Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 77 Tang Qiuyao: We must not let other vixens get there first

In this way, Ling Changqing and his senior sister took turns to take action, and pills with various functions and uses were refined one after another.

With Ling Qiyue's current level of cultivation, her efficiency in alchemy can only be higher, and in just less than three months, all the newly acquired medicinal herbs were consumed.

When the last batch of healing pills were refined, Ling Changqing silently checked his own condition:
[Dan Dao: 9361/10000 (First-class medium quality)]

[Main cultivation technique: Xuanzhen Black Water Sutra (third level) 5811\20000]

[Spiritual roots: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, excellent character 3590/20000]

[Noble: Tang Qiuyao/Ling Qiyue/Xue Qingtan]

[Noble:? ]

After several months of frequent practice, Ling Changqing's alchemy level has approached the threshold of the first-grade upper level, and it won't be long before he can be promoted.

The main skills and spiritual root qualifications have been improved accordingly. This visible progress makes Ling Changqing feel confident.

As for the list of nobles, since Ling Zifeng's status and cultivation were not as good as Ling Changqing's now, it was natural for him to be removed from the list.

Of course, being removed from the list does not mean that you will become strangers and have no further contact with each other, but it means that the Epoch Star Palace will no longer influence the target's soul and will.

When Ling Changqing sees Ling Zifeng again in the future, the other party will not feel that there is anything wrong, and the friendship of past support will still be there.

As for Xue Qingtan, she was a new target candidate added by Ling Changqing after careful consideration.

With the Jiyuan Star Palace around, Xue Qingtan will gradually develop a friendly and close attitude towards Ling Changqing, and will give him some care and convenience within her ability without harming her own interests.

Originally, Ling Changqing wanted to add Shen Tu Hong's name as well, but the Jiyuan Xing Palace prompted that the other party's cultivation level was too high and could not be added.

So Ling Changqing understood that the old man's true cultivation must have reached the Golden Core level, or at least the True Core level, which was two major realms higher than his own, so he could not add to it.

Ling Qiyue was added before her promotion, so she is not subject to this restriction.

"...Well, I'll have some free time again."

Counting the number of pills on hand, Ling Qiyue sighed slightly.

There is no way around it. Only those alchemists who come from powerful forces at the Nascent Soul level can obtain enough medicinal herbs and raw materials, so they can practice endlessly without stopping for a moment.

In fact, with Ling Changqing's help, Ling Qiyue has been refining pills more frequently in recent years. The alchemists in other small forces will only have more free time.

Due to the shortage of medicinal herb raw materials, alchemists have few opportunities to practice, and naturally have no way to accumulate experience and proficiency, and improving their level has become a luxury.

Under this vicious cycle, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is for a small force to train a skilled alchemist.

If Ling Qiyue had not obtained an opportunity outside, it would have been impossible for her to grow into a second-level alchemist so easily.

However, for her, meeting and deciding to train Ling Changqing was a greater opportunity that could benefit the entire family.

Tang Qiuyao suggested: "Why don't we take a few days off first, and then we can continue to work in the sea with our junior brother?"

The deep sea area is an effective way to obtain high-quality resources. As Ling Changqing's cultivation level increases, this channel has become increasingly important.

Ling Qiyue pondered and said, "The medicinal resources in the family treasury are sufficient for the time being. Let's first complete the selection of the new batch of immortal seedlings, shall we?"

"fair enough."

Tang Qiuyao nodded and agreed. This was actually a common practice within the Ling family. All new generation descendants had to be tested by the elders at an early age to be selected as immortal seedlings.

Once a disciple is found to have spiritual roots and is qualified to practice cultivation, he will immediately receive attention and training from the family's top brass, and a certain amount of cultivation resources will be distributed every month.

Now Ling Qiyue has changed the rules. As long as the children of the Ling family have spiritual roots, no matter they are from the direct or collateral lineage, they can receive training and support from the family.

And that's not enough, Ling Qiyue also plans to select and find immortal seedlings from the massive population of mortals, bring them back to the family for training, and thus enrich the Ling family's foundation.

Although the probability of a mortal being born with spiritual roots is very low, the size of the group is so large that as long as you are willing to look for it carefully, you will always gain something.

The top management of the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce has such a plan, and it has been implemented for thousands of years. Every year, a large number of fairy seedlings are discovered from various places and brought back to the organization for cultivation.

Ling Qiyue had this idea a long time ago, but in the past, resources were limited and not enough for her own family, so she really didn't have the conditions.

Now that the Ling family has more resources and the need to quickly increase their strength, they can put the plan into action.

"Senior Sister, then I will go back and rest?"

Ling Changqing said that there was no work to do here for the time being, so he could do what he liked.

"Well, go ahead, we'll call you if anything happens."

Ling Qiyue touched his hand and said with a smile that with Tang Qiuyao beside her, she couldn't act too close.

When Ling Changqing walked out of the door, Tang Qiuyao, who was busy with her work, rolled her eyes at her and whispered:
"You said you had no feelings for him, so why are you still entangled with him? Can you stop saying one thing and thinking another?"

Ling Qiyue blushed slightly and whispered back, "Aren't you the same? Look at the way you look at him. You almost pounce on him and bite him. And you're still blaming me?"

Tang Qiuyao couldn't help but get angry: "What nonsense are you talking about, you slut? When did I ever think about... him?"

Ling Qiyue sneered: "You dare to say you didn't? Then you are not allowed to look at him in the future!"

Tang Qiuyao blushed: "You are being unreasonable, aren't you? It's obviously you who look at him the most, and you're still blaming me?"

Ling Qiyue snorted: "Yes, yes. No, no! Who can hide it from whom?"

"That's enough. What else do we need to argue about?"

Tang Qiuyao's face flushed with anger, and she whispered:

"There are many girls out there who are eyeing him! For example, Qin Yun, she has always wanted to marry her daughter to Junior Brother! Don't let her succeed by mistake!" "She..."

Ling Qiyue was slightly stunned, and finally reacted: "That Ling Bingyun's cultivation is mediocre, how could Junior Brother be interested in her? It would be better if she came by herself!"

"Humph! Who said that didn't happen?"

Tang Qiuyao frowned slightly, thinking about the appearance of that elegant and beautiful woman, and a sense of urgency that she had never felt before quietly grew in her heart.

Perhaps, I can't keep it up any longer, and I should quickly settle this matter and not let some other seductress get there first.

Ling Qiyue hesitated for a long time, and finally said with a red face: "You should pay more attention to him in the future. After all, Junior Brother is still young and inexperienced. Don't let him be deceived by wild women outside!"

To be honest, she is not sure whether she really wants to find a Taoist companion.

But no matter what, the successor of the alchemy that he had taught with great effort must not be allowed to be picked by other idlers.

"Haha, I saved that."

Tang Qiuyao glanced at her with a half-smile and agreed in a low voice. After all, she was also involved in this matter.

……

In the bustling market town.

Ling Changqing was strolling leisurely on the street, feeling the breath of worldly life, with a happy look on his face.

The top leaders of the Ling family moved collectively, and many of the industries that had originally remained on Chanxin Island were also brought here. In addition, those mortal merchants with connections also followed with their families.

In addition, among the many original merchants in Longhuan Island Market, except for those who were too closely involved with the Wu family and were cleared out, the rest were retained.

In addition, many independent cultivators from the surrounding waters also flocked to Longhuan Island to make a living after the war ended, making this place more and more popular.

Looking around, the scale of this market is more than four times larger than that of Zen Island, and the variety of goods in the shops is also much richer.

As they were optimistic about the Ling family's future prospects, many foreign businesses expanded their business here, bringing more financial income to the family.

I haven't contacted Meng Ye for a while, and I wonder how he is doing now?

Ling Changqing thought of this cowardly alchemist. The last time he heard about him was when Xue Qingtan mentioned him.

I think with the resources provided by the Xingyun Falcon Chamber of Commerce, he will soon succeed in building his foundation? I don't know whether he will continue to stay in the Ling family in the future, or go somewhere else to develop.

Of course, if he cannot repay the debt in twenty or thirty years, I am afraid that he will have to be sold to the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce and will never be able to get rid of it.

After thinking for a while, Ling Changqing took out the communication jade talisman and tried to contact Meng Ye, but he didn't expect that the other party responded so quickly.

According to the address given by Meng Ye, Ling Changqing found the place without much effort.

It is still an inconspicuous shop, with a deserted front and almost no one visiting.

Ling Changqing pushed the door open and walked in. The furnishings and layout inside were the same as before. Two alchemy apprentices in green clothes and small hats stood by the wall, looking straight ahead.

Dressed in a dark Taoist robe, Meng Ye, a serious man, sat behind the desk with his lips tightly pursed, looking mysterious.

The list of elixir resources hanging on the wall has several more first-grade, top-quality elixirs than last time, and the prices are naturally not cheap.

"...Friend Meng, long time no see!"

Ling Changqing greeted him, sat down on the chair brought over by the apprentice, and took the teacup handed to him by the other party.

Meng Ye nodded calmly and said quietly, "My friend, your cultivation has improved very quickly. Are the resources for building your foundation ready? I think that considering how much the patriarch values ​​you, these are not a problem."

Ling Changqing smiled calmly and looked the other person up and down:

"You are already at the ninth level of Qi training. With that investment, building a foundation shouldn't be a problem. Are you willing to stay on Longhuan Island and develop in the future?"

Meng Ye responded calmly: "Are you asking on behalf of the Patriarch?"

“You can think of it that way.”

Ling Changqing said that as long as it wasn't a big deal, he was now qualified to represent Ling Qiyue's attitude, and she wouldn't mind if she knew about it later.

Meng Ye nodded: "I am used to staying in the Ling family's territory. Even if I successfully build my foundation in the future, I have no plans to change my family. You can rest assured about this."

"That's fine."

Ling Changqing breathed a sigh of relief. Alchemists are absolutely scarce talents, especially second-level alchemists. Many forces are willing to offer extremely generous conditions to recruit them.

Even though the Ling family no longer lacks alchemists, there is no reason to give him to the hostile forces.

Immediately, Ling Changqing took out four cold jade boxes from his storage bag and handed them to the alchemy apprentice beside him, who opened them on the spot.

Inside the Hanyu Box are the resources that Meng Ye specifically asked to collect, including the Rose Flower, Huailing Grass, and Xinhun Pearl, all of which are first-level spiritual medicines that only grow in certain specific areas on the seabed.

Meng Ye took it and looked at it, his expression unable to hide his joy: "Very good, two hundred Xuanyin Blood Yuan Pills, or five thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones, which one do you choose?"

Ling Changqing said: "I don't lack medicinal resources now, I just need spirit stones!"

"can."

As Meng Ye spoke, he took out fifty-five medium-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to the apprentice beside him, who then passed them to Ling Changqing.

Ling Changqing confirmed that it was correct and put it away.
