finally said: "From our perspective, we might as well regard them as a vicious robbery group."

Fu Yinxue said softly, "My husband is right. We really can't let our guard down. These guys didn't succeed on the surface, so I guess they will turn hostile and attack us next!"

Ling Qiyue nodded and said, "Arrange capable personnel to monitor the Tianzhou fleet day and night, and report any unusual movements immediately."

If the other party has bad intentions, the top leaders of the Ling family must plan ahead and be prepared for war.
