Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Ever since he broke through to the fourth level of the Golden Core, Song Qingming had exchanged some talisman-making materials from the sect's Good Deeds Pavilion and tried several times to draw third-level talismans, hoping to improve his talisman-making skills to the lower third level.

As a result, after several years, Song Qingming tried many times and spent tens of thousands of spirit stones on talisman-making materials, but he only successfully drew a third-level low-grade talisman, which was a huge loss.

The materials needed to make the third-level talisman require materials from third-level monsters and spiritual herbs and trees that are more than a thousand years old. These are relatively rare spiritual objects in the world of immortal cultivation in Wei State.

Even though he had accumulated a lot of spirit stones over the years, it was difficult for Song Qingming to obtain these high-level talisman-making materials at once. If he wanted to quickly improve his talisman-making skills and become a qualified third-level talisman maker, he needed to think of other ways.

After putting away the magic pen in his hand, Song Qingming, with a helpless look on his face, turned and walked towards the stone chamber next to the cave where the magic beasts were fed.

As soon as he reached the door of the stone chamber, dozens of "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" that had advanced to the second level flew out and landed on Song Qingming, making their whole bodies become colorful.

In the past two years, through the continuous feeding of "Ice Crystal Jade Liquid", Song Qingming has more than two hundred second-level "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" that have successfully advanced to the next level. Now, the combined power of these spiritual insects in his hands is almost enough to compete with an early Jindan cultivator.

After the spiritual insect "Golden Illusion Butterfly" advances to the second level, its attack ability is generally mainly based on its illusion magic. More than a few hundred of them can restrain a Jindan monk.

However, when the number of spirit insects reaches a certain level, the spiritual awareness of the operator becomes a huge test.

Song Qingming felt that although his spiritual sense was much stronger than that of the average cultivator of the same level, he could only control more than 300 second-level "Golden Illusion Butterflies" at the same time. If there were more, it would be difficult to exert their maximum power.

Therefore, after upgrading enough "Golden Fantasy Butterflies", Song Qingming gave the remaining "Ice Crystal Jade Liquid" to Huang Siyuan to help upgrade the group of spiritual insects she controlled.

Although the cost of cultivating this "Golden Fantasy Butterfly" is not low, when there are more of them and they are combined with stronger spiritual awareness, the combat effectiveness of the cultivators can be significantly improved.

Although Huang Siyuan's spiritual awareness is not strong enough now and she can only control dozens of level 2 "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" at most, it can still help her to be invincible among the foundation-building cultivators.

After knowing the power of the "Golden Fantasy Butterfly", Song Qingming had an idea and began to collect spiritual water similar to the "Ice Crystal Jade Liquid" everywhere.

As long as there is a way to cultivate more second-level "Golden Fantasy Butterflies", in the future, not only he and Huang Siyuan, but other family cultivators can also refer to this method to cultivate some "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" to help improve their own combat effectiveness.

However, the cost of training and advancing the "Golden Fantasy Butterfly" is really not low. The average Qi Refining cultivator certainly does not have too many resources to invest in this. Only cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage have the ability to cultivate these level 2 and above spiritual insects for a long time.

After checking the "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" on his body, Song Qingming put them all into the spirit beast bag with satisfaction, and then came to a pool in the middle of the stone chamber where a hint of cold air was coming out.

Just after stopping by the pool, Song Qingming stretched out his right hand and touched the water surface. Suddenly, small bubbles emerged from the bottom of the originally cold pool, and then the temperature of the water began to rise rapidly.

A moment later, a small red snake suddenly jumped out of the pool and crawled directly into Song Qingming's hand, raising its thumb-sized head and staring at Song Qingming.

"Good! You have finally advanced to the middle stage of Qi Refining. That's some progress!" Looking at the little red snake in front of him, Song Qingming praised it with a satisfied look on his face.

Hearing Song Qingming's words of praise, the little red snake suddenly changed color from the original crimson to dark blue, and crawled along his arm to his shoulder.

This little red snake was the "Ice and Fire Dragon" that helped Song Qingming hatch when the Fire Phoenix left two years ago.

After two years of meticulous training by Song Qingming, and after feeding it a lot of spiritual creatures, the depleted vitality in the body of the "Ice and Fire Dragon" finally slowly recovered, and it successfully advanced to the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Song Qingming felt somewhat relieved to see that he had finally achieved some results after spending a lot of spirit stones over the past two years.

After all, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" is a spiritual beast with a higher-level bloodline than the "Sky Fire Peng". If it is properly trained in the future, it will have a greater chance of advancing to the Golden Core stage than the "Sky Fire Peng". This is also what Song Qingming likes most.

Although the resources required to cultivate a spiritual beast in the early stage are also a considerable amount, Song Qingming is now a Jindan cultivator after all, and this amount of spiritual stones is nothing to him.

After taking out a low-level Soul-Feeding Pill and feeding it to the "Ice and Fire Dragon" on his shoulder, Song Qingming was about to meditate and practice for a while when a sound transmission note suddenly flew into his cave and interrupted his practice plan.

After picking up the sound transmission talisman and taking a look at it, Song Qingming's face showed a slight joy. He quickly put away the spirit beast on his body, walked towards the door, and directly opened the door of his cave.

A moment later, Huang Siyuan, who was dressed in white and had just come out of seclusion in the cave, walked into his cave quickly. "It looks like your injuries have almost recovered and you will be able to reach the Golden Core realm again in another four or five years!"

Huang Siyuan smiled slightly and said, "I have to thank you for getting the high-level healing pills from Senior Chu for me. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would take me another year or two to fully recover from my injuries."

After Huang Siyuan failed to form the elixir, like Song Qingming back then, her meridians were also seriously injured. She has been in seclusion in recent years to recuperate most of the time, and now she is finally recovering.

"You and I are people who support each other, so why should we be so polite? I haven't been back for so long, and I don't know how Qingyu's life treasure is being refined. It just so happens that you have come out of seclusion, so come with me to take a look!"

Huang Siyuan nodded slightly when she heard that, and the two of them walked out of the cave and took the "Phantom Boat" back to Qinghe County in less than an hour.

Just when they reached the top of Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming and the other man saw a ray of sword light flying towards them from afar. But a moment later, Song Qingyu, dressed in green, appeared in front of the "Phantom Boat" riding a golden flying sword.

Song Qingming, who was standing on the flying boat, saw Song Qingyu's figure and immediately became happy. He asked directly, "Qingyu, when did you come out of seclusion? Why didn't you send a message to Tuoyun Mountain to inform us?"

Song Qingyu looked at the two of them with a smile on his face and said, "I just came out of seclusion yesterday, and was about to go to Tuoyun Mountain to look for you guys, but I didn't expect that you, Seventh Brother, would come back first."

"Seeing you are so happy, could it be that your natal magic weapon has been refined? Could it be this flying sword?" After taking a look at the golden flying sword under Song Qingyu's feet, Song Qingming asked again with a hint of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Song Qingyu waved her hand lightly, and the golden flying sword under her feet split into three, turning into three golden lights and flying in front of her.

"These three flying swords are my life-saving magic weapons that I have refined. They are called the Mysterious Dark Golden Light Swords. They can be controlled separately or combined together to fight the enemy. If used as flying magic weapons, their speed is not much slower than that of an ordinary third-level flying boat.

I refined it after more than a year of seclusion according to the method of refining the natal magic weapon that came with the sword inheritance."

After hearing Song Qingyu's explanation, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan's attention were attracted by the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" in front of her.

The aura and pressure of Song Qingyu's natal flying sword magic weapon is obviously a powerful thing, no worse than Song Qingming's natal magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror". If we only talk about offensive ability, I am afraid that the power of "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" is even better.

Moreover, Song Qingyu's natal flying sword magic weapon can continue to advance and improve with the improvement of his cultivation in the future. Its power is expected to surpass Song Qingming's "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".

Song Qingming was not surprised by this. After all, the fighting skills of sword cultivators were supposed to be more powerful than those of ordinary cultivators. It was also something he expected that Song Qingyu's natal magic weapon would be stronger than his "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".

After the three of them chatted for a few words outside the mountain, they soon entered Funiu Mountain together and came to Huixian Tower on the top of the mountain.

In order to congratulate Song Qingyu on refining her own magic weapon and Huang Siyuan on recovering from her injuries, Song Qingming was very generous this time. He asked someone to go to the family's treasury to take out a jar of spiritual wine that he had treasured for a long time, and asked several family elders to celebrate for her in Huixian Pavilion.

A few days later, in the Song family's meeting hall, Song Qingming summoned several foundation-building elders of the family to gather together and listened carefully to their reports on various aspects of the family.

In addition to Song Yuanfang, Song Yuanxue, Song Changze, and Song Yuanhao, there was another foundation-building cultivator present. It was Song Yuanqian, who had just successfully built his foundation more than half a year ago and had just stabilized his cultivation.

Song Changwen, who was in seclusion at about the same time as her to reach the foundation-building stage, had slightly worse luck. After some efforts, he still failed to reach the foundation-building stage and became the second person in the Song family who took the foundation-building pill but failed to successfully build the foundation.

Song Qingming was not surprised by this result. After all, the two people who were building their foundation this time were not as talented as Song Yuanhao and others who had built their foundation before. For the Song family, it was already a very good result that one of them could successfully build their foundation!
After Song Yuanfang and the others finished reporting on their current affairs, Song Qingming spoke again:
"Qingyu's life magic weapon has been refined, and the family's treasure house is almost ready. I want to wait for half a year and then go out to the East China Sea to cultivate immortals.

Firstly, he wanted to buy some foundation-building pills for the family and train a few more foundation-building monks for the family. Secondly, he wanted to see if he could find a five-element pill-forming spiritual object for Siyuan.

If there is anything you need that you can't find right away, you can tell me directly and I'll help you find it."

"Seventh Uncle, can you take me with you to have a look when the time comes?" Hearing that Song Qingming was about to go to the East China Sea to cultivate immortals, Song Yuanhao, who also wanted to go out for a walk, asked excitedly.

Just as Song Qingming was about to speak, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the conference room, and a Qi Refining cultivator holding a red sound transmission note suddenly rushed in.

"Ancestor! The sect has an urgent message." (End of this chapter)
