"Donghuang Kingdom" Cultivation World, Pingzhou.
"Pingzhou" is located in the southeast of "Donghuang Kingdom". It is a small state capital. There are only a few Nascent Soul Sects among the strongest cultivating forces in it.
The "Thunder Cloud Valley" located to the west of Pingzhou is an area controlled by one of the Nascent Soul Sects, the "Five Thunder Sect".
In the early years of the "Five Thunder Sect", there were also god-transformation monks in the sect, and they once ranked among the top sects in the entire "East Phoenix Kingdom" world of immortality.
However, after tens of thousands of years passed, after the god-transformation ancestor took the reincarnation, no god-transformation monk appeared in the sect again, and the legacy he left behind had been almost consumed by subsequent generations of disciples.
However, as a long-established Nascent Soul sect with tens of thousands of years of heritage, the "Five Thunder Sect" has long lost its former glory, but its strength is still at the forefront among all the Nascent Soul sects in the entire "East Phoenix Immortal Continent".
Up to now, there are still five Nascent Soul cultivators in the "Five Thunder Sect", and they can occasionally join the ten major sects in the "East Phoenix Kingdom". It can be regarded as a strong Nascent Soul sect.
On this day, outside a market outside "Thunder Cloud Valley", a young man wearing a green robe strolled to the door of the market.
After verifying his identity by the monk guarding the gate of Fangshi, the man in green robe quickly walked into Fangshi, and then directly came to the highest attic in the middle of Fangshi.
The man in green robe looked up at the "Five Thunder Pavilion" sign hanging high in front of him, and strode in directly.
After saying a few words to the monk who came to receive him, the man in green robe was soon led to the hall on the second floor, and then a man in white who had reached the sixth floor of the foundation came to him.
The man in white glanced at the man in green robe sitting in front, felt the powerful aura emanating from him, and quickly stepped forward to salute him with a smile.
"Senior, Wu Qiyun is in charge of the Wu Lei Pavilion here. May I ask you what business you have come to see us for?"
After seeing the person reveal his identity, Song Qingming put down the teacup in his hand and nodded gently with a smile on his face. Then with a flash of inspiration, a palm-sized silver token appeared in his hand and was sent directly to a place not far away. In Wu Qiyun's hands.
"This is the token of the elders of our sect. Why is it in the hands of the seniors?"
Seeing the silver token that Song Qingming took out, Wu Qiyun recognized at a glance that it was something that only the elders of the sect's golden elixir could hold. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but ask Song Qingming who was aside. .
Seeing such surprise on the other person's face, Song Qingming was not surprised. He slowly opened his mouth and briefly told the story of how he got this thing.
This silver token was found on the corpse of a golden elixir monk that Song Qingming found while collecting divine thunder from heaven and earth in "Taiyue Lake" in the Song Dynasty.
At that time, in addition to the sect elder's token, there were some spiritual stones, martial arts books and other spiritual objects on the opponent's body.
Song Qingming collected all these things and took advantage of the opportunity to pass by Pingzhou on his way to the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world. He came to the "Five Thunder Sect" where the man was and prepared to help him return these relics.
After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Wu Qiyun's face suddenly became more cautious, and then he cupped his hands and said:
"Senior, this matter involves a Jindan elder from the sect. I am of low cultivation and cannot make the decision to handle the matter. I would like to ask you, senior, to wait here for a moment while I return to the sect to report something."
< br>
"Well! Little friend, please help yourself." Song Qingming waved his hand after hearing this, then lifted the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Seeing this, Wu Qiyun called a waiter from downstairs to help entertain Song Qingming, and he quickly left the "Five Thunder Pavilion" with the silver token.
After half a stick of incense had passed, Song Qingming, who had already changed several cups of spiritual tea under the hospitality of the waiter beside him, was about to get up and walk around.
A handsome-looking man in black robe suddenly walked up from the hall downstairs with Wu Qiyun and several others.
The man in black robe walking in front glanced at Song Qingming in front of him very sharply, and without saying anything, he took out the silver token in his hand.
"Did you send this thing back?"
Sensing the aura emanating from the visitor, who was clearly no longer in the category of a Golden Core cultivator, Song Qingming showed a little surprise on his face, and quickly stood up and bowed to him.
"Meet Senior!"
"What the senior said is true. This junior got it accidentally a few years ago. I happened to pass by your sect's territory today, so I took the initiative to send it back.
Except for this token, everything else is here. Please take a look at it, senior! ”
After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out all the relics from the storage bag obtained in "Taiyue Lake" with a flash of inspiration in his hand, and quickly sent them to the black-robed man and others.
Before the death of the "Five Thunder Sect" elder, he was just an early-stage Jindan monk.
Before Song Qingming came, he thought that sending back the other party's relics was not a big deal, but he never expected that this incident would alarm a Nascent Soul ancestor of the "Five Thunder Sect", which really surprised him.
After rummaging around among these spiritual objects, the man in black robe suddenly placed his eyes on one of the jade magic weapons that was already somewhat broken.
"Longxi Pei is really a relic of Junior Brother Chen. I didn't expect that he has fallen away for hundreds of years!"
The elder named Chen who died in "Taiyue Lake" was named Chen Mengtang. He and the black-robed man Zhao Mengyang of the "Five Thunder Sect" in front of him were direct brothers from the same sect.
Not only that, Chen Mengtang is also a descendant of Master Zhao Mengyang. When Zhao Mengyang had not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, he and Chen Mengtang also had an excellent relationship in the sect.
Hundreds of years ago, after Chen Mengtang disappeared while traveling, Zhao Mengyang was ordered by his master to take the monks in his sect and go to the immortal world of Fuyun Mountains to look for him.
But because he didn't know the specific location of Chen Mengtang's disappearance, Zhao Mengyang searched for it in the Fuyun Mountains for several years, but still couldn't find anything. Recently, he had no choice but to turn back.
After hundreds of years, no news about Chen Mengtang was found, and this matter has always become a heartache between their master and disciple.
Before Master Zhao Mengyang died, he still told Zhao Mengyang, who had already condensed his Nascent Soul, to find the bones of his junior brother Chen Mengtang in the future.
However, although his cultivation had broken through to the realm of Nascent Soul, he was still interested in this matter but was unable to do so. He sent his disciples several times to the Fuyun Mountain Cultivation World to inquire about information, but found nothing.
It was only now that Song Qingming sent Chen Mengtang's relics back that Zhao Mengyang finally had news about this junior brother who had been missing for hundreds of years.
Looking at the jade pendant magic weapon in his hand, Zhao Mengyang also felt a sense of emotion in his heart. This time he was finally able to fulfill his master's instructions back then.
Although Song Qingming had already told in detail how he found Chen Mengtang's remains when he returned the relics, Zhao Mengyang still asked Song Qingming carefully in person.
In this regard, Song Qingming, who was upright in his heart, naturally did not hide anything, and patiently told everyone what happened in detail, and also informed them of the location where Chen Mengtang's remains were buried.
After all, Chen Mengtang's fall was hundreds of years ago. Song Qingming was probably not even born at that time. No matter how suspicious the other party was, it was impossible for him to be suspicious.
After figuring out everything, Zhao Mengyang nodded slightly and put away Chen Mengtang's relics.
"Back then, I promised Master that I would retrieve the remains of my junior brother and put them in the sect's cemetery.
Little friend Song, you are able to travel thousands of miles to return the relics of the elders of our sect to "Thunder Cloud Valley", which is indeed a wish that I have hidden in my heart for many years.
Both me and the sect should remember this sentiment.
I wonder if there is anything you want in your heart during this trip. You can tell me. As long as it is convenient for me, I will use it to thank you! ”
Chen Mengtang is the Jindan elder of Yuanying Sect's "Five Thunder Sect", so his status should not be too low. Before sending back his relics this time, Song Qingming naturally thought that the other party would take out spiritual objects to reward him. .
However, at first Song Qingming just thought that he could get some spiritual stone rewards from it, but he did not expect that this matter would alert a Nascent Soul monk to come in person.
Hearing what Zhao Mengyang said at this moment, Song Qingming also knew that the other party would probably not be too stingy. After thinking for a moment, he raised his hands to Zhao Mengyang who was not far away and said slowly:
"To be honest, although I am far away practicing in the Fuyun Mountains, I am also very interested in the way of thunder. I have always wanted to find something that can carry and store the divine thunder of heaven and earth.
I wonder if your sect has a similar magic weapon. If you, the younger generation, want to use this to get one, you can also buy it with spiritual stones. ”
Ever since he practiced the "Heaven-Devouring Thunder Technique", Song Qingming has been trying to find one for himself over the years, so that he can store these "Heaven-Earth Divine Thunder" at any time because the method requires swallowing and refining the divine thunder of heaven and earth. "The magic weapon.
Otherwise, every time you find the "Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder" in the wild, it would be a bit inconvenient to devour and refine it.
Last time when Song Qingming was refining the divine thunder he had just obtained in his body at "Taiyue Lake", he was suddenly attacked by Ma Wuchen. If Song Qingyu hadn't helped to block the opponent for a while, he might have lost all his previous efforts.
However, there are not many sects in the world of immortality that practice thunder-repairing techniques. Song Qingming has been asking around for a long time to no avail.
This time when he arrived at the "Five Thunder Sect" which was good at manipulating thunder techniques, he couldn't help but want to try his luck and see if he could get what he wanted here.
"Oh! It turns out that little friend has also practiced thunder attribute skills. No wonder when I first came in, I felt a faint breath of thunder and fire on your body.
The little friend wants to store the divine thunder object of heaven and earth. Although I don’t know what it is used for, this object is indeed difficult to find. I don’t have such a spiritual object in my hand now. ”
After Zhao Mengyang finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then continued:
"However, since my friend and I took the initiative to make this request, I have heard that a senior brother in the sect has a similar magic weapon, but I can't guarantee whether I can get it from him. < br>
If you insist on getting this thing, I can try my best. If it doesn't work, I can only change it to another spiritual object that I can take out. Do you think this is feasible? ”
"Thank you for your help, senior!"
After hearing what Zhao Mengyang said, Song Qingming immediately agreed without any hesitation, and bowed to Zhao Mengyang in front of him with a happy expression.
——
Three days later, a blue light suddenly fell from a distance on a high mountain thousands of miles away from "Thunder Cloud Valley". Song Qingming, who was standing on the top of the mountain, glanced around, then suddenly moved his empty left hand, gathering a white thunder light, and making "crackling" sounds in his hand.
A moment later, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred next to Song Qingming, and a silver copper lamp appeared out of thin air. After the silver lamp appeared, seven auras of different colors immediately flashed out from it, illuminating the surrounding area with colorful colors in an instant.
After a while, under the control of Song Qingming's spell, the silver copper lamp shot out a colorful spiritual light and pulled the white divine thunder in Song Qingming's hand into the copper lamp.
"Haha! It really works. The Five Thunder Sect is indeed the Nascent Soul Sect that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. This trip is really not in vain!"
Seeing the white thunder light that was originally very restless, it immediately became calm and docile after entering the silver copper lamp, and Song Qingming's face immediately showed a hint of joy.
This silver copper lamp is called the "Seven Color Thunder Lamp". It is a very rare third-level high-grade magic weapon. It has the effect of controlling the divine thunder of heaven and earth, and its power is much stronger than the "Thunder Gathering Bead" on Song Qingming's body.
The "Seven Color Thunder Lamp" in Song Qingming's hand was the spiritual reward he obtained from Zhao Mengyang after waiting outside "Thunder Cloud Valley" for several days.
Song Qingming, who had just given it a try with a glimmer of hope, did not expect that Zhao Mengyang actually helped him get this spiritual object. In the end, he did not accept a spiritual stone from Song Qingming and directly rewarded him with this magic weapon.
You must know that a third-level top-grade magic weapon on the market costs at least thirty to forty thousand spiritual stones. This "seven-color thunder lamp" is a very rare magic weapon with magical powers.
Zhao Mengyang actually rewarded him with such a valuable spiritual object so generously. While Song Qingming was a little surprised, he also felt the generosity of these Yuanying monks from the major sects.
Even after he left "Thunder Cloud Valley" for a long time, Song Qingming was still filled with emotion, and he didn't know if he had gotten used to being poor over the years.
In any case, Song Qingming did gain a lot from this somewhat unintentional trip to the "Five Thunder Sect".
Not only did he exchange some worthless relics from Chen Mengtang for the "Seven-Colored Thunder Lamp", a magic weapon that was very useful to him, he was also able to get acquainted with Yuanying monks like Zhao Mengyang and form a good relationship.
Maybe if I encounter something in the future and need help, I can still use the relationship between Zhao Mengyang and the "Five Thunder Sect".
Thinking of this, Song Qingming also smiled a little more on his face.
Then he put away the "seven-color thunder lamp" in his hand, took out the flying boat and jumped on it.
After a while, Song Qingming, who was riding the "Phantom Boat", turned into a white light and disappeared on the mountain.
Nanzhou, Waihai.
On the vast and boundless sea, a small boat, only five or six feet long, was sailing alone on the sea. From a distance, it looked like a leaf falling in the water.
A woman wearing a long black dress was standing alone on the bow of the boat, staring blankly at the boundless sea in the distance.
Not far behind the woman, there was a middle-aged man who was working hard to control the rudder of the boat. While carefully controlling the direction of the boat, he looked at the woman standing in front of him with some confusion.
It wasn't until the boat approached a huge island that the middle-aged man carefully reminded him: "Senior Li, we are almost at Yuxuan Island."
Hearing the middle-aged man's voice, the woman in black turned around and threw a bag of spiritual stones to him.
"Sorry to trouble you!"
After the woman in black finished speaking, she immediately turned into a ray of light and left the boat. Then she went straight to the island not far away and quickly disappeared in mid-air.
"It's strange that I always talked non-stop here before. It's only been a few decades since my temperament has changed a lot!"
Looking at the direction in which the woman in black was going, the middle-aged man shook his head and muttered to himself, then put away the spiritual stone he had just received, turned around and left the vicinity of the island.
The "Taixu Gate" of Yuxuan Island is located in a stone pavilion on the top of the mountain.
Liu Yang, who was wearing a white robe, was sitting at the stone table in the pavilion, holding a scroll of bamboo slips and watching carefully.
On the other side of the stone table, a young woman in white looked down at the chess game filled with chess pieces on the stone table, with a look of confusion on her face.
Suddenly, a black light flew from a distance and landed outside the stone pavilion, revealing a figure that was somewhat familiar to Liu Yang.
"Sister Li! It's you who are back."
Seeing Li Xuanyi approaching not far away, Liu Yang immediately dropped the bamboo slips in his hand and ran towards her with a happy expression.
When Li Xuanyi saw this, he smiled slightly and stepped forward to return a salute to Liu Yang.
"Junior brother Liu, how are you? Is this a new junior sister?"
Seeing Li Xuanyi looking at the woman in white next to him, Liu Yang quickly introduced: "Sister, this is Junior Sister Jin Yao. She only went up the mountain twenty years ago. Senior Sister has never seen her before."
“I’ve met Senior Sister Li!”
Seeing the delicate-looking Jin Yao and looking at Liu Yang aside, Li Xuanyi smiled and nodded slightly to them.
"I haven't been back for so long, and I didn't expect that the sect would have another junior sister. I came in a hurry. I hope junior sister won't dislike this little gift!"
After Li Xuanyi finished speaking, he took out an exquisite-looking hairpin from his body and gave it directly to Jin Yao, which immediately put a look of joy on his face.
"Thank you, senior sister!"
Seeing Jin Yao on the side grinning from ear to ear, Liu Yang immediately stepped forward and said to Li Xuanyi:
"Senior sister has not returned to the sect for so long. Master misses you so much. He was talking about you in front of me a few days ago. I didn't expect that senior sister will really come back today."
Hearing Liu Yang mention his master as "Taoist Lingxu", Li Xuanyi's smile immediately stopped and he asked again: "Where is the master now? How is he doing these years?"
"Master is not in the cave now. He seems to have gone fishing at the bottom of the mountain. Senior sister, wait a moment. I will take you there right away."
After Liu Yang finished speaking, he took out his flying boat, then took Li Xuanyi on board and passed through the "mountain protection formation" high in the sky. After a while, he arrived at the coast at the corner of "Yuxuan Island" below.
As soon as the flying boat landed on a flat ground, Li Xuanyi saw a simple old man wearing a bamboo hat sitting quietly on a white reef not far away, holding a long bamboo pole and looking at the water not far away. .
"Junior Brother Liu, thank you for leading the way. There's nothing going on here. You can go back first!"
"We haven't seen each other for decades, but Senior Sister likes to be so polite to me just like Senior Brother Song. I remember when we were practicing together at the foot of the mountain, we talked about everything. How could Senior Sister be so outspoken in everything?"
Feeling that Li Xuanyi's attitude towards him seemed to have changed a lot after he came back this time, Liu Yang, who was a bit belatedly aware of this, slowly had a look of confusion on his face.
Seeing this, Li Xuanyi quickly squeezed out a smile and replied: "I have been practicing in seclusion these years, and I haven't had time to come back to see you. I really feel unfamiliar.
Junior Brother Liu, don’t be angry with me. I brought good things to you this time. ”
After saying that, Li Xuanyi had a flash of inspiration in his hand, and a very exquisite third-level middle-grade spiritual talisman appeared, and he sent it to Liu Yang.
"This talisman was drawn by myself a few years ago. It is considered a rare thing, so I gave it to my junior brother!"
"Senior sister, what are you doing? Junior brother, I don't dare to accept such a valuable thing. I have followed Master all these years and I have no shortage of spiritual objects. Senior sister, take it back quickly!"
Seeing that the talisman that Li Xuanyi took out as a gift was somewhat valuable, Liu Yang quickly waved his hand to refuse, but Li Xuanyi ignored him and still put the talisman into Liu Yang's hand.
"By the way, Junior Brother Liu, you just mentioned Junior Brother Song, but has he been to the sect recently?"
Hearing Li Xuanyi's inquiry, Liu Yang quickly shook his head and said: "Junior brother Song has never been to the sect. I met him a few years ago when I went to Lei Yuanhai to participate in the trade fair with my fourth brother.
At that time, Junior Brother Song specifically asked me to say hello to Senior Sister on his behalf, and said that if Senior Sister needs any help, just send him a message.
Speaking of which, Junior Brother Song is really a genius in cultivation. When I saw him, Junior Brother Song's cultivation had reached the peak of the eighth level of the Golden Core. It is estimated that by now he should have broken through to the ninth level of the Golden Core. ”
"Oh! He has cultivated to the ninth level of the Golden Core so quickly. You are right. His spiritual root talent can actually be cultivated faster than us. Master's vision is really right."< br>
Li Xuanyi smiled and nodded. After saying goodbye to Liu Yang, he turned around and walked towards the location of "Taoist Lingxu".
Seeing Li Xuanyi coming over and sitting next to him with a quiet expression, "Taoist Lingxu" with a fishing rod in his hand turned to look at her and quickly returned to the sea.
An old man and a young man just sat quietly on the white reef, letting the sea breeze blow the huge waves to hit the bottom of the reef, but neither of them reacted at all.
It was not until a long time later that the fishing rod in the hand of "Taoist Lingxu" finally responded. With a flick of the bamboo rod, a big fish over a foot high dehydrated and landed directly on the fish not far from him. In a bamboo basket that had been prepared.
"Why, if I don't let them send you the news this time, are you really not going to come back and see me, old man?" (End of Chapter)
