Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 78 People’s hearts are complicated
After bidding farewell to Meng Ye, Ling Changqing returned to the streets and continued to be a street scoundrel.

Even though he had a large amount of spirit stones on him, this was the Ling family's territory, and no ignorant casual cultivator or robber cultivator would dare to come and cause trouble.

Speaking of which, I used to be either practicing in seclusion or working in the sea, and I didn’t have much free time like I do now.

"...Uncle, come and play when you have time!"

In front of a three-story attic with luxurious decoration and bright makeup, several beautiful girls in cool clothes greeted people with gentle words.

Moreover, these girls are all low-level casual cultivators. Although they generally only have the second or third level of Qi training, they are not something that ordinary people can get involved with.

This brothel named "Hongxingyuan", like Xianweifang in the market town, has always only received monks.

Seeing Ling Changqing's appearance, the girls' eyes lit up at the same time, and they shouted even louder, almost coming over to pull him.

Ling Changqing shook his head, quickened his pace and left.

He had no feelings for the women here, and even though he had no shortage of spirit stones, he didn't want to waste his time on them.

I remember that when Ling Changqing was going on a blind date at Tianyuan Pavilion, he met many female cultivators from brothels, each of them dressed up to look pure and lovely, or gentle and elegant.

Their words are reserved and subtle, their manners are gentle and quiet, and their every move is that of ladies from noble families, but in fact, they have experienced countless romantic affairs behind the scenes.

However, when facing the male cultivators who were dating them, these women insisted on their bottom line and refused to give in. The conditions such as the gift, flying sword, magic weapon, cave house, etc. were necessary, and they would not do it for even a penny less.

However, male cultivators who really have those conditions would not be willing to be taken advantage of. After all, there is no such rare species as an honest person among cultivators.

Thinking of Tianyuan Pavilion, Ling Changqing suddenly realized that he had not been there for a long time.

Well, it’s still early, why not go to Tianyuan Pavilion to get some free stuff first?
Ling Changqing thought about it and felt that this method of strengthening the essence of the soul really made him feel unable to stop.

The key point is that there is no risk in this kind of thing. At most, he will be stabbed in the back, scolded and cursed by those self-satisfied female cultivators, but he won't lose a piece of meat, so he doesn't care.

Ling Changqing did it as soon as he thought of it. He immediately took out the communication jade talisman and started to contact the golden matchmaker Wang Po. Sure enough, the other party replied to the message very quickly.

So after a while, Ling Changqing once again stepped into the gate of Tianyuan Pavilion.

Compared to the one on Chanxin Island, the facade of Tianyuan Pavilion here is obviously more magnificent and majestic, with golden and magnificent decorations everywhere, which is very luxurious.

"...Young man from the Ling family, long time no see!"

In the exquisite and luxurious VIP room, Wang Po, dressed in bright red silk and satin and covered in jewels, was looking at the beautiful young man in purple in front of her, a smile on her fair face.

Ling Changqing said calmly: "I am really too busy. I am either practicing or working, or I am traveling far away for training, so..."

"I see!"

Grandma Wang smiled and said, "Young man, you are obviously a seedling of immortals who is determined in the Tao and diligent in cultivation. Otherwise, your cultivation level wouldn't be increasing so fast!"

"You are our Tianyuan Pavilion's VIP, so how about this? All of our high-quality female cultivators can be shown to you. You can choose as many as you want!"

As the gold medal matchmaker in this industry, Wang Po's information channels are naturally not bad.

Ling Changqing visited him many times. Although he disguised himself and hid some of his skills, his name and contact information remained unchanged.

Therefore, after a few years, Wang Po had already guessed about Ling Changqing's true identity. Besides being surprised and awed, she no longer dared to have any small thoughts.

Although this young man has high standards and has never been able to choose a suitable female cultivator as his partner, this does not affect his income.

As a member of the Ling family who has great hope of successfully building a foundation in the future, it is normal for him to have higher vision and want to find more outstanding Taoist companions.

After a few more compliments, Wang Po stood up happily, twisted her plump waist and went out to make arrangements.

A moment later, a pair of carefully dressed twin sisters with identical facial features walked in, bowed and greeted in a soft voice, then sat down in front of Ling Changqing.

There is no need to elaborate on what happened next. In front of Ling Changqing's calm and unmoved expression, every female cultivator, or every pair of female cultivators, were coldly rejected by him in less than half an incense stick of time.

Since the scale of the market town on Longhuan Island is several times larger than that of Chanxin Island, the number and quality of female cultivators coming to Tianyuan Pavilion for blind dates has increased significantly.

After a day of watching, Ling Changqing, who was still not satisfied with his exploits, took out a handful of spirit stones from his storage bag and stuffed them into Wang Po's hand.

"Thank you for your hard work, I will come back to watch it tomorrow!"

Ling Changqing spoke gently.

Wang Po, who was a little embarrassed at first, suddenly smiled and said in a cordial manner:

"That's no problem, little brother, just come and take a look. There are so many outstanding female cultivators in Tianyuan Pavilion, there must be someone you like!"

Ling Changqing nodded, chatted for a few more words, and then said goodbye and left.

As night falls, three bright moons, either ice blue or light golden, appear in the vast sky, and the quiet and mysterious ocean of stars is in full view, which is shocking to look at.

Ling Changqing has been in this world for twenty years. Although it is not the first time he has seen such a magnificent and vast starry sky, every time he looks up, he still can't help but be intoxicated by it.

Every tiny star in the sky is actually a complete world, but they are extremely far away, so far that even Nascent Soul masters find it difficult to reach them.

Perhaps, in the future I will be able to go further on the path and have the opportunity to step above the sky and appreciate more mysterious and magnificent scenery of this space and time?
As he strolled back to his spiritual cave, Song Xuelan, a young and bright girl in a water-red dress, came to greet him.

"Sir, are you back?"

The girl said with a delighted look.

Ling Changqing reached out and pinched her smooth and tight waist. Song Xuelan blushed slightly, and her curvaceous body came up gently. "Okay, let's eat first!"

After a moment, Ling Changqing spoke gently.

Song Xuelan responded in a soft voice, straightened the front of her clothes, and then went out to tell the maids to prepare.

After a while, they placed a sumptuous dinner on the table one by one, along with some wine.

Ling Changqing sat down at the table and ate heartily. Song Xuelan dismissed all the maids, then came over and sat down opposite the table, picking up the wine jug with her slender hands to pour wine for him.

"Is something wrong?"

Ling Changqing understood a little bit as soon as he saw her expression, put down the wine glass in his hand and asked.

Song Xuelan nodded slightly: "Sir, today... quite a few people came to see you again!"

Ling Changqing didn't care: "Then what?"

"A few of the Ling family members left a visiting card, saying that they found the remains of an ancient cave on a deserted island and would like to invite you to go out and meet the immortals together!"

Song Xuelan spoke softly, with a hint of doubt in her bright eyes.

Ling Changqing paused for a moment, raised his head and glanced at her: "Do you also think there is a problem?"

Song Xuelan hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Their attitude was very friendly and their words were quite polite. They even greeted me with a smile and gave me a few spirit stones as a reward."

"However, there was indeed something subtle in their eyes when they left, as if they were very jealous of this spiritual vein cave..."

Her talent and aptitude were not particularly outstanding, but after all, she had worked in the Ling family bank for several years, so her ability to read people's expressions was naturally not bad.

Those Ling family members must have been pampered for too long and didn't take a little maid seriously at all, so they accidentally revealed some flaws?
However, even if there was no such flaw, Ling Changqing would not have believed their words.

The more likely possibility is that Ling Changqing was tricked into leaving Longhuan Island. As long as he is out of the sight of the head of the family, Ling Qiyue, it is hard to say what kind of accidents will happen.

"Bring them all here, let me see them!"

Ling Changqing ordered.

Song Xuelan agreed, got up and left, and soon came back with a stack of exquisitely crafted visiting cards.

Ling Changqing took them and looked through them one by one. Most of the visitors were women from various branches of the Ling family, and male cultivators accounted for only a minority.

They tried every possible means to get close to Ling Changqing, and it was obvious why they did so. However, he had never given any thought to this.

Want to find a Taoist partner? Wait until you can build your foundation.

After all, the lifespan of a Qi training period is no more than a hundred years, and the golden period is only a little over sixty years. If one does not practice well and just thinks about random things, it is obviously a sign of not doing one's job properly.

The Epoch Star Palace in the sea of ​​consciousness vibrated slightly, and bits of dim light silently merged into the soul, carrying some mysterious and obscure messages.

Sure enough, I knew...

Ling Changqing's heart was slightly startled. He sensed a hint of unfriendly atmosphere from the visiting cards from the male cultivators. Combined with what Song Xuelan said, the answer was obvious.

However, this is not difficult to understand. Within the family, many people have long been dissatisfied with the extraordinary treatment enjoyed by Ling Changqing, but they did not dare to show it because of Ling Qiyue's dominance.

Of course, there are more family members who are willing to curry favor with Ling Changqing. They all hope to get his help and support so that their practice can go more smoothly.

The human heart is so complicated, there is nothing difficult to understand. As long as you analyze everything from the perspective of interests, you will basically not go wrong.

Ling Changqing looked at her and said softly:

"I already know that someone will come to punish them in the future. When you have time, you can practice in the spirit gathering array."

Song Xuelan couldn't hide her surprise when she heard this: "Okay, thank you, sir!"

This means that as long as Ling Changqing is not in seclusion, she can use the second-level spiritual veins in the cave to practice. The benefits are self-evident.

In Ling Changqing's position, he also needs a loyal and trusted maid to take care of various chores for him at this stage.

Song Xuelan is cautious and dutiful. She works diligently in the cave and never slacks off, so Ling Changqing doesn't mind giving her a chance.

Early the next morning.

Ling Changqing continued to go to Tianyuan Pavilion to make money and did not return until it was getting dark.

This went on for three days. After he had looked at all the female cultivators there, Ling Changqing stopped, feeling unsatisfied.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the origin of the soul has been upgraded to 68, and the root bones and comprehension have also increased to a certain extent, and of course there is also the spiritual root qualification.

"It's a pity that my current cultivation is still a little low, otherwise I could sneak into the market in the Mu family's territory, or even the Hanyuezhou market, where I would surely be able to gain more..."

Ling Changqing thought about it with a little regret.

But this is a good result now. One should not be too impatient for quick success.

Take it slow, there will always be a chance to get what you want in the future.
