Chapter 754: Are You Satisfied? The Gilded Fruit Tree Is Promoted
After hearing what Song Qingming said, Xu Qingyin, who had no doubts about her answer, felt relieved and said:
"Thank you for your trust in me. I am only here to get the elixir to save people. I have no other ideas. I hope you two can help me."
Seeing this, Song Qingming nodded slightly and said, "Although a third-level low-grade spiritual talisman is still a little short of exchanging for a third-level recovery pill, you are still loyal to your fellow disciples and relatives and come to me for help, which shows that you have some loyalty.
Besides, you were kind to Yuan Hao in the past. Regardless of whether he made a promise to you or not, my Song family must repay this favor.
Don't worry, I have just sent someone to get the pills. Please wait here for a moment and I will give you the recovery pills in a while."
After getting Song Qingming's promise to exchange for the elixir, Xu Qingyin and Song Yuanhao both breathed a sigh of relief, and a bit of joy gradually appeared on their faces.
"I just made this spiritual tea. Please help me try it."
Seeing Xu Qingyin standing carefully aside, Huang Siyuan took out two teacups, poured a cup of spiritual tea for her and Song Yuanhao respectively, then cast a spell and sent the cups to the wooden table next to them, motioning for them to sit down.
Seeing that Huang Siyuan and Song Qingming were both very approachable and did not have the airs like other Jindan cultivators he had met before, Xu Qingyin was no longer too nervous. He bowed and responded, then picked up the spiritual tea on the table and took a sip.
"This tea is fragrant and mellow, and it tastes smooth and refreshing. The senior must have added morning dew from the top of the mountain on purpose. It is a blessing for me to have the opportunity to taste it today."
"Oh! Daoist friend, you knew I used morning dew after just taking a sip. It seems Daoist friend Xu is quite good at tea making and is also a person who understands tea. I was a little blind."
Hearing that Xu Qingyin had figured out the trick of her tea-making so quickly, Huang Siyuan's expression changed slightly. She immediately praised her and became more interested in the woman in front of her.
"I am also interested in the art of tea, and I have only learned a little bit of it. Your words are a bit too much."
Huang Siyuan and Xu Qingyin were both interested in the tea ceremony, and they found some common topics to talk about.
It was not until about a quarter of an hour later that Song Yuanfang came to the "Huixian Pavilion" with a green jade bottle, and they stopped chatting temporarily.
After taking the green jade bottle from Song Yuanfang, Huang Siyuan handed it directly to Xu Qingyin.
"This recovery pill was made by me a few years ago. Fellow Daoist Xu can take a look at it first. If you think the quality is okay, we can conclude the deal."
After Xu Qingyin took the jade bottle and opened it, a strong medicinal fragrance immediately hit her nose. Looking at the high-level healing elixir that she had been longing for, she suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"This pill is exactly what I need. There is no problem. Thank you for your help, senior!"
After saying that, Xu Qingyin put away the jade bottle in her hand, then took out the talisman that she had prepared long ago, and handed it to Huang Siyuan with a respectful look on her face.
Huang Siyuan picked up the jade box that Xu Qingyin handed over, opened it and took a look. She immediately smiled and nodded, then put the talisman directly into her storage bag.
Seeing that Huang Siyuan didn’t say much, Xu Qingyin immediately bowed and said, “My junior sister is still in Qinghefang nearby, with no one to take care of her.
If you don’t have any questions, I will take my leave and not disturb you two.”
Huang Siyuan saw this and nodded slightly, saying, "Friend Xu has something else to do today, so we won't keep you here.
Daoyou, you have come from afar and are considered an honored guest of our Song family. If you need any help from us in Qinghe County in the future, just come to the mountain to find Yuanhao."
Huang Siyuan had just finished speaking when Song Qingming instructed Song Yuanhao on the side, "This is your first visit, so some things may not be convenient in Qinghefang.
Yuan Hao, why don't you accompany her to Qinghefang first? Please treat her well and don't lose the family etiquette."
Song Yuanhao didn't think much about it when he heard it. He immediately nodded in response, then left Huixian Pavilion with Xu Qingyin.
After the two left, Song Qingming turned to Song Yuanfang and asked, "Have you found out? When did she arrive at Qinghefang?"
"Reporting to Seventh Uncle, Xu Qingyin came to Weiguo a month ago and moved into Qinghefang about four days ago. After she arrived, she only inquired about Yuan Hao's affairs and came straight to our Funiushan."
Hearing Song Yuanfang's answer, Song Qingming nodded slightly and said, "Tell the people in Qinghefang to pay attention to where she lives. If they find out when she leaves, send a message back to tell us immediately."
"Don't worry, Uncle Seventh. I'll arrange this right away!"
Upon hearing this, Song Yuanfang hurriedly nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Song Qingming seemed to have thought of something and waved his hand to stop Song Yuanfang.
"Any news about the Li family recently?"
Hearing Song Qingming suddenly asking about the Li family, Song Yuanfang paused for a moment, then immediately replied: "Li Chengyue has been in seclusion since returning to heal his injuries, and no news has been heard yet.
The Li family has been much quieter in the market in the past year. It seems that Li Chengyue's injury will not heal for a while. Last month, the Li family specially sent someone to exchange some healing pills from the Golden Pavilion. "
Hearing Song Yuanfang's answer, Song Qingming nodded thoughtfully and said, "Li Chengyue's injuries are in his physical body meridians. If there are any extra level 3 recovery pills in the Golden Pavilion, you can give one to them next time someone from the Li family comes.
After all, Li Chengyue was injured on the front line while accompanying us on the expedition, so we cannot ignore the need to take care of him."
When Song Yuanfang heard that Song Qingming was going to give Li Chengyue a third-level healing pill, a look of surprise appeared on his face, but his expression quickly recovered and he nodded to agree to it.
After Song Yuanfang left for a while, Huang Siyuan asked curiously, "Although Li Chengyue's injuries are serious, his life is not in danger. Why does my husband think so highly of him?"
Seeing that Huang Siyuan was somewhat puzzled by his actions just now, Song Qingming took a sip of the teacup, then smiled and explained: "Although Li Chengyue has fought fiercely with the Huang family in recent years, he is still very loyal to us in Funiushan.
He is injured and has not shown up for a long time. I am afraid that the Li family will suddenly lose power and the market will be in chaos, so I want to help him.
It’s not a big deal for us to have some conflicts with these immortal families below, but the business in the market must not be disrupted. This is the foundation of the family’s survival, so we still have to pay more attention to it.”
In recent years, the many immortal cultivation families under the Song family have been divided into two factions headed by the Huang family and the Li family. They have been secretly at odds with each other and have been fighting each other constantly. Song Qingming knows all these things clearly.
Song Qingming didn't care about their secret fight, and told Song Yuanfang and others not to pay too much attention to it.
For the Song family, some conflicts within the immortal cultivation family under their command will not bring any impact to the family. Instead, it will highlight the importance of the Song family in their hearts, and they will always be concerned about the attitude of Funiushan towards them.
If all the immortal cultivation families under his command were harmonious and had no conflicts, the Song family would not be able to find any handles between them and would find it difficult to control them. If they needed their help in the future, it would be difficult to get them to do so willingly.
Because of this, when Li Chengyue was injured and the Li family lost power, Song Qingming wanted to lend a helping hand so that the Li family could recover faster and not give the Huang family too many opportunities to suppress them.
After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Huang Siyuan immediately understood that he wanted to balance the power between the two sides. After a moment of silence, she immediately changed the subject and said to Song Qingming with a smile:
"I quite like this girl Yuan Hao brought. What do you think of her?"
Seeing Huang Siyuan mention Xu Qingyin, Song Qingming smiled and shook his head and said, "We just met, how can I tell whether she is good or bad.
However, this time it is indeed as you said, his attitude towards Xu Qingyin is completely different from that of others, so it is possible.
I haven't seen Yuan Hao fall in love with anyone over the years, and I thought this guy was really stupid and knew nothing about love. It seems he just hasn't found the right person.
We'll pay more attention to her later. If Yuan Hao is really interested in her, we can't miss this opportunity. Anyway, as long as that girl has nothing to do with Hunyuan Sect, her staying will not have any impact on us.
When Xinhe left, he left behind Yuanhao as his only descendant. As an elder, I cannot watch his lineage die out. You can also help with this matter. If it can be resolved satisfactorily, I will definitely thank you very much. "
"There's no need to express gratitude between you and me. If I can really help you achieve your wish, if you have the opportunity to go to the East Phoenix Country to cultivate immortals in the future, you can take me with you to broaden your horizons."
Seeing that Huang Siyuan wanted to go to the "Donghuang Kingdom" to cultivate immortals with him, Song Qingming immediately understood what she meant. She probably wanted to go to the "Taixu Sect" to take a look.
Huang Siyuan has received guidance from Song Qingming over the years and has made some achievements in worldly practice. Therefore, she has become more and more curious about the mysterious sect that Song Qingming has joined and has always wanted to learn more about it.
Song Qingming didn't mind too much about Huang Siyuan wanting to learn about the "Taixu Sect", but due to the sect's rules, he couldn't tell Huang Siyuan directly, so he could only nod and reply:
"If you are interested in that place, I will ask someone next time if I can take you to the sect to have a look. Don't be too anxious about this matter. I think there should be a chance in the future."
Huang Siyuan smiled and nodded when she heard this, "Well, don't worry, my husband. I know some things cannot be forced. It would be great if I could have a chance to go and have a look. If there are really difficulties, and this opportunity is not meant for me, then let it go. Don't let me affect your relationship with them."
"Don't worry, I know the seriousness of this matter and I won't make it difficult for myself."
Seeing Song Qingming nodded in agreement with her words, Huang Siyuan finally felt relieved. She smiled and picked up the teapot to add another cup of spiritual tea to his cup.
After Xu Qingyin got the third-level "Recovery Pill" from the Song family as she wished, she immediately returned to "Qinghefang" with Song Yuanhao and handed the healing pill to her senior sister Li Xiuning who was in seclusion to recover.
In order to make it more convenient for them, Song Yuanhao specially greeted the two foundation-building monks stationed in the market town, and arranged for Li Xiuning to retreat and recuperate in a cave with the best spiritual energy in the back mountain of the market town.
Li Xiuning had met Song Yuanhao once in the State of Song, and had a good impression of this good friend of her junior sister.
Upon learning that Song Yuanhao had really helped him exchange for a high-level healing pill, Li Xiuning was extremely grateful and dragged his sick body to pay his respects to Song Yuanhao.
Seeing this, Song Yuanhao was also a little surprised, and immediately stepped forward to stop him. Being not good at speaking, he had to talk for a while before he got Li Xiuning to accept the healing pill in his hand with peace of mind.
Knowing that Xu Qingyin and Li Xiuning had just arrived in Weiguo and did not know anyone, Song Yuanhao helped Li Xiuning settle all matters related to her retreat before he said goodbye to Xu Qingyin and left "Qinghefang" with peace of mind.
After Song Yuanhao left, Li Xiuning looked at the pill in her hand and couldn't help but sighed: "Junior sister, I didn't expect the Song family really has high-level healing pills. It's really right to hear you come to Weiguo this time."
"Yes! Speaking of which, it was Brother Song who helped a lot. If it weren't for him speaking up, the Song family wouldn't have returned the elixir to us so easily even if they had it."
Xu Qingyin thought of Song Yuanhao who had just left, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Seeing the happy expression on his junior sister Xu Qingyin's face, Li Xiuning smiled and nodded and said, "My junior sister helped him once, and Song Yuanhao still remembers and repays this favor, which shows that he is indeed a man who values friendship and loyalty.
Junior sister, if you are interested in him, you can consider it. If you can find someone to rely on sooner, I can give an explanation to Master even if I die now."
"Senior sister, what are you talking about? When did I ever have feelings for him?"
Hearing what Li Xiuning said, Xu Qingyin's face suddenly turned red and she turned her head away in embarrassment. After a while, she continued to speak:
"I got the third-level recovery pill this time. Senior sister, your injuries will definitely heal quickly. I just need you to rely on me in the future. I don't want to think too much about other things now."
Seeing Xu Qingyin's expectant look, Li Xiuning's expression gradually calmed down, and he sighed slightly and said, "I know my injuries well, and it's not easy to recover.
Even with the help of this third-level recovery pill, he may not be able to fully recover.
My master and husband have both left me, and I don't have too many concerns in this world, but I'm still worried about you, Junior Sister. If you can find someone to rely on, I can put my mind at ease sooner."
"Senior Sister..."
-
In the northwest corner of the back mountain of "Funiu Mountain", there is a valley shrouded in white fog all year round.
Although the valley is surrounded by white fog, the surrounding area is filled with birdsong and flowers, and the scenery is pleasant.
At the entrance of the valley, a few gray hares approached the white fog and greedily inhaled a few breaths of the spiritual energy emanating from it. Then, still not satisfied, they rushed directly into the fog, trying to enter the valley.
"Little thing, this is not the place you should be. Go back to where you came from!"
Just as the hares were quickly shuttling through the white fog, an angry roar came from the valley, scaring them so much that they quickly turned around and rushed out of the white fog, and quickly disappeared into the dense forest outside the valley along with the surrounding flocks of birds.
After a while, the fog in the valley suddenly dissipated slowly, and a white-haired old man slowly walked out from it. After glancing around, he saw that the birds and beasts that had just appeared were scared away, so he turned around and walked back to the valley with satisfaction.
The old man had just returned to the valley when he suddenly saw a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old running towards him in a hurry in the distance. He quickly restored the formation behind him and strode forward to meet him.
"Linqing, has something happened in the medicine garden, or has another spiritual medicine matured prematurely?"
Hearing the old man's concerned question, Song Linqing nodded and pointed to the family's spiritual medicine garden not far behind him and said, "Uncle Yuantong, please go and have a look. There seems to be something wrong with the gilded fruit tree. "
"What exactly is wrong? Please explain it clearly! You have been learning from me for such a long time, but you still can't tell what's wrong with the spiritual plants in the medicine garden."
Hearing the reprimand from the elder in front of him, Song Linqing, who still looked a little immature, thought for a moment before continuing, "Uncle Yuantong, the gilded fruit tree seems to be beginning to advance in realm.
I just went to the Spiritual Medicine Garden to check and found that the speed at which the gilded fruit tree absorbed spiritual energy had increased a lot, and a lot of new branches and leaves had grown on it, which was exactly the same as what the elders had said before about the spiritual plants being promoted to a higher realm. I'm not sure if this is true."
"What, you said that the gilded fruit tree is improving its realm." Hearing what Song Linqing said, the white-haired old man's face suddenly changed, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he hurriedly took him to the family's spiritual medicine garden not far away.
Since the Song family was promoted to the Golden Core Immortal Clan, the family's spiritual medicine garden has been continuously expanding over the years. Not only on the "Funiu Mountain", but also on the "Chiyanfang" and "Baishiling" spiritual veins, they have been cultivating spiritual fields and planting various spiritual medicines.
Now, in this spiritual medicine garden located in the back mountain of the family, after three hundred years of development by the family, various spiritual objects have been planted in most places in the entire valley. Among them, there are many spiritual medicines that are not yet mature, and their quality has reached above level three.
After the old man led Song Linqing through more than a dozen medicinal fields, they soon came to a golden fruit tree more than one meter tall. It was the gilded fruit tree that Song Qingming and others happened to bring back from "Yunwu Mountain" that year.
At this time, the spiritual energy around the "Gilded Fruit Tree" was rapidly flowing into the fruit tree, exceeding the speed at which it usually absorbed spiritual energy. Just as Song Linqing said, four or five new branches suddenly appeared on the trunk overnight.
"This, this is really the fruit tree that is ascending to a higher realm. I will stay here and Linqing, go and inform the two elders and tell them about the situation of the gilded fruit tree."
Seeing this, the old man of the Song family's "Yuan" generation did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered Song Linqing beside him to find Song Yuanxue and Song Xuanling, two second-level spiritual plant masters of the family.
He hurriedly opened a spirit gathering formation next to the "Gilded Fruit Tree", and then took out a medium-grade spirit stone from his body and put it in.
The medicinal age of spiritual plants above level three is at least over a thousand years, and their realm may only be improved once every five or six hundred years. It is extremely rare in the entire world of cultivating immortals to suddenly improve one's realm like the "Gilded Fruit Tree".
Upon learning that the "Gilded Fruit Tree" had suddenly begun to advance in realm, Song Yuanxue, who was practicing in seclusion in the cave, was shocked and hurriedly ended his seclusion early and walked out of the cave.
With a group of spiritual plant masters from the Song family, they began to guard the spiritual medicine garden day and night to take care of the "gilded fruit tree" that was being promoted.
Song Qingming and his companions on the top of the mountain were very happy when they learned that the "Gilded Fruit Tree" was advancing in realm. They even went to the family's spiritual medicine garden to check on the spiritual tree.
Not only did he reward Song Linqing and the other two who were the first to discover the spiritual tree, he also asked the family's treasury pavilion to advance a sum of spiritual stones to the family's spiritual medicine garden, and instructed Song Yuanxue and others to take good care of the "gilded fruit tree."
The "Gilded Fruit Tree" can provide the family with a third-grade lower-quality spiritual fruit every few decades. If it can be successfully upgraded this time, the quality of the spiritual fruit can be upgraded to third-grade middle-quality, and its value can be increased by at least twice, which can greatly enhance the family's foundation.
Moreover, spiritual fruits above level three that can improve cultivation are extremely rare and are not something that can be easily purchased in the market.
Holding this kind of high-level spiritual object, when trading with cultivators of the same level outside, it is sometimes even more useful than spirit stones. The family can continue to produce these high-level spiritual fruits, and it will be more convenient for Song Qingming and others to exchange them for high-level spiritual objects that are useful to them in the future.
Just when everyone in the Song family was still rejoicing over the "Gilded Fruit Tree"'s advancement in realm, Song Qingming was somewhat surprised that less than half a month later, Song Yuanxue, who was taking care of the "Gilded Fruit Tree", soon brought him some bad news.
Half a month after the Song family's "Gilded Fruit Tree" was promoted to a higher realm, the speed at which it absorbed spiritual energy suddenly slowed down a lot.
According to the estimation of Song Yuanxue and others, the foundation of the fruit tree was still somewhat unstable during the promotion. If there was no external force to change it, the promotion of the "Gilded Fruit Tree" would most likely end in failure.
Song Qingming felt a little disappointed when he heard the news, but he was not good at spiritual plants and was at a loss as to what to do.
After thinking about it for a while, Song Qingming went to "Guyang Mountain" in person to seek help from Zhao Mengling, who was proficient in spiritual plant skills, and asked if there was any way to save the "Gilded Fruit Tree" that was being promoted.
Song Qingming was lucky this time. When he arrived at "Guyang Mountain", Zhao Mengling had just come out of seclusion. After informing her, Song Qingming soon met her in Zhao Mengling's cave.
After learning the purpose of Song Qingming's visit, Zhao Mengling thought for a while before slowly speaking:
"Junior Brother Song, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I can probably guess from what you said just now that the gilded fruit tree must have had its roots damaged when it was transplanted, which is why it is in this state.
If it is not treated in time, the fruit tree will most likely fail to be promoted this time, and we don’t know when the next promotion will be.”
"It's useless to regret now. I wonder if Senior Sister Zhao has any remedy that can help the fruit tree advance to a higher realm."
