Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 203 Qin Mengxuan: Maybe this is God’s will
In the Dan Palace.

Ling Changqing chatted with the beauties for a while without saying anything, then made the excuse that he was a little tired and planned to take a rest before talking about anything else.

Ling Qiyue and the other girls did not suspect anything and let him return to the inner study.

A moment later, Xiao Meiniang, Yang Yunfei and three other girls came in quietly.

They had changed into transparent maid outfits, with no underwear or underskirts underneath, revealing their alluring scenery.

Obviously, they wanted to ask Ling Changqing for individual guidance on their homework and play some indescribable games at the same time.

But this time, they will be disappointed.

"Eh? Where are the others, Master?"

Seeing the empty study, Yang Yunfei said in surprise.

"I don't know. You just came in."

Chen Zihan muttered to herself that she had given the maid on duty at the door a lot of benefits before she agreed to tip her off.

The four girls searched inside and outside for a long time but still found nothing, so they had to leave in disappointment.

Perhaps the master had gone somewhere else and was accompanying his genuine Taoist companions, so it would be inappropriate for the four women to disturb him casually.

At this moment, Ling Changqing was already in the paradise inside the Era Star Palace.

This is a small world with a radius of about two miles. The soft and hazy light illuminates every corner, and the ground underfoot is a hard light green jade.

The spiritual energy here is extremely pure and abundant, surpassing the third-grade superior spiritual veins and reaching the level of fourth-grade spiritual veins, which is equivalent to the cave abode of Yuanying Zhenjun.

"Master, rest assured,"

The charming Gong Ling beside him smiled and said, "This place is equivalent to a small world outside the heaven. No matter how advanced the other party's deduction method is, they will not be able to track down the master's whereabouts."

"That's fine."

Ling Changqing breathed a sigh of relief. This was a new ability that the Era Star Palace had developed when he broke through to the Jindan Zhenren realm last time.

From now on, as long as he hides in it, he can not only practice in seclusion, but also ensure absolute safety. Even if a powerful god-transforming master is in front of him, he will not be able to detect any clues.

"How long will their deduction method last?"

Ling Changqing asked.

Gong Ling said: "This method consumes too much energy. Even if all the top forces in Yuzhou's immortal cultivation world work together, they can't last long."

"Okay, then I'll rest here for a few days."

Ling Changqing said this and sat down cross-legged. Anyway, there was plenty of spiritual energy here, so it would be a waste if he didn't use it.

……

The important gate of Luhua Palace.

On the white jade square outside the secret hall, one thousand carefully selected female practitioners stood in a neat square formation, already ready to go. As soon as the results of the deduction of the divine secrets inside came out, they would set off immediately.

Liuying Bingchan, Liuying Mengluan and other girls were among them, as well as the nine saints of Luhua Palace and hundreds of core seeds.

Of course, there are also some high-level elders, including powerful ones at the level of Yuanying Zhenjun.

Not only do they have profound cultivation and excellent spiritual roots, but each of them is a carefully selected beauty. It is obvious why they want it.

Behind this powerful red and pink square formation, five Lingbao-class high-speed sky boats are already waiting in the air. With their speed, they can cross the entire Yuzhou continent in just a few days.

Of course, behind them, there is a larger group of high-level female cultivators who are also on high alert and ready to go out to provide support once they receive an order.

The process of welcoming back the son of destiny will not be smooth sailing. Ambushes and bloody battles along the way are inevitable, so no preparation is excessive.

For Luhua Palace and Liuying Family, this joint operation is of great importance and only success is allowed.

In the secret hall, the Tianji Hundong Origin Tracing Array was still operating.

As time went by, the eight beautiful women who presided over the formation had turned pale, their heavy clothes were soaked with sweat, and their magic power was on the verge of exhaustion. It was obvious that they could not continue.

"Stop for a moment!"

Qin Mengxuan, who was standing next to her, said with a frown.

The eight beautiful women breathed a sigh of relief and stopped outputting mana at the same time.

Liuying Ziying, Su Qinglian and other high-level elders were present at the moment, all of them had solemn expressions and were silent.

"What's going on? Still no feedback?"

Qin Mengxuan asked.

The beautiful woman in the lead whispered, "We seemed to have some clues at first, but before we could confirm further, the other party's aura disappeared without any signs, just like..."

"Like what?"

"It's as if... he suddenly left this world!"

"This is impossible!"

Qin Mengxuan raised her eyebrows: "His current cultivation is at most at the Jindan stage, how could he have the ability to suddenly leave this world? Even a Yuanying Zhenjun can't do it, right?"

Liuying Ziying guessed, "Maybe he has some special ability? Or maybe he has some ancient heavy weapon or something like that, so he should be able to do it?"

Since he is the legendary son of luck, it is natural that he has some unusual methods.

Just like last time, Ling Changqing was able to quietly hide it from the top leaders of all major forces and safely leave Dragon Soul Valley without a trace.

At first everyone thought that some mysterious force had got there first, but now thinking back, it was most likely another special method of Ling Changqing.

"If that's the case, then doesn't that mean our plan has failed?"

Su Qinglian looked gloomy. The top leaders of the two companies had made such a big show and invested so many resources, thinking that they had a sure win, but they didn't know that they would fail in the end.

Qin Mengxuan pondered for a moment and sighed softly: "Perhaps this is God's will? It can only be like this."

Even if we wait until the elders recover and then deduce again, I'm afraid the result will be no different.

Rather than wasting resources in vain, it is better to stop loss and exit early.

It seems that if the two families want to find Ling Changqing, the son of luck, they have to find another way.

"If it really doesn't work, why don't we bring those companies in and think of a solution?"

Liuying Ziying said: "No matter what, Ling Changqing cannot be taken away by forces from other states. As long as he is still in Yuzhou, we have a chance."

Qin Mengxuan weighed the pros and cons for a moment, then slowly said, "Then it's settled. This is a matter of great importance to the rise and fall of Yuzhou's immortal cultivation world, and I believe they will not dare to neglect it."

If Ling Changqing joined the forces of other major states, at most one hundred and eighty years later, the other party's strength would expand rapidly and begin to expand to other major states until they unified the world.

……

Changqing Island.

Ling Changqing hid inside the Jiyuan Star Palace for a day and a night, and only came out after the palace spirit confirmed that there was no longer any danger.

When he walked out of the inner study, he saw Tang Qiuyao hurrying over with a slightly nervous expression.

"what happened?"

Ling Changqing called out.

When Tang Qiuyao saw him, her expression instantly relaxed:

"Husband, where have you been? My sisters couldn't find you anywhere, and there was no response from the communication jade talisman, so we are a little worried!"

In the past, even if Ling Changqing was away for a period of time, he would explain the situation to the girls in advance. This time, he disappeared without a word, which really made them a little uncomfortable. Ling Changqing hugged her and kissed her, and briefly explained that it was a special talent that he had recently awakened that could avoid the detection and lock of those forces.

"Those vixens still refuse to give up?"

Tang Qiuyao's face suddenly turned cold. No one could feel happy knowing that her husband was always being thought about by a group of outsiders.

"Don't worry, they will never succeed."

Ling Changqing said with a smile.

In fact, it is true. When there is a danger that is difficult to deal with, he just needs to hide in the paradise, and no one can do anything to him.

"But I do have a bold idea!"

Tang Qiuyao blinked her beautiful eyes and her emotions suddenly became high.

"what idea?"

Ling Changqing asked.

"Of course, I'll go to work in the sea!"

Tang Qiuyao smiled and said: "Your innate magical power is much better than magic weapons. You can dive to the bottom of the sea two thousand feet deep to collect resources without worrying about encountering danger. Wouldn't we gain more this way?
Furthermore, if we can find a way to sneak into the treasure houses of those powerful forces, wouldn't it be possible to empty their wealth completely?"

Ling Changqing was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "This may seem simple, but it's probably not that easy in reality. We don't need to take risks like this right now, right?"

It's okay to go to the sea to work. The initial level magic weapon can still last for a short while at the bottom of the sea two thousand feet deep. After getting the resources, you can immediately hide in the paradise to recover. It's not a big problem.

Another benefit is that it can avoid the massive consumption of luck and fortune, allowing you to last longer on the seabed.

However, it is easy to sell resources below the fourth level, after all, the Ling family is already a golden elixir-level force.

The fourth-level resources are not so easy to deal with. If the quantity sold is too large, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the top management of the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce, and even Xue Qingtan may not be able to cover it up.

How could there be so many fourth-level resources appearing in the territory of a mere Jindan force?
Anyone can see that something is wrong. Once the powerful people in the Chamber of Commerce come to get to the bottom of it, this matter will be difficult to resolve.

As for sneaking into the mountain gates of those big forces to steal, that would be even more difficult. The treasure house must be protected by many arrays and prohibitions. How easy is it to sneak in silently?

"That's right, I was too naive."

Tang Qiuyao blushed slightly and smiled embarrassedly.

Ling Changqing reached out and held her smooth and tight waist, saying:

"Go and discuss this with Sister Yue and the others. Some things are not impossible to try, but they must be kept confidential."

"Yes, my husband is right."

Tang Qiuyao said softly, with charm flowing in her beautiful eyes.

A moment later, in the inner room of the female owner's boudoir.

"...So my husband has this kind of innate magical power? Then why don't we go to the bottom of the sea and get more resources? Don't think too much about other things for now."

Ling Qiyue spoke gently.

"Well, the family is still in the stage of accumulating power, and there is no upper limit to the demand for various cultivation resources."

Xue Qingtan agreed.

Ling Changqing nodded: "My lady, what you said is very good, let's do it this way."

So the next morning, Ling Changqing went out to sea with Ling Qiyue and Xue Qingtan.

This time, the three of them stayed at the bottom of the sea, more than a thousand feet deep, for three days and three nights.

Only when all their storage instruments and blessed lands were full did Ling Changqing take the two girls back to the family headquarters.

The total value of the resources brought back this time is enough to cover the expenses of the Ling family for three years.

Moreover, Ling Changqing restored his upper limit of lifespan from 403 years to 531 years by sacrificing a large number of inner elixirs of evil beasts.

After resting for only half a month, Ling Changqing went out to sea again, this time bringing Tang Qiuyao and Fu Yinxue with him.

After three days and three nights, Ling Changqing returned with a full load as expected.

This time, Ling Changqing used the sacrifice of his inner elixir to restore his upper limit of lifespan to 639 years.

Except for the profits shared by the three people, most of the resources brought back were handed over to Xue Qingtan, who purchased them at a reasonable price on behalf of the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, Ling Changqing did not plan to collect too many spirit stones. Nearly 80% of the payment was exchanged with the Chamber of Commerce for various elixirs, talismans, high-end food ingredients, medicinal herb raw materials, magic tools, puppets and other resources needed by the family.

After these development resources enter the family treasury, the average cultivation level of the Ling family members will increase faster, and the same is true for the development and construction of the territory.

Before we knew it, a year had passed.

When Ling Changqing returned from the bottom of the sea for the tenth time, Ling Qiyue and the other girls finally decided to suspend this action and let him practice in seclusion for a while.

Because the resources in the family warehouse are already piled up like a mountain, even if they are squandered lavishly, they can meet the development needs for the next 20 to 30 years.

Ling Changqing's own upper limit of lifespan has reached 997 years, which is almost twice that of an ordinary Jindan cultivator.

Moreover, during this period, he also spent an additional 400 years of his life to raise his alchemy level from the lower third level to the middle third level.

In the inner room of the boudoir.

Deep within the layers of brocade curtains, after round after round of fierce fighting, the beautiful jade embroidered couch finally entered a brief period of calm.

"...Sister, I think the defense formation of the family headquarters should be further strengthened. What do you think?"

Ling Qiyue turned her head and looked at Xue Qingtan, who had her beautiful eyes slightly closed and was barely able to breathe after being tossed around.

"Oh, okay, okay..."

Xue Qingtan, whose body was limp, responded lazily.

Fu Yinxue, who was riding on Ling Changqing's head and acting tyrannically, blushed and laughed softly:

"I think the defensive power of this formation is pretty good. How can it be strengthened? It's not that easy to buy a fourth-level formation, right?"

It is indeed very difficult for a Jindan-level power to purchase Yuanying-level resources. It is just like a Qi training-level cultivator wanting to purchase a foundation-building pill. It is not something that can be purchased just because one wants to.

Ling Qiyue said: "Then add two more layers. In addition to the original protective formation, set up two more third-level high-quality formations.

In addition, the areas around the market town, the rare spiritual mineral mines, the areas around the medicinal mountains and medicinal gardens, and the islands with third-level spiritual veins must all be protected by formations.

In addition, we also need a group of mechanical puppets who specialize in hard labor, and let them reclaim wasteland and turn all the areas covered by spiritual veins into new spiritual fields and medicinal gardens."

"That's no problem. It just costs spirit stones."

Xue Qingtan finally caught her breath and spoke in a sweet voice.

Anyway, the Ling family is not short of spirit stones now, so as long as it can accelerate the development of the territory and enhance the overall strength of the family, they will do it in any convenient way.

Qin Yun, who was massaging Ling Changqing's legs, lowered her head and raised it in a moment of leisure, saying softly:

"There is also the family's next batch of fairy seed selection operation. We can start it after the New Year, right? How many people do you plan to select this time?"

Tang Qiuyao pinched Ling Changqing's arm and said with a smile:

"Need I say more? Of course the more the better. Bring back all the fairy seedlings that meet the requirements and cultivate them!"

"Well, that's as it should be."

Ling Qiyue agreed. The family is still short of people, so as for young children who have the qualifications to practice cultivation, they should of course adhere to the principle of accepting as many as possible.
