Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 72 Eighth Level of Qi Training
In the end, Ling Changqing declined this attractive proposal.

The thoughts of those direct descendants of the Ling family were obvious, they wanted to get closer to Ling Changqing until they had the opportunity to become his Taoist partners.

But Ling Changqing really didn't have any thoughts about them. He wasn't even a foundation-building cultivator yet, and his main job was to focus on cultivation and improvement. How could he waste his time on women?

"Okay, since you have made your decision, I will reply to them later!"

Song Xuelan said this in a soft voice, her beautiful eyes filled with happiness and obsession as she looked at him.

The status of those girls from the direct lineage is completely different from hers, but she is the young master's person, so naturally she only listens to his orders in everything.

After finishing his bath, Ling Changqing changed into a dark green Taoist robe with the help of Song Xuelan, and then returned to the inner garden flower hall.

On the large golden silk cloud sandalwood table, the maid had already placed a table full of rich spiritual delicacies, such as hundred-year-old ice leaf Scrophulariaceae soup, rainbow shadow shrimp, rock armor earth dragon heart and liver, silver beard snowflake fish meat, etc.

Of course, there are also various spiritual fruits and snacks, and there is no shortage of spiritual wine and liquor, and the space is filled with fragrance.

Ling Changqing calmly sat down at the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and began to feast on it.

After a moment, Song Xuelan, with a blushing face, came out from the inner room.

She had changed her attire again, wearing a snow-white tight warrior costume. Her tall and straight figure was well-proportioned, and the round and majestic mountains stretched the front of her clothes tightly, revealing her graceful and exquisite curves, her slender waist, and her long and round legs as she walked briskly towards him.

"There's no outsider here, so sit down and eat something!"

Ling Changqing said.

"Okay, thank you, sir!"

Song Xuelan happily agreed, sat down beside him, picked up the wine jug with her slender hands, and poured him wine gently.

The young man in front of her was not that impressive when she first met him, but now she can only look up to him.

As long as she could stay by his side for the rest of her life, it would be the greatest happiness, and she didn't dare to hope for anything else.

"Starting tonight, I will go into seclusion for a period of time."

Ling Changqing took a sip of the spirit wine and said to her:

"During the days when I am in seclusion, do not meet any outsiders, and do not accept any gifts from them. Everything will be decided after I come out of seclusion."

"Well, I'll take note of it!"

Song Xuelan agreed in a low voice, moved her round and soft buttocks, and sat gently on his lap.

She took a sip of the wine with her cherry lips, then turned her head and gently kissed Ling Changqing, feeding him the mellow wine in this way.

After eating and drinking, Ling Changqing did not stay long. He returned to the training room and activated the formation restriction.

With the activation of the spirit gathering array, wisps of spiritual energy gathered into a milky white mist in the space, which felt indescribably comfortable.

Ling Changqing sat down on the cold jade bed in the center of the training room, and then took out more than ten pill bottles of various shapes from the storage bag.

These are the resources Ling Qiyue prepared for him. They are impeccable in both quantity and quality, and they are conditions that even the foundation-building elders may not have.

Ling Changqing opened the pill bottle, took a Xuanyin Blood Yuan Pill, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing, and entered a state of deep enlightenment with ease.

This is also one of the magical powers of the Era Star Palace. As long as Ling Changqing is willing, he can enter a state of deep enlightenment anytime and anywhere, making his practice more efficient.

If it were those low-level independent cultivators with scarce resources and mediocre qualifications, they would hardly succeed in entering this optimal state of cultivation once in ten times, and they could basically only rely on luck.

……

In the council hall.

Ling Qiyue, who was demure and graceful, sat in the main seat, her brows slightly furrowed as she stared at the jade slip in her hand, pondering in silence.

There were several family elders sitting on both sides below, all of them were silent at the moment, quietly waiting for the decision of the head of the family.

Since successfully taking over the foundation of Longhuan Island, Ling Qiyue's prestige within the family has reached a new height.

Even the most senior and unruly family elders dared not go against the will of the female head of the family.

"…Do you think we need to respond to their demands?"

After a long silence, Ling Qiyue's cold and soft voice sounded.

Ling Yulu looked calm: "There's no need to respond. We are too busy to handle this kind of thing, so how can we have time to care about them?"

Tang Qiuyao smiled and said, "They want you, the Patriarch, to help them refine the foundation-building pills, and also want to sell various first- and second-level medicinal resources to them at a fair price? They really want it!"

“To put it bluntly, those small forces in the surrounding seas are still hoping for the best. They think that our Ling family won’t do anything to them, so they are just pushing their noses and getting ahead of us.” Ling Tianhe snorted coldly, “Just reject them directly. I don’t think they dare to do anything to our Ling family.”

Over the past period of time, seeing that the top management of the Ling family was only concentrating on internal affairs, integrating industries in new territories, training new people, etc., and had no plans for further expansion, certain forces suddenly became bolder.

This time, they jointly sent a letter to the top management of the Ling family, requesting Ling Qiyue to help them refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, as well as various other scarce medicinal resources. They would provide the materials themselves, and the remuneration could be negotiated.

Moreover, as long as the Ling family is willing to meet their demands, they can even form an alliance with the Ling family and nominally serve the Ling family as their leader.

Of course, Ling Qiyue would not take this kind of face-saving effort seriously. Everyone is not a fool, so don't try to take advantage of the Ling family in this way.

The current situation is very clear. Selling even one pill to the outside world means aiding the enemy, so it is better not to earn this reward than to give those small forces the opportunity to strengthen their own strength.

Ling Qiyue nodded slightly: "Then it's settled. In the next twenty years, the family will not sell any elixirs to the outside world, and will concentrate resources on training our own children."

"The master is wise!"

All the elders agreed in unison.

……

Several months passed quietly.

In the training room, Ling Changqing sat upright on the cloud bed, his whole body shrouded in dark spiritual light, and the aura of Xuanyin water essence emanating from him was rich and pure.

After a long time, he finally woke up slowly from his deep state of enlightenment.

"…I have reached the eighth level of Qi training, and I am one step closer to the foundation building stage!"

Ling Changqing let out a breath and thought to himself.

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

【Bone age: 20】

[Cultivation: Qi Training Level 8]

【Luck:49+153】

【Fortune: 47+129】

【Physique:24】

【Root bone: 24】

【Comprehension: 27】

[Soul: 60]

[Dan Dao: 6971/10000 (First-class medium quality)]

[Main cultivation technique: Xuanzhen Black Water Sutra (third level) 3970\20000]

[Spiritual roots: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, excellent character 1990/20000]

[Noble: Ling Zifeng/Tang Qiuyao/Ling Qiyue]

[Noble:? ]

With the breakthrough in cultivation, the lost luck and fortune are not only restored but also further increased.

The strengthening of the origin of his soul and the improvement of his physique and comprehension will make Ling Changqing's practice more and more efficient in the future.

The spiritual roots of human character are superior. From Ling Changqing's current perspective, it is not considered to be particularly high, but it is no problem to cultivate to the peak of foundation building, and it will not be difficult to become a fake pill real person in the future.

However, after Ling Changqing builds his foundation in the future, his spiritual root qualification level may be transformed into earth-grade spiritual roots, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes a true Jindan Zhenren, provided that there are enough resources.

"In my current state, I can step into the ninth level of Qi training and even strive for the foundation building stage. There should be no bottleneck. As long as I accumulate enough, I can be promoted..."

Ling Changqing thought that with Ling Qiyue around, he would not lack the corresponding resources for cultivation.

Such superior conditions are indeed superior to those of all the Ling family members. Even in a Jindan force like the Hanyue Sect, the treatment of the master's personal disciples is no more than this.

However, Ling Changqing has already decided to pursue sword cultivation, magic cultivation, and physical cultivation simultaneously, and he also needs to acquire several powerful attacking spells to enhance his combat capabilities.

This not only requires a massive amount of cultivation resources, but also high-grade manuals on martial arts and magical powers. Even Ling Qiyue may not be able to help, so this matter still needs to be considered carefully.
