Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 268 Su Qinglian: Dual cultivation is an obligation and a responsibility
Yaozhou, the main peak of Shenluo Mountains.

This is the main gate of Shenluo Tiangong, one of the three great super powers in Yaozhou and a sect of female cultivators.

High in the sky, a bright red light rushed towards us at high speed from far away, and only slowed down instantly when it approached the main peak area.

It was an exquisite, magnificent octagonal pavilion, with its walls, columns, window frames and doors decorated with patterns of flowers and ladies. The entire pavilion was shrouded in a bright red glow, and its majestic pressure was implicit but not revealed.

After this rare treasure fell to the ground, the carved door slowly opened, and a beautiful woman in purple clothes with a cold aura and calm eyes walked out. Under the gorgeous dark purple skirt, the outline of her amazingly long legs was faintly visible.

Behind her, there were more than twenty beautiful female cultivators with different styles.

"Senior Sister Chen, the Supreme Master has instructed you to go see her immediately after you return."

A young girl in green stepped forward, saluted, and spoke softly.

This beautiful lady in purple is named Chen Chuyu, the first saint of Shenluo Palace and the eldest sister among the new generation of disciples.

Chen Chuyu nodded, her voice clear and pleasant: "Got it, I'll be there right away."

After saying this, she and the many female practitioners behind her controlled their escape beams and flew away into the air.

In the mysterious palace filled with spiritual energy and bright rays of light, the profound and vicissitudes of Taoism atmosphere permeates the space.

A woman with long black hair and dressed in a Taoist robe sat upright on a jade cushion. The curves of her extremely voluptuous figure could not be concealed. In her slender hands, she was playing with a diamond-shaped bronze mirror with psychedelic light and shadow, and a hint of thought appeared in her beautiful eyes.

“…Master, disciple is back!”

Chen Chuyu's respectful voice came from the door.

"come in."

The woman spoke calmly.

Chen Chuyu agreed, walked lightly to the head teacher, bowed, and then sat down on the cushion opposite.

"Those guys from the Great Xia Dynasty have been struggling for so long, what have they gained?"

The Supreme Master asked.

Chen Chuyu shook her head: "It is certain that they gained nothing. I heard that the Queen was very angry and unwilling to give up, but there was nothing she could do."

Obviously, Shenluo Palace was also aware of what the Great Xia Dynasty did in Yuzhou.

Clearly, Xia Qingying had already met the Son of Destiny, but because of a brief hesitation and affectation, she missed the chance to defy fate, causing all the high-ranking officials of the Divine Dynasty to regret it.

Afterwards, Xia Qingying ordered the mobilization of all the secret agents of the Great Xia Dynasty in Yuzhou to track down Ling Changqing's whereabouts at all costs, but nothing has been found so far.

"This shows that the destiny of this world is not in Yuzhou, nor in the Great Xia Dynasty. It is still unknown who will be the son of destiny in the future."

The Supreme Master smiled, and with bright eyes he looked up and down at his most valued disciple, and said gently:
"This mission that is of vital importance to the sect may still fall on you?"

Chen Chuyu was stunned for a moment, her face slightly red as she said:

"Master has given the order, and I will follow it. However, Ling Changqing may not think highly of it..."

"how could be?"

The Supreme Master said with a smile: "Our Shenluo Palace is famous in this world for its beautiful women. Since the son of destiny Ling Changqing likes beautiful women, he will definitely not miss it."

"...disciple is willing to sacrifice for the sect."

Chen Chuyu pursed her red lips and spoke softly.

This kind of thing cannot be solved no matter how anxious I am. Who knows when Ling Changqing will appear again?
Furthermore, even if she had the same luck as Xia Qingying and happened to meet Ling Changqing when he was traveling, it was hard to say whether he would be interested in her.

According to the intelligence collected by Shenluo Palace, there are more than one or two beauties around Ling Changqing, and they are all from the local forces in Yuzhou.

After all, Shenluo Tiangong belongs to Yaozhou. It is not as easy as imagined to poach people from Yuzhou. Those local forces will definitely do their best to stop it.

The Supreme Master pondered for a moment and said, "I have some friendship with the Grand Palace Master of Luhua Palace. We have had some cooperation in the past. Maybe we can discuss this matter with them?"

Chen Chuyu frowned slightly and shook her head, saying, "They must have ideas about Ling Changqing as well. If they really found him, they would definitely hide him secretly and use him. Why would they let him go to us?"

Don't mention reasons like the gap in strength. Luhua Palace is indeed not as good as Shenluo Palace, but if they really get the favor of the Son of Destiny, I'm afraid that within a few years, the strength of the sect will see a rapid increase.

The Supreme Master smiled and said: "Maybe it was like this before, but now, the situation is different. The power of Luhua Palace alone cannot protect Ling Changqing.

It would be better for him to cooperate with our Shenluo Palace and share the opportunity with him. I believe Qin Mengxuan will not refuse this win-win choice."

"Is that so? That's fine..."

Chen Chuyu hesitated and nodded slightly.

It would be fine if she hadn't encountered it, but if she really had the chance to obtain such a rare opportunity, she would never give it to others.

The Supreme Master gently stroked the diamond-shaped bronze mirror in his hand, with a hint of helplessness in his tone:

"It's a pity that the son of destiny cannot be deduced by the secret method of heaven, otherwise I would risk sacrificing a thousand years of cultivation to find him as soon as possible!"

Over the years, there have been people at the top of major powers who have taken risky attempts to track down the whereabouts of the Son of Destiny using various secret methods. Unfortunately, they all ended in vain, and some major forces even paid a painful price.

The most exaggerated was the Yuanshi Demon Palace far away in Shunzhou. Their top leaders sacrificed the flesh and souls of millions of slave monks and held a blood sacrifice ceremony called "Yuanmo Wenda", but in the end they gained nothing.

Since then, the top leaders of many major forces have given up on this idea and no longer consider the option of deducing the secrets of heaven.

"Alright, later on, you will take your master's token and go to Luhua Palace to meet Qin Mengxuan and have a good talk with her."

The Supreme Master said.

Chen Chuyu agreed, thought for a moment and asked again: "What about the Taiqing Divine Dynasty? And the Beichen Family?"

"Don't worry about it for now,"

The headmaster's expression turned cold, and he said with a little disdain: "The two families thought they were smart, but they schemed and schemed, and in the end, I'm afraid they would end up losing more than they gained."

Of course, this is still of great benefit to Shenluo Palace. The three-way balance of power in Yaozhou has lasted for too long, and it is time for a change.

The power of Taiqing Divine Dynasty and Beichen Family is not as strong as that of Shenluo Tiangong, so in the past they basically huddled together to resist the pressure from Shenluo Tiangong.

If Yaozhou could become like the Great Xia Dynasty of Yuzhou, with Shenluo Palace being the only dominant power in the future, the Supreme Master would definitely be happy to see it.

After talking for a while, Chen Chuyu stood up, bid farewell to the head teacher, and left the hall.

……

Lilongzhou.

Liuying Ziying and Qin Mengxuan did not stay long this time. They left together after three days and three nights.

Twenty-eight stunning beauties, including Su Qinglian and Liuying Mengluan, stayed in Lilongzhou to accompany Ling Changqing in his dual cultivation.

In other words, it was not until now that the two women felt completely relieved, because only if their own women stayed by Ling Changqing's side could they guarantee that he would never change his mind.

In the following months, under the leadership of Ling Qiyue, the top management of the Ling family began to busy themselves with the selection of a new batch of fairy seedlings.

The Ling family's territory now has expanded to two seas, with millions of islands of all sizes and a population exceeding one trillion.

When the base number is large enough, the harvest during the audition will be greater, and the average quality of the selected fairy seeds will be higher.

However, this would mean that the workload for the elders of the Ling family would be too heavy, and since they already have limited manpower, they would not be able to handle the task if they only held the election once a year.

Therefore, Ling Qiyue decided to change the selection of fairy seedlings to once every three years, and then change it back when the family has sufficient manpower in the future.

At the clan headquarters, on a square paved with green jade bricks, tens of thousands of young boys and girls stood in neat square formations, all in white Taoist robes, with focused expressions and eyes fixed straight ahead.

Of course, before this, the top management of the Ling family had already conducted many screenings to select the best of the best. Every fairy seedling had to defeat hundreds or thousands of peers to have the opportunity to come here.

Unqualified candidates had been cleared out before, and those left now all met the requirements. On the high platform, Ling Changqing, who looked tired, slowly withdrew his gaze and handed the jade slip list he had prepared to Ling Qiyue.

To identify the fate and talents of tens of thousands of people at once was a huge burden for Ling Changqing, even with the assistance of the Epoch Star Palace, and it almost exhausted him.

"My husband, you have worked hard. Go back and rest."

Wearing a bright yellow phoenix palace dress embroidered with the pattern of the sun, moon, stars and clouds, with skin as white as snow, the cool and charming Ling Qiyue said with satisfaction.

After several hours of hard work, all the fairy seedlings suitable for cultivation have been screened, and Ling Changqing no longer needs to do the next thing himself.

"...I never thought that our husband has this ability!"

Among the girls watching the ceremony, Su Qinglian smiled softly, "If the selection of new talents for the next year in Luhua Palace can also be handed over to him, who knows, it might bring more surprises to the sect?"

She is the deputy headmaster of Luhua Palace, and her status is second only to Qin Mengxuan. Naturally, she can see that Ling Changqing's level in this regard is not inferior to that of the senior elders of Luhua Palace, and even better.

Of course, as the legendary son of destiny, it is understandable that he possesses such miraculous power.

Liuying Mengluan pondered and said, "This is definitely no problem. The key is that my husband's identity cannot be exposed. At least we have to wait until he reaches the Spiritual Transformation Realm in the future before we can consider it."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. My husband is tired, so why don't you go back and rest?"

Yu Ruoshuang held Ling Changqing's arm and spoke softly.

Ling Changqing did not refuse. He gave Ling Qiyue a few words of advice and then left surrounded by the girls.

Ling Qiyue then instructed the family elders to take all the newly selected fairy seedlings away, assign them accommodation, and distribute introductory manuals and cultivation resources.

Moreover, after these immortal seedlings have successfully cultivated, they will be given the surname Ling by the family leaders. No matter where they came from before, they will be members of the Ling family from now on.

This is how the fairy seedling seeds were arranged in previous years.

After giving all the instructions, Ling Qiyue returned to the inner study and opened the jade slip list again.

In the jade slip, tens of thousands of names flashed with different colors of light.

Among them, the number of pure gold names is relatively small, only about 50, followed by light gold, more than 200. Then there are yellow, red, white, and so on.

However, the highest-ranking ones are actually five light blue names, three females and two males.

This was specially marked by Ling Changqing. The different colors indicate their future growth limits.

Pure gold means that they have the hope of reaching the Jindan Zhenren level; light gold belongs to the Zhendan cultivator, yellow can reach the false dan level, and red has the opportunity to build a foundation.

As for the light blue color, as long as it does not die prematurely in the future, it is expected to reach the realm of Yuanying Zhenjun.

However, this is not absolute. It also depends on the efforts of the fairy seedling himself, as well as the opportunities and encounters gained during his travels.

If you work hard enough, or get some great opportunity, it is not impossible to break through your original destiny.

If Ling Changqing intends to favor some of them, such as those naturally beautiful female cultivators, then their fate and destiny will soon undergo a complete transformation.

Ling Qiyue read it through, took out a blank jade slip, and wrote down all the female cultivators whose names were light gold or above, a total of ninety-four people.

Afterwards, she also copied a list of the female nuns whose names were in yellow, a total of two hundred and sixty-three people.

"Senior sister? How are you going to deal with this?"

Tang Qiuyao next to her blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, vaguely guessing Ling Qiyue's intention.

"Go and make arrangements and call all these female cultivators over so I can have a look."

Ling Qiyue said.

"Ok."

Tang Qiuyao agreed, turned around and left the inner study, and also called Ling Yulu and Qin Yun to join her.

Not long after, more than 300 girls, led by Tang Qiuyao, rushed into the inner study with nervous looks.

Ling Qiyue looked up, with a slightly satisfied look on her face.

These girls have good looks and temperament. They all have almond eyes, rosy cheeks, bright eyes and white teeth. It is not uncommon to see their stunning beauty that makes people's eyes bright.

After all, they are the elite selected from trillions of ordinary people, and their qualities in all aspects can be said to be outstanding.

After looking around, Ling Qiyue raised her white wrist slightly, and thirty fist-sized balls of bright light condensed out of thin air, slowly hovering above the heads of the thirty girls.

Among them were the three girls who were expected to reach the Yuanying Zhenjun realm. All of them were young, beautiful, and charming, and all of them were virgins.

"Okay, you guys stay here, and the rest of you can go back and continue practicing."

Ling Qiyue ordered.

The girls who failed to be selected inevitably looked a little disappointed, and they obviously understood that those who stayed would definitely receive better treatment.

After they left, Ling Qiyue said to the remaining thirty stunning girls:

"From now on, you are Ling Changqing's maids. Serve him well. In the future, you will have the opportunity to reach the level of Yuanying Zhenjun or even Huashen realm."

"Yes, I will follow the orders of the Patriarch!"

The girls blushed but still bowed and agreed in unison.

Ling Qiyue's move was, of course, to balance the pressure from the Liuying family and the women of Luhua Palace. In Ling Changqing's harem, the number of women from the Ling family must be in the majority.

……

In the inner garden flower hall.

After Ling Changqing took a few fourth-level elixirs, his energy and spirit, which had been on the verge of collapse, recovered rapidly, and soon he was back to his peak state.

"Are you hungry, my husband? Do you need food?"

Ling Bingyun beside him asked softly.

"Ok."

Ling Changqing agreed.

Song Xuelan went out immediately and told the maids to make arrangements.

Soon, many maids in colorful clothes came in with gorgeous trays and placed many carefully cooked delicacies from land and sea on the large banquet table.

Now, within the family, the food storehouse exclusively for Ling Changqing's consumption is basically meat of quasi-fourth-level and fourth-level spiritual beasts and birds, as well as various rare wild treasures, spiritual fruits and flowers.

Of course, there were also many kinds of spiritual wines of different cellar years, all brought by Liuying Ziying and Qin Mengxuan, filling several warehouses.

A moment later, Ling Qiyue, Ling Yulu, Qin Yun and other girls had finished their work and were invited over by the maids.

"Alright, ladies, please take your seats!"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ling Changqing spoke gently.

Then all the ladies started eating together, clinking glasses, laughing and creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

"...Husband, you said last time that after you finish selecting the immortal seedlings, you can practice dual cultivation with us sisters?"

After three rounds of drinks, the beautiful Liuying Mengluan spoke.

Su Qinglian immediately agreed: "Yes, accompanying your husband in dual cultivation is our responsibility and obligation. Your husband, you can't refuse anymore!"

Ling Changqing: “…”
