Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 36 Tang Qiuyao: Could it be that you have some improper thoughts about your senior sister?
Seeing Ling Changqing politely declined, Tang Qiuyao did not insist.

Before long, the six Qingyuan Yunlu Pills were bought by different family members one after another.

Next came a set of swords, a total of three flying swords, as well as a set of women's Taoist robes and two spirit boats, all of which were top-grade magic weapons.

Ling Changqing thought about it and realized that after dealing with that group of robbery cultivators last time, he also obtained several good magic weapons, so he didn't need to spend spirit stones on this anymore.

"...Sir, this is a gift from my eldest daughter. Please don't refuse it!"

A maid in white with bright eyes and white teeth walked to Ling Changqing's seat holding an exquisite jade box, bowed slightly, and spoke softly.

Ling Changqing took a look and found that she was the maid beside Ling Bingyun. As for the gift in the jade box, it was one of the six Qingyuan Yunlu Pills.

When Ling Bingyun took a photo of a Qingyuan Yunlu Pill, Ling Changqing was a little surprised. After all, she no longer had any use for the pill and she never thought it was prepared for him.

"This one……"

Ling Changqing couldn't help but look at Tang Qiuyao. This gift was really hot.

The stunningly beautiful woman smiled and said, "It's okay to accept it. You can just give her a similar gift in return afterwards."

Ling Changqing nodded, took the jade box from the maid, and said softly: "Thank your eldest lady for me."

The maid breathed a sigh of relief. Ling Changqing accepted the gift, and she could report back.

By the way, if the eldest lady really gets married to this incredibly handsome young man, then I can also serve him as a maid, right?
With a slight blush on her fair cheeks, the maid stared at Ling Changqing for a moment before she bowed and left.

Ling Changqing looked at the jade box in his hand, thought for a moment, and put it into his storage bag.

Next time I go out to sea, I will find two rare treasures of similar value and bring them back as gifts for this young lady. We won't owe each other anything.

"...This shameless bitch!"

Ling Xueyu, who was sitting on one side of the stands, had a cold expression on her face. She had naturally seen Ling Bingyun's actions. While she was angry, she also secretly regretted why she hadn't taken action just now.

On the other side, Ling Bingyun smiled more after listening to the maid's report. As long as Ling Changqing was willing to accept her gift, there should still be hope.

On the high platform, several top-grade magic weapons were quickly assigned to their respective owners. Then came the elixirs, six of which were the Bi Ning Dan, a special pill for those who wanted to break through to the later stages of Qi training.

Now, not only the new generation of young people, but even some deacons and elders have joined the bidding, and the scene is quite lively.

After all, most cultivators have limited talents and abilities, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to break through the third level of the late Qi training stage. This kind of elixir is naturally an irresistible temptation.

"Do you want it? I can give it to you!"

Tang Qiuyao touched Ling Changqing's hand and asked with a smile.

Ling Changqing still shook his head: "I can't use it at the moment. When I reach the seventh level of Qi training, it won't be too late for Senior Sister to give it to me."

Tang Qiuyao rolled her eyes at him coquettishly and didn't insist.

Not long after, the six Bi Ning Dan were also sold out by everyone.

"Sister, this kind of family auction should be held every year, right?"

Ling Changqing asked quietly.

"Well, normally there are two times a year,"

Tang Qiuyao responded: "If the patriarch refines some high-quality elixirs, there may be a temporary auction, for example..."

She didn't continue talking, but Ling Changqing already understood. He was afraid that in addition to the Qi training stage's breakthrough elixir, the most precious foundation-building elixir was also among them?

Of course, this thing is too difficult to refine, and the raw materials are hard to gather, so Ling Qiyue may not have any in stock.

Apart from this, the output of other elixirs is relatively large. This shows that the average cultivation level of the Ling family's children is obviously higher than that of the surrounding foundation-building families.

This is the benefit of having a high-level alchemist in charge of the family. He can obtain many medicinal resources at relatively fair and reasonable prices, thereby allowing the cultivation level of the family members to be improved rapidly.

"Senior Sister, you should... be about to build your foundation, right?"

Ling Changqing looked at the enchanting figure of the stunningly beautiful woman. She was already at the ninth level of Qi training, and her talent and potential had not yet been exhausted. She was not too old either, so there was great hope for her to make further progress.

Tang Qiuyao did not avoid the topic: "It will take a few years. After all, it has not been long since I was promoted to the ninth level of Qi training. I have to wait until the accumulation is complete before I can try to impact the foundation building realm."

Ling Changqing seemed to be thinking about something. Since this person is the confidant of the family head, he must have no shortage of foundation-building pills. So in a few years, will the Ling family have another foundation-building cultivator?

I wonder how the hostile families around me will react after learning about this? They must be unable to sleep or eat. The auction continued, and several spirit pets, a set of top-grade battle flags, and a batch of exquisite talismans appeared one after another.

Ling Changqing made several moves and obtained thirty fine talismans and sixty Xuanyin Blood Yuan Pills.

This pill was made by Ling Qiyue herself. Its quality is no less than the pills made by the independent alchemist Meng Ye. It's a pity that the quantity is a little less.

Next appeared ten Rejuvenating Pills, each of which had a starting price no less than that of the Bi Ning Pill, but that still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the female cultivators.

Ling Changqing also took a shot and bought one. Although this kind of pill cannot increase one's cultivation level, it can delay aging and allow female cultivators to maintain a youthful and beautiful appearance and figure, so it is extremely popular in the market.

"Senior Sister, this is for you!"

After getting the pill, Ling Changqing handed it to Tang Qiuyao.

Tang Qiuyao blushed slightly, and said with a half-smile, "You actually gave me such an expensive gift. Could it be that you have some improper thoughts about me, Senior Sister?"

Ling Changqing nodded calmly: "Yes, I do think so."

"???"

Tang Qiuyao was stunned for a moment. This kid really is... just going to stop pretending, right?
"You are such a daring bastard, wait until you can beat me in the future!"

Tang Qiuyao snorted softly, turned her head away and stopped looking at him. She carefully put the anti-aging pill into her storage bag.

Ling Changqing smiled and continued to watch the bidding on the stage.

After a moment, the elder presiding over the auction announced loudly:

"Next are the five longevity pills offered at this auction. Each pill can extend life by five years. Clan members who are interested in bidding can get ready!"

All of a sudden, all the elderly members of the Ling family became excited. After all, for them who were approaching the end of their lifespan, no resources were as important as the Tiannian Longevity Pill.

"Sister,"

Ling Changqing touched Tang Qiuyao's smooth and tender hands and asked quietly, "The head of the family should be able to refine a life-extending elixir suitable for foundation-building cultivators, right?"

Tang Qiuyao did not hide it: "The master has a ready-made recipe, but I have nowhere to find the ingredients!"

"Pity."

Ling Changqing felt a little disappointed. The Tiannian Longevity Pill was only suitable for cultivators in the Qi training stage, and it was only effective when taken for the first time.

The life-extending elixir that can be used for foundation-building is naturally extraordinary, and its value is no less than that of the foundation-building elixir.

"There is no need to feel regretful. If we can find suitable rare materials in the deep sea in the future, this problem can still be solved."

Tang Qiuyao smiled and said that although Ling Tianque and Ling Tianhe, the two foundation-building masters, had some of their own little thoughts, they generally put the interests of the family first and would not betray others.

So if conditions permit, Ling Qiyue doesn't mind letting them live a few more years. After all, the family still needs their strength.

Fierce bidding sounds rang out in the field. In order to grab a pill, these old guys almost took out all their savings!
It didn't take long before the five Tiannian Longevity Pills all had their own owners.

Those who got the prize were naturally smiling with joy, while those who didn’t were sighing and gritting their teeth.

Fortunately, the master of the family often opens the furnace to refine elixirs, so there will still be such life-extending elixirs in the future. I just need to keep working hard next time.

Next came a few nice magical weapons and Taoist soldier puppets, until the last item, which instantly changed Ling Changqing's expression.

That was a genuine foundation-building pill.

"… Was it made by the Patriarch himself?"

Ling Changqing looked at Tang Qiuyao's expression and asked tentatively.

Tang Qiuyao nodded gently: "Yes, that's it!"

Ling Changqing was silent. The birth of a new foundation-building master would inevitably directly change the power comparison between the Ling family and the surrounding families.

It is obvious how the situation will evolve and develop next.

Moreover, the materials used to refine a furnace of Foundation-Building Pills may result in more than one pill being produced.

With Ling Qiyue's attainments in alchemy, it might be possible for her to obtain two or even three foundation-building pills.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a natural result for the Ling family to swallow up their arch-rival the Wu family and integrate the surrounding forces in a few years, right?
