Qinghe Immortal Clan.

The territory from "Jinshanfang" to "Baishiling" is thousands of miles in radius, which is as big as two Pingyang counties. Such a large area is now full of human cultivators, and there are few traces of monsters above level two.

In the future, as long as the Song family slowly clears out the low-level monsters in the territory and develops slowly, the family territory can be directly doubled. At least in the short term, they don't have to worry about the lack of sacred mountains in the territory like they do now.

After listening to Song Changze's report, Song Qingming nodded slightly and said:

"Well! Since everything is almost ready, send a message to the family and ask Yuan Fang and the others to prepare. You go back in person in a few days and transport the first batch of mortals as soon as possible.

Also, take Xuande and the others with you, and do some exploration on all the second-level sacred mountains to see where there are mineral veins nearby. We need to hurry up on this matter, or those people below will take advantage of it.”

Upon hearing this, Song Changze immediately bowed and said, "Don't worry, clan leader. When Xuande and the others come, I will personally accompany them. There will definitely be no problems."

"Well! I'll leave this matter to you. I'll be here recently. If you find anything, come and let me know in time."

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave the hall, but he noticed Song Changze standing beside him, with a look of wanting to say something but stopping himself, as if he had something else to say, so he spoke directly to him:

"Changze, there are no outsiders here. If there is anything that is not clear to you, just ask directly!"

Seeing that Song Qingming saw through his thoughts, Song Changze nodded awkwardly and said, "Seventh Uncle, this is actually not my own business. Xuan Ting sent me a message a few days ago asking me to help ask you what you think.

A few days ago, Li Chengyue came to him and wanted to obtain the spiritual vein of Hongyue Ridge. He asked him to help ask you if you could hand over the spiritual vein to the Li family when the time comes.

Li Chengyue agreed and said that if the family agreed, the Li family would be willing to exchange a foundation-building pill plus half of the shares of Chiyanfang for this spiritual vein. "

After Song Changze finished speaking, he glanced at Song Qingming's face with some worry, and found that just as he had expected, Song Qingming's expression looked a little unhappy.

"The family will have its own way of allocating the spiritual veins. Just let Li Chengyue go directly to Yuan Fang for this matter. If there is such a thing in the future, don't come to us directly to pass on the message.

Later, you tell Xuan Ting that the matter between the Li family and Funiushan should be avoided as much as possible in the future. The family has its own rules, which cannot be changed arbitrarily because of an individual. Otherwise, everyone will come to the door to seek connections, and what will happen to the family in the future? "

After hearing Song Qingming's reply, Song Changze, who was still a little embarrassed, nodded quickly and dared not say anything more. It was not until he watched the family ancestor in front of him walk out of the hall that he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've already told you that the ancestor doesn't like you to get involved in other families' affairs. I told you not to help Xuan Ting, but you refused to listen. You feel better now that I've been scolded, don't you?"

Seeing a trace of regret on Song Changze's face, Liu Yuxin on the side couldn't help but scold him again, feeling helpless about Song Changze's behavior just now.

"I also know that the old ancestor doesn't like to hear this. This isn't the first time Xuan Ting has come to me for help. How can I, as an elder, reject him directly? I know you're unhappy, but isn't there anything I can do about it?

Anyway, whoever said that would be scolded, I took the responsibility for Xuan Ting this time, just think of it as my uncle taking care of him. "

Song Changze, who had already felt some regret in his heart, felt a little embarrassed by what his wife said at this moment. He sighed with a self-deprecating look on his face.

After Song Xuanting established his foundation, he entered into an alliance with the Li family of "Cuilong Mountain" with the help of Song Yuanfang, and married a younger niece of Li Chengyue as his Taoist partner. Because of this relationship, he was naturally closer to the Li family.

This time, following the Song family to expand their territory, the Li family set their sights on the "Red Moon Ridge", one of the dozen or so second-level spiritual veins near the "White Lion Ridge". They wanted to use Song Xuanting's relationship to inquire about this matter with the Song family in advance to see if they could take over this second-level superior spiritual vein in advance.

Faced with Li Chengyue's initiative to ask for help, Song Xuanting couldn't refuse due to the relationship between the two parties, so he agreed to help the Li family inquire about the matter.

However, although Song Xuanting is the family's foundation-building elder, his relationship with Song Qingming and the three Jindan ancestors is relatively ordinary, and he cannot find any good opportunity to ask Song Qingming about this matter alone.

On the "White Lion Ridge" side, the ones who are currently close to several ancestors of the family and have a say are Song Changze and his wife, so Song Xuanting came to them for help.

Liu Yuxin has been married into the Song family for so many years, and she has long been very familiar with the tempers of Song Qingming and others. After knowing that Song Xuanting had approached Song Changze, she wanted to remind him not to interfere in the matter, but Song Changze still spoke out loud.

Liu Yuxin could only smile bitterly at her husband who always liked to think of others. She knew that he was kind-hearted and always cared about the people around him, but this kind of character would always cause him to suffer.

After setting up the mountain protection formation, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu stayed in "White Lion Ridge" to take charge, and asked Huang Siyuan, who still had a lot of alchemy tasks to complete, to return to "Funiu Mountain" first.

The news that the human cultivators had won a great victory in capturing the "White Lion Ridge" soon reached the ears of many demon kings near the "Golden Feather Mountain".

Although the "White Rhino Demon King" was an alien demon king and not a direct descendant of Jinyu Mountain, after it settled in "White Lion Ridge", it, like many other demon kings around it, took the initiative to submit to Jinyu Mountain and was placed under the command of the great demon king, the Giant Elephant Demon King.

After the two demon kings, White Egret and Black Armor, failed in their efforts to support "White Lion Ridge", they quickly confirmed that the "White Rhino Demon King" had been killed by human cultivators.

It was thought that the Song family went deep into the Floating Cloud Mountains to encircle and kill the "White Rhino Demon King" just to avenge its previous attack on "Jinshanfang". After the two demon kings fled back to their lair, they thought that Song Qingming and others would immediately retreat south to "Jinshanfang" after looting Lingshan.

Unexpectedly, after the Song family killed the "White Rhino Demon King", they did not leave, but built houses on the mountain, intending to stay there for a long time.

Seeing this, the two demon kings knew that the other party was coming to seize their territory, so they immediately informed their patron, the "Colossus Demon King", about the matter.

Upon learning that the human cultivators had actually gone deep into the Floating Cloud Mountains to surround and kill the demon king under his command, the "Giant Elephant Demon King" became extremely furious. A few days later, he personally brought two demon kings with him to the "White Lion Ridge" again.

Although Huang Siyuan had already returned to "Funiu Mountain", Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, with the support of the mountain protection formation, were not at all afraid of facing the three demon kings. They even took the initiative to come out and fight a fierce battle with them outside the formation.

The "Giant Elephant Demon King" had fought with Song Qingming during the monster riot. Both sides were very familiar with each other's magical powers.

However, Song Qingming's cultivation was still at the sixth level of the Golden Core at that time. He could only barely cope with the "Giant Elephant Demon King" in the late Golden Core stage, and had no way to defeat his opponent.

But decades later, Song Qingming's cultivation has now advanced to the seventh level of Golden Core, and he has several more powerful magical powers and magic weapons. When the two fought again, Song Qingming was able to gain the upper hand over his old opponent.

Song Qingyu faced the two demon kings, Bai Lu and Hei Jia, alone and fought them with ease. With just one sword, he blocked the two demon kings outside the formation.

The two sides fought for a long time. Not only did the "Giant Elephant Demon King" and his men fail to gain any advantage, but in the end, the "White Egret Demon King" almost died at the hands of Song Qingming and his men.

Seeing that he could not defeat the opponent, the "Giant Elephant Demon King" who fled back to the north took the initiative to come to Jinyu Mountain, wanting to ask the "Black Dragon Demon King" to send troops to help, and help drive Song Qingming and others back to the south of "Jinshanfang".

Unexpectedly, this time the "Giant Elephant Demon King" took the initiative to come, but was turned away at the "Golden Feather Mountain". He happened to meet the "Black Dragon Demon King" who was in seclusion for cultivation, and only saw his confidant the "Golden Tiger Demon King".

Faced with the "Giant Elephant Demon King's" request for help, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" who did not receive any orders from the Demon King simply comforted him and did not agree to send troops to help him.

Only after sending away the "Giant Elephant Demon King" did the "Golden Tiger Demon King" turn around and come to a cave on the top of the mountain, where he met the "Black Dragon Demon King" who was in seclusion.

"Grandmaster, I have sent the giant elephant back. I heard from him that the Song family has taken over White Lion Ridge and they are not planning to leave. They have also set up a magic array on the mountain. Do you think we should send troops to drive them back?"

"Hurry back? How? Do you think Xiaoyao Sect doesn't know about the Song family's actions? I'm afraid that when you get to White Lion Ridge, Xiaoyao Sect's people will be waiting there."

Hearing the question from the "Golden Tiger Demon King", the "Black Dragon Demon King" raised his hand and gathered the magic power scattered around his body, then stood up.

"Last time we were defeated in Guiyunfang and suffered heavy losses. Xiaoyao Sect has now recovered and will definitely not let us go easily. If I am not mistaken, the Song family's dispatch of troops this time should be their first step to test us.

At present, our strength is not much greater than that of Xiaoyao Sect. If we send troops rashly, we will not gain any advantage and will easily fall into an ambush by those cunning human cultivators.

Now is not the best time for us to launch a full-scale war. There is no need to start a war with them in advance for a small White Lion Ridge. Let's wait until we find help!"

After the last defeat, the "Jinyu Mountain" demon clan suffered severe damage. More than half of their low-level monsters were killed or injured, and even seven or eight Jindan demon kings were killed in the battle.

Although some monsters have been recruited from the northern border in recent years, their current strength is still incomparable to that before the monster turmoil. It will take hundreds of years for them to slowly recover.

As a close confidant of the "Black Dragon Demon King", the Golden Tiger Demon King also knew the current unfavorable situation of "Golden Feather Mountain", and he did not question the decision of the "Black Dragon Demon King" too much.

However, now that the human cultivators have begun to expand northward, they have also killed the White Rhino Demon King under the command of the Giant Elephant Demon King. As the supporter of the nearby demon tribe, it would be unreasonable for the "Golden Feather Mountain" to ignore this matter. After hesitating for a moment, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" still bit the bullet and asked: "Ancestor, how should we respond to the Giant Elephant? If we just ignore it, I'm afraid he will be disappointed with us in the future."

Upon hearing this, the "Molong Demon King" sighed and said, "After all, he is a great demon king in the late Jindan stage who has practiced for thousands of years. He can't even defeat the small Song family. I handed over the entire Northeast to him in vain. He is such a waste.

They have no ability and only know how to come here to ask us for help. We know to send troops to support them. The people in the Xiaoyao Sect are not fools. How can they sit back and watch us take action? You can't let me, the Nascent Soul Ancestor, take action to deal with them.

If that were the case, the Song family would not have the courage to attack our demon clan’s territory to the north.

It's just a third-level lower-grade spiritual mountain that was lost. It's not like his Giant Spirit Peak is gone. Why be so short-sighted?

Later, you can send a magic weapon to Giant Spirit Peak to appease the giant elephant, and tell it not to worry. Once we have accumulated enough strength, we will fight back to the south sooner or later. By then, you will have as many sacred mountains as you want.

Also, tell all the demon kings near the south that Xiaoyao Sect might have other moves recently, and ask them to be careful and not give human cultivators an opportunity to take advantage of them like this again."

"Ancestor is wise, just leave this matter to me. Don't worry, I will pacify the giant elephant." After hearing the explanation of the "Black Dragon Demon King", the Golden Tiger Demon King quickly nodded and agreed to the matter.

The Song family moved north and occupied the "White Lion Ridge", which meant that the "Giant Elephant Demon King" entrenched in the east lost some territory, but it did not have much impact on the entire Jinyu Mountain demon clan.

In his heart, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the "White Lion Ridge", but it would be a bit unreasonable not to give an explanation when someone came to his door.

Song Qingming, who was far away in "White Lion Ridge", had actually anticipated that the "Black Dragon Demon King" would choose not to interfere in the matter. This was also the biggest reason why he dared to take action against "White Lion Ridge".

When expanding the territory to the north this time, Song Qingming first went to "Guyang Mountain" in person. After obtaining the support of the sect, he felt at ease to gather people to attack "White Lion Ridge".

After the last monster riot, the "Jinyu Mountain" monster army suffered heavy losses after failing to attack "Guiyunfang". More than half of its monster army was killed or injured before they were able to withdraw to the Floating Cloud Mountains.

After the battle, the monsters of "Jinyu Mountain" no longer have any advantage over the "Xiaoyao Sect". The human cultivators have also long wanted to counterattack the monsters to seek revenge.

The "Black Dragon Demon King" was short of manpower, so he had to recruit a group of monsters with varying strengths from the northern border to strengthen the already somewhat empty defenses outside Jinyu Mountain.

Now the "Golden Feather Mountain" demon clan is still in danger. As long as the "Black Dragon Demon King" is smart, he will not go to war with the Xiaoyao Sect for a small "White Lion Ridge" at this time.

At most, they would give some support behind the scenes to see if the "Giant Elephant Demon King" had the ability to recapture Lingshan by himself. It would absolutely not be possible for him to send out the main force of the demon beast army.

After Song Qingming and his companions conquered "White Lion Ridge", they had already set up a third-level "mountain protection formation". Without five or six demon kings above the middle Jindan stage attacking at the same time, there would be no chance of retaking this sacred mountain.

The three Jindan cultivators of the Song family were more than enough to deal with the "Giant Elephant Demon King" and the army of monsters under his command, without the need for help from others.

If the "Jinyu Mountain" demon army dares to go south for large-scale support, the "Xiaoyao Sect" behind the Song family will definitely not sit idly by, and the demon army will not gain any benefits at that time.

After receiving clear instructions from the "Black Dragon Demon King", the "Golden Tiger Demon King" went to the Giant Spirit Peak in person a few days later and comforted the wronged "Giant Elephant Demon King".

Knowing that Jinyu Mountain does not want to go to war with the human race now, the "Giant Elephant Demon King" is unwilling but helpless. Without the help of "Jinyu Mountain", they cannot drive away Song Qingming and others by themselves. In the end, they can only bear the consequences.

Although he knew that "Golden Feather Mountain" would most likely not send troops to support the "Giant Elephant Demon King" and his men, Song Qingming did not relax his vigilance and continued to stay on "White Lion Ridge" with Song Qingyu.

Soon, more than half a year passed. Just as Song Qingming had expected, there was no movement on Jinyu Mountain. Except for going south a few times to investigate, the "Giant Elephant Demon King" did not dare to go deep into the area and bring people to attack "White Lion Ridge" again.

More than half a year has passed, and the monsters in many sacred mountain territories near "White Lion Ridge" have basically been eliminated. Everyone has worked hard for more than half a year, and now it is time to reward them.

Seeing that the situation on "White Lion Ridge" was gradually stabilizing, Song Qingming took the time to lead some family monks back to "Funiu Mountain", leaving Song Qingyu, Song Changze and others to garrison on "White Lion Ridge".

The family had just conquered "White Lion Ridge" and expanded its territory to the north for thousands of miles. Not only did they have to reward and divide the territory according to merit, but they also had to arrange for cultivators and mortals to go and build and manage these spiritual veins.

In the past six months, Song Yuanfang, who was in charge of this matter in the rear, was very busy and overwhelmed. As soon as he heard the news that Song Qingming had returned to the family, he immediately went to the top of the mountain to find him.

"Seventh Uncle, these are the cultivators that Yuan Qian and his team have counted and will be rewarded after the war, as well as the merits of the major foundation-building families. Please take a look first. If there are no problems, I will let Changze and his team execute them directly.

Also, in recent months, many immortal cultivation families and independent cultivators from outside have come to ask for the low-level spiritual veins that we have newly occupied in the north.

There are simply too many people coming, and we only have a few spirit veins left, which are far from enough for them to share, so I can only distribute them based on merit.

This is a draft I drafted for the division of the new spiritual veins. Please take a look at what needs to be changed first, and I will consider it later."

Seeing the reward account handed over by Song Yuanfang, Song Qingming just glanced at it and nodded, agreeing to their arrangement.

The Song family has been promoted to a Jindan family for more than a hundred years, and the family's merit system has long been very complete. Song Qingming is relatively confident in Song Yuanfang and his team's handling of this matter.

After returning the merit account book to Song Yuanfang, Song Qingming turned his attention to the second list of spirit vein allocation in his hand.

This time, in addition to the third-level spiritual vein "White Lion Ridge", the Song family occupied a total of thirteen second-level and above spiritual veins and more than eighty first-level and above spiritual veins.

Some of these spiritual veins were previously developed by cultivators and then occupied by monsters and beasts; others were naturally occupied by monsters and beasts and were only recently conquered by human cultivators. Without exception, they are all excellent spiritual veins with environments that are more suitable for mortals to live in.

Knowing the news that the Song family had opened up so many new spiritual veins, all the immortal cultivation families within the Song family territory began to get restless, wanting to use merits or spiritual objects to exchange for better spiritual mountains for their families.

The most radical among them is the Li family, to which Li Chengyue belongs. The spiritual vein of the Li family's "Lotus Mountain" is only of the middle grade of the second level. With the rapid development of the family in recent years, the spiritual energy on the mountain has become insufficient.

He was just about to take this opportunity to seize a second-grade superior spiritual mountain near "White Lion Ridge", which would not only solve the problem of insufficient family spiritual veins, but also allow the Li family to follow the Song family to develop northward.

However, the spiritual vein "Red Moon Ridge" that the Li family wanted to exchange for was also coveted by several other foundation-building families, and the competition was very fierce.

After considering their offers, Song Yuanfang finally chose to exchange the spiritual vein to the Li family. However, the price they asked was much higher than what they had offered before. The Li family spent nearly 30,000 spirit stones to acquire this spiritual vein.

In addition to the immortal cultivation families under the Song family, many independent cultivation forces that lack spiritual veins for cultivation, as well as some foreign immortal cultivation families, have also come to "Funiu Mountain" and spent spirit stones to exchange for a spiritual vein they want from the Song family.

Even in the "Xiaoyao Sect", there were several foundation-building monks who had died on the road. They sent letters through others to ask if the Song family had any extra spiritual veins for them to settle their relatives and descendants.

All of them are old and have long lost the hope of breaking through to the golden elixir stage. They also have no background in the sect. Once they pass away in the future, their descendants will surely be ostracized like the ancestors of the Song family.

So he thought about whether he could exchange an estate for his relatives and descendants outside in advance, so that they would have a place to settle down in the future and would not have to live under someone else's roof and depend on others for their opinions.

Faced with these forces that wanted to join the Song family, Song Qingming was still quite concerned. He carefully checked each of the names above and unexpectedly saw a name that he was very familiar with, Bai Yunhua.

When Song Qingming saw this name, the other person's figure immediately appeared in his mind.

Thinking of the formation genius who had followed him to "Funiu Mountain" to help improve his spiritual veins, he couldn't help but sigh that time had passed so quickly. It had been almost two hundred years since they had met.

“Yuan Fang, I have some old acquaintances with this person, and he is also Yuan Rong’s master. The Rising Sun Peak Spiritual Vein he wants is a first-class upper-grade Spiritual Vein anyway, so just give it to him directly, and don’t ask him for the Spiritual Stones.

As for the others, I've taken a look and I don't think there's any major problem with them. Just do it according to your current expectations. If there's any change, please inform me by email.

Remember one thing, for those sacred mountains where Xuande and his team have discovered mineral veins, you must tell them in advance that they cannot be allowed to mine privately. If anyone disobeys, the mineral veins will be taken back on the spot."

"Okay! Uncle Seven, there is one more thing about Xuande's recent foundation building. I would like to ask for your opinion. Should the family continue to support him in building his foundation?" (End of this chapter)
