Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 255 Weird War

No matter in which time and space or which era, war is the most likely to stir up the situation and reshape the geopolitical power structure.

The war between the Mu family, the Cui family and the Shengyu Immortal Dynasty soon had various impacts that spread to all aspects of the Yuzhou immortal cultivation world.

The first thing, of course, is that the prices of various resources have skyrocketed. All forces, including the three major super chambers of commerce, have begun to take measures to stockpile goods and limit the amount of resources sold in their own markets.

Especially for those types of resources directly related to the war, their prices have more than doubled in a few months, and it is not easy to purchase them in large quantities.

Then, in the territories of these three super powers, many independent cultivators fled with their families to avoid being forcibly conscripted, captured, and sent to the battlefield to be cannon fodder in the future.

In the past history, such things have happened more than once or twice. Once the casualties of the warring parties reach a certain level, they will try every means to force the independent cultivators in their own territory to join the war.

Therefore, whenever a war breaks out somewhere, the first to flee are the numerous independent cultivators, followed by the large and small chambers of commerce and business organizations.

The top leaders of the Zhao family held a closed-door meeting, and then Shangguan Qingying ordered the family to increase the level of alert and stockpile various resources in preparation for contingencies. On the surface, everything remained the same and everyone continued to do what they had to do.

She now only hopes that this strange war can end as soon as possible and not affect the small and medium-sized forces in the surrounding areas.

However, if that day really comes and the family is unable to resist, Shangguan Qingying plans to take Zhao Wanyi and her sisters away and follow Ling Changqing to Feiyu Sea for temporary refuge.

In order to calm the three girls, Ling Changqing stayed in the Zhao family for a while longer so that he could intervene in time if anything unexpected happened.

Shangguan Qingying and the other two girls were naturally happy to hear this. While accompanying Ling Changqing, they also spent a considerable amount of money to purchase internal intelligence information from the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce and closely followed the progress of the war.

In the inner room of the boudoir.

The brocade curtains were hanging low, and on the large jade-embroidered bed, Ling Changqing was sleeping after a fierce battle.

Under the brocade quilt, three snow-white, dazzling, plump and smooth bodies hugged him tightly.

Ling Changqing's mind had now sunk deep into his sea of ​​consciousness, silently communicating with Gong Ling.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, a message with a mysterious rhyme emerged silently:

After obtaining the virginity of Shangguan Qingying and Zhao Wanyi sisters, Ling Changqing's cultivation has been further improved, and he can break through to the peak of the Golden Core level at any time.

The upper limit of life span has increased by more than a hundred years, which is not too obvious, but it is already much higher than that of an ordinary Yuanying Zhenjun.

The ways of alchemy, talismans, formations, and the art of divination have now all approached the third-grade upper-grade state of perfection, partly due to the continuous sacrifice of one's lifespan.

Over the past few years, the number and quality of the second- and third-level demon beast inner cores that Ling Changqing obtained through various means have been increasing. It is not difficult to exchange for longevity through sacrifice.

If you live long enough, you will be able to do many more things.

Therefore, not only the arts such as alchemy, talismans, weapons and formations, but even the several major techniques can be quickly improved by sacrificing one's lifespan.

The fourth level of Taixuan Cangming Roushui Jue has reached perfection, and there is no further progress to be made at present. One must reach the Yuanying Zhenjun realm before continuing to practice the fifth level.

There has been significant progress in the Taiyin Yuehua Refining Spirit Heart Sutra, Langhuan Tianyuan Secret Canon, The True Explanation of the Sword Dao, and the Longxiang Fanluo Sutra.

The newly cultivated Five Elements Return to Origin Secret Code, Kunling Sword Code, and Xinghe Yaochi Scripture have all been mastered. These three higher-level skills have greatly improved Ling Changqing's actual combat capabilities.

After being tested by Palace Spirit, Ling Changqing's total mana is now twenty-five times that of a cultivator of the same level. As for the purity and concentration of his mana, it is already about twenty times.

His spiritual root aptitude and endowment were also increasing slowly, but he was still a long way from the middle level of heavenly quality, so he would not be promoted for the time being. Ling Changqing was not in a hurry.

As for the continued increase in luck and fortune, Ling Changqing has already gotten used to it, and his fellow Taoists around him have also improved significantly.

"I still feel like I can't contend with a true Yuanying Zhenjun..."

Ling Changqing thought with a little regret.

“Master, ordinary Yuanying Zhenjun can be dealt with, but those geniuses from top forces are still not so good at it at the moment.”

Gong Ling explained.

The martial arts inheritance that Ling Changqing has now obtained can be classified as top-notch. He has no shortcomings in resources and is also not short of actual combat experience, so his combat power is indeed outstanding.

"Is that so? That's not bad!"

Ling Changqing nodded and stopped worrying about it.

If you want to become stronger, after you advance to the Nascent Soul True Lord stage in the future, the current problems will naturally be solved.

After a long time, Shangguan Qingying, who was sleeping beside him, slowly opened her beautiful eyes, tilted her head to gaze at the beautiful boy in her arms, her eyes filled with deep tenderness and affection.

This guy is really... It's fine if he just lets her sleep with him, but he always likes to drag Zhao Wanyi and her sister along, making them sleep together side by side... It's getting more and more ridiculous!
This stunning beauty muttered secretly in her heart. Even though she protested, Ling Changqing still let herself and the two sisters serve him together. He tried all kinds of tricks on them. He was simply shameless to the extreme.

However, the benefits of dual cultivation are real. Compared with those cultivators of the same level who follow the steps and work hard to improve their cultivation, Shangguan Qingying feels that she is indeed very lucky.

Perhaps in the future, even the Spirit Transformation Realm will no longer be his end point, but he will have to go one step further and become a powerful giant known throughout the entire Qingyao Continent?

Shangguan Qingying leaned down and kissed Ling Changqing gently on the forehead, letting out a satisfied sigh from her lustrous lips. Ling Changqing opened his eyes just in time to meet the beauty's eyes.

"Husband..."

Shangguan Qingying's beautiful face blushed, she shrank back, and her delicate hand naturally moved over to block his eyes.

Obviously, she was shy.

Ling Changqing smiled, lowered his eyes and looked away, bent over and began to eat the snow seeds in big mouthfuls.

Shangguan Qingying bit her red lips lightly, stretched out her broad and majestic mind, and silently cooperated with his actions.

"...By the way, I plan to go to the battle area tomorrow to check out the situation!"

Ling Changqing turned over, hugged Shangguan Qingying's snow-white and delicate body and said.

The enchanting beauty who was holding the snow in her hands and feeding him was slightly startled, her dark eyebrows slightly frowned, and she said unhappily:
"Why are you going to the battlefield? What if you get targeted by those murderous guys? It's better not to go!"

"That's right, my husband, this is too risky. We can't rest assured!"

Under the brocade quilt, Zhao Wanyi, who was massaging his legs with her head lowered, spoke in a moment of leisure.

Zhao Wanqing said, "My husband, those three forces all have powerful spirits. If we encounter them head-on, even with your extraordinary luck, it will be difficult for you to escape unscathed, right?"

Once the war escalates, those powerful gods who are usually elusive will definitely take action, and the huge damage that may be caused is self-evident.

Ling Changqing smiled and said, "I dare to do this because I am sure of it. They can't even count on my existence. You don't need to worry."

Even those great masters at the level of Incarnation and Refining Void who were well versed in the art of divination and numerology were unable to calculate Ling Changqing's whereabouts. This was told by Gong Ling herself.

Shangguan Qingying still looked a little hesitant, and whispered: "Let the two girls go with you? And take those fourth-level teleportation talismans with you, and leave immediately if you find anything wrong."

She also wanted to follow Ling Changqing out, but the family headquarters still needed a strong person to take charge, so she had to give up the idea.

"so be it!"

Ling Changqing did not refuse. After all, Shangguan Qingying would never feel at ease without the two sisters accompanying her.

Reaching out and embracing Shangguan Qingying's plump and smooth body, Ling Changqing probed her body with his divine sense and said with satisfaction:

"The peak of the Nascent Soul realm is a natural progression. Next, we should prepare to impact the Spiritual Transformation realm, right? But the resources are hard to prepare, so I guess you'll have to wait a little longer."

I remember that when we first met, Shangguan Qingying had just broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, and was not very stable.

However, after she and Ling Changqing practiced dual cultivation, her luck, fortune, and cultivation had all increased significantly, and she was within reach of reaching the Spiritual Transformation realm.

Shangguan Qingying smiled shyly: "Don't worry about this, let's wait until this war is over! It would be a big loss to buy resources at the God Transformation level now, and you can't buy them just because you want to."

The powerful beings at the level of God Transformation can already affect the changes in the power comparison between the major forces. Every increase in one is of great significance, so the resources at this level are basically in a state of being priced out of market and hard to come by.

Even in top forces like the Liuying Family and Luhua Palace, it is quite troublesome to obtain a complete set of resources for the transformation of the spirit, let alone outsiders.

If Shangguan Qingying still had the identity of a daughter of the royal family of the Shengyu Immortal Dynasty, perhaps things would be easier to handle. In this situation, it would be more reliable to go out and encounter immortal fate.

Of course Ling Changqing didn’t think it was a big deal. As long as he was given enough time, it wouldn’t be difficult to solve the problem.

As the Ling family becomes more powerful, Ling Changqing becomes more confident.

After a while of tenderness, Ling Changqing let go of the beauty in his arms, stood up, cleaned his body, and began to put on his clothes.

The next morning, Ling Changqing set off with the two sisters.

Shangguan Qingying gave him her own exclusive vehicle, a flying boat of top-grade magic weapon grade, to use for rapid maneuvering in the battlefield area.

Halfway through the journey, Ling Changqing suddenly received an ultra-long-distance communication request from Qin Mengxuan.

"Ma'am...when will you come over next time?"

Ling Changqing activated the communication jade talisman and spoke with some surprise.

Over the years, Qin Mengxuan came to see him no more than five times, and each time she came and left in a hurry.

The reason was simple: Liuying Ziying kept a close eye on her, making it difficult for Qin Mengxuan to find an opportunity to go out alone.

But no matter how her best friend threatened or tempted her, Qin Mengxuan refused to reveal a single word for Ling Changqing's safety.

So Liuying Ziying could only choose to keep a close eye on Qin Mengxuan, coaxing her endlessly, hoping to sleep with her and make her change her mind.

"…I don't think it will be possible for a while!"

Qin Mengxuan's soft and graceful voice sounded from the jade talisman:

"The war in Yuzhou is a bit strange. If there is no major problem with the sect's intelligence channel, the Mu family and the Cui family... may have been controlled by some mysterious external forces!"

"Is this happening?"

Ling Changqing's expression changed slightly: "So they attacked the Shengyu Immortal Dynasty just to disrupt the overall situation of Yuzhou's immortal cultivation world?"

Xue Qingtan mentioned to him that year that the previous head of the Mu family had caused a shocking farce. A large number of his children were all other people's blood, and none of them was his own.

I don’t know what kind of terrifying mysterious force can conceal the truth and manipulate the helmsman of a top force in this way.

Now it seems that this pool of water is indeed deeper than imagined. I don't know to what extent the Mu family has been infiltrated by foreign forces.

I think the situation at the Cui family is similar.

"You can put it that way!"

Qin Mengxuan sighed: "Since we haven't been able to get more intelligence information yet, some things cannot be completely confirmed.

But I think they are here to destroy the Yuzhou Immortal Cultivation World. In addition to wanting the entire Yuzhou, another important target is you!"

"is it?"

Ling Changqing pondered. Although there was no evidence, his intuition told him that Qin Mengxuan's guess was correct.

Then it is not difficult to guess the instigator of this war. Most likely, it was conspired and promoted by some top forces in the neighboring Yuzhou, Yaozhou, and Xiazhou.

"Yuzhou should have a way to deal with it, right?"

Ling Changqing asked.

"Well, of course! We are not lambs to be slaughtered, we must fight back!"

Qin Mengxuan said bitterly: "Husband, don't worry, just protect yourself, this storm... should be over in no time."

"Okay, you have to protect yourself too."

Ling Changqing felt a little relieved. Since the top leaders of Luhua Palace had already become alert, the other seven great families and those hidden sects should have reacted by now.

Then, what will happen next is the open and covert fighting between the two sides. The Yuzhou immortal cultivation world has the home advantage, and the number of top powers is not inferior to that of the other side, so it seems that they will not suffer a loss.
