Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 296 Xianyin Pavilion: You Might as Well Marry More

Linsha Island.

At the top of the mountains, in a newly built manor, hundreds of beautiful women in gorgeous dresses, with bright eyes and white teeth are listening to the owner's sermon.

Their clothes were a little thin, their snow-white skin was clearly visible, their black hair was as black as ink, their facial features were delicate and beautiful, and their clear big eyes were full of concentration.

These are the girls with the most outstanding qualities in all aspects among the last batch of new recruits selected. Now they are personally trained and guided by the head of the family, Ling Changqing.

Behind a ten-foot-long sandalwood desk carved with dragons and phoenixes, Ling Changqing, dressed in purple and with red lips and white teeth, sat upright. His voice, cold but majestic, echoed slowly in the hall.

As the head of the family, Ling Changqing has a lot of things to worry about on a daily basis, so he does not often guide the new and younger generations of the family in their cultivation, unless they are his own fellow Taoists, then they are worth his extra attention.

In the crowd, Bai Shuangqi lowered her head and pulled together her lace embroidered collar that seemed too low. Her exquisite bodice in bright red with gold patterns outlined her bottomless snow-white ravines.

Although she had been at the family headquarters for quite some time, she, who came from an ordinary fishing family, still felt a little shy about her overly bold and daring clothing, especially her underwear.

Fortunately, all the sisters around her were like this, and the key was that the head of the family liked her very much, so she gradually adapted to it.

After writing down the key tips for cultivation on the jade slip in front of her, Bai Shuangqi let out a light breath and glanced out the window with her head tilted.

The feng shui here is excellent. Looking out through the light curtain of the formation at the edge of the manor, the magnificent mountains and rivers unfold like a scroll, filled with spiritual energy, showing a unique natural landscape.

It is said that Ling Changqing himself was very satisfied with the scenery here, so he ordered people to build this manor, and when he was free, he would bring his beauties here to stay for a while.

If you stand on the top of the peak, you can see two majestic main mountain ranges standing in the north and south, shrouded in clouds and mist.

On the vast plain at the foot of the mountain, several jade-belt-like rivers meander through the east and west, giving rise to countless large and small tributaries, and the clear waters reflect the sky.

For any Nascent Soul force, this is a rare Feng Shui treasure land. If it can produce a fifth-order spiritual vein in the future, it will be qualified to be the foundation of a Divine Transformation force.

More than an hour later, Ling Changqing put down the jade slip and book in his hand, and glanced at the group of female cultivators who were sitting upright in front of him with enchanting and beautiful figures.

They also looked back at him lovingly, with a hint of passion in their beautiful eyes. Anyway, most of these girls already knew their future destination, so naturally they were not so reserved and fearful towards him.

"...Okay, let's stop here for today!"

He said gently: "From now on, everyone can move freely, but they cannot leave the manor at will."

"Yes, master."

The female cultivators agreed obediently, and when Ling Changqing got up and left the flower hall, they completely relaxed and began to chat.

Ling Changqing turned around the corridor and came to an octagonal stone pavilion with ease and sat down, looking towards the distance of several dozen feet.

The biting and cold mountain wind whistled past, blowing on the green light curtain of the formation, stirring up some ripples.

The top of the peak is actually thousands of feet high in the sky, and the highest clouds are only at the height of halfway up the mountain. Therefore, the high-altitude air flow here is not only extremely cold, but the wind speed is also extremely strong. Low-level cultivators dare not set foot here at will.

It has been ten years since returning from Qinghao Continent. The situation in Yuzhou's immortal cultivation world has calmed down temporarily, but things in Shunzhou are not peaceful.

The forces of several surrounding states had already united, with Brahma Pure Land as the leader, and dispatched a large number of powerful men to launch several tentative attacks on the Yuanshi Demon Palace.

The Yuanshi Demon Palace certainly would not shrink its neck and take a beating, and fought back without showing any weakness. The current result is that both sides are evenly matched and neither can do anything to the other.

Now the two sides are still in a state of confrontation, but the top leaders on both sides have gradually lost their patience. The outbreak of a full-scale war may only require a tiny fuse.

However, due to the long distance, Yuzhou has not been affected yet. Although forces such as the Yu Family, Luhua Palace, Shengyu Immortal Dynasty, and Liuying Family have joined the alliance, their disciples have not had the opportunity to go to the battlefield yet.

Ling Changqing knew very well that all-out war would come sooner or later, and this was the inevitable fate of this world.

From his point of view, there is no need to have too many ideas now. Just focus on running the family. Nothing else matters.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Changqing's mind sank deep into his sea of ​​consciousness and began to communicate with Gong Ling.

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

【Bone age: 116/2940】

【Cultivation: Middle Nascent Soul Stage】

【Luck:440+919】

【Fortune: 433+736】

【Physique:160】

【Root bone: 175】

【Comprehension: 197】

[Soul: 377]

[Dan Dao: 0/160000 (fourth-level medium quality)]

[Talisman: 0/160000 (fourth-level medium quality)]

[Array: 0/160000 (fourth-level medium quality)]

[Weapon: 0/160000 (fourth-level medium quality)]

[Heavenly Secret Numbers: 0/200000 (Fourth-level mid-quality)]

[Main cultivation method: Five Elements Return to Origin Secret Code (Second Level) 70145/80000]

[Main cultivation technique: Taiyin Yuehua Refining Spirit Heart Sutra (fifth level) 166/80000]

[Noble: Luo Qi Tianjun/Ji Minghui/Ji Xuanchen/Xia Qingying/Luo Du/]

[Daoist Companions: Qin Mengxuan/Ling Qiyue/Luo Qingxuan/Xue Qingtan/Meng Feiyu/Su Qinglian/Yu Ruoshuang]

[Taoist Companions: Bai Qingyi/Shangguan Qingying/Liuying Ziying/Cen Xuanyi/Mu Yunxiu/Mu Xinlan…]

The opportunity gained from the Hongmeng Temple, coupled with the diligent double cultivation with the harem girls day and night, made Ling Changqing's promotion to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul significantly earlier. There were breakthroughs in the Taiyin Yuehua Refining Heart Sutra and the Langhuan Tianyuan Secret Code. The former was to increase and strengthen the essence of the soul, and the latter was to increase the total amount and purity of mana.

The remaining several main cultivation techniques have all been improved to varying degrees, mainly due to the effect of sacrificing one's lifespan.

Moreover, at present, elixirs, talismans, weapons and arrays combined with the art of divination can all be upgraded to the highest grade, provided that the life span is sufficient.

Because the total amount of his mana and the purity and concentration of his mana far exceed that of an ordinary middle Nascent Soul cultivator, and because he has many spiritual treasures at his disposal, he now has no pressure in dealing with cultivators in the late or peak Nascent Soul stage.

Perhaps only a cultivator at the level of Divine Transformation can guarantee to suppress Ling Changqing. After all, at this point, the difficulty of cross-border challenges has increased sharply, and no matter how monstrous a genius is, it will not be able to do anything.

However, if the Epoch Star Palace took action, coupled with Ling Changqing's supreme luck and fortune, the situation would be different.

"The late Nascent Soul stage... it may not be that easy to advance smoothly. If there is no great opportunity, you have to endure for at least another two or three hundred years?"

Ling Changqing muttered to himself, but he was not particularly anxious in his heart.

"Okay, let's upgrade the Divine Art to the fourth-order upper level first. The rest of the arts can be put aside for now!"

Ling Changqing gave instructions to Gong Ling.

"Okay, this will require you to spend 1,900 years of your lifespan, Master. Are you sure you want to upgrade?"

"Improve it!"

Ling Changqing said that with the further recovery of the Era Star Palace, the consumption of lifespan has also decreased. If it was in the early stage of Nascent Soul, the cost should be two thousand years of lifespan.

A ball of chaotic Taoist fire enveloped Ling Changqing, and his lifespan melted rapidly like snow under high temperature, with most of it cut off in the blink of an eye.

【Bone age: 116/1040】

[Heavenly Secret Numbers: 0/300000 (Fourth-level upper grade)]

As for the four arts of elixir, talisman, weapon and formation, Ling Changqing planned to wait and see and not rush to improve them as he did not have enough life span.

"Have you recovered some of your abilities?"

Ling Changqing said to Gong Ling.

"Well, I have recovered a little, but not much. After all, it is only a small realm improvement."

Gong Ling responded.

Other abilities are fine, but the ability to "change fate against the will of heaven" can only be used twice a month, for a maximum of fifteen people each time, and the price is Ling Changqing's 100-year lifespan.

In addition, the space of the blessed land of the Era Star Palace has been expanded again, now reaching a radius of eighty miles, and the level of spiritual energy is equivalent to that of a fifth-grade mid-level spiritual vein.

In this way, it can fully satisfy the needs of many Taoist companions in the state of transformation of spirit to live and practice in it.

After a long time, Ling Changqing ended his communication with Gong Ling and opened his eyes again.

The sound of gentle footsteps was heard, and Cen Xuanyi, who was wearing a skirt as white as snow and was bright and beautiful, walked in gracefully. Behind her were several beautiful girls, who were holding various snacks and fruit plates in their hands.

"Husband..."

The beautiful lady called softly, turned around and signaled the girls to come in with her eyes, and placed the snack and fruit plate on the stone table in front of Ling Changqing.

"Is there something going on outside?"

Ling Changqing waved his hand, and the beautiful lady blushed and waved for the maids to leave. She lifted up her skirt, walked over and sat in his arms.

With the smooth, soft, plump and warm body in his arms, the fire in Ling Changqing's heart couldn't help but stir again.

"Just now Sister Yue asked me to come over and invite you, my husband, to come over. She said that the headmaster of Xianyin Pavilion is here in person and specifically wants to see you!"

Cen Xuanyi said this shyly, and used her long, round legs to hold down Ling Changqing's hands that were beginning to do something naughty.

"she?"

Ling Changqing was stunned for a moment and immediately stopped.

He was mentally prepared for this matter, or rather, this was the move he instructed Meng Feiyu to make to confront the top management of Xianyin Pavilion.

When Meng Feiyu first came to the Ling family's territory, she was just a foundation-building cultivator. Later, as her memories of her past life gradually awakened and she became Ling Changqing's Taoist partner, her cultivation level increased by leaps and bounds.

However, for confidentiality reasons, Meng Feiyu did not report the matter to her superiors immediately, but chose to conceal it.

Until she set off for the Hongmeng Holy Temple in Qinghao Continent, Meng Feiyu's publicly revealed cultivation level was only the late Jindan stage, and the top management of Xianyin Pavilion never doubted it.

After returning from the Hongmeng Holy Temple, Meng Feiyu felt that the situation was already established, so she chose to confront the top leaders of the Xianyin Pavilion.

Of course, she did not reveal the whole story. She just said that she was noticed by the head of the Ling family, so she was given many opportunities, which enabled her to enter the Spirit Transformation realm ahead of time.

The top brass of Xianyin Pavilion attached great importance to this matter. After an internal discussion, the Supreme Sect Leader personally came to Linsha Island, intending to have a good talk with Ling Changqing.

"I see. I'll go check it out then!"

Ling Changqing nodded indifferently. He had to face this matter sooner or later and could not shirk it.

However, based on the secret method of deducing the mysteries of heaven that he had just mastered, Ling Changqing felt that this might not be a trouble, but rather some kind of opportunity.

Ling Changqing stood up and followed Cen Xuanyi away in the light of escape. A moment later, he had met the real master in a secret hall.

She was a beautiful woman with a cold expression and a majestic and powerful aura. She was wearing a dark purple Lihuang Xianglong robe, her hair was full of red and green phoenix hairpins, and her figure was plump and somewhat exaggerated. She looked very elegant, dignified, fragrant and charming.

This is the current supreme master of Xianyin Pavilion: Zi Yunxi. His cultivation is not inferior to Qin Mengxuan, and he is a well-known giant in the Yuzhou cultivation world.

Ling Changqing walked over slowly, nodded slightly, and greeted in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Given his current true identity and status, he actually doesn't need to be overly accommodating to the other party, even if she is the supreme leader of a sect.

"Master Ling, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down and talk!"

Zi Yunxi tilted her head, her beautiful eyes as bright as stars looked up and down at Ling Changqing for a moment, then smiled and nodded:

"Fei Yu is a good girl, no wonder you like her! I am naturally happy to help her!
However, since you are so capable, why not... marry a few more?"

"..."
