Longevity starts with dual cultivation - Chapter 316 Deep Sea

Under the dark purple sky, the dark earth is vast and boundless, and there is an atmosphere of desolation and death everywhere.

On a low hill, a dozen clumps of dark blood-colored bushes were surrounding a several-meter-long saber-toothed demon elephant. Its sharp tentacles tore through its bone armor and frantically devoured its flesh and blood.

The demon elephant was still alive at this moment, roaring in pain from time to time. Its huge body struggled desperately, but it could not escape the combined suppression of these strange bushes.

Dozens of miles away in the Gobi Desert, a creature shaped like a moose was flying by quickly. Because of its fast speed, it left a trail of afterimages behind it.

Immediately, the flat ground returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened before.

Similar scenes continued to appear in the wilderness. These fierce and violent creatures were completely different from ordinary creatures, and more like deliberately created killing tools.

Further away, one can occasionally see a few cities built with huge blood-red rocks. Their architectural style is weird and twisted, completely different from the human cultivation civilization.

This is the world where the alien race was born. In the early years, the strong men in this race fought everywhere, conquered and destroyed countless worlds, big and small, leaving behind the notorious reputation of the "Blood Killing Clan" in all the heavens and worlds.

In just a hundred years, the Blood Killing Clan not only lost all the worlds they conquered, but also suffered countless casualties among the clan's strong men, and even their own nest was almost completely destroyed.

In the end, only a very small number of Blood Killing Clan individuals hiding in the corners of the world were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe and survive.

After a long time passed, this ethnic group finally recovered and its size gradually expanded. However, the world whose origin was severely damaged has never recovered.

Endless infighting, unrestrained plundering of resources, and massive numbers of individuals spreading like a plague to every corner of the world have made this world overwhelmed.

Therefore, the kings of the Blood Killing Clan chose to take a risk and cooperate with the Yuanshi Demon Palace of the Qingyao Continent, even though the risk was great, but they could no longer wait.

In the core area of ​​this world, a huge dark blood-red city stretching for tens of millions of miles stands tall.

In the huge city, tall and slender spiral towers covered with blood-red patterns reach straight into the sky, and there are tens of thousands of them.

At the top of every tall tower, there is a terrifying aura lurking quietly. They are all powerful and well-known figures in the Blood Killing Clan.

At the top of the tower, in the majestic hall, the security was tight. A large group of burly figures wrapped in thick black robes, with mysterious and powerful auras, lined up outside to guard silently.

Deep in the hall, twelve pitch-black altars, one hundred feet in diameter and eighteen stories high, made from the bones of unknown giant beasts, stood quietly in a circle.

On top of the altar, a large ball of blood-red devil flame was burning, emitting invisible pressure.

In the center of the devilish flame, distorted human faces would appear from time to time, with expressions of extreme pain and silent wails.

The terrifying pressure filled the entire hall, forming a delicate balance.

The Blood Killing Clan has more than one clan leader. According to convention, as long as one's cultivation strength reaches a certain limit, he or she can gain recognition from the elders and possess the title and authority of a king.

The Blood Killing Clan now has a total of twelve clan kings, all of whom are now present to discuss the future plans for the entire clan.

"How is the status of the space descent channel?"

"The plan is progressing smoothly. After a massive amount of resources have been invested, it has now expanded nearly a hundred times, and its status is stable enough to support it for a long time!"

Another divine thought responded calmly.

"That's good. It looks like it won't be long before we can send more elite troops down and gain a firm foothold there!"

"Humph! The Yuanshi Demon Palace of the human race harbors evil intentions and wantonly sacrifices our precious warriors. They will definitely pay the price in the future!"

Since the changes in the outside world have not yet affected the family territory, Ling Changqing concentrates on practicing at home, using the secret method of dual cultivation to help his group of female Taoist companions improve their cultivation.

These days, when he was restless and thinking about action, he went out to sea with his beauties to conduct a comprehensive survey of the waters under the jurisdiction of the family's territory, mapping the terrain of the underwater mountains, and especially finding out the distribution of various high-value underwater resources.

In the dark seabed, there is danger lurking in the silence.

At the deepest part of the trench that was nearly a thousand feet wide, a huge ball of golden light slowly drifted from far away.

This place is thousands of feet deep from the sea level. The terrifying pressure of the boundless sea water is enough to make most cultivators shudder. Without powerful magic weapons and cultivation, they would not dare to stay here for long.

However, for Ling Changqing and the group of beautiful Taoist companions around him, this is not a big problem at all.

The bottom of the trench is also a rugged, rocky and silent world, with a lifeless and desolate feeling.

Of course, this is just an appearance. With Yuanying Zhenjun's divine sense, it is not difficult to find that there are many strange, ferocious and terrifying creatures hidden in the caves and deep sand and gravel.

It was only because of Ling Changqing's supreme luck that these deep-sea monsters did not act rashly, but chose to lie dormant and watch in secret. If it were another cultivator, I'm afraid they would have to face one tough battle after another. In the end, they would either be driven away in disgrace, or stay here forever and become their food.

After a while, Ling Changqing stopped in front of a mirror-like underwater cliff.

"This should be right here?"

He said thoughtfully.

"My husband's skill of deducing the mysteries of the universe seems to have never been wrong. It must be right!"

The cool and charming Ling Qiyue observed for a while, then raised her jade hand lightly, and a few strands of sharp sword energy crossed and instantly cut a network of grooves on the surface of the cliff.

After a few breaths, as large pieces of rubble gradually fell off the surface, a shining, aura-filled metallic vein appeared. The thickness was unknown, and the whole thing was shrouded in a layer of colorful, magnificent light, indescribably brilliant.

“It’s worth the trip!”

This is the Smoke and Clouds Red Flame Gold, a very important resource for those who have reached the Spirit Transformation level. It has always been monopolized by the top forces, and only a very small amount can appear in the market.

"...I didn't expect to see such a high-quality Yanxia Chiyan gold vein in this place."

Ling Changqing said with some surprise.

Smoke and Cloud Red Flame Gold is one of the important materials used to create and refine fire-attributed flying swords and various offensive spiritual treasures.

Judging from a rough estimate, this should be a top-grade mineral vein. The purity of the ore is beyond imagination. Even for big forces like Xianyin Pavilion and Luhua Palace, it is a very rare strategic resource.

"Well, the reserves of this spiritual gold vein should be quite large. Even if we squander it, it will be enough for the family to use for thousands of years!"

Tang Qiuyao, who was wearing a bright yellow brocade dress embroidered with a phoenix and the sun and the moon, smiled slightly.

Even though the Ling family now had a very good financial income and basically had no shortage of cultivation resources, no one would complain about having too much wealth.

"Well, indeed!"

Ling Changqing nodded and said, "But the value of this mineral vein is great enough, it is worth our effort."

"Okay, let's start mining some now, and then refine and purify it after we take it back!"

As Ling Qiyue spoke, she waved her hand and made sword gestures. Dozens of highly condensed and chilling sword energies crisscrossed and slashed fiercely at the mineral vein in front of her.

In a short while, the storage tools of everyone, including Ling Changqing, were almost full.

After taking these high-level spiritual golds back, not only can they be used by oneself, but they can also be traded with other forces in exchange for other resources of similar value, further enhancing the family's strength.

Finally, Tang Qiuyao took out a jade slip that was shining with spiritual light, and used her divine sense to record the coordinates of this high-value mineral vein in it, so that it would be convenient for her to bring people here to mine next time.

"These are the eighty-seven high-quality mineral veins we have discovered. We will continue to search in the surrounding waters. There should be many unknown resources!"

Over the past period of time, Ling Changqing and his beauties have reaped fruitful results from their deep-sea operations, but there are less than ten discoveries that can be compared with the Yanxia Chiyan gold vein.

It can be predicted that as long as these treasures in the deep sea can be fully developed and utilized, the strength of the Ling family will inevitably increase and reach a higher level.

Compared to land, the various resources in the deep sea are undoubtedly much richer, provided that you have the ability to eat them. After all, the number of terrible monsters in the deep sea is really exaggerated.

Liuying Ziying pondered and said, "It's not easy to sell this Yanxia Crimson Flame Gold in large quantities on the market. It will easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. Why don't we keep it among ourselves? The price will be more favorable."

Ling Qiyue agreed immediately. Anyway, the Ling family had no use for such high-end resources right now, so it would be most appropriate to trade them to Luhua Palace, Liuying Family and Xianyin Pavilion.

Qin Mengxuan and the other girls discussed for a moment and then decided on the distribution plan.

"Okay, now let's calculate the next location?"

Ling Changqing smiled and said that the Ling family now controls as many as twenty sea areas, a vast territory covering billions of miles of sea, and the resources in the deep sea are richer than imaginable in both variety and quantity.

As the son of luck, he is under the influence of supreme destiny and fortune. As long as he does not actively provoke those guys, he can come and go freely in the deep sea and collect all kinds of high-value resources.

Such special advantages are unmatched by super powers like the Great Xia Divine Dynasty, the Yuanshi Demon Palace, and the Brahma Pure Land.

Taking out the snow-white tortoise shell, Ling Changqing dripped a drop of his own blood on it, and then began to silently practice his profound skills to deduce the location of the next high-value resource.

"Okay, in the southeast area, about 300 miles away, there should be a good Qingyan crystal mine. Shall we go take a look?"
