Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Compared with Song Qingming's retreat to form the elixir, although Song Qingyu lacked the help of the spiritual spring, she went further than Song Qingming when she formed the elixir for the first time.

In addition, her own spiritual root talent is better than Song Qingming's at that time. Logically speaking, the probability of successfully forming a pill this time is indeed higher than Song Qingming's back then.

Hearing Song Qingming's words of comfort, Song Qingyu smiled and said, "Seventh Brother, you said so much, but I still like this sentence.

Although I also know that forming a pill is not an easy thing, don't worry, I have had the experience of forming a pill once before. I still have some confidence in this matter, and I will definitely not let you down this time."

"Since Qingyu has such great confidence, your sister-in-law would like to congratulate you in advance. I hope you can succeed in forming the golden elixir soon and witness the golden elixir path." Seeing how confident Song Qingyu was, Huang Siyuan on the side couldn't help but stand up, bowed and congratulated her.

Song Qingyu bowed and said in return: "Thank you, sister-in-law. However, your Cang Yuan Technique is almost perfect now, and you should be able to try to form a pill in seclusion soon.

Maybe you can succeed in forming the elixir before me, so I want to congratulate you here first."

Huang Siyuan smiled and shook her head, saying: "This is my first time to break through to the Golden Core Realm, how can I have such a high hope of success, you really flatter me.

But like you, I will not give up the idea of ​​forming a pill easily. If it doesn't work this time, then I will try hard to succeed next time. Although it is not easy to practice the great way, it is much better for the three of us to support each other than to face these things alone."

"Siyuan is right. None of the three of us are genius cultivators, nor do we have any powerful backgrounds. The fact that we have known each other and come this far is an opportunity for each of us.

To be honest, I don’t know how far we can go in the future, but for now, I still have great hope of helping you to successfully form the elixir. If the three of us can enjoy a few hundred years together, it will be worth our lives.”

"Well! Cultivating and achieving immortality is really too far away for us now. A few hundred years of leisurely life in a lifetime is almost enough."

After returning to Tuoyun Mountain, Song Qingyu, who had already prepared everything, began his retreat in the cave on the top of the mountain the next day to break through to the Jindan realm.

Huang Siyuan's practice of the "Hiding Yuan Technique" is still a little short of perfection, so it will take about half a year before she can start trying to retreat and form the pill.

In order to make it easier for the two girls to form their elixirs on Tuoyun Mountain, Song Qingming transferred Song Yuanli from Funiushan Mountain to Tuoyun Mountain, and asked him to help lead a team of cultivators to guard the bottom of the mountain to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in and disturbing Song Qingyu and the others' retreat and breakthrough.

After Song Qingyu went into seclusion, Song Qingming went to Guyang Mountain again and asked for an audience with Li Mufeng, the supreme elder of Xiaoyao Sect, to ask him for help in upgrading the grade of his "Phantom Boat".

In recent years, Li Mufeng has not been able to practice in seclusion for a long time because he has to take care of Bai Yuxian who is in seclusion to break through the Nascent Soul stage, so he happened to have some free time.

After hearing Song Qingming's purpose and request, Li Mufeng carefully checked his "Phantom Boat" and felt that there were no major problems, so he quickly agreed to it.

As a third-level top-grade weapon refiner, Li Mufeng is also the one with the highest weapon refinement level in the Xiaoyao Sect. Naturally, he has to help the sect's disciples refine and repair high-level magic weapons.

As long as Li Mufeng had the time to approach the many Jindan elders in the Xiaoyao Sect, he would generally not take the initiative to refuse them.

However, in order to ask this high-level equipment refiner to take action, in addition to providing the equipment refining materials needed to upgrade the flying boat, Song Qingming also needs to pay an additional few thousand spirit stones as compensation.

Song Qingming naturally had no objection to this. After handing the "Phantom Boat" and the third-level medium-grade water-attribute spiritual object to Li Mufeng, he paid the spirit stones on the spot.

Half a year later, the "Phantom Boat" was personally refined by Li Mufeng and did not disappoint Song Qingming. He upgraded its grade to the third-level intermediate grade as he wished, and its flying speed was also increased by about 20% compared to before.

With this third-level intermediate-grade flying boat, combined with the "Nine Palace Meteor Escape" that Song Qingming practiced, he would not be easily caught up by an ordinary late Jindan cultivator even if he met one.

After Song Qingming upgraded his "Phantom Boat", Huang Siyuan, who had already mastered the "Hiding Yuan Technique", soon began to retreat and try to break through the Golden Core Realm.

Like Song Qingyu, Huang Siyuan had made all the necessary preparations for her retreat this time. She had already mastered the "Arcaneness Technique" and had all the necessary spiritual objects for forming the elixir, including the "Millennium Spiritual Milk" prepared for her and Song Qingyu to form the elixir, which Song Qingming had given to her long ago.

Before Huang Si went into seclusion to form the elixir, Song Qingming spent a few days to explain to her some things she needed to pay attention to when forming the elixir.

After Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan formed their elixirs in seclusion, Song Qingming himself soon began to practice in seclusion.

It has been more than ten years since Song Qingming's cultivation broke through to the third level of the Golden Core realm. His cultivation and magic power have almost reached its peak. He only needs to hone it a little more and he can directly break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Golden Core realm.

If Song Qingyu successfully breaks through to the Golden Core realm during his retreat, Song Qingming will start planning to travel to Donghuang Country. During this period, he will also need to improve his own cultivation.

When you are out, you may encounter danger or other people's schemes at any time. Cultivation can improve your safety and provide more protection. No matter what, you must at least improve your cultivation to the middle stage of the Golden Core before traveling out, which will be safer.

This retreat lasted for almost two years. During this period, Song Qingming constantly honed his own magic power and finally improved his magic power to a relatively perfect level.

Seeing that his own condition had reached the best moment, Song Qingming raised his hand and took out a golden pill, swallowed it directly into his stomach, circulated the magic power in his body, and began to refine the pill in his dantian.

The pill that Song Qingming had just swallowed was called "Golden Flame Pill". It was a third-grade intermediate pill that could help early-stage Golden Core cultivators break through.

After returning from the "Tower of Babel", Chu Fengping asked Song Qingming for a third-level "Blood Dragon Fruit" to cooperate in making pills at Song Yuanhao's foundation-building ceremony.

As a result, Chu Fengping's performance in alchemy was unexpectedly poor that time, and he only successfully refined one pill, failing to even recover his costs.

This collaboration in alchemy not only consumed a lot of energy and spiritual medicine, but also ended up costing them several thousand spirit stones, which made Song Qingming quite depressed for a while.

Although he was a little unhappy, Song Qingming did not say much in front of Chu Fengping when he learned the result of the alchemy. Instead, he took the initiative to comfort the other party. Although Chu Fengping first proposed the matter of the two of them working together to refine the alchemy, Song Qingming himself also agreed to the other party. Since it was something that was agreed in advance, whether it was a loss or a profit, there was nothing to complain to the other party.

Not long after that, a third-grade intermediate spiritual medicine happened to mature in the sect's spiritual medicine garden. Chu Fengping started to refine the pill again. This time, he had better luck and made three pills at once.

In order to make up for the losses from the last time he cooperated with Song Qingming in refining the elixir, Chu Fengping specially left a pill for Song Qingming in advance after he succeeded in refining the elixir this time. This is the "Golden Flame Pill" that Song Qingming is taking now.

Although there are only a dozen or so Golden Core Elders in the Xiaoyao Sect, because the third-level and above elixirs refined by the sect are extremely rare, they are usually not enough for everyone to share.

A third-grade intermediate-quality elixir like the "Golden Flame Pill", once it enters the Good Deeds Pavilion, will basically not take long for it to be exchanged by the elders of the sect who have heard the news. Without special reasons, it is very difficult for Song Qingming, a guest elder of the sect, to have a chance to exchange it.

In recent years, Song Qingming has maintained a basically good relationship with many Jindan elders in the Xiaoyao Sect. Occasionally, he would go to Guyang Mountain to drink tea and discuss Taoism with Chu Fengping, Zhao Menglian, and Xu Ziyan, with whom he has a good relationship, and exchange experiences in cultivation.

If it weren't for Chu Fengping this time, Song Qingming would have never had the chance to exchange for this "Golden Flame Pill". For this reason, Song Qingming personally visited him and thanked him afterwards.

After taking the "Golden Flame Pill", a powerful spiritual power quickly emerged from Song Qingming's dantian. Song Qingming, who had already prepared, hurriedly mobilized his own magic power and began to quickly refine this powerful spiritual power.

Two months later, in a cave at the foot of the Tuoyun Mountain.

Song Yuanli, who was meditating on a stone platform, suddenly felt some subtle changes in the surrounding spiritual energy. He quickly opened his eyes, stood up and walked out of the cave.

Just a few steps out of the cave, a young man in green clothes ran towards him quickly.

"Uncle Eighteen, look at the top of the mountain!"

Seeing the person coming and pointing upward, Song Yuanli looked up at the sky and found that a colorful glow suddenly appeared in the sky near the top of the mountain.

"This is... Could it be that the ancestor is in the process of forming a pill?"

Seeing this sudden strange phenomenon in the world, Song Yuanli was a little confused, but a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Xuan Ting, go and inform Chang Yue and the others to guard all the entrances to the mountain and don't let anyone get close to here.

Also, notify the Jinyun Pavilion and ask them to activate the mountain protection formation outside. Do not let this strange phenomenon spread too far, otherwise once the demon kings know about it, it will probably cause unnecessary trouble."

After Song Yuanli gave instructions to Song Xuanting in front of him, he immediately hurried to the top of the mountain, wanting to inform Song Qingming about this matter.

When he arrived outside Song Qingming's cave and wanted to send a sound transmission talisman inside, he suddenly discovered that the surrounding spiritual energy was violently pouring into the cave where Song Qingming was in retreat.

"Could it be that this strange phenomenon in heaven and earth was not caused by Ancestor Qingyu?"

After sensing the strange situation before his eyes, Song Yuanli suddenly realized that Song Qingming seemed to have been in seclusion for almost two years. This strange phenomenon in the world was most likely caused by his breakthrough in realm.

After reaching the Golden Core realm, when a cultivator breaks through his cultivation level, certain strange phenomena in heaven and earth will be triggered. Especially for cultivators like Song Qingming who break through from the third level of Golden Core to the middle level of Golden Core, the scale of the strange phenomena in heaven and earth triggered will be relatively larger.

Even before Song Qingming went into seclusion and broke through, he had already set up a small formation restriction in the cave, trying to conceal the noise of his breakthrough as much as possible, but he still failed to completely prevent the colorful clouds from appearing in the sky.

However, the range where the glow appears is not large, and it can only be seen clearly near the top of Tuoyun Mountain.

Located on the mountainside, in the market town where many cultivators gathered, it was difficult to see the situation on the top of the mountain clearly due to the long distance and the thick clouds in the middle. Therefore, the only people who knew about the strange phenomena in the sky and earth on the top of the mountain at this time were Song Yuanli and others who had been waiting nearby.

After feeling the drastic changes in the surrounding spiritual energy, Song Yuanli immediately understood that Song Qingming in the cave had reached the critical moment of breaking through.

Seeing this, Song Yuanli hurriedly put away the sound transmission talisman in his hand and left the cave entrance, not daring to disturb him at this time.

Although the strange phenomenon in the sky lasted only a few hours and then gradually dissipated, Song Yuanli still stayed not far from Song Qingming's cave and waited for more than ten days before the door of Song Qingming's cave slowly opened.

Seeing Song Qingming walking out of the cave with a smile on his face, Song Yuanli hurriedly went up to him and bowed, saying loudly: "Congratulations to Seventh Uncle for breaking through the realm and making further progress in cultivation!"

Hearing this, Song Qingming smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I have been in seclusion these days, and I have made you work hard. Nothing happened on the mountain, right?"

"Don't worry, Uncle Seven. In the past two years, apart from a few low-level monster attacks, no high-level monsters have appeared near Tuoyun Mountain. Jinyun Pavilion is more than capable of handling these issues, and we haven't actually been there to help."

Song Qingming nodded slightly, and continued to ask: "Is there any movement in the place where Qingyu and Siyuan are in seclusion?"

"Reporting to Seventh Uncle, except for the colorful glow that appeared when you broke through a few days ago, the mountaintop has been peaceful for the past two years, and nothing unusual has been found."

"Well! Thank you for your hard work, Yuanli, you must have been guarding here for more than ten days. Go back and have a rest. I'll be here for you."

After bowing to Song Qingming, Song Yuanli immediately turned around, left the top of the mountain and returned to his cave.

After seeing him off, Song Qingming went to the places where Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan were in seclusion, checked them out, and found that there was nothing unusual in their places of seclusion, so he returned to his own cave with peace of mind. (End of this chapter)
