Qinghe Immortal Clan.

After practicing Taoism for many years, Song Qingming also met many masters who helped him outside, but no matter whether they were Nascent Soul cultivators like Huo Feng or Feng He, they would look up to Song Qingming at the beginning, all for their own personal interests.

This was the first time Song Qingming had heard of a great opportunity like Song Yuanli, who would meet a mysterious powerful person who came to his aid when he was in danger and helped him to successfully form a pill.

If Song Yuanli can return safely from his journey to repay his gratitude this time, it would truly be his personal good fortune, and even Song Qingming would have to be a little envious of him.

After Song Yuanli returned to his family, many clan members who were familiar with him came to visit him upon learning that he was back. Even Li Chengyue, who had a good relationship with him in the past, sent a visiting card to "Funiu Mountain".

However, what surprised everyone was that after Song Yuanli went to the top of the mountain to meet the family ancestor, he quickly went into seclusion after returning to the cave, leaving many clansmen who wanted to come and reminisce with him turned away.

Regarding his sudden return, the family, under the instructions of Song Qingming, did not deliberately publicize the matter. It was more than half a month later when Li Chengyue learned about Song Yuanli's return.

In the entire Song family, except for Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, no one else knew that Song Yuanli had broken through to the golden elixir stage. Even Song Yuanfang, the head steward who was in charge of all the family affairs, was completely unaware of this.

Seeing that the day agreed with Feng He was getting closer, Song Qingming, who had been studying the note for nearly half a year, finally walked out of the cave and set off for "Guyang Mountain", wanting to prepare some more spiritual objects that might be useful before departure.

Now Song Qingming has no shortage of high-level magic weapons, elixirs, and formations, but he does not have many high-level talismans. They are all of low quality and are not of much use to him now.

Although Song Qingming is also a third-level talisman maker, his talisman-making skills are currently only at the third-level mid-grade, and he is not yet able to make a third-level top-grade talisman.

That was why he wanted to go to the sect's "Good Deeds Pavilion" to see if he could have a chance to exchange for one or two third-level top-quality talismans.

In recent years, Song Qingming has worked hard for the sect many times and earned a lot of good deeds. Now he has more than 30,000 good deeds recorded in the "Good Deeds Pavilion", which is almost enough to exchange for two third-level top-grade talismans.

After arriving at "Guyang Mountain", Song Qingming went straight to the sect's "Shangong Pavilion".

Upon learning that Song Qingming wanted to exchange for a talisman of level three or above, the foundation-building disciple on duty hurried upstairs to inform Fang Baixuan, the Jindan elder who was on duty there.

"Brother Song, you are a rare guest today. I wonder what you need. Please follow me upstairs and tell me in detail."

As soon as he saw Song Qingming, Fang Baixuan immediately smiled and bowed, then took Song Qingming directly to the second floor of the "Shangong Pavilion".

"Junior Brother Fang, I came here this time to ask if there are any third-grade top-quality talismans in the Good Deeds Pavilion." After exchanging a few words with Fang Baixuan, Song Qingming slowly stated his purpose.

Hearing that Song Qingming came to ask for a third-grade upper-grade talisman, Fang Baixuan did not ask the reason, but thought for a moment and immediately responded: "Brother, it's really a coincidence that you came this time.

I remember that last month Senior Brother Li just happened to draw a third-grade top-grade talisman and stored it in the treasury. No one has come to redeem the talisman recently, so it should still be there.

Brother, wait a moment, I will go get the talisman for you."

After Fang Baixuan finished speaking, he bowed and said goodbye. After a while, he returned to Song Qingming holding a wooden box.

"This talisman is called the Seven-Star Ice Sword Talisman. It is quite powerful among the third-level upper-grade spiritual talismans. If you like it, you can take it directly for just 14,000 points of good merit."

When Song Qingming saw Fang Baixuan take out a blue talisman from the wooden box, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately nodded with satisfaction.

Now he has two powerful defensive magic weapons, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" and the "White Dragon Ruler", but what he lacks mainly is offensive means.

Seeing that the "Seven-Star Ice Sword Talisman" in front of him was exactly the high-level attack talisman he needed, Song Qingming did not hesitate too much and directly spent 14,000 points of good deeds to exchange the talisman for his own hands.

"Brother Fang, besides this third-grade upper-grade talisman, do you know any elders who have extra talismans that can be exchanged?"

After obtaining the "Seven-Star Ice Sword Talisman", Song Qingming was still a little unsatisfied. Before leaving the Shangong Pavilion, he asked Fang Baixuan again, wanting to find out if other people had extra talismans.

This trip to the Tianhai Immortal Cultivation World is crucial to his future path. Song Qingming has no shortage of spirit stones now, so he can carry a few more high-level talismans with him just in case, which will make him feel more at ease.

Facing Song Qingming's question, Fang Baixuan thought for a moment before slowly replying, "The third-grade upper-grade talisman, I know that Senior Brother Li might be the only one who has it.

I also heard that Senior Sister Xu got one from the East China Sea half a year ago, but I just heard about it and don’t know if it’s true or not. Senior Brother Song can also go and ask, maybe you can get something out of it.”

"Oh! That's good. Thank you for your guidance, Junior Brother Fang."

After leaving the "Shangong Pavilion", Song Qingming took out the flying boat and flew directly to the southwest of "Guyang Mountain", and chose to go to Lingshan first where the cave residence of the law enforcement elder Li Wutong was located.

In addition to serving as the sect's law enforcement elder, Li Wutong is also the only third-level top-grade talisman maker in the "Xiaoyao Sect". Most of the high-level talismans in the hands of the sect's elders were drawn by him.

When Song Qingming arrived at Lingshan where Li Wutong was, he unfortunately heard the news that the other party had just gone out to perform a sect mission and was not on "Guyang Mountain" and he didn't know when he would return.

Seeing that he had come at an inopportune time, Song Qingming could only sigh with regret, then turned around and came to the "Xiaoyao Palace" where Xu Ziyan was.

When he arrived at the door, Song Qingming immediately asked someone to go in and report it.

After a while, a foundation-building disciple dressed in a white Taoist robe came out.

"Junior Yao Muling, greetings to Master Song!"

When Song Qingming heard the visitor announce his name, he felt that it sounded familiar, so he looked up and took a closer look, only to find that the foundation-building disciple who came out to greet him was Yao Muling, the person he had helped in the past.

Yao Muling is the descendant of the old master Yao Qianshu. Back then, Song Qingming, at the request of Yao Qianshu, gave him elixirs to support him before he broke through to the middle stage of foundation building. It has been almost thirty years now.

After not seeing each other for such a long time, Yao Muling's cultivation has already improved from the third level of foundation building to the sixth level of foundation building. He is only one step away from entering the late stage of foundation building.

"Hmm! As far as I remember, you are not a disciple of the General Affairs Hall, so why are you on duty here today?"

Hearing Song Qingming's question, Yao Muling quickly smiled and nodded, saying, "Uncle Song remembers correctly, I have always been practicing in the sect's Spirit Plant Hall.

Last year, Master accepted me as his personal disciple, and then I was transferred to the General Affairs Hall to help, so Uncle Master did not know about this. "

"Junior Sister Xu has never accepted many disciples. You have caught her eye. It seems that you have indeed made some progress over the years. If Senior Brother Yao knew about this, he would surely be happy for you."

Upon learning that Yao Muling had become Xu Ziyan's disciple, Song Qingming felt happy for him and immediately praised him.

Ever since the death of the old sect leader Yao Qianshu, Yao Muling's status in the sect has visibly declined.

Not to mention compared with the direct disciples of the Jindan elders, even some ordinary foundation-building disciples with stronger connections and backgrounds have more influence in the sect than him.

Even so, Yao Muling did not give up on himself or neglect his own cultivation over the years. He gritted his teeth and persevered.

It was precisely Yao Muling's neither humble nor arrogant character that finally allowed him to find an opportunity to make considerable contributions to the sect on the battlefield during the sect's last northern expedition. This was why Xu Ziyan took a special look at him and accepted him as a personal disciple, thus raising his status in the sect.

Encouraged by Song Qingming, Yao Muling immediately responded respectfully: "I am able to achieve what I have today, and I would like to thank my uncle for taking care of me back then.

If it weren't for Master Song's gift of the spiritual object that helped me break through the middle stage of foundation building, my cultivation speed wouldn't be so fast, not to mention that I would have the opportunity to become Master's disciple."

"My care for you is limited after all. The main reason you are where you are today is because of your hard work in cultivation. You don't need to be modest in front of me on this point.

Your cultivation is about to break through to the late stage of foundation building. I believe you will have the opportunity to impact the golden elixir realm in the future. If you need me to speak up for you at that time, just tell me."

"Thank you, Master Song, for your care. I will work hard to cultivate and strive to break through to the late stage of foundation building as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand to let Yao Muling lead the way, and went directly into the "Xiaoyao Palace", where he saw Xu Ziyan who was making tea alone.

"Where did you find the free time, Brother Song? How did you find the time to come to my place today?"

Seeing Song Qingming walking in from outside, Xu Ziyan quickly stood up and bowed to greet him, then asked Yao Muling beside her to retreat first.

"Junior Sister Xu, you have worked hard. I came here today to ask you if you have any third-grade high-quality talismans. Can you exchange one for me?"

"A third-grade, high-quality talisman! Why is Senior Brother so anxious to find such a high-level talisman? Are you planning to go on a long journey?"

As soon as she met Song Qingming and heard his purpose, Xu Ziyan immediately guessed about 70% of it and quickly asked.

Seeing that he couldn't hide the secret from Xu Ziyan, Song Qingming simply told her directly that he was about to go out.

However, in order not to disclose anything related to Feng He, Song Qingming slightly changed the place he was going to and the things he needed to do, claiming that he wanted to travel to the East China Sea to cultivate immortals and look for some spiritual objects he needed.

As a Jindan cultivator with great cultivation, it is not uncommon for Song Qingming to want to travel outside for a while when he encounters some bottlenecks in his practice.

Therefore, after Xu Ziyan knew the reason why he went out, she just smiled and said a few words of envy without asking too many questions.

"Brother Song, I got this talisman from the Qinglong Sect in the East China Sea with great difficulty. If you hadn't come to me today to ask for it, I wouldn't have given it to anyone else. I bought this talisman for 15,000 spirit stones. If you want it, I don't want the spirit stones anymore. When your gilded fruit is ripe, can you give one to me?"

The last time he promoted the "Gilded Fruit Tree", Song Qingming had asked Xu Ziyan for help in exchanging spiritual water to replenish the foundation of the spiritual tree. Xu Ziyan naturally knew the situation of this fruit tree of the Song family.

Seeing Xu Ziyan suddenly mention the "Gilded Fruit" produced by her family, it was obvious that she had been eyeing this thing for a long time. Song Qingming's face suddenly showed helplessness.

Although the third-level spiritual fruit such as the "Gilded Fruit" is of great help to the cultivation of several Jindan cultivators in the family, such as Song Qingming.

However, over the years, Xu Ziyan, as Song Qingming's closest friend in the sect, has always been very caring towards him and the entire Song family.

After several sect wars and the distribution of results, the rewards given to the Song family by the General Affairs Hall managed by Xu Ziyan were obviously better than those given to other immortal cultivation families.

After hesitating for a moment, Song Qingming immediately nodded and agreed, and took out a third-grade medium-quality "Gilded Fruit" from his body and handed it to Xu Ziyan.

This spiritual fruit matured when the "Gilded Fruit Tree" was successfully promoted not long ago.

For a late Jindan cultivator like Song Qingming, the effect of a third-grade medium-quality spiritual fruit after taking it and refining it would not be very obvious. Song Qingming originally wanted to leave it for Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan to refine when they break through their cultivation in the future.

Since Xu Ziyan had targeted him this time, Song Qingming thought about it and decided to return it to her directly. After all, the fruit trees at home could ripen a spiritual fruit every few decades, so Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan should never have to worry about having no spiritual fruits in the future.

When Xu Ziyan saw the spiritual fruit that Song Qingming took out, she was suddenly surprised and hurriedly took it with a happy look on her face.

Xu Ziyan has been practicing to the peak of the fourth level of Golden Core for many years, and has recently been looking for a suitable spiritual object to assist her in breaking through.

This time, with the third-grade intermediate-quality "Gilded Fruit" that Song Qingming gave her in exchange, her confidence in breaking through her cultivation level has increased a little more. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to help her successfully break through to the fifth level of the Golden Core.

"Brother Song, this spiritual fruit is more valuable than my spiritual talisman. Junior sister can't take advantage of you for nothing. I have another spiritual object that I have always wanted to give to you. Today I can use it to compensate you."

After happily putting away the spiritual fruit in her hand, Xu Ziyan took out an ordinary magic weapon from her storage bag and placed it in front of Song Qingming with a smile.

"This is... What does Junior Sister Xu mean?"

When Song Qingming saw the ancient hairpin that Xu Ziyan took out, he recognized it at a glance. It was the thing that Gao Yuyao had in her body back then.

It was with the guidance of the map in this hairpin that Gao Yuyao, Song Qingming and other talents went deep into the Floating Cloud Mountains and found the "Tandi Cave" with the spiritual spring.

After that treasure hunt, the cave was empty except for the "Spiritual Spring" which could not be moved, and Song Qingming had almost forgotten about the hairpin.

Unexpectedly, after more than a hundred years, Gao Yuyao still kept this useless thing on herself.

Seeing Xu Zi Yan suddenly take out this thing, Song Qingming immediately guessed in his heart that Xu Zi Yan might have already known the secret of the "Tan Di Cave".

I just don't know what her intention was in suddenly taking out this jade hairpin and giving it to me, and a look of confusion appeared on my face.

Seeing Song Qingming looking at her nervously, Xu Ziyan nodded generously and said, "Brother Song, please don't misunderstand me. Please listen to my explanation first.

I found this item by chance a few days ago among the relics left by Senior Sister Gao. It contains a map of a cave.

I took a closer look and discovered that this cave was right near Cangyuan Mountain, which had nothing to do with me.

Therefore, I want to give this opportunity to Senior Brother as my compensation. I wonder if Senior Brother Song is willing to accept it."

After hearing Xu Ziyan's explanation, Song Qingming thought for a moment and then a smile slowly appeared on his face. He reached out and took the hairpin from her hand.

"Junior sister, you are so kind, how can I not accept it? If I find something good in this cave in the future, I will definitely not forget you."

Xu Ziyan's intention of giving this item to Song Qingming was very obvious. She must know about that cave.

However, Song Qingming had already taken over Cangyuan Mountain first, and she didn't want to argue with Song Qingming about it, so she gave the "Tan Di Cave" directly to Song Qingming as a favor.

Doing so is acceptable to both of them and will not affect their future relationship.

Song Qingming was naturally happy to see this. As long as Xu Ziyan didn't say anything, no one in the sect would know the secret of the "Tan Di Cave Mansion", and this would not have any impact on the Song family's future occupation and development of this cave mansion.

As for Xu Ziyan's character, after dealing with her for so many years, Song Qingming still trusts her and is not worried that she will bring up the matter again in the future.

Song Qingming took the hairpin and saw this familiar object up close. Gao Yuyao's figure could not help but appear in his mind again.

Feeling that time is ruthless, he couldn't help but sigh before putting it away.

After compensating Song Qingming with the hairpin, Xu Ziyan took a sip of the spiritual tea on the table and continued to say to Song Qingming: "Senior Brother Song, I just remembered that I have something else to remind you."

Hearing Xu Ziyan's words, Song Qingming immediately came back to his senses, and bowed slightly to her and said, "I don't know what it is, please speak frankly, Junior Sister!"

“Half a year ago, I heard from Uncle Bai that the Leiyuanhai Xiuxian world was about to hold a large-scale trade fair that would only be held once in a hundred years, and there would be many rare treasures appearing.

The scale of this trade fair is very large, which is not comparable to a small place like our Floating Cloud Mountains. It is said that many sects in the surrounding areas will send people there, and we are also going to participate.

If Senior Brother Song is interested in this, please be careful when you travel and come back on time, otherwise it will be too late to regret if you miss this once-in-a-century opportunity."

"This is the first time I've heard of a large trade fair held by Lei Yuanhai. Junior sister, do you know the details of this trade fair? Tell me."

Although Song Qingming had asked around in search of spiritual objects for forming infants over the years but had not obtained any useful information, he became interested as soon as he heard about the large-scale trade fair and his eyes were fixed on Xu Ziyan.

The "Leiyuanhai" immortal cultivation world is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Donghuang Immortal Continent. It is a large immortal cultivation world that is one of the five continents and four seas in the Huayang Realm. The number of cultivators in it is no less than that of the Donghuang Immortal Continent.

Because it is far away and the journey is very dangerous, Song Qingming had only heard about the "Leiyuanhai" immortal cultivation world before, and had never actually been there, so he didn't know much about the situation there.

Seeing Song Qingming asking about the details of the trade fair, Xu Ziyan smiled and shook her head and said, "Senior Brother Song also knows that I have never been to Lei Yuanhai, so how can I know the details of the trade fair there?

I just heard from Uncle Bai that the scale of this trade fair is very large, and those who participate are basically cultivators above the Jindan level. The spiritual objects that will appear will naturally be of high quality. I estimate that it is possible to see spiritual objects that can form infants.

Brother, your cultivation has reached the eighth level of the Golden Core, and sooner or later you will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. You can’t miss this Lei Yuanhai trade fair.”

"Haha! Junior sister, you are too kind. For us, the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage seems very close, but in fact it is out of reach. To be honest, I don't have the confidence to reach that step yet.

But no matter what the future holds, this spiritual object for forming an infant is something we must not easily miss! Even if we can't get it, it would be good to go to the Leiyuan Sea Xiuxian Realm to gain some experience.

Please tell me when the auction will be held, so I can come back early to avoid missing this opportunity."

Xu Ziyan nodded slightly and smiled when she heard this, "Brother Song is absolutely right. Even if we are not as talented as Uncle Bai, we must not easily miss this opportunity to form a baby right in front of us.

I heard from Uncle Bai that this large-scale trade fair in Leiyuan Sea will be several years away, and the sect will probably set off in three years.

It’s a pity that I have too many mundane matters of the sect on my shoulders. If I want to go out with them to attend the trade fair, I’m afraid Uncle Li won’t agree.

If Senior Brother Song is lucky enough to go there, please help me purchase some spiritual items to improve my cultivation, so that I can benefit from it."

"Of course. If I come across a spiritual item that Junior Sister needs, I will definitely find a way to buy it for you. Junior Sister has made great contributions in managing the sect, so it is our duty to help her."

Seeing that Xu Ziyan wanted him to help buy spiritual objects, Song Qingming agreed without thinking too much.

The other party revealing to himself the news that "Lei Yuanhai" was holding a large-scale trade fair had already helped Song Qingming a lot. Naturally, Song Qingming had no reason to refuse Xu Ziyan's request.

Both parties got what they wanted and the talks went quite harmoniously.

After the two of them finished talking about this, they chatted for a while before Song Qingming stood up, said goodbye and left "Xiaoyao Palace".

This time when he came to "Guyang Mountain", he successfully exchanged for two third-level top-grade talismans that he urgently needed. On the way back, Song Qingming felt much more relaxed.

After returning to his family, Song Qingming went into seclusion again. It was not until a month later that a letter from "Qinghefang" arrived, which finally allowed Song Qingming to end the preparations he had been doing for more than half a year.

After receiving the letter from Feng He, Song Qingming immediately called Huang Siyuan and Song Yuanli to his cave.

After giving the two of them a thorough explanation, he left "Funiu Mountain" with peace of mind and quietly headed in the direction of "Qinghefang". (End of this chapter)
