Qinghe Immortal Clan.

"I have a connection with your clan, and I also received some benefits from Senior Zhao in the past. Don't be too polite to me about this matter. Stand up and talk first!"

Seeing Chen Jianghai's move, Song Qingming quickly waved his hand, signaling Luo Li beside him to help his master up first.

"Master, you are not feeling well, so you should get up first!"

With the support of Luo Li and the other two, Chen Jianghai, who was still a little weak, slowly stopped his act of expressing his gratitude, slowly stood up and sat on a wooden chair beside him.

"It is a great honor for our Tianxuan Sect that you have come here today. I dare to ask you not to despise me. I will definitely stay in the mountain for a few more days."

Seeing that Chen Jianghai wanted to keep him for a few more days, Song Qingming did not refuse and replied directly: "I came here this time specifically to see you and Luo Li, so I am not in a hurry to leave.

There is one more thing I want to tell you. I think you all know that Luo Li was targeted by people from Tiefeng Island today!

Although these scum died in my hands, it is hard to say whether the matter has been leaked. If someone from Iron Wind Island comes to you for this matter in the future, do you have any plan to deal with it?"

As soon as Chen Jianghai heard Song Qingming mention "Iron Wind Island", a somewhat ugly look suddenly appeared on his face. It was obvious that he had already known about this from Luo Li.

“Don’t worry, senior. Although Tiefeng Island is a Jindan power, our Tianxuan Sect is also a vassal of Chongyun Sect. No matter how bold they are, they have to consider the face of our sect. They probably won’t come here to cause trouble.

But Luo Li should be more careful when going out in the future, and should not leave the island casually recently, and wait until the storm has passed. "

The Chixing Sea where the "Tianxuan Sect" is located stretches for tens of thousands of miles. In this vast area, there are tens of thousands of islands of various sizes. As long as there are spiritual veins, they are basically inhabited by people or cultivators.

However, although the "Red Star Sea" is large, it is full of small and medium-sized spiritual veins below level 4, and there are no Yuanying forces. The ones who rule here are large and small, more than a dozen Jindan forces, and "Iron Wind Island" is one of them.

However, there is only one Jindan cultivator on "Iron Wind Island", and it can only rank behind the many Jindan forces in "Red Star Sea Area", and is not as good as "Chongyun Sect", another Jindan force that is a vassal of "Tianxuan Sect".

Therefore, although Chen Jianghai and his men were somewhat afraid of the "Iron Wind Island", they were not afraid that they would come directly and blatantly to cause trouble. Although the other party would not take them seriously, the "Chongyun Sect" would not allow the other party to extend their hands into their territory.

"Well! Just keep this in mind. I won't be leaving recently. You can first inquire about the movements of Iron Wind Island. If you are really suspected, tell me immediately.

After all, these people died at my hands. I can't leave all the troubles to you after I leave. I still have some friendship with the Baihua Palace on Wanhu Island.

If, I mean if, they come knocking on your door in the future and you can't handle it, you can take this item to find Elder He Mengxin of Baihua Palace. She and I are close friends and will definitely not neglect you."

After saying that, Song Qingming took out a second-level communication talisman that he had made himself and handed it to Chen Jianghai, the leader of the "Tianxuan Sect".

Hearing Song Qingming offering to help them deal with the trouble on "Iron Wind Island", Chen Jianghai and his companions were quite excited. They quickly accepted the talisman given by Song Qingming and expressed their gratitude profusely.

Song Qingming is not only a late Jindan cultivator, he also has a good relationship with the "Baihua Palace", a major Yuanying sect in the East China Sea. Such a backer is what the "Tianxuan Sect" dreams of having.

It’s a pity that Song Qingming is not in the East China Sea and cannot stay here for a long time. The most the “Tianxuan Sect” can do now is to borrow his name to bully others.

When Song Qingming came to visit for the first time and returned Zhao Jibai's remains, Chen Jianghai and the others deliberately invited the surrounding foundation-building forces to watch the ceremony, and used their familiarity with Song Qingming to improve the declining status of the "Tianxuan Sect".

It’s a pity that Song Qingming never came again for decades. As time went by, people around naturally saw through the true strength of the "Tianxuan Sect", and now their lives are almost back to the way they were before.

Fortunately, Luo Li later successfully established his foundation, giving the entire "Tianxuan Sect" some hope for revival.

The current "Tianxuan Sect" is much better than when Song Qingming first came. The number of disciples in the sect has nearly doubled, and the sect has slowly stopped its downward trend.

After explaining the matter to Chen Jianghai and the others, Song Qingming, who had nothing to do here, took the opportunity to give some pointers to them on some matters of cultivation.

Next, under the personal arrangement of Chen Jianghai, Song Qingming lived directly in a cave in the back mountain of "Tianxuan Sect".

Apart from returning to the cave to meditate and practice at night, Song Qingming basically wandered around the foot of the mountain during the day accompanied by Luo Li, experiencing the different customs of the island on this side of the East China Sea.

After Chen Jianghai and his companions inquired, they found out that the Iron Wind Island had just as Song Qingming and his companions had expected. After losing several foundation-building cultivators, they immediately sent people to investigate. However, the vast ocean made it impossible to find even the bodies, and there was no way to track down the perpetrators.

The four white-haired old men were not weaklings among the foundation-building cultivators. They were able to kill them silently, which indirectly proved that the person who did it might be a Jindan cultivator.

Although "Iron Wind Island" suffered a loss this time, they also knew that the person who took action might have an extraordinary origin, so they did not publicize the matter afterwards. Soon, the sudden disappearance of the white-haired old man and several others gradually disappeared in everyone's conversation.

Three days later, in a teahouse in the mortal town of "Baisha Island", Song Qingming was sitting among a group of mortals, watching the performance on the stage with ordinary people around him.

He had a smile on his face, and like many ordinary people sitting in the teahouse, he would clap his hands from time to time to cheer for the wonderful performances on the stage.

Ever since he participated in worldly practice in the "Taixu Sect", Song Qingming can now easily integrate himself into the crowd of ordinary mortals, no matter where he is.

He could deeply feel the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, separations and reunions of these ordinary mortals around him, things that were difficult for the immortal cultivators hiding in the high immortal mountains to obtain.

Song Qingming also went from not understanding the practice of cultivation in the secular world in the beginning to gradually feeling the benefits it brought to his cultivation. Now he can quickly and freely integrate into a relatively unfamiliar mortal world.

In recent years, Song Qingming's personal state of mind has become much more indifferent than when he was practicing before. Even when facing some bad setbacks, he can accept them calmly and will not easily trap himself in a situation as before.

Just as Song Qingming was listening to the opera attentively, two young women suddenly came to the door of the teahouse. Both of them were dressed in brocade clothes and had extraordinary temperament. As soon as they walked in, they attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

After seeing Song Qingming sitting in the crowd not far away, the two girls immediately looked happy and walked straight towards him. Ignoring the puzzled looks of the people around them, they bowed slightly to Song Qingming.

"Senior, how are you? I am here to greet you!"

The people who came in were Luo Li and her best friend Guo Yuting.

When Guo Yuting left last time, she said that she would come to visit him in a few days to ask him about cultivation. Her coming here today was not unexpected to Song Qingming.

After nodding slightly, Song Qingming immediately waved his hand and said, "Since you are here, sit down and listen to the show first!
You are all cultivators, so you should try to control yourselves in front of ordinary people, and don’t let them see your differences at a glance. You need to calm down and feel the differences when listening to this kind of play.”

Hearing Song Qingming asking them to stay and listen to the opera together, Guo Yuting and Luo Li nodded immediately, sat down beside him, and patiently focused their attention on the stage not far away, just like Song Qingming.

"Senior, is listening to opera here also a way of practicing?" Seeing that a play had just ended on the stage and there was some time off, Guo Yuting asked Song Qingming beside her with a hint of doubt on her face.

This kind of teahouse stage is very common among the mortals in the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world. Guo Yuting and Luo Li grew up here since childhood, so they naturally knew about these things a long time ago.

However, as cultivators, they only listened to the storytelling and singing of these mortals for the sake of novelty, and never deeply understood these things which were not important to them.

From the moment she came in, she saw Song Qingming, a Jindan cultivator who stood at the top of the immortal cultivation world, coming here to listen to opera with a group of mortals. She just thought that this senior should only come to the East China Sea rarely, so he was interested in the local special opera for a while.

But after sitting here and watching the whole show, Guo Yuting realized that the senior in front of her was very serious when watching the show, and even some mortals did not seem to be as focused as him.

Although Song Qingming seldom spoke while watching a play, he was able to react quickly every time there was a good part in the singing on stage, and would promptly applaud and cheer for the other party along with those mortals. It was obvious that he was now somewhat familiar with the plays on stage.

Hearing Guo Yuting's puzzled question, Song Qingming immediately nodded slightly and said: "There are thousands of ways to practice, and it is not only sitting on the mountain and practicing hard that is called practice.

My path of practice can be carried out in many places, and one can also gain something from listening to this opera, although you may not be able to feel it now.

However, how much you can gain from my way of cultivation depends entirely on your own understanding. You two should not think too much about this matter. Just let it go. You will naturally understand it when it is time."

"I understand a little bit now. Senior, what you cultivate here is your character, not your own cultivation. This should be correct, right?"

Song Qingming heard this and replied with some satisfaction: "Well! You are right. This kind of practice will be more helpful to one's state of mind and can help you break through the bottleneck of cultivation.

If you can enter the Tao and experience the differences in the future, you will naturally be able to gain some benefits.

However, this kind of practice requires letting things take their natural course and not forcing things. Not everyone can comprehend it so easily. You should still focus on your own practice and not confuse the priorities and delay your own practice. " "Senior, I'll take note of your good advice!"

"Alright! I've gained a lot from listening to a few plays today, so let's stop here."

Seeing that many people around were looking at him with curiosity because Luo Li and Guo Yuting were sitting next to him, Song Qingming nodded slightly at them, then stood up from his seat and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Luo Li and the other two immediately followed carefully behind them. The three of them passed through the bustling town and arrived at the beach not far away.

After finding a relatively quiet place to sit down, Song Qingming went straight to the point, giving Luo Li and the other two the opportunity to ask themselves questions about cultivation that they had no idea about.

Guo Yuting has been practicing for many years. Although she has good talent and successfully established her foundation early, she was born into a weak foundation-building family and has never had any chance to come into contact with Jindan cultivators.

Seeing that Song Qingming took the initiative to guide them in their cultivation, Guo Yuting hurriedly kowtowed with a happy look on her face to express her gratitude together with Luo Li, and began to ask Song Qingming about her doubts in cultivation.

In response, Song Qingming answered them one by one without any reservation.

For foundation-building cultivators like Guo Yuting and Luo Li who have no background, the personal instruction and teaching by a Jindan cultivator is definitely a rare personal opportunity for them.

Both of them were born in small foundation-building forces and cultivated themselves step by step from the bottom. Naturally, their personal talents were not too bad. Song Qingming only gave them some pointers on some difficulties in cultivation, and they quickly understood.

The three of them sat on the beach, accompanied by the sound of the tide rising and falling not far away, from morning to dusk, when Song Qingming ended his discussion of instructing them.

Although it only took half a day, under Song Qingming's guidance, Guo Yuting and Luo Li solved many problems that had previously troubled their practice, and also gained a clear understanding of their future personal paths.

For them, such gains are absolutely difficult to measure with ordinary spirit stones or spiritual objects. At this moment, in their hearts, Song Qingming has gradually changed from a senior to a half-mentor.

Seeing that the two girls benefited a lot, Song Qingming, who was teaching patiently, felt a little relieved at this moment.

After practicing Taoism for so many years, Song Qingming also received guidance from many seniors, which enabled him to reach where he is today. When he preached Taoism to Luo Li and the others today, Song Qingming also inherited the will of these seniors.

When practicing the path of cultivation, one cannot always just look at one’s own path. Sometimes one must also leave some opportunities for future generations. This is also a form of personal karma inheritance.

Only by doing things convenient for others can you do things convenient for yourself. What happened today might just be something Song Qingming did casually, but for Luo Li and the others, it could be a major event that could change the course of their lives.

Seeing that they had no more problems and he had said everything he needed to say, Song Qingming stood up on his own initiative, glanced at the sunset not far away, turned around and prepared to return to "Tianxuan Sect".

At this moment, Guo Yuting, who was standing by, suddenly bowed to Song Qingming and said, "Senior, wait a minute. I came here today for another matter. I would like to ask Senior Song for help. I wonder if you are free recently."

"I'm here mainly to visit Luo Li and the others. I'll probably leave in three to five days. Tell me what you want first. If it's convenient, I can consider it."

When Song Qingming heard that Guo Yuting asked him for help, he did not immediately agree. He was not a nosy person when he was away from home, so he wanted to hear what the other party said next before considering it.

Song Qingming's expression was very calm, but Luo Li on the side had already guessed what Guo Yuting wanted to say, and looked at her nervously, as if she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

After hearing what Song Qingming said, Guo Yuting immediately understood what he meant, and without much hesitation, she said, "Senior Song is willing to teach us all today. I will never forget your kindness, so I naturally dare not hide it from you.

More than ten years ago, when I had just established my foundation, I was fortunate enough to discover a cave left by my predecessor in the nearby sea.

It’s a pity that there are not only many restrictions there, but also many high-level monsters lurking around. I have tried to enter there several times but failed.

I would like to ask Senior Song to help me break the restrictions there. If I am lucky enough to enter the senior's cave, I would like to share the spiritual objects I have obtained with you."

"It's a Jindan cultivator's cave. How did you know for sure? It's been more than ten years and you still haven't succeeded. Logically speaking, a cave left behind by an ordinary Jindan cultivator shouldn't be that difficult to enter, right?"

After hearing what Chen Yuting said, Song Qingming, who had originally had a very calm face, suddenly became interested and asked the other party another question.

Although the number of high-level independent cultivators in the East China Sea cultivation world is more than twice that of the Floating Cloud Mountains cultivation world, it is not too strange for Chen Yuting to find a cave dwelling of a Jindan cultivator outside.

However, what puzzled Song Qingming was that Chen Yuting herself was a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and there were other cultivators in the family who were also foundation building, so she was not without help.

To break into a cave left behind by a Jindan cultivator, more than ten years of slow work would be enough for them to open the restrictions of the cave, so there was no need to specially ask Song Qingming, a Jindan cultivator, for help.

After hearing what Song Qingming said, Chen Yuting sighed and said bluntly: "Senior is right, the restrictions in this cave are indeed a little different and very difficult to remove.

To be honest, my main practice is the art of formations, and now I am a second-level mid-level formation master. However, after facing the restrictions in that cave for more than ten years, I still haven't found any good solution.

Even if I ask a few family elders to go with me, it will be difficult to break the restrictions inside. The only option now is to find a Jindan cultivator to cooperate with me to break the formation, so that I can have a chance of successfully removing the restrictions and entering the cave.

Don't worry, senior. That cave was definitely built by a cultivator above the Jindan level. I am sure that your trip will not be in vain.

Last time, I searched carefully outside the cave and unexpectedly found a third-level spiritual object in an abandoned stone chamber. The reason why Luo Li and I were targeted by the people of Iron Wind Island was actually because of this thing. "

After Chen Yuting finished speaking, she reached out her hand to her waist and gently took out a somewhat damaged third-grade low-grade magic weapon.

This magic weapon was very ordinary in style, and the spiritual light on it was very dim. It looked exactly as Chen Yuting had said, it should be something that had been left outside by its owner for a long time.

Chen Yuting obtained this magic weapon several years ago and has never shown it in front of anyone. Except for the patriarch of the Chen family, no one knew that she had found a golden elixir cave outside.

It was not until the last time they went to the nearby market with Luo Li that they happened to see a spiritual object in the market that could help them break through their cultivation.

At that time, the two of them did not have enough spirit stones in their hands. Faced with a rare opportunity, Chen Yuting did not want to give up, so she wanted to exchange this flawed magic weapon for spirit stones.

When they were trying to inquire in the market town, they were unfortunately targeted by the people from "Iron Wind Island". Although the two of them carefully escaped from the market town, they were caught up by the other party for some reason and almost died in the sea with Luo Li.

If they hadn't met Song Qingming later, they would have been killed and their treasures robbed, and disappeared into the vast ocean.

It was precisely because Song Qingming saved Chen Yuting's life and did not treat her as an outsider and taught her everything he knew patiently that Chen Yuting made up her mind to tell Song Qingming about the Jindan Cave Mansion and asked him to help explore the place together.

Over the years, Chen Yuting had thought about asking an expert for help, but the Jindan cultivators out there were all as ferocious as jackals, tigers and leopards, which really made Chen Yuting dare not try.

He and even the entire Chen family were just a small foundation-building family. There was really no room for bargaining in front of a Jindan cultivator. Even if they went to the Chongyun Sect, the things in this Jindan cave would probably be completely eaten up by the other party in the end.

If they asked a strange Jindan cultivator from outside for help, and if the other party had evil intentions and wanted to kill people to silence them, the entire Chen family would be in danger of being exterminated. This was not something that a mere foundation-building cultivator like Chen Yuting dared to take.

Therefore, Chen Yuting has kept this secret in her heart for so many years. Except for the head of the Chen family who supported her all the way to build her foundation, Chen Yuting has never told this matter to outsiders.

Even Chen Yuting's good sister Luo Li only took the initiative to tell Luo Li about it when she decided to invite Song Qingming not long ago.

After hearing Chen Yuting's explanation, Song Qingming did not answer immediately, but picked up the short sword magic weapon in Chen Yuting's hand and took a closer look.

After trying it with the magic power in his hand, Song Qingming found that the magic weapon was not damaged too badly, and he could directly inject magic power into it to drive it. He estimated that it had been abandoned for only a few hundred years at most.

Judging that what the other party said did not seem to be false, Song Qingming nodded slightly and said: "In that case, I will accompany you!

But let's make it clear in advance that I can go with you to check out the situation first. If the restrictions there are too strong and I can't open them, then I can only give up on this matter.

Although Song is not a kind and righteous gentleman, he is not a person who takes advantage of the younger generation.

Regardless of whether I can help you on this trip or not, I will not tell anyone else what you said to me today, you can rest assured."

"Then Yuting would like to thank you here first!" (End of this chapter)
