Qinghe Immortal Clan.

In response to Huang Siyuan's question, a hint of excitement slowly emerged on Song Qingming's face, and he nodded slightly to acknowledge his thoughts.

In order to get Huang Siyuan to agree to join the "Tian Dan League", Ye Qiuyuan has put a lot of thought into it. Not only did he agree to let them exchange for spiritual objects for forming the elixir, but in the end he even claimed that he was willing to lend the spiritual spring on the mountain to Huang Siyuan for use in her retreat to form the elixir. It can be seen that he has indeed shown a lot of sincerity.

However, the other party did this not only because Huang Siyuan had seen the problem with the pill before and had some unique talent in alchemy, but mainly because he saw the huge potential in Huang Siyuan.

Huang Siyuan's cultivation has now reached the edge of the Jindan stage. Having previously attempted to reach the Jindan stage, her cultivation foundation is much more solid than that of an average ninth-level foundation-building cultivator.

In addition, she has the full support of two Jindan cultivators, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, by her side. If nothing unexpected happens, Huang Siyuan will be able to successfully form a golden elixir sooner or later.

With Huang Siyuan's talent in alchemy, as long as she can successfully form a golden elixir, it shouldn't take long for her to become a third-level alchemist. As a veteran golden elixir cultivator who has practiced Taoism for hundreds of years, it is naturally not difficult for Ye Qiuyuan to think of these things that may happen in the near future.

If you are just a second-level alchemist in the foundation-building stage, even if you have some talent in alchemy, the people of the "Tian Dan League" may not necessarily look up to you. After all, they are the alchemy holy land of the East China Sea cultivation world, and there will definitely be no shortage of low-level talents in alchemy.

But if it is a cultivator who has a great hope of advancing to the third-level alchemist, then the situation will be very different. It is definitely worth it for the "Tian Dan League" to spend these spiritual objects to win him over.

In the world of immortal cultivation, there are very few cultivators who can improve their alchemy skills to the third level. Even in a large Nascent Soul sect like Xiaoyao Sect with tens of thousands of cultivators, there are seventy to eighty alchemists above the second level, but there are only three alchemists above the third level, including the Golden Core Elder Chu Fengping.

Almost every one of them is the sect’s most important and valuable talent, and Xiaoyao Sect takes very good care of them. Except for major events concerning the sect’s fate, they rarely let these people take risks for the sect.

The condition that Ye Qiuyuan offered to Song Qingming and others in the "Tian Dan Pavilion" might seem a little strange if the target was an ordinary second-level mid-grade alchemist, but it was not so outrageous for Huang Siyuan.

The "Tian Dan League" now only needs to spend some spiritual objects to pull her in, but if Huang Siyuan succeeds in forming an elixir in the future and her alchemy skills are upgraded to level three, if they want to impress Huang Siyuan and let her join the "Tian Dan League" smoothly, it may not be something that the five elements elixir spiritual objects can do.

Now, the most important thing for Song Qingming is the issue of Huang Siyuan's pill formation.

Huang Siyuan, who has already attempted to reach the Golden Core realm once, has a cultivation base far beyond that of an average ninth-level foundation-building cultivator. In addition, she has practiced the "Cang Yuan Technique" taught by Song Qingming. As long as she can successfully find a five-element spiritual object that can form a golden core, her chances of forming a golden core this time will not be too low.

If Huang Siyuan could obtain the spiritual spring provided by the "Tian Dan League" and use it as her cave for retreat and pill-forming, then her chances of successfully forming the pill would increase slightly. This was also the thing that Song Qingming was most excited about.

When Song Qingming succeeded in forming the elixir, he was in seclusion in a cave with a spiritual spring in the Floating Cloud Mountains. Naturally, he knew that the spiritual spring would help cultivators form the elixir.

However, in the entire Wei State, apart from the cave where he successfully retreated deep in the Floating Cloud Mountains, there are only two spiritual springs on the Guyang Mountain.

One of these two springs is located in the cave where the Grand Elder Li Mufeng practices. It is specially used for this Nascent Soul cultivator to practice all year round. Except for a few people like the Sect Leader Yao Qianshu, no one else in the Xiaoyao Sect has the chance to get close to there.

The other one can only be used in turn by the many Jindan elders of Xiaoyao Sect when they are in seclusion to break through the realm. Now it is being used by Bai Yuxian to retreat to the Yuanying realm.

Even for the foundation-building disciples within the sect who are in seclusion to form their elixirs, very few have the opportunity to use the Spirit Spring Cave for seclusion, let alone Huang Siyuan, a cultivator from a vassal family of the sect.

Now the "Tian Dan League" is willing to directly exchange the five elements of spiritual objects for them to form the elixir, and also agrees to lend the Lingji Spring Cave to Huang Siyuan for her retreat to form the elixir. This has indeed touched Song Qingming, who is determined to support Huang Siyuan in forming the elixir.

Although joining the "Tian Dan League" as an external alchemist would require Huang Siyuan to devote some of her energy to helping them make pills in the future, which might reduce some of her help to the family, Song Qingming did not seem to mind it too much.

After all, there won't be too many opportunities that come for no reason in the world of cultivating immortals. If they want to successfully obtain a five-element elixir spiritual object here, they will have to pay some corresponding price no matter what.

Fortunately, over the years, the Song family has trained many low-level alchemists such as Song Yuanqian, who can basically meet the family's needs in refining first-level pills, and Huang Siyuan does not need to be distracted too much.

As for pills above level two, the Song family currently lacks pill formulas and spiritual medicines due to insufficient foundation, and Huang Siyuan only occasionally has the opportunity to gather the required spiritual medicines to start refining pills.

Most of the Song family's level 2 and above elixirs still need to be purchased from Xiaoyao Sect or other places. Even if Huang Siyuan does not have much time to refine elixirs, it will not have much impact on the family at present.

Moreover, as long as Huang Siyuan succeeds in forming the elixir, she will definitely be able to break through her alchemy skills and become a third-level alchemist in the future. By then, as long as the family is willing to spend some effort, it will not be difficult to train another second-level alchemist.

Seeing that the two girls were staring at him and did not speak directly, Song Qingming, who had already prepared himself, smiled and replied:
"I do have this idea, but Siyuan, you don't have to mind it too much. The key to this matter is whether you are willing to do it.

Don't worry! Even if we can't get this Jindan spiritual object from the Tiandan League, we will find a way to find other Jindan spiritual objects for you. On this point, you must trust me and Qingyu, and don't put too much pressure on yourself. "

"Well! Of course I believe you, but I am indeed very interested in alchemy. If the Tiandan League is really able to help me quickly improve my alchemy skills, I can still consider it." Huang Siyuan said with a hint of relief on her face.

Song Qingming nodded slightly and responded: "After all, the Tiandan League is the largest alchemy alliance in the East China Sea Xiuxian world. The alchemy inheritance in it should be the best in the surrounding area. Joining the Tiandan League will definitely help you improve your alchemy level. There is no doubt about that."

"Sister-in-law! If you really like the art of alchemy, you can consider joining the Tiandan League first. After all, their requirements for peripheral cultivators are not very high now, and it will not have much impact on us.

Moreover, the Tiandan League has abundant medicinal resources. It will be very beneficial for us to establish a relationship with them in the future. At least the family will not have to worry about the lack of medicinal materials all the time."

What Song Qingyu said did make some sense. It had only been a few decades since the Song family was promoted to the Golden Core Immortal Clan. The family's current foundation was still shallow. It would not be possible to be self-sufficient in elixirs and spiritual objects overnight. It would still take a lot of time to accumulate family foundation.

If Huang Siyuan is willing to join the "Tian Dan League", with her relationship, the Song family will have an important channel to stably exchange the spiritual objects needed by the family, which will definitely be beneficial for the future development of the Song family.

Seeing that Song Qingyu also agreed with her joining the "Tian Dan League", Huang Siyuan smiled and said, "Since you all have no objection, then I will agree to them, but I can't let them get away with it so easily."

After Song Qingming and the other two discussed the matter, they calmed down and waited in "Tian Dan City" for two days. On the third day, Song Qingming brought Huang Siyuan and the other two to "Tian Dan Pavilion" again.

As soon as they entered the room, the guy at the door recognized Song Qingming and his companions, and quickly led them to the second floor. Then he quickly went to inform Ye Qiuyuan who was still studying a pill formula upstairs.

Upon hearing the news that Song Qingming and others had arrived, Ye Qiuyuan was very happy. He dropped the pill recipe in his hand and rushed over immediately.

"Fellow Daoist Song, do you have any good news to tell me when you come here today?" As soon as he entered the door, Ye Qiuyuan bowed slightly and asked with an expectant smile.

Song Qingming nodded slightly and said, "Haha! Fellow Daoist Ye guessed correctly. I have discussed this with my wife these past few days, and she is willing to join your alliance. However, there are some things we are not very clear about, and we need to confirm with you before we can agree to this matter."

"If you have any questions, please feel free to speak up. I have been a member of the Tiandan League for nearly four hundred years, and I know most of the league's affairs very well. You can rest assured about this."

Next, Huang Siyuan directly asked in detail about the rules that the outer alchemists of the "Tian Dan League" needed to abide by, and the specific number of alchemy tasks she needed to complete each year after joining.

Ye Qiuyuan patiently answered Huang Siyuan's questions one by one, and promised that as long as she joined the "Tian Dan League" now, he would not assign her too many alchemy tasks before she formed the elixir, so that she could focus on preparing for the elixir formation.

When Ye Qiuyuan heard Huang Siyuan take the initiative to ask whether he could sell them two more Foundation Establishment Pills this time, he did not hesitate too much and agreed generously on the spot, which made Song Qingming and others very happy.

A few days later, under the guidance of Elder Ye Qiuyuan, Huang Siyuan went to the headquarters of the "Tian Dan League" in the city again, and successfully received a jade token representing her identity. She officially joined the "Tian Dan League" and became an external member of this alchemy organization.

Afterwards, Song Qingming got what he wanted. He used a top-grade spirit stone in his hand and several second-level spirit medicines to successfully exchange for a five-element pill-forming spirit object "Heavenly Fire Mysterious Pearl" from the "Tian Dan Pavilion".

Although Huang Siyuan's injuries had long been healed, it had been less than five years since her last failure in forming a pill. It would take several more years for her to cultivate the "hidden essence technique" in her body to reach perfection. Therefore, Song Qingming and his companions agreed with Ye Qiuyuan to send Huang Siyuan to "Tian Dan City" for a retreat and forming a pill three years later. The "Tian Dan League" did not raise any objections to this.

During this trip to "Tian Dan City", Song Qingming and his companions have obtained the biggest goal of this trip, the "Heavenly Fire Mysterious Pearl", and have also successfully purchased four foundation-building pills, as well as many other elixirs and spiritual objects that many families lack. This means that they have successfully completed the purpose of this trip to the East China Sea.

Seeing that most of their matters had been settled, Song Qingming and the other two discussed for a while before leaving "Tiandan City", planning to accompany Song Qingyu to the nearby "Baihua Palace" and visit her good friend He Mengxin whom she had been thinking about all the way.

Wanhu Island, where the Baihua Palace is located, is not too far from "Tiandan City" in a straight line. If the three of them take the "Phantom Boat" and travel at full speed, they can reach there in two or three days.

Wanhu Island is a relatively large island in the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world. Its area is much larger than that of "Tiandan City". Because there are lakes everywhere on the island, it is named the Island of Wanhu.

Although there are many mortals and immortal cultivation families on Wanhu Island, there is only one large immortal cultivation sect on the island, which is the famous Nascent Soul Sect "Baihua Palace" in the East China Sea immortal cultivation world.

Although the "Baihua Palace" is a sect that mainly recruits female disciples, it has many high-level cultivators and two Nascent Soul Supreme Elders. The overall strength of the sect is always ranked among the top ten in the entire East China Sea cultivation world.

On this day, on an unnamed island thousands of miles east of Wanhu Island, several female disciples wearing clothes from the "Baihua Palace" were hiding behind a huge rock on the east side of the island, carefully looking at a rocky beach hundreds of feet in front of them.

After a while, not far in front of the beach, a wave suddenly appeared on the originally calm sea surface, and then a huge black head with two short horns quickly emerged from the water.

The black head that emerged from the water glanced around and slowly sank into the sea. After a long while, it emerged again from the water closer to the beach. It looked around again and appeared to be very cautious.

Seeing the black head appear from afar, a woman in white who had just established her foundation and whose cultivation level was only at the second level of foundation building, hiding behind a rock, spoke softly with excitement:

"Senior Sister Yu, here we come! This mature ice grass is really effective. It really attracted the black-scaled beast here."

"Well! Don't act rashly. Wait until it comes over. This monster is very cunning. Don't be careless, otherwise it will be a waste of time!"

After hearing the words of the woman in white next to her, an older woman in palace dress in front of the group immediately spoke up to calm her companions who were all a little excited.

These Baihua Palace disciples are all cultivators who have reached the foundation-building stage. The woman in palace dress who just spoke has the highest cultivation level, and is already a ninth-level cultivator of the foundation-building stage like Huang Siyuan.

Although their cultivation levels are similar, for a ninth-level foundation-building cultivator like her who has just broken through and has not yet reached the golden elixir realm, her mana is still inferior to Huang Siyuan's.

If the two were to fight in a martial arts contest, the woman in palace dress would most likely not be able to defeat Huang Siyuan, who had been practicing to the ninth level of foundation building for many years.

Because it is close to the sea, there are countless monsters and spiritual creatures in the sea. The disciples of the "Baihua Palace", like most cultivators in the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world, often go out in an organized manner to hunt monsters and obtain resources for cultivation.

Just as these "Bai Hua Palace" disciples were looking nervous, the black head had already arrived at the beach, slowly revealing its huge figure.

This monster named "Black Scale Beast" is about ten feet long and covered with black scales. Although it has a fish body, it has four thick legs and can move quickly on land.

Although it doesn't look very good, this "black-scaled beast" is actually a genuine second-level top-grade monster, and its cultivation has reached the peak of the late foundation-building stage, which is not much different from the ninth-level foundation-building cultivators among human cultivators.

The "Black Scaled Beast" had already reached the beach. After taking a look around, it suddenly accelerated and quickly pounced towards a blue spiritual grass standing upright in the corner of the beach. It soon came to the side of the pearl spiritual grass.

Just as the "Black Scaled Beast" happily swallowed the second-grade low-grade Ice Grass, a white mist suddenly appeared out of nowhere around it, quickly blurring its vision.

The "Black Scaled Beast" sensed something was wrong and immediately turned around and jumped into the air, trying to escape back to the sea not far away. However, a blue figure suddenly attacked from the side, and the flying sword in his hand shot straight towards the fragile abdomen of the "Black Scaled Beast", stopping it in mid-air.

Seeing someone trying to stop it, the "Black Scaled Beast" seemed very angry. It swung its black head and spit out four or five sharp water arrows, which attacked the woman in blue palace dress not far away.

Upon seeing this, the woman in blue waved her hand and immediately placed two purple light shields in front of her, easily blocking the opponent's attack. Then she shouted loudly to a place not far away:
"Quick, activate the formation to trap it!"

Following the order given by the blue-clothed woman who was fighting with the "Black Scale Beast" in mid-air, a white transparent shield slowly rose in the white mist around the beach, directly covering them who were fighting in mid-air.

Seeing that the formation had been activated and successfully trapped the monster in front of her, the woman in blue suddenly showed joy on her face and felt relieved. She waved her hand and took out a round bead magic weapon, and killed the "black-scaled beast" not far away.

Not long after the fight started here, two more disciples from the "Bai Hua Palace" appeared not far away. After activating the formation, they put down the flags in their hands, took out their respective magic weapons and rushed into the formation.

The cultivation level of this "black-scaled beast" is not much different from that of the woman in blue. Its magical power has been weakened a lot when fighting on land. It is unable to defeat the woman in blue alone. Facing the siege of three foundation-building monks from the Hundred Flowers Palace, it soon fell in the formation dying.

"Haha! We've been guarding this guy for more than half a month, and we finally succeeded!" After successfully killing the "Black Scale Beast", the four Baihua disciples all showed happy expressions on their faces.

Although there are many monsters in the sea, the vast ocean is boundless and you can't just go out and encounter monsters. Especially in coastal areas like here, which are close to the continent, the number of monsters is obviously much less than that in the dangerous open sea.

The four of them had been out hunting monsters for nearly a month. In the beginning, their luck was not good and they only captured some first-level monsters. After hiding here for more than half a month, their luck finally turned and they hunted down a second-level top-quality monster.

The leading woman in blue palace attire stepped forward to confirm that the "black-scaled beast" had no breath, then smiled and turned to the other three people beside her and said, "We have been out for so long, it's almost time for us to go back. Quickly pack up this monster and leave here!"

After the blue-clothed woman finished speaking, she took out her flying sword first and began to cut up the "black-scaled beast" in front of her. The others also surrounded it with excitement and began to collect the more valuable fur, claws, horns, blood and other monster materials from the monster.

The materials on this second-grade top-grade "Black Scale Beast" in front of you can be exchanged for about three thousand spirit stones in the market.

After deducting the spiritual herbs used to lure monsters and the spiritual stones lost in setting up the formation, if they were divided among several people, each person could get about six or seven hundred spiritual stones on average. For these foundation-building cultivators, this was a good income.

About a quarter of an hour later, the four people on the beach collected the bodies of the "Black Scale Beast" and were preparing to leave the island.

A loud noise suddenly came from the sea not far from the beach. After a burst of splashing water, a "black-scaled beast" suddenly appeared on the sea.
This "black-scaled beast" was about twice as big as the one they had just killed. After it roared angrily at the front from a distance of several hundred feet, a terrifying pressure immediately came towards the four people standing on the beach.

"This is not good! It looks like a golden elixir monster. Junior Sister Lin, please activate the formation!"

After seeing the figure of the "black-scaled beast", the blue-clothed woman in the lead was suddenly horrified. After shouting to the white-clothed woman who was frightened and stunned, she immediately took out a golden sound transmission note from her body and cast a spell.

After hearing the reminder from the woman in blue, the four people from "Bai Hua Palace" hurriedly activated the large formation that had just been used to hunt monsters and hid directly in the formation.

The reason why they did not choose to flee directly in different directions was mainly because the magical powers of the "Black Scaled Beast" in the sea were much stronger than on land.

If the four of them hid on the island and relied on the formation "Hundred Flowers Palace" they could hold on for a while, and perhaps wait for rescue from the sect. If they rashly fled to the sea, facing such a powerful Jindan stage monster, they would probably die faster.

After seeing the large formation ahead light up, the "black-scaled beast" roared angrily again, and then quickly ran towards the island. In just a moment, it had crossed hundreds of feet across the sea and arrived on the island.

Then the "Black Scale Beast" spat out a half-foot-sized black ball from its mouth, which quickly hit the formation in front of it, and immediately a shocking sound was heard. (End of this chapter)
