Qinghe Immortal Clan.

In the past two years, Song Qingming has been working hard to repair the "Yin Yang Baji Formation". Huang Siyuan, who often stays with him, is naturally very clear about this matter and has long known that he wants to go to the "Hundred Flowers Palace" to exchange for materials.

"Now, Yuan Li and the others haven't come back yet. I'm afraid it's hard for the family to support the situation with only Yuan Fang. Otherwise, I won't go this time."

Huang Siyuan naturally wanted to travel with Song Qingming, but in recent years, several family foundation-building elders such as Song Yuanli had gone out for training.

Now, besides Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, there are only two foundation-building cultivators, Song Yuanfang and his wife, on the mountain. If something happens in the family territory, it will be difficult to handle the situation.

Seeing that Huang Siyuan was somewhat worried about family matters, Song Qingming smiled slightly and said:
“I know you are worried about these things, but the surroundings have been relatively peaceful recently, and I have set up a third-level medium-grade formation on the mountain, so nothing serious should happen.

We just need to go early and come back early, and we can be back in a month at most, so there is no need to worry so much. "

After hearing Song Qingming's advice, Huang Siyuan simply shook her head and said, "Well! I know nothing serious will happen on this side of the mountain. What I'm worried about is actually the Shuangfeng Mountain.

If both of us are gone, and something happens to the spirit stone mine, or if the sect gets to know about it, it will be difficult for Yuan Fang and the others to handle it.

I just went to Tiandan City half a year ago, and there is nothing urgent to do now.

With me in the mountains, you can be more at ease when you are out doing things, without having to worry about things at home. "

The Song family has been strictly keeping the news about the "Shuangfeng Mountain" spiritual stone mine secret since the excavation began.

Except for a few elders of the Song family who were stationed there, other clansmen stationed there, whether they were cultivators or mortals mining, were not allowed to leave without the family's permission.

However, even if the clan leader Song Qingming personally issued a strict order, trouble was inevitable over time.

Just half a year ago, a late-stage Qi-refining cultivator from the Song family named "Xuan" sneaked out of "Shuangfeng Mountain" by taking advantage of his position as patrol leader because he missed his concubine who lived in "Chiyanfang".

Not only did this person run away secretly, he also secretly hid a piece of medium-grade spirit stone on his body, which he had secretly hidden while inspecting the mine. He wanted to keep it for himself to buy elixirs in the future to break through his cultivation.

Fortunately, Song Xuanyu, who was in charge of the "Chiyanfang" law enforcement team at the time, discovered something wrong in time and found out that this person had sneaked out from "Shuangfeng Mountain". He then quickly took him back to "Funiu Mountain" together with the concubine of the wandering cultivator.

When Song Qingming learned about this, he was furious. He cast a spell on the spot to erase the memories of the two men and sent them directly to "Yinfeng Ridge" to mine, not allowing them to leave for the rest of their lives.

Afterwards, Song Xuanting and Song Xuanling, who were guarding "Shuangfeng Mountain", were also punished by Song Qingming, and each lost several hundred spirit stones in their family salary.

"Well! Your worry is groundless. I will go alone this time. We can go together next time when Qingyu comes back."

Seeing that Huang Siyuan didn't want to go because she was worried that something might happen to the "Shuangfeng Mountain" mine, Song Qingming thought about it and didn't insist any more, and nodded in agreement.

The "Shuangfeng Mountain" spiritual stone vein is indeed very important to the family. Once the news leaks out, it will be difficult to handle the matter without a Jindan cultivator at home.

After talking to Huang Siyuan, Song Qingming left "Funiu Mountain" alone the next day and went directly to the East China Sea immortal cultivation world.

Almost ten years have passed since Song Qingming last went to the East China Sea to cultivate immortals. The neighboring Zheng State has also begun to slowly recover from the monster riots and is no longer in its previous state of desolation.

Those ownerless sacred mountains and markets within the territory of Zheng State have now attracted many independent cultivators from all over. Although it is not as prosperous as that of Wei State, it has already had quite a few people.

Song Qingming sped all the way on the "Phantom Boat" and after crossing the Duanyun Mountains, he headed straight for the biggest destination of his trip, the "Wanhu Island". It took him more than half a month to successfully arrive at the "Baihua Palace" where he had been before.

Upon learning that Song Qingming was coming, He Mengxin, the Jindan elder, hurried to the foot of the mountain to greet him in person, and led Song Qingming to the Lingshan Mountain as a distinguished guest.

The "Baihua Palace" is a large Nascent Soul sect that is even stronger than the "Xiaoyao Sect". There are twenty Golden Core elders in the sect alone.

The sudden loss of Wu Xiang and Chen Yurong, two late Jindan elders, did not have much impact on them. It was still almost the same as when Song Qingming came last time, and it looked like a holy place for immortals.

After following He Mengxin to the sect's "reception hall", Song Qingming had just sat down to taste a sip of the "Hundred Flowers Palace"'s unique spiritual tea. He Mengxin, who knew his purpose, immediately smiled and said:

"Sister Xia went into seclusion soon after returning from the Floating Cloud Mountains last time, and she hasn't come out yet. Otherwise, if she knew that Fellow Daoist Song was visiting, she would definitely come to entertain you in person this time."

"Fairy Xia has been in seclusion for such a long time and hasn't come out yet. Does that mean that I came at a bad time this time? " When Song Qingming heard He Mengxin say that Xia Mo was too busy to see him, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

Song Qingming's main purpose of coming to the East China Sea this time was to exchange for the "Shuiyun Stone". Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Xia Mo in seclusion. If he couldn't see her, this matter would be difficult to handle.

Seeing Song Qingming's disappointed expression, He Mengxin quickly explained with a smile:
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Song. I know you are definitely here for the "Water Cloud Stone" that Senior Sister Xia told you about last time. Senior Sister Xia had already explained this matter before she went into seclusion.

I have just asked someone to invite Senior Sister Wang who manages the sect's Good Deeds Pavilion. Please wait here for a moment. When Senior Sister Wang comes, as long as the things you bring out are not too bad, she will definitely exchange them for you."

"Oh! Fairy Xia is really thoughtful. I would like to thank you two Taoist friends in advance. This time I brought a third-grade high-quality spiritual medicine. I think it should be enough to exchange for the water cloud stone."

"A third-grade high-quality spiritual medicine is definitely enough. With this spiritual item, there will definitely be no problem. I was a little too worried that you came so well prepared this time."

Upon hearing that the spiritual object Song Qingming brought this time was a third-grade top-grade spiritual medicine, He Mengxin's originally nervous expression instantly relaxed and she nodded quickly.

After chatting with He Mengxin for a while, Song Qingming asked again: "Fellow Daoist He, have you heard about Qingyu recently? This girl hasn't returned for such a long time, and I don't know where she went."

“To be honest, I did hear some news about Qing Yu some time ago, but I’m not sure whether it’s true or not, so I didn’t tell my friends about it.

Half a year ago, I heard that two people traveled together on a treasure ship to explore the ruins of Luoxiayuan. One of them was from the Immortal Cultivation World of Fuyun Mountain Range and was somewhat similar to Qingyu. It could be her."

"Luoxiayuan, why is she going there?"

Luoxiayuan is located in the southeastern part of the East China Sea cultivation world. It is a battlefield left over from a great war among ancient cultivators. Song Qingming had heard of this place when he was traveling in the East China Sea cultivation world in his early years.

Ever since a fourth-level secret treasure appeared here thousands of years ago, it has attracted many treasure hunters, and cultivators often go in and out of the nearby sea area to search for treasure.

After so many years, some people did return from there with a lot of gains, but the vast majority of people still had to return empty-handed, and some even never came back after going there.

Before long, "Luoxiayuan" changed from a treasure hunting site in the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world to a dangerous place that cultivators were afraid of.

Hearing that Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi might have gone to that dangerous place, Song Qingming frowned slightly and couldn't help but worry about them.

Seeing that Song Qingming was worried about Song Qingyu's safety, He Mengxin, who was sitting next to him, quickly explained: "It seems that Brother Song should have heard of that place.

But fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry too much. Several elders of the sect have been to Luoxiayuan before. In fact, it is not as dangerous as the rumors say. It will not be too dangerous for a Jindan cultivator to go there.

When Qingyu traveled with me, I could see that although she was bolder than us, she was not an impulsive person. If she was only going to a place like Luoxiayuan, we wouldn't have to worry too much."

"Oh! So, I am a little ignorant." After hearing He Mengxin's explanation, Song Qingming nodded awkwardly and slowly felt relieved.

After all, Song Qingming was not a cultivator from the East China Sea immortal world and he seldom came here often. When he was traveling nearby, he heard many things casually and had never verified them personally. It was normal for him to have some misunderstandings about "Luoxiayuan".

As the two were talking, a woman in a purple dress came in with a smile on her face. When she saw Song Qingming not far away, she immediately bowed and saluted.

"This should be Fellow Daoist Song from the Floating Cloud Mountains. I am Wang Ying, an elder of the Hundred Flowers Palace. I am honored to meet you for the first time!"

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you are so polite! I'm visiting you today because I have something to ask for. Please don't be so formal with me." Seeing that the person who came was Wang Ying, who He Mengxin had mentioned was in charge of the Good Deeds Pavilion, Song Qingming hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting.

Then Song Qingming took out a third-grade top-quality spiritual medicine that he had prepared and placed it on the table in front of him.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, I want to use this item to exchange for a piece of water cloud stone from your sect. Please take a look first. If you are not satisfied with anything, please tell me directly."

"Level 3 high-quality spiritual medicine? Bring it here so I can take a look. If there is no problem with the quality, then we have made the deal."

Wang Ying was slightly surprised when she heard that the spiritual object Song Qingming was going to bring out was a third-grade high-quality spiritual medicine. Then her eyes were fixed on the wooden box that Song Qingming brought out. Because Xia Mo had explained this to her before, Wang Ying thought that Song Qingming had someone to take care of him and that he would not bring out anything good this time. She did not expect that Song Qingming would take out a third-grade high-quality spiritual medicine on his own initiative, which immediately aroused her interest.
Seeing that the other party was interested in what he brought, Song Qingming showed no surprise on his face. He immediately cast a spell and sent the wooden box on the table directly to Wang Ying's hands.

Back then, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan brought out a lot of high-level spiritual medicines from the secret realm of "Tianyuan Sect". Except for some lower-grade ones left for Huang Siyuan for alchemy, the rest of the high-level spiritual medicines were in Song Qingming's hands. This third-grade top-grade spiritual medicine was one of them.

The price of a third-grade top-quality spiritual medicine on the market is generally around 15,000 spiritual stones, which is not much different from the "Shuiyun Stone", so it is quite suitable to use it for exchange.

The third-grade top-quality spiritual medicine can be used for alchemy with greater effect, but high-level materials such as "Shuiyun Stone" are also relatively rare and hard to find. Song Qingming's exchange of spiritual medicine with it is a win-win situation.

Wang Ying took the wooden box without being polite to Song Qingming. She opened it directly in front of him and examined it carefully.

Seeing the exquisite patterns on the spiritual medicine and the rich spiritual energy it exuded, Wang Ying instantly determined that there was no problem with the quality of this spiritual medicine. She hurriedly put away the wooden box in her hand, and then took out a purple jade box and handed it to Song Qingming.

"What's in here is what you need. Junior Sister Xia has explained it before, so feel free to check it out. If there are any questions, you can regret it now. Once I leave this door, you can't change your mind."

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Wang!"

After Song Qingming responded, he directly opened the jade box given by Wang Ying. He saw a piece of transparent jade in the box that was similar to what he had seen in the classics, and immediately nodded to the other party.

"Since there is no problem with Fellow Daoist Song, I still have some trivial matters to deal with, so I will go back first without disturbing you any more."

Seeing that Song Qingming had no objection to the spiritual object in his hand, Wang Ying, who had exchanged it for a third-grade top-quality spiritual medicine, bowed to him with some satisfaction, then turned and left the "reception room".

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Song. You have successfully obtained what you needed on this trip. I have also fulfilled what Senior Sister Xia asked of me." After seeing Wang Ying off, He Mengxin immediately stepped forward to congratulate him.

"Haha! Thanks to Fairy Xia's care, Song was able to achieve his wish successfully. I wonder when she will be able to come out of her retreat. I would like to thank her in person."

Seeing Song Qingming asking about Xia Mo's retreat, He Mengxin was slightly startled. She first carefully glanced at the door, and when she saw that there was no one around, she slowly replied:

"I'm afraid Senior Sister Xia will be in seclusion for a long time this time. Fellow Daoist Song may have to wait a long time to see her. Why don't we wait until Senior Sister Xia comes out of seclusion, and then I'll send you a letter to let you know!"

"Oh! Fairy Xia is in seclusion for such a long time this time. Could it be that she is preparing for a breakthrough?"

After hearing He Mengxin's explanation and learning that Xia Mo's retreat would last such a long time, Song Qingming instantly understood that she was probably already in retreat to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Two years ago, Song Qingming already knew that Bai Yuxian, the leader of the "Xiaoyao Sect", had begun his second retreat in "Guyang Mountain" to condense his Nascent Soul. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in the East China Sea, he learned that Xia Mo was also in retreat to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

The two of them are the ones with the best cultivation talent among the Jindan cultivators Song Qingming knows, and they have both reached the stage of condensing the Nascent Soul.

Unexpectedly, this time Bai Yuxian and Xia Mo chose to go into seclusion to reach the Nascent Soul stage at the same time. It is unknown who will break through and become a Nascent Soul cultivator first.

Thinking that two people he knew were already trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage, Song Qingming couldn't help but feel excited. He wondered how long it would take him to reach this stage in the future.

Seeing that Song Qingming had guessed that Xia Mo was in seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, He Mengxin smiled and blinked, but did not answer him directly. She then changed the subject and asked about her apprentice Liu Yuxin.

Liu Yuxin and Song Changze have been traveling outside for two years. Although they have not sent any news back to their family, their life tablets in the family's ancestral hall have always been safe and sound, so it can be confirmed that they are safe outside.

Song Qingming was also open about this matter and told He Mengxin everything about their trip to the west of the Floating Cloud Mountains.

It is not uncommon for cultivators to travel after establishing their foundation. He Mengxin once returned to the Floating Cloud Mountains alone when she was still in the foundation-building stage, so she naturally understands this very well.

He just asked Song Qingming to help convey a message, and after Liu Yuxin returned to the family, he would quickly send a message to her to let her know that she was safe.
-
Two days later, a white light suddenly flew out from the north of "Wanhu Island" and went directly to the northwest.

After exchanging for the required spiritual objects, Song Qingming stayed in the "Bai Hua Palace" for another two days. He strolled around the market town at the foot of the mountain before he took the initiative to bid farewell to He Mengxin and left the "Bai Hua Palace".

Although he didn't meet Xia Mo this time, he successfully exchanged for the "Shuiyun Stone" he wanted, so his trip was not in vain and the trip was considered a success.

In the past two years, Song Qingming has repaired more than half of the "Yin Yang Baji Formation", and he only needs two high-level materials to have a great chance of repairing the formation.

Now that the "Shuiyun Stone" is in hand, all Song Qingming needs to do next is to find a third-grade top-quality material with fire attribute, and he will be able to restore the "Yin Yang Baji Formation" in his hand to its original state.

Song Qingming, standing on the "Phantom Boat", looked at the "Wanhu Island" which was getting farther and farther behind him, and couldn't help but smile.

After boarding the flying boat and leaving "Wanhu Island", Song Qingming did not return along the same route, but took a detour to the northwest, intending to visit the nearby "Tianxuan Sect" on the way.

He had met Luo Li by chance in "Tian Dan City" that year and promised her that he would go see her, but he never found a suitable opportunity. This time, Song Qingming came to the nearby "Baihua Palace", so he could just stop by and take a look and fulfill his promise.

"I've delayed going for so long. When we meet again, I guess this girl will definitely complain about me again!" Song Qingming couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he suddenly thought of Luo Li, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

After flying eastward for three days, Song Qingming soon arrived at the sea area near where the Tianxuan Sect was located.

Just when he was hundreds of miles away from "Baisha Island", he suddenly saw several monks fighting fiercely on a deserted island not far ahead.

In the world of cultivating immortals, fighting among cultivators can be seen almost everywhere, mostly for the purpose of competing for territory or some spiritual objects. Song Qingming has been practicing for so many years that he has become accustomed to this.

He was just passing by and didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when he was approaching the deserted island, he unexpectedly heard a voice, which made him stop his flying boat on his own initiative.

"Senior Song, I am Luo Li. These bad guys want to steal our things. Please help me."

Song Qingming turned around and saw two young women riding flying swords and approaching him quickly. Song Qingming was also surprised.

One of these two young women was Luo Li, whom Song Qingming went to visit. Song Qingming seemed to have seen the other one before. She was the companion who went to "Tiandan City" with her that year. She was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Behind Luo Li and the other two, there were four Foundation Establishment cultivators whose cultivation was not lower than theirs. They were controlling the flying swords under their feet and trying their best to catch up with them. The six of them arrived in front of Song Qingming almost at the same time.

Seeing that there was suddenly a Jindan cultivator passing by in front of them, the four people who were chasing Luo Li were suddenly startled. One of them, a white-haired old man in the late foundation building stage, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Song Qingming.

“Senior, please don’t misunderstand me. We are the monks from the nearby Iron Wind Island. These two bitches cheated our young master of something before, and we just want to get it back.

Senior, please do not listen to what they say. These two are famous bandits in the area. They like to use their beauty to deceive others into giving away their spirits. My young master was fooled by them because of his carelessness. "

"You are talking nonsense. It was you who tried to rob us of our things. You are so shameless to lie and confuse right and wrong.

Senior, I dare to swear to the heavens that even if they insist on taking my things, I hope you can support justice for me. " Upon hearing what the white-haired old man said, Luo Li's face became anxious, and he hurriedly explained to Song Qingming beside him.

Seeing this situation, Song Qingming knew what had happened without asking any more questions. He ignored the people around him and directly asked Luo Li.

"What about the strength of the Iron Wind Island he just mentioned? Is there a Jindan cultivator?"

Hearing Song Qingming's sudden question, before Luo Qi could answer, the white-haired old man beside him immediately said with some pride:
"Haha! Senior, you haven't even heard of our Iron Wind Island, so you shouldn't be a cultivator from the nearby sea area! It seems that these two bastards don't know you at all, and they want to use your prestige to scare us in order to save their lives.

Senior, you may not know that our Tiefeng Island is one of the best sects in the nearby sea area, and the island master is already a fifth-level Jindan cultivator.

I hope you can give our Iron Wind Island some face and don’t believe what these two little bitches say.”

Because Song Qingming had deliberately used the breath-concealing technique while in a hurry on the road, in the eyes of the white-haired old man, his cultivation level was only at the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Therefore, the other party thought that he was just a casual cultivator passing by, so they directly brought out their own island owner who had a higher level of cultivation, hoping that Song Qingming would be cautious and not interfere in the matter.

"Oh! A fifth-level Jindan cultivator, what a great honor!" (End of this chapter)
