Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 197 The Patriarch’s Retreat
Before leaving the Tiandan Pavilion, Song Qingming specifically asked when the Tiandan Alliance's auction would be held again. He wanted to see if he could have a chance to sell some of the remaining thousand-year spiritual milk in his hands through the Tiandan Alliance's auction.

It's a pity that I learned from Deng Zhongkuo that the Tiandan League auction is usually held only once a year. Unfortunately, it happened just a few months ago. Song Qingming wanted to participate, but he could only wait until next year.

Song Qingming would not dare to deal with a very precious spiritual object like the Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk in the market casually. Once someone catches his eye, even the ancestors of the Golden Elixir would be tempted. Now he wants to deal with it inconspicuously. We can only place our hope in the Tiandan Alliance Auction, a place that pays attention to protecting customer information.

Fortunately, after getting rid of this batch of spiritual medicine, he is not so anxious to use the spiritual stones at the moment. As long as he can get rid of them safely, waiting for a while will not have any impact on him.

Next, Song Qingming went to several pharmacies, and finally sold all the remaining elixirs in his hands, and in exchange for nearly two thousand spiritual stones.

Seeing that there were more and more spiritual stones in the storage bag on his waist, Song Qingming was satisfied and slowly walked towards the gate of Fangshi, preparing to return to Qinghe County.

The foundation-building cultivator flew with his sword and left as quickly as he came. Song Qingming returned to Funiu Mountain in less than ten days from Yangshanfang.

After giving the Marrow Cleansing Pill to Song Changfeng, Song Qingming spent some time to compile some foundation building experiences that he and Xu Ziyan told him when he was building the foundation, and compiled a book of foundation building experience, and gave it to his sixth uncle Song Changfeng, hoping to It was of some help to him.

Although he already had the help of two auxiliary foundation-building pills, Song Qingming knew very well that as long as there were no foundation-building pills, it would be very dangerous for the monks to forcefully build the foundation.

In the two-hundred-year history of the Song family, in addition to Song Changfeng, there was another elder of the Song family who had taken this step a hundred years ago. This elder of the Song family also prepared an auxiliary elixir at that time, but unfortunately it failed in the end. A few months later, when he failed to build the foundation, he just sat down in his cave and didn't even have time to leave a last word.

At that time, the power of the Song family was much weaker than it is now. The sudden loss of a strong man at the peak of Qi refining also hit the entire Song family for a time, attracting many casual cultivators around to spy on the spiritual land of Funiu Mountain. .

Fortunately, the entire Song family united as one, and after repelling several attempts by rogue cultivators, they overcame the difficulties and did not lose the ancestral land of Funiu Mountain. Otherwise, the Song family in Funiu Mountain might have disappeared in the long history of Qinghe County. .

Since then, for more than a hundred years, no one from the Song family who has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining has dared to build a foundation by force.

First of all, the risk of forcibly building a foundation without a foundation-building pill is too great. Otherwise, you may die immediately. This is a choice that leaves no way for you to retreat. If you dare to take this step, you need a monk to take care of it. Deadly determination.

Secondly, every monk in the Song family who can practice to the ninth level of Qi refining and has the opportunity to build a foundation is very important to the entire family. Once such a pillar is easily lost, the Song family will most likely suffer disaster, which will also make When these people make this choice, they have an extra layer of worry.

As the patriarch of this generation of the Song family, Song Changfeng made this choice now partly because Song Qingming greatly reduced his concerns in this regard after establishing the foundation.

As long as Song Qingming, the foundation-building ancestor, does not fall, even if the Song family loses a leader like him who is at the ninth level of Qi refining, the impact on the entire family will not be too great. Since Song Qingming established the foundation, all the monks of the Song family have been greatly encouraged. In the past few years, not only the sixth uncle Song Changfeng of the entire Song family has taken this step, but his cultivation has reached the level of the ninth level of Qi Refining, which is enough to qualify. Several people who were building the foundation, including the ninth uncle Song Changxin and the second sister Song Qingwan, had more or less thoughts of forcibly building the foundation.

After all, outsiders may not know, but they know very well that Song Qingming's qualifications in the Song family were very ordinary. He, with his four-spirit root qualifications, could finally succeed in foundation building, which also greatly reduced the difficulty of foundation building for everyone in the Song family. estimate.

They didn't know that when Song Qingming was building the foundation, he not only had auxiliary elixirs like the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but also used two foundation-building pills to finally succeed.

The tribesmen underestimated the difficulty of foundation building. In fact, Song Qingming began to have some worries in his heart. Even though the news that his third brother Song Qingze failed in foundation building had reached Funiu Mountain, everyone's views on this point did not change much.

However, because of this reason, Song family monks have generally practiced much harder than before in recent years, and there have been several more late-stage Qi refining monks, which Song Qingming is very pleased about.

After the patriarch Song Changfeng went into seclusion to build the foundation, all the affairs of the clan suddenly fell on Song Qingming. This also made him a little busy on Funiu Mountain, and he didn't even have time to visit Qinghefang.

After just over a month of busy work, Funiu Mountain welcomed another unexpected guest, which made Song Qingming, who was already having a headache, smile. This person was his old acquaintance Shi Chun from Guiyunfang.

After learning of Shi Chun's arrival, Song Qingming, who happened to be drawing the talisman in the cave, heard the news. He happily threw the unfinished talisman aside and hurriedly ran down the mountain to greet him.

Seeing Song Qingming, a senior foundation-building monk, come out to greet him in person, Shi Chun, who came to seek refuge, was also very surprised. After all, he was just an ordinary late-stage Qi-refining monk and did not have any powerful immortal cultivation skills. He never expected that Song Qingming would Take yourself so seriously.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the levels of various monks are very strict. It is rare to see people who can still care about an ordinary friend in the Qi refining stage after building a foundation. That day in Fuyun Mountains, Song Qingming was able to put down his identity and take the initiative to help. To be honest, This was already a rare thing in Shi Chun's eyes, and it was also the biggest reason why he finally made up his mind to join Song Qingming in the past few months.

Ordinary cultivating families in the Qi Refining Period are too weak and can only trust their own bloodline. They will not actively recruit outside cultivators into the family to avoid being turned against the masters by outside cultivators, or causing unprovoked troubles due to unknown people. .

Only when the foundation-building family becomes stronger, will they take the initiative to recruit some skilled casual cultivators from outside to serve as guest ministers and other positions in the family to help manage the family industry.

After Song Qingming established the foundation, the Song family also recruited several casual cultivators with relatively innocent wealth like Li Quan in the market to help manage several shops in Qinghefang.
Before that, the Song family had just become a foundation-building family, and they didn't have much property to their name. Their monks were still able to cope with it. Since they started operating the Duanliu Mountain fine copper mine together with the Huang family, the Song family sent many The monks helped stationed there, and Funiu Mountain suddenly became a lot empty. Shi Chun's arrival was indeed timely.
