Qinghe Immortal Clan.

The few magic weapons Huang Siyuan had before were only of the third-level lower grade. A few years ago, at the "Dengyun Pavilion" exchange meeting, she obtained a third-level mid-grade defensive magic weapon.

However, apart from his life-saving magic weapon "Purple Gold Seal", he currently has no other powerful offensive magic weapons.

This third-grade intermediate-quality golden flying knife just happened to be more in line with the "Jinyuan Jue" martial arts she practiced. After Huang Siyuan obtained this magic weapon, her ability to fight with others was further enhanced.

Huang Siyuan, who received the flying knife magic weapon, immediately took it in her hand and started playing with it. She liked this new magic weapon very much.

After giving this magic weapon to Huang Siyuan, Song Qingming took out 20,000 spirit stones from the spirit stones and gave them to her, then collected the remaining spirit stones and other spiritual objects on the table.

This time when Song Qingming went to rescue He Mengxin, he originally wanted to explore the situation and lend a hand, but he never thought that he could turn a disaster into a blessing and make a "windfall".

Song Qingming was naturally very satisfied with this. With such a large amount of extra income from spirit stones, it at least helped Song Qingming solve a lot of troubles in his cultivation.

After putting away the spiritual objects on the table, Song Qingming saw that Huang Siyuan had gone to the side to remove the mark left by the previous owner of the flying knife magic weapon and was about to start refining this magic weapon. He then took out the formation plates and flags that he had specially collected before.

Having experienced the power of the "Yin Yang Eight Extremes Formation" in Yulong Mountain, Song Qingming was also very interested in this formation and wanted to try whether there was any way to repair it.

This "Yin Yang Eight Extremes Formation" was made using a fourth-level formation disk. Although its grade was far from a fourth-level formation, its power was much stronger than that of an ordinary third-level top-grade formation.

If Xia Mo had not used the Soul Transformation Talisman to forcibly increase her strength and split the formation from the inside that day, it would not have been so easy for Song Qingming and the others to get out.

Song Qingming now only has the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation" with outstanding defense, and lacks a powerful formation like the "Yin Yang Eight Extremes Formation" that has the ability to trap enemies and attack.

If he could repair this "Yin Yang Eight Extremes Formation", it would undoubtedly enhance Song Qingming's strength.

Moreover, a complete "Yin Yang Eight Extremes Formation" is much more powerful than the "Tian Gang Five Elements Formation" in Song Qingming's hand. In terms of value, it is probably higher than all the other magic weapons in the white-haired old man's possession combined. It is definitely worth Song Qingming's effort to try.

After carefully inspecting the damaged formation, it was discovered that the damage to the entire formation was indeed serious. There were large holes on several formation flags, and it was difficult to repair them, so they had to be re-refined.

The most important formation plate, as Xia Mo said, requires at least two high-level materials with water and fire attributes to be found before Song Qingming can completely repair it.

The formation flag is not too difficult. The materials needed for refining are not too rare. Song Qingming can go to the Xiaoyao Sect's Good Deeds Pavilion and spend some good deeds to find the needed materials and refine it.

The trouble lies with the array plate. The third-grade top-quality materials with water and fire attributes are not only very expensive, but also very rare. If Song Qingming wants to collect these materials, he will probably have to spend some effort.

However, Xia Mo had already agreed to exchange a piece of "Water Cloud Stone" for Song Qingming, so all that was left was to find another piece of third-grade top-quality material with fire attribute.

Although this material is extremely rare, it is not one of those precious spiritual objects above level four that are hard to come by. As long as you are patient and spend more time, you can always find a way to find it.

Fortunately, Song Qingming is not in a hurry to use this formation for anything now. If he can't find it in Floating Cloud Mountains, he can still go to the East China Sea to cultivate immortals.

If that doesn't work, I will find a chance to inquire about it when I go to the immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Country" in the future. Now I have plenty of spirit stones, as well as many high-level spiritual medicines and magic weapons. As long as I have time, there is no need to worry about not being able to exchange for this thing.

After studying the "Yin Yang Eight Extremes Formation" in the cave for several days, Song Qingming became so fascinated that he forgot the time.

When he remembered to walk out of the cave and wanted to go to "Chiyanfang" to see off He Mengxin and Xia Mo, he learned from Song Yuanfang that He Mengxin and the others had already left and returned to the East China Sea.

Song Qingming couldn't help feeling a little regretful when he realized that he had wasted time because he was obsessed with the formation and was unable to see them off in person.

This time, he was able to successfully obtain so many spiritual objects and the damaged "Yin Yang Baji Formation" at the risk of his life. In the final analysis, it was all thanks to Xia Mo.

If she had not helped to kill the white-haired old man in the end, it would not have been difficult for Song Qingming to repel the opponent alone, but it would have been absolutely difficult to stop the opponent so easily.

Upon learning that He Mengxin and the others had already left Qinghe County, Song Qingming could only return to his cave with some regret. He would wait until he went to the East China Sea next time to apologize to them in person.

After Xia Mo and others left, Qinghe County welcomed a relatively peaceful time again, and the entire Song family was in a state of steady and slow development.

Apart from occasionally caring about the collection of spirit stone mines in "Shuangfeng Mountain", Song Qingming rarely asked about other trivial matters of the family, and basically left them to Song Yuanfang and others to handle.

He and Huang Siyuan hid on the top of the mountain to practice hard, and occasionally they would go down the mountain together to enjoy the rare peaceful days.

Because it is located in the northern part of the immortal cultivation world of the Floating Cloud Mountains, the Wei State is threatened by numerous monsters everywhere. The same is true for Qinghe County, which is adjacent to the "Yunwu Mountain".

In the more than two hundred years since Song Qingming went up the mountain to practice, the entire Qinghe County has not been very peaceful most of the time. It is often invaded by large armies of monsters or caused trouble by low-level demon cultivators.

Peaceful days like now without any unrest have always been rare. Seeing that the entire Qinghe County has become more and more prosperous after the Song family took over, Song Qingming was very pleased.

After practicing for a lifetime, Song Qingming has no idea how far he can go in the future or whether he will have the chance to achieve the Nascent Soul stage.

However, he was able to develop his family to the present and protect the peace in Qinghe County for hundreds of years, which can be regarded as a contribution to all human beings in this area, and his life was not in vain.

After He Mengxin and the others left, two years passed quickly.

On this day, Song Yuanfang, who was handling miscellaneous matters in the family's "meeting room", suddenly received a letter from outside and sent by the family's law enforcement team.

Song Yuanfang received the letter, opened it and took a careful look at it. When he saw the contents of the letter, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

After giving instructions to several younger family members who were assisting him in handling affairs, Song Yuanfang stood up, took the letter and left the "meeting room", and walked directly to the top of the mountain.

On an open space on the top of Funiushan Mountain, a dragon snake with an ice-blue body and two small horns on its head was staring at a giant gray bird not far in front of it, and from time to time it opened its mouth and spit out cold air to provoke the other party.

This giant gray bird is huge in size, more than ten feet tall when standing on the ground. It is a ferocious second-level monster whose cultivation has reached the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.

The blue dragon snake that provoked it was not big, only four or five feet long, but the demonic aura it exuded was stronger than that of the giant bird, and it had already reached the late foundation-building stage.

Seeing that the blue dragon snake had been provoking it constantly, the gray bird, who had been patiently enduring for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore. It opened its mouth and let out a long roar, then spread its huge wings and fanned out a ray of lightning towards the location of the dragon snake.

Although its own cultivation is not as good as the other party, the giant gray bird is of the Sky Peng bloodline and is naturally able to restrain all kinds of snakes and monsters. It does not show any fear towards the blue dragon snake in front of it.

Seeing this, the blue dragon snake calmly rolled up its body and jumped off the ground into the air before the lightning arrived to avoid the opponent's attack.

Then it blew out a huge gust of icy wind at the giant gray bird that was flying towards it, freezing the giant gray bird in mid-air so much that it trembled continuously and almost fell from the sky.

However, although the icy wind was strong, it came and went quickly. As the icy wind slowly disappeared in the air, the giant gray bird immediately returned to normal, raised its huge claws, stepped forward and grabbed the blue dragon snake, trying to pin it under its feet.

However, a ball of scorching flames suddenly emerged from the dragon snake's body, scalding the gray giant bird so much that it quickly opened its sharp claws and threw it from mid-air into the bamboo forest nearby.

Just above a huge rock not far from where the dragon snake and the giant bird were fighting, Song Qingming, shirtless, was sitting upright on the rock, trying to control the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" to absorb the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth from all around.

Seeing that the "Ice and Fire Dragon" and the "Sky Fire Peng" beside him had started fighting again at some point, he smiled helplessly, then immediately withdrew his magic power and stood up from the boulder.

"Why do you two always fight? Can't you just stay still and let me practice in peace for a while?"

Hearing Song Qingming's rebuke, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" and "Sky Fire Peng", who had just been fighting fiercely, hurriedly rushed to Song Qingming's front.

"Sky Fire Peng" has stayed in the Song family for many years and has been guarding the clan and has become the family's guardian beast. However, its cultivation progress has been average over the years. After more than a hundred years of breaking through the foundation-building stage, it is still one step away from the late foundation-building stage.

Although the "Ice and Fire Dragon" had followed Song Qingming for a shorter time, because its bloodline was stronger and Song Qingming had taken good care of it over the years, its cultivation level improved very quickly. After the monster turmoil ended, it had already broken through to the late stage of foundation building.

In addition, in recent years, Song Qingming has fed it a lot of the mysterious white spiritual water that he brought out from the secret realm, which has greatly improved its cultivation. Song Qingming estimated that at this rate, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" will not be far from trying to form a pill.

After scolding the two spirit beasts in front of him, Song Qingming took out a small bottle of white spirit water from his body, gave a part to the "Sky Fire Peng", and gave the rest to the "Ice Fire Dragon".

Seeing the white spiritual water that he loved to devour so much, the eyes of the "Ice and Fire Dragon" were instantly filled with greed.

After using its tail to roll up its own portion of spiritual water, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" tasted it while keeping its eyes on the "Sky Fire Peng" who was also swallowing spiritual water not far away, as if it wanted to snatch the other's portion as well. "I've given you so much, why are you still not satisfied? If you continue to be so unruly, I'll punish you by not giving you spiritual water for two months next time."

Hearing Song Qingming's reminder from the side, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" suddenly retracted its head and began to concentrate on enjoying the delicacy in its hand.

Although Song Qingming's two spirit beasts both swallowed a lot of white spirit water, the cultivation level of the "Ice and Fire Dragon" improved much faster than that of the "Sky Fire Peng" after swallowing and refining it.

This also proves once again that the effect of this thing on different types of monsters is indeed very different after use.

Although the cultivation level of "Sky Fire Peng" improved relatively slowly, after swallowing the spiritual water, it became like the black bear demon king who died at the hands of Song Qingming. Its body was obviously much stronger than before, so it could be said that the spiritual water that Song Qingming fed it was not wasted.

In addition, the "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" on Song Qingming's body have made obvious progress in their cultivation in the past few years since they devoured the white spiritual water. Most of them have been promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, and many have broken through to the late stage of foundation building.

After Song Qingming's cultivation broke through to the late Jindan stage, the number of "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" he could command and mobilize at one time reached nearly a thousand.

With so many second-level "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" gathered in one place, the overall strength they can exert now should not be underestimated. Even an ordinary mid-stage Jindan cultivator can go up and fight against them.

Seeing that these spiritual waters were so useful to the "Golden Fantasy Butterfly", Song Qingming also told Huang Siyuan this method and asked her to use it to cultivate the spiritual insects in her body.

When Huang Siyuan was still in the foundation-building stage, she had already learned the art of repelling insects and tamed a group of "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" for herself.

However, in recent years, she has focused her energy on practicing Dan, and has not paid too much attention to the cultivation of spiritual insects. The "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" in her hands are far inferior to Song Qingming's in both quantity and quality.

It was not until Song Qingming, through experiments, confirmed that the white spiritual water was useful for the "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" that Huang Siyuan, after several years of cultivation, increased the number of the second-level "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" on her body from just a few dozen to more than two hundred.

Although Huang Siyuan's cultivation is only at the third level of the Golden Core, she not only has several powerful intermediate magic weapons, but also a Golden Core spirit pet like "Red Flame" and many "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" to help her. Her fighting strength is not much worse than that of an ordinary Golden Core mid-stage cultivator.

Moreover, as long as there is enough white spiritual water, the strength of the "Golden Fantasy Butterfly" and other spiritual pets will increase a lot faster. For Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, this will also be a way to improve their own strength in the future.

After feeding the two guys in front of him some white spiritual water, Song Qingming was about to return to the stone to continue meditating and practicing the "Tongtian Wanling Jue", but suddenly he felt someone walking towards him from not far behind him.

Turning around and looking up, he found that it was Song Yuanfang who came. Song Qingming hurriedly waved his gloves, put on his coat and walked towards him.

"Seventh Uncle, this is the message I just received from the Zhang family of Tiexianbao, inviting you to attend a banquet at Tiexianbao next month."

After seeing Song Qingming, Song Yuanfang first stepped forward and bowed, and then handed the letter he had been holding in his hand to Song Qingming.

"Attending the banquet? What happened in Tiexian Castle?"

Hearing that it was Zhang Tieyang who invited him to the banquet, Song Qingming was slightly stunned. He quickly opened the letter in his hand and took a look. Then, like Song Yuanfang before, he showed an expression of surprise.

"Didn't Junior Brother Zhang just marry a Taoist partner the year before last? How come he's holding another big banquet after such a short time? This guy is really interested in this matter.

I have already been to Tiexian Castle in person last time to give him face, so I won't go this time. Yuan Fang, you go for me and ask Cangjin Pavilion to prepare a similar spiritual object, and we can take it over as a gift.

If Junior Brother Zhang asks about me and Siyuan, you can say that we are both in seclusion recently and have no time to come over."

After the monster riots, with the intentional support of Xiaoyao Sect, "Iron Immortal Castle" has slowly begun to recover in the past few years, and the Lingshan Market in the territory has been rebuilt.

After Zhang Tieyang brought the Zhang family into "Iron Immortal Castle", as expected, it took less than a few years for them to gradually gain control of the place.

The immortal cultivation families and forces that were originally vassal states of the Hu family, seeing that the wind was not blowing in their favor, all turned to the new Jindan family, the Zhang family. As a result, the once dominant Hu family's status plummeted in an instant, and they were gradually squeezed out of the core of interests.

Although the Hu family was gnashing their teeth at the Zhang family's actions, they were helpless. After all, the other party had Zhang Tieyang, the Jindan ancestor, in charge and was obviously more powerful. If they wanted to turn against them, they would definitely be the ones who would suffer.

For this reason, Hu Qingyun, whose injuries had not yet healed, went to "Guyang Mountain" a few years ago to seek justice and complain about the Zhang family's suppression of them.

However, after the old leader Yao Qianshu passed away, the Hu family no longer had any particularly strong connections in the sect, and few people were willing to stand up and speak for them.

Therefore, the sect's General Affairs Hall made a lot of noise but little action on the matter. Although it called Zhang Tieyang to "Guyang Mountain" and reprimanded him in person, it did not do much to stop the Zhang family from doing anything.

Although the Zhang family did not continue to suppress the Hu family after that, the territory of "Iron Immortal Castle" has now become dominated by the Zhang family. The influence of the Hu family is far less than before, and they can only stand aside.

After the Zhang family took control of the entire "Iron Immortal Castle", the nearby immortal cultivation families who joined them naturally also tried hard to curry favor with the Zhang family.

Especially knowing that Zhang Tieyang, the Jindan ancestor, was fond of women, some foundation-building families took the initiative to come to him, wanting to send their own suitable and beautiful female cultivators to Zhang Tieyang as concubines, in order to help the family get closer to the Jindan ancestor.

Zhang Tieyang was a successful Jindan cultivator who also enjoyed love affairs, so it was no longer a strange thing for him to marry a wife and take concubines.

However, this guy is different from other high-level monks in one respect. He will not choose to handle this matter in a low-key manner.

Whenever he married a female cultivator, Zhang Tieyang would choose to hold a grand banquet and invite nearby friends to come and watch the ceremony, giving the other party enough courtesy and respect. He was one of the few people in the world of immortal cultivation who was relatively honest in this regard.

But in this case, people like Song Qingming who are close to Zhang Tieyang and are good friends with him feel a little uncomfortable.

Not only does one have to spend time attending the banquet, but one also has to give the other party a nice gift so as not to make the family appear too stingy.

Zhang Tieyang has only been in charge of "Iron Immortal Castle" for less than ten years, and this is the third time he has sent an invitation to the Song family. The first two times, Song Qingming gave Zhang Tieyang enough face and personally came to congratulate him, but this time he really doesn't want to join in the fun.

Although Huang Siyuan had earned a lot of spirit stones from the Zhang family by helping Zhang Tieyang to make elixirs over the years, now all of them had to be returned. Thinking of this, Song Qingming couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

After explaining things to Song Yuanfang, Song Qingming lost the mood to continue practicing, so he turned around and came to the family alchemy pavilion located on the east side of "Funiu Mountain".

Huang Siyuan, who was in seclusion refining pills, was carefully checking the three pills she had just made in her hands when she suddenly saw a sound transmission note flying in from outside the magic circle. She quickly picked it up and took a look, then her face lit up with joy and she stood up and walked out of the alchemy room.

"Husband, how do you know that I have finished refining the elixir today?"

"I've noticed that the time you've spent on alchemy in seclusion these past few times has not changed much, so I came here to take a look." Upon hearing Huang Siyuan's question, Song Qingming immediately opened his mouth to explain.

Huang Siyuan didn't care too much about it. She took out three small porcelain bottles containing pills from the storage bag on her waist and placed them in front of Song Qingming with some excitement.

"I was lucky this time refining the pills. I made three pills and finally made a small profit. My husband, please keep these pills first!"

"Oh! You actually refined three Dongyuan Pills at once. It seems that your alchemy skills have improved again, Siyuan. Now you are not much worse than Brother Chu."

Seeing the three small porcelain bottles in Huang Siyuan's hand, Song Qingming's face was filled with surprise, and he quickly opened his mouth to congratulate Huang Siyuan.

The "Dongyuan Pill" refined by Huang Siyuan was the recipe she copied from Zhang Tieyang when she was working with him to refine the pill.

Because the several demon king inner cores that Song Qingming and his companions obtained during the monster riot could be used to refine this pill, Huang Siyuan had asked the family cultivators to collect auxiliary spiritual medicines everywhere in recent years. So far, they have successfully refined three furnaces of "Dongyuan Pills".

The first two times, only two pills were made, and there was just enough material for refining the pills to make a loss. It was not until this time that Huang Siyuan finally made some progress and made three pills, earning some money.

Being able to successfully refine three "Dongyuan Pills" at a time, it can be seen that Huang Siyuan's alchemy skills have reached the level of a true third-level intermediate alchemist. Seeing the joy on Huang Siyuan's face, Song Qingming was also very happy for her.

“I have already taken one pill. It will not be of much use to me in refining this pill. You should keep these pills for now.

I will leave one for Qingyu in the future, and take the others to Tiandan League to exchange for other spiritual objects. You can decide this matter by yourself, and don't worry about my opinion. "

Seeing that Huang Siyuan was going to give all three "Dongyuan Pills" to him, Song Qingming waved his hand and just took one of the small porcelain bottles.

After hearing Song Qingming's words, Huang Siyuan did not insist. She nodded slightly and put the remaining pills back into the storage bag.

"Siyuan, I want to go to the East China Sea in two days to exchange with Fellow Daoist Xia for a high-level material to repair the formation. Do you want to go with me this time?" (End of this chapter)
