Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 14 Luck and Fortune

not long time.

The news that Ling Changqing had made a large sum of money today quickly spread among the pearl divers, and naturally caused quite a stir.

"…This bastard's luck is too good to be true. One day of work in the sea is equivalent to a month of hard work for us!"

"One month? It should be two or three months, right? In which month can you earn 150 spirit stones by going to the sea?"

"This kid is really intolerable! Why didn't he die at the bottom of the sea?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I heard that he has practiced the Xuanzhen Black Water Sutra, and his status and position are equivalent to that of an official member of the Ling family."

"Well, the deacon thinks highly of him. I wonder how far this kid will go in the future?"

"Humph! I hope he doesn't get robbed along the way. The bottom of the sea is very dangerous. Even if he has some luck, can he guarantee that everything will go smoothly?"

……

All kinds of envious, jealous and hateful discussions inevitably reached Ling Changqing's ears, but he didn't take them seriously at all.

According to Ling Zifeng's point of view, these low-level cultivators are consumables, and their thoughts have never been important.

Ling Changqing in the future is destined to be a different kind of person from them.

In the dining room.

With the permission of the Lord Deacon, Ling Changqing can now dine with many other members of the Ling family and no longer have to go to the pearl divers' area and squeeze with those guys.

Real spiritual rice, various first-level monster meats, spiritual wine specially provided for the Ling family members, etc., all in large quantities and enough to fill you up.

Both the taste and the spiritual energy contained in it are far better than the junk food Ling Changqing had eaten before.

"...I have accumulated another three hundred spirit stones. Let's go buy some pills later. It's only right to speed up the improvement of my cultivation!"

Ling Changqing was thinking in his mind while concentrating on eating.

The more strength he has, the more chances he has to save his life, so he still dares not slack off at all.

Although I seem to be in a very good position now, at least much better than those pearl divers, this position is quite unstable.

If you encounter a setback, such as being injured by a powerful monster at the bottom of the sea, there is no need to predict what will happen next.

Those who are jealous of Ling Changqing will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury and make him unable to recover forever.

Therefore, every bit of resources obtained now must be transformed into real cultivation as soon as possible, so that Ling Changqing can feel at ease.

After eating and drinking, Ling Changqing got up and went to the trading area inside the cabin.

"...Young man from the Ling family, what are you going to order this time?"

The owner of the medicine shop greeted him with a smile, saying that whenever the young man in blue shirt saved up some spirit stones, most of them would be sent to him before they could even warm up.

"Six Xuanyin Blood Yuan Pills, and twenty Huiling Pills, as well as some Healing Pills and Qi Replenishing Yuan Pills."

As Ling Changqing spoke, he took out all the spirit stones in the storage bag, leaving no one behind.

"OK, just a second."

There was a hint of appreciation in the shopkeeper's tone.

Most of the pearl divers he had met in the past were people who lived for the moment and spent most of the spiritual sand they earned on brothels and wine shops, without giving any thought to the future.

It is extremely rare to find someone as determined as Ling Changqing who spares no effort in purchasing medicinal resources to improve his cultivation.

A moment later, the skillful waiter had counted the pills and brought them over.

After Ling Changqing checked and found everything was correct, he thanked politely and turned to leave.

"...If you keep working hard, you can move to a new place in another month, right?"

Walking into the cabin as narrow as a pigeon cage, Ling Changqing pondered silently.

Ling Zifeng said that as long as he could work hard for another month and without any mistakes, he would be allowed to move to the cabins on the upper floors.

That was the living area for the children of the Ling family. Not only was it more spacious and had special maids to take care of them, but the rooms were also equipped with small spiritual energy arrays.

Ling Changqing was naturally looking forward to this, after all, people always strive for higher goals. He slowly sat down on the bed, took out a Xuanyin Blood Yuan Pill and swallowed it, and then Ling Changqing continued to stay up late to cultivate immortality.

A night passed quietly.

The next day, Ling Changqing opened his eyes again on the bed and silently reviewed his progress in cultivation over the past month.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, a message with a mysterious rhyme of Tao emerged silently:
[Lord of the Era Star Palace: Ling Changqing]

【Bone age: 14】

[Cultivation: Qi training level 3]

【Luck:18+93】

【Fortune: 18+70】

【Physique:14】

【Root bone: 12】

【Comprehension: 13】

[Soul: 19]

[Main cultivation technique: Xuanzhen Black Water Sutra (first level) 2970\5000]

[Water escape technique: (first level) 912/1000]

[Water Spirit Shield: (One layer) 930/1000]

Various physical attributes continued to improve, including the main skills and magical spells, and his own cultivation was not far from the fourth level of Qi training.

“I just don’t know what level of luck and fortune those foundation builders have, and whether the gap between them and me is that big…”

Ling Changqing muttered to himself that he went to sea to work every day and every time he could earn far more than other pearl divers. In addition to his extraordinary spiritual perception ability, his strong luck and fortune also played a role.

It's a pity that he has not been able to meet a true foundation-building master so far, so he has no way to compare.

Anyway, the luck and fortune of Tang Qiuyao and Ling Yunfeng, two cultivators at the eighth level of Qi training, combined cannot be compared with Ling Changqing.

Therefore, Ling Changqing's efficiency in finding and collecting resources on the seabed is somewhat exaggerated. Putting aside his cultivation level, perhaps even a foundation-building cultivator would have to admit defeat?

Of course, Ling Changqing's extraordinary gains yesterday were still due to accidental factors.

Under normal circumstances, Ling Changqing can now bring back about fifteen to twenty-five low-grade spirit stones every day.

This refers to the share he handed over to Ling Zifeng, not including the part he secretly ate at the bottom of the sea. These precious ingredients were naturally transformed into his cultivation.

It can be predicted that as time goes by, it will be natural for Ling Changqing to break through the fourth level of Qi training, and the fifth level will no longer be an unattainable dream.

Gathering his scattered thoughts, Ling Changqing got up from the bed, put his clothes and tools in order, and walked out of the room.

A moment later, he appeared on the front deck.

At this time, all the pearl divers had gathered. After Ling Zifeng finished his speech, they each got on their small boats and went into the water to continue their new day of working at sea.

Ling Changqing was naturally the last one to arrive. He did this on purpose. Ling Zifeng didn't mind at all anyway.

"I'm going down!"

After the routine greetings, Ling Changqing waved to the deacon, turned around, went down the rope ladder to his own boat, and headed towards the distant sea.

By the time he returned to the familiar sea water environment again, it was already half an hour later.

A dark blue light curtain appeared around him, isolating him from the biting cold and heavy pressure of the sea water.

Since practicing the Xuanzhen Black Water Sutra, Ling Changqing's adaptability to the marine environment has improved a lot.

For example, you will be more flexible when moving in water, consume less physical and spiritual energy, and can stay in water longer, etc. There is also the sharpness of the soul's perception, which makes it faster to practice water-related magic.

After calmly descending to the bottom of the sea, Ling Changqing drew out his dagger and held it in his hand, and began to look for a suitable target.
