Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 84: Vajra Devil Subduing Technique
In the world of cultivating immortals, once a low-level cultivator reaches the ninth level of Qi training, he must consider preparing for building his foundation.

Those monks who have no background and limited resources often start to prepare for a rainy day when they are at the seventh or eighth level of Qi training.

Even if you have to save money, scrape together money, or even cheat, you have to gather enough resources to build the foundation.

However, most low-level cultivators do not even have such conditions, because of their poor aptitude, serious injuries in their early years, or advanced age, etc., they cannot succeed even if they have the Foundation Establishment Pill.

In the early years, a high-level cultivator had done statistics in this regard. Among one hundred low-level cultivators in the late stage of Qi training, no more than three could successfully build a foundation.

In small families and sects at the foundation-building stage, this ratio is slightly higher. Among a hundred late-stage Qi training cultivators, there may be four or five who have successfully built their foundation.

Of course, due to differences in geographical and resource conditions, this result may not be accurate, but it is enough to illustrate how difficult it is for low-level monks.

However, Ling Changqing's situation is obviously different. With the care of Ling Qiyue, the Jindan Zhenren, his foundation-building resources have long been prepared, and they are all the best.

After he has accumulated enough energy at the ninth level of Qi training, Ling Changqing can go into seclusion and focus on building his foundation without having to worry about anything.

In the boudoir embroidery building.

"... Junior brother, you should keep a low profile in the future and avoid being targeted by some guys with bad intentions."

Ling Qiyue, with her long black hair like a waterfall and her beautiful face, spoke softly in a gorgeous sky-blue flowing dress and a silk embroidered bodice of the same color. Her proud breasts were tall and round, and seemed to be about to burst through her clothes.

The smooth and tight waist can be held in one hand, and below is a plump and full moon. The outline of the slender legs is faintly visible under the skirt, exuding a speechless charm.

"Yes, that's what Senior Sister said."

Ling Changqing agreed, and admired the sister's dazzling snowy skin, her graceful and exquisite body curves, and such perfect long legs. If only he could hold them in his hands and play with them...

"What are you looking at?"

Ling Qiyue blushed and said coquettishly, then raised her delicate hand and gave him a light slap on the face.

Since this fellow's cultivation level is improving fast enough, he still has the image of a beautiful young man with a graceful figure and elegant appearance. Judging from his appearance alone, he is a perfect match for her.

Who knows, even after he achieves foundation building or even golden elixir realm in the future, his appearance may still not change at all.

Ling Changqing coughed, looked away slightly, and asked:

"I looked around the family treasury earlier, but didn't find any suitable skills or magical powers to exchange. I wonder if you have any here, Senior Sister?"

Even though they had taken over all of the Wu family's assets last time, there were still not many martial arts books and manuals in the Ling family's treasury, and they were generally of low quality.

These resources require a large amount of family merits to exchange. Although Ling Changqing has no shortage of merits now, he no longer cares about these low-level skills and magical powers.

The information about the middle and lower volumes of the mysterious alchemy book had been explained clearly before the head of the Wu family was executed, but with Ling Changqing's cultivation level, it was not suitable for him to go out and look for it now.

Xue Qingtan from the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce brought a mid-grade Xuan-level Taiyi Liuhe Sword Qi last time, but unfortunately the exchange price was too exaggerated and Ling Changqing could not agree to it.

That's why he came here specially to ask his senior sister for help today, perhaps he could get something from her private library.

Ling Qiyue pondered and said, "I do have a copy of the Vajra Demon Subduing Technique, which is a lower-grade Xuan-level body-refining technique. Why don't I give it to you?"

This was something she got by chance when she was traveling in her early years. Since she was not interested in the physical cultivation route, she kept this set of exercises. Now maybe she could let Ling Changqing try it.

"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister!"

Ling Changqing looked slightly happy. He couldn't ask for too much at this stage. It was already a pleasant surprise to have such a book on body-building exercises.

Ling Qiyue hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Actually, you don't have to be so anxious. Why don't you consider it after you build your foundation?"

Of course she knew Ling Changqing's plan, and such examples were not uncommon in the past.

Some of the chosen ones who come from powerful forces and possess earth-grade spiritual roots or even heaven-grade spiritual roots will often choose to develop along the path of sword cultivation, magic cultivation, and physical cultivation all at the same time.

Anyway, they have spiritual roots, resources, skills, background, and even famous teachers in related fields, so it is natural for them to spend as they please.

However, for the majority of low-level cultivators, this wasteful choice is not advisable. It may even hinder their own cultivation progress and delay future foundation-building plans.

"Okay, let's talk about it after we build our foundation." Ling Changqing nodded. It didn't matter whether it was sooner or later. It would be the same if we made arrangements after we built our foundation.

Cultivating immortals is, to a large extent, a process of competing in background and resources.

Even if they have the same spiritual roots, the same background, the same level of effort, and even the same cultivation techniques and manuals, as long as the resources and conditions are different, the final results will be very different.

For example, if one cultivator can get cultivation resources equivalent to one hundred spirit stones every month, while another cultivator can get five hundred spirit stones every month, then after several years, the cultivation achievements of the two will definitely be different.

The one with more resources will inevitably have an advantage, and as time goes by, this gap will become more and more obvious.

Given the vastness of this space and time, there is actually no shortage of resources, but they are all controlled and monopolized by the top forces, and the middle and lower-level forces can only get a very small share.

As for the largest number of grassroots independent cultivators, they basically have nothing and can only make a living by selling cheap labor.

Without special opportunities, low-level monks will work hard and work themselves to death all their lives, but they will basically remain at the bottom, and their descendants will be no exception.

"Sister, when are you going to go out to sea next time?"

Ling Changqing asked again, whether it was to search for resources or to dig for spirit stones, he would go along.

"Let's wait for a while. The family's resources are sufficient now. We can talk about it later."

Ling Qiyue smiled slightly. Time was on the side of the Ling family anyway. As long as the person in charge kept calm and did not make any waves and developed things step by step, it would be a natural thing for them to dominate the Feiyu Sea.

"However, after you have successfully established your foundation in the future, perhaps you can go on a long journey with me!"

Ling Qiyue continued speaking, her expression becoming more serious.

"Where to go?"

Ling Changqing asked with some curiosity.

"It is an ancient immortal palace,"

Ling Qiyue explained: "My alchemy inheritance and the few top-grade spiritual tools I use now all came from there."

"It's a pity that my luck is a bit bad. I have been able to enter the outer area several times, but I have never been able to enter the core area."

The opportunity she got from the ancient immortal palace played a key role in her current achievements in cultivation. Otherwise, she would have been at most in the middle or late stage of foundation building.

"If that's the case, it's definitely worth a look."

Ling Changqing pondered, thinking that with his luck and fortune, perhaps he would gain something different by going there?

"Well, we can do it together then!"

Ling Qiyue smiled widely. With this guy around, there should be a great chance of success.

"Okay, I'll go back and rest first."

Ling Changqing said this, then hugged Ling Qiyue and kissed her before leaving.

I have been entangled with my senior sister here for most of the day. There is a guest waiting in my own spiritual cave. Even though he is not a very important person, I still have to go and meet him.

He walked out of the embroidery building, through the quiet and elegant corridor, and walked quickly all the way. The family guards and Taoist soldier puppets along the way ignored him.

In the spiritual vein cave.

Song Xueland, who had picturesque eyebrows and a beautiful face, frowned slightly and looked at the slender, delicate and timid girl in the green dress in front of her.

The other party's cultivation level is only at the fourth level of Qi training, his spiritual roots are average, and his appearance and figure are not particularly outstanding.

With this condition, not to mention the other daughters of the Ling family, even I have an advantage over her. The young master doesn't like such a thin figure.

However, this time she came with the token of Deacon Ling Zifeng, so Song Xuelan did not dare to be disrespectful and immediately sent a message to Ling Changqing.
