Then again, they might have run into cultivators from another family instead.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Changqing finished reading in silence and put away the Jade Talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Under the circumstances, contacting them is out of the question. Ideally, we shouldn't make contact at all until the tempering in Dragon Soul Valley is over.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Flow Shadow Ice Cicada and the others wouldn't give up so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If, in the near future, the Liu Ying Clan's ancestor showed up at his door with them to propose marriage—and even produced a marriage contract as proof—Ling Changqing truly wouldn't know how to handle the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For now... I can only take it one step at a time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Changqing muttered to himself, rising from the rock and taking a stroll over to the nearby river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sword-light flashed, and by the time Ling Changqing returned, he was holding five or six large, two-foot-long fish with scales as hard as blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took three Jade Furnaces, each half a man's height, from his Storage Pouch. He set them up by the large rock, added water, and started a fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he scaled and cleaned the large fish, adding them to the cauldrons along with various mountain delicacies and Spirit Medicines he had gathered along the way to stew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the broth in the cauldrons turned a milky white, giving off a rich aroma and faintly shimmering with an iridescent glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the fish was cooked through, Ling Changqing took out a bowl, chopsticks, and a jug of Spirit Wine, and began to feast with great relish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Soul Valley was suffused with abundant Spiritual Qi, making the local fish incredibly tender, savory, and smooth—equivalent to meat from a Peak Second Rank Spirit Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he had eaten and drunk his fill, Ling Changqing packed up his things and set off again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he drew closer to the Luoying Mountain Range, the number of cultivators in the sky increased noticeably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, entire groups of cultivators would rush past on their Flying Swords, creating a grand and imposing spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivators from the Yin, Feng, Hao, Cui, and even the Yu Family all made an appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This is getting a little troublesome...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Changqing muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It seems many cultivators have their eyes on the opportunity in the Luoying Mountain Range. Are they all coming to try their luck?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If that's the case, getting my hands on that opportunity without anyone noticing will be a next-to-impossible task.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Perhaps... my only option is to fish in troubled waters.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist! Please wait! I don't believe we've met.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright, youthful voice suddenly called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Changqing glanced over his shoulder to see two Female Cultivators in colorful robes and red skirts riding their Flying Swords, rushing toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Again?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but feel frustrated. 'I've already disguised my face and changed into these magnificent black robes. How am I still getting noticed?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a mere thought, the Flying Sword beneath Ling Changqing's feet erupted in a silver glow and shot off into the distance at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Fellow Daoist, why are you running? Wait a minute! Could you be Ling Changqing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Female Cultivators were stunned for a moment, then, suddenly overjoyed, they pushed their swords to top speed and gave chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Fellow Daoist Ling, don't go! We have something for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Ling, we're from the Direct Lineage of the Yu Family! Our ancestor wants to take you as a son-in-law!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, regardless of their threats and promises, the unfamiliar cultivator ahead didn't respond. In the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Sister Yu'Er, what was that all about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another large contingent of cultivators descended from the sky, and the man in the lead asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dejected-looking Female Cultivator replied helplessly, \"I suspect that cultivator was Ling Changqing. Unfortunately, he was too fast. We couldn't catch him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was it really him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man looked surprised. \"Then let's all follow and take a look. He must be heading toward the Luoying Mountain Range!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, let's go together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Female Cultivator said resentfully, \"When we catch him, I'm going to ask that guy to his face: I'm not some hideous monster, so does he really need to be that scared of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",723,"2026-06-06T12:19:57.037Z",1,"novelbin.me","ec9328f9bfc0e6ca2653167e8887cd47e77dd8e0ec6227573308d3cd237d7826","eternal-life-by-dual-cultivation-chapter-208","eternal-life-by-dual-cultivation-chapter-206",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-by-dual-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
