Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 262: The Great Xia Goddess Queen: There is something wrong with you

Liuying Ziying stayed in Lilongzhou for a whole month until a trusted elder in the family sent a message asking her to go back to take charge of the situation. She then reluctantly left.

Naturally, this month was spent in constant practice with Ling Changqing, without wasting a single moment. It can be said that this stunningly beautiful woman lived a very "fulfilling" life.

But the girls couldn't let her monopolize Ling Changqing alone, so later, Qin Mengxuan, Yu Ruoshuang, Ling Qiyue, Zhao Wanyi and other girls also joined in to practice together.

Therefore, Ling Changqing had not stepped out of her boudoir for the past month. While she was enjoying herself to the utmost, she was also squeezed to the point of exhaustion.

Fortunately, Liuying Ziying and Qin Mengxuan had foreseen this situation, and had already prepared many fourth-level elixirs, spiritual wines and ingredients for restoring his vitality for him, ensuring that Ling Changqing would not be exhausted.

By the time the beautiful Liuying Ziying tidied up her dress and clothes and walked out of the boudoir with Ling Changqing, his steps felt a little light and he felt as if all the bones in his body had become several pounds lighter.

It is a bit tiring, but a marriage like his is what hundreds of millions of cultivators dream of throughout their lives, but cannot obtain, so there is no need to be pretentious.

"...Husband, you should practice well at home. I will find a chance to come and accompany you in a year... no, half a year!"

The contented Liuying Ziying spoke softly, her beautiful eyes full of charm that seemed to be dripping with water.

"Well, okay, okay."

Ling Changqing agreed weakly. If Qin Mengxuan and Liuying Ziying hadn't supported him on both sides, he would have walked unsteadily.

Fortunately, as the pills he had taken gradually took effect, streams of heat flowed from his abdomen into his internal organs and meridians, flowing through his limbs, allowing his body to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Epoch Star Palace in his sea of ​​consciousness shook slightly, and streams of spiritual essences carrying a mysterious and profound Taoist aura descended from the darkness and merged into the origin of his soul without any hindrance.

Thanks to this, after just dozens of breaths, this handsome young man in purple with a handsome face and bright eyes recovered to his lively state.

"...Huh? My husband is so fierce?"

Seeing this, Liuying Ziying, who was originally feeling a little guilty, suddenly became a little uneasy.

Earlier in the boudoir, Qin Mengxuan had pleaded for him, saying that he should not work too hard on her husband. After all, his current cultivation level was limited, so he should just stop.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all? He is indeed the legendary son of destiny.

Since this guy is so capable, why don't we let him do a good job from now on?
Qin Mengxuan rolled her eyes at her, turned around and said with a sweet smile:
"The situation in the heart of Yuzhou is a bit complicated right now. Many cultivators from other states have mixed in. My husband, please don't get involved easily. Just stay home and be at ease!
If you need any special resources, just tell us sisters, don't go to those chambers of commerce to buy them at random."

"Yes, I know."

Ling Changqing said that in order to prevent the three major super chambers of commerce from seeing their own secrets, they must pay more attention to this aspect in the future.

The Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce is better, since the branch here is headed by Xue Qingtan, so we can rest assured. But it’s hard to say about Huanzhen Pavilion and Juhaixuan.

Once the monks from the two families noticed that something was wrong, it would not be long before the information about the Ling family was sold through special channels.

After chatting for a while, Liuying Ziying and Qin Mengxuan boarded the flying boat hand in hand, rose into the sky, and soon disappeared at the end of the sky.

Ling Changqing returned to the inner study and found that Ling Qiyue, Tang Qiuyao and other girls were still working. Of course, they were much more relaxed than before and were no longer extremely busy.

Now all matters within the family are on track and there are no new wars. From now on, we just need to operate and develop the business step by step.

"Thank you ladies for your hard work!"

Ling Changqing walked over, hugged Ling Qiyue and kissed her, then sat down beside her.

Ling Qiyue snorted, threw over a few jade scrolls that were gleaming with spiritual light, and said:
"This is the current resource reserve of the family treasury, as well as the budget for future expenses and the new resource quota issuance standards. Husband, can you take a look at it too?"

"Ok."

Ling Changqing said this as he opened the jade slip and looked at it carefully.

The family had newly acquired an entire and prosperous sea area, with countless high-quality industries and trillions of mortal subjects, and its fiscal revenue had experienced an explosive growth.

Not to mention anything else, the total value of all kinds of wealth and resources in the remaining inventory of those forces alone exceeds 30,000 high-quality spirit stones.

This does not include the many manuals on martial arts and magical powers they left behind. Although Ling Changqing himself looked down on them, they were sorted out and stored in the Reward Hall. They are still quite suitable for training the middle and lower-level children of the family.

When they were in the Feiyu Sea, the annual income of the entire Ling family was only worth about 3,000 high-quality spirit stones, 60% of which were various physical resources.

Of course, this does not include the extra money Ling Changqing made himself. With his special means, the deep sea and the ocean are almost his backyard, and he can go there to plunder when he is short of money.

But now, the Ling family's annual income has been converted into more than 20,000 high-quality spirit stones.

This is not surprising. After all, the Chixue Sea has been managed by those forces for hundreds and thousands of years. Its prosperity far exceeds that of the Feiyu Sea. In addition, there are many quasi-fourth-level and fourth-level resources produced, so its foundation is much stronger than that of the Feiyu Sea.

With sufficient resources, one can give full rein to the business development, especially the mass training of the new generation of children in the family.

Therefore, the Ling family now has begun to possess the foundation that a senior Nascent Soul force should have, and its strength will inevitably usher in another round of rapid growth.

Ling Qiyue's budget for next year's expenditure is as high as 20,000 high-quality spirit stones, the bulk of which is used to upgrade Lilongzhou's formation defense system.

The former Lilong Sect, as well as several other Jindan forces with fourth-order spiritual veins in their territories, all tried every means to set up quasi-fourth-order, or even relatively crude fourth-order formations.

During the process of the Ling family flattening the Chixue Sea, these defensive formations did not play much of a role, because the number of fourth-level forbidden-breaking talismans in Ling Changqing's hands was calculated by the hundreds.

To this end, Ling Changqing emptied out all his private money and even borrowed money from the three major chambers of commerce to purchase it.

Under his relentless attacks, these formations could not hold out for long and collapsed, thus helping the Ling family to win in the end.

In order to prevent the same thing from happening to the Ling family in the future, the protective formation of the family headquarters must be fully upgraded.

Ling Changqing's goal is to obtain two sets of fourth-grade large-scale protective formations and a set of quasi-fifth-grade formations. Only by cooperating with each other can the safety of the family headquarters be guaranteed.

In addition, other islands with fourth-level spiritual vein caves should be handled in the same way.

Obviously, this expense is quite exaggerated, but with the Ling family's current financial situation, they can afford it, so Ling Qiyue decided to do it in one go.

In response to this, Xue Qingtan has already responded on behalf of the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce, saying that they can sell a set of quasi-fifth-level protective formation, and will arrange for a team of formation masters to bring materials to start construction soon.

For the remaining two sets of fourth-grade superior formations, Huanzhen Pavilion and Juhaixuan agreed to sell one each and would be responsible for all matters related to their installation and debugging.

This kind of strategic material is usually not easy to buy with spirit stones. In most cases, it is exchanged for fourth-level resources of equal value through barter.

Since Ling Qiyue has not yet been promoted to a fourth-level alchemist, she cannot refine real fourth-level elixirs and can only purchase them from outside for the time being. The same goes for fourth-level talismans and Taoist puppets.

In addition, mass training of new family members is another major expense in the annual budget.

For the future rise of the Ling family, it is impossible to save on investment in this area, and it has to increase year by year.

The scale of the newly selected fairy seedlings this year is roughly set at around 3,000 people. If the situation is ideal, the number can be increased as appropriate.

Ling Changqing has always been in charge of this aspect. He determines the development potential of the immortal seedlings based on their spiritual root qualifications and luck and fortune, and then decides whether to select them. For any force in the immortal cultivation world, the task of replenishing new blood is the top priority, and in many cases, it is personally checked by the strongest cultivator in the force.

After all, the consequences of choosing the wrong person are quite serious. If the selected fairy seedlings waste a lot of resources and the growth rate is not as expected, the loss will be too great.

Judging from the results of previous years, Ling Changqing's ability is still quite reliable, and he rarely makes mistakes in selecting the fairy seedlings.

Ling Qiyue knew that she couldn't do better than Ling Changqing, so she simply entrusted the matter entirely to him, and did so year after year.

Then there are the resource quotas for these selected immortal seedlings, which are usually distributed once a month, including spiritual stones, spiritual rice, spiritual beast meat, spiritual wine and the like, as well as the opportunity to select skills and magical powers, and listen to family elders explain the secrets of cultivation.

As the family's financial situation was good, Ling Qiyue decided to double the resource allocation quotas for all new fairy seedlings.

As for those immortal seeds that have already entered the door and have achieved a certain level of cultivation, their resource treatment has been improved step by step, from the Qi training stage to the foundation building and Dan formation stages.

The last and most important part is the resource quota standards for the women in the harem.

The scope covered is quite broad, ranging from tailor-made clothing and jewelry, various daily utensils and luxury goods, to spiritual stones, spiritual rice and fruits, various spiritual beasts and birds, spiritual wine and other high-end ingredients, elixirs, talismans, as well as allocated spiritual veins and caves.

As long as one becomes Ling Changqing's Taoist partner, the treatment will be more than twenty times higher than that of the direct descendants of ordinary families. It can be said that everything is covered from head to toe.

After being revised by Ling Qiyue, now any Taoist companion who has reached the Yuanying Zhenjun realm will receive one hundred high-quality spirit stones and physical resources of equal value every month.

Taoist companions who have reached the Golden Core True Person realm can receive 300 medium-grade spirit stones every month, as well as physical resources equivalent to this number.

If the Taoist companion is at the foundation-building level, he or she can get fifteen medium-grade spirit stones and physical resources of equal value every month.

Of course, the biggest benefit of this group is that they can come and serve Ling Changqing and practice dual cultivation with him.

As long as you obtain the spiritual inspiration and Taoist rhyme of the son of luck, you can continuously improve your own spiritual roots, aptitude and talents, and your luck and fortune will increase significantly.

This is a benefit that cannot be measured by spiritual stone resources. It is a benefit that is enough to completely change one's fate.

Even the gifted girls like Qin Mengxuan, Liuying Ziying, Yu Ruoshuang and Bai Qingyi could not refuse such a rare opportunity.

"Okay, this arrangement is fine. I have no objection."

Ling Changqing took a look and found that there was no problem. Ling Qiyue had already considered all the details and there was no need for him to add any more.

Accompanied by the pleasant sound of jingling jewelry, the graceful Meng Feiyu parted the bead curtain and walked in slowly.

She was wearing an intricate and exquisite bright red dress embroidered with a phoenix. The snow-capped mountains under her bright red bodice were majestic and majestic, outlining the bottomless snowy ravines. The ups and downs of her enchanting curves exuded a fatal charm.

"By the way, my lady, did the deputy headmaster say anything before he left?"

As soon as Ling Changqing saw her, he remembered that the deputy headmaster of Xianyin Pavilion was coming to inspect.

Meng Feiyu opened her cherry lips slightly and said with a smile: "The deputy headmaster has gone back a long time ago. Sister Yue talked to her alone for a long time. She probably still wants to see you!"

Ling Qiyue narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and said with a smile:

"Indeed, she is also a beautiful lady with natural beauty. If you are interested, why not let her in some other day?"

Ling Changqing looked at the two women and sighed helplessly: "Are you really that serious? I have never seen her and I don't even know her name. What relationship can I have with her?"

"It's just a joke, don't mind it, my husband!"

Meng Feiyu came over, hugged Ling Changqing and kissed him, then sat on his lap, with charming eyes:
"What do you plan to do next, my husband? Will you continue to practice with the sisters, or go out to travel?"

Like Xue Qingtan, after her cultivation level recovered to the Yuanying Zhenjun realm, she recovered a lot of her memories of her past life. Therefore, she really wanted Ling Changqing to accompany them on a trip to some immortal ruins to encounter immortal fate.

Ling Changqing pondered and said, "Why not go to the Shengyu Immortal Dynasty and take a look! You should wait until I become a Yuanying Zhenjun in the future before you can discuss your ideas."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, husband, but you have to take us with you this time."

Meng Feiyu didn't insist, as long as she could be with Ling Changqing.

So, after continuing to accompany the girls for half a month, Ling Changqing once again returned to the heart of Yuzhou.

The first stop was of course to return to the Zhao family territory. Shangguan Qingying was still in charge of the family headquarters, and she was naturally surprised to see him.

During this period of time, nothing major happened inside or outside the family, and the raging war had not yet spread here.

The Qin family's territory was also quiet. Having suffered heavy losses, they no longer had the ability to continue causing trouble and could only recuperate behind closed doors.

After accompanying Shangguan Qingying in cultivation for half a month, Ling Changqing continued to go out and head towards the territory of the Shengyu Immortal Dynasty.

The last time he came here to secretly pick up bargains, Ling Changqing brought back resources worth more than 10,000 high-quality spirit stones, as well as several good magic weapons.

Having tasted the sweetness, he naturally wanted to do the same thing this time and get some benefits back.

However, the territory of the Shengyu Xian Dynasty is too vast, and it is still difficult to find a place where a war has broken out and arrive at the scene in time.

Ling Changqing wandered around for a few days. Although he could obtain relatively accurate information with the help of the secret method of deducing the secrets of heaven, by the time he arrived, the war was often over and there was no profit to be made.

After several rounds of this, Ling Changqing, feeling somewhat depressed, decided to take it slow and travel for a few days first.

That day, he came to the southern part of the Immortal Dynasty and traveled to a prosperous city called Jinchen County.

There is no market town where cultivators usually gather, but many cultivators can be seen coming and going on the streets, and those at the Jindan level are not uncommon.

After strolling for a while on the busy street with pedestrians and cars, Ling Changqing found a high-end restaurant on the street and went in to taste the local delicacies.

In the Accord on the top floor.

"...give me one portion of all the signature dishes in your restaurant. Spiritual stones are not a problem."

Ling Changqing gave calm instructions to the plump and charming head maid.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, please wait a moment!"

The head maid said this with a smile on her face, and went out to make arrangements while twisting her waist.

In the elegant pavilion next door, a sexy and beautiful lady in a green Taoist robe seemed to sense something. She suddenly raised her delicate head and looked over here, her willow-shaped brows slightly furrowed.

She is the Goddess Queen of Daxia who has changed her appearance and is traveling around.

"...Hmm? This pretty little fellow seems to be a little bit strange."
