Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 222 Ling Qiyue: You and your apprentice will come in together?

Faced with such a straightforward question, Ling Changqing naturally would not be easily fooled.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that."

Ling Changqing said calmly.

Liu Qianlan blinked her beautiful eyes, sighed with a hint of regret, and said in a faint voice:
"That's such a pity. I was thinking that if you are interested, I would consider marrying you!"

Oh, considering?

Ling Qiyue next to her didn't look unhappy. She narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked up and down at Liu Qianlan's enchanting and charming figure, smiling and saying:

"Sister, you are still a little short of the amount. My husband has a big appetite. You and your apprentice must come in together, otherwise you won't be able to handle it!"

"..."

Even though this stunningly beautiful woman had a strong mind, she couldn't help but blush when she heard these words, and an obvious look of shame and anger appeared in her beautiful eyes.

How could a clan leader speak so bluntly and bluntly?

After all, she had never had a Taoist partner before, but now she was told that she had to enter the sect with her apprentice and serve the same man from then on. It felt really... too ridiculous.

Ling Changqing glanced at Ling Qiyue helplessly, and said with his divine mind:

"My dear, can you please stop ruining my reputation like this? I have to save my face, too, okay?"

"Isn't this exactly what you hope for in your heart?"

Ling Qiyue rolled her eyes at him coquettishly and responded, "I just said it for you, and you still have to thank me!"

Just looking at the way this bastard looked at Liu Qianlan and Liu Xiuyan, how could she not know what he was thinking?

Anyway...all men are the same, they always look at the pot while eating from the bowl!
Ling Changqing shook his head and said to Liu Qianlan directly: "From now on, half of the annual income of the Cangyu Islands will belong to our Ling family. Is this okay?"

Liu Qianlan frowned slightly and said with some embarrassment:
“No problem, but there are still a few Jindan cultivators in their mountain gate, so it’s not easy to break through the mountain protection formation.

If we attack by force, the casualties will probably be difficult to control. What do you think we should do, Fellow Daoist Ling?"

To put it bluntly, if those guys insist on being cowards and hiding themselves away, the Hall of Eternal Life will not be able to take action against them for a while.

Ling Qiyue said calmly: "You can ignore that difficult problem and take over all the market industries in the Cangyu Islands first, then we can talk about other things."

In other words, except for the area protected by the mountain protection formation, the other territories of the Cangyu Islands, including the disciples outside, were no longer able to resist the monks of the Hall of Eternal Life and could only surrender unconditionally.

When the situation has been settled, the Hall of Eternal Life will come to persuade them to surrender. The last few Jindan cultivators will have no better choice than to surrender.

"Given the current situation, it is impossible for our Ling family to directly support you, so you can only rely on yourselves for these matters."

Ling Qiyue said gently: "What kind of medicinal resources do you need to buy? Even if it's the Crystal Condensation Transformation Pill, we can provide it with no problem. We can also give you a certain degree of discount."

Liu Qianlan frowned and thought for a while, looking at her with complicated eyes, and whispered:

"Your Ling family... don't want to expand aggressively now, so you pushed us out to attract attention from all sides. After decades, you will still do the same, right?

If my guess is correct, this huge Chixue Sea will sooner or later belong to your family?"

A huge family that controls the two seas should give birth to a Yuanying Zhenjun in the future, right? Ling Qiyue is now at the peak of the Jindan level, maybe she will really be able to take that step in the future?
"Well, you guessed it right,"

Ling Qiyue did not hide this at all and said frankly:
"So what are your plans, Changsheng Palace? Do you want to surrender directly, or wait and see? Or do you want to unite with those forces and fight against the Ling family together?"

She was not afraid that Liu Qianlan would have any other ideas. The Ling family already had enough hard power to back them up. No matter what choice the other party made, it would not cause much waves.

Moreover, as long as Liu Qianlan decides to take over the foundation of the Cangyu Islands, there will be no possibility of easing relations with the remaining nine forces in the Chixue Sea, and they can only continue to follow the Ling family to the end.

Seeing the stunningly beautiful woman's silence, Ling Changqing smiled:
"As long as you gather enough medicinal herbs and raw materials, I can refine pills for you, including the Crystal Condensation Transformation Pill. It doesn't matter if you want to refine a few more batches!

We in the Ling family will not intentionally use our allies as cannon fodder. Since we have let your Changsheng Palace take the lead, the secret support will naturally be in place. You don't have to worry at all."

He could naturally understand Liu Qianlan's concerns. This was related to the life and death of the entire sect. One careless mistake could lead to eternal damnation, so she could not afford to make any mistakes.

Liu Qianlan whispered, "If that's the case, then we in the Hall of Immortality will go all out! Fellow Daoist Ling, don't forget your promise!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the stunningly beautiful woman felt relieved, as if she had made the most correct decision in her life.

Ling Changqing nodded gently: "That's great, you can take this Jindan resource, it's a gift from the Ling family to you."

He took out an exquisite jade box from his storage bracelet, placed it on the table and pushed it over.

In the jade box is a genuine Crystal Condensing Transformation Pill, a portion of Yuanqingjing Huashui, and several other auxiliary resources.

If one is lucky enough, this resource can create a Jindan cultivator.

"Then I would be disrespectful."

Liu Qianlan's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and she immediately opened the jade box and looked at it for a moment. After confirming that it was correct, she put it away.

As the key support for foundation-building cultivators to break through to the Jindan realm, a Jindan resource is a very valuable gift even among senior Jindan forces.

However, for Ling Changqing now, the harvest from one trip to the sea can be exchanged for several sets of Dan-forming resources, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

After a moment of silence, Liu Qianlan continued, "This resource needs to be used as soon as possible. How about... I arrange a suitable person and let her go to your Changqingzhou for retreat?"

She had noticed last time that the Feng Shui fortune in Changqingzhou was stronger than that in Changsheng Palace. If she retreated there to reach a new level, the chances of success would be greater.

"This is no problem."

Ling Qiyue said with a smile: "However, my previous proposal is still valid, sister, are you not tempted at all?
If you are willing, we can also help your disciple to transform her True Dan and reach the Golden Dan realm again. This is the foundation for reaching the Yuanying Zhenjun realm in the future."

Liu Qianlan's cheeks flushed, she bit her red lips slightly and whispered:

"Words are not enough. If you are really sincere, then help Xiuyan achieve the golden elixir first."

"That's easy,"

Ling Qiyue reached out her jade hand and took off a jade dragon ornament from Ling Changqing's waist, placed it on the table and pushed it in front of her, smiling sweetly and saying:
"Sister, can you also take out something as a keepsake? You will understand later that you will never regret your choice today."

Liu Qianlan's beautiful face blushed like a rosy cloud. After hesitating for a long time, she finally took off a string of exquisite beads from her neck, placed it on the table, and gently pushed it to Ling Changqing.

Oh my god! What am I doing? Exchanging love tokens?
It’s just...

The beautiful woman with a plump, round and charming figure secretly complained in her heart, not daring to look at Ling Changqing's eyes. She grabbed the dragon pendant with her delicate hand and put it into the storage bag.

"alright,"

Ling Qiyue straightened her expression and said solemnly: "We still have to travel somewhere else, you go back and make arrangements. I hope we can be good friends for life, and... good sisters!" "Okay, I understand."

Liu Qianlan tried hard to calm her confused emotions and nodded in agreement.

After flirting for a while, Ling Qiyue finally said goodbye, and the two left under Liu Qianlan's complicated and inexplicable gaze.

A moment later, in a flying boat speeding in the air.

"…Madam, please don't ruin my reputation like this in the future, okay?"

Ling Changqing let Luo Qingxuan hold the snow seeds and feed him while he took a break from his busy schedule to talk to her.

Ling Qiyue smiled and said: "Satisfying your wish is only one aspect, the key is that if the family wants to grow rapidly, it needs new Jindan Zhenren to join.

We don't trust men, so women are more suitable. So as long as the master and disciple commit themselves to you, wouldn't the result be a happy ending for everyone?
In addition, I heard that the disciples and elders in the Changsheng Palace are mostly female cultivators, and there are not many male cultivators. If they are incorporated into the family in the future, how many years of development and accumulation can we save?"

"..."

Ling Changqing opened his mouth, but for a moment he had no way to refute her reasons.

Come to think of it, as long as Liu Qianlan and Liu Xiuyan are willing to come, the Ling family will have two more Jindan real fighters, one of whom is in the late Jindan stage, which means that the overall strength of the family has been improved again.

Not to mention the various tangible and intangible benefits that the Ling family would gain after taking over the entire Changsheng Palace.

Any future plans to take over the entire Chixue Sea area can be carried out in the name of the Palace of Eternal Life, and the remaining forces can be divided and disintegrated and defeated one by one.

By the time those guys react, the situation will have been decided and they will no longer be able to turn things around.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Where are we going now?"

Ling Changqing wisely changed the subject.

Ling Qiyue said: "Why don't we go to the Qi and You families' territories and see if we can kill a few of their Jindan cultivators using the same method we used against the Cangyu Islands."

The strength of the Qi family and the You family is similar to that of the Cangyu Islands, or even slightly stronger. Moreover, they have a good relationship with Gu Binglong and are the most proactive in their attitude towards the Ling family.

From the Ling family's point of view, they naturally have to teach these two top leaders a lesson in order to intimidate other Jindan forces.

As long as they also suffer casualties among their Jindan cultivators, their strength will be greatly damaged, and they will not dare to make any big moves in the short term.

More than ten days later, Cuiyang Island.

This place is much larger than Changqing Island. It has a complete fourth-level spiritual vein and multiple large third-level spiritual veins. It is the foundation of the Qi family.

After nearly a thousand years of operation and various forms of plunder, tens of thousands of islands of all sizes in the waters surrounding Cuiyang Island have now been brought under the jurisdiction of the Qi family.

The current head of the family, Qi Songshou, also has the cultivation level of the late Jindan stage. Besides, there are six Jindan real people, ten Zhendan cultivators, nearly a hundred Jiadan cultivators, and even more foundation-building cultivators in the family.

It is said that the most powerful supreme elder in the family failed in his attempt to reach the Nascent Soul True Lord realm a few years ago, which caused him to lose a lot of vitality and he has not fully recovered until now.

In fact, all the Jindan forces in the Chixue Sea have always been planning to train a Yuanying Zhenjun to rule the family, so that they can expand outward in a natural way, swallow up other forces, and then become the sole overlord of the entire sea.

The idea is nice, but in the past thousand years, no force has ever achieved its goal.

In other words, whenever a strong person from any force is close to success, he will be targeted by the surrounding forces, encounter various accidents, and fail or even fall.

The top leaders of these forces are naturally well aware of what the combat power of the Yuanying Zhenjun level means, so they cannot let other forces succeed at any cost, otherwise they will have no chance of preserving their own foundation.

At the family headquarters, in the magnificent palace, the head of the family, Qi Songshou, and several elders were in the martial arts arena, watching many young men of the new generation compete with each other.

In the square, thousands of young men and women gathered in groups of three or five, discussing scriptures and philosophy, sparring with each other, comparing sword skills, or practicing various magical powers and spells, etc., and the fight was in full swing.

As the next generation carefully nurtured by the family, these elite children have good spirits and energy, and many of them are in the middle and late stages of Qi training.

"...These young people have a good foundation. As long as they don't die midway, building a foundation shouldn't be a problem."

Qi Songshou, who was sitting on the high platform, put down the teacup in his hand and spoke leisurely.

Several family elders who were sitting nearby all agreed with laughter, and all kinds of flattery and praise were heard.

As the family thrives, the head of the family naturally has to take the top credit.

With Qi Songshou's stubborn, narrow-minded and extreme character, he might not care about who compliments him, but he would definitely remember who doesn't compliment him.

"The Cangyu Islands and Lilongzhou should be ready soon, right?"

After a moment, Qi Songshou asked.

An elder replied, "It's almost done. I estimate that in two or three months, everyone will be able to stockpile war resources and then take action against the Ling family!"

Qi Songshou nodded and said disdainfully: "How can a small family that has only risen for a short time occupy an entire sea area? That precious land should belong to our Qi family!"

"What the Patriarch said is very true!"

The elders all echoed with smiles on their faces.

In their opinion, the Ling family’s strength is just so-so, and their foundation and strength are far inferior to that of the Qi family, not to mention the joining forces of so many Jindan forces?

There is nothing more joyful than destroying this family, dividing up the territory and resources of the entire Feiyu Sea, and allowing the family to gain more room for development.

An elder pondered and said, "However, the Feiyu Sea is a bit far from us. If we really get a piece of land there, we have to arrange enough people to guard it."

Qi Songshou said: "This is as it should be. Elder Songshan will be in charge at that time, and he will select a group of family members to go there."

Before the elder could reply, a pale-faced deacon hurried over from a distance. After approaching and bowing, he nervously reported:

"Master, something bad has happened. Someone is causing trouble in the family's medicine garden. Not only have they stolen many precious spiritual medicines, but they have also... killed the two Jindan elders who were in charge!"

"what?"

Qi Songshou's face suddenly changed, and he immediately became furious and said, "Who are these blind thieves? How dare they target our Qi family? Do they want to die without a burial place?"

"How ridiculous! They dare to offend the dignity of the family. We must teach them a lesson!"

The elders around also shared the same hatred.

Qi Songshou said coldly: "Call Elders Song Tao, Song Yun, and Song Lin over here, bring more people, and let's go over and take a look together!"

Compared with Gu Binglong's actions a few days ago, Qi Songshou was obviously much more shrewd. Although he was angry, he did not mean to underestimate the enemy at all.

It didn't take long before the four Jindan cultivators, four Zhendan cultivators, and more than twenty Fakedan cultivators all arrived. Under the leadership of Qi Songshou, they headed towards the family medicine garden thousands of miles away.
