Chapter 613 Farewell, Qingyu Dan
Compared to Song Qingming, the master who had "carefully taken care of" it for more than ten years, this "Ice and Fire Dragon" seemed to be closer to the Fire Phoenix that had just helped to hatch. It arched its small head and kept rubbing against the Fire Phoenix's feet.
Seeing this little guy so close to the Fire Phoenix, Song Qingming guessed that it might be because the Fire Phoenix had enlightened the "Ice and Fire Dragon" bloodline when it helped to hatch it before.
When Song Qingming just met Long Feng, he had heard him mention that the Fire Phoenix had the ability to help low-level spirit beasts in advance and enlighten their bloodline supernatural powers in advance.
The reason why Long Feng and Qing Luan, the two demons, could speak human language in the early stage of Jindan and their intelligence far exceeded that of ordinary demon kings was because the Fire Phoenix enlightened their bloodline in advance.
Now his "Ice and Fire Dragon" also has this opportunity. Just as the Fire Phoenix said, as long as it is properly cultivated, it will not be a big problem to break through the fourth level and become a Yuanying demon beast in the future, at least to cultivate to the Jindan realm like Long Feng and others.
For a foundation-building spirit beast like the Skyfire Peng, most of the foundation-building families in the world of immortal cultivation, such as the Huang family and the Gao family, which have a history of three to five hundred years, will domesticate one to protect the family's sacred mountain.
However, such spirit beasts can only stay at the foundation-building stage in general, and it is difficult to upgrade to the golden elixir stage. In the world of immortal cultivation, except for a few large sects that mainly tame beasts, it is rare to see spirit beasts above the golden elixir stage in other places.
In the entire Wei Kingdom, there is only one golden elixir-level spirit beast in the spirit beast hall in the back mountain of Xiaoyao Sect.
Because the sect has been closely guarding it, most people in the world of immortal cultivation in Wei Kingdom do not know about it. Even Song Qingming, a golden elixir cultivator, only slowly learned about the existence of this spirit beast after joining the sect as a guest elder.
This golden elixir spirit beast was left behind by a golden elixir senior in Xiaoyao Sect hundreds of years ago. It is said that its cultivation has reached the peak of the middle golden elixir stage, and it is only one step away from advancing to the late golden elixir stage.
However, after its master passed away, there has been no beastmaster above level three in Xiaoyao Sect for hundreds of years. Although many people have tried to tame this golden elixir spirit beast again, they have all failed.
For this reason, Xiaoyao Sect can only put it in the spirit beast hall in the back mountain and provide it with good food and drink.
Although there is no way to tame this powerful golden elixir spirit beast for the sect, once Guyang Mountain is invaded by foreign enemies, it is still willing to come out to help protect the sect.
Faced with the intentional approach of "Ice and Fire Dragon", Huo Feng did not refuse. She reached out and took it on her arm and gently tapped its little head.
"Ice and Fire Dragon is a monster that can perfectly integrate water and fire attributes. As long as it is a spirit creature of the two types, it is their favorite.
You must remember to try to make it appear less in front of strangers, and never let people know that it has been enlightened. Otherwise, it may bring you unnecessary trouble."
After Huo Feng finished speaking, he gently lifted the magic power in his hand and sent the "Ice and Fire Dragon" who was still reluctant to leave her back to Song Qingming.
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness!"
Song Qingming nodded slightly, took out a spirit beast bag, put the "Ice Fire Dragon" directly into the bag, and then threw it on the stone table in the cave.
After dealing with the "Ice Fire Dragon", Song Qingming just turned around, and Huo Feng threw a bamboo scroll and a small porcelain bottle to him.
"Last time I heard Long Feng say that you are very interested in its shapeshifting technique. This technique can also be practiced by you human cultivators. I just brought it, so I will give it to you on his behalf.
This bottle of thousand-year spirit milk is what I just collected. You prepared so many things for me this time, so I will take it as a thank you."
After taking these two spirit objects, Song Qingming took a look at them, and immediately smiled a little, and happily put them into his own storage magic tool.
Needless to say, the value of the thousand-year-old spiritual milk has long been the spiritual object that Song Qingming wants most. Song Qingming asked Huo Feng several times before, but she refused and said that she had no more. This time, she could take out a bottle, which was indeed unexpected by Song Qingming.
Another secret technique of transformation in the bamboo slips was that Song Qingming had been curious about Long Feng after seeing him perform it several times before. He asked Long Feng a few questions when he was in the "Tower of Babel".
Song Qingming did not expect that Long Feng would tell Huo Feng about this matter afterwards.
This transformation technique can not only change the body shape at any time, but also can almost hide the spiritual sense of the cultivators of the same level after practicing it. This is much more convenient than Song Qingming wearing a mask and a hat to conceal his identity when he often goes out.
However, if you want to practice like Long Feng, change into a high-level cultivator at will, and make others unable to detect it in a short time, it is not so easy, and you must work hard.
"The man we met in the cave last time should be your friend!"
Song Qingming, who had just put away the two spiritual objects, was stunned for a moment before reacting when he heard what Huo Feng said. She seemed to be talking about Feng He, whom they met in the "Tower of Babel".
Huo Feng was a very smart person. After meeting Feng He in the cave that day, although she could not move because of her wounds, her consciousness could still be released. Naturally, she was very clear about the game and struggle between Song Qingming and Feng He.
After Feng He pretended to retreat and left that day, although Huo Feng was concentrating on healing at the time and did not take the initiative to ask about this matter, Song Qingming knew in his heart that this matter was probably still hidden from her.
Seeing her asking him face to face, Song Qingming did not want to hide the fact that he and Feng He already knew each other. After thinking for a moment, he nodded directly.
Seeing that Song Qingming admitted his relationship with Feng He, Huo Feng frowned slightly and said cautiously:
"This person's spiritual awareness is no less than that of a Yuanying cultivator. It should not be as simple as it seems on the surface. No matter what your relationship with this person is, you need to be careful when you meet him in the future.
The higher the cultivation level of your human cultivators, the more cunning they are. I am also kindly reminding you not to trust others too easily. It is up to you whether you listen or not."
Sure enough, as Song Qingming thought, although Huo Feng did not say it clearly, she had almost guessed that Feng He might be the person who took over the body of a Yuanying cultivator, so she kindly reminded herself to be careful.
However, Huo Feng did not know that Song Qingming not only knew Feng He's identity a long time ago, but also had a "credit" for his taking over the body and rebuilding it.
Over the years, although Feng He's possession of the body has not been exposed, Song Qingming, who has done some bad things, is often a little worried in his heart, fearing that one day the matter will be exposed and he and the whole family will be implicated.
When Song Qingming and Feng He met, the reason why they chose to cooperate with each other was actually not his voluntary and helpless act, just like when she first met Huo Feng.
At that time, Song Qingming was just a small foundation-building cultivator. Facing the calculations of these two Yuanying cultivators, he had no choice but to nod and agree. In the final analysis, it was just for self-protection.
Fortunately, Song Qingming's luck is not too bad at present. Whether it is Huo Feng or Feng He, although these two people have their own purposes and styles of doing things, they are still trustworthy people and have never done anything to repay Song Qingming with enmity.
Hearing Huo Feng's words of concern, Song Qingming smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I have known him for many years. Although we are not very familiar with each other, it is not the first time we have dealt with each other. I still know something about him."
"Well! It's good that you know it in your heart. It's almost time for me to leave. I hope you can take care of yourself." Huo Feng told Song Qingming, then turned around and walked out of his cave.
Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately followed her out. Then, under his gaze, Huo Feng turned into a burst of white light and disappeared directly on the spot.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Song Qingming looked at the direction where Huo Feng left far away, and a little complicated color appeared in his heart.
When he first met Huo Feng, Song Qingming's cultivation was only the second level of foundation building. Facing Huo Feng, a high-level cultivator of the demon clan, he was once scared and thought that his path could only stop here.
More than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. Song Qingming, who has successfully broken through to the Jindan realm, did not expect that the relationship between him and Huo Feng would change so much.
The two of them were used at the beginning, then they were able to cooperate with each other and get what they needed, and now they have developed a few more ties that only companions or friends have.
It must be said that Huo Feng has played a very important role in Song Qingming's cultivation path for more than a hundred years. Without her sincere help, Song Qingming's path would definitely not be so smooth.
As an ordinary cultivator who has experienced the helplessness and cruelty of the immortal world and struggled from the bottom to the Jindan stage step by step.
Song Qingming's gratitude to Huo Feng is naturally needless to say. Even though he knew that she was a demon cultivator, Song Qingming never treated her as an outsider.
At that time, in the cave on the eighth floor of the "Babel Tower", facing the "threat" of Feng He who had not yet revealed his identity.
Song Qingming knew that he could not defeat the other party, but for the safety of Huo Feng, he still did not hesitate to reject Feng He's proposal to betray Huo Feng and chose to deal with the other party to the end.
Just as he said to Feng He sincerely at that time, even if Song Qingming was not a person of high morals, he still had a bottom line in his behavior and would never betray his companions easily.
After the two experienced a life-and-death crisis together in the "Babel Tower", the cooperative relationship between Song Qingming and Huo Feng has now become much closer, with considerable subtle changes.
Hearing the news that Huo Feng was leaving suddenly, Song Qingming was indeed a little surprised, so that at this moment, he felt as if he had lost a lot of things.
"A backer who can be relied on secretly, a friend who can cooperate with each other,..., these will probably not be available to Song Qingming in the future."
Although he was still a little reluctant to let her leave, Song Qingming also knew that Huo Feng was right. She could not always be his backer. If he wanted to control his own destiny, Song Qingming still needed to work hard to practice and rely on his own cultivation.
The world of immortal cultivation is so big that even Huo Feng, as a Yuanying cultivator, would have helpless words about his own destiny.
Song Qingming's current cultivation is still far from enough, and he can only barely protect the small area of the Song family. Even if he wants to help Huo Feng, his current ability is not qualified.
If one day, Song Qingming really breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, and then he meets Huo Feng again, maybe the two can become true friends.
"The scenery in the world is so beautiful, and you still need to work hard to practice to see further!"
Seeing that the sun was slowly setting on the horizon, Song Qingming, who was standing on the top of the mountain, looked at this rare sunset scenery, smiled and sighed, then turned around and walked slowly back to his cave.
——
Northeast of Tuoyun Mountain, there is a high mountain thousands of miles away.
As a white light flew in, the figure of the fire phoenix appeared out of thin air on top of a huge rock on the side of the mountain top.
"Your Highness, you are finally back. Have you met that boy Song Qingming?" After seeing Huofeng's figure, Longfeng and Qingluan immediately came to her from a short distance away.
Huofeng waved his hand and said, "Well! I have met him. This guy's cultivation has just broken through the fourth level of the Golden Core. His cultivation speed is pretty good."
"What! This kid has broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core so quickly. The cultivation speed of human monks is really unbelievable. It seems that I still underestimated this kid at the beginning." Long Feng heard that Song Qingming broke through to the fourth level of the Golden Core. News, there was a hint of surprise in his tone.
Qingluan, who was standing next to Long Feng, heard Long Feng's words and suddenly became unhappy and said:
"Hmph! This guy's qualifications are so poor. If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet me and get the strong support from His Highness, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to connect to the Dan in this life. There's nothing to brag about."
Thinking that Song Qingming, who was still submissive in front of him at the beginning, has now surpassed him in cultivation, Qingluan felt a little depressed for no reason.
Huo Feng shook his head and said: "If he didn't work hard to practice, even with my support, he wouldn't be able to achieve what he is today. Don't underestimate him on this point."
Last time we went to Tongtian Pavilion, Song Qingming also had some opportunities after entering Tongtian Pavilion. If nothing happens, he should be able to cultivate to the ninth level of the Golden Core and hit the Nascent Soul realm in the future. Maybe we can meet him again. Day. "
"Your Highness! Can this kid really have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul realm?" Hearing that Huofeng was so optimistic about Song Qingming, Long Feng and Qingluan also had a look of confusion on their faces.
Regardless of whether they are human or demon monks, with sufficient supply of cultivation resources and good luck, they have a high chance of cultivating to the golden elixir realm, but those who can break through to the Nascent Soul realm must be geniuses with great opportunities. man of.
Even Long Feng, the Great Demon King whose cultivation has reached the late stage of the Golden Core, and with Huo Feng as his great backer, does not dare to say that he has much confidence in breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future.
It was hard for both of them to imagine that Song Qingming, a human boy with mediocre qualifications, would really be able to reach this realm of cultivation that all the golden elixir cultivators in the world of immortality dream of, as Huo Feng said.
Seeing that Long Feng and Long Feng were a little confused about what he said, Huo Feng didn't explain too much. He waved his hands to them and said:
"Okay! No matter how things develop here, it has nothing to do with us. It depends on fate in the future. Next, you will come with me to say goodbye to Uncle Jin Yu, and we will prepare to return to Northern Xinjiang. "
"Haha! Your Highness is right. Staying in a place like the Fuyun Mountains these years has always been a bit scary. When we return to Northern Xinjiang, we should not have to worry about these problems.
His Highness has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. If the Holy Emperor knows about it, he will definitely be very happy. Maybe Long Feng and I can get some rewards when we go back this time. "
Seeing Qingluan on the side becoming more and more happy as he talked, Huofeng shook his head slightly and said: "Don't think about things too simply. Those old guys in the clan are always restless, and my father is still having trouble controlling the situation. , we still need to be careful on the way back.
Although I have broken through the realm of Nascent Soul, those people may not dare to attack us directly, but it is very possible for them to do some conspiracy and tricks behind the scenes. It is too early for us to be happy now. . "
Long Feng nodded slightly and replied: "Your Highness is right, Qingluan, you are really too anxious. If Your Highness had been so careless like you all day long, I'm afraid we wouldn't be alive today."
Hearing Huofeng and Longfeng's scolding, Qingluan, who had always had a bad temper, could only close his mouth in aggrieved manner and followed them obediently.
As the fire phoenix took the lead and turned into a ray of white light, the figures of the three people quickly disappeared on this high mountain.
——
After bidding farewell to Huofeng, Song Qingming's life in Tuoyun Mountain fell into peace again.
In addition to daily practice, he would feed the spirit beasts and practice the newly acquired skills. Nearly two years passed quickly.
On this day, white clouds suddenly rolled over the top of Tuoyun Mountain, and soon a large group of white clouds gathered.
Immediately after the entire Lingshan Mountain approached the top of the mountain, spiritual energy began to flow crazily into a cave on the top floor that had been silent for a long time.
Song Yuanli, who was practicing in the cave, felt the changes in the spiritual energy around him and hurried out of the cave to the outside of the cave where Song Qingyu was retreating at the top of the mountain.
As soon as he got closer, Song Yuanli saw from a distance that two figures had arrived outside the cave a step ahead of him, and were looking seriously at the rolling white clouds in the sky.
Song Yuanli came to the two of them, bowed his hands slightly, and then asked softly: "Seventh Uncle, does this strange phenomenon in the world mean that Patriarch Qingyu has begun to form elixirs."
Song Qingming turned around and smiled at Song Yuanli and nodded, saying: "Calculating the time, it should be about time. Yuanli, go down and make arrangements, let Lin Yutang and others open all the mountain protection formations, and don't be stingy with the spirit stones, I will replenish them later.
Also tell the law enforcement team that during the activation of the mountain protection formation, all unfamiliar cultivators can go down the mountain, but they are not allowed to go up the mountain. No matter what they have to do next, they must wait until Qingyu forms a pill."
"Don't worry, Uncle Qi, I'll arrange it right away!" Song Yuanli responded happily and hurriedly left here.
Huang Siyuan, who was standing next to Song Qingming, looked at the strange phenomena of heaven and earth that kept rolling in the sky, and said with a little worry on her face: "Husband, the golden elixir road is so difficult, do you think Qingyu can succeed in forming a pill this time?"
Huang Siyuan retreated for three years to form a pill. Although she also triggered the strange phenomena of heaven and earth, she failed in the end as expected and failed to form a pill successfully. She had come out of retreat half a year earlier.
Huang Siyuan, who had already reached the Golden Core Realm once, naturally also realized how difficult it was to form a pill, which made her a little worried about Song Qingyu, who was also trying to reach the Golden Core Realm.
"Well! Qingyu's formation of the pill this time seems to be relatively smooth. Although I am not 100% sure about her, from the current situation, I still have 70% to 80% confidence, so you don't have to worry too much about her.
Although you did not succeed in forming the pill this time, you have already reached the key step of forming the pill, which is much better than mine back then.
And the injuries from your formation of the pill this time are not that serious. As long as you rest and recuperate for a while, and wait until you have practiced the Cang Yuan Technique again, you can reach the Golden Core Realm again, and it will only take a few years at most."
Although Huang Siyuan did not succeed in forming the pill in this retreat, Song Qingming was basically satisfied with the result.
Seeing that there was some worry in her tone, Song Qingming smiled and comforted her.
Huang Siyuan was delighted when she heard this and said, "Oh! My husband has such confidence in Qingyu. It seems that she can really succeed this time."
"She has already succeeded in condensing the golden elixir. As long as she seizes the opportunity, she can refine the golden elixir in a dozen days at most and enter the golden elixir road."
The most difficult step to break through the golden elixir realm is the condensation of the golden elixir, although after the condensation of the golden elixir, the cultivator has already stepped half a foot into the golden elixir realm.
However, if this step is not taken well, even if the heaven and earth anomalies are triggered, the golden elixir in the body that is not solidified and still somewhat fragile will break apart and fall back to the foundation-building realm because it cannot withstand the crazy influx of spiritual energy.
More than 80% of the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation who failed to break through the golden elixir realm fell on this step. Huang Siyuan failed to condense the golden elixir before, and it was the same.
After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Huang Siyuan nodded slightly, and had more confidence in Song Qingyu's success in condensing the golden elixir.
While Song Qingming and the other two were chatting outside, Song Qingyu, who was in the retreat cave, was emitting a thin golden light and consuming a large amount of spiritual energy from the surrounding heaven and earth. She had also reached the most critical moment of reaching the Golden Core Realm.
Feeling that the golden core in her body was already unable to withstand the huge spiritual energy, Song Qingyu moved her magic power and drew a stream of green spiritual energy from the small jade bottle in front of her, which quickly entered her body.
The small jade bottle contained the "Jade True Water", an auxiliary spiritual object that she had prepared when she was in retreat to reach the Golden Core Realm. (End of this chapter)
