Chapter 436 The road is not easy

When Song Qingming suddenly asked for his opinion, Song Yuanfang was stunned for a moment.

Since the establishment of the Song family, the patriarch has basically only discussed all major family-related matters with the family elders or those with higher prestige.

Song Yuanfang is only in his thirties this year. Even if he is not a family elder, he has little reputation in the clan. Logically speaking, it is certainly not his turn to raise opinions with the clan leader on such a major event as erecting a monument outside the family meeting hall.

"Clan leader, Yuan Fang also fully supports your idea of ​​erecting a monument here. Ever since Patriarch Qingyu set up the "Stele of Caution" at the foot of the mountain, our Song family monks have indeed become much more restrained in their behavior outside in the past few years than before. few.

Not only that, after the family's cultivator atmosphere has improved, our Song family's reputation in the city is now better than before, because our family is not as arrogant as other foundation-building families, and many casual cultivators like to come to our Song family. Come to the store.

If the family can continue to maintain this good atmosphere, it will definitely benefit a lot in the future. Our Song family is here in Qinghe County."

After hearing Song Yuanli's analysis, Song Qingming nodded to him with satisfaction and said: "Since you think it is feasible, then I will leave this matter to you. Three days should be enough for you!"

"Thank you to the clan leader for trusting me. Yuan Fang will live up to the clan leader's trust."

Looking at Song Yuanfang's retreating figure, Song Qingming, who was standing there, couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Now that the family is developing steadily, there are more and more capable monks. Although Song Yuanfang's cultivation talent is not particularly outstanding, his mind is flexible enough. As long as he is given more time to practice, he might be able to become a pillar of the family in the future.

While Song Qingming was still thinking, a beautiful green figure quickly came to him. Looking at this familiar figure, Song Qingming immediately showed a smile on his face.

"Brother Qi, you've only been away for a few years, and you really left us behind."

"After you went out, you girl, didn't you think about us anymore? You sent a letter back after more than ten years, and now you have the nerve to talk about me."

Hearing Song Qingming's already prepared counterattack, Song Qingyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, leaned into Song Qingming's ear and whispered mysteriously: "Brother Qi, don't rush to tell me, I came back late this time, but there are some reasons. If you find out in the future, you have to reward me well."

"Why, from what you're saying, is it because of me that you came back late?"

"That's right! It's indeed your fault, but I don't want to tell you now. I want you to think about it yourself first!" After Song Qingyu said this, he suddenly blinked and left the place quickly, leaving only Song Qingming looked confused.

Although Song Qingyu has become more mature than before after establishing her foundation, her personal personality is still the same as when she was a child. Especially when facing Song Qingming, the seventh brother, alone, Song Qingyu is always easy to She turned into the little sister who followed Song Qingming back then, without any dignity of the foundation-building monk.

After standing there and thinking for a moment, Song Qingming shook his head and left, returned to the top of the mountain, and returned to the cave where he had been away for several years.

No one has come in for several years, and many places in the cave are covered with dust. After Song Qingming gently used the handrails and used several spells to clean it, he took out a yellow futon from the storage bag and sat on it. .

Then Song Qingming took out another white elixir, swallowed it in one gulp, and began to meditate and use the magic power in his body to refine the elixir.

An hour later, Song Qingming, who had completely refined the elixir in his body, spit out a mouthful of blood, slowly stood up and sat down at the wooden table beside him.

After two years of seclusion, Song Qingming tried to form elixirs to break through to the realm of golden elixirs. Although he reached the final step of condensing elixirs and caused visions in the world, in the end he failed to form elixirs to break through because of his poor personal qualifications.

This time, the pill formation not only consumed a lot of spiritual objects in Song Qingming's body, but the failure of the pill formation also caused Song Qingming's Dantian to be backfired by spiritual power. After being raised by Huofeng for more than half a year, Song Qingming managed to recover from his injuries. Most of it.

He was also a little afraid that something would happen to his clan if he had been away for a long time. Song Qingming hurried back to Funiu Mountain without waiting for his injuries to fully recover.

Recalling his process of forming pills this time, Song Qingming couldn't help but sigh slightly. Compared to Huang Shengxin back then, Song Qingming was much more prepared for forming pills this time. Both the spiritual objects and the spiritual place for forming pills were better than Huang Shengxin's back then. It was much better, but the result was still that I couldn't get through this level.

The only thing that was somewhat gratifying was that the vision of heaven and earth caused by Song Qingming lasted for nearly a day before dissipating. This result was much better than the vision of heaven and earth that Huang Shengxin had only lasted for a few hours.

Although failure to break through the core formation will not cause any life danger to the monks, the Dantian in the monk's body will be more or less injured. It will take at least a few years for the average monk to recover before he can use his magic power at will. The reason why Song Qingming can recover most of it in half a year , also because the treasure of the residual picture on his body helped restore his mana, which greatly shortened his healing time.

But now, although he can no longer see any injuries on the surface, if he fights with others, he can only use about 70% of his usual strength at most, and it will take several months to fully recover as before.

Compared with the injuries on his body that would recover sooner or later, Song Qingming was more worried about his unclear prospects for forming pills. There were not many spiritual beings in the world of immortality to assist in forming pills. He had a Jade Dust Pill, plus a fire phoenix for him. The Crimson Green Fruit and the Hidden Element Technique that he has practiced for many years are already the best conditions that can be achieved now.

Although this breakthrough failed, Song Qingming still has another chance to form a pill at his current age, but even if the conditions are met next time, Song Qingming is still a little unsure whether he can succeed.

Unlike when Song Qingming was building the foundation, although he failed after taking the first foundation building pill, he knew in his heart that he was just a little short. When he took the second foundation building pill, Song Qingming actually succeeded in building the foundation. The certainty is already great.

Since returning to Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming has been in seclusion for more than ten days and has never left the cave. This somewhat unusual behavior finally attracted Song Qingyu's attention, and soon she took the initiative to come to the door.

Facing Song Qingyu's inquiry, Song Qingming didn't intend to hide it from her, so he told her about his failure to form a pill and got injured.

However, Song Qingming did not intend to reveal his relationship with Huofeng to her. He just lied that he was retreating in the cave he rented in Guiyunfang. There were many foundation-building casual practitioners there, and occasionally there were people who retreated to form elixirs. It's not a strange thing.

"Brother Qi, you are so serious. You were injured and didn't say a word, which made me come to you to disturb your healing." After learning about Song Qingming's injury, Song Qingyu also regretted why he had not noticed these abnormalities before.

Song Qingming smiled and comforted: "I have recovered a lot from my injuries now and am no longer in trouble. You don't have to worry. In about half a year, I will almost be able to recover."

"Senior Huang failed to form the elixir back then, and it took him four or five years to recover. How could he recover so quickly? You're not trying to trick me, are you?"

"Hey! My formation of pills this time is different from that of Senior Huang. I failed before it could trigger the vision of heaven and earth. Naturally, the injury will be lighter. Otherwise, the news that someone in Guiyunfang is forming pills should have been released by now. It has spread to our Qinghe County.”

After hearing Song Qingming's explanation and seeing that he did not look seriously injured, Song Qingyu felt relieved and sighed slightly: "I asked you why you were out for so long suddenly, but the elder brother and the others didn't I know what you were doing. It turns out that Seventh Brother is really looking for a place to retreat and take elixirs.

But little sister, I really didn’t expect that even someone as powerful as Brother Qi could not trigger the visions of heaven and earth. Is this level of pill formation really so rare? "

Song Qingming nodded and said with a self-deprecating smile: "It took me a while to realize that this golden elixir avenue is really not that easy to pass. Think about how a cultivation genius like Huang Shengxin spent his whole life trying to count. This is the first time I have hit the Golden Core realm, but I still can only stand back. How much better can I be than him?

Without going too far, let’s just say that in the world of Immortal Cultivation in Weiguo, in the past few decades since Senior Chen formed the elixir, there should be at least dozens of monks who have cultivated to the stage of elixir formation. Which of these cultivators can reach the peak of foundation building? Even if they are not gifted, no one has been able to successfully form an elixir.

However, the journey of cultivating the Tao ultimately depends on personal opportunities. Just because others are not good at it does not mean that you are not good at it either. Qingyu’s current cultivation level has reached the sixth level of foundation building. As long as he can break through to the late stage of foundation building early, he will have success. You and I must not slack off in our practice because of the opportunity to obtain elixirs. "

"Well! Don't worry, Brother Qi. Although I haven't reached your level yet, I'm not a person who gives up easily. But I believe that Brother Qi, you will be able to successfully form the elixir before me. Regardless of the gold No matter how difficult the Dan Dao is, I will have confidence in you." After Song Qingyu finished speaking, he smiled brightly at Song Qingming, his eyes full of confidence.

Seeing the confidence in Song Qingyu's eyes, Song Qingming also nodded with some relief. "Qingyu, you did a good job managing the family during my absence, and it's a bit hard on you."

"Seventh brother, don't say that. Qing Yu is also a member of the Song family, and these are all things that are part of his job. How can I let you say "hard work".

However, after dealing with these trivial matters too much, I am indeed a little bored. I wonder if it is convenient for you, Brother Qi, to go out with me for a walk today, so you can reward me by the way! "Song Qingyu rolled his eyes and showed a proud smile.
