Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 235 Zhao Wanyi: Must Keep Him

Just as Qin Mengxuan, the Grand Palace Master of Luhua Palace, came to the Deep Sea Dragon Palace in person to argue with Queen Bai Qingyi, Liuying Ziying, the head of the Liuying Family, also came to the Panyun Mountains, the headquarters of the Yu Family.

When this important person came to visit, the head of the Yu family naturally led a group of senior executives to greet him in person and showed him full courtesy.

Then, Liuying Ziying asked to have a private conversation with the head of the family and explained her purpose.

The head of the Yu family appeared calm on the surface, but he was somewhat surprised in his heart. After all, sisters Yu Ruoshuang and Yu Yalan acted on their own and had never informed their family elders beforehand.

Until now, he thought that the two girls were still in seclusion. If things were really as Liuying Ziying said, then wouldn't it be...

Moreover, the Liuying Family proposed to form an alliance with the Yu Family. There were also Luhua Palace and the Deep Sea Dragon Clan in the circle. This was a big deal and it would take him a while to make up his mind.

Of course, if it is for the son of luck, Ling Changqing, it seems that this matter is not impossible to consider.

Otherwise, if they really found Ling Changqing first and took control of him, wouldn’t the future of the Yu family be worrying?
Thinking of this, the head of the Yu family finally made up his mind and expressed his approval of this matter.

"...Go to their cave and dojo and check. If they are still there, call them over to discuss matters!"

The patriarch ordered.

Outside the secret hall, a female elder took orders and left.

Half an hour later, she came back to report without finding anything, saying that Yu Yalan, Yu Youqin and Yu Ruoshuang were no longer in the cave temple, and had left several years ago.

"it is as expected!"

Liuying Ziying sighed with a disappointed look: "It seems that they have probably found Ling Changqing now and are with him. It's really..."

She got angry when she thought of this. The girls from Liuying's family had signed marriage certificates with Ling Changqing. Why should he forget about them and get close to the girls from Yu's family?
In what way are the women of my Liuying family inferior to those girls of the Yu family?

The head of the Yu family pondered and said, "Fellow Daoist Liuying, since those girls have already...should we finalize this alliance as soon as possible? There are many things that need to be carefully considered."

The old guy looked calm, but he was secretly relieved in his heart. As long as his woman could stay with Ling Changqing, everything would be easy.

Even though they acted on their own, the three daughters of Yu Ruoshuang are undoubtedly the heroes of the family and will be heavily rewarded in the future.

Liuying Ziying nodded: "Then it's settled. We will join forces to find them and the son of destiny as soon as possible."

She is indeed a little anxious now. If she can think of this possibility, other major forces will be able to think of it sooner or later.

If we don't find Ling Changqing quickly and let someone else get there first, things will be difficult to deal with.

……

Zhao family territory.

Ling Changqing stayed in the Alchemy Palace for more than forty days. He used up all the medicinal herbs prepared by Zhao Wanyi and her sister, and refined them all into various second- and third-level pills.

At the same time, among those outstanding family members, seven cultivators at the peak of the foundation-building stage successfully broke through and achieved the True Dan realm, including two Golden Dan True Immortals.

In addition, there are more than 20 new fake elixir cultivators, all of whom have achieved breakthroughs through seclusion thanks to the resources bestowed by their families during this period.

This amount of combat power is not much for a Nascent Soul force, but it should not be underestimated.

In the past, when war broke out between Qin and Zhao, Yuanying Zhenjun, as a strategic deterrent force, rarely had the opportunity to take action personally.

Most of the time, it was the Jindan cultivators on both sides who were fighting desperately, while the foundation-building cultivators existed as logistical support and reserve forces.

Therefore, when the number of Yuanying Zhenjun is equal, Ling Changqing only needs to find a way to increase the combat power of the Zhao family at the Jindan level to ensure that the Zhao family will not fall at a disadvantage.

No matter how powerful the Qin family is, they can never possess a third-rank alchemist comparable to Ling Changqing, let alone the blessing of his supreme luck. It is only a matter of time before they are overtaken or even suppressed.

"...Okay, I'll come over in three months next time, okay?"

After closing the formation restriction, Ling Changqing slowly stood up and spoke to the twin sisters beside him.

This gives them time to collect herbal materials and prepare resources for the next transaction.

"Three months? Okay!"

Zhao Wanyi seemed a little reluctant to leave. She couldn't explain the feeling of being with Ling Changqing, but she just felt inexplicably comfortable and at peace.

What is even more rare is that nothing has happened in the family or outside in the past few months, and everything has been calm and peaceful.

Since the Qin family took in the traitor, it seems that there has been no further action, and I don't know if they are planning something big.

Therefore, the Zhao family has now had a chance to catch their breath, recover from the previous heavy blow, and even increase their strength slightly.

If this period of calm could last longer, with the help of Ling Changqing, the Zhao family would have more Jindan and Jianfa cultivators.

"Don't worry, I won't break my promise and will definitely come when the time comes."

Ling Changqing looked at the two sisters and asked thoughtfully, "You are both at the peak of the Golden Core stage now. When do you think you can try to break through to the Yuanying Zhenjun stage?"

"too difficult,"

Zhao Wanyi shook her head: "My sister and I don't have enough resources now. Even if we gather all the resources, I'm afraid we won't have much chance of success."

It is no small feat to break through from the Golden Elixir to the Nascent Soul Real Lord. There are many Golden Elixir Real Lords who have practiced hard for their entire lives, but ended up getting stuck at this hurdle, unable to make any progress, until they died of old age.

Moreover, resources such as the Infant-forming Pill are not easy to collect. Those major forces at the Spiritual Transformation level are doing their best to monopolize them and are unwilling to see too many Nascent Soul True Lords being born outside.

Even if one gathers enough spirit stones, it is still difficult to find a way to purchase this strategic resource. Even VIP customers of the three super chambers of commerce may not have a chance.

Therefore, the path to promotion for the Zhao Wanyi sisters was imaginably difficult. Without special circumstances, even Shangguan Qingying would not have had high hopes.

If the two sisters had some ideas before, now they have basically given up. With the family's financial situation, it is impossible to gather two resources for forming babies within a hundred years.

"I might be able to help you with this matter..."

Ling Changqing pondered and said that in fact, as long as the two women practiced dual cultivation with him, with the blessing of supreme luck and fortune, there would be a great chance of breaking through the shackles.

"really?"

Zhao Wanqing's beautiful eyes lit up, but then she became a little discouraged.

This guy's cultivation is not even as good as their sisters, what reliable method can he have? Most likely it's a lie, right?

Zhao Wanyi thought for a moment and asked, "Fellow Daoist Ling, what solution do you have? Why don't you tell me about it?"

"Well... you guys should try to collect resources first! As for how to do it specifically, it's hard to explain right now, but you'll know in the future!"

Ling Changqing said vaguely.

He couldn't say now that as long as you two were willing to practice dual cultivation with me, this matter would be a sure thing.

If he dared to say this, the two sisters would probably turn against him and fight with him.

Zhao Wanyi rolled her eyes at him coquettishly and said, "Okay, don't rush this matter. There will be opportunities in the future."

Ling Changqing packed his luggage and went out accompanied by the two sisters. He returned to the square in front of the jade archway and summoned the Tianzhou ship.

After a while, the Tianzhou ship slowly rose into the air and sped away.

"...Sister, do you think he was lying to us just now?"

Zhao Wanqing asked with a frown.

Helping them become Yuanying Zhenjun? How dare they brag about this? Even a real Yuanying Zhenjun wouldn't dare to make such a boast, right?
Zhao Wanyi thought for a moment, "If it was someone else, I definitely wouldn't believe it, but if it was him... I might as well wait and see."

She had such an inexplicable trust in Ling Changqing that even she herself couldn't explain the reason. Maybe that guy really could give her a surprise?

"I just don't believe it!"

Zhao Wanqing snorted, then smiled and said, "Of course, if he can really do it, it wouldn't be a big deal for both of us sisters to follow him!"

"Don't think too much,"

Zhao Wanyi glanced at her and said, "Mother originally intended for the two of us to be his Taoist partners, but he just didn't want to."

She was now convinced that Ling Changqing really had no intention of the Zhao family's foundation, and was just doing business. This made her feel relieved, but also a little disappointed, after all, she really wanted to keep Ling Changqing.

Forget it, I should go back and discuss it with my mother. Maybe she can give me more appropriate advice? I must find a way to keep him!

On the other hand, after leaving the Zhao family territory, Ling Changqing did not rush back to Changqing Island, but made a big circle and appeared in the market again.

But at this time, he had changed his appearance and turned into a burly man in black armor with a full beard.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is now a physical cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and a wandering cultivator who has just arrived.

Such people are not uncommon in the market, and they belong to a group that walks in the gray area.

Entering the market area, Ling Changqing still went to the branches of the three major super chambers of commerce, as well as those large and small business markets to buy things, and he did not stop until he had spent the last spirit stone he had, feeling unsatisfied.

His goal this time was not only to purchase more resources, but mainly to target some robbery gangs hidden in the market town.

Last time, because of Zhao Wanyi's unexpected appearance, these guys escaped the disaster, but Ling Changqing has not forgotten them and will still come to reap the rewards when he gets the chance.

Anyway, these guys are not members of the Zhao family. If they all die, the Zhao family market will only develop better.

Carrying a huge amount of wealth, Ling Changqing swaggered back and forth on the street several times, and as expected, some suspicious figures followed him.

A fat sheep that is alone is naturally the favorite prey of Jie Xiu, and he can eat it without any worries.

Although the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Golden Core is a bit difficult, it is not a big problem and can be solved by sending out a few more capable people.

Faced with the quietly approaching murderous intent, Ling Changqing pretended to be unaware and leisurely walked out of the market area. Then, he controlled the escape light and quickly flew away.

"...Hurry, hurry, don't let that fat sheep get away!"

Suddenly, there were faint shouts and curses from behind, and hundreds of escape lights appeared, chasing after them at lightning speed.

Faced with the methods of professional fishermen, these guys were fooled as expected.

Ling Changqing smiled secretly in his heart, accelerated without making a sound, and his flying sword knocked away the floating clouds and flew away, causing many Tribulation Cultivators behind him to chase after him relentlessly.

They chased and fled like this, and when they thought the time was almost right, Ling Changqing quietly slowed down. The many Tribulation Cultivators behind him thought that his magic power was exhausted, and they chased after him in great joy.

The ones who were chasing most vigorously were two tall and thin middle-aged men of similar appearance. They were wearing dark Taoist robes and the black swords in their hands gave off a strong bloody smell.

Facing the two guys who were staring at him eagerly, Ling Changqing said helplessly:
"My two Taoist friends, I am just a rough man with shallow cultivation and traveling around for business. I am not a beautiful woman with fairy-like appearance. Why do you have to chase me so closely?"

"..."

The two skinny middle-aged men looked at each other, and the one at the peak of the Golden Core stage grinned and said:

"Don't play tricks on us brothers. In short, hand over all the valuables you have and we will let you go today! Otherwise..."

"What else?"

Ling Changqing asked with a smile.

"Otherwise, you won't leave alive today!"

The two Tribulation Cultivators grinned fiercely, with spiritual light shining all over their bodies, and several layers of magical shields appeared.

Then the two men raised their black swords filled with bloodthirsty aura and approached from the left and right.

"Pity!"

Ling Changqing sighed.

"What's the pity?"

One of the robbery cultivators couldn't help but ask, without stopping his hands' actions.

"I mean, it's a pity for you two guys. With your spiritual root qualifications, you would have had the opportunity to impact the Yuanying Zhenjun realm in the future. I never thought that you would die here today!"

Ling Changqing said slowly.

"???"

The two brothers' expressions froze slightly. Before they could react, a tremendous force attacked them from behind. Along with a crackling sound, the magic shields on their bodies collapsed completely.

Then, a white, soft, and spotless hand appeared on each of their chests.

The owner of that hand was the dragon girl Luo Qingxuan. With one blow, she shattered their hearts and internal organs, and then she dug out the golden elixir with her backhand.

"Do not--!"

The two brothers roared in despair and shock and anger, their magic power running wildly and they were about to explode their golden elixirs in a fight.

But it was too late. The Blood Shadow Sword in Ling Changqing's hand swept across like a dragon exploring the sea. Two huge human heads flew into the sky, and their souls were swallowed by the Epoch Star Palace.

As for all the storage instruments and magic weapons on them, they naturally fell into Ling Changqing's hands first, leaving behind only their mutilated bodies.

Luo Qingxuan didn't have time to talk to Ling Changqing because more Tribulation Cultivators were approaching from behind.

Soon after, Yu Yalan, Yu Youqin and Yu Ruoshuang appeared one after another, along with Fu Yinxue and Meng Feiyu who came together this time.

With two Yuanying True Lords and several Jindan True Lords helping him, Ling Changqing is no longer afraid of these hyena-like cultivators.

Just like last time, after a short and fierce battle, these vicious robbery cultivators died one after another, and even their souls were not spared.

However, due to their large numbers, these ruthless robbery cultivators still seized the opportunity and left several wounds on Ling Changqing's body.

Moreover, Yu Youqin and Fu Yinxue, who were relatively weaker, suffered some injuries, but fortunately they were not serious.

After the last wave of cultivators died, Ling Changqing was still hanging in the air intact.

"Husband, are you okay?"

Yu Yalan said with concern and handed over a healing pill.

Ling Changqing did not refuse. He took the pill and swallowed it, then left with the girls on the Tianzhou ship.

A moment later, when a group of monks from the market town arrived, they saw blood all over the ground and large numbers of mutilated corpses scattered everywhere.

As for the perpetrator, he had long disappeared.

After a while, Zhao Wanyi and her sister, who had rushed over after hearing the news, asked the reason and were immediately overjoyed.

These disgusting garbage have been lurking in the dark areas of the market town all year round, doing all kinds of shameful things. They cannot be driven away, which has had a significant negative impact on the popularity of the market town.

Now they have hit a wall. Anyone who has reached the Jindan stage has been wiped out by outsiders. This is something the family has been longing for.

Perhaps after a long time, new robbers will emerge, but the peace of the market town for decades can still be guaranteed.

……

Qin family territory.

In the hall of the family headquarters, the current head of the family, Qin Zhongqi, leaned back in a jade chair, frowning as he listened to the elders reporting on various matters.

"…Wait, what did you just say?"

Qin Zhongqi interrupted and asked, "Have those injured Jindan elders of the Zhao family recovered recently?"

"Yes, Master."

Elder Qin Wuyan, who was in charge of intelligence affairs, answered cautiously: "It seems that they have received some key resource support, which is why they were able to recover so quickly."

Qin Zhongqi sneered, "After Zhao Hua came, the Zhao family no longer had any third-level alchemists available. Where did they get the medicinal resources to help the elders recover? Did they purchase them all from outside?"

Qin Wuyan whispered: "Our people haven't found out the news yet, but it shouldn't be long before the truth comes out."
