Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 39 Tang Qiuyao: Junior brother, you can’t do it so soon?

The flying boat covered in rosy clouds flew across the sky at high speed and soon arrived above the vast ocean.

“…This is it, let’s go down!”

Ling Qiyue said.

The location she chose was quite far away from Ling Zifeng's fleet, but the advantage was that she could avoid those independent pearl divers.

Tang Qiuyao agreed and controlled the flying boat to gradually lower its altitude.

The sea was calm at this time, and looking down from the sky, the dark blue sea water was like a huge mirror.

With the wide view, numerous islands of various shapes and sizes are clearly visible in the distance, and occasionally large birds of prey fly across the sky at high speed.

Seeing that there were no wandering cultivators or other suspicious creatures passing by, Tang Qiuyao landed the flying boat to a height less than three meters above the sea level.

Then Tang Qiuyao also changed into a tight-fitting warrior uniform as black as ink, folded the flying boat, and dived into the water with Ling Qiyue and Ling Changqing.

The process of entering the water was very smooth. A glazed yellow umbrella inlaid with silk and gold appeared above Ling Qiyue's head. Three layers of light golden light curtains inside and outside gradually covered the three people, pushing away the sea water and protecting them.

This is Ling Qiyue's top-grade spiritual weapon, and its defensive power is much stronger than those first- and second-level talismans.

The magic tools in this world are divided into four grades, namely top grade, upper, middle and lower grades, corresponding to the cultivators in the Qi training stage.

Above the magic weapons are the spiritual weapons, which are also divided into four grades. They are corresponding to cultivators in the foundation-building period. They are more powerful and the difficulty of refining is naturally more exaggerated.

Fifty feet, one hundred feet, one hundred and fifty feet...

The two women sandwiched Ling Changqing, one on the left and one on the right, each holding one of his arms, and a faint fragrance came over him.

As the diving depth increased, the sea water pressure also increased rapidly, but the light curtain outside the glazed yellow umbrella was still very stable, only slightly shrinking by a few points.

"...Senior Sister, how deep do we have to go?"

Ling Changqing couldn't help but ask.

The underwater environment is now quite unfamiliar to him. There are many strange and bizarre underwater creatures that he has never seen before.

"At least three hundred feet,"

Tang Qiuyao smiled and said, "Let's try it first and see the effect. If it proves that this method is indeed feasible, we can go a little deeper next time!"

Ling Changqing nodded thoughtfully. The deeper the seabed, the fewer cultivators had ever set foot there, and presumably the more rare and unowned resources there were.

It didn't take long for the depth of three hundred feet to be reached as expected, and the light curtain emitted by the glazed yellow umbrella remained stable.

Due to the clear sea water and the presence of many luminous creatures on the seabed, Ling Changqing's vision did not seem dark, and it was not difficult to see the migrating fish schools hundreds of feet away.

The surface of the huge rocks on the seabed is full of holes in various shapes, thorny sea urchins, glowing crabs, slow-moving sea turtles, and colorful snake-scale moss can be seen everywhere.

“…Okay, let’s stop here for now!”

Ling Qiyue, who had dark eyebrows and a cold and charming appearance, pursed her cherry lips and whispered softly in Ling Changqing's ear:

"As for what to do next, Junior Brother, just use your own spiritual perception to decide."

"Ok."

Ling Changqing agreed, recalled the many types of resources recorded in the jade slip in his mind, and began to search intently.

Tang Qiuyao was quite excited. Compared with the previous times she went into the sea, the sense of danger seemed to have weakened a lot. She didn't know if it was a coincidence or because of the purple-clothed young man beside her.

Perhaps, I won't return empty-handed today?

Ling Changqing observed his surroundings calmly and found a target of interest in a moment.

More than two hundred feet away, across piles of rugged rocks, large areas of seaweed slowly undulated along the undercurrent, and tiny dots of light flickered in the depths of the seaweed.

At the end of the grassland, there are thousands of silver ganoderma flowers, shining with a faint white glow.

"That's it."

Ling Changqing spoke softly, and he did not sense any dangerous aura lurking around, so it was obvious that the place was safe for the time being.

Ling Qiyue carefully explored the surrounding waters. Two ferocious blood-wing sharks swam slowly by not far away, and showed no interest in the three people who appeared rashly.

"Sister, please go over there. There shouldn't be any problem."

Tang Qiuyao whispered that she had more opportunities to spend time with Ling Changqing, so she was more confident in his judgment.

Ling Qiyue thought about it and finally nodded in agreement, so the three of them carefully moved towards that side.

Dozens of feet away, a blood anaconda as thick as a bucket and with colorful patterns swam slowly by, stirring up strong undercurrents.

Tang Qiuyao had already picked up her sword, concentrating on being alert for possible emergencies, and also had several handy magical weapons ready to use.

Being surrounded by many dangerous creatures in the sea, they could be targeted by them at any time. It would be a lie to say that they were not nervous. After making a big circle and carefully avoiding many scary passers-by along the way, the three finally arrived at their destination safely.

Ling Qiyue was about to take action, but was stopped by Tang Qiuyao. She explained in a low voice:

"Let Junior Brother come. He has better luck and fortune, and should be able to avoid accidents as much as possible."

"Alright."

Ling Qiyue pondered for a moment and did not object.

So the two women were responsible for guarding, while Ling Changqing picked the flowers calmly and then put them into the storage bag one by one.

"Great! With these goodies back home and the auxiliary materials, I can refine several furnaces of marrow-condensing pills!"

Tang Qiuyao couldn't help but say happily that even if she couldn't find anything else, today's trip was worth it.

There were some powerful sea fish and sea beasts passing by during this period, but they all turned a blind eye to the three people who had rashly intruded.

However, in less than half an hour, all the silver ganoderma flowers were collected into Ling Changqing's storage bag.

Ling Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief: "This is incredibly smooth. Junior brother, keep looking. Are there any other good things?"

Ling Changqing agreed and continued to observe the surrounding seabed.

Dozens of feet away, a hill-sized Kuilang jellyfish was waving its long tentacles and happily hunting its prey.

A passing Jade-Horned Whale was unable to dodge and was entangled by its tentacles, unable to escape. The two sides were deadlocked for several rounds. This third-level sea beast was already dying, with many deep wounds on its body that could be seen to the bone.

The pungent smell of blood easily attracted many strange creatures to watch, ready to take advantage of the situation.

Ling Changqing ignored this cruel and bloody hunting scene. Within an incense stick of time, he found a new suitable target.

It was a stone covered with large patches of snake-scale moss, ranging in size from a few feet to several meters, with a faint fluorescence emanating from the inside.

"Is it the Rock Heart Phantom Vine?"

Ling Qiyue looked surprised, and her clear and soft voice was filled with joy.

"It shouldn't be wrong."

Ling Changqing said that the Rock Core Fantasy Vine is one of the main raw materials for refining the second-level anti-aging pill, so the price on the market will naturally not be low.

Ling Qiyue and the other girl then brought Ling Changqing and approached cautiously. A lightning eel over three meters long came over with bad intentions, as if it wanted to see if it could take advantage of it.

"Looking for death!"

Ling Qiyue snorted coldly and waved her jade hand lightly. A cold and sharp sword light flashed, and the second-level monster had no time to react. In the blink of an eye, its head and body were separated.

Tang Qiuyao immediately sealed the big guy with the Mysterious Ice Spell and put it into the storage bag. Its meat is also famous for its freshness and tenderness, and it will be enough to eat for a long time if you take it back.

When he got close, Ling Changqing raised his sword, aimed at the right position and slashed down with the sword.

With a "crack" sound, a crack was cut in the hard rock by the top-grade magic weapon, and a brighter fluorescence seeped out from the crack.

Ling Changqing chopped a few more times and finally broke the rock into pieces, revealing a snow-white vine that emitted a soft fluorescent light.

This is the Rock Core Fantasy Vine, which usually grows in the rocks on the seabed at a depth of three to five hundred feet. It is a rare treasure that only cultivators who have reached the foundation building stage or above can get by going into the sea.

It was Ling Changqing who took action again. He put the Rock Core Fantasy Vine into the storage bag and then turned to the next rock.

By the time the third piece of rock was cut open, Ling Changqing felt a wave of weakness coming over him, and the spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted.

"Junior brother, it's too soon?"

Tang Qiuyao teased with some amusement.

Ling Changqing was quite speechless. He was only at the fifth level of Qi training. How could he compare with you two in terms of endurance?

"Take it, it's all yours!"

Ling Qiyue smiled, took out a bottle of Huiling Pill from her storage bag and handed it to him.

Ling Changqing took it, unscrewed the cork, poured out a pill and swallowed it. The warm breath rushed into his internal organs and meridians, causing his spiritual power to recover rapidly.

There were still dozens of Huiling Pills in the pill bottle, and naturally they all belonged to him.

Continuing to collect, half an hour later, there were nearly a hundred Rock Core Fantasy Vines in Ling Changqing's storage bag.

"This trip is really a win-win. It's great to have you, my junior brother!"

Tang Qiuyao hugged Ling Changqing and said with a smile that the second-level anti-aging pill was not a common product and the market price remained high. After all, the target consumers were the foundation-building cultivators.

As long as she could refine a batch of successful pills, Ling Qiyue would not only gain a large amount of spirit stone resources, but her own attainments in alchemy would also be slightly improved.
