Qinghe Immortal Clan.

The second-grade top-grade "longevity pill" on Bai Yunhua's body is worth at least thousands of spirit stones on the market. It is a rare elixir that is extremely difficult to buy and has a high price.

After discovering that the elixir was missing, the first thing Song Qingming suspected was that the descendants of the Bai family stole the elixir when Bai Yunhua was not paying attention, so he began to interrogate them.

But Song Qingming only suspected other people in the Bai family and did not suspect his disciple Bai Jingyun.

After all, Bai Jingyun is the younger generation that Bai Yunhua values ​​the most. In order to pave the way for his grandson, Bai Yunhua even gave such a big secret transaction of "Qinghe Cave Mansion" to Song Qingming in exchange for his protection of Bai Jingyun.

Bai Jingyun is only in his twenties now, in the prime of his youth. He has no need for the second-grade top-grade "Longevity Pill" that can increase lifespan. The elixir in his hand can only be exchanged for spirit stones and cultivation resources.

Moreover, if Bai Jingyun wanted this elixir, given Bai Yunhua's love for him, she probably would not be stingy with it and would not have to resort to such stealing methods.

Seeing Bai Jingyun suddenly stand up, Song Qingming, Song Yuanfang and the others from the Bai family were a little surprised and turned their eyes to him.

After Bai Jingyun stepped forward and bowed, he took out a black array plate from the storage bag on his waist and placed it in front of Song Qingming.

“Master, this formation plate was left to me by my grandfather when he was still conscious a few months ago.

At that time, he also told me to keep this item carefully. If I lack spiritual items when building my foundation in the future, he asked me to give this array plate to you, saying that perhaps this item could help me.

During this period of time, I have always felt that this matter is a little strange. Master, please help me see if this thing left by my grandfather is related to the elixir."

As soon as Bai Jingyun finished speaking, the black array plate flew out of his hand and fell into Song Qingming's hand, who looked at it with a hint of doubt on his face.

Seeing the black array plate that Bai Jingyun took out, it was just a first-grade upper-grade array plate of average quality.
The people standing aside were still a little confused. How could such an ordinary and worthless thing be related to the extremely precious second-grade top-grade "Longevity Pill" mentioned by Song Qingming?

But the next moment, the black array plate suddenly split into two halves under Song Qingming's spell, and then a black wooden box about an inch in size suddenly floated out from the middle of the array plate.

After the wooden box fell into Song Qingming's hands, it quickly opened automatically. A golden light lit up, and everyone soon smelled a very strong medicinal fragrance.

"This is... That's right, this is the second-grade, top-grade longevity pill refined by our ancestor!"

Seeing the golden pill in the wooden box in Song Qingming's hand, Song Yuanfang recognized it immediately.

Hearing Song Yuanfang confirming that the elixir had been found, the people from the Bai family who were kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Bai Jinghua took out the elixir and stood up in time, otherwise they would probably have difficulty explaining the matter to Song Qingming today.

Bai Jingyun, who was standing there, was surprised and puzzled to see that Song Qingming had indeed found the elixir in his hand.

After practicing for so many years, Bai Jingyun was naturally aware of the value of the second-grade top-grade "Life Extension Pill". No wonder Bai Yunhua told him that the black array plate could give him a chance to build a foundation.

But what puzzled him was that his grandfather clearly had a longevity elixir that could prolong his life, so why didn't Bai Yunhua take it to refine the elixir, but instead insisted on leaving it to him.

After all, this second-grade top-grade "Longevity Pill" is a pill used to prolong life, and it is not a spiritual object like a foundation-building pill. Even if it is left to Bai Jingyun, it cannot guarantee that he will be able to successfully build a foundation in the future.

Although I know that my grandfather loves me very much and places all the family's hopes on me.

But when he learned that Bai Yunhua was facing the end of his lifespan and was reluctant to take this second-grade top-grade "longevity pill", Bai Jingyun still felt a little uncomfortable, and slowly realized the expectations of his family elders for him.

After finding the "longevity pill" that he had given to Bai Yunhua that year, Song Qingming's originally somewhat ugly expression suddenly changed and he fell into deep thought.

The reason why Song Qingming had to find this second-grade top-grade "Life Extension Pill" was not only to confirm the whereabouts of the pill, but also because he was a little worried that Bai Yunhua might have encountered some kind of coercion from some expert over the years.

Although a second-grade top-grade elixir is worth thousands of spirit stones, it is not considered a precious spiritual object to the current Golden Elixir Immortal Clan, the Song family.

Compared with these things, Song Qingming was more concerned about the "Qinghe Cave Mansion" thousands of miles away. If Bai Yunhua was really coerced and the information about the cave mansion was leaked, it would be a bit troublesome for Song Qingming.

Now that it was confirmed that the elixir was in Bai Jingyun's hands and that no one was interfering in the Bai family's affairs behind the scenes, Song Qingming breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, he put away the pill, turned around and walked to the unconscious Bai Yunhua.

"Friend Bai, even today I still don't understand why you did this, but you can rest assured about Jingyun's matter. As long as he can practice hard in the future, I will do my best to support Jingyun in building his foundation."

After saying this, Song Qingming turned around and left with Song Yuanfang, leaving behind the Bai family members who were still looking at each other in confusion.

Bai Yunhua, lying on the hospital bed, breathed his last breath without anyone noticing. He left this world forever.

A white light flashed, and the flying boat passed through the clouds and came high into the sky, heading quickly southward against the unique cold wind of winter.

Song Qingming, who was standing in the front, looked at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers below the clouds. He sighed softly and threw the "longevity pill" in his hand to Song Yuanfang behind him.

“When Fellow Daoist Bai is buried in a few days, you should come again to take Jingyun to Mount Funiu and teach him well for me. Don’t let him suffer any injustice in the future.

I have promised Bai Yunhua that I will definitely support Jingyun in building his foundation. When his cultivation reaches the right level, you must inform me in time.

If I am not at home, you should make your own arrangements and do not delay his journey or make me lose my credibility.

As for the Bai family, since Bai Yunhua is dead, you don’t have to worry too much about them from now on. Just evacuate all the people!

Tell Changze to take care of it, and don't let anyone cause trouble to Yuping Mountain for the next 20 years."

Song Yuanfang heard this, his face was a little heavy, and he bowed slightly and replied: "Don't worry, Seventh Uncle, I will arrange it after I return.

It was indeed my negligence at the beginning. I only arranged people around the periphery and did not notice the abnormality on Yuping Mountain. Yuan Fang was careless in his work, please punish me, Uncle Seventh!"

Hearing Song Yuanfang's self-blame, Song Qingming, who was standing in front, shook his head slightly and said: "I know about this matter. Although you are a little negligent, these are Bai Yunhua's own choices. You don't have to think too much about it.

Mortals are subject to birth, growth, sickness and death throughout their lives. Cultivators like us cannot escape the cycle of reincarnation either. It is understandable that we should think more about our younger generations if we have no hope in the path of cultivation.

No matter what Bai Yunhua's decision was, we have no reason to judge it. It's just that there is one less old friend in this world!"

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he sighed slightly, as if he was full of regret for the sudden departure of his old friend.

"Yuan Fang understands! Uncle Seventh, don't be too sad. Although some people died in the past, our Song family has many new people coming to the mountain every year. These children are also our hope for the future."

"Yes! You are right. The world of immortal cultivation has gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes. What we can see now is just a small part. I hope they can go further in the future and see more different scenery."

".."

A few days later, the news that Bai Yunhua, the foundation-building ancestor of the Bai family in "Yuping Mountain", had passed away quickly spread to the surrounding areas, and the entire "Yuping Mountain" fell into sadness.

Upon hearing that the Bai family's foundation-building ancestor had passed away, many of the surrounding independent cultivators who had been eyeing "Yuping Mountain" became interested in the legacy left by this foundation-building cultivator and rushed to "Yuping Mountain" to pay their respects and find out the truth.

However, when they arrived here, they saw a man in a green robe who had reached the late foundation building stage sitting at the top of the hall. They were so frightened that they hurried forward to salute him.

After Bai Yunhua's funeral, Song Yuanfang, who came to pay tribute on behalf of the Song family, took Bai Jingyun directly back to "Funiu Mountain" in front of everyone.

The surrounding immortal cultivation families and even the independent cultivators who came to pay homage who saw this scene all showed expressions of surprise.

After knowing that there was some unusual relationship between "Funiu Mountain" and the Bai family, these people did not dare to stay in "Yuping Mountain" for long. After finishing their condolences, they said goodbye and left.

From then on, several surrounding immortal cultivation families with similar strength no longer dared to look down on the Bai family.

Bai Jingyun has now gone to "Funiu Mountain" to practice. With his talent for practice and the support of the Song family, who knows when he will return after completing his foundation building.

Although the Bai family is now in decline due to the death of the foundation-building ancestor, as long as Bai Jingyun is around, there is definitely a great chance that the family will revive in the future.
-
As winter turns to spring and the earth slowly warms up, all things in the mountains, rivers and fields begin to revive, adding a lush green landscape to the entire world.

On this day, in a cave on the top of Funiushan Mountain.

After finishing a day of meditation and practice, Song Qingming slowly withdrew his magic power into his body, then stood up with a calm expression.

After Song Qingming returned from the "Tianhai Immortal Cultivation World", more than a year passed quickly.

The injuries that were still in his body have now almost recovered with the help of the healing pills made by Huang Siyuan.

After checking his body and making sure that there was nothing wrong, Song Qingming turned around and came to a secret room inside the cave where the "Spirit Gathering Array" was operating.

Looking at "Golden Wind" and "Silver Armor" who were practicing in the "Spirit Gathering Array", Song Qingming showed a trace of satisfaction on his face. He waved his hand lightly and a burst of white light appeared in his hand immediately.

Then, under Song Qingming's control, a "white lion puppet beast" suddenly appeared out of thin air in mid-air, with a large ball of white light under its feet.

This "White Lion Puppet Beast" was already of the third-grade upper grade, and was taken from Qiu Wuxin by Song Qingming when he was in the "Wind and Thunder Island" secret realm. After the "White Lion Puppet Beast" appeared, Jin Feng and Yin Jia in the "Spirit Gathering Array" also reacted immediately, and flew directly into the air, and then combined with the "White Lion Puppet Beast" to form a triangular array.

Seeing that the "Ten Thousand Spirits Puppet Array" composed of the three puppets in front of him had gathered magic power in mid-air, Song Qingming tapped his storage magic weapon again and took out the "Lihuo Red Heart Sword" that emitted a red light.

During this year or so, Song Qingming not only recovered from his injuries, but also successfully refined the "Lihuo Chixin Sword" in front of him and Qiu Wuxin's "White Lion Puppet Beast" for his own use.

A fourth-level low-grade flying sword magic weapon plus a third-level high-grade puppet beast, these two high-level spiritual objects that were hard to obtain, also greatly enhanced Song Qingming's fighting ability.

Although the third-grade inferior "White Rhino Puppet Beast" that Song Qingming had before was destroyed by Qiu Daoping in the battle with him, Song Qingming has now successfully sacrificed Qiu Wuxin's "White Lion Puppet Beast".

With the addition of the two corpse puppets "Golden Wind" and "Silver Armor" that have been almost repaired, the power of the "Ten Thousand Spirits Puppet Array" has increased instead of decreased compared to before.

After injecting his magic power into the "Lihuo Chixin Sword" in his hand, under Song Qingming's control, the flying sword turned into a red spiritual light and flew straight to the "Wanling Puppet Array" not far away.

There was a loud "boom"! Although there was a high-level magic array specially arranged by Song Qingming in the cave, the vibration still shook the entire mountaintop slightly.

Song Yuanfang, who had just reached the top of the mountain, was frightened by the sudden shaking and quickly took out his magic weapon. He slowly relaxed only after he realized that the abnormality came from Song Qingming's cave.

Then he quickly came to the outside of Song Qingming's cave and carefully sent a sound transmission talisman into Song Qingming's cave.

After dealing with the matter, Song Yuanfang did not stay for too long. He turned around and came to Song Qingyu's cave not far away, and also carefully sent in a talisman.

Just when Song Yuanfang was about to turn around and leave, the magic circle at the entrance of the cave suddenly emitted a burst of light, and then Song Qingyu's figure appeared in front of Song Yuanfang.

"Meet the great-aunt!"

After waving his hand to signal Song Yuanfang to stand up, Song Qingyu immediately asked softly: "Yuanfang, what happened on the mountain just now? Why was there such a big commotion?"

"Reporting to my great-aunt, nothing major happened on the mountain. It seems that my seventh uncle was practicing some kind of martial arts and caused the noise."

"Oh! It doesn't look like a breakthrough, why is there such a big commotion? I don't know what powerful technique Seventh Brother has been studying in seclusion for more than half a year.

Okay, you go back first! I'll go check on Brother Seven. No matter if he can come out, you can arrange the family meeting as usual. I'll definitely go down in a while."

"Yuan Fang understands!"

After giving instructions to Song Yuanfang, Song Qingyu turned around and came to the outside of Song Qingming's cave alone, and used his spiritual sense to observe it.

Seeing that the spiritual energy in the cave was fluctuating frequently, Song Qingyu was about to cast a spell to transmit his voice, but unexpectedly, Song Qingming's voice came out first.

"Qingyu! I don't have anything to do here, please come in first."

As soon as the sound disappeared, the white mist surrounding the cave entrance suddenly rolled, and soon a passage appeared in front of Song Qingyu.

"Seventh brother, Changze, Yuanhao and the others have returned and are waiting for us to go to the meeting room. I thought you were in seclusion to break through and couldn't come out, and you would miss this year's family meeting."

Seeing Song Qingyu coming in, Song Qingming put away the bamboo scrolls on the table and nodded to her, saying, "It's still a long way to go for me to break through. I've only been practicing an ordinary technique recently."

"What kind of ordinary martial arts can make such a big noise? Brother Qi, you are not lying to me, right?"

Seeing Song Qingyu staring at him curiously, Song Qingming realized that it might be because he had made too much noise in the secret room just now, so he immediately smiled and shook his head and explained:
“This technique is indeed a bit overbearing. After practicing to a high level, it is said that one can control the thunder method of all things in the world. However, it is also extremely difficult to practice. I have only just started.

If you are interested, you can take a look at it, but I only have the skills before the Golden Core Stage, and I haven’t comprehended the latter stages yet.”

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out a scroll of ancient bamboo slips in his hand and threw it directly to Song Qingyu.

After getting the bamboo slips, Song Qingyu glanced at them with his spiritual sense out of curiosity and then took the initiative to withdraw.

"The thunder method that controls all things in the world is indeed a bit overbearing. I remember that when Seventh Brother came back last year, he asked Yuan Fang and the others to search for the divine thunder of heaven and earth. Could it be that he was practicing this method?"

Hearing this, Song Qingming nodded slightly and smiled, "That's true, but the divine thunder of heaven and earth is very rare, so this technique is also extremely difficult to practice.

If you have time, it's fine to take a look, but if you want to practice, you need to be cautious. If you are not really interested, don't waste your energy on it."

"Seventh Brother is right. It's already tiring enough for me to practice the sword skills. How can I have the energy to practice this thunder technique? Seventh Brother, you should take it back!"

After Song Qingyu finished speaking, he threw the bamboo slips in his hand back to Song Qingming.

"Well! It's getting late, let's go down first! So as to save them from waiting for a long time."

After the two walked out of the cave, they soon arrived outside the family's "meeting room" at the foot of the mountain. At the door, they ran into Huang Siyuan, Xu Qingyin and her senior sister Li Xiuning who were walking towards them.

Since Huang Siyuan formed the elixir, she has focused most of her energy on refining the elixir. Except when Song Qingming and Song Qingyu are not around, she rarely takes the initiative to come to the family's "meeting room" to participate in these family affairs.

Seeing Huang Siyuan coming with two girls, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, who had just come out of isolation, looked quite surprised.

When Song Qingming was about to speak, Huang Siyuan took the initiative to speak to the two people behind her, letting the two women walk into the "conference room" first.

"I thought you two were in seclusion and couldn't come out, so I rushed here first. If I had known, I wouldn't have wasted time rushing here."

"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood me. I have already agreed with Yuan Fang that I will definitely come when I have time."

Huang Siyuan chuckled when she heard this and said, "You sound nice, but every time the date comes, I can't get away and I always push things to Yuan Fang and me.

Fortunately, there hasn't been any major incidents at home recently, otherwise I would have quit and just wait and see what you two siblings can do."

"Haha! Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I'm not like that. Seventh brother, you two haven't seen each other for so long, you must have a lot to talk about. I'll go in first!"

After being retorted by Huang Siyuan, Song Qingyu was suddenly speechless. He quickly turned around with a smile and ran to the "meeting room" not far away.

Seeing Song Qingyu fleeing in panic, Huang Siyuan and Song Qingming couldn't help but smile, then turned around and slowly followed him.

"Siyuan! Why are you walking with the two of them? Is there something fishy going on with Yuanhao again?"

Ever since Song Yuanhao and Xu Qingyin were arranged to go to "Cangyuan Mountain", with the help of elders such as Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, the relationship between the two has been steadily improving in recent years.

Although they are still inseparable, they have already developed feelings for each other, and others can see it.

Under their management, "Cangyuan Mountain" has not been as prosperous as "Baishiling" in recent years, but it has also undergone great changes. Song Qingming is still very satisfied with Song Yuanhao's performance in recent years.

Now that Song Yuanhao and Xu Qingyin are almost at the last step, Song Qingming is a little anxious about this, fearing that Song Yuanhao will cause some trouble at this critical moment.

Seeing a trace of worry on Song Qingming's face, Huang Siyuan smiled and shook her head and explained: "Don't worry, Yuan Hao and Qing Yin are fine, they will both achieve success sooner or later.

I didn’t go to look for Qingyin just now, but I had something to talk to Li Xiuning about.”

"Li Xiuning? What's wrong with her? Does she want to leave?"

Before Song Qingming finished speaking, Huang Siyuan immediately interrupted him with a wave of her hand and said, "My husband, please don't make random guesses. This matter has nothing to do with her. It was my good-for-nothing Meng De who took a fancy to her and came to me for this matter.

Meng De had been building his foundation for many years but still had no Taoist partner. He came to me for help. After all, I was his elder, so it was difficult for me to refuse him, so I asked Li Xiuning what he thought.

I don't know what's wrong with Meng De. He doesn't like so many female cultivators from the Qinghe County families, but he has his eyes on a married woman from outside. I'm really embarrassed to even ask him. "

"Oh! Haha. Although Li Xiuning had a Taoist partner before, she is single now. It's not a big deal. Don't worry about it."

When Song Qingming heard that Huang Siyuan was here for the matter of Huang family head Huang Mengde and Li Xiuning, he was stunned for a moment. He also didn't expect why Huang Mengde suddenly fell in love with Li Xiuning, a foreign cultivator.

“If it were any other junior, I wouldn’t want to worry about it, but Meng De is now the head of the Huang family after all. If this gets out, it will definitely be a bit unpleasant. I really don’t know what to say.

Anyway, I can't beat him, and I don't want to interfere. I have asked all the questions I should ask for him, and I'll just let nature take its course to see whether the rest can be accomplished!"

After Huang Siyuan finished speaking, she sighed and walked into the family's "meeting room" with Song Qingming.

When the many family elders sitting inside saw Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, they immediately stood up and bowed.

"Meet the Patriarch!" (End of this chapter)
