Chapter 656 Yuanying Family, Nanling Island (asking for monthly votes)
A year later, outside a medium-sized city in the southwest of Nanzhou, not far from the sea.
On this day, a white light suddenly flew from the sky and landed steadily outside Fangshi. After a moment, two figures appeared.
The two Qi Refining monks standing guard at the gate of Fangshi saw the two high-level monks coming and hurriedly sent a message inside. After a while, a foundation-building monk in his thirties came from Fangshi. walked out.
When the man in white saw someone walking towards the gate of Fangshi not far away, he quickly put on a smile and walked over quickly with a respectful look on his face, bowing to the two of them.
"Two seniors, junior Li Quansheng is so polite. I wonder why seniors come to our Liuyunfang for important business!"
A short middle-aged monk in the late Jindan stage who was walking in front glanced at Li Quansheng beside him and said calmly: "We are coming from Huanglong Mountain and are planning to visit Liuyun Mountain tomorrow. , please help me go to the mountain to report it first!"
After the short middle-aged monk finished speaking, he took out a letter in his hand and handed it to Li Quansheng in front of him.
"Senior! Please wait for a moment, I will report to the elder right away!" After taking the letter from the other party, Li Quansheng hurriedly ran towards the market.
As soon as Li Quansheng left, another handsome young man standing next to the short middle-aged monk said with an unhappy look:
"Uncle Six! I don't understand. The Li family member hasn't come back at all. Why are we going all the way in vain!"
"You guys are already here, why are you talking so much nonsense? Since we have made an appointment, how can we break the promise?
Do you think I am so willing to accompany you here? It's not because of my ancestor's orders that I have to come. I tell you that when you get to the Li family tomorrow, you have to be more honest with me and don't lose the family's face at every turn. "
Hearing what the young man said, the short middle-aged monk quickly scolded him and blocked all his words.
The two of them stood there and waited for less than a quarter of an hour when a ray of light suddenly flew out of the city and landed in front of them, transforming into a burly man in yellow clothes with a fierce look.
As soon as the big man in yellow saw the two of them, he quickly stepped forward with a smile and cupped his hands.
"My Excellency, Li Xuanfeng, has met two fellow Taoists from Huanglong Mountain!"
"Fellow Taoist Li, you are so polite. We are here to pay a special visit on the orders of our ancestors. I also ask fellow Taoist to inform you!"
Hearing this, Li Xuanfeng nodded with a smile and said, "This matter has already been explained on the mountain. You two, please come with me to Fang City to have a rest. I will send a message to the mountain to inform you of this matter."
"It's a big help to you, fellow Taoist!" After a few words at the door, a few people walked into the market together with smiles on their faces.
Five days later, on a hill dozens of miles away from this city, another ray of light flew and landed on the top of the mountain.
Standing on the flying boat, Li Xuanyi, dressed in black, looked at a tall mountain peak not far behind Fang City. A hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he turned to look at Song Qingming beside him.
"Fellow Taoist Song, the mountain in front of me is my spiritual mountain. Fellow Taoist, would you like to come with me to sit on the mountain, so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord and thank you for your kindness in escorting me all the way?"
When Song Qingming heard this, he smiled and waved his hands and said: "Fairy Li, you are too polite. You and I can be considered friends in times of need, so it seems a bit out of line to say such words of repayment.
My fellow Taoist has just returned home, and he must be eager to reunite with his family. I won’t come to disturb him first. I also want to travel around Nanzhou, and I will visit you when I pass by here another day. I hope Fairy Xuanyi won’t ask for it. It's fine if you don't bother me anymore! "
Seeing that Song Qingming didn't seem to want to go back with her, Li Xuanyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and said:
"Okay then! Fellow Daoist Song has time, please remember to come to Liuyun Mountain to see me. I will make you a pot of the best Shuiyun tea in our Li Family Mountain and cook some good dishes for you. Try it!”
The two of them traveled south from Qingzhou for nearly a year. Li Xuanyi, who had been getting along with him day and night, also had some understanding of Song Qingming's hobbies and habits, and immediately told him about his favorite delicacies and spiritual tea. .
Seeing this, Song Qingming also smiled and nodded and said, "Yes! So Song, I would like to thank Fairy Li for her kindness."
After making an appointment with Song Qingming, Li Xuanyi took out his flying boat with a wave of one hand, jumped on it, turned around and said goodbye to Song Qingming, and then turned into a blue light and flew towards Fangshi at the foot of the mountain.
After nearly a year of cultivation along the way, although Li Xuanyi's injuries have not yet healed, they are more than half healed and he can use his magic power at will.
Seeing that Li Xuanyi had successfully returned to his mountain gate, Song Qingming controlled the "Phantom Boat" to turn around and turn into a white light and fly to the horizon, leaving this place.
It took one year to escort Li Xuanyi back to Nanzhou. Although the journey was long, the two of them had a relatively smooth journey and did not encounter any dangers or difficulties.
Through contacts along the way, Song Qingming also gradually learned that Li Xuanyi's true identity was a monk from the Yuanying family, a well-known family in Nanzhou that had been passed down for thousands of years.
In the world of cultivating immortals, it is difficult for cultivating families to accept a large number of monks with foreign surnames because they are limited to their own bloodline. Therefore, their development speed is far behind those large cultivating sects.
Many monks from small families like Song Qingming cannot get much help from their families because their cultivation level is too high and they stay at home. In the end, for the sake of personal development, they will choose to join large-scale immortal cultivation sects outside.
In the world of immortal cultivation in the Fuyun Mountains where Song Qingming is located, due to the lack of cultivation resources, the average immortal cultivation family can only develop into the Golden Pill Immortal Clan at most, and it is difficult to go further.
A family like Li Xuanyi's Li family in Liuyun Mountain that could develop into a Nascent Soul cultivation family would probably not be able to exceed the number of two palms even in the "East Phoenix Kingdom" cultivation world.
Without exception, these top-level immortal cultivating families that can stand on equal footing with the Yuanying Sect are all veteran cultivating families that have been inherited for more than thousands of years. Their strength is far inferior to that of the Song family, a small family that has inherited the golden elixir for only a few hundred years. Can be compared with it.
After traveling to the "East Phoenix Kingdom" for so many years in the world of immortal cultivation, Song Qingming has always kept a distance from Nascent Soul forces like the Li family unless necessary.
Therefore, when Li Xuanyi took the initiative to invite Song Qingming to Liuyun Mountain as a guest, Song Qingming decisively rejected him.
After bidding farewell to Li Xuanyi, Song Qingming flew south for about two days and finally saw the vast sea and came to the edge of the "Sea of Falling Stars".
Unlike the "Lei Yuan Sea" on the east side of the Donghuang Xianzhou continent that Song Qingming had seen, the sea water on the "Luo Xing Sea" side was obviously darker and more turbid.
Song Qingming was flying close to the sea. Even though he had used a "sight-clearing technique" to strengthen his eyesight, it was still difficult to see clearly what was going on under the sea.
Although there are many monsters and spiritual resources in the "Luo Xing Sea", the side of the Immortal Cultivation World adjacent to the "East Phoenix Kingdom" is sparsely populated with very few monks. It is far inferior to the "East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World" that Song Qingming has seen. So prosperous.
The reason for this is also because when the real demon invaded the Huayang Realm 30,000 years ago, a lot of the real demon's energy was left in the "Luo Xing Sea", which caused many monsters in the nearby sea to be contaminated by the demon's energy and become very manic. A tide of beasts will be launched to attack coastal areas.
The human monk forces in the Nanzhou Immortal Realm have suffered heavy losses in several battles with monsters in the sea. In order to better defend their territory, they have basically abandoned the islands along the coast and retreated directly to the inland.
Although the situation has changed a lot in the past ten thousand years, the monsters in the "Falling Star Sea" will still take the initiative to attack the coastal areas every once in a while, putting a lot of pressure on the forces of the Immortal Cultivation Sect here in Nanzhou. .
Fortunately, the world of immortal cultivation in the "East Phoenix Kingdom", under the leadership of many large sects such as the "Xian Yuan Sect", is relatively united as a whole.
Every time a beast tide breaks out in the "Luo Xing Sea", other states will send monks to Nanzhou to support them. For tens of thousands of years, the monster beasts in the sea have not occupied the territory of the human monks and invaded the inland of the "East Phoenix Kingdom" cultivation world. .
Precisely because of the powerful monsters in the sea, few monks in Nanzhou dare to venture deep into the "Falling Star Sea" to hunt monsters and treasures. Therefore, the coastal areas are also very desolate. Song Qingming has flown thousands of miles, and still not even a town or city has been destroyed. Didn't see it.
After running for more than half an hour, no one showed up. Just when Song Qingming was about to give up and go further inland to find Fangshi to rest, several sounds suddenly came from a small island not far in front of him. The battle between monks and the roar of monsters.
Seeing that he finally saw the monk, Song Qingming immediately became happy and quickly flew over.
On a beach on the east side of the island, five monks in the Qi Refining Stage were working together to fight against two first-level top-grade monsters.
These people cooperated with each other tacitly, and it looked like they were old friends who had been training and working together for a long time.
"Boss Han, we have to separate these two guys, otherwise it will be difficult for us to get started if they keep getting together!"
After fighting these two monsters for a long time, they still couldn't take them down. One of the men in white, who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, shouted anxiously to the older eighth-level Qi Refining monk beside him.
This dark-skinned eighth-level Qi-refining monk named Han Tiefei was the one with the highest cultivation level among the monks present, and he was also the leader of this group of demon-hunting teams.
Seeing that everyone had been fighting these two monsters for a while, but still couldn't take them down, Han Tiefei looked a little ugly, gritted his teeth and shouted with a fierce look:
"Third brother, take out those heavenly fire thunders of yours and use them for labor and management. Blast them away and you will be credited later. I still don't believe it. They are so unafraid of pain!"
"Ah! Boss, I really need to use it. This thing is not easy to get, and it will be a bit of a loss to use it on them!"
On the side was another tall, thin man in the middle stage of Qi Refining who was holding a big sword. After hearing Han Tiefei's command, he asked again reluctantly, as if he cherished the "Sky Fire Thunder" on his body.
"It's been so long, and I'm still moaning and groaning. I can't bear to part with this spiritual thing. I'm afraid our efforts today will be in vain. Why don't we give you this spiritual stone to replenish it later!"
"Oh! Haha, then boss, please just invite me. Everyone, step aside and let me come!"
After receiving Han Tiefei's verbal promise, the tall and lanky man immediately felt relieved, took out a dark ball, cast a spell to inject spiritual power, and threw it directly at the two monsters in front of him.
Several other people on the side immediately pulled away when they saw this, and temporarily retreated to the side, staring closely at the movement of the monster's location.
The black ball had just flown in front of the monsters, and immediately exploded on the spot, raising a cloud of dust. Then several white lights fell from the sky and landed on the two monsters, emitting a dazzling aura.
After everyone heard a few screams, the two monsters not far away suddenly stopped moving.
"This! Is your Skyfire Thunder so powerful? It can kill these two top-grade monsters in an instant. No wonder you are reluctant to use it.
When I heard you say how powerful this thing is, I thought you were bragging. It turns out that you are really good at it. We really misjudged you. This time you are the first to do it. I will definitely give you more later."
After the smoke dissipated, looking at the two monsters that had already lost their breath in front of him, Han Tiefei's eyes widened instantly, and he patted his tall and thin companion who was also still in shock with a happy face.
"Uh! Haha, thank you very much, boss!"
The tall and thin man was also surprised. When he bought this spiritual object, the other party clearly said that the power was equivalent to a stronger top-grade spiritual talisman.
If the "Sky Fire Thunder" just thrown out can injure the two monsters, it must be possible, but if you want to kill two top-grade monsters with one blow, it may be possible to use a second-level spiritual talisman above the foundation building level.
"Could it be that the store that sold him this spiritual object was also blind and mistakenly sold a second-level spiritual object to me at a low price. If I had known this, I shouldn't have taken it out so easily."
When he thought that what he had just used might be a second-level spiritual object, the tall and thin man was very happy and regretful.
"My dear friends, I am passing by here. Can I ask you a few questions first?"
Just when Han Tiefei and the others were about to go forward to the two monster corpses on the ground, they didn't expect that there was another burst of laughter in front of them, and then a young man in green clothes with a smile appeared in front of them out of thin air.
Seeing the young man suddenly appearing in front of them, Han Tiefei and his companions were also surprised. They instinctively stepped back a few steps before reacting and hurriedly bowed to Song Qingming with a respectful face.
"Junior. Hello, senior. I wonder what you have to say. Please tell me what you want."
Being able to appear in front of them out of thin air means that Song Qingming's cultivation is at least a cultivator above the foundation-building stage. Facing such a strange senior with a high cultivation level, Han Tiefei and his companions also became nervous immediately, smiling on their faces for fear of offending him.
"Well! Where is the nearest market from here, and do you know where there is a treasure ship that can go to the open sea?" Song Qingming asked calmly with a smile on his face.
"Ah! Senior, are you going to the open sea?"
"I'm afraid you have to go to Nanling Island. It's about two thousand miles to the southeast. I've been there before. I heard that people on the island go to the open sea to collect spiritual objects every once in a while."
Hearing that Song Qingming was going to ask about the open sea, Han Tiefei and the others were slightly surprised, but they hurriedly answered the other party's question seriously.
The "Falling Star Sea" has a strong monster beast and a large number of high-level monster beasts in the sea. Even the coastal area where they are now is very dangerous, not to mention going to the more dangerous open sea.
Han Tiefei and the others have been hunting monsters in this area for so many years. They have heard more than once that the Golden Core Monster King appeared in this area. Few cultivators who met him could escape with their lives.
However, no matter how dangerous it is, as long as they can obtain those precious spiritual objects, they will always attract some brave cultivators who are willing to take risks for the spirit stones.
Han Tiefei and his companions took the risk to come here to hunt monsters, and they did the same thing, but their cultivation was too low at present, so they could only deal with low-level monsters near the sea.
"Nanling Island! Since you have been there, are you willing to lead the way for me?" Song Qingming said, and then took out dozens of spiritual stones from his body and placed them in front of Han Tiefei and his companions.
Seeing the sparkling spiritual stones in front of them, Han Tiefei and other casual cultivators who had been poor for many years suddenly had bright eyes.
"Yes, of course I am willing. It is a blessing for us to lead the way for you, senior. Please wait for a moment, senior. We will pack these and take you there immediately."
After Han Tiefei finished speaking, he glanced at the two monster corpses beside Song Qingming, and then quickly shifted his gaze to his face, fearing that what he had just said would make Song Qingming unhappy.
"Well! There's no rush for this, you can do whatever you want!"
Song Qingming smiled and waved his hand. After making way for them, he used his magic power to retract several green spiritual lights from the two monster corpses.
Seeing this scene, Han Tiefei and his companions realized that it was not the "Sky Fire Thunder" that had just killed the two top-grade monsters, but the hands of the senior cultivator Song Qingming.
After a while, Han Tiefei and his companions, who had cut up the monster corpses, boarded Song Qingming's flying boat, turned into a beam of light and left the island all the way to the southeast.
The "Nanling Island" that Han Tiefei just mentioned is an island controlled by a small number of human cultivators in the coastal area of Nanzhou.
"Nanling Island" is because the nearby sea area is covered by a special naturally formed thick fog all year round. This thick fog can confuse the monster's senses and make it difficult for it to distinguish the direction. Therefore, usually few high-level monsters can break into the surrounding area.
Even when the sea monsters launched a tide of beasts to attack the coastal areas, "Nanling Island" was rarely attacked on a large scale by the monsters.
Therefore, "Nanling Island" has become one of the few islands where the human cultivators of Nanzhou can establish themselves in the "Falling Star Sea" for a long time.
After flying for about an hour with Han Tiefei and others, some fog began to appear around the "Phantom Boat", covering the direction of Song Qingming and others.
Following Han Tiefei's guidance, Song Qingming traveled forward for about a hundred miles before finally passing through the thick fog and arriving at the edge of a larger island.
"Senior, this is Nanling Island. This island is currently managed by several sects, and most of the cultivators on the island are from independent cultivation. Senior, you can rest assured that you will not have any trouble even if you come to the island for the first time."
After seeing Song Qingming take the initiative to reduce the speed of the "Phantom Boat", Han Tiefei, who had guessed what he was going to ask next, hurriedly took the initiative to explain.
As Han Tie said, the management of the cultivators on "Nanling Island" was very loose. After Song Qingming casually reported a name, he just handed in a few spirit stones at the port and easily led Han Tiefei and others into the island.
"Nanling Island" is about the same size as the Linggui Island in the East China Sea that Song Qingming had visited that year. Most of the people on the island are low-level cultivators in the foundation building and Qi refining stages, and it is rare to see people with a cultivation level above the Golden Core stage.
After entering the island, with the help of Han Tiefei, Song Qingming soon came to a hall in the middle of the island.
"Senior Song, this is where the high-level demon hunters on the island form teams. If you want to go to the outer sea to hunt demons, you can go inside to ask first. We are not qualified to go in because of our low cultivation. We will wait for you outside."
"Well! You can do your own things. You don't have to wait for me here. You can keep these spirit stones. You have worked hard to come with me today!"
After listening to Han Tiefei's detailed introduction along the way, Song Qingming had a general understanding of Nanling Island. Now he didn't need them to follow him all the time, so he took out the spirit stones he promised them before and sent them away.
Seeing the spirit stones handed over by Song Qingming, Han Tiefei and the others smiled and thanked him respectfully for a while before leaving excitedly.
As casual cultivators, even if they risked their lives to hunt demons in the sea, if they were lucky, each person could only get a dozen spirit stones at most in a month.
Now they only spent half a day to help lead the way, and got so many spirit stones for free, how can they be happy.
In addition to the two high-quality monsters they hunted before, this time they were really lucky to go out to sea to hunt monsters, and they made a lot of spirit stones.
After waiting for Han Tiefei and the others, Song Qingming glanced at the black hall in front of him, and after slightly changing his appearance with that kind of magic, he walked in.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a Jindan cultivator coming. A yellow-clothed old man in the late foundation building stage who was standing in the hall and talking to someone hurried forward to greet him and took the initiative to bow to Song Qingming.
"Senior, I am Xue Jinling, the manager of Nanling Pavilion. May I ask if you want to go to sea when you come here?"
Song Qingming glanced at him and nodded calmly: "Yes, do you have any treasure ships going to the sea recently?"
"Senior, if you want to go to the sea, you have come to the right place. Please let me go to the second floor. If you need anything, just tell me directly. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
Xue Jinling immediately stretched out his hand to Song Qingming and made a gesture of invitation. (End of this chapter)
