Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 54: Dark Spirit World
Ling Qiyue talked with Fu Yinxue for two hours.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the beautiful lady in green generously treated us to a lunch, which included the best second-level spiritual rice, various second-level monster meats, and plenty of spiritual wine.

Ling Changqing didn't say much. After sitting down, he ate to his heart's content.

The benefits of this kind of delicious food full of spiritual energy to one's own cultivation are self-evident, so one naturally cannot waste the opportunity.

"Eat slowly, little one,"

Fu Yinxue smiled at the purple-clad handsome boy sitting opposite her and said, "You can eat as much as you want. As long as you are willing to come, there will always be a place for you here."

She didn't have any special thoughts in mind, she just simply wanted to make a good relationship. This little guy's future achievements might not only be limited to foundation building, but he might also reach the golden elixir realm.

"Well, if there is a chance in the future, I will follow Senior Sister Ling."

Ling Changqing said calmly.

Ling Qiyue looked at Fu Yinxue meaningfully. This senior sister... could it be that she also has some ideas?

"It seems that I can't take this guy out casually next time..."

Ling Qiyue thought to herself, to be honest, if she didn't need to rely on Ling Changqing's luck and fortune, she would not have made such a mistake.

In fact, in the mortal world, there are various divination, face-reading, and qi-observing secret techniques circulating, and there is no shortage of masters who are proficient in these arts.

There are many examples of powerful figures identifying potential talents in advance and assisting them in rising up and building their imperial foundation.

The magical powers and secret techniques in the world of immortal cultivation will only become more powerful in this regard. It is not inconceivable to be able to see through the background, potential, and future achievements of some low-level cultivators at a glance.

Therefore, with the eyesight of Ling Qiyue and Fu Yinxue, it is not difficult to see some extraordinary qualities in Ling Changqing, and the same is true for Luo Ji.

Although there are specific secret techniques and magical instruments that can conceal one's own secrets, the effect will be very limited when the gap in cultivation is too great.

If you want to avoid this situation, the best solution is of course to improve your cultivation as quickly as possible. With sufficient strength, others will naturally not be able to see through your true intentions.

"...Sister, how is the organization's expansion plan in the dark underground spirit world going?"

Ling Qiyue hesitated for a moment, but still asked this slightly sensitive question.

Fu Yinxue smiled and said, "There is nothing to hide from you, Yue'er. The development process is generally going smoothly, but there are some minor troubles that have not been dealt with yet."

"If we want to completely take over that world and turn it into a new territory for our organization, I estimate it will take another thirty to fifty years, right?"

“That went really well!”

Ling Qiyue nodded slightly.

Fu Yinxue looked at her with a hint of regret: "I recommended you to join the pioneering team, but you refused. If you had accepted at that time, you would have already broken through to the Golden Core Realm by now, right?"

"Maybe he died there."

Ling Qiyue snorted. Exploring foreign lands has never been an easy task, and deaths are commonplace.

Moreover, such plans of exploration and conquest involving a new continent often last for thousands of years.

The dark spiritual world underground is one of the many small worlds discovered by the world of immortal cultivation in the past ten thousand years. It is famous for its rich resources and the fierce and secretive strength of its indigenous people.

Although it is called a small world, its absolute territory is not small. There are many fourth- and fifth-order spiritual veins in it, as well as various natural treasures that are of great value to the ancestors of the God Transformation.

The mysterious organization behind Fu Yinxue has been painstakingly planning and operating for nearly a thousand years, investing countless financial and material resources, and even dispatching many powerful people at the Nascent Soul and God Transformation levels, but only now have they seen the dawn of victory.

Of course, Ling Qiyue didn't really believe Fu Yinxue's words. She said it lightly, and it was estimated that some of the last hard bones had not been chewed yet.

Fortunately, their main attention was tied up in the underground world, and they could not escape for the time being.

Otherwise, if they are really allowed to free up their hands, there will probably be no peace outside, for example, in the Feiyu Sea where the Ling family is located.

Tang Qiuyao next to her glanced at Ling Qiyue, her eyes filled with worry.

If the Ling family wants to continue to pass on their legacy in the future, the current foundation is far from enough, and it is unknown how far Ling Qiyue's cultivation level will eventually reach. She looked at the purple-clothed handsome boy next to her. This guy is only a cultivator in the Qi training stage now, and there will not be much time left for him to grow.

Sighing silently, Tang Qiuyao picked up the jade wine bottle in her hand and drank it all in one gulp.

The meal was a great success for both the host and the guests. When Ling Qiyue said her last goodbye, she implicitly expressed her wish to purchase certain resources.

Fu Yinxue smiled and said, "Yuer, you know, I am only responsible for the intelligence business and issuing some spiritual stone loans. As for resource transactions, that is not my area of ​​jurisdiction."

"But considering our past friendship, it's not impossible for me to help you this time. Just give me the list."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, sister!"

Ling Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief and took out the jade slip that had been prepared long ago and handed it to her.

Fu Yinxue took it and glanced at it, then said, "The quantity is a bit large, but it's not a big problem. Next time, bring enough spirit stones to trade!"

"That's a deal!"

Ling Qiyue nodded with satisfaction. After all, this senior sister still cherished the friendship they had in the past.

After bidding farewell to Fu Yinxue, Ling Qiyue went to meet several cultivators, most of whom were at the foundation-building level. Among them were puppet masters, talisman masters, array masters, weapon refiners, and so on.

The results of the meetings were mostly ideal. Ling Qiyue mainly came to buy or sell certain resources, exchange cultivation experiences, and gather information.

The foundation-building family has limited resources. If they want to continue to develop or even go further, they must maintain communication with higher-level forces and share what they have.

It was not until nightfall that Ling Qiyue brought the two back to the inn.

"... Senior Sister, the number of independent cultivators in the Hanyue Continent Market seems a bit too much?"

In the bedroom, Ling Changqing spoke with a hint of doubt.

The living environment of independent cultivators is harsh, resources are scarce, cultivation is difficult, and it is common for them to die halfway.

Someone has done statistics and found that the average life expectancy of those low-level casual cultivators is less than 60 years old, which is similar to that of ordinary mortals.

The maximum lifespan of a cultivator in the Qi training stage can reach 120 years, but not many low-level cultivators can live over a hundred years.

Moreover, there are very few independent cultivators who can cultivate to the ninth level of Qi training in their lifetime, let alone build a foundation.

"What's so hard to understand about this?"

Ling Qiyue said gently: "The scale of the independent cultivators in this world is really too large. Among ten thousand or even one hundred thousand independent cultivators, there must be a few people with good talent and potential, right?"

"There are always people who can obtain certain opportunities and successfully build a foundation. Didn't our Ling family's ancestor also establish the family foundation as a casual cultivator?"

Tang Qiuyao added: "You are still in the Qi training stage, so you can't get in touch with the circle of foundation-building cultivators. When you build your foundation in the future, you will find that the number of foundation-building cultivators is much greater than you imagined."

"understood."

Ling Changqing nodded, taking his previous life as an example, there might not be many college students in his hometown village, but after returning to school, he saw with his own eyes that there were thousands of college students in the university town.

Going further up, the same applies to master's students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. When you have the ability to enter that circle, you will find that there are actually many people like you.

It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine the world of multimillionaires and billionaires. But when you step into that class by chance one day, you will find that there are actually quite a lot of rich people, and there are also many people who are more powerful than you.

Therefore, there is no need to complain about the phenomenon that there are so many people who have established their foundation and golden elixirs everywhere. In such a magnificent, vast, mysterious and unfathomable world, there will never be a shortage of brilliant and talented people.

No matter how hard, difficult, or dark the life at the bottom is, there will always be people who struggle hard and stand out, and this is not an isolated case.

From Ling Changqing's point of view, only by making courageous progress, step by step to the foundation-building and even golden elixir levels, can one be able to see more of the wonderful scenery in this world.

"Okay, let's go home tomorrow!"

Ling Qiyue said that if she stayed any longer, there was a chance that people from the Paradise Palace would really come to her door, so it was better to avoid trouble for now.
