Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 229 Ling Changqing: Fishermen never come back empty-handed

Qinjiafang City, Huanzhen Pavilion Chamber of Commerce branch.

The magnificent and majestic palace was several stories high. One of the floors was where cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi training could enter.

The second level area requires the late stage of Qi training to enter.

The third-floor area only accepts foundation-building cultivators, while the fourth-floor area is only open to Jindan cultivators.

This is the traditional style of the Huanzhen Pavilion Chamber of Commerce. Customers are strictly ranked, and treatment is directly linked to the level of cultivation. No one can exceed their duties.

There are five floors above the fourth floor, but only Yuanying Zhenjun is qualified to set foot there.

In fact, apart from the two Yuanying ancestors of the Qin family, there are very few outside Yuanying True Lords, so the fifth floor has been idle all year round.

At this time, Ling Changqing was sitting in a luxurious VIP room on the fourth floor.

The welcoming maids around were all beautiful female cultivators in the late stage of Qi training. They were dressed coolly, had graceful figures, and large areas of snow-white skin were clearly visible.

The jade table was filled with various exquisite snacks and spiritual tea.

"...Fellow Daoist Ling, you can choose from the resources on this jade list at will. If you have any questions, just speak up."

The deacon who received him was a beautiful young woman with willow-shaped eyebrows and phoenix-shaped eyes, and a graceful demeanor. She had reached the late True Dan stage of cultivation, was dressed in a snow-white Taoist robe, and had a very polite attitude.

Ling Changqing looked at the jade slip atlas in his hand, which listed thousands of types of resources, as well as corresponding introductions, quantities, etc.

These cultivation resources are all of the third tier, corresponding to the Jindan-stage cultivators, including Jindan-stage resources such as the Ningjing Tufan Pill and Yuanqingjing Huashui, as well as the third tier Rejuvenating Pill and Longevity Sustaining Pill.

As for resources such as formations, puppets, spirit pets, talismans and magical instruments, they have everything, and their quality is directly proportional to the price.

Ling Changqing thought about it and remembered that the last time he went to the Chixue Sea to sweep the area, he took down the three Jindan forces and a large number of Jindan cultivators. The various spoils he brought back were worth more than 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones.

With your own private money and some of the family funds in your custody, it is not difficult to go on a shopping spree here.

You can purchase up to fifty copies of the resources in the list, such as talismans, pills, disposable magic tools, etc. that require high consumption.

As for some strategic resources, usually only one or two can be purchased, and the price is generally high.

However, the purchase restrictions for second-level resources are much more relaxed, such as foundation-building pills and longevity pills.

The Ling family now has basically no shortage of medicinal resources, so Ling Changqing chose various herbal raw materials.

Not only are the raw materials cheap, but there are also fewer restrictions. It is not a problem to buy hundreds of them at one time. You can take them home and make the elixirs yourself, which is more cost-effective.

"Friend Xu, I bought quite a lot of things this time, especially some scarce resources. Is there any problem?"

Ling Changqing looked up at the beautiful deacon and went straight to the point.

The beautiful female True Dan cultivator was slightly startled, and after thinking for a while, she said:

"If Fellow Daoist Ling can come up with enough spirit stones, this will certainly not be a problem."

Of course, the Chamber of Commerce has certain restrictions on customers' large-scale purchasing behavior, but as long as the cultivation level is high enough and there are enough spirit stone resources, many rules can actually be flexible.

People with a high enough level of cultivation will always enjoy many conveniences, whether they are reasonable or not, this is the reality.

"Okay then, I'll start choosing!"

As Ling Changqing spoke, he began to mark on the jade slip album, making sure to include all types of resources that the family could use.

After a moment, Ling Changqing handed the selected list back to the other party. The deacon took it and looked at it, and said meaningfully:

"It seems that you are an important figure from a certain force? But it doesn't matter. Our Chamber of Commerce is only concerned with doing business. As long as you can provide enough spirit stones, it's okay to give you all these resources."

With her vision and experience, it was not difficult for her to guess Ling Changqing's intentions, and this situation was not too uncommon in the past.

"I have brought the spirit stone with me, please check it."

As Ling Changqing spoke, he took off a storage bracelet from his wrist and placed it on the table in front of him.

Inside the storage bracelet, there are neatly stacked high-quality spirit stones, totaling one thousand pieces.

According to the exchange rate of one to one hundred, this is a full 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones. In fact, it may be slightly higher because high-grade spirit stones are usually rare and hard to get.

The female deacon picked up the storage bracelet and used her divine sense to examine it briefly. She looked surprised, but her tone became more respectful:

"Fellow Daoist Ling is indeed very generous. In that case, please wait for a moment. I will ask them to deliver the things as soon as possible."

She has been in charge of this place for many years, and big customers like Ling Changqing are rare.

Ling Changqing nodded, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

He was not worried about what tricks the other party would play. As a powerful force with a history of tens of thousands of years, the credibility of Huanzhen Pavilion could still be guaranteed.

The wealth of a mere Jindan cultivator is not worth them breaking the rules.

A moment later, several beautiful female cultivators walked in. Each of them held a large jade tray in their hands, with exquisite storage bags placed on the bright yellow satin background.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, all the resources you requested are here. Please check and accept them."

The deaconess spoke gently.

Ling Changqing agreed, took out a storage bag, explored it briefly with his spiritual sense, and nodded with satisfaction.

There are four storage bags in total, and the cultivation resources inside are classified into different categories, with no deviation in quantity and quality.

"Okay, I'm very satisfied with this deal. I hope we can have another chance to cooperate next time!"

Ling Changqing said as he put away all four storage bags.

"Of course, we look forward to continued cooperation with Fellow Daoist Ling!"

The female deacon named Xu said with a smile.

After chatting for a few more words, Ling Changqing said goodbye and the deacon personally escorted him out the door.

After returning to the street, Ling Changqing was not in a hurry to leave. He calmly threw a few storage bags into the paradise of Jiyuan Star Palace, and then turned to the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce branch.

Anyway, I have enough spirit stones on me, so it doesn’t matter if I spend them all here when I return.

Half an hour later, Ling Changqing walked out of the door with a satisfied look, followed by the smiling deacon of the Chamber of Commerce.

The third stop was naturally the branch of Juhaixuan, where another round of shopping took place.

A day passed quietly, and when night fell, a satisfied Ling Changqing stayed in the largest luxurious inn in the market.

In addition to the branches of the three major chambers of commerce, Ling Changqing visited all the other second- and third-rate business markets and shady underground trading venues, and gained a lot of valuable things.

In the room, Ling Changqing leisurely instructed the maid to prepare a sumptuous banquet. After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he returned to his bedroom to rest.

"Fellow Daoist, do you need a female cultivator to sleep with you?"

At the door, a maid in red asked with a mysterious smile.

This kind of high-end inn offers top-notch amenities in every aspect, including the female cultivators who serve you. As long as you have enough spiritual stones, the inn's behind-the-scenes owner can help you arrange for a female cultivator at the Golden Core level, let alone a Qi training and foundation building level.

Ling Changqing naturally did not agree. He sent the other person away with a few words and locked the door.

Even though he had the intention of fishing, he did not intend to provoke those female cultivators for no reason.

Lying on the large bed, Ling Changqing began to communicate with Gong Ling.

"...Master, there are at least six forces out there targeting you!"

Gong Ling's soft and pleasant voice sounded in the sea of ​​consciousness.

A cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm is enough to make most Tribulation Cultivators be cautious, but it is still not enough to guarantee one's own absolute safety.

"I know. We originally wanted to fish them out. How can we do that without enough people?"

Ling Changqing said with a smile.

He wandered around outside in such a swagger, visiting all the resource trading places. Anyone with a little vision would know that a wealthy customer had come to the market.

Among the six forces, in addition to several robbery gangs, there are also shady underground chambers of commerce organizations, and maybe even some of the Qin family’s children are involved.

In their eyes, fat sheep from outside like Ling Changqing are rare and must not be let go.

Maybe after completing this order, it will be enough for them to eat for many years.

Of course Ling Changqing didn't care much. According to his calculations, most of these gangs were cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages, and the highest one was only in the late Golden Core stage.

To others, a Jindan-level Tribulation Cultivator was already an unimaginable nightmare-level existence. Ordinary targets were not even worth their effort.

But from Ling Changqing's point of view, unless the opponent is at the Yuanying Zhenjun level, he doesn't need to take him seriously.

It just so happens that I have almost used up all the spiritual stone resources on me, so it would be great to get some of them back from these robbery gangs.

The next morning, Ling Changqing got up early, had a hearty breakfast, checked out and left the inn.

After strolling for a while, Ling Changqing indeed discovered that there was a group of secretive followers following him, watching him from afar.

He pretended not to notice anything and continued wandering around, acting like a street urchin for quite some time.

After thinking it was about time, Ling Changqing changed direction and headed towards the exit area of ​​the market town.

His action immediately made the guys behind him nervous, and hidden auras quickly gathered towards the exit area. It was obvious what they were doing.

When they arrived at the place, Ling Changqing exerted force on his feet, and his whole body turned into a stream of light and disappeared in a flash.

"… Bastard! This guy is going to run away!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Stop him!"

"You bastards! This big fish is what our Fish Dragon Association has set its eyes on, so you better know what's best for you!"

"Come on, whoever grabs it first owns it!"

……

Amidst the chaotic shouting and cursing, large groups of light rose into the air like fireworks, rushing towards Ling Changqing at a rapid speed.

As robbery cultivators, it should be said that these guys are quite capable. Almost everyone of them has a high-speed flying sword, which is a very practical means no matter whether they are chasing targets or escaping.

"Very good! More people, I like it this way..."

Ling Changqing smiled secretly in his heart, increased his speed, and led this group of guys to run wildly above the sky.

The guys behind suddenly became more anxious, and they used all their strength to hold on to Ling Changqing's figure.

They rushed on like this for more than half an hour, and there were less than ten cultivators who could still follow behind, all of whom were tough guys in the middle and late Jindan stages.

As for those guys who were left far behind, there were hundreds of them, ranging from the early stage of Golden Core to the True Core and False Core foundation building stages.

"Almost done, let's deal with this wave first, and then deal with the rest..."

Ling Changqing muttered, slowed down his flying sword, and then stopped in the clouds.

The group of Tribulation Cultivators who were chasing after him were a little surprised, but after all, there was only one target, and with the interference of some mysterious fate, they did not think there was any trick and continued to speed up and chase after him.

After dozens of breaths, Ling Changqing was forced to a dangerous distance.

"...Boy, you are really brave!"

The leader, a bald old man with a hooked nose and wearing a black Taoist robe, looked Ling Changqing up and down and said grimly:
"Which family did you run away from? You are so ostentatious outside. Didn't your master tell you to be cautious and low-key?"

Ling Changqing spread his hands, looking innocent: "I really don't know, is there anything wrong with that?"

"Haha, then I will teach you a good lesson today. Being too ostentatious will bring you harm!"

The bald old man smiled sinisterly, shook his hand and threw out a net-like magical weapon surrounded by black smoke. The weapon changed into a size of several acres in the air in the wind and quickly covered Ling Changqing.

This old guy is planning to capture this guy alive so that he can not only plunder all the wealth from this kid, but he can also become a kidnapper and extort some benefits from the forces behind him?
Ling Changqing smiled slightly, waved his hand and summoned the Mingyue Tianluo Flag. A tough and thick light curtain surged out, blocking the bald old man's attack.

"Boy, you have a lot of good stuff on you!"

The greed in the bald old man's eyes became more and more intense, and he took out a flying needle-shaped magic weapon.

But before he could make his move, a warning sign suddenly arose in his heart.

Unprecedented severe pain struck from behind him, causing the bald old man's face to twist instantly and he almost fainted.

He turned his head with great effort, and saw a tall, stunningly beautiful woman who had appeared behind him at some point. She had a half-smile on her face, and the long sword in her hand had already crushed his internal organs and heart veins.

"Dragon Girl? Yuanying..."

When the bald old man was about to die, he realized that this was an elaborate trap, but unfortunately he could do nothing at this moment.

If I had known that the other party had a Yuanying Zhenjun guard, why would I have come to join in the fun? Do you think your life is too long?
A moment later, the incomplete body of the bald old man fell straight down from mid-air. All his belongings had been looted, and even his soul had been swallowed by the Epoch Star Palace.

Seeing this, several Jindan Tribulation cultivators who were approaching at high speed were horrified and slowed down in an attempt to escape, but it was too late.

There was a loud sound of wind and thunder in the air, and Luo Qingxuan's figure suddenly appeared and disappeared. With the cooperation of Xue Qingtan and Tang Qiuyao, within ten breaths, all seven Jindan Tribulation cultivators died.

Then, it was the turn of the real and fake elixir cultivators further back.

But in a moment, the air became quiet again.

“Fishing feels so good!”

Holding a large pile of storage tools that he had looted, Ling Changqing said with satisfaction.

A classic quote from the previous life: A fisherman will never come back empty-handed, and the same is true in this time and space.
