Chapter 540 Qingyu retreat, the demon king invades (Chapter 1)

After the Li family swallowed up the Iron Immortal Mountain, they quickly took all the territory of the original Lu family into their pockets, and the family strength was immediately strengthened. Although they could not catch up with the old foundation-building families such as the Huang family and the Gao family, they already had the foundation that a foundation-building family should have.

Moreover, the head of the Li family, Li Chengyue, had a very good talent for cultivation, and his path after building the foundation was also very smooth. In just a few decades, his cultivation had broken through to the fifth level of the foundation-building. His cultivation speed was not much worse than that of a second-level spiritual root cultivator like Song Yuanli. In the long run, the development prospects of the Li family were much better than those of the Lu family back then.

The Gao family in Lianhua Mountain was still the same, without much change. Gao Yubai was about the same age as Song Qingming, and his cultivation speed was also very fast. He was already impacting the ninth level of the foundation-building realm. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely be able to reach the stage of forming a pill, and there was still a little chance of forming a pill.

The Gao family also earned a lot of good deeds in this monster turmoil, but they did not choose to train another foundation-building cultivator, but instead concentrated all the family resources on Gao Yubai alone, and also wanted him to impact the golden elixir realm.

The Huang family in Taiyuan Mountain has also developed well in recent years. After the monster turmoil, they cultivated another foundation-building cultivator, and the family already has four foundation-building cultivators.

However, the life span of Huang Shengyue, the head of the Huang family, is not much, and she will die in at most 10 to 20 years. Her blood and qi have begun to decline, and her cultivation level will eventually stop at the seventh level of foundation building in this life.

Among the other three Huang family cultivators, Huang Sibo has low potential and has only reached the fifth level of foundation building. During the last monster turmoil, he was in the battle of Jinshanfang, and Huang Sibo was accidentally injured by the monster, which delayed a lot of time to recover. If nothing unexpected happens, his cultivation level will eventually be difficult to surpass the family predecessor Huang Shengyue.

Huang Mengde's cultivation talent is much better than Huang Sibo. Although he has been building his foundation for decades later, his cultivation level has reached the sixth level of foundation building, surpassing his elder Huang Sibo. As long as his cultivation goes smoothly, Huang Mengde will definitely be able to break through to the late stage of foundation building, but it is hard to say whether he can reach the step of impacting the core like Huang Shengxin did back then.

The last newly-established cultivator of the Huang family is named Huang Leling, a female cultivator. It is said that this woman is also a second-level spiritual root cultivator. She has just established her foundation not long ago, and it is still unclear what her cultivation talent is.

During the monster turmoil, the Huang family also lost more than 20 cultivators in a battle, suffering a considerable loss, but compared with other foundation-building families, their family foundation is much stronger, and they have basically recovered in just 20 to 30 years.

If there had not been the sudden rise of the Song family, the Huang family would definitely still be able to sit on the chair of the first immortal cultivation family in Qinghe County, but now with Song Qingming's Dan formation, the Huang family has become a vassal family under the Song family.

In just over a hundred years, the identities of the Huang family and the Song family have directly changed, which is something that all the immortal cultivation families in Qinghe County could not have imagined.

Fortunately, after the Song family came to power, they did not intend to suppress the Huang family in these years. The Huang family also has a relationship with Huang Siyuan in Funiu Mountain. In addition to being somewhat envious of the sudden rise of the Song family, they don’t have to worry too much about any major changes in their own family.

In addition to the four major foundation-building families of Huang, Gao, Li, and Wang, Qinghe County has attracted many foreign Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families and wandering cultivators because the Song family has been promoted to a Jindan family in recent years. The number of cultivators has more than doubled compared to decades ago.

Even Qinghefang is now overcrowded, with more and more wandering cultivators squeezing in, and even the caves that can be rented in the back mountain of the market are in short supply.

A few years ago, Feng De, who was in charge of Qinghefang, went to Tuoyun Mountain to consult Song Qingming and wanted to expand Qinghefang. After discussing this with the Song family and the Huang family, they all agreed to his request.

After several years of joint reconstruction by many families headed by the Song family, the expansion of Qinghefang is now nearing completion. Compared with the original market, the overall scale has doubled, and it is almost the same size as Jinshanfang in Pingyang County. It can accommodate at least thousands of cultivators and millions of mortals.

After the reconstruction of Qinghefang, everyone's share was redistributed. Xiaoyao Sect and the Song family each occupied 30% of the shares, and the remaining 40% was divided up by several other immortal cultivation families. The management rights of the market are still the same as before, managed by Xiaoyao Sect and everyone.

The Song family has always attached great importance to the expanded Qinghefang. Relying on more than a dozen shops in the market, the Song family can get at least thousands of spirit stones of profit from Qinghefang every year, which is also a considerable income for the family.

After solving the Wang family's affairs, Song Qingming stayed in Funiushan for another month, and finally received a letter from Song Qingyu that he was going to retreat to form a pill, so he left the family and rushed back to Tuoyun Mountain.

Since Song Qingyu got a "Jade True Water" to assist in forming a pill in Wu State, she has been polishing for more than a year. Whether it is her own cultivation or cultivation state, she has adjusted to the best state, and she can retreat to form a pill at any time.

After rushing to Tuoyun Mountain, Song Qingming gave Song Qingyu some careful instructions before giving up his cave to Song Qingyu to practice retreat and form the golden elixir.

Song Qingming's cave was the one left by Chen Jinliang. It was also the place with the most abundant spiritual energy on the spiritual vein of Tuoyun Mountain. It was enough for retreat and breaking through to the golden elixir realm.

Although the cave at the bottom of the pond where he retreated to form elixirs would be better for forming elixirs, Song Qingming's current cultivation level is only the second level of golden elixirs, and he is not very sure that he can survive in the floating clouds where monsters are rampant. The depths of the mountains shelter Song Qingyu's elixir formation.

If Song Qingyu attracts a powerful demon king on the way to form the pill, not only will the process of forming the pill fail, but the lives of the two of them may be in danger. For the sake of entrustment, Song Qingming gave up this idea in his heart.

After all, Song Qingyu is not yet old enough to be in a hurry. Even if the elixir formation does not succeed this time, she will have another chance to form an elixir. With the support of Song Qingming, the golden elixir brother, she will be able to find a partner for Song Qingyu in the future. It wouldn't be too difficult to form two elixir-forming spiritual objects.

"Qingyu, there are a few drops of thousand-year-old spiritual milk in this jade bottle. I got it from a senior many years ago. It will be useful for you when you condense the golden elixir. You can take it first.

Also, this talisman was given to me by Senior Brother Chu. It can be used to stabilize my mind when facing the inner demon in the last step. I didn't use it when I formed the elixir. Although you have broken through to the second level of the Soul-Eating Art, You are not afraid of ordinary inner demon interference, but you should bring this talisman just in case. "

Seeing the two spiritual objects handed over by Song Qingming, Song Qingyu waved his hand and said: "Brother Qi, Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk is a very rare and precious spiritual object. You should leave it to your sister-in-law to use when forming pills.

Although I already have Jasper True Water and Jade Dust Pills for this retreat, I am not very sure that I can successfully form the pills in one go. It is better not to waste such useful spiritual items. "

Song Qingming smiled and shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I still have some on me, and Siyuan will definitely have some pills. Although these spiritual objects are precious, as long as they can help you get out of the pill formation, it will cost me more." It’s okay to give it up, don’t worry about this, just make the elixir with peace of mind.”

Seeing what Song Qingming said, Song Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then took the two spiritual objects handed over by Song Qingming, turned around and walked into the retreat cave.

In the entire world of cultivating immortals, those who can successfully form elixirs in one go are basically talented cultivation geniuses. Among the dozen or so golden elixir cultivators in the Xiaoyao Sect, except for the two leaders, Yao Qianshu and Bai Yuxian, the others are the same as Song Qingming. It was only at least two times that the elixir was finally formed successfully.

This time Song Qingyu is in retreat, Song Qingming also knows that her chances of success are not high. However, as long as Song Qingming can go a little further the first time she forms an elixir, she can pave the way for the next time she forms an elixir. When forming the elixir, her probability of success will be greatly increased.

In addition to Song Qingyu, Huang Siyuan also started retreating to break through the ninth level of foundation building two months ago.

Last time in the Seven Star Pavilion of Wu State, in order to repay Song Qingming and Chu Fengping for their help, Liu Zongping gave each of them a second-level spiritual fruit unique to the Star Sect.

Although the level of this spirit fruit is not high, it can be of some help to the foundation-building monks in their cultivation. After Song Qingming obtained the spirit fruit, he gave it directly to Huang Siyuan.

Huang Siyuan's cultivation has already reached the peak of the eighth level of foundation building. Like Song Xinyu, she also tried several times to break through to the ninth level of foundation building but failed. This time she came back from Wu Kingdom and got the spirit spirit given to her by Song Qingming. After the result, Huang Siyuan quickly started thinking about a breakthrough in seclusion.

As long as she can break through to the ninth level of foundation building as soon as possible and polish her magic power for a period of time, Huang Siyuan can start trying to form pills.

Whether it is Song Qingyu or Huang Siyuan, although both of them can successfully build the foundation in one go, forming the elixir is not an easy task for them. If they want to embark on the golden elixir road like Song Qingming, they must Be prepared to form elixirs at any time as soon as possible.

Even if you can't successfully form a pill once, as long as you can practice to the ninth level of foundation building as soon as possible and get a few more opportunities to form a pill for yourself, you will always have more chances to form a pill than others.

After Song Qingyu sealed the cave and activated the formation restriction at the door, Song Qingming felt relieved and went to a slightly smaller cave nearby and started his own retreat practice.

It has been ten years since Song Qingming took charge of Tuoyun Mountain. Although under his leadership, the monsters around Tuoyun Mountain have been almost eliminated, Tuoyun Mountain is located on the edge of Fuyun Mountain, and some monsters still come to harass them from time to time.

No matter whether it is successful or not, it will take at least a few years for monks to retreat to form elixirs. In order to prevent any unexpected situations from happening during Song Qingyu's retreat, Song Qingming still planned to sit in Tuoyun Mountain to protect her during her retreat.

After sitting cross-legged in the cave, Song Qingming took out a square wooden box from the jade pendant around his waist, and carefully took the "Golden Marrow Spirit Fruit" he had obtained not long ago into his hands.

Before going to the Shanggong Pavilion of Xiaoyao Sect to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill, Song Qingming went to see Chu Fengping to ask him if the "Golden Marrow Spirit Fruit" in his hand could be used to make pills. Unfortunately, the result was unexpected. Feng Ping just started refining alchemy in seclusion a few days ago, and he doesn’t know when he will come out.

Song Qingming, who was rejected, asked another alchemist disciple of Chu Fengping. Although this person had not yet broken through the third level of alchemy, he had followed Chu Fengping for many years and learned his true teachings. Fang also already knew everything.

According to what he said, there is indeed a third-level elixir recipe in Xiaoyao Sect. The "Golden Marrow Spirit Fruit" in Song Qingming's hand can be used as the main medicine to refine a third-level elixir that can improve the cultivation level of golden elixir monks. The effective value of the spiritual fruit in Song Qingming's hand.

However, in this elixir recipe, the auxiliary elixir also requires a third-grade low-grade elixir, which is currently not available in the sect's alchemy pavilion. It will have to wait at least a few years before the Xiaoyao Sect elixir garden can provide it.

Taking the "Golden Marrow Spirit Fruit" to refine the elixir, as long as Chu Fengping didn't miss it, he could indeed earn thousands more spirit stones. However, when he heard that it would still take so long, Song Qingming didn't want to wait anymore.

Anyway, according to Chu Fengping's disciples, the effect of making elixirs from the "Golden Marrow Spirit Fruit" is not very different from that of taking it directly. What he urgently needs now is to improve his cultivation. There is really no need to worry about this anymore. Uncertain thousands of spiritual stones to toss.

After running the "Five Elements Xuan Gang Jue" of the exercises he had cultivated in his body, Song Qingming took out a second-level Pure Heart Talisman, put it on his arm, and began to adjust his magic power calmly.

After his cultivation state had been adjusted to a very good state, Song Qingming opened his eyes and glanced at the "Golden Marrow Spirit Fruit" in his hand, and then swallowed it without hesitation.

After the spiritual fruit entered his belly, Song Qingming soon felt a steady stream of pure spiritual energy, which began to enter his eight meridians, limbs and bones, and finally gathered in his Dantian.

If a monk encounters such a huge spiritual energy for the first time, it will easily make people panic. However, Song Qingming is obviously very familiar with it. He immediately closed his eyes to stabilize his mind and began to control the magic power in his Dantian. Quickly refine this huge spiritual energy that is constantly gathering.

Before he formed the elixir, Song Qingming had taken and refined many spiritual objects containing huge spiritual power. Compared with the "Red Green Fruit" given to him by Huofeng when he was still in the foundation building stage, this "Golden Marrow Spirit" "Fruit" is no longer considered a difficult spiritual object to refine for Song Qingming now.

Less than half a year into seclusion, Song Qingming had successfully completely refined the "Golden Marrow Spirit Fruit" in his body, and his own cultivation level had also greatly improved, reaching the peak of the second level of the Golden Core.

Although he failed to directly break through the cultivation level with the help of this "Golden Marrow Spirit Fruit", Song Qingming is not far from the third level of Golden Core now. He only needs to work hard and polish it for a few years, and he should be almost able to advance to it. The golden elixir is at the third level.

It is relatively easy to break through the first three levels of the Golden Core Stage. Even people with average cultivation talents can basically break through the first level of cultivation after advancing to the Golden Core Stage as long as they practice patiently for twenty or thirty years.

However, starting from the third level of Jindan, the difficulty immediately begins to increase rapidly. Once one's cultivation talent is relatively average and there are not many spiritual objects to assist cultivation, it is possible to stay in this realm for a long time, and even some People with bad luck may have difficulty breaking through in cultivation and advancing to the middle stage of Jindan in their lifetime.

Among the many golden elixir monks in the Xiaoyao Sect, Jin Ziyuan, Lu Boyang, and Guangling Zhenren, who were slower in cultivation, all stayed at the third level of the golden elixir for nearly a hundred years before successfully breaking through to the middle stage of the golden elixir. People like them With the speed of cultivation, it is basically impossible to have the opportunity to cultivate to the late stage of Jindan in this life.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, Li Wutong and Zhao Menglian, who are faster at breaking through the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, still have hope of advancing to the late stage of the Golden Elixir before they die.

Compared with these veteran golden elixir monks in the sect, Chen Xuanxin, who formed the elixir later, is obviously faster in cultivation. At present, his path is also the one with the greatest potential among the many golden elixir elders except Bai Yuxian. In the future There is great hope that he can cultivate to the ninth level of the Golden elixir and be on par with the two highest-level Golden elixir monks in the sect.

As long as there is support from the sect, Chen Xuanxin may have some chance of condensing the Nascent Soul in the future.

Although Song Qingming's current cultivation speed is not particularly fast, he can barely keep up with Chen Xuanxin's pace back then. As for whether he can have as much potential as Chen Xuanxin, it still depends on when Song Qingming can break through to the fourth level of the golden elixir in the future.

After refining the "Golden Marrow Spirit Fruit", Song Qingming, who had been in seclusion for several months, took the initiative to open the formation restrictions in the cave, walked out, and went directly to the outside of the cave where Song Qingyu was retreating.

The caves of Song Qingming, Song Qingyu, and Huang Siyuan are not far from each other on the top of Tuoyun Mountain. The Song family and Tuoyun Mountain monks are usually on duty here day and night. Ordinary people cannot go to the top of the mountain to disturb them without permission.

Seeing that no one had touched the restrictions outside Song Qingyu's cave, Song Qingming was slightly relieved and went to the outside of Huang Siyuan's cave next to him and sent a transmission note inside.

After a while, the restrictions at the door of the cave suddenly disappeared, and Huang Siyuan, dressed in white, walked out of the cave with a smile.

"Hey! You actually succeeded in breaking through. This is really a gratifying thing." Seeing that the aura of Huang Siyuan in front of him had advanced to the ninth level of foundation building, Song Qingming suddenly showed a smile on his face.

Huang Siyuan replied with a smile: "I have been trying for so long but failed to achieve a breakthrough. I never expected that the spiritual fruit you gave me would help me find my good luck all of a sudden. It seems that I still benefited from my husband! "

Song Qingming waved his hand and said: "You can't say that this is because of me. It's just the result of your hard work. Your cultivation has been polished for a long time. You haven't been able to make a breakthrough. It's just because your character is still poor. A little bit, a little pushy.

It seems that I took you out for a walk last time, and it seems to have done you a lot of good. Your cultivation has been well established. Even without the spiritual fruit I gave you, you will definitely be able to make a breakthrough after a while. "

Huang Siyuan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then slowly said: "Well! But husband, after all you say, it seems that it is still your contribution.

In that case, please come in! How about I make a pot of good tea for you, my great benefactor? "

"Haha! That would be disrespectful to my husband." Song Qingming showed a smile and walked into the cave together with Huang Siyuan.

The two of them had not seen each other for a long time since Huang Siyuan started to retreat half a year ago. Huang Siyuan was making spiritual tea while listening to Song Qingming talk about some things that happened in Funiu Mountain a few months ago, and she laughed a few times from time to time. .

Just as the two were talking and losing track of time, Song Qingming suddenly felt a strange fluctuation in the spiritual energy around him. His face changed slightly and he slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

At the same time, Huang Siyuan, who was sitting aside, had also felt the abnormal fluctuations of spiritual energy. She immediately stood up and said: "It seems that there is another evil beast with no eyes attacking the mountain protection formation. How about I go and take a look first?" !”

"It doesn't matter! Even if a few second-level monsters come, Lin Yutang and the others can handle it now. It's rare that you are so happy today, so you don't have to worry about such small things." Seeing that Huang Siyuan wanted to go out and have a look, Song Qingming hurriedly stretched out his hand Stopped her.

After all, Tuoyun Mountain is located on the edge of the Fuyun Mountain Range and is too close to the territory of the monster beasts. Occasionally one or two second-level monster beasts break into this place, which is no longer a big deal. Even when Chen Jinliang was still there, The powerful Tuo Yunshan cannot avoid this situation.

Seeing that Song Qingming was unwilling to leave by herself, Huang Siyuan did not insist and sat down with a smile.

But before the two of them could take a few sips of the spiritual tea, a red transmission note suddenly flew directly into the cave and landed in Song Qingming's hands.

"What's going on with people like Lin Yutang? With so many people under their command, even a few monsters can't handle it?" Seeing the transmission talisman in front of him, Song Qingming frowned slightly and put down the teacup in his hand again.

Seeing the transmission note in Song Qingming's hand, Huang Siyuan said with a cautious face: "Lin Yutang has always been prudent in doing things over the years. Seeing that he is so anxious to send the transmission note, I am afraid that there will be trouble that they cannot solve. Husband, it is better first Open it and take a look!”

"Haha! He has so many people under him, but there are still troubles he can't solve. Could it be that a third-level demon king has arrived!" Song Qingming opened the sound transmission in his hand with a smile, and his face slowly turned gloomy after a while. Come down.

"A demon king really has come. It seems that he won't be able to drink today." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he stood up immediately.

Huang Siyuan looked worried when she heard this and asked: "Is it Demon King Yunhe? My husband has already dealt with him once last time, so why do you dare to invade our territory!"

"It doesn't seem to be the case this time! Even Lin Yutang and the others can't recognize them. They probably came from the depths of the Fuyun Mountains. I'll go out and take a look first. You stay here to protect Qingyu. Don't disturb her unless it's absolutely necessary. "Retreat."

Song Qingming shook his head, and after exchanging words with Huang Siyuan, there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and he turned around and walked out of the cave.
