Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 226 Liu Qianlan: Since you are so capable, why don't we

Chixue Sea.

After months of repeated tug-of-war and negotiations, the Palace of Eternal Life's annexation of the Cangyu Islands finally came to an end with the compromise and surrender of the last two Jindan Zhenren.

In exchange, these two Jindan Zhenren will still be the core elders in the Changsheng Hall and enjoy corresponding authority and resources.

Of course, their remaining true subordinates will be disbanded and assigned to remote territories for duty. They can only be transferred back to prosperous areas after serving the sect for a certain number of years.

From then on, the Cangyu Islands sect was officially removed from the Chixue Sea, and all remaining disciples, as well as all territories and industries were incorporated into the Changsheng Palace.

When the news spread, all the surrounding forces remained silent, and no one raised any objections to the actions of the Hall of Eternal Life.

The Qi family and the You family had suffered heavy losses and were no longer able to interfere with the actions of the Hall of Eternal Life, while the Nutao clan and the Feng family had been maintaining a neutral wait-and-see attitude, not wanting to cause any trouble.

As for the remaining few, due to the relatively far distance, in this delicate situation, it is better to have less trouble than more.

The supporter behind the Hall of Eternal Life is the Ling family of Feiyu Sea. This is no longer a secret.

Any force that wants to take action against the Palace of Eternal Life must take the Ling family's attitude into consideration.

Although the number of Jindan cultivators in the Ling family is not large and cannot compare to Lilongzhou in the Chixue Sea, no force dares to underestimate this family that can dominate the entire sea.

God knows if there is a bigger background behind the Ling family? If they provoke a Yuanying force, there will be no way to end it.

Finally, after Liu Qianlan announced that the sect would begin to recuperate and would no longer engage in any expansion activities, all the forces in the Chixue Sea accepted the fait accompli.

Another month passed, when the sect had completely stabilized, Liu Qianlan went to Changqing Island in person to visit his disciple Liu Xiuyan.

At this time, Liu Xiuyan's accumulation was complete, and under the protection of Ling Changqing, she went into seclusion again. After transforming her true elixir, she tried again to reach the Golden Elixir True Person realm.

Under normal circumstances, this behavior would be extremely consuming and dangerous. However, with Ling Changqing's help, the whole process was safe.

When Liu Qianlan met Ling Qiyue, the head wife of the family, and then appeared in front of Ling Changqing, Liu Xiuyan's retreat was nearing its end.

In the cave temple.

"...Husband, has Xiuyan succeeded?"

This stunningly beautiful woman, wearing a sky blue dress with a cloud-like pattern of flowers and clouds, with golden hairpins and tassels shining on her cloud-like bun, and skin as white as snow, looked nervous and asked cautiously.

In fact, there was no need for Ling Changqing to answer. Just by looking at the huge and stable vortex of spiritual energy above the cave, one could tell that Liu Xiuyan's luck had indeed turned this time.

Ling Changqing looked at her and said gently, "Don't worry, Xiuyan should have obtained a high-grade golden elixir this time. As long as she doesn't encounter any disasters in the future, she will be able to reach the Yuanying Zhenjun realm in no time!"

Any female cultivator who has had an intimate relationship with Ling Changqing will have her spiritual roots, qualifications, and destiny transformed, so it is not surprising to see such behavior.

At first, Tang Qiuyao, Qin Yun, Ling Bingyun and other girls had very slim hopes of reaching the Golden Core True Person realm. However, with the blessing of Ling Changqing's luck, they all got what they wanted.

It can be said that whoever Ling Changqing is willing to get close to has hope of changing his fate.

"That's good!"

Liu Qianlan heaved a sigh of relief and sat down slowly opposite him. She looked at this beautiful young man in purple clothes with eyes as bright as lacquer and a graceful demeanor like a dragon and a phoenix with her beautiful eyes. Her jade-like face suddenly turned red like a rosy cloud.

Since the other party has fulfilled all the promises, from now on, this guy is his... Taoist partner? The one that he and his disciple will serve for the rest of their lives?

It does feel a bit embarrassing, but for the sake of my own spiritual career, it doesn't seem unacceptable.

No matter what, the other party will at least not treat her unfairly.

Since Liu Qianlan embarked on the path of cultivation, she has always been alone and has never had a partner. She is also accustomed to facing all difficulties alone.

Now that she has given herself to Ling Changqing, she does feel a deeper sense of security in her heart, which makes her feel very happy.

After thinking for a while, Liu Qianlan whispered: "I brought two female cultivators at the peak of foundation building this time. They are my most reliable and trusted subordinates. Do you want to meet them?

If you are satisfied, then don't rush into retreat, just let them come and serve you!"

Last time, Ling Changqing gave her some resources for forming a Jindan realm, and she also gathered some spirit stones on her own. She planned to come to Ling Changqing to buy another batch of resources for forming a Jindan realm, and then let these two trusted subordinates reach the Jindan realm.

However, considering their qualifications and luck, they can probably only become fake elixir cultivators, and whether they can become real elixir cultivators depends on luck.

Fortunately, the two female cultivators are talented, kind and beautiful, and they are both virgins. Perhaps they will have a chance to be noticed by Ling Changqing?
Ling Changqing asked with some surprise: "Are you willing to do it?"

Liu Qianlan blushed slightly and rolled her eyes at him coquettishly: "Since you are so capable, my husband, why don't you take a few more!"

In addition to considering the two trusted subordinates, Liu Qianlan was also thinking that she and her apprentice had just arrived and were a little isolated and helpless in Ling Changqing's harem. It would naturally be good if they could have two more helpers.

Well, there are quite a few single female cultivators inside the Hall of Eternal Life, and there seem to be a few who are of good character, appearance and qualifications. Should we arrange for them all to come and show themselves to this guy?
Liu Qianlan was thinking in her heart, since it was only a matter of time before the Hall of Eternal Life was incorporated into the Ling family, then it seemed like a good idea to please Ling Changqing and ensure the interests of the original sect and faction in this way?

Anyway, this guy is young after all, and his emotions are very strong. As long as he is satisfied in this aspect, other things should not be difficult to talk about.

"That's no problem, we'll talk about it later."

Ling Changqing nodded.

Ling Qiyue had mentioned to herself at the beginning that she could look for some female cultivators with outstanding character, appearance and qualifications to take in as her own room, and train them up as quickly as possible through dual cultivation, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the family.

Compared with the traditional methods of cultivating the new generation of children, Ling Changqing's ability can be said to be unique, and his speed and efficiency are far superior.

So after learning that the cultivators in the Hall of Eternal Life were mostly women, Ling Qiyue had such an idea.

Ling Changqing did not object. After all, this was for the sake of the family's overall interests, not because he was greedy for their beauty or their bodies.

He told himself with absolute certainty that this was the way it happened and would not accept any argument from him.

And there is another benefit to doing this, which is that in the future the Ling family will be headed by Ling Changqing, and he will have almost absolute control over the family.

After all, all strong people of sufficient importance are his Taoist companions. If in the distant future, they give birth to children for Ling Changqing, these children will definitely become core members of the family when they grow up.

Therefore, the Ling family is a power that belongs completely to Ling Changqing, and no one else can get involved.

Of course, it was too early to consider the issue of offspring. Although Ling Qiyue and the other girls were thinking about this, Ling Changqing himself was still unsure.

The son of destiny is born with the destiny of heaven and earth, and at the same time bears the cause and effect of all living beings. It is hard to say whether he will have descendants of his own in the future. "By the way, husband, when do you plan to let the Ling family continue to expand abroad?"

Liu Qianlan asked again.

Ling Changqing pondered: "There is no need to rush. As long as there is no extreme situation of foreign invasion, the Ling family has been focusing on peaceful development in recent decades."

If you want to expand overseas, there is no need to rush. Ling Changqing has plenty of patience anyway.

No matter how those outside forces try to test and infiltrate, Ling Changqing just ignores them now and records them silently in the account book. There will naturally be a day in the future when he will get his money back with interest.

Liu Qianlan nodded silently. She now understood that the Ling family's background was far beyond the imagination of the outside world. Ling Changqing alone was a special existence that even the peak forces would envy.

If the forces in the Chixue Sea really join forces to deal with the Ling family, the consequences will be absolutely catastrophic, and it may become the next Cangyu Islands.

Liu Qianlan is now certain that in twenty years at most, the Ling family will become a behemoth that controls two entire seas.

However, Lilongzhou should also be aware of this and will certainly not be willing to sit and wait for death, and will try every means to save themselves.

For example, collude with a Yuanying force outside the domain to offset the pressure from the Feiyu Sea?
We are not stupid. It will depend on who is stronger and who has better calculations.

"The head of the family...isn't she far from the Yuanying Zhenjun realm?"

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Qianlan asked nervously.

Originally, she was not suitable to ask this question, but now their relationship is different, so there is no need to worry about anything.

Ling Changqing nodded calmly: "Indeed, the first Yuanying Zhenjun of the Ling family is most likely her."

It's not mostly true, but definitely so. Of course, Ling Changqing wouldn't be too sure.

"So, my husband, you..."

Liu Qianlan's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

How could Ling Changqing not know what she was thinking? He smiled slightly and said:

"You are already in the late Jindan stage. If you practice with me for three to five years, you will be able to reach the Yuanying True Lord level, right?"

"That would be perfect!"

Liu Qianlan said happily, her fair and slender face blushing like a rosy cloud, looking extremely charming and attractive.

Although her potential has not been exhausted yet, reaching the peak of the Golden Core in her lifetime is the limit. The chance of reaching the Yuanying True Lord realm is not as great as she imagined.

It is said that Jindan Zhenren is the seed of Yuanying, but in fact it is not that simple. It also depends on the amount of resources and one's own opportunities and destiny.

If one encounters a disaster midway that causes his cultivation to regress, or even causes serious injury and death, then of course there is no point in talking about anything.

In the world of immortal cultivation, if there are one or two Jindan cultivators out of ten who can eventually be promoted to Yuanying Zhenjun, it is considered good. Zhendan cultivators also have a certain chance, but fake Dan cultivators basically have no chance.

But now, with a Taoist partner like Ling Changqing, Liu Qianlan feels that she should not have to worry about anything.

"By the way, among the surrounding seas, which ones are ruled by Yuanying Zhenjun? Tell me!"

Ling Changqing said again.

"This... should be said to be a handful!"

Liu Qianlan said that in the surrounding thirty or forty sea areas, the major forces are basically dominated by Jindan cultivators, while the small forces only have foundation-building cultivators, and Yuanying True Lords are quite rare.

Even if a genius appears occasionally and achieves the Yuanying Zhenjun Dao fruit after going through all kinds of tribulations, it seems that they will not live long. They will always die halfway due to one accident or another, or leave their force and disappear.

Needless to say, this is most likely the result of secret activities by surrounding forces.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Qianlan took out a palm-sized white jade gourd and injected a little magic power into it. Suddenly, a burst of golden light emerged and turned into a huge magic power projection mirror.

The light mirror showed the scene of the coastal waters of Yuzhou continent, with the Feiyu Sea area prominently located in the middle, and on the side close to the vast ocean.

There are several seas of varying sizes between the Feiyu Sea and the Yuzhou Continent, and there are also many seas in the other two directions.

Relatively speaking, the coastline of Yuzhou Continent is not too long, so there are less than fifty sea areas that are considered to be within the traditional sphere of influence.

Yaozhou and Shunzhou, which are adjacent to Yuzhou, have much longer coastlines, and each has hundreds of affiliated sea areas within the near coast.

"... Husband, in the seas near Yuzhou, the number of seas with Yuanying Zhenjun in charge is less than 30%, and most of them are in the initial stage of Yuanying."

Liu Qianlan said softly, "They may have a bigger background, such as some Yuanying forces in the coastal areas of Yuzhou."

Ling Changqing nodded slightly. For thousands of years, these sea areas have remained fragmented and scattered, and have never been unified.

"My husband, my opinion is that the Ling family must have at least three Yuanying Zhenjuns in the future before we can consider the possibility of annexing the Chixue Sea."

Liu Qianlan stared at Ling Changqing with her beautiful eyes and said solemnly.

"I understand this. I will definitely not rush into anything."

Ling Changqing spoke gently.

This stunningly beautiful woman is not exaggerating, and has been proven by countless bloody events in the past.

In this coastal area, a force can only control one sea area at most, and that is the limit.

If this force dares to expand further, it will inevitably be maliciously excluded and suppressed, or even wiped out, by the Yuanying forces in the coastal areas.

According to Xue Qingtan, after the Ling family took control of the Feiyu Sea, they have been put on the key observation list of those Yuanying forces in the coastal areas of Yuzhou.

If in the future, the Ling family really dares to directly swallow up the Chixue Sea, even if it is only a part of it, it is possible to attract their strong interference.

It is not allowed for too strong a force to appear in the coastal area of ​​Yuzhou, and unification is out of the question. This is the unspoken rule of the Yuanying forces in the coastal area of ​​Yuzhou.

If the Ling family wants to avoid this situation, they can only improve their own hard power as much as possible so that they will not be afraid of various conspiracies and calculations.
