Longevity starts with dual cultivation - Chapter 307 Shangguan Qingying: My husband is a capable man who works harder

In the distant Shunzhou, there is the important gate of Yuanshi Demon Palace.

The majestic and magnificent Maha Mountains, which stretch for billions of miles from north to south, are the main dragon vein of this continent and are a top-notch Feng Shui treasure land in this world.

The main peak area of ​​the mountain range is dominated by black and red tones, with magnificent and majestic palaces and caves stretching out as far as the eye can see. Its style is either rough, mysterious, sinister, or bloody... and so on.

At this moment, the place was already covered with dark clouds, the sky was pitch black, and rolling demonic energy covered the sky and the sun. It was pitch dark where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. It was like the kingdom of the underworld god.

In the deep secret hall, the highest authority of the Demon Palace, the Supreme Master Qianhuan Daojun, sat on the large and majestic throne, listening to the reports of the elders of the Demon Palace with an expressionless face.

This great demon master who was famous throughout the Qingyao Continent actually looked like a handsome young man with a long sword on his back. His sea-blue Taoist robes were embellished with vivid patterns of birds and beasts, and his aura was unfathomable.

"...You mean, more than 70% of the raiding teams sent by the sect to other states have been wiped out by local forces?"

After a long time, the cold and deep voice of Taoist Qianhuan sounded faintly.

Elder Chen Qi, who had reported earlier, responded in a low voice with a look of panic in his eyes.

Faced with the pursuit and blockade of many major forces, Taoist Master Qianhuan still rejected the opposition and sent a large number of magic cultivation teams to other states, deploying alien warriors to harass and destroy, and slaughtering mortal people to refine soul crystals.

This move can not only disrupt the situation in other major states and distract the attention of those major forces, but also collect enough soul crystal resources for the sect, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, those powerful forces would not allow the cultivators of Yuanshi Demon Palace to act recklessly, and they immediately sent out enough forces to patrol the territory and kill those demon cultivators and alien warriors.

Not to mention, a large number of disciples were killed, as well as those aliens from the outside world. Very few were able to escape back to Shunzhou alive.

From the perspective of Yuanshi Demon Palace, this is undoubtedly a losing business, and the input and output are far from proportional.

"Master, we can't go on like this,"

The core elder Yu Dongyang, who had a high nose, deep eyes and a sinister face, frowned and said:"Too many disciples have been killed and their vitality has been damaged. I'm afraid this will be detrimental to the sect's future plans!"

Now they were all dead at the hands of those forces. Even though the Yuanshi Demon Palace was a big and powerful organization, such a loss still made the senior elders feel painful.

Daoist Master Qian Huan was silent for a while, then whispered, "Then stop! Actually, my previous consideration was not to covet this little bit of soul crystal resources, but mainly because I was worried about those aliens...

If more of them die, we will face less pressure in the future. Do you elders really think that we should abide by the agreement and set aside a piece of the continent as a territory for them to reproduce and live in the future?"

"Master, what you said is very true."

The alien races from the outer world are completely different from humans. They regard this world as a hunting ground in order to conquer and enslave all the creatures in this world.

In order to carry forward the sect's foundation, Taoist Master Qianhuan opened the seal a few years ago and signed a cooperation agreement with the clan kings of this group of alien species, agreeing to join forces to conquer this world.

In exchange, after the deal is done, the alien race can choose a vast continent with rich resources as their own territory.

The top leaders of the Yuanshi Demon Palace all knew that an alliance was just a competition of who could tear it apart faster. This was the case even among the same race, let alone between different races?From the very beginning, they didn't take this thing seriously. When the task is completed, all these aliens will definitely be dealt with completely.

Now, I will go and discuss with their tribe leader to see if I can get some more benefits out of them!"

The senior elders present smiled at each other. In their eyes, these aliens from outer space were just free cannon fodder and tools. They did not need to care no matter how many casualties there were.

……

Zhao family territory.

Then, the two sides went through dozens of rounds of negotiations, with overt and covert probing and bargaining, which lasted for several months before they finalized many detailed terms of the covenant.

Including Haoyun Peak, Qingxi Sect, Wang Family, and the Lu Family, there are sixteen Nascent Soul forces that pay an annual tribute to the Zhao Family equivalent to 10% of their annual fiscal revenue, which can be settled with spirit stones or cultivation resources.

When the Zhao family faces war, all vassal forces must accept the call of the master and unconditionally provide manpower and resources to support.

Of course, if the vassal forces are invaded by foreign enemies, the Zhao family is also obliged to provide shelter and protect the legitimate interests of the vassal forces.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are countless successful examples of how the master family handles the relationship with vassal forces, but there are also many failed cases. It is difficult to say which ones are right and which ones are wrong.

However, in the eyes of Ling Changqing and Shangguan Qingying, this is just a stopgap measure. Twenty or thirty years later, when the Zhao family's strength further increases, they can consider tearing up the treaty and expanding outward on a large scale.

"When our enemies are dangerous, when our allies are deadly."

A famous quote he had read in his previous life emerged in Ling Changqing's mind, and it was very appropriate to use it here.

This was the case with a certain superpower in the previous life, and it is also the case with many major forces in this world.

It has nothing to do with right or wrong, because being weak is the original sin!After the covenant was signed, the envoys from each family immediately presented large-capacity storage instruments containing the year's resource offerings.

After Shangguan Qingying's approval, Ling Changqing stepped forward to collect them one by one, inspected the goods, and after confirming that there were no problems, he completed the handover procedures.

Although each family concealed their own financial resources, the total amount of these resources added up to almost equal the Zhao family's total annual income.

It can be foreseen that with such a huge amount of income, the Zhao family's new talent training program can be larger in scale, and the growth rate of the new generation of children will be faster, completely surpassing those senior Nascent Soul forces.

The surrounding forces are well aware of this, but they are powerless to stop it.

Finally, Shangguan Qingying, on behalf of the family’s top leaders, hosted a grand banquet to entertain the envoys who participated in the negotiations.

In the hall, cups clinked, music played melodiously, and a large group of beautiful women in gorgeous clothes danced gracefully. Their gorgeous headdresses were reflected by gorgeous pearls, casting layers of blurred and dazzling light and shadows.

Shangguan Qingying and Ling Changqing sat in the main seats. The sisters Zhao Wanyi and Zhao Wanqing, as well as another Yuanying Zhenjun Zhao Qinghong were all there, and a group of Jindan elders were also present.

"...Friend Yi, do you think this alliance can last long?"

Taking advantage of the interval between toasts, Zhong Yantian, deputy headmaster of Haoyun Peak, looked at an old man with gray hair and beard beside him and asked quietly with his spiritual thoughts.

The old man was Yi Zhongdian, the patriarch of the Yi family. He had already reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and there were four Nascent Soul True Lords in his family. The original strength and foundation of the family was even greater than that of the Zhao family.

Hearing Zhong Yantian's question, Yi Zhongdian was silent for a moment, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes:"What can we do? It's better than falling out now and being killed by that woman, right?"

Obviously, Yi Zhongdian also anticipated the possibility that the Zhao family would go back on their word in the future.

After all, we are all thousand-year-old foxes. What kind of intrigues and conspiracies have we not seen?But even so, they had no better choice. The only ones who could check and balance the powerful spirit transformation masters were those at the same level. However, looking at the vast area of ​​tens of millions of miles around, the other spirit transformation forces were relatively far away and might not be interested in paying attention to the things here.

What's more, those gods are equally greedy and not necessarily easier to deal with than the Zhao family. If you are not careful, you will end up inviting a wolf into the house.

What this means is that there is no fifth-order spirit vein in the Zhao family's territory, but if Shangguan Qingying, the newly promoted god-transforming expert, wants to continue to improve, he will inevitably need a fifth-order spirit vein cave, so the Yi family's future situation is somewhat delicate.

Yi Zhongdian frowned and turned his head to look at a beautiful woman several feet away. She was wearing pearls and jade on her head and a long sky-blue dress. She responded coldly:

"If that's the case, then Zuiyun Pavilion won't be safe, right? There are also fifth-level spirit veins in their territory!"

"Yes, that's right."

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

If a Feng Shui treasure land is not protected by sufficient power, it will sooner or later fall into the hands of others. This is not uncommon in the world of immortal cultivation.

"What do you recommend?"

After a moment's silence, Yi Zhongdian asked helplessly.

Zhong Yantian sighed: "With this reason, the Yi family can still get a decent result. Otherwise, when she mentions this matter herself, it will not be so easy to talk to."

Yi Zhongdian's expression turned cold: "That fifth-level spiritual vein is located in the core area of ​​the family's territory. If it is given to the Zhao family, the family headquarters will have to move. How can this be possible?"

Although he knew that Zhong Yantian's reminder was well-intentioned, Yi Zhongdian was really unwilling to accept it.

The Yi family had a powerful Nascent Soul expert among their ancestors, but unfortunately he died soon after in an accident. Therefore, the Yi family can only be regarded as a senior Nascent Soul force until now.

Zhong Yantian shook his head and stopped persuading him. He couldn't figure out this kind of thing himself, so no matter how much others said, it would be useless.

When the song ended, the dancers retreated like the tide, and the headmaster of Zuiyun Pavilion, the charming and beautiful lady in a blue dress, stood up gracefully, swayed her waist, and walked towards the main seat holding the green jade wine jug.

Shangguan Qingying was slightly startled. Before she could speak, the beautiful woman opened her red lips and said with a sweet smile:"Jin Yuexi, the head of Zuiyun Pavilion, is willing to offer the fifth-level spiritual vein in the sect's territory for the master's cultivation. Please accept it!"

"..."

Obviously, Jin Yuexi's tact and understanding had exceeded everyone's expectations.

Yi Zhongdian's old face suddenly turned dark. He cursed in his heart, but he didn't know what to say.

I didn't expect that when I was still hesitating, this woman actually invested directly, and didn't even discuss it with me. It was simply...

Ling Changqing looked at her and said gently, "As far as I know, the fifth-level spiritual vein in your territory is the key location of your sect. Are you giving it up like this? Have you reached a consensus among your people?"

After saying that, she blinked her big, clear eyes at Ling Changqing, her eyes sparkling.

Zhao Wanyi: “???”

Zhao Wanqing: “???”

After all this fuss, it turns out she was waiting here? This is her real purpose, right?

Shangguan Qingying smiled, put down the wine bottle in her hand and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Jin means well, I will accept it with pleasure. As for other matters, we can discuss them slowly in private."

"So good!"

Jin Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her bet was right this time.

The fifth-level spirit vein is a rare strategic resource. However, Zuiyun Pavilion, which is guarded by only six Nascent Soul True Lords, cannot be defended at all. It is better to give it away directly.

After the banquet, the envoys from various families said goodbye one after another, and only Jin Yuexi stayed.

Ling Changqing already knew the details of Zuiyun Pavilion. As a sect headed by female cultivators, Jin Yuexi herself was already in the late Nascent Soul stage. She had good spiritual roots and aptitude, so it would not be difficult for her to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in the future. However, reaching the Spiritual Transformation stage would depend on luck.

Under the jade corridor that was sparkling and spotless, Ling Changqing, Shangguan Qingying and Jin Yuexi, two stunning beauties, were strolling leisurely.

After Shangguan Qingying was promoted to a powerful god-transforming master, the Zhao family's headquarters underwent a large-scale expansion and upgrade.

The wide jade corridor and the flower gardens on both sides are full of exotic flowers and herbs, the fragrance is refreshing and pleasant.

"...The changes in the Zhao family started with Fellow Daoist Ling."

Jin Yuexi tilted her head slightly, and stared at the purple-clothed handsome boy with red lips, white teeth, and lacquered eyes, and said softly:

"If it weren't for you, how could the twins advance to the Nascent Soul stage so easily? And Sister Shangguan, it wouldn't be so easy for her to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage, right?As for you, your bone age is so young, but you are already a Yuanying Zhenjun. Although I don’t know your true identity, I feel that you are not simple. "

"That doesn't matter anymore!"

Jin Yuexi smiled and said, "I am not greedy. As long as I can ensure that the sect's foundation is passed on, it will be fine. If you can help me advance to the God Transformation Realm, then I can agree to any request you make!"

"Does this include joining the Zhao family, or even taking action against those forces in the future?"

Ling Changqing asked with a smile.

Jin Yuexi's smile was somewhat helpless, yet somewhat fortunate: "Since Zuiyun Pavilion has made its choice, of course it is based on the will of the Zhao family."

She had anticipated that it would not be so easy to get away with it. The Zhao family was indeed still concerned about those forces. Fortunately, she took sides in time.

Ling Changqing nodded and said, "Qingying and her two sisters are now my Taoist companions."

Jin Yuexi blushed slightly, but she was not surprised: "So it's a dual cultivation method? Then I can do it too."

Of course, the key is that Ling Changqing gave her a particularly special feeling. Although she didn't understand the reason, her woman's intuition told her that such a choice was hard to come by and if she missed it, she would never have it again.

Shangguan Qingying smiled and said, "If that's the case, for the sake of the family, my husband, you can do more!"
