Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Except for the third-grade top-quality flying sword that Song Qingming had seized in advance as his trophy and was not included in the distribution, the approximate prices of all the other spiritual objects were quickly estimated by several people.

The three magic weapons in the storage bag of "Tianshi Taoist" are of high quality. Two of them are middle-grade third-level, and one is upper-grade third-level. Together, they are worth nearly 70,000 spirit stones.

Although the third-level medium-quality flying boat is relatively ordinary, its value is not low, at least about 45,000 spirit stones.

The five third-level talismans are of different qualities. Among them, only the golden talisman is a relatively rare third-level upper-grade talisman, and the rest are relatively inferior, only third-level lower-grade. Together, they are worth almost 20,000 spirit stones.

In addition to the remaining 20,000 spirit stones, the other miscellaneous low-level spiritual objects found in the cave are worth about 20,000 spirit stones in total.

This time, the three of them explored the cave of "Tianshi Taoist" and the total value of all the spiritual objects they obtained was finally estimated to be nearly 180,000 spirit stones.

According to the distribution, Song Qingming can take away 40% of the spiritual objects first, which is about 70,000 spirit stones.

Seeing this, Song Qingming directly took away two magic weapons of the highest quality and a third-grade top-grade talisman. The total value of these three spiritual objects was exactly 70,000 spirit stones.

Chen Yuting was allocated a third-level medium-grade flying boat, a third-level medium-grade magic weapon, and two third-level low-grade talismans. Together with half of the low-level spiritual objects, the total value accounts for about 40% of all the spiritual objects.

The remaining two third-level low-grade talismans, 20,000 spirit stones, and some other low-level spiritual objects belonged to Luo Li.

Although he only got the smallest share, Luo Li was the happiest one among the three at this moment. He kept looking at the third-grade low-grade talisman in his hand and was reluctant to put it into the storage bag.

Luo Li was not a person who didn't like to take advantage of others. This time, she went out for training with Song Qingming and the others, and she actually got nearly 40,000 spirit stones in one go. For her, it was considered a fortune.

The three of them had already distributed all the spiritual objects before Song Qingming remembered that he still had the storage magic weapon of "Tianshi Taoist" in his hand and had not taken it out to distribute it.

After thinking about it, Song Qingming gave it directly to Chen Yuting.

"Friend Chen, this storage magic tool should be able to sell for a few thousand spirit stones. Consider it as a token of my gratitude for leading the way. Luo Li and I will not share this little bit of spirit stones with you."

Seeing that Song Qingming gave her the storage magic weapon, Chen Yuting waved her hand and said, "Senior Song, you are too polite. Since we agreed to distribute it equally, it should be exchanged for spirit stones.

But I don't have that many spirit stones on me, so I can exchange this storage magic tool for 4,000 spirit stones and give it to Sister Luo Li."

"Yeah! That's fine."

Seeing that Chen Yuting insisted on a fair distribution, Song Qingming did not say much and directly handed the jade pendant to Luo Li who was standing beside him. Soon, the two of them each received the spirit stones taken from Luo Li.

"Senior Song, I have something to ask of you. I hope you can help me."

Song Qingming had just put away the spirit stone when he heard Chen Yuting asking for help. He quickly waved his hand and said, "We are familiar with each other now. If you have anything to say, just speak frankly. I will not refuse any help that is convenient for me."

Hearing Song Qingming's reply, Chen Yuting hurriedly took out the third-level intermediate flying boat that she had just been assigned and placed it in front of Song Qingming.

"Senior Song, I have no use for this item for the time being. I will trade it for a few low-level magic weapons, talismans, or spiritual stones. I hope you can help me."

Seeing the third-grade intermediate flying boat in Chen Yuting's hand, Song Qingming immediately understood that the other party must be worried that the spiritual object in her hand was too valuable to sell, so she wanted to exchange it with Song Qingming for other spiritual objects of lower value.

Chen Yuting's cultivation is only at the fifth level of foundation building, and her family is just a small foundation building force in the "Red Star Sea". She has a high-level spiritual object like a third-grade intermediate flying boat worth tens of thousands of spirit stones. Once it is noticed by someone with ulterior motives, it will surely bring disaster to herself and her family.

A few days ago, she and Luo Li went to the market together. She just took out a defective third-grade magic weapon, but was accidentally targeted by the "Iron Wind Island" and almost died. Now that she has so many high-level spiritual objects, she has become much more cautious.

For Chen Yuting and Luo Li, this exploration of the "Heavenly Corpse Taoist" and obtaining so many precious spiritual objects is naturally a golden opportunity, which may help them cultivate to the Golden Core realm in the future.

The only trouble is how to exchange the spiritual objects in their hands for the cultivation resources they need.

Most of the things Luo Li got were spirit stones and low-level spiritual objects. The more precious high-level spiritual objects were two third-level low-grade spirit talismans and the storage magic weapon he got at the end.

Each of these three items is only worth a few thousand spirit stones. Although these things are very precious to a foundation-building cultivator, they are not very rare spiritual objects. It is not difficult to sell them in a larger market.

However, the third-level intermediate-grade flying boat and another third-level intermediate-grade magic weapon that Chen Yuting obtained were not something that an ordinary foundation-building cultivator could afford.

Such high-level precious spiritual objects worth tens to hundreds of thousands of spirit stones cannot be sold in ordinary markets. They may have to be taken to large markets such as "Tian Dan City" or high-level auctions attended by Jindan cultivators to be exchanged for spirit stones.

These are not easy things to do for Chen Yuting, a fifth-level foundation-building cultivator.

Moreover, these two things are really too precious. Even a late Jindan cultivator like Song Qingming might be tempted when he sees them. Once they are shown in public, they will easily attract people with bad intentions. These are also what Chen Yuting is most worried about now.

It was precisely because of these reasons that Chen Yuting made the ruthless decision to trade her third-grade intermediate flying boat to Song Qingming at a discount, in order to buy herself a safer way to sell spiritual objects.

Song Qingming understood Chen Yuting's idea, and said with a look of relief on his face: "It is rare that you are not confused by these high-level spiritual objects and know how to retreat in order to advance. I will help you take this object and that magic weapon!

I carry these things with me for your convenience. You can choose whatever you want. If it is not enough, I will make up the difference with spirit stones.

You can choose with confidence. As a Jindan cultivator, I will definitely not take advantage of a junior like you. I will calculate the price of this flying boat based on the amount of spirit stones it costs."

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he used his magic power to take out a dozen third-level low-grade spiritual objects from the storage magic tool on his waist and placed them in front of him.
"Then I would like to thank Senior Song!" Seeing that Song Qingming agreed immediately, Chen Yuting's face suddenly lit up, and she happily walked up to start selecting the many spiritual objects that Song Qingming had brought out.

This time, Song Qingming took out a variety of things, including talismans, magic weapons, formations, elixirs, etc. These were basically the spiritual objects of the third-grade lower quality that he had accumulated over the years.

Although Song Qingming is no longer of much use to these spiritual objects, for Chen Yuting, they are great things that can help her relieve her current worries.

Not long after, Chen Yuting selected a spiritual object of equal value to hers and easier to sell, and then exchanged the third-level intermediate flying boat and magic weapon she had just received with Song Qingming.

Song Qingming exchanged some of the less valuable third-grade low-grade spiritual objects on him for more valuable third-grade mid-grade spiritual objects. This would definitely not be a loss for him, and it would also be convenient for him to exchange them for other high-grade spiritual objects in the future.

Chen Yuting exchanged the two precious spiritual objects in her hand for lower-value items such as third-grade low-grade spiritual medicines and talismans that were easier to sell, which could be better exchanged for other cultivation resources in the future.

The transaction between the two parties was purely for their own benefit, and no one took advantage. After the exchange, both Song Qingming and Chen Yuting were quite satisfied.

After collecting the spiritual objects she needed, Chen Yuting glanced at the spring emitting rich spiritual energy, and couldn't help but say, "There is a spiritual spring here, it's a pity to bury it here.

Senior Song, if you come to the East China Sea often in the future, this cave is very suitable for you to stay. Senior, do you have the idea of ​​using this place as your own cave?"

After hearing Chen Yuting's reminder, Song Qingming looked around, then nodded with a smile and said, "Your words remind me that this place is indeed suitable for a temporary rest.

I'll see if I can transform this cave and set up a spirit gathering formation here to increase the spiritual energy in the cave.

If you reach the Jindan stage in the future, this place will be quite suitable for you to retreat and break through. Don't worry, if there is a real need, I will definitely not turn you away.

But I have to remind you of one thing: you two are not allowed to reveal anything about this place to anyone else, including relatives and friends.

I will leave a high-level voice transmission talisman at the entrance of the cave. If you need to find me for any urgent matters in the future, you can come here to send a message to let me know.

But no matter what happens, you can only come here alone, and you are not allowed to bring other people to the island. I like quietness, and if it's too noisy here, I'm afraid I won't be able to live here for long."

"Please rest assured, senior. Even if you don't tell us about what happened today, the two of us will keep our mouths shut and will never mention it to anyone else."

Upon hearing that Song Qingming intended to turn this place into his own cave, Chen Yuting and Luo Li beside her both showed a hint of joy on their faces and quickly agreed.

Although they knew that Song Qingming was not a cultivator from the East China Sea and would definitely not live here permanently, even if he came here occasionally, being able to establish a relationship with Song Qingming would be a very beneficial thing for their future path.

It is not easy to meet a Jindan senior like Song Qingming who is approachable and willing to teach them by words and deeds in the world of immortal cultivation. For Chen Yuting and Luo Li, Song Qingming is now a great opportunity on their path of cultivation.

Now they each obtained cultivation resources worth tens of thousands of spirit stones. If they could get guidance from Song Qingming in the future, they might have a chance to form a golden elixir and become a great golden elixir ancestor like Song Qingming.

Song Qingming also regarded Chen Yuting and Luo Li as rising stars who were destined to be with him, so he would not hesitate to give them some pointers. However, Song Qingming would not interfere too much with whether they would have the opportunity to successfully break through to the Golden Core Avenue in the future, as it all depended on their own luck.

After nodding slightly to the two of them, Song Qingming took out another bamboo scroll and handed it to Chen Yuting, saying: "The art of formation is no different from other skills. It requires a lot of knowledge to improve quickly. You have some talent in this area.

Here are some formation manuals that I have recorded on a daily basis. You can take a look at them. They will definitely help you in your future practice. If there is anything you don’t understand, please come and find me when we have a chance to meet in the future.”

"Thank you for your instruction, senior. I will definitely live up to your high expectations." Chen Yuting's face lit up when she took the formation book handed over by Song Qingming, and she immediately bowed excitedly to express her gratitude.

After passing a set of formation books to Chen Yuting, seeing a hint of envy in Luo Li's eyes beside him, Song Qingming smiled slightly and took out another scroll of bamboo slips and placed it in front of her.

"You are practicing alchemy, which is not a skill I am good at. For now, I can't give you much help in this regard. If we are destined to meet in the future, I will help you introduce someone.

This is a secret method that I practiced before I formed my elixir. It will be of great help in training the soul of a cultivator. You can try to practice it. If you can successfully get started, it should be of great help to your future practice or alchemy."

The volume of martial arts that Song Qingming took out was exactly the "Soul-Devouring Art" that he got from Feng He that year.

Although the initial practice of this technique is extremely difficult for ordinary practitioners, as long as one can successfully pass the entry level, the improvement in one's own soul will be very obvious later on.

Song Qingming has gained many benefits from practicing this technique over the years. Whether he is fighting with others or learning other techniques and skills, Song Qingming, whose soul is much stronger than others, can often do it more easily.

Although forging a cultivator's soul does not directly help improve his own cultivation, when a cultivator encounters interference from inner demons when trying to break through the realm of cultivation, a strong soul can be of great use.

Song Qingming has always attached great importance to this technique. Over the years, he has only taught it to cultivators in the family who have reached the foundation building stage or above. Luo Li is the first person outside the Song family to whom he has taught.

Seeing the "Soul-Devouring Art" that Song Qingming took out, Luo Li did not refuse this time. He accepted it generously and then imitated Chen Yuting and bowed solemnly to Song Qingming.

After giving the two of them a few more instructions, Song Qingming took them out of the cave and then drove the flying boat to send them back to "Baisha Island".

This treasure hunt took a total of seven days.

After returning to "Baisha Island" and parting with Chen Yuting, Song Qingming immediately returned to "Tianxuan Sect" to pack up, then said goodbye to Luo Li, Chen Jianghai and others, and returned to "Heiyun Island" on a flying boat.

This time when he came back, Song Qingming spent a lot of time renovating the cave of "Tianshi Taoist".

He burned all the miscellaneous spiritual objects and things related to "corpse refining" that he had collected on the spot and threw them into the crater outside, leaving only some things that could be used in life. Suddenly, the entire cave became clean and refreshing.

Afterwards, Song Qingming set up a third-level spirit gathering array near the "Eye of the Spirit Spring" to concentrate the spiritual energy in the spring and raise it to the third-level mid-grade.

After feeling that the spiritual energy in the cave was sufficient to meet his daily cultivation needs, Song Qingming walked out with satisfaction.

Before leaving, Song Qingming set up an additional concealment magic circle at the entrance of the cave and left a talisman for transmitting sound over thousands of miles in case Luo Li and the others wanted to find him in the future. Then he took the initiative to leave the cave on "Black Cloud Island" and boarded a flying boat to the west.

It took almost a month in total to transform the "Heavenly Corpse Taoist" cave, which also meant that Song Qingming's trip to the East China Sea to cultivate immortals has taken almost two months.

Song Qingming hadn't been home for such a long time and was afraid that Huang Siyuan and the others at home would worry about him. After leaving "Black Cloud Island", he did not stay for too long and headed directly towards the Floating Cloud Mountains.

In the following time, Song Qingming quickened his journey and finally returned to "Qinghe County" smoothly after more than ten days.

Just after arriving outside the family's spiritual vein "Funiu Mountain", Song Qingming saw a beam of light flying towards him in the distance. Thinking that it was Huang Siyuan who saw him coming back to greet him, he stopped the "Phantom Boat" under his feet.

After this familiar light came to Song Qingming's side, it quickly transformed into a woman in green clothes. She smiled at Song Qingming and said:

"Seventh Brother! We haven't seen each other for many years. Do you miss me?"

"What are you asking? You've been gone for so many years without sending a message home. How can your sister-in-law and I not be worried about you?"

When Song Qingming saw that the person who came to greet him was Song Qingyu, who had been traveling for many years, an expression of surprise and joy appeared on his face.

Almost ten years have passed since Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi traveled to the East China Sea together, and Song Qingyu's cultivation has also broken through from the fourth level of Golden Core to the fifth level of Golden Core.

After taking a closer look at Song Qingyu in front of him, Song Qingming nodded with some satisfaction and said, "Your cultivation has improved a lot after this trip outside. It seems that you have gained a lot."

"Of course, but no matter how fast my cultivation improves, it is still far behind Brother Seven. Congratulations to Brother Seven for breaking through to the late Jindan stage. It seems that I will have to follow behind you and benefit from your achievements in the future."

After receiving Song Qingming's affirmation, Song Qingyu first showed a look of joy, and then stepped forward and bowed to congratulate Song Qingming, whose cultivation had also broken through to the seventh level of the Golden Core.

"Seventh brother has just returned from the East China Sea and he must have been exhausted. Come with me and have a rest. I have asked someone to notify my sister-in-law."

After the two men stood in mid-air and congratulated each other for a few words, they returned to the top of "Funiu Mountain" under the leadership of Song Qingyu and walked towards the family's "Huixian Pavilion".

"Qingyu, did Senior Sister Li come back with you this time, or has she already returned to Donghuang Country?"

"Junior Brother Song, are you still so anxious for me to return?"

Just as he walked to the door of the family's "Huixian Pavilion", Li Xuanyi and Song Qingming suddenly thought of his mind, so he asked Song Qingyu who was standing beside him.

Before Song Qingyu could answer, an unpleasant voice came from in front of them, causing Song Qingming, who had just looked happy, to look a little embarrassed.

Seeing Li Xuanyi in white, staring at him calmly, Song Qingming smiled helplessly and immediately stepped forward and bowed to him.

"What are you talking about, Senior Sister Li? I just asked anxiously because I was worried that you had left without saying goodbye. Please don't misunderstand me.

Senior sister, you just came back from the East China Sea. You can rest here for a while. When you want to go back one day, I will go back to the sect with you, and you can visit Master by the way."

Hearing the meaning of Song Qingming's words, Li Xuanyi also knew that Song Qingming was still a little worried about his safety, so he wanted to send him back personally. He smiled and said:

"Well! Junior Brother, what you said is more or less true, but don't worry, I have been out for so long and it is almost time for me to go back.

If you are not in a hurry, I will stay with you for a few more days. If you really can't wait and want to go back to the sect, we can set off tomorrow.

I won't make it difficult for you this time. It depends on your own ideas."

Hearing this, Song Qingming immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I don't have any urgent matters, it's okay to wait a little longer.

If you like my Funiushan Mountain, Senior Sister Li, you can treat it as your own home. Feel free to stay for a while, and then let Qingyu accompany you to have a good look around."

"Haha! Senior sister, just rest assured and stay here. You have done a great favor to our Song family. How could Seventh Brother not like you being here? He is just a little tongue-tied, so please don't mind it, Senior sister.

I want to take you to Taiyue Lake in a few days. The scenery there is no worse than that of the East China Sea. I promise you won’t be disappointed.”

Seeing that Li Xuanyi and Song Qingming always misunderstood each other whenever they met, Song Qingyu looked a little helpless, and quickly stepped forward to help smooth things over and change the subject.

After hearing Song Qingyu's words, Li Xuanyi's face finally lost its previous displeasure, and he smiled and nodded, saying, "Well! Well, it's settled, we'll go to Taiyue Lake together in a few days.

Qingyu is good at talking and knows what I like, unlike Junior Brother Song, who always likes to say things that you don’t like to hear when we meet. Can you blame me for misunderstanding you? "

Li Xuanyi responded happily, and did not forget to criticize Song Qingming who was standing beside him. Then he pulled Song Qingyu and walked into the "Huixian Pavilion" while talking and laughing.

Seeing this, Song Qingming helplessly revealed a bitter smile on his face.

Song Qingming was always worried about Li Xuanyi's safety. It wasn't that he really liked to meddle in other people's affairs, but he had already promised his master "Taoist Lingxu" to take care of his senior sister Li Xuanyi, so he couldn't help but care about her affairs.

Although he knew that Li Xuanyi didn't like this, Song Qingming didn't have any other good solutions. (End of this chapter)
