Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 301: Demonic Trace Appears
The news that the head of the Ling family had given birth to a child soon spread through certain channels, and many surrounding forces that were interested in this learned about it.

This is obviously not good news for them. After all, the Ling family's power is growing too fast and will inevitably threaten their interests in the future.

Now that the head of the Ling family has a successor, it means that the power position is becoming more and more stable, and the cohesion within the family will become stronger, and other factions will have no chance to compete.

Of course, they are more concerned about key information such as the little princess's spiritual roots, fate, fortune, and future growth potential.

They did not have to wait too long before some news secretly came out that Ling Shuanghua's spiritual root aptitude was of medium quality, with all five elements, and her luck and fortune were average.

This means that as long as the little princess does not die prematurely, she should be able to reach the peak level of Golden Core True Person in the future. It is a little difficult to reach the Yuanying True Lord level, but as long as she is given a certain opportunity, she can achieve it.

For a senior Yuanying force, this level is pretty good. He is one of the qualified successor candidates and deserves to be cultivated.

After the heads of the surrounding forces learned about this, they felt a little relieved. Such qualifications did not exceed their tolerance limit. It was just that the Ling family would have one more Yuanying Zhenjun in the future.

If it is a heavenly spiritual root, they will be unable to sleep or eat, and may even consider taking risky options, even if the hope of success is slim.

Planning various conspiracies to kill the outstanding seeds of immortals in the hostile forces in advance is a common practice in the world of immortal cultivation.

Even between allies, such things are unavoidable. After all, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

However, the top brass of the Ling family did not plan to hold a public celebration, and all matters related to the little princess were handled in a low-key manner. The little bits of information that occasionally leaked out were all secretly instructed by Ling Qiyue.

Then, not long after, another rumor came out that the little princess had been sent to a major female cultivation force, to be personally looked after by a high-level elder, and would be accepted as a personal disciple in the future.

In this way, regardless of whether this situation is true or false, at least the news that the Ling family has a powerful backer has been basically confirmed.

Some surrounding forces that originally had ideas about the Ling family had to temporarily put aside their thoughts and consider other options.

To fight head-on with one of the most powerful forces in Yuzhou's immortal cultivation world? These small and medium-sized forces simply don't dare to think about it, unless they can find a force of the same level to back them up.

Linsha Island.

Inside the bedroom, on the unusually large jade-embroidered bed, Ling Changqing struggled to free himself from the entanglement of jade arms and long legs, and slowly sat up.

Then, the soft and fragrant body with amazing elasticity leaned over, and her charming arms like snakes wrapped around his shoulders, and a hoarse and charming voice with magnetism rang out:

"Husband, are you getting up so early?"

"Well, we have to go to the Chixue Sea area to take a look. It's been a long time since we went there for inspection!"

Ling Changqing said that dual cultivation is important, but the main business cannot be neglected.

He couldn't be like the kings of other dynasties in the world, who were obsessed with beauty and neglected the military and national affairs.

"Okay then, we sisters will go with you!"

Yu Ruoshuang behind him smiled, pursed her shiny and charming cherry lips, and hugged him and rubbed him with an unsatisfied look.

At this moment, Zi Yunxi and Liuying Ziying also woke up. They came over to hug him from the left and right with their naked, plump and charming bodies.

"My dear husband, have you seen all the girls I brought here? Do you have any ideas?"

Zi Yunxi, with disheveled hair and a rosy face, asked softly.

She brought hundreds of beauties this time, all of whom were the best carefully selected from the Xianyin Pavilion. There was no shortage of loli girls, mature women, and beautiful ladies, but there was no one whose cultivation was below the Jindan level.

Zi Yunxi handed these beauties over to Meng Feiyu for management, and of course provided them with a large amount of resources. When the time was right, he would let them come and serve Ling Changqing.

"They are all very good,"

Ling Changqing said truthfully: "But now is not the right time, let them wait a little longer!"

"Wait, it's okay, but you have to settle down first, husband, so that they can feel at ease!"

Zi Yunxi said with a smile, anyway, given this guy's personality, he wouldn't want to miss it after seeing it.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Ling Changqing rubbed the white and shiny snow in front of her, and felt the fire in his heart stirring again.

He looked around and found that Ling Qiyue was nowhere to be seen. Then he remembered that she was not here at the moment, but was outside handling government affairs.

As for her daughter Ling Shuanghua, she is now being taken care of personally by Tang Qiuyao and has moved into the Jiyuan Star Palace paradise to live permanently.

This was the decision made by Ling Changqing after discussing with them. Although the defense measures of the family headquarters are tight, they cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof. The safest place is still within the Era Star Palace.

As for the outside world, just find a baby girl as a substitute and treat her according to the same standards as the family heir to confuse the outside world.

Anyway, there are all kinds of resources in the Jiyuan Star Palace Paradise, there is no shortage of palaces, caves and Taoist temples, and the spiritual environment is equivalent to the level of fifth-order spiritual veins, so practicing will be twice the result with half the effort.

After Ling Shuanghua grows up in there, it would be best if she has reached the foundation-building level or above, and then she can come out occasionally.

Ling Changqing has already decided that if a new daughter is born in the future, the same arrangement can be made.

And now, Ling Changqing has a premonition that perhaps another lucky person will be born among the women in the harem soon.

But he didn't dare to say it clearly, otherwise the girls would be so excited that they would pester him even harder to practice dual cultivation.

"Husband, practice for a while longer, it's still early!"

Liuying Mengluan gently stroked his handle and said with a seductive look.

Ling Changqing didn't say anything, so a new round of fierce fighting broke out. The beauties joined forces and supported each other, taking turns to fight.

As expected, Ling Changqing was defeated. After all, the girls' cultivation levels were so high that he could hardly cope with them now.

After finally finishing all the work, Ling Changqing got up from the bed, soaked in the hot spring bath for a while before recovering, and then began to get dressed with the help of the maids.

Outside, Song Xuelan had already instructed the maids to set up a sumptuous banquet, which included all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, as well as spiritual wines that could replenish one's vitality and improve one's cultivation.

Ling Changqing, neatly dressed, sat down at the table. Then the graceful and beautiful Zi Yunxi, dressed in a dark purple and blue phoenix brocade embroidered palace dress, appeared and sat down beside him gracefully.

Ling Changqing looked at her, then looked at his own clothes. They were all the same dark purple. It felt like they were couple outfits. He wondered if she did that on purpose.

"Husband, eat more. These are all rare delicacies from the sect's storehouse!"

Zi Yunxi said with a smile, her eyes sparkling.

The ingredients of many delicacies that can be served in front of Ling Changqing now are basically not lower than the fourth level, including spiritual wine, spiritual fruit snacks.

His growth rate is closely related to the vital interests of the beauties and the forces behind them, so no one dares to neglect him.

As long as Ling Changqing can eat it, the girls will not hesitate at all no matter how outrageous the expenses are.

After a while, Qin Yun, Bai Qingyi, Yu Ruoshuang and other girls also finished dressing up, came over and sat down at the table one by one, and started to feast on their food.

Only after they had eaten and drunk their fill did Ling Changqing go to see Ling Qiyue. He held her in his arms for a while in the inner study, and after giving her some instructions, he left with the other girls. As the Tianzhou ship slowly rose into the sky, the dark blue ocean and the numerous islands of various shapes and shapes scattered across the sky were in full view.

Although the five seas are connected to one territory, the area they cover is quite vast, spanning tens of millions of miles from south to north and from east to west.

If a cultivator at the Jindan Zhenren level wants to travel around the family territory, it will take about ten years, and of course most of the time is spent on traveling.

If we only count the land area and resources, the Ling family is now equivalent to the level of a senior Nascent Soul force. But if we also count the many resources under the sea, then it is definitely close to the threshold of a Divine Transformation force.

Due to the patrol, the speed of the Tianzhou ship was not very fast, and it took more than two months to reach the southernmost tip of the territory.

At this point, large islands with a radius of more than 10,000 miles are rare, and most of the islands are small islands of thousands or hundreds of miles.

As for those islands and reefs that are tens or hundreds of feet in size, there is no need to mention them. They are so numerous that it is difficult to count.

Although some islands are small, they often have certain rare local specialties that cannot be ignored by the family leaders and must be properly protected and developed.

The journey was smooth and peaceful, and we didn't even see any bandits or robbers. It was no different from a sightseeing trip.

Thousands of feet in the sky, the Tianzhou building ship was gliding slowly. Several layers of light blue light curtains inside and outside easily blocked the strong winds and cold currents in the sky, making the cabins inside the building ship still as warm as spring.

Ling Changqing was leaning on the soft chair. Xue Qingtan and Yu Yalan were kneeling on the carpet with their heads lowered. They carefully massaged his legs, with charm in their beautiful eyes.

Liuying Bingchan and Mu Yunxiu, who were wearing thin clothes and had dazzling snow-white skin, stood behind him and rubbed his shoulders, serving him very attentively.

Ling Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly and listened to Zi Yunxi, Zhao Qingzi and other girls chatting happily about some anecdotes and interesting things within the sect.

"...Master, something seems to be wrong!"

Without any warning, Gong Ling's voice rang out in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Ling Changqing suddenly opened his eyes, gently pushed away the two beautiful heads of the girls with his hands, and stood up to tidy up his clothes.

"Husband?"

All the girls looked over with puzzled eyes.

"This doesn't look good. Could it be that those alien creatures have come to this sea area?"

Ling Changqing had a solemn expression. With the power of the Era Star Palace, he was extremely sensitive to the breath of alien creatures. It seemed that he had discovered a clue.

"I'll go take a look! Sister Mengxuan, will you come with me?"

Bai Qingyi said immediately that the two of them had the highest cultivation levels and had many special means at their disposal, so they were naturally not afraid of sneak attacks from aliens.

Qin Mengxuan nodded, waved her hand and summoned an octagonal stone tower-shaped magic treasure that hung above her head. Rays of mysterious yellow light fell down, forming several layers of tough light curtains inside and outside, protecting her and Bai Qingyi.

The next moment, the figures of the two women turned into streams of light and disappeared on the spot.

The speed of the Tianzhou ship slowed down rapidly. Ling Changqing, surrounded by the girls, left the cabin and came to the wide front deck.

The endless sea is dotted with dozens of small islands of various shapes. Most of them are barren places with no human habitation and no grass, where only some seabirds are willing to stay.

"over there!"

Ling Changqing looked around and quickly identified the target based on Gong Ling's guidance.

Hundreds of miles away, there is an island with lush forests and flat terrain, which is where the strange aura appeared.

The environment on the island is pretty good, with several first-level spiritual veins and relatively fertile soil. Therefore, hundreds of thousands of mortals live here to reclaim wasteland and reproduce.

The Tianzhou building ship approached quietly and then slowly lowered its altitude. At this time, Bai Qingyi and Qin Mengxuan also approached at high speed from a distance.

"Besides this one, there are three more islands with problems. We'll have to check them all later."

Qin Mengxuan said in a low voice.

"Ok."

Ling Changqing nodded.

A moment later, Ling Changqing led the girls down from the Tianzhou ship and landed near a village.

"We are a step too late. All the mortals here should have been killed by them!"

Sensing the surrounding environment, the Kunpeng girl Qingsi beside her spoke softly.

Ling Changqing frowned and said nothing. He also sensed the thick aura of death and resentment that filled the space.

As we entered the villages and towns, the aura of death became stronger, mixed with the breath of some alien creatures, violent and chaotic, with an indescribable chill.

At the entrance of the narrow street, Ling Changqing saw dozens of human corpses lying all over the place.

To be precise, it is a mummy.

Their expressions before death were filled with fear and pain, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.

Liuying Ziying took a quick look, shook her head and sighed, "All the blood in their bodies has been sucked dry, their souls have been devoured, and they have lost even the chance to reincarnate."

These alien creatures from outer space can’t be a group of vampires, right?

Ling Changqing muttered to himself that from the distant ancient times to the present, there must have been alien races that fed on human blood, and there were more than just one or two of them.

But later, as the human race's fortune flourished, it gradually became the ruler of the world, and all kinds of powerful people emerged one after another. Those races that fed on humans were treated as demons and monsters and were eliminated.

Ling Changqing had just turned his head and was about to say something to Ling Yulu beside him when a sense of danger suddenly increased in his heart.

"court death!"

Qin Mengxuan shouted angrily, and the flying sword in his hand was summoned. In an instant, it split into thousands of blazing sword beams, which intertwined into layers of impenetrable sword nets, and promptly trapped the attacking alien.

The temperature in the surrounding space dropped sharply, and Bai Qingyi and Zi Yunxi also took action.

A hoarse and unpleasant sound, like metal plates rubbing against sand, was heard, filled with incredible anger.

Ling Changqing looked closely and found that it was a dark-skinned, hideous-looking creature that looked like a gorilla.
Judging from his aura, this guy's cultivation should be at the True Dan level, and his potential has been basically exhausted. Unless there is another opportunity, it will be difficult for him to make further progress.

"That's it?"

Ling Changqing shook his head in disappointment. No matter how many of these people there were, they were not good enough. Only those who were at the level of Yuanying Zhenjun would be worthy of his further attention.
