Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 57 Successive Breakthroughs
After the conversation was over, Qin Yun called Ling Bingyun over and gave him some instructions, then left with Ling Changqing.

By the time the two arrived at the alchemy room, the four elders in front had already reached an agreement with the head of the family, Ling Qiyue, and left with the foundation-building pills in satisfaction.

They had to go back quickly to practice in seclusion in order to break through the foundation as soon as possible.

In the alchemy room, Qin Yun and Ling Qiyue discussed briefly, then took out all the spirit stone resources on them, as well as the jade plaque that recorded the family's merits.

"... Elder Qin, according to the family's internal exchange standard, you still owe 7,300 low-grade spirit stones and 6,000 family merits."

Tang Qiuyao spoke gently.

Qin Yun looked determined: "Then let's sign a spiritual contract. I promise to pay off all debts, including interest, within the next three years!"

The ability of a Foundation Establishment cultivator to earn resources is simply not on the same level as that of a Qi Condensation cultivator, so this debt is naturally nothing.

"Then it's settled!"

Tang Qiuyao smiled and asked her to sign the spiritual contract, then handed her a palm-sized, exquisite and unusually gorgeous green jade box.

Qin Yun took it with a solemn expression, and then opened it carefully. On the snow-white brocade base, there was a blood-colored pill the size of a longan, glowing with spiritual light, and a strange fragrance filled the air.

This is the foundation-building pill made with the Soul-Devouring Blood Soul Fruit as the main ingredient. It is slightly different from the foundation-building pill made with traditional pill recipes, but the effects are similar, and the probability of successfully building the foundation is even slightly higher.

A layer of mist quietly appeared between Qin Yun's beautiful eyes, and her gaze was dazed.

This is the Foundation Establishment Pill, an opportunity that countless Qi Condensation cultivators have longed for but cannot obtain.

As long as the foundation is successfully established, not only will the physical and magical powers be fundamentally improved, but even the essence of life will undergo a transformation like a rebirth.

A cultivator in the Qi training stage can live no more than 120 years, while a cultivator in the foundation building stage can live up to 250 years.

When the Ling family first established themselves on Chanxin Island, there was only one foundation-building cultivator in the family who protected the family members from wind and rain and ensured the Ling family's peace and tranquility for more than a hundred years.

In Ling Changqing's previous life, there was a saying that the gap between people is greater than that between people and dogs.

However, in the world of immortal cultivation, the gap between cultivators is actually greater than that between humans and ants, and even more exaggerated.

"Okay, these are the auxiliary resources needed for building the foundation. I'll give you a discount of 1,000 Spiritual Stones."

Tang Qiuyao handed over another storage bag and said, "Don't delay when you go back. Hurry up and break through in seclusion to avoid more trouble!"

"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister!"

Qin Yun looked grateful. She was originally an elder from another family, so her relationship with the Ling family was naturally a level higher than theirs. Under normal circumstances, it would not have been her turn to receive the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, Ling Qiyue didn't care about this. It was just because Qin Yun had a good personal relationship with her back then, so it was natural for her to give her the opportunity this time.

From the perspective of the patriarch, he does not need an elder from the Ling family who is at odds with him in every way to become a foundation-building person and continue to cause trouble for him.

Those disobedient elders and clan elders of the Ling family should just stay in the Qi training realm until they die of old age!

"Sister, it will probably take at least three months for them to complete their promotion, right?"

Ling Changqing asked.

There are five cultivators who have reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi training. Except for Qin Yun, an elder from another family who is a female, the other four are male elders from the Ling family.

"Roughly the same,"

Ling Qiyue said softly: "The second-level spiritual veins of Zen Heart Island cannot support five cultivators to advance to the foundation-building stage at the same time. That would affect the stability of the family's main defense formation."

"So their official breakthrough is still divided into a certain order, with a maximum of two people at a time." It's not that there can't be more, but in order to prevent emergencies, some room must be left to keep the burden of the spirit vein within a certain safe limit.

"The next three months are critical, we can't let our guard down!"

Tang Qiuyao sighed slightly.

Ling Changqing deeply agreed with this. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, and especially to ensure the stability within and outside the family, the two senior sisters and those who were building their foundation had to be extremely alert.

"Junior brother, you have nothing to do now, why don't you continue to practice in seclusion?"

Ling Qiyue told him that now that all the medicinal materials were almost exhausted, it was time for him to improve his cultivation.

"no problem."

Ling Changqing naturally had no objection to this. He was not far from the seventh level of Qi training. As long as the resources were in place, a breakthrough should be a natural result.

Ling Qiyue took out two hundred Xuanyin Blood Yuan Pills and a bunch of auxiliary medicinal resources from the storage bag and handed them to Ling Changqing. These were considered as rewards for him.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior sister."

Ling Changqing felt a surge of warmth in his heart. No matter what, Ling Qiyue treated him very well and never made things difficult for him in terms of resources.

"Stop talking about these useless things and get down to business!"

Ling Qiyue rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, her snow-white face slightly flushed.

"The road may not be safe, so I'll take you back."

Tang Qiuyao stood up gracefully, walked over and took Ling Changqing's arm.

Now is a critical moment, and Ling Changqing is irreplaceable to the family, so Tang Qiuyao no longer dares to let him return alone, even though this place is not far from her cave.

So, Ling Changqing returned to the manor under the escort of this stunningly beautiful woman. Without any delay, he immediately entered the training room and activated all the forbidden magic arrays.

At the same time, Ling Qiyue had quietly ordered several foundation-building elders and her own direct forces to enter a state of strict alert.

Three days later, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around the family headquarters began to fluctuate abnormally, the first chosen elder of the Ling family successfully crossed that threshold and established his foundation successfully.

Due to the multiple measures taken to cover up the incident in advance, some secret spies hidden inside the Ling family did not react immediately. They just thought that it was a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training who had broken through to a small realm.

Fifteen days later, when the first elder consolidated his realm and came out of seclusion, the second elder also succeeded in building his foundation.

In this way, more than two months passed quietly. When those mole spies realized that the situation was not good, Elder Qin Yun, who was the last to break through, had already successfully established his foundation.

Longhuan Island, thousands of miles away.

"…Asshole, how is this possible?"

In the meeting hall, the head of the family, Wu Canglang, who had just received the report, had a cold face and stared fiercely at the elder Wu Jinghong in front of him, gnashing his teeth and questioning:

"Four... or five people suddenly appeared? Where did the Ling family get so many foundation-building pills? Where did they come from?"

Wu Jinghong's face was pale, and he said with a lack of confidence: "It's impossible to investigate this for a while, but with the means of the female head of the family, it seems... not impossible to gather the materials for two furnaces of foundation-building pills!"

When Wu Jinghong first received the secret report from the insider, he was also in disbelief.

However, reason told him that his insider would never joke about such a thing, so the family elder in charge of external intelligence affairs did not dare to neglect it and reported to the head of the family, Wu Canglang, as soon as possible.
