Chapter 741: Be prepared for danger in times of peace, break through the eighth level of the golden
Because activating the mountain-protecting formation at full power will consume a large amount of spiritual energy in the spiritual veins, causing the monks on the mountain to be unable to have sufficient spiritual energy to practice, so usually only a small part of the mountain-protecting formation in the family spiritual land is activated.
Only when there is a strong enemy attack, or something big happens within the family, will they activate the mountain protection formation with all their strength.
Seeing the "Funiu Mountain" formation at full strength, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, who had not heard from their families for more than a month, couldn't help but worry about some changes in their families, and they immediately accelerated the speed of the flying boat under their feet.
Before arriving at the mountain-protecting formation, Song Qingming took out his family token and passed directly through the formation from above into the Lingshan Mountain.
As soon as the two people passed through the formation, the movement caused immediately alerted the monks on the mountain. Soon, two sword lights flew into the air and came directly in front of Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan.
"Seventh Uncle, you are back!"
"I've met my ancestor!"
Song Yuanhao and Song Xuanfeng, who came in a hurry, discovered that the two ancestors, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, had just passed through the mountain protection formation, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed their hands.
After glancing around and finding nothing unusual, Song Qingming nodded slightly to the two of them and asked, "When did you two come back? Did something happen on the mountain? Why did you activate the mountain protection formation like this?"
Faced with Song Qingming's inquiry, Song Yuanhao hurriedly replied: "When Xuande was building the foundation these past two days, in order to prevent any accidents on the mountain at this time, Brother Sixteen activated the mountain protection formation and asked us to come back first to help guard the mountain gate. ”
"Oh! Xuande is already attacking the foundation-building realm. I'm going to check on the situation. You go ahead and get busy!"
Hearing that Song Xuande, who had been in seclusion half a year ago, was already approaching the realm of foundation building, Song Qingming finally understood why his family suddenly activated the mountain protection formation for the meeting, and he immediately turned from worry to joy and nodded.
After giving instructions to Song Yuanhao, Song Qingming took Huang Siyuan to the outside of the cave where Song Xuande retreated, and met Song Yuanfang who was guarding the door in person.
"Seventh uncle!"
Seeing the return of Song Qingming and his two friends who had been away from home for a long time, Song Yuanfang's face immediately showed a look of joy, and he hurriedly stepped forward to bow to the two of them with a happy look on his face.
After Song Qingming waved his hand slightly, he looked at the cave where Song Xuande was retreating. After a while, he said with a look of relief:
"Xuande has successfully passed the physical training stage. It seems that his aura is quite stable. There should be no problems next. I estimate that there is a 70% to 80% certainty that he will succeed this time."
"If that's the case, that's great!" After hearing the words from Song Qingming's mouth, Song Yuanfang, who was standing aside, looked happy and immediately put down the worries in his heart for the past few days.
Since getting Song Qingming's consent to fully support Song Xuande in building the foundation, Song Yuanfang has done its best for this junior in the past two years and spent a lot of energy preparing for him to build the foundation.
Knowing that Song Xuande's foundation building was promising this time, Song Yuanfang was also very happy. In any case, his hard work over the past few years was not in vain, and he was worthy of the patriarch Song Qingming's entrustment.
"Yuan Fang, did anything happen to the family after we left? How is the situation on the front line of Baishi Ridge? Is there any movement from the demon clan?"
After hearing this, Song Yuanfang immediately replied with a serious look on his face: "Reporting to Uncle Seventh, nothing major happened in Qinghe and Pingyang for more than a month.
However, after you left, Baishi Ridge was quickly attacked by an army of monsters. Fortunately, the Giant Elephant Demon King did not come this time. My aunt relied on the mountain protection formation to repel the monster army in a short time.
And there is. "
"There's no one else here. If you have anything else to say, just say it. Don't worry about anything." Seeing that the remaining words in Song Yuanfang's mouth were a bit uncomfortable to say, Song Qingming immediately comforted him.
Song Yuanfang nodded slightly and continued: "Some time ago, Yuan Qian told me that some people in Chiyanfang heard discussions, saying that the sect's Guyang Mountain Formation has been open for a long time, and it seems that there are seniors who are attacking the Nascent Soul realm.
I don’t know whether this matter is true or not at the moment, and the seventh uncle specifically warned not to discuss the sect’s affairs indiscriminately before he left, so I asked Yuan Qian to lead the people from the Fang City Law Enforcement Team to control all those who discussed this matter. In the middle of the city.
Some of these people were casual cultivators near Fang City, and many were members of the Immortal Cultivation Family below. Two juniors from the family were also involved, adding up to dozens of people.
Recently, many people have come to my door, wanting me to be more liberal. Now that the seventh uncle has come back, please see how we should handle this matter. "
After hearing what Song Yuanfang said, Song Qingming's face looked a little ugly at the moment, and he said directly in a cold tone:
"We have already warned you, but there are still people who dare to ignore the instructions issued by the family like this. These people should be taught a lesson so that they can remember how to control their mouths.
The messenger told Yuan Qian to find out who the news came from first. The person who was the first to discuss the matter was allocated to mining in Yinfengling for ten years, and everyone else was allocated to two years.
If someone comes to intercede again, no matter who it is, ignore it and take them directly to the top of the mountain to find me. I want to see how courageous they are. "
"Husband, all these people are sent to Yinfeng Ridge. I'm afraid there won't be enough people there at one time and there will be trouble. Otherwise, we should be given a lighter sentence."
After hearing Song Qingming's arrangement, Huang Siyuan on the side seemed to think that the punishment was a bit harsh, and couldn't help but offered a word of advice.
Song Qingming shook his head and said bluntly: "I know they are not guilty of this, but the family has been more lenient in recent years, so these people below don't care about the family's dignity.
This time, the demon clan masters raided Guyang Mountain. It must be that the sect leaked the news, so the demon clan was prepared to come and block the way when Senior Sister Bai was undergoing the tribulation.
If there are still people in the family who can't control their mouths at this time, once the sect suspects that the news was leaked from Chiyanfang in the future, how should we explain this matter at that time.
Now it's just to let them dig mines for a few years to teach them a lesson. If someone from the sect's law enforcement hall comes to investigate this matter, I'm afraid they won't be able to get out of the mine in this life."
"Seventh uncle, this is actually true. Guyang Mountain is really where Master Bai is condensing his Nascent Soul, and there are demon clan masters going to block it?"
After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Song Yuanfang, who learned the news that Bai Yuxian had formed a Nascent Soul, was a little shocked for a while, but Song Qingming quickly nodded to him directly, confirming what he had just said.
Before Song Qingming and the others left, they specifically told Song Yuanfang not to discuss the sect's affairs.
It turned out that the leader of the "Xiaoyao Sect", Bai Yuxian, was breaking through the Nascent Soul Realm and needed the two to go and protect him. It was only because the sect strictly blocked the news that Song Qingming and the others did not tell him about this when they left.
Thinking of this, Song Yuanfang supported his forehead with some fear.
As Song Qingming just said, the leader of the "Xiaoyao Sect" had passed the tribulation and broke through the Nascent Soul Realm. How could these people below discuss such a big thing in private? Once the sect knew about this, it would inevitably attract the investigation of the Law Enforcement Hall.
At that time, it would not only be these people who went to mine and get away with it. I am afraid that the family behind them and even the "Funiu Mountain" above would be implicated.
Compared with these possible endings of the destruction of the clan, Song Qingming only punished them to mine for a few years, which was indeed a great mercy.
Thinking of the intention of Song Qingming's explanation, Huang Siyuan and Song Yuanfang also understood it immediately, but just sighed slightly and didn't say anything more.
Whether it was Huang Siyuan or Song Yuanfang, when they really became the core of the family, the Song family was no longer the weak small family at the beginning, but the thriving overlord of Qinghe County.
Therefore, when considering family affairs, the two were far less sensitive to family crises than Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, who grew up from a weak family.
Since building the foundation, Song Qingming has participated in family affairs, big and small, and led the weak Song family to grow up step by step.
At that time, Song Qingming had just built the foundation not long ago, and he knew that his cultivation ability was limited. He was always cautious in case of mistakes, in case he or his clansmen made mistakes and were caught by others to suppress them.
Even now, Song Qingming has successfully formed the elixir, and the Song family has become a hegemon dominating the northeast of Weiguo. Even when the people from the "Xiaoyao Sect" deal with them, they are polite and courteous.
However, Song Qingming still did not get carried away. He was still very clear in his heart that he and the entire Song family did not have much equal status in front of the huge sect with Yuanying cultivators.
If one day, the family also did something that the sect could not tolerate and touched their bottom line like the Ma family of "Iron Immortal Castle" did, then the end of the Song family would not be much better than that of the Ma family.
The Ma family ruled "Iron Immortal Castle" for 600 years. Now, only a short 100 years have passed, and there is no trace of the Ma family in the entire "Iron Immortal Castle".
For the "Xiaoyao Sect" that controls the entire Weiguo cultivation world, the Song family is also not an irreplaceable existence. Without the "Funiu Mountain" sect, it would not be difficult to support another Jindan family in the future.
Song Qingming certainly did not want his family to end up like this in the future. Although he never showed it in front of others over the years, he was always cautious about the sect in his heart.
Being able to cultivate to the late Jindan stage with the four spiritual roots and lead the entire family to the present, in addition to personal opportunities, this cautious character at all times also has a great influence on Song Qingming.
Fortunately, although the "Xiaoyao Sect" has some suspicions about the "Funiu Mountain" behind the scenes in recent years, it has not used any excuses to suppress the Song family. Song Qingming has also tried to maintain a good relationship between the family and the sect.
Now that Bai Yuxian has broken through the Yuanying realm, the sect will definitely expand its own strength. At this time, as long as the Song family follows closely behind the "Xiaoyao Sect", they can also get some benefits.
Therefore, the more at this time, the more the family cannot find an excuse to suppress others, otherwise once the sect is suspected, the Song family will not only not get any benefits, but also may have a grudge with the sect.
"Yuan Fang, you should handle this matter first. Remember to block the good news and let the people below shut up. No one is allowed to discuss this matter.
After two years, when the sect is stable, no one should care about this matter anymore.
It's okay for you to be more tolerant to others at ordinary times. I agree with everyone. However, if you encounter such a situation related to the safety of the family in the future, you should be more decisive in handling this matter.
Even if someone needs to make some sacrifices, don't let others easily find an excuse to suppress the family.
We are not a lone cultivator. There are so many bloodlines of the same clan behind us who need to be protected. We need to consider the family more when encountering things.
Many immortal families in the immortal world will rise and fall after becoming strong. Although the family is thriving now, we all need to be prepared for danger and never become the second Ma family. "
Hearing Song Qingming's teachings, Song Yuanfang was touched and understood his good intentions. He immediately nodded seriously.
Just as Song Qingming worried, the family has developed too fast in recent years. The younger generations in the family who have just entered the Tao can't understand the hardships of Song Qingming, Song Qingyu and others in creating the family foundation.
Over time, it is inevitable that some people will be careless and ignore the family's warnings. Song Qingming takes this matter so seriously to warn them.
The Ma family rebelled against the sect, and the family was forced to flee to Yue State, and even the Jindan clan leader died. In the hands of the "Xiaoyao Sect", the previous lesson was only a hundred years ago, and Song Yuanfang and the others were naturally very clear.
Those who manage the family, even if they cannot carry forward the family in the future, cannot let the family end up like the Ma family in their hands.
Thinking of this, Song Yuanfang's eyes became a little firm at this moment. After responding, he left the original place and went to the "Conference Hall" at the foot of the mountain.
"Siyuan, this time I saw Senior Sister Bai break through the Nascent Soul Realm, and I also had some more insights in my heart. I'm afraid I will have to retreat for a while. You can help take care of the family affairs first.
If Qingyu encounters an emergency while I'm in retreat, you must tell me immediately.
Although the demon clan does not have any advantages on the surface and will not easily go south, the actions of these demon clan masters are not so easy to guess. During this period, we must often tell everyone not to relax their vigilance."
"Husband, just retreat with peace of mind. There will be no problem with Yuanfang and I at home. Qingyu is not a careless person. I will remember to remind them. ”
After explaining to Huang Siyuan, Song Qingming returned directly to his cave and began to practice in seclusion alone.
Since he received the practice experience from Feng He two years ago, Song Qingming has studied hard for a long time in the past two years. It is equivalent to getting personal guidance from a Nascent Soul cultivator, and he has also gained a lot from it.
This time when he went to "Guyang Mountain" to protect the way, Song Qingming witnessed Bai Yuxian condensing the Nascent Soul and successfully breaking through the realm.
At that time, he suddenly had a little more understanding of practice in his mind. The bottleneck of Song Qingming's practice that has been bothering him for many years also appeared after that moment. The thread loosened.
Therefore, after returning to the family, Song Qingming did not care about other things. He hurriedly took advantage of the fact that the perception in his body had not dissipated, and carefully prepared to start a retreat to break through the realm of cultivation.
Song Qingming's cultivation had already reached the peak of the seventh level of the Golden Core, and this retreat did not disappoint him.
After refining a high-level elixir refined by Huang Siyuan, Song Qingming, with the perception in his body, finally broke through his own cultivation bottleneck very smoothly after half a year, and successfully advanced to the eighth level of the Golden Core.
After breaking through the cultivation, feeling the growth of his own mana, Song Qingming's face also showed some A look of joy.
Since Song Qingming reached the peak of the seventh level of the Golden Core, he had not made any progress in his cultivation for more than ten years, which made him a little confused about his future path.
This time he successfully broke through his cultivation, which also restored Song Qingming's inner confidence.
Next, as long as Song Qingming breaks through the last level of the Golden Core Stage and raises his cultivation to the ninth level of the Golden Core, he can prepare to try to break through the Nascent Soul.
After spending a few more days in the cave to stabilize his own cultivation level, Song Qingming, who had been in seclusion for more than half a year, opened the door of his cave. The forbidden mansion walked out.
After walking out of the cave, he just saw a ray of sunrise rising in the distant sky.
Looking at the rare beautiful scenery in the sky, Song Qingming flew directly to the top of the mountain and stood aside to watch the sunrise.
After a while, a figure in white appeared beside Song Qingming again. It was Huang Siyuan who had just received the news that he had come out of seclusion.
Seeing that Song Qingming had successfully broken through the realm of cultivation, Huang Siyuan was also very happy. Looking at the sunrise in the sky, she smiled and said to him:
"My husband's breakthrough in cultivation was so smooth this time. I think it won't take long for him to advance to the ninth level of the Golden Core."
Seeing this, Song Qingming smiled and shook his head and said: "In the late stage of the Golden Core, every step is more difficult than before. These things are not something we can calculate.
It's better to let fate take its course in cultivation. Just like me this time, when the time comes, there is always hope for a successful breakthrough. "
After the two looked at each other, Song Qingming took Huang Siyu to find a clean place to sit down and enjoy the beautiful sunrise with clouds rolling outside the mountain top.
Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan have been Taoist partners for many years. Although their life is a bit dull, they understand each other and their relationship is quite stable.
Looking at Song Qingming sitting quietly beside her, Huang Siyuan felt very at ease in her heart and couldn't help but lean her head on his shoulder.
"Husband, although the Nascent Soul Realm is a bit far away from us, I always feel that you will definitely be able to reach this step like Senior Sister Bai in the future.
I don't know if Qingyu and I will have the opportunity to keep up with you in the future. "
Hearing Huang Siyuan's sigh, Song Qingming turned his head and sighed to her with a smile: "You also know that breaking through the Nascent Soul Realm is not so easy for us. Why do you suddenly want to go so far!
The road of cultivation is long and arduous, and it is hard to predict where we can go in the end.
Regardless of whether we will have the opportunity to go further in the future, we still have hundreds of years now, and it is worth living the rest of our lives well. "
"Well! When I was in Qinghefang, I didn't even dare to think about building a foundation, how could I have thought that I would succeed in forming a pill one day and stand here with you." Huang Siyuan nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on her lips.
Seeing this, Song Qingming looked into the distance and continued to say: "Although the Nascent Soul Road is not easy, it is not completely beyond our reach, but I am really not sure about it at the moment.
But don't worry! If I really have the opportunity to cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm in the future, I will definitely try my best to support you.
By that time, we will be at the top of the cultivation world, and the other members of the family will have grown up. I will take you around to see more beautiful scenery. "
"Okay! If that day really comes, I will be with you no matter where my husband wants to go. ”
Looking at the rising sun in the distance, which had already dispelled the fog around him, Song Qingming smiled and stood up, pulling Huang Siyuan back to the cave.
The two had not seen each other for more than half a year, and it was rare to encounter the happy event of Song Qingming's breakthrough in cultivation. Huang Siyuan also put down the chores in her hands and accompanied Song Qingming in the cave for a while.
Two months later, in the family's "Meeting Immortal Pavilion".
One day, Song Qingming had just finished practicing and was sitting in the family's "Meeting Immortal Pavilion" drinking tea and reading books, when he suddenly heard a report downstairs.
After hearing this, he put down the book in his hand and responded.
After a while, Song Yuanfang, holding a red invitation in his hand, quickly came to Song Qingming and handed him the invitation in his hand.
"Seventh Uncle, I just received an invitation from the sect, inviting you to attend the celebration of Bai Laozu in a month. "
"Oh! The celebration will be held in a month, so soon? "Song Qingming took the invitation, opened it and took a look, then nodded in surprise.
After Bai Yuxian broke through the Nascent Soul realm, the sect, under the arrangement of the Grand Elder Li Mufeng, had decided to hold a grand "Nascent Soul Celebration" for her. Song Qingming had known about this for a long time.
However, he did not expect that Bai Yuxian's "Nascent Soul Celebration" had been prepared just after more than half a year.
It seems that the sect is indeed eager to announce her success in forming a baby this time.
"Yuan Fang, send a message to Baishiling to ask Qingyu to come back, and go to the family's gold storage pavilion to see if there are any spiritual objects suitable for gifts. Prepare some for me first.
This time, the sect's Nascent Soul Celebration will definitely be different from the past. Don't be stingy with spiritual objects, as it will make us look petty. "
"Don't worry, Uncle Seven, I'll arrange it right away! "Song Yuanfang responded and left the "Meeting Immortal Pavilion" directly.
After putting away the teacup beside him, Song Qingming was about to go to the family's "Alchemy Pavilion" to tell Huang Siyuan about the celebration. He didn't expect that just after he walked out of the "Meeting Immortal Pavilion", he saw her in white clothes walking towards him with a happy face from a distance.
"You are so happy, Siyuan, do you already know about the invitation!"
Huang Siyuan looked at Song Qingming with some doubts, then shook her head and said: "I just came out of retreat to make alchemy, and I don't know what invitation my husband is talking about."
"Oh! What is it that makes you so happy?" (End of this chapter)
