Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 241 Ling Changqing: Living off someone for free doesn’t sound good, but it really tastes good
Considering the future situation, Ling Qiyue finally decided to accept Qin Mengxuan's suggestion and invested a lot of resources to upgrade the protective formation of the Changqingzhou family headquarters to the fourth level.

In addition, other important areas and islands should also be protected by third-level superior formations. When necessary, as long as a certain number of monks are deployed, they can hold out for a long enough time.

There must also be a corresponding number of third- and fourth-order Taoist puppets, and a sufficient number of third- and fourth-order talismans and elixir resource reserves, which must be in place.

These are important criteria for measuring the strength of a family's foundation, and are also the guarantee for supporting long-term, high-intensity warfare.

The scale of this plan is undoubtedly large enough, and the various expenses are beyond the reach of ordinary Jindan forces. However, with the current financial resources of the Ling family, there is no big problem.

"...This is my special token. My husband, take it and go to some secret channels to buy resources. As long as you have spirit stones, they won't make things difficult for you!"

Qin Mengxuan handed an exquisite jade seal to Ling Changqing. Luhua Palace has many secret industries in various places, such as underground chambers of commerce and markets, which can earn a huge amount of gray income every year.

With the token of the supreme master of Luhua Palace, Ling Changqing can enter and exit these places freely and purchase various resources more conveniently at reasonable prices.

"Will this not expose your husband's identity?"

Tang Qiuyao asked with some concern.

Qin Mengxuan shook her head: "It's okay. They have always only recognized tokens and not people. My husband can change his appearance to meet them and not stay in one place for too long. It is completely guaranteed that there will be no problems."

"That's fine."

Ling Changqing breathed a sigh of relief. Such a secret resource supply channel could provide much greater help than what Xue Qingtan could currently provide. Even fourth-level resources could be purchased.

Perhaps as long as enough spirit stones are collected, Ling Changqing and the other girls can consider purchasing resources such as the Infant Forming Pills from this channel in the future.

"My husband, you are good at alchemy. I will bring you some alchemy recipes someday. As for this alchemy furnace... it is enough for now, so you don't need to change it yet."

Qin Mengxuan said with a sweet smile.

The Shuoyue Qingyang Furnace is a top-grade magical weapon. It was the spoils looted from that wandering sect. It is a good thing that only Nascent Soul forces can have.

Next, Ling Changqing took Qin Mengxuan out and spent several days touring Changqing Island and then other important islands in the Feiyu Sea.

"This place has a good foundation. The only drawback is that it does not have a fourth-order spiritual vein. Otherwise, it could definitely give birth to a Nascent Soul force."

Qin Mengxuan said thoughtfully.

Ling Changqing said: "This is actually not a problem. When the time is right, we can just go and grab a few sea areas with fourth-level spirit veins."

"It's hard to say. If those Yuanying forces in the coastal areas of Yuzhou intervene, your family may not be able to withstand it!"

Qin Mengxuan frowned.

Xue Qingtan said, "Most of the Yuanying forces in the coastal areas are vassals of Luhua Palace. Sister, can you make them behave themselves?"

The Wentian Mountains, the core base of Luhua Palace, is located in the eastern part of Yuzhou Continent, not too far from the coastal areas.

Therefore, many of the Yuanying and Jindan forces near the coast are vassals of Luhua Palace.

Qin Mengxuan shook her head and said, "Only half at most. Some of the remaining Nascent Soul forces belong to the Yu family, and some belong to the Saint Yu Immortal Dynasty. They will be difficult to deal with."

Moreover, for the sake of confidentiality, Qin Mengxuan's attitude cannot be too obvious, otherwise certain forces inside and outside Luhua Palace will become suspicious.

Ling Changqing smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. As long as I become a Yuanying Zhenjun in the future, it will be no problem to deal with them."

After all, one's own strength is the key. As long as the Ling family grows into a senior Nascent Soul force in the future, with many Nascent Soul True Lords in charge, why would they need to care about the attitudes of those guys?

Even if you turn against each other and start a war, as long as you defeat the other party, you will naturally be right.

Only the winner has the right to speak, this is the iron rule of the world of immortal cultivation.

"Yeah, that's the truth."

Qin Mengxuan nodded. With Ling Changqing's growth rate, it wouldn't take too long to wait.

"Okay, I'll go back to Luhua Palace now."

She pulled Ling Changqing aside and said with her mind: "I will come over later. You must protect yourself and don't run around anymore."

After thinking for a while, Qin Mengxuan took out a storage bag and gave it to him: "This is for you. If you need money in the future, just tell me directly."

Ling Changqing took the storage bag, explored it with his spiritual sense, and found that there were 10,000 high-quality spirit stones inside, which was a huge fortune for ordinary Nascent Soul forces.

He didn't refuse and took it directly.

Although living off someone for money doesn't have a very good reputation, it really tastes good.

After flirting for a while, Qin Mengxuan hugged him reluctantly and kissed him, then she drove away on the Tianzhou ship, turning into a stream of light and disappearing at the end of the sky.

She had already made up her mind that after returning, she would conduct a thorough internal investigation and eliminate all the disciples who were suspected of being spies, and also carefully identify those who seemed to be innocent.

When she comes next time, she will bring several of her direct disciples and trusted confidants with her, and let them stay by Ling Changqing's side and serve him all year round, so that she can feel at ease.

Given Qin Mengxuan's status, she cannot stay with Ling Changqing for a long time. So in order to win favor and balance the influence of Ling Qiyue and other women, there must be enough women from Luhua Palace joining in.

Of course, Qin Mengxuan is still pondering whether or not to integrate the vassal forces of Luhua Palace in the coastal areas and let them secretly clamp down on the Yu family and the vassal forces of the Shengyu Immortal Dynasty to prevent them from paying attention to the Feiyu Sea.

The key point is that Ling Changqing is unwilling to leave the Ling family in Changqingzhou, which makes things more difficult.

Otherwise, according to Qin Mengxuan's original idea, even if Ling Changqing could not be brought back to the gate of Luhua Palace openly, as long as he was secretly hidden in a secret cave, his safety would be much better than it is now.

At that time, let all the saints and elders go over to accompany him in his practice. This can not only keep it secret but also help cultivate feelings. Who knows, after a few years, they might even have children.

Who else could compete with Luhua Palace at that time? The rise and growth of a sect, and even the unification of this world, were no longer distant fantasies.

In this situation now, we can only take one step at a time.

Here, Ling Changqing, Ling Qiyue and other girls returned to the family headquarters to continue practicing with them.

Since Ling Changqing has advanced to the late Jindan stage, the effect of dual cultivation between the girls and him has also increased greatly. For them, one round of cultivation is equivalent to saving themselves more than three months of hard practice.

This refers to women at the Jindan Zhenren realm. If it is a female cultivator at the foundation-building level, the effect of dual cultivation with Ling Changqing will be more significant, and the speed of cultivation improvement can be seen with the naked eye.

Therefore, half a month later, Ling Xueyu and Ling Zhiqing both accumulated enough knowledge and successfully entered the realm of Golden Core True Person.

As a result, the Ling family now has a total of sixteen Jindan Zhenjuns, plus two Yuanying Zhenjuns, Yu Ruoshuang and Luo Qingxuan. Their strength is very strong and they are second to none in this sea area.

Mu Yuxin, Yang Yunfei, and Song Xuelan have now reached the peak of foundation building, and it will not be long before they can be promoted.

Xiao Meiniang, Chen Zihan, Li Hanyou, and Ling Menghuan are now in the middle stage of foundation building and are not far from the late stage.

Tang Qiuyao, Ling Yulu, Qin Yun, Yu Youqin, and Ling Yuzhu are now close to the late Jindan stage. Liu Qianlan, who entered the sect not long ago, has also reached the peak of Jindan.

Ling Qiyue and Yu Yalan have already accumulated enough resources. As long as the corresponding resources are in place, they can consider going into seclusion to impact the Nascent Soul True Lord realm.

As for resources such as the Infant-Forming Pill, Xue Qingtan has already promised to find a way, and now with the secret channel provided by Qin Mengxuan, there shouldn't be any problem.

Dragon girl Luo Qingxuan is now in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Before Yu Ruoshuang came, she was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul. Now not only has her lifespan been fully restored, she is not far from the peak of the Nascent Soul.

In the inner room of the boudoir.

"...Husband, the family's new batch of fairy seed selection plan will depend on you to preside over it again."

Ling Qiyue turned over on the jade embroidered couch, and her plump and charming body pressed Ling Changqing's legs and said, her beautiful face blushed, and her bright and beautiful eyes were full of charm. "That's no problem,"

Ling Changqing hugged Yu Ruoshuang's smooth and tight waist and whispered:

"But I don't plan to accept any more female disciples. Anyway, the family now has a little more available manpower, so I will let them grow on their own in the future!"

"Well, but if there are people with outstanding qualifications, you still have to help them, my husband."

Tang Qiuyao, who was naked beside him and was feeding him snow seeds, smiled as she heard what he said.

Ling Qiyue and the other girls had no objection to this. Given Ling Changqing's current status, female cultivators in the Qi training stage were no longer qualified to approach him, and were not even qualified to be his maids.

At least a female cultivator who has cultivated to the foundation-building stage will be qualified for him to take a second look at her. If she is outstanding, she will be given the opportunity to be further cultivated by him.

Therefore, those female cultivators who followed Ling Changqing at the beginning were all lucky ones among millions. They met him before he grew up and had the opportunity to change their fate.

In the future, as Ling Changqing's cultivation becomes higher and higher, the female cultivators who can get close to him will inevitably be more outstanding, and they will inevitably reach the Nascent Soul stage and the Divine Transformation stage, or even have higher cultivation levels.

"In that case, regarding the Zhao family... are you still planning to go there, husband?"

Ling Qiyue asked.

"Of course I will go,"

Ling Changqing said: "These are our family's own connections, and we need to continue to maintain them. We can't rely on Luhua Palace..."

Even though Qin Mengxuan is the Grand Palace Master of Luhua Palace, it does not mean that she has the final say in this sect, so Ling Changqing never thought of relying on them from the beginning.

In fact, even his current relationship with Qin Mengxuan is not necessarily completely equal. After all, the gap in their cultivation is too big.

If some of the supreme elders of Luhua Palace insisted on making a fuss about this, Ling Changqing would indeed be in a passive position, unless he could be promoted to the Yuanying Zhenjun realm as soon as possible, so that he could have a certain say.

If you are not strong yourself, it is useless to know anyone. Connections are divided into levels, and all circles are evenly matched. If you are not strong enough, don't even think about squeezing in.

Yu Yalan shook her long black and shiny hair, sat up straight on him, and said with a smile:
"Since my husband is going out again, why not come a few more times!"

Ling Changqing: “…”

Then, all the ladies gathered around, and the scene that followed was unknown to outsiders.

……

More than half a year later, Ling Changqing finally went out again. The other side of the Wujian Gate allowed him to instantly appear in the Zhao family's territory in the heart of Yuzhou.

At this time, Shangguan Qingying and her sister Zhao Wanyi were already waiting impatiently.

"...You guys, are you willing to come?!"

After they met, sister Zhao Wanqing naturally couldn't help but complain. Her beautiful face and clear big eyes glared at him angrily.

They were agreed to come once every two months, or at most three months, but it took so long. No wonder they feel resentful.

"I can't blame him. Maybe something unexpected happened?"

Shangguan Qingying, who still had the bronze mask on her face, spoke gently.

"I can't help it. Something happened at home, so I was delayed."

Ling Changqing said with a hint of apology.

During this period, he and sister Zhao Wanyi had been communicating with each other through the communication jade talisman, so although the sisters were a little unhappy, they were not too worried.

"So this time, Junior Brother Ling, how long do you plan to stay?"

Zhao Wanyi asked, they have changed their name now, and Ling Changqing also acquiesced to this.

"Two months? Then go back for three months and come back again. What do you think?"

Ling Changqing asked tentatively.

The main thing is that Qin Mengxuan will be back soon, so he has to stay at home and wait for her and can't wander around outside all the time.

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Zhao Wanyi's anger turned into joy. She and her sister took his hand and followed Shangguan Qingying into the inner study.

Although there has not been much movement from the Qin family in the past six months, the two sisters only feel at ease when Ling Changqing is around.

This sense of security seemed unreasonable, but Zhao Wanyi didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Ling Changqing took out all the resources he brought this time and handed them to the two sisters for counting. Then he counted and received the cultivation resources they had raised, marking the successful completion of this transaction.

The next step was to go to the Alchemy Palace to help them refine pills. During this time, Zhao Wanyi also mentioned the family's plan to select new people and give them key training.

"Junior Brother Ling, can you go and help out when the time comes?"

Zhao Wanyi said.

"This is your family's internal affair. Is it inappropriate for me to get involved?"

Ling Changqing said that he vaguely guessed Zhao Wanyi's intention.

"It's okay. If it weren't for the resources you provided and your help in refining the elixir, the family wouldn't have the financial resources to carry out this plan now!"

Shangguan Qingying smiled slightly. She really wanted to see if this guy could bring her more surprises.

If he...some things can actually be considered, right?
Ling Changqing paused for a moment and asked thoughtfully, "The Qin family is also carrying out a similar plan, right?"

"Well, that's right."

Zhao Wanyi did not hide it: "And they have already begun to send people to spy on the root cause of the changes within the family and try to sabotage it, but we will not let them succeed."

Now Ling Changqing is the key figure for the Zhao family to overcome difficulties and turn defeat into victory, so they naturally dare not take it lightly.

Ling Changqing nodded and opened the formation restriction with ease. The blazing spiritual flame began to burn fiercely, and the temperature in the Alchemy Hall rose rapidly.

"If the resources are sufficient, how many Jindan cultivators can the family produce now?"

He asked softly.

Shangguan Qingying made a rough estimate and said, "If there is enough supply of resources, there will be about 15 more Jindan cultivators within a year, and about 40 Zhendan cultivators, right?

As for the fake pill cultivators, there may be more than a hundred of them, and in addition, a group of cultivators at the peak and late stages of foundation building can be added.”

For a senior Nascent Soul force, this is already a combat force that cannot be ignored. It is the bargaining chip that can determine the rise and fall and survival at a critical moment.

"Can this level of combat power increase compete with the current Qin family?"

Ling Changqing asked again.

Shangguan Qingying shook her head: "It can ensure that the Zhao family can keep their existing interests and make the Qin family return empty-handed, but it is still not enough to launch a counterattack."
