Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

Qingyun Immortal City, City Lord's Mansion.

Zhou Ling followed a young attendant into a very imposing hall.

In addition to him, there were many cultivators coming in and out of the hall, and their cultivation was not low, mainly with Jindan cultivation.

There were very few foundation-building cultivators.

The attendant arranged Zhou Ling to wait in a seat.

"Zhou Zhizheng, please wait a moment, I will go to report to the city lord!"

The attendant said respectfully, and walked towards the inner hall.

Zhou Ling looked around and saw that there were still many cultivators waiting in the hall. Obviously, they were also like him, coming to pay homage to the city lord.

The Taoist Alliance implemented the Immortal City system, and each Immortal City would appoint a Immortal City Lord.

The city lord was responsible for managing many affairs of the Immortal City and was at the top level.

Of course, Zhou Ling is now the Tiangongsi Zhizheng, and his rank is only half a level lower than that of the Immortal City Lord.

And the purpose of coming to the City Lord's Mansion this time is to exchange for spiritual land.

One is to expand the family spiritual land.

After all, with the expansion of the workshop, the ten acres of land is not enough.

Secondly, he is ready to start the work of establishing Lingxiao Sect as promised to his master.

Of course, it is not so easy to establish a sect. Connections, strength and resources are all indispensable.

Fortunately, he is not in a hurry. He will take the spiritual land first and plan the rest later.

Qingyun Fairy City is the core fairy city in the western part of Qingyang Fairyland.

As long as the Zhou family can gain a foothold here, there will be no worries about the opportunity to take off in the future.

In addition to his reputation in Tiangong Division and Daoyuan, as long as he spends more time, he can lay a good foundation for the family.

Originally, he did not have too many plans for these, but after this beast tide.

He also realized that his strength was still insufficient.

He still had to speed up the improvement.

"Zhou Zhizheng is here, I am sorry for not welcoming you."

At this time, Zhou Ling saw that in the lobby, a burly and ruddy middle-aged man came over.

It was the Lord Weng of Qingyun Fairy City.

Although City Lord Weng did not personally attend the last Zhou Family celebration, he also sent someone to deliver a gift.

From the aura emanating from him, Zhou Ling, with the help of [Intermediate Observation], could tell that he was in the late Nascent Soul stage.

"City Lord Weng, please forgive me for coming here in a presumptuous way."

Zhou Ling stood up and bowed, smiling.

Other cultivators who were waiting in line to meet City Lord Weng also stood up and bowed to him.

They couldn't help but show curiosity about Zhou Ling.

He was only at the foundation building stage, so why did City Lord Weng come out to greet him in person?

They all had to wait patiently for the city lord to summon them.

"Haha, Zhou Zhizheng is here, it's a great honor for me to come in, please come in."

City Lord Weng laughed.

Although Zhou Ling was ranked after the others, he had no scruples and invited Zhou Ling into the hall.

With Zhou Ling's status, he naturally had to meet him first.

After all, he was the Tiangong Division Zhizheng.

"It turns out to be Zhou Zhizheng from the Tiangong Division!"

"No wonder City Lord Weng came to greet him in person!"

"Becoming Zhizheng with the foundation-building cultivation is unique in the Dao League!"

Soon, people also knew Zhou Ling's identity.

There was no doubt about City Lord Weng's extraordinary reception.

Zhou Ling followed City Lord Weng to a gorgeous lobby, where City Lord Weng personally brewed spiritual tea and entertained Zhou Ling.

"Zhou Zhizheng, this is the Chunyun tea just picked in early spring this year. How does it taste?"

With a light wave of his hand, an ancient tea cup fell in front of Zhou Ling, and City Lord Weng said with a faint smile.

"Fourth-level Chunyun tea, it's really good stuff!"

Zhou Ling was a little flattered and picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"This year's Chunyun tea is of good quality, but the output is a little less!"

After taking a sip of the spiritual tea, City Lord Weng smiled.

He was also very satisfied with Zhou Ling's humble attitude. It was rare that he had such cultivation and achievements at such a young age, but without a trace of arrogance.

After a few simple greetings, Zhou Ling got straight to the point and said, "City Lord, this time I come here to exchange for some spiritual land."

"What grade of spiritual land does Zhou Zhizheng want? I wonder what area he wants?"

City Lord Weng said slowly, as if he had foreseen it.

As the city lord, he was naturally well-informed.

Zhou Ling led everyone to support Anyang Fairy City, and this matter was also passed on by him.

So he also knew the battle situation in Anyue County clearly.

As the Zhizheng of the Tiangong Division, Zhou Ling actually killed two fourth-level monsters in the fight against monsters this time, and won the first place in military merit.

Even if he was in the late stage of Yuanying, he might not be able to kill two fourth-level monsters.

With such a cultivation level and such a powerful record, Zhou Ling was destined to attract the attention of the top leaders of the Dao League.

When he heard the news, he was also a little unbelievable.

But this is indeed a battle report from the Dao League. This is intelligence from within the Dao League. Only a few high-level officials such as the Lord of Xiancheng City have received it.

So it is impossible to fake it.

So it can be predicted that Zhou Ling's achievements in the future will definitely not be low.

When he heard that Zhou Ling was coming, he also went to greet him in person.

To express his intention to make friends.

"I want to exchange for the spiritual land around the Zhou family now, is it possible?"

Zhou Ling asked.

"Spiritual land around the Zhou family?"

"Let me check it out first!"

Lord Weng smiled and said, then his mind moved, a jade token appeared in his hand, and he lightly tapped his finger, and spiritual power was injected into it.

A faint white light flashed, and a map appeared in front of him.

There were various color marks on the map.

"There are more than 100 acres of third-level spiritual land near your Zhou family, which were originally reserved for Xuanyuan Daoyuan."

"If you want to buy it, I can give it to you!"

City Lord Weng pointed to the area where the Zhou family was and nodded.

"Thank you, City Lord!"

Zhou Ling glanced at the map and bowed to thank him.

Then he asked again, "I wonder how many third-level spiritual lands I can exchange for my 4,000 military merits now?"

Although he had 5,000 military merits, he planned to keep 1,000 military merits first, after all, he had to exchange them for some precious resources.

Like the Jade Ring Golden Pill, the 4th-level magic array, etc.

They can't be used up all at once.

"With your status as a righteous person, plus the great merit you have made this time, 4,000 military merits can be exchanged for 60 acres of spiritual land, and there is an additional 10 acres of spiritual land reward, a total of 70 acres!"

City Lord Weng said with a smile.

If it were someone else, it would naturally be impossible to obtain this piece of spiritual land.

Even if he agreed, Xuanyuan Taoist Temple would not agree.

But Zhou Ling was a teacher at the Taoist Temple, so there was no problem with this matter.

"Seventy acres."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Zhou Ling bowed his hands to thank him.

Seventy acres is more than enough.

Among them, Lingxiao Sect reserved 40 acres of land.

The remaining 30 acres belonged to the family, which was more than enough.

"Okay, you go to the Affairs Hall later and make a connection!"

Lord Weng said again.

"Okay!"

Zhou Ling smiled and replied.

The matter of the spiritual land has been settled, and the rest will be easy to handle.

"Zhou Zhizheng, I have another request!"

Lord Weng pondered for a moment and said.

"Lord, you are too polite. I am all ears if you have anything to say!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ling was stunned for a moment, bowed his hands and smiled.

"My youngest daughter, Weng Lanyue, is nine years old this year. She wants to worship you as her teacher. I wonder if Zhizheng is willing to accept her!"

Lord Weng's face became serious and he said so.

If Zhou Ling continues to develop like this, he will have a bright future.

Naturally, he has to build a good relationship with Zhou Ling.

And marriage and apprenticeship are undoubtedly the best options.

In terms of marriage, there is no suitable candidate, so he chooses to let his daughter worship Zhou Ling as a master.

"Apprenticeship?"

Zhou Ling did not expect it to be this matter.

He immediately asked, "I wonder what kind of skills your daughter wants to practice?"

He is now in two Taoist temples, and there are hundreds of disciples taught, but there are only three real disciples under his name.

After all, accepting disciples is not a simple ceremony, but an extremely sacred thing.

If you accept a disciple, you must be responsible for teaching it well.

And he has a lot of things to do now, so he doesn't have so much time to teach his disciples.

So naturally he has to ask clearly.

"My daughter is a top-grade gold and fire spiritual root. She is quite talented, but it doesn't match the old man's practice method!"

"So, I want to take her as your disciple to see if she can practice the way of refining weapons!"

City Lord Weng smiled and said!

With his connections and his daughter's talent, there is no worry at all.

Originally, he planned to let his daughter enter the Jiutian Sword Academy in the future, and then worship Dean Gong as a teacher.

But his daughter was not interested in swordsmanship since she was a child, but liked to make pills and refine weapons.

So, he simply let her become Zhou Ling's disciple.

"Gold and fire top-grade spiritual roots!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ling was also a little surprised.

Such talent can be regarded as an absolutely top existence in Qingyun Fairy City.

Since the talent is so outstanding, and Lord Weng said so, he naturally couldn't refuse, and nodded and said, "Lord Weng, can you let your daughter go to Zhou's house later? I will see if she is suitable for my lineage of skills?"

Although the talent is good, it is still necessary to understand whether it is suitable.

"Okay, thank you for your help!"

Lord Weng nodded with a smile.

With this incident as an opportunity, the relationship between the two became familiar.

Lord Weng also ordered people to complete the procedures for Zhou Ling to exchange for the spiritual land.

And gave Zhou Ling two kilograms of Chunyun tea.

This Chunyun spiritual tea has a great effect on the soul.

Zhou Ling also bowed his hands to express his gratitude.

······.

After returning to Zhou's house, Zhou Ling invited Deacon Luo to come.

"Deacon Luo, this is the spiritual land I just obtained from the City Lord's Mansion. I have to trouble you to set up the magic circle!"

Zhou Ling handed a jade slip to Deacon Luo and said with a smile.

This jade slip is the boundary range of his spiritual land now.

He planned to let Deacon Luo arrange the boundary in advance, explore it, and then make plans.

"You are too polite, this is my job."

Deacon Luo smiled slightly and took the jade slip.

He injected his consciousness into it.

After returning from Anyang Fairy City, his recognition of Zhou Ling also increased a few points.

He is young, but he is calm and steady, and his strength is even more powerful, which is somewhat unexpected.

"Deacon Luo, I want to plan this area, the eastern part, for the sect."

"The western part will be reserved for the family."

"And the main thing in the sect is the construction of the sword field. How do you think we should plan it specifically?"

Zhou Ling said slowly again.

Zhou Ling's words made Deacon Luo stunned. Looking at Zhou Ling, Deacon Luo asked with a puzzled look, "Zhizheng wants to establish a sect?"

Establishing a sect is not like establishing a family. It requires the approval of many procedures of the Dao League.

It's not that easy.

And what the sect needs is the inheritance of the skills.

Where would Zhou Ling go to inherit these skills?

At the same time, given Zhou Ling's current situation, with the Taoist Academy teaching and the Tiangong Division in charge, what time would there be to run the sect?

So he naturally had doubts.

"This is Master's wish, and I will naturally fulfill it!"

Zhou Ling smiled.

Hearing this, Deacon Luo nodded. He had also encountered Zi Ling before, and with his cultivation at the peak of the Golden Core, he couldn't tell the difference.

I know it must be of extraordinary origin.

Zhou Ling's achievements were probably inseparable from the teachings of this master.

As his consciousness withdrew from the jade slip, he had determined the area where Zhou Ling would exchange spiritual land this time.

Then, he moved his hand, and a formation disk appeared.

Following the telekinetic spell, eight black formation flags flew into the air, and then poured into the ground from various directions.

For a moment, within a few miles, a looming mask of light emerged, covering the Zhou family.

At the same time, streaks of light and shadow appeared on the array disk in Deacon Luo's hand.

Through [Intermediate Observation], Zhou Ling knew that Deacon Luo was investigating the situation in the spiritual land.

These lights and shadows are topographic maps.

As for the specific situation, only the formation master can understand.

He waited patiently.

After another stick of incense, the formation disk in Deacon Luo's hand returned to calm.

"Zhi Zheng, the golden evil spirit contained in this area to the west is more intense and is more suitable for establishing a sword dojo."

"The area to the east is rich in fire evil spirit and can be used in the workshop!"

Deacon Luo pointed to different areas in the spiritual land and introduced them to Zhou Ling.

"good."

"Then please ask Deacon Luo to make some plans."

Zhou Ling nodded.

"Forty acres of spiritual land are used as sect land, ten acres of which are used as sword dojo, which is more than enough!"

"The other twenty acres are used to build sect buildings, such as the meeting hall, scripture library, affairs hall, etc.!"

“The remaining ten acres will be reserved for subsequent development!”

Deacon Luo roughly explained his views to Zhou Ling.

"Give me the plan and I'll ask the master about it!"

Zhou Ling nodded and said.

Although the master has let him make the decision, he still has to let the master know about this kind of thing.

Deacon Luo nodded, and immediately injected his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip, and began to formulate a plan.

······.

At noon, Zhou Ling came to the master's courtyard and handed the sect's plan planned by Deacon Luo to the master for review.

"You can just make the decision on this kind of thing, I have no objection!"

Zi Ling did not look at the jade slips and let Zhou Ling make his own decision.

"The key to the future of the sect is the sword dojo. As long as there are no problems with the sword dojo, the rest will not have any impact!"

Zi Ling warned again.

"Yes, Master!"

"In terms of the sword dojo, I want to integrate the third-level Five Elements Sword Stone and the Lei Gang Sword Stone first?"

"As for the disciple's early training, he can cooperate with the puppet training!"

Zhou Ling asked.

These are all he currently has.

Hearing this, Zi Ling nodded and said, "From now on, Lingxiao Sect will use the Five Elements Sword Art as its inherited sword technique."

"As for the skills, you don't have to worry, I have a lot of them in my hands."

"However, our Lingxiao Sect has always been strict in accepting disciples. We would rather lack than overwhelm, so you must keep them in check!"

"Yes, Master!"

Zhou Ling replied respectfully.
