Chapter 346: Chapter 216: Yu Yalan: Where is Ling Changqing?

However, as long as the Ling Family had enough Nascent Soul True Monarchs of their own, especially after Ling Changqing reached the Nascent Soul Realm, they would no longer fear their interference.

Ling Qiyue finally said, "Let’s just wait and see for now. As long as those people don’t come looking for trouble, we don’t need to pay them any mind."

After a pause, the Female Patriarch’s gaze turned to Ling Changqing, and she said with a radiant smile:

"Husband, you should spend more time with Bingyun and the others, and help them break through to the Golden Core Master Realm as soon as possible, don’t you think?

And if you see any of the female students you fancy, you should take them in as well. The family needs to increase its strength quickly, so you can’t afford to slack off!"

Ling Bingyun, Ling Zhiqing, Song Xuelan, and Ling Menghuan were all at Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation, not far from the Core Formation Realm.

If Ling Changqing was willing to put in more effort with them, it really wouldn’t take long before they could attempt their breakthrough.

Even for Mu Yu Xin, Ling Xueyu, and Yang Yunfei, who were a bit behind, as long as Ling Changqing was willing to dote on them, a rapid increase in their cultivation would be a natural outcome.

"Alright, it’s a deal then!"

Ling Changqing nodded. This was indeed something only he could do; he couldn’t delegate it to others.

Time passed peacefully, and in the blink of an eye, more than a year went by.

With the successive arrival of vast resources from the Illusory Treasure Pavilion and the Gathering Sea Pavilion, the Ling Family’s development quietly accelerated.

Among the one hundred sixty female students Ling Changqing was focused on training, more than half had now reached the Late stage Qi Cultivation.

Besides Yang Yunfei, Xiao Meiniang, Chen Zihan, and Li Hanyou, another eight female students had reached the threshold of Foundation Establishment.

They originally came from various small clans and minor powers in the Feiyu Sea Region, and were already at the Late Middle Stage Qi Cultivation when they first joined the Ling Family.

Therefore, after years of training under Ling Changqing, they now all possessed the qualifications to attempt a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Ling Qiyue was naturally not stingy with them, bestowing each a Foundation Establishment Pill. All that remained was for them to enter cultivation in seclusion, after which they could become Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

It was said that any cultivator who received Ling Changqing’s favor had never yet failed when attempting a breakthrough to a new realm, as long as they didn’t lack the necessary resources. All were able to achieve their goal.

As for the male disciples, although Ling Changqing did not guide them often, five of them had also reached the threshold of Foundation Establishment, and there was no shortage of cultivators at the Late stage Qi Cultivation among them either.

「On this day, in Ling Bingyun’s Cave Mansion Hall.」

"...Husband, I’m going into seclusion now."

At the entrance of the Cultivation Chamber, Ling Bingyun, dressed in a snow-white Magical Robe, her features picturesque and her beauty like a blooming peach blossom, spoke with apprehension.

Ling Changqing wrapped his arm around her smooth, firm waist and said gently:

"My wife, just go. Don’t worry, you will definitely succeed this time."

"Mm, okay."

Ling Bingyun’s beautiful face flushed slightly. She wrapped her enchanting, jade-like arms around him for a kiss, then let go and gracefully walked into the Cultivation Chamber.

All the resources needed for Core Formation were naturally prepared, and with Ling Changqing standing guard to protect her, it was impossible for any accidents to occur.

Several days later, a massive Spiritual Energy Vortex slowly materialized above the Cave Mansion Hall, its imposing pressure growing as it gradually expanded.

Such a phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of numerous onlookers.

"...Huh? What’s going on? Is someone from the Ling Family actually attempting a breakthrough to the Core Formation Realm again?"

"Looks like it. Unbelievable! I wonder who it is this time achieving Core Formation..."

"Judging by this display, the chances of a successful Core Formation are very high!"

"I seem to recall that it hasn’t even been that many years since that Tang Qiu Yao last succeeded in her Core Formation, has it?"

"That’s right. It seems the Ling Family’s power is growing stronger and stronger. They truly live up to their status as the clan that controls the Feiyu Sea Region."

"Sigh... What a shame..."

The numerous cultivators communicated silently with their Divine Thought, their feelings of envy, jealousy, and resentment barely concealed.

For the powers behind them, the birth of any Core Formation Cultivator was no small matter.

It meant a massive investment of resources, many years of arduous cultivation, and an indispensable amount of luck.

Even if all preparations were perfect, it was still possible to fail at the last moment.

However, when it came to the Ling Family, whenever a cultivator attempted a breakthrough to the Core Formation or Foundation Establishment Realm—regardless of whether they were from the main family or an outside Loose Cultivator—the probability of success always seemed to be higher.

No one knew the reason why, but a sort of unspoken understanding had quietly formed among the Loose Cultivators of the Feiyu Sea Region. Any cultivator needing to break through to a new realm would try by any means necessary to come to Changqing Continent and rent a Cave Mansion Hall of the appropriate level for their seclusion.

Time and again, the results proved their speculation correct: the feng shui and Destiny of Changqing Continent were simply stronger than other places.

And this was indeed the truth. In the eyes of the two Reincarnated Great Powers, Meng Feiyu and Xue Qingtan, the Ling Family of Changqing Continent’s Destiny was now so flourishing that it was more than ten times greater than that of veteran Golden Core powers, and it was still continuing to grow.

Even the combined Destiny of the eleven Core Formation powers in the Chixue Sea Region could only barely match the Ling Family’s, as they were not a unified entity.

In another three to five years, it was inevitable that the Ling Family’s Destiny would completely surpass that of these powers.

In the Clan Assembly Hall, Ling Qiyue had already given the order to activate the Grand Array, just in case.

Although she didn’t think any fool would be blind enough to cause trouble, it was always better to be prepared.

「Two days later, in the outer seas of Changqing Continent.」

A long, slender, pitch-black Flying Ship brushed past the floating clouds in the sky, leisurely sailing closer.

On the small deck, the three women, Yu Yalan, Yu Youqin, and Yu Ruoshuang, stood leaning against the railing.
