Eternal Life by Dual Cultivation-Chapter 155 - 125: Ling Bingyun: I Considered You My Dao Companion, But You Wanted to...

Inside the Spirit Vein Cave Mansion.

In an extremely private inner chamber filled with a faint fragrance, Qin Yun and Ling Changqing sat across from each other, sipping wine and discussing cultivation. Ling Bingyun attended to them at their side.

This peerlessly beautiful woman, as gentle and serene as water yet as elegant and alluring as a vixen, was dressed in a thin, translucent, ink-black gown that made her flawless, snow-white skin seem all the more dazzling.

The neckline, trimmed with an exquisite floral pattern, was cut daringly low. So low, in fact, that the view of those perfectly shaped, majestic "snowy peaks" was right before him, pressed together to form a ravine so deep it seemed bottomless. For a moment, he found it impossible to tear his eyes away.

In any case, Ling Changqing felt he had little resistance to such a beautiful sight.

Of course, Ling Bingyun's figure was hardly inferior to her mother's; she was just as tall and voluptuous, her graceful and bewitching curves drawing the eye.

"...Junior Brother Ling, how about a taste of this Drunken Red Dust? It's a new recipe I've just perfected!"

Qin Yun said in a soft, hushed voice, her beautiful face flushed crimson.

Ling Bingyun lightly raised a fair wrist, lifted the exquisite White Jade Wine Pot, and filled the Bronze Wine Jar in front of Ling Changqing to the brim.

Ling Changqing acknowledged her, raising the Wine Jar in a small gesture of thanks before slowly drinking its contents.

"It's really quite good!"

he praised with satisfaction. He set down the Wine Jar, and Ling Bingyun immediately refilled it.

This Spirit Wine Nectar was brewed with a variety of precious Grade Two Spirit Medicine and Spiritual Herbs. The taste was impeccable, but its after-effects were extremely potent, requiring one to sip it slowly and sparingly.

Of course, Ling Changqing was practically a Body Cultivator now, and his Physique was far stronger than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so he could withstand it with ease.

The mother and daughter, however, lacked his fortitude. After just two small cups, their beautiful eyes grew hazy, their faces flushed crimson, and even their breathing became slightly labored.

Qin Yun's smile was radiant, her lovely face flushed a deep red. She said in a sultry voice:

"This Spirit Wine isn't easy to brew, but if Junior Brother Ling enjoys it, I'll be sure to prepare more in the future."

"Whenever you feel like having some, just come over for a visit! You can also guide Bingyun on her cultivation homework while you're here!"

Ling Changqing hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Alright."

He naturally understood the mother and daughter's intentions. 'But it's not like it's a bad thing for me,' he thought, 'so there's no need to play hard to get.'

Seeing him agree, a blush crept up Ling Bingyun's lovely face. A flirtatious glimmer rippled through her beautiful, lustrous eyes as she raised the wine pot and once again filled his Wine Jar.

"Oh, that reminds me. I went traveling this time and came across some opportunities in the Immortal Mansion Ruins. I found two things that happen to be perfect for you, Senior Sister."

Ling Changqing said, setting down his Wine Jar and rummaging through his Storage Pouch.

"Really?"

The two women were momentarily stunned, their beautiful eyes watching him with a hint of anticipation.

After a moment, Ling Changqing took out two Jade Scrolls shimmering with Spiritual Light and handed them to Qin Yun.

One Jade Scroll contained the cultivation notes of a Third Grade Talisman Master, filled with many unique insights and secrets regarding the Path of Talisman.

The other Jade Scroll recorded an illustrated catalog of various powerful Talismans, along with notes on how to create them, covering everything from Rank One to Third Grade.

For any Talisman Master below Rank Four, these were considered exceptionally rare and precious treasures.

"...Words can't express my gratitude. I'll remember this favor, Junior Brother Ling!"

Qin Yun's shimmering eyes shone brightly, and her soft, sultry voice trembled slightly. This opportunity was indeed extremely precious to her.

As long as she studied them diligently, Qin Yun could soon become a Second Rank Talisman Master, and Ling Bingyun could follow in her footsteps in the future.

"As long as they're useful to you, Senior Sister, that's all that matters. There's no need for such formalities between us," Ling Changqing said gently.

'I have no interest in the Path of Talisman myself,' he thought. 'It's only natural to give this opportunity to someone suitable, so it can be put to its proper use.'

'Besides, once Qin Yun and her daughter become Second Rank Talisman Masters, it will further strengthen the family's foundation.'

After a brief hesitation, Ling Changqing took out a stack of Talismans and said:

"These samples are also from the Immortal Mansion Ruins. Unfortunately, they're so old that they've nearly lost all their power. I'm not sure if you'll have any use for them, Senior Sister..."

"It's fine. Even if their effects have faded, they will still be excellent for reference and study."

Qin Yun said with a radiant smile. She reached out to take them and carefully stored them in her Storage Pouch.

'With these finished samples to use as a reference,' she thought, 'it probably won't be long before I can create identical Second Grade Talismans myself.'

She glanced over at Ling Bingyun and suddenly noticed an elegantly shaped Red Jade Hairpin pinned in her daughter's hair, shimmering with Spiritual Light. Judging by its quality, it had to be a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Since Ling Bingyun had yet to reach Foundation Establishment, this Spiritual Artifact was indeed a suitable gift for her.

Obviously, this must have also been a gift from Ling Changqing.

Qin Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. 'It seems this man does have some feelings for my daughter after all. I guess I don't need to keep scheming on her behalf.'

Taking a delicate sip of the Spirit Wine, the flush on her lovely face deepening, Qin Yun continued:

"Junior Brother Ling, this girl of mine, Bingyun, is already at the Peak of the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation. She'll soon be entering Cultivation in Seclusion to attempt her breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm. So, I was thinking…"

Ling Changqing nodded. "That's not a problem. You can set your mind at ease, Senior Sister."

'Last time, I promised to stand guard for Ling Bingyun and lend her a hand with my Luck and Fortune. With that, her breakthrough to Foundation Establishment should be all but guaranteed.'

The three of them continued to drink and chat, and before they knew it, the pot of Spirit Wine was empty.

Qin Yun gave a subtle, meaningful glance, which Ling Bingyun immediately understood. With a blush on her pretty face, she excused herself and departed.

When she returned, she had changed into a translucent silk-gauze gown. Her waterfall of long hair cascaded down her back. The neckline was cut so low that her majestic "snowy peaks" were on full display, her skin a dazzling white against the fabric.
