Chapter 612: The Farewell of the Fire Phoenix, the Ice and Fire Dragon
Facing Senior Brother Lin Yutang's request, although Song Qingming fully understood their thoughts, he still felt a little sorry for Zhang Rong.
If Tuoyun Mountain hadn't suddenly suffered a sudden change, with his qualifications, if he could find a better elixir-forming spiritual object, his prospects would not be worse than those of Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan who were in retreat on the top of the mountain.
However, in the world of cultivating immortals, things are inherently unpredictable. The moment Tuo Yunshan was enthroned by Chen Jinliang, it was already doomed to prosper and decline, and began to decline. Even without the betrayal of the Ma family, it does not mean that Tuo Yunshan would be able to safe and sound.
Song Qingming and Chen Xuanxin had known each other for many years and were relatively familiar with each other. Lin Yutang and the others also knew this, so they approached Song Qingming directly.
After agreeing to their request, Song Qingming quickly wrote a letter to Lin Yutang on the spot, which served as an introduction to Lin Yutang and gave them a chance to meet Chen Xuanxin.
As for whether Lin Yutang and Lin Yutang can show enough sincerity to impress Chen Xuanxin and obtain the Demon King's inner elixir after they meet, this is none of Song Qingming's business.
After doing this, Song Qingming was not polite to them, and generously accepted the third-level bead elixir on the table, which made Lin Yutang and two people on the side feel a little relieved.
After sending Lin Yutang and two others away, Song Qingming sipped the spiritual tea in the private room for a while before getting up and walking out of Xianfeng Tower.
Not long after Song Qingming left, a few rooms next to the private room where he was, a woman dressed in red, after having had a drink and a meal, looked calmly at a young waiter waiting aside. opened his mouth and asked:
"I just heard you say so much. It seems that you should be very clear about the things here in Tuoyun Mountain. I just came here not long ago, and I am a little curious about some things. I want to find someone to ask about it first. I wonder if you know about it. !”
After the woman in red finished speaking, she raised her jade hand slightly, and a cloth bag appeared in her hand. She took out five red spirit stones and placed them on the table.
The waiter on the side looked at the sparkling spiritual stones on the table, his eyes suddenly showed a bit of greed, and he said seriously to the woman in red in front of him:
"Sir, you have really asked the right person. Speaking of Tuoyun Mountain, although there are all sorts of people here, as long as they are somewhat famous, they have been here for more than half a year.
I don’t dare to say that I definitely know everything. I definitely know at least 89% of the people. If you leave this door, no matter how many spiritual stones you spend, you may not be able to find anyone who is more familiar with this place than me. . "
As the young man spoke, his eyes kept glancing at the spiritual stones on the table. His whole mind was already firmly attracted by the unexpected windfall he was about to receive.
"How much do you know about the ancestor of the Song family who lives on the top of the mountain? Let me know. These spiritual stones will all be yours!"
The clerk, who was looking at the spirit stone on the table with bright eyes, suddenly woke up when he heard the woman in red mention the words "ancestor of the Song family".
He looked at the woman in red in front of him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Sir, what are you talking about, that you want to inquire about Patriarch Song?"
"That's right, just say whatever you know, preferably something that happened recently."
"this."
"What, these spirit stones are not enough?" Seeing that the man in front of him seemed a little embarrassed, the woman in red took out a few more spirit stones and put them on the table.
This Xianfeng Tower clerk glanced at the dozen or so spiritual stones on the table with some reluctance, and a chill flashed through his heart. He still shook his head and said to the woman in red with a firm look on his face:
"Sir, please don't make things difficult for me. We can't talk nonsense about the ancestor on the mountain. I advise you not to ask around.
Ten years ago, in our Xianfeng Building, there was a guy who made some random remarks to the guests. As a result, he was caught by the people from the Fang City Law Enforcement Team the next day and went to Yinfengling to mine. He still hasn’t done anything yet. Coming back. "
As the waiter spoke, he remembered what the shopkeeper of Xianfeng Tower had told him before he arrived here.
No matter who is here, they are not allowed to mention anything about the ancestor on the top of the mountain. Otherwise, once the Fang City Law Enforcement Team finds out, the guy who was caught mining in Yinfeng Ridge will be the fate of them.
"This guy is quite vindictive. He's just talking about his affairs. It's necessary to arrest him for mining!"
Hearing what the clerk said, the woman in red immediately thought of another Xianfenglou clerk, and then she muttered to herself with a slightly disappointed look on her face.
"Sir, if you don't have anything else to do, I'll go down first. If you want to pay, you can go directly to the counter later."
"Well! You go down first."
After the waiter left the private room nervously, the woman in red stood up and walked to the window. She looked at the direction of Song Qingming's departure on the street. A complicated look appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then she disappeared into a ray of white light.
After a long time, an innkeeper came to the private room again. After gently knocking on the door, he saw that no one answered in the private room, so he opened the door and walked in.
Seeing that the guest who was originally sitting in the room had disappeared, the Xianfeng Tower clerk was about to go out and call someone, when he suddenly saw a small bag of spiritual stones on the table from the corner of his eye, and his face suddenly showed a little smile. A look of surprise.
After leaving Xianfeng Tower and strolling around the market for a while, Song Qingming strolled back to the top of the mountain.
When Song Qingming walked not far in front of his cave, he suddenly saw a red figure appearing on the top of the mountain near where Song Qingyu was retreating.
Seeing this scene, Song Qingming's expression suddenly changed and he hurried over. Just when he was about to ask the other party, the red figure suddenly turned around and looked at Song Qingming, which made him stop in surprise.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Huofeng looked at Song Qingming, who was not far away. His aura had changed slightly from before, and he said with a calm face: "Your cultivation has broken through the middle stage of the Golden Core. It seems that your life has been rough since you came out of Bongtian Tower. It’s getting better and better!”
Song Qingming smiled and nodded, and walked quickly to Huofeng. After taking a closer look at her, he said with some joy on his face: "Your Highness, you have recovered from all your injuries. I am really gratified."
Back then, Huofeng encountered the Blood Demon Ancestor in Tongtian Pavilion. After a fierce battle, Huofeng was seriously injured. Although Song Qingming later helped Huofeng escape with Xuantian's help.
But when the two escaped from the ninth floor, Huofeng used her body's magic force to break the space barrier leading to the eighth floor, causing her injuries to suddenly worsen a lot. When the two met Fenghe, Huofeng almost I can no longer do it at will.
Even after the elixir given by Feng He temporarily suppressed the injuries on her body, Huofeng was not in very good condition when Song Qingming came out of the "Babel Tower" with her. She was afraid of being watched. As soon as she came out, she left alone.
Because he knew that Huofeng must be in seclusion to heal his injuries these years, Song Qingming did not dare to take the initiative to contact them in the Fuyun Mountains even though he was a little worried. It was not until he saw that Huofeng's injuries finally recovered today that he felt relieved.
"Hmph! Why are you so happy to see me recover? Are you not afraid that I am here to cause trouble for you?"
Seeing that Huofeng's tone became slightly serious, Song Qingming's face changed slightly and he quickly stood aside respectfully.
"Your Highness is joking. If you have any orders, just tell me. As long as I can serve you, how dare I disobey you? Why bother saying trouble? This is a bit out of line."
Huofeng glanced at Song Qingming with a complicated expression, then turned his eyes to the cave where Song Qingyu was retreating, and said softly:
"The people here who are in seclusion and condensing pills seem to have reached the stage of condensing pills. If nothing happens, they should be able to succeed. You don't have to worry too much."
Hearing Huofeng suddenly turn the topic to Song Qingyu who was in retreat, Song Qingming didn't react at first. After a while, he smiled and nodded:
"Thank you for your Highness's advice. If my sister-in-law can really successfully form the elixir this time, I will definitely prepare a small gift to express my gratitude to Your Highness."
"That's not necessary. I'm leaving Fuyun Mountains soon. I'm here to say goodbye to you this time. If you want to thank me, you'd better take out your things and give them to me now, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future." Huofeng turned around and smiled slightly at Song Qingming.
"Your Highness is leaving. Where are you going? Aren't you going to come back?" Seeing Huofeng say that he was leaving, Song Qingming was surprised when he heard the news, and couldn't help but blurt out a question.
Huofeng chuckled and said: "Where I am going has nothing to do with you, and there is no need to tell you. However, I will not come back for at least a short time after I leave this time.
You human monks have a short lifespan. Even if you reach the golden elixir realm, you will only have a few hundred years. If you don't practice hard, we may not see each other again after this parting. "
"this."
Hearing what Huofeng said, Song Qingming felt silent for a while, not knowing how to reply to the other party.
Although what Huofeng said was not pleasant to hear, it was also the reality that Song Qingming had to face. Compared with the demon clan, the lifespan of human monks was indeed much shorter.
Moreover, Huofeng is still a Nascent Soul cultivator. To her, hundreds of years are nothing. If Song Qingming does not break through to the Nascent Soul realm hundreds of years later, there is a high probability that the two of them will not be together. It's the day we meet.
"Well, you should be very happy to hear this news. From now on, no one will suddenly come to trouble you, the Song ancestor. You can be as powerful as you like without worrying that I will hear it."
Seeing that Song Qingming was looking deep in thought and didn't speak anymore, Huofeng laughed and teased him again.
"I am just a small Golden Core cultivator. Whether in front of you or in front of the Xiaoyao Sect, I am still far from enough. I am so powerful that I should keep a low profile."
Huofeng nodded slightly and said: "As long as you know this, neither Xiaoyao Sect nor I can be your forever supporter. If you want to survive in the world of immortality, you still have to rely on yourself."
"Yeah! You're right. In a place like this, with a large family of younger members below me, I have to walk on thin ice all the time to survive until today. I don't know if I will ever be able to feel at ease one day."
Song Qingming was able to achieve his current level of cultivation, although he had a lot of help from Huo Feng, Feng He and others, but most of it was due to his own step-by-step down-to-earth cultivation, coupled with being cautious and cautious, and he slowly got to where he is now.
"The way of cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Whether it is you or me, it is actually very simple to control your own destiny. As long as you have reached the level of cultivation, others will naturally recognize you."
"Now that you have cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm, are you still like me, unable to control your own destiny?"
Huofeng glanced at Song Qingming calmly, but did not answer his question. He turned around and left the place, and walked back to Huang Siyuan's retreat cave.
Seeing this, Song Qingming felt a little regretful. He seemed to have asked too many questions today. He sighed softly and followed quickly.
After the two of them stood for a moment outside the cave where Huang Siyuan retreated, Huofeng showed a slight smile on his lips, then turned to Song Qingming and asked: "Do you have anything else to tell me? If not, I will." I'm leaving."
After hearing this, Song Qingming thought quickly in Weiwei's mind and replied: "I still have some things stored in my cave, which I have collected for you over the years. Why don't you come with me to get them first? "
"That's fine! Even though I'm here, I can't live up to your kindness."
After Song Qingming brought Huofeng to his cave, he took out two storage bags from the stone wall on one side of the cave and handed them to Huofeng himself.
"I originally prepared some more, but they are all still over there at Funiu Mountain and I haven't brought them over. If you are not in a hurry, I can make a quick trip."
"It doesn't matter. These things are just external things and are of no help to your practice. It doesn't matter whether you have them or not. It doesn't matter if you have more or less. As long as you have this intention."
Huofeng picked up the two storage bags, checked them briefly, nodded with satisfaction, put them around his waist, and then turned his eyes to Song Qingming's face.
"Besides these, do you have anything else to say to me?"
"Anything else? There seems to be none! Say goodbye to Brother Longfeng and Qingluan for me. I hope you have a safe journey and we may see each other again in the future!"
Hearing this, Huofeng slowly showed some doubts on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he said seriously: "I mean, if you have any other requests, you can tell me now.
You saved me once in the Babel Tower. No matter you are a demon or a human monk, I don't like to owe others casual favors.
You can take the initiative to make a request now. As long as I can satisfy it, I will consider it. You understand what I mean? "
Song Qingming stood there, stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said: "I saved you at that time, and I only did it after someone's guidance. It's not a big credit, so you don't need to pay too much attention to it.
To be honest, you have helped me a lot over the years and given me many spiritual objects. If you hadn't helped me, I would not have formed the elixir so smoothly. I still know this in my heart.
If I can help you once, I can repay your kindness! "
The kindness Huofeng mentioned was the incident when Song Qingming suddenly appeared and took her away after she was entangled by the Blood Demon Ancestor in Babel Tower.
After the two escaped, although Song Qingming did not reveal Xuantian's identity, he took the initiative to admit to Huofeng that he had met a senior master in "Tongtian Pavilion" and got help from him before leading Huofeng to escape. from.
Huo Feng was also a little curious about the master Song Qingming was talking about at the time, but because the situation between the two of them was really not good at that time, she did not ask too much about the matter, so she could only attribute the credit to Song Qingming.
"Oh! You don't want the benefit that I brought to you on my own initiative, do you? You're really ignorant, so don't blame me for not giving you a chance." After Huofeng finished speaking, his pretty face tightened slightly and gave After receiving Song Qingming's somewhat unhappy look, he turned around and walked out of the cave.
Seeing that Huo Feng seemed to have misunderstood her, Song Qingming was a little surprised. She cursed herself in her heart and hurried forward to stop her.
"Your Highness, don't be angry. I was just trying to be polite to you. I happen to have something here and I want to trouble you, but I couldn't speak for a while. It's all my fault for being stupid."
Seeing Song Qingming's anxious and regretful look, Huo Feng, who was almost reaching the entrance of the cave, stopped and said calmly: "What's going on, please tell me!"
"When I was in the Babel Tower, I found a spirit beast egg that was still alive after thousands of years from a Taoist friend who had died there. After I came back, I asked many people, but no one recognized it or knew. How to hatch.
Your Highness, you are well-informed. Please help me find out what this thing is and whether there is any way to help hatch it. "
After Song Qingming finished speaking, with a flash of inspiration in his right hand, he quickly took out the "Millennium Spiritual Beast Egg" on his body and carefully brought it to Huofeng.
It has been more than ten years since he got this "thousand-year spirit beast egg", but it has not been hatched yet, which makes Song Qingming look forward to it, but also has a worry in his heart.
Seeing the golden spirit beast egg in Song Qingming's hand, Huofeng's eyes showed a hint of surprise and asked directly: "Do you want to hatch this spirit beast egg?".
"Yes, I still don't know what kind of spiritual stone this is. Can you hatch it out?" Seeing that Huofeng seemed to have understood the origin of this object, Song Qingming nodded hurriedly and asked expectantly.
"This should be a spirit beast egg from an ice and fire dragon. However, because a long time has passed, the energy of the spirit beast inside has been damaged, so it is difficult to hatch it."
After Huo Feng finished speaking, a red light flashed in his hand, and soon a group of red spiritual light gathered at the fingertips. After the group of spiritual light became several times larger, Huo Feng gently raised his finger and quickly shot the red spiritual light into the spirit beast egg in Song Qingming's hand.
After completing this step, Huo Feng, whose face was slightly pale, quickly put away the magic power on his body, and then came to Song Qingming.
Seeing that Huo Feng seemed a little tired after casting a spell, Song Qingming was also slightly puzzled. When he was about to ask a question, he didn't expect that a crisp sound suddenly came from the spirit beast egg in his hand that was already wrapped in a group of red light.
Song Qingming looked closely and found that a small crack had appeared on the top of the spirit beast egg. Before he could look carefully, the crack on the spirit beast egg quickly expanded a lot, and soon broke into two halves from the middle.
"Is it that simple?" Seeing the movement of the spirit beast egg in his hand about to break the shell, Song Qingming couldn't help but show a little surprise.
Then a small blue tail appeared in front of Song Qingming and the others, and then it turned over in the eggshell and slowly revealed its entire body.
At this moment, Song Qingming could see clearly that the spirit beast that was still curiously looking at itself in the eggshell was actually a small blue snake that was only about half a foot long.
"Is this the Ice and Fire Dragon?"
Generally, the bloodline of a higher-grade demon beast will be higher than that of an ordinary demon beast. The "Sky Fire Peng" that Song Qingyu found was a demon beast of the middle level of Qi Refining not long after it was hatched.
The aura of the little snake in Song Qingming's hand was only in the early stage of Qi Refining, which was completely different from the high-level demon beast bloodline he imagined.
"I spent so much time and effort, and finally spent a favor to ask the Fire Phoenix for help, and hatched such a thing. This thousand-year spirit beast egg is too deceptive,"
Looking at the blue little snake in front of him, which looked no different from the green bamboo python he had seen before, except for the two fleshy little horns on its head, Song Qingming couldn't help but show a little disappointment on his face.
"This Ice Fire Flood Dragon is also a rare species of dragons. Generally, it is at least a first-class monster after hatching. The reason why its cultivation is not so high now is because of the loss of vitality before.
I have just enlightened its intelligence. As long as you cultivate it carefully in the future, it should recover in no time." Seeing the disappointment on Song Qingming's face, Huo Feng hurriedly explained.
After Song Qingming showed some understanding, he asked softly: "So that's the case. If this spirit beast is cultivated well, what realm can it cultivate to in the future."
"It's hard to say. Although we are all monsters, I don't know much about the dragon lineage, but from the general situation, it is definitely no problem to cultivate to the third level. If you are lucky, you may break through the Nascent Soul and advance to the Transformation Realm."
"Oh! This is more or less. It's not in vain that I have spent so much effort on you." After hearing Huo Feng's explanation, Song Qingming looked at the "Ice Fire Flood Dragon" and his eyes immediately became a little kind.
The "Ice Fire Dragon" in Song Qingming's hand, which had just hatched, became a little bolder after getting familiar with the surrounding environment. It jumped directly from Song Qingming's hand to the ground and soon came to the feet of the Fire Phoenix. (End of this chapter)
