Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 286: Watch from the sidelines and enjoy the show

"...Husband, this bell was one of the most important artifacts of the Hongmeng Holy Temple: the Fire God Bell."

Meng Feiyu explained softly.

According to legend, this item was a treasure for proving the truth of a certain ancient sage. It was held by many powerful giants and possessed all kinds of incredible powers. Later, by chance, it was obtained by the founder of the Hongmeng Temple.

When the great catastrophe befell, the Hongmeng Temple's tradition was destroyed and its inheritance was cut off, but this important weapon was not taken away by anyone and has remained here ever since.

Treasures of this level are powerful enough to serve as a fundamental weapon for a top sect or a supreme holy place to suppress its destiny.

"But, my husband, you can't get Him now,"

Meng Feiyu smiled and said, "This is just a projection. His real body is on the altar in the core area of ​​the holy land. We have to enter there to collect it."

"I see, let's go in then."

Ling Changqing didn't care. Since he had seen it, it was only a matter of time before he got it.

Bai Qingyi frowned and said, "Even if we finally get it, with our current cultivation level, we probably won't be able to use it, right?"

The grade of this Flint God Bell should belong to the level of acquired treasure. Not to mention Ling Changqing, even the three women's cultivation level cannot drive it.

Therefore, for a long period of time in the future, this important weapon can only be kept as a collection, and perhaps it can only be used when one reaches the Mahayana realm?
"It's nothing, as long as I can get it!"

Ling Changqing smiled and said that as long as he had the treasure in his hands, his cultivation level would be improved sooner or later.

The four of them continued to move forward, passing through the empty square and the majestic jade archway. Along the way, the magnificent palaces and halls covered in rosy clouds were endless, with no end in sight.

Moreover, most of the portals we passed through were in a closed state, with shining spiritual light and countless mysterious and complex runes and prohibitions flowing faintly, and a terrifying pressure was hidden.

At this time, Meng Feiyu's role was reflected. She often only needed a few hand seals to control the restrictions and open the portal, allowing a smooth journey.

"This place seems... everything is brand new? What's going on?"

Bai Qingyi looked around, a hint of doubt appearing in her beautiful eyes.

These palaces, buildings and reliefs on the screen walls are all spotless and look brand new, as if they had just been completed.

"It's really new,"

Meng Feiyu said calmly: "When the Hongmeng Temple was destroyed, all the buildings here were reduced to ruins, except for the small area of ​​the core altar which remained intact..."

Although the holy land encountered a severe disaster, Meng Feiyu's previous life still made a series of secret arrangements. Due to the suppression of the sect's heavy weapons, the giant magic circle hidden underground has been absorbing the essence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for tens of millions of years, slowly and continuously repairing everything in the holy land.

So today, what appeared before the four people was the Hongmeng Holy Temple that had been almost restored to its original state. Everything was brand new, except that there were no living creatures.

"So, outsiders have come into this place before?"

Ling Changqing was thoughtful. Those portals that were already open before they came in should have been opened by some foreign monks?
"Sure, but they can only enter the outer area at most. It is impossible for them to enter the core area."

Meng Feiyu said that after all, so many years had passed, and generations of cultivators had been exploring one after another, so it was impossible that there would be no progress at all.

"Then we have to be careful. We might encounter other monks in there!"

Su Qinglian's expression became solemn. If they encountered other groups of cultivators here, a fight would be inevitable.

"Well, that's natural."

Meng Feiyu smiled and said that she was not particularly worried about this matter, after all, this was her home ground.

Unless the strength of those foreign cultivators is extremely strong, even surpassing the realm of refining emptiness, they may pose a threat to them, but this possibility is not high.

The four of them walked forward along the way. The palaces and caves they saw along the way were full of the style of the ancient times. They were majestic and grand yet delicate and soft, with an indescribable aura of Taoism and laws, majestic, heavy, mysterious and remote.

When passing through another white jade corridor shining with spiritual light, Ling Changqing's expression changed slightly. He took out the magic tool and quickly made a divination, saying in a low voice:

"It seems that there are more monks breaking in from outside, and there are quite a few of them. What should we do?"

"They didn't sneak in here following us?"

Bai Qingyi frowned slightly and asked uncertainly, she had clearly been very careful, how could it be...

"No, they came from other areas."

Ling Changqing said that he could confirm this point.

"Then it's okay to avoid them in advance. There's no need to get into a conflict."

Meng Feiyu said that she knew several routes to reach the core area of ​​the holy land, so there was no need to be too nervous.

Ling Changqing thought about it, and then used the secret technique of heaven to silently deduce for a while, and said in a low voice:

"This may not be safe. There are people inside as well, and there may be more than one group!"

He should not have had any illusions about this before. Such ruins of immortal palaces from the ancient times have never lacked cultivators who dare to take risks, even if they face the risk of falling.

"Forget it. Since we can't avoid them, we can only use thunder and lightning to eliminate them!"

There was a hint of solemnity in Meng Feiyu's soft and charming voice.

Originally, this Hongmeng Holy Temple was his home. Even though he had been reincarnated, his ownership of this place was unshakable.

Now those outsiders openly broke into her house to rummage through the drawers and search for opportunities, how could she be in a good mood?
The four of them discussed it and continued on their journey. Meng Feiyu deliberately chose a relatively remote route. Even though it was a bit far, it could at least reduce the probability of encountering those guys.

Turning behind a golden crystal screen wall that was shining brightly and covered with lightning patterns of mythical beasts, Meng Feiyu fiddled with it for a few times, and a secret door quietly appeared before her eyes.

"Let's go. From here we can quickly reach a small secret library. There are some things in it that were originally prepared for low- and middle-level disciples, but now they are suitable for your family, my husband."

Meng Feiyu said this and led the three people in.

Behind the portal was a crystal passage filled with light and shadow. After they entered, the portal disappeared quietly and there was no longer any abnormality to be seen on the screen wall.

However, not long after Ling Changqing and the three girls left, thousands of cultivators with powerful auras surged in like a tide in front of the archway shrouded in rosy clouds and below the three thousand jade steps.

They were all dressed in the same jade-colored Taoist robes, and there were both men and women, young and old, and it was obvious that they were from the same force.

The leader was a child who looked no more than seven or eight years old, but his eyes revealed a vicissitudes of life that did not match his appearance. He held a lotus whisk in his hand, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Void Refining Realm.

As for the cultivators behind him, their strength ranges from the Nascent Soul stage to the Spiritual Transformation stage, and they are indeed an extremely powerful team.

"...Master, it seems someone just went in."

An old man with white hair and a youthful face had a gleam in his eyes. He glanced at the steps in front of him and spoke in a low voice.

The child's lips moved slightly, and an old, hoarse voice rang out:

"Hongmeng Temple is the top Taoist sect in the ancient times. There are naturally countless opportunities in it. It is natural that it is coveted by all kinds of monsters and demons in this world.

It is impossible for our Yu family to monopolize the benefits here. After we go in, we can only take it one step at a time."

"What the head of the family said is absolutely true."

The old man said with a smile that the Yu family had mobilized nearly half of the family's elite troops to come here, so naturally they could not return empty-handed.

"Let's go in,"

The child raised his head and looked at the top of the three thousand steps, the majestic and awe-inspiring glowing portal, and said softly:

"The family has been preparing for this operation for hundreds of years. Whether this trip will yield any results depends on God's will!" After saying this, the child was the first to climb the stairs, followed closely by a group of Yu family cultivators.

Less than half an hour after they entered, another large group of cultivators rushed over, and their number was slightly larger than that of the Yu family team.

The young monk who led the team was dressed in a snow-white robe, with a handsome face, looking like a suave and elegant young man. The aura he exuded was not inferior to that of the patriarch of the Yu family.

"...My Lord, the guys from the Yu family have already gone in."

A feminine and ethereal voice sounded faintly.

The young man in white shook the jade-broken fan in his hand and said lazily:

"Just go in! We need their help to explore the way and avoid pitfalls anyway, so it doesn't matter!"

"My Lord, should we wait now or follow him in?"

A beautiful girl in green asked respectfully.

The young man in white smiled and said, "There's no need to wait any longer. Let's go in! Who knows, there might be more than one group of monsters in there!"

He took the lead and walked up the stairs with his subordinates, and disappeared into the gate in a moment.

This time the peace lasted less than two hours before the third wave of uninvited guests showed up.

There were tens of thousands of monks coming this time, and they were all beautiful and graceful female monks.

These women were all dressed in sapphire blue dresses, carrying magic swords on their backs, with black hair like ink, bright eyes and white teeth. They were so lively and cheerful.

The woman in the lead was dressed in a gorgeous golden feathered gown. She had an unparalleled beauty, holy and dignified, exquisite as a painting, with undulating curves of her figure, enchanting and hot, and jade-like legs of astonishing length.

Her cultivation is also at the peak of the Refining Void realm, and the dozen or so stunningly beautiful ladies around her are all powerful ones at the Refining Void level.

"...Palace Master, those demons have already gone in, what should we do now?"

A beautiful woman with a jade-like face, noble and bright, asked.

The palace master frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said:

“Those guys from the Scarlet Shadow Demon Sect have always acted lawless. In order to fight for the opportunity, they will inevitably kill all the members of the Yu family!
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with us. We just need to successfully obtain the Taoist inheritance of Hongmeng Temple!"

"What the Palace Master said is very true!"

The beautiful woman agreed and said that Xuannv Palace had been in decline for many years in Qingming Continent and had long since become a second-rate force. Whether it could revive now depended on this trip to Hongmeng Temple.

If they could obtain the inheritance of this ancient Taoist lineage, there would be hope for the sect's revival, and it would be just around the corner for it to return to the ranks of the top forces in the Qingming Continent.

Even... it is not impossible to dominate the Qingming Continent and become the only superpower from then on.

Then, under the leadership of the Palace Master, tens of thousands of beautiful female cultivators also rushed up the stairs and entered the gate.

……

At this time, Ling Changqing, Meng Feiyu and the other two girls had already passed through several palace corridors and secret passages and arrived at a secret hall with a radius of only more than 20 feet.

There are thirty-six lifelike statues of ancient mythical beasts, each about ten feet tall.

Canglong, Lihuang, Tianhu, Kunpeng, Kaiming, Bifang...

"Sure enough, no one has come in here before."

Meng Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief. These statues were set up by herself back then, and the seals and restrictions on them were still intact.

"What's in here?"

Ling Changqing asked. He could see that these sculptures were not simple. Perhaps they were Taoist puppets that could fight?
"Of course it is the last legacy of the sect. Although it is not much, it is still a huge fortune for your family, my husband."

Meng Feiyu said this while making a few hand seals towards the statue of an enlightened beast beside her.

Amidst the soft golden light, the statue slowly cracked open, revealing the hidden space inside.

Inside was a bright yellow bracelet with a simple shape.

"This is a good storage device. It is filled with cut spirit crystals. It should be enough for the family to use for hundreds of years!"

Meng Feiyu took the bracelet, erased the restriction on it, and handed it to Ling Changqing.

Ling Changqing took the bracelet and explored it with his spiritual sense, and found that the space inside was about three miles in radius.

The entire space was filled with crystal bricks that were about a foot square and had five-colored halos flowing through them. They were all middle-grade and high-grade spiritual crystals.

Like spirit stones, spirit crystals are also divided into four grades: low grade, medium grade, high grade, and top grade.

One hundred top-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one low-grade spirit crystal, and the subsequent exchange ratios are similar.

In this era, spirit crystals have become a relatively rare resource. Usually only top forces such as the Shenluo Palace, the Daxia Divine Dynasty, and the Yuanshi Demon Palace have spirit crystals in circulation.

Ordinary Nascent Soul forces may have never seen what a spirit crystal looks like, let alone used it.

Of course, Yuzhou's three major chambers of commerce must have spiritual crystals in circulation reserves, but the quantity may not be too much.

Therefore, the total value of the spiritual crystal bricks in this bracelet is already an extremely astonishing figure, enough for the Ling family to use for hundreds of years.

Then, Meng Feiyu did the same thing again and opened the second statue of the ancient mythical beast, which also contained a large-capacity storage bracelet.

The bracelet contains various kinds of pill bottles. The quality of the pills inside is so high that perhaps even Bai Qingyi has never seen many of them. Each one is a rare treasure that cannot be measured by spirit stones.

"pity……"

Meng Feiyu unscrewed a long-necked jade bottle, poured out a few thumb-sized, light red pills, looked at them, and shook her head helplessly:

"They have been stored for too long, and most of the medicinal properties of these pills have been lost. They are basically unusable."

Bai Qingyi and Su Qinglian sighed with regret. This was indeed a frustrating result.

"Forget it. If it's not destined, don't force it. There's nothing to be disappointed about."

Ling Changqing smiled and said that even if these pills were well preserved, he would not be able to take them now because of their high grade, so he could only keep them there.

Therefore, whether there is such a batch of pills or not has no impact on him and the Ling family now.

In the future, if he reaches a certain level of cultivation, Ling Changqing can completely refine pills of the corresponding grade by himself, and will not be short of money for this purpose at all.

Next, Meng Feiyu opened the remaining mythical beast statues one by one and took out various talismans, medicinal herbs, spiritual gold materials, formation diagrams and spiritual treasures, martial arts books, etc.

After final screening, it was discovered that the talismans and medicinal herb raw materials inside had basically become waste, just like the elixirs.

However, those rare spiritual ores and spiritual gold materials are still well preserved. There are fifth- and sixth-grade materials, which can be taken back to refine various high-level magical weapons and spiritual treasures.

There are also several martial arts manuals, which are basically of the top-grade earth level. Not only can Ling Changqing practice them himself, but they can also enrich the family's foundation.

"This suit is great, my husband, it's perfect for you!"

Meng Feiyu handed over a set of dark purple robes that shone with spiritual light and were covered with star patterns, cloud patterns, and the sun and moon.

This is a set of clothing of mid-grade spiritual treasure level, which is a bit beyond the standard for ordinary Yuanying Zhenjun. However, with Ling Changqing's powerful magic power, he can barely use it.
