Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 661: Deducing the Method, Senior Sister Li (asking for monthly votes)

Seeing that Senior Sister Li looked a little strange, Liu Yang nodded and continued, "Well! Junior Brother Song and I have only met once, but I heard Senior Brother Four mention him a few times, and it seems that he came from the Floating Cloud Mountains in the east of the continent.

Speaking of this Junior Brother Song, he is indeed a prodigy. He only has the aptitude of four spiritual roots, but he has cultivated from the Qi Refining Stage to the sixth level of the Golden Core in just two hundred years. I think his talent is no worse than the rest of us.”

"What? He also came from the Floating Cloud Mountains. What's the name of this Junior Brother Song?"

When the black-clothed woman heard Liu Yang talking about the new junior brother Song, who also came from the immortal cultivation world of the Floating Cloud Mountains, a familiar figure emerged in her mind, making her slightly excited as she spoke.

"It can't be such a coincidence!"

The woman in black was none other than Li Xuanyi, the good friend whom Song Qingming had escorted all the way back to Nanzhou from Qingzhou in the north of "Donghuang Country".

In addition to being a cultivator from the Nanzhou Yuanying family, the Li family of Liuyun Mountain, Li Xuanyi is actually also a disciple of Lingxu Taoist of the "Taixu Sect", but few people outside know her identity.

She had been seriously injured while traveling before. After returning to Nanzhou with Song Qingming, she stayed in the family to recuperate. Only until recently when her injuries were healed did she return to "Taixu Gate" to visit her master and fellow disciples.

Seeing Li Xuanyi looking at him seriously, Liu Yang thought for a moment before answering, "It seems to be Song Qingming. This should be the name. I also heard it from my fourth senior brother."

"Song Qingming!"

When Li Xuanyi heard Liu Yang say the name he had been expecting, he was excited, but also showed a hint of displeasure.

Song Qingming had promised to look for her, but now five years have passed and he still hasn't shown up. She didn't expect that he was actually in the "Taixu Gate" not far from her.

No wonder this guy was a little curious when he saw the green aura on his body. It turned out that he was also the person chosen by the master to inherit the throne.

But this guy really didn't trust me at all. He had already seen the "Yuxuan Sutra" skills in me, but he didn't even tell me about this for more than a year on the way back to Nanzhou from Qingzhou.

At the beginning, Song Qingming said that a friend of his had practiced a similar technique, but now it seems that he was lying to her.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyi felt a little annoyed and wanted to go to Song Qingming to question him on the spot.

But then he changed his mind and realized that the other party was still in the "Taixu Palace" to comprehend the martial arts. If he went there now, he would definitely not be able to see him. After suppressing his emotions, Li Xuanyi turned around and left the stone pavilion to find his master, Taoist Lingxu.

Seeing that his senior sister Li's expression suddenly changed after hearing the name Song Qingming, Liu Yang guessed that there might be some story between the two of them.

However, seeing that Li Xuanyi did not say anything and turned around and left the stone pavilion, he did not ask any questions. Instead, he turned back to his original position with a smile, sat down and began his daily meditation practice.

After passing through the stone pavilion and arriving outside the Taoist Lingxu's cave, Li Xuanyi's expression changed and then returned to calm. He then cast a spell and sent a sound transmission note into the cave.

After a while, a somewhat kind voice was heard from the cave.

"Girl, you've been gone for more than ten years. You finally remembered to come back to see your master. Come in quickly!"

Seeing this, Li Xuanyi hurriedly walked into the Lingxu Taoist's cave, first stepped forward and bowed to him, then said with a somewhat aggrieved look:
"Master! You have wronged me. I was traveling this time and was ambushed by someone. I almost couldn't come back. I came to see you right after I recovered from my injury."

Hearing what Li Xuanyi said, Taoist Lingxu, who was sitting at the stone table making tea, suddenly changed his gaze and quickly swept his spiritual sense over Li Xuanyi.

"You even used up the sword energy I left for you to protect yourself. It seems like you're going to run into a lot of trouble this time. I've reminded you to be careful when traveling and not to get into trouble. Now you know how serious it is!
Being able to come back alive is a blessing from heaven. You must be more careful when you go out in the future, and don't lose your life in vain!" Taoist Lingxu said, and sighed slightly.

After hearing his master's teachings, Li Xuanyi curled his lips slightly, without saying anything more, he stepped forward, picked up the kettle on the table, and poured a cup of spiritual tea for Taoist Lingxu.

"Master, I have found a lot of delicious teas for you during my travels this time. I will make you a pot of tea to try."

"Oh, wait!"

Seeing Li Xuanyi pick up the teapot and was about to pour out the remaining tea in it, Taoist Lingxu quickly reached out to stop her.

"I just made this pot of tea. If you want to make me tea, you can just get another one. It would be such a waste if you just poured it out like this."

"Where did Master get this spiritual tea? Why do you like it so much?" Seeing how Taoist Lingxu looked at the spiritual tea with such fondness, Li Xuanyi was a little surprised and asked quickly.

Taoist Lingxu saw this and shook his head, saying, "This is a spiritual tea that someone brought from the Floating Cloud Mountains. Although it is not a top-grade spiritual tea, it is not easy to get. We should still cherish it."

"It was brought from the Floating Cloud Mountains. Could it be that it was given by the new Junior Brother Song? I didn't expect that he would be so filial to you. No wonder you, Master, became partial to him so quickly!"

"Hey! Why does your tone sound a little strange today? Are you already acquainted with that boy?"

Taoist Lingxu also knew his disciple very well. When he heard something was wrong in Li Xuanyi's tone, he immediately noticed something.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyi did not hide anything and told him everything about how he met Song Qingming at the "Tian Kui Sect" auction, and how they later went treasure hunting together and were hunted by Duan Longshan and others.

Hearing that Li Xuanyi and Song Qingming had such an adventurous experience of meeting each other, Taoist Lingxu couldn't help but sigh at the fate between the two.

"I didn't expect this guy to be so cautious. He didn't even ask you a single question. No wonder he was able to find his way here. Not to mention his experience traveling outside, he is much better than you.

How come even the Yuanying Sect in Qingzhou is so unruly now? Old Monster Jin and his people don't care about it. It seems that we have to remind them when we have a chance, so as not to let these people ruin the reputation of Donghuang Country."

Taoist Lingxu chuckled and said this, then picked up the cup of spiritual tea that Li Xuanyi had just brewed on the table, took a sip, and then showed a look of satisfaction.

"Hmm! It's really good tea. You are still thinking about your master. You haven't forgotten me even after you left."

Hearing the compliment from Taoist Lingxu, Li Xuanyi smiled with some pride and said, "Master is so good to me, if I don't miss you, who else would? I hope you won't be bribed by others with some cheap tea leaves in the future."

"Haha! That's definitely not the case. Even if that guy comprehends the technique and comes out, he probably won't stay. You don't have to be jealous of him."

"Who would be jealous of him? Master, what you said is really unpleasant to hear."
-
Three days later, in the cave of "Taixu Palace".

Song Qingming sat cross-legged, with bursts of light green spiritual light constantly emerging from his body. After emerging from his body, these spiritual lights circled around his body for several times, and then slowly returned to Song Qingming's body.

"Five Elements Divine Light Mirror!"

As Song Qingming whispered to himself, five colorful mirrors appeared beside Song Qingming. Then, several golden rays of light shot out from the mirrors and crossed each other, forming a golden cage beside Song Qingming.

Immediately afterwards, Song Qingming waved his hand, and a black-robed man who was about the same height as him immediately appeared beside him, holding a third-grade black and white flying sword in his hand.

"Jinfeng, try out the power of my newly created magic circle!"

After hearing Song Qingming's order, the expressionless "Jinfeng" moved and flew into the air. He swung the magic weapon "Mobai Sword" in his hand with all his strength, and a powerful sword light was drawn, rushing straight towards the golden light array that had just been formed by the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".

After Song Qingming's hard work over the years, and the cleansing of "Flame Spirit Water", "Golden Wind"'s cultivation has almost reached the peak of the second level of Golden Core, and is not far from the third level of Golden Core.

At this moment, he was holding a third-level mid-grade "Mobai Sword" and exerting his full strength to strike, which was no less powerful than that of a third-level Jindan cultivator.

If it were in the past, when facing an attack of this level, Song Qingming would have to dodge a few times first and would not dare to take it head-on.

However, at this moment, Song Qingming, facing the sword light released by "Golden Wind", was full of confidence and calm, and did not seem to care too much about the power of this attack.

As the white sword light just flew in front of the golden magic circle, a green light suddenly appeared above the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", flew out and turned into a giant hand, grabbing the white light that had just attacked.

After a while, the white spiritual light turned into spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the green giant hand and dissipated in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the green giant hand in front of the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" turned into several golden lights, which flew over from all directions and immediately surrounded the "Golden Wind", making it stand still and unable to move.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming's face lit up with joy. He nodded with satisfaction, stood up and put away the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" that was surrounding him.

After four years of continuous comprehension, Song Qingming has deduced a set of subsequent exercises of the "Yuxuan Sutra" from the stone tablet of the "Taixu Palace". This set of exercises deduced by Song Qingming is not based on the original "Yuxuan Sutra", but a new set of exercises deduced based on his experience of using green spiritual light for so many years.

This new set of skills is more flexible and versatile in the use of green spiritual light. One can directly refine one's own magic power into the magic weapon at any time, instead of just covering the surface of the magic weapon as before.

In this way, the power of the magic weapon that has been strengthened from the inside is greatly improved compared to before. It can almost increase the power of the original third-level intermediate magic weapon to the power of a third-level top-grade magic weapon.

Moreover, after integrating his own magic power, Song Qingming's ability to control magic weapons has been greatly enhanced. In addition, his spiritual awareness is already stronger than that of ordinary cultivators of the same level. This will allow him to control multiple magic weapons at the same time when fighting against the enemy in the future without reducing their power too much.

However, at present, Song Qingming has only deduced this set of skills to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. He has not deduced it directly to the Nascent Soul Stage like Taoist Lingxu and others.

Recently, Song Qingming, based on his newly developed technique, tried to integrate the green spiritual light that he had cultivated for many years into his own natal magic weapon, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror". After such a long period of trial and error, he finally succeeded today.

As expected, he was not disappointed. Now, when the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" is used in conjunction with a set of spells deduced from Song Qingming's new skills, its defensive power is no less than that of a powerful third-grade top-grade defensive magic weapon.

Otherwise, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" would not have been able to deal with the powerful attack of "Golden Wind" so easily.

Although the martial arts he deduced has only reached the middle stage of the Golden Core, the power of this set of martial arts is still obviously much higher than the "Five Elements Profound Gang Jue" that Song Qingming is currently practicing.

Over the years, because he was concentrating on deducing the martial arts from the "Blue Stone Tablet", Song Qingming had long forgotten the time when he entered the "Taixu Palace".

After successfully enhancing the power of his life-saving magic weapon, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", Song Qingming withdrew his attention from deducing the exercises.

At this moment, he didn't know how much time had passed. After thinking about it, he gave up on continuing to deduce the skills and chose to take the initiative to walk out of "Taixu Palace".

Deducing a new set of skills is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Even if Song Qingming chooses to stay in the cave, he is not sure that he can deduce the skills to the Nascent Soul stage.

Besides, it has been such a long time since he left Floating Cloud Mountains, and Song Qingming is worried about his relatives and friends far away in Wei State. If he really delays his return, it will be a loss for him.

After opening the forbidden magic circle inside and walking out of the "Taixu Palace", Song Qingming stood outside and felt the long-lost sunshine.

Just as Song Qingming was about to get up and leave, a beam of light suddenly flew over and landed in front of him. It was Liu Yang, who had brought him to see Taoist Lingxu.

"Congratulations to Junior Brother Song for coming out of retreat today. Seeing how good his face is, it seems that he has gained a lot from this retreat!"

Seeing Liu Yang, Song Qingming hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Haha! Senior Brother Liu, please don't flatter me. I have been in seclusion for so long and finally figured out the technique. Now I don't know how much time has passed outside. I am really ashamed."

"Junior Brother Song, it has been exactly four years since you went into seclusion. It is not too long. Among the many fellow disciples who went in to comprehend the "Taixu Stele" like you, you are not the last one to come out. Otherwise, it would not be me who came to pick you up, but the master himself."

"Four years have passed. This retreat period is really quite long. Thank you, Senior Brother Liu, for your guidance." Song Qingming breathed a sigh of relief when he learned from Liu Yang that he had been in retreat for four years.

Although it has been nearly twenty years since he came to the immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Kingdom", there is still some time before the once-in-a-century beast tide in the Floating Cloud Mountains begins, so Song Qingming does not need to be too anxious to return to Wei Kingdom.

"Junior Brother Song, since you have come out of retreat, please follow me to see the master. He is already waiting for you in the cave."

After talking to Song Qingming for a few words, Liu Yang waved his hand and took out a flying boat, then jumped on it with Song Qingming, and then turned into a beam of light and left.

"Senior Brother Liu, didn't you say there were other senior brothers in the sect? Why haven't I seen any other senior brothers except you and Senior Brother Zheng?"

After standing on the flying boat, looking at the silent Yuxuan Mountain all around, Song Qingming asked again with some curiosity.

Hearing this, Liu Yang nodded slightly and said, "Junior Brother Song, you don't know that most of our brothers and sisters in Taixu Sect actually came here from outside like you.

Although they are all disciples of the "Taixu Sect", they all have their own identities outside and rarely come to the mountain except when summoned by their master.

Now, besides us, the only people left on the mountain are Master's few closed disciples. Some of the brothers are still in seclusion, while others have gone out to gain experience. Therefore, it is a bit unfortunate that you cannot see them."

"Oh! So that's how it is. Thank you, Senior Brother Liu, for telling me. It's a pity that it's not easy for me to come here. I don't know if I will have the chance to see them again in the future."

Hearing Song Qingming sigh, Liu Yang smiled and nodded, saying: "Now that you have comprehended the Taixu Stele, it will be easy to recognize fellow disciples when you meet them outside in the future. Junior Brother Song, don't be discouraged because of this. We will meet again if we are destined to."

"Brother Liu is right. I am grateful for your advice!"

While the two were talking, the flying boat controlled by Liu Yang had already arrived at the flat ground not far from the entrance of Lingxu Taoist's cave. After putting Song Qingming down, Liu Yang walked to the stone pavilion and stopped immediately, then took out a white sound transmission note from his body and handed it to Song Qingming.

"Junior Brother Song, since you already know the way, I won't escort you there. Once you are outside, just use this sound transmission talisman and Master will know immediately."

Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately bowed slightly to Liu Yang, then turned and walked towards the location of Taoist Lingxu's cave.

After arriving outside the cave, Song Qingming moved the magic power in his hand, and a white sound transmission note automatically flew into the mountain wall in front. After a while, the restriction in front fluctuated, and a figure that surprised him walked out of the cave.

"Junior Brother Song, I haven't seen you for many years, right?"

"Friend Li, why are you here?"

Seeing Li Xuanyi in black clothes looking at him with a smile, Song Qingming couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

"You asked me why I am here, so why don't you guess, Junior Brother Song?" Seeing Song Qingming's face full of shock and surprise, Li Xuanyi calmly asked him another question.

“It turns out that I was not wrong at the beginning, Fellow Daoist Li is also a disciple of Taixu Sect.

Alas! It's all my fault for being too cautious at the beginning, which led to the misunderstanding. I hope Fellow Daoist Li will not be offended! "After recalling the past in his mind, Song Qingming couldn't help but sigh, and then shook his head with a self-deprecating look.

Back in Qingzhou, when Song Qingming first saw the "Xuanguan Armor" that automatically appeared on Li Xuanyi's body, Song Qingming once suspected that she might have also practiced the "Yuxuan Sutra".

But later, when Li Xuanyi showed him the green spiritual light she had cultivated, Song Qingming noticed something wrong with it. He mistakenly thought he had made a mistake and did not continue to ask about it.

At that time, Song Qingming had not been to "Taixu Sect", and he was not clear about the truth about the subsequent exercises of "Yuxuan Sutra".

Now that I think about it, the reason why the green aura on Li Xuanyi's body is somewhat different from the "Yuxuan Sutra" that Song Qingming originally practiced.

It should be because after she comprehended the "Taixu Stone Tablet" and deduced the subsequent exercises, the spiritual energy in her body underwent some different changes, which made Song Qingming admit his mistake at that time.

"Humph! I'm not as stingy as you think. But since you already understand, Junior Brother Song, why don't you change your address? I joined the sect much earlier than you and have been on the mountain for so long. You can't be ignorant of this little bit of etiquette!"

Seeing that Song Qingming took the initiative to admit his mistake and apologize to her, although Li Xuanyi said that she no longer cared about the misunderstanding of that year, she still gave Song Qingming a meaningful reminder.

"Uh! Well, Senior Sister Li is polite." Seeing Li Xuanyi deliberately reminding him, Song Qingming, who understood what she meant, showed a bit of helplessness on his face. He immediately changed his words and called out to her seriously.

Although he knew that Li Xuanyi was several decades younger than him, he had indeed entered the sect earlier than himself. In the world of immortal cultivation, the relationship between master and disciple has always been determined based on the order in which they entered the sect, regardless of their cultivation level or age.

Even though Song Qingming was somewhat reluctant to accept it in his heart, he still had to respectfully call Li Xuanyi "Senior Sister".

After hearing Song Qingming's respectful change of words, Li Xuanyi felt extremely happy. He smiled at Song Qingming with satisfaction and said:
"Junior Brother Song, I came here in a hurry this time and didn't prepare any gifts. This talisman will be your gift for joining the sect. Don't worry, I will take care of you and will never let you suffer any loss here in the future.

The master is still waiting for you inside, come with me!" After saying that, Li Xuanyi happily turned around and walked into the cave.

Song Qingming, who was standing at the door, looked at a second-grade, low-quality talisman in his hand. He smiled and shook his head, then carefully put it away and followed him into the cave.

Taoist Lingxu, who was leaning on a chair in the cave, sipping tea and reading a book, saw Song Qingming and Li Xuanyi walk in. He slowly put away the bamboo slips in his hand and stood up.

"It seems that the spiritual energy in your body has undergone significant changes. You must have gained something. Tell me what technique you have deduced!"
