Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 191 Stay Calm and Don’t Go Wandering
The family headquarters, Dan Palace.

Ling Yuzhu, wearing a dress as white as snow, with curved dark eyebrows and an intellectual and bookish air, stood at the door, gazing at the azure blue sky with her bright eyes.

Qin Yun, who was beautiful, wearing a black palace dress, and had a jade-like face as charming as a fox, stood beside her and asked with a sweet smile:

"Sister, have you figured out anything?"

Ling Yuzhu smiled, retracted her gaze, and said in a soft voice:

"It's nothing, it's just that the fortune of our Changqing Continent seems to be getting stronger and stronger, more than doubled compared to before the war!"

Originally, with Ling Changqing around, the luck of the Ling family in Changqingzhou had been steadily increasing. However, the great victory in this war obviously benefited the Ling family a lot, so that their luck was further improved.

Qin Yun smiled slightly: "That's for sure. As long as my husband is here, our Changqingzhou will definitely become stronger and stronger in the future!"

"Well, let's go in and see what good things my husband has brought back."

Ling Yuzhu said this and pulled Qin Yun into the Alchemy Hall.

In the spacious hall, the top-grade magic weapon, the Shuoyue Qingyang Furnace, has been placed in the central area. In the future, Ling Changqing and his confidantes will use it to refine various elixirs.

The higher the grade of the alchemy furnace, the higher the success rate, quality, efficiency and number of pills produced will be.

Even though he and Ling Qiyue cannot fully unleash the power of this top-grade magical furnace now, they can still benefit greatly from it.

As for the newly subdued Jindan Zhenren Liu Chengbin, he was sitting quietly in the corner, waiting for the order from his master Ling Changqing.

For Ling Changqing, this can be said to be the most valuable gain in this war.

Originally, in the eyes of outsiders, the Ling family now only had Ling Qiyue, the only Jindan Zhenren, and Fu Yinxue's identity could not be revealed for the time being.

Xue Qingtan is from the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce, and Meng Feiyu is from the Xianyin Pavilion. On the surface, they both seem to have no relationship with the Ling family.

But now, after Liu Chengbin changed his appearance, Ling Qiyue gave him the status of a lifelong guest official. He can appear in public in the future and legitimately become the family's high-end combat force.

The strategic significance of one Jindan Zhenren and two Jindan Zhenren to a family is completely different, and it can avoid the high risk of the family's rise and fall and safety depending on one person.

This means that the Ling family of Changqingzhou will have significantly increased their control over the entire Feiyu Sea area, and their potential deterrent to the outside world will be simultaneously enhanced. The benefits are self-evident.

Moreover, from now on, the Ling family basically no longer needs to purchase medicinal resources below the third level. As long as Ling Qiyue can get the raw materials and recipes, she can basically refine them by herself.

At this moment, accompanied by a slight crackling sound, the restriction on another storage bag was wiped out by the women working together, turning into colorful streams of light and dissipating.

Ling Changqing reached into the storage bag, took out all the items inside, and placed them on the ground one by one to organize and classify them.

Ling Zhiqing, Ling Xueyu, Ling Bingyun, Ling Yulu, Fu Yinxue and other girls were all present, helping to break the restrictions on those storage instruments.

At this time, the interior of the hall had become a temporary warehouse, with all kinds of medicine bottles, talismans, magic tools, spiritual tools and jade slips, spiritual stones and herbs scattered all over the floor.

These are the spoils brought back by Ling Changqing and the girls. They killed so many disciples of the Haoyue Sect, including many real and fake elixir masters, and there are also a lot of foundation-building cultivators. Their wealth must not be bad.

Tang Qiuyao held a blank jade slip and joyfully counted the quantity and types of resources and registered them.

The final statistics surprised Ling Qiyue and Fu Yinxue. The spirit stones of different grades alone were piled up into several small mountains.

In the storage bag left by the Nascent Soul ancestor, Ling Changqing also found more than two hundred crystal clear, spiritual, and neatly cut and polished high-quality spirit stones.

The collection of the Yuanying Patriarch is quite rich, with a large number of various spiritual medicines and herbs, mainly second- and third-grade ones, including dozens of the most precious and rare fourth-grade spiritual medicines and herbs.

Then there were various food ingredients, spiritual gold and spiritual ore, spiritual beast skins, inner elixir materials, etc., which were also piled up into several small hills.

As for the finished pills and talismans, there were very few left, and it was estimated that they had been consumed in previous wars.

However, Ling Changqing still found a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills, which contained fifteen pills in total. These pills should be what the Nascent Soul Patriarch usually used to reward his lower-level disciples.

Even though the Ling family no longer lacks resources for foundation-building pills, this wealth still cannot be ignored.

"Not bad, it's worth at least a few hundred mid-grade spirit stones."

Ling Changqing muttered to himself that the foundation-building resources that the low-level independent cultivators had been striving for all their lives were just pocket money in the eyes of the Nascent Soul masters.

There are dozens of different jade books, animal skin scrolls, paper books, and rare secret scrolls, which record the most important skills and magical powers inherited by Haoyue Sect.

Ling Changqing looked through it and found that most of the books were of middle and lower grade Xuan level martial arts, and there was not a single book of upper grade Xuan level martial arts.

Ling Changqing has talked with Liu Chengbin several times, and combined with the memories from the Nascent Soul ancestor, it can be confirmed that among the many Nascent Soul-level forces in Yaozhou, the Haoyue Sect can only be regarded as the bottom one.

After all, this sect used to be only at the level of a senior Jindan force. It was not until more than 700 years ago that the first Yuanying Zhenjun was born, and there has always been only one Yuanying Zhenjun in charge of the sect.

Of course, no matter how weak the Nascent Soul force is, it cannot be compared with the Golden Core force, so these martial arts manuals undoubtedly come too timely for the Ling family.

In Ling Changqing's eyes, compared to financial resources, these martial arts manuals are actually the most precious gains. After all, they represent the core inheritance of a major force.

He has decided to store these books in the family's reward hall. In the future, any member of the Ling family whose meritorious contributions have reached a certain standard can read and practice these skills and magical powers.

Together with the various financial resources contributed by other cultivators, the final amount converted into nearly a thousand high-quality spirit stones.

In addition, there are nine well-preserved magical weapons, seventeen magical weapons that are less damaged and can be repaired. As for the spiritual weapons and magical weapons of various levels that have been seized, the number is even greater.

Ling Qiyue looked around and picked out the two best magic weapons and gave them to Ling Changqing, saying softly:

"My husband, your current cultivation level is not far from the golden elixir, and you can almost use this, so just keep it for now."

"Ok."

Ling Changqing took it with satisfaction, and performed a ritual to recognize it as his master on the spot.

It was a set of purple-gold soft armor that shone brightly and was as light as a feather, and its defensive power was considerable.

There is also a slender flying sword that is completely blue like crystal, with the shadow of a sea of ​​clouds and a dragon looming inside.

Qinghong Armor and Yunjiao Sword.

These two first-grade magic weapons are treasures from the Nascent Soul Ancestor’s collection, and both are in perfect condition.

Magical weapons can usually only be activated by cultivators who have reached the Jindan stage. Although Ling Changqing has not yet reached the Jindan stage, his magic power is pure and powerful, far exceeding that of ordinary fake or real dan cultivators, so this is not a big problem.

Then, Ling Qiyue asked Fu Yinxue, Xue Qingtan, and Meng Feiyu to choose a magic weapon and a third-level storage magic weapon respectively.

Tang Qiuyao, Qin Yun, Ling Yuzhu and other Taoist companions in the Foundation Establishment Stage each received two spiritual weapons and a second-level storage bag as rewards.

As for the martial arts manuals, all the ladies present can observe and practice freely. As for the resources such as elixirs, talismans, spirit stones, etc., they can also share some of them as appropriate.

Of course, most of the resources are controlled by Ling Changqing and Ling Qiyue. After all, they have made the greatest contributions on the battlefield.

Next, Ling Qiyue began to discuss with Xue Qingtan and Meng Feiyu how to deal with this batch of resources and expand the family's trade procurement.

Ling Changqing was listening on the side and would occasionally interrupt to express his attitude.

With this windfall, the family's plan to train new personnel can be significantly accelerated.

After ten or eight years, you can select a batch of suitable fairy seedlings from the public and bring them back to your family for further cultivation.

One of the key reasons for the growth and development of an emerging force is the continuous replenishment of fresh blood.

It didn't take long for the three women to basically reach an agreement. After all, they were all serving the same man, so it was not difficult for them to talk to each other.

Ling Changqing and Ling Qiyue have no use for those most precious fourth-level materials now, and it is also inappropriate to sell them to the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, Ling Changqing decided to seal it first, and it would come in handy when Ling Qiyue was promoted to the Nascent Soul True Lord in the future.

"...By the way, do you think it's possible that the cultivators from the Yunhe Sword Sect will come to visit us in the future?"

Ling Changqing suddenly turned around and asked Liu Chengbin.

The Jindan Zhenren who had remained silent opened his eyes and said respectfully:

"Master, the Yunhe Sword Sect is far away in Yaozhou. It is unlikely that they can chase us to the Feiyu Sea near Yuzhou..."

In the previous war, although the Yunhe Sword Sect defeated the Haoyue Sect and won the sect war, the price was also not small. There are two Yuanying Zhenjun in this sect, one of whom was seriously injured in the war and is currently recuperating in seclusion, and the other needs to stay in the important place of the mountain gate and cannot go out easily.

Therefore, for the top leaders of the Yunhe Sword Sect, it is not easy to make the decision to continue hunting down the remaining forces of the Haoyue Sect.

At least in the next few decades, it is unlikely that they will come looking.

"That's good!"

Ling Changqing nodded: "From now on, you will go to Yulong Island to take charge. You are not allowed to leave without orders. The monks stationed there can also be under your command. Do you understand?"

The territory of Yulong Island is large enough, with a radius of more than 40,000 miles. There is a large third-level spiritual vein on the island, which can accommodate multiple Jindan cultivators to stay and practice at the same time. It can also be used as the base of a Jindan force.

Even for the current Changqingzhou, this is still a precious land that cannot be ignored. It is a territory that the Ling family must defend and manage well.

"Yes, Master."

Liu Chengbin agreed without hesitation.

Ling Changqing nodded with satisfaction. He didn't want any other high-level male cultivators to stay in the family headquarters. Even if the other party would not betray him, it would be more appropriate to keep them outside.

After giving a few more instructions, Liu Chengbin said goodbye and left. Anyway, since he had the jade map, he was not worried about getting lost at all.

After storing all the resources on the ground into the space magic weapon, Ling Qiyue decided to call another meeting of the family's top leaders to make adjustments to certain development plans.

Ling Changqing returned to his own training room, intending to digest what he had gained from this battle and prepare for the breakthrough to the Golden Core True Person realm.

Xue Qingtan has already agreed to use his connections within the Chamber of Commerce to purchase Dan-forming resources for Ling Changqing. I think there will be good news soon.

Speaking of which, it has not yet reached the prescribed period since the Ling family last purchased Dan-forming resources, so it is very difficult to purchase again.

Usually, this is only possible if certain conditions are met or the price is significantly increased.

Of course, with Xue Qingtan's help, it is not difficult to solve this problem. Even if he has to pay a higher price, Ling Changqing doesn't care. He doesn't lack spirit stones at all.

In the training room.

Ling Changqing activated all the restrictions of the formation, and then sat down on the cold jade cloud bed in the middle.

The divine mind sank into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, and the majestic and majestic Era Star Palace, shrouded in the aura of Tao, stood tall.

The charming and graceful Gong Ling came forward, hugged him and kissed him with a smile.

"Master...do you need to practice dual cultivation now?"

After a while of tenderness, she rode on Ling Changqing and asked with a smile.

Ling Changqing was speechless. He looked at her and said, "Can you practice dual cultivation now?"

"cannot,"

Gong Ling shook her head: "We still have to wait a long time! At least until you break through the Nascent Soul Realm, and my body recovers to a certain degree."

"There will be a day like that,"

Ling Changqing smiled and said, "I have benefited a lot from this battle. I want to improve my auxiliary skills. What do you think?"

Gong Ling said: "Of course there is no problem with this. Master, which one do you plan to improve?"

A number with a mysterious and unpredictable aura of Taoism emerged:
[Lord of the Era Star Palace: Ling Changqing]

【Bone age: 40/385+70】

【Cultivation: Peak of Foundation Building】

【Luck:151+317】

【Fortune: 145+266】

The increase in lifespan was gained by the Era Star Palace devouring the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Haoyue Sect. Even if it was only a Nascent Soul that had suffered a severe injury, the benefits were extraordinary.

Later, Ling Changqing obtained a special forbidden method to control spirit beasts and combat pets, and successfully turned Liu Chengbin into his own slave thug, spending thirty years of his life for this.

Moreover, Ling Changqing's luck and fortune have also increased significantly, because his overall strength has been improved.

"If I choose to improve my Dan Dao level, how many years of life will it take?"

Ling Changqing asked. He was now a mid-level second-grade alchemist and had accumulated more than half of his experience, not far from reaching the upper-level second-grade level.

"a hundred years."

Gong Ling replied.

If there is no experience accumulated, the lifespan required to advance from a second-level intermediate-grade alchemist to a second-level upper-grade alchemist is two hundred years.

"If you want to become a third-level lower-grade alchemist, wouldn't it take more than three hundred years?"

Ling Changqing asked with a frown.

"Yes, but you don't need to mind it, Master. Anyway, your life span can be restored by killing monsters and sacrificing inner elixir."

Gong Ling explained with a smile.

Ling Changqing pondered for a while and said, "Then let's first raise our Dan Dao level to the second-level upper grade?"

"Ok."

Gong Ling agreed.

Immediately, Ling Changqing discovered that the Epoch Star Palace was shining brightly, and countless mysterious and obscure insights into alchemy poured into his sea of ​​consciousness and merged with his soul.

【Bone age: 40/355】

[Dan Dao: 2/30000 (Second-level upper grade)]

Ling Changqing pondered for a few breaths, and simply said: "Then spend another thirty years of your life to raise your talisman skills to the first-class upper level?"

Anyway, I am not far from the Golden Core True Person realm. By then, my lifespan will not only be restored but can be further improved. There is nothing to worry about.

"As you wish, Master."

Gong Ling agreed.

So after a moment, Ling Changqing's level of talisman skills reached the first-class level as he wished.

【Shouyuan: 40/325】

[Dan Dao: 2/30000 (Second-level upper grade)]

[Talisman: 2/30000 (First-class superior)]

Although both are 30,000 experience points, the difficulty of accumulation is not at the same level at all.

Ling Changqing took a look at it and felt quite satisfied. Even with the remaining lifespan, it was still higher than that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, and it could still be recovered.

"For the next period of time, I plan to..."

Before Ling Changqing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gong Ling: "Master, you should stay at home for a few more years and don't go out casually."

Stay safe...don't waste time.

This is Gong Ling’s advice to Ling Changqing.

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Ling Changqing agreed.
