Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Upon hearing that the secret method Song Qingming passed on to them could actually help in forming the elixir, Song Changze and the other two showed some surprise on their faces.

As they were able to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building, they had naturally heard of various methods in the world of immortal cultivation to increase the success rate of forming a pill.

In addition to the five elements spiritual objects and auxiliary elixirs such as "Jade Dust Pill", the greatest help to cultivators in reaching the Golden Elixir realm is the various secret methods of assisting in forming the elixir that the major sects will not pass on to others.

The Song family has only been a Jindan family for over a hundred years, and Song Qingming and the other two have never revealed the "Guiyuan Technique" to anyone else. Although they are the foundation-building elders of the Song family, they have never thought that the family has a secret method to assist in forming the elixir.

After all, this kind of secret method of forming an elixir is usually possessed by large Yuanying sects like the "Xiaoyao Sect" or other Jindan forces with profound cultural heritage. It is extremely unlikely for a cultivation force like the Song family, which has only advanced to the Jindan Immortal Clan for more than a hundred years, to possess it.

In recent years, several ancestors of the Song family have succeeded in forming pills one after another. Outsiders have been discussing that the Song family's luck is really too good. Most of the people including Song Changze actually think so too.

It was not until this moment when they saw Song Qingming take out the secret method of "Guiyuan Technique" that Song Changze and the others realized that forming a pill was far from being successful by luck alone, and the Song family's foundation was not as simple as they thought.

After taking the "Guiyuan Technique" from Song Qingming, Song Changze and the other two were very excited.

Especially Liu Yuxin, who married into the Song family, was extremely moved when she saw that Song Qingming and the other two did not treat her as an outsider. They passed on the family's vital secret method of forming an elixir to her and also wanted to support her in forming an elixir. She shed a few tears unconsciously.

Seeing Liu Yuxin so excited, Song Qingyu immediately spoke to comfort her: "Yuxin, you are one of us now that you have married into the Song family. You don't have to worry about these things.

But you must remember what Seventh Brother said just now. This secret method is related to the foundation of our family. It is also the foundation of our Song family's future. The news about the secret method must never be spread or leaked.

Even if you meet your master in the future, you must not tell Sister He about this. You should be able to do this, right? "

"Please rest assured, Grandpa. Yuxin knows the seriousness of the matter and will never disclose family secrets to outsiders." Hearing Song Qingyu's instructions, Liu Yuxin nodded hurriedly.

Afterwards, she, Song Changze, and Song Yuanhao swore an oath in front of the three family ancestors that they would never reveal any information about the secret method of "Guiyuan Technique" to outsiders. Only then did Song Qingming and others feel relieved.

“You three all have the hope of forming a pill in the future, but forming a pill is not that easy. Even with the help of this secret method, it can only increase the chance of success.

Whether you can reach that step or not depends on your personal opportunities in the future, and it is not something we can force.

But don't worry, as long as the three of us are here, the family will definitely be able to support you when you form your Dan in the future. Even if you are not as good as the core disciples of the big sects, you will still be much better than other people outside.

I have marked the points that you need to pay attention to when practicing this secret method. You must practice diligently in the future and never slack off. If you have any questions, you can come to the top of the mountain and ask us at any time."

"Thank you, ancestor!"

After hearing Song Qingming's instructions, the three of them nodded in thanks, and then at the signal of several ancestors, they happily left the "Huixian Pavilion" together.

After leaving the top of the mountain, Song Yuanhao did not rush back to his cave, but came to the cemetery in the back mountain to visit his parents and his ninth uncle Song Xintang who were buried there.

Song Yuanhao's mother, Chen Yanyun, has been very well taken care of by her family since she brought her son back to "Funiu Mountain". They have lived a relatively comfortable life in the mountains over the years.

It was not until twenty years ago that Chen Yanyun, who was already over 120 years old, reached the end of his life and passed away peacefully in his home.

As Song Xinhe's wife, Chen Yanyun was able to raise her son and see Song Yuanhao successfully build his foundation. She has fulfilled her promise to her husband in this life.

The only regret is that I didn’t get to see Song Yuanhao get married and start a family.

When Song Yuanhao had just successfully established his foundation, Chen Yanyun took the initiative to find Song Qingming and others, wanting them to help introduce a Taoist partner to Song Yuanhao so that he could start a family sooner.

However, Song Yuanhao has never had any ideas in this regard. He has focused all his attention on cultivation. Over the years, he has been delaying this matter again and again and has always been working alone.

Standing in front of his mother's tombstone at this moment, thinking of the instructions his mother Chen Yanyun had given him all those years ago, Song Yuanhao could only sigh slightly, wondering when he would be able to complete what he had promised her.

Just as Song Yuanhao was sitting in front of the tombstone, paying tribute to his parents, a woman in her twenties from the Song family's "Lin" generation hurriedly walked towards him.

"Uncle Yuanhao, my eighth uncle just sent a message saying that someone is looking for you at the foot of the mountain!"

"Who is looking for me and where is I?" When Song Yuanhao heard that someone was looking for him, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked with some confusion.

Song Yuanhao has always been a rather introverted person in the clan. After establishing his foundation, he has been concentrating on cultivation in the years since then and seldom makes friends outside. Even in "Qinghe County", there are not many people who are familiar with him and can be considered his friends.

Hearing Song Yuanhao's question, the visitor shook his head and said, "Eighth Uncle doesn't know him either. He only said that the visitor's surname is Xu, and he is your friend who seems to have come to visit my uncle on purpose."

"My friend, surnamed Xu?"

After hearing the other party's explanation, Song Yuanhao's face became more puzzled. After thinking for a long time, he nodded to the visitor and said, "Okay, I understand. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go down and take a look later."

After throwing the remaining paper money in his hand into the fire, Song Yuanhao bowed and paid homage in front of his mother's tombstone before turning around and leaving the family cemetery behind the mountain and walking down the mountain.

A moment later, Song Yuanhao's figure appeared at the foot of the mountain. Seeing the family ancestor suddenly appear, several Song family monks guarding the mountain gate hurried forward and bowed.

"Meet the elder!"

Song Yuanhao nodded slightly, glanced around, and then asked the few people directly: "Didn't someone say someone was looking for me? Why are only you guys here?"

"Reporting to the elder, a man did come here just now and said he wanted to see you. After we sent a message to the mountain, he went there and said he was waiting for you there."

The one who responded was a Song family cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, and after that he pointed his finger directly at a small hill not far from the mountain gate.

Song Yuanhao nodded when he heard it, and without saying anything more, he walked straight towards the hill. After a while, he came to a bluestone on the hillside, where he saw a man wearing a bamboo hat and white clothes.

"Are you looking for me?"

When the man in white heard Song Yuanhao's question, he took off his bamboo hat, revealing the pretty face of a young woman, and smiled at Song Yuanhao:
"It's only been ten years since we last met, could it be that Brother Song has already forgotten me?"

"It's you. Why are you here in Weiguo?" Seeing the woman in white in front of him, Song Yuanhao was a little surprised, but he quickly recovered and a smile appeared on his face.

More than ten years ago, when Song Yuanhao left his family to gain experience, he unfortunately encountered a tough opponent when competing for spiritual objects in a secret place in Song State.

Although Song Yuanhao managed to get rid of his opponent later with the help of a second-grade top-grade talisman in his hand, he was already seriously injured at that time and could no longer use his magic power to fight the enemy. He could only find a hidden place to hide and heal his wounds.

At this time, Song Yuanhao met a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had also entered the secret realm to search for spiritual objects.

Although the two did not know each other, this person did not take advantage of Song Yuanhao who was seriously injured at the time. Instead, he gave the other party some healing pills and helped Song Yuanhao overcome the crisis.

Later, after coming out of the secret realm, the two became good friends and often drank tea and discussed philosophy together.

The woman in white who came to visit Song Yuanhao was none other than the wandering cultivator who had helped Song Yuanhao in the secret realm back then. This was why Song Yuanhao was so surprised to see her.

In order to thank the other party for his help, Song Yuanhao once told the other party his identity, and he also knew that the woman in white was surnamed Xu.

However, Song State was located in the eastern part of the Floating Cloud Mountains, tens of thousands of miles away from Wei State in the west. The cultivators from both sides rarely had exchanges with each other. After Song Yuanhao returned to his family, he had not heard any news about the woman in white for ten years.

When he heard on the mountain that his good friend who was coming to visit him was named Xu, Song Yuanhao immediately thought of the woman in white, the person who had done him a favor. However, he was not quite sure in his heart until he saw the figure of the woman in white at this moment, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Seeing that Song Yuanhao recognized her at a glance, the woman in white was very happy. She stepped forward, bowed, and saluted to him with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Song has not only recovered from his injuries, but has also made great progress in his cultivation. He has already broken through to the late stage of foundation building. This is truly a cause for celebration."

"You are too polite, Fellow Daoist Xu. I just heard someone was visiting me on the mountain. I never thought it was you who was visiting me. I hope you will forgive me for my negligence."

When the two met, they were already good friends who enjoyed talking to each other. They were very happy to meet again and talked about some of their experiences in Song State.

After chatting with each other for a while, Song Yuanhao bowed to the woman in white and invited her:

"It's been many years since we last met. It's a rare opportunity that Daoist Xu specially came to Funiushan to see me today. I hope Daoist Xu can come with me to the mountain to taste a few cups of spiritual tea. I can also treat you."

The woman in white did not rush to agree to the other party's words, but hesitantly bowed to Song Yuanhao and said, "When you left, you said you owed me a favor. I wonder if you still keep your promise?"

When Song Yuanhao heard the woman in white mention the promise he had made, he was slightly stunned, then immediately nodded and said, "Of course, what I said counts.

Daoyou Xu, if you want me to help you with anything, just tell me. As long as I am capable of doing it, I will never refuse you! "Hearing Song Yuanhao's answer, the white-clothed woman slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a black wooden box from her body and handed it to Song Yuanhao.

"Fellow Daoist Song, this is a third-level lower-grade spiritual talisman that my master left me. I want to use this talisman to exchange for a third-level healing pill from you. I hope that fellow Daoist can help me today!"

"Level 3 healing pills? I don't think Fellow Daoist Xu is injured, so why does he need such a high-level healing pill?"

After hearing what the woman in white asked for, Song Yuanhao looked her up carefully and asked with some confusion.

Seeing this, the woman in white sighed and then slowly explained, "To be honest, this pill is not for me. One of my senior sisters was seriously injured and has not recovered.

In the past six months or so, we have visited many markets but have not found any suitable healing elixirs. Later, I heard that your Song family has a third-level alchemist, so I brought my senior sister to Weiguo to ask for your help.

Fellow Daoist Song, if you can help me once, I will remember your favor. If you need any help in the future, just tell me directly."

When the woman in white said this, she still looked a little nervous, as if she was afraid that Song Yuanhao would directly reject her request.

Seeing this, Song Yuanhao waved his hand and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, Daoist friend? It was because you helped me in the beginning that I owe you a favor.

Fellow Taoist has come all the way to see me today, so naturally I should repay this favor. I, Song Yuanhao, am by no means an ungrateful person, so how could I use this as an opportunity to ask for a favor from you, Taoist?

However, I don't have the elixir that you need. I can ask the ancestor for you about this matter.

Don't worry, my fellow Taoist. My family has always been kind to others. If the ancestor has it, I will certainly help you get it. If the family does not have it, I will help you think of other ways.

Daoist friend, please keep this talisman and follow me up the mountain!"

After Song Yuanhao finished speaking, he returned the wooden box in his hand to the other party, waiting for the other party's answer with a hint of anticipation on his face.

"Well, that's good. I'd like to thank you, fellow Taoist." Seeing this, the woman in white thought for a moment, then took back the wooden box and nodded in agreement.

The two walked and talked as they went up the mountain. Song Yuanhao led the way and introduced the scenery of the mountain to the woman in white.

This also made the woman in white, who came to the Song family for the first time, look more relaxed after seeing the beautiful scenery around "Funiu Mountain".

Song Yuanhao has been devoted to cultivation in the clan over the years and has not liked to interact with others. He always acts aloof in front of the younger generation of the family and rarely takes the initiative to talk to others.

Seeing Song Yuanhao happily chatting with the white jade girl in the distance, several Song family disciples who were guarding the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain all showed some confusion on their faces.

"Uncle Jiu, who is this senior? How come I have never heard that Uncle Yuan Hao has such a friend?"

"Yes, I have been in the mountains for so many years, but this is the first time I see Uncle Yuanhao so happy. Who is this person that he can be welcomed by such a smiling face."

The leading middle-aged man of the Song family named "Xuan" was also very surprised at this moment. Hearing the questions from the two younger generations, he could only smile and shake his head and replied:

"This is not the first time I've met her either, so how would I know her identity? If you want to know so much, why not go and ask Uncle Yuan Hao directly? He might be happy to tell you right away."

Hearing the suggestion of the elder in front of them, Song Yuanhao's originally cold face immediately appeared in their minds, and they instinctively shook their heads.

"Haha! Uncle Jiu, you are really good at joking. We are just asking out of curiosity. How dare we really ask about Yuan Hao's great-uncle?
It is better to be careful with your words, lest you be sent to Yinfeng Ridge to mine, and then it will be too late to regret it."

After bringing the woman in white to his cave and settling her down, Song Yuanhao went straight to the top of the mountain to find the family ancestor Huang Siyuan to inquire about the news of high-level healing pills.

It was not until half an hour later that Song Yuanhao returned to the cave with a happy face and brought the good news that the woman in white who was waiting anxiously wanted.

"Fellow Daoist Song, how is it going? Is there any hope of exchanging it for elixirs?"

Seeing Song Yuanhao return, the woman in white hurried forward and asked nervously, until she saw Song Yuanhao nodded to her directly, the woman in white was completely relieved.

"I just went to see the old ancestor. She happened to have a third-level recovery pill in her hand, and she asked me to take you to see her now. Don't be nervous. Just tell me what you want to say later."

"Well! Now that we are here, I will naturally listen to you. Please take me there quickly, so as not to keep you waiting for too long!"

Song Yuanhao nodded slightly, and walked out of the cave with the woman in white. Then the two of them walked all the way to the top of the mountain, and soon arrived at the third floor of the family's "Huixian Pavilion", where they met Huang Siyuan who had been waiting there.

However, what surprised Song Yuanhao was that when he left here not long ago, Huang Siyuan was the only one here. He didn't know when Song Qingming came here and was talking to Huang Siyuan at the moment.

Seeing Song Yuanhao walking in with the woman in white, the two men just glanced at Song Yuanhao and immediately turned their attention to the woman in white beside him.

Seeing that Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were staring at her, the woman in white, who had been calm, became a little nervous at this moment. She hurried forward and bowed, saying:
"Junior Xu Qingyin greets the two seniors!"

"No need to be polite when a distinguished guest comes. You get up first."

Seeing Xu Qingyin bowing, Huang Siyuan waved her hand quickly, and waited until Xu Qingyin stood up before continuing with a smile, "Yuan Hao just told me what Fellow Daoist Xu wanted today.

I do have a third-level recovery pill here that can meet your needs. Since you have done Yuan Hao a favor, it is not impossible for me to give you a favor.

However, before that, I have a few more questions. As long as your answers satisfy us, this pill will be yours today."

Hearing Huang Siyuan's words, Xu Qingyin quickly nodded and replied: "Senior, feel free to ask me any questions you have. As long as I know something, I will never intentionally lie."

"Well then! Where did Fellow Daoist Xu come from? Which sect did you learn from? Is there any relationship between you and the Hunyuan Sect of Song State?"

"Senior, you may not know that although I have practiced in Song Country for many years, I did not enter the Dao in Song Country, and I have no connection with Hunyuan Sect. As for my master, she was just a casual foundation-building cultivator, and she passed away decades ago."

When Xu Qingyin heard Huang Siyuan asking about her master's origins, she immediately understood that the other party wanted to find out about her background.

Faced with the questions of the two Jindan cultivators, Xu Qingyin, who had come to ask for help, did not dare to hide anything and directly told them his background in detail in person.

Xu Qingyin's master was originally a cultivator from a Jindan sect in Lieshan State, which is adjacent to Song State. She had just successfully established her foundation two hundred years ago, but unfortunately she encountered turmoil in the sect.

At that time, her master was forced to leave the sect and become a casual cultivator because she stood on the wrong side. Xu Qingyin was a disciple she accidentally accepted after she became a casual cultivator.

Decades ago, Xu Qingyin's master offended a powerful enemy. In order to avoid the other party's revenge, he took Xu Qingyin and several other disciples to leave Lieshan Kingdom and go to Song Kingdom to practice.

Over the years, with the passing of her master and other fellow disciples, Xu Qingyin was left with only a senior sister who had successfully established her foundation earlier than her. Her success in establishing her foundation was largely due to the support of this senior sister.

Half a year ago, Senior Sister Xu Qingyin Li Xiuning and her Taoist companions went to Taiyue Lake to hunt monsters. Unfortunately, they encountered a Jindan-stage monster king. Almost all of them died at the hands of the monster king, and only Li Xiuning managed to escape.

However, although Li Xiuning saved her life, her meridians were severely damaged. She took a lot of elixirs, but her injuries not only failed to recover but became more serious.

For this reason, Xu Qingyin, who was worried about her senior sister's injuries, could only look everywhere for high-level healing pills, hoping to help Li Xiuning recover from her injuries as soon as possible.

Although she and Li Xiuning were both foundation-building cultivators, they were just casual cultivators. They didn't know any high-level alchemists outside, nor did they have any connections that could bring them into contact with high-ranking Jindan cultivators.

After leaving Song State, Xu Qingyin and the other person went to several neighboring countries, but were unable to find a way to exchange for high-level healing pills.

Finally, when they arrived near the State of Wu, Xu Qingyin remembered that Song Yuanhao had told her that the Song family had a third-level alchemist. So she brought Li Xiuning to the State of Wei, hoping to try her luck in "Funiu Mountain" to see if she could find any high-level healing pills.

"Two seniors, everything I just said is true. If I said even one lie, I will be punished by the heavens and never make any progress in my cultivation for the rest of my life."

Seeing Xu Qingyin swearing on the spot, Song Yuanhao, who was standing beside him, immediately stepped forward and bowed and said, "Ancestor, when I met Fellow Daoist Xu, I also knew a little about her situation.

I am willing to guarantee that Fellow Daoist Xu has absolutely no connection with the Song State Hunyuan Sect."

Seeing the worry on Song Yuanhao's face, Song Qingming, who was sitting next to him, waved his hand and said, "You guys should get up first. There's no need to do this.

The reason I asked a question just now was because our Wei State has a special relationship with the Hunyuan Sect of Song State. I was afraid that Fellow Daoist Xu might have some connection with them and cause some misunderstandings in the future, so I asked a few questions in advance.

Since you have nothing to do with Hunyuan Sect, let’s just leave it at that. There is no need to say more.” (End of this chapter)
