Qinghe Immortal Clan.

After talking with Song Qingming for a while on the bed, Yao Qianshu called in a young man in his twenties who was waiting outside and asked him to bring over a wooden box that was stored on a stone table on one side of the cave.

"Junior Brother Song, I have given all the spiritual objects on me to Junior Sister Bai, and asked her to take them to the Good Deeds Pavilion to distribute them to other elders in the sect. There is also a spiritual talisman in it, which Mu Ling accidentally found when he was looking for something a few days ago.

Since you just happened to be here today, I will give this talisman to you!" After Yao Qianshu finished speaking, he asked the young man who took care of him to hand the wooden box to Song Qingming.

Seeing this, Song Qingming waved his hand and said, "Master, I came here to visit you today. How can I accept such a great gift from you? This is absolutely unacceptable. Please don't embarrass me."

"Haha! Junior Brother Song, please don't be offended. This child is a descendant of my clan's bloodline and has quite good talent. If there is a chance in the future, I hope you can help him. This gift is my thanks to you in advance."

After hearing what Yao Qianshu said, Song Qingming shifted his attention to the descendant of Yao Qianshu beside him. After his spiritual sense swept over him lightly, Song Qingming couldn't help but nodded slightly.

This descendant of Yao Qianshu looks to be in his thirties or forties, but his cultivation has already reached the second level of foundation building. It is estimated that he should be an extremely talented dual-spiritual root cultivator, and there is some hope that he can reach the Golden Core realm in the future.

By presenting himself with a precious third-level talisman, Yao Qianshu also wanted Song Qingming to help him at the critical moment of his Dan formation in the future.

Song Qingming understood Yao Qianshu's intention, nodded and agreed without any further hesitation. He directly took the wooden box from the young man's hand and put it into his own storage magic tool.

"Thank you, Master Brother, for the treasure. Qingming will remember this!"

Seeing this, Yao Qianshu nodded with some relief.

“Junior Brother Song, although you are not particularly talented among your fellow disciples, the fact that you have come this far shows that you are indeed a person of opportunity. Your future path will definitely not be worse than mine.

In my life, I had a smooth journey in the early stage, but I lacked some luck when I was breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. I have failed to live up to the expectations of Master Li and the sect. If not for this, the sect might not have to endure the frequent invasions of northern monsters today.

I hope that Junior Sister Bai and you can break through the Nascent Soul stage in the future, help Senior Uncle Li resolve the threat posed by the monsters in the north to our sect, and carry forward our Xiaoyao Sect."

"Senior Sister Bai's cultivation talent far exceeds ours, and she is also a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots. In the future, she will definitely be able to form a Nascent Soul and help the sect stabilize the unfavorable situation in the north. Senior Brother, rest assured, we will definitely follow and assist Senior Sister Bai and Uncle Li with all our strength."

"Well! I hope it's true as you said."

".."

After chatting with Yao Qianshu for a while, seeing that he looked a little tired, Song Qingming stood up, said goodbye and left him, going directly to the sect's Good Deeds Pavilion.

After Li Mufeng gave the order to start transporting supplies to the front line, the sect's Good Deeds Pavilion suddenly became busy. Beams of light flew here and there, and hundreds of disciples at the door were constantly moving and counting various spiritual objects. It was a very lively scene.

After Song Qingming arrived at the Shangong Pavilion, he asked someone before finding Xu Ziyan on the second floor who was busy counting spiritual objects.

Is a monster invasion imminent? Most of the sect’s Jindan elders have already begun rushing to the front lines to prepare for the upcoming monster invasion.

Now, on Guyang Mountain, besides the sect leader Bai Yuxian and Chen Xuanxin who is in seclusion, there is only Xu Ziyan, the Jindan elder who is in charge of the sect's miscellaneous affairs and the allocation of supplies to the front line.

When Song Qingming left, Xu Ziyan was only at the second level of the Golden Core. Now, more than 20 years later, her cultivation has successfully reached the peak of the third level of the Golden Core. She is only one step away from breaking through to the middle level of the Golden Core.

Although Xu Ziyan's cultivation speed after breaking through the Jindan stage is not particularly fast among the many Jindan elders in Xiaoyao Sect, it can be considered average. If he practices smoothly, he should have the opportunity to cultivate to the late Jindan stage like Li Wutong.

The two had not seen each other for many years since Song Qingming went to travel in the immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Country". Now that they had just met, they couldn't help but exchange some pleasantries. Song Qingming slowly opened his mouth and told her the purpose of his trip.

Hearing that Song Qingming was looking for some materials for setting up the formation, Xu Ziyan personally took him to the third floor of the Shangong Pavilion and took out two sets of second-level top-grade formations and gave them to him.

The Xiaoyao Sect has been established for thousands of years. Although there are not many magic arrays above level three in the sect, there is no shortage of level two magic arrays. When faced with this kind of monster riot that occurs once every hundred years, the Shangong Pavilion will naturally not be stingy with these spiritual objects that can help deal with the monsters.

"Senior Brother Song, Qingyu has already had someone set up a third-level mountain protection formation at Jinshanfang. These two formations should be enough.

I will leave some supplies here for emergency use. If Jinshanfang is short of anything, please send a message to let Senior Brother Song know. I will try my best to raise the supplies.”

After registering the two second-level top-grade magic arrays in her hands, Xu Ziyan immediately handed them to Song Qingming.

After taking over the magic circle, Song Qingming smiled and said, "This monster riot is a little different from the past. I'm afraid we need Junior Sister Xu to take care of it. I feel relieved with your words."

After getting the formation he wanted, Song Qingming did not stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Xu Ziyan, he quickly left the sect's Good Deeds Pavilion and returned directly to Funiu Mountain.

Not long after Song Qingming left the Shangong Pavilion, a voice message flew into Li Mufeng's cave and fell into the hands of Bai Yuxian who was sitting next to him.

After Bai Yuxian opened the voice transmission and took a look, Li Mufeng, who was sipping tea on the other side, immediately asked, "But has the Good Deeds Pavilion prepared everything?"

"Yes! Junior Sister Xu also said that Junior Brother Song just went to the Shangong Pavilion to get two sets of second-level top-grade magic arrays, and has now left the Shangong Pavilion." Bai Yuxian responded and replied softly.

Li Mufeng smiled and nodded when he heard this. Without saying anything more, he picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip.

After Bai Yuxian finished speaking, she stood up and bowed slightly to Li Mufeng, saying, "Uncle Li, it's getting late. I still have to escort the supplies to Guiyunfang. I'll take my leave now!"

Seeing this, Li Mufeng also put down the teacup in his hand, sighed and said: "Yuxian, I was originally planning to let you retreat and break through the Nascent Soul this time.

But something unexpected happened at Jinyu Mountain, and I am a little worried that the incident with Qianshu will happen to you again. That’s why I want to wait until the sect has survived this disaster before letting you retreat and condense your Nascent Soul. Don’t have too many thoughts and concerns in your mind. "

A few years ago, Li Mufeng went to the "East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World" again, and found a way to obtain a spiritual item for Bai Yuxian to form a baby. He could have arranged for her to go into seclusion to form a baby.

But at that time, there was already chaos caused by monsters nearby. Even if Bai Yuxian were to retreat immediately to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, it would take at least 10 to 20 years to see results.

Furthermore, if Bai Yuxian fails to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, she might end up like Yao Qianshu did back then, and thus be unable to fully participate in the sect's battle against the monsters.

Bai Yuxian is currently the person with the highest cultivation level in the sect except for the supreme elder Li Mufeng. If she is unable to participate in the battle, it will be equivalent to the loss of a very important late Jindan combat force for the Xiaoyao Sect, which will inevitably affect the entire battlefield situation.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, after much deliberation, Li Mufeng decided not to let Bai Yuxian go into seclusion for now, but to wait until the sect has overcome the turmoil caused by the monsters before letting her go into seclusion to try to condense her Nascent Soul.

"Uncle Li, don't worry. I understand your intention. At this time when the monsters are causing chaos, compared with the safety of the sect, it doesn't matter whether I go into seclusion earlier or later to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Back then, the head brother sacrificed his personal path for the sake of the overall situation. Now as the head, I should also know the seriousness of this matter."

Hearing Bai Yuxian's understanding, Li Mufeng said with relief:

"Well! It's good that you think so, but your safety is also related to the future of the sect. You must not be careless. When you go to the front line, you must pay more attention to safety and don't take risks easily."

"Thank you, Master Li, for the reminder. I'll set off first!" Bai Yuxian nodded with a smile, then turned around and left Li Mufeng's cave.
-
Two days later, in the meeting hall on the top of Songjia Mountain.

The three Jindan ancestors of the Song family and more than a dozen foundation-building elders of the family have gathered together and sat in the conference room.

The clan leader Song Qingming, who was sitting at the top, was very pleased after taking a look at the many family foundation-building cultivators present. He did not expect that in the twenty years since he was away, the cultivation of these younger generations of the family had undergone such a great change.

When Song Qingming left the family, the Song family had only eight foundation-building cultivators in addition to their three Jindan ancestors.

In the more than twenty years since he left his family to travel in the immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Country", three younger generations of the Song family have successfully established their foundation. Now the number of foundation-building cultivators in the family has grown to eleven.

It has only been a little over a hundred years since Song Qingming successfully formed the golden elixir and the Song family was promoted to the Golden Elixir Immortal Clan. The speed of the Song family's development has exceeded the expectations of everyone around them.

The overall strength of the Song family now is no worse than that of the Ma family, the "Iron Immortal Castle", which was the number one immortal cultivation family in Wei country back then.

Among the eleven foundation-building cultivators in the family, Song Yuanli has the highest level of cultivation. He has already cultivated to the peak of the eighth level of foundation-building and is only one step away from breaking through to the ninth level. He is also the only late-stage foundation-building cultivator in the Song family.

Next are the five people whose cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation building: Song Changze, Song Yuanhao, Song Yuanfang, Song Yuanxue and Song Xuanting.

Among them, Song Yuanhao and Song Changze have the highest cultivation, having already cultivated to the sixth level of foundation building. Although Song Yuanfang and Song Yuanxue have established their foundation earlier than the previous two, their cultivation talent is a little worse than theirs, and their cultivation is only at the fifth level of foundation building. The last cultivator who has cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building is Song Xuanting, the first cultivator in the "Xuan" generation of the family to successfully establish his foundation.

Song Xuanting had just broken through to the fourth level of foundation building not long ago. Among the dozen or so foundation building cultivators of the Song family, his cultivation speed was relatively fast, although not the best.

The remaining five people, Song Yuanqian, Huang Leqing, Song Changlin, Song Xuanqing and Song Xuanfeng, have not been building their foundation for a long time, and their cultivation is still at the initial stage of foundation building.

In addition to these Foundation Establishment cultivators, the number of Qi Refining cultivators in the Song family has also increased significantly in the past twenty years. Now, the family has more than four hundred Qi Refining cultivators.

Including the external cultivators that the family has recruited in the "Chiyanfang" over the years, the total number of cultivators in the Song family has reached nearly 500.

Although the current Song family cannot compare with those large Jindan families in the world of immortal cultivation that have been operating for more than hundreds of years, it is no longer too weak among the many Jindan forces around Wei State.

Now Huang Siyuan's alchemy skills have been upgraded to the third-grade lower level. Relying on the relationship with the "Tian Dan League", she can obtain some alchemy materials stably. The Song family now has a way to refine the "Foundation Building Pill" by themselves.

As long as there is a stable development environment, and the main ingredients of the foundation-building pills planted in the family's spiritual medicine garden gradually mature, the number of foundation-building cultivators in the family will surely continue to grow steadily in the future.

After scanning the crowd below, Song Qingming spoke calmly:
"I'm sure you all know that the monsters from the northern border have begun to move south. According to the information provided by the sect, the monster army will be at the gates of the city in about two or three months.

This once-in-a-century monster riot not only concerns the lives of hundreds of millions of people in Weiguo, but also the fate of our entire family.

I have gathered you all here today to discuss with you how the family should deal with this monster riot next."

“Seventh Uncle, back then we were able to kill the White Lion Demon King and defend Jinshanfang with only you. Now that our family has three ancestors, our strength is no longer comparable to what it was a hundred years ago.

This time the demon beast army dares to invade, we will definitely make them come without return. "As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, Song Yuanli, who was sitting next to him, immediately spoke up to boost the morale of everyone in the hall.

"The family has trained us for many years, and it is time for us to show our abilities. Please rest assured, elders, we will never let you down."

"Brother Eighteen is right. Not only has our family's strength greatly increased, but our vassal families are also stronger than before. I don't think we will need the sect's help this time. Our own strength is enough to repel the monster army from Jinshanfang."

".!"

As one of the few family foundation-building elders present who had participated in the battle of Jinshanfang, Song Yuanli's words were immediately agreed upon by everyone.

At that time, the family had only Song Qingming, a Jindan cultivator who had just formed a golden elixir. Relying on the assistance of many immortal cultivation families in Jiangling County, the Song family successfully blocked the army of thousands of monsters under the command of the White Lion Demon King in "Jinshanfang".

Although the two sides fought for more than half a year, the "Jinshanfang" side did not fall into a big disadvantage in terms of overall strength, and was still able to fight back and forth with the army of monsters led by the "White Lion Demon King".

Finally, they relied on the special forces sent by the sect and designed a plan to kill the "White Master Demon King" in one fell swoop. After winning a great victory, they immediately repelled the army of monsters that besieged "Jinshanfang".

From the surface, the family's current strength has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the past, and Song Qingming's cultivation has also reached the peak of the sixth level of Golden Core.

If they were facing a demon king of average strength like the "White Lion Demon King" just like last time, there would be no need for the two family ancestors, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, to take action. Song Qingming alone would be enough to lead everyone to repel the invading army of demon beasts.

Seeing that many younger generations of the family present were full of confidence in this monster riot, Song Qingming was still satisfied and did not directly speak to undermine everyone's confidence.

Only after everyone had discussed it for a while did Song Qingyu, who was sitting nearby, speak up to remind everyone and told the many family foundation-building elders present about the incident that had occurred near Jinyu Mountain.

Upon hearing that the owner of Jinyu Mountain had been changed, and that this time the monster riot was different from the previous ones, Song Yuanli and others, who had just looked relaxed, suddenly had a solemn look on their faces.

Seeing that the hall suddenly became quiet, Song Qingming quickly stood up and said, "Although this monster riot is different from the past, Jinshanfang is relatively remote after all, and it is definitely not the focus of the monster army's attack.

I estimate that the monsters coming towards us this time will not have much changes compared to the past.

However, the pressure faced by other places may be much greater than before. By then, even if we can repel the army of monsters in Jinshanfang, we must be prepared to support other places at any time.

This battle may not end as easily as in the past, and I hope you all will be more mentally prepared and not become careless because of a temporary victory."

Song Qingming had just tried to appease the people present when Song Qingyu, who was standing beside him, took over the conversation with a serious face and reminded them, "What Seventh Brother just said is all the important information we just received from the sect.

The reason why we informed you in advance is to prepare you mentally. Please do not spread this matter from here, otherwise it will affect the morale of the army in the upcoming battle with the monsters. We will also deal with it according to the clan rules. Please remember this."

"Please obey the order of the ancestor!"

Hearing Song Qingyu's loud reminder, the many foundation-building elders of the Song family standing below immediately responded in unison.

Next, Song Qingming spoke to everyone and arranged some specific matters before ending the family meeting on how to deal with the monster.

After Song Qingming, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan left the meeting room, they returned to the Huixian Pavilion on the top of the mountain.

Just after sitting down, Song Qingyu suddenly asked Song Qingming who was standing beside him.

"Seventh Brother! Jinshanfang is almost ready now. You just came back not long ago, so why don't you stay at home and rest for a while. I will take them there tomorrow.

Don't worry, as long as I find any traces of the monster army in the north of the market, I will immediately send a message to inform my family in advance."

Facing Song Qingyu's initiative, Song Qingming shook his head slightly, then smiled and said to him:
“Qingyu, I see that your cultivation has reached a bottleneck. This time in the Donghuang Country’s Immortal Cultivation World, I just happened to get a pill that can help you break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Golden Core.

You should go back and prepare first, and take advantage of the time to go into seclusion and see if you can successfully break through.

There are still a few months left before the monster rebellion, which is enough time for you to retreat and break through. Don't worry about the other trivial matters of the family for now, I will take care of them."

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out a purple jade bottle that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Song Qingyu.

"Seventh brother! You want me to go into seclusion and break through now?" After taking the purple jade bottle, Song Qingyu opened it and took a look at it, then asked with some confusion.

"Well! I'm afraid this monster riot will not end so quickly. If you can improve your strength now, it will definitely be of great help to us in the future.

Not only do you want to go into seclusion, but I also brought back a few foundation-building pills this time. Tomorrow, after Yuan Fang has selected suitable clan members, the family will arrange for them to go into seclusion and build their foundation first.

I don't think the battle at Jinshanfang will be very serious. With us here, there will be no major problems in the short term. You can just rest assured and retreat. Once you have a breakthrough in your cultivation, you will be able to help the battle more in the future."

Song Qingming has been traveling in the immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Country" in recent years, and has purchased many elixirs and spiritual objects that are useful to his family. The elixir he just gave to Song Qingyu was purchased through the relationship with the "Juxian League" when he was still in "Xianyuan City".

After understanding what Song Qingming meant, Song Qingyu didn't say anything more. He took the pill in his hand, said hello to Song Qingming and the others, then said goodbye and left to prepare for his retreat.

A few days later, under Song Qingming's arrangement, in addition to Song Qingyu, the two foundation-building cultivators in the family, Song Changze and Song Yuanqian, who were about to break through their cultivation, and the three ninth-level Qi-refining cultivators selected by the family to be suitable for breaking through to the foundation-building realm, all went into seclusion one after another and began to try to break through their own cultivation realm.

Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, together with many cultivators from the family, went to "Jinshanfang" to take charge.

Under the urging of the Song family, many cultivators from Pingyang and Qinghe counties began to gradually gather towards the northern frontier "Jinshanfang", and the atmosphere of war began to envelope the entire northern Wei State.

In order to prevent any mistakes, after Song Qingming arrived at "Jinshanfang", he personally brought several second-level formation masters to inspect the mountain protection formation of the market town. He also brought two second-level top-grade formations from the sect's Good Deeds Pavilion and arranged them in front of the north side of the market town to strengthen the frontal defense force.

Last time, under the leadership of the Song family, the monks of "Jinshanfang" were the first to repel the attack of the monsters. Facing this monster riot, most of the monks in the market now also appear to be full of confidence.

Just as the monks of "Jinshanfang" were stepping up preparations for war, the army of monsters that had gathered in the north had finally arrived near the front battlefield after several months of long journey.

One day, a red spiritual light flew from the north and soon arrived over the "Jinshanfang". After reaching here, the red light suddenly turned and passed through the Fangshi Mountain Protection Formation, and landed directly in a hall in the middle of the Fangshi. (End of this chapter)
