Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 598: Teach the skills and meet each other (Chapter )

Three months later, in the cemetery behind the Song family.

A brand new tombstone has been erected where many "new" generation monks are buried.

Song Yuanhao, who had just held the foundation building ceremony not long ago, was sitting alone in front of the tombstone with a calm face, slowly burning the few remaining paper money in his hand.

Although he took a life-extending peach, Song Xintang could only hold on for less than half a year and soon sat in his own cave.

Fortunately, during his lifetime, he not only saw Song Yuanhao's successful foundation building, but also reluctantly participated in Song Yuanhao's foundation building celebration despite being ill, and he left with no regrets.

After burning the stack of paper money in his hand, Song Yuanhao stood up and went to the tombstone, and poured a glass of the spiritual wine he loved the most to the elder he was closest to.

Although his father Song Xinhe's tombstone is right next to Song Xintang, Song Yuanhao has not seen his father since he was a child, so he has no impression of Song Xinhe at all.

In his heart, Song Xintang, the family elder who had taken good care of him and guided his practice for decades, had obviously slowly replaced the role of his father in his heart.

"The path of immortality is misty, and there will be a day of farewell after all. Uncle Nine will be happy to see you succeed in building the foundation before he leaves. Yuan Hao, don't be too sad."

Just as Song Yuanhao stood there in a daze, a somewhat emotional voice suddenly came from not far away.

Song Yuanhao turned around and found Song Yuanfang who was not far from him. He quickly put away the trace of sadness on his face and showed a smile.

"After practicing these past few days, I have been doing nothing. When I had time, I came to see Uncle Jiu and my father. Brother Sixteen, don't worry, I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Song Yuanfang smiled and nodded, stepped forward and poured a glass of spiritual wine for the elder Song Xintang, and lightly sprinkled it on his tombstone.

"Seventh uncle just sent someone to find you. Yuan Hao, you should go to his place quickly!"

Hearing that Song Qingming was looking for him, Song Yuanhao nodded in response, glanced at the two tombstones in front of him, and then left with Song Yuanfang with a calm expression.

On the top of Funiu Mountain, inside Song Qingming Cave.

Song Qingyu, dressed in green clothes, held a pot of freshly brewed spiritual tea in his hand, came to the side of the stone table, and poured a cup for Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan who were sitting there.

"Brother Qi, try the spiritual tea I brewed. It's not as good as my sister-in-law's craftsmanship."

Song Qingming smiled and picked up the teacup on the table, put it under his nose, closed his eyes and smelled it gently, then slowly poured a small sip into his mouth.

Under Song Qingyu's expectant gaze, Song Qingming took a sip of spiritual tea and slowly opened his eyes.

"The flavor is mellow, long and powerful, and it's at least 70% to 80% as hot as your sister-in-law. You've only just learned how to make tea, so if you can reach this level, it's really good."

Hearing Song Qingming's praise, Song Qingyu put down a trace of nervousness on his face and said happily:

"For someone like you, Brother Qi, to be so picky and talk so highly, it means that I have not wasted so much time studying this with my sister-in-law."

When Huang Siyuan heard this, she also picked up the spiritual tea on the table and took a sip. She nodded with a smile on her face and said: "Qingyu's craftsmanship is indeed very good. I don't know who will be lucky enough to drink it every day in the future." To the spiritual tea you brewed.”

"Sister-in-law, please don't laugh at me. I don't want to make tea for others every day. It's enough for me to have a chance to make a cup of tea for you and Brother Qi." After hearing Huang Siyuan's words, Song Qingyu His face turned red, and he immediately shook his head and retorted.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Song Qingming also smiled and shook his head without saying anything more.

Among the core monks of the Song family who were above the foundation level, except for himself and Song Yuanfang, several others were focused on cultivation and had not yet chosen to start a family, which was something that gave him a slight headache.

There is nothing wrong with monks pursuing Taoism and practicing hard, but it is always better to have a Taoist companion to support each other throughout a lifetime than to be alone all the time.

As the head of the Song family and the eldest person in the Song family, Song Qingming naturally wants to see every monk in the Song family find a suitable Taoist companion like himself.

But this kind of thing, after all, still depends on some fate. What can't be forced can only depend on their future fortune.

While several people were talking, there was a wave of fluctuations in the formation restriction at the entrance of Song Qingming's cave. After Song Qingming waved his hand to open the restriction, Song Yuanhao soon walked in from the outside.

"I've met a few ancestors!"

Seeing Song Yuanhao in front of him, who had matured a lot after building the foundation, Song Qingming smiled and waved to him, indicating that he got up and came to her.

"This technique is called Soul Devouring Technique. After practice, it can strengthen the monk's own soul. It will also help you to form pills in the future. You should practice it first. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me or Qing Yu. .

You remember, Soul Devouring Art is an important secret skill of the family. Without our permission, we cannot easily reveal it to others, even those close to the family. "

After taking the bamboo slips of the exercises that Song Qingming gave him, Song Yuanhao immediately nodded respectfully and thanked Song Qingming.

Although the "Soul-Eating Jue" technique can greatly enhance and improve the spiritual consciousness of monks, because the requirements for practitioners in the early stage are too stringent, monks during the Qi Refining Period do not have a large supply of resources, so it is difficult for them to persist in practicing.

Therefore, Song Qingming did not put this technique in the Song Family's Golden Pavilion, but kept it with him all these years.

In comparison, the other divine soul techniques in the Song Family's Golden Pavilion, especially the "Feng Yuan Soul Forging Technique" that Song Qingming first practiced back then, were more practical in the early stage.

Although these divine soul techniques are not as effective as the "Soul-Eating Art" after practice, they do not require high training requirements for monks and do not require too many resources. They are more suitable for low-level monks in the family who are interested in divine soul techniques. .

Since he obtained the spiritual consciousness technique "Soul-Eating Art" from Feng He, Song Qingming has not only practiced it himself in recent years, but also slowly passed on this technique to many members of the Song family, including Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan. Brother Ji.

However, among them, except for Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, who have already reached the second level, several others, although they have been practicing for a while, are still at the first level and have not made much progress.

Practicing the Divine Soul Technique still requires some talent. People who are less talented in this area will indeed practice slightly slower.

In addition to the reason of personal talent, there is also the practice of "Soul Devouring Art". In the early stage, a large number of monster souls need to be collected and a large amount of spiritual stones need to be invested. For a foundation-building monk, it is indeed very consuming of one's own training resources.

Song Yuanli and several other juniors, even though they belong to the Song family, a golden elixir clan, the family benefits they can receive are much better than those of the foundation-building families and foundation-building monks from outside casual cultivators.

But in their own cultivation, they now also need to consume a lot of spiritual stones and cultivation resources. Naturally, they don't want to invest too many of their spiritual stones in improving their souls, which are currently of little help to them.

Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan were able to cultivate to the second level so quickly because they took a longer time to build the foundation than others and were relatively richer, so they could have more spiritual stones to use in practicing "Soul-eating". "Decision" above.

In this regard, Song Qingming did not interfere too much in their choice.

After all, although practicing the "Soul-Eating Art" can help monks form pills in the future, it is also very limited.

In contrast, the improvement of one's own cultivation is naturally more important.

If you are unable to cultivate to the point of forming an elixir, no matter how many useful things you are given for forming an elixir, in the end it will be nothing more than drawing water from a bamboo basket.

"Yuan Hao, now that you have successfully established the foundation, the family will no longer restrict you from staying in the mountain. From now on, you can go down the mountain to Fangshi or other places at will, but you still need to say hello to Yuan Fang beforehand.

I think you can do this too! "

When Song Yuanhao heard this, a hint of unexpected joy immediately appeared on his face. After nodding in agreement, he thought for a moment and then raised his hands towards Song Qingming and said:

"Seventh uncle, now that I have successfully built the foundation, I can do something for the family. I would like to ask you to arrange another family task for me, so that I will not have nothing to do except practice all day long."

After hearing Song Yuanhao's sincere request, Song Qingming looked at him and thought for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Originally I wanted to wait for a while before arranging things for you, but since you are so determined to contribute to the family, I won't disappoint you.

Yuan Li just wants to come back to practice in seclusion. If you prepare for tomorrow, go to Yinfeng Ridge and take his place for a while. There are still a few elders there now. You are still young. After you go there, you should listen to their opinions on everything. "

"Thank you, Uncle Seven, Yuan Hao understands."

Seeing that Song Qingming agreed to him and arranged for him to go to Yinfengling to replace Song Yuanli, Song Yuanhao suddenly smiled and thanked Song Qingming excitedly.

After sending Song Yuanhao away, Song Qingyu said again: "After Xintang left, Yuan Hao seemed to have become a lot more mature all of a sudden.

But Brother Qi, are you asking him to go to Yin Fengling directly? It's a little too fast. After all, Yuan Hao has just established the foundation not long ago. If something happens there, it will be too late for us to regret it. "

Hearing this, Song Qingming nodded and replied: "Yeah! It's true that he is a little too quick, but the young monks in the family lack experience in dealing with people. It might be a good thing to let them go out to experience it earlier. , can make them grow faster in the future, isn’t that how we all came here.”

"Don't worry, you two. Although Yuan Hao has just established the foundation, I think he is still much more flexible than Chang Ze when encountering problems.

Although there are many monsters and beasts in Yinfengling, which is more dangerous, there are still two foundation-building monks from Xiaoyao Sect. If we write a letter to say hello to them and help take care of them, there shouldn't be any big problem. "

"Yes! What Siyuan said is right. I'll just write a letter in my own hand and give it to Yuan Hao and ask him to take it with him.

But speaking of Changze, what's been going on with that kid lately? If he doesn't just stay in the mountains and practice, why is he always running to Jingyuan Mountain? Maybe he has a crush on that girl from the Liu family. "

When Song Qingming mentioned Song Changze's recent unusual behavior, Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu, who were sitting nearby, immediately smiled knowingly.

"Haha! Brother Qi, haven't you always been worried about the life-long events of these juniors? Changze and Yuxin are similar in age and have similar cultivation levels. Isn't it quite suitable?
From your tone, it seems that you are still a little worried about this matter. Could it be that you feel that this girl Yu Xin is not worthy of Changze. "

Song Qingming shook his head when he heard this and said: "I'm not saying that the two of them are not suitable, but after all, Changze's character is too honest, and that girl from the Liu family has a bad temper. If the two of them really get together, Changze Ze will inevitably be bullied in the future."

"Although Yu Xin has a bit of a bad temper, she is quite good in other aspects. She has a straightforward personality and doesn't have too many scheming thoughts. I think she and Chang Ze are a good match.

After all, when two people are together, it still depends on fate. If they really fall in love with each other, they will like them, and it is not a big deal to suffer some grievances. "

Hearing what Huang Siyuan said, Song Qingming thought for a while, smiled and sighed slightly: "You are right, it still depends on their fate. If Changze really likes it, we elders will not stop.

But even if we agree to this matter, we still have to see what Fellow Daoist He means in the future. After all, Liu Yuxin is her direct disciple. Without her nod, we cannot make the decision on our own. "

"Don't worry about this. As long as Changze and the others can get together, when Sister He comes back from traveling, I will come forward and talk to her, and there shouldn't be any big problem.

Brother Qi, you can rest assured and leave this matter to me. After all, I am half of Yu Xin's elder. No matter how bad-tempered this girl is, she will still listen to what I say. "

Huang Siyuan nodded and said: "Qing Yu is right. If Changze and Yu Xin can really succeed, our Song family can add another foundation-building monk. This can be considered a great joy."

"Haha! I hope so!" After Song Qingming finished speaking, he picked up the teacup in his hand with a smile on his face and took another sip of the spiritual tea.

Although Liu Yuxin returned to Qinghe County for just over a year, Song Qingming still knew her somewhat.

Over the past year or so, Song Qingming had not intervened in the rebuilding of the Liu family in Jingyuan Mountain, but he was fully aware of all the big and small things that happened there.

He Mengxin only negotiated with the Song family to obtain the spiritual vein of Jingyuan Mountain, and then left with her fellow senior sister Xia Mo to travel. The subsequent reconstruction of the Liu family was basically handled by Liu Yuxin .

I have to say that although Liu Yuxin looks young, she still has the ability to handle things.

With the help of the Song family, in just over a year, she not only quickly stabilized the situation in Jingyuan Mountain.

He also found a way to use some reasonable means to send back many Liu family mortals who had been living in other surrounding immortal cultivating families after the Liu family was destroyed, back to Jingyuan Mountain.

When it comes to personal abilities in managing the family and dealing with people, Liu Yuxin's personal abilities are indeed very strong. Even in the Song family, there are few people who can do better than her.

After Song Qingming and the other three sat and chatted for a while, they got up and walked out of his cave together. They happened to see Song Yuanfang, who had rushed to the top of the mountain after receiving the news.

"Yuan Fang, I wrote this letter specially. You give it to Yuan Hao and ask him to take it with him when he goes to Yinfeng Ridge. I will leave all the family matters to you."

After a few words with Song Yuanfang, Song Qingming took out the "Phantom Boat", took Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu, and headed towards Tuoyun Mountain together.

Song Qingming, who was standing on the "Phantom Boat", looked at the peaceful and peaceful scene of the Song family realm below, and slowly felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Since the Ma family's rebellion decades ago, Weiguo has ushered in a relatively peaceful time. No matter whether it is Tuoyunshan or Qinghe and Pingyang counties, nothing major has happened in these years. Compared with the past, it is indeed It is much more peaceful.

However, the reason why the northeastern area of ​​Weiguo is much more peaceful than before is mainly due to the sudden rise of the Song family and the sudden emergence of a Golden Pill Immortal Clan in the territory.

Before the Song family ruled this generation, the northeastern part of the Wei Kingdom, especially Pingyang County adjacent to the Fuyun Mountains, was often haunted by bandit cultivators or demonic cultivators. Occasionally, there would be tragic scenes where an entire family of cultivators was wiped out by demonic cultivators.

Although the situation in Qinghe County is slightly better, there was also an incident where the Wu family in Longtan Mountain was secretly infiltrated by Gu Liangshan and other demon cultivators, and the whole family was almost wiped out.

If the Wu family hadn't found out in time and asked the Song family for help, I'm afraid there would no longer be a Wu family in Longtan Mountain in Qinghe County.

The reason why there are so many demonic cultivators and bandit cultivators entrenched near the northeastern part of Weiguo is because there were no powerful golden elixir cultivators in Pingyang and Qinghe County back then, and the deterrent given to them was too low.

Just like the Eagle's Nest Ridge where the bandit cultivators were entrenched in the past, even if everyone knows that the other party is hiding there, once you organize a large-scale manpower to get there, these bandit cultivators will have enough time to evacuate once they get the news.

Even if all the major cultivating families act together, no matter how many low-level cultivators are mobilized, it will be difficult to wipe them out at once.

But once people like them offend a Jindan monk, it will be completely different.

When the Eagle's Nest Ridge was annihilated back then, if it had been Song Qingming who had taken action personally, he wouldn't have had to expend so much effort and send many low-level monks there.

With just him, Song Qingming could level the entire Eagle's Nest Ridge in half a day at most.

In the past few decades, precisely because of the rise of the Song family, the bandit cultivators and demonic cultivators that were originally entrenched in the northeastern part of the Wei Kingdom have basically disappeared over the years.

Most of the notorious bandit cultivators have left the vicinity of Weiguo and fled to the Zhengguo Immortal Realm on the other side of Yunwu Mountain.

After all, they have been hiding under the nose of a Jindan family all year round. If they are targeted by the Song family and provoke the Jindan monks to take action, they may not be able to escape with their lives.

Because life has become much more peaceful, Qinghe and Pingyang counties have developed the most rapidly in the past few decades. The number of monks and mortals has begun to surpass the neighboring counties of Jiangling and Wuping.

In the past few decades in Qinghe County, although the Lu family has been missing from the Ji-building family, the Fengtoushan Wang family was quickly promoted to the Ji-building family, filling this vacancy.

Although the newly rebuilt Liu Family in Jingyuan Mountain still has few monks, it is still nominally a Qi Refining Family affiliated with the Song Family, but Liu Yuxin, a foundation-building monk, is also in charge all year round.

Even if Song Qingming and others are absent from time to time, there are still more than a dozen foundation-building monks in Qinghe County who are stationed all year round, and their strength has far exceeded that of the era headed by the Huang family of Taiyuan Mountain a hundred years ago.

It is unlikely that ordinary low-level bandit cultivators or demonic cultivators would choose to stay in Qinghe County, a peaceful place that easily attracts attention, for a long time. They prefer places that are relatively chaotic and where they can hide themselves.

This is also the biggest reason why many low-level demon cultivators and bandit cultivators would mix in from the northern part of the Wei Kingdom every time there was a turmoil between monsters and beasts.

But even so, the days of peace will not last long after all. The once-in-a-century monster turmoil in northern Xinjiang, and the high-level magic cultivators at the Golden Core level hidden near Weiguo, will all break the borders of Weiguo's east border at any time in the future. This peaceful.

Although the Song family now has the ability to maintain peace within its territory.

But after experiencing the secret realm of the "Babel Tower" and seeing the magical powers of many high-level monks, Song Qingming also realized that although he had successfully formed the elixir, his strength was far from strong enough.

Not to mention those Yuanying monks whose strength is beyond reach, there are hundreds of golden elixir stage powerhouses who have entered the ninth floor of Babel Tower.

Take out any one of them, and I'm afraid it will be able to destroy the current Song family.

If he wants to be able to protect himself and the peace of the Song family territory in the world of immortality, Song Qingming must be strong enough.

Having just arrived at Tuoyun Mountain, Song Qingming and the others had not rested for a while. After learning the news, Lin Yutang quickly sent a transmission note requesting to see Song Qingming.

Song Qingming, who didn't know what happened, hurriedly summoned Lin Yutang and his two brothers to his cave on the top of the mountain.

"Senior Song, we didn't dare to agree to Senior Zhang because of the message from Guyang Mountain. Don't get me wrong."

After Lin Yutang's somewhat nervous and sincere explanation, Song Qingming realized that the two of them had been worried about a misunderstanding about Zhang Tieyang, so they came over to explain the matter to him in a hurry.

Although Song Qingming was a little surprised that Xiaoyao Sect refused Zhang Tieyang to take over Tuoyun Mountain, he also figured out some of the reasons afterwards.

Although Xiaoyao Sect has no intention of managing the spiritual vein of Tuoyun Mountain, they will never let outsiders interfere easily with Tuoyunshan Fang City.

After all, Song Qingming is half one of his own, and the Song family has basically not been involved in the specific affairs of Tuoyunshanfang City in recent years. The Xiaoyao Sect is naturally very satisfied with this and does not want to change the current status quo.
