The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 294: The Power of the Yin-Yang Laws and Li Yourong's Decision

Jin Yunfang City, Four Seas Pavilion.

In a quaintly decorated room on the third floor.

On the desk, a half-inch tall Rank Two Ling Sandalwood burned slowly in a bronze incense burner shaped like a beast's head.

Chen Ling, Wang Xi, and Li Yourong were seated in the room.

Now that the situation with Wanbao Tower has been settled, the next step is to handle some handover work, which Wang Xi will take care of.

They won't be able to return for a short period of time.

Due to the many things involved, Wang Xi and Li Yourong are both busy.

Only Chen Ling, the carefree shopkeeper, is relaxed and idle.

Now, the new leader of Wanbao Tower is Wang Xi.

"So many invitations?"

Chen Ling looked at the small pile of greeting cards and invitations on the desk, furrowing his brows slightly.

These greeting cards and invitations came not only from other Nascent Soul families in Wanbao Tower, but also from other Nascent Soul families and even Soul Formation families in the ancient Divine Continent.

Chen Ling was somewhat surprised. He originally thought that this would only have an impact within Wanbao Tower.

He didn't expect it to have such an influence.

Li Yourong picked up one of the cards, pursed her red lips, and suppressed a smile as she said, "Husband, this is an invitation from the Zhou family, one of the eight Soul Formation families. The Zhou family is a bit of an anomaly among the eight Soul Formation families, and there aren't many cultivators they take a liking to."

"Soul Formation family?" Chen Ling was taken aback, somewhat surprised.

The face of the Soul Formation family must be given.

It seems that he won't be able to keep a low profile this time.

After all, there aren't many cultivators who can defeat a Rank Four Supreme Grade Refiner like Tie Xiong and a Rank Four High Grade Alchemist like Zhang Yaoxiang.

Moreover, it's the same person.

Indeed rare!

Fortunately, his main base is in the Western Wilderness, and after experiencing several years of turmoil caused by demonic cultivators, it's impossible to find out about his background.

Of course, they might not even bother to investigate.

After all, it would be an offense to rashly investigate a cultivator.

"Husband, it seems that it won't be long before your reputation spreads throughout the ancient Divine Continent!"

"After all, your age and talent are quite rare!"

"However, this is a good thing for our Chen family and Wanbao Tower!"

Wang Xi also said with a smile.

If it were an ordinary Rank Four Refiner, it would be difficult to cause such a stir.

And Wanbao Tower is in the business of making money, so it undoubtedly gained another promotional sign.

In these past few days, Chen Ling's reputation has also quickly spread in Guiyun City.

Consecutively defeating two powerful cultivators from Soul Formation families.

Soon, it also attracted the attention of several major Soul Formation families.

For such a cultivator with enormous potential, each family has the intention to recruit and establish good relations.

"Wife, organize these cards and see which ones need attention."

Chen Ling smiled and said.

Although he doesn't plan to stay in Guiyun City for long, it's still best not to offend people.

There are things that need to be done, and with Wang Xi's experience, she should know how to handle them.

Fortunately, he now has the relationship between Wanbao Tower and Lanyue Sect.

Even if Soul Formation cultivators know about him, they won't rashly make a move against him.

As for other cultivators suspecting that he has a great opportunity, as long as it's not a Soul Formation cultivator making a move, he doesn't need to fear.

"By the way, regarding the Zhou family that Yourong mentioned, husband, you should pay attention."

"Because the inheritance of the Zhou family is only suitable for female cultivation, there aren't many high-level male cultivators in the family."

"They often find other high-level male cultivators to marry into the Zhou family."

"Now that they've sent an invitation to you, it seems that they have taken an interest in you!"

"And the current head of the Zhou family, Zhou Hongshang, is said to be the number one beauty in the ancient Divine Continent! And she has already reached the Nascent Soul stage."

Wang Xi flipped through the greeting cards, took out an exquisite one, and a complex expression flashed in her eyes as she smiled and said.

"The number one beauty?"

Chen Ling was once again taken aback. After reaching the Gold Core realm, cultivators generally don't pay much attention to their appearance.

To be called the number one beauty, it would be an opportunity to meet her.

Without showing any emotion, he casually asked, "Are you all this beautiful?"

"I haven't seen her in person either!" Wang Xi said with a smile.

Obviously, she had great confidence in her appearance!

Li Yourong ignored her directly.

Wang Xi said softly, "Zhou Hongshang, the head of the Zhou family, is a person with excellent water and wood spiritual roots. She reached the Nascent Soul stage before the age of one hundred."

"It is said that every generation of the Zhou family's patriarch possesses a special physique."

"The Patriarch warned that male cultivators should not provoke female cultivators from the Zhou family!"

"As for the specific reasons, the Patriarch did not elaborate much!"

Chen Ling smiled and said, "Hehe, never mind, let's just treat them well if someone from the Zhou family comes!"

"Wife, you should focus on dealing with the affairs of the Wanbao Tower. Once the handover is complete, we can go back!"

It has been over a month since they left the Chen family, and they still haven't conceived a child despite being intimate every day.

They might have better luck when they return home and cast a wider net.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in this area is only covered by Rank Three spiritual veins, which is far from sufficient.

Fortunately, he carried the Time and Space Crystal Ring and other auxiliary cultivation treasures, and had an ample supply of pills, so it wouldn't have too much of an impact.

Wang Xi nodded and said, "As long as we handle the matters of the Alliance Leader well, everything else will be easier!"

Then, Wang Xi got up and left the room.

"Husband, I want to go back to the Li family and take a look!" Li Yourong hesitated for a moment and said to Chen Ling.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Chen Ling asked.

A few days ago, he accompanied Li Yourong to pay respects at her mother's grave.

She didn't mention going to the Li family.

Indeed, he was aware that the relationship between his wife and the Li family was not harmonious. Was it appropriate for him to accompany her?

It was up to her to decide!

Li Yourong shook her head and said, "I just want to see the situation at the old house and I'll be back soon!"

Chen Ling nodded.

······.

Merit Points: 3850

Spiritual Roots: Four Supreme Grade Spirit Roots (Gold, Wood, Fire, Earth, 49/100)(+)

High Grade Pseudo Thunder Spirit Root (32/100)(+)

Cultivation Realm: Fifth Stage Gold Core (12/100)

Body Refining: Fourth Stage Initial

Technique: Qianyuan True Technique (Minor Completion: 82/100)(+)

······.

After Li Yourong left, Chen Ling opened the panel.

"Over three thousand Merit Points!"

"Then let's improve the Qianyuan True Technique!"

Chen Ling sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion and muttered to himself.

His divine sense increased by one point after the "+ " in the Qianyuan True Technique.

Boom!

The Merit Points on the panel quickly disappeared. In an instant, a majestic airflow poured into his body, giving him a feeling of unstoppable momentum.

At this moment, it felt as if Chen Ling's meridians were being washed by a vast river. The spiritual energy in his meridians and acupoints surged, converging into an even more powerful airflow.

In an instant, Chen Ling had numerous insights and a profound sense of wonder emerged in his heart.

At the same time, the Yin-Yang Spirit Flame automatically activated and surrounded him. The two flames, one black and one white, surged and churned, as if undergoing some kind of transformation.

As the majestic airflow transformed from the Merit Points slowly merged into his Qi Sea, Chen Ling saw two Yin-Yang small fish slowly condensing not far from his Gold Core.

They continuously absorbed the majestic airflow, causing the spiritual energy in his Qi Sea to compress and solidify.

"What's going on?" Chen Ling looked at the growing Yin-Yang small fish with confusion in his heart.

At the same time, above the Gold Core, there was an inexplicable and mysterious aura.

It transformed into two streams of air, one black and one white, swirling around the Gold Core.

"Could this be the law of yin and yang?" Chen Ling speculated as he looked at the changes in his Gold Core.

Around the Gold Core, there were two rays of light, one fiery red and one thunderous.

These were the powers of the flame and thunder laws that he had comprehended.

He was quite surprised to be able to comprehend the law of yin and yang through this upgrade.

After all, the Qianyuan True Technique was a fire attribute technique.

So it was quite unexpected!

At the same time, in his sea of consciousness, the figure of the old man in the black robe appeared, murmuring, "Yin and yang are the way of heaven and earth, the principles of all things, and the abode of the gods..."

"One yin and one yang is called the Great Dao!"

With each profound and mysterious spell merging into Chen Ling's sea of consciousness, he also gained understanding.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the Yin Yang Little Fish in his Qi Sea became brighter and more solid.

After the Yin Yang Little Fish gradually grew stronger, it began to revolve around the Gold Core.

An extremely mysterious aura emanated from it.

After about ten breaths, the airflow dissipated.

In his sea of consciousness, the figure of the old man disappeared.

The Yin Yang Spirit Flame returned to his body once again.

Chen Ling looked at the panel again.

Incense Value: 0

Spirit Roots: Four Supreme Grade Spirit Roots (Gold, Wood, Fire, Earth, 49/100)(+)

High Grade Pseudo Thunder Spirit Root (32/100)(+)

Realm: Fifth Stage Gold Core (18/100)

Body Refining: Rank Four Initial Stage

Technique: Qianyuan True Technique (Great Completion: 2/100)(+)

Law Power: Flame Law (Middle Grade: 19/100)(+)

Yin Yang Law (Low Grade: 12/100)(+)

"It really is the law of yin and yang!" Chen Ling's face showed a pleased expression. With this upgrade, the Qianyuan True Technique reached the state of Great Completion.

His cultivation and flame law both had obvious improvements, but the most important thing was that he had comprehended the power of the law of yin and yang.

With a thought, he felt that the mana in his body had undergone some kind of change. It was no longer as violent as before, but had a round and smooth quality.

The power had also significantly increased.

"By using the evolution of the Yin Yang Spirit Flame and comprehending the law of yin and yang, it's truly unimaginable!" Chen Ling murmured.

Now, the power of the Yin Yang Spirit Flame was no less than that of a Rank Four Spirit Flame.

In this situation, if he were to combine it with the law of yin and yang in his body and have dual cultivation with his wives, the speed of his improvement would double.

A look of eagerness flashed in Chen Ling's eyes.

However, at this moment, both Wang Xi and Li Yourong were not by his side.

"I'll try it tonight!"

Chen Ling exhaled and then got up, making himself a cup of spiritual tea and leisurely drinking it.

...

Nighttime.

The bedroom was filled with a pleasant and hazy atmosphere.

Afterward!

Li Yourong's face flushed, her eyes filled with a charming and delighted expression. "Husband, how could the effect of this cultivation be so good? I feel a significant improvement in my mana."

This was a situation she had never experienced since entering the Dao Body.

Although she and Chen Ling had been dual cultivating for many years, the accumulation of her seductive fire within her body continued, and the higher her cultivation, the faster the seductive fire would be born.

If these enchanting fires can be transformed into spiritual power, it would greatly assist in cultivation.

This is also why female cultivators with the Fire Enchanting Spirit Body do not switch to other cultivation methods and progress slowly.

Otherwise, they have to rely on killing to release the enchanting fire within their bodies.

Just now, with the help of the Yin-Yang Spirit Flame, almost all of the enchanting fire within her body has been completely absorbed and refined.

That's why there is such an effect.

She felt that there was a power in Chen Ling's flames that harmonized with the enchanting fire, allowing her to undergo a transformation.

This feeling is truly indescribable!

Wang Xi, who was already fast asleep, does not have Li Yourong's Fire Enchanting Dao Body. After practicing for one cycle, she is already close to completion.

"This Yin-Yang Spirit Flame has reached Rank One again! It's even easier to control!" Chen Ling chuckled, feeling the exhilaration of freely maneuvering after a long time.

What made him even more delighted was that this double cultivation session directly increased his values by 2.

The effect was truly immediate.

Understanding the Yin-Yang principles has exponentially increased his cultivation speed in the future.

After exchanging a few flirtatious words with Chen Ling, Li Yourong's expression became serious again. She hugged Chen Ling's arm and said, "Husband, I originally planned to go to the Li family's main house in a few years, but this time returning to the old house has changed my mind!"

"The Li family has forcibly taken back our ancestral home and distributed it to other clan members and disciples. In one month, it will be the annual Sword Body Opening Day for the Li family's Gold Core disciples, and I want to participate."

"To reclaim what belongs to me!"

Chen Ling nodded and said in a deep voice, "Rong'er, just focus on participating. No matter what happens, I will support you!"

"But we still need to be prepared and avoid unnecessary risks!"

Li Yourong's eyes flashed with tenderness as she looked deeply at Chen Ling. "Husband, rest assured, I won't do anything reckless for you, Xingyue, and Xingmo!"

[Hint: Your wife Li Yourong's sense of belonging to her family has reached 400%, achieving the achievement of "Fortunate Husband," increasing the Gold Core Value by 20 and the double cultivation bonus by 40.]

[Fortunate Husband: Brings luck to the family; can also be used to complement each other through dual cultivation, improving Dao Foundation, Spiritual Roots, Spirit Body, etc.]

The panel appeared accordingly.

Chen Ling's face lit up slightly. Li Yourong's sense of belonging to her family has reached 400%, and she has achieved the so-called "Fortunate Husband."

Although Chen Ling was still not completely clear about the specific effects of being a "Fortunate Husband" based on the prompt, he roughly understood that it meant assisting in cultivation.

Of course, this assistance was deep and not just limited to spiritual energy.

If that's the case, then in the future, among his wives, if they can reach this value and dual cultivate with him, their progress would double.

If that's the case, then this effect could be considered extremely heaven-defying.

However, reaching a sense of belonging to the family of 400% seems not easy.

For example, Chu Yu and Qin Yelian are only around 250%, and there is little improvement afterwards.

Afterward, the two chatted for a while before Li Yourong fell asleep.

Chen Ling then opened Li Yourong's panel.

Gold Core Value: 35

Spiritual Roots: Middle Grade Gold and Fire Dual Spiritual Roots (Gold 46/100+, Fire 54/100+)

Physique: Fire Enchanting Dao Body (68/100+)

Sword Body: Golden Lotus Sword Body (33/100+)

Realm: Fourth Transformation of Gold Core (12/100)

Double Cultivation Bonus: 40

Cultivation Technique: Qianyuan True Formula (Partial Completion: 63/100)

...

Power of the Law: Flame Law (Low Grade 98/100)

[Family Sense of Belonging: 400%, Achievement Unlocked: Fortunate Husband.]

"Since Yourong is going to the Li family, let's first improve the Sword Body!"

Chen Ling thought to himself.

Immediately, his divine sense added a bit to the Golden Lotus Sword Body.

Suddenly, golden brilliance radiated from Li Yourong's body, and a golden sword lotus condensed and gradually dissipated after a moment.

Chen Ling glanced at the panel again.

Sword Body: Golden Lotus Sword Body (68/100+)

A satisfied expression appeared on Chen Ling's face. With the Fourth Transformation of Gold Core, the Golden Lotus Sword Body, and his close understanding of the three realms of swordsmanship, his combat power would not be in danger unless he encountered a Nascent Soul cultivator.

He then closed the panel and fell asleep, embracing his two wives.
