Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 246 Shangguan Qingying: Shameless Thief

As Ling Qiyue successfully overcame the tribulation, the many gazes outside the cave temple also quietly disappeared.

In the territory of Feiyun Sect, it is not a rare thing for a Jindan Zhenren to overcome the tribulation and become a Yuanying Zhenjun, so it is naturally not worthy of excessive attention.

Therefore, after the three-month period was up, Ling Qiyue, whose realm was stable, left Feiyun Sect with Ling Changqing, and quietly returned to Changqing Island with the help of the power of the Bi'an Wujian Sect.

The family headquarters is in the boudoir’s embroidery building.

"... Senior Sister, is it finally done?"

Seeing Ling Qiyue again, who was so graceful, beautiful, and had a completely different demeanor and aura, Tang Qiuyao was surprised and delighted. She hugged her and looked her up and down.

"Well, most of it is thanks to my husband, otherwise it wouldn't be so smooth!"

Being the focus of all the girls' attention, Ling Qiyue's face turned red and she spoke a little embarrassedly.

"During the time we were away from home, nothing happened in the surrounding waters, right?"

Ling Changqing asked gently.

"It's okay, the surrounding forces are all behaving themselves!"

Tang Qiuyao said with a smile that she was in charge of looking after the house and taking over the position of head of the family during this period.

"From now on, the Ling family will be the potential master of this sea area, and unification of the surrounding areas is just around the corner."

Ling Qiyue sighed slightly.

Looking back decades ago, the Ling family was just an unknown foundation-building family in the Feiyu Sea, with scarce resources and scarce talents, but now it has transformed from a cocoon into a butterfly.

From a foundation-building family to a golden elixir family, they annexed several old enemies until they wiped out all hostile forces and controlled the entire Feiyu Sea. Now they have gone one step further and become a genuine Yuanying family!
From today onwards, the history of the Ling family will turn a new page and enter a new era.

Ling Qiyue is the first, but will definitely not be the last Yuanying Zhenjun of the Ling family.

Next, Ling Changqing and the girls in the harem will gradually step into the realm of Yuanying Zhenjun, making the overall strength of the family stronger and stronger. Tang Qiuyao firmly believes in this.

"Well, now that the head of the family's sister has achieved the status of Yuanying Zhenjun, should the family invite guests and hold a grand celebration?"

Qin Yun asked softly.

This is actually a common practice in the world of cultivating immortals. The birth of a Yuanying Zhenjun is not a trivial matter no matter where it happens, let alone a place like Feiyu Sea where there has never been a Yuanying Zhenjun?

Ling Qiyue shook her head: "Not for now, we can just celebrate behind closed doors."

Although this important news cannot be concealed and will sooner or later be known to many forces outside, it is always better to delay it for a while.

In Ling Qiyue's opinion, it would be best to wait until Ling Changqing also reaches the Nascent Soul True Lord realm before publicly announcing that the Ling family has become a Nascent Soul force. Then, there will be no need to worry about interference from certain Nascent Soul forces from the outside world.

As for those forces at the level of God Transformation, they simply look down on this place, so there is no need to consider it.

"Alright, that's settled then!"

Tang Qiuyao and the other girls no longer insisted on this matter.

That night, Ling Changqing and the girls drank to their heart's content. After eating and drinking, they practiced dual cultivation together and had a great time.

Ling Qiyue, who got what she wanted, tried her best to please Ling Changqing and played the role of a dual cultivation partner perfectly. She even allowed Ling Changqing to try some embarrassing postures on her that she couldn't do before.

A few days later, Ling Qiyue began to preside over the comprehensive expansion and upgrading project of the family headquarters, especially the erection and debugging of the fourth-level protective formation.

In addition, the market town of Changqingzhou also needs to be expanded, the protective formations and prohibitions need to be upgraded, and some important mines, ports, medicine mountains, spiritual fields, etc. all need to strengthen their defenses.

After completing these projects, even if the family headquarters faces the siege of multiple Yuanying Zhenjun, it can resist for a long enough time.

Then, Ling Changqing continued to work in the sea and collect rare resources from the seabed.

The main reason was that the last purchase cost too much, and the family's surplus funds were used up in one go, and even Ling Changqing's private money was almost gone, so it had to be earned back as soon as possible.

Since Ling Qiyue is already a Yuanying Zhenjun, and he himself has reached the late Jindan stage, the safety factor of their actions on the seabed has greatly increased. Even in waters more than two thousand feet deep, they can come and go freely.

The dark and cold seabed.

Beside a rugged sea cave, Ling Changqing was picking some kind of Yunmu mushroom that was khaki in color and shaped like stone lumps.

An adult of this thing is only the size of a fist, but it is extremely heavy, weighing hundreds of pounds.

Moreover, it is a quasi-fourth-level spiritual medicine resource. Certain elixirs with it as the main ingredient can strengthen the body, significantly improve the cultivator's physical strength and vitality, as well as the ability to recover after injuries. It is one of the indispensable resources for cultivators of the physical cultivation school.

However, this thing has always only grown in deep sea areas, and can only be found on the seabed with a water depth of more than 2,500 feet. You can imagine how precious it is.

At this depth, all kinds of ferocious third-order and quasi-fourth-order marine creatures are already very common. Some of these species are so difficult to deal with that even Yuanying Zhenjun is unwilling to provoke them easily.

"…Husband, perhaps we can go a little deeper?"

Ling Qiyue beside him whispered to him.

With enough strength, one will naturally be more confident. With Ling Changqing's supreme luck and fortune, the deeper the seabed, the easier it is to find good things.

It is said that in the deepest part of the sea, there are some natural treasures that have become extinct outside. They are treasures that are enough to allow cultivators to change their fate and soar to the sky.

Of course, such a place must be guarded by demon kings and giants. It is extremely dangerous. Even big figures like Qin Mengxuan and Liuying Ziying dare not set foot there easily.

Ling Changqing didn't need to consider going to such a dangerous place to look for opportunities in the short term.

"No problem, let's go down and take a look together!"

Ling Changqing smiled and said that he also wanted to test his limits.

So, the couple held hands and continued to dive, crossing several dark underwater mountains, avoiding the gathering places of some powerful and ferocious creatures, and going deeper.

About an hour later, Ling Changqing successfully descended to the bottom of the sea 3,500 feet deep. He was already approaching his limit, and the several mid-to-high-quality defensive magic weapons on Ling Qiyue's body were a little overwhelmed.

"Okay, here it is!"

Ling Qiyue transmitted the message through her telepathy that with her level of cultivation she could still continue to dive, but the conditions did not allow it.

No matter what, Ling Changqing's safety must not be compromised, and her main task is to protect this little man.

"Ok."

Ling Changqing agreed, concentrated his mind on sensing the surrounding environment, and quietly activated the secret method of deducing the secrets of heaven.

The two were now on an underwater plain. Vine-like seaweed about ten feet high and emitting a faint red light was slowly waving, spreading from under their feet to the end of their vision.

This seaweed is called Abyss Mandragora. It contains a strange poison and can be used to make medicines and refine poison pills for some not-so-serious uses. It is a favorite of many evil monks.

Ling Qiyue glanced at it and frowned slightly. She could vaguely sense that there were a large number of fierce auras lurking in the depths of the seaweed, and they must be existences that were not easy to provoke.

This is the key reason why high-level human cultivators are not very willing to go to the deep sea area to seek opportunities. It is too dangerous and unpredictable.

Yuanying Zhenjun would naturally not take it seriously if he faced one or several native deep-sea monsters alone. But if a large group of fearless guys came and besieged him like crazy, Yuanying Zhenjun would also have a headache.

Therefore, the deep-sea environment is too unfriendly to human cultivators, while high-level dragon cultivators thrive there and are truly the dominant beings in the vast seabed.

"Let's go over there."

Ling Changqing calculated for a while and finally chose the direction.

Ling Qiyue naturally would not object. The two of them hovered dozens of feet above the seabed and swam lightly towards the northwest.

……

Deep Sea Dragon Palace.

Without any warning, Queen Bai Qingyi announced a death sentence for a hundred years.

Moreover, all the senior leaders, including the Dragon Clan leader Luo Du, only learned the news afterwards.

When Luo Du and a group of dragon elders arrived, they saw that the bedroom was completely sealed off under the rosy glow and protected by numerous formations and prohibitions.

The bedroom itself is an ancient magical treasure. After it is closed, no one else can enter unless the owner opens it from the inside.

If they attack by force, it will not only be extremely troublesome, but will also damage the reputation of the Dragon Clan's top leaders.

No matter what, Bai Qingyi is the mistress of the dragon clan. It would be difficult to explain to the whole clan and the outside world if we use tough measures to force her without any reason.

"…The queen is really going too far. She must have known the whereabouts of her daughter, but she refused to tell us, so she used this method to avoid our persuasion."

Grand Elder Luo Qi said coldly.

As a hidden chess piece of the Tianwai Tian Golden Dragon Clan, she wants to know Ling Changqing's whereabouts more than anyone else.

The top leaders have confirmed that Dragon Girl Luo Qingxuan ran away from home to find the son of destiny Ling Changqing, and Queen Bai Qingyi is the only one who knows her whereabouts.

Finding Luo Qingxuan means finding Ling Changqing.

Therefore, some time ago, the high-ranking officials of the Dragon Clan were persuading, or forcing Bai Qingyi to compromise for the sake of the overall situation. As for how many of these high-ranking officials were spies of other major forces, it was unknown.

So Bai Qingyi had no intention of giving in, and directly expressed his attitude in this way, without even leaving room for negotiation.

"Clan leader, I suggest that all the great elders work together to refine and open this palace. We can't let the queen be so willful!"

Luo Qi said through gritting teeth.

Unsurprisingly, this simple and crude proposal attracted the attention of many elders.

Grand Elder Luo Cangli spoke slowly: "Ling Changqing's whereabouts are of great importance. The Queen's move... may not be a bad thing!"

The clan leader Luo Du pondered for a few breaths, nodded slightly and said: "What the elder said is very reasonable. Our Deep Sea Dragon Clan should not be pushed to the forefront and targeted by many major human forces."

"Chief, what do you mean? Are we going to let the queen do what she wants and ignore the interests of the dragon clan..."

Luo Qi asked unhappily.

Luo Du glanced at the beautiful woman meaningfully and said softly:
"I am 70% to 80% sure that the queen is not in the palace at all. She should be out looking for Qingxuan now, right?"

"..."

Now it wasn't just Luo Qi, almost all the dragon elders changed their expressions.

"Then what should we do now? All the clues are gone. How can we track down Ling Changqing's whereabouts?"

Luo Qi said with an unpleasant look.

Luo Cangli smiled and said, "Whether we pursue him or not is actually not that important. Ling Changqing has a woman from our dragon clan by his side. This is already the most ideal result."

"Yes, Elder Cangli is right!"

The elders thought about it for a moment and immediately understood.

These old guys are all smart people. As long as Bai Qingyi and Luo Qingxuan, mother and daughter, are by Ling Changqing's side, the deep-sea dragon clan will have a chance of survival in the future when the heaven and earth are in great trouble.

Luo Qi's expression was uncertain, and it was obvious that she understood this truth, but this was not good news for the Golden Dragon Clan of Tianwai Tian.

……

At this moment, in a market somewhere in the coastal area of ​​Yuzhou.

In a restaurant on the street, a stunning woman with long black hair, skin as white as snow and a purple dress occupied the best private room and was feasting on a table full of delicacies from land and sea.

A group of maids with bright eyes and white teeth stood quietly by the wall, serving respectfully.

"...Mm, it's delicious! Please serve me another table and bring out all your signature dishes!"

Bai Qingyi grabbed the bronze wine jar that was glowing faintly and gave instructions with great interest.

It's a rare opportunity to go out, so of course you have to enjoy yourself to the fullest.

"Yes!"

The head maid agreed and called the other ladies to come over to remove the empty plates and wine glasses and then replace them with new ones.

Bai Qingyi continued to eat and drink heartily. The dragon girl's appetite was so horrible that it was beyond the imagination of human cultivators.

"...Unfortunately, I haven't been able to contact Qingxuan for the time being. I don't know what her current situation is."

While dealing with the delicious food in front of him, Bai Qingyi muttered to himself.

Of course, she had Luo Qingxuan's contact information on hand. This was what they had agreed upon before they left, just to be prepared.

But Ling Changqing seems to have some unknown ability that can block the secrets of heaven and isolate all means of ultra-long-distance communication?

The advantage of doing this is that it can maintain confidentiality to the greatest extent possible. The disadvantage is that Bai Qingyi now has no idea where Luo Qingxuan is.

However, there is no need to rush. Luo Qingxuan knows that she will choose the right time to leave Dragon Palace, so she will take the initiative to contact her when the time is right...

Bai Qingyi pondered in her heart.

……

After more than ten days and nights, Ling Changqing once again returned from the bottom of the sea with a full load.

Because the harvest brought back this time was so great, in addition to keeping enough for the family's own use, the three major chamber of commerce branches all gained a large amount of resources.

Finally, there was a batch of resources worth thousands of high-quality spirit stones. Ling Changqing decided to take them to the Zhao family's territory, where they might be able to be sold at a more ideal price.

After arranging matters at home, Ling Changqing left quietly, and the other side of the Wujian Gate instantly teleported him to the Zhao family's territory.

In the boudoir embroidery building, Shangguan Qingying was bathing comfortably in the hot spring pool, with her gorgeous skirt, bellyband and underskirt scattered beside her.

At this time, she had taken off the bronze mask, revealing her flawless beauty that could captivate everyone.

Especially that plump, enchanting, smooth and tender body, the ups and downs of the curves outline a blood-boiling scenery, the whole body is beautiful and there is no flaw to be found.

In the warm spiritual spring water, the beauty's eyes are slightly closed, her cloud-like hair is simply tied up, a pair of jade hands are placed flat on her lower abdomen, her smooth back is leaning against the jade pool wall, her manner is dignified and elegant, and she is closing her eyes to rest.

Suddenly, the jade communication talisman on her fair wrist vibrated slightly, causing her to open her soul-stirring beautiful eyes.

She raised her wrist in surprise and looked at it, a look of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes:
"This damn guy has been gone for so long, and now he finally feels like coming back?"

She hurriedly stood up from the bathing pool, her breathtaking body in full view, her proud snow-capped peaks towering, her round and slender long legs stirring the spring water, and she reached the shore in a few steps.

A moment later, the neatly dressed beauty walked into the inner study and saw the handsome young man in black with red lips, white teeth and cold eyes sitting and sipping tea.

"coming?"

Ling Changqing raised his eyes and saw the beautiful woman, dressed in gorgeous brocade palace gown with flower and cloud patterns, walking in with graceful manners, still wearing the exquisite bronze mask on her face.

Shangguan Qingying nodded modestly, and her soft and charming voice rang out: "Have you dealt with all the family affairs? How long do you plan to stay this time?"

Ling Changqing smiled and said, "Two or three months is no problem. Of course, if the Patriarch needs it, it can be longer!"

"How to say?"

Shangguan Qingying paused. Of course she hoped that Ling Changqing could stay, but she couldn't say it easily.

Ling Changqing blinked his eyes and laughed softly, "If the Patriarch can let me see your true face, I will agree to this matter. How about it?"

Shangguan Qingying: “…”

This shameless little thief actually flirted with me? How dare he?

No wonder he was always rude to Zhao Wanyi and her sister. It turned out that he was thinking about me?
"Ling Changxing, don't go too far!"

Shangguan Qingying's gentle voice turned cold.

Ling Changqing spread his hands, looking innocent: "I'm just curious about the appearance of the patriarch, and I want to take a look, there is absolutely no other intention!"

Haha, I don't believe you...

Shangguan Qingying snorted coldly, "You'd better not look at me. I was seriously injured in my early years and my face was disfigured. I am an ugly freak that everyone hates!"

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Ling Changqing shook his head, his feeling must be correct. Under the bronze mask was definitely a fairy-like face that was no less beautiful than Ling Qiyue and Qin Mengxuan.

"Do you really want to see it? Aren't you afraid of being scared?"

Shangguan Qingying asked.

"I'm not afraid. If I were really scared, wouldn't I run away?"

Ling Changqing chose to "tell the truth".

Shangguan Qingying sneered: "You've seen it all, do you still want to run away? I will imprison you and lock you up in a secret room and abuse you every day!"

Wait, something seems wrong?
Oh my god! How could she say such a thing? It looked like a threat, but it was actually just flirting!

It’s just...

Shangguan Qingying gritted her teeth secretly. She really couldn't understand why she had lost her composure in front of a junior.

Obviously, this guy was the candidate for son-in-law that he had chosen, but now... things seem to be getting out of control?
"Okay, I've decided. I'll watch it after all!"

Ling Changqing took a deep breath, looking as if he was determined to give it a try.

"Okay, don't regret it!"

Shangguan Qingying sneered and reached out her jade hand to the bronze mask covering her face.
