Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 48 The Final Glory
Zen Island.

In the boudoir embroidery building, Ling Qiyue sorted out the various resources at hand, and after counting the quantities, she put them back into the storage bag.

This time the harvest was much richer than last time, especially the seven Soul-Devouring Blood Fruits, which meant there was hope of refining new Foundation-Building Pills.

As for the rest of the harvest, in addition to keeping a portion for personal use, you can also sell part of it at the Hanyuezhou Market in exchange for the development resources needed by the family.

As the pearl curtain rolled up, Tang Qiuyao, with a plump and graceful figure and eyes like spring water, walked in.

"Has everything been arranged with Junior Brother?"

Ling Qiyue raised her head and asked.

Tang Qiuyao nodded: "I have prepared all the medicinal resources for him. He is now continuing his retreat. I estimate that he will not be able to finish it in three to five months."

Just like last time, after returning, Ling Changqing obtained two hundred Xuanyin Blood Yuan Pills, various auxiliary pill resources, and five thousand family merit points.

For Ling Changqing, this is much more cost-effective than following Ling Zifeng to work in the sea. As long as he does it once, he can obtain enough cultivation resources to use for a long time.

The only unpleasant thing is that it causes a great loss to one's own luck and fortune. Fortunately, as long as one practices in seclusion for a period of time, one can slowly recover.

And this kind of thing can't happen too often, once a year is enough for now. When I become a foundation-building cultivator in the future, maybe I can do it more often?

Ling Qiyue frowned and said, "Although Junior Brother is in seclusion, we can't rest yet. We have to deal with these things quickly."

Resources are hard to come by. Now that we have them, we must transform them into strength as quickly as possible.

Tang Qiuyao pondered and said, "This is not a big problem. We can go to Hanyuezhou Market first, get rid of the resources that can be sold as soon as possible, and then buy things that we can use and bring them back."

For example, the auxiliary resources that go with the Soul-Devouring Blood Soul Fruit must be purchased before one can start refining new Foundation-Building Pills.

Ling Qiyue nodded slightly, her voice slightly cold: "According to the information from the insider, two foundation-building cultivators from the Wu family took a group of people and secretly set off for the Hanyuezhou market."

"Are you looking for a second-level alchemist to refine the foundation-building pill?"

Tang Qiuyao reacted instantly and her expression became more serious.

The Wu family has planted secret spies in the Ling family, and the Ling family's intelligence capabilities are also not bad, and they can detect any unusual movements over there in a timely manner.

"That's probably the case."

Ling Qiyue frowned slightly. It was definitely too late to stop the Wu family's actions this time. The other party had probably already arrived at Hanyuezhou Market by now.

So if nothing goes wrong, the Wu family should be able to get at least one Foundation Establishment Pill this time, and if they are lucky, they might get two?

Furthermore, in order to avoid uncertainties, the Wu family would most likely choose to rent the Hanyue Sect's second-tier spiritual vein cave residence, allowing their own Qi training elders to retreat there and break through before returning.

Therefore, it won’t be long before the Wu family will have one or two more foundation-building cultivators, and the pressure faced by the Ling family will still be great.

"Fortunately, we have this trump card of our junior brother, otherwise it would be really difficult!"

Tang Qiuyao was filled with emotion. With so many resources brought back from the bottom of the sea, as long as they were converted into cash in time, the Ling family's strength would also increase, and they would no longer be afraid of the pressure from the Wu family.

Ling Qiyue had no objection to this: "The Wu family's glory is only temporary. No matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to gather the materials for the second foundation-building pill in the next ten years."

The two women smiled at each other. Even if the Wu family suddenly had two or three more foundation-building people, what would it matter? In the short term, they still didn't dare to tear each other apart and start a war.

And this is the last chance for the Wu family to increase their strength. From now on, they can only watch as the foundation-building cultivators of the Ling family emerge one after another and completely trample them down.

"Let's refine all the pills we can first, distribute some of them, and then we can go to Hanyuezhou Market after Junior Brother comes out of seclusion, right?"

Ling Qiyue suggested that the distribution within the family would definitely not be free, and it would have to be exchanged for spirit stones and family merits. The only difference was that the price would be more favorable than purchasing from outside.

Tang Qiuyao hesitated: "Junior brother, your cultivation is still a little low. If you follow us to Hanyuezhou Market, will there be any risks?"

She understood Ling Qiyue's intention, which was to use Ling Changqing's luck and fortune to reduce the probability of accidents, but Hanyuezhou Market was after all the sphere of influence of Hanyue Sect.

There are countless foreign cultivators there, and they are a mixed bag. God knows if there is any secret technique that can inadvertently reveal the extraordinaryness of Ling Changqing?

At that time, Ling Qiyue alone would not be able to stop the outside world from coveting Ling Changqing.

Ling Qiyue didn't care about it: "Let's talk about it when the time comes. Don't worry, I will arrange it."

"Ok."

Thinking of some of the hidden tricks of this senior sister, Tang Qiuyao no longer had any objections.

The next few months were spent in peace.

Ling Qiyue handled family affairs step by step, starting the furnace to refine elixirs and distributing freshly-made elixir resources, just as usual.

By the fourth month, news finally came from the Wu family that the Wu family cultivators who had gone to the Hanyuezhou market had returned, and there was a new foundation-building cultivator in the team.

The Ling family's top leaders, who had been mentally prepared, reacted calmly. After all, this was just a return to the previous balance of power.

Since there is no guarantee of swallowing up the other party's inheritance in one gulp, the two families will have to live their lives as usual in the future.

The top leaders of the Wu family were very excited. They invited many friends and relatives and held a grand banquet to celebrate the fact that the family had a new foundation-building master in charge and their increasingly prosperous family business.

Not long after, the information from the insider let Ling Qiyue know the details.

The level of the second-rank independent alchemist found by the Wu family was mediocre. He managed to refine two foundation-building pills, but one of them was inferior, with less than 20% chance of success.

Therefore, of the two Wu family elders who were in seclusion, only one succeeded in the end. Wu Canglang had already mobilized all the connections in the family and started collecting materials for the second foundation-building pill, but this would not be achieved overnight.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last foundation-building cultivator that the Wu family can produce, and the last glory! In another twenty or thirty years at most, the Wu family will become history!"

Tang Qiuyao commented on this.

……

In the training room.

Ling Changqing sat upright on the cloud bed, his whole body shrouded in dark spiritual light, and the rich aura of Xuanyin water essence filled the space.

After a long time, he finally woke up slowly from his deep state of enlightenment.

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: 17】

[Cultivation: Qi Training Level 6]

【Luck:33+122】

【Fortune: 31+100】

【Physique:20】

【Root bone: 19】

【Comprehension: 20】

[Soul: 44]

[Dan Dao: 2130/5000 (First-level lower grade)]

[Main cultivation technique: Xuanzhen Black Water Sutra (second level) 5390\10000]

[Spiritual roots: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, average character 6578/10000]

[Noble: Ling Zifeng, Tang Qiuyao, Ling Qiyue]

"...My luck and fortune have been restored, and even improved compared to before. I can continue to work in the sea in the future."

"…My cultivation has indeed improved, but I am still a long way from the seventh level of Qi training. I am afraid it is unlikely that I can advance quickly by retreating once or twice like before."

Ling Changqing thought to himself that the difficulty of advancing to the later stage of Qi training had obviously increased a lot.

However, for long-term considerations, it is not suitable to use too many elixirs that can break through the levels, so as to avoid the hidden danger of unstable foundation.

The direct descendants of some great figures, because they have poor spiritual roots and are unwilling to endure hardships, can also reach the foundation-building stage by relying on a large amount of resources.

But this is the limit of their achievement. If they want to continue to force their way to the Golden Core realm, the difficulty will increase sharply. It is not that all problems can be solved by having enough resources.

Therefore, Ling Changqing was not in a hurry. He was not even twenty years old yet and had enough time to grow calmly and lay a perfect foundation for the Tao. There was no need to be so eager for quick success.

After a moment, Ling Changqing got up from the bed, closed the magic circle restrictions one by one, then opened the door and walked out of the training room.

"...Sir, you're out?"

The two maids guarding outside looked delighted. Under Tang Qiuyao's instructions, they took turns guarding outside during this period of time.

Ling Changqing nodded and asked gently, "What is Senior Sister doing now?"

"I've been back for a while, and I guess I'll be going out again soon. You can go and meet me, sir."

A maid said.

Ling Changqing then left his own courtyard and came to the flower hall in the inner courtyard where Tang Qiuyao was. As expected, he saw this stunningly beautiful woman with a plump and graceful figure and skin as white as snow.

At this time, a sumptuous feast was laid out in front of her, with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and she was tasting it alone.

"You came at the right time,"

Seeing the familiar figure of the beautiful young man in purple, Tang Qiuyao put down her chopsticks and said with a smile: "Come over and have some."

Ling Changqing agreed and sat down on the chair brought by the maid.

Tang Qiuyao waved her hand, and all the maids present bowed and retreated.

"Eat now. After we're full, we'll go meet your Senior Sister Ling. I guess we'll be leaving soon!"

After opening a layer of shielding ban, Tang Qiuyao whispered to him.

Ling Changqing looked a little more serious: "Where are you going?"

"Hanyuezhou Market."

"..."
