After guessing the purpose of the other party's visit, Song Qingming did not intend to hide the matter, and immediately took the initiative to tell Zhao Mengli and Zhao Mengli who came here about Song Qingyu's success in forming pills.
Hearing what Song Qingming said, Zhao Menglian and Chu Fengping looked at each other and quickly said with a smile: "I didn't expect that someone in Junior Brother Song's family would successfully form an elixir. This is really What a happy event.
Such a good thing is rare, and we just want to be happy, so let’s bother Junior Brother Song!”
“Haha! Senior Sister Zhao, don’t be polite, come on!”
"Junior Brother Song please come first!"
After the three people exchanged a few polite words on the spot, they quickly turned into a ball of escaping light and passed through the mountain guarding formation and entered Funiu Mountain.
Although the arrival of Zhao Mengli and the two men was somewhat unexpected, Song Qingming still made some preparations in his mind. He took them directly without paying attention to the clansmen who were still busy at the banquet outside the meeting hall. Went to a loft on the top of the mountain that the family had built not long ago.
This loft has three floors and is built directly on the edge of a cliff at the top of Funiu Mountain. Because there are no surrounding mountains and trees to block it, standing in the building can easily overlook the beautiful scenery around Funiu Mountain. This is one of the best scenic spots on Lingshan Mountain.
In recent years, as the Song family has been promoted to the Golden Pill Immortal Clan, the number of high-level monks visiting Funiu Mountain has suddenly increased. They always entertain distinguished guests in the family meeting hall or their own cave, Song Qingming It also feels a lot shabby.
So he ordered Song Yuanfang and the others to choose a place with better scenery on Funiu Mountain and build this large pavilion called "Huixian Pavilion" to receive those traveling to and from Funiu Mountain. A more distinguished guest.
After Song Qingming and the others entered the "Huixian Pavilion", they went directly to the top floor of the third floor. After the three of them sat down in a hall, several Song family disciples soon brought out the food that had been prepared. Spiritual fruit and spiritual tea.
"Senior Sister Zhao and Senior Brother Chu, our homes are slightly cold, and there are no high-level spiritual objects to entertain us. These spiritual teas and spiritual fruits are unique to our Qinghe County, so I hope you don’t dislike them!"< br>
Chu Fengping looked at the beautiful scenery outside the surrounding windows, took a sip of the spiritual tea at hand, and smiled at Song Qingming. Said:
“The scenery here is pleasant and it is indeed a geomantic treasure. No wonder there are two golden elixir monks, Junior Brother Song and Your Sister.
If it were placed a hundred years ago, I am afraid that No one would have thought that the Song family in Funiu Mountain, Qinghe County, could achieve the feat of having one master and two golden elixirs today!”
When Song Qingming heard this, he replied somewhat modestly: "Senior Brother Chu, this is a polite statement. It is not unclear to you. I was able to successfully form elixirs back then only because of the guidance of my seniors.
If not, don’t say I can support you Qingyu Dan, I am afraid that I can only waste my life in the realm of foundation building, and it is difficult to enter the golden elixir avenue."
Seeing this, Chu Fengping shook his head again and said: "Junior Brother Song said this. Sorry, last time you and I were apart for just a few years, Master My brother's cultivation has reached the fourth level of the Golden Core. It can be seen that the speed of your cultivation is no worse than ours.
It is natural for us cultivators to receive guidance and support from senior masters. It's a great opportunity, but if junior brother really For a person with ordinary talent, even if someone wants to support him, it is extremely difficult for him to form an elixir.
If Junior Brother can be favored by that senior, I think there must be something extraordinary about you, and Junior Brother Song should not be too generous. Too self-effacing.”
"Junior brother Chu is right. There are so many elite inner sect disciples in the sect, and most of them have been supported by senior teachers like us. There are also very few people who can successfully form elixirs.
Song If junior brother and your sister are able to successfully form elixirs, it is impossible for them to achieve enlightenment just by being supported by outsiders.
I don’t know what your sister’s talent is. Could you please introduce me to me and junior brother Chu? Get to know people well , this rising star who has just formed a pill!"
Hearing Zhao Menglian's words, Song Qingming nodded slightly and said: "I have just asked people to invite Qingyu to come over. The two senior brothers will wait a moment. She should be there soon too "We're almost there."
As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, there was a soft sound of footsteps downstairs. Not long after, Song Qingyu tied up her long hair and wore a blue robe, walking slowly. Walked into the hall.
"Qingyu, come and meet Senior Sister Zhao and Senior Brother Chu!" After seeing Song Qingyu's figure, Song Qingming quickly stood up and introduced them.
Chu Fengping and Zhao Menglian came to Funiu Mountain ten years ago to participate in Song Yuanhao's foundation building celebration. Song Qingyu naturally knew them and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them and bow to them.
"Qingyu has met Senior Zhao and Senior Chu!"
Hearing this, Chu Fengping waved his hand slightly and said: "Alas! Fellow Taoist Qingyu has successfully formed the elixir. People of our generation, from now on we will still interact with each other as equals, don’t "Be polite."
Zhao Mengli, who was sitting on the side, took a closer look at Song Qingyu, and he didn't pay much attention to this little girl who always stood behind Song Qingming when he came to Funiu Mountain. There was also a bit more admiration in his eyes.
"Junior Brother Song, your sister is not only talented, but also handsome and unique in appearance. Compared with my incompetent disciples, she is indeed much better. It is no wonder that she has the opportunity to enjoy the golden elixir avenue.
i Seeing that her cultivation talent is not inferior to mine, and she is so young and promising, she may be ahead of us in the future."
Song Qingming shook his head slightly and said, "Haha! Senior Sister Zhao is far behind in cultivation now. Jindanhou The future is only one step away, and maybe we will have the opportunity to break into the Nascent Soul Avenue like Senior Sister Bai.
The current cultivation levels of the few of us are still slightly inferior to yours. , Senior Sister Zhao, neither can you You are too flattering to us!”
After a few more reserved words in the hall, Song Qingyu left first because he had to attend the banquet held for her and accept the congratulations from everyone outside the meeting hall. Went.
When Song Qingyu had just left, Zhao Mengli on the side suddenly asked Song Qingming seriously: "Junior brother Song, since Qingyu has successfully formed the pill, have you thought about what to do?"
" Senior Sister Zhao, I really don’t agree with you. Qingyu and I haven’t thought about these things in such a hurry. If you don’t come today, I won’t. I came here with the intention of going to the sect in a few days to report the matter to the head brother and ask for his opinion.
Senior Sister Zhao, since you are here today, why not give me some advice? It will give us some confidence in the future!" After Song Qingming finished speaking, he stood up and slightly arched his hands to Zhao Mengli with a hint of expectation.
Zhao Mengli has just said this. Song Qingming also knows that when she comes this time, she must have brought some thoughts about Song Qingyu's pill formation.
Similar to Song Qingming, Song Qingyu was born in the Song family, and was apparently a monk belonging to the vassal forces of the Xiaoyao Sect. Since the pill formation was successful, the Xiaoyao Sect naturally wanted to win over him.
For Xiaoyao Sect, the best result would be for Song Qingyu to join the sect directly, integrate into Xiaoyao Sect and become a sect Jindan elder.
But this also depends on how much the sect trusts her. After all, Song Qingyu is not a golden elixir monk trained step by step by Xiaoyao Sect.
The second thing is that like Song Qingming, he joined the Xiaoyao Sect and became a guest elder of the sect. He could not participate in other affairs of the sect on weekdays and enjoy some of the benefits that the sect elders should have.
But when it comes to critical moments when they need to contribute, they, the guest elders, like other monks in the sect, still need to accept the sect’s recruitment at all times.
In addition to these two points, Song Qingyu can also choose not to join the sect, stay in his own family, and become a golden elixir monk nominally affiliated with Xiaoyao Sect.
In this case, there is more freedom. The recruitment order issued by Xiaoyao Sect will only be given to the family, not the individual. You still have a choice whether you want to accept the recruitment and contribute to the sect.
If Song Qingyu is not willing to work hard for the sect, he can find some excuses for seclusion, or he can use excuses to travel out in advance. Faced with this situation, Xiaoyao Sect cannot say much on the face of it.
However, those who choose not to join the sect obviously do not want to be involved too much with the sect. For such a Jindan monk, no matter how high his cultivation level is, Xiaoyao Sect will definitely not dare to treat him sincerely. your.
Seeing that Song Qingming had brought the problem to him again, Zhao Menglian showed a hint of joy and said: "Junior Brother Song, you also know what Junior Brother Chu and I are like. We did bring palms with us this time. Brother Men and Li Master's thoughts.
When we came, Master Li had already promised that if Qing Yu wanted to join the sect, he could directly become his disciple.
< br>
Junior Brother Song, you also know that Master Li has not casually accepted a direct disciple for many years. This is a rare opportunity. If you are willing, we will directly inform Master Li of this matter after we return. "
"This! Did Master Li really say that? "
Hearing that Li Mufeng wanted to accept Song Qingyu as his direct disciple, Song Qingming's face showed a hint of surprise, and he confirmed with some surprise.
As the only Yuan of Xiaoyao Sect, Li Mufeng Elder Ying Taishang spends most of his time and energy on his own cultivation, and the sect's major and minor affairs are basically handed over to him. It was given to Yao Qianshu and other Jindan elders to take care of.
In addition to having a few direct disciples in his early years when he was still in the Jindan stage, since Li Mufeng broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, there have been many. It has been hundreds of years since he accepted a direct disciple. This is something everyone in Xiaoyao Sect knows, and Song Qingming naturally knows it.
"Senior Sister Zhao is right. Senior Uncle Li also told me when this matter came up. Please rest assured, Junior Brother Song. No matter what, the two of us will never be bored and come to Funiu Mountain to tease you and talk nonsense. "
Seeing that Song Qingming still seemed a little unconvinced, Chu Fengping on the side also hurriedly confirmed.
Song Qingming looked a little confused when he heard this: "Of course I trust the two senior brothers, but I have also asked her for her personal opinion before. After my sister-in-law forms the elixir, she still wants to stay here first. The clan members are devoted to cultivation and have no plans to join the sect for the time being, although they are highly regarded by Master Li. Such a good opportunity is in front of me, but I am still a little worried that Qingyu's character will not be able to accept it, so I am a little embarrassed."
Before the arrival of Zhao Mengli and the others. , In fact, Song Qingming had already discussed with Song Qingyu how to deal with the sect's wooing next.
Different from the situation when Song Qingming formed the elixir, now Song Qingyu has received a copy of the sword intention inheritance left by senior Yuanying, and has the help of his elder brother Song Qingming.
Even if she is in the clan, her career prospects will not be much worse than Elder Jindan of Xiaoyao Sect. There is indeed no need to directly integrate into the sect.
At most, like Song Qingming, for the sake of convenience in the future, just join the sect and bear the name of the guest elder.
No matter what, Song Qingming definitely doesn’t want her to join the sect directly now.
However, what was a bit surprising was that Song Qingming did not expect that Li Mufeng would directly accept Song Qingyu as his direct disciple.
When Song Qingming heard the news, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Junior Brother Song, do you mean that Qingyu will not be willing to join Master Li's sect?" Zhao Menglian said slightly confused.
Song Qingming sighed slightly and said: "Senior Sister Zhao doesn't know something. Qingyu has a straightforward nature and is not very good at turning corners. Even I have a hard time persuading her when she sees things clearly.
In the final analysis, it is still my fault that my brother is usually too protective of her and makes her sexually I'm a little indulgent, and I hope the two senior brothers will forgive me.
How about you give me some more time for this matter. I will talk to Qingyu again. If it still doesn't work, I will go to the sect in person. If you apologize to Master Li, you will definitely not embarrass your two senior brothers!”
Even though he knew that his answer might discredit Li Mufeng, a Yuanying monk, and arouse some suspicion among the sect, Song Qingming still did not hesitate too much and directly confessed his thoughts to Zhao Mengli and the other two. .
Hearing Song Qingming’s answer, Zhao Menglian’s eyes quickly flashed with a hint of surprise, then nodded and said:
“Oh! This is indeed a bit regretful, but they These younger generation people have their own ideas, which is not a bad thing. Junior Brother Song should not be too worried. I think Master Li will also understand this matter. .
However, if Qingyu doesn’t want to join the sect now, she can also serve as the sect’s guest elder like her junior brother.
This way she doesn’t have to stay away from home, which will affect her future path. It will definitely be more beneficial. It should be a matter of getting the best of both worlds. I wonder if Junior Brother Song can make the decision?”
Seeing that Zhao Mengli and Chu Fengping's eyes turned to him again, Song Qingming hesitated for a moment, then immediately replied with a smile: "Senior Sister Zhao said, I also have the intention to let Qingyu join first like me.
No matter what, my Song family is also affiliated. As for the Immortal Cultivation Family under the sect, Qingyu is as much a part of the sect as the junior clan members like Shan Shan. Regardless of whether we have worshiped Guyang Mountain or not, as long as the sect is in need, we will all contribute. "
"Junior brother Song said it well, after the monsters are in turmoil, After such a chilling thing like the Ma family's betrayal of the sect, it's rare that junior brother Song understands the righteousness and has always been loyal to the sect.
Since junior brother intends to let Qingyu join the sect, then junior brother Chu and I. This trip is not in vain. I would like to ask Junior Brother Song to accept this thing. This is our advance gift to Qingyu!"
Seeing that Song Qingming did not object to Song Qingyu joining the sect, the nervous look on Zhao Mengli's face relaxed a little, and he took it out with a happy expression. A precious third-level low-grade spiritual talisman was handed into the hands of Song Qingming.
Seeing the precious talisman worth at least three thousand yuan in his hand, Song Qingming quickly sent it back and said with a refusal:
"Senior Sister Zhao is polite, it is natural for Qingyu to join the sect. what should be done , How can I accept such a precious spiritual object from you two? Senior Sister Zhao should take it back first, don’t make it difficult for me!”
“Junior Brother Song, this object is the intention of the sect, not between me and Junior Brother Chu’s personal belongings, please don’t I have to refuse.
We were in a hurry this time and didn’t prepare any gifts for Qingyu. It would be better to wait until she goes to Guyang Mountain and formally joins the sect in the future to make up for her. Yes, please don’t blame me, junior brother, come back I’ll help Qingyu explain something!”
“Senior Sister Zhao, what are you talking about? If you can come to Funiu Mountain today, you have already given me and Qingyu face. Don’t be so polite. .
Since this thing is what the sect means, I will accept it first on behalf of Qing Yu. "
Seeing Song Qingming accept the spiritual talisman in his hand, a smile immediately appeared on Zhao Mengli's face, and he took another sip of the spiritual tea at hand.
This time they The main purpose of the two coming here is to win over Song Qingyu to join the sect. No matter whether she directly joins Li Mufeng's sect, It was better to become the Keqing elder first. As long as the Song family nodded and agreed to Song Qingyu joining the sect, they would have completed the task
Song Qingming had just accepted the magic talisman in his hand, and Chu Fengping on the side looked at him again. He opened his mouth and said: "Junior Brother Song, the two of us are here for this trip, and there is one more thing we need to inform you about in advance.
The sect will recruit another group of monks to go to the front line of the Lu Kingdom in the near future. This recruitment is relatively intensive. The General Affairs Hall should also issue a recruitment order to Funiu Mountain. Junior Brother Song, you are the most It’s best to be mentally prepared in advance. ”
Hearing what Chu Fengping said, Song Qingming was slightly surprised and said: "Oh! I heard that half a year ago, the sect had just mobilized manpower and supplies, and the recruitment order was to be decentralized so soon. Could it be that the war in Lingyin Sect was a little bit different? It’s tight!”
Not long after Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan went into seclusion a few years ago, the Lingyin Sect of Lu State in the south of Xiaoyao Sect broke out again with the Tianhai Alliance.
In recent years, the Tianhai Alliance has become more and more powerful and has invaded the Fuyun Mountains to the north for many times. After several wars, several small countries around the Lu Kingdom have fallen into the Tianhai Alliance. under the actual control of the alliance.
Even the State of Lu, a large country controlled by the Yuanying Sect, has lost part of its territory and is in crisis.
Facing the powerful Tianhai Alliance, the Lingyin Sect was so weak that it was unable to fight back. It could only seek help from sects from other countries in the rear, and barely managed to hold on to the front.
In the past few years, the battle lines between the two sides have been the same as last time, and they have been stalemate in the southern part of the Lu Kingdom. Although both sides have killed many low-level monks, their overall strength has not changed much.
On the Weiguo side, Xiaoyao Sect has recruited many monks and affiliated cultivating families in the past few years to rush to the front line of Lu to support them.
Because the Song family belongs to the Jindan Immortal Clan, there is no major incident. The Xiaoyao Sect generally does not issue recruitment orders to Funiu Mountain, so there is no impact on the Song family territory for the time being.
However, Song Qingming, the elder of the sect's guest minister, naturally knows these things.
Although the overall strength of the Tianhai Alliance is stronger than any sect in the Fuyun Mountains, Lingyin Sect has the support of so many surrounding countries, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
Song Qingming originally thought that the war over there this time would be the same as the one he participated in back then. The two sides would fight for several years, and no one could do anything to the other. At this time, it was almost time for each of them to withdraw their troops and return to the territory under their own control.
At this moment, when he suddenly heard Chu Fengping say that the Zongmen General Affairs Hall was recruiting monks on a large scale and issued a recruitment order to Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming also slightly realized that something was wrong.
Chu Fengping sighed slightly and said: "I just learned the news from the head brother a few days ago. Lingyin Sect seems to have suffered a defeat and lost many monks. However, the specific situation is not yet clear.
Senior Brother Lu took the lead yesterday and led people south to support this big battle. I’m afraid the war won’t end so soon, and I don’t know if Lingyin Sect can withstand the pressure this time.”
Seeing that Chu Fengping was not optimistic about Lu State, “Lingyin Sect also has Nascent Soul monks after all. Even if the sect in charge loses for a while, it will not be expelled from the Lu Kingdom by the Tianhai Alliance. Junior Brother Chu should not worry about this
However, this war has yet to end, and it is another devastation of life. Although the sect has not been directly affected, it has lost many monks in the past few years. If the war continues like this, the next time the monsters are in turmoil, we will have a heavy burden on our shoulders. The pressure will be much greater. "
"There are constant disputes in the world of immortality. If we want to concentrate on cultivation, it is really difficult to live a peaceful life for a few days. Unless we can break out and become a lonely cultivator, it will be difficult to escape these annoying trivial matters in this life. "
"Junior brother Song is right. We have received great kindness from our master to achieve our current cultivation level. How can we abandon the sect at will? "
Song Qingming nodded slightly and said: "Thank you, Brother Chu, for reminding me about this. Please rest assured, sect, I will make preparations as soon as possible. As soon as the recruitment order from the General Affairs Hall is issued, I will immediately summon the monks below to cooperate. Zongmen went to Lu State to support. ”
“Haha! I also said hello to Junior Brother in advance. This matter may not be so fast yet, so Junior Brother Song doesn’t need to be too anxious. ”
After the three of them chatted for a while in the hall, Zhao Menglian and Chu Fengping left directly and returned to Guyang Mountain.
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Song Qingming returned to "Huixian Pavilion" and stood alone by the window on the roof. Looking at the lively scene outside the meeting hall below, Song Qingming's eyes also showed a slight excitement. There was a hint of helplessness.
After the monster turmoil ended, the Song family finally lived in peace for decades. Unexpectedly, the war in the Lu country in the south broke out again, and the family was affected so quickly.
"The tree wants to be still but the wind is not stopping. I don’t know how much loss the family will suffer after this war is over." (End of Chapter)
