Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 87 Ling Changqing: Senior Sister, please listen to my explanation!

Xiuhexuan.

In the VIP room, Tang Qiuyao was chatting happily with a woman in blue who looked to be around thirty years old, quiet, gentle, beautiful and well-looking.

Ling Changqing sat aside and sipped tea silently, playing the role of a silent follower.

This woman named Hua Jingyi is currently a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, but her aura is a little scattered, mixed and impure. I don’t know if it is because her foundation is flawed or if she has suffered some hidden injuries in the past.

Although Hua Jingyi had some friendship with Ling Qiyue in the past, she liked to travel around in search of immortals, had no fixed place to live, and rarely stayed in the Ling family's territory.

Later, after the Ling family annexed the Wu family's assets, the family headquarters and main clan members moved to Longhuan Island.

More than a year ago, Hua Jingyi was injured in an accident, so she came to rent a piece of land in the market town, mainly dealing in various low- and medium-level defensive magic weapons, especially magic weapon clothing.

"...It's been so long, Senior Sister Hua's injuries haven't recovered yet? Even her cultivation has regressed?"

Unconsciously, Tang Qiuyao brought the topic back on track.

The female cultivator surnamed Hua did not shy away from this topic: "Indeed, my injuries are somewhat complicated. They were caused by a third-level monster. The strange poison invaded my meridians and internal organs, so it is extremely difficult to remove!"

She used to be in the middle stage of foundation building, but she never recovered after being injured, so her cultivation gradually degenerated to the early stage of foundation building.

Hua Jingyi has tried many methods and spent a lot of resources, but with little success, so much so that she has become a little discouraged.

Tang Qiuyao smiled and said, "Things like this... are troublesome, but as long as we find the right person, there is still hope of solving it!"

Hua Jingyi's eyes flickered: "Did Senior Sister Ling ask you to come? I know she is a second-level top-grade alchemist, but this strange poison comes from a third-level monster. Can she do it?"

"Half sure,"

Tang Qiuyao explained: "As long as Senior Sister Hua agrees to become a lifelong guest of the family, the head of the family will do his best to refine healing pills for you!"

Ling Qiyue now knows the contents of the mysterious alchemy book that Ling Changqing obtained. After some contemplation, it has greatly helped her level of alchemy, and she is not far from the realm of a third-level alchemist.

Hua Jingyi's eyes lit up. Although she didn't like being constrained, if her injuries were not healed in time, not only would her cultivation level continue to decline, but even her lifespan would be affected.

But as long as Ling Qiyue can help him heal his wounds, not only will his cultivation be restored, but he may also have the opportunity to make further progress in the future?
In comparison, being a lifelong guest of the Ling family and fulfilling some responsibilities and obligations to the family is not a harsh condition.

Being able to take shelter under the tutelage of a Jindan family is an opportunity that not every casual cultivator has.

After becoming a guest official, as long as you don’t offend any Nascent Soul cultivator, you can basically rest assured in the future.

"In that case, it's settled!"

After thinking for a moment, Hua Jingyi made a decision.

Tang Qiuyao smiled and said, "It's good that Senior Sister Hua has figured it out. After signing this spiritual contract, you can go see Senior Sister Ling tomorrow. She will discuss the healing matters with you in person."

"Ok."

Hua Jingyi had no objection to this and nodded in agreement, so Tang Qiuyao took out the prepared spiritual contract document and went through the signing process.

"Eh? Junior Sister Tang, who is this young man?"

The thing she cared about most had been settled. Hua Jingyi, in a good mood, finally noticed the presence of Ling Changqing beside her.

Tang Qiuyao smiled and said, "He... is Senior Sister Ling's direct disciple of alchemy. He is already a first-class upper-grade alchemist."

"..."

Hua Jingyi's expression changed slightly, and her eyes suddenly became more solemn. She looked up and down at the purple-clothed handsome boy for a while, and whispered:

"I have never heard that Senior Sister Ling has accepted any disciples, but considering this young man's talent and endowment, he is indeed a rare elite. No wonder she is willing to value his cultivation..."

In her eyes, Ling Changqing is so young, but he has already reached the ninth level of Qi training, and is also a first-class top-grade alchemist. It is conceivable how brilliant his future will be.

With such conditions, even within the Nascent Soul Sect, it is possible to gain the attention of powerful figures, who would be willing to invest resources in cultivation and support, right?

Of course, Ling Qiyue is already a Jindan Zhenren now, and she can actually find and have such an outstanding successor. God really favors her too much, right?
And in this way, wouldn't the Ling family have another second-level alchemist in the future? The rapid improvement of the family's strength is a foregone conclusion... there is no escape.

Tang Qiuyao smiled and thought to herself that he is not only a successor, but this guy will also be our dual cultivation partner in the future!
In order to avoid over-stimulating Hua Jingyi, Tang Qiuyao did not say this out loud.

Of course, it wouldn't matter even if she found out afterwards.

After a few moments of silence, Hua Jingyi took out a jade talisman and handed it to Ling Changqing, saying softly:

"Since you are the successor chosen by Senior Sister Ling, I can't be stingy. I will refine a set of suitable spiritual tools and clothes for you as a gift. You can use this token to take it in the future."

Spirit weapon refining not only requires suitable second-level materials, but also requires sufficient time to complete, and it is generally impossible to have ready stock. Ling Changqing turned his head and glanced at Tang Qiuyao before agreeing: "Then thank you, Senior Sister Hua!"

After saying this, he took the jade talisman and put it away carefully.

After finishing the business, Tang Qiuyao said goodbye at the right time, and Hua Jingyi also stood up and saw her out the door.

"Senior Sister, there should be quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators from outside in the market of Longhuan Island now, right?"

On the bustling street, Ling Changqing took Tang Qiuyao's arm and asked softly.

"Of course. The Ling family is now a newly promoted Jindan power. With its powerful strength, it will naturally be able to attract more capable independent cultivators to settle here."

Tang Qiuyao explained with a smile.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. This is an irrefutable truth in any time and space.

It is just like in the previous life, those elite talents with great knowledge and various wealthy people were willing to go to developed countries, simply because the psychology of admiring the strong is engraved in the bones of human beings.

Ever since the Ling family successfully digested the foundation of Longhuan Island and the news of Ling Qiyue becoming a Jindan Zhenren spread, many independent cultivators in the vast Feiyu Sea area came here to seek shelter in the market through various channels.

There are many talented people with special skills among these monks. Their arrival has undoubtedly promoted the prosperity of the market town, boosted its popularity, and brought many tangible and intangible benefits to the Ling family.

In addition to them, there are also many foreign maritime trade fleets and chamber of commerce organizations stationed on Longhuan Island, which in turn attracts more independent cultivators to gather.

If the Ling family can become the sole owner of the Feiyu Sea in the future, this prosperous situation will continue until they can stand shoulder to shoulder with a powerful force like the Hanyue Sect.

While chatting, Tang Qiuyao took Ling Changqing into an extremely magnificent, exquisite and grand palace.

Xianyin Pavilion, an upscale club that only receives wealthy monks.

The most famous among them are the female musicians, who not only have beautiful looks and temperament, but are also proficient in music and have many talents.

Music and elegant music are also one of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, but they are relatively unpopular.

A skilled musician can cleanse the soul of a monk, soothe his mind, eliminate his inner demons, calm his heart, etc. He has the great power to turn decay into magic.

Tang Qiuyao came here specially today, of course not for entertainment and relaxation, but to discuss long-term cooperation matters with the person in charge here.

After a while, the two of them were led up to the third floor by a maid and entered a quiet VIP room.

"...Junior Sister Tang, long time no see!"

An enchanting woman in a bright red dress and a veil covering her face walked towards me with light lotus steps. She was in the middle stage of foundation building.

"Senior Sister Meng, I'm sorry to bother you today."

Tang Qiuyao greeted with a smile.

"You are too polite, Junior Sister. We are old acquaintances, so there is no need to be polite. Let's sit down and chat first!"

The female cultivator named Meng smiled faintly and invited the two to take a seat gracefully. The maid beside them immediately served them spiritual tea and snacks.

Then, four female nuns in white, with bright eyes, white teeth, pure and innocent appearance, came in one after another, carrying musical instruments such as zithers, jade flutes, and flutes.

They are high-level musicians of Xianyin Pavilion. Their cultivation is at the seventh level of Qi training. They are also a relatively rare pair of twin sisters.

But just as they finished bowing and saluting, their expressions suddenly changed when they saw Ling Changqing's appearance.

"Oh it's you!"

The four musicians called out in unison, with inexplicably complicated looks in their eyes.

"Ok?"

Tang Qiuyao's expression changed slightly, and there was something wrong with the way she looked at Ling Changqing.

These four girls obviously knew Junior Brother, and their words seemed quite resentful. Could it be...

Ling Changqing's expression also changed. He put down the teacup and whispered:

"Senior Sister, please listen to my excuse... no, explanation!"

These four female musicians were exactly the female cultivators that Ling Changqing had met when he went to Xianyuan Pavilion for a blind date.

Now that his identity had been revealed by them on the spot, in front of Tang Qiuyao, one could imagine how Ling Changqing felt at the moment.
