Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 119 Ling Changqing: Senior sister will know in the future!

A soft, pale white light shone from the dome of the temple.

They were fist-sized pieces of unknown gemstones, densely embedded in the stone walls of the dome. There were hundreds of them, illuminating the spacious hall as bright as day.

Ling Changqing walked around the hall and picked out more than 20 Taoist puppets in relatively good condition, all of which were second-grade mid-to-low-quality items.

As for the first-level Taoist puppets, there were many more of them, but their combat power was too low compared to that of the foundation-building cultivators, so Ling Changqing did not make any unnecessary efforts.

After all, using Taoist puppets to fight also requires cultivators to concentrate on commanding and controlling them. When multiple Taoist puppets are dispatched at the same time, the consumption of spiritual power will be greater, so the more the better is not necessarily the case.

Of course, Ling Changqing's soul is much more powerful than that of ordinary foundation-building cultivators, so his ability to bear this burden is much stronger. It is not difficult for him to control ten or eight second-level puppets at the same time to fight the enemy.

"After we take these puppets back, we can let Ling Yuzhu take a look. With her help, repairing them won't be a problem."

Ling Qiyue said that a considerable number of the Taoist puppets she brought back several times before were repaired by Ling Yuzhu.

This beautiful elder woman is well versed in the art of mechanical puppets and is one of the few technical talents within the Ling family.

After building the foundation, Ling Yuzhu's level in this area has reached a new level, and he has become an indispensable mechanical puppeteer in the family.

She is not yet able to refine a second-level Taoist soldier puppet on her own, but if it is just repairing it, it is not a big problem.

"You can have this."

Ling Changqing recalled the hospitality Ling Yuzhu and her daughter had shown him last time, and had to admit that it was indeed...

I guess after I go back this time, I will have to go to their place again to keep the ten-day appointment.

After resting for a while, the two continued on their way.

The black stone corridors in the ruins are interconnected, with one or more forks in the road every few hundred steps.

There are also many luminous gems on the dome of the corridor, providing excellent lighting.

At first glance, all the corridors seem normal, but in fact, many intersections are full of hidden dangers.

If outsiders barge in without knowing their place, they may trigger unknown traps and restrictions, and whether they can survive depends entirely on luck.

……

At this moment, outside the Immortal Palace ruins.

By the huge reef, the glowing portal had long disappeared, and more than a dozen mysterious black figures swam over quietly from all directions.

Most of their auras were at the middle to late stages of foundation building, and the two guys in the lead were fake Dan Zhenren.

One of the guys took out a star-shaped magical instrument, lowered his head and fiddled with it for a while, and a hint of joy appeared in his hoarse voice:
"…This should be the place, right? The branch of the Huashen Sect's Daoist temple in Hanhai Youming City in the Middle Ages, I never thought it was hidden here."

"Well, send a message to the elders and have all the disciples come over as soon as possible and then go in together!"

Another fake Dan Zhenren said.

So before long, more dark figures came one after another, and soon there were hundreds of people gathered, some of whom even brought their spirit pets and war beasts.

“…So this is it? No wonder I felt that the spiritual energy fluctuations in the nearby seawater were not right!”

A tall, masked old man spoke in a deep voice. His powerful pressure shocked the whole audience, indicating that he had reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

The two fake Dan Zhenren explained the whole story above and cautiously speculated that the ruins of the immortal palace seemed to have shown signs of being opened not long ago.

"You mean... someone got there first?"

Elder Jindan spoke in a bad tone. His own organization had spent so much effort to find the ruins of this immortal palace, but now someone had plucked the peaches first. No one would be in a good mood.

"It hasn't been that long. They are probably still inside!"

One of the fake Dan Zhenren whispered.

Upon hearing this, Elder Jindan's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he waved his hand fiercely:

"Then hurry in, find them and kill them all! All the opportunities here belong to the organization!"

"Yes, elder!"

Many subordinates responded.

……

In the black stone corridor, Ling Changqing walked hand in hand with the beautiful woman beside him.

"... Senior Sister, there won't be anyone else who knows about this Immortal Mansion ruins, right?"

Ling Changqing suddenly asked.

Ling Qiyue hesitated for a moment before answering, "This possibility cannot be ruled out. I accidentally got the clue of the ruins of this immortal palace in an overseas market.

Later, after several years of hard work, we collected the tokens that led to the portal to the Immortal Palace ruins, and this made the journey possible."

In other words, the information about the ruins of the Immortal Palace is not top secret, and other independent cultivators and even certain forces may know of its existence.

But then again, Ling Qiyue has not discovered any other cultivators entering so far, so the opportunities in the core area of ​​the immortal palace ruins are most likely still intact.

"Perhaps... we should clear out all the opportunities in the ruins this time, so that other cultivators won't benefit from them in the future?"

Ling Changqing said thoughtfully.

The principle of "the longer the night, the more dreams you have" is easy to understand. With his personality, once he sees the opportunity, he must grasp it in the hands of himself or the people around him.

It would be absolutely unacceptable if other cultivators were allowed to come in and take advantage of the opportunity.

"Well said, so now it all depends on your performance!"

Ling Qiyue said with a smile, her confidence in Ling Changqing was as firm as ever, and she had no doubt that he could do it.

But before he could say anything, the floor tiles under his feet suddenly shook slightly, as if coming from a very far away place.

Ling Qiyue's expression changed slightly, and she quickly took out a palm-sized bronze mirror from her storage bag and activated it with her magic power.

"This magic weapon was also found in the ruins. It can show scenes from different areas of the Immortal Palace. The disadvantage is that it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't."

Ling Qiyue said this and tried several times before a vague image finally appeared on the mirror.

In the picture, several blurry black figures disappeared in a flash.

"Sure enough, an outsider just broke in!"

Ling Qiyue frowned and said, so the previous unusual movements should have been caused by those guys triggering the formation restrictions in the immortal palace ruins.

"Then what should we do now?"

Ling Changqing asked, not looking nervous at all.

Ling Qiyue said: "This is their first time breaking in, and they may not be familiar with the conditions inside the Immortal Mansion Ruins, so it is inevitable that they will encounter various dangers.

By the time they are able to get through the outer area, they must leave at least a dozen lives behind!
As for what happens next, it all depends on whether we move fast enough!"

Even if everything goes well, if those guys want to track down the two people's current location, they will have to pay a heavy price to get what they want.

"Okay, let's just do our own thing and ignore them for now."

Ling Changqing said.

Ling Qiyue nodded silently, secretly calculating the many hidden means in her hands. As long as there were no late Jindan strongmen in the opponent's team, she would be invincible. Of course, now was different from the past. Ling Qiyue felt that her greatest reliance should be the purple-clothed beautiful boy beside her.

As long as he is here, there is no need to worry about the situation falling apart.

The two continued walking hand in hand, and after passing no less than twenty intersections, the second huge gate appeared in sight.

Unlike the bronze door discovered last time, this door had a silver luster all over, and the patterns on it were more complex and detailed. Countless symbols as fine as sand were faintly visible on the surface of the door.

Even from a long distance, the invisible majestic aura emanating from the silver portal made Ling Changqing feel breathless.

The Epoch Star Palace in the sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly, and an imperceptible faint light spread out, easily eliminating most of the pressure.

"Is there any way to open the door?"

Ling Changqing asked softly.

Ling Qiyue took out a palm-sized, simple and unadorned silver token from her storage bag and said:

"Qiu Yao discovered this thing when we searched the outer area of ​​the ruins last time, but we were all injured at that time, so we didn't go any deeper!"

After hesitating for a moment, she handed the token to Ling Changqing:
"Junior brother, you have stronger luck and fortune. Perhaps if you try, you will have a greater chance of successfully opening the door, right?"

"Then let me do it!"

Ling Changqing did not refuse, took the silver token and walked towards the gate.

Ling Qiyue also followed closely beside him, with the Fenghuo Panyun Bell hanging above her head and a stack of talismans in her hands, concentrating on being alert to any movement around her.

After a while, the shining silver portal was within reach, and a groove in the central area was clearly visible, and its shape fit the token perfectly.

Ling Changqing held his breath and slowly inserted the token in his hand into the groove on the portal. It fit perfectly in an instant, and there was almost no trace left.

Slight vibrations came from the ground one after another, and the light of the silver portal dimmed quietly.

Then, the heavy door slowly opened from the center line and retreated into the walls on both sides.

Behind the huge gate, there is still a corridor, but it is more spacious and paved with unknown light silver stone slabs.

Ling Changqing observed for a while, then put his arm around the waist of the beautiful woman beside him and walked inside step by step.

The Epoch Star Palace in his sea of ​​consciousness lit up slightly, and some mysterious and obscure information quietly emerged and merged into his soul.

So in Ling Qiyue's eyes, the young man beside her walked and stopped, carefully avoiding the stone slabs with intricate patterns under his feet, and only stepped on the blank stone slabs.

Sometimes, Ling Changqing would pull her back without any warning, and then come back from another route a hundred steps later.

One fork in the road after another was left behind, and during the journey, he passed through many palace spaces, which were filled with various boxes and cages that were shining with spiritual light, as well as jade slips and books.

But Ling Changqing was unmoved. He walked straight past with the beauty without even looking at her.

"These are extremely vicious traps. Once you fall into them, it's impossible to escape. Leave them to the guys behind you!"

Ling Changqing explained that according to the perception of the Era Star Palace, these places were filled with a dark aura of curse and the terrifying murderous intent was as solid as a substance. Even the Yuanying True Lord would have to deal with it with caution.

"Little Junior Brother, how did you figure that out?"

After walking for more than an hour, Ling Qiyue finally couldn't help but ask.

“I can’t tell, it’s just a simple feeling, I feel that the atmosphere here is a bit ominous.

As for the specific reasons, you will know them in the future, Senior Sister!"

Ling Changqing said that the secret of the Era Star Palace could not be revealed, so he could only answer it vaguely.

"……Yeah?"

Ling Qiyue frowned slightly and looked at Ling Changqing with her beautiful big eyes in confusion for a while, and found that she could not see this guy clearly anymore.

But now is not the time. When I get out in the future, I must drag Tang Qiuyao along and "force a confession" from him severely.

After walking for a while, the view in front of them suddenly opened up and a picturesque courtyard of more than ten acres in radius appeared at their feet.

"There are no traps here, so just go in, okay?"

Ling Changqing didn't stop at all, and walked into the courtyard with Ling Qiyue in his arm.

At the same time, the scene behind him changed quietly, and the silver corridor he came from completely disappeared.

The courtyard is filled with abundant spiritual energy and a refreshing fragrance, just like a third-grade top-grade cave temple.

"what is that?"

Ling Qiyue said softly, pointing ten steps away.

On a jade table, there was a scroll of jade slips that shone brightly, and it was completely spread out.

"You can go and observe, but it's best not to touch it with your hands."

Ling Changqing looked at it and said, there is also some black air on the jade slip, and there will be unpredictable troubles if you touch it rashly.

So the two of them came to the table, leaned over slightly, and began to concentrate on reading the contents recorded on the jade slip.

The font on the jade slip was not difficult to recognize. Ling Changqing memorized the short 2,000 words in a blink of an eye.

"... Taiyin Yuehua Refining Spirit Heart Sutra? This should be one of the sect's skills in Hanhai Youming City, but unfortunately there is only the first volume!"

Ling Qiyue's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief and obvious regret.

The Taiyin Yuehua Soul-Refining Heart Sutra, as the name suggests, is a rare manual of exercises that can train a cultivator's soul, strengthen the original power of the soul, and resist spiritual attacks.

"In terms of grade, it should be a top-grade Xuan-level technique, right? Unfortunately, there is only half of it, so it can only be considered a mid-grade Xuan-level technique at best..."

Ling Changqing pondered for a moment, not feeling disappointed at all. This was much better than the technique he and Ling Qiyue were currently practicing.

A moment later, the two had completely memorized the contents of the jade slip along with the aura of Taoism on it, imprinting them in their sea of ​​consciousness.

"It's a great harvest. Even if we leave the Immortal Palace now, this trip will be worth it!"

Ling Qiyue smiled and said that she had adjusted her mentality now.

There are four grades of heaven, earth, black and yellow. The martial arts manuals that those forces at the Jindan level can possess are at most lower-grade black. Middle-grade ones are extremely rare.

Therefore, for the Ling family, this martial art is of great significance and can serve as an important part of the family's heritage in the future.

"Keep looking, there should be more than one or two good things!"

Ling Changqing said that this place might be the former residence of some powerful person, so every corner is worth seeing.

"Let's act together, don't separate!"

Ling Qiyue put her arms around him and spoke with a slightly blushing face.

She was worried that there would be unexpected traps, and without Ling Changqing's extraordinary luck, she was afraid that she would not be able to withstand it.

Ling Changqing naturally would not refuse. The two of them searched the courtyard carefully, then walked up the stairs and went into the wing room to continue checking.

After a while, Ling Changqing made a new discovery.
