Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 49: Hanyuezhou Market

Ling Qiyue has always been decisive in her actions. After learning that Ling Changqing had been released from confinement, she immediately made corresponding arrangements.

There are three foundation-building monks in charge of Chanxin Island, and the Wu family does not dare to turn against them for the time being. The short absence of her as the head of the family will not have a big impact.

Late that night, Ling Qiyue set off with Tang Qiuyao and Ling Changqing. The three of them quietly left Zen Heart Island using a second-level teleportation talisman, and did not release the flying boat until they were far enough away.

"...Hanyuezhou Market is far enough away from this sea area that even a Jindan master cannot reach it. That is why small families like us can always maintain our independence and avoid being swallowed up by Hanyue Sect."

"However, there are rumors that the third Jindan master in Hanyue Sect is about to be born. I don't know whether it is true or not."

In the cabin inside the flying boat, Tang Qiuyao softly told Ling Changqing the history of Hanyue Island.

In the past, Hanyuezhou and its many surrounding islands were also a loose mess. It was not until thousands of years ago that they were unified and came under the rule of Qingyang Sect.

Later, Hanyue Continent changed several generations of rulers until the Hanyue Sect came to power more than 1,200 years ago. The inheritance has continued to this day, and the Jindan powerful masters in charge have changed several times.

Ling Changqing pondered: "Can the blessed land of Hanyue Continent's spiritual veins support more Jindan cultivators?"

Although Hanyue Continent has a radius of more than 100,000 miles and has many complete third-level spiritual veins, the spiritual energy resources required by a Jindan cultivator are not at the same level as those of a foundation-building cultivator.

Ling Qiyue said: "That's not a problem. When Hanyuezhou was at its peak, there were six Jindan cultivators in charge, and more than twenty Jiadan cultivators."

In the Hanyue Sect today, the number of Jindan and Jiadan cultivators is far less than in the past, so they can naturally afford it.

Tang Qiuyao sighed slightly: "It's a pity that the Feiyu Sea where our Chanxin Island is located is actually larger than the Hanyue Sect, but it has never been able to give birth to a sufficiently powerful force."

For nearly ten thousand years, the Feiyu Sea has been in a state of disunity, with many small families and small forces standing side by side, fighting each other endlessly, and Chanxin Island is just one of them.

Ling Changqing frowned and asked, "Has it been possible that this sea area has never produced a cultivator at the Jindan level?"

"It existed before, but it died unexpectedly not long after."

Ling Qiyue said: "The most powerful forces in this sea area currently have fake Dan Zhenren in charge, but they are restrained by each other and cannot expand outward on a large scale."

She raised her hand slightly, and a golden gourd magic weapon on the table was activated. A ray of clear light spewed out from the mouth of the gourd, slowly unfolding in the air, forming a magic power projection light mirror.

The map in the light mirror is centered on Zen Heart Island and extends in all directions. There are thousands of islands of various sizes and shapes scattered all over the place, and Zen Heart Island is inconspicuous among them.

Then Ling Qiyue pinched the spiritual spell again and released the map of Hanyue Island and its surrounding areas. Comparing the two, it can be seen that the area of ​​Feiyu Sea is indeed much larger.

Ling Changqing couldn't help but shake his head. It looked like in order to control the vast Feiyu Sea, it would require a Nascent Soul cultivator to do it.

Although the Feiyu Sea produces abundant resources, there is no formed fourth-order spiritual vein, so the Nascent Soul cultivators do not look down on it, making it a marginal area that no one cares about.

Ling Changqing no longer dwelled on this far-fetched question and asked:
"Our Ling family's enemies should be more than just the Wu family, right? Are there other forces around us?"

Tang Qiuyao said, "Of course there are. The Youye Islands, nine thousand miles away from Chanxin Island, are the territory of the Mu family. They are a large family with twelve foundation-building cultivators in charge."

"Are there any fake pill cultivators?" "Not yet. It is said that the oldest foundation-building elder has already reached the threshold of the fake pill realm, but it is impossible to verify whether it is true or not."

Ling Qiyue explained that any family leader who is ambitious would pay close attention to the surrounding forces, and this kind of information would naturally be collected.

The Mu family's infiltration and suppression of small forces in the surrounding areas, and even forced annexation, has lasted for hundreds of years, and four or five small forces have been wiped out by it.

Naturally, all of their territories and assets were returned to the Mu family, allowing them to cultivate more elite family forces and have the capital for further external expansion.

For the Ling family, the Wu family is an immediate worry, and the Mu family is a long-term concern, both of which are powerful enemies that they will have to face sooner or later.

Ling Changqing took a look at this cold, charming, elegant and generous senior sister, and thought to himself that her actual cultivation level...could it be that she has also reached the threshold of fake elixir?
Of course he didn't say this out loud. Every monk has his own secrets, and if one asks rashly, it will inevitably cause embarrassment to both parties.

The spiritual weapon-level flying boat was extremely fast. Traveling at full speed, it arrived at the outer airspace of Hanyuezhou City after twelve days.

Looking out through the porthole, you can occasionally see colorful lights passing across the sky at high speed, as well as flying magical instruments of various styles.

Here, the aura of foundation-building cultivators is not too rare. Occasionally, one can also spot cultivators in the middle to late stages of foundation-building, or even at the peak of foundation-building.

"Little Junior Brother, put this on."

Ling Qiyue took out a gray cloak with a hood from the storage bag and handed it to Ling Changqing.

He took it and looked at it. It was a high-grade magic weapon with an ordinary and low-key appearance. Its main purpose was to conceal the aura of the monks, and it also had strong defensive power.

Ling Changqing nodded and put it on swiftly. There was a faint fragrance in the cloak, which was obviously worn by Ling Qiyue herself.

The flying boat entered the air above the land unimpeded. Not far from the coastline was a large city with numerous affiliated towns and villages, as well as spiritual fields, medicinal mountains, pastures, lakes, etc., stretching for hundreds of miles.

When they arrived near the huge city, Tang Qiuyao put away her flying boat like other foreign cultivators, and the two women took Ling Changqing to the city gate which was shining with spiritual light and protected by a large formation.

Once you arrive at this place, it is already the patrol area of ​​the Hanyue Sect monks. No outside monks are allowed to cause trouble here, and private fighting and killing are not allowed.

Anyone who dares to break the law will be severely punished, and may even be captured by the Jindan masters of the Hanyue Sect and demoted to a slave. From then on, they can only work like slaves for the Hanyue Sect and will never be free for the rest of their lives.

At the magnificent and majestic city gate, there are monks from the Hanyue Sect on duty. All monks entering the city must walk and pay a fee of five spirit sands before they are allowed to enter.

The cost seems not high, but due to the large number of monks entering the city, accumulated over a year, it is also a considerable income for Hanyue Sect.

Tang Qiuyao paid the fees for three people according to the rules. The monk from Hanyue Sect on duty did not pay much attention to them. He just glanced at them and waved his hand to let them go.

Ling Changqing swept his calm gaze around. These cultivators on duty were only in the early or middle stages of Qi training, but because they represented the face of Hanyue Sect, no one dared to be rude to them.

After entering the city, Tang Qiuyao hired another carriage, and the three of them got in and headed for the largest medicine store in the city.
