Chapter 15 Qingyu returns

Gao Yuyao,

Watching a wisp of pink smoke drifting away in the wind, Song Qingming couldn't help but recite the name he just heard.

Song Qingming finally got a bottle of elixir that could increase his cultivation. After hurried back to Lingyuan Mountain, he quickly returned home to try the effect of the elixir.

The Qi-nourishing pill is a middle-grade spiritual pill. The spiritual energy it contains is almost equal to the spiritual energy that a monk in the middle stage of normal Qi-refining can refine in a month. After Song Qingming refined a Qi-nourishing pill, he clearly felt that the spiritual energy in his body had increased a little, which made him He was secretly happy.

The effect of this Qi-nourishing pill did not disappoint him. The bottle of elixir in his hand could save him almost a year of hard training. It was a pity that such a elixir could only be taken once a month at most.

The elixirs are all refined from the essence of plants and trees, spiritual water and spiritual things. Ordinary elixirs contain a hint of erysipelas and cannot be used without restraint. For low-level elixirs such as the Qi Nourishing Pill, it takes almost a month to completely eliminate the erysipelas. Outside the body of the monk.

If the elixir is taken without restraint for a long time, the erysipelas will accumulate in the body, which will bring great risks to the monk's subsequent practice.

This bottle of Qi-nourishing pills is enough for him to practice alone for a year. If there are more pills, he can also take them to the Hidden Gold Pavilion to earn a few spiritual stones.

With the cultivation elixirs provided by Gao Yuyao for a long time, Song Qingming finally had a way to increase his cultivation speed. Whether it was the previous refining formations or the subsequent learning of talisman making, Song Qingming's purpose of earning spiritual stones has always been Or for the sake of his own cultivation.

Without the ability to build a foundation, a monk in the Qi Refining Stage will have a limited lifespan and will eventually turn into a pile of loess after a hundred years.

The lifespan of a monk in the Qi refining stage is only about 120 years, but after establishing the foundation, his lifespan can be increased by 20 years, and if he can take some second-level life-extending elixirs, he can usually live to about 250 years old.

If a monk wants to build a foundation, it is best to reach the ninth level of Qi refining before the age of sixty. After a Qi refining monk turns sixty, his body's energy, energy, and blood will gradually lose, and it will become more and more difficult to build a foundation.

Although foundation building is still far away from him, if he practices normally, it is a question whether Song Qingming can reach the late stage of Qi refining when he is sixty years old. He must speed up his practice.

After a night of practice, Song Qingming was about to go to the mine for inspection in the early morning of the next day. As soon as he reached the Crescent Lake, he suddenly felt a slight fluctuation in the mountain guarding formation. A white communication talisman slowly passed through the formation and entered. Lingyuan Mountain.

The four martial arts masters guarding the formation at the entrance of the village saw the communication talisman flying in from outside the formation. They were about to report to Song Qingming, but saw him walking over from a distance. Song Qingming took the talisman and took a closer look, with a look on his face. Smiling, he quickly ordered the martial artist guarding the formation to open the mountain guarding formation.

Outside the formation, there were more than a dozen figures standing, and the two of them had already arrived in front of Song Qingming.

The leader was a pretty woman in white, who looked to be around thirty years old, and was followed by a little girl in her teens.

A comely beauty, Song Changling is a monk of the same generation as the Song family. She is at the sixth level of Qi refining and is the only top-grade talisman maker in the Song family.

Song Changling's cultivation talent was average. He was just a Four Spiritual Roots monk, but he was quite talented in making talismans. Song Qingming had learned how to make talismans before and went to ask her for advice.

"The little girl has made good progress in her cultivation recently, but she is a little homesick. The elder allowed her to go home for a day and asked me to take her here and collect the black iron ore for the past six months." Song Changling finished speaking and pointed to the door behind him. Little girl.

The little girl next to Song Changling was Song Qingyu whom Song Qingming sent to Funiu Mountain a few months ago. At this moment, she had introduced Qi into her body and became a first-level Qi refining monk.

The Three Spiritual Root cultivators are indeed extraordinary. It took Song Qingming half a year to introduce Qi into his body before he successfully entered the Tao. This little girl reached this level in just three or four months. This cultivation speed is not the slightest bit fast.

Looking at Song Qingyu behind him with a somewhat impatient look, Song Changling nodded slightly to her. Upon seeing this, the little girl smiled, said hello to Song Qingming, and then ran towards her home in three steps and two steps at a time. And went.

"Fifth Aunt, why are you the only one in the family here this time?"

Song Qingming was a little surprised when he saw the two of them. Transporting black iron ore worth forty spiritual stones was enough to arouse the greed of the monks in the late stage of Qi Refining. In the past, when the Song family came to transport the ore, they would appoint at least three monks in the middle stage of Qi Refining and above. When encountering ordinary casual cultivators in the late stage of Qi refining, even if they are defeated, they can still support their families to come to their aid.

Only Song Changling came this time, and he had to take care of Song Qingyu, who had just embarked on the path of cultivation. If he encountered the gangsters from last time, it would be a disaster.

Seeing that Song Qingming was worried, Song Changling smiled and explained: "Last time, the Gao family took the lead in causing trouble. Recently, Qinghe County has been much peaceful. This time, the second elder is also here. He is waiting for us at the foot of the mountain to escort the black iron ore like this How can the family dare to let me come alone for such an important matter?"

Song Qingming took Song Changling and others to the warehouse where the ore was stored, and collected the black iron ore mined in the past six months.

The more than a dozen family martial arts masters brought from Funiu Mountain this time have been to Lingyuan Mountain many times to transport ore, and are very familiar with this place. Song Qingming called for dozens of absentees to help, and everyone spent half a day to sort out a few of them. The materials on the carriage were moved down, and the black iron ore collected during this period was loaded on the carriage.

Lingyuan Mountain is located in a valley, which is full of rugged mountains. Unlike Mujiao Town, the surrounding areas are flat and can cultivate a large amount of farmland. The mortals of the family here have always been in short supply of food, and they still need to receive some supplements from Mujiao Town every year.

Every time a family comes to collect ore, they will transport some living materials that are usually unavailable to mortals in the mountains here to meet the needs of mortals here. Once this happens, every family in Lingyuan Mountain will happily take them. Large and small sacks and bamboo baskets were brought to the grain drying field in the village, waiting to receive these daily necessities. It was very lively.

Song Qingyu has been practicing in Funiu Mountain for several months. There are not many children of the same age on the mountain. She is faced with boring study and practice all day long. Returning to Lingyuan Mountain can be regarded as liberating her child's nature.

Not long after returning home to meet her parents, Song Qingyu ran out to look for her former playmates in the village. While talking about what she had seen and heard in the mountains, she also showed off her abilities that were different from ordinary people after practicing, and brought those in the village to her. Children of the same age were shocked when they saw it.

The strength of the Qi Refining Stage monks is several times that of ordinary mortals. The little girl led the group of children running around the village, showing off a few small spells she had just learned.

The flames and rain in his hands frightened the surrounding villagers and they quickly took their children home, fearing that the ignorant little immortal would accidentally hurt their children.

The little girl took one last look and saw that she was the only one left. She felt a little bored and could only return home alone with some sadness.

After Song Qingming came to Lingyuan Mountain, the operation of the black iron ore veins has been relatively smooth. This year's output is half a percent more than last year. Song Changling looked at the account book of the black iron mines handed over by a martial artist and nodded with satisfaction to Song Qingming. nodded.

The black iron ore in Lingyuan Mountain can produce hundreds of pieces of ore every year. The Song family usually does not sell these black iron ores directly to the market. Instead, they will be transported to Funiu Mountain first, and then used by the family's refiners. After forging into various kinds of magic weapons, they are then sold in the family shop in Qinghefang, which can double the value of the original black iron ore.

It was just after noon, after everyone had eaten, they were ready to return, and the little girl reluctantly left her parents.

Song Changling led everyone slowly down Lingyuan Mountain.
