Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 99: Beacon Fire Panyun Bell

In the council hall.

"...I agree on this matter on behalf of the organization."

Shen Tuhong, with a genial look, said slowly and calmly: "Fellow Daoist Ling knows the value of a defensive first-grade magic weapon.

I have a scroll of illustrations here, which contains the information about many magical weapons sealed in the organization's strategic warehouse. Fellow Daoist, please pick one for yourself!"

As he spoke, he took out a jade scroll shrouded in spiritual light and handed it to the maid beside him, who then presented it to Ling Qiyue who was sitting in the main seat.

Ling Qiyue took the jade slip and slowly unfolded it, browsing it with her spiritual sense.

Most of the contents in the jade slip have been blocked by magical prohibitions, and only defensive first-grade magic weapons are left for observation, and there are hundreds of them.

Ling Qiyue frowned slightly, compared and weighed the options briefly, and then made a choice.

It was a first-grade magic weapon called Fenghuo Panyun Bell. It had considerable defensive power and could easily protect the entire family headquarters after being used.

After learning of her decision, Shentu Hong nodded and said gently:

"Fellow Daoist Ling is indeed very lucky. This magic weapon happens to be stored on the Tianzhou Tower ship and can be retrieved soon."

If it is a magic weapon stored in the warehouse of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, Ling Qiyue will have to wait for several months before she can get it, after all, the round trip journey is really far.

Shentu Hong turned around and gave Xue Qingtan a few instructions, and she stood up, apologized and left.

The Chamber of Commerce’s Tianzhou fleet is waiting outside Longhuan Island and can travel back and forth in a moment.

"Okay, apart from this most important transaction, we also need to purchase these resources. Can the Chamber of Commerce provide them?"

Ling Qiyue continued to ask.

The most important thing for the Ling family at this stage is to cultivate the new generation, and all the necessary resources must be prepared.

In addition, many of the resources needed for foundation-building cultivators to improve their cultivation also need to be purchased from outside.

After all, although there are many foundation-building cultivators in the Ling family now, most of them are in the early stages of foundation-building, which is definitely not enough.

Shentu Hong smiled and said, "The demand for these resources is quite large, but given the scale of our organization's warehouse reserves, it is not difficult to provide them in full.

But this time the payment cannot be paid on credit, you must settle it immediately!"

Although the resources sold by the Ling family were of great value, Ling Qiyue placed an order to purchase more things, so the price difference was quite exaggerated.

Ling Qiyue said: "This is not a problem. We will make up for the shortfall with sufficient spiritual stones."

"That would be the best!"

Shentu Hong said with satisfaction that being able to do such a big business with the Ling family would also be of great help to his performance evaluation.

No chamber of commerce would dislike customers with huge demands and who are happy to pay.

A moment later, Xue Qingtan came back, followed by two masked guards, both of whom had the cultivation level of Jiadan Zhenren.

With a solemn expression, she held an exquisite jade box in her hand and carefully presented it to Shentu Hong.

Shentu Hong opened the jade box and examined it. After confirming that it was correct, he smiled and said:

"Fellow Daoist Ling, this is the Fenghuo Panyun Bell you wanted. Please come and inspect it!"

This time it was Tang Qiuyao who stood up, stepped forward to take the jade box, and then handed it to Ling Qiyue after checking it.

On the golden satin base in the jade box, there lies a palm-sized, awe-inspiring, exquisite little bell with gorgeous red glow and flowing clouds inside.

There is also a jade slip next to the small bell, which records the methods of sacrifice, refining and control.

Ling Qiyue picked up the small bell and injected a little magic power into it. The bell body instantly lit up. A majestic pressure filled the interior of the hall, and the low bell sound echoed at the soul level.

"This thing is good!"

Ling Qiyue nodded slightly and carefully explored it several times with her spiritual sense. After confirming that there were no flaws or hidden dangers, she began the preliminary ritual of recognizing the master.

Shentu Hong said gently: "If Fellow Daoist Ling finds this magic weapon useful, you can buy it directly in the future."

"Well, let's talk about it in a few years!"

Ling Qiyue responded calmly that with her current wealth, she might be able to afford a magic weapon.

But this will undoubtedly affect the family's subsequent development plans, and it will also make it easy for outsiders to learn of one's true strength, so it is better to be reserved.

After handing over the magic weapons, the next thing was the transaction of bulk resources. Xue Qingtan made another trip and took all the things that Ling Qiyue specifically asked for, filling up several large-capacity space magic weapons.

After inspecting the goods, Ling Qiyue took out enough spirit stones based on the final bill and gave them to Shen Tuhong, and the task was completed.

Xue Qingtan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Even though the Ling family was a newly-emerged Jindan force, its strength growth rate was far faster than that of the Mu family and other forces in the Feiyu Sea.

If the Feiyu Sea area is really unified by the Ling family in the future, it will be the Ling family's own good fortune, which others cannot envy.

Finally, Ling Qiyue, as the head of the family, hosted a banquet for Shen Tuhong and Xue Qingtan. "Fellow Daoist Ling, I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if you..."

As the glasses clinked, Shentu Hong suddenly spoke.

Ling Qiyue's eyes flickered as she said calmly, "What do you want, Fellow Daoist Shentu? Why not tell me?"

Shen Tuhong smiled and said, "I think that since your strength and foundation exceed our expectations, it is enough for the Chamber of Commerce to set up a branch here permanently. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

As long as the Chamber of Commerce has a branch on Longhuan Island, it will be more convenient for both family members and outsiders to buy and sell various resources.

Moreover, among the many forces in the entire Feiyu Sea, there is no other force worthy of the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce to set up a branch except the Ling family, not even the Mu family.

As long as the news spreads, Longhuan Island will undoubtedly become more attractive to those foreign cultivators, and it will also be easier to recruit certain talents for the family.

After a little thought, Ling Qiyue figured out the pros and cons. This was naturally a good thing for Longhuan Island at the moment.

The Ling family does not need to pay too much, they just need to provide a suitable piece of land in the market.

"Since you are interested, I will agree to this."

Ling Qiyue agreed readily.

Xue Qingtan's beautiful eyes lit up slightly. She had not received any information in advance. She thought that this was Shen Tuhong's own decision. Of course, the other party had the authority to do so.

So, the person in charge of this branch should not have been decided yet? Should I try to get the position?

Shentu Hong chuckled, drank the wine in the cup, and looked at Ling Changqing who was sitting next to Tang Qiuyao.

After thinking for a while, Shentu Hong continued:
"Mr. Ling has great potential for the future. Our Chamber of Commerce can consider providing you with a resource loan with favorable terms. Would you like to consider it?"

Xue Qingtan smiled and added: "Young man, you are already a foundation-building cultivator now, so the amount of resources will be higher, and the repayment period will be more generous, fifty years, seventy years will be no problem!"

Ling Changqing was slightly startled, and shook his head, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but I don't need anything right now, I'll talk to you when I need it in the future!"

Xue Qingtan had tested his attitude last time. Now that he has successfully built his foundation, the loan amount will surely increase significantly and the terms will be more favorable.

However, Ling Changqing did not like the feeling of being in debt, especially to an unfathomable organization like the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce. Once he was really trapped in it, he would probably never be able to get rid of it for the rest of his life.

"Well, let's talk about it later."

Shen Tu Hong did not insist. After his name was added into the Era Star Palace by Ling Changqing, his liking for the purple-clothed young man had quietly increased.

As long as it does not harm the interests of the Chamber of Commerce and himself, he is willing to give Ling Changqing some care and convenience.

Tang Qiuyao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she seemed to change the subject inadvertently:
"Fellow Daoist Shentu, is there any new news from Hanyuezhou recently?"

The closest major force to Feiyu Sea is Hanyue Continent, so it is normal for her to pay attention to this.

Shentu Hong pondered and said, "This is true, their third Jindan Zhenren has been born.

But the headmaster Fang Chengkun was seriously injured in the battle with Fu Yuezhou and is currently recuperating in seclusion. I don’t know if he can recover.”

Ling Qiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously a little surprised: "So the war between them has reached this point?"

Even the headmaster was seriously injured. This war will probably not end anytime soon unless one of the sides is completely defeated.

Of course, there is more than one Jindan force in Fu Yuezhou, and the overall strength is definitely greater than that of Han Yuezhou.

If they didn't have their own thoughts and were not constantly fighting openly and secretly, how would Hanyuezhou have a chance?
Shen Tuhong smiled and said, "Under the current situation, both sides can only continue to waste time. If we want to completely determine the winner, it will probably take decades, right?"

Ling Changqing seemed to be thinking about something. The size, spiritual vein grade and resource accumulation of Fu Yuezhou were all better than those of Han Yuezhou. If it had not been in a state of fragmentation for a long time, it would have unified the surrounding waters long ago.

But it’s better this way. As long as Hanyuezhou and that side are busy, the attention will not be diverted to Feiyu Sea.

Unfortunately, the Ling family will not be able to produce a second Jindan Zhenren in the short term. Otherwise, they could really consider unifying the Feiyu Sea and then plotting to establish a base in Hanyue Continent.

After the banquet, Shentu Hong did not plan to stay long and said goodbye to Ling Qiyue at the right time.

As for the establishment of a permanent branch of the Chamber of Commerce, since Xue Qingtan volunteered, he agreed and allocated her the corresponding resources and manpower.

After everything was arranged, Shen Tu Hong returned to the Tianzhou fleet and ordered them to go to the territory of the next force. Ling Qiyue brought Tang Qiuyao and Ling Changqing to see him off.

Only after watching the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce's Tianzhou fleet sail away and gradually disappear into the sky did Ling Qiyue breathe a sigh of relief.

"Senior sister, can we continue to work in the sea tomorrow?"

Ling Changqing looked around and asked Ling Qiyue quietly with his spiritual power.

With a genuine magic weapon at hand and his own luck and fortune increasing, his safety should be almost certain, if not foolproof.

From now on, not to mention the many precious resources on the seabed, even the underwater spirit stone deposit can be taken as they please by the three of them.

"No hurry, let's arrange the things at home first."

Ling Qiyue responded and took him and Tang Qiuyao back to her own boudoir, the embroidery building.
