Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 98 Mu Yuxin: I am willing to sacrifice for my family!

It didn't take long for the news of Ling Changqing's advancement to the foundation-building stage to spread.

Compared to the promotion age of most foundation-building cultivators, Ling Changqing does look younger, not to mention that he is also a very talented alchemist.

Some people have been secretly speculating: Is this Ling family's most outstanding child really just a person of superior character? Is he deliberately hiding his true rank?
This suspicion is reasonable. After all, cultivators with the same spiritual root qualifications as him usually have to wait until they are thirty or forty years old before they can be promoted to the foundation-building stage. This is under the premise that there is no shortage of resources for cultivation.

Therefore, many people believe that Ling Changqing's spiritual root qualifications should be at the same level as the family head Ling Qiyue, and he has a great chance of becoming a Jindan Zhenren in the future.

Otherwise, it could be that he had obtained some special opportunity that allowed him to improve his cultivation so quickly.

Most of the Ling family's top brass were happy to hear this conclusion, but for the Ling family's enemies, this was definitely not good news.

"...Can you think of a safe way to lure this young man out of Longhuan Island?"

In Youye Islands, the head of the family, Mu Yesheng, asked in a deep voice after receiving the information.

From his point of view, the Ling family already has a Jindan Zhenren. If another one appears in the future, will the Mu family still have a way to survive?

Mu Wenxiu shook his head with a solemn expression and said softly:

"It's too difficult. According to the information collected by our people, this young man is usually very low-key, has no relatives or friends, and never travels alone!
Apart from studying the Dao of Alchemy with the Patriarch, he usually practices in seclusion and does not interact with outsiders at all."

Mu Yesheng's face was grim: "No matter how difficult it is, we have to find a way to try. We can't just watch him grow up like this, right?"

Assassination, kidnapping, bribery, beauty...all the means that can be thought of must be tried, what if they succeed?
"Okay, we'll do our best."

Mu Wenxiu pursed her lips and agreed reluctantly.

As long as Ling Changqing doesn't make any low-level mistakes and leaves Longhuan Island alone, the Mu family really has no way to deal with him.

Even if it is an assassination, it is impossible to send too many forces, after all, that is someone else's territory.

As for inducement, even if the Mu family spent all their wealth, they might not be able to offer benefits that would tempt Ling Changqing.

Only seduction by beauty...seems possible?
After all, Ling Changqing is too young, full of vigor and vitality, and has strong desires. He should not refuse this kind of enjoyment, right?

However, what she could think of, the Ling family might not have thought of, and they would definitely not treat Ling Changqing unfairly in this regard.

If you want to achieve success in one fell swoop, you can only mobilize the most outstanding women in the Mu family to have a chance to poach people, right?

As soon as he thought of this, Mu Wenxiu's eyes immediately turned to the beautiful girl with a rosy face and a graceful figure standing beside the head of the family, Mu Yesheng. She was wearing a dark purple dress, her black hair was like a waterfall, and her eyebrows, eyes and facial features were as delicate and perfect as jade carvings.

She is the youngest daughter of the patriarch Mu Yesheng: Mu Yuxin, who is currently in the middle stage of foundation building.

Mu Yesheng had many children. Over the past hundred years, he had married more than fifty wives and concubines, and had more than thirty sons and daughters.

However, most of these children are of mediocre talents, and only a few have spiritual roots that are suitable for cultivation.

And this Mu Yuxin is the most outstanding daughter of the head of the family, much better than the eldest son Mu Shun.

Although Mu Yesheng has never made a clear statement, the senior elders know very well that the next generation head of the Mu family will most likely be Mu Yuxin.

"Master, this plan may require...Yuxin's cooperation."

Mu Wenxiu did not hesitate and immediately began to plead.

Mu Yesheng was slightly startled, turned to look at his daughter, and instantly understood Mu Wenxiu's intention.

Mu Shun's expression changed and he objected, "No, this mission is too risky. How can I let my little sister take the risk?"

Several core elders looked at each other silently, and Mu Zhongning said thoughtfully:
"This matter concerns the rise and fall of the family. I'm afraid no one can stay out of it. If we ask Miss Yuxin to cooperate, maybe there is hope to lure Ling Changqing back?"

If Ling Changqing really has the potential to reach the Golden Core realm in the future, it would be best if we could find a way to poach him now.

Otherwise, if it drags on for too long, as his cultivation becomes more advanced, it will become increasingly difficult for the Mu family to plot against him.

"Yuxin, what do you think?"

After a moment of silence, Mu Yesheng finally asked.

The girl named Mu Yuxin stood up gracefully, bowed slightly, and said in a sweet and pleasant voice:
"If the situation requires, I am willing to make sacrifices for the family."

"very good,"

Mu Yesheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "I am very pleased that you can put the overall interests of the family first. As long as this matter can be completed successfully, you will be the next generation heir to the Mu family!" With such achievements, there will be no suspense about Mu Yuxin's promotion in the future, and there will be no more doubts or oppositions from the top of the family.

Mu Yuxin agreed and left with Mu Wenxiu to make preparations before departure.

……

Longhuan Island.

The Tianzhou fleet of the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce arrived again after several years.

Out of importance to the Ling family, the person in charge this time is still Shen Tu Hong, and Xue Qingtan also accompanies him.

In the council hall.

"...It's only been a few years since I last saw you. I didn't expect that this young man has already successfully established his foundation."

Shentu Hong, who had an elegant temperament and a white beardless face, spoke gently, his eyes looking at the beautiful young man in purple with clear eyes and a handsome appearance.

Xue Qingtan, with her moon-shaped eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, was young and bright, and she was smiling. She looked him up and down with her beautiful eyes, and her expression was full of joy.

Although they were not very close, she found that her impression of the boy had not faded after not seeing him for several years.

Ling Changqing said modestly: "It was just a fluke achievement, I don't deserve such praise from you, senior."

Silently communicating with the Jiyuan Star Palace, Ling Changqing calmly filled in Shentu Hong's name in the vacant column of [Noble Person].

The reason why I didn’t add him last time was because the gap between our cultivation levels was too great, a full two major realms apart, so he couldn’t be added.

Now that Ling Changqing has become a foundation-building cultivator, there will be no problem in this regard.

Moreover, according to the cryptic information fed back by the Epoch Star Palace, Shen Tu Hong's current true cultivation level should be close to the middle stage of the Golden Core, which is stronger than Ling Qiyue.

However, Shentu Hong's bone age should not be low, and his remaining life span is less than a hundred years. It is estimated that he can only reach the middle stage of the Golden Core at most in the future, and there is basically no way he can reach the late stage.

Xue Qingtan's true cultivation level should be between the peak of foundation building and the level of false elixir. It is still unclear whether he has the hope of achieving true elixir in the future.

Xue Yuchen, the quasi-third-level formation master who came last time, did not show up this time, and no one knew where he was going.

"Fellow Daoist Shentu, here is the list of resource types and quantities that we can sell this time. Please take a look first!"

Ling Qiyue said this as she handed a jade slip to the maid beside her, who then presented it to Shentu Hong.

Tang Qiuyao gently moved her round buttocks like a full moon, and quietly moved closer to Ling Changqing. She put her slender hand around his arm, and the meaning of declaring her sovereignty was very direct.

This was of course done for Xue Qingtan to see, because the way the other party looked at Ling Changqing made Tang Qiuyao feel that something was wrong.

Unsurprisingly, her actions attracted Xue Qingtan's attention. Seeing that Ling Changqing did not resist, the true relationship between the two could be imagined.

Xue Qingtan's expression was slightly paused, then her brows relaxed. She didn't come here to steal a man, so why would the other party be so wary of her?
On the contrary, Tang Qiuyao's behavior reveals her narrow-mindedness and strong desire for control, which is not pleasing to men at all. I wonder how long she can stay with Ling Changqing?
Shentu Hong took the jade slip and quickly glanced through it. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the surprise in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

The efficiency of the Ling family in collecting resources seemed to be quite high, and there were many rare species in the list. The total value exceeded his psychological expectations by ten times.

It seems that some of the Ling family's special methods are not possessed by forces of similar size such as the Mu family, Bai family, Yuan family, and Yulong Island.

Perhaps... even Ling Qiyue, a Jindan Zhenren, went to the deep sea to collect resources personally regardless of her status?

After thinking for a while, Shentu Hong finally spoke:

"These resources are great. Our Chamber of Commerce will accept them all! In addition, if you want to purchase anything, you can also ask for it now."

Ling Qiyue nodded slightly and handed over another prepared list, which contained the types of resources that the Ling family needed to purchase.

The other resources were fine, but the first requirement was that Ling Qiyue proposed to rent a defensive magic weapon from the Chamber of Commerce for a period of twenty years.

Shentu Hong thought about it for a moment and felt that he understood the reason.

After all, Ling Qiyue had just broken through the Jindan realm not long ago and did not have her own magical weapon, so she had to get one as soon as possible.

This request is a bit high, but of course for the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce, as long as the price is right, the matter is negotiable.
