Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 83: Ninth Level of Qi Training
In the following months, the top management of the Ling family focused on internal development and paid little attention to the development of the external situation.

The top management of the Mu family temporarily slowed down their pace of external expansion because they had to keep an eye on the movements of the Ling family, causing many small forces in the Feiyu Sea to breathe a sigh of relief.

In the Feiyu Sea in the past, everyone was a force at the foundation-building level. They formed alliances and restrained each other, and no one had overwhelming power.

However, the current situation has changed dramatically. The Ling family and the Mu family have each given birth to a Jindan Zhenren, and have become the most powerful families in the Feiyu Sea area, forming an overwhelming advantage over other forces.

Regardless of whether those small forces are willing or not, they will have to consider choosing sides and choosing one of the two major families to rely on.

If you keep putting on airs and remain neutral, you might end up being the first to be hit in the future and become the target of the two big families' killing of the chicken to scare the monkeys.

To this end, a number of small families and sects have sent envoys to pledge their loyalty to the Mu family or the Ling family in order to preserve their own foundation in the upcoming game of chess.

Of course, this process is relatively long. If there are no unexpected events, the confrontation between the two powers may last for decades or even hundreds of years without much change.

In this relatively calm state, Ling Changqing, who had recovered, came out quietly.

Longhuan Island, family headquarters.

In a secret room tightly protected by formations and prohibitions, Tang Qiuyao sat behind a desk, checking the income and expenditure accounts for the past six months, her beautiful dark eyes filled with concentration.

"...Senior Sister, have some tea!"

Not far away, Ling Changqing, who was as gentle as jade and had eyes like lacquer, came over with a green jade teacup and gently placed it next to her hand.

Tang Qiuyao agreed gently, gently put down the jade account book in her hand, picked up the teacup, and took a sip with elegant manner.

This stunningly beautiful woman has her hair tied up high at the moment, and her golden phoenix-wing hairpins sparkle brightly under the pearl light. She wears an intricate and gorgeous bright yellow brocade dress with a variety of flowers and a bright red bodice with exquisite embroidery, outlining the dazzling, bottomless central ravine on her chest.

She had snow-white skin, fair face, eyebrows like distant mountains, graceful and quiet facial features as exquisite as a painting, and her voluptuous and graceful body with ups and downs, like a gorgeous and peerless painting, which made Ling Changqing unable to take his eyes away.

He was a 100% action-oriented person. He immediately moved to Tang Qiuyao's side, put his arms around her smooth and tight waist, and began to rub her body with his head. His body fragrance filled the air.

"What are you doing? You bad guy!"

Tang Qiuyao couldn't help but blush and say, her beautiful face was covered with red clouds, her beauty was breathtaking.

"hungry……"

Ling Changqing spoke incoherently, stretched out one hand to his senior sister's waist, nimbly untied the delicate knotted buckle, and then devoured it as if a heavenly dog ​​was eating the moon.

"You, you actually..."

Tang Qiuyao's plump and charming body leaned back slightly to make it easier for the young man in her arms to do bad things. She felt an unprecedented, heart-pounding thrill coming over her in waves, making her almost intoxicated by it.

Under the bright pearl light, the gorgeous golden hairpins and tassels on the lush hair of the stunningly beautiful woman swayed slightly, creating layers of charming light and shadow.

"……enough!"

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Qiuyao's soft and charming voice sounded, with a hint of lazy charm.

Ling Changqing stopped reluctantly, and caressed his senior sister's delicate body reluctantly. The smooth, tender, and surprisingly elastic skin made him unable to stop.

"Still not working?"

Looking at the blushing Tang Qiuyao adjusting her skirt, Ling Changqing said with a somewhat disappointed look.

Given the relationship between the two, almost everything that should be done has been done, except for the last hurdle, and the stunningly beautiful woman still refuses to let go.

Tang Qiuyao glanced at him coquettishly and said softly, "Your cultivation is not enough yet. You need to build your foundation before you can practice Senior Sister's dual cultivation technique."

"Besides, your Senior Sister Qiyue is still waiting. What's going on between us... have you thought about how to explain it to her afterwards?"

"This one……"

Ling Changqing thought about it and didn't think there was anything wrong: "Senior Sister Ling won't object, right? She knows my thoughts very well!"

"Having said that, it's still better to make it clear!"

Tang Qiuyao said coquettishly with a gentle look on her face, fastened the buckle of her jade belt gracefully, then hugged him again and kissed him.

"By the way, you haven't used the raw spiritual stones you brought back last time, right?"

Tang Qiuyao asked again.

Ling Changqing said: "They are all still here, what do you think of them, Senior Sister?"

On the market, uncut and unpolished spirit stone ore cannot be traded directly, so Ling Changqing has kept it, planning to find a suitable place to process it into spirit stones of standard size in the future.

"Why don't you give it to me? I have a processed one for you."

Tang Qiuyao said this and took out two large-capacity storage bracelets for him.

Ling Changqing took it, examined it briefly, and found that it was full of spirit stones.

According to her explanation, for confidentiality reasons, these raw spiritual stones were secretly processed by craftsmen within the family, and even the other senior elders of the Ling family were unaware of it. "Okay, then I'll follow Senior Sister's arrangements."

As Ling Changqing spoke, he handed all the spirit stone storage bags on his body to Tang Qiuyao.

After a pause, Ling Changqing asked curiously, "These spirit stones cannot be put into the family treasury, right? They should all belong to Senior Sister's private treasury, and be used to manage private income and expenditure?"

"Yes,"

Tang Qiuyao said, "These are the resources that the three of us risked our lives to get back. They have nothing to do with the family treasury, so how to spend them is entirely up to Senior Sister."

Most of the resources in the private vault are needed for Ling Qiyue's cultivation. After all, Jindan Zhenren's demand for cultivation resources will only become more exaggerated.

Of course, Tang Qiuyao and Ling Changqing also had a part. In Ling Qiyue's eyes, the three of them had long been a Taoist couple who shared weal and woe.

"Well, this is naturally the best!"

Ling Changqing had no objection to this. Besides, there were more than one or two secret spies lurking inside the Ling family, and doing so was also for the sake of confidentiality.

"By the way, how far are you from reaching the ninth level of Qi training?"

Tang Qiuyao tilted her head and asked.

"It will be done soon. It will take about three to six months of accumulation before it can be completed!"

Ling Changqing replied that with his current resources, there is indeed no bottleneck in this regard, and he can be promoted once he has accumulated enough.

"Then you should go into seclusion and practice meditation first. There is nothing else you need to do right now anyway."

Tang Qiuyao said this because she was thinking that as Ling Changqing's cultivation level improved, the rate at which his own luck and fortune would be depleted would be significantly reduced, and he wouldn't have to be so nervous every time he went out to sea.

"Well... that's fine too."

Ling Changqing pondered for a moment and found that this was the most appropriate choice at the moment, so he nodded and agreed.

The two of them hugged each other tenderly for a while before Ling Changqing reluctantly left and returned to his spiritual cave to begin his retreat to reach a new realm.

Three months passed quietly.

In the training room, Ling Changqing sat upright on the cloud bed, his whole body shrouded in dark spiritual light, and the aura of Xuanyin water essence emanating from him was rich and pure.

After a long time, he finally woke up slowly from his deep state of enlightenment.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, a message with a mysterious rhyme of Tao emerged silently:
[Lord of the Era Star Palace: Ling Changqing]

【Bone age: 22】

[Cultivation: Qi training level nine]

【Luck:58+166】

【Fortune: 56+141】

【Physique:26】

【Root bone: 26】

【Comprehension: 30】

[Soul: 73]

[Dan Dao: 1137/20000 (First-class superior)]

[Main cultivation technique: Xuanzhen Black Water Sutra (third level) 12110\20000]

[Spiritual roots: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, excellent character 6591/20000]

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

[Noble:? ]

Becoming a first-class superior alchemist was an expected result, and the third level of the Xuanzhen Black Water Sutra was about to be completed.

The last time she refined the elixir, Ling Qiyue had already handed the middle part of the Xuanzhen Black Water Sutra to Ling Changqing, and she could start practicing as soon as he successfully built his foundation.

As for magical skills such as Water Escape Technique, Mysterious Ice Lightning Technique, Water Spirit Shield, and Water Mirror Communication, they have already been cultivated to the extreme of the current realm and there is no room for improvement.

However, the growth and transformation of spiritual roots is a bit slow. If you want to transform and sublimate into earth-grade spiritual roots, you have to wait until you have established your foundation.

"I have to ask my senior sister if she has any manuals on sword cultivation and physical cultivation techniques, or I can find a way to buy them from somewhere else..."

Ling Changqing thought to himself that he now had sufficient resources for cultivation and could consider a more perfect development path.
