Chapter 91 Senior’s Cave
After introducing Song Xinhu, the old patriarch no longer tried to persuade Song Qingming to stay.
Two days later, Song Qingming returned to Qinghefang again after extracting some spiritual objects from the four elders of Cangjin Pavilion.
As soon as he returned to the Song family's shop, before Song Qingming had time to hand over the things he had brought from Funiu Mountain, his fourth uncle Song Changqiu pulled him aside and said to him with a mysterious face:
"Qing Ming, you are finally back. An old Taoist priest has been looking for you for several days. I heard Wang Cheng said that he has some friendship with you. This guy has been asking you every day for the past few days when you will be back. He is probably worried about something. Looking for you, he still refused to tell me when I asked him. He only left me an address and asked you to come back and find him. "
After speaking, the fourth uncle took out a white cloth strip from the drawer behind the counter and handed it to Song Qingming.
"The old Taoist priest, I still have some friendship with him."
Song Qingming took the cloth and opened it. As expected, it was Chen Laodao, a shrewd old man, who was looking for him.
What urgent matter could this old guy have for him? Could it be that his fourth uncle could trick him into buying and selling things? Song Qingming shook his head with confusion on his face.
After putting the things he brought with him into the store, Song Qingming went out again and came to an inn at the other end of Qinghefang.
Unlike Guiyunfang, Qinghefang is backed by the third-level spiritual vein of Guiyuan Mountain. There is no place in Fang City to open caves and rent them to various monks who come here.
There are only a few large inns operating in Fangshi that can be rented by monks who do not live in Fangshi. Chen Laodao has basically lived here in Qinghefang in the past few years.
Qinghefang's spiritual veins are only of the second-level middle grade. There are two foundation-building and hundreds of Qi-refining monks stationed in the city all year round. In addition, the number of casual cultivators from outside has gradually increased in recent years. The spiritual veins in the city have gradually been overwhelmed. .
A late-stage Qi refining monk like Song Qingming occasionally had to refine some spirit stones in order not to delay his cultivation progress.
Nearly four years have passed since he broke through the seventh level of Qi Refining in Guiyunfang. Although Song Qingming's cultivation has improved, there is still a long way to go before he can break through the eighth level of Qi Refining.
After reaching the late stage of Qi Refining, Song Qingming suddenly felt that the progress of his cultivation had suddenly slowed down a lot. The progress of the monks in the late stage of Qi Refining was at least twice as difficult as that in the previous middle stage of Qi Refining.
Under normal circumstances, it would take at least ten years for a four-spirited monk like Song Qingming to break through to the first level of Qi refining in the later stage of Qi refining. Even if he now has no shortage of elixirs, spiritual stones, or special high-level spiritual objects. , it will take at least one or two years for him to break through to the eighth level of Qi refining.
It was precisely because of the slow progress of his cultivation that he had more time to complete the Feng Yuan Soul Forging Art in the past few years.
After asking around with the guy in charge of the store, Song Qingming quickly found where Chen Laodao lived.
Seeing Song Qingming coming to visit, Chen Laodao invited him into his room with excitement.
"Song Xiaoyou, you're finally here. I've been looking for you several times. Unfortunately, I heard that you left Qinghefang some time ago. I can only leave a message to wait for you here."
Song Qingming smiled slightly and replied: "I have something to do at home, so I happened to go back. I don't know why Senior Chen is so anxious to find me this time."
After Chen Laodao carefully released a soundproof barrier around the two of them, he said with a cautious expression: "That's it, Song Xiaoyou, Lao Tao accidentally found a senior cave some time ago. Unexpectedly, there are many restrictions in the cave, so Lao Tao tried I have been here for many years and have never been able to enter it. I invited you here this time because I want to invite you to go with me. I just want to use my ability as a magician. I hope Xiaoyou Song can help me. "
"Senior Cave! I wonder where this cave is, is it far from us?" Song Qingming was a little surprised when he heard Chen Laodao's words.
I thought that Chen Laodao came to me because he had some business to discuss, but I didn't expect that this old guy wanted to get me to join him to explore the cave of the senior monk.
The world of immortality has a history of more than 100,000 years. Many senior casual cultivators with advanced cultivation will build themselves a hidden cave in some inaccessible places. Finding such a cave in the wild depends entirely on the monks' own luck.
The owners of caves in places like this will set up severe protection restrictions for the caves. Exploring the caves of such dangerous ancient cultivators may yield unexpected gains, but it may also be a burial place that you will never return to.
"This cave is actually not too far from Qinghefang. It is located in the Yunwu Mountain to the east. A round trip only takes a month at most. I have been to that place several times, and there are no powerful monsters nearby.
Don’t worry, little friend, this time I also invited a Taoist friend who is in the late stage of Qi refining to go with me. As long as the Taoist friend can help break the restrictions there, no matter what appears after entering the cave, I will count it for you. One serving. "Seeing Song Qingming's hesitation, Chen Laodao said with a hint of joy on his face.
"Senior found me about this, but is there any other reason?"
Hearing this, Old Dao Chen paused and then said: "Little friend Song also knows that I am not a local monk, and there are not many people who can be trusted here. I have known you for several years, and I can still trust you for your Taoist character.
In addition, I have seen that my little friend's formation strength is really good before. With the Taoist friend's magical power, I have great hope of breaking the restrictions in that cave, so I went directly to the Taoist friend. "
"Senior Chen, I'm really sorry. I have no interest in the cave left by my senior. There are still many formation masters in the city. Senior, you might as well find someone else. Please rest assured, I am definitely not talking too much. This matter will definitely rot in your stomach."
After Song Qingming thought about it for a while, he still didn't want to explore the cave of his predecessors with Chen Laodao. Now that he didn't lack spiritual stones, there was really no need to take this risk. He bowed his hands to Chen Laodao and turned around to leave the inn. .
Song Qingming suddenly refused, which surprised Chen Laodao and froze him on the spot.
Seeing that Song Qingming was about to leave, Chen Laodao hesitated for a moment and then said to Song Qingming: "Didn't Little Friend Song keep asking me some time ago if there are any other parts of the exercise I sold you? This time, little friend If you are willing to go with me, there is a high chance that you will get the follow-up skills you want."
When Chen Laodao mentioned the follow-up technique of Feng Yuan Soul Forging Jue that he had been thinking about for a while, Song Qingming stopped involuntarily, turned around and asked:
"Could it be that the technique that Senior Chen obtained originally came from the cave of this senior monk?"
Seeing that Song Qingming was persuaded by him, Chen Laodao continued with excitement: "Song Xiaoyou guessed right, I found this technique in this cave, but I only entered the outer part of the cave and only got some classics , Kung Fu, including this Kung Fu in Song Xiaoyou’s hands. If we can successfully open the restriction in the cave, it is indeed possible for Xiaoyou to get what he wants. I can make the decision and promise Xiaoyou, as long as we find the follow-up to Feng Yuan Soul Forging Art. I can give you the skills first, and as for the other treasures in the cave, I can give you a share as I said before."
After hearing what the other party said, Song Qingming still did not agree immediately, but thought about it and then said: "Senior Chen, how about you let me think about this matter? Senior, wait for me here for a day, and I will definitely give it to fellow Taoist tomorrow. A reply."
"Okay! I will wait here for a day, little friend. If you really don't want to go, I will try with other people to see if there are suitable candidates who know the formation." Chen Laodao smiled very considerately. said.
