Chapter 454: Retreating in the Cave
After leaving Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingming headed north. Compared with when he was in Guyang Mountain, this time he was not in too much of a hurry. He walked day and night along the way until ten After a few days, we slowly passed through the northern part of Weiguo and entered the Fuyun Mountains.
Perhaps because of the approaching demonic beast turmoil in Northern Xinjiang, there are now far fewer monks on the edge of the Fuyun Mountains than before. After entering the territory of the monster beast, Song Qingming slowly increased the speed of the flying sword under his feet and rushed towards his destination this time.
After seven or eight days of flying all the way, the flying sword at Song Qingming's feet finally fell from the air and stopped on the edge of a large river.
After carefully looking around and discovering that there were no traces of the monks coming, Song Qingming walked to a small pool not far from the river, launched a blue water spell and jumped directly into it, passing through the darkness. After flowing through the water, Song Qingming soon came to a cave hidden under the pool.
As soon as he walked into the gate of the cave, Song Qingming suddenly saw a blazing fire cloud coming in front of him. He quickly cast a spell and opened the mysterious light armor that he had practiced for many years. After struggling hard, he finally blocked the blow.
Before Song Qingming could breathe a sigh of relief, another more violent fire cloud rushed towards him. Anxious Song Qingming immediately shouted: "Senior Qingluan, don't be excited, it's me. !”
After Song Qingming’s panicked shouting, the fire cloud that was almost in front of him slowly stopped and disappeared from Song Qingming’s eyes.
After a while, a big blue bird, much taller than Song Qingming, slowly walked towards him with a somewhat arrogant pace.
"It's you, kid. Didn't I send a message saying that it would be a few days before coming? Why did you arrive early again?"
Hearing Qingluan's sarcastic voice, Song Qingming slowly squeezed out an embarrassed smile on his face, and said slowly: "Originally, it took two days to arrive. I was afraid that you, senior, would be anxious here, so I speeded up. I have made some steps, seniors, please don’t give birth to anything Angry!"
"Huh! Your Highness originally asked me to come here and wait for you. Wouldn't it be better if you arrived earlier? Why should I be angry? Do I look angry?" Qing Luan said. His big eyes looked closely at Song Qingming.
"Haha! It's not like that, it's not like that. It's just that the junior has made a mistake. Senior, please don't mind. These things were specially brought by the junior to give to the senior this time. The senior will have to work hard for a while. , I hope senior will not take it too seriously."
Seeing that Qingluan's words seemed unfriendly, Song Qingming quickly took out a pile of delicious pastries and spiritual wine that had been prepared. , placed directly in front of Qingluan.
"You are becoming more and more sensible, but I have to tell you beforehand. His Highness sent me to see the people who live in this cave this time. I am not here specifically to listen to your orders. Don’t expect me to do anything for you.”
Seeing Qingluan happily taking away all the spiritual objects he had just offered, Song Qingming slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Faced with this aunt who always set fire to him, to be honest, he still felt a little bit in his heart. Afraid of her.
After temporarily dealing with Qingluan's side, Song Qingming turned around with a calm face and walked into a stone gate inside the cave, arriving at a spring that was restricted and sealed by a formation.
Looking at the small spring in front of him that was constantly emitting pure spiritual energy, Song Qingming's face suddenly showed a hint of joy. Next, he was going to prepare to retreat here and hit the golden elixir realm again.
The place where Song Qingming prepared to form elixirs this time was the Golden elixir monk cave that he, Gao Yuyao, Duan Xueyi and others found when they went deep into the Fuyun Mountains. The small spring in front of them was found by a few of them together. The "fountain of inspiration".
The reason why Song Qingming did not choose to go to the place where the fire phoenix was when he formed the elixir for the first time this time, but ran to this abandoned golden elixir cave thousands of miles away, was precisely because of what he saw in front of him. It is the "spring of inspiration".
After discovering this place with Gao Yuyao and the others, Song Qingming also heard from Duan Xueyi that the "Lingji Spring" was useful for monks to break through realms and form pills.
But at that time, Song Qingming only heard Duan Xueyi's explanation of this thing from her own mouth, and was not sure how much help this "spiritual spring" could help monks form pills.
In addition, this place is located deep in the Fuyun Mountains. There are many high-level monsters nearby, as well as monster kings of level three or above. Generally, monks come here to form elixirs. It is basically the same as seeking death. Leaving from here Later, Song Qingming didn't take this matter to heart.
In the past ten years or so since he failed to form a pill with Huofeng, Song Qingming would often analyze the reasons for his final failure and make some preparations in advance for his next pill formation.
In this situation, Song Qingming suddenly remembered the cave he had visited and the "spiritual spring" inside.
For this reason, Song Qingming deliberately searched for many books introducing various spiritual veins in the world of immortality, and finally found the detailed records and introductions of the "Spiritual Intelligence Spring" in front of him. After a closer look, he discovered that, as Duan Xueyi said, this The pure spiritual energy produced in the "Lingji Spring Eye" does have a certain effect on monks forming elixirs. When a monk forms an elixir, he needs to spend a lot of time purifying the mana in his body first. This is very important when condensing the golden elixir later. Once the mana in the body is not pure enough and contains some flaws, the subsequent step of condensing the golden elixir will easily fall short. , the last time Song Qingming failed to break through the golden elixir, he also failed at the step of condensing the elixir.
After understanding the function of the "Lingji Spring", Song Qingming quickly made up his mind to place the location of the pill formation here.
Because it was too dangerous to form pills here, after Song Qingming offered many spiritual objects to Huofeng over the years, he finally convinced her and asked Huofeng to send Qingluan here specially. Help him protect this cave for the time being.
With Qingluan, the demon king, naturally, the nearby demonic beasts would not dare to come here to disturb Song Qingming's elixir formation. The only thing he was worried about was that once Song Qingming successfully formed the elixir, the strangeness between heaven and earth that would last for several days The elephant will definitely attract other demon kings nearby. When the time comes, there will only be one demon king, Qingluan, guarding this place. I wonder if she can protect herself.
Song Qingming originally wanted to discuss with Huofeng and ask the stronger Long Feng to come over and help him protect the law. However, he didn't expect that Long Feng was not around during this period, so Huofeng arranged to go elsewhere to do things for her. , then he had no choice but to invite Qingluan, the hot-tempered aunt over.
After checking that there was nothing wrong with the "Lingji Spring", Song Qingming quickly tidied up and cleaned up the stone room where he was going to retreat. After all, he would stay here for a long time. Time, facing the dust all over the floor, sometimes makes people feel a little unhappy.
Just when Song Qingming placed a ban at the door and was about to start retreat, Qingluan from outside came over again and threw a small wooden box to Song Qingming.
"This is what His Highness asked me to bring to you. Although the effect of this fruit is not as good as the red and green fruit last time, it should be somewhat helpful to you in forming pills. Your Highness said that I would lend this to you first. , you still have to find a way to return the things to her in the future, but don’t forget it.”
After Qingluan finished speaking, he left on his own, no longer caring about the small wooden box in his hand. Song Qingming stood aside blankly.
Because the pill formation failed last time and the many spiritual objects given by Huo Feng were wasted, Song Qingming retreated to form pills this time. He was not embarrassed to ask her for pill formation spiritual objects again, so he just tried to borrow some from Huo Feng. Strength helps him protect the law.
Song Qingming also didn’t expect that most of the time, he and he would each get the fire phoenix they needed, but this time he would actually ask Qingluan to bring him a spiritual object to assist in forming pills. I was suddenly a little surprised.
Facing the usually aloof Nascent Demon Emperor, although Song Qingming treated her respectfully, he always regarded her as his partner in his heart. When dealing with her, Song Qingming also tried his best to remain calm. The two parties do not owe each other, so as not to ask for too much from her, and the other party will come to her door if she cannot pay back.
Facing the small wooden box that Huofeng took the initiative to send this time, Song Qingming felt a warm feeling in his heart. After opening it and taking a look, he found that it contained a white pill that was not much larger than an ordinary pill. Spiritual fruit.
Although the spiritual energy emitted by this fruit is not as rich as the red and green fruit that I had taken back then, it is far beyond ordinary second-level spiritual objects. It must also be a third-level spiritual fruit.
When Song Qingming just received the small wooden box, he heard Qingluan mention that this fruit had similar effects to the red and green fruit, and he probably knew the function of this fruit, which should also be used to strengthen the Dantian in the monk's body.
After arranging the restraining array, Song Qingming calmed down and sat back on the edge of the "Spring of Spiritual Intelligence". He meditated patiently to calm his mind and prepared to start retreat to attack the golden elixir bottleneck.
Because there is another spiritual fruit given to him by the Fire Phoenix, Song Qingming still has to refine this spiritual fruit and strengthen his Dantian as he did before forming the pill last time.
After opening the wooden box and swallowing the spiritual fruit in one gulp, Song Qingming immediately felt a huge amount of spiritual power coming out of his body, going straight to the Dantian in his belly.
Because the quality of the spiritual fruit he took this time was worse than the red green fruit he had taken more than ten years ago, the impact of spiritual power felt by Song Qingming's Dantian this time was better than the last time. many.
Coupled with the experience of refining the Red Green Fruit last time, Song Qingming now faced the impact of this spiritual power and did not feel too much pressure. Instead, his Dantian absorbed and refined more. This spiritual fruit contained Those spiritual powers.
It only took less than a month for Song Qingming to completely refine and absorb the white spirit fruit given to him by Huofeng. He also used much less than the last time, although he had to take it directly. , still wasting about 20% of the spiritual power in the spiritual fruit, but compared to the last time he refined the red and green fruit, this is already a big improvement.
