Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 63 Mysterious Alchemy Sutra
In the world of cultivating immortals, technical talents such as alchemists, talisman masters, and formation masters have always been a scarce resource.

Especially for the alchemist, who is the best among all arts of immortal cultivation, his status and position are even more transcendent.

After all, the significance of elixir resources to cultivators is like that of food to mortals.

It is difficult for mortals to survive without food, and cultivators cannot cultivate and improve themselves without elixirs.

Therefore, Ling Changqing has a clear understanding of his own importance, and it is only a matter of time before other forces come to poach him.

However, the Wu family's simple and direct approach still made Ling Changqing a little unbelievable.

After frowning and staring at the guy opposite for a long time, Ling Changqing slowly spoke:
"Why do you think I will accept your proposal? Is it because you represent the Wu family?"

The male cultivator chuckled: "For you, Mr. Ling, the Wu family is of course a more suitable choice, because there is more room for growth there!"

"The Wu family's resources in terms of alchemy classics and medicinal herb raw materials are not inferior to those of the Ling family, and they are all prepared for you alone!"

"Unfortunately, I don't think so!"

Ling Changqing sneered: "No need to say more, do you want to end it yourself? Or do you want me to do it myself?"

This guy impersonated the identity of a member of the Ling family. Needless to say, the original owner was definitely killed by him in secret to silence him.

As for that trick of making promises, Ling Changqing is not a newbie who just debuted, how could he be fooled so easily?
The male cultivator smiled and said, "Young Master, please be patient. Since I dare to come here alone, I will naturally have a gift of sufficient weight to offer. I will not come empty-handed!"

Amidst the colorful light and shadow, he held a scroll of ancient and mottled jade in his hand, and the jade slip itself had a slight bronze luster.

Ling Changqing was slightly startled, and his eyes were a little more solemn. His intuition told him that the content of this jade slip would not be too simple.

Perhaps, its grade is higher than the Ling family's fundamental skill: Xuanzhen Black Water Sutra?

"This is the first volume of a profound alchemy scripture,"

The male cultivator explained, "One of the ancestors of the Wu family accidentally found it in a relic while traveling around the world. Although only the first volume was found, it is still quite rare."

"As long as Master Ling is willing to change his sect, this jade slip will be yours. I believe that with it, your attainments in alchemy will be further improved!"

Ling Changqing asked: "What grade is this Dan Sutra?"

"At least it's a lower grade Xuan level,"

The male cultivator said confidently, "Even if it is incomplete, its value is inestimable. Young Master is a connoisseur of value. I don't need to explain too much, right?"

Ling Changqing frowned and said nothing. According to the introduction in "Records of the Heavens", the martial arts books of this world are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, mysterious and yellow, and each level is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.

The Ling family's fundamental technique: Xuanzhen Black Water Scripture, is said to be able to be cultivated to the state of Golden Elixir Great Perfection. In terms of grade, it can only be regarded as a mid-level yellow-level technique.

As for higher-level martial arts manuals, Ling Changqing has not seen them yet. Perhaps the head of the family, Ling Qiyue, has them?

"Words are not enough. I need to verify the authenticity of this Danjing."

After weighing the pros and cons, Ling Changqing spoke slowly.

The male cultivator nodded: "That's no problem, Master Ling can verify it at will!"

After saying this, he raised his hand slightly, and the jade slip flew lightly to the table in front of Ling Changqing.

Ling Changqing did not touch the jade slip immediately. He communicated with the Era Star Palace in his sea of ​​consciousness calmly and did not sense any dangerous aura before picking it up.

Slowly unfolding the jade slip, Ling Changqing discovered that the material of this thing was indeed somewhat unusual.

Rather than being called jade, it is more like some unknown spiritual gold, but it is extremely light, just like a piece of paper.

The jade slip is covered with ancient seal characters as densely packed and fine as sand, exuding a mysterious and obscure Taoist aura.

However, only the first hundred or so words could be seen clearly, while the remaining characters were shrouded in a layer of gorgeous golden red glow, making them hazy and blurred.

No matter how hard Ling Changqing tried, he could not decipher the specific content behind it.

"Please forgive me, Master Ling,"

The male cultivator smiled and explained, "This is a restriction set by the patriarch himself. Without the corresponding spiritual formula, it cannot be unlocked at all."

"As long as Master Ling is willing to go to Longhuan Island, he will be able to see the true appearance of the Alchemy Scripture after meeting the master of the family."

"..." Ling Changqing raised his head and stared at him: "The head of the Wu family is indeed cunning and treacherous. He is sure that I will not refuse, right?"

This is because I am sure that he will be reluctant to part with this alchemy book, so I must go to Longhuan Island.

Of course it's easy to get in, but it's impossible to get out again.

With the means of the patriarch Wu Canglang, he would definitely find ways to trap Ling Changqing and never let him have the chance to escape from the control of the Wu family.

The male cultivator was confident: "Mr. Ling is a wise man. I believe you already know what is the best choice for you, right?"

Seeing Ling Changqing hesitating in silence, this guy was not in a hurry and waited leisurely.

Now that the initiative is in his hands, he is not afraid that this beautiful young man in purple will not obey.

However, there was no sign of anything unusual on Ling Changqing's face. The main body of the Era Star Palace in his sea of ​​consciousness was shaking slightly, unnoticedly breaking through the shielding of the magnificent glow.

In just a moment, Jiyuan Star Palace copied and recorded all the contents of the jade slip.

After all, the head of the Wu Canglang family is only at the late stage of foundation building. No matter how powerful this restriction is, it is impossible to exceed the golden elixir level.

Moreover, Jiyuan Star Palace has identified that this jade slip is not the original, but just a replica.

"That's all."

After a few breaths, Ling Changqing sighed with regret: "It seems that I am unlucky and have no chance to see the true appearance of the Dan Sutra. Daoist friend, please go back."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently pushed the jade slip back to the male cultivator.

The male cultivator looked surprised: "Master Ling, don't you want this alchemy manual? This is a rare opportunity, you must think carefully."

"Moreover, our family master has clues about the rest of the Dan Sutra, and he can give them to you as long as you go over there."

For an alchemist, there is no need to explain how attractive this jade slip is. He really doesn't believe that Ling Changqing can resist such temptation.

Ling Changqing still shook his head: "Daoyou, you'd better leave, otherwise you won't be able to leave later."

The male cultivator's expression suddenly changed. He had already sensed the auras of several foundation-building cultivators approaching rapidly.

A hint of cruelty flashed across his eyes. Since he couldn't persuade this young man in purple, why not just... kill him before leaving?

Anyway, he had a special trump card in his hand that could help him avoid the pursuit of the foundation-building cultivators.

However, Ling Changqing's reaction was one step faster than his. In a flash, three layers of bright light enveloped him from inside and outside, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.

"The thief shall die!"

Tang Qiuyao's clear shout came from far outside, and the roof of the hall was blown away by the huge force, revealing the blue sky.

The male cultivator snorted coldly, and a ball of red light as big as a bucket suddenly appeared, like an arrow shot from a bow, wrapping around him and escaping into the sky.

In mid-air, the auras of four foundation-building cultivators merged into one, blocking this guy's way.

Ling Changqing was already in Ling Qiyue's boudoir, the embroidery tower. He heard a series of dull explosions outside and faint screams.

However, in a moment, the bead curtain rolled up, and the familiar figure of a stunningly beautiful woman appeared before the young man.

"Sister, how is that guy?"

Ling Changqing walked forward, naturally put his arms around Tang Qiuyao's plump and smooth waist, and asked with concern.

"Seeing the situation was bad, he committed suicide,"

Tang Qiuyao frowned slightly: "Next we have to do a comprehensive cleanup within the family, and we must identify those hidden traitors as much as possible."

The people of the Wu family are becoming more and more unscrupulous. They even dared to attack Ling Changqing directly. God knows what kind of trouble they will come up with next time?
Ling Changqing pondered: "When Senior Sister Ling comes back, maybe I can teach them a lesson, or maybe just go to war?"

The Ling family is now significantly stronger than the Wu family, and their resource reserves are also superior, so a local war is not out of the question.

Tang Qiuyao smiled and rubbed his face, saying softly: "The time is not yet ripe for a war, but it is okay to teach them a lesson. You don't have to worry about it, let Senior Sister handle it."
