Chapter 693 Losses and gains, the end of the turmoil (asking for monthly tickets)

After repairing the "Tuoyun Mountain" mountain protection formation, Song Qingming and Chen Xuanxin stayed to help for another half a month. Seeing that the situation on the mountain gradually stabilized, they said goodbye to Zhang Rong and returned to "Guiyunfang". ".

Since the "Black Dragon Demon Emperor" was defeated and returned to Jinyu Mountain, although there are still small groups of monsters going south to harass Fang City from time to time, the entire northern part of the Wei Kingdom has gradually stabilized, and the "Xiaoyao Sect" has gradually begun to devote its efforts to clean up the territory. The remaining monster power restores vitality to the entire north.

Not long after Song Qingming returned to "Guiyunfang", Xu Ziyan, who was in charge of the sect's general affairs hall, took the initiative to come to the door. He saw that the other party handed him a merit book full of deaths and meritorious achievements, and Song Qingming's face He also showed some confusion.

Although the "Xiaoyao Sect" has temporarily repelled the monster army and regained the northern territory, the monster turmoil in the entire Fuyun Mountains usually lasts for two or three years. Less than a year has passed now, and it is far from the time to distribute When meritorious service is rewarded.

Seeing the doubtful look on Song Qingming's face, Xu Ziyan hurriedly explained: "Senior Brother Song, it stands to reason that it is not yet time to discuss merit and receive rewards, but I am here on the order of Senior Sister Bai this time.

Since the monster turmoil, the sect has suffered a lot of losses. Master Li and Senior Sister Bai discussed it and decided to take out some spiritual objects from the sect's treasury in advance to reward and support the disciples and subordinates who have made meritorious service to the sect. Cultivation family.

This list was sent by Qingyu not long ago. She insisted on waiting for you to read it before reporting it. You just came back today. If there are no problems on your side, I will hand it over to Shanggong Pavilion directly. "

After hearing Xu Ziyan's explanation, Song Qingming nodded hurriedly and said: "So that's it. Nowadays, all the northern parts of the sect are in ruins, and it's hard for Uncle Li and Senior Sister Bai to have good intentions.

You also know that I have spent most of my time in Guiyunfang in the past six months, and I am not as clear as Qingyu and others about the matters in Jinshanfang. Since this list was confirmed by her, there will naturally be no big problem. Just report it like this! "

Seeing the merit book, which was full of names and numbers of the monks who died in fighting against the monster beasts, Song Qingming's eyes also showed a trace of sadness and helplessness, and he quickly handed it back to Xu Ziyan.

"In this case, I need to hand over this thing quickly and not stay here to disturb Senior Brother Song!" After receiving Song Qingming's confirmation, Xu Ziyan immediately put away the merit book, stood up and said goodbye and left the cave.

Although less than a year has passed since the monster turmoil, the losses suffered by the entire Wei Kingdom have far exceeded those before. Naturally, it is most necessary to appease people's hearts at this time. The "Xiaoyao Sect" decided to discuss the merits of its disciples and the cultivating families in advance. Reward, this move is naturally very wise.

The Song family has experienced several "Jinshanfang" battles, and many monks have been sent to support "Guiyunfang". Many monks were killed and injured in this monster turmoil, and even the family's foundation-building monks were killed. Some died on the battlefield, and the losses were also huge.

Although under the leadership of the Song family, many immortal cultivating families in the northeast of the Wei Kingdom guarded the most important line of defense, "Jinshanfang", they did not allow the army of monsters to invade the territory of the human monks, and avoided the "Iron Immortal Castle" in the northwest of the Wei Kingdom. , "Tuo Yun Mountain" and others were severely damaged by monsters.

But in order to protect "Jinshanfang" against the unrest of monsters, the major cultivating families in the northeastern part of the Wei Kingdom also paid a huge price.

Just the many cultivating families in Pingyang and Qinghe counties under the Song family lost thousands of monks in this year. This number of casualties has exceeded the total of the previous two monster turmoils that Song Qingming experienced.

Even the Song family, which won the "Jinshanfang" battle and defended its territory, suffered so many casualties, not to mention other positions in the northern part of the Wei Kingdom.

This time the demon beasts were in turmoil. Although the "Xiaoyao Sect" defeated the demon beast army and regained the lost territory in less than a year, the price paid was also extremely heavy.

Not only did they lose a large number of low-level monks and mortals, but even the sect's Jindan elders also suffered considerable losses.

Guangling Zhenren, the oldest Jindan elder in the sect, died on the spot in order to stop the "Red Cloud Demon King" from destroying the Fangshi formation. Zhao Mengling and Hu Qingyun were also seriously injured in the battle with the opponent's demon king.

Before the war ended, the two of them had withdrawn from the battle and retreated to heal their injuries. Now it was almost equivalent to losing their combat effectiveness, and it would take at least ten years to recover.

Other elders of the sect, including Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, were more or less injured. After repelling the monster army in the battle of "Guiyunfang", the elders of Jindan in the "Xiaoyao Sect" were still intact. Only the luckier Song Qingyu, Xu Ziyan and Chen Xuanxin were left.

When Song Qingming was fighting against the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor", his natal magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" was broken by the Demon Emperor's blow, and he suffered a backlash on the spot and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Although this kind of injury is not very serious compared to Zhao Mengling and others, and it does not affect Song Qingming's combat effectiveness too much, the damage to his natal magic weapon also caused the golden elixir in his body to suffer backlash and a crack appeared, and he needed to recuperate for about half a year. Only then can you fully recover and return to your original state.

However, during this time of monster turmoil, although the "Xiaoyao Sect" suffered huge losses, it also gained a large amount of monster resources.

It was precisely because of the rich trophies in the treasury that Li Mufeng and Bai Yuxian had the confidence to take out part of the supplies in advance to reward the many disciples and cultivating families below them.

Not counting the numerous low-level monsters, the "Xiaoyao Sect" killed fourteen monster kings above the Jindan stage, which was a record that the sect had never had before.

Among these dozen monster kings, four fell in "Jinshanfang". Among them, the Nine-Pattern Dragon, who led the monster army to attack "Jinshanfang" at the earliest, was killed by Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, and the "Blue Wing Monster King" who came to contain them later died at the hands of Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu.

There were also two monster kings from "Chiyun Mountain", who were killed outside "Jinshanfang" by Li Xuanyi, who dared to come to support, together with Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu.

In addition to these four monster kings, nine of the remaining ten monster kings died in the most tragic battle of "Guiyunfang", and only one died under Chen Xuanxin's sword when "Tuoyun Mountain" was recaptured later.

Because not all of these dozen demon kings were killed by the "Xiaoyao Sect" cultivators, and some of them died at the hands of Li Xuanyi and other cultivators who came to support the "Xiaoyao Sect", so the "Xiaoyao Sect" did not get all the materials from these demon kings, but still divided a part of them to them according to the rules.

As for the demon kings that died in the "Jinshanfang", they were all killed by the Song family and Li Xuanyi alone, Bai Yuxian did not intervene in the distribution and directly handed them all over to the Song family as last time. The materials from the remaining demon kings were rewarded to the many Jindan elders who participated in the battle at that time according to their merits.

This time, the Song family relied on the good performance of the three Jindan ancestors, including Song Qingming, on the battlefield to obtain the complete materials from the three demon kings, which really aroused the envy of other elders in the sect.

In addition to rewarding these high-level demon beast materials, all the first and second-level low-level demon beast materials captured on the battlefield, the "Xiaoyao Sect" Good Merit Pavilion is also directly open to the disciples of the sect and the immortal families under its command who have established their foundation or above.

As long as they have made great contributions on the battlefield and received merit rewards from the sect, they can go directly to the Good Merit Pavilion in Guyang Mountain and use their merits to exchange for these monster materials.

Not only that, in order to help the sect and its immortal cultivation families recover their strength as soon as possible, Xiaoyao Sect also took out some elixirs that can improve their cultivation realm, including "Foundation Building Pills" and "Barrier Breaking Pills", and placed them in the Good Merit Pavilion for them to exchange by themselves.

These relatively precious high-level elixirs are all important materials that the "Xiaoyao Sect" has stockpiled in advance and prepared for rewarding merits after the war. This time, in order to appease people's hearts, Li Mufeng and his team also decisively took out these spiritual objects in advance.

Anyway, the sect has seized many monster materials this time, and the value has far exceeded these spiritual objects. The "Xiaoyao Sect" does not need to feel distressed. As long as it sends a flying boat to transport these monster materials to other countries in need after a period of time, it will soon be exchanged for spiritual stones to purchase these elixirs and spiritual objects, which will not have much impact on the sect.

After learning this shocking news, all the immortal cultivation families in Weiguo and the disciples in the sect who were eager to break through their cultivation immediately took action and began to collect merits to exchange the required spiritual objects in the sect's Good Merit Pavilion.

After staying in "Guiyunfang" for a few more days, seeing that there was nothing going on in the sect, Song Qingming greeted the head of the sect, Bai Yuxian, and then packed up his things and took Huang Siyuan and Li Xuanyi directly back to "Funiu Mountain".

Before Song Qingming came back, Song Qingyu had already withdrawn to "Jinshanfang" with many cultivators under the command of the Song family. Because the monster turmoil had not yet ended, wars could break out at any time. At this time, a large number of cultivators must be stationed on the northern front, so Song Qingyu stayed in "Jinshanfang" directly.

Huang Siyuan's injuries had not yet fully recovered, so she immediately began to retreat and heal her injuries after returning.

Song Qingming promised to help Li Xuanyi comprehend the skills, so after returning to "Funiu Mountain" to arrange family affairs, he also began to comprehend the "Taixu Sword Art" in seclusion.

This seclusion lasted for nearly half a year before Song Qingming came out of the seclusion cave.

Although it took a lot of time, hard work paid off. After a serious study, Song Qingming successfully found the problem when Li Xuanyi practiced the skills and helped him solve this difficult problem in practice.

After coming out of seclusion, Song Qingming was about to give the recorded experience of comprehension to Li Xuanyi, but he didn't see anyone in her cave. After calling Song Yuanfang to ask, he learned that this little sister was a little bored staying in the mountain, so she went to "Jinshanfang" to find Song Qingyu.

After sending a letter to Song Qingyu who was far away in "Jinshanfang", about an hour later, a green escape light flew from the north and landed outside "Funiu Mountain".

Li Xuanyi, who had just rushed back from "Jinshanfang", came to the "Huixian Pavilion" on the top of the mountain with an anxious look on his face. He smelled a fragrant tea fragrance from afar and soon found Song Qingming on the third floor who was drinking tea with Huang Siyuan.

"Haha! I didn't expect that fellow Daoist Siyuan would also come out of retreat today. It seems that I really came at the wrong time and disturbed you two!"

Huang Siyuan was injured in the battle with the demon king in "Guiyunfang". At that time, her opponent was a demon king whose cultivation was close to the peak of the middle stage of Jindan. This demon not only had a much higher cultivation than Huang Siyuan, but also cultivated a magical power that was somewhat restrained by Huang Siyuan's skills.

Facing such a powerful demon king, although Song Qingming was taking care of her, Huang Siyuan, who lacked experience in fighting, still suffered a lot in the battle and was injured in the meridians in her body by the opponent.

Fortunately, Huang Siyuan's injury was not very serious. After half a year of retreat, her injuries have fully recovered and she is almost healed. After receiving the news that Song Qingming came out of retreat, Huang Siyuan simply ended the retreat. Walked out of the cave.

Seeing Li Xuanyi coming forward, Huang Siyuan immediately stood up and poured her a cup of spiritual tea. She shook her head with a smile and said, "Senior Sister Li, don't say it's a joke. I'm here just to make tea. I have no intention." Other things.

I promised to entertain you, this distinguished guest, but I didn’t bother to come back to retreat for healing. You guys talk first, and I’ll prepare some special dishes for you later. "

"Oh! With such a good taste, I didn't come here in vain." Hearing that Huang Siyuan was going to cook to entertain him, Li Xuanyi, who had long wanted to try the delicious spiritual food she cooked, suddenly showed something on his face. A look of anticipation.

After seeing Huang Siyuan leave, Li Xuanyi went directly to Song Qingming and sat down, taking a sip of the spiritual tea on the table.

"The spiritual tea brewed by fellow Taoist Siyuan has a refreshing fragrance and a creamy texture. Her control over the heat is really unique. Junior Brother Song, you are really lucky to find her as a fellow Taoist. Even I am a little envious now." "

"There are so many monks in the world of immortality. It is not difficult to find one or two people who are good at making tea. Senior Sister Li will always meet them in the future, so there is no need to envy me."

"So what if I meet you? I'm not as comfortable as you. As an ancestor of a family, I can do whatever I want. Although the world of immortal cultivation is large, we and other family monks always have worries that are difficult to let go. Sometimes they are really not as good as those The joy of being a casual cultivator."

When he said this, Li Xuanyi's originally very happy face suddenly showed a hint of worry, and he didn't know what unhappy things he thought of in his heart.

Seeing something wrong with Li Xuanyi's face, Song Qingming, who was confused about the situation, didn't dare to ask any more questions. He quickly took out a roll of bamboo slips that had been prepared and put it on the table to divert Li Xuanyi's attention.

"Senior Sister Li, this is what I learned from the Taixu Sword Jue. It should be able to help you solve the bottleneck in your practice. You can try it first. If it doesn't work, I will help you find out the reason."

"Haha! Junior Brother Song, you really did not disappoint me. If it is useful, you have helped me a lot. Senior sister, I have to thank you properly."

After picking up the bamboo slips on the table and inspecting them, Li Xuanyi immediately forgot about his previous worries. His face suddenly changed and returned to his previous joyful look. He smiled and bowed his hands to Song Qingming and put the bamboo slips in his hands into the storage instrument. .

"Senior sister has helped me save my life. These are the things I should do within my power. I must not say any more words of thanks. On the contrary, I will alienate my junior brother."

Li Xuanyi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, junior brother, I will not meet you outside. If you encounter problems with the skills in the future, I'm afraid I will inevitably come to disturb you. Don't dislike me as a senior sister then." That’s the trouble.”

"Haha! My place is just a small temple in the mountains. Senior Sister Li can come here as often as she likes. As for the issues regarding the techniques, I will try my best. However, the master's Taixu Sword Technique has many mysteries. Senior Sister will do it in the future. I still need to consult with him more, and don’t delay my cultivation because of me.”

Hearing Li Xuanyi say that he would ask him for advice on martial arts in the future, Song Qingming also felt helpless on his face. The "Taixu Sword Art" practiced by Li Xuanyi was created by his master, Taoist Lingxu, the top god-transformation monk in the world of immortality. No ordinary skill can compare with it.

Previously, Song Qingming helped Li Xuanyi understand a bottleneck in the "Taixu Sword Art", and it took him half a year to finally succeed. If Li Xuanyi really came to Song Qingming if he had any problems in the future, he really had no choice. Deal with it.

Fortunately, Li Xuanyi had to go back after all his travels, and he would definitely not come to Funiu Mountain to find him often. Song Qingming was not too worried about this.

In addition to the problems with the skills, Li Xuanyi is naturally welcome to come to Funiu Mountain as a guest at any time. After all, regardless of the friendship between the same disciples, she is now considered a noble person of the Song family and even the "Xiaoyao Sect". As long as there is a way to help her Song Qingming would definitely not refuse anything he could do.

After the two chatted for a while in the "Huixian Pavilion", Huang Siyuan came up with some fragrant spiritual food.

As soon as he smelled the fragrance of the spiritual food that Huang Siyuan put on the table next to him, Li Xuanyi's attention was immediately attracted. Before Song Qingming could invite her, Li Xuanyi had already stood up and came to the dining table with a happy expression. He glanced at the spiritual food on the table.

Although Huang Siyuan has been busy refining alchemy these years, he has not neglected his spiritual food skills too much. Song Qingming is a glutton. He has tasted a lot of delicious spiritual food during his travels in recent years, but he can compare with Huang Siyuan's cooking skills. It is indeed rare to encounter a restaurant.

In order to entertain the "distinguished guest" Li Xuanyi this time, Huang Siyuan also put a lot of thought into preparations. Not only did she personally go to "Chiyanfang" to select the best materials for making spiritual food, she also asked him to send a letter to " The Huang family of Taiyuan Mountain asked them to send someone to deliver the best quality fresh spiritual fish, and then they prepared such a delicious banquet for Li Xuanyi.

It has been almost two years since he returned from the "Eastern Phoenix Kingdom Cultivation World". As soon as he came back, he encountered an early outbreak of monster turmoil. Song Qingming has been busy with various affairs in the past two years and has not had the chance to calm down. Come and have a banquet.

This time, Song Qingming completely let go of everything in his mind and had a good drink with Li Xuanyi and Huang Siyuan.

Not long after the three of them started the feast, Song Qingyu, who had already heard the news, came back a little later after explaining the affairs at hand. The few of them drank and chatted in the "Meeting Immortal Pavilion" while exchanging their cultivation experiences. They chatted from the afternoon until late at night before returning to their caves.

After obtaining the comprehended skills from Song Qingming, Li Xuanyi simply stayed in "Funiu Mountain" and began to retreat to try to break through the bottleneck. Song Qingming went to "Jinshanfang" to replace Song Qingyu, so that she and Huang Siyuan could stay in the mountain to practice with peace of mind.

It has been almost two years since the monster turmoil. Like most countries around the Floating Cloud Mountains, the turmoil facing Weiguo is almost coming to an end.

During the six months that Song Qingming was in seclusion, only a small group of low-level monsters from the Fuyun Mountains in the north of the Song family territory went south to harass the "Golden Mountain Square", and no large-scale monster army driven by the Golden Core Monster King appeared.

In the "Yunwu Mountain" in the east, groups of monster armies would appear from time to time, but they were also low-level monsters with weak strength.

Although these monsters were numerous and would pose some threats to Qinghe and Pingyang counties, they could hardly cause much damage in the face of the strong defense of the human cultivators. In most cases, they were beaten back to the mountains by the cultivator army that came to support them shortly after invading the human territory.

In this way, nearly half a year passed, and the Fuyun Mountain Monster Army, which had been attacking the human territory for more than two years, finally began to retreat in an all-round way. Except for some places that had been occupied by the monster army during the turmoil, the entire Fuyun Mountain Xiuxian world in the north gradually settled down.

This monster turmoil, which has lasted for more than two years and caused huge losses to the cultivation world of Fuyun Mountain, has finally ended.

After receiving the news from the sect confirming the end of the monster turmoil, Song Qingming, who had been in "Jinshanfang" for half a year, was relieved. He hurriedly issued a disbanding order to the army of cultivators gathered in the market, and led the Song family cultivators guarding the market to withdraw to "Funiu Mountain".

For more than two years of monster turmoil, in order to defend the family territory and resist the invasion of monsters, the Song family also died on the battlefield. Nearly a hundred cultivators.

Previously, because the monster turmoil had not ended, the family had put all their energy on dealing with it, and there was no way to give them a grand funeral. They could only collect and cremate the remains of these fallen family cultivators and bring them back to "Funiu Mountain" and place them in the family ancestral hall.

Now that the turmoil is over, it is time to hold a decent funeral for these cultivators who sacrificed for the family.

Under the personal arrangement of the clan leader Song Qingming, flags were soon flying all over the "Funiu Mountain" and white banners were hung everywhere. All the fallen monks were treated equally and buried in the family's back mountain cemetery according to the highest family etiquette.

As for the relatives and descendants of these fallen family monks, Song Qingming also instructed Song Yuanfang, who was in charge of the family's secular affairs, to comfort and take good care of them. (End of this chapter)
