Fu Yin Xue's secret induction meant the Ling Family now had another Golden Core Master watching over them.

If she had been somewhat apprehensive and resigned when she first approached them, all her worries vanished after meeting Ling Changqing.

As long as he was around, her future path of cultivation was assured. All other problems seemed insignificant now.

There were no battles in the Feiyu Sea Region at present, so after some consideration, Ling Qiyue decided to assign Fu Yin Xue to teach and guide the new recruits, lightening Ling Changqing's burden.

Fu Yin Xue gladly accepted. For a Golden Core Master of her level, guiding a group of disciples in the Early stage Qi Cultivation was practically overkill.

「The sun rose and the moon set; a year passed quietly in their peaceful lives.」

Under the principle of remaining anonymous and developing in a low-key manner, the upper echelons of the Ling Family rarely ventured out anymore. Even when they did, they never left the Feiyu Sea Region.

External trade for resources was conducted mainly through the local branches of the Xingyun sun Commerce Association and the Xianyin Pavilion, as well as a few other ordinary foreign merchant organizations.

With a large influx of Cultivation Resources into the family's treasury and the dedicated guidance of Ling Changqing and Fu Yin Xue, the Ling Family's training program for new members progressed quite smoothly.

On average, a new Foundation Establishment Cultivator was produced within the family every four to five months, and the number of cultivators at the Late stage Qi Cultivation would also increase by several.

For an established Golden Core power, this rate of progress would be considered standard. But for the Ling Family, a newly promoted Golden Core power, such a performance was quite outstanding.

Moreover, as time went on, Ling Changqing was confident he could further increase their training efficiency. Provided the supply of resources was sufficient, perhaps they could produce a Foundation Establishment Cultivator every three months?

Barring any accidents, in another twenty to thirty years, the Ling Family's weakness—a lack of Foundation Establishment combatants—would be rectified. They would even produce a number of Pseudo Core masters.

In any case, Ling Qiyue was not in a hurry. Half of ambition is patience. To a Golden Core power, a mere twenty or thirty years was nothing at all.

「On this day,」 Ling Changqing went to the Deep Sea Ocean for his routine Cultivation, accompanied by Xue Qingtan and Tang Qiu Yao.

When cultivating Water Element Cultivation Technique Divine Techniques, the Deep Sea Ocean environment was naturally the most suitable place, especially for a High rank Technique like the Supreme Profound Oceanic Soft Water Technique.

Three hundred zhang deep on the seabed, Ling Changqing sat cross-legged on a dark reef. A pale silver barrier of light enveloped him, repelling the immense pressure of the sea.

This was one of the Water Control Divine Techniques derived from the Supreme Profound Oceanic Soft Water Technique. It could draw upon Sunflower Essence to form a tough, protective shield.

Outside the shield, the frigid seawater spun rapidly around Ling Changqing, forming a massive whirlpool dozens of zhang in diameter.

From time to time, faint wisps of light emerged from the depths of the whirlpool and merged into Ling Changqing's body, like a flock of birds returning to their forest.

This faint light was the Profound Water Essence from the ocean, which possessed the miraculous ability to moisten all life and nourish all of creation.

This was the cultivation method of the Supreme Profound Oceanic Soft Water Technique. The higher one's Realm, the larger the whirlpool's diameter, and the more Profound Water Essence one could absorb and refine per unit of time.

As the Profound Water Essence integrated into Ling Changqing's body drop by drop, his physical body, organs, meridians, bones, and even his entire Essence, Qi, and Spirit underwent a slow transformation.

This was a sublimation that progressed from the inside out, a complete rebirth of his very essence of life. It was said that if one cultivated this technique to its highest level, their Magical Power could rival that of the legendary Ancient Water Gods.

Ling Changqing wasn't thinking that far ahead. He was simply proceeding methodically, aiming to break through to the Golden Core Master Realm as soon as possible. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The massive whirlpool emanated an invisible pressure, driving away the nearby sea fish and Sea Beasts. No foolhardy creature dared to approach and court disaster.

In the distance, Xue Qingtan and Tang Qiu Yao, acting as his Guardians, stood by quietly, communicating silently with their Divine Thought:

"...Our husband's Cultivation is progressing really quickly!"

"Of course. With his foundation as a Child of Destiny, the Golden Core Master Realm is probably nothing to him, right? I, for one, am looking forward to the day he breaks through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm."

"Well... even if there are no bottlenecks, it will still take a considerable amount of time, won't it? At least eighty to a hundred years, I'd say!"

"About right. Take the Golden Core Masters outside, for example. Even if everything goes smoothly, it usually takes them two to three hundred years to complete their accumulation!"

Tang Qiu Yao fell silent for a moment. Thanks to her continuous Dual Cultivation with Ling Changqing, her own Cultivation had also reached the Foundation Establishment Peak.

However, she would probably have to wait a while longer before she could attempt to break through to the Golden Core Master Realm.

She had a feeling that keeping up with Ling Changqing's pace would not be so easy in the future, but she could at least ensure she wouldn't be left too far behind.

As for Xue Qingtan, although she hadn't been a Golden Core Master for long, judging by the speed of her cultivation improvement, she would likely catch up to Ling Qiyue's level sooner or later.

This was hardly surprising. After all, she was the reincarnation of a former Great Power. Even without her past life's cultivation and memories, recultivating was much easier for her than for most other cultivators.

At that moment, Ling Changqing was communicating with the Era Star Palace inside his body.

In his Sea of Consciousness, a message exuding a mysterious Dao Rhyme silently appeared:
