Chapter 602: Opportunity in the cave, He Mengxin invites you (Chapter 1)
The two people who came to Tuoyun Mountain to find Song Qingming were sisters He Mengxin and Xia Mo who had been traveling for a long time after leaving Funiu Mountain.
When He Mengxin, who was standing in the front, saw Song Qingming, she hurriedly stepped forward and returned the greeting with her hands in hand: "We haven't seen you for a few years. Fellow Daoist Song's cultivation has become more and more advanced. I think he will break through to the middle stage of the golden elixir in the near future."
"Haha! How can it be so easy to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core? I have practiced Taoism for many years, and I have already realized that it is not easy. Fellow Taoist, please don't praise me like this.
It's hard work for the two fairies to come all the way. Please come with me to sit on the mountain first! "After Song Qingming finished speaking, he smiled and extended his hand to invite her, and then took the two girls up Tuoyun Mountain together.
Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan were still in retreat, so Song Qingming entertained He Mengxin and He Mengxin alone in his cave.
The three of them drank tea and chatted. After a few polite words, He Mengxin suddenly said to Song Qingming:
"Fellow Daoist Song, Senior Sister Xia and I came to see you this time because we actually want to ask you to help us with something. Please don't refuse, Friend Daoist."
"Oh! You two fellow Taoists are so advanced in cultivation. I don't know if there is anything else I can help with. You might as well speak directly."
Song Qingming was a little surprised when he met He Mengxin and He Mengxin at the foot of Tuoyun Mountain. Logically speaking, He Mengxin and He Mengxin should have stayed in Qinghe County to wait for Song Qingming's return after they returned from their trip and wanted to discuss something with Song Qingming.
But this time, the two of them took the initiative to find Tuo Yun Mountain, which was a little unusual, which naturally aroused Song Qingming's doubts.
Seeing Song Qingming say this, he looked at himself with a hint of doubt.
After He Mengxin exchanged glances with Xia Mo, who was sitting next to her, he quickly explained the purpose of their trip to Song Qingming in detail.
Six years ago, after He Mengxin and Xia Mo left Funiu Mountain, they first went to Shangyang State, Lu State and other places in the south, and then went east through Wu State, Qin State and other places.
The two of them traveled along the way, experiencing the scenery and people in various places, and soon entered the territory of Yue Kingdom in the north.
While staying in a market in northwest Vietnam for a few days, Xia Mo, who was resting and sipping tea in an inn, accidentally heard a piece of news that made them a little curious from a foundation-building cultivator.
This foundation-building casual cultivator is a local alchemist in the Yue Kingdom. He often goes deep into the Yunwu Mountains in the north alone to find some rare spiritual herbs and elixirs in the market and come back to make alchemy.
A month ago, when this person was passing by a place deep in the Fuyun Mountains in the northwest of the country, he saw a group of colorful glow suddenly appear in the mid-air in the distance, as if some treasure was about to be born.
Although this ray of light passed away in a flash and did not last long, it actually appeared in front of the casual cultivator and the foundation-building monk, making him immediately overjoyed and thought that his opportunity had arrived.
It's a pity that this person searched the location where the glow appeared for more than ten days, but found nothing. He couldn't find any useful opportunities, so he could only return to the market with a disappointed look on his face, hoping to find three or five friends to go with him again. Go find it.
However, in the world of cultivating immortals, the news about the birth of this kind of rare treasure, or the secret realm, or the birth of the cave of the predecessors are all kinds of rumors. Even if there is a colorful glow, it is possible that the person has seen it wrong, or some people can control it. The work of illusory monsters.
Faced with the old man's enthusiastic invitation, the two Foundation-Building monks who were traveling with him were not very interested.
After all, this person has been searching there for more than half a month without any results. This kind of news is indeed a bit vague. If he rushes to hunt for treasure with him, it will most likely be in vain.
After all, those of them who have already established the foundation and attained Taoism are not low-level Qi-refining monks with no hope of success. They have time to waste casually and do not have much confidence in the chance news that exists. Basically, it is difficult to impress them.
Xia Mo and He Mengxin traveled together and were very interested in these unexplored secret realms or caves in the world of immortality.
It happened that the two of them also wanted to visit the Fuyun Mountains in the north, so they spent two hundred spirit stones to buy the news from the foundation-building casual cultivator. They planned to stop by when passing by to see if there was really a chance.
After this foundation-building casual cultivator came back, he invited several Taoist friends, but no one agreed to go with him again, and he felt a little disappointed. Just when he was about to let go of the matter, he was very surprised when he heard the news that someone wanted to buy him.
For a foundation-building monk like him, although two hundred spirit stones are not particularly many, they are enough to exchange for an ordinary second-level elixir, which is definitely more useful than this illusory opportunity in his own body.
Although this San Xiu Foundation did indeed see the appearance of heaven and earth phenomena such as colorful rays of light, he had searched for so long and found nothing, and could not find any companions willing to help. He himself had no confidence in this matter.
Faced with the spiritual stone that was presented to him for free in the hands of He Mengxin, he naturally had no reason to refuse and quickly agreed happily.
Later, this person not only drew a detailed map of the place where the glow appeared and gave it to He Mengxin, but he also swore an oath in front of the two of them that he would never go there again to hunt for treasure, nor would he and then reveal this news to others
Within a few days, He Mengxin and Xia Mo entered the depths of the Fuyun Mountains with the map they drew. Soon they found a relatively ordinary-looking place surrounded by mountains based on the map.
After walking around for several times, when passing by one of the high mountains, Xia Mo, who was highly cultivated, suddenly discovered that there was a faint wave of spiritual energy unique to the formation coming from this mountain.
Feeling that something was not right, the two people immediately approached and searched carefully, and soon found a relatively advanced hidden formation on the wall on the side of the mountain.
The two spent some time and effort to cast spells to break through the hiding circle outside, and after forcing their way into the mountain wall, they quickly found a cave behind that had been hidden.
Unfortunately, not long after the two entered, they encountered a more powerful third-level high-grade formation at the entrance of the cave, blocking their way.
Outside the cave, after trying to forcefully break the formation, not only was it unsuccessful, He Mengxin, who had a low level of cultivation, was accidentally injured and was almost injured by the backlash of the formation.
Fortunately, there was Xia Mo who had a relatively advanced cultivation level and protected her in time, so that He Mengxin was not hurt.
Knowing that this formation was so powerful, He Mengxin and Xia Mo were at a loss what to do for a while, and then they were forced to go out to find helpers, hoping to explore the cave again.
After hearing He Mengxin briefly describe the powerful high-level formation they encountered, Song Qingming also showed a somewhat unexpected solemn look on his face.
"Fellow Daoist He, if according to what you said, there is a third-level high-level formation guarding that place, then could the owner of this cave be also a high-level formation mage?"
"It's hard to say this. As a formation master, Daoist Song, you must also know that even if the formation monk's formation level is not that high, he can still ask other formation masters to refine the formation. Reluctantly setting up a higher level formation.
However, in order to achieve this, the master of this cave must have a high level of cultivation. At least he should be a late-stage Jindan monk, and he might be a senior Nascent Soul, but that's not necessarily true.
The two of us came here this time just to ask fellow Taoist Song to help us. As long as we can break the formation at the entrance of the cave, after entering the cave, the spiritual objects obtained can naturally be shared with fellow Taoist. "
After saying this, He Mengxin turned her eyes slightly towards Song Qingming, as if she wanted to find the look she wanted to see on the other person's face.
However, when Song Qingming heard that there might be a Nascent Soul Cave, although there was a flash of excitement in his eyes, he quickly calmed down and smiled enviously at the two of them:
"I didn't expect that when the two fairies went out to travel, they would get such an opportunity to find the cave of a senior Nascent Soul. They were really envious.
However, what the two of you don't know is that the relationship between our Xiaoyao Sect and the Jiuyuan Sect of the Yue Kingdom has always been bad. A few years ago, there was a big battle over the Iron Immortal Castle, and the two sides are now on the same page.
I am an elder of the Xiaoyao Sect, and the Jiuyuan Sect naturally wants the head on my neck. I really don’t dare to go deep into the territory of the Yue Kingdom at this time. I am afraid that I will waste the kindness of the two fairies and let you down. "
Although a cave of late Jindan or even senior Nascent Soul is indeed very attractive, that place is located near the Yue Kingdom, and it is indeed a bit dangerous for Song Qingming to go there rashly.
Song Qingming also participated in the whole battle of Iron Immortal Castle back then. If a high-level monk who was unlucky enough to bump into the Jiuyuan Sect was recognized when he got there, it would not be good for him.
After coming out of the "Tongtian Tower", Song Qingming got many precious spiritual objects. Although he is not very rich now, he has not yet run out of cultivation resources. There is really no need to take this risk with He Mengxin and the others.
And now, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan have reached the point of forming the elixir. Song Qingming still needs to find a way to seize the time to prepare the elixir-forming spiritual objects for them, and protect them in seclusion to reach the golden elixir realm.
At this time, Song Qingming really didn't have much interest in him, so he and He Mengxin went out to hunt for treasures.
Hearing that Song Qingming rejected them so decisively, He Mengxin and Xia Mo both had a look of surprise in their eyes.
The two of their sects are far away in the world of immortal cultivation in the East China Sea, and they are both foreign Golden Core monks. Naturally, they are not aware of the battle of Iron Immortal Castle decades ago, as well as the grievances between Xiaoyao Sect and Jiuyuan Sect.
Seeing that Song Qingming was still worried, He Mengxin was a little surprised. After sighing slightly, she thought for a moment and continued to speak: "Don't be surprised, fellow Daoist Song, the two of us have just arrived here not long ago, and we really don't know about this yet." , a little abrupt.
However, the location of the cave is about five or six thousand miles away from the territory controlled by the Yue Kingdom. As long as we are careful and go around the north of the Fuyun Mountains, we should not alert them. Fellow Daoist Song does not need to be too careful about this. Too worried.
What we are seeking to practice Taoism is also a heaven-defying opportunity. If we can achieve Taoism and live forever by sitting in the mountains and practicing hard, we will not go out and travel around in search of opportunities.
My fellow Taoist can cultivate so fast after forming the elixir, so he must have some luck outside. This Nascent Soul monk's cave is right in front of us. If we miss it because of this, we will definitely regret it in the future. We might as well consider it again. how. "
"Haha! I accept Fellow Daoist He's kindness, but now Qingyu is about to prepare pills. I still need to help her prepare a few things and stay on the mountain to protect her. I really don't want to go out and look for opportunities at this time.
Fellow Daoist He just happened to come to the door at this time. It seems that this is not the opportunity I deserve. I am indeed a little sorry.
Why don't you two go look for other fellow Taoists? After all, this is a great opportunity for us Jindan monks. I think there will definitely be many people willing to go. "
Hearing what Song Qingming said, He Mengxin shook his head and said:
"Fellow Daoist Song also knows that the reason why we came to you is not only because we are familiar with you, but also because Daoist Friend Song is a third-level low-grade formation mage and is proficient in formations. This is also something we need very much.
Fellow Taoist, don't be too hasty to reject us. If you have any ideas, you can tell us. Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Song, Senior Sister Xia and I are not unreasonable. As long as the request put forward by fellow Taoist is not too excessive, we can discuss it. . "
"Fellow Daoist He has misunderstood. It is very respectable for you to come to Tuoyun Mountain to share this opportunity with me. It's not that the two Taoist friends are not sincere enough. It's just that I have many things to worry about at this moment, and I really have no intention of going out." adventure."
Facing He Mengxin's kind words, Song Qingming remained unmoved. He shook his head at the two of them with a smile, and then concentrated on refilling the tea for the two guests.
"this!"
"Fellow Daoist Song, I wonder if the pill-forming spiritual object in your hand is fully prepared?"
Just when He Mengxin was still unwilling to give up and wanted to continue persuading, Xia Mo, who had never spoken a word from the beginning to the end, suddenly said a soft sentence, which instantly attracted the attention of Song Qingming's face.
After turning his eyes and taking a responsible look at Xia Mo sitting opposite, Song Qingming asked softly with a calm face: "I don't know what Fairy Xia Mo means by this. Is it possible that you still have information about the pill-forming spiritual object in your hand?"
Xia Mo, who was dressed in white, did not directly answer Song Qingming's question. He raised his jade hand and waved it gently, and a blue jade box suddenly appeared on the stone table.
"Sister Xia, this..."
He Mengxin, who was standing aside, saw the blue jade box that Xia Mo had taken out, and she suddenly let out a sound of surprise. When she wanted to say something, she was stopped by Xia Mo's clear eyes when she turned around. She could only feel a little helpless. Sighed.
"If I read it correctly, your sister should practice water-based techniques, and this jade true water is very suitable for her use in forming elixirs.
If Fellow Daoist Song is willing to help out, this item will be used as a reward for Fellow Daoist in advance. No matter whether you can gain something after entering the cave, you will not let your trip be in vain. How about this! "
Hearing Xia Mo mention "Jade True Water", Song Qingming's eyes immediately stared at the blue jade box in front of her, and a hint of unnatural excitement flashed in his heart.
"I didn't expect that Fairy Xia would still have such a spiritual object in her hand, which really puts me in a bit of trouble.
This item is really hard for me to refuse, but I still need to say hello to Qingyu and the others. You two fairies might as well take a rest on the mountain and wait for me to reply to you in half a day! "
Seeing that Song Qingming did not refuse, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Xia Mo's eyes. He put away the blue jade box with the magic in his hand, nodded slightly to Song Qingming and said: "That's fine! Let's go to Xiafang Market first. Stay tuned and wait for the good news from fellow Taoist."
After Xia Mo finished speaking, he stood up, cupped his hands with Song Qingming, and then walked out of his cave with He Mengxin.
Not long after the two of them walked out of the cave, He Mengxin, who was walking behind, looked around and saw that there was no one around. She quickly stepped forward and asked Xia Mo, "Senior Sister Xia, you just took out the Jasper True Water so rashly. Isn't it a bit strange?" Too anxious.
The reason why Song Qingming refused at first was probably because he wanted to bargain with us and get more benefits when the time comes to share the spiritual objects. I don’t believe that he would really not be moved by the opportunity of a Nascent Soul Cave being presented to him. . "
Xia Mo, who still had a white veil on her face, shook her head slightly and replied to He Mengxin:
"You made the wrong decision this time. Song Qingming was indeed a little tempted at first, but this person has a clear mind and is relatively stable in his actions. He is not someone who is easily blinded by the interests in front of him.
If we want to impress him, we still need to show some sincerity, otherwise just saying so will not have much effect on him. "
When He Mengxin heard this, she sighed and said, "Senior Sister Xia is right. If this person can successfully form a pill on his own, he must have some ability. I believe this.
However, I always feel that if we show our trump card directly like this, we may be a little too passive. What if this guy is still not satisfied and wants to raise the price again? "
"Don't worry. Although this person is a little timid and cautious, he still values loyalty to those close to him. A piece of jasper true water related to Song Qingyu's path is enough to impress him.
Judging from the fact that he has not broken any promises he made to you, he is considered a relatively honest person. When dealing with such people, we don’t have to be secretive. Treating each other with sincerity will make it easier to gain his trust. . "
Hearing Xia Mo's analysis, He Mengxin's face showed a hint of surprise. She nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.
On Song Qingming's side, after He Mengxin and He Mengxin left, he immediately took out two transmission notes and called Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan over who were in retreat.
After the three of them met, Song Qingming didn't have any worries and immediately told He Mengxin that they came to him for help.
Hearing that the place where He Mengxin and the others were going was near Yue Kingdom, the two girls also showed a trace of worry on their faces.
"Brother Seven, when you called us out, did you already think about going with them?"
When Song Qingming heard this, he nodded directly and said:
"That's right! The jade true water in Xia Mo's hand will be more helpful to you in forming pills. With this object, Siyuan's pill-forming spiritual object can also be found. The other party came to me with this spiritual object. It's true. It’s also something I can’t refuse.
I don't expect much gain from this trip, as long as I can successfully obtain the jade true water. "
Seeing that Song Qingming had made a decision in her heart, Huang Siyuan nodded slightly and said: "Since my husband has already made up his mind, you can go with peace of mind. Tuoyun Mountain is relatively peaceful now, and we will definitely not have any problems here. ”
"Well! You two don't have to worry. I should be able to come back within half a month of this trip at most. If anything bad happens during this period, don't hesitate too much and return to Funiu Mountain as soon as possible."
After exhorting the two girls, Song Qingming walked out of the cave and sent a message down the mountain. Soon after receiving the message, He Mengxin and the two reappeared in front of Song Qingming.
Seeing Song Qingming looking at him with a smile, Xia Mo slightly cupped his hands and asked, "Has Fellow Daoist Song already thought about it?"
Song Qingming nodded to the two girls with a firm face and said, "Yes, I have already thought about it. I wonder when you two want to set off, but do you still need to make some preparations?"
Xia Mo nodded slightly and said: "Recently, I have also thought about how to break the formation in addition to a set of four elephants. As long as four golden elixirs attack at the same time, there should be a 60-70% certainty that the formation can be broken."
"Now there are only three of us together. Why don't you wait until I go to the sect and invite one of you to accompany me?"
Hearing what Song Qingming said, Xia Mo shook his head slightly and said: "There is no need for this, I have a secret method in my hand that can help a ninth-level monk to have as much power as a golden elixir monk in a short period of time.
Fellow Daoist Song doesn't need to find anyone else. He only needs to bring Qingyu with us. Junior Sister He and I don't want to have too much contact with people from the Xiaoyao Sect. We hope fellow Daoist can understand. "
"We want to bring Qingyu with us, but not the others?" Hearing Xia Mo say this, Song Qingming also hesitated on his face.
Although Song Qingyu's cultivation has reached the ninth level of foundation building, he is still only a monk in the foundation building stage after all.
He has traveled thousands of miles to go to Yue Kingdom. If anything happens, as a golden elixir monk, it will naturally be easier for him to escape. However, Song Qingyu's cultivation level is only at the foundation building stage after all, so it is still a bit dangerous to go there.
He Mengxin also noticed Song Qingming's worries, and immediately said: "Compared to others, the two of us naturally trust Qing Yu.
Fellow Daoist Song, don’t worry. Qingyu and I have known each other for many years and are sisters. If anything happens, I will definitely not leave her casually. "
"I still need to talk to Qing Yu about this matter first. If she is unwilling to go, I hope the two fellow Taoists can understand and don't force it."
