Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 236 Liuying Ziying: Have you found any trace of Ling Changqing?
As the current head of the Qin family, Qin Zhongqi naturally wants to achieve great things.

He was also a personal witness when his father rebelled against the Zhao family and set up his own family. There was no possibility of resolving his hatred for the Zhao family.

Bribing and inciting the third-level alchemist Zhao Hua to defect was a major move that Qin Zhongqi personally presided over, and it achieved quite good results.

Because of the actions of this traitor, the Zhao family suffered heavy losses, and it may take decades for them to recover, let alone continue to compete with the Qin family.

Once the old Yuanying Zhenjun of the Zhao family dies and no new Yuanying Zhenjun is born in time, the Qin family will probably become more aggressive and further squeeze the Zhao family's living space.

Under the current circumstances, the strategy of the Qin family's top brass is to gradually devour and eliminate the Zhao family's vitality through a series of small-scale conflicts and wars, and continue to weaken their influence.

There was nothing wrong with this plan. As long as the Zhao family's Jindan cultivators continued to be injured or die in the endless conflicts, and there were not enough new blood to replenish them, the decline of the Zhao family became inevitable.

Now, however, the situation seems to have changed so that this strategy is no longer effective.

Not only did the Zhao family have the ability to cure those Jindan cultivators, but new Jindan cultivators were even born, and the number of foundation-building cultivators was also increasing.

You have to know that the resources for forming a dan are not cheap, even for the Yuanying force, they cannot be squandered at will.

"…Immediately dispatch elite personnel to investigate and find out what is going on!"

Qin Zhongqi said coldly: "At this critical moment, I don't want any accidents to happen again! And those two girls, you should also send someone to keep a close eye on them!"

"Yes, master!"

Qin Wuyan replied solemnly.

Those two girls naturally refer to the Zhao Wanyi sisters. After all, their cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, and in the future they may have the opportunity to impact the Yuanying True Lord realm.

If that were the case, most of the Qin family's plans would fail. How could Qin Zhongqi tolerate this?

After Elder Qin Wuyan said goodbye and left, Qin Zhongqi breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and thought for a while, then he heard the sound of light footsteps.

A Jindan monk with fair complexion, elegant clothes and handsome features walked in. After bowing, he respectfully called out:
"Master, do you want to call me for something?"

Qin Zhongqi looked up and smiled: "It's Elder Zhao Hua, sit down and talk!"

This guy is the third-level alchemist who betrayed the Zhao family: Zhao Hua.

On the Qin family's side, Zhao Hua, relying on his level of alchemy, was not only appointed by Qin Zhongqi as the deputy hall master of the Alchemy Hall and the core elder of the family, but he also married his two illegitimate daughters and received a large sum of money and property as a reward.

Since the Qin family also had a third-rank top-grade alchemist whose level was even higher than Zhao Hua, the position of the Alchemy Palace Master was not given to him.

Of course, Zhao Hua was quite satisfied with the status and authority of a core elder. This was a treatment that even the Zhao family did not give him.

Zhao Hua bowed to express his thanks, then sat down on a chair nearby.

"Tell me, how many medicinal resources are there in the Zhao family's warehouse? How many spirit stones are in stock?"

Qin Zhongqi didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "They've suffered such a huge loss, their financial resources should be almost exhausted, right? Why has the situation changed now?"

"This one……"

Zhao Hua was slightly startled, and after thinking for a while, he said, "As far as I know, the Zhao family does have some inventory. If we save some money, it won't be a problem to hold on for three to five years.

Moreover, they can also partially alleviate the dilemma by purchasing resources from outside. After all, the Yuanying Zhenjun is still alive, and those chambers of commerce outside will not make things difficult for them for the time being. "

Even though the Zhao family suffered a loss due to carelessness, their past prestige and influence are still there, and Yuanying Zhenjun is still there. Most of the time, those chambers of commerce maintain a neutral and wait-and-see attitude, and naturally will not make things difficult for the Zhao family.

"That's true."

Qin Zhongqi nodded and said: "For the next three years, you don't have to do anything else, just focus on refining the Crystal Condensation Transformation Pill with Elder Xuhui, right?
Our family needs more Jindan monks, so other alchemy plans can be postponed."

"Yes, master."

Zhao Hua nodded and agreed.

"Work hard, and when the Zhao family is overthrown in the future, you will be the Qin family's number one contributor, and you will get all the benefits!"

Qin Zhongqi said in a deep voice.

In his heart, he didn't really like this cheap son-in-law, but he thought he was still useful, so he gave him some benefits.

Zhao Hua agreed, thought for a moment, and mustered up the courage to say, "Master, if the Zhao family is gone in the future, can you leave the twin sisters to the younger generation?"

"Haha, of course there is no problem with this. When the time comes, you can pick any of the Zhao family's young ladies or wives!"

Qin Zhongqi felt more and more disdainful in his heart, but he said it with a smile on his face.

"That's good. I would like to thank the Patriarch for his generosity!"

Zhao Hua said happily.

He still has Zhao Wanyi and her sister in his mind. After destroying the Zhao family's foundation in the future, he will definitely turn them into his slaves, lock them in a secret room, and torture them.

……

Northern Yuzhou.

For safety reasons, Ling Changqing did not return to Changqing Island. At this moment, he had changed his appearance and appeared in the territory of a sect called Danyang Valley.

Even if they traveled by a high-grade magic flying boat, this place would still take more than a year to reach the Zhao family.

However, with the important weapon, the Other Shore Wuxian Gate, by his side, Ling Changqing naturally did not need to travel so hard. He could reach the destination in an instant with just a thought.

Danyang Valley is a vassal force of the Tang family among the nine great families. There are three Yuanying Zhenjuns in the sect, and the foundation has been passed down for more than a thousand years. In this area with a radius of millions of miles, it is a veritable overlord-level existence.

The external market in Danyang Valley is not only large in scale, but also has abundant resources, both in quantity and variety.

Here, foundation-building and false elixir cultivators are everywhere, even true elixir cultivators are not uncommon, and from time to time you can see golden elixir real people passing by in a hurry.

Ling Changqing wandered around the market town and found that the prices here were indeed much higher, but the various purchase restrictions were more relaxed.

For foreign cultivators who are not short of spirit stones, this is a good place where they can buy the resources they need more easily.

Even elixir-forming resources such as the Crystal-Condensing Transformation Pill, third-level life-extending elixirs, and mid- and low-level magic weapons can all be purchased here.

As for some auctions held regularly, it is said that there are real fourth-level resources appearing. Whether it is various materials or finished elixirs, array talismans, Taoist puppets, and martial arts manuals, there is no shortage of them.

After shopping to his heart's content, Ling Changqing found a high-end inn, threw out a handful of spirit stones, and chose a courtyard with a third-level spirit vein to supply spiritual energy to settle down.

In the training room, Ling Changqing activated layers of shielding restrictions, set up a circle of formations, and then released Luo Qingxuan and the other girls.

"We can't go home for a while...right?"

Meng Feiyu looked around and asked with a frown.

Ling Changqing nodded and said, "This is the current situation. People from those powerful forces are hanging around in the coastal areas!"

Yu Ruoshuang smiled and said, "It's okay to walk around outside. Should we make a public appearance in a couple of days? We can mislead the judgment of various forces."

Ling Changqing pondered and said, "We can give it a try. We can't let them keep their eyes on the Feiyu Sea."

Luo Qingxuan smiled and said, "I have no objection. It depends on how you, my husband, arrange it."

This place belongs to the Tang family's sphere of influence. Once Luo Qingxuan, Yu Ruoshuang and the others show their tracks here, those big forces will inevitably wonder if the son of luck has any relationship with the Tang family? Is he staying here?
Next, they will certainly send a large number of elite personnel to verify the authenticity of the matter.

The top leaders of the Tang family will not turn a blind eye to this either. They will definitely send out their top combat forces to defend their sphere of influence and search for Ling Changqing's whereabouts. In this way, the troubles in the Feiyu Sea will naturally cease to exist.

"Okay, let's count the spoils, shall we?"

As Ling Changqing spoke, he took out all the storage instruments that he had looted from the group of robbery cultivators, as well as various magic weapons and instruments, and spread them all over the floor.

Some of the storage magic tools have been emptied by him, and the spiritual stone resources previously spent on purchasing were contributed by these robbery cultivators.

The women worked together to break the restrictions on all the storage instruments, then poured out the contents and stacked them up according to categories.

After an inventory, in which all the spirit stones, magic weapons, medicinal herbs, talismans and other resources were taken into account, these tribulation cultivators contributed a total of more than three thousand high-quality spirit stones to Ling Changqing.

Among more than thirty intact magic weapons, Ling Changqing picked out a pair of boots made of bat-wing fire cloud beast skin. They were mid-grade magic weapons with good speed and defense.

"Husband, this quasi-fourth-level talisman is not bad, take it!"

Yu Ruoshuang handed over five clear and bright talismans, with a powerful spiritual pressure hidden without revealing it.

Ling Changqing took it and glanced at it, and found that it was the Extreme Cold Storm Talisman, a very practical large-scale attack spell that could produce a lethality equivalent to that of a peak Jindan cultivator.

He took it without refusing and put it in his storage bag.

Then Luo Qingxuan picked out a pair of palm-sized jade dolls and gave them to Ling Changqing.

This is a special third-level puppet. After being sacrificed and activated, it can be transformed into a pair of Taoist puppets at the peak of the Golden Core stage, with a duration of three hundred breaths.

"If you guys like anything, take it and keep it."

Ling Changqing said finally.

Luo Qingxuan and Yu Ruoshuang had no use for these. Yu Yalan, Yu Youqin, Meng Feiyu and other girls each picked one or two pieces, and the rest were still put into the storage bag by Ling Changqing.

"right now we……"

Fu Yinxue was about to say something when Meng Feiyu interrupted her:
"Should we let our husband practice dual cultivation with us for a while? We've been missing each other for so long since we last touched each other!"

When they were in the Zhao family's territory, Ling Changqing had no chance to ask them to come out and accompany him. Only now did he have some free time.

Yu Ruoshuang blushed and immediately took out an oversized jade embroidered couch from her storage bag and placed it in the center of the training room.

Then the girls started to take out dressing tables, wardrobe screens, spring stools and rocking chairs, and soon set up a luxurious and elegant boudoir.

"Okay, let's practice together for ten days, and then go out!"

Ling Changqing smiled, Luo Qingxuan had already swiftly taken off her dress, and her plump and charming body sat directly in his arms.

Yu Ruoshuang, Fu Yinxue, Meng Feiyu and other beautiful girls had rosy faces. They took off their clothes one after another, and their snow-white and dazzling bodies gathered around.

The enticing scenery that follows is not something that can be told to outsiders...

……

Ten days passed in a flash. When Ling Changqing stood up with his almost exhausted body, he found that his cultivation had improved again and he was not far from the late Jindan stage.

"...Husband, you're up so early?"

The rosy-faced Luo Qingxuan spoke in a sweet voice, wrapping her serpentine arms around him, with seductiveness flowing in her beautiful eyes.

"Is that about it? It's time to get down to business."

Ling Changqing spoke gently, and as his mental method was put into practice, spiritual energy rapidly flowed into his internal organs and meridians, restoring his energy and spirit to its peak state.

Under the brocade quilt, Yu Ruoshuang, who was massaging his legs attentively, lowered her head and said in a moment of leisure:

"Then let's practice for three more rounds, and then we'll..."

Fu Yinxue beside him couldn't help but chuckle: "Does every sister have to come for three rounds?"

"What else do you think?"

Yu Ruoshuang smiled, straightened her snow-white and attractive plump body, and shook her long, shiny black hair.

Ling Changqing knew that this stunningly beautiful woman was going to do something bad again, and he did not say anything to refuse...

It was not until the evening that Ling Changqing and the girls, who had had their fill of fun, got up from bed, tidied themselves up, and left the courtyard together.

In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Meng Feiyu and Fu Yinxue both wore veils, while Yu Ruoshuang and the others showed their real faces.

Sure enough, after strolling on the street for a while, Ling Changqing and his group attracted a lot of secret attention.

With his keen spiritual perception and attainment in the secret art of heaven, it was not difficult for him to sense the shock and ecstasy hidden in certain gazes, and then there were more suspicious figures following behind him in the distance.

"If those three old guys from Danyang Valley take action themselves, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them, right?"

Ling Changqing said.

Luo Qingxuan said: "I heard that the headmaster is already in the late Nascent Soul stage. If Sister Shuang is not good at fighting, it will not be easy for us to kill him even if we join forces. We can only choose to avoid him."

"Fortunately, we don't need to confront them head-on,"

Meng Feiyu smiled and said, "Since the news has spread now, shall we go back to the inn first?"

Ling Changqing naturally had no objection and returned with the girls. After confirming the suspicious figures, they immediately and quietly surrounded the entire inn.

At the same time, certain secret channels have been activated to send out this important news at an extremely urgent speed.

Goddess Mountains, Liuying Family Headquarters.

"...What did you say? Have you found Ling Changqing's trace?"

In the secret hall, Liuying Ziying suddenly stood up from the throne and asked in surprise and joy.

"Absolutely true!"

A secret guard wrapped in a thick grey robe whispered:

"In the Danyang Valley Market in the north of Yuzhou, one of our spies saw the Dragon Girl Luo Qingxuan and the three female cultivators from the Yu family. They were shopping with a young man..."

As she spoke, she handed a jade talisman to Liuying Ziying.

The patriarch took it and activated it skillfully, and suddenly a very clear image appeared before his eyes.

"That's right, the man they are accompanying must be Ling Changqing!"

Liuying Ziying's voice trembled slightly with excitement:

"Immediately dispatch the family's supreme elders, take those important family treasures, and go there as quickly as possible. We must bring Ling Changqing back safely!"

Wentian Mountains, the important gate of Luhua Palace.

“…Without further delay, all the sect’s supreme elders will be dispatched. Follow me!”

Grand Palace Master Qin Mengxuan gave the order with a serious look.
