Chapter 640 Returning to Wei State, Yao Qianshu's considerations

Chapter 640 Returning to Wei State, Yao Qianshu's considerations

After they went down the mountain, they strolled around the streets of "Tian Dan City" and then walked through the market to the beach, where they admired the unique sunset scenery in the East China Sea.

Huang Siyuan, who had always been very quiet in front of Song Qingming, completely changed her personality after arriving at the beach this time, and completely let go of the dignified image she had maintained for many years.

Seeing Huang Siyuan like a little girl, happily facing the sea in front of her, talking loudly to herself and shouting out many small wishes she wanted to fulfill in the future, Song Qingming, who was standing aside, was also surprised by her innocent appearance.

Since Huang Siyuan entered the Taoism and practiced, she was first neglected by the family and sent to the Song family as a pawn. Later, in order to build a foundation, she went out alone for decades and experienced life and death before returning.

Huang Siyuan, who has suffered from the warmth and coldness of human feelings since childhood and is used to relying on herself in everything, is more mature than Song Qingyu in character, although she is a dozen years younger than Song Qingyu. Since Song Qingming met her, he has never seen her so innocent.

The two watched the sunset at the beach that day, and waited for the moon to rise. It was not until the next morning that they returned to the cave where Song Qingming rented in "Tian Dan City" to greet the sunrise.

After Huang Siyuan successfully formed a pill, the "Tian Dan League" specially held a small pill formation celebration for her in Tian Dan City to show its importance to her, and invited many cultivators in the league to come to the ceremony and congratulate.

Although Huang Siyuan is still only a peripheral member of the "Tian Dan League", the internal elders such as Ye Qiuyuan are indeed quite caring for her, a cultivator who has just formed a pill.

Not only did they send a lot of gifts in person, but they also took the initiative to teach Huang Siyuan a lot of things related to alchemy skills during the celebration, which also benefited Huang Siyuan, who was well versed in alchemy, and her understanding of some pills was greatly improved.

After staying in "Tiandan City" for more than a month, Song Qingming, who was ready to leave, took Huang Siyuan, who had already received her three-year alchemy task, and said goodbye to Ye Qiuyuan and others, and set off to return to the Fuyun Mountain Range to cultivate immortals.

The two took the "Phantom Boat" all the way west, spent half a month passing through Duanyun Mountain, and then passed through several small countries in Zheng State, and finally returned to Qinghe County, which they had been away from for a long time, after a lapse of five years.

Just after passing through Yunwu Mountain, Song Qingming saw a fierce battle sound coming from a high mountain not far ahead.

After controlling the "Phantom Boat" to approach directly, Song Qingming found that it was a large group of cultivators who were struggling to encircle and suppress a second-level inferior foundation-building monster.

"It's Changze and Xuanting. I didn't expect Xuanting to have successfully built his foundation!" After a glance at the crowd, Huang Siyuan on the side quickly recognized that the two leading foundation-building cultivators in the group of cultivators were the people of the Song family in Funiu Mountain.

The many cultivators who were fighting hard with the second-level inferior monster below suddenly saw two sword lights flying quickly in front of them, directly landing on the foundation-building monster that had been confronting them for a long time.

A moment later, the monster let out a miserable cry, and then slowly fell to the ground without any breath.

The people who saw this scene were also shocked, and hurriedly looked up in the sky, only to find the figures of Song Qingming and the other person in the air in the distance, and a burst of exclamations came from the crowd.

Soon, two sword lights flew directly from the mountain to Song Qingming, and bowed to them.

"Changze, Xuanting greet the clan leader!"

Looking at the two people in front of him, Song Qingming first smiled and nodded to Song Xuanting, the newly promoted family foundation-building cultivator, and then asked Song Changze beside him:

"Why are you hunting monsters here? Did Yuanfang ask you to come? Nothing happened at home in the past few years!"

"Reporting to the clan leader, not long ago, this monster attacked a mine near Chiyanfang. Uncle Sixteen asked us to lead the Fangshi Law Enforcement Team to strengthen patrols. These few days, Xuanting and I happened to track the monster's trail, so we led people to surround it here!

This In the past two years, apart from Xuanting and Aunt Sixteen who were building their foundation, the family was peaceful and nothing major happened. "

"It is still a bit dangerous for you guys to hunt level 2 or above monsters in a place with many monsters. What if there are other level 2 monsters nearby? How can you deal with them?

Don't be so reckless in the future. You should wait until you have organized your forces before taking action."

After hearing Song Changze's reply, Song Qingming reminded them again, then turned the direction of the flying boat and left the place, flying towards the nearby Funiu Mountain.

When Song Qingming just arrived outside the Funiu Mountain mountain protection formation and was about to pass through the formation, a green sword light suddenly flew out from Funiu Mountain and stopped beside Song Qingming and the others.

"Qingyu, you are also at home. This is really a coincidence. We thought you should be in Tuoyun Mountain now!" Seeing Song Qingyu just greeted him at home, Huang Siyuan and Song Qingming showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

Song Qingyu did not answer the two people's words. As soon as he came up, his eyes were fixed on Huang Siyuan. When he saw that the aura emanating from Huang Siyuan was different from before, and she had become a Jindan cultivator who was not much different from her.

Song Qingyu suddenly jumped onto the "Phantom Boat", came to Huang Siyuan with a happy face, and hugged her shoulders tightly.

"Haha! Sister-in-law, you really didn't disappoint me. You have successfully formed a pill and broken through to the Jindan realm. This is really great."

"Look how excited you are. I didn't see you so happy when you succeeded in forming a pill!" Huang Siyuan smiled and nodded in response, and hurriedly pushed her away.

"Qingyu! If you have anything to say, let's talk slowly when we get back!"

Seeing the two people standing on the flying boat, they seemed to have endless things to say after not seeing each other for many years. Song Qingming shook his head slightly, and hurriedly controlled the flying boat to enter the mountain protection formation of Funiu Mountain, and brought the two women to the "Meeting Immortal Pavilion" on the top of the mountain.

After the three of them sat down and chatted for half a day, Song Qingming and the others finally learned about some major events that happened in the Song family and even in Weiguo in the past few years when Song Qingming and the others were away.

The reason why Song Qingyu happened to appear in Funiu Mountain to greet Song Qingming and the others was because during the five years when Huang Siyuan went to the East China Sea to form a pill, a major event happened in the northern cultivation world of Weiguo.

More than a year ago, Zhang Rong, a disciple of Chen Jinliang of Tuoyun Mountain, had succeeded in forming a pill before Huang Siyuan.

Back then, with the introduction and guidance of Song Qingming, after Lin Yutang and his fellow disciples obtained the inner elixir of the demon king from Chen Xuanxin, they began to fully support Zhang Rong in the path of fake elixir.

After so many years of careful preparation, Zhang Rong, who had been in a rented cave house and was in seclusion to form an elixir, finally successfully formed a fake elixir and returned to Tuoyun Mountain in Weiguo a year ago.

After Zhang Rong came back, because there was a fake elixir cultivator sitting on Tuoyun Mountain, Song Qingyu saw that he no longer had to stay on "Tuoyun Mountain", so he went directly back to Funiu Mountain to practice.

Although the combat power of fake elixir cultivators is much worse than that of ordinary golden elixir cultivators, Zhang Rong would definitely find it difficult to deal with the monster beast of the level of Yunhe Demon King head-on

However, with the two third-level mountain protection formations of "Tuoyun Mountain" strengthened by Song Qingming, Zhang Rong could still deal with it even if he couldn't beat the opponent.

Even if they were besieged by many monsters, as long as the cultivators on Tuoyun Mountain could hold the mountain protection formation for a while, they could send a message for help and wait for the reinforcements from the Song family or Xiaoyao Sect.

Song Qingming was a little surprised when he heard that Zhang Rong had successfully formed a fake pill.

Although he helped Lin Yutang and others and wrote a letter of introduction to Chen Xuanxin.

However, Song Qingming did not deliberately inquire about what happened between them later. He did not expect that Zhang Rong actually got the demon king's inner pill from Chen Xuanxin and used it to form a fake pill and successfully entered the golden pill realm.

You should know that although it is relatively easier to take the fake pill route than a normal cultivator to impact the golden pill realm, the probability of success will not exceed 30% at most, and it is not certain to succeed with just a third-level demon pill.

In addition to the fact that the strength of forming a fake pill is not as good as that of a real golden pill cultivator, the spiritual resources required to form a fake pill are much more than those of a normal impact on the golden pill realm, and there is still a high probability of failure to form a pill.

It is for this reason that most of the foundation-building cultivators who face the problem of forming a pill in the world of immortal cultivation, whether they are independent cultivators or sect cultivators, will not choose to take the path of fake pills.

Just like Huang Shengxin back then, even if they can't find the five-element spiritual objects to assist in forming a pill, they will only choose to use the second-rate "Jade Dust Pill" to impact the Golden Pill realm, and will not waste resources to try to form a fake pill.

Only like Feng Yangde back then, who has no hope on his own path and has the full support of the Golden Pill cultivators behind him, will he take the shortcut of fake pills without any worries.

In fact, from the beginning, when Song Qingming knew that Zhang Rong chose to form a fake pill, he was not very optimistic about this matter.

Before this, although the "Golden Cloud Pavilion" still has a high status on Tuoyun Mountain, the lifespan of Lin Yutang and his brothers is not much, and Zhang Rong has failed to form a pill twice. In fact, Chen Jinliang's lineage has actually been in a dangerous situation of no successor.

Once the two brothers passed away, the remaining people in the "Golden Cloud Pavilion" would not be able to protect the industry. It would not be long before the "Golden Cloud Pavilion" and even the entire Tuoyun Mountain Spiritual Vein would fall into the hands of others.

Lin Yutang and Zhang Rong were so depressed that they chose to let Zhang Rong take the fake pill route.

In Song Qingming's opinion, even if Zhang Rong's brothers exchanged for the demon pill from Chen Xuanxin, they would probably fail to form the pill.

However, this matter was an internal matter of Lin Yutang and Zhang Rong's "Golden Cloud Pavilion" after all, and Song Qingming did not want to care too much. At that time, he just reminded them a little, and when he saw that Lin Yutang and the others were determined, he did not say anything more.

Unexpectedly, Song Qingming was really a little wrong this time. Zhang Rong actually withstood the pressure and successfully formed a fake pill when the "Golden Cloud Pavilion" was now in internal and external troubles.

Zhang Rong's success in forming the pill not only reversed the dangerous situation of the "Golden Cloud Pavilion", but also brought about great changes to the entire Tuoyun Mountain.

Tuoyun Mountain, which originally needed to rely on the Song family and Xiaoyao Sect for protection, now has Zhang Rong, a fake pill cultivator, and can be regarded as having some self-protection power. This also makes the influence of "Jinyun Pavilion" on Tuoyun a lot greater now.

However, the Tuoyun Mountain market is still under the joint management of the three families. So far, "Jinyun Pavilion" has not put forward any ideas in this regard.

In addition to the matter of Zhang Rong's pill formation in Tuoyun Mountain, the Song family has also had several things that have had a great impact on the family in recent years.

The biggest thing was that half a year after Song Qingming and his friends left the family for the East China Sea, Song Xuanting and Huang Leqing both succeeded in building their foundations, adding two more foundation-building cultivators to the family.

As a cultivator with two spiritual roots, Song Xuanting's probability of successfully building his foundation was higher than that of ordinary people. Huang Leqing's foundation was not bad before he built his foundation, and he had Song Yuanfang, a foundation-building cultivator, to help him. Song Qingming was not too surprised that both of them succeeded in building their foundations.

After learning that Huang Leqing and Song Xuanting had successfully built their foundations, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were very happy. The next day, they summoned them separately in the cave on the top of the mountain and gave each of them a second-level magic weapon as a gift to compensate them.

After Huang Siyuan successfully formed a pill and returned to Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming did not want to be too low-key this time, and immediately decided to hold a pill-forming ceremony for her to celebrate this event.

However, Huang Siyuan herself thought it was too troublesome, and was anxious to retreat to refine her own life magic weapon, so she directly rejected the family's idea of ​​holding a big celebration for her.

Seeing this, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu did not insist too much, but just held a banquet for her in the family like Song Qingyu did last time, and did not send invitations to other cultivators outside.

However, although the Song family was very low-key and did not publicize the fact that Huang Siyuan had formed a pill, Xiaoyao Sect still learned about this news very quickly.

Song Qingming and his companions had only been back for more than ten days, and Xu Ziyan, the elder of the General Affairs Hall of Xiaoyao Sect, came to the door in person on behalf of the sect to present a gift to Huang Siyuan, who had just formed a pill.

Xu Ziyan came to Funiu Mountain for the same purpose as Zhao Menglian and Chu Fengping did last time, in order to bring Huang Siyuan into the sect as a guest elder.

Song Qingming did not want to hide this matter from the sect. After entertaining Xu Ziyan, he immediately followed her to Guyang Mountain and met with the head of the sect Yao Qianshu to discuss the matter.

Becoming a guest elder of Xiaoyao Sect, although there is nothing to do at ordinary times, you have to accept the sect's call at any time and place. If you encounter a war with other sects or the invasion of Tianhai League, you may be difficult to return for several years once you are called.

If Huang Siyuan is in the same situation as Song Qingyu, and has no other identity besides being in the Song family, Song Qingming will naturally agree to Huang Siyuan becoming a guest elder of the sect.

But Huang Siyuan had reached an agreement with the "Tiandan League" before this in order to successfully break through the Jindan realm and joined them as an outer sect elder. Given her situation, it is indeed difficult for her to take care of the position of the guest elder of Xiaoyao Sect at the same time.

Therefore, Song Qingming went to Xiaoyao Sect this time to explain the matter in person, so as to avoid any misunderstandings on the sect side.

After returning from the East China Sea last time, Song Qingming had actually revealed the matter of Huang Siyuan joining the "Tian Dan League" to Chu Fengping, Xu Ziyan and other elders who were familiar with him in the sect.

As the sect leader of Xiaoyao Sect, Yao Qianshu naturally knew about this matter a long time ago.

However, when Song Qingming mentioned this matter in person, wanting to use it to help Huang Siyuan shirk the position of the sect's guest elder, Yao Qianshu did not agree with Song Qingming's idea and insisted on letting Huang Siyuan join the sect.

In order to reassure Song Qingming about this matter, Yao Qianshu was also well prepared and directly stated that the sect did not mind Huang Siyuan continuing to serve as the outer elder of the "Tian Dan League". After she joined the sect, she could interact with the "Tian Dan League" normally.

Moreover, Yao Qianshu also promised Song Qingming in person that after Huang Siyuan became a guest elder of the sect, the sect would not easily recruit her to go out to perform tasks.

According to Yao Qianshu's idea, since Huang Siyuan is a second-level middle-grade alchemist, she can directly join the sect's alchemy pavilion after she becomes a guest elder of the sect.

On weekdays, as long as she comes to Guyang Mountain to help refine pills when the sect needs her, she does not need to go out to perform other sect tasks, and she can still receive the same sect merit salary as Song Qingming and others every year.

In this way, even if Huang Siyuan takes on the position of the outer elder of the "Tiandan League", after joining the sect, there will not be much impact on each other. It is nothing more than to devote more energy to alchemy.

For Huang Siyuan, who mainly practices alchemy skills, as long as it does not affect her daily practice, she can have more opportunities to make pills and improve her alchemy level, which is naturally not a bad thing.

The main reason why Yao Qianshu did this was that he saw that Huang Siyuan had joined the "Tiandan League" and would sooner or later be able to improve her alchemy skills to level three and become a high-level alchemist.

You should know that among the tens of thousands of cultivators in the Xiaoyao Sect, there are only a few alchemists above level three, and each of them is a very important talent in the sect.

Yao Qianshu did not want to let Huang Siyuan, the future level three alchemist, go, and he must pull her into the sect. This is also a result of his consideration for the future development of the sect as the head of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Xiaoyao Sect has always been protecting the high-level alchemists in the alchemy pavilion in the sect, such talents that will affect the development of the sect, and will never easily recruit them to go out and take risks to perform sect tasks.

At this point, Song Qingming naturally believed what Yao Qianshu said.

Seeing that Yao Qianshu had already exposed his cards and said so much, Song Qingming thought about it and did not refuse again. He immediately agreed to Yao Qianshu's consent to Huang Siyuan joining the sect.

The reason why Song Qingming had not dared to agree to this matter before was mainly because he was afraid that Xiaoyao Sect would not accept Huang Siyuan's identity as an outer sect elder of the "Tian Dan League", so he came to Guyang Mountain in person to explain this matter.

But now Yao Qianshu has expressed on behalf of the sect that he does not mind the relationship between Huang Siyuan and the "Tian Dan League" and will not arbitrarily recruit her to go out to perform sect tasks, which leaves Song Qingming with no other reason to refuse this matter.

After discussing this matter with Yao Qianshu, Song Qingming immediately returned to Funiu Mountain to discuss it with Huang Siyuan. Half a month later, he took her to Guyang Mountain and officially joined Xiaoyao Sect as a guest elder of the sect.

In just less than a hundred years, three people from the Song family have successfully formed a golden elixir and served as guest elders of the sect. This matter also caused a shock to other Jindan elders in Xiaoyao Sect.

Even Chu Fengping, Zhao Menglian, and Xu Ziyan, who have always been close to Song Qingming, all felt that there seemed to be something behind the Song family.

Li Wutong and Guangling Zhenren, who had always had a mediocre relationship with Song Qingming, went to the headmaster Yao Qianshu to ask, but they did not get any useful information and were soon sent back by Yao Qianshu.

After joining the sect and becoming a guest elder of Xiaoyao Sect, Huang Siyuan began to retreat and refine his own life magic weapon.

Song Qingming, who had been training in the East China Sea for several years, had almost reached the peak of the fourth level of the Golden Core. Now that he had returned to Funiu Mountain, he was free and began to retreat to try to break through his cultivation.

Because he still had a third-level middle-grade "Red Dragon Pill" in his hand, Song Qingming's breakthrough in cultivation was very smooth this time. In less than two years of retreat, he successfully broke through the bottleneck of the fourth level of the Golden Core and raised his own cultivation to the fifth level of the Golden Core.

Not long after Song Qingming broke through his cultivation, Huang Siyuan also successfully refined his life magic weapon "Purple Gold Seal" and walked out of his retreat cave.

After Huang Siyuan failed to form a golden elixir for the first time, she switched to the "Golden Abyss Art" left by Chen Jinliang.

Like the "Five Elements Mysterious Art" practiced by Song Qingming, this art also has a set of methods for refining the life magic weapon.

Song Qingming had already helped Huang Siyuan collect all the materials needed to refine the magic weapon before returning to "Tian Dan City", so she was able to refine her own life magic weapon so quickly.

The two of them came out of retreat, and each of them had a lot of gains in retreat, so they were naturally very happy, so they took Song Qingyu, who happened to be free, to the "Meeting Immortal Pavilion" on the top of the mountain to set up a banquet to celebrate.

Just as Song Qingming and the other two were happily tasting wine and chatting in the "Meeting Immortal Pavilion", a 15- or 16-year-old boy with a slightly immature face ran up in a hurry with a letter in his hand.

"Xuanfeng! Do you have something to ask me?" Seeing Song Xuanfeng standing not far away anxiously, Song Qingming, who still had a little smile on his face, hurriedly asked softly.

Song Xuanfeng immediately stepped forward and handed the letter in his hand to Song Qingming respectfully.

"Reporting to the third uncle, a letter just came from Yinfeng Ridge. It was the eighteenth uncle looking for you."

"What did Yuanli want to ask me? Didn't the letter say it?" Hearing that Song Yuanli sent a letter from Yinfeng Ridge to find him, Song Qingming's face also showed a little doubt. (End of this chapter)
