Ever since the Zhang family settled in "Iron Immortal Castle", Zhang Tieyang has been deliberately trying to make friends with the Song family, which has become the number one immortal cultivating family in the Wei Kingdom.
In recent years, the Zhang family has not only had many business contacts with the Song family, because the Song family has Huang Siyuan, a high-level alchemist, Zhang Tieyang will occasionally go to "Funiu Mountain" in person to cooperate with the Song family Buy some high-end elixirs that are hard to find on the market.
Zhang Yurong was able to successfully build the foundation, and the foundation-building pill he used most likely came from the "Funiu Mountain" of the Song family.
However, for Zhang Tieyang's intentional overtures, Song Qingming has always been polite and reciprocal, neither intentionally wooing nor alienating the other party.
After all, the Zhang family and the Song family are both members of the Jindan Immortal Clan that has become dominant under the "Xiaoyao Sect". The two families are too close, and Song Qingming is also afraid that the sect will have any misunderstandings about this.
At this moment, Song Qingming suddenly heard that Zhang Tieyang was going to marry the Song family. While Song Qingming was a little surprised, he was also quite surprised by this in his heart.
He also did not expect that Zhang Tieyang would even give away his most proud descendant of the foundation in order to further the relationship between "Funiu Mountain" and the Song family.
However, although Song Qingming was not very interested in the marriage proposed by Zhang Tieyang.
But in front of the other party, Song Qingming did not directly refuse and brushed Zhang Tieyang's face, but chose to deal with him first and then find a suitable excuse to reject the matter later.
Zhang Tieyang is also an old fox who has been cultivating pills for many years. His understanding of the world is definitely as good as Song Qingming's, and you will naturally understand his intentions when the time comes.
After hearing what Song Qingming said, Zhang Tieyang paused for a moment before speaking to him: "Last time I had tea with Senior Brother Song, I saw that the kid next to you has good conduct and looks and temperament.
I wonder if Senior Brother Song thinks this girl of mine is a good match for him?”
“ Junior Brother Zhang is talking about Yuan Hao?"
Song Qingming glanced at Zhang Tieyang with some embarrassment, and then slowly explained to him:
"The character of this child Yuan Hao It’s not a big problem, and it’s not much different from this junior in your family
However, Yuan Hao already has someone he likes in his heart, and he is expected to form a double cultivator couple in the near future. This matter may disappoint Junior Brother Zhang. "
Seeing that Zhang Tieyang was interested in Song Yuanhao who came with him, Song Qingming was not too surprised.
Song Yuanhao's cultivation has now reached the peak of the eighth level of foundation construction, and his cultivation is There is a high chance that a cultivator with supernatural spiritual roots, one of the few in the immortal world, will be able to reach the realm of golden elixir in the future with the support of Song Qingming and others.
If Zhang Yurong and Song Yuanhao can become a Taoist couple, it will definitely be a very beneficial thing for the Zhang family, which has already planned to take root in the world of defending the country and cultivating immortals.
Maybe in the future, Song Qingming and other elders will do it. After a generation of Jindan monks passed away, Song Yuanhao may take over the family and become the new generation patriarch of the Song family
However, what Zhang Tieyang didn't know was that Song Yuanhao had already found someone he liked, and it would definitely be difficult for him and Zhang Yurong to get together again.
The mutual admiration between Song Yuanhao and Xu Qingyin is actually not a big secret within the Song family. Zhang Tieyang will basically know it as long as he sends people to inquire about it in the future.
Therefore, as soon as Zhang Tieyang finished speaking, Song Qingming directly explained the fact that Song Yuanhao already had a crush on him, hoping to dispel the other party's idea.
On Zhang Tieyang's side, after hearing that Song Yuanhao had already made up his mind, although there was regret on his face, he did not give up completely because of this. He smiled and replied to Song Qingming:
"Haha ! Senior Brother Song's words are wrong. Since Yuan Hao has not determined the couple, the matter has not yet been completely decided. Maybe if the two juniors get in touch, the matter will turn around.
Besides, as long as we as monks don’t neglect our own cultivation, it’s not strange to have three wives and four concubines.
Senior Brother Song, don’t worry. As long as he doesn’t wrong my Yurong in the future, I, the elder, will definitely not say anything. "
Zhang Tieyang has practiced cultivation all his life. He is a man who knows how to enjoy life with his wives and concubines. Naturally, he is extremely tolerant of external matters such as wine, sex and wealth.
I heard Song Qingming use Xu Qingyin to excuse this. thing, He immediately waved his hands and showed a magnanimous look, still trying his best to bring Song Yuanhao and Zhang Yurong together.
Seeing that Zhang Tieyang had not given up, Song Qingming could only shake his head slightly and said with a smile:
"Junior brother is right to think so. It's just that this matter is a lifelong matter between the younger generations. It's good for us elders to be able to bring them together.
But there is no need to be too pushy, otherwise they will be in the future. If things don't go well, they will inevitably blame you and me. I think it's better to leave it to chance and let them get in touch first. , let’s see what happens!”
“That’s great! I mean the same thing, junior brother. As long as senior brother Song doesn’t object, I think this matter is very promising.”
Meet Song Qingming. Not objecting to the contact between the two, Zhang Tieyang smiled slightly, felt a little more happy in his heart, and bowed his hands to Song Qingming.
After the two of them had negotiated, they walked out of the private room together and went directly to the hall downstairs.
At this time, Zhang Yurong, who was standing in front of the restaurant counter to pay the bill, happened to get two bottles of spiritual wine prepared by the store. When he saw Zhang Tieyang and Song Qingming walking down, he quickly stepped forward and saluted the two of them.
"Senior Brother Song, this spirit wine tastes good. Just keep it and bring it back to the two senior sisters to taste. It will be considered as my little favor."
"Then I will Thank you, Junior Brother Zhang, for them!”
Seeing the spirit wine that Zhang Yurong brought to him, Song Qingming accepted it without being polite to him.
Just when the three of them were about to turn around and leave the restaurant, two more young women suddenly walked in at the door.
As soon as the figure of one of the women in purple disappeared into Song Qingming's eyes, his eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but feel surprised. He didn't expect that he would meet her here.
This woman in purple is none other than Liu Qingyin, the golden elixir elder of the "Hunyuan Sect" whom Song Qingming met in the "Taiyue Lake" near the Song Dynasty a few years ago.
After Song Qingming searched Ma Wuchen's cave, he happened to bump into this woman when he escaped. Fortunately, Song Qingming concealed his identity in advance and was not recognized by the other party.
Now that he met Liu Qingyin again, Song Qingming instinctively felt a little surprised, but he recovered in the blink of an eye and walked forward with Zhang Tieyang and Zhang Tieyang with a calm look on his face.
However, Liu Qingyin is a peak golden elixir cultivator after all. The slightest move on Song Qingming's face at such a close distance was not hidden from her eyes, causing her eyes to quickly fall on Song Qingming. On three people.
Just when the two sides were about to pass each other, Liu Qingyin, who was walking into the restaurant, suddenly stopped and stopped Song Qingming and others sideways.
“Fellow Taoist, what advice do you have?”
Seeing Liu Qingyin suddenly stop in front of them, Song Qingming and Zhang Tieyang also showed some confusion on their faces. He asked the other party with a puzzled look on his face.
Hearing this, Liu Qingyin immediately changed her smile, and slightly cupped her hands towards the two of them and explained: "I am Liu Qingyin of the Hunyuan Sect, and this is my junior sister Gu Xiaoling.
I just heard the accents of the two fellow Taoists speaking at the door, and they seemed to be monks from the Fuyun Mountains. I came here to get to know them.
I don’t know which sect these two fellow Taoists are from. Can you tell me some introductions? It would be a good idea to make friends. "
Hearing that the other party was a monk from the "Hunyuan Sect" of the Song Dynasty, before Song Qingming could speak, Zhang Tieyang, who was standing aside, took the lead in smiling and replied:
"Haha! I'm Zhang Tieyang, fellow Taoist Liu and fellow Taoist Gu, you are polite.
My two senior brothers are indeed from the world of immortal cultivation in the Fuyun Mountains, but we are monks of the Weiguo Xiaoyao Sect.
It doesn't matter if I get to know the two fairies outside. I might be wrong about making friends. I hope the two fairies can forgive me. ”
"Oh! The two Taoist friends of the Xiaoyao Sect turned out to be a bit rude."
The "Hunyuan Sect" of the Song Dynasty and the "Xiaoyao Sect" of the Wei Kingdom belong to the east and west of the Fuyun Mountains respectively. As a result, the relationship between the two monks has always been relatively normal, and they rarely take the initiative to interact with each other.
Hearing that Zhang Tieyang claimed to be from the "Xiaoyao Sect", Liu Qingyin's face suddenly changed, and she nodded to the two of them with a smile.
Just when Song Qingming and the others were about to turn around and leave, Liu Qingyin turned around and raised her hands to Song Qingming and asked, "I don't know what to call this fellow Taoist, please give me some advice."
"Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingming! You two Taoists are polite."
Seeing that Liu Qingyin's eyes were fixed on him, Song Qingming's face did not change much. He showed a smile and took the initiative to bow to Liu Qingyin and Liu Qingyin.
Song Qingming then ignored the other party and turned around and left the restaurant with Zhang Tieyang.
After the three of them left, Liu Qingyin still stood there with a thoughtful look on her face.
The other woman in yellow who was standing next to her noticed something strange, and looked at Liu Qingyin’s voice transmission with curiosity and asked:
Senior Sister Liu, what’s wrong with you? Is there anything strange about these two people?”
Hearing the voice transmission from his companion, Liu Qingyin came back to her senses and sighed with a solemn expression:
“The Song Qingming just now always made me feel familiar for some reason, and his The body shape and cultivation are somewhat similar to the Donghai casual cultivator I saw that day.
But the voice of this person's voice is different from his. It’s completely different. I don’t know if I’m mistaken.”
“Oh! Senior Sister Liu means that this person is the one you met when we were encircling and suppressing Demon Xiu Ma Wuchen in Taiyue Lake. The casual cultivator who calls himself Luo Yulong is probably still doubting that he killed the demon Ma Wuchen!”
"Yes, this person not only has the eighth level of Jindan cultivation, but he is also a disciple of the Nascent Soul Sect such as Xiaoyao Sect. His strength is definitely not comparable to ordinary Jindan casual cultivators. It is not impossible to be able to kill Ma Wuchen. . I have always suspected that he was the one who got into Ma Wuchen’s cave that day.”
After the battle between Song Qingming and Ma Wuchen, he quickly alerted the surrounding people. A monk from the Song Dynasty.
In order to eliminate the hidden dangers of demonic cultivators hidden near the sect, the "Hunyuan Sect" sent Liu Qingyin and several other Jindan elders to search for traces of demonic cultivators in "Taiyue Lake".
They searched near the "desert island" for more than half a month, and finally they found the cave where Ma Wuchen was hiding, and determined that Ma Wuchen was hidden from some things left inside. Chen’s identity.
It's just that the contents of Ma Wuchen's cave had already been moved away by Song Qingming, who found it first, and not even a magic circle was left behind.
Liu Qingyin and others were not sure whether Ma Wuchen fled the cave in panic after the battle on the desert island, or whether the opponent who killed him arrived first and took away the contents.
Originally, Liu Qingyin had almost forgotten the matter, but when she met Song Qingming this time, she couldn't help but recall the matter, and she couldn't help but feel a little more doubtful.
The place where Song Qingming was blocked by her that day happened to be not far from Ma Wuchen's cave. In addition, Song Qingming was wearing a bamboo hat to deliberately hide his identity.
These various coincidental phenomena have always made her suspicious of this matter. Later, she specially sent people around the Song Dynasty to find out about the casual cultivator who called himself "Luo Yulong".
What surprised her was that this person seemed to have never been to the Fuyun Mountains. No one had ever heard of the name "Luo Yulong", which once again deepened Liu Qingyin's doubts.
"Haha! Senior sister, they are people from Xiaoyao Sect, and generally they will not go to our country of Song. Could it be that Senior Sister is overthinking it.
And I have heard of this before. Song Qingming, it seems that he is not an elder of the inner sect of Xiaoyao Sect, but a guest minister from his vassal Xiuxian family
<. br>If this person can break through to the late stage of Jindan, he must have some cultivation talent.
If he alone wants to kill a big demon like Ma Wuchen, who is at the peak of Jindan, I don't think so. But some people don't believe it, unless it's not just Song Qingming who took action, but other Xiaoyao Sect elders participated in that battle
The Xiaoyao Sect is tens of thousands of miles away from our Song country. The chaos of demon cultivation there will not affect them. How could they send people to Taiyue Lake for no reason to help us deal with the demon Ma Wuchen. ”
“Oh! Is that so? It seems that I may be a little too worried. "
After hearing the explanation from the fellow disciple beside him, Liu Qingyin nodded with some enlightenment, then smiled, turned around and walked into the restaurant with him.
And left. After that restaurant, Song Qingming returned to his residence , but he kept recalling what happened during the day.
Although he knew that the other party probably did not know his identity, through the contact during the day, Song Qingming clearly felt that Liu Qingyin was somewhat suspicious of him. .
Fortunately, when Song Qingming killed Demon Xiu Ma Wuchen that day, he did not do anything detrimental to the interests of the "Hunyuan Sect". Instead, he helped them solve a potential risk.
Logically speaking, even if Liu Qingyin was a little suspicious, she would not keep an eye on him and pursue him all the way to "Windless Island".
It should be just a coincidence that the other party appears here. There is a high probability that they, like Song Qingming, are preparing to go to "Lei Yuanhai" to participate in the trade fair.
After bumping into Liu Qingyin in a restaurant, Song Qingming never went out again in the next few days in order not to attract the other person's attention and bring trouble to himself.
It was not until the "Star Sect" monks arrived and Chu Fengping and the others had already found a treasure ship to cross the sea that Song Qingming took Song Yuanhao and others to board the high-level treasure ship heading to "Lei Yuan Sea".
Liu Qingyin and others did not come to visit them again. Indeed, as Song Qingming had expected, they would appear on the island and were preparing to attend the "Lei Yuan Hai" trade fair on behalf of the sect.
After boarding the treasure ship and setting sail, Song Qingming was completely relieved and slowly focused on the high-level treasure ship he was riding.
From the East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World to the "Lei Yuan Sea" Cultivation World hundreds of thousands of miles away, the outer sea you have to pass through is very dangerous, filled with various high-level monsters, and even the Nascent Soul Demon Emperor haunt.
Even if you find the safest route, the treasure ship will inevitably be attacked by monsters.
And in this endless sea, if the treasure ship is not strong enough and is destroyed by the monster, then once the monks who have nowhere to hide on it fall into the sea, they will inevitably be buried in the belly of the monster.
Therefore, only high-level treasure ships that can fight against those powerful monsters in the outer sea can provide a certain degree of safety for the monks crossing the outer sea and help them reach the "Lei Yuan Sea" cultivation world on the other side of the sea.
This is also an important way for the East China Sea Cultivation World to connect to the "Lei Yuan Sea" Cultivation World. Almost every year, there are several large high-level treasure ships traveling between the two places, transporting the materials and monks needed by the two places.
The high-end treasure ship that Song Qingming and others were riding was controlled by a Nascent Soul sect in the world of immortal cultivation in the East China Sea, and its quality had reached the fourth level of low-grade.
This kind of high-level treasure ship of level 4 or above, when sailing at full speed, can not lose much speed compared with ordinary Yuanying monks, and can withstand the attack of the Demon Emperor at the Yuanying level.
But even so, if you are too unlucky and encounter many high-level monsters attacking you at the same time, the treasure ship will still be at risk of capsizing.
At this time, the monks on the ship were needed to help fight against the monsters in order to rescue the treasure ship. When Song Qingming traveled in the world of immortal cultivation in the East China Sea, he had already heard of similar things like this.
However, this time Song Qingming and others went to the "Lei Yuanhai" Immortal Cultivation World to participate in the trade fair on a large treasure ship. There were several times more monks on board than when they usually transported supplies.
There are also Bai Yuxian, Zheng Zitong and another Supreme Elder from the Nascent Soul Sect of the East China Sea Cultivation World. There are three Nascent Souls traveling together. The safety and convenience are much better than usual.
Because the distance between the two times is really too far, even if you take a high-level treasure ship of level four or above, it will probably take more than half a year to go back and forth.
During this period, everyone on the treasure ship also experienced a relatively boring period. In addition to daily meditation and practice, everyone could only stay on the ship and could not leave the treasure ship at will.
Song Qingming is a golden elixir monk who has been in seclusion for several years, so he is relatively adaptable to this.
As for Song Yuanqian and the other foundation-building monks, they seemed a little bored after a long time. They often couldn't help but go out to visit other fellow monks of Xiaoyao Sect.
During this period, Zhang Yurong also came to Song Yuanhao to have a chat with Song Yuanhao under Zhang Tieyang's intentional hint, hoping to build a relationship between the two.
Compared with Song Changze, who has a somewhat dull personality, Song Yuanhao is relatively sensitive in terms of personal feelings. After just one contact, he saw through Zhang Yurong's thoughts and went directly to Song Qingming to ask about the matter.
In this regard, Song Qingming did not choose to hide it from him, and directly informed Song Yuanhao of Zhang Tieyang's idea of marrying with the Song family.
From the beginning, Song Qingming knew that this matter was unlikely, but he did not refuse it face to face just so as not to refute Zhang Tieyang's face.
When Song Yuanhao came to the door, Song Qingming immediately told him what he meant.
He only made one request to Song Yuanhao, which was to take care of the relationship between the two families no matter what, and try to reject the other party as tactfully as possible, so as not to hurt Zhang Yurong with his words.
Nowadays, everyone is on the boat with their heads down, so they have to take each other's face into consideration. Otherwise, it would be a bit ugly if Zhang Tieyang came to him and said that Song Yuanhao was bullying other people's juniors.
After returning to Weiguo in the future, Song Qingming will find an excuse to slowly reject this matter.
In this regard, although Song Yuanhao felt a little helpless, he didn't say anything and just nodded in agreement.
After the treasure ship sailed for more than a month, it soon entered the extremely dangerous outer sea. Song Yuanqian and others on the ship also saw the powerful high-level monsters in the outer sea for the first time.
Almost every few days, the treasure ship will be attacked by various monsters in the sea.
On this treasure ship, there are more than a dozen giant "spiritual light cannons" of level three or above installed. Normally, a small group of low-level monsters will be directly dispersed by one of its cannons.
It is much more difficult to deal with those large groups of monster beasts that are larger in size and have the Golden Core Demon King among them.
Sometimes it even takes more than a dozen giant "spiritual light cannons" on the treasure ship to attack together to repel them and free the treasure ship from the siege of these monsters.
The most dangerous time was when the traveling treasure ship was suddenly besieged by a Yuanying Demon King with tens of thousands of monsters. Many low-level monks on the ship were also frightened by this scene.
In order to get out of the predicament, not only Song Qingming and many other golden elixir monks, but also several Nascent Soul Ancestors on the ship had to take action personally and left the treasure ship to fight the Demon Emperor in the sea.
It was not until hundreds of monster beast corpses were floating on the sea that the Nascent Soul Demon Emperor, who knew he could not take the treasure ship, decisively chose to retreat into the sea, allowing everyone to survive this crisis.
After sailing in the sea like this for half a year, one day the treasure ship suddenly sailed into a calmer blue sea.
Seeing the familiar color of the sea below, the monks on the boat who often traveled here suddenly burst into cheers.
Everyone then learned that they had successfully entered the "Lei Yuanhai" world of immortality.
After entering this sea area, as the monks said, the treasure ship never encountered a large-scale siege by a group of high-level monsters.
After driving forward for about half a month, a blue island in the distance came into view, and escaping lights began to appear around the treasure ship, as well as airships driven by human monks and low-level people. Treasure ship.
After sailing in the sea for half a year, many monks on the ship finally saw a large island with human monks activities.
Therefore, everyone couldn't help but have a hint of excitement in their eyes. (End of this chapter)
