Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 192 Chen Zihan: Serving tea and water, massaging shoulders and legs is my duty
For a moment, Ling Changqing thought about making a concerted effort and raising his level of talisman skills to the second level.

But if you do this, you won't have much time left to live, and if you encounter an unpredictable danger in the future, you may not be able to escape.

Back then in the Dragon Soul Valley, Ling Changqing was able to leave safely under the watchful eyes of many old guys by consuming part of his lifespan.

He weighed the matter for a moment. He still had some demon beasts' inner cores in his storage bag, both second- and third-level ones, which he could take out for sacrifice when necessary.

However, these inner elixirs are also one of the important raw materials used to refine certain elixirs, so they cannot be wasted at will.

"Forget it, let's leave it at that for now!"

Ling Changqing thought that there was no need to rush this matter. At worst, he could go hunt sea beasts when he had time in the future and collect a batch of inner elixirs for sacrifice.

If one's lifespan is sufficient, not only the art of alchemy and talismans, but also the level of refining equipment and formations can be rapidly improved, as well as the art of divination and numerology that he values ​​most.

Cultivating the Hundred Arts of Immortality, it seems that in the future, as long as the skills are useful to you, you can operate them in this way?

But in this case, the lifespan required would be too exaggerated. Ling Changqing felt that perhaps he would only be able to afford it after he became an immortal in the future?
"...Master, there is no need to think too much about things that are too far away."

Gong Ling said that Ling Changqing’s main goal now is to reach the Jindan Zhenren realm as soon as possible, and the next goal is Yuanying Zhenjun.

As for further away, there is no need to consider it now.

"That's right, let's leave it at that for now!"

Ling Changqing focused his mind and soon entered a state of deep enlightenment.

Ling Changqing's retreat this time lasted for more than half a year.

During this period, Ling Qiyue, Tang Qiuyao and other girls were quite concerned about him and came to visit him more than once, including his female students.

The main reason is that as a Taoist companion, the girls are not used to having him warm their bed at night and they cannot improve their cultivation through dual cultivation, so naturally they are not used to it.

On this day, Ling Changqing woke up from a deep state of enlightenment and found that his spirit had reached an unprecedented peak state, and his magic power had improved again.

There is only a thin layer of window paper left before reaching the Jindan realm, and once a breakthrough is made, one will surely achieve a Jindan Zhenren.

To be honest, when Ling Qiyue, Xue Qingtan, Meng Feiyu and others broke through to the Golden Core stage, their accumulation was not as deep as Ling Changqing's.

The main reason was that the martial arts manuals that Ling Changqing practiced were of high enough quality, and with his good luck and extraordinary talent, it was natural for him to achieve higher achievements.

"Let's finish dealing with the accumulated pressure outside first. When I go into seclusion next time, I can consider breaking through..."

Ling Changqing pondered over it, got up from the bed, and closed the formation restrictions one by one.

As the tightly closed door of the training room slowly opened, Xiao Meiniang, Yang Yunfei, Chen Zihan and Li Hanyou, who were chatting outside, turned their heads to look in surprise.

Seeing a familiar figure slowly walking out, the four well-dressed girls rushed forward and hugged him, instantly filling their arms with sweet fragrance and warmth:

“…Master, you finally came out!”

"The disciples are guarding you outside every day!"

"Master, this is too much. Why didn't you take us with you during your retreat?"

"That's right. During the retreat, we can also massage Master's legs and shoulders, and serve him tea and water..."

The four girls' fragrant bodies pressed against him, accusing him with resentful looks.

Ling Changqing smiled and comforted them until they were smiling from ear to ear.

"...It seems that you have not slacked off in the past six months, and your cultivation has improved!"

Ling Changqing examined their internal conditions one by one and spoke with satisfaction.

In the absence of his master, the task of teaching the female disciples fell on Fu Yinxue.

This newly arrived Jindan Zhenren worked hard and his methods of controlling his subordinates were even stricter than Ling Changqing's, and he made these female disciples obedient.

The cultivation levels of the four girls have basically increased by one level. Chen Zihan and Li Hanyou, who were originally just mortal girls, have practiced hard for several years and have now reached the third level of Qi training.

The main reason was that they had outstanding qualifications, and Ling Changqing favored them and often gave them special treatment.

Xiao Meiniang is now at the fifth level of Qi training, and Yang Yunfei is the strongest, currently at the sixth level of Qi training.

As for the more than 150 female disciples, the strongest one is already at the seventh or eighth level of Qi training, and the weakest mortal girls are now almost all at the second level of Qi training.

When it comes to resource supply quotas, neither the Ling family nor Ling Changqing himself have been stingy with these female disciples, which is one of the key reasons for their smooth improvement in cultivation.

If we compare them, the average monthly cultivation resources they get are about three times that of the inner disciples of ordinary Jindan forces. And Xiao Meiniang and her four daughters get even more benefits.

If it were those ordinary Jindan forces, they would never care so much about them.

"Okay, let's go to the inner study and talk, and check your homework."

Ling Changqing looked around and thought that no one else should have received the news of his release yet, so he could take this opportunity to spend some time with the four girls.

Otherwise, when Tang Qiuyao, Qin Yun and other girls heard the news and came, he would not have peace again.

"Okay, let's do it together."

The four girls' beautiful eyes lit up, they blushed and agreed, then surrounded him and left.

In the inner study room filled with sweet fragrance, luxurious and quiet, Li Hanyou, who was walking at the back, locked the door with his backhand.

After Ling Changqing activated the soundproofing barrier, the four girls gathered around him spontaneously.

Ling Changqing sat on the large chair behind the golden sandalwood desk. Chen Zihan, wearing a thin water-red dress and with skin as white as snow, rode on him and said shyly:
"Master, can I also give you a leg massage?"

Ling Changqing hesitated: "You are still young, so there is no rush. You don't actually need to do these things."

After all, the status of female disciples is not higher than those maids and servants, and they don’t need to do these serving chores at all.

Chen Zihan had a pure and bright face, her black and white eyes were charming and flowing, and her voice was sweet and innocent:

"Isn't it natural for a disciple to serve his master? Serving tea and water, massaging his legs and shoulders are also my duties, right?"

The little princess has been enduring for a long time. Just because she is the youngest, Li Hanyou, Xiao Meiniang and Yang Yunfei always keep things secret from her when they come to serve their master.

In the words of our master, it means opening the silver handkerchief without calling me, right?
Chen Zihan was deeply resentful of the fact that the man had eaten all the food without telling her, and she would not give in no matter what.

The charming and seductive Li Hanyou smiled and said in a tender voice:

"Master, please let Sister Zi Han serve you for once. She has been preparing for a long time!"

"Then...okay!"

After looking at the little princess's already sizable mind, Ling Changqing finally agreed.

Chen Zihan then turned her anger into joy, hugged Ling Changqing and kissed him, then slid her slender and beautiful body off him and tucked under the table, lowered her head, and began to massage his legs carefully...

The three daughters, Xiao Meiniang, with blushing faces, snuggled up to Ling Changqing, telling him about their progress in cultivation and waiting patiently.

After the first time, they now understand that the inspiration and Taoist rhyme of the Son of Luck is as good as any resources they have used before, and has no side effects.

Of course, this key secret could not be known by anyone other than Ling Changqing’s fellow Taoists who had a close relationship with him.

So now, the four girls who have tasted the sweetness are so enthusiastic and want to stick to Ling Changqing whenever they have the chance.

Anyway, as long as I serve him well, my future will be guaranteed.

After a moment, Chen Zihan coughed a few times in embarrassment, and hurriedly fumbled out a snow-white silk scarf to wipe her shiny and charming cherry lips, her snow-white face flushed red.

"Okay sister, it's my turn now!"

Li Hanyou, charming and charming with eyes full of waves, leaned down, pushed her away impatiently, and continued to massage Ling Changqing's legs...

Hanyuezhou.

After several years, many areas of this untouched land have begun to recover.

Without the interference of massive mortals and cultivators, and with the nourishment of spiritual veins and spiritual energy, the flowers, plants and trees grew extremely lush.

In addition, there were spiritual birds and beasts passing by from time to time, staying and breeding here, and various birds and beasts gradually increased.

Perhaps in a few years, this place will be able to completely recover to its original state where few people have ever been.

But today, a small fleet of Tianzhou ships arrived.

Thousands of monks left the ship and spent several days carefully exploring the entire land and the surrounding islands.

The results of the report made the anxious Haoyue Sect's leader Ma Deqing very happy.

After wandering on the vast ocean with his remnants for so long and nearly on the verge of collapse, is he finally going to see good times?
"...Master, this island is indeed an unowned land. You can stay here to recuperate."

Master Li looked excited.

As long as we can get our disciples to stay, occupy this place and slowly operate and develop it, we will be able to restore some of our strength after about a hundred years.

"Why is there an uninhabited land in this place? It feels like something is wrong."

A Jindan elder asked doubtfully.

This place has many large third-level spiritual veins and even more second-level spiritual veins, giving rise to many areas that can be used as cave dwellings and blessed places, and there is also a large number of various spiritual mineral resources.

For any Jindan force, this is a rare foundation land, but it is just abandoned here and no one cares about it?
"No matter what, let's let the disciples stay here first. We can investigate other matters slowly."

Master Li said.

It is true that the sect is now in a miserable and embarrassing situation and can no longer withstand any more running around.

Ma Deqing weighed the pros and cons for a moment, and finally nodded: "That's it, let's let everyone move in and use the third-level spiritual veins here to recuperate and recover."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the elders and disciples present breathed a sigh of relief. After so many years of fleeing, there was finally hope that it would end.

As a result, all the Tianzhou ships landed in the center of Hanyue Island, near the former Hanyuemen Mountain Gate.

All the surviving disciples left the Tianzhou ship and began to clear the surrounding weeds, bushes and rubble under the command of the elders and deacons, and leveled out a clean area.

Comprehensive exploration and mapping of complete and detailed maps, especially the specifications and directions of spiritual veins, the concentration and distribution areas of spiritual energy, etc., are standard steps for exploring wild and unowned lands.

Only after all this is completed successfully will we consider building a cave temple and selecting a new important mountain gate location.

The workload is enormous, but for the monks, it is not too troublesome.

Just one month later, the new mountain gate of Haoyue Sect seemed to have taken shape.

Along the area covered by the largest third-order spiritual vein, dozens of spiritual vein caves have been built, and all the disciples have been arranged.

When the first set of third-order formations guarding the mountain gate was successfully completed, Ma Deqing and a group of elders finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that the sect has completely taken root in this overseas territory and can operate and develop in an orderly manner in the future.

Even though there is no Nascent Soul ancestor in charge, there are still many Jindan cultivators in the sect, and the sect can still continue to pass on as a senior Jindan force.

Perhaps after a few years, a new Yuanying Zhenjun will be born within the sect, and then it will be able to go one step further and return to the ranks of Yuanying forces.

"Master, we are still short of a large number of mortal subjects. Do we need to capture some from the territories of the surrounding small forces?"

Master Li suggested.

In the world of immortal cultivation, no force can do without the support of a large number of mortal subjects.

Whether it's reclaiming land for farming, mining, hunting, grazing and fishing...it's mainly done by young and middle-aged mortals.

Selecting immortal seedlings with spiritual roots and suitable for cultivation from among the mortal people and bringing them back to the sect for cultivation is also an important way to develop and grow your power.

Ma Deqing pondered and said, "Don't be in a hurry for now, wait until those injured disciples recover.

We still need to build a few more large formations to strengthen the defense of the mountain gate, which is the most important thing at the moment."

Master Li nodded and did not insist.

"As for the Ling family in Changqingzhou..."

Ma Deqing's face was gloomy: "Don't worry about it for now. When we recover our strength in the future, we will settle the accounts with them!"

……

In the inner study.

After comforting Li Hanyou's four daughters, Ling Changqing left leisurely and came to the boudoir embroidery building of the owner of the house.

Ling Qiyue, with her hair tied up high and wearing a scarlet dress, has finished the tasks at hand. She is holding a sky-blue teacup in her hand and sipping tea leisurely.

Fu Yinxue, Qin Yun, Ling Zhiqing and Ling Bingyun were all present, their pearls shining brightly and their hair green and red flowing.

They were chatting casually, looking towards the door from time to time with their charming eyes, obviously they had been waiting for a long time.

When Ling Changqing's tall and agile figure appeared, all eyes in the audience were focused on him.

"...Husband, you finally decided to come here?"

Tang Qiuyao, who was gorgeous with hair like clouds, said coquettishly, and stood up with her plump and slender body, walked over to hug him.

Ling Changqing responded, and said with a slightly apologetic look: "This retreat is indeed a bit long. I will accompany you well from now on."

Fu Yinxue, who had a bright appearance and sparkling eyes, snorted tenderly, "Aren't you going to accompany those four little girls? How come you still have time to come here?"

"That was just a small accident. After all, their cultivation is still shallow and they need to improve urgently."

Ling Changqing explained gently.

He was intercepted by Xiao Meiniang and her four daughters just after he came out of the customs. They were inevitably a little resentful and had to be appeased.

Ling Qiyue suppressed her smile and asked, "My husband, you have accumulated a lot of energy now. You should be able to reach the Jindan Zhenren realm, right?"

Ling Changqing nodded and said, "It's almost there. I will definitely be able to break through during my next retreat."

"That's fine."

Ling Qiyue looked delighted. As long as Ling Changqing succeeded, there would be three Jindan Zhenren in charge of Changqing Continent and even Feiyu Sea.

"But, I'm about to break through, so you can't just sit there doing nothing!"

Tang Qiuyao gave him a resentful look.

When Ling Changqing was still a cultivator in the Qi training stage, she had already stepped into the foundation-building stage. After so many years of hard training, she is now also at the peak of the foundation-building stage.

"Don't worry, you won't be left waiting in vain, and everyone will get a share!"

Ling Changqing had no choice but to say that in this kind of situation, one should not favor one over the other and that everyone should be treated equally.

"That's pretty much it!"

The girls' anger turned into joy. The tall and beautiful Ling Bingyun came over and held his arm, her beautiful eyes full of charm:
"Without further delay, shall we go and practice now, my husband?"
