Chapter 705: Power Change, Live Clearly (Subscribe)

Two days later, outside the Good Merit Pavilion of Guyang Mountain.

After receiving the letter sent by Xu Ziyan in the morning about leaving for Wu State, Song Qingming led Huang Siyuan and others to this place to meet Xu Ziyan and others, and boarded the large flying boat used by the sect to transport supplies.

This time to Wu State, the Good Merit Pavilion just needed to transport a batch of supplies to the "Seven Stars Square", so Xu Ziyan arranged for everyone to take the sect's large flying boat together.

Although traveling this way is slower than controlling the flying boat by themselves, it is safer, and it only wastes a few more days.

Not long after Song Qingming and his friends boarded the flying boat, Li Wutong, Chu Fengping, Zhao Mengling, and Fang Baixuan also arrived here one after another.

Seeing that Song Qingming's cultivation level broke through to the seventh level of the Golden Core so quickly, everyone's faces showed some surprise, and they all came forward to congratulate him.

Song Qingming had only been in the Jindan stage for over a hundred years, but he had broken through to the seventh level of the Jindan stage so quickly. In Xiaoyao Sect, only Bai Yuxian and Chen Xuanxin could do that.

Although the law enforcement elder Li Wutong had also reached the seventh level of the Jindan stage, it took him two hundred years to reach this level, which was still far behind Song Qingming.

Seeing that Song Qingming had already caught up with him in terms of cultivation, Li Wutong was also filled with emotion, and could not help but be somewhat shocked by Song Qingming's cultivation speed.

When he first met Song Qingming, the other party was just a young cultivator in the Qi Refining stage who stood in front of him and was trembling. In just less than two hundred years, Song Qingming had actually cultivated to the level of being on par with him.

Compared with Li Wutong's shock, Chu Fengping and Zhao Mengling had a little more envy on their faces.

The time they had both been in the Jindan stage for more than two hundred years, and they were considered to be old-fashioned Jindan cultivators who had been in the Jindan stage for many years in the "Xiaoyao Sect".

However, the two of them are still at the sixth level of the Golden Core, and have been stuck in the middle stage of the Golden Core and have not been able to make any further progress.

Now that they saw that Song Qingming had broken through to the seventh level of the Golden Core earlier than them, Chu Fengping and Zhao Mengling were very envious of Song Qingming's cultivation speed. After boarding the flying boat, they immediately took the initiative to come forward and exchanged with Song Qingming the experience of breaking through the late stage of the Golden Core.

Fang Baixuan, who formed the last Dan, although his current cultivation level is only the second level of the Golden Core, saw Song Qingming and the other two talking about breaking through the realm of cultivation, and took the initiative to come forward, humbly standing aside to listen to Song Qingming's explanation of his experience of breaking through the realm of cultivation.

Several people chatted on the flying boat for half an hour, and a beam of light suddenly flew over and landed under the flying boat. Not long after, a middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure came on the flying boat with a few gorgeously dressed women with a smile.

Seeing Zhang Tieyang walking in front, Song Qingming and others hurriedly stopped talking and turned their attention to him.

Zhang Tieyang, who had just arrived on the flying boat, saw that everyone was already there, and it seemed that he was the only one missing. He, who had always been smooth in his dealings, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to apologize to everyone:

"Sorry! Zhang was a step late, and I made everyone wait for a long time. I am really ashamed. I hope that all the senior brothers and sisters will not blame me!"

Zhao Mengling, who was standing in front, immediately waved her hand and said, "Haha! We are all brothers from the same sect, how can we care about such a small matter? Junior Brother Zhang, you are being polite."

After Zhang Tieyang greeted Song Qingming and others, he motioned the three women behind him to come forward and greet everyone one by one.

During Zhang Tieyang's active introduction, everyone realized that the young and beautiful women he brought were actually his Taoist companions who had been with him for many years, and they couldn't help but give him a meaningful look.

In the world of immortal cultivation, it is not strange for some high-ranking cultivators to marry a few low-ranking beautiful female cultivators. Zhang Tieyang was not the only one present. When he was working with Chu Fengping to refine pills, Song Qingming often went to his cave and saw several Taoist companions beside Chu Fengping.

However, it is not common for Zhang Tieyang to take so many wives and concubines with him when he goes on a long journey. It can be seen that he still likes his Taoist companions very much.

"Since everyone is here, I will send someone to inform Sister Xu that we should be able to set off immediately."

Seeing that Zhang Tieyang had arrived, Zhao Mengling turned around and sent a voice transmission to the disciples behind him. Soon someone went to inform Xu Ziyan who was counting the spiritual objects in the warehouse under the flying boat.

Not long after, at Xu Ziyan's command, the flying boat slowly rose from the ground to the sky, and then passed through the "Guyang Mountain" mountain protection formation and flew quickly to the southwest.

After the flying boat started to move, everyone did not stay outside for too long. After saying hello to each other, they quickly returned to the room that Xu Ziyan had arranged for everyone on the flying boat to rest.

It was the first time for Song Yuanhao and his companions to leave Weiguo. Looking at the fresh scenery outside the window, they were a little excited. They gathered together to discuss the new things they had heard about outside before.

After leaving Weiguo, the flying boat went south and soon entered the vast "Taiyue Lake".

"Taiyue Lake", located in the middle of the Xiuxian world of Fuyun Mountain Range, is also a dangerous place where monsters are rampant. There is also a cave built by the Yuanying Monster King in the depths of the lake. Few cultivators dare to approach there.

Whenever there is a turmoil of monsters and monsters, the monsters in "Taiyue Lake" will also attack nearby countries and sects under the drive of high-level monsters. Neighboring countries such as Wu and Pei are also deeply affected.

However, the number of monsters here is much less than that of the monster army heading south from the northern border. Generally, the turmoil will end completely after about a year.

When Song Qingming went to Wu State for the first time, he and Yao Qianshu and others went directly through the lake. Taking this route, they would definitely run into some monsters, and even the Golden Core Monster King was likely to be encountered, which was relatively dangerous.

However, this time, because the people of "Xiaoyao Sect" set out early, they were not in a hurry to travel. Xu Ziyan did not let the flying boat directly cross "Taiyue Lake", but chose to go along a safer route closer to the lakeshore.

The flying boat had just moved forward for a few days when Song Yuanfang, who had been guarding the door in turn, suddenly knocked on the door of Song Qingming's solitary practice. After going out to ask, he found out that it was Zhang Tieyang, who was acquainted with him, who came to visit on his own initiative.

Seeing this, Song Qingming hurriedly asked Song Yuanfang to arrange tea and personally went to the door to greet him.

Zhang Tieyang was originally a casual cultivator. After forming a pill, he had many Taoist companions and descendants. He had been homeless and had the idea of ​​finding a third-level spiritual mountain to create a cultivation family.

However, in the world of immortal cultivation, the spiritual veins above level three, located in the territory of the human race, are basically controlled by major sects and immortal cultivation families above the Jindan level without exception.

It is obviously not so easy for Zhang Tieyang to obtain a spiritual vein from them, but it takes at least hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones to cultivate a level three spiritual vein directly outside, which is difficult for him, a Jindan cultivator who came from a casual cultivation, to get.

Over the years, Zhang Tieyang has been searching for spiritual mountains everywhere in the vicinity to no avail. Finally, during the monster turmoil a few years ago, he got a rare opportunity. After agreeing to help deal with the monsters, he successfully joined the "Xiaoyao Sect" and became a guest elder of the sect.

Later, after the "Xiaoyao Sect" defeated the monster army and regained the lost land, Zhang Tieyang was ordered to go directly to the "Iron Immortal Castle" to help the Hu family guard this place together.

Therefore, soon Zhang Tieyang also brought his Taoist partner and relatives and descendants to Weiguo together, and completely took root in the "Iron Immortal Castle" to create a new immortal cultivation family here.

This was also the promise that "Xiaoyao Sect" had made to Zhang Tieyang in order to ask him to help deal with the army of monsters.

After Zhang Tieyang went to "Iron Immortal Castle", with the cooperation of the sect, he quickly began to repair the damaged Lingshan and Fangshi, reorganized the immortal families under his command, and soon took control of the entire "Iron Immortal Castle".

With him, a Jindan cultivator, in charge, the defense line of "Iron Immortal Castle" against monsters was immediately restored. Even the nearby "Tuoyun Mountain" took the initiative to get closer to Zhang Tieyang, and in the past few years, it has not sent letters to the Song family for help.

The Hu family, which originally controlled "Iron Immortal Castle", has only the foundation-building cultivators who can speak out since Hu Qingyun, the fake Dan ancestor, was seriously injured in "Guiyunfang" and closed his eyes to heal his injuries. Their prestige in "Iron Immortal Castle" has plummeted and can only stand aside.

Now, the people who are in charge of the affairs of "Iron Immortal Castle" have gradually become Zhang Tieyang, who has just moved in, and the Zhang family he just founded.

After Hu Qingyun successfully formed a golden elixir, the Hu family took control of the most important spiritual vein in the northwest of Weiguo, the "Iron Immortal Castle", for the sect. They were extremely prosperous for a while, even surpassing the Zhao family of Donglin County, which also had a fake elixir cultivator, and were faintly on par with the Qinghe Song family in the northeast.

Unexpectedly, the Hu family had only been in charge of the "Iron Immortal Castle" for a few decades. When the monster beasts came, the "Iron Immortal Castle" was conquered by the monster beast army. Not only did the family lose a large number of cultivators and mortals, but even the ancestor Hu Qingyun was seriously injured.

Even if Hu Qingyun's injuries healed in the future, they would face the suppression of Zhang Tieyang, a fourth-level golden elixir cultivator, in the "Iron Immortal Castle". The future of the Hu family would definitely not be the same as before, and they would inevitably begin to decline.

Fortunately, the power change in the "Iron Immortal Castle" this time was not too bloody. As long as the Hu family was willing to make concessions, Zhang Tieyang would not dare to embarrass them too much due to the influence of the sect.

Song Qingming just opened the door and found that not only Zhang Tieyang came, but also his three Taoist companions were standing outside the door. He was a little surprised and wondered if he came to see him for something.

"Haha! Senior Brother Song, I came to visit you when I had nothing to do. I wonder if you have time to bother us!" Zhang Tieyang, who always had a smile on his face, immediately bowed and saluted.

"What are you talking about, Junior Brother Zhang? You and I have known each other for many years and now we are brothers from the same sect. There is no need to be so unfamiliar. Come in and sit down first!" Seeing this, Song Qingming also hurriedly extended his hand to invite Zhang Tieyang and others into the house.

As soon as he sat down after entering the door, Zhang Tieyang immediately asked the three Taoist companions who followed him to come forward and greet Song Qingming one by one.

Although Zhang Tieyang himself looks ordinary, his Taoist companions are quite outstanding in appearance, and their cultivation has reached the foundation-building stage.

It was the first time for Song Qingming to visit the other party, and he was also the other party's Taoist partner. He was a little embarrassed and quickly took out a few second-level spiritual talismans from his body as a gift to the other party.

After several people drank tea and exchanged a few words in the hall, Zhang Tieyang looked around and suddenly asked: "Brother Song, why can't I see Sister Huang?"

"Siyuan is meditating and practicing in the inner room. Does Brother Zhang have anything to ask her?"

Hearing this, Zhang Tieyang smiled and nodded directly and said: "Last time the monsters were in turmoil, I was lucky enough to kill a monster king with Brother Jin. Afterwards, the sect rewarded me with a monster king's inner pill.

I came here to ask Sister Huang if she could use this thing to help me refine a furnace of pills, so as to improve my cultivation."

Seeing that Zhang Tieyang came to Huang Siyuan to help him make elixirs, Song Qingming was stunned for a moment and then immediately replied: "Junior Brother Zhang deserves these rewards for his efforts in killing the demon king for the sect.

But for this matter of alchemy, junior brother should go to Senior Brother Chu first. His alchemy skills have already exceeded the third-level mid-level, and he is more certain of success. Siyuan has just advanced to the third-level alchemy master, so he can't do it. I'm afraid that the demon pill in your hand will be wasted. "

"Haha! Junior Brother Song doesn't know something. During this monster turmoil, the sect has harvested a large amount of alchemy materials. Senior Brother Chu has been busy refining elixirs in recent years and has no time at all.

I have looked for him several times, but I have not been able to get an accurate answer. To be honest, I came to you to see Senior Sister Huang, who was introduced by Senior Brother Chu himself. After Zhang Tieyang finished speaking, he smiled awkwardly.

This time the demon beasts were in turmoil, and the "Xiaoyao Sect" killed more than a dozen demon kings. The sect's treasury was also filled with various high-level demon beast materials, which was indeed enough to keep the alchemist Chu Fengping busy for a while. .

Hearing Zhang Tieyang's explanation, Song Qingming immediately understood, nodded and said: "Oh! I see, since junior brother came to the door on his own initiative, I can't let your trip go in vain.

However, I don’t know the art of alchemy, so I have to ask Siyuan if I can help with this matter. Junior Brother Zhang, wait a moment, and I will ask them to invite her over immediately. "

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he immediately winked at Song Yuanfang who was standing aside and asked him to invite Huang Siyuan who was practicing in seclusion to come out.

"Haha! With Senior Brother Song's words, I feel relieved. I have collected all the other auxiliary materials for the alchemy this time, and I also have a copy of the elixir here. All I need is a third-level alchemist.

Speaking of which, Zhang is somewhat envious of Senior Brother Song. With Senior Sister Huang, a third-level alchemist, as his good wife, Funiu Mountain will definitely continue to prosper. In the future, Senior Brother Song and Senior Sister Huang may not be able to take care of him. "

"Junior Brother Zhang's words are wrong. Now that Junior Brother joins the sect to take charge of Iron Immortal Castle, he will get much more benefits than my barren land like Funiu Mountain, and he will definitely be able to accomplish something in the future."

"Alas! Brother Song doesn't know something. The Iron Immortal Castle was destroyed by cholera before and is already in ruins. Just to repair the markets and mines, I have put a lot of spiritual stones on it.

The sect is urging me every day to restore the operation of Iron Immortal Castle, and those people from the Hu family are deliberately not cooperating with me. Brother, I am now in a dilemma. "After Zhang Tieyang finished speaking, he sighed slightly.

Seeing this, Song Qingming smiled and waved his hands and said: "Haha! Junior brother has just entered Iron Immortal Castle not long ago, don't be so impatient, some things still need to be done slowly.

Junior Brother Zhang can successfully form elixirs, and he has so many good friends with him, and he lives such a carefree life, so why should he envy people like me who are ascetic cultivators. "

After hearing what Song Qingming said, Zhang Tieyang looked at the Taoist monks sitting next to him, nodded with a smile and said:

"Senior Brother Song is right. As a casual cultivator, my talents are naturally inferior to those of direct disciples from major sects. To be able to achieve what I have today is a life well spent.

Since ancient times, there have been a few people who have been able to walk the road to immortality. I am a stupid person, and I don’t want to waste my whole life on such a boring practice. It is better to be more relaxed and relaxed, so as not to regret it in the future. "

In the world of cultivating immortals, although most monks are devoted to Taoism, they will not be too greedy for external things such as wine, sex and wealth, so as not to shake their heart of cultivating Taoism.

However, there are also many high-level monks like Zhang Tieyang who, after gaining a certain status, begin to live a clear mind and like to marry wives and concubines to enjoy life.

Although Song Qingming himself was very determined in pursuing the Tao, he was not opposed to Zhang Tieyang's idea.

After all, the path of cultivation is too difficult. Let alone cultivating to the upper realm, even the Nascent Soul realm can block most of the Golden Core monks like them. After practicing for a lifetime, we can't just do it for the illusory immortality!

While the two were talking, Huang Siyuan, who had received the message from Song Yuanfang, had also arrived in the living room outside. Seeing her approaching, Zhang Tieyang, who was sitting on the chair, quickly got up and stepped forward to salute.

"I've met Senior Sister Huang!"

Upon seeing this, Huang Siyuan immediately returned the salute, and then said softly: "Yuan Fang just told me that I don't know what kind of elixir Junior Brother Zhang wants to refine. Can you give me the elixir recipe first?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tieyang felt a flash of light in his hand and an extra roll of bamboo slips appeared, and then sent it directly to Huang Siyuan's hands.

"This elixir was obtained when I was traveling in the Southern Tianhai League twenty years ago. I have also collected all the auxiliary elixirs needed to refine the elixir.

However, because I didn’t have a demon elixir in my hand before, I haven’t found anyone to try to refine this elixir. Senior Sister Huang, please see if you can open a furnace to refine this elixir. "

Huang Siyuan put the Foundation Establishment in her hand in front of her, and after carefully examining it with her spiritual sense, she nodded to Zhang Tieyang and said: "There is nothing wrong with this elixir recipe. As long as the elixir refining materials are ready, it should be 70 to 80% Grasp can be refined.

If Junior Brother Zhang is at ease, you can leave this elixir recipe here for me to study first, and then you can start refining the elixir after you return. "

"Oh! Thank you so much, Senior Sister Huang. If I can refine this pill into more than two pills, I'm willing to take one as a reward. I hope Senior Sister won't dislike it."

Zhang Tieyang was very happy to see Huang Siyuan agreed to help with the alchemy. He went forward to express his gratitude and then left with his companions.

In the next month or so of the flying boat, Song Qingming did not take the initiative to go out. Instead, Zhao Mengling and Chu Fengping, who wanted to ask him for advice, came to him several times and exchanged their cultivation experiences with Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan.

Although Chu Fengping's cultivation had just broken through to the sixth level of the Golden Core, it was not long ago, and he was still a long way from perfecting his cultivation and impacting the late Golden Core.

However, Chu Fengping's life span was only more than 300 years, which was quite sufficient. He was also a third-level middle-grade alchemist. He was considered the Golden Core elder who had no shortage of alchemy medicine. If nothing unexpected happened, it should not be difficult for him to break through to the late Golden Core.

But how long it would take for him to successfully break through, and whether his cultivation could further reach the bottleneck of condensing the Nascent Soul, this was a little hard to say.

Although Zhao Mengling has reached the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Core, her life span is over 400 years. She was injured in the monster riot a few years ago and has not recovered yet.

This time, Zhao Mengling went to Wu to participate in the "Star Conference". Like the head of the sect Yao Qianshu, the biggest purpose was to find high-level healing pills so that her injuries could recover faster and not delay her path too much.

Although both of them are at the sixth level of the Golden Core, theoretically they still have the hope of cultivating to the peak of the ninth level of the Golden Core to impact the Nascent Soul Realm.

But from the perspective of her personal path, Zhao Mengling is not as good as Chu Fengping, who has a lower cultivation level. Even if she is in the bottleneck of the late Golden Core, she may not have a chance to break through.

Song Qingming finally solved their doubts and let Chu Fengping and Zhao Mengling return with satisfaction. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tieyang also

One day, Song Qingming, who was meditating in the room, suddenly heard a voice flying in from the door. He quickly opened his eyes and ended his meditation and walked out.

"Seventh Uncle, Uncle Xu just sent someone to tell us that we have arrived in Wu."

After hearing Song Yuanhao's report, Song Qingming immediately walked to the window and took a look. Although he had not been to Wu for decades, Song Qingming still recognized the unique scenery outside.

"Since we have entered Wu, it should take at most one or two days for us to reach Qixingfang. You go and tell Yuan Fang and others to pack up and be ready to get off the boat at any time."

Although it took several days longer to come to Wu this time, it was very smooth along the way, and no monsters attacked us, which made everyone feel that their luck on this trip was really good.

One day later, the flying boat arrived outside the "Seven Stars Square" smoothly. After Xu Ziyan handed over the invitation issued by the "Star Gate", everyone quickly entered the market.

As before, everyone in Xiaoyao Sect first lived in the "Guyang Pavilion" arranged by the sect, waiting for the next "Star Conference" to start.

Although there is still more than half a month before the "Star Conference", the "Seven Stars Market" has already become lively.

After settling down, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan brought a few people from the Song family and quickly followed the crowd to the market to see if there were any spiritual objects they needed to buy. (End of this chapter)
