Chapter 711 New Jindan monk, no regrets

Song Xuanqing is a second-level alchemist. The first and second-level pills he refines are just what the casual cultivators of "Tuoyun Mountain" need. The family is more assured that he is there.

Otherwise, "Tuoyun Mountain" is thousands of miles away. If there is any problem in the market, the family will be unable to handle it in time.

Among the more than ten foundation-building cultivators of the Song family, except for Song Yuanli who is still recovering from his injuries, only Song Xuanyu and Song Xuanling, who have just built their foundations, have not been assigned any tasks by the family.

After receiving the family's call to return to "Funiu Mountain" for discussion, everyone thought that Song Yuanfang had some important family affairs to discuss with them.

When Song Yuanfang said that he wanted to let some family cultivators go out for training, many elders of the Song family sitting in the "Conference Hall" showed some surprise on their faces.

Especially Song Yuanli and Song Yuanhao, who had wanted to go out for training for a long time, were a little puzzled and excited. As soon as Song Yuanfang finished speaking, they immediately stood up and asked to go out for training for a while.

In addition to Song Yuanli and Song Yuanhao, Song Changze, Liu Yuxin, and Song Yuanqian also stood up one after another and expressed their desire to go out for a look.

After Song Yuanxue established his foundation, he stayed in the clan all year round and rarely went out. He wanted to go out for a walk this time.

But because there was a spiritual fruit on the third-level "gilded fruit tree" in the family's spiritual medicine garden that was about to mature, Song Yuanxue was a little worried that the spiritual plant masters under the family would not take good care of it, so he decided to wait until the spiritual fruit was ripe and picked later before going out for travel.

There was another family elder, Song Xuanfeng, who took the initiative to apply for going out for travel, but was rejected on the spot by Song Yuanfang, who required him to practice to the middle stage of foundation building before going out for travel.

This was also a restriction that Song Yuanfang and Song Qingming had discussed at the beginning, and was made for the safety of the family cultivators.

The family foundation-building cultivators can go out for training for a maximum of ten years, and they must have a cultivation level of more than the middle stage of foundation-building, and the range cannot exceed the cultivation world of the Floating Cloud Mountains.

The Qi-refining cultivators can only go out for training for a maximum of five years, and their cultivation level must reach the late stage of Qi-refining, and the places they can travel to can only be within the territory of Weiguo.

"Xuanfeng, this is a rule that the ancestor and I have discussed and set, and it is useless for you to complain to me.

Either you practice well and break through to the middle stage of foundation-building as soon as possible, or you go to the top of the mountain to find the ancestor to explain this matter. As long as the seventh uncle agrees, I will definitely not stop you."

Seeing that Song Xuanfeng was still unwilling to give up and kept pestering him, Song Yuanfang was also stern and unmoved, and directly pushed the matter to the family ancestor on the top of the mountain.

When he heard that he was asked to find Song Qingming, a serious-looking Song Xuanfeng appeared in his mind, and he immediately calmed down and sat back in his chair with some disappointment.

Although Song Xuanfeng is a direct descendant of Song Qingming, in addition to supporting him over the years, he is also very strict in front of everyone. If he does something wrong, he will also reprimand him in front of everyone.

Knowing Song Qingming's character, he naturally dare not go to the top of the mountain to encounter this bad luck, otherwise he will inevitably be reprimanded again.

However, Song Xuanfeng's current cultivation has reached the third level of foundation building, and it is not too far from the middle stage of foundation building. As Song Yuanfang said, as long as he is willing to work hard to practice, he will sooner or later be allowed by the family to go out for training, so there is no need to rush.

Thinking of this, Song Xuanfeng's disappointed face gradually calmed down. He had made up his mind in his heart that he would intensify his training next and strive to break through his cultivation as soon as possible.

Song Yuanli and the other five decided to go out for training, and naturally they needed other people to take over their affairs.

Under Song Yuanfang's arrangement, Song Yuanxue took Song Xuanyu to "Chiyanfang" to take charge, while Song Xuanling followed Song Xuanting, who did not choose to go out for training, to "Shuangfeng Mountain".

Song Xuanqing and Song Xuanfeng returned to "Tuoyun Mountain" and "Yinfengling" respectively, and all the affairs of "Funiu Mountain" were taken care of by Song Yuanfang and Huang Leqing.

Although Song Changze and his friends left the family to travel, it would temporarily weaken the defense force of some families in "Chiyanfang" and "Shuangfeng Mountain", but this would not have much impact on the current Song family.

After all, Song Qingming, a late Jindan ancestor, was still in charge of "Funiu Mountain". Even if there was any danger, the Jindan cultivators only needed a quarter of an hour to reach these two places.

After arranging these things, in less than half a month, Song Yuanli and the other five went to the top of the mountain to bid farewell to Song Qingming, and then left the family and set off for the places they had thought of long ago.

Among them, Song Yuanli went all the way south, preparing to travel along the "Taiyue Lake" to the southern Wu Kingdom's Xiuxian Realm. Song Changze and Liu Yuxin and his wife planned to go directly west together, wanting to visit Qin, the largest Xiuxian Realm in the Fuyun Mountains.

Song Yuanqian chose to go to Shangyang State, southeast of Wei State. There are not only many ways there, but also adjacent to the Donghai Xiuxian Realm. Many rare spiritual objects can be seen, which is also a place that Song Yuanqian has always been interested in.

Song Yuanhao set his sights on Song State, west of "Taiyue Lake". He heard that there was a secret realm there that was about to be opened, and wanted to see if he could have a chance to find an opportunity in it.

Song Qingming did not interfere too much with the places that Song Yuanli and his friends chose to travel. He just reminded them a few words to be careful when they were outside and not to trust others easily, and remember to return as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Song Qingming specially gave each of them a second-grade high-grade spiritual talisman for self-defense.

After Song Yuanli and others left "Funiu Mountain", under the arrangement of Song Yuanfang, more than 20 late-stage Qi refining monks from the family who had not yet made breakthroughs in cultivation chose to travel with Song Yuanfang's permission.

Most of them went north to Fangshi near the Fuyun Mountains, and a small number of people went south to "Taiyue Lake".

After bidding farewell to Song Yuanli and the others, Song Qingming had not been practicing in seclusion for two months when a letter from "Guyang Mountain" made him walk out of the cave again.

Song Qingming, who had just come out of his cave, saw a letter held by Song Yuanfang not far away, and immediately asked softly:

"Yuanfang, has the news come back that it's Xinyu?"

After seeing Song Qingming's figure appear, Song Yuanfang hurriedly handed over the letter in his hand, and then replied with a calm face:

"Seventh uncle, more than ten days ago I heard someone say that a vision of heaven and earth suddenly appeared on Guyang Mountain and lasted for several days. It seemed that another monk from the sect had successfully formed an elixir.

After learning about this, the next day when I sent a letter to the Zongmen General Affairs Hall to discuss the settlement of Yinhuo Stone's goods this year, I asked my eighth uncle about the pill formation.

I didn't want to, but today I received a reply from the General Affairs Hall. They said in the letter that Uncle Eighth had been released from seclusion three months ago. This time, he failed to successfully form the elixir and was injured because of it. "

"Is the injury serious?"

After hearing Song Yuanfang's words, Song Qingming's face suddenly darkened, and after asking a question carefully, he opened the letter in his hand.

"The letter didn't mention this, but I guess Uncle Eighth may have been seriously injured. If it was nothing serious, they would have said it directly in the letter." Song Yuanfang said with a helpless expression.

After carefully scanning the letter in his hand, Song Qingming slowly put it away and said to Song Yuanfang beside him:

"Yuan Fang, I am going to Guyang Mountain to find out about this matter. If you are worried about something at home, just go directly to Siyuan. She has been practicing in seclusion in the cave recently."

After explaining a few words to Song Yuanfang, Song Qingming turned around and returned to his cave to tidy up before leaving "Funiu Mountain" and directly embarked on the flying boat towards the sect.

It has been three years since Song Xinyu went into seclusion to form elixirs. There has been no news from "Guyang Mountain". Song Qingming thought that Song Xinyu might have passed the first level of elixir formation and was not far away from it. I was secretly happy for him.

Although he didn't expect it to be this time, he suddenly heard the news that Song Xinyu had failed to form the pill. Song Qingming, who was standing on top of the "Phantom Boat", sighed helplessly in his heart.

Song Xinyu's current longevity is already almost 180 years old. This failure of pill formation will require a lot of time to recuperate. For him, the chance of forming pills again is very slim.

Although he had come along the way and knew that it was not easy for monks to form pills, Song Qingming was not too surprised when he heard the news that Song Xinyu failed to form pills, but it was still a bit regretful that he failed to form pills this time.

Song Xinyu has been a member of the Xiaoyao Sect for more than a hundred years. Although he is no longer in the family these years, he still cares about the family's affairs in his heart.

When the foundation was just established, the Song family was just a relatively ordinary foundation-building family and did not have much influence in the sect.

Whenever the family needed help from the sect, Song Xinyu would do his best to run errands and help find out information. Song Qingming had always had a good impression of his nephew.

At this moment, Song Qingming has always wanted to support Song Xinyu in forming pills. Unfortunately, after his cultivation reached the sixth level of foundation building, his path has not been smooth, which has delayed him a lot of time in forming pills.

It wasn't until she was over one hundred and seventy years old that Song Xinyu reached the peak of foundation building and began to retreat and form pills. It was several decades later than when Song Qingming and Song Qingyu formed pills for the first time.

If the injury this time is not serious and he can recover in a few years, Song Xinyu may still have hope of forming a pill again.

But if it was like Song Qingming's first failure in forming pills, which directly damaged the Dantian and meridians in his body, it would take at least ten years to recover.

In this way, after Song Xinyu recovers from his injuries, his life span has almost reached 200 years old. This is almost equivalent to missing the final deadline for forming pills, and Song Xinyu's future path will basically stop here.

After arriving at "Guyang Mountain" after a long journey, Song Qingming was about to go looking for Song Xinyu, but he didn't want to run into Fang Baixuan who happened to be passing by.

"Senior Brother Song, how come you have time to come to the sect today? Could it be that you are also here to congratulate Junior Sister Yun!"

Seeing Fang Baixuan take the initiative to come forward and talk to him, Song Qingming hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "Junior brother Fang, I heard a few days ago in Funiu Mountain that there was a vision of the world and the formation of pills appearing in the sect. Is it possible that the junior sister Yun you are talking about is this formation of pills?" person?"

"Listening to what Senior Brother Song said, it seems that he is not very clear about this matter. Senior Brother is right. Junior Sister Yun successfully formed the elixir half a month ago."

Seeing that Song Qingming still didn't know about the sect's new alchemy cultivator, Fang Baixuan took the initiative and slowly introduced the other person's identity to Song Qingming in detail.

This sect disciple who has just formed an elixir is named Yun Nichang.

This woman is not only a rare cultivator with extraordinary spiritual roots, but also a direct disciple of another Jindan elder Zhao Mengling. This time, she tried to form a pill for the first time, but she successfully broke through to the Jindan realm.

Yun Nishang just turned 100 this year, and she has successfully formed a pill and become a Jindan elder of the sect. She is also the fastest person to break through the Jindan in the "Xiaoyao Sect" in the past two hundred years after Bai Yuxian.

After learning Yun Nishang's name from Fang Baixuan, Song Qingming remembered that he had met this woman once before, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

When the Song family held a foundation-building celebration for Song Yuanhao, Yun Nishang followed her master Zhao Mengling to "Funiu Mountain" to participate in the celebration.

At that time, Song Qingming had just come out of the "Babel Tower" not long ago. In order to seek the method of hatching the "Ice and Fire Dragon" spirit beast egg in his hand, he also condescended to ask Yun Nishang, who was good at taming beasts, for advice.

When he met Yun Nishang that time, her cultivation had just reached the fifth level of foundation building. Apart from being proficient in beast taming skills, she did not leave much impression in Song Qingming's eyes.

Song Qingming did not expect that the green-clothed woman who stood behind Zhao Mengling at the time, whose cultivation and appearance were not too outstanding, would have such a good talent for cultivation and enter the Golden Core Realm so quickly.

"Junior Sister Yun is talented, and now she has successfully formed a pill and become one of our generation. It is estimated that it will not take long for her cultivation to surpass me, a senior brother who formed a pill earlier.

I just came out of retreat and heard about this. I was about to go to Yunmeng Peak to congratulate. Senior Brother Song happened to be here. If there is nothing urgent, why don't you go to Senior Sister Zhao with me?"

Hearing Fang Baixuan's invitation, Song Qingming thought about it and did not refuse. He followed him to the "Yunmeng Peak" where Zhao Mengling practiced, and gave Yun Nishang, who had just successfully formed a pill, a gift of his own.

Because he knew in advance that someone might have formed a pill in "Guyang Mountain", Song Qingming had already made preparations before coming, and did not lose his manners by going there temporarily to congratulate.

As Zhao Mengling's direct disciple, Yun Nishang was able to form a pill so quickly, naturally it was inseparable from the support of her master Zhao Mengling.

Seeing Song Qingming and the others come to "Yunmeng Peak" to congratulate, Zhao Mengling was also very happy in her heart. She had been in seclusion in recent years to heal her injuries, and she took the initiative to walk out of the cave and have a good chat with Song Qingming and the others.

After getting a third-level middle-grade "Recovery Pill" in Wu State last time, after several years of seclusion and healing, Zhao Mengling's injuries have recovered a lot, and her complexion has obviously changed a lot compared to before.

In addition to the great joy of her disciple's successful formation of a pill, Zhao Mengling's face has always been full of smiles, and in the eyes of others, she can no longer see anything unusual about her.

After staying at "Yunmeng Peak" for half a day, Song Qingming got up and said goodbye. Then he came to the nearby Lingshan Mountain where Song Xinyu's cave was located.

As soon as he arrived outside Song Xinyu's cave, a young woman in a white dress came out from inside. After seeing Song Qingming, she hurried forward and bowed.

"Linxi, meet the ancestor!"

After seven years, Song Linxi's face has not only matured a lot, but her cultivation has also risen from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining, which shows that she has lived up to her dual spiritual roots.

"Is Xinyu in there?" Song Qingming waved his hand at Song Linxi in front of him, and then asked softly.

Hearing this, Song Linxi immediately nodded and replied: "Master is still in retreat to recover from his injuries. Old Ancestor, please go in and sit for a while. I have asked my senior brothers to invite Master out."

Song Qingming nodded slightly and followed Song Linxi into the cave. After a while, Song Xinyu, who was still a little pale, slowly came to Song Qingming.

"Seventh Uncle! Why did you come here suddenly? Yuan Fang and the others didn't send a message in advance!"

As soon as they met, Song Xinyu immediately stepped forward to salute, with a somewhat nervous smile on his face. It was obviously a bit unexpected for Song Qingming to come.

"You said Yuan Fang didn't send a message, so why didn't you send a message to your family after you came out of retreat, and asked me to come here in person to confirm your situation." Song Xinyu had just finished speaking when Song Qingming put down the teacup in his hand and immediately asked calmly.

"I got injured during this retreat. I didn't tell my family in time because I was afraid you would worry. I thought I would tell you when I got better."

After hearing Song Xinyu's explanation in a relaxed tone, Song Qingming didn't speak. He stood up and put his hand on Song Xinyu's head, closed his eyes and used his spiritual sense to carefully explore his body.

Seeing this, Song Xinyu didn't dare to move. He just whispered to the apprentice beside him: "Linxi! I still have something to say to the ancestor. You guys can go out first if you have nothing to do!"

After Song Linxi and the others left for a long time, Song Qingming withdrew his spiritual sense and slowly opened his eyes.

"Your Dantian is not seriously injured. You should be able to recover after taking pills for one or two years. However, several meridians have been attacked by the vitality. Even if you take pills, it will be difficult to recover in a short period of time. You need time to recover slowly.

I brought a few pills here, which are useful for healing the meridians. Take them first. When your aunt goes to the East China Sea, ask her to help find pills that can help your injuries."

After saying that, Song Qingming took out a green jade bottle he had prepared and put it in Song Xinyu's hand.

Seeing the pills handed over by Song Qingming, Song Xinyu nodded awkwardly, and then squeezed a smile on his face.

"Uncle Qi, I know that my injury cannot be recovered so quickly. Don't worry, the most important thing for me is to spend more time recovering from my injuries. Nothing will happen!

Although this retreat failed, I have thought about many things clearly.

Over the years, I have been having trouble with my spiritual practice, and I have become a little too persistent in my spiritual practice. Unknowingly, I have followed the same path as my third uncle.

After cultivating all my life, it’s not enough to always think about immortality and attaining enlightenment. I have to think more about things other than cultivation. Fortunately, it’s not too late for me to wake up now!

Uncle Qi, don’t worry, I have already figured it out. The Jindan Road is indeed a bit difficult, and I may not be able to get there.

But I still have a lot of time in my life to do what I want to do, and I won't leave too many regrets like my third uncle. "

After hearing the words from Song Xinyu's mouth, a look of relief slowly appeared on Song Qingming's originally calm face.

"Xinyu, it's not easy for you to think of this. Our practice of immortality is something that goes against heaven. There is nothing wrong with either Third Brother or you. It's just that sometimes we are too persistent and it is easy to lose sight of the progress. direction.

You are right, whether it is foundation building or golden elixir, after hundreds of years of practice, one day it will return to dust. We can’t just practice practice in our life, we still need to think about other things.

However, you cannot give up on your own path easily. Although most of the people who can successfully become famous in the world of immortality are those with outstanding talents, there are also many people who are late bloomers.

Personal opportunities are unpredictable, and sometimes they may come later! "

Hearing this, Song Xinyu smiled and said, "Yes! Uncle Qi, I have written it down."

"Okay! I won't stay here any longer. If anything happens, remember to send a message home. Don't worry about other people's things all the time.

Uncle Qi has been practicing for more than two hundred years in his life, and he is not a person who has not experienced any storms. There are some things that I know in my heart even if you don't tell me. It's just that I know it sooner or later. "

This time Song Qingming mentioned this matter again, Song Xinyu did not appear embarrassed anymore, nodded with a smile, and then said again:

"Uncle Qi! Although I need to recuperate now, it's okay to go out for a walk. Tell Yuan Fang when you get back. If anything happens at home, just send me a message!"

"There's nothing big going on at home recently. You just need to rest and recuperate. Also, this girl Linxi is very talented. You have to teach her well. If you are not available, you can also ask Yuanrong and the others to help. Don't delay her. path.”

Seeing Song Qingming talking about Song Linxi outside, Song Xinyu immediately replied with a serious face: "Well! That kid from Linxi is indeed very talented and has been practicing hard. Not to mention forming pills and building foundations in the future, there will definitely be no problem.

Don’t worry, Uncle Qi, I will definitely teach her well and won’t let Linxi be worse than me in the future! "

"Yeah! With your words, I feel relieved."

Song Qingming nodded with a pleased expression, and gave Song Xinyu a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving his cave.

——

Just when Song Qingming had just set off to return to "Funiu Mountain", on a hill not far away from "Chiyanfang" in Qinghe County, two escaping lights suddenly flew from not far away, landed on the top of the mountain and turned into two silhouette.

These two people came riding the wind, with a faint golden light emitting from their bodies. They were obviously accomplished golden elixir cultivators. (End of chapter)
