Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 300 The birth of a daughter
Linshazhou market.

Ever since the Ling family replaced the Cen family and became the owner of this place, they have carried out large-scale expansion and various upgrades to the market town.

Today, the scale here has expanded more than ten times, and its popularity is growing. After all, the Ling family already owns territories in five sea areas.

Over the years, cultivators from all walks of life have gathered here. The largest number are naturally the independent cultivators, ranging from the Qi training stage to the Golden Core stage. Most of them want to live here permanently.

The bigger the power, the more popular the territory will be, the richer the resources will be, and naturally there will be more opportunities for development.

So over time, there were tens of thousands of foreign monks in the market town, from all walks of life, all kinds of people.

For big forces, this is an inevitable situation, and no one is exempt. The top leaders of the Ling family did not deliberately avoid this point, but simply strengthened the power of the market.

There is always a Yuanying Zhenjun from the Ling family in charge of the market town at any time, plus a certain number of Jindan Zhenren, which is enough to ensure that those foreign cultivators behave themselves and dare not cause trouble.

In an ordinary-looking talisman shop on the East Street of Fangshi, two servants in blue robes were standing at the door chatting casually. Since there were not many customers coming, they were happy to have some free time.

As for whether the business is good or not and how much profit there is, those are things the shopkeeper needs to worry about. The wages of their employees are fixed.

In the back room of the shop, the heavily made-up and graceful lady boss sat behind the counter, looking worried as she moved the beads on the abacus and sighed:
"We've lost money again this month. What's going to happen if this continues? Are we going to have to starve?"

Opposite her, a fat man with a round face and dressed in silk and satin was leaning against the counter, with his belly sticking out and smiling:
"Forget it! You are not cut out for business, and your superiors didn't arrange you to come here just to make a few bucks."

The lady boss rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Just call me an idiot! I am a top figure in the organization, but I can't even run a small shop. It's really embarrassing to tell others about it!"

"Forget it. Every profession has its specialties. You are not meant to do this. There is no need to take this matter to heart."

The round-faced fat man straightened his expression and asked quietly with his mind: "I haven't been here for a few years. How is the situation here?"

"What else?"

The proprietress fiddled with the abacus and looked up at him: "The speed at which this family's strength is increasing is indeed unreasonably fast. Just at the end of last year, they actually gave birth to another Yuanying Zhenjun!
And according to the information we have received, the new Yuanying Zhenjun is named Song Xuelan, and she was originally just the personal maid of the head of the family, Ling Changxing!"

"Is there still this?"

The round-faced fat man frowned and asked, "What number are these? What kind of opportunity did the Ling family get to cultivate so many Yuanying Zhenjun?"

The proprietress pondered and said, "I think the backers behind them are most likely Luhua Palace, or Liuying Family? Xianyin Pavilion is also possible."

"Maybe. After all, except for the patriarch Ling Changxing, the rest of the Yuanying Zhenjun are women, and most of the elders at the Jindan level are also female cultivators."

The round-faced fat man blinked his eyes and murmured.

The Ling family had the support of a powerful force and was supported as a vassal force, acting as a powerful pawn of the behind-the-scenes forces near the coast of Yuzhou. That is why they were able to obtain so many resources in a short period of time and produce so many powerful people.

This inference seems reasonable and completely self-consistent, so much so that many foreign monks believe so.

However, based on the intuition of this round-faced fat man, he always felt that something was wrong. Perhaps the truth of the matter was not like this at all?

"What stage have we reached in our plan?"

After thinking for a moment, the round-faced fat man continued to ask.

The proprietress shook her head and said, "It's not ideal. The targets we are looking for now have low cultivation levels. The key is that they don't have good talent and qualifications, and their growth potential is limited. Even if they live for a few decades, they won't be able to get a good position in the Ling family.

As for the Ling family members above the Fake Dan level, although we now have the opportunity to contact them, it is more difficult than expected to win them over and turn them against us. "

"so what?"

"If I want to complete the task assigned by the organization, I must obtain more resources and more time to plan, only then will I have a chance to succeed!"

The proprietress said in a deep voice.

The round-faced fat man looked her up and down for a while, frowned and thought for a few breaths, and finally nodded:
"Okay, I will report the situation to the higher-ups as soon as possible, and you will get more support."

……

When Zi Yunxi visited Linsha Island again, Ling Changqing's first daughter was finally born.

In the luxurious and elegant flower hall in the inner courtyard of the palace, Tang Qiuyao, Liuying Mengluan, Meng Feiyu and other girls have all arrived. The beautiful girls are so charming and beautiful that they are dazzling.

Ling Changqing paced back and forth at the door of the delivery room with his hands behind his back and his brows slightly furrowed.

Whether in his previous life or this life, this is the first time for him to be a father. Although he knows there will be no problems, he can't help feeling nervous.

The eyes of the beauties were also fixed on the door of the delivery room, but more of them were on Ling Changqing.

Although there was no evidence, they all felt that Ling Changqing must be biased. Otherwise, why would the first person to receive good news be the head of the family, Ling Qiyue, instead of someone else?

There are many people in the harem now, and there are all kinds of beautiful women, some are thin and some are plump, and some are gorgeous. However, the Taoist partner who can give birth to children for Ling Changqing must have a different weight in his heart.

Yu Ruoshuang, Qin Yun, Bai Qingyi and other girls have secretly gritted their teeth and decided to work together with Ling Changqing in the future to give birth to a second daughter for him.

The reason why she was said to be a daughter was naturally Ling Changqing's own judgment. According to his deduction of the heaven's will, he should have more than one or two daughters, and also daughters' daughters, but it would be difficult for him to have a son.

This is probably not good news for the family. The Ling family is not going to develop into a family headed by female cultivators like the Liuying family, right?

After an unknown amount of time, accompanied by the loud cry of a baby, Ling Changqing's heart finally settled down.

A moment later, the midwife came out with a swaddling baby in her arms, smiling.

Ling Changqing hurried forward, took his daughter gently, held her in his arms and looked at her carefully. The beauties also gathered around him.

The baby girl in the cradle is now fast asleep. Her facial features have inherited the exquisite and cold features of her mother Ling Qiyue, but she also has a heroic spirit. She is a truly stunning beauty.

"…Congratulations, husband!"

The ladies all started to congratulate him, their smiles were not fake, but the resentment they felt towards him deep down was real.

"This girl has really good talent and aptitude! Her luck and fortune are also strong enough!"

There was a hint of surprise in Zi Yunxi's tone.

Ling Changqing nodded and said: "It is indeed very good. In the future, it will not be a problem to reach the realm of refining emptiness, and it is not impossible to merge and transcend the tribulation!"

He himself now only has a medium-grade spiritual root, but this girl was born with a superior spiritual root, and has all five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

As for her luck and fortune, they were also quite good, and she was outstanding among the women in the harem.

"Husband, have you given your daughter a name?"

Tang Qiuyao stepped forward, took the swaddling clothes, looked at it lovingly, and said to Ling Changqing.

She and Ling Qiyue have the deepest relationship, so she feels particularly close to this daughter.

Ling Changqing thought for a moment and said, "How about calling her Ling Shuanghua?"

"Well, this is good, let's decide it like this!"

Tang Qiuyao repeated it several times and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she expressed her agreement.

Then, Ling Changqing lifted the door curtain and entered the delivery room, where he saw Ling Qiyue had already finished cleaning and was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

After all, she is a cultivator, and her recovery ability is far beyond that of ordinary people. At this moment, she is basically fine.

"Thank you for your hard work, my lady."

Ling Changqing walked over, hugged the female head of the family and kissed her. As the two Taoist companions who had first devoted themselves to him, their feelings for him were naturally special.

Ling Qiyue opened her bright eyes, her smile full of happiness: "After so many years of hard work, you finally become a father!"

"Well, it's mainly your credit, my lady!"

Ling Changqing smiled and said that he was mainly responsible for sowing the seeds, but whether the seeds would blossom and bear fruit depended on the woman.
