Qinghe Immortal Clan.

In a cave filled with spiritual energy at the top of the mountain behind "Qinghefang".

After Xu Qingyin prepared a cup of medicinal tea, she slowly poured it into a porcelain bowl on the table. Then she turned around and went to the stone room next door with the tea.

"Sister, I have already dissolved all the elixirs into the medicinal tea. If you drink it directly, it should be able to be refined faster."

Li Xiuning, who was meditating on a cushion, saw Xu Qingyin coming in with a porcelain bowl. He quickly put away his magic power, forced a smile, and took the medicinal tea from her hand.

"Qingyin, you have been running around for me these days. It's really hard for you. It's all my fault. I have already refined a third-level recovery pill but still can't recover. I don't know how long I will drag you down."

"Sister, what are you talking about? There is no such thing as a burden between us. If it weren't for your support, I wouldn't have had the chance to successfully build my foundation. I'm afraid I would have already died and followed Master."

Hearing Xu Qingyin's answer, Li Xiuning put away the smile on his face and sighed, "Senior sister knows that you are kind-hearted and will remember my kindness for a lifetime, otherwise if it were someone else, they would have abandoned me by now.

It’s a pity that my body hasn’t seen much improvement after taking so many panaceas. I’m afraid there’s no hope for me in this lifetime.

Junior sister, you are still young, and your future path will definitely be more than this. You should also think more about yourself and not waste all your energy on me. "

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I have asked Fellow Daoist Song to help me buy medicinal pills at Guiyunfang a few days ago. I think there should be news soon. When Fellow Daoist Song delivers the medicinal pills, I will prepare herbal tea for you. You will definitely recover quickly this time."

Seeing that Li Xiuning had become somewhat pessimistic about his injuries, Xu Qingyin quickly spoke up to encourage him, with a somewhat confident smile on her face.

However, Li Xiuning's face did not change after being comforted. She still sighed with disappointment and said, "I know my own body well. It is not so easy to recover, even if I buy it."

Just as Li Xiuning was speaking, there was a sudden wave from the magic circle outside the cave, and then a white sound transmission note flew in and fell into Xu Qingyin's hands.

"It was sent by Fellow Daoist Song. He should have helped to buy the elixir. Senior Sister, you drink the medicine first. I will go down the mountain to find Fellow Daoist Song to get the elixir back."

After Xu Qingyin finished speaking, she turned around and walked quickly out of the cave without paying attention to what Li Xiuning had not finished saying.

"Junior sister, wait a minute!"

However, before Xu Qingyin had taken a few steps, Li Xiuning, who was sitting next to her, called her to stop. Then, Li Xiuning cast a spell and took out a second-level top-grade flying sword from his storage bag and handed it to Xu Qingyin.

"Senior Sister, this is your favorite flying sword. What are you doing?"

Seeing Xu Qingyin's puzzled expression, Li Xiuning quickly explained, "Fellow Daoist Song has sent me medicine several times recently, but he refused to accept the spirit stones. He must have known that we were short of money.

I have no use for this magic weapon right now. Junior sister, you can take it to the market and sell it first. After you get the spirit stones in exchange, return the spirit stones to Brother Song for helping you buy the elixir.

We have been helped so much by others, we cannot owe them any more favors."

Seeing the resolute attitude on his senior sister's face, Xu Qingyin could only nod slightly. Without saying anything more, he put away the flying sword in his hand and turned to walk out of the cave.

Xu Qingyin arrived at the market at the foot of the mountain and soon found Song Yuanhao, who was sitting outside a teahouse and sipping tea patiently. She walked towards him with a smile on her face.

"Fellow Daoist Song, are you here to see me for news on the elixir?"

Seeing Xu Qingyin coming over, Song Yuanhao nodded with a smile, then took out a white jade bottle from his body and handed it to her.

"I was lucky this time. When I went to Guiyunfang, I just happened to find the elixir you wanted in Tiandan Pavilion. This was the last one in the entire market. Fortunately, I got there in time, otherwise someone else would have gotten there first and my trip would have been in vain."

When Xu Qingyin saw the white jade bottle that Song Yuanhao took out, her face lit up with joy and she hurriedly took it.

After opening the jade bottle and taking a look, Xu Qingyin was relieved to confirm that there was no major problem with the quality of the pill.

Next, she did not rush to put away the pills. Instead, she cast a spell to take out a bag of spirit stones from the storage bag and placed it directly on the table between the two of them.

"Thank you very much for your help in buying these pills. Please accept these spiritual stones. When Senior Sister's injury gets better, we will find a chance to thank you."

Seeing Xu Qingyin take out the spirit stones and put them on the table, Song Yuanhao waved his hand and said, "This is just a simple task and it didn't cost many spirit stones.

These spirit stones are not what I need right now. You all need spirit stones for expenses in the market right now. You should keep them for emergencies. Don't be so anxious. It won't be too late to return them to me when you have more money."

"Fellow Daoist, you have helped me several times but you were unwilling to accept my spirit stones. This has made me a little embarrassed to ask you for help again. Today, please don't be polite to me.

Otherwise, no matter how important this pill is to me, I would never dare to accept it and can only return it to you first." After Xu Qingyin finished speaking, he calmly put the pill back on the table.

Seeing that Xu Qingyin's attitude this time was different from before and very determined, Song Yuanhao immediately smiled bitterly, nodded slightly, and then put away the bag of spirit stones on the table.

Seeing that Song Yuanhao accepted her spirit stone, Xu Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief and took back the white jade bottle on the table with a smile.

After completing the exchange of elixirs and spirit stones, seeing that Xu Qingyin's face was smiling again, Song Yuanhao took the initiative to pour a cup of spirit tea for Xu Qingyin and asked her to sit down.

"How has Fellow Daoist Li recovered from his injuries recently? Is he not better than before?"

After the two sat in the teahouse and chatted for a while, Song Yuanhao changed the topic and asked about Li Xiuning's recovery from his injuries.

Xu Qingyin, who didn't want to get the elixir at this moment, suddenly looked confused when she heard Song Yuanfang asking about Li Xiuning's injury. She no longer had the confidence she had in front of her senior sister before.

"Senior sister has taken a lot of medicinal pills recently. Although her complexion is better than before, for some reason it still hasn't gotten better. I wonder if this time's medicinal pills can have some effect."

"Well, some healing pills may not work too quickly, so don't be too anxious, Fellow Daoist Xu. Be patient and wait for a while. Fellow Daoist Li will get better slowly."

Facing Song Yuanhao's consolation, Xu Qingyin smiled helplessly and nodded, saying: "In the past year or so, in order to buy healing pills, not only have we used up all the spiritual objects that Master left for us, but we have also sold several of Senior Sister's magic tools.

Right now, just as Fellow Daoist Song thought, we don't have too many spirit stones left. If Senior Sister still can't recover after a while, I might take her back to Song Country and let her recuperate slowly."

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to return to Song State now?" Hearing that Xu Qingyin had the idea of ​​going back, Song Yuanhao's face changed and he couldn't help but ask another question.

After receiving the other party's nod of confirmation, Song Yuanhao was silent for a moment, and then continued, "I know the Taoist friends stationed in Qinghefang. I will say hello to them later. Taoist Xu, don't worry, just stay here. There won't be any trouble."

"I understand Brother Song's good intentions, but my sister's injuries have not healed yet, and it is useless for us to stay here. Rather than staying here and bothering you, it would be better to go back earlier so that we can have less worries."

Xu Qingyin knew in her heart that Song Yuanhao really wanted to help her, but as she said, the main purpose of coming to Weiguo this time was to find healing medicine for Li Xiuning.

Now that both of them have spent almost all of their spirit stones, they are unwilling to keep bothering Song Yuanhao for help, and there is not much point in staying any longer.

Seeing that the other party already had his own ideas in his mind, Song Yuanhao chose not to continue speaking. He just picked up the spiritual tea on the table and took a sip with a silent expression.

"Fellow Daoist Song, I still have to go back to make medicine for my senior sister, so I won't bother you any more. I'll take my leave today."

"Fellow Taoist, leave quickly!"

Seeing Xu Qingyin stand up to say goodbye, Song Yuanhao did not ask her to stay. He bowed in return and watched her turn and leave.

After Xu Qingyin left for a while, Song Yuanhao sat alone in the teahouse in silence for a long time before he got up and left the teahouse, walking directly to the entrance of the market.

Just when he walked not far from the entrance of the market town, Song Yuanhao suddenly found a very familiar figure in front of him. Somewhat surprised, he hurried forward and bowed.

"Seventh Uncle, why are you here?"

Song Qingming, who had just entered the market, glanced at Song Yuanhao in front of him and replied directly: "I came here naturally to deal with some things. But why did you come here today instead of staying in Yinfeng Ridge?"

"I came here because Fellow Daoist Xu needed my help with something. I came here to give her sister some healing pills."

Facing Song Qingming's serious inquiry, Song Yuanhao did not hide anything and told Song Qingming directly that Xu Qingyin asked him to help buy elixirs.

After hearing Song Yuanhao's answer, Song Qingming's face suddenly showed some doubts, and he asked in confusion:
"Didn't we give them a third-level recovery pill last time? It should have been enough for her senior sister to heal her injuries. Why hasn't her injury improved? Is there something wrong with the pill or did something go wrong when she took it and refined it?"

"Well, Uncle Seven, I don't know why Fellow Daoist Li's injury hasn't improved. But I have already asked them about the pills, and they don't have any quality issues."

"Since there is no problem with the pill, could it be that there is something wrong with her injuries?"

Song Qingming stood there and thought to himself for a while, then continued to speak to Song Yuanhao beside him: "Yuanhao, don't rush back, go find them later.

Just tell them that I want to see the injured Li Daoyou in a while, and ask them to wait for me at Xianfeng Tower. I will come over as soon as I finish my business here." "Seventh Uncle, do you want to help check her injuries?"

Hearing that his ancestor suddenly wanted to see Li Xiuning, Song Yuanhao was surprised at first, and then confirmed it with some disbelief.

Song Qingming has been in the Jindan stage for so many years. As a Jindan cultivator who is high up in the world of immortal cultivation, he has spent most of his time practicing on his own sacred mountain. He rarely spends energy to take the initiative to inquire about the affairs of the foundation-building cultivators below him.

What's more, Li Xiuning is just an outsider cultivator and is not a cultivator familiar with the Song family.

At the beginning, Song Qingming agreed to exchange a third-grade lower-grade "Recovery Pill" for them only because he helped them because Xu Qingyin had done a favor for Song Yuanhao.

Logically speaking, the Song family had already repaid the favor by giving them the elixir. As for whether Li Xiuning's injuries healed after taking the elixir, it had nothing to do with "Funiu Mountain". Song Qingming did not need to specifically ask about the affairs of Senior Sister Xu Qingyin.

Seeing the puzzled look on Song Yuanhao's face, Song Qingming thought for a moment and decided not to tell him his intentions directly. Instead, he smiled and explained:

“After all, the elixirs she used to heal her injuries were given to her by us at Funiushan. Regardless of whether others say there are problems or not, we must try our best to find out what is going on.

If there really is something wrong with the pill, and we don’t find out the cause now, it will be troublesome if something goes wrong in the future.

Just tell them that I was just passing by to help check her injuries, and don't tell them what I just thought, so as not to make them think too much."

Song Yuanhao had learned that Li Xiuning's injuries had not improved after she had been recuperating in seclusion, and seeing Xu Qingyin always frowning because of this, he really wanted to help them.

However, Li Xiuning's injuries were too severe, and even the third-level elixir was of no use. Ordinary foundation-building cultivators could not find out what the problem was. Song Yuanhao was also powerless and could only try his best to help Xu Qingyin go out and buy some elixirs.

Recently, Song Yuanhao has also thought about asking several ancestors of his family for help.

It's just that the family had already helped him repay Xu Qingyin's favor last time, and Song Yuanhao really didn't want to ask the ancestors for help on their behalf, so he never told anyone about it.

Upon hearing that Song Qingming wanted to help check on Li Xiuning's injuries because he was worried that there might be problems with the elixir that the Song family had given him before, Song Yuanhao was delighted and immediately understood what he meant, and nodded in agreement.

"Seventh Uncle, I know what to do. Don't worry, I will tell them right away." After Song Yuanhao finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the back mountain of the market town, with a smile slowly appearing on his face.

I heard before that Xu Qingyin was about to give up and wanted to take Li Xiuning back to Song State with her.

Song Yuanhao never expected that after just a moment, he heard Song Qingming take the initiative to check Li Xiuning's injuries, which suddenly turned the situation around.

At this moment, Song Yuanhao was extremely happy and he couldn't help but quicken his pace, wanting to tell Xu Qingyin and the others the good news as soon as possible.

Seeing Song Yuanhao's happy face when he left, Song Qingming also smiled. After shaking his head slightly, he turned and walked to the other end of the street.

Due to the rise of the Song family in recent years, the entire Qinghe County has developed very rapidly, and the number of cultivators has increased several times compared to a hundred years ago.

Although the "Chiyanfang" founded by the Song family in the north has attracted many cultivators from Qinghe County to purchase spiritual objects in recent years, the "Qinghefang" has not been greatly affected by this. In fact, the number of cultivators coming and going on the street has increased a lot compared to a hundred years ago.

Since forming the Dan, Song Qingming seldom came to "Qinghefang". Looking at the many familiar shops on the street, many memories of the past here emerged in his mind.

Two hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. When he first came to "Qinghefang", Song Qingming was just a weak and immature Qi-refining cultivator, but now he has grown into a famous Jindan ancestor.

Walking on the streets of Fangshi, Song Qingming slowly scanned the shops on the street, and soon came to an ordinary century-old shop on the corner of the street.

Standing outside the door and taking a look at the sign hanging above the store, I found that it was still the same as it was back then, except that a small stall had appeared at the door, with a dozen low-level puppet beasts of different appearances on it.

The boss sitting behind the stall was an ordinary-looking young man, who was tinkering with an unfinished wolf-shaped "puppet beast" in his hands, looking very focused.

After seeing the stall, Song Qingming turned calmly and walked into a small alley nearby. When he came out a moment later, he had a black hat on his head, carefully covering his entire face.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask how many spirit stones this puppet beast costs?"

Just as Song Qingming walked over, a female cultivator passing by saw a rabbit-shaped "puppet beast" on the stall and thought it was very beautiful. She went straight to the front of the stall, picked up the "puppet beast" and asked the boss a question.

Seeing a customer coming, the young man who was repairing the "puppet beast" in his hand did not put down the unfinished work. He just glanced at the other party lightly, and then quickly uttered a somewhat casual word.

"Twenty spiritual stones!"

"What? It's just a primary puppet beast, and you dare to ask me for twenty spirit stones. I think you are crazy for the spirit stones!"

When the female cultivator heard the price the young man said, she was shocked and shouted angrily with some displeasure.

However, when the boss heard the other party's reprimand, there was no significant change on his face. He just focused on repairing the "puppet beast" in his hand and ignored the other party.

"Don't think I don't understand and want to cheat me. This kind of puppet beast is just good-looking, and its attack ability is not strong at all. I can only give you ten spirit stones at most. If you agree to this thing, I will take it."

The woman seemed to like the "puppet beast" in her hand very much. Seeing that the boss did not reply to her, she still did not give up and directly stated the price she wanted.

In her opinion, the young man in front of her was obviously inexperienced and came out to be an apprentice following his elders. As long as she could deal with him patiently, he would most likely agree in the end.

But what the woman didn't expect was that before the boss sitting behind the stall could reply, a mysterious monk wearing a bamboo hat next to him suddenly spoke first.

"This thing is so exquisite. Isn't it too little for you to offer only ten spirit stones? I am willing to offer twenty spirit stones. How about you sell this puppet beast to me, boss?"

When the female cultivator, who was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, heard that Song Qingming wanted to offer twenty spirit stones, her face immediately darkened.

After taking a glance at Song Qingming who made the offer, she turned to look at the stall owner sitting nearby. She seemed to understand something and gave the two of them a disdainful smile.

"Hmph! Don't think I can't see that you two are working in unison, trying to trick me into buying this thing at a high price.

Don’t think I’m easy to fool just because I’m young. Let me tell you, I’m a cultivator from the Xu family of Wutong Mountain, and my ancestors have some relationship with Funiushan Mountain.

If you dare to set a trap in the street like this, I will report you to the market law enforcement team and have your stall demolished."

Seeing the woman in front of him with an arrogant look, Song Qingming did not get angry. Instead, he took out twenty spirit stones from his storage bag and placed them directly in front of the boss.

"I don't care whether you are from Wutong Mountain or the Xu family. Anyway, I just like this spiritual object today. If you want it, pay the spiritual stones quickly. If you think it is too expensive, then give it to me and stop making a fuss here.

As for your desire to report it to the law enforcement team, that’s entirely up to you!”

"Who said I can't afford it?"

Provoked by Song Qingming, the female cultivator of the Xu family immediately became anxious, and she also took out a bag of spirit stones from her storage bag and placed it on top of the stall, and then said to the boss seriously: "Boss, please watch carefully, twenty spirit stones are not less.

But I have to say one more thing. I will go to the law enforcement team to appraise this item later. If the price difference is really too big, don't blame me for not reminding you now."

After saying that, the woman from the Xu family put away the "puppet beast" in her hand, glared at Song Qingming with some displeasure, then turned and left the stall.

Seeing this, Song Qingming didn't care. After the woman left, he turned around and bowed to the young boss in front of him.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Senior, your cultivation has become more and more profound. I am honored to meet you!"

Seeing Song Qingming coming forward to salute him, Feng He put down the "puppet beast" in his hand and nodded to him with a smile.

"You are not bad either. Your cultivation has improved a lot in just a few years. It seems that the cultivation experience I gave you last time was indeed helpful.

I was bored these past few days, so I just set up this stall on a whim. I hope what happened just now won’t bring any trouble to Liu Feng Tang!"

"Don't worry, senior. I have already explained everything here. No matter what you do in Liufeng Hall, no one will come to disturb you."

Feng He nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, then stood up and collected the spirit stones that the woman had just given him from the stall, and said with a smile: "You helped me earn a few more spirit stones today, and I can't let you, the ancestor of the Song family, work in vain.

How about coming with me to taste a few cups of my new spiritual tea?"

"This is what I've been looking for!" (End of this chapter)
