Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 213 Ling Qiyue: Are you very proud?

Chixue Sea, Cangyu Islands.

The inheritance history of this sect is not too long. Counting from the time when it took control of this island, it has been less than five hundred years.

The island master of this generation is named Gu Binglong, who has reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm and has been in power for more than twenty years.

More than 20 years ago, Gu Binglong's father coveted the beauty of Liu Qianlan, the head of the Changsheng Palace, and wanted to forcefully marry this stunningly beautiful woman and take over the Changsheng Palace's assets.

The two sides started fighting as soon as they had a disagreement. Liu Qianlan had a stronger cultivation level and also possessed a top-grade magic weapon, so Gu Binglong's father was beaten seriously. After returning to the sect, he barely survived for two years before he died.

After Gu Binglong took over, he actively planned to declare war on Changsheng Palace, vowing to defeat this old enemy and avenge his father.

Of course, the feud between the two sects is long-standing. Even if this incident had not happened, the two sides would have fought each other sooner or later.

At this moment, on the main island of Cangyu Islands.

In the sect's important place, in the magnificent hall under the protection of the mountain protection formation, Gu Binglong was discussing matters with a group of trusted senior leaders.

"...I was wondering why those families have been going to Feiyu Sea recently. So they went to find the female head of Changqingzhou to make pills?"

Sitting in the main seat, Gu Binglong, with a sly look and a gloomy face, examined the jade talisman in his hand and spoke in a bad tone.

Ever since the Ling family of Changqingzhou gained control of the entire Feiyu Sea, intelligence information about this family has become the focus of collection by surrounding forces.

Therefore, the news that Ling Qiyue is a third-level alchemist has long been known to everyone.

The requirements for talent and qualifications of an alchemist are too stringent, and the growth cycle is too long and the training cost is high. Therefore, the status of an alchemist who can reach the third level is not far from that of a Nascent Soul True Lord.

Especially among these middle and lower-level forces, reliable third-level alchemists are rare.

Even in some weaker Nascent Soul forces, the value of a third-level alchemist is indispensable.

After learning that the head of the Ling family was willing to take on the alchemy commission, many high-ranking officials from surrounding forces became interested and prepared generous gifts to come to the alchemist to beg him, hoping that he could help them refine the pills.

An old man in a brocade robe nearby asked, "I just wonder how many third-level pills these families have obtained? Could it be that the female family head will grant them whatever they ask for?"

He is Gu Binglong's uncle, Gu Changhe, who has reached the early stage of Golden Core cultivation.

A middle-aged man in gray clothes next to him responded: "According to the information we have, people from Changsheng Palace, Nutao Sect, and Feng Family have recently broken through to the Jindan realm.

Among them, an elder from the Nutao Sect formed a golden elixir, while Liu Xiuyan from the Changsheng Palace and the one from the Feng family were a bit unlucky and only achieved the true elixir realm. "

This guy is the elder in charge of foreign intelligence forces, his name is Tang Tie.

"So, the strength of these three families has increased a little bit? This is not good news for us."

Gu Binglong said coldly.

The Nutao Clan and the Feng Family are fine, and their feud with the Cangyu Islands is not that big, but the Changsheng Palace is their mortal enemy.

With the addition of a True Dan cultivator on their side, the pressure that the Cangyu Islands will face in the future will be even greater.

"Not only that,"

Tang Tie frowned and said, "The three families also obtained a lot of other types of third-level elixirs from the Ling family, such as those for prolonging life, healing injuries, and improving cultivation.

As a result, the average strength of the original Jindan cultivators of their three families should have been enhanced, especially that of the Changsheng Palace.

According to an insider report, the two Changsheng Hall True Dan monks who were injured by the island master not long ago have recovered from their injuries and come out of seclusion a few days ago. "

"What a bastard!"

Gu Binglong slammed the armrest of the chair hard, his face turning extremely pale.

The little advantage that was hard-won in the previous battle has now been completely wiped out, and anyone would feel furious.

Liu Qianlan is difficult to deal with in the first place. If war breaks out again in the future, won’t the Cangyu Islands be even more difficult?
Gu Changhe said: "There are still some reserves in the sect's warehouse. We might as well gather some resources to form a pill, and then go to those big chambers of commerce to buy some third-level pills. In any case, we can't let the Changsheng Palace outstrip us."

Elder Xu Song, who was in charge of the Reward Hall, looked embarrassed: "This matter is not easy to handle. We have almost used up the purchase quota of third-level resources from those chambers of commerce in the past fifteen years.

If you want to continue buying, you have to pay a lot more, or you have to agree to some additional conditions, which is really a loss.”

Yuzhou’s three major super chambers of commerce organizations are the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce, Huanzhen Pavilion, and Juhaixuan.

These three companies all have businesses in the Chixue Sea, but they have various regulations regarding the sale of various third-level resources, especially Jindan resources, and will not allow these forces to purchase them at will.

Moreover, due to years of war and huge consumption, the eleven Jindan forces in the Chixue Sea are not only not wealthy, but also owe a lot of foreign debts. After all, those third-level elixir resources cannot be cheap.

In this regard, the Ling family, which owns the entire Feiyu Sea and does not have many idle people to support, has a much richer financial foundation than the Chixue Sea.

Therefore, Changsheng Palace, Nutao Sect and Feng Family would think of raising medicinal herbs and raw materials on their own and ask the female head of the family to make pills, which could save a lot of expenses.

Gu Binglong said coldly: "We have to find a way to solve it. We can't just sit there and watch. Send someone to talk to the female head of the family. Since she can make pills for those families, why can't she make pills for us?"

In his opinion, there should be no conflict of interest between the Ling family and the various forces in the Chixue Sea, they are just doing things for money.

As long as the remuneration is sufficient, the Cangyu Islands should not be turned away.

"Well...well, we can try."

Xu Song thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Gu Binglong continued: "This matter must have a result. If possible, we can consider forming an alliance with the Ling family.

I remember that the sect occupied seven or eight islands near the Feiyu Sea, and the annual resource output was quite good.

If the Ling family agrees to form an alliance, these islands will be given to them as a gift. I believe the head of the family will not refuse. "

As long as the alliance is reached, Changsheng Palace will never get even a single pill from the Ling family, which is naturally most beneficial to the Cangyu Islands.

Xu Song hesitated for a moment and said, "If that's the case, I'll go there myself, okay?"

Gu Binglong nodded and said, "As long as you can handle this matter, you will be a hero of the sect."

……

Changqing Island.

In the quiet and elegant inner courtyard with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, all kinds of rare flowers and plants compete with each other in beauty and fragrance.

At the end of the gravel path, two beautiful girls with rosy faces and graceful figures walked slowly towards them.

Both women were wearing gorgeous dresses, their black hair was like waterfalls, their eyebrows and facial features were as delicate as jade carvings, and their cultivation was in the late stage of foundation building.

"...My husband has gone to the Alchemy Palace to work again, right? He has been spending less time with us recently!"

Ling Xueyu frowned slightly, and her tone sounded a little lost.

Mu Yuxin smiled slightly and said, "Business matters are more important. It's not just the commissions from those forces. The demand for certain elixirs within the family is increasing. The head of the family is also very busy. Isn't it necessary for me to worry about my husband more?"

Mu Yuxin had not been married for long and was not very close to the other sisters, except for Ling Xueyu, with whom she got along well. They often served Ling Changqing together.

Her cultivation and spiritual root aptitude are actually better than Ling Xueyu's, so she is now in the late stage of foundation building.

"Yeah, that's true."

Ling Xueyu smiled and looked at her: "I remember my husband mentioned it last time, saying that he would teach you the skills of alchemy, why didn't he follow up later?"

"Don't mention it,"

Mu Yuxin said helplessly: "My husband tested me and said that I don't have talent in this area. If I force myself to practice, I can only become a first-class upper-grade alchemist at best. It's better to consider other arts. Even Liu Xiuyan, who just came here, is said to have a better talent in alchemy than me, but she has no intention of entering the door, so my husband doesn't plan to waste effort on her."

"Oh, so that's a pity."

Ling Xueyu sighed with some regret: "Why don't you follow my mother to learn the art of mechanical puppetry? She shouldn't mind having an apprentice."

She has been practicing mechanical puppetry with her mother Ling Yuzhu, and has now reached the threshold of a second-level lower-grade mechanical puppeteer. It is estimated that she will break through soon.

"Well, let me think about it."

Mu Yuxin's face blushed slightly. She and this girl were close friends. It would be good for them to help each other when serving their husbands in the future.

At this time, Ling Changqing had already left the Dan Palace and was in the boudoir of the master of the house, having an in-depth exchange of views with Ling Qiyue on some important future development plans of the family.

Deep behind the brocade curtains, rich body fragrance permeates the space.

There was a large jade embroidered couch and a bright yellow mattress. Ling Qiyue's pair of fair wrists were pressed on both sides of the embroidered pillow. Her long black hair spread out like a waterfall, and her beautiful face was filled with a rosy glow, full of spring.

"…Madam, is it time to admit defeat?"

"You, you shameless guy..."

Ling Qiyue bit her shiny and charming red lips, trying to maintain her dignity, but considering her aching body, she could only whisper:
"Alright my dear, I give in!"

In fact, it was all Tang Qiuyao and Qin Yun's fault. Xue Qingtan and the others were busy, so Ling Qiyue was the only one fighting alone this time.

Even if she tried her best, she was still suppressed by Ling Changqing.

"Just admit defeat! Then what?"

Ling Changqing asked with a smile.

"You shameless little thief, are you very proud of yourself..."

Ling Qiyue cursed inwardly, in the past all the beauties would unite to besiege this guy, so in the end he was always the one who had to beg for mercy in shame.

Now that he had a rare opportunity to turn the tables and become the master, this guy actually took advantage of it? This was simply outrageous!

Restraining her resentment, Ling Qiyue took the initiative to hug him and kiss him, and said with a pleasant face:
"Husband, please get up. We have to get down to business. I'll serve you well in the evening, okay?"

"Huh, that's pretty much it!"

Ling Changqing nodded and climbed up from her reluctantly. With a soft "pop" sound, the couple finally ended their closely connected and inseparable state.

After getting up, taking a bath, and getting dressed again, Ling Changqing came to the pavilion outside and began to look through the jade slips and books piled on the table.

As the head of a Jindan force, Ling Qiyue naturally has a lot of things to deal with, but her cultivation is strong enough now, and with the help of Tang Qiuyao, it is not difficult for her to cope with them.

A moment later, Ling Qiyue, who had finished dressing up, also walked in, her charming face still blushing.

Ling Changqing waved his hand, pulled her plump and charming body over, sat her on him, and then began to touch her all over.

The reason was simple, the fire in his heart was stirring again. After all, with Ling Changqing's current fighting power, Ling Qiyue alone could not satisfy him.

"That Liu Xiuyan has lived here for quite some time. What are your plans, husband?"

Ling Qiyue, who was fully moisturized by the rain and dew and looked radiant, held down his naughty hand and laughed softly.

Ling Changqing was speechless: "Do you think that I am the kind of lustful guy who wants to pounce on a beautiful woman when I see one?"

"Is not it?"

Ling Qiyue asked back, in a matter-of-fact tone.

"..."

Ling Changqing said helplessly: "Well, I think she and her master are a little unreliable. After all, the Changsheng Palace has been passed down for hundreds of years. They and us... can't possibly be of the same mind at all."

Even if the Ling family plots to rule the Chixue Sea in the future, they need to find a suitable ally, but they don't necessarily have to choose the Changsheng Palace.

At least on the surface, the current strength of Changsheng Palace is not much weaker than that of the Ling family. Will they be willing to be swallowed up and integrated in the future?

This concerns the life and death of thousands of monks and is no joke.

Ling Qiyue pondered and said, "This matter is a bit far away, so there is no need to rush. I just like them as a master and disciple, so I asked about your attitude."

In fact, with Ling Changqing's special identity, it is not difficult for him to conquer the body and mind of Master Liu Qianlan and his disciples, and even to conquer the Changsheng Palace.

However, Ling Changqing's safety always comes first. Ling Qiyue is unwilling to take risks if the confidentiality cannot be kept fully confidential.

Fortunately, with the rapid development of the Ling family, it won’t be long before more Jindan Zhenren will be born. Ling Qiyue herself is not far from the Yuanying Zhenjun realm, so it doesn’t really matter whether the Changsheng Palace joins or not.

After a while, with the pleasant sound of jingling jewelry, the gorgeous Tang Qiuyao, wearing a bright red palace skirt, walked in from outside.

"There is some bad news,"

The stunningly beautiful woman placed the jade scrolls in her hands on the table and whispered:

"The envoy from the Cangyu Islands has come to our door. They asked my husband to refine a furnace of crystal-condensing pills for them, as well as various third-level pills for healing and prolonging life."

"Really? It seems like they are well-informed."

Ling Changqing couldn't help but laugh.

With such a big move by the three forces including Changshengdian, the intelligence forces of the Cangyu Islands, as long as they are not just there to do nothing, should have known something about it by now.

"Just reject them directly and ignore them!"

Ling Qiyue said.

Since they have already agreed to form an alliance with the Palace of Eternal Life, it would be inappropriate for the Ling family to have anything to do with the Cangyu Islands, not to mention that this force has a bad reputation to begin with.

Ling Changqing pondered, "I'm afraid that the top leaders of this power will get angry and threaten us with force, so we have to be on guard."

The Ling family naturally does not need to be afraid of the Cangyu Islands. If they were not worried about exposing their strength and attracting the attention of those powerful forces, Luo Qingxuan alone would be able to destroy their foundation.

Tang Qiuyao smiled and said, "They'd better be clear-headed. Otherwise, if they provoke us and the Palace of Eternal Life at the same time, it will be a luxury for these guys to die quickly."

As she said this, she turned and walked out the door, but Ling Qiyue's gnashing voice rang in her mind:

"Call them all over tonight. No one should be absent. We have to teach this guy a lesson!"

"Uh...ok."

Tang Qiuyao couldn't help but look back and secretly glanced at Ling Changqing's expression, realizing that this guy must have made her senior sister angry again.

Needless to say, what awaits Ling Changqing tonight is bound to be an unprecedented tough battle, the kind that will not even give him a chance to surrender.

Outside, after hearing Tang Qiuyao's reply, Xu Song, the envoy of the Cangyu Islands, looked very unhappy, but he did not make trouble on the spot. He said goodbye with a cold face and left.

"Elder, what should we do now?"

After returning to the flying boat, the followers around him began to ask.

Xu Song sighed: "What else can we do? We can only try our luck with other forces. Changsheng Palace wants to annex us, that's wishful thinking!"
