Chapter 43 Three Years Later
Time flies. Song Qingming originally thought that he would only be stationed in Lingyuan Mountain for one more year. Unexpectedly, he would extend his station for more than three years. Until now, the mortals of the Liu family who have been resettled have stabilized. Uncle Song Changxin just returned to Lingyuan Mountain.
Song Qingming then packed his bags and returned to Funiu Mountain. Sixth brother Song Qinghe seemed to like it here. Although his garrison time had come, he unexpectedly applied to stay in Lingyuan Mountain.
Under his careful management, the aura of the two acres of spiritual fields on the upper platform of the mine has almost stabilized. From a desolate scene overgrown with weeds and rocks, it has now become a spiritual place full of aura and lush green leaves. The ground is gone.
Three years have passed, and Song Qingming's delicate cheeks have become more mature and steady. Now he is no longer as confused about his own cultivation path as he was when he first came to Lingyuan Mountain.
Song Qingming has not only become a mid-level Talisman Maker, but his cultivation is also progressing steadily. In the past three years, relying on the blessings of the Jade Mysterious Sutra and the residual diagram, he has broken through to the sixth level of Qi refining in the past few days. Now in Song Qingming Among the younger generations in the family, except for the third brother Song Qingze, Song Qingming's cultivation level has steadily surpassed that of his other brothers and sisters.
Song Qingze's spiritual root is outstanding. From the beginning of his cultivation, he has been unparalleled among the Qing generation. Song Qingming got the news from Funiu Mountain a month ago. Song Qingze has begun to retreat to break through the seventh level of Qi refining. With his spiritual root qualifications Coupled with the family's vigorous training, his cultivation must have entered the late stage of Qi refining.
Song Qingze is only thirty-four years old now. At this age, he has cultivated to the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is already comparable to the direct descendants of those foundation-building clans. According to the progress of his cultivation, he will definitely be able to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining before he is fifty. If he can get a foundation-building pill by then, there is hope for foundation-building.
It's just a pity that he is in a weak Qi-refining family like the Song family. If he continues to stay in the clan in the future, the Song family will definitely not be able to provide him with foundation-building pills. The entire Song family's combined annual income is only four to five hundred spirits. Stones, excluding the consumption of monks in the clan, there is still a balance of 180 spirit stones every year. In times of disaster and war, it is necessary to subsidize the spirit stones from the treasury. After two hundred years of accumulation, more than 2,000 spirit stones have been saved. stone.
And a foundation-building pill requires at least 10,000 spirit stones, and it is still a rare spiritual object that has a price but no market. In the Wei Kingdom, only the Xiaoyao Sect sells a few every ten years, but it also needs to be a family that has made great contributions to the sect. Only those who are eligible to purchase, this situation means that Qi Refining families below the foundation level have no chance at all.
The reason why the Qian family in Qinghe County had the opportunity to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill four years ago was because there were Foundation Establishment monks in their ancestors who had made great contributions to the Xiaoyao Sect. Only in Qian Guangyao's generation did they have the opportunity to redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill. Chance.
If you leave Weiguo and go to other countries thousands of miles away, even if a Qi-refining family like the Song family can come up with 10,000 spirit stones, they may not be able to successfully buy a Foundation Establishment Pill. I'm afraid they haven't returned to Weiguo yet. Someone will be watching, and the family's savings of hundreds of years may be wiped out in one go, and the entire family's wealth and life may be at risk.
Now that Song Qingming has completed his six-year garrison mission and has had at least six years of free training time, he has returned to the cave in Funiu Mountain. Song Qingming quickly applied with his family to go to the Fuyun Mountains for some training.
Now his cultivation level is improving steadily according to his own progress. In the past few years, he has accumulated a lot of spiritual stones by making intermediate spiritual talismans. He has no shortage of elixirs and spiritual stones for cultivation. He still has hundreds of them. Spiritual stone.
In the past few years, Song Qingming has been living in Lingyuan Mountain without Uncle Ninth. In order to be on the safe side, Song Qingming did not dare to take action against the monsters that invaded the formation. When encountering high-level monsters, he had to release a messenger to notify his family to come for help. Now he feels that he His fighting skills are much worse, and he has long wanted to find a place to practice his magical powers after practicing the Jade Mysterious Sutra.
This was also his long-planned plan. He would go to the Fuyun Mountains to practice for a few years, and then inquire about where to find the Foundation Establishment Pill.
In the entire Wei Kingdom, apart from the Xiaoyao Sect, only the black market near the Fuyun Mountains had Foundation Establishment Pills flowing out. Although it was still early for Foundation Establishment, he still had to make some preparations for himself early. Although he had the equivalent of Foundation Establishment Pills in his hand. Dan's water spirit fruit, but how to replace the water spirit fruit with the foundation building pill is a problem that gives him a headache now.
Taking the water spirit fruit directly to the Xiaoyao Sect is of course the safest way for him, but now that the Liu family incident has happened, the Xiaoyao Sect will definitely doubt the origin of the spirit fruit on his body. Even if he tells the truth, it is inevitable that they will not I believe that if they used spiritual objects like the God-Questing Talisman on themselves, the water spirit fruit incident would be easy to explain. But if the secrets of the remaining images on his body were revealed, Song Qingming would be doomed.
It is difficult for monks below the Golden Core level to resist the inquiry of the second level divine talisman. Once he steps into a place like Xiaoyao Sect, it will be difficult for him to control his own destiny. Only by forming a Golden Core in the future can he avoid this danger. .
After arriving at the Cangjin Pavilion, Song Gu saw that he had made another breakthrough in his cultivation. He couldn't help but be a little envious, but he didn't think much about it. He also felt that Song Qingming's cultivation was so fast because of the few spiritual fruits he had eaten back then.
Song Qingming and the fourth elder Song Gucai applied for three years to leave the family for training. Song Qingming did not expect that his move would alarm the clan leader Song Gushan.
Song Gushan has been the patriarch of the Song family for almost thirty years. Although he has not made any obvious contribution to the development of the Song family over the years, he has a calm personality and a broad mind. He is also a patriarch who is deeply loved by his clan. During his tenure, In the past ten years, nothing major has happened to the Song family, and the family has been moving forward steadily.
Song Gushan just celebrated his 100th birthday last year. Although he looks rosy on the surface, his lifespan during the Qi refining period is a maximum of 120 years, and now he only has a dozen years left.
He wanted to give some advice, but after several words and looking at Song Qingming whose eyes were full of determination, Song Gushan finally nodded and agreed to let him go out for training.
"Qing Ming, although you have been to the Fuyun Mountains, you still need to be more careful when you go out. There are many intrigues in the world of immortality. People who do anything for their own benefit must not trust others. I give you this high-grade spiritual talisman for self-defense. , it can be regarded as a little bit of kindness from me as an elder. The clan is not very well-off, so don’t dislike it. "
After Song Gushan finished speaking, he handed over a blue magic talisman in his hand, and his face was full of joy. Among the young monks in the clan, there were not many monks like Song Qingming who took the initiative to go out for training. After all, monks can go out more to practice. Walking is naturally more beneficial to the path. Although it is safer to practice hard in the mountains, practicing too comfortably also makes monks more likely to encounter bottlenecks in cultivation.
"Qing Ming, thank the clan leader for the treasure."
Song Qingming took the spiritual talisman and took a look. It was a rare high-grade green light talisman. It should be the treasure of the clan leader, a high-grade spiritual talisman master. Although he did not lack spiritual talismans now, he also had it in Guiyunfang last time. He bought a few high-grade spiritual talismans, but even if Song Qingming can't use these spiritual objects for the time being, he can always go to the market to exchange them for spiritual stones to buy other spiritual objects. For him, the more things that can be exchanged for spiritual stones, the better. After putting the magic talisman into the storage bag, Song Qingming lowered his head and bowed his hands to the two elders, and then slowly exited the Golden Pavilion.
Song Gucai saw that Song Qingming had left, and said softly to the clan leader Song Gushan in front of him with some reluctance: "Fifth brother, Qingming is one of the most promising members of the younger generation of the family. Let him go to the Fuyun Mountains to train alone. It’s not a bit rash.”
After hearing this, Patriarch Song Gushan paused and said, "Don't worry, last time in such a critical situation in the Fuyun Mountains, Qing Ming was able to return safely, and he also got an unexpected opportunity, which shows that not only does he act calmly, They are still lucky people, and it will be good for their future if they go out and gain more experience.”
