Chapter 100 Breakthrough in Cultivation
Half a year later, in an empty place at the back of Funiu Mountain, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy was sitting on a flat stone platform, meditating motionlessly with his eyes closed.
From early morning to the scorching sun, several hours have passed. This young man still maintains this meditating posture motionless, as if time has stopped here. This young man has become one with the boulder under him. .
The breeze was blowing gently, and a fallen leaf drifted just above the young man. What was strange was that when the fallen leaf floated a finger away from the young man's body, it suddenly changed its direction for some reason, turned around and slid towards the young man. above the ground.
As soon as the fallen leaves touched the ground, the young man suddenly opened a pair of bright eyes, stood up nervously, and looked at the burst of spiritual light emitting from the mountain wall in front of him. After confirming again that he had seen it correctly, the young man's face He showed a happy smile, jumped down from the boulder, and quickly ran straight ahead.
After passing through the bamboo forest half a mile ahead, the young man came to a cave shrouded in clouds and mist. Seeing that the door of the cave in the mist had not yet been opened, the young man hesitated for a moment and then stopped moving forward. Patiently stood not far outside the door.
A stick of incense passed slowly, and the clouds and mist outside the cave were suddenly blown away by a breeze. A man in green clothes opened the door of the cave and slowly walked out.
After seeing the young man, the boy hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "My nephew, congratulations to Uncle Qi for his successful release from confinement."
The man in green waved his hand, looked at the young man outside the door and said with a smile on his face: "Xinhu, are you here because the old patriarch wants to see me?"
Song Xinhu nodded and said: "A few days ago, my great-uncle asked me to come here and wait for you. He said that when you come out of seclusion, he asked you to go find him immediately."
"Oh! You go back and report to the clan leader first, and then say, I'll clean up here and I'll be here right away."
After Song Xinhu left, Song Qingming, who had just come out of seclusion, returned to his cave again, took out a dark green storage bag, opened it, checked it, took it with him and quickly left here.
After staying in Funiu Mountain for half a year, Song Qingming's cultivation was finally ready for a breakthrough. For this reason, half a month ago, he did not hesitate to use a middle-grade spiritual stone that he had obtained in Yunwu Mountain not long ago. After spending half a month in seclusion with the power of this spiritual stone, he finally successfully raised his cultivation level to the eighth level of Qi refining.
Since Song Qingming became an elder, he has also been qualified to practice in the back mountain. Six months ago, Song Qingming had already selected a place with better spiritual energy here, then opened a new cave and moved here directly.
Now his cave was not far from the old clan leader's cave, but it was only four or five miles away. It didn't take long for Song Qingming to get there quickly.
The old patriarch Song Gushan still has the same kind face, but he has a few more gray hairs than when Song Qingming returned from traveling abroad a few years ago.
In the cave, not only Song Qingming came, but also several other elders of the Song family.
The elders of the Song family have their own family affairs to take care of. In the past few years that Song Qingming has been an elder, except for the clan meeting at the end of the year, this is the first time he has seen so many people here. It seems that the clan leader has something important to discuss. .
After saying hello to several elders, Song Qingming sat on a chair next to him. Every time there was a meeting in the clan, juniors like him didn't talk much, so it was better to sit farther away.
During the years when Song Qingming was in Qinghefang, someone in the Song family also broke through to the late stage of Qi refining and added an elder. This person was Song Qingwan, the second eldest son of the Qing generation who went to Qinghefang to replace Song Qingming.
Although the second sister Song Qingwan's spiritual talent is average, she learned a good skill and became an alchemist early. In the past few years, she has broken through to the middle level of alchemy. She is considered to have the highest alchemy talent in the Song family. One person.
Relying on her good alchemy skills, Song Qingwan almost monopolized the supply of elixirs to most monks in the Song family, earned a lot of spiritual stones, and steadily improved her cultivation to the late stage of Qi refining.
The Song family has been in turmoil in the past few years. Song Qingze, the most talented person, went to Xiaoyao Sect. Song Gubai, the great elder of the ninth level of Qi refining, ran out of longevity and sat on the mountain. He lost two late-stage Qi refining monks at once, and his strength was greatly damaged. .
Fortunately, now, Song Qingming and Song Qingwan have broken through the late stage of Qi refining one after another, making up for the shortage of family elders, and the Song family has finally recovered its vitality.
The old patriarch Song Gushan saw that Song Qingming had made another breakthrough in his cultivation. He nodded to him very pleased and said, "Now that Qingming has been released from seclusion, Changfeng, please tell everyone about the matter again."
"Five days ago, the Huang family issued an edict to us, asking us to cooperate with them in clearing away the monsters in Chifeng Ridge in one month. According to the letter from the Huang family, we will dispatch at least six monks this time. In the past few days, I have talked to several nearby companies, and their situation is similar to ours. I just heard that the Huang family has hired help this time, probably because they want to take down the second-level spiritual vein of Chifengling in one fell swoop. "Sixth uncle Song Changfeng took a sip of tea and said calmly.
The fourth elder Song Gucai touched the long beard at the corner of his mouth and said: "The Huang family has not issued such an edict for many years. Their family already has a lot of spiritual veins, why are they still thinking about other second-level spiritual veins? Is it difficult? Maybe someone in their family is going to build a foundation again, and counting the time, it seems that it is possible. "
"The monster turmoil is approaching. Chifengling is too close to the Huang family's territory. The Huang family may also want to solve this hidden danger in advance."
Everyone speculated for a long time, with all kinds of ideas, but in the end they couldn't get around the fact that the Huang family seemed to have spent a lot of money on Chifengling this time, and they were definitely going to win.
"There are many monsters in Chifengling, and there is also a powerful foundation-building monster. To be on the safe side, I will go with Changxin and Qingming this time, while Changfeng and Qingwan will stay behind in the clan." After a brief discussion, Finally, the old patriarch made a preliminary decision on the candidates for this mission.
"Patriarch, let me lead the team this time. Everyone will feel more at ease if you stay on the mountain." Sixth Uncle Song Changfeng was a little worried when he heard that the old patriarch was going down the mountain in person, and wanted to go and carry out this mission on behalf of the old patriarch. Task.
After all, the old patriarch is an old man who is over a hundred years old. If he takes action rashly, it will easily consume his energy and affect his lifespan. Everyone is also worried about this.
"Don't think too much. I'm not at the point where I can't take action yet. After I come down from the mountain, I'll leave the house to you." Song Gushan shook his head happily and decided to go on the mission himself.
In addition to ninth uncles Song Changxin and Song Qingming who were on the eighth level of Qi Refining, this mission also included three sixth-level Qi Refining monks: Fifth Aunt Song Changling, Thirteenth Uncle Song Changxiong and Fourth Brother Song Qingrui.
Together with Song Gushan, the old patriarch of the ninth level of Qi Refining, they can be regarded as the most elite force of the Song family now.
After the matter was discussed, everyone left the old patriarch's cave one after another.
After everyone else left, Song Qingming mysteriously took out a storage bag and handed it to Song Gushan.
"Qingming, what are you doing?" Song Gushan did not directly open the storage bag in his hand, but asked Song Qingming with some confusion.
