Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 34 Isn’t it beautiful?

Sure enough, it came so soon...

Ling Changqing glanced at Tang Qiuyao. This stunningly beautiful woman had a calm expression at the moment and didn't seem to have any intention of speaking.

He sighed silently and asked gently, "I wonder which lineage your eldest daughter is from?"

The Ling family has several direct branches, so there must be more than one pampered young lady. I don’t know which elder behind the scenes took a fancy to me.

As for the name of this young lady and her level of cultivation, it is not so important. If it is too bad, the other party will definitely not be able to show it.

The maid bowed slightly and said softly, "My young lady's great-grandfather is the great elder Tianque."

Ling Changqing shook his head gently: "In that case, please go back, young lady. I don't want to be misunderstood by the head of the family."

If I really meet that rich young lady, it might not be easy to explain things clearly, so it is better to make my attitude clear directly and not give the other party a chance to cause trouble.

"..."

The maid looked stunned, but didn't dare to say anything. She bowed and turned away.

After she walked away, Tang Qiuyao smiled slightly and said, "I heard that Miss Ling Xueyu is quite talented, talented, and beautiful. Don't you want to go and see her, little junior brother?"

"What can I do if I see it?"

Ling Changqing glanced at her and said, "Anyway, in the clan, I only listen to you and the head of the family. As for what others think, it has nothing to do with me."

The lineage of the head of the family, Ling Qiyue, is now in power, and this situation is unlikely to change for hundreds of years to come.

From Ling Changqing's point of view, of course choosing Ling Qiyue is the best solution, no one else can be trusted.

Don't talk about looking for support within the family or something like that. Isn't it nice to have a senior sister as your supporter?

Not to mention the thigh of the head of the family, Ling Qiyue. As long as Ling Changqing can hold on to her, he will never want to change her in his life.

Tang Qiuyao smiled with satisfaction: "I am very happy that you think this way, little junior brother. I believe the head of the family will also be very pleased."

"Those old guys are incompetent and only know how to scheme and fight for power in the clan. The head of the family has tolerated them for a long time!"

If it weren't for the fact that they had made some contributions in the past, possessed considerable power, and were still of some use to the family, Ling Qiyue would have long since been unable to resist launching a major purge.

Being able to seize power with her own strength and force the previous head of the family to abdicate in disgrace, Ling Qiyue is definitely not a harmless naive person.

"When can we leave?"

Ling Changqing asked. Since he had already arrived, he didn't care what happened next. The right thing to do was to go back and practice as soon as possible.

Tang Qiuyao said, "The gathering will last for three days. After that, there will be an internal cultivation resource trade fair, where the family members can exchange what they have with each other."

"Then there are sword fighting competitions, auctions, and banquets held specifically for the children of the family to meet each other."

Ling Changqing thought about it and thought that this trade fair might be worth a look. Maybe there would be a chance to find a bargain? He was not interested in anything else.

On the other side, the maid returned to the corner of the courtyard and softly explained the whole story to the petite girl in the green dress.

"Sure enough, I knew it... Ling Qiyue is really going too far!"

The beautiful lady in red clothes named Ling Yuzhu had a cold expression on her face and gritted her teeth as she said, "Ling Changqing doesn't dare to accept it. This must be the result of their joint coercion. This is simply too much!"

Ling Rensong sighed, "Don't say anything. After all, she is the head of the family. Ling Changqing was also discovered by her people. It would be unreasonable for us to go up and poach her like this."

Although they have complaints about Ling Qiyue, the female head of the family, the Ling family really can't do without her now, and the elders are not so foolish as to ignore the overall interests of the family.

Ling Yuzhu was obviously unwilling: "What should I do? Apart from Ling Changqing, it will be difficult to find a more suitable person for Yu'er in the family. "

Ling Tianque looked calm and said, "There's no rush for this matter. If it doesn't work this time, then let's wait until next time when Tang Qiuyao is not around. Go talk to him in person."

"Well, that's it."

Ling Yuzhu nodded and agreed.

……

In the following gatherings, Ling Changqing always maintained the mentality of a bystander. Apart from the spiritual wine and tea provided free of charge by the family, and various snacks and delicacies, he ate with relish and didn't care about anything else.

During this period, there were people who tried to strike up a conversation with Ling Changqing, and some even invited him to have tea and discuss philosophy.

However, with Tang Qiuyao around, they all returned disappointed without exception. Originally, Ling Changqing didn't want to have any interaction with them.

Forget about saying things like making more friends, more paths and the like. For cultivators in the Qi training stage, the first priority is to race against time and spare no effort to improve their cultivation. Everything else has to take a back seat.

As long as Ling Changqing's cultivation level continues to improve, and even reaches the Foundation Establishment stage in the future, there will be too many people coming to curry favor with him.

The first day of the family gathering passed quietly, and Ling Changqing didn't recognize any of the Ling family members.

The next morning, there was a family trade fair. Hundreds of small stalls appeared in the courtyard, selling all kinds of resources such as spiritual medicines and herbs, elixirs, magic tools, talismans, puppets, spiritual wine and ingredients.

With Tang Qiuyao's vision, she would naturally not be interested in this level of trading. So Ling Changqing went out alone to wander around. Because cultivation requires too much resources, and the help provided by parents and family is limited, most of the children of the Ling family will practice some auxiliary skills to earn resources.

Among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, elixirs, talismans, weapons and arrays are the most preferred. In addition, the breeding of spiritual pets, the refining of Taoist soldiers and puppets, the cultivation of spiritual rice and tea, and the refining and processing of certain rare spiritual minerals are all development directions that are easier for low-level cultivators to choose.

However, the lifespan of a cultivator in the Qi training stage is limited, and after the age of sixty, the vitality of the body begins to decline, making it extremely difficult to reach the foundation-building stage.

Therefore, it is not a good thing for monks to spend too much energy and time on these auxiliary arts.

Especially if one wants to achieve success in an art, the resources and time invested in the early stages are definitely not a small amount, and ordinary practitioners simply cannot afford it.

Of course, if you really have talent and have learned something, then earning spirit stone resources will become quite easy.

"...I don't lack spirit stones now, and I have plenty of time. Do you want to consider learning something?"

Ling Changqing wandered aimlessly in the crowd, avoiding several pairs of monks who were bargaining, and this thought naturally emerged in his mind.

If you just want to learn these, you need a master who is competent enough and willing to guide and support you. It won’t work if you just rely on exploring on your own.

"...Young man, would you like to come and take a look at the talisman? You won't be disappointed with its quality."

A youthful and bright voice sounded in Ling Changqing's ears.

He turned his head and saw that at a stall a few steps away, a tall and plump female cultivator in a pink dress was calling out with a smile.

The stall in front of her was mainly filled with various first-level, mid-to-low-quality talismans. In addition, there were more than ten exquisite wine jugs, which seemed to be filled with spiritual wine.

Ling Changqing walked over silently, picked up a Jia Ma Talisman, looked at it for a few breaths, and nodded slightly.

The price of talismans is very reasonable, slightly lower than the market price, and the quality is above the acceptable level.

"Young man, you often go out to sea, why not take a look at this, it will be very useful to you!"

The female cultivator handed over a stack of talismans that were glowing with spiritual light. Among them were water escape talismans, mysterious ice shield talismans, water-repellent talismans, and other types, and they were all top-quality.

"You recognize me?"

Ling Changqing looked at the other person in surprise. This female cultivator had fair skin, picturesque features, and was as beautiful as a peach or plum. Her big black eyes stared at him with a smile. She herself had reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi training.

The gorgeous pink dress was glowing with a faint aura and emitting a faint fluctuation of magical power. It was obviously a magical weapon of extraordinary grade.

Besides, she was accompanied by two maids of outstanding appearance, both of whom were at the first level of Qi training. A charming woman, at the fourth level of Qi training, and several guards were standing not far away.

To be able to have such a grand ceremony, one can imagine that her status and position is definitely not lower than that of Ling Xueyu.

"Young man, you are a rising star among the direct descendants of the family. Who wouldn't know you?"

The beautiful lady smiled and said, "My name is Ling Bingyun, and my ancestor is Elder Tianhe. I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to visit my cave?"

Ling Tianhe, another foundation-building cultivator from the Ling family.

Ling Changqing sighed. Ling Xueyu failed to get what she wanted, and now Ling Bingyun came over. Is he so popular?
"I want all these talismans!"

As Ling Changqing spoke, he picked out more than thirty types of talismans that he could use, then took out spirit stones to pay.

"Sir, these talismans are the masterpieces of our eldest daughter."

The woman next to Ling Bingyun smiled and said, "If you need any talismans in the future, you can come to buy them from Miss. Discounts and other things are easy to negotiate!"

"And this spiritual wine was also brewed by the eldest lady herself. It tastes pretty good."

Ling Changqing smiled and said, "Miss Bingyun is indeed multi-talented. I'll buy some and try them out."

As he spoke, he picked up four pots of spirit wine from the stall.

"Brother, you like to drink wine. Actually, there are better ones in my cave. Do you want to taste them?"

Ling Bingyun tilted her head slightly and looked at the beautiful young man in purple in front of her with her eyes full of love. From all aspects, this man's conditions were impeccable.

In particular, he has a certain indescribable temperament that makes people involuntarily like him and want to get close to him.

Ling Bingyun didn't know whether this was the influence of fate, but she really liked this young man now.

"If I go, I won't be able to come out safely, right?"

Ling Changqing laughed and said, "Even now, I guess I can't even count the number of family members who are jealous of me? Miss, do you really want to roast me on the fire?"

Ling Bingyun narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly: "If you don't attract jealousy, you are a mediocre person. With your character, how could you take such a small matter to heart?"

"Come with me? Sister, I feel like we are very compatible. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could drink wine and discuss philosophy together in the future?"

Ling Changqing: “…”
