Although it would indeed be safer to silence the other party directly, it is indeed difficult for him to kill someone and silence him for no reason as the other party is a person who has brought him a lot of benefits.
In the past two hundred years of practicing Taoism, Song Qingming's hands have been stained with the blood of many monks. However, until now, he has never committed a casual murder. In most cases, he only Just to protect myself.
In this crisis-ridden world of immortality, it is indeed difficult for a cultivator to become an absolutely good person if he wants to survive. However, destiny also has reincarnation, and monks who have done too many bad things are also very difficult. Easily counterattacked by luck.
He has never shown his true face in front of the other party, and he made him swear a blood oath. In any case, to be able to do this, Song Qingming has tried his best to cover up the matter.
However, the "Tianxing Sect" is not a big sect. Even if something does happen one day, with the Xiaoyao Sect as its backer, the Song family does not have to be too afraid that the other party will come to the door. The worst is to give it to them. Just make some compensation.
Thinking of this, Song Qingming slowly relaxed in his heart, and soon disappeared into a white light.
Two days later, several shield lights appeared in the northeast corner of Qinghe County, heading straight for the tallest Lingshan Mountain in the county. Song Qingming and others standing on the flying boat saw the familiar sight in front of them, and they also revealed their faces. A smile appeared on his face.
It has been almost two months since I left Funiu Mountain for the East China Sea Cultivation Realm, and now I have finally safely crossed Yunwu Mountain and returned to Qinghe County. Song Qingming and the three of them traveled back and forth for hundreds of thousands of miles, and now they finally returned to their home.
After returning to Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming took out all the spiritual objects he had harvested during his trip and counted them. Among them, all the low-level elixir spiritual objects of low value were handed over to him. It was given to Song Yuanfang and asked to be placed in the family's Golden Pavilion first.
Song Qingming kept the remaining foundation-building pills, water spirit fruits and other more valuable spiritual objects with him first, planning to get them from him when someone in the family needed them in the future.
This time they went to the East China Sea to cultivate immortals. Song Qingming and the others first harvested a five-element spiritual object that assists in forming pills and four foundation-building pills in the "Tiandan City".
On the way to the "Hundred Flowers Palace", after accidentally killing the "Black Scaled Beast", they obtained another demon king's inner elixir, as well as several other demon beast materials from the demon king.
Follow He Mengxin and others to participate in the Luolong Island Trade Fair, and exchange for a third-level mid-grade "Red Dragon Pill" and a water spirit fruit whose value is almost the same as the Foundation Establishment Pill.
And when I passed through Yunwu Mountain a few days ago, I got two third-level low-grade "gilt spiritual fruits" and the mature third-level spiritual fruit tree that they had transplanted back. .
Among these spiritual objects, the five-element spiritual object "Sky Fire Mysterious Pearl" that assists in forming pills was naturally prepared to be used by Huang Siyuan to form pills. After Song Qingming came back, he quietly handed this spiritual object to her. in hand.
The third-level mid-grade "Red Dragon Pill" was reserved for Song Qingming to take when he breaks through the cultivation level in the future. This level of pill can be taken directly when the monk breaks through the bottleneck, and it can have a slight effect of assisting the breakthrough in cultivation level. .
The two third-level low-grade "gilt spiritual fruits" obtained in the Yun Mountains are also spiritual objects that can directly improve the cultivation level of Golden Core monks after refining. Song Qingming himself and Song Qingyu are just right. They all came in handy, so they divided one pill among themselves.
As for the inner elixir on the Demon King, Song Qingming plans to ask Chu Fengping again when he goes to Guyang Mountain in the future to see if he can work with him to refine a high-level elixir. .
Some of the remaining materials from the Demon King could be used to draw third-level talismans. Song Qingming directly picked them out. The rest he was going to take to the Shanggong Pavilion of Xiaoyao Sect to see if they could be used. Change to other high-level talisman-making materials.
The water spirit fruit obtained from the "Luolong Island" trade fair, plus the elixir garden in the back mountain of the Song family, will be able to mature a chalcedony golden mushroom in about ten years. I can gather together a furnace of the main medicine for refining the foundation-building pill.
After gathering other auxiliary elixirs, Song Qingming can ask Chu Fengping or the alchemy masters in the "Heavenly Pill Alliance" to help open the furnace and refine another furnace of foundation-building pills.
This trip was to the world of immortal cultivation in the East China Sea. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, it was generally smooth. To the surprise of Song Qingming and others, they got some other spiritual objects.
After being away for more than two months, Qinghe County was still the same, and nothing major happened. However, there was some surprising news to Song Qingming from Guyang Mountain.
Bai Yuxian, who has been in seclusion for more than ten years, came out of the seclusion cave last month. This time she did not succeed in breaking through her cultivation to reach the Nascent Soul realm.
Fortunately, although Bai Yuxian failed to condense the Nascent Soul this time, he was not injured as seriously as Yao Qian's last time. After taking the healing elixir, he only needed to rest assured and cultivate for a few years. Slowly recovered.
Hearing the news that Bai Yuxian failed to break through the Nascent Soul, although Song Qingming had already been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
It is so difficult for even a Tianlinggen cultivator like her, who possesses the top cultivation talent in the world of immortality, to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, let alone people like Song Qingming and others with relatively ordinary spiritual aptitudes.
However, the matter of condensing the Nascent Soul is still a bit early for Song Qingming, who is still only at the fourth level of the Golden Core. If he wants to reach the Nascent Soul realm, he must first improve his own cultivation. Only when you reach the ninth level of the Golden Core, otherwise it will be useless to take too big a step.
A few days after returning to Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming first asked Song Qingyu to take Huang Siyuan to Tuoyun Mountain, and first replaced Xu Ziyan who helped them stationed there.
Before going to the East China Sea, in order to ask Xu Ziyan to help take care of Tuoyun Mountain, Song Qingming also spent thousands of spiritual stones and spiritual things to take care of her.
After all, he didn't know how long it would take to come back at that time. If something happened on Tuoyun Mountain before he came back, Song Qingming would really not be able to explain to both Xiaoyao Sect and Jinyun Pavilion.
Song Qingming himself went directly to Guyang Mountain, planning to go there to find a third-level spiritual planter to help go to Funiu Mountain to transplant the third-level spiritual fruit tree they obtained not long ago. .
As long as this third-level spiritual fruit tree can be taken care of properly in the future, it will produce a mature third-level spiritual fruit every few decades. It is a thing that can enhance the Song family's heritage in the future. Spiritual things.
After arriving at Guyang Mountain, Song Qingming originally wanted to visit Zhao Mengli, a third-level mid-level spiritual planter, but it turned out that the other party had gone into seclusion not long ago, so Song Qingming was turned away.
When he heard from the disciples below that Zhao Mengli's retreat might take two or three years, Song Qingming was immediately disappointed and gave up the idea of asking her for help.
According to Song Yuanxue, the "gilt fruit tree" that the family brought back from Yunwu Mountain must be transplanted into the spiritual medicine garden within two months. Otherwise, the spiritual energy of the fruit tree will be lost if it is too long, which will inevitably damage the spiritual tree. origin.
Once this happens, the immature spiritual fruits on this spiritual fruit tree will probably damage their vitality and mature prematurely, which will be a huge loss. We must quickly find another third-level spiritual planter. Just fine.
Although Song Qingming has been the guest elder of the sect for decades, except for the Jindan elders in the sect, in terms of understanding the low-level monks of the sect, he may not be as good as staying in Guyang all year round. A foundation-building monk on the mountain.
In desperation, Song Qingming turned around and came to the Lingshan Mountain where Xu Ziyan's cave was located on the other side of Guyang Mountain, intending to ask her about the other third-level spiritual planters on Guyang Mountain.
Since Guangling's life was short and he resigned from the position of elder of the General Affairs Hall a few years ago, under the personal name of the Supreme Elder Li Mufeng, Xu Ziyan, who was the last to form an elixir among the Xiaoyao Sect, has not yet been confirmed. The person who held the position took over the position of elder of the sect's general affairs hall.
Although holding this position is busier than other elders in the sect on weekdays, being able to take charge of tens of thousands of low-level disciples in the sect and many vassal families under the sect is considered a good job. For Xu Ziyan, who has just formed an elixir and still lacks the resources to practice. , which can be regarded as a position that is more suitable for her.
After Xu Ziyan successfully formed the elixir, in order to facilitate his own cultivation, the cave has also been moved to the west side of Guyang Mountain, above a third-level low-grade spiritual vein with rich spiritual energy.
As soon as they arrived outside Xu Ziyan's cave, a female disciple in purple clothes came over quickly. She was one of Xu Ziyan's disciples.
“Meet Master Song!”
Song Qingming took a closer look and realized that this man’s cultivation was completely different from the last time he saw him. He quickly smiled and said: “It’s been a long time. When I came here, I didn't expect that you had already succeeded in building the foundation. It's really gratifying.
Your master and I are old friends. This talisman can be regarded as a gift to build your foundation. I hope you don’t dislike it! "
Seeing a second-level low-grade spiritual talisman handed over by Song Qingming, the purple-clothed woman hurriedly saluted and thanked him, and took him to Xu Ziyan's cave with a happy face.
Compared Zhao Mengli's cave is gorgeous and beautiful, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. Xu Ziyan's place has always been relatively quiet and elegant. Except for some necessary things in the cave, Apart from daily necessities, there were not many luxury items.
As soon as he entered the door, Song Qingming saw Xu Ziyan coming out with a woman in yellow. The two were talking and laughing very intimately.
Song Qingming saw the face of the woman in yellow, and her face was slightly shocked, and she said softly:
"Fairy Gao, long time no see!"
The woman in yellow standing with Xu Ziyan is her fellow junior Gao Yuyao. Although Song Qingming had met Gao Yuyao a few times since they returned from their expedition to the Fuyun Mountains, there was no communication between the two of them. After Song Qingming formed a pill, he had not seen her for many years. .
Although the appearance of Gao Yuyao today is still the same as that of back then, with the passage of time, her face has become a lot more weathered. People are much more mature than before.
Gao Yuyao's age is not much different from Song Qingming's. He is now about 180 years old. He is already quite young among the foundation-building monks, even those who have taken the beauty-preserving elixir. , and can't completely keep the appearance unchanged.
Seeing Song Qingming's figure, Gao Yuyao also showed a hint of surprise on her face. She hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I've met Master Song!"
"Fairy Gao, don't be polite. You and I have known each other for many years. People will be treated as equals from now on "Just say it."
Hearing this, Gao Yuyao was not too polite. He smiled and nodded slightly: "Then Yuyao is no longer polite to fellow Taoist Song. You must have something to discuss with senior sister, and I am just right. If you want to go back to practice, you won’t stay here. "I'm disturbing you."
Seeing this, Xu Ziyan warned before she left: "Junior sister, you can go back to practice with peace of mind. When Brother Chu has refined the Jade Dust Pill, I will naturally try my best to help you. Strive for one, but you can’t do anything about spiritual practice It's too hasty, I hope you can stabilize your mind." "Yes! Yuyao understands, thank you Fourth Senior Sister for worrying about me!" Gao Yuyao just finished saying hello to Song Qingming, and then He quickly walked out alone.
After Gao Yuyao left, Song Qingming asked Xu Ziyan curiously: "Is Fairy Gao here to ask for the elixir spiritual object?" He told them to take more care of fellow brothers and sisters, but everyone has their own opportunities. Due to fate, I can only do my best.
Junior sister Gao has failed to form a pill twice in the past few years. Even if I can get a Jade Dust Pill for her this time, with her strength. I'm afraid it's still difficult to achieve anything under the current situation." After Xu Ziyan finished speaking, he shook his head slightly and sighed helplessly.
"What my junior sister said is true! Everyone will have their own opportunities. Compared with other geniuses in the sect, our cultivation talents are only average, and we are not able to embark on the golden elixir path.< br>
Xianzi Gao may have her own opportunities in the future. I just try my best in everything, and Junior Sister Xu should not be too pessimistic about this matter.
If Senior Brother Chu needs help, Junior Sister Xu can also send me a message. Fairy Gao and I knew each other back then, so it would be appropriate to help with a little help. "
Hearing what Song Qingming said, Xu Ziyan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Senior Brother Song, you're welcome. I am now responsible for the affairs of the General Affairs Hall, and I have some say in the sect, and It shouldn't be difficult to ask for favors from Senior Brother Chu.
That’s right! I still don’t know why Senior Brother Song came to see me today. You might as well go inside and have a cup of tea first to explain it in detail! ”
“That’s fine! Then let’s bother Junior Sister Xu! "Seeing Xu Ziyan's warm invitation, Song Qingming quickly said politely, and then followed her to the cave.
After leaving Xu Ziyan's cave, Gao Yuyao stepped on the flying sword and prepared to return to his cave. In his mind From time to time, the figure of Song Qingming she had just seen reappeared, and she couldn't help but feel a sigh in her heart
When Gao Yuyao first met Song Qingming on Caolu Mountain, he was just a monk from a small Qi-refining family with extremely average talent.
Unexpectedly, just over a hundred years have passed, and the handsome young man who used to be a little cautious in front of her has now successfully formed a pill and become the Song Ancestor who dominates the Wei Kingdom.
As for her, this proud girl who was born in the Foundation Building Family and was highly valued by her elders. She was able to join the Xiaoyao Sect and become an inner disciple at a young age. However, she has failed to form pills several times and can only How could she not feel a sense of helplessness in her heart when she looked at others standing high up with helpless expressions.
However, in the world of cultivating immortals, personal opportunity is an illusory thing. Even if you are a person with outstanding spiritual talent, you are not guaranteed to have a smooth path throughout your life and enter the realm of golden elixir as you wish.
In the Xiaoyao Sect, there were many people of the same generation as Gao Yuyao who were more talented in forming pill seeds. With the strong support from the sect, they faced the huge challenge of forming pills. The threshold is also difficult to cross.
And for the many foundation-building disciples of Xiaoyao Sect, there are only a small number of foundation-building monks who can reach the ninth level of foundation building and have the opportunity to hit the golden elixir realm.
Gao Yuyao was able to cultivate to the ninth level of foundation building early and hit the golden elixir realm twice. Her performance is actually very good among her peers of foundation building monks.
It was just that Xu Ziyan and Song Qingming, who had successfully formed elixirs in the past few years, had been her friends, which made Gao Yuyao feel more unwilling to accept her failure to form elixirs. color.
However, although Gao Yuyao failed to attack the golden elixir realm twice, his lifespan has not exceeded the 200-year-old limit to attack the golden elixir realm. In addition, there is Xu Ziyan, the golden elixir senior sister, who can help him. , there is still another chance to form a pill, so there is no need to despair.
——
After chatting with Xu Ziyan over tea in the cave, Song Qingming slowly spoke out about the purpose of his trip.
Hearing that Song Qingming was looking for a third-level spiritual planter to help, Xu Ziyan thought for a moment and quickly recommended a candidate to him.
Unlike high-level alchemy and formation masters who are more difficult to find, besides Zhao Mengli, there are four or five other spiritual planters of level three or above in the Xiaoyao Sect.
These relatively important talents for the sect usually stay in the spiritual medicine garden at the back of the sect. They will not go out casually unless they receive any sect tasks.
The third-level spiritual planter recommended by Xu Ziyan to Song Qingming is named Wei Jingliang.
Although this person's cultivation has just reached the seventh level of foundation building, his spiritual planting skills have been promoted to the third level more than 20 years ago. He can be regarded as a relatively good third-level spiritual planting in the Xiaoyao Sect. Master, just transplanting a third-level spiritual fruit tree should not be a big problem for Wei Jingliang.
With the help of Xu Ziyan, Song Qingming soon met Wei Jingliang himself in the Zongmen General Affairs Hall.
Although his appearance is not ugly, Wei Jingliang spends most of his time in the sect's elixir garden and rarely goes out to interact with people. At first glance, he looks like an ascetic cultivator who doesn't talk much.
After Song Qingming briefly introduced him in person, Wei Jingliang, who learned that the mission was issued by the elder of the sect's Keqing in the General Affairs Hall, only thought for a moment and readily agreed.
This mission was not too difficult for Wei Jingliang, and it gave him the opportunity to get closer to a golden elixir monk. Naturally, he had no reason to refuse and quickly accepted the mission. Wei Jingliang followed Song Qingming and rushed back to Funiu Mountain.
When he arrived at the spiritual medicine garden at the back of the Song family, and saw the "gilt fruit trees" brought back by Song Qingming and others, Wei Jingliang first stepped forward and carefully inspected the roots of the fruit trees.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the fruit tree itself, Wei Jingliang carefully transplanted it into the Song family's spiritual medicine garden with the help of Song Yuanxue and several other spiritual planters of the Song family.
After successfully completing the task of transplanting the spiritual fruit tree, Wei Jingliang smiled at Song Qingming beside him and said: "Uncle Song, although this fruit tree lost some spiritual energy during the transportation, the original nature of the fruit tree has not changed. Damage,
it only needs to be carefully cared for and cultivated for a period of time. When the spirit tree adapts to the environment in the elixir garden, It should be able to recover slowly without affecting the spiritual fruits on the tree.
I have also taught fellow Taoist Yuan Xue how to take care of this spiritual fruit tree in the future. If there is any change, Uncle Song can send a message to the sect general affairs hall to inform the disciples, and I will find a way to deal with it then."
Seeing the "gilt fruit tree" that was slowly recovering its spiritual energy, Song Qingming nodded to Wei Jingliang with satisfaction, then took out the 600 spiritual stones he had prepared in advance and handed them into his hands.
Seeing that Song Qingming brought out a little more spirit stones than agreed upon in advance, Wei Jingliang immediately began to refuse and did not dare to take more. However, with Song Qingming's insistence, Wei Jingliang finally accepted them all. This spiritual stone.
"Master Nephew Wei, although these spiritual stones are not many, they are also a part of the heart of our Song family. This fruit tree is now an important spiritual object of our Song family. I hope that Master Nephew will try his best to stay away from home in the future. Don't mention this to anyone, in case someone knows about it, it will cause trouble to the Song family in the future."
Wei Jingliang immediately understood what Song Qingming meant when he heard this, and nodded quickly. : "Don't worry, Uncle Song. This disciple just likes to play with some elixirs and herbs in the elixir garden. He is definitely not a troublesome person."
"You have been working hard for more than a month. If you are not in a hurry to go back, just rest on the mountain for two days. You are also a distinguished guest of my Song family. After all, we must also fulfill our friendship as landlords. "
"Then! Disciple, it's better to be respectful than to obey. Thank you Master Song first!"
After receiving the other party's approval, Song Qingming arranged for Song Yuanxue on the side to take Wei Jingliang to the "Huixian Pavilion" on the top of the mountain first, and then let Someone took some spiritual objects unique to the Song family from the Hidden Gold Pavilion and gave them to him.
Although Song Qingming is a Jindan monk, he still respects and is willing to be friends with Wei Jingliang, a talent with outstanding skills in cultivating immortals. That night, he was still in the "Huixian Pavilion" on the top of the mountain. They held a banquet and entertained each other well.
Song Yuanxue has been transplanting "gilt fruit trees" with Wei Jingliang for more than a month, and has also learned a lot about spiritual planting. Both of them are people who like the art of spiritual planting, so they have a lot of time. After coming down, there were many common topics during the banquet.
After transplanting the third-level spiritual fruit tree, which was very important to the family, Song Qingming finally got free time. After some preparation, he began to practice in seclusion. (End of chapter)
