Chapter 500 Heading to Wu State
Song Yuanxue's cultivation talent is average. Although her family fully supports her, her chances of succeeding in foundation building are still worse than those of the previous Song family's foundation building monks. Song Qingyu and others have always been concerned about Song Yuanxue's retreat to the foundation building realm. Very worried.
Seeing that Song Qingming's tone showed great confidence in Song Yuanxue's success in building the foundation, Song Qingyu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Song Qingming went into retreat, Song Qingyu spent a lot of energy to personally guide Song Yuanxue for more than a year, and he has already regarded her as half of his disciples. Song Qingyu should be the most hopeful among the Song family for Song Yuanxue's retreat to build the foundation. She can succeed.
Two months later, in the Song family meeting hall.
Looking at Song Yuanxue, whose whole body had taken on a new look, the faces of several foundation-building elders of the Song family were all filled with joy.
This time of retreat for nearly four months, Song Yuanxue successfully broke through to the foundation-building stage. Except for Song Qingming, she was the one who spent the longest time building the foundation among the several foundation-building elders of the Song family. It really worried everyone for a long time at first.
After experiencing the hardships of foundation building, Song Yuanxue was secretly lucky. She almost failed at the first level of foundation building during this retreat. Even with the protection of foundation building pill, she continued to exercise and cleanse her marrow for dozens of days. The pain still made Song Yuanxue almost give up on foundation building.
Song Yuanxue is different from the other foundation-building elders of the Song family. Since she entered Taoism and practiced Taoism, she has always stayed in the clan to study spiritual planting skills. She has rarely participated in hunting monsters, and has very little experience in fighting with others. She has no experience. Pass the test of a little life and death crisis.
Such an insipid practice experience made Song Yuanxue panic when she faced the stage of foundation building, marrow cleansing and body training. Fortunately, Song Qingyu provided guidance more than a year in advance, allowing Song Yuanxue to grit her teeth and stabilize herself after adapting to the pain. With great concentration, he finally passed this level in a thrilling manner.
The exercises that Song Yuanxue practices are the same as those of Song Qingyu. They are also water-based exercises. When building the foundation, more water-based spiritual energy is absorbed into the body. It will be slightly helpful when repairing the meridians and blood vessels of the physical body after exercising, although it takes a little longer. , but as long as you survive the first period of time, tempering the physical body in the later stages will be relatively smooth.
Seeing Song Yuanxue, the newest member of the Song family, the two elders Song Qingming and Song Qingyu were also very happy. They each gave her a second-level piece. In addition, Song Qingyu also specially painted a A second-level middle-grade spiritual talisman came out and was given to Song Yuanxue for self-defense.
The immortal cultivation skills of several foundation-building monks of the Song family have also made considerable progress over the years. Song Qingming, who has entered the golden elixir stage, has steadily improved his formation and talisman making skills to the second-level high-grade.
Song Qingyu, who specializes in the art of making talismans, has taken advantage of the fact that the family's Golden Pavilion has a lot of materials for second-level monsters that can be used to make talismans in recent years. He has also successfully drawn several second-level middle-grade talismans, becoming A second-level talisman maker.
Song Yuanfang was originally an weapon refiner. After he recovered from his injury, with the help of Song Xinde, he successfully broke through to the second level of this skill and became the second second level weapon refiner of the Song family.
In addition to a few of them, Song Yuanli, who also majored in making talismans, has been focusing on the speed of his cultivation in recent years and has neglected the improvement of his immortality skills. He has not yet broken through to the second level of his immortality skills.
Huang Siyuan has upgraded her spiritual cooking skills to the second level. However, this skill has a relatively limited role in Qinghe County and even the entire Wei Kingdom. Therefore, in recent years, Huang Siyuan has gradually given up on improving her spiritual cooking skills and switched to another major. The art of alchemy.
Although the two immortal skills of spiritual cooking and alchemy are very different, they still have many similarities. They are both more suitable for monks who practice fire-attribute skills. They require the ability of monks to control the temperature of fire when refining spiritual objects. Very high. Huang Siyuan happens to have both of these requirements.
After switching to the way of alchemy, because Huang Siyuan was already a foundation-building monk, she learned the way of alchemy much faster than ordinary Qi-refining monks. With sufficient resources, it only took a few years to become a She is a first-level high-level alchemist, and she is also currently the most promising monk in the Song family to advance to the second-level alchemy level.
In addition to Song Yuanxue who has just established the foundation, the Song family now has four important immortal cultivation skills such as formations, talismans, weapon refining, and spiritual planting, all of which have been passed down to the second level or above. They can only wait for Huang Siyuan to break through and become a second level alchemist in the future. , the Song family's foundation in these aspects can catch up with those old immortal cultivating families in the Wei Kingdom.
Because Funiu Mountain's spiritual veins only have the second-grade top grade, just supporting several foundation-building monks such as Song Qingming and Song Qingyu was already a little lacking in spiritual energy. After Song Yuanxue succeeded in foundation-building, he simply stayed in Jingyuan Mountain to practice.
The Song family now has two second-level spiritual veins. In order not to share the spiritual energy cultivated by several ancestors of the family, in recent years, under the arrangements of Song Qingyu and others, many lower-level Qi-refining monks have also moved to Jingjing. Wonsan.
There was a new foundation-building monk in the family, and the Song family naturally wanted to celebrate. Just when everyone was preparing to hold a foundation-building celebration for Song Yuanxue, Song Qingming suddenly received a message from the Xiaoyao Sect. After receiving the letter, he hurried to Guyang Mountain alone within a few days.
This time, it was Yao Qianshu, the head of Xiaoyao Sect, who sent an urgent message from Guyang Mountain to Funiu Mountain to invite Song Qingming.
Yao Qianshu's letter mentioned that the Wu Kingdom, located in the southeast of the Wei Kingdom, would hold a large-scale trade fair next month. The Xiaoyao Sect had just received the invitation not long ago, and Yao Qianshu planned to take several Jindan elders from the sect to Wu. The country wanted to participate in this trade fair, so they specially sent a letter to invite Song Qingming.
Song Qingming has never left Weiguo in these years since he advanced to the golden elixir stage. The only place where he has the opportunity to exchange for spiritual objects that are useful to him is the Shanggong Pavilion of Xiaoyao Sect. He has long had the idea to visit other places. After receiving the message from Yao Qianshu, Song Qingming immediately rushed to Xiaoyao Sect after some preparations.
By the time Song Qingming arrived at Yao Qianshu's place, several Jindan elders from the sect had already arrived.
In addition to Yao Qianshu and several of his foundation-building disciples, the Jindan elders who went to Wu State on this trip included Li Wutong, Chu Fengping and Chen Xuanxin, as well as Bai Yuxian who arrived here last.
After a group of ten people boarded the third-level high-grade flying boat that Yao Qianshu took out, the blue flying boat quickly turned into a spiritual light and left Guyang Mountain.
There are more than thirty countries around the Fuyun Mountains. Among them, there are only eight big countries with Yuanying Sect. Weiguo Xiaoyao Sect is one of them. Now the Wu State that Song Qingming and the others are going to also has a Yuanying Sect. big country.
The Kingdom of Wu is located in the southeast of the Kingdom of Wei. It is a larger country among the dozens of countries around the Fuyun Mountains. The leader of the immortal world here is the Star Sect of the Nascent Soul Sect. The overall strength of the Star Sect is three points stronger than that of the Xiaoyao Sect. There are currently two Nascent Soul cultivators among them, and they are currently the strongest sect among the many sects surrounding the Wei Kingdom.
It is a long way from Guyang Mountain to Qixingfang where the Xingchen Gate holds the trade fair. In the middle, they have to pass through Taiyue Lake, which spans tens of thousands of miles. Even if they take Yao Qianshu's third-level high-grade flying boat, Song Qingming and others still need to It took about a month to arrive.
Along the way, in addition to Yao Qianshu, who has not fully recovered from his injuries, Song Qingming and several Jindan monks also need to take turns using their magic power to control the flying boat and control the direction of progress.
Because we have to pass through Taiyue Lake where monsters are entrenched, in addition to controlling the flying boat, everyone must always be careful about the attacks of monsters below. There are many high-level monsters in Taiyue Lake, and there are two powerful monster kings deep in the lake. This is also a big scourge for neighboring countries.
Fortunately, the monsters in Taiyue Lake are all water-type monsters, and they prefer to stay in the lake. Unlike the monsters in other places, which often invade human territory for no reason, they can only be found when the monsters in Northern Xinjiang are in trouble. Only in Taiyue Lake will monsters come out to harass surrounding countries.
These monsters usually stay in Taiyue Lake and are not that scary. However, if a monk dares to accidentally enter their territory, these monsters will not sit down and reason with you.
Fortunately, many Jindan monks came to Xiaoyao Sect this time. As long as they don't encounter those powerful demon kings, and ordinary demon kings dare to come out to block the way, Song Qingming and others on the flying boat still don't need to take it seriously.
After half a month, everyone successfully passed through Taiyue Lake after sending away more than a dozen waves of monsters that came to harass them. They did not encounter those difficult monster kings, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. .
The six golden elixir monks who came out of Xiaoyao Sect this time, except for Yao Qianshu, the leader, are still unable to take action at will for the time being due to his injuries.
The other five people are slightly weaker than Song Qingming, who has just formed the elixir. The others are all masters of the middle stage of the elixir or above. Because of this, they have enough confidence to cross Taiyue Lake. Otherwise, everyone would have to use a detour. I spent the first half of the month on the road.
After traveling by airship for nearly a month, Song Qingming and others finally entered the territory of Wu State. Looking at the Wu State with many rivers below and a denser population than Wei State, Song Qingming also had a look of surprise on his face.
Although the sphere of influence controlled by Wu's Immortal Cultivation World is not much different from that of Wei's Immortal Cultivation World, this country has many spiritual veins and very fertile land resources, which can support more monks and mortals. Therefore, the overall number of Wu's monks is also the same. It's also much more than the Weiguo side.
It is precisely because of controlling the resource-rich Immortal World of Wu that Xingchen Sect can rely on these resources to cultivate more monks, making Xingchen Sect the most powerful sect in the surrounding area.
After traveling through the territory of the Wu Kingdom for another three days, the flying boat, under the control of Chen Xuanxin, finally landed in Qixingfang, a large city in the middle of the Wu Kingdom.
