Chapter 81 The wanderer returns home
After breaking through his cultivation level, Song Qingming suddenly transformed into more than a dozen low-level spiritual stones, and used this spiritual energy to slowly stabilize his cultivation level.
It was not until five days later that Song Qingming finally stabilized his cultivation at the seventh level of Qi training. Then he ended his more than half-month-long retreat and walked out of the gate of his cave.
Standing thousands of feet high in Guiyun Mountain, Song Qingming looked at the small city below the mountain, which was as small as stars. The thoughts in Song Qingming's mind were surging like a sea of clouds.
It has only been ten years since he came down the mountain to station at Lingyuan Mountain at the age of twenty. Song Qingming has gone from a low-level monk who was confused and had just broken through the fourth level of Qi refining to a mature Qi refining person. Later monks.
At the later stage of Qi refining, the monk's spiritual consciousness can already be released outside the body. Song Qingming closed his eyes tightly and used his spiritual consciousness to explore the surroundings. He found that every plant and tree within a radius of ten feet from him could be controlled by the energy in his body. Divine consciousness senses them one by one.
After the spiritual consciousness is released, the monks can more easily sense the opponent's moves in advance during the battle. This is also the biggest reason why the fighting ability of the monks in the late stage of Qi refining is much stronger than that of the monks in the middle stage of Qi refining.
Half an hour later, Song Qingming put away his thoughts and slowly walked down Guiyun Mountain to the Feiyun Guards station in Fang City.
In the station, the monks of Xiaoyao Sect were on duty. Seeing Song Qingming's successful breakthrough in cultivation, he said with some envy:
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Song. You have finally succeeded in breaking through the cultivation base in this retreat. However, it is really unlucky for you to come this time. The 11th Guards have received the mission a few days ago. Do you want to wait or should I introduce it to you for now?" Go to other guards."
In order to achieve this breakthrough in seclusion, Song Qingming had already taken leave from Feiyunwei early. This was the third time in the past two years.
Song Qingming shook his head and replied: "You don't have to worry about it, Fellow Daoist Li. I'm going to leave Guiyunfang for a while. This time, I want to temporarily resign from my position as Feiyun Guard. I also asked Fellow Daoist to help me handle the handover matters. I'll wait for Lu The captain is back, please help me inform him."
Hearing that Song Qingming was about to resign from Feiyun Guard, the Xiaoyao Sect monk on duty quickly tried to persuade him. Feiyun Guard had been short of manpower in recent years, and the departure of every Feiyun Guard monk was a big blow to them. It's a very headache.
"I left this time because when I left home, I made an appointment with my family to return. Now that the agreed date is approaching, I am really afraid that I will be late to go back and make my family worried."
Seeing that Song Qingming had already made up his mind to leave, this man did not try to persuade him to stay, and soon helped Song Qingming exchange all his remaining achievements for spiritual stones and handed them over to him.
After leaving Feiyun Guard, Song Qingming went to Tianfeng Tower again, booked a banquet, invited Shi Chun and the others here, and said goodbye to them.
Song Qingming had been in Guiyunfang for so many years, but he had not really made many friends. Shi Chun and the other three had given him a helping hand when he needed help the most, and Song Qingming would always remember this in his heart.
Shi Chun's cultivation has also improved rapidly in the past few years, and he is not far from the late stage of Qi refining. After Zhang Tieshan's breakthrough two years ago, his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi refining. Only Qin Yuniang does not seem to be very interested in cultivation. Why is it still only the fourth level of Qi Refining?
Although Hu Daozhen from Tianfeng Tower has average cultivation talent, he has earned a lot of cultivation resources by relying on his spiritual cooking skills. As a casual cultivator, he has already reached the fifth level of Qi refining before he was thirty years old. He is no better than Fu. The monks from the small families of the Song family in Niushan practiced slowly.
Several people gathered in Tianfeng Tower from day to night.
Until they were about to separate, Song Qingming suddenly said to Shi Chun and the others: "Fellow Taoists, I have forgotten to explain one thing to you. In fact, my name is not Song San. I, Song Qingming, am a family monk. If you want to look for me in the future, you can come to Funiu Mountain in Qinghe County to find me."
Hearing Song Qingming's words, Shi Chun and the others didn't show much surprise on their faces. Just as Song Qingming expected, they were all casual cultivators who had been living in the city for many years. They were not surprised by monks like Song Qingming who didn't use their real names. .
Qin Yuniang smiled sweetly and said: "Actually, we have known for a long time that you cannot call you Song San by such a common name, but Brother Song, if you can tell us frankly, you really treat us as friends."
"Song San was also my name before I started practicing Taoism. It is indeed very common."
After bidding farewell to Shi Chun and the others, Song Qingming packed his luggage and left Guiyunfang early the next morning.
Before the retreat, Song Qingming had already decided that as long as he successfully broke through to the late stage of Qi refining, he would return to Qinghe County immediately.
After nearly four years of training outside, although Song Qingming failed to find accurate information about the Foundation Establishment Pill, his cultivation had reached the late stage of Qi Refining, which could be regarded as completing a goal he had set in his mind.
In the past few years in Feiyun Guard, both his fighting ability and his mentality when facing danger have grown a lot. It can be said that he has undergone a very obvious transformation compared to four years ago.
After leaving Guiyunfang, Song Qingming used the wind technique he had just learned, and his body turned into a breeze, beating quickly among the mountains, rivers and trees.
After reaching the late stage of Qi refining, he could walk much faster than before. After using his magic power to reduce his own weight, he could still run quickly on the slender branches of the tree, as if gliding in the air.
Just when Song Qingming rushed back to Qinghe County, on Funiu Mountain in Qinghe County, Song Gubai, the eldest elder of the Song family with a sad look on his face, was discussing a major matter related to the future destiny of the Song family with the patriarch Song Gushan.
"Clan leader, we cannot let Qingze go to Xiaoyao Sect. He is the person with the highest cultivation talent in our Song family in the past decades, and he is also the family's hope for future prosperity."
Song Gushan looked at the elder who had worked hard for the Song family with him for decades. After a long time, he nodded and said with some embarrassment: "Third brother, I don't know what you said, and you also know it." This time, the candidate we selected in advance was originally Qingyu, but now Qingze has taken the initiative to propose that he wants to go to Xiaoyao Sect. He has already made up his mind when he comes to talk to me. How can I impose obstacles? After all, this matter is related to His way.”
"Qing Yu is still young, and we still don't know whether her future will be smooth or not. Currently, only Qing Ze can take the lead among the Qing generation. If he goes to Xiaoyao Sect, once Changfeng and the others are gone, the family monks will no longer be able to take over. , I am afraid that it will decline soon, and it will be difficult to escape the fate of being annexed by other surrounding family forces." Song Gubai sighed unwillingly and continued.
Song Gushan smiled bitterly and said: "Don't be too discouraged. Our family has experienced so many setbacks and tribulations in the past two hundred years, but we have survived them all. Qingze chose to offer to join the Xiaoyao Sect, which shows that the development of the family in his mind is far from His own path is important. To be honest, if he is like this, can you rest assured that the family will be in his hands in the future? "
"Since he has chosen to go to Xiaoyao Sect, after much thought, I decided to let him go. If we force him to stay, it is inevitable that he will have a grudge against the family in the future, which may not be a good thing for the family. , but it’s a long way to go to Xiaoyao Zongshan, and his future can only depend on himself. The family has been extremely kind to him over the years. "
